Star Trek: The Next Generation - Intelligence Gathering (Star Trek Next Generation (Unnumbered))

The second part of “Time’s Arrow” marks the beginning of TNG’s finest season. At the risk of sounding cruel, I think much of its virtue has to do with the lack of Gene Roddenberry’s influence. Many of the season’s plotlines vary widely from Roddenberry’s utopian idealism into the shadier aspects of morality. Picard and Troi take part in some subversive cloak...

We have reached the season finale of what has been enormous highs and craterous lows, but more of the former than latter. After two season finales of epic battles, the powers that be wisely chose to make a more personal finale. They also decided at the last minute to use a cliffhanger because fan buzz about the upcoming DS9 was fueling rumors TNG was ending. The story was then expanded in order to...

Here I am, late as usual, writing about a movie all of you saw months ago in the theaters. But what the heck. That never shut me up before. Like it was yesterday, I remember sitting down to watch the premiere of STAR TREK in 1967. (If it wasn’t 1967, don’t blame me. I don’t fact-check these things, you know.) I was a big science-fiction fan and was really looking forward to it, and...

Originally posted June 3, 2009 Should I see it? Yes. Short Review: Anything that can possibility offend Trekkies and get them hyperventilating through their retainers is okay by me. A production like this isn't new. Yet another Corporation continuing to recycle pop cultural baubles of previous generations, repackage it, and then sell it to quite possibly the dumbest generation to draw breath. This...

“The Inner Light” does not need much introduction, does it? It is the most personal episode since TOS’ “The City on the Edge of Forever.” not surprisingly, those are two of only four trek episodes to win Hugo awards for Best Dramatic Presentation. It is such a uniquely fascinating, poignant episode. The Enterprise encounters a probe which takes over Picard’s mind....

“The Next phase’ is an ironic entry in the fifth season. It was intended to bea budget saving bottle show--a highly necessary one, considering other episode had gone over budget--but wound up being one of the most expensive of the series because of the phasing special effect used throughout. Like most bottle episodes, it is just sort of there. It has a neat hook, but otherwise, there is...
