Star Trek Starfleet Academy – S01-EP08-10

Its the end of the season, which kind of stinks because it means I am out of new Trek. I suppose I could watch some old Trek. I have never watched Enterprise before, maybe I'll look into that. S01E08 - The Life of the Stars The previous SAM centered episode was decent, but kind of annoying in places. This one is also SAM centered, and its, much much better overall. Primarily it focuses on two characters, SAM and Tarima, as they both deal with their lingering Trauma from the Miyazaki incident. Tarima is back, but now part of Starfleet Academy…

Star Trek Starfleet Academy – S01-EP05-07

Welcome to part 2 of a series of posts where I haphazardly ramble on about Star Trek Starfleet Academy. This week covers episodes 5 through 7. It was going to go through episode 8 but it turns out there are only 10 episodes in the season, and the numbers work out better if I chop them up this way. Something something spoilers ahead. S01E05 - Series Acclimation Mil I ended up getting slightly spoiled by buzz around this episode, nothing major, just the basic nature. Mostly that Tawny Newsome was involved and going to be in it. I wondered a…

Star Trek Starfleet Academy – S01-EP01-04

I wrote a whole post on this show before watching it that I never bothered posting. It was basically, "People are bitching about the show without watching it, so I will "not bitch"... "anti-bitch"? ... whatever, about the show, without watching it. In the end, it felt like pointless fuel on an artificial fire. Having watched it, or at least, the first part of it, its fine. If you want the short and sweet spoiler free commentary the show is pretty good, its "more Trek" than Discovery was. I can see why some folks dislike the dialog at times. For…

Star Trek Khan Podcast (Episode 7-9)

I picked up a few theories in the Star Trek sub reddit which honestly fit well, one I had already considered. In the interest of less obvious potential spoilers up front, I will drop them in between Episode 7 and 8 below. Episode 7 I feel like I missed something in the flow of the Present Day events because Tuvok and Lear discuss how Delmonda gave her logs, but also they got the Logs from the planet, where she wanted to remain to listen to the logs, but now she is on the ship? I think maybe. I think more…

Star Trek Khan Podcast (Episode 4-6)

Int he first three episodes we saw Khan and his crew's early steps to setting up their colony on Ceti Alpha V, after being stranded there by Captain Kirk during the events of Space Seed. Quite a few of the characters got killed off during these adventures. We still have not seen the destruction of Ceti Alpha VI or the death of Marla McGivers, the Starfleet crew member who stayed behind along side Khan. Three episodes of nine down, three more this week. Just a reminder, there will be spoilers Episode 4 Ceti Eels is the most boring damn name…
