Chrysalis
Before “Chrysalis” there were only three Trek romances which I considered watchable. Those three were “Lessons” (Which is one of my favorite TNG episodes.), “Attatched”, and “Day of Honor”. I guess I can add “Chrysalis” to that list, but when it ended I felt that it wasn’t as good as “Statistical Probabilities”. Although I was thrilled to see the return of Bashir’s genetically engineered friends, I wish that they had received some more screen time. To be honest, I thought that the character of Lauren was rather annoying this time around. She was the only character that I really didn’t grow fond of. I liked the others though. Jack and Patrick had some wonderful scenes, such as “The universe is too heavy for its own good!” speech, as well as Patrick’s constant “That’s a stupid question.” Most of the screen time was devoted to Serena and Bashir. I really don’t know how I feel about Serena. Also, it seems to me that all of the O’Brien/Bashir scenes aren’t nearly as good as they were at this time last year. I was hoping that we would see some Dominion War subplots, but from what I can gather, we will be seeing several war - heavy episodes during the coming weeks. Another note about this episode is that Jay Chattaway composed the music, which was very good by the way. Well, “Chrysalis” didn’t come close to reaching the quality of TNG’s “Lessons” or last year’s “Statistical Probabilities”, but it’s one to watch once or twice. My Rating : 8.75 out of 10.00
