What a terrible way to start Season 2 (after a rather sluggish first season finale)! I can’t imagine who thought that it could be a good idea to start with this dumb episode, nothing works in it! The good news is that things can only get better from now on… In The 37’s, the USS … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E01, The 37’s
This time the trick didn’t work for me: this is a sort of remake of the good episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation entitled A Matter of Perspective (third season) but I don’t think that it worked well for Voyager. Ex Post Facto doesn’t have the energy of the original TNG episode, and putting … More Star Trek: Voyager – S01E08, Ex Post Facto
In Eye of the Needle, the USS Voyager continues on its way home when the good Harry Kim discovers the unmistakable signs of the existence of a nearby wormhole – a space-time tunnel that could significantly shorten the journey to the Alpha quadrant. Everyone on the bridge is hopeful, but when they get close to … More Star Trek: Voyager – S01E07, Eye of the Needle
I know, I’m repeating myself (see the review of Balance of terror), but I must reinforce the concept here: the first season of the original series of Star Trek series is so full of ideas! Virtually every episode explores a new theme, opens a new avenue for new adventures… and with this episode, number nineteen, here … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E19, Tomorrow Is Yesterday
And so after my 2018 “best of” watch of Star Trek: The Next Generation, it’s now the turn of the big space saga, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine! DS9 celebrated its 25 year anniversary last year and its celebratory documentary “What We Left Behind” is getting a wide release later this year. While The Next … More ST:DS9 in 2019 : Season 1 (Part 1)
And here we are with the first reference to Shakespeare within Star Trek, which is so important in basically all the incarnations of the brand. For example, think about that masterpiece of Star Trek VI: The undiscovered country and about the various occasions in The next generation in which we say Shakespearean interpretations by Data, … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E13, The Conscience Of The King
And here’s the first double episode in the history of Star Trek: The menagerie! And let me say that it couldn’t have been a better one because the story is compelling and well developed and it also gives a broad view of the concept of Federation, of space exploration and of Starfleet. Of course everything … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E11-E12, The Menagerie
Che modo orribile di cominciare la seconda stagione (tra l’altro dopo un finale di prima stagione abbastanza fiacco)! Non riesco ad immaginare a chi sia sembrata una buona idea partire con questo episodio che non ha né capo né coda, qui non funziona proprio niente! La buona notizia è che da qui in avanti le … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E01, Una nuova Terra
After writing about The Terminator, the great film by James Cameron released in 1984, how can I not write about its sequel Terminator 2: Judgment day released seven years later and directed by the same director? It’s yet another exceptional film, something that shouldn’t surprise anyone since James Cameron had already proved himself capable of making … More Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Movie Review
I’ll tell you right away: I really enjoyed Miri, the eighth episode of the first season of TOS. It has glimpses of The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price (released in 1964, two years before Star Trek began), of George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (that would be released two years after Miri came … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E08, Miri (English)
