Captain Hunt poses as a religous leader in order to rescue a group of warrior children from a space station.
I noticed in the preview that the children are wearing High Guard (almost typed StarFleet) uniforms. Is this the new crew perhapse?
My first thought was "Miri" - a "world" of children, dying as they approached adulthood. I thought of how NextGen's first 1-hour episode was a retread of an old TOS storyline. I'm glad they took it in a different direction (sort of).
Actually I counted plot elements from at least 5 Trek episodes (mostly TOS and NextGen), yet they managed to mesh them into a coherent whole. (More or less)
More character development:
Magog venom paralyzes its vitims so eggs (!) can be implanted in the living hosts
Harper lost his closest relatives that way - one wonders how he came to accept Rev as a member of Beka's crew.
Andromeda (holographic avatar of the ship's main computer) has been "made flesh" - can you say mobile emitter?
Trance looks to take over the "Deanna Troi" slot.
Ugh...didn't like this ep. Too much bad acting and some really horrible lines (lol).Next week's looks much better, though.
okay episode.
how soon we forget, what happen to the kids? did they just leave them there for any non-friendly alien to come along and kill them or make them slaves. what about the universal department of social services?
did they take the nova bombs with them?
so if andromeda couldn't cure the leader girl no one could? it's been 300 yrs i would think medicine would have improved by then.
was anyone else annoyed by the kids screaming and shouting all the times (i'm getting old)?
why does the leader girl sleeps with a gun?

Civilzation has been in decline since the fall of the Commonwealth. It's like the fall of Rome and the Dark Ages. Much of the cutting-edge technology has been lost, including medicine. That point had already been made last week with Harper's measles.

With one exception, Dylan blew them up in the slipstream.

That's why she slept with her gun. As long as "civilization" is only seven people, there is no "social services," though the could have taken them on as crew.... except was anyone else annoyed by the kids screaming and shouting all the times (i'm getting old)?
I have read some criticism on another board about the fact that Dylan and the crew left the children behind. Of course you have to question if they did want to go with Hunt would Hunt and crew have a right to take them from their home and secondly were they all minors as we view minors. In the episode they said the lifespan lasted about twenty years because of the radiation poisoning. So that meant the kids had to mature quickly and accept adult responsibilities. So in the society they had adulthood may have began around fifteen or sixteen when they started their families. Since in their society they were adults at age fifteen Hunt and crew did not leave minors unattended and would have no right to remove them from the station.
That is how I feel.
