SYNOPSIS

Investigating the destruction of Earth Outposts 2, 3, 4 and 8… the Enterprise encounters a Romulan vessel for the first time in almost a century, since the Earth-Romulan war.

REVIEW

These early eps really showed how good Star Trek was going to become. However, during the cat and mouse game it was like submarine evasion tactics, but that wouldn’t continue into the future… the sensors will always be able to find ships nearby.
