Sublime Star Trek episodes: “Yesterday’s Enterprise” and “The Offspring”

June 2, 2009

Yesterday on sci-fi’s TNG block I caught the ending of Yesterday’s Enterprise, which was then followed by The Offspring. These are two of the best TNG episodes ever. It struck me that TNG as a series remains unmatched even by DS9 in terms of how many truly great episodes there were that really explored the [...]

new trek for Star Trek: a contrarian view

May 11, 2009

I’ve been cautiously optimistic about the new Trek reboot movie until now, but the final product let me with a bit of a “meh” response. Don’t get me wrong – I didn’t dislike the film, nor do I think they have ruined Trek or or committed any blasphemies. In a lot of ways I agree [...]

How exactly is having weapons at maximum going to help the situation?

February 28, 2009

This is from Stargate: SG-1‘s 200th gala episode, which was.. different. I’m starting to realize that SG-1 is one of the hidden gems of science fiction television. I will probably have to netflix the whole thing at some point. Ten seasons… yikes. Bigger than Ranma! Also, I probably need to get started on Farscape too, [...]

Star Trek Barbies

January 21, 2009

I am almost speechless. So, when does the Seven of Nine barbie come out? Just asking. (actually, Wil Wheaton should be all over this… and what about Ensign Lefler?) UPDATE – close-ups.

May 2009 – Trek reboots

November 16, 2008

I can’t help myself. I don’t want to repeat my anticipation/disappointment cycle of Episode I but this is hitting all the right buttons for me. And, the bad guys are Romulans. They are so much more interesting than Klingons… but speaking of Klingons, they also are rumored to be done right – without foreheads. As [...]

Star Trek X: the first frontier

October 21, 2008

If you are looking for a comprehensive collection of spoilers about the upcoming Star Trek prequel/reboot film, then this is the place. I am actually pretty interested in this film; I’m a pretty dedicated Trek fan but I have been so disenchanted with the direction the franchise has gone that I didn’t even bother to [...]

BSG season 4 tidbit: Romo Lampkin returns!

March 18, 2008

This interview with Ron Moore has lots of little morsels to chew on, but by far the best is the news that wily lawyer Romo Lampkin returns twice in season 4. He’ll always be The Badger to me, though. The bad news is that there is no word on when the second half of the [...]

nameless movie game

January 5, 2008

I don’t even know what to call this other than “Aziz’s brain works in odd ways” but it occurred to me that there are movies which reunite actors from totally unrelated films. For example, we know Christopher Reeve was the iconic Superman, and Michael Keaton was the original big screen Batman. So with all the [...]

Save the Kobayashi Maru

December 30, 2007

It seems that a famous Starfleet exam will be making an appearance in the new Star Trek film. As will a famous episode of cheating on said exam. This news is doubtless going to annoy the heck out of Saavik in about 40 years. The real Saavik I mean, not that Kirstie Allie knockoff. UPDATE: [...]
