Or if the twelve colonies had their entire defense network system outsourced to one guy, who had clearance to let his Cylon lover play with the coding.

Every time I see that thumbnail of Minuet, I see a young Kate Mulgrew. Once I noticed the resemblence I absolutely couldn't unsee it.

And after about half a dozen literal god encounters on TOS, and then the Godlike V'ger in the movie, the pilot of TNG introduced a new god-like entity. And Picard's plea that humanity has grown beyond their base cruelty is pretty much the same stuff we got from Kirk in TOS at various points. Then th...

I'm curious because I didn't actually watch: Did Dahj actually receive the job title of "scientist" or was that a Chuck joke? Nobody ever posts a job listing as "Scientist." What's her field? Is she an astrophysicist? Cellular Biologist? Experimental Warp Theory Research? Or is this a stupid writer ...

I don't get the complaints about the worldbuilding. I actually dislike shows that try to bash you over the head with their exposition and a complete lack of subtle. Firefly did it right. I like how they demonstrate the fact that Chinese culture and language have become commonplace-you can have very ...

Just like with Picard in "Chain of Command" - when the Cardassians capture a Starfleet officer, war is not typically the result. The result is high-stakes poker match. This is a very strong second on the list of top Keiko episodes, right after "In the Hands of the Prophets". Except Piccard was ille...

To keep the focus on the episode and not the current issues legal discussion (I've had my fill of that elsewhere). I was a bit taken aback by the Federation's limp-wristed response in this episode to what was a clear act of war. Given that there's a DMZ, and that it's unlikely that O'Brien's vacatio...

My only experience of this is seeing Chuck's review. That said, I think it has to be from the Kelvin timeline. That explains how Captain Jockbro Kirk is the most competent captain in the universe. Look at the rest of these rubes, their poor management skills are destroying ships and wrecking ecology...

Well I liked Too Short a Season, both as an episode in and of itself but also as a sort of spiritual sequel to A Private Little War. The Insane Admiral of the Week pulled the same sort of thing with the planet of the week that Kirk did with Planet Neural, and it did not end well. By using a new adm...

Hopefully the former and not the latter. Riffing hasn't been the same for years. Even Rifftrax isn't the same anymore with the guys getting on in age and health and shuffling most, if not all, of the writing onto others with the resulting nose dive in quality to the jokes. I can't confirm this, sin...
