After an excellent season opener last week, I was a little nervous about the rest of the third season of Star Trek: Discovery. But watching the second episode, I think I can start to relax – just a little bit – and enjoy the ride. Not literally – who would have wanted to go through […]
The eternal argument about what’s ‘Trek’ and what isn’t ‘Trek’ seems superfluous to me on many levels as the continued quest to get inside the mind of Gene Roddenberry makes no sense. As with all forms of creativity, the root will sprout many branches and they will all be different even as they bare similar […]
Coming on the heels of multiple panels at this past weekend’s ComicCon@Home virtual event, the Star Trek realm delivered a fun bit of news to top it all off – the release date of Star Trek: Disovery’s third season. The new adventures of the crew of the Discovery, and the personal journey of Michael Burnham, […]
Man, there’s just something kind of magical seeing old faces re-emerge in new shows. Yes, they are playing the same characters we remember from ‘back in the day,’ but they are older, wiser, more grounded and like so many characters in Star Trek: Picard, carrying pain and sorrow with them. And so it was in […]
As Star Trek: Picard has ramped up, I’ve been very interested to see what would happen when Jean-Luc Picard made his inevitable way to the ‘artifact’ – the reclaimed Borg cube. In episode 106, titled “The Impossible Box,” that moment, at last, has arrived – and I enjoyed how it played out. Yes, yes, the […]
Four episodes into Star Trek: Picard, it has become very clear to me that when Jean-Luc Picard resigned from Star Fleet 14 years earlier, he not only walked away from his career in a move he thought honorable and right, he walked away from a large chunk of his life as well. I harken back […]
I couldn’t help but wonder as I watched episode 3 of Star Trek: Picard, “The End is the Beginning,” just how many bridges Jean-Luc Picard had burned during his time in, and with his resignation from, Star Fleet. Oh, I’m sure it’s not that extensive, but it seems as we’ve moved through the first three […]
“Sitting here, all these years, nursing my offended dignity. I haven’t been living, I’ve been waiting to die.” In that short span of words, we get an accurate read on what has become of Jean-Luc Picard since his retirement from Star Fleet. It’s a sad, tired, somewhat embittered Picard we meet early on in episode […]
If there was one lasting impression from this past weekend’s New York Comic Con, it’s that the Star Trek franchise is still plenty strong and still delivers plenty of excitement to a passionate fan base. This year, NYCC pulled off a Trek double, delivering not only a trailer for the new Picard series, but doubling […]
Talk about a non-stop visual treat. Star Trek: Discovery’s season finale – part 2 of “Such Sweet Sorrow” offered so much to enjoy that I watched it again, then again. Three times I hit the play button for a show that has delivered an entertaining ride where very few have gone before. And on the […]
