Blogging the Next Generation: Picard — “Vox”
This entry was written during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Without the labor of the actors currently on strike, this television series wouldn’t exist. To learn more, visit the SAG-AFTRA strike site. “We’ve been here before.” I’ve used the phrase “creative project” a lot while rewatching Star Trek: Picard. Many of my entries have gone to trying… Continue reading Blogging the Next Generation: Picard — “Vox”
Blogging the Next Generation: Picard — NEMESIS rewatch
“It seems as though we are truly sailing into the unknown.” What, then, of Data? The reason I needed to hit both First Contact and Nemesis on my way into Star Trek: Picard‘s first season was that while the modern incarnation of the captain began in the former, everything else about the Picard series, for… Continue reading Blogging the Next Generation: Picard — NEMESIS rewatch
Blogging the Next Generation: Picard — FIRST CONTACT rewatch
We’ve been here before. Quite literally in this case — I covered Star Trek: First Contact, the second Next Generation feature film, as part of Blogging the Next Generation.

Blogging the Next Generation: “All Good Things…”
“And the sky’s the limit.” There’s that shot at the end of “All Good Things…,” the last episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, where Captain Picard starts dealing a poker hand to his crew – he’s never, in seven years, sat at that table, though he was always welcome – and as the cards… Continue reading Blogging the Next Generation: “All Good Things…”
Blogging the Next Generation: “Sub Rosa”
“You stay on in this house, and you keep that damn candle, I’ll not be responsible for what happens!” Of all the crazy shit Star Trek: The Next Generation ever attempted, “Sub Rosa” might well be remembered as the craziest: the Gothic ghost story-cum-Harlequin romance novel in which Dr. Beverly Crusher – scientist, mother, and… Continue reading Blogging the Next Generation: “Sub Rosa”
Review: STAR TREK GENERATIONS (Blogging The Next Generation Christmas Special)
“You know, there was a time when I wouldn’t hurt a fly. Then the Borg came… and they showed me that if there’s one constant in this whole universe, it’s death.”
