Vanishing Point - Spoilers Involved
An ok episode - an interesting twist on the ?it was just a dream? idea
and better than ?The Next Phase.?
The introduction was a little longer than the previous episodes but
well done. The progression of Hoshi?s dream was interesting - slow
but, for a dream, fairly logical. In fact, had it been more logical, I
would have been more upset. Not too many of my dreams are logical. I
especially liked the voices of Malcolm and Trip being interjected.
Some may complain that, since her hand could pass through a wall, why
didn?t her feet? Well, since it WAS a dream, Hoshi regulated that,
not the laws of physics. In fact, Trip?s allusion to the laws of
physics not working was quite apt.
And I wonder where she came up with the name Cyrus Ramsey? Since this
was all a product of her mind, conscious and unconscious, it must have
been in there somewhere - and we Wisconsinite thank her for having our
state develop transporter technology!!
The aliens planting a bomb part seemed contrived - had to put the ship
in some sort of danger, right? I didn?t really believe her emotional
seesaw throughout the episode. I was able to easily distance myself
and didn?t really become ?involved? in the episode as I have with
others. Music was ok but, again, did not really powerful. And, I do
hope that little mistake in the scene between the captain and Hoshi
was not the start of lowering quality.
Great lines: ?As far as I?m concerned, I never saw you come in.? ?You
men are all alike.?
Star Rating - 2.5 stars - This works for me, somewhat.
