Star Trek: Picard “Broken Pieces”

Previously on Star Trek Into Oldness: Picard rescued Small Wonder from the Borg Cube, and his heroism inspired Hugh to start a Borg revolution on the cube, which apparently he’d just plain never thought of doing before. Tragically, he…

Star Trek: Picard “Remembrance”

Star Trek may take place in the future, but like all science fiction, it’s really about the present. The original Star Trek was suffused with Kennedyan optimism and a very ’60s faith in the power of science, Western-style democracy, and…

Star Trek: The Next Generation “Shades of Gray”

A long, long time ago, when the Agony Booth’s list of Star Trek recaps was called the Worst of Trek and only consisted of recaps of bottom-of-the-barrel episodes like “Spock’s Brain” and “The Outrageous Okona”, there was one episode that seemed like a no-brainer to be included on the list. Anyone even vaguely familiar with the franchise knows exactly which episode is the most hated...

Star Trek: Short Treks “Children of Mars”

The run-up to Star Trek: Picard officially kicks into high gear with “Children of Mars”, a new Short Trek directly tying in to the events of the series I just mentioned. The verdict: less than promising. We start off with…

Star Trek: Short Treks “Ephraim and Dot”

“Ephraim and Dot” is one of two animated Short Treks that premiered last Thursday, along with “The Girl Who Made the Stars”. But unlike that other short, “Ephraim and Dot” has a strong connection to Star Trek lore—which may be…

Star Trek: Short Treks “The Girl Who Made the Stars”

Star Trek (TAS) “More Tribbles, More Troubles”

It’s hard to believe, but for some reason our host Dr. Winston O’Boogie and I never got around to recapping the last two Star Trek (the animated series) episodes. And given that two new animated Short Treks episodes are premiering…

Top o’ the mornin’, you cheeky monkey! Welcome back to… Today’s episode, “Honor Among Thieves”, checks off several different Trek boxes. First, there’s the well-worn trope of Chief O’Brien being assigned to a task that’s either well above his pay…

Star Trek: Short Treks “Ask Not”

And now, the last of the Captain Pike-era Short Treks, “Ask Not”. At around nine minutes, this is the shortest Short Trek so far, and one of the most inconsequential. It’s built around a pretty obvious twist that negates…
