Mission Briefing:

On a mission, Travis and Captain Archer are captured. They wake up in a Detention Center, along with a ton of Solubons (sp?). They soon discover, however, that these Solubon are not part of the K’Bol (sp?), like the ones they have previously met. These Solubon are innocent people, and the Detention Center is an internment camp! They make friends with a Solubon father.

The humans want to help the Solubons, but it’s going to be dangerous…

Mission Report:

Actually, very good! The story was well-done, and mostly enjoyable. Plus, it had good lessons in prejudice and judging people by how they look or their race. It also is an important reminder of the internment camps, and how we must avoid anything like that ever happening again in the future. It was a good lesson episode.

The only real glitches were in the beginning and the end. The first was the beginning of the episode, where we just jump into the cell with Travis and Archer. I didn’t like feeling confused, and going, “What? Where are we? What happened? What’s going on?” The rest of the episode was good, and mostly enjoyable (though there were some uncomfortable moments and not-so-great enjoyment level moments). The ending, however, left some unanswered questions, and I did not care for that either! Of course, there are some other minor glitches, but I didn’t really notice or could tell you what they were now.

This was a good show, just needs tweaking.
