The Defiant crew makes way for its next bounty: Berlinghoff Rasmussen, infamous time-traveling thief and con man. Berlinghoff has escaped custody on Starbase 214 and has his sights set on tech from the forbidden planet and final resting place of Captain Christopher Pike, Talos IV. With top-secret orders from Starfleet, Worf and his crew are to intercept the target without being detected by anyone... including the Federation.
This was a fun issue that delves back into the world that we first saw portrayed in the Star Trek Pilot The Cage. But adding more spice to the story is the audaciousness of Berlinghoff Rasmussen's plan to steal a Talosian and use it to profit from its powerful psychic powers. I loved the dialogue between Spock and The Keeper towards the close of the issue. And I enjoyed Worf's ultimate answer to the moral dilemma he is faced with when it comes to the fate of The Keeper and the Talosians. Indeed the way this story ends leaves us with some interesting possibilities for future stories with The Talosians if other writers are game to take it on. Read Full Review
Feehan and Rodrix deliver some impressive and beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. I love the composition of the scenes and how well the different art styles complement each other. Read Full Review
It's incredible the amount of humanity Cantwell can inject in a Star Trek series that features little to no humans. Read Full Review
Nothing better then taking established lore and referencing it in a new story. This series is one of the best series currently avilable. This is actually Star Trek. Give the fans what they want instead of telling them what they want. What a concept! Keep it up. 10/10
I've enjoyed this bounty hunter arc. Between Hugh in the last issue and Rasmussen in this one, these are nice callbacks to TNG. Even though the arc has been low stakes thus far, I imagine it will pick up soon.
