It really speaks to the quality of the behind the scenes work and atmosphere on their own shows.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05582237401541322274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-46486222687120827222022-08-18T03:24:24.820-05:002022-08-18T03:24:24.820-05:00Maybe it's Dawson's voice doing it, but I&...Maybe it's Dawson's voice doing it, but I'm always strongly reminded of VOY's Prototype - the one with the two robot groups still fighting each other after they turned on their makers for trying to shut them down when the war ended. B'Elanna worked to allow one of them to reproduce.<br />The station could be all that's left of its civilization. Over time, it could have lost some computer power, or found that its needs were increasing. So it turns to stealing people to enhance itself.<br /><br />But I'm glad we didn't get the explanation for the station's existence in the first place. Now we get to speculate, and more importantly, it adds an unknown that fits the horror genre very well, as you mention. In addition to the Kubrick, I'm getting Stephen King vibes from this one. :)<br /><br />Anyway, Trek is obviously in good hands with Dawson directing (and The Dictates of Poetics scrupulously adhered to). It won't be the last time ENT gets some steady hands from former Trek actors directing, and I feel it shows. I may be imagining it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
