Steve Shives reviews "Blink of an Eye"


If you're a follower of SFDebris, you know that Chuck HATES this episode. Steve was much more positive.


While I agree with Chuck that a few of the guest stars were underwhelming, I have to counter it with the knowledge that there's not much to do with the roles when you only have one scene, maybe a minute long. On one set, with one other actor.


I'm sure I could write whole screeds of complaints about the Treknobabble used to justify this planets existence, my only big problem is the "walking among the frozen crew until time notices them" bit. There should've been turbulence as their ship transitioned to Voyager's timeframe, and that's what killed the woman (Terrina, FYI). Probably the ship would've been destroyed and Gotana-Retz gets an emergency beamout, returning to the planet in a specially-modified escape pod.
