If anything, for once the Trek reset button is actually appropriate because it allows the episode to take the emotional arc of the characters far beyond the couple of days worth of time we usually get in the space of one episode. See, for example, "The Inner Light."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-65997210100637915862007-12-04T21:16:00.000-04:002007-12-04T21:16:00.000-04:00I loved that they brought back the "All Good Thing...I loved that they brought back the "All Good Things" designs for this episode.

Same politics and biases apply. I don't know if SF or syndicated shows (most voting peers coming from non-SF, non-syndicated backgrounds), but Star Trek never did well.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-72028099408429270902007-12-04T12:33:00.000-04:002007-12-04T12:33:00.000-04:00When this episode failed to earn an Emmy nominatio...When this episode failed to earn an Emmy nomination for more than Outstanding Make-Up, is when it became clear to me that the Emmy Awards are the biggest joke on the planet when it comes to appreciating television.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and that's Andy "Garak" Robinson's daughter as Melanie.

The show is a masterpiece, and really speaks to me on a personal level. The secenes when young Jake breaks down with his father in sick bay and when old Jake says goodbye get me every time.Matthew Turnagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115327182071167651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-85143971497603070522007-12-04T10:45:00.000-04:002007-12-04T10:45:00.000-04:00First time I saw this, it just blew me away.

Even if you don't like the sci fi trappings, the emotions on display will suck you in.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.com
