![]() We next catch up with the gang at the founding of the Federation as they foil the Romulans’ plot to blow up the ceremony, with hologram Dr. ![]() Tendi continues to be frustrated by Rutherford, who is just having fun stealing the bandits’ cool old-timey punk outfits and not focusing on the plan to “kidnap that octopus and take it to a safe house,” as one does. The next stop on the time-travel tour takes the Starfleet crew to 1980s Earth and the Sydney Aquarium, where they dispatch some unruly Australian punks, naturally. Tendi is way into every little detail and pissed at Sam’s casualness, which included him popping out for a sandwich and not focusing on their new mission to protect Koro from the Romulans. They find themselves in 2341 during the “Great Soolian Algae Crisis”-you know the one, right? They witness the historic moment when the giant cephalopod Ambassador Koro communicated with the Algaeic Slime Mind to prevent the destruction of the Federation. “Smells like fried Romulan in here”Įven though Boimler downplayed the chase sequence, Tendi and Rutherford are having a blast Gravcycling after the Rommies, with D’Vana doing her own stunts, taking down the bad guy vehicle, and performing an amazing vault over the resulting explosion “for Starfleet!” But the Romulans escape via a time portal, so Acting Captain Vesper orders the crew to follow. ![]() She leaves Bucephalus Dagger alone with this “Illustor,” and the lazily named alien follower Knicknac.Ī movie means cool new dark uniforms. As the holodeck stalls for time to give Brad’s extras a backstory, Mariner bails, dismayed that the path to Ki-ty-ha is literally a map written on the cultist’s flabby-skinned back. Tendi/Vesper spots the Romulans escaping and uses a nice line-up of action-scene-ready Gravcycle bikes to give chase and is thrilled when Brad puts her in command as acting captain so he can find “the meaning of life.” Boimler dismisses Mariner’s complaints of a bad sequel, pointing out “Rise of Vindicta” was just an excuse to violently work out her anger issues, while he has gone full auteur to examine the human condition. A perfect moment for some set piece action finally gets Mariner interested, but Brad/Dagger is more interested in random background mystics, focusing on one cultist preaching “Ki-ty-ha” as the source of all truth. The team heads to Tatasciore IX to stop the Romulans from getting the fuel they need to go back in time to destroy the Federation. ![]() Gibson confused and Mariner wondering why he designed her to be so hot. The scientist fills us in using a familiar-looking briefing on the Chronogami, complete with epic technobabble like “Chronogasmic.” She gives the team a (“very convenient and not at all dumb” according to Beckett) watch that can track the Chronogami, but when the romance subplot starts to kick in, Brad (sorry Bucephalus) is all business, leaving Dr. Helena Gibson, who has some history with Bucephalus. A call from the (real) Commander Ransom forces a pause to the holodeck program giving Mariner time to grouse about the title “Crisis Point II”-she’s concerned it will mess with her “Vindictaverse.” Boimler heads out to check in with Ransom as the gang is left to watch the cool credits and get into character: Rutherford as chief engineer Sylvo Toussant (he smartly gives up on trying a Cajun accent), Tendi as science officer Meena Vesper, and Mariner as first officer Rebecca Doodle… and she might have a point when she calls the whole thing “fan fiction.”īrad returns to pick up the action at a Starfleet Temporal Laboratory and we meet the sexy Dr. Hmm, looks like our pals are doing another movie thing as if the cinematic aspect ratio wasn’t already a clue. They quickly chase away the Warbird and the Starfleet ship captains exchange some fun banter with Freeman revealing the Romulans stole an obviously-named time travel device called a Chronogami. But hope arrives with the powerful USS Wayfarer under the command of the heroic Captain Bucephalus Dagger… who looks a lot like Boimler (and his bridge crew looks a lot like Tendi, Rutherford, and Mariner). Things kick off in the heat of the battle with the USS Cerritos being boarded by Romulans! Ransom’s security team is too late to stop the bad guys from stealing a device, and things look dire as Freeman preps to abandon ship. We don’t have time to chat up the extras” WARNING: Spoilers below! RECAP “We have a movie to do, man.
