Starship Mine
from The Beige and The Bold Hosted by VanVelding
I don't feel like there's a lot of depth to plumb here. It's "Die Hard on a starship." It's competently executed, but lacks real stakes and apes the original's character beats instead of making up ones that fit Star Trek. I dunno. Who should've gotten this? Worf, as he murders his way through twice as many mooks, going "You know how I said I'd kill you last? I lied" while holding a guy in front of an approaching baryon field. Geordi? Who's doing all this with his engineering knowledge plus he's having visor problems and--who knows--has a history with the main thief? Doctor Crusher who can spin kick and hypospray folks into next week at a 0.8 Worfs, but also has to find a way to save them from the sweep? Anyone else? My guest this week is Dr. Izixs from Watchers of Tomorrow, which also watches old Star Trek and sci-fi stuff and talks about it.
