    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      If you look on the book shelf in Mayweather's quarters aboard the Horizon, there is a white book entitled "Gangsters of the 20th Century," suggesting that this is the same ship Horizon that played a major role in the backstory of A Piece of the Action (1968).
    • Goofs
      Travis deliberately hides the Horizon's experience with the space pirates from Archer when the latter mentioned seeing hull damage on the ship, likely to show that he thinks his old cargo ship is fine on its own. But a Starfleet officer would certainly report this right away, both so the Enterprise could be on the lookout for the enemy aliens and so Starfleet could warn other cargo ships.

    Not important so give it a 'Miss'
    No Spoilers. Probably best to just skip this episode as it adds nearly nothing to the overall plot or development of characters. The basic plot sees Travis Mayweather spending several days visiting the freighter he grew up on and encountering various levels of discontent with his having left for Starfleet. We also see T'pol complaining extra hard for most of the episode about being coerced into fraternizing with the crew for 'Movie Night'.

    The main flaws are that the episode is corny, poorly acted, badly written and under-dramatic. What could have been a powerful homecoming with a complex emotional landscape falls flat, at best, and is cringe-worthy at worst. The freighter, Horizon, is populated by less-than-believable family members who treat Travis with a coolness that conveys less that they are shunning him and more that they have simply never seen him before and are forced at gunpoint to pretend they have. The acting is terrible on every level with only Billingsley and Trineer coming out unscathed.

    Much of the dramatic plot movements happen off-screen which is bad enough but, worse so does the emotional reaction. When we do see an emotional scene it feels forced and stilted with little warmth or realism. The episode is much like a high school play written by an eighth grader. It references the human condition without having long personal experience with it, leaving the viewer bored and incensed with the waste of their time.
