(1966-1969)

Posted May 18 2003 by Albert
A gang of ten year olds with a leader wearing a big flowered muummuu do not an intimidating nemesis make.
“Spock's Brain”
Posted Sep 14 2003 by Albert
"Who knew you only needed twelve buttons to control an entire person?"
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)
Posted Jun 22 2009 by Mark "Scooter" Wilson
“I’m really annoyed at how this movie is making me question the competence of every single human being in the universe.”
“The Alternative Factor”
Posted Nov 23 2011 by Ed Harris
“Right now, I feel like a character in an H.P. Lovecraft story, driven mad, just waiting for the mutant fish people to come for me.”
Star Trek (the animated series)
(1973-1974)
“Mudd's Passion”
Posted Apr 2 2006 by Albert
"William Shatner, whether he's animated or not, never misses out on an opportunity to do a head roll. "
“The Lorelei Signal”
Saturday Morning Glory Episode #1
Posted Nov 7 2010 by Ryan Lohner
Ryan recaps the animated Star Trek episode “The Lorelei Signal”, where the Enterprise responds to a sexy distress call, and Kirk and Spock and McCoy all lose their damn minds over a colony of blondes, who turn out to be lifeforce vampires! Uhura and Chapel are forced to take command and rescue the horny bastards, with the help of the Enterprise’s surprisingly hot womens’ security team. Watch the video below, and learn all about the hidden dangers of Jazzercise headbands and competitive giant ruby tossing!
Star Trek: The Next Generation
(1987-1994)
“Sub Rosa”
Posted Oct 19 2003 by Albert
"The guys who wrote that Hallmark card called. They'd like their crappy poetry back now."
Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
Posted Aug 29 2007 by Ed Harris
"It just wouldn't be a TNG movie without a Data scene that made you wonder why the hell you ever got into Star Trek in the first place."
Star Trek: Generations (1994)
Posted Apr 19 2010 by Ed Harris
“I don’t know how, but this film has actually managed to make me hate Tuesdays. And running gags. And Alan Ruck.”
“The Battle”
Posted Aug 2 2010 by Kevin Podsiadlik
“But you can see why this incident would be so unmemorable to the captain. Nearly getting blasted to bits, abandoning ship, adrift in space for weeks, and ultimately immortalized in the textbooks for a feat of heroism would almost totally pass from anyone’s memory after nine years.”
“The Last Outpost”
Posted Oct 4 2010 by Kevin Podsiadlik
“It was 1987, and the fourth episode of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, when nobody knew what a Ferengi was or anything of their now-famous tendencies. So join me, won’t you, as we take a trip back to when an aura of mystery surrounded this new rival of the Federation, and see just how long it takes for their mystique to be utterly and forever left in ruins. ”
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
(1993-1999)
“Let He Who Is Without Sin...”
Posted Oct 18 2005 by Albert
"Let it be known that I will be casting the first stone. Directly at Worf's head."
“Meridian”
Posted Sep 29 2008 by Ed Harris
"Yep, a Star Trek episode is going for a lighthearted tone, which can only mean one thing: Deep hurting… deep hurting!"
Star Trek: Voyager
(1995-2001)
“Threshold”
Posted Sep 27 2006 by Albert
"Brannon Braga calls this one 'a royal, steaming stinker'. And when the guy who wrote the episode says that, it's pretty hard to disagree."
“The Fight”
Posted Mar 23 2008 by Mark M. Meysenburg
"If you listen carefully, you'll hear the thud as this episode hits the canvas."
Enterprise (AKA Star Trek: Enterprise)
(2001-2005)
“A Night in Sickbay”
Posted Apr 30 2008 by Albert
"This episode will not be presented in real time. It'll only feel that way."
“Two Days and Two Nights”
Posted Jul 23 2008 by Number One
"It's pretty sad that the only real nod we've had to space travel thus far has been the use of navigational terms as an aid to sexual harassment."
