in SeriesModern 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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
