Where to start, where to start? So much that I liked about the season finale of season 2 of Star Trek: Picard that I had to rewatch it several times to kind of get my bearings about who and what seemed to leap out at me. Was it the Jurati full circle, the well-hidden fan […]
It’s clear to me that Dr. Agnes Jurati is the MVP of season two of Star Trek: Picard. The good doctor, racked by self-doubt and loneliness, somehow stumbled into a relationship with the Borg Queen, who it must be noted shared many of those same feelings, and completely changed the dynamic of the Borg-Human relationship. […]
I’m not sure what’s going to happen in the last episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, but by episode eight of the second season, the mission to go back in time to repair the timeline to its proper place would seem to be completely out the proverbial window at this point. There are storylines going on […]
Wow, things seemed to be going off the rails quite nicely in episode 206 of Star Trek: Picard. Titled “Two for One,” we see Dr. Jurati lose her inner battle with the Borg Queen while Jean-Luc Picard suffers injury and mental paralysis after a nasty incident with a car. And while the gang successfully foiled […]
While the rest of Picard’s salty crew is trying to unravel the puzzle of the Watcher and the incident that leads to the timeline shift, I was so very curious to see Dr. Agnes Jurati and the Borg Queen continue their strange little mental battle. I have found the give-and-take of their relationship wonderfully interesting […]
With his crew spread out all over Los Angeles, Jean-Luc Picard is somehow able to cut through the clutter and find “The Watcher,” who ostensibly is the key to helping repair the timeline and returning the Federation back to its rightful place, and kick the Confederation to the curb. Fortunately, or perhaps surprisingly, after plenty […]
There’s always been a healthy dose of social examination within the Star Trek realm, sometimes subtle, sometimes overt and on-point. In episode 203 of Star Trek: Picard, titled “Assimilation,” our erstwhile heroes slingshot around the sun and land in 2024 Los Angeles. It’s a time that may be two years hence for you and I, […]
Clearly, when an alternate reality includes a brutal, totalitarian regime that puts down dissent and rebellion with malevolent, violent glee, the phrase “Eradication Day” has more than a hint of darkness attached to it. In episode 2 of season 2 of Star Trek: Picard, Jean-Luc and his crew wake up in a Q-instituted nightmare, assuming […]
Has it really been two years since Admiral Jean-Luc Picard and a host of allies, both old and new, redefined synthetic life within Star Fleet and, of course, saved the galaxy in the process? The answer to that is…affirmative. After two years, Star Trek: Picard is back and takes up after what appears to be […]
It’s hard not to get a feeling of wonder throughout the run time of Dune, as director Denis Villeneuve clearly thought that no matter what, the cinematography needs to be spectacular. Consider Villeneuve’s goal achieved as this new offering of Frank Herbert’s colossal written work is often visually spectacular while it tries to tell a […]
