1.0 out of 5 stars BRIGADOON! In space! Just throw 'em in the brig!, September 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 54: Meridian [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Horrible, horrible, and horrible. A cheap rip-off of an arguably bad musical, the cast stretches absolutely no acting muscles in the dull tale of a mythical planet that appears every X-many years for absolutely no reason. The romantic subplot is EXTREMELY difficult to accept, especially given that it surrounds the station's science officer! Avoid at all costs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Getting soapy in space again, January 3, 2002

Mikael Kuoppala (Helsinki, Finland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 54: Meridian [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Episode title: Meridian

Teleplay by: Mark Gehred O'Connell

Story by: Hilary Bader & Evan Carlos Somers

Directed by: Jonathan Frakes

"Meridian" is one of those low-budget-romantic-TV-movie-turned-into-star-trek kind of episodes. We have a plot about a planet that shifts between dimencions, being 60 years at a time in a foreign dimencion and a couple of days in our own.

The crew of the Defiant just happen to stumble upon it just as it makes it's once-in-sixty-years shift to our universe, and Jazia Dax just happens to fall suddenly in lovewith one of the natives.

We also get a sub plot concerning a rich businesmann visiting DS9 and ending up lusting after Major Kira and ordering a sex programme from Quark featuring our good Major.

Even Jonathan Frakes's competent directing or Terry Farrel's talented performance can't do much for this episode, wich is all about a weak plot combined with old fascioned storytelling.

2.0 out of 5 stars Now that was just terrible!, September 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 54: Meridian [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This episode was a complete flounder. The plot was horrid as was the writing. The dialog made me sick, litarally. This was by far the worst Dax episode. (Except for Rejoined, maybe)
