We were talking about what famous people we shared a birthday with. She told me she already knew about Bill Clinton, so I looked up a list and learned for the first time that Gene Roddenberry was born on August 19th....
I have mixed feelings about Disco ending. I really dug the first season’s look at a Federation at war, and following the person who arguably set that war in motion dealing with her culpability. Add to that a ship that is part weird science lab, part haunted house. And yeah, I could live with the Klingon redesign....
I really don’t like Lower Decks. Before you downvote, I would never tell anyone it’s bad or that they shouldn’t like it. I just really can’t figure out why most people seem to like it so much....
Jeffrey Combs better known as Weyoun, Brunt, Shran and many others - how do you say his surname? As in what you use to detangle your hair? Or more like Cooms?...
Whenever there’s a storyline with quark, they talk about money/latinum....
I don’t know whether this is an unpopular opinion or not but I actually think that the way Tasha Yar died gave the show much higher stakes throughout it’s entire run. Here is the chief security officer, main bridge crew, tragic back story, potential love interest for the robot character just slapped down by the monster of...
My friends and I recently challenged each other to list our top five starship classes and were surprised by how different our opinions were despite being generally in agreement with what we like about the various series....
Of course the real-world reason is that it’s cheaper to shake the camera and set off a firecracker than to build a scale model just to paint a burn scar on the side....
Lucas made such a mess of the original Star Wars movies with his changes over the years that I’m sure a lot of people are probably sour in general on the idea of unnecessarily changing anything in a remaster....
Back in late September, WizKids shipped their Disco themed board game based on the four mirror universe episodes of season one, striking while the iron is room temperature. I, of course, purchased this game as soon as it was available to me, and yesterday evening I got the opportunity to play it for the first time when I brought...
In regards to Dr M’Benga killing the diplomat?...
I’ve been watching the various Star Trek shows for a while now, and while not finished I saw most of them, I believe. And I cannot shake off the feeling that the messages given by these shows, especially (and almost exclusively) recent ones are pushing horrible morals that most people seem to not care about....
Does anyone know when the new season starts?
It almost feels unnecessary to rave about “The City on the Edge of Forever” (S1E28) again, since it has been praised as one of the all-time best episodes of Star Trek for like 50+ years now, but I just rewatched it and want to specifically talk about how much I love the character Edith Keeler....
• When we see Starfleet Academy in the open shot of the episode it is a recreation of the closing shot of “The First Duty”....
For me it is the dinner-scene in “the undiscovered country”....
LoglineTop Secret, again. Edit: well, this was certainly worth waiting for: Mariner faces her past in the season four finale....
• The episode title, “The Inner Fight” calls back to two previous titles, TNG’s “The Inner Light” and VOY’s “The Fight”....
LoglineWho knows? They never released one. Edit: They finally released one - how novel to release the actual episode first! Captain Freeman assigns the Lower Deckers an overly safe mission to try and keep a self-destructive Mariner out of danger....
The narrator for the “Previously on…” segment sounds like Jonathan Frakes....
The title is a play on the TNG episode “The Inner Light”, where Picard is hit by a beam from a Kataan probe that makes him live out a lifetime of memories in the space of less than an hour. A similar probe last appeared in LD: “In the Cradle of Vexilon”....
