Viewing Notes
When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. While definitely as action-packed as the first, this one borrows from Trek lore much like Kirk’s original second outing in the films by pulling from the Trek episode ‘Space Seed’ and while they do something different with it this time, they play too much upon what we’ve seen before in Trek instead of building up their own thing which was the point of creating this alternate timeline to play in the first place. I do like what they’ve got here, but it loses something when they don’t try to completely forge their own path and I hope we get that with the next one. They do lightly touch on the topic of domestic and non-domestic terrorism and the building up of Starfleet beyond what they’re supposed to be which is a force to protect the Federation and turning them into a full blown fleet of warriors.
