See under, "Picard, fan service". Nostalgia and so on can only take you so far.

Pretty standard 90s sitcom fair. Frasier is the same, except they have made him somewhat less insecure and also wealthier, both of which could have really happened. The surrounding characters are straight out of stock, rebel son (I assume it will come out that he is homosexual), dweeb nephew...

Actually it is more simple than that. You don't pay taxes unless you make a profit, and Paramount Plus never has. And never will. Pop goes the bubble. Market analysts have been telling Paramount to do this for over two years. As it becomes clear that it will never make any money at...

Again another well worn ST theme. Disobey orders for some "greater good". Star Fleet should just abandon all pretense of being a military organization. This same plot device has been used in ever series, often many times over. I have said this before, the gorn in TOS, which was an...

Since you brought it up, my impression from the Wrath of Khan was that Kirk was unaware of having impregnated Carol and was unaware of David's existence until the events of that movie. (Do not confuse this with the identical plot device of Picard season three :rolleyes: ) Knowing about...

What I object to is there is only so much Star Trek I get to watch, and they took 1/10th of what I get this year and made THIS. They could have made an episode about anything. Tribbles, time travel, Romulans, Gorn, Q, Spock's troubled psyche, Kirk's libido, resetting the warp array, or, and...

I agree with the comments about lighthearted episodes. You can only spoof yourself so much before that ceases to be an off-beat funny escape and becomes what the show is about. The Uhura episode was, IMHO, weak. The basic plot of some life form existing in a resource and trying to...

Remember three things. - In the original treatment for the series, from which "The Cage" comes from, Roddenberry had the Number One character as being the cold logical character, with the Spock character being less fleshed out and a smaller role. This is one of the things that NBC objected...

Bruce's explanation is straight from the current Star Trek cannon. There is nothing there to "not buy". It is what the people making the show say is the explanation. IMHO, Star Trek spends too much time on the "howcome WWIII didn't start in 1992 like was said in a throwaway line in an...

Not a bad episode but this same theme Again? The never saw or or or Maybe, Star Fleet should

Got preachy. No loss.

So NCIS has a, IMHO, pretty good ending.

I'm not sure that cartoons are covered by the same union. I seem to remember something about that advantaging Fox from the last time. Anyway the cartoon lead time is very long. Upfronts are in two weeks. I have heard less rumors than ever about shows. I doubt 40% of the broadcast...

Probably why they lose so much money. ST is one of the legs upon which this company has tried and tried to build a successful operation. The ST has ranged, IMHO, from good (SNW) to quirky (the cartoons) to uneven but pretty good at the end (STP) to among the worst things ever filmed (STD), but...

Which is why Paramount continues to shoot itself in the foot relative to the ST franchise. They are going to make this "Academy" thing, Star Trek 90210. Teen angst and romance. Classic Kurtzman Trek. He just doesn't get it. And, apparently a "Section 31" (ST version of what the Hollywood...

Different Star Trek sites are reporting three new series. The Kurtzman Trek "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" which has apparently been approved, probably out in 25. Some commentators are calling this "Star Trek 90210" assuming it will be filled with teen angst. The Kurtzman Trek "Star Trek...

I found the latest episode to be a bit forced. A lot of work just to work Moriarty in for about 40 seconds. They had "leaked" that the character would be included in the show, and there was a lot of fan speculation of an entire episode. Not really worth it. The "reboot" of Data was a...

I don't disagree. ONE reason STD was so awful was all the woke preaching. People come to science fiction to be entertained, not preached at. But leaving that aside, it just, uniquely among all versions of ST, simply at odds with what Roddenberry's vision of what ST is. ST, at its most...

- The show was and is awful. Had it not had "Star Trek" on it, it never would have been made, and if it was, would have been laughed off the air in a few episodes. - Kurtzman's new contract, allegedly, is simply for "content" not "Star Trek content". Some sci fi YouTube commentators believe...

Well, its OK, but the great thing about science fiction is that the canvas is blank. You can do anything. So they have Picard steal a ship to rescue an old shipmate, taking advantage of a stiff "by the book" captain. (The Search For Spock) and finds he has an unknown adult child (The Wrath of...

Remember those "do your own poetry" kits that were a popular office gift a few years ago? You got a box of tiles with words on them and drew out some and tried to piece together a sentence that make sense. That is this. Exact re-dos of plot elements from Search for Spock, Voyage Home, and I...

Its OK. While I get the Columbo reference, it also owes a lot to shows like Route 66, Moving On, and The Fugitive. The protagonist is in a different state with a different job and a different set of supporting characters every week. Clearly the working title of the show was not "Poker...
