WORTH CONSUMING!
This is a rare gem. Normally,
stories involving Scotty suck. Palin and simple. He’s just not a great lead
character. However, this works. The story unfolds backwards, like the movie
“Memento” and it makes for a very powerful story when you come to realize how
deep Scotty’s relationship with his wife is- even though she is NEVER mentioned
in either the series or movies.
I also appreciate the backstory
between Scotty and the young crewman who dies in his arms during “Wrath of
Khan”. To me, it’s always been one of those things you’d learn more about in
the Director’s Cut. Turns out the crewman is Scotty’s nephew. When I saw that
scene again on HBO Family recently, it made a lot more sense and was more
powerful to watch.
Worth Consuming!
