But they can also be a bit deceptive.
Will this mark the return of the Department of Temporal Investigations?
Will Spock and Chapel have to make some choices?
And whats the deal with Hemmer showing up, a crew member whose loss theEnterprisestill feels?
Lost in Translation connects to all those storylines, but its not reallyaboutany of them.
But its not that simple, even if only one crew member initially suspects this.
Someone, or something, is sending signals only Uhura can hear.

Hemmer looms over this episode even when hes not showing up as an alien-created vision.
Hes much missed, and Pelia has felt just how missed he is by the way others treat her.
In the process, shes apparently lost the previously established need to sleep in absolute darkness.
He trusts his crew and even says hell take the rap if anyone objects to his decision.
If Jim was hitting on Uhura at first, he abandons that plan pretty quickly.
They end up friends who respect each other, laying the groundwork for the decades of history to come.
