Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Enterprise crew encounters a SOS from a lost colony ship and encounters a group of primitive colonists and after assisting them, they encounter the remaining colonists that traveled with them on another world with a unique problem of their own.
Our Take
This one hasn’t aged well. The Irish colonists are played as such broad stereotypes that it’s uncomfortable, and the comedy mostly falls flat. The cloning storyline is the more interesting half, but it gets rushed in the back end. Watchable if you’re completing the season, but it’s a mid-tier filler hour at best.
