S3 of Star Trek is often described as the series' weakest, but in my (slow) watch-thru I've found a number of strong S3 episodes. This... isn't one of them. Oh it's not terrible, but it barely makes over the hump to be passable. Like many S3 episodes, the scope is small thanks to reduced budgets, but where the season's better episodes used this to their advantage, focusing on stronger, more personal stories, "Wink of an Eye" is merely unambitious. It's generic sci-fi. Not deep enough to inspire thought nor fun enough to genuinely entertain. It just diverts. That's a virtue, I suppose, but a weak one.
