Set dressers

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2012)

The plot, story line, acting, all were great, I think Gene Roddenberry would have been proud. However, since this was a tale about James T. Kirk and the crew of the original Enterprise NCC-1701, I think the set dressers should have used the original series' sets rather than modernize the Enterprise. Aside from that, I loved the reference to Captain Johnathan Archer's (Star Trek: Enterprise) "prized beagle" (Porthos). Set changes for NCC-1701-A through NCC-1701-D are okay as they are different ships, but there was only ever one NCC-1701. I also didn't like that the Romulans were all face-tattooed and beard-stubbled, kind of like Chakotay from Voyager with respect to the tattoos (Chakotay never had beard stubble). (Yes, I am a fan of all 6 Star Trek series'--Star Trek, Next Generation, Voyager, the animated series, Enterprise, and Deep Space 9 (I liked DS9 the least and am torn between Voyager and NextGen (Janeway v Picard). I liked them both.
