Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 10 of 10)

Previously: V’Ger threatened to destroy all life on Earth, leading both Kirk and the screenwriters to completely wing it, coming up with a plan on the fly that sees the Enterprise get drawn even deeper into the alien vessel for a personal meeting with V’Ger itself.

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: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 9 of 10)

Previously: Decker tried to put the moves on the Ilia-probe, while Spock stole a spacesuit and tried to put the mind-meld moves on V’Ger. Sadly, those living machines aren’t quite the easy lay that either man expected. Spock wakes up in Sickbay. Dr. Chapel is scanning his brain, and McCoy tells Kirk that the “power pouring through that mind-meld” may have caused Spock...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 8 of 10)

Previously: The Enterprise entered the evil cloud and got a bit too close to the Great Sphincter. Lt. Ilia was abducted by the intruder, which left a robot “probe” lookalike in her place, sort of like a… changeling? And with that, it’s back to the TOS theme...

Previously: If you want to know what the last installment was like, give yourself a mild concussion and stare in wonder at all the lights and colors that dance before your eyes. Another alarm sounds, and this time, the Enterprise has been seized by a tractor beam...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 6 of 10)

Previously: Spock showed up at last and made himself science officer, leading to a heartwarming reunion where the guy was pretty near catatonic. There was some questioning of Spock’s motives between Kirk and McCoy that went nowhere, just in time for the Enterprise to make visual contact with the Maybe-Not-Evil Cloud.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 5 of 10)

Previously: The Slow-Motion Picture literally went into slow-motion as the Enterprise fell into a wormhole created purely by Kirk’s hubris. Decker agreed to “nursemaid” Kirk to prevent this sort of mishap from happening again, which isn’t quite as freaky as it sounds...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 3 of 10)

Previously: Spock’s human blood was touched by the big evil cloud out in space and so he didn’t get to join the Kohlinar Klub. Meanwhile, Kirk and Scotty flew around the Enterprise in a shuttle, and um… you know, I don’t think anything else happened. On the Enterprise bridge, it’s total chaos...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 1 of 10)

Is there a movie that more intensely divides Star Trek fans than Star Trek: The Motion Picture? To some, it’s a slow, boring, drawn-out film, with interminable special effects sequences, and a crew having weirdly awkward interactions with one another...

Star Trek: Discovery “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2”

Previously: Leland-Control and his Section 31 ships were coming for the Discovery and its Sphere data. They couldn’t delete the data or destroy the ship, so the only solution was to build a brand new Red Angel Suit (to be…
