Review of
Star Trek The Next Generation: Spirit in
the Sky, comic
Three out of five stars
Weak premise poorly carried out
The story opens
with a strong premise, an unusual and unidentified energy wave hits the
Enterprise at the same time they are encountering the ship of a previously
unknown species. The two events are not related in the sense that one is
causing the other. The wave momentarily winks out the power systems of the
Enterprise, yet there is no lasting effect.
At the same
time, the crew of the Enterprise is preparing for a Christmas party, with even
the Captain attending. It is going to be quite the social event, Deanna, Tasha
and Dr. Crusher are all dressing up in steamy, sexy clothing.
Some members of
the command crew of the alien ship are invited aboard the Enterprise, they are
searching for the energy source and there is an armed confrontation. All is
eventually resolved without a major conflict when the true nature of the energy
force is revealed in the form of a creature familiar to humans. It is pretty
cheesy in nature and is truly a stretch for modern science fiction. The story
is very weak and lacks realistic tension at the end.
