Star Trek: Lower Decks, Volume 1: Second Contact Review
Ryan North’s Star Trek: Lower Decks, Volume 1: Second Contact understands that the series works because the jokes sit alongside genuine affection for Star Trek.

Star Trek: TOS — “The Squire of Gothos” (S01E17) Review
His fire has no heat, his food has no taste, and his courtroom has no justice. William Campbell makes Trelane a delight to watch, even when “The Squire of Gothos” struggles to find a satisfying way out.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds — “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” (S04E10) Review
Strange New Worlds finally embraces its future in a brilliant, character-driven season finale. Two Uhuras, a temporal mystery, and the Enterprise becoming the ship we know. This is the Star Trek I’ve been waiting for. Rating: 8/10

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds — “Orders of Magnitude” (S04E08) Review
Joe Morton delivers one of the season’s strongest guest performances, while Paul Wesley’s Kirk finally gets a command crisis worthy of him. “Orders of Magnitude” is a strong episode about rank, conscience, and the danger of believing your own legend.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds — “Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass” (S04E07) Review
Strange New Worlds turns the Enterprise into a daytime soap opera, complete with melodramatic revelations, dramatic pauses, and Trelane pulling the strings. There is a genuinely moving story about Pike, Batel, and the daughter he lost buried underneath it all. Unfortunately, it takes far too long to reach it.
