Marking halfway point of the first season of Star Trek: Picard, “Stardust City Rag” proofs to be a dynamic episode that combines both a healthy amount of humor with dark and mature plot beats, all while moving the overall narrative of the series along at a brisk pace....
The journey to Freecloud takes a backseat in “Absolute Candor” as Jean-Luc Picard and crew instead stop at the planet Vashti, a place where Picard formed sentimental ties during the Romulan evacuation. It’s here that we meet the last member of the regular cast, Evan Evagora, who plays...
A chance encounter while on shore leave turns into a love story of a lifetime for James T Kirk. It turns out that finding and keeping love might be harder than star ship battles. Flirtatious banter, phaser-toting action, snappy McCoy/Kirk/Spock chats, heartbreak and an extinction level event all...

Star Trek: Picard episode 102 “Maps and Legends” Review The mystery that began with last week’s excellent series premiere deepens in “Maps and Legends,” as Jean-Luc Picard begins to take matters into his own hands as he deals with the aftermath of Dahj’s death. Episode two proves to...
Star Trek: Picard episode 101 “Remembrance Review 18 years after his last appearance as the iconic captain in Star Trek: Nemesis, Patrick Stewart, aged like fine wine, returns to the screen as Jean-Luc Picard. It’s a reprisal that has been earnestly marketed as a show very different from...
The first new Star Trek entry of the new decade comes in the form of the eight-minute Short Trek “Children of Mars,” a prequel to the upcoming series Star Trek: Picard. The episode chronicles how two school kids are drawn together because of a disastrous attack on Mars –...
Releasing alongside the entertaining “Ephraim and Dot” comes a unique take on Star Trek storytelling. Using a more life-like animation style and focusing on a story only tangently related to Star Trek, “The Girl Who Made the Stars” focuses on an African legend described by Michael Burnham in...

For the first time since 1974, there is a new animated Star Trek episode out in the wild. Two, in fact! A pair of animated Short Treks have been released, the first of which features the return of a Tardigrade, a key animal species from Discovery season one. This new...
I will level with you. To me Jean-Luc Picard is the chocolate chips of Star Trek. He is that special ingredient that can make bad things palatable and good things great. When the Star Trek: Picard series announcement happened — given their tie-in canon building campaigns — it...
The second season of Star Trek: Discovery on Blu-ray is out in the wild, giving fans a chance to catch the series’ excellent sophomore outing without a CBS All Access subscription. Whether you are a lapsed subscriber who wants to watch the season again, or a newcomer who didn’t...

Star Trek: Short Treks 203 “Ask Not” Review “Ask Not,” the third episode of the second season of Short Treks, is out now, and after watching the mere seven-minute-long installment, one could only assume this entry is a prelude to the highly rumored but unconfirmed Pike-era Star Trek series....
Review: Star Trek: Short Treks 202 “The Trouble with Edward” Star Trek fans have been treated to a variety of great episodes that usually fall into two categories: serious or comical. For every “ The Best of Both Worlds,” there’s a “The Trouble with Tribbles.” For every First...
Star Trek: Short Treks returns for a second season with “Q&A” Between seasons one and two of Star Trek: Discovery, the production team tried a new approach to Star Trek storytelling: Short Treks. These 15-minute mini-episodes proved quite effective in showcasing returning and new characters, so it’s only...
With tensions at a boiling point, Captain Pike on behalf of Starfleet meets with Mother herself, L’Rell, to see if they can help quiet things down. But trouble is on the horizon and the mind of Pike’s chief advisor Spock is elsewhere. Oh, boy. Catch Me Up, Scotty...

Mother has had enough. Spock misses Michael. Pike contemplates. Peace seems to be prevailing, for now, but war awaits in the shadows.

After chaotic events on multiple planets, the Enterprise continues her return home, but not before making a quick stop on a mysterious planet. When they return to the ship, however, Kirk, Spock and McCoy realize, much to their horror, that chaos just never seems to leave the Enterprise....
It’s easy to argue that the most vital time in the history of the Star Trek franchise is the 1970s. As The Original Series was axed off air but sustained in the form of unprecedented fan interest, the future of Star Trek was simultaneously unsure and a sure...
