REVIEW 2022

Warning: Spoilers
It's nice to get back to Starbase 112. Time for some much needed R&R, whilst relief supplies are loaded on board in preparation for our next mission. Tagra IV is an ecologically devastated planet in the Argolis Cluster, so I am sure we will be heading out that way as soon as we've picked up a few things at the stations duty-free shop. And we've got a pretty face in Miss Rogers. Of course, whenever a pretty young thing comes aboard it seems to be the duty of the second-in-command to show her to her quarters.

That round-plate wall-hanging certainly gets around, or did the decorators buy up a warehouse lot?

I should say at this stage, that thirty years ago I had a big crush on Olivia d'Abo. I remember her from the Wonder Years, and a few other shows and films. Isn't TV amazing the way it brings back memories of old crushes you had long-ago forgotten about?

From the episode title we know it's going to be a Q show. Let's brace ourselves. It seems like our Miss Rogers has a touch of the Q about her too. It's good to have her about, she might prove useful.

A promising start but we have taken a side-street with questions of continuum paternity. Amanda's examining her own feelings having suddenly learned that she's a Q. But she's spent her lifetime living as a human girl, playing with dolls, eating pizza, going to the mall, 24th century style.

It's an interesting story and a great idea, but a bit light-weight.

This Episodes Clue: Handbags and Gladrags, Build Me Up Buttercup.

(Answer's to all episode clues will appear in the reviews of season seven, episode 25: All Good Things, Part One.)
