I saw it: on video and TV several times, most recently yesterday (have on DVD)
Synopsis: God-like powers. Again.
My reaction
Concept: Nope, did that already. About a dozen times. One of which is so similar to this one I'd call it a re-make.
Story: 45 minutes of silly torture, 3 minutes of nonsense, and 2 minutes of story.
Characters:
Dialog:
Pacing: Corny, horribly written Star Trek is one thing. But boring Star Trek? No excuse.

Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, ). If they insist on doing a crappy knock-off of previous episodes, couldn't they at least copy good episodes? Or maybe just show a re-run and save everyone a lot of trouble.
