A good episode was badly needed in this third season which was already showing worrying signs of weakness (the last three episodes had been one worse than the other: Darkling, Rise and Favorite Son). Before and After is yet another episode that plays with time travel but does it well and not only is it … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E21, Before and After
Future’s End is a fun double episode of Star Trek: Voyager in which the writers (Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky) decided to put aside profound concepts and positive messages. I had a lot of fun watching it, but it’s undeniable that there are lots of things that don’t add up… But I don’t really care … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E08-E09, Future’s End
Star Trek: First Contact was released in 1996 and it’s the first film of the saga to focus exclusively on the crew led by Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). Written by Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore like Star Trek: Generations two years before, and directed by Jonathan Two-Takes Frakes, it’s considered by many to be … More Star Trek: First Contact: Movie Review
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) closes the trilogy that began with Star Trek II in 1982 and continued with Star Trek III in 1984. More than any other, this film bears the signature of the late Leonard Nimoy directed it and wrote its story together with Harve Bennett, while the screenplay was written … More Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: Movie Review
The City on the Edge of Forever: even before watching this episode I was fascinated by its title, so captivating, mysterious, and evocative. And then it only improves on that, this is truly a masterpiece! It’s the second episode dealing with time travel after Tomorrow is Yesterday, but this one is far superior! There’s little … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E28, The City on the Edge of Forever
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
It may seem impossible for a 30-years-old director to debut (I consider this a debut given that it’s not clear yet who directed Piranha II: The Spawning in 1981) with a magnificent film like The Terminator, but that’s what James Cameron did in 1984. After all, we are talking about one of the most influential directors in … More The Terminator: Movie Review
And here we are with the fourth episode of TOS, and what an episode! We find both interesting narrative expedients and a lot of absurd things that nowadays are (unfortunately) material for ridiculous memes… In The Baked Time, the USS Enterprise arrives, surprise surprise, at an uninhabited planet which is also at the point of collapse … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E04, The Naked Time
…And we are back! (Part 1 here) Let’s see where Enterprise-D is headed next, with a selection of Season 5‘s second half (1991-1992): “Ethics”: Very good Worf is injured and demands he be euthanized, prompting a discussion on friendship and compassion. Riker‘s move to bring his son Alexander to make him realize what he’s … More ST:TNG in 2018 : Season 5 (Part 2)
