By T'Bonz Would Stewart have been knighted had he not played Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation? “It is a result,” he said. “Because the cumulative result of Star Trek and the X-Men … when I went back to the U.K. after 15 years away, I went and did an Ibsen play [The Master Builder]. … Not a writ...

By T'Bonz Written by David Raines, this third part of a trilogy (Command Decision and The Darkest of Thoughts preceded this episode) features some familiar Trek names as guest stars: Spice Williams-Crosby (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier’s Klingon Vixis), Celeste Yarnall (Star Trek: The Apple...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) If you want proof trek had run its course in the Rick Berman/Brannon Braga era, look no further than Star Trek: Nemesis. Seriously, if you look any further, you will have to watch episodes of ENT. That show was not fit for human consumption.

By Charlie Jane Anders The writers have an idea they're talking about, and "opinions are starting to form," says Roberto Orci. The sequel is more "daunting," because there are fewer constraints. "Now that we have absolute freedom, it comes with absolute responsibility and it is daunting." They are looking to co...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) The change does make for a much different Picard than in the television series. I can appreciate some fans do not like it. In the series, Picard was unwilling to use Hugh as a genocidal weapon against the Borg even after they had done so many terrible things to him. But in First Contact--heck, in...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) The reasons Star Trek: Generations falls flat are almost unmanageably numerous to list. The best way to sum it up succinctly is to say it tried to copy all the elements of Star Trek III: the Search for Spock except for the one element which made that movie decent--Spock.

By T'Bonz Atari has provided a Starfleet and Klingon Defense Force Intelligence Briefing as well as a short video on the Cardassian Empire. While Starfleet considers the Cardassians a “warlike and xenophobic people,” the Klingons see them as “fierce warriors” who “fight with honor” and who are “...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) Star Trek III: The Search for Spock had met expectations at the box office, so a sequel was greenlit. More importantly, Harve Bennett and Leonard Nimoy completed the film early and under budget, so were the natural choices to produce the fourth film.

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) When Piller took over in the third season, Roddenberry’s involvement became limited to cashing the checks and complaining, often anonymously, to the press about the direction the show was taking. It is also the time TNG started to become the show I remember fondly. I think TNG began elevat...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) After six long months and 176 reviews, we have reached the final episode of TNG. “All Good Things…” is significant for several reasons beyond capping off the longest run of an American science fiction series until that time. First, it set the seven season precedent for modern Trek series wh...

By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) The New York Times say that their sources spoke “on condition of anonymity because of studio policy”. When it comes to Paramount, however, they are able to cite Katie Martin Kelley directly. She says that the final decision on whether or not Transformers 3 and/or Star Trek 2 will be shot in 3D...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) Data figures out a cure before picard turns into a lemur, but not before he electrocutes a prehistoric Worf--serves the filthy alien right--and a crewman is killed. Things go back to normal. Crusher is more worried about the annoyance of Barclay’s neuroses than the fact her cure lead to the...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) Meanwhile, we revisit an aspect of “Redemption, Part II” as Data has assumed command of the Enterprise while not seeming all that fit to do so because of his lack of emotion. Problems associated with that will explode next episode when everything else blows up, too. Sit tight until then. It on...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) To finish up the review, while I will not say it is a problem here, “Frame of Mind” established a genre of Trek episodes in which we do not learn until the last few minutes that what we have been watching up until that point is not real. We know something odd is going on as Riker bounces from perfor...

By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) As you might have noticed — I’ve been a big supporter of Avatar, and loved the movie, which I have now seen one and a half times in 3D (don’t ask…).

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.

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) You might even consider it a double miss, depending on your opinion of writer Tracy Torme.
