What a fantastic penultimate episode for this highly creative first season. Crisis point adopts a holodeck style narrative again for it's main storyline and does it so well. From the second the widescreen format was adopted i knew we were in for a treat. This episode centres around Ensign Mariner playing out her deep feelings toward her Captain/Mother in a thrilling and movie style environment with the help of Boimlers interactive and almost exact rendition of the Cerritos crew however it turns out to be more of a theraputic aid in that she sees some reasoning behind her mothers actions.
The plot is ok but slightly tired for this debut season however the jokes/references and visual nods are what make this an absolute enjoyment to watch, from the multiple exterior shots of the ship to the ott fight scenes to the mixed spoof ship crash (Enterprise D saucer crash in Generations/Voyager crash in the episode Timeless) this was just a massive treat for hard core trek fans....I'm thouroghly enjoying this programme and love the lighthearted and ubiquitous nods to my favourite franchise
