"Yoraya. Yoraya. Hasenpfeffer Incorporated" - oops, wrong show. -- WHICH show? For some reason the opening to Laverne and Shirley just popped into my head while they were chanting. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated." (and I had to look it u...

Cold Front We open on Silik having "enhancements" being forcibly removed under the direction of Future Guy as punishment for not destroying the Klingon Empire. Harsh! And we cut just before the big needle goes into his eye. This must be the introduction of "Movie Night" - Travis,...

Fortunate Son We open on a freighter speeding through space and a couple of guys tossing a football back and forth the length of a cargo hold and exchanging some really clunky dialog. Explosions and "Nausicans" are attacking. This episode needed to have Creedence Clearwater Revival as the ...

Civilization We open on the Situation Room with the crew showing that their scientific mission has absolutely no rhyme or reason to it as they work through a grab bag of systems (most of which could have been seen through telescopes before they got their and assigned a priority) with them deciding t...

Trip and Phlox are in the galley going over some pictures from school kids back home. T'Pol makes the mistake of saying something almost complimentary about the drawings and is now required to take one with her. She doesn't even have a fridge in her quarters, give her a break guys! The drawings actu...

She's alive!!

I think there's a major fork between the TOS history and the TNG/Enterprise history. "First Contact" essentially blew most of the unwritten/unspoken pre-Federation history out of the water. In the TOS episode "Metamorphosis" Zefram Cochrane was referred to as the "discoverer...

Hmmm...after some of the atrocities that Word's grammar checker has tried to foist on me, maybe Wordstar isn't such a bad idea... http://gizmodo.com/george-r-r-martin-explains-why-he-writes-game-of-thro-1576130349?utm_campaign=socialflow_gizmodo_facebook&utm_source=gizmodo_facebook&utm_mediu...

OK, we open with hooded Vulcan monks and a bunch of Andorians bust the door in. Love the wiggling antennae! And as long as I'm being positive, let me say that I actually like the opening credits. I know a lot of people don't like "Faith of the Heart" as the theme song but I don't mind it a...

You have our support Alelou, such as it is. Looking forward to the next chapter of North Star! I am the reason for Weeble's slow updates on Jupiter Aligns for Mars. I need to get his next chapter beta'd and back to him this week (Action This Day was what Churchill used to say. I think I'm settling f...

Again, I'm surprised because this is episode 5 (or 6 if you count Broken Bow as 2) but it comes across as something that was written by a team that's completely out of ideas. This episode was written by Berman and Braga and perhaps they were just burnt out on Star Trek by that time. It's a pity. The...

OK, it's awfully quiet around here. We had a nice vacation, I fixed my video library and found the time to watch another episode. And this time it's Terra Nova. Hey, wasn't that a TV series?? We start with Travis and Hoshi looking up data on Terra Nova. Using the iPad built into the helm. Apparently...

Well, I was going to catch another episode before leaving on vacation but the server with my video library on it decided it wanted a vacation too so it's going to be a couple of weeks before I get back and have some time to fix it.

This episode is more of a comedy so we'll give it a pass on some of the "deh stupid". It's a lot more entertaining than the last two episodes were. So we start with Archer taking a shower and the grav plating cutting out. Man, they sure did put in the fancy shower heads. Then it comes back...

Oooh, blu-ray, shiny! There are some makeup goofs that show up in hi-def in the first few seasons, unfortunately. I was thinking a little more about "Strange New World" and how it could have been a better episode. The plot device (hallucinogens in the atmosphere make everyone freak out) is...
