Josh Reviews Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season Two – Part Two
Yesterday I began my look back at season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Read on for my thoughts on the rest of the season, including the crossover with Lower Decks and the surprisingly fun musical episode! 06 — Lost in Translation After seeing Spock and Chapel kiss at t
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season Two
Coming off of the excellent Picard season three, I was curious to see if similar improvements would be in evidence for the second season of Strange New Worlds, the prequel series set on Captain Pike’s Enterprise, several years before TOS. Many critics, as well as my friends who ar
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Picard: Season Three — Part Two!
I enjoyed the first half of Star Trek: Picard season three, and the second half did not disappoint. I am so impressed at how completely they turned around this show. I strongly disliked the first two seasons of Picard, but new show-runner Terry Malalas and his team did an incredible
Star Trek: The Brave and the Bold
The Brave and the Bold is a two-novel duology, written by Keith R.A. DeCandido, back in 2002. Mr. DeCandido is one of my favorite authors of Star Trek novels (I’m sad that he no longer writes Trek books!!), and this story is an incredibly fun cross-over story that spans what at t

The animated Star Trek: Prodigy is set about five years after the series finale of Star Trek: Voyager (the third and final live-action Star Trek TV series set in the 24th century, following Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). A group of young people in a
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Lower Decks Season Three!
One of the only bright lights for me in (the otherwise pretty much terrible) modern Star Trek has been the delightful animated series Lower Decks. I quite liked the first season, and I absolutely loved the second season. I’m so happy that all ten episodes of season three con
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season One (Part Two)
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a prequel series set about a decade before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series. It’s set on the original U.S.S. Enterprise, under the command of Captain Christopher Pike. (Captain Pike, then played by Jeffrey Hunter, was the lead of
