About a century before the events of the original Star
Trek: A Klingon, Klaang (Tommy 'Tiny' Lister), is found in a
field, badly wounded. Now the earthlings have never seen a Klingon before,
but the Vulcans, Earth's only interstellar connection with an emassy on
the planet, have, and they want to send Klaang's corpse back to the
homeworld. But Captain Archer (Scott Bakula) is deadset against it, since
Klaang is still alive and can quite possibly be brought back to good
health. So he suggests to bring Klaang back to the Klingon home planet and
in the process also test the starship Enterprise, the first of its series
that can reach Warp 5. Grudgingly the Vulcans agree, but only on the
condition that Archer accepts one of theirs, T'Pol (Jolene Blalock), as
his second-in-command. So Archer quickly assembles a crew - and it's off
to the Klingon homeworld ... but before you know it, the Klingon is stolen
from right under our heroes' noses by someone or something unknown. The
Enterprise follow the track of the ship they believe to have the Klingon
to a space station where they soon get into a fight with an alien race,
the Suliban, but they also meet Sarin (Melinda Clarke), a Suliban spy who
had passed on vital information to Klaang for him to deliver to his home
planet. Soon our heroes have to leave the space station in a hurry and
under fire, but they find a trail to the Suliban vessel that has abducted
Klaang to Rigel 10, a gas giant where the Suliban have a base beneath its
gas surface. They manage to free Klaang, but somehow Archer is left
behind, and is ultimately only saved because T'Pol takes it upon her to
test the teleporter the first time on a human being just to save him ... The
by then 6th series of the Star
Trek franchise was to serve as a prequel series to all others
to come, and that's a blessing and a curse simultaneously, a blessing
because it can see outer space untainted by epic story arcs and doesn't
have to align with other series' continuities, but a curse because too
much has to be left unbroken, has to reference to later series. As for
the opening two-parter, it's a solid piece of science fiction, with Scott
Bakula making a good captain, but at the same time the rest of the crew,
with the exception of T'Pol, remains colourless, and the story as such
lacks some urgency and is further bogged down by its references to series
set later in the timeline. Now it's not at all bad in the traditional
sense of the word, it moves steadily and features enough action to keep
things interesting, it just lacks any real greatness.
