Blogging the Next Generation: Picard — “The Last Generation”
This entry was written during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Without the labor of the actors currently on strike, this television series wouldn’t exist. To learn more, visit the SAG-AFTRA strike site. “Different, certainly; but certainly not better.” Almost thirty years ago, CityTV in Toronto books out the SkyDome (back when it was called that), and shows…

Blogging the Next Generation: Picard — “Vox”
This entry was written during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Without the labor of the actors currently on strike, this television series wouldn’t exist. To learn more, visit the SAG-AFTRA strike site. “We’ve been here before.” I’ve used the phrase “creative project” a lot while rewatching Star Trek: Picard. Many of my entries have gone to trying…

Blogging the Next Generation: Picard — NEMESIS rewatch

Blogging the Next Generation: “Sub Rosa”
“You stay on in this house, and you keep that damn candle, I’ll not be responsible for what happens!” Of all the crazy shit Star Trek: The Next Generation ever attempted, “Sub Rosa” might well be remembered as the craziest: the Gothic ghost story-cum-Harlequin romance novel in which Dr. Beverly Crusher – scientist, mother, and…

Review: STAR TREK GENERATIONS (Blogging The Next Generation Christmas Special)
“You know, there was a time when I wouldn’t hurt a fly. Then the Borg came… and they showed me that if there’s one constant in this whole universe, it’s death.”
