How to Start Watching (And Fall in Love with) Star Trek — Part One!
Welcome to the most important blog post I might ever write! I love Star Trek. I think that, of all of the series/franchises/stories/universes that I love, whether they be in movies, TV shows, novels, comic-books, or whatever the media, Star Trek will always be my favorite. I love S
Checking out the Star Trek: Picard Backstory
I was very lukewarm on the first season of Star Trek: Picard. It was amazing seeing Patrick Stewart back in this role, something I never ever expected to see. The rest of the cast was strong, and the production values were great. But I thought the story-telling was, mostly, a me
Josh Reviews the Season Finale of Star Trek: Picard
Star Trek: Picard has been a very mixed bag for me. I’ve enjoyed watching it, and I think it’s been far better executed than the two seasons of Discovery we’ve gotten so far on CBS All Access. On the other hand, in my opinion Picard contains many of the same fla
Josh reviews Episodes 7-9 of Star Trek: Picard!
We’re almost at the end of the first season of Star Trek: Picard. I enjoyed the premiere, but then I felt episodes 2 and 3 were very mediocre. The show has been better since then (click here for my reviews of episodes 4-6), and I am enjoying watching it. At the same time,
Star Trek: Child of Two Worlds
Recently, I have been enjoying catching up on the many great Star Trek: The Original Series novels that author Greg Cox has written over the past several years! I’ve arrived at last at the last one that had been waiting patiently on my book-shelf: Child of Two Worlds. This story
Josh Reviews Episodes 4-6 of Star Trek: Picard
I enjoyed the premiere of Star Trek: Picard but I thought episodes two and three were very mediocre. Thankfully, I thought the next three episodes were a significant improvement, though the show is still far more flawed than I would have hoped. Let’s dig in. Episode 4: ̶
Star Trek: The Captain’s Oath
Christopher L. Bennett’s fantastic new Star Trek novel, The Captain’s Oath, serves as something of an origin story for Captain James T. Kirk. But whereas J.J. Abrams’ rebooted Star Trek movie, and its sequels, told a story outside of established Star Trek continui
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Picard Episodes 2 & 3
I quite enjoyed the premiere episode of Star Trek: Picard. Unfortunately, the next two episodes (“Maps and Legends” and “The End is the Beginning”) were rather disappointing. The same thing happened with Star Trek: Discovery — I really enjoyed the premi
Star Trek: Collateral Damage
David Mack’s new Star Trek novel, Collateral Damage, looks to me like it might represent the conclusion of an amazing, almost two-decade-long experiment on the part of Pocket Books to create a connected continuity of Star Trek novels. It began in 2001 with the publication of S.D. Pe
Josh Reviews the Premiere of Star Trek: Picard!
Set decades after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the new series Star Trek: Picard reintroduces us to Jean-Luc Picard. No longer the captain of the Enterprise, or indeed a Starfleet officer of any kind, Picard lives out his days overseeing his family winery, assisted b
