So when critics were sent the first six episodes for review, they all kept saying that episode 5 was the one to watch for. And now we know why. Episode 5 was a total love letter to Deep Space Nine (My favorite Star Trek series). Holy God, that was so frakkin good!
I have watched episode 5 (Series Acclimation Mil) twice now and it got me more than a little emotional with it's exploration of what happened to Benjamin Sisko. Since the first episode I have been hoping for an episode centered on Sam, the photonics character. She seemed to be one of the most interesting characters of the new cadets. I still feel we didn't get a full explanation of how her tech works (because although she is a hologram, it seems like she's not exactly the same as The EMH and I'd like to explore the ways her tech is different), but this was a great character piece for her
And the cameos…I don't want to spoil them in case anyone hasn't seen, but they were not on my bingo card and I got choked up seeing some of those characters again.
THE EARLY CRITICS WERE SPOT ON. Episode 5 was indeed the one to watch for…I really enjoyed the first four (and with the sole exception of episode 2, the show seems to have improved with each and every passing episode) but episode 5 in particular is flawless. This is Star Trek at it's best
You're from the future?Well that's brilliant!Do they still have sandwiches there?
