ENT - The Crossing

The Crossing can be described as mediocre at best. It is a rather boring and predictable episode, not necessarily bad, but not very good either. The wisps are basically groups of coalescent energy that travels through subspace and can seemingly be in more than one place at a time, yet they require a ship to survive. This is completely absurd. These beings can travel through subspace of their own accord, so they definitely don’t need it for transportation, and since they are comprised solely of energy they don’t require a ship in order to stay alive. They are even seen through the windows of the ship multiple times in the episode. So, therefore, the whole premise of the episode seems to be flawed. Other than that, the episode was very slow and predictable. I could tell that the wisps were lying to Enterprise crew by about the sixth minute into the episode. And Phlox must have had his brain turned off, to risk going down to Hoshi’s quarters, when “Hoshi” claimed that her leg was broken, you could tell that she was trying to lay a trap right after she called up to the cat walk. This episode proceeded from a false premise, and was incredibly predictable, slow moving, and boring; definitely not one of Enterprise’s better achievements.
