Review of 'Star Trek: Discovery 2'
I endeavored in my reviews of Star Trek: Picard and the first season of Discovery to keep them free of specific spoilers. But it is not possible to review the tour de force that is the second season of Discovery without them, so expect plenty of spoilers in what follows.

Review of 'Star Trek: Discovery 1'
One of my favorite lines in any movie or television show is Jake Houseman (played by the inimitable Jerry Orbach) lamely apologizing to Johnny in Dirty Dancing -- "when I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong". That's what I have to say about not watching Star Trek: Discovery until the past few days. I wasn't in the mood for another Star Trek series, I didn't like paying for or even just watching yet another streaming service. But I was wrong.

Five characters for Discovery season three
The third season of Star Trek: Discovery is due to hit sometime this year, and promises some big changes for the core characters. Having spent the first two seasons in the pre-Original Series 23rd century, the next season takes place in 3187, far further into the future than any of Star Trek's previous main settings.

Why You Aren't A StarTrek Fan If You Are Right Leaning
Fan Definition A fan is not just someone who watches and slightly enjoys a work, a fan is someone who wants to see it again, who wants to enjoy it and connect with the work. Most definitions include mentions of devotion to the ideals or creation of the work itself. A fan is different from someone who enjoys or watches something, a fan is someone who defines themselves and their interactions via the work in question. Which brings us to the title; right-wing people aren't actually fans of Star Trek because they don't even pay attention to the lessons within the episodes.

Four Reasons Why Trek Fans Are Looking Forward to Section 31
As CBS All Access becomes the home for all things Star Trek, some Trek fans are eagerly anticipating the new show “Section 31.” To those non-Trek fans out there, Section 31 is the covert intelligence unit that works behind the scenes in the Star Trek world. The organization is willing to do whatever’s necessary, get its hands dirty and do the things the squeaky-clean Federation is not willing to do or can’t do. According to Memory Alpha, the organization is named after Starfleet Charter S, Article 14, Section 31, which allows Starfleet operatives to take “extraordinary measures” to protect security.

Would We Have Watched 'Star Trek: Picard' If Picard Were Not In It?
The first season of the CBS All Access TV series Star Trek: Picard has wrapped up, stirring a lot of online fan discussion. Throughout the season, fans conversed back and forth about what they liked and disliked about the series, as is to be expected. In various online threads, people sometimes asked whether or not anyone would be watching the show if it were not focused on Picard. This question has been asked seemingly as a way to evaluate whether the story of this series would have been good enough to carry itself without a familiar character like Picard. My answer to this question is, "No," but for reasons that might not be what one might expect.

My Review of "Star Trek (2009)"
I remember first seeing this remake of Star Trek and being in awe of it. I was a fan of the original series so I wasn't sure how the new Star Trek would pan out. It was also the time when J. J. Abrams was starting to make bigger budget movies so we didn't know what he was capable of.

Part II : JJ Abrams' Star Trek Movies are Being Held to a Higher Science Fiction Standard
Here's my second installment on this subject. I have long agreed that Star Trek (2009) was pretty light on the serious science fiction subject manner. But I've recently had a change of heart, and here I go again gladly defending JJ Trek.

As a Huge Fan of 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture', the Big Screen Experience Proves a Letdown
After 10 years in rerun wilderness, Star Trek: The Motion Picture rolled out in the winter of 1979. I saw the TV commercials, and I was ready to take the conn with old crew and newly engaged engines. But the reviews were bad, and when my brother asked me to go see it, I declined. I eventually saw TMP on TV—save a bit too much gasping at the gas cloud—I absolutely loved it. So the omission became a lifelong regret that I didn’t see it in the theaters, and when 40 years triggered a new theatrical release, I knew what I had to do. As it turns out, that decision may have been in error.
