Doctor Phlox starts to dictate a message to a friend back
at Starfleet when the Enterprise encounters a race that is
dying from an apparently unstoppable genetic weakness. But
when Phlox discovers a cure he realises that helping one race
of inhabitants on the planet could jeopardise another...
Dear
Doctor is a slow, leisurely episode despite its apparently
apocalyptic subject matter and the 'revelation' at the heart
of the plot is a little lumpy. But
the pace suits the semi-narrated action and helps place the
doctor's moral dilemma at the centre of the story. The old
adage 'less is more' proves true yet again.
The
Enterprise encounters a damaged Klingon warship but plans
to rescue the stricken craft goes badly wrong, stranding T'Pol,
Hoshi and Reed on the lifeless hulk as it plunges into a gas
giant...
Sleeping
Dogs is a bit of a nothing episode. The Klingons are an
unnecessary detail - it really could have been any alien -
but that's not really the point. The action has been set up
to show Hoshi getting her space legs and start to face up
to her fears of deep space travel, which it does really quite
well.
Again,
it's not a classic but there's plenty here to enjoy. The crew
of the Enterprise proves more interesting by the week.
