Star Trek: New Voyages, after having technical issues during the scheduled premiere, and subsequent loss of the feeds, finally was able to release the latest episode of the series World Enough and Time.
World enough and Time Starring George Takei as the Alumni guest, along with a cameo by Grace Lee Whitney as Janice Rand is an episode based around the memories of now Captain Sulu on board the USS Excelsior remembering a mission, and a life...
During a rescue mission, The Enterprise proceeds into the neutral zone, and is met by three Romulan vessels who triangulate, and destroy the ship Kirk and crew try to rescue, and are discovered to be in the neutral zone, and the Romulan Warbirds turn to pursue. Enterprise destroys the warbirds, but end up in a multi-layered time shift, where upon Sulu is commissioned by Kirk to take a shuttle, and retrieve the data one of the warbird's computer cores.
Sulu, and a Computer tech named Lisa shoot across the area to the disabled Warbird, and gain the information, only to encounter major problems, and Kirk calls for Scotty to beam them both back, even though the conditions are dicey at best. Scotty locks on, but is only to bring back Sulu Fully, and he's aged 30 years, but was only gone 30 seconds! But, there my be hope for a second person to be saved! And Scotty locks on to a signal, and beams aboard Alana...Sulu and Lisa's adult daughter. Alana is also not fully materialized, so she's being held in suspension between real world, and the pattern buffer that is keeping her live.
As the story unfolds, Alana seems to be tied to the anomaly, and to save the ship, they must try to retrieve the data Sulu recorded, but Sulu just can't remember even with the aid of Dr. McCoy, and some "medical cocktails" he mixed to jog the memory. Spock and Scotty work on a way to release the ship that fails, and end up with 32 minutes to find out that Alana is wholly tied to the anomaly, and could never be freed. The only way to get the ship out of danger is to use an old copy of Sulu's pattern, taken just before he was beamed back to the ship during the beginning of the episode. We'll leave the rest for you to see...
This was one of the best episodes produced to date, and seems to only get better with each new show coming down the pipe. Kudo's to James Cawley, and the gang for a great action packed, well told story, and an ending that was WELL WORTH the wait!
