    Strange New Worlds Intro

    Beautiful sequence, up there with Voyager and Prodigy as the best Trek opening visuals imo. Russo’s theme is nothing special.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x03 - "Assimilation"

    Solid 8 after last week, which felt like it was just an excuse to give the cast a Mirror Universe episode. As others have said, beyond her general affinity for him, there’s been nothing to establish why Raffi was as broken as she was over Elnor’s death. Perhaps there will be something later in...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x02 - "Penance"

    Very enjoyable. Assuming they wrap up the cliffhanger in the opening minutes of next week’s episode rather than dragging it out for 50 minutes and ending the episode with the slingshot effect, that means we’ll already hit the main season arc after just two and a bit episodes, much better than...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x01 - "The Star Gazer"

    I was expecting to see this on Prime first thing this morning but it didn’t go up until later, so I’ve ended up seeing the episode twice today. First and second impressions, really good. Great to see a more traditional Starfleet and a more diverse fleet of ships (my headcanon has decided...

    Spoilers Survivors of the Flux grade and discussion thread

    I really expected the pacing to have picked up this late in the series, but instead we get another episode of meanderings and set-ups that I really can't imagine will pay off. I did enjoy Yaz, Dan and Jericho's storyline (apparently they chartered the same ship with the same cabin the whole...

    S13E04 "Village of the Angels" BBC1 6.20-7.15pm 21st November

    I didn't pay attention to this "new" rating system so my 8 = excellent with minor quibbles. Is it hyberbole to say that's the best cliffhanger since The Stolen Earth? There always seems to be frothing anger when anybody except Moffat writes Weeping Angels but Chibnall and Maxine Alderton...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x01/02 - "Lost and Found"

    Oh maybe. I've not paid attention to the normal episode running times but let's just call it the hook for the next episode

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x01/02 - "Lost and Found"

    Very difficult to rate this since it's the first of a two-parter but on the whole it was charming. Of the two animated series announced a couple of years ago, I was looking forward to Prodigy more than LD as the premise seemed more Trek-like (not that I haven't loved LD). As far as first...

    Captain Kirk heading to space.. for real!

    Didn't see it live but watched it on YouTube earlier. Can only echo what others have said - a 90-year-old man casually walking around like he's 30 years younger! Wow!

    2021 books announced

    Really glad to see some new authors being added to the rotation and a return to TNG stories set during the series.

    René Auberjonois has died

    RIP René. I’ve been rewatching DS9 for the last couple of months and only finished watching his great performance alongside Nana Visitor in “Shadows and Symbols” about half an hour before a friend messaged me the news. It takes a great actor to be able to visibly act through a thick layer of...

    News Channel 4 buy UK Broadcast rights to DSC

    Except ENT was also broadcast on free-to-air TV by Channel 4. They were the ones that bounced it round the schedule, beginning with a 6pm weekday showing (on Thursdays I think), trying to replicate the success BBC2 had with weekday evening TOS/TNG/DS9, eventually settling on playing out seasons...

    A better Kirk Nexus fantasy?

    This is how I've always interpreted it. The first fantasy is basically the Nexus tutorial, and is generated based on whatever is playing on the person's mind at the time they enter it (Kirk misses command, Picard thinks he's lost the opportunity to have a family). As part of the narrative of...

    Beloved episodes you hate/Reviled episodes you love

    "The Royale". Worf talking to room service, Picard's phobia of revolving doors, Data gambling. So much to love. I guess the episode is disliked because it's part of season two, got rewritten by Hurley, and isn't particularly Star Trek-y, but I think it's a lot of fun.

    Stupid Stuff in TNG

    Data's ridiculous verbosity ("pursuing an untamed ornithoid without cause"). Most of "Lonely Among Us" but mainly Riker telling the ambassador that humans don't "enslave animals for food" and the ambassador declaring replicators to be "barbaric", probably just to make him seem weird and alien...

    If You Could Rewrite ENT?

    If they'd followed Braga's original idea to spend the whole of the first year on Earth preparing for the launch of the ship I doubt the show would have made it past season one. They could have incorporated all the pre-launch stories by producing more flashback episodes like "First Flight" and...

    Bashir's creepy patient fetish

    He was also often quite happy to discuss patients' private medical issues in the middle of Quark's.

    Favorite technobabble scenes in TNG?

    He seemed to be having the same trouble in Generations.

    Cinemasins: Everything wrong with Star Trek Beyond

    Amusing, and surprising how many sins he took off.
