It's even worse, of course, because they actually *foreshadowed* the Year of Hell in an earlier episode...one which, naturally hit the reset button at the end and erased itself.<br /><br />And I wouldn't have made a big deal out of the finite resources thing, either, except *they* did, when they were hyping the show. And then it arrives, and, wow, it's nothing but stories about energy beings possessing the crew.J.

I forgave a lot of flaws. The infinite shuttles/photon torpedoes, the lack of meaningful conflict between characters, the lack of lasting consequences to decisions, etc.<br /><br />But the Reset Button thing was something I could absolutely never forgive. It's even worse than "it was all a dream" as a way to end a story, because at least when it's a dream, some character remembers the dream. When time travel is involved, often no one but the poor viewer even remembers what just happened.<br /><br />"Year of Hell" parts I and II made me madder than anything else in all of Star Trek. Not only was there a Reset Button, and not only did it undo an entire two-part episode, but it undid one of the greatest two-parters in Trek history up until that point (a weak field to be sure, but still). If the people in charge had had any balls at all, they would have allowed "Year of Hell" to stand and faced the consequences in future episodes. How cool would that have been?<br /><br />Ugh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
