The last trademarked series from Star Trek I own is the seventh season of Deep Space Nine. AOL was huge, we had just gotten our first home computer with internet access, the world had never heard of streaming or Youtube. Michael Jordan won his sixth title, Bill Clinton avoided removal after...

Spiderman, anyone? https://cnet2.cbsistatic.com/img/7dvdqrvv_qWFiU-sKvcY-UeRDEE=/1600x900/2017/07/26/1714419d-1547-4c90-adc8-65b54d8a6f33/patrick-new-old-tech-detail-2246-002.jpg [Hotlinked image converted to link. Pics posted as embedded images should be hosted on an image-sharing account...

You are give five slots, five shots at making someone a Star Trek fan, using the movies, only. What scenes would you choose?? You can tell them why. 1. The final twenty minutes of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Spock's death and eulogy. The hand-wringing in front of his son, and his son...

Amazon and Netflix, 4K technology, 3D technology, digital streams, YouTube. The Times wrote a piece talking about the future of the movies. Just kicking around ideas. Fandango does events. What about, the night before a season drops on Netflix or Amazon Prime, you can see the two-hour season...

A man driven crazy by knowing too much. This is a downside of exploring, intelligence (it makes you see patterns others cannot, cannot connect intellectually) can isolate you. Could we build a narrative, over a season, of one of these shows, a species, something, where they are humanoid and...

With Canon potentially a problem for later shows, if we revisit the Klingons or the Federation, I would like season 3 to be a bottle season about the consequences of jumping to the future. Burnham has lost Sarek, her sounding board in times of loss and needing introspection. She lost Tyler...

This is beautiful. Horns are essential in Star Trek. In this case, I have always seen DS9 as a city in space, a colony that reaches for both the heavens and the depths of hell, with its pylons, as the trumpets announce the presence of the city. The strings, in both the opening, and eventually...

1. Burnham in the spacesuit, pursuing the object of unknown origin. She discovers the art and appreciates it. It highlights her character's curiosity, and position, on Discovery while using its theme about the dangers of space exploration. The shots are incredible. 2. Chess--Spock and Burnham...

"He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader, in that moment, the good man who was your father, was destroyed." I want heat plumes and less changing of the sets. This battle goes for long durations without saying a word. But, when they talk, it needs a re-write: "Anakin...

Showing Picard and Rene, on Earth, before Generations. Rene has just been bullied at school; Picard guides him. The scene closes on Rene staring out the window, at the stars. Picard and Data discussing the matter, after Spock's mind meld on Romulus. I want it to be Spock, but c'est la vie...

The first rebel base is on Naboo. Anakin is mourning Padme. Vader wants to squash these emotions. The duality continues, as he returns to the site of their love affair. He gains information about the rebels from a 10-year-old who idolizes the Jedi. This boy's mother is tortured to death, and a...

Oh, I want a re-boot of this show just to build a better story around the light ship. It is very heavy-handed--the structure of the arguments for and against Bajorans and ancient contact! The first 20 minutes contain no conversations, except those of the light ship. The emotions are blunt, the...

Heart of Glory--The first serious episode of TNG involved Worf's backstory, and central question. This is as much for cinematography as for story. Q Who?--A great script with weight to Q and the Borg, Starfleet's reaction to the new. The Measure of a Man--Metaphysics and souls; ethics. Who...

Deep Space Nine was a very enjoyable show, and great Star Trek. The first three seasons build the characters we came to know, and love. Their theme--whether the Bajorans in relation to the Cardassians, The first visitor to station from the Gamma Quadrant, the Dark Bajor of Odo's people, Benny...

The 2016 Presidential Elections had a profound impact on this individual. Often, my reactions in politics are visceral, but the W. Bush and Trump Administrations have crystallized many truths behind my reactions. The short of this message board post is that I am frustrated and searching for...

It's been nearly twenty years since the last entry of TNG on the big screen. It's taken years to see them as great entries in the movie franchise mostly because, like all Americans, I focus on the plot, what the movie says to me, and didn't look at them collectively. Jean-Luc Picard is our...

Hello, a friend and I did a podcast celebrating Star Trek's 50th Anniversary. It contains heavy spoilers for Beyond, so I wanted to put it here. Hope you who listen, will enjoy! http://thefamilyshow.gbj4.us/podcast/media/star_trek_50th_anniversary_extravaganza_special.mp3

Not too long ago, about a month, I had done very little long-term planning. My life was about surviving from day-to-day. and I was miserable. I already started to tell this story in the thread about "My Favorite Things." But, to get back to thinking long-term, I gave myself some assignments...

Star Trek: Nemesis is a nature-versus-nurture argument. Shinzon of Remus is a man of his circumstances. Picard, obsessed with his bloodline throughout the series (Family) and film franchise (namely, Star Trek: Generations), believes he comes from good stock. In this movie, upon learning that...

In sort of losing myself to just working and not doing much else, I realized I needed to start looking at the positive again. So, I gave myself some assignments, the last of which, was this list, and gave me the most smiles. These are a few of my favorite things: 1. Mocha Frappuccino with a...
