    New 'Star Trek' series 'Starfleet Academy' officially gets the green light

    Yeah, thing is though...the crew of the USS Discovery went forward in time, skipping over the Picard date, and they all remembered the tree being there, at the Academy, from before they went forward in time and before the Picard date. Hence the inconsistency. I think that's what the author was...

    'Star Trek Discovery' season 3, episode 7 recap: The series' strong start feels like a different show entirely

    Great review. Well written and very entertaining to read. Scott Snowden writes from the perspective of what makes sci-fi enjoyable – or not – on television. One spacey point I picked up on though was when Lt. Owosekun announced the Discovery was the Lagrange Point for Ni'var...and since Vulcan...

    'Star Trek: Picard' warps onto TV with an okay premiere episode

    This is one of the most in-depth reviews I've read on 'Picard' – I don't necessarily agree with everything the writer has said, but certainly a lot of it. However, he goes to great lengths to explain why he has these opinions and that's something a lot of reviews don't do particularly well...

    'The Mandalorian' Episode 4 is a Nod to a Classic Western Movie Trope

    The entire series is a nod to Westerns, yes, not just this particular trope, no. In fact, the series touches upon a number of different themes within the Western genre.
