A fun episode in a show that does not take itself too seriously. Dragged a touch at times but a unique twist on a classic Star Trek plot line

Not as bad as S2:E7 Those Old Scientists, but it's not Star Trek. I quickly gave up and fast forwarded through the rest of the episode, reducing the pain and waste of my time. It's a pity, because the first half of season 2 was pretty darn good.
