beat sheet
  • The writers channeled the classic novel's tale of vengeance against a whale-like creature to craft the Crystalline Entity, a cosmic force that wiped out entire civilizations on 'Star Trek'
  • The Crystalline Entity's unstoppable power and the crew's desperate attempts to stop it draw direct parallels to Captain Ahab's pursuit of the white whale, making it one of the franchise's darkest and most compelling villains
