Rewatching in preparation for the finale, and I keep feeling that the voice of Curzon Dax sounds quite similar to the voice of Odo in DS9. I’m quite aware that Rene Auberjonois passed away not that long ago: may he rest in peace. And I guess he was voiced by Fred Tatasciore (Shaxs), which I can hear too. But I keep hearing Odo which is really nice.
There was so much joyful “Eeeeee”-ing during this episode.
One of the best episodes of Star Trek I’ve seen in a long time. Loved it!
I agree.
The recipe for this show is just so good. I’m really not into most of the newer stuff where they’re trying to one-up every previous series in scope and stakes. I’m thinking particularly of Discovery here. It’s fine for those who like these things, but I think having a show that’s blasse about the routineness of life-threatening adventures and also presenting characters that seem like Trekies themselves as audience proxies is such a refreshing way to both enjoy the adventures and take the pressure off of the expectation that each show somehow has to out-do all the previous adventures of all the previous crews of all the previous Enterprises.
I’ve found the season to be a little lacklustre, but I really liked this one. The gags seemed like more than just gags, and the story was more engaging than I thought many of them have been recently.
Having Jolene Blalock back was a real treat.
I just started this one and have to keep pausing it to calm down every time he introduces a member of his crew.
