The Benjamin Button episode grows a little old. Strong guest star roles like Karnas the warlord on Mordan IV, Hollywood royalty Marsha Hunt as Anne, and Admiral Mark Jameson as her lying husband who takes two doses (!) of a wonder drug to de-age himself. The episode is ultimately about living with the guilt of repercussions from bold actions taken while young, but the plot doesn't necessarily pay off that premise well. Greg believed the makeup was pretty OK, Jimmie doesn't but loved the voice affection, Kate shouted out the girl talk scene with Anne, Troi and Crusher as notable, and Erik tries to hold it all together as retired pastry chefs do.
