(A Quick Note: This review contains a few more spoilers than usual. Some have actually been requesting that for a while, so for those people, today is your lucky day. But if you want to keep some of the mystery alive, I’d recommend skipping the “MVP & LVP” section on this one. —Jess)
In today’s episode, when the Enterprise is tapped to scare off Beta Quadrant baddies, the locals advise shooting first and asking questions never. But when Picard realizes that may well be the only way to neutralize an even bigger threat, he’ll need all of Data’s USB ports to get the job done. Can you change the difficulty setting of space? How do hiccups feel to a Trill? And how much setup is too much for one pun? All this and more in Intellivore, the book that demonstrates the value of (ab)using your noggin.
In today’s episode, when Voyager’s latest grocery run puts them on holy ground, the natives are surprisingly chill about it. But when they make off with an ensign who gets their old-time religion, Janeway only has until the Rapture to get her back. How much weight do the needs of the many carry in the Delta Quadrant? When would Voyager need to start seriously considering a coupling regimen? And will Chakotay dare to tarnish his immaculate “being uninteresting” streak? All this and more in Chrysalis, the book that spills the Kazon tea.
