All things Star Trek
S3E8 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Sanctuary,” has a little bit of great content for everyone who cares about the series. The main plot centers around Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Cleveland “Book” Booker (David Ajala) traveling to Book’s home planet of Kweijan in an attempt to help out his “brother”. But we also spend a […] More
“Unification III,” S3E7 of Star Trek: Discovery, is focused on the interior dilemma that has grown up within Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) due to her year spent in the future before the Discovery reappeared. It is also quite possibly the most interconnected episode of Discovery that we have yet seen. Not only are there extensive […] More
Star Trek: Discovery S3E6 “Scavengers” continues the themes of connection and found family that have been at the heart of the season so far. Unfortunately, “Scavengers” has some serious issues that don’t allow it to live up to the best episodes of Season 3. There was a lot of setup which hopefully will pay off […] More
“Die Trying,” S3E5 of Star Trek: Discovery, brings the crew back to Starfleet, which is not exactly excited to welcome the ancient ship into their ranks. The storylines about the crew feeling out of place and suffering post traumatic stress due to traveling to the 32nd century continue to play out. And the episode continues […] More
“Let’s go to Trill!” Star Trek: Discovery S3E4, “Forget Me Not” is an absolute marvel of emotional revelation and series spanning continuity. These are my favorite types of Star Trek episodes: all world building, culture, and emotional connection. Add in the fact that the main plot focuses on an emotionally fraught dinner and a single […] More
Star Trek: Discovery S3E3, “People of Earth” brought the Discovery crew back together and sent them all to the now much less idealistic Earth of the 32nd century. The episode had a lot of ground to cover as it had to reintegrate Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) into the crew now that they are finally reunited, answer […] More
S3E2 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Far From Home” concludes the two part opening to the new season by letting us know the fate of the Discovery and finally getting the team back together. Like the season premiere, “That Hope Is You, Part 1,” S3E2 has to cover a lot of ground really quickly and, unlike the […] More
Star Trek: Discovery returns with S3E1 “That Hope Is You, Part 1” a rollicking roller coaster of an episode that jumps off exactly where Season 2 ended, with Commander Michael Burnham and the USS Discovery hurtling through time to nearly 1000 years in their future. Over the course of this premiere episode there are shipwrecks, […] More
The best part about watching Star Trek, in most of its iterations, is that you get multi-dimensional storytelling: you get the moments that appeal to your inner nerd, sure, but you also get heady discussions on the purpose of being. Most times, Trek will act as a metaphor for the human condition, showing avatars of […] More
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
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
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
