Star Trek: Short Treks – Calypso
“"Calypso" is one of the best Star Trek stories to come around in quite some time, benefitting from its willingness to introduce new characters and scenarios that don’t rely on pre‑existing canon.”

“Ultimately, “Runaway” is nice in that it gives us a quick dip back into the world of Star Trek while we wait for Disco Season 2. But it also makes evident the challenges of these shorts.”
