A lot of this episode really is fun and charming to watch... I’m just not sure that what this already pretty scattered season needed was a Kirk-centric hour—especially when characters like Ortegas and Una have gotten so little focus. Go to Full Review Keith Phipps New York Magazine/Vulture Aug 14
4/5
Paul Wesley has settled nicely into the role of young Kirk, and each appearance finds his acquaintanceship with various Enterprise crew members evolving into respectful friendships that will deepen in the future. Go to Full Review Melody McCune Tell-Tale TV Aug 18
