  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x10 "New Life and New Civilizations"

    Jump

  • In a season of genre experimentation they couldn't decide whether to end with a Doctor Who episode or a Doctor Strange episode, so why not both?

  • Annotations for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x10: “New Life and New Civilizations”

    Jump

  • As I've written elsewhere: By "time-traveling doctor," Pelia was clearly referring to that time she did drugs with McCoy in the 1930s!

  • Annotations for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x10: “New Life and New Civilizations”

    Jump

  • Thanks for doing these so quickly! These are always one of the first things I seek out to read after watching an episode.

  • Has anyone annotated the Star Trek: Enterprise theme video? e.g. where all the source clips/images came from & so on

    Jump

  • What I always wanted was someone to rearrange all the clips into chronological order. I don’t know why but it bothers me that they skip around.

  • Annotations for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x04: “A Space Adventure Hour”

    Jump
    • The one time I got to see Gene Roddenberry speak, he had brought along a blooper reel, which I think was fairly common to show at Star Trek conventions in the late 1970s, early 1980s?
    • The Greatest Trek podcast mentioned that "TK" in the name TK Bellows is clearly an homage to the publishing term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_come_(publishing)
    • The Greatest Trek also felt that the Uhura assistance to Scotty was a nod to her caregiving of him in Star Trek 5 (bringing him dinner while working, going on shore leave together)

  • Anson Mount’s sideburns were a clear homage to Isaac Asimov.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x01 "Hegemony, Part II" & 3x02 "Wedding Bell Blues"

    Jump

  • Why didn't they just put Batel in the medical transporter's pattern buffer, like M'Benga did with his daughter?

  • Annotations for Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x05: “Starbase 80?!” (SPOILERS)

    Jump

  • I found it humorous that Clem is also a Lower Decker in his society!

  • I just finish to see all TNG movies.

    Jump

  • It is the best of a bad bunch. The TOS movies inspired the TNG movies. The TNG movies inspired a lull in the movies (no call for a DS9 or Voyager or Enterprise movie) that had to be filled with a reboot.

  • Happy Star Trek Day! What was your first contact?

    Jump

  • My dad watched TOS with me when it first aired, but I was too young to remember it. My first recollection is watching it in syndication. I went on to read my dad's many books, especially the Star Trek Concordance and the James Blish adaptations.

  • Thanks, that sent me Googling. "KIM: I'll try extrapolating the verteron exit vector. No, I can't get it. There's a strange phase variance in the radiation stream. We'll have to wait until the probe exits." Episode 6 (another wormhole?!) http://www.chakoteya.net/Voyager/106.htm

  • A "test" to judge Star Trek shows

    Jump

  • I love this! Now you need to do an analysis like this one on Star Trek and the Bechdel-Wallace test!

    I realize you’re not trying to predict quality, just personal enjoyability, but I do wonder how it relates to quality.

    I actually think it might be slightly more predictive of the quality of a show overall than of individual episodes. But both ST:TOS and ST:TNG have many great captain-centric episodes that I’m not sure if it is predictive of episode quality particularly.

  • Searching for the "most representative" Star Trek episode

    Jump

  • Great suggestion! Everyone remembers the Gorn, but the Metrons are fairly representative of the incredibly advanced aliens typical of TOS (like the Organians, Thasians, or Providers).

  • Searching for the "most representative" Star Trek episode

    Jump

  • I think I'd suggest a planet-of-the-week episode. From TOS, "This Side of Paradise" or "A Taste of Armageddon." From TNG, maybe "Who Watches the Watchers" or "Up the Long Ladder."

  • I felt like Freeman included Rutherford because his “gee whiz! lookee there!” naïveté added to her misdirection.

  • "We Didn't Start the Fire" set at the end of different series?

    Jump

  • Egads this is hard! I got two lines in and gave up. Free to anyone who wants to continue:

    Captain Pike, Number One, emotional Spock, Talos IV,

    Alien zoo, laser overload, General Order 7,
