Review of Timescape

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Timescape (1993)
Season 6, Episode 25
8/10
Great sci-fi concept and nicely weird
28 December 2021
Picard, Data, Troi and Geordie experience time standing still.

This is a solid time and space episode with a strong concept and some good character moments.

This episode is slightly reminiscent of the original series episode 'Wink of an Eye', but this one is stronger as it makes a better story out of a similar sci-fi concept. It also contains some memorable weird moments and an overall creepy atmosphere.

All the cast are great, especially in the opening scenes where the characters are relaxed and interacting more informally than usual.

Visually it is excellent, with great set design, and some cool eerie scenes where the crew members are frozen in time.

Due to the nature of the episode it is very exposition heavy and the technobabble comes thick and fast.

For me it's a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.
