Star Trek: TOS – S03E15, Sia questa l’ultima battaglia

30/06/2020

Sia questa l’ultima battaglia (traduzione leggermente sbagliata di Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, visto che Battlefield significa campo di battaglia) mi è parso uno splendido episodio. Finalmente ecco di nuovo un po’ di idee originali, che in questa terza stagione sembrano scarseggiare! Qui vediamo per la prima volta l’attivazione di una sequenza di autodistruzione … More Star Trek: TOS – S03E15, Sia questa l’ultima battaglia

ST:DS9 in 2020 : Season 6 (Part 4)

10/06/2020

I have more to say about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which is why I have gathered my reviews for this season in four parts instead of the usual three (see parts 1, 2, 3). It’s particularly difficult to pick up after some of the show’s best episodes (Inquisition, In the Pale Moonlight)! Here follow … More ST:DS9 in 2020 : Season 6 (Part 4)

ST:DS9 in 2020 : Season 6 (Part 3)

27/05/2020

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has grown into a mature and complex and at the same time entertaining series in its recent seasons. My reviews have grown longer accordingly, and instead of splitting each season into three parts this is the first time with season 6 (1997-1998) that I am splitting it into four. Directly … More ST:DS9 in 2020 : Season 6 (Part 3)

ST:DS9 in 2020 : Season 6 (Part 2)

17/05/2020

Previously on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the writing team attempted its most complex feat yet, starting season 6 (1997-1998) with six completely serialized episodes. After this solid piece, it’s time to take a breath again with more traditional stand-alone episodes — but also in the tradition of DS9 they still all connect to the … More ST:DS9 in 2020 : Season 6 (Part 2)

ST:DS9 in 2020 : Season 6 (Part 1)

07/05/2020

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 6 (1997-1998) aired at the same time as Voyager season 4 and while the TNG film Insurrection was in production. Season 6 was the last season from the initial planning of DS9, contractually; ratings were slowly but consistently decreasing, DS9 never managed to become the cultural event that TNG … More ST:DS9 in 2020 : Season 6 (Part 1)

Star Trek: TOS – S03E07, Day of the Dove

05/05/2020

Day of the Dove couldn’t have been more explicit in his condemnation of war, violence, and torture. The episodes sends this pacifist message totally in line with the ideals of Gene Roddenberry with a story with Klingons, now undoubtedly the most present antagonists of Kirk and the whole Federation (see Errand of Mercy, Friday’s Child, … More Star Trek: TOS – S03E07, Day of the Dove

Star Trek: Voyager – S06E02, Istinto di sopravvivenza

25/04/2020

Survival Instinct (Istinto di sopravvivenza) è un ritorno alla normalità dopo il doppio episodio Equinox a cavallo della quinta e sesta stagione. Infatti è un episodio dedicato a Seven of Nine, come a significare che nella sesta stagione non cambierà la musica suonata dalla quarta in avanti: la serie continuerà a concentrarsi sul personaggio di … More Star Trek: Voyager – S06E02, Istinto di sopravvivenza

Star Trek: TOS – S03E02, The Enterprise Incident

11/04/2020

And after the misstep of the first episode of the third season, here’s a great episode! The Enterprise Incident not only marks the return of the Romulans who appeared in Balance of Terror in the first season, but it can be said that it’s the progenitor of all those splendid TNG episodes in which Jean-Luc Picard … More Star Trek: TOS – S03E02, The Enterprise Incident

Star Trek: TOS – S03E02, Incidente all’Enterprise

07/04/2020

E dopo il passo falso della prima puntata della terza stagione, ecco un episodio come si deve! Incidente all’Enterprise (The Enterprise Incident) non solo marca il ritorno dei romulani apparsi in La navicella invisibile nella prima stagione, ma si può dire che sia il progenitore di tutte quelle splendide puntate in cui Jean-Luc Picard si … More Star Trek: TOS – S03E02, Incidente all’Enterprise
