Well, that wasn’t quite the episode I was expecting at this stage of the game for Star Trek: Picard, but it did its job (which was to dispense of our first villain and move the story a step closer to resolving the main conflict of the season – what’s going to happen at Frontier Day). […]
Oh god. Poor Tuvok. For some reason, until that reveal – and the rather graphic description of just what torture Tuvok was being forced to endure – the true danger of the Changeling infiltration hadn’t really hit me. Sure, they might (read: almost certainly will) try to blow up the Fleet at Frontier Day (along […]
Is it bad that Captain Shaw might be my favorite character on Star Trek: Picard this season? Ok, fine, I suppose he isn’t my favorite character, but he’s a symptom of the larger element of what is making the series feel so different this time around: fun. Everyone, from Patrick Stewart on down, is clearly […]
Ok. I’m going to say my piece on the official Jack Crusher paternity reveal upfront in this review and then suspend my disbelief for the remainder of the series. Otherwise, I know it’s going to annoy me throughout the remainder of the season and, really, there are enough interesting mysteries still in place in this […]

This article will contain spoilers for the first season of Star Trek: Lower Decks, so turn back now if you do not want to be spoiled. Yes, I know I’m several months late to the party here, but at least I got in. If you’re all familiar with me, you know I’m a Star Trek […]
When Star Trek: Discovery killed off Phillipa Georgiou early in its first season, I was angry. You have someone as talented as Michelle Yeoh on your show and you kill her off? That was the first sign to me that things weren’t quite right with the series in its initial run. When we were introduced […]
A sentence I never thought I would write: I want to see a Seven of Nine spin-off series ASAP, CBS All Access. Holy hell, was that great hour of television. This is the kind of episode I was expecting when Star Trek: Discovery launched: dark, moralistically murky, but still fun. It’s what I hoped to […]
I was raised on Star Trek. I’ve watched every series (save Enterprise) from beginning to end (yup, even Voyager). While I wouldn’t call myself a Trekkie, I do think I know enough about Trek to be able to decide if a series is worthy of the moniker and the history that has come before it. […]
