Star Trek

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) Boxset spotlights my review of the Star Trek: the Next Generation episode "The Game." The Camp of the Saints links to the shift away from embryonic stem cell research to adult stem cells. The Third Edge of the Sword links to my review of Star Trek: the Original Series episode The Man Trap."

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) “Violations’ was borne out of the story outline for “Night Terrors,’ one of the worst Tng episodes ever. Like ’Night Terrors,” the story center around my least favorite character, Troi, so the episode does not have much going for it.

By Michelle A beautiful, empathic woman sent as a peace offering to an alien leader begins to bond with Picard instead of her intended mate. Plot Summary: The Enterprise has been chosen to host the final negotiations to end a long war between the peoples of Krios and Valt, who have been at war for centuri...

Most fans can easily name their favorite Star Trek villains, but just what makes a good Star Trek villain? In Star Trek Magazine, Lance Parkin examines the effects of Star Trek: The Wrat...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) This is nota bad episode, but I never cared much for the Worf/Alexander dynamic. I am still of the mindset Worf and K’Ehlyr would have made a better lasting pair with the cultural differences causing friction between them. Instead, we get Worf, who is trying to embrace Klingon ways he is not a...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) But I did say ’A Matter of Time” was best viewed without future Trek’s meddling. It is. A major plot pint is no one has ever heard of historians traveling through time to observe past events. In ENT, we learn there is such a thing and the 22nd century Earth Starfleet knows about them. The 22nd centu...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) It is not that bad, but the opening verbal duel with Spock and Picard is the weakest of both episodes. They are just throwing out all of Spock’s plan in one lump in order to justify his being on Romulus before the action starts. Jeri Taylor even makes an effort to distract us with aquip from Spock...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) For the record, the plots due dovetail in retrospect. In the movie, Spock volunteers the Enterprise crew to make peace with the Klingons. A conspiracy involving rogue elements trying to force an interstellar war pins the assassination of the Klingon chancellor on kirk and McCoy, sending...

By T'Bonz J.J. Abrams admitted that it would be a challenge to take on the genetic superman, but no more so than to have taken on recasting Kirk, Spock and the rest of the original series crew. “I think one of the byproducts of doing this movie was we were able to dispel the obvious and understandable conce...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) May I now present ’The Game,” which shall forever be known as the worst episode of Tng and a portent of some of the dreck Brannon Braga would write through the rest of televised trek’s run. This episode was so bad, Gene Roddenberry died what the before it aired just to spare himself the agony.

By T'Bonz Kate Mulgrew hasn’t seen Star Trek XI yet, but if J.J. Abrams came along and offered her a part in a movie, she wouldn’t turn him down. Mulgrew explained why she hadn’t yet seen the Star Trek reboot. “I haven’t, but not for any bad reason,” she said. “It’s a reason of comfort. I did Star [...]

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) Toral is captured. Gowron offers to let Worf kill him, as is Klingon custom. True to form, Worf abandons his Klingon nature for human custom, as all filthy aliens in Trek are supposed to do, and spares him. Rejoins the Enterprise. TheRomulans get away with impunity, because, you know, Klingon...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) The episode is the penultimate story in the season long theme of the Romulan-Duras conspiracy to take over the Klingon Empire.

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) The powers that be finally broke the mold with “First Contact.” For the first time, we see what a first contact situation when the prime directive no longer applies would look like. What we get is an homage to ’50’s science fiction films in which the aliens are the Enterprise crew. I would call t...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) I do not have a whole lot to say about ‘The Loss.” The episode combines two of the worst elements of TNG: a Troi story involving a techno babble solution to a conflict. Granted, both those situations have their amusing points. Troi’s temporary loss of her powers reveals her true character for t...

By T'Bonz J. J. Abrams and Chambliss wanted to make the starships recognizable to old school fans, yet have an updated “fresh” USS Enterprise that would appeal to both old and new. “That is how J.J.

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) You might even consider it a double miss, depending on your opinion of writer Tracy Torme. His original plan was for their to be a coup among high ranking Starfleet officials as a commentary on the Iran Contra scandal. Gene Roddenberry had kittens over the idea. There was absolutely no way any...

By Alex Billington I told him it would be really fun to create a whole new world, yet do an homage to the TV show, because that's where our world in Star Trek would end.
