Romjin is miscast. That was already clear from her mercifully brief appearance on STD, but here her limited acting skills really shine through. She's appropriate in The Librarians, or any B-list series that can't afford real talent, but worse, costume and makeup have really failed her - she's normally much better looking than this horror movie sick look - is she meant to horrify us? I'm guessing yes and Number One turns out to be a serial killer, to be replaced by Spock early on in the spinoff, bc why else assign a singing role to someone who can't carry a tune to save her life? Or at least ask the address to consult on something she could potentially sing, rather than writing in something she can't pull off? It's worse than cringe-worthy, it's matchy match with her nightmare hair, makeup and ill-fitting costume - horror film appropriate only, but not for Star Trek, unless she's getting killed off in the same episode, for being an impostor, and that did not happen. She also is written poorly, but that's the understatement of the century. She states that Anson Mount's Captain is entirely unemotional and austere. Maybe she knows a totally different Captain than we do? Or she doesn't know him at all, bc she's a serial killer impostor, who is 'resembling' Number One to get close to her target? Unfathomable.
