Star Trek: “World Enough and Time”
18 April 2025
Episode 5.12 – Star Trek: “World Enough and Time”
Can some fan-fiction teach us more about carpe diem than a classic Roman poet?
Let’s get over ourselves a bit and give this fan-produced Star Trek episode a chance. How we decide literary quality, how we work with allusion, and how we interpret contemporary texts are all fair game in this episode that finds some surprising depth in the screenwriting in a science fiction literary niche.
