Comment Plot Repetition (Score 1) 1689
So aside from the acting which might get better and the Vulcans vs. Humans thing which looks like they intend to resolve - after all we become bosom buddies later on - I found the plot behind the episode just the same old crap.
That temporal chamber reminds me too much of the worm hole and the new super aliens even have the ability to shape change. Sounds to me like they are trying to ressurect the DS9 plot. Toss in some Vulcan/Human problems, evil genetic engineering, a few Klingons and you've suddenly got something fresh.
I personally would have thought just exploring the galaxy for the first time and encountering so many new and possibly hostile aliens would have been enough.
In fact, since TOS represents a lot of the Cold War and NG feels like after the fall of the Berlin Wall, why not model this series on the events from the turn of the century (18th-19th) to early WWII. I would think those years contain a wealth of plot ideas.
Anyways, it's Star Trek, it'll take them a bit to find their footing.
