Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When a massive alien vessel engulfs Enterprise, bodiless beings invade/possess the bodies of Trip and other crew members and hijack their souls. These bodiless beings claim to be explorers. But these “wisps” may not plan on giving the bodies back.
Our Take
A creepy possession hour that borrows heavily from better Trek episodes, but it moves along briskly and racks up enough unease to keep you watching. Connor Trinneer gets to play several different characters trapped in Trip’s body and clearly has fun with it. The ending resolves things a bit too easily, though the wisp takeover still lands as genuinely unsettling.
