PANEL OF THE DAY - Data's scanning song from Generations (Spoken word version)
REVIEW: I was quite harsh on Carlos Garzon's art last issue, and I stand by that. This issue is much improved, sometimes attaining the feel of Gray Morrow's issues, but there are some very ugly panels too. As for the story, the mystery keeps me interested and characters are well characterized, but for something that's supposed to be about Julia Crandall, she isn't in it very much. And those multiple interruptions from "the present" where Sulu repeatedly confirms he remembers none of this... well, those are pretty annoying.
