Just finished watching the first season of Star Trek: Picard. I went into this one hopeful but apprehensive. If they screwed up Jean-Luc Picard there would be hell to pay. He’s one of my childhood heroes/role models. Spoiler-free review I’d say they stuck to the character fairly well. This is Read more…
I came across this idea a few years back about TNG being a more serialized show. The premise of that discussion was that Riker, since he had been promoted to captain in “Best of Both Worlds”, should have remained as CO of the Enterprise and Picard should have been promoted Read more…

You know on Star Trek, particularly TNG, everything could be controlled via voice commands? And everything was run through one central computer? You could walk into a room and turn the lights on or change the temperature or ask for a particular type of music to be played. I was Read more…
I got my Romulan character up to level 50 in the new STO expansion. Leveling goes pretty quickly in that game, as I haven’t completely finished the Romulan story arc yet, and that’s only “designed” to get you to about level 40. I have some bonus XP as a veteran Read more…
With the release of Star Trek: Into Darkness and Legacy of Romulus expansion in STO, this is becoming Star Trek week here. I thought I’d embrace that and take a look at my ranking of the twelve movies. I’m going to rate each of them on three twelve point scales. Read more…
