While we’ve been somewhat aware of the power and purpose of “Control” over the last few episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, episode 211, “Perpetual Infinity” gave us the clearest picture yet of just how monumental a task it really will be to save sentient life in the galaxy. “Control” is not playing around with this […]
If there’s anything that gives me total joy (Besides watching Emperor Georgiou dominate a situation – more on that later), it’s a good twist within a twist with a little side of twist. Talk about satisfying, that’s exactly what episode 210 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Red Angel,” served up for viewers the other night. Wow, […]
Let me just get this out of the way from the outset, I loved the opening scenes from Star Trek: Discovery’s latest episode (208), “If Memory Serves.” Just using old TOS footage of Pike’s previous visit to Talos IV from back in the day really added a connective thread to the Star Trek realm as […]
It was something of old home week on Star Trek: Discovery this week. We had some fun visitors return to the scene, one gleefully, one tortured, and one just happy to escape. ‘Saints of Imperfection’ was a wonderfully taut and nervy bit of storytelling by our Discovery team, one that opened some interesting doors for […]
Plenty to unpack in episode 204 of Star Trek: Discovery, wasn’t there? But while a dying space entity attempts to communicate with the Discovery, there were a couple other things that really stood out for me in this episode, not the least of which was the entire story arc of The Blob that would devour […]
The door that “Star Trek: Discovery” kicked open is widening a little more with the announcement that a new animated Star Trek offering is on its way. Through the CBS All Access portal will now come “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” a 30-minute adult animated comedy from the mind of Rick and Morty head writer and […]
It was a sunny Friday afternoon in San Diego when we attended the Star Trek: Discovery press conference. San Diego Comic-Con was in full swing by this point. All the costumed attendees made it feel a little like we were on some Federation party planet – Not a bad place to be. We made our […]
With an episode titled “Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad,” it’s reasonable to assume that the mad-hatter himself, Harry Mudd would return to play his part in what ensued. And indeed, that blessing was realized as Rainn Wilson’s reincarnated Mudd character returned to torment Captain Lorca and the crew of the Discovery. I, […]
Well hello there, Harcourt Fenton Mudd, we’ve been waiting for you. Episode 105 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Choose Your Pain,” heralded the arrival of Rainn Wilson’s take on Harry Mudd and he proved to be just as craven and untrustworthy as we might have imagined. And I loved it. Wilson is going to be an […]
After staring each other down for a bit, the heavens erupted in battle as the Klingons and Federation delivered the opening salvo in a war that promises to be a major backdrop to the remainder season 1 of Star Trek: Discovery. Episode 102, “Battle at the Binary Stars,” picked up right where the first episode […]
