I like time-travel stories as much as the next dude. . .but Data hangin’ at a cocktail party with Guinan and Mark Twain? Save it for the Holodeck.
And, frankly, I couldn’t follow what was happening. If there are malevolent aliens in an out-of-phase time synch, why isn’t this more of an issue all the time? One would think there are therefore an infinite amount of slight deriviations in time synch. Is there something like the Federation a few clicks off, too? And how is La Forge able to whip up a out-of-time-synch device so quickly? Isn’t this, like, a big deal?!? And when they get there (not that they go anywhere) — Are those glowy things soul-eaters? Why do they only eat 500 year old American souls? I guess we’ll find out in part two, but this better be good.
