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, […]
Before I get fully involved in looking back at Star Trek: Discovery’s episode 207 (“Lights and Shadows”), I must pause a moment to reflect on my utter delight at watching Michael Burnham and Philippa Georgiou “stage” a fight that allowed each to vent a little physical anger at the other. I don’t know how much […]
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 freaks are more fun.” And with that, my adoration for Emperor Philippa Georgiou returned intact and with total joy. In fact, episode 203 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Point of Light,” delivered unto my waiting fandom arms two of my favorite characters from season 1 — Georgiou and Ash Tyler (replete with beard and man-bun).

There is a lot you could say about episode 202 of “Star Trek: Discovery,” but in watching, then re-watching the episode, I was struck not so much at the minutiae that is often the source of reviewer revelry and discussion, but by the wonderful old-school Trek feel of this episode, “New Eden.” And while this […]
You know how I knew Emperor Georgiou was going to be a key component in the Federation’s flagging war against the Klingons? When she stepped off the transporter pad and addressed Saru in a contemptuously delicious way by telling him to get on his knees before her and said to Burnham, “Yesterday we dined on […]
Everything the crew of the Discovery used to be has been renovated and recalculated as they continue to search for a way out of this alternative, ultra-violent and suspicious universe. It’s not an easy feat to change your stripes, and like the tiger making that attempt, there are costs along the way — both physical […]
Welcome back Star Trek: Discovery. And boy, did you toss some sweet storylines our way as you opened up the second chapter of season 1. The latest episode delivered unto us, the rabid fans, an alternate universe, a little more clarity on what’s up with Ash Tyler, Tilly fulfilling her dream of taking the captain’s […]
Have we gotten to the place where we need to be more than a little worried about mental state of Captain Lorca? Let’s face it, if Star Trek: Discovery has given us anything, it has given us another captain that’s more than a bit mysterious, just a little too closed off, and rife with intuition […]
