Logline
Uhura seems to be the only one who can hear a strange sound. When the noise triggers terrifying hallucinations, she enlists an unlikely assistant to help her track down the source.
Written by Onitra Johnson & David Reed
Directed by Dan Liu
Overall a solid episode, a little different but ultimate felt very core Star Trek TOS with strange alien life and coming to a resolution.
Paul Wesley continues to impress me in the role of James T Kirk but his character did not need to be in this episode, they need to be careful with how they use him going forward.
I liked this episode, and Uhura’s futuristic looking pillow
Makes me nervous about the…safety of the ship if one guy who I don’t think was even supposed to be posted on the enterprise (like Ramon was part of the refinery crew before Enterprise got there) was able to cut the power (no backups?) And blow up the nacelle , maybe starfleet should review their backup and security procedures there
It’ll be a while before I can watch this one, but I predict that Jim Kirk was an hallucination the whole time.
I look forward to logging in and seeing just how badly I’ve been roasted for being wrong.
One man’s hallucination is another’s parallel dimension.
Literally the only guy that wasn’t. Lol.
Well, dang it.
So Uhura punched Kirk under hallucinations and then years after they kissed forced by telekinesis and some guy remembered me that in the prime universe when they met she thought he was hitting on her and he got punched (unrelated). In the kelvin-verse when they met he actually was hitting on her and he got punched (related).

I thought this one was…fine. I don’t think it will go down in history as one of the more logical episodes, but it told the story it was trying to tell.
I do wish they’d given Spock an actual reason to approach Kirk and Uhura in that final scene. I get that they wanted to commit that meeting to film, but it was strange for him to just sort of…wander over.
I’m starting to get DS9 vibes among the crew. I’m liking that things are complicated. This season doesn’t feature Pike much, does it? DS9 of course handled politics and religion well and I suspect SNW is steering clear. I knew that (blank) would return but I didn’t expect him to be a decomposing corpse.
I was gearing up for a Gorn episode and they faked us all out!
I liked it thy gave most of the cast (sorry Ortegas) screentime and moved a lot of side plots a small amount.
Moderately bummed they retroactively made Thor (George Kirk) seem like a less good father, though.
