The others I liked in varying degrees but it wa...

Being one who enjoys picking nits, why does trio’s arrow penetrate Data’s chest here when he is bulletproof in Star Trek: First Contact? I believe he is also cautious about bullets in ’Time’s Arrow” as well. Continuity, people. That is what a story editor is for.)

My TNG/DS9 era favoritism is going to shine through prominently in my review of “Metamorphosis.” The episode marks the first time the legendary Zefram Cochrane appears in Trek. I had seen the episode numerous times over the years before watching Star Trek: First Contact in 1996. As far as I a...

Greatest Movie Blog: REVIEW - STAR TREK Boldly Goes Where No Other STAR TREK Film Has Gone Before

source: Quick Stop Entertainment

I enjoyed most of the previous Star Treks (particularly Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the underrated Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek: First Contact), but I’m not what one would consider a Trekkie. I’ve seen maybe one episode of the original series and a good portion of Sta...
