About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a reflective, character-driven Star Trek adventure that bridges eras with big stakes and familiar faces, like Star Trek: The Next Generation; Not for you if you need a tight, plot-hole-free story and constant momentum.
Pros: two-captain crossover moments; emotional stakes for captain; exciting set-piece action | Cons: convoluted Nexus rules; uneven humor beats; underused supporting crew
