This week on Hit or Miss Star Trek, Michael Wilson is joined once again by newly recurring First Officer Justin Avery Smith, alongside special first-time guest Jason Roy Gaston, to review both Crisis Point and Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus in one feature-length discussion. Together we explore two of the series' most ambitious episodes, packed with affectionate tributes to decades of Star Trek films, spectacular cinematic parody, surprisingly heartfelt character development, and enough meta humour to keep even the most eagle-eyed fans busy. Along the way we discuss Mariner and Boimler's emotional journeys, Lower Decks' unique approach to storytelling, George Takei's welcome return as Sulu, and whether these holodeck adventures succeed as both comedy and genuine Star Trek. As always, there's Behind the Scenes trivia, Poetry Corner, favourite moments and quotes, plenty of laughs, and our final Hit or Miss scores to determine whether these cinematic love letters truly deserve their place among the franchise's finest holodeck stories. All this plus a full interview with Jason about his Trek history and favourites. Naturally there is also a (slightly truncated) Hit or Miss section taking in two different instances of holographic relocation and two divisive starships. So get the popcorn ready, watch out for flying credits and avoid any bitey horseys as you dive into this holographic review double-bill.
