The Crossing, teleplay by #RickBerman & #BrannonBraga.

1️⃣ There's an interesting idea here, but it goes nowhere. The episode feels underdeveloped. And, despite a plot where the crew are being taken over, nothing that happens is ever exciting. Plus, there are lots of unanswered questions when the closing credits appear.

3️⃣ Rough-and-ready Trip is paired with a snooty princess, as ...
