Unlike the main series, this little story is actually good. It has heart, is cleverly built and well acted. But what's even more important for me is that it feels like real science fiction because it almost casually deals with topics like loneliness, longing and being human. In my eyes that makes this short film a far better star trek product than the ridiculously confused war series it's supposed to promote. I wish the second season were the same: less loud, less superficial, quieter, more thoughtful and smarter.
