    Modern Star Trek: New Frontiers, Old Nostalgia

    We are living on the cusp of a new ‘golden age’ of Star Trek, at least when it comes to the profligacy of content from the Viacom/Paramount owned franchise, but the promise by executives of Star Trek on the air all year round comes with both caveats positive and, unfortunately, negative. April 5th is always […] More

    Star Trek: Lower Decks Defies Current Trek with Laughs and Fun

    For many fans, there are two types of Star Trek: Trek Prime, which consists of everything from The Original Series to Enterprise, and Nu-Trek, which consists of the Kelvin timeline (or the J.J. Abrams “JJ-verse” movies) and any new series that’s come out since Trek Prime’s demise (mainly Star Trek Discovery and Star Trek: Picard). […] More

    Star Trek: Picard S1E7 “Nepenthe”

    Welcome back, dear reader, as we continue to review Star Trek: Picard with Season 1 Episode 7, “Nepenthe.” Another superb episode. For the most part, we take a brief respite as things gear up for the action-packed final three episodes (if the previews are to be believed). The reunion with Riker and Troi was both […] More

    Star Trek: Picard S1E6 “The Impossible Box”

    Welcome back, dear reader, as we continue to review Star Trek: Picard with Season 1 Episode 6, “The Impossible Box.” At long last, the journey we set out on at the onset of the show, i.e. “find the sister,” has been accomplished. But no sooner do we have the entire gang together, then they are […] More

    Star Trek: Picard S1E5 “Stardust City Rag”

    Welcome back, dear reader, as we continue to review Star Trek: Picard with Season 1 Episode 5, “Stardust City Rag.” What a fun episode. I don’t care what anybody says about “post-scarcity society,” that was a great hour of Star Trek. I think the timing was perfect to add a little levity. And come on, […] More

    Star Trek: Picard S1E4 “Absolute Candor”

    Welcome back, dear reader, as we continue to review Star Trek: Picard with Season 1 Episode 4, “Absolute Candor.” This was a fun one, and a bit of a stand-alone episode, as it turns out. Leaving the three-part pilot behind us, we’re now in the capable hands of actor-turned-director Jonathan Frakes. I wonder if he’s […] More

    Star Trek: Picard S1E3 “The End Is the Beginning”

    Welcome back, dear reader, as we continue to review Star Trek: Picard with Season 1 Episode 3, “The End Is the Beginning.” At long last, Act 1 is done. If you weren’t already aware, at the U.S. premiere, they showed all three of these first episodes, not just the single pilot episode. So we’re also […] More

    Star Trek: Picard S1E2 “Maps and Legends”

    Welcome back, dear reader, as we continue to review Star Trek: Picard with Season 1 Episode 2, “Maps and Legends.” As explained in several interviews, this episode is really part two of what could be viewed as a three-part pilot. As such, it is still heavy on the exposition and light on the action. There […] More

    Star Trek: Picard S1E1 “Remembrance”

    “Blue skies, smiling at me.” And after that premiere of Star Trek: Picard, I’m smiling right back at them. In case you didn’t binge watch a ton of old episodes and movies to prepare, that song is a nod to the final movie, Star Trek: Nemesis, where Data sang it as his wedding gift to […] More

    Picard: The Past & Future of Star Trek

    Leighton Evans and Paul Billington co-wrote this, but we can only credit one writer. If you like it, credit both in your mind. If not, it’s all Leighton’s doing and feel free to post angry comments at the end. Star Trek: Picard is coming and excitement has been building amongst fans ever since Sir Pat […] More
