It didn’t take but a few moments to realize that Paramount+ is upping the Star Trek animation game a notch or two during a panel at Comic-Con@Home 2021. The virtual panel got off and running in a big way with appearances from the cast and crew of Star Trek: Prodigy. While the new offering, which […]
It had been whispered since the first episode of Star Trek: Picard flickered across the screen. Those whispers grew more excited and hopeful as the season progressed and faces from Jean-Luc Picard’s past began showing up in episode after episode. And as we learned that there will be more Next Generations connections coming in season […]
Did that octopus in the aquarium seem to have a familiar voice? Perhaps captained a Firefly class ship somewhere in the ‘verse in a time down the road? Mmm, I got the strangest feeling I’d heard that voice before in something of an authority role. It was just one of a myriad of interesting bobs […]
Two episodes into Debris on NBC and I can sense there’s this understated tension running through the episodes. I don’t find this show dialog heavy, but heavy on uncertainty and a sense of confusion. It’s fun. Agents Finola Jones and Bryan Beneventi continue to step into an alien mess with each episode and I have […]
Hidden behind the falling off of chairs, toothpaste smeared across the face, and a wonderful non-verbal bit about eating a French fry, there was something else lurking under the surface of Episode 102 of ” Resident Alien.” It’s easy to see some of the physical humor that Alan Tudyk delivers and dismiss the show as […]
The Expanse has always been an involved, somewhat dark series, one that probes not only the human condition, but the potential for humans in a much much larger context. It’s a show that hurts you and stretches your emotions as it provides a stark reminder that, even in space, the traits that make us less […]
Well, there were certainly some fun reveals going on in The Mandalorian, Chapter 13, “The Jedi.” Mando’s hop to the forest planet Corvus not only led us on another fun and action-packed adventure, but delivered two things fans have been clamoring for since this all began – the arrival of Ahsoka Tano and the name […]
We return to some familiar ground, and familiar faces, in Chapter 12 of The Mandalorian, an episode entitled, “The Seige.” The Mon Calamari patch job on the Razorcrest simply isn’t cutting it and instead of being able to head to Corvus in pursuit of finding Ahsoka Tano, our hero needs to find a place to […]
I had to feel a little sorry for “Mando” in Chapter 11, “The Heiress,” as he appears to have been taught some things about his people that may not be as accurate as he thinks. The Mandalore code, it would seem, isn’t as cut-and-dried with some elements of the Mandalorians as it is with others. […]
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 […]
