rhapsodizing
This episode was so much fun. Completely silly. Totally entertaining. Loved nearly every minute. The first song, “Status Report,” was probably the best song: catchiest tune, lyrics that made us want to sing along. We’ve replayed those opening scenes so many times we know it by heart now. Loved the astounded expression on Spock’s face Read.

I Cannot Picard
I’m a huge Star Trek fan from way back. I’ve watched every episode of the original series so many times that you can show me a two-second clip of any show and I can tell you which one it is. I stood in line outside the movie theater in freezing temps to see Star Trek: Read.

prodigy
Every time I start a new episode of Star Trek Prodigy, that little button in the lower right corner of the screen that says “Skip Intro” pops up and every time I think to myself, “Skip intro? Are you kidding? This is the best part of the show!” Star Trek Prodigy is a Nickelodeon creation, Read.

STTNG rewatch – Remember Me
There’s an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where everybody on the Enterprise disappears by ones and twos at first, then dozens and hundreds at a time, until only Doctor Crusher is left. She tries to get Jean-Luc, Will Riker and the rest to help her figure out what’s happening, and they do, at Read.

“Welcome to Star Fleet!” “Thanks! I’m really looking forward to boldly going to strange, new worlds and doing lots of science and adventure!” “You’ll have to wear a uniform.” “I’m okay with that.” “Here you go!” “Where’s the rest of it?” “What do you mean? That’s it.” “This is a cocktail dress.” “That’s the official Read.

unpopular opinion
Star Trek (the original series) is not the show its fans seem to think it is. Fans of the show love to yammer on and on about how nothing is more important in the Star Trek universe than equality. Whatever nation you were from, whatever color your skin was, whatever your sex, everybody was treated Read.

fast forward
One of my favorite ways to wind down at the end of the day is to watch YouTube videos of Trevor Noah’s The Daily Show, Stephen Colbert’s The Tonight Show, and Seth Meyers’s The Late Show. All the shows post highlights of the previous night’s show the next day, so I can catch up on Read.

gorshin
Have you heard of this sequester thingy they’re doing in Washington DC? It’s basically like the time that Jim, Spock, Scotty and Bones threatened to destroy the Enterprise when a couple of bad guys wanted to take it over. Each one of them had to tell the computer, very slowly and deliberately, not to mention Read.

corbomite
The Corbomite Maneuver is one of those Star Trek episodes that I thought was the absolute cat’s ass when I saw it back in high school, but when I watch it now it’s so full of cornball I can hardly see anything else going on. It starts off with a mystery: A giant multicolored cube Read.

music to my ears
If you can hear a whole brass section going DUNNNH DUH-DUH-DUH-DUNNNH! as you gaze at this cinegraph, you must have wasted at least as much of your youth watching Star Trek as I did. Read.
