I...I am not a major fan of the three-arc structure. It seems to me it ends up dragging a little. But again, I'm glad the writers are trying something new, and IIRC they get better at pacing them.<br /><br />The Orion detour at least puts another building block on the table for a future episode, and gives us a little exposition on how Soong is so at home in space. He's not Starfleet, but he's been out there.<br /><br />His escape attempt seems quite in character to me. He seems to take things one problem at a time, and not think too far ahead. Relying on his natural brilliance to get him out of trouble all his life has left him lacking the foresight he would be capable of.<br /><br />I liked seeing a somewhat rattled T'Pol help the surprisingly surviving ensign to stay calm. There's nothing to soothe nerves like soothing someone else's. I'm guessing this was supposed to be the beginning flicker of T'Pol's final arc, really kicking off when she gets to read Surak's actual writings. But that way sadness lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
