For whatever else the faults of that show were, at least the crystal was trying to kill everybody, and it had a fun catch phrase.<br /><br />It sounds as if they were trying to get at some sort of story regarding the treatment of children viewed from the outside. Well, if that were the case, *dramatize* it in some manner other than a Picard speech. As Kevin suggested, have the creature put into reality some of the things from Clara's mind. Or, turn the Enterprise crew into children in order to punish them. Something novel, with high stakes!matthewweflenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540521459703556959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-6547139690555808702011-12-15T11:09:54.547-06:002011-12-15T11:09:54.547-06:00There is an argument for a three, but the somehow,...There is an argument for a three, but the somehow, the energy strands that slowed the Enterprise also slowed the episode. Normally, I'm not one to say there should be more yelling and explosions, but really, had everyone just shouted their lines the entire episode, it would have at least added some energy.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05582237401541322274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-9841472487884260032011-12-15T10:56:32.925-06:002011-12-15T10:56:32.925-06:00I wish you guys had given this a little higher sco...I wish you guys had given this a little higher score. I agree there are some plot issues(like children running around with no supervision. I like your point about the lack of other entertainment spaces. But I think there were a lot of good moments in this episode and the kids sort of rocked.sirkatzalothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196996609340706645noreply@blogger.com
