With a premise I thought sounded interesting I was looking forward to this one but awful is an understatement. First, it’s clear no one involved in this knows spit about Star Trek or even basic science. For example when setting a course there are two numbers, ie 151 mark 330. The first is the degrees in a horizontal circle the latter a vertical circle so between the two you set a course at any point in a sphere. That means since there are only 360 degrees in a circle each number must be between 0 and 359 so why are they setting courses like”745 mark 442”? Dumb. Then there’s the outright plagiarism. I can’t believe Paramount isn’t suing these folks. In one scene they flee a borg ship and do the same hiding in a nebula thing from STTNG including the exact verbatim dialogue and even course headings. I laughed out loud at the sheer preposterousness of it. Then there’s the millions of mispronunciations, my favorite bring that the Jem Hadar are addicted to “carousel white” not Ketrucel White. But most of all this could have been better written in every way by me when I was in 5th grade; not just the grammar and dialogue but the ridiculous gratuitous nonsense of the “story”. All it is is some stupid vehicle to go on a nostalgia tour of Star Trek. I mean come on, the chapters have been fighting Borg, a billion references to Janeway, Picard and Riker, a chapter where the first officer is busted by a Q that she’s married to (and this serves no story purpose at all. But then there is no story. Then we go to DS9 where no two people say Bajor the same way, we bring back Siskin though not sounding anything like Sisko, oh yeah I forgot the meetup with the gay sounding Klingons, or the helmsman who is a descendant of Kirk even though Kirk has no descendants since his only son was killed, then we go through the wormhole and pick up Odo and deal with those ‘Carousel White” addicted Jem Hadar...blah blah blah. Did anyone write one original thing? This is nothing but a touching retrospective of old Trek. Seriously it’s bloody awful. I really thought this premise had a lot of potential but now I just want to shoot museum out the nearest airlock. I’d rather be assimilated. Oh wait, they did create a Betazed Assasins Guild. Sigh.
