4/10
Another Week, Another Clue, Another Opportunity To Wonder: Who Really Cares?
25 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Back to the mirror universe, or something. Or to an interdimensional rift that a version of the Enterprise from the mirror universe is stuck in. It's not the Defiant from ENT s4; it would have to be Archer's enterprise. So I guess we now know what happened to that ship after the events of Mirror, Mirror. Because we all cared so much about that.

Maybe we could have an episode that consists of nothing but our protagonists talking about what the technology they're seeking could accomplish, or what they'd like to do with it when they got their hands on it? Or the antagonists, hell, I don't care--seriously, I don't care. I'm not invested in the story here. I don't think there's been any forward progression all season. There's a little in this episode, coming in the form of Mall and Loch's (sp?) backstory, but it doesn't give us much. Over-the-top performances by human characters, acting like they're just 21st-century people who happen to live in the 25h century, continue to ruin otherwise decent scenes. We're still chasing the same people, looking for the same clues. The guy from Battlestar Galactica and the guy from RENT are good, as usual.
