“Realm of Fear” is not remembered as fondly as it might. It does not live up to its intention of serving as a frightening experience of creatures attacking crew as they are beamed over distances. Instead, the emphasis was more on Barclay and his constant battle with multiple phobias. It does not bother me, however. I am more fond of Barclay than most, perhaps out of nostalgia for Dwight...
The second part of “Time’s Arrow” marks the beginning of TNG’s finest season. At the risk of sounding cruel, I think much of its virtue has to do with the lack of Gene Roddenberry’s influence. Many of the season’s plotlines vary widely from Roddenberry’s utopian idealism into the shadier aspects of morality. Picard and Troi take part in some subversive cloak...

Here I am, late as usual, writing about a movie all of you saw months ago in the theaters. But what the heck. That never shut me up before. Like it was yesterday, I remember sitting down to watch the premiere of STAR TREK in 1967. (If it wasn’t 1967, don’t blame me. I don’t fact-check these things, you know.) I was a big science-fiction fan and was really looking forward to it, and...

We have reached the season finale of what has been enormous highs and craterous lows, but more of the former than latter. After two season finales of epic battles, the powers that be wisely chose to make a more personal finale. They also decided at the last minute to use a cliffhanger because fan buzz about the upcoming DS9 was fueling rumors TNG was ending. The story was then expanded in order to...

Oprah's announcement that her show may end its 25-season run in 2011 was almost enough to unseat "New Moon" as the top trending topic of the Twitter-Wood feed today. Kevin Nealon and Wil Wheaton both had a opinions on her possible bow out of syndication, while Eli Roth and Kevin Smith helped keep "Twilight" alive [...]
Originally posted June 3, 2009 Should I see it? Yes. Short Review: Anything that can possibility offend Trekkies and get them hyperventilating through their retainers is okay by me. A production like this isn't new. Yet another Corporation continuing to recycle pop cultural baubles of previous generations, repackage it, and then sell it to quite possibly the dumbest generation to draw breath. This...
My roommate is on a big Star Trek kick, re-watching the entire original series. I forgot how amazing and progressive and ahead-of-its-time it was. Actually, Star Trek: the Next Generation is also just as good. Hopefully Luke Butler will paint images from that series next or superimpose Captain Picard’s head on a nude body of [...]
“The Inner Light” does not need much introduction, does it? It is the most personal episode since TOS’ “The City on the Edge of Forever.” not surprisingly, those are two of only four trek episodes to win Hugo awards for Best Dramatic Presentation. It is such a uniquely fascinating, poignant episode. The Enterprise encounters a probe which takes over Picard’s mind....

Moore, the producer of Carnivale and writer for Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, boldly re-imagined the original 1978 space opera of humans versus the robotic Cylons.
