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…
As I suspected at the end of my previous Short Trek recap, “The Trouble with Edward”, in addition to being the latest Star Trek tribble episode, is indeed a flat-out comedy. But it’s one that actually works; it’s a pretty…

Previously: Well, this is different; this week, the “previously on” clips all come from “The Cage”, the original Star Trek pilot. I’m going out on a limb and guessing this is the first time in Star Trek history that the…
