This one is fun - I wish Clancy Brown would pop up more often on Star Trek in the future.

Heartwarming and hilarious from start to finish. Love that the Kreetassans are back and as easily offended as before. This one had me laughing and crying at the same time.

I have seen stories like this one before - Lt Barklay, for instance....but the twist at the end of this one had me reeling. Very well done with a lot of heartwarming moments.

Terrific episode with plenty of suspense and intrigue. It was a shocker to find that the Xindi are not all evil.

I love it when Star Trek mixes in with other genres. This one, an old west story, has some great back story and a plausible reason for the stagnation of the western culture. Excellent.

This one shows that they all can't be winners. A very poorly written and oddly directed episode that feels like large parts were cut for some reason.

Hilarious beginning that takes a pretty cool turn. Terrific precursor to TOS's "Journey to Babel".
