      Storyline

      Edit
      • Trivia
        The "trial" set up is a nod to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) where Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy are framed for murder and are brought to a similar trial setting (except it's a Klingon court). In addition, the aggressive manner in which Clar questions the lower decks officers under duress is similar to how Kirk and McCoy were questioned by Chang (played by Christopher Plummer) in ST VI.
      • Goofs
        The stadate of when Freeman obtains the map is 57818.4. The star date of when Rutherford, Shaxs, and Billups retrieve the Romulus Bird of Prey from the museum is 57791.1. The former event should've occurred before the latter, not nearly one month after.

      Getting better - at least as a parody
      I am SLOWLY warming up to the show. I still think it's not really Star Trek and doesn't even hold up when compared to TAS. But as a parody it's not as bad as I feared. This episode in particular makes it obvious that it really should be looked at as a parody and shouldn't be taken too serious. And even though this episode feels completely disjointed and all over the place with no consistent narrative, it's okay if you watch it for the laughs and see it in the vein of Family Guy, which I think is what they where going for in this episode. Also, Q's cameo was nice, even if it was just for a few seconds and felt completely random.
