YMMV / Star Trek: Resurgence

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Galvan was a Hotari miner who finds a device from the ancient Tkon Empire in the mines and becomes possessed by the leader of the Scions of the Flame, an extremist group who put their minds into crystals, hoping to outlive their empire. With his body completely taken over by the Scion leader, Galvan uses a process called bioforming to transfer the minds of the Scions into several victims, including Hortai, Alydians, and Starfleet officers. This process makes the victims prisoners in their bodies, with their minds trapped as the new Scion minds take over. Galvan goes to an ancient Tkon weapons depot and obtains billions of Tkon crystals and a warship called the Aphelion. The Aphelion has a bioforming ray that can bioform ships and even planets in seconds. Galvan plans to bioform the Alydians and Hotari first and then move on to the Federation itself. After the USS Resolution and a Federation Fleet cripple the Aphelion, Galvan decides to press his attack, wanting to sacrifice his men and himself to try to destroy the Resolute.
  • He Really Can Act: One of the big praises towards the game is Piotr Michael's take on Spock, a dead ringer for the late Leonard Nimoy.
  • Improved Second Attempt: The TNG episode,The Last Outpost, was meant to introduce a formidable new threat to oppose the Federation with the Ferengi, but due to how absurd many found their design and how heavyhanded their characterisation as rampant capitalists was, this didn't work out. Resurgence instead uses the Scions of the Flame, a fanatical sect of the Tkon, also introduced in the same episode, as a long dead but powerful precursor civilization, who seek to restore their empire. With their technological superiority, and insidious method of conversion, the Scions succeed where the the Furengi failed, in being a serious threat.
  • Les Yay: Tylas and Jara have several flirty glances as well as close scenes together that could easily be read as romantic.
