Now we’re talking. This is one of the fans’ favorites and wil good cause. If it were just a timeline disturbance episode, dayanu. But what Yesterday’s Enterprise does is take that and spin it around. A timeline disturbance where WE are the disturbance. Out of nowhwere a wink and suddenly the Enterprise, a ship of discovery, is a ship of war (and, hence, the lights are dimmer.) Worf is gone, Yar is back and only Guinan knows “something is wrong.” It’s heavy, Philip K. Dick-ian stuff that actually takes some thought to follow and there all victories come at a cost. Terrific stuff and hats off to the cast for accurately portraying what their characters would be like with the same DNA but different backgrounds.
