"FlashBack": A homage not exactly to TOS but to TOC (the original cast) since it was a part of the latest movie with them in charge. Of course, things went differently in the movie than in this episode. Valtane never died. And Kirk and McCoy weren't detained two days after the explosion of Praxis but more than two months but that latter misremembering could be attributed to Tuvok diseased mind. The virus passing as a repressed memory is just stupid. Our immune system doesn't care about memories, repressed or not, it attacks things that are alien to our bodies, sometimes even things that are meant to help us, but I digress. It was still fun to watch but not as much as DS9's homage.
"The Chute": Ok but for one detail when you're hungry it doesn't help to think about food!!! Quite the contrary. That part was just idiotic.
"The Swarm": An episode that is saved from mediocrity by Picardo's performance, as often.
"False Profit": Stupid. Almost infantile in its simplisticness. Not particularly entertaining. Just one question: How can a couple of idiots like that plunder an entire planet at a bronze-age level of development? To collect taxes over a significant portion of a planet, you need communication devices, transportation devices and an army and a powerful one. These bozos could at most ransom a couple of villages assuming they weren't too far from, one another.
