  • But Star Trek already did a zombie movie: the Enterprise episode Impulse. And more arguably the Voyager episode Juggernaut.

    I’ll say that I don’t hate any of those three episodes but they’re also not great for me. They tend to hinge on the fact that their own premises or the established logic and technology of Trek don’t hold - a lot of “oh no those zombies are so strong they ripped those people limb from limb! Oh, but we just fended off a dozen of them hand to hand. We should definitely shoot zombies, but our phasers will run out and for some reason we forgot about the wide beam setting!” And yet we know hand phasers can fire long enough to kill thousands [TOS: Omega Glory]. That kind of thing.
