Lower Decks Episode 2 introduces us to the Cerritos' new Security Chief. In a great call back to TNG we get our first Tamarian Starfleet officer. Kayshon is an entertaining addition to the crew even if he spent most of the show as puppet. Although the main plot involving Mariner on a Collectors vessel contained... Continue Reading →

Lower Decks is back and hopefully this is the start of 6 months of new Star Trek with hopefully Picard and Discovery to follow. I found Season 1 somewhat mediocre but was surprisingly excited about this week’s premiere. Perhaps it was because it was shown only 1 day later than the US in the UK... Continue Reading →

The Dark Veil is a difficult book to place. Star Trek novelisations have never been fully integrated with one another but the in the last several years following the end of Enterprise and ‘New Trek’ a fairly well-established canon became established using a range of competent authors. The books for the ‘New Trek’ have not... Continue Reading →

So, series 3 has finally reached its conclusion and as a whole I can say it was fairly satisfying. Now that seems damning with faint praise but bear with me. The ‘You are that Hope Part 2’ admirably tidied up the core plot points of the series and gives us a new captain for Discovery.... Continue Reading →

This penultimate of Discovery was one of the best of the season. One might assume that it was down to the Die Hard Style Burnham commando raid on the Discovery but no, the best parts came from two simple two headers. Through out the episode we saw Admiral Vance debate with Oyraa this interplay could... Continue Reading →

It took quite a while for the Lower Decks to reach our screens in the UK, was it worth the wait? I was not overly enamoured with the idea of a cartoon Star Trek series along the lines of Rick and Morty. I wasn’t sure the comedy would land or whether I could stand the... Continue Reading →

Su'Kal was one of those odd Star Trek episodes that I wanted to like but found myself underwhelmed. Its theme of an abandoned Kelpien raised by an AI computer on a holodeck is very much a mash up of the core of the Original Series and The Next Generation, however in the long run the...

Terra Firma parts 1 and 2 were an interesting diversion in the overall flow of Season 3 of Discovery. The episode was not as expected so close to the end of the season and with so much mystery still surrounding the Burn. Whilst its placing was odd this pair of episodes were an excellent slice...

This week was a fairly non-descript run of the mill episode. I would say its neither good nor bad. Tilly proves her worth as XO and Saru continues to do well as Captain. The Stametts, Adira, Colber dynamic is lovely and they almost seem to be forming a pseudo family. The actual main plot of... Continue Reading →

This latest episode of Discovery rounds up a two-part episode first aired in Season 5 of The Next Generation form 1991. It followed Spock’s attempt to reunify the Romulans and Vulcans. It was a seminal episode even back then and following the loss of Romulus in Star Trek (JJ Film) it was always somewhat in... Continue Reading →
