From the Back Cover

En route to the Enterprise in a runabout, Picard (Patrick Stewart), Geordi (LeVar Burton) and Data (Brent Spiner) encounter a temporal disturbance which causes each of them to experience distortions in the passage of time. Eventually they come upon the Enterprise and find it frozen in time, apparently locked in battle with a Romulan Warbird, moments from the brink of destruction. Further investigation reveals that a warp core explosion is occuring on board the Enterprise at an infinitesimal rate that will destroy the ship in a matter of hours. Somehow, Picard and the crew must figure out a way to stop it before it's too late!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great acting, good plot, and a terrific episode in general., February 27, 2001

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 151: Timescape [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I think that Timescape is a wonderful episode due greatly to the fact that it more realist than most episodes. Now of course I like all of the episodes being a trekker and all, but sometimes the science is a bit looney. This episodes only science flaw was the ability to isolate the crew so well, but I guess it had to be done to keep the show interesting. Still, science aside, the acting was the most important part, you really could feel the tension and the surprise of the crew when they found the Enterprise frozen in time, {well slowed way way down at least} and because of that I keep watching it over and over again. The plot is also excellent, with complexities being added in every ten minutes or so, thus keeping you suspence about what is actualy happening. All in all an excellent performance and definantly worth buying.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Enterprise and a Romulan War bird frozen in time, June 25, 2000

By 

John Berkebile (Medford, Or) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 151: Timescape [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a rather intruguing episode about what we consider to be the natural progression of time, and how we sometimes view it as going too fast or too slow. While Picard and company are returning to the Enterprise from a mission, Troi suddenly sees the rest of the crew on the shuttlecraft freeze. Later on, when the crew returns to the Enterprise, they notice that their ship was fired upon by a Romulan Warbird, but it's frozen in time! What will happen to the Enterprise once time is restored to its normal progression?

4.0 out of 5 stars Picard and crew do the time warp again, April 5, 2001

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 151: Timescape [VHS] (VHS Tape)

While returning to the Enterprise in a shuttle, Picard, Data, La Forge and Troi take turns being momentarily frozen in time. They are in an area of space pocketed with temporal distortions. When they get to the Enterprise there is a warp core breach in progress, which has something to do with a nearby Romulan warbird and, in turns out, aliens from another continuum. Picard and his cohorts have to figure out the mystery before every goes "ka-boom." "Timescape" is an average STNG episode, with some interesting variations on temporal distortions, but the series has done much better (e.g., "Cause and Effect," the classic Episode 119).
