Dune is considered one of the greatest sci-fi novels ever published. Seeing that the second part of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is about to be released it is a good time to revisit David Lynch’s version of Dune and Arrow Video’s re-release. In the distant future, the known universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor and a feudal system of government functions. […]
In the end, the season arc for Picard was not up to snuff. The resolution felt rushed. (How are they replacing all the dead older Starfleet members? Did the transporter Borg tech impact anyone who used them on a ship and returned planet-side? Is there still a command structure in Starfleet? Did the young Borg […]
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 […]
If there’s one clear theme in this final season of Picard, outside of the delivery of fan service by the truckload – done in such a way that it neither feels like it’s pandering nor like it’s simply checking a box, no small feat indeed – it’s family, both in the Fast and the Furious […]
If I had to pick a favorite Star Trek: The Next Generation character, it would have to be Q. Even after the debacle of last season of Picard, he has a special place in my TV-loving heart. But if I had to pick a second character? Hands down Ro Laren. I remember watching her appearance […]
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 […]
Well, there it is. Jack Crusher appears to be Picard’s son. Even though there’s no way in hell that man is under 30 years old and the timeline doesn’t line up at all. Which is why I’m still holding out hope that there’s some other explanation coming (perhaps another clone of Picard, who Beverly discovered […]
I think it’s safe to say that Picard has had a shaky run thus far. The main culprit has been uneven storytelling and character development, taking a universally beloved character in Jean-Luc Picard and saddling him with a story that doesn’t work alongside new characters who don’t pop the way his former crew members of […]
And with that, we bid farewell to Star Trek: Picard season two (while we wait on pins and needles for the highly promoted Next Generation reunion to come in season three – although Jeri Ryan has gone on record saying that she will be making at least an appearance in the final season of the […]
This was the first episode of this season of Picard that felt wholly of what fans are terming “Old Trek*” – you know, classic Next Generation or Voyager where the good guys manage to fight against seemingly insurmountable odds while battling inner demons to reach a key moral by the close of the episode. And, […]
