Star Trek: Picard “Seventeen Seconds” – Review

With Frakes at the helm, you knew that “Seventeen Seconds” was going to be 17 seconds because he’s the type of person to take these things seriously. Directed by the serial leg-cocker himself, “Seventeen Seconds” had to be the early emotional heart…

Star Trek: Picard “Disengage” – Review

Part 2 “Disengage,” that’s what she said last night when she had a sore head. Directed once again by Aarniokoski, this comes weeks after he directed the S.W.A.T. episode “Lion’s Share” about kids wanting to kill some developers for basically stealing their…

Star Trek: Picard “The Next Generation” – Review

These are the voyages of the Starship Titan-A. Written by Terry Matalas, season 3 of Picard is helmed by the new showrunner to close out the chapter of Picard (the show) and Picard (the bald bloke). Directed by Doug Aarniokoski, Aarniokoski returns…

Star Trek: Picard “Farewell” – Review

“Did my donations not buy me five minutes of face time,” listen, Budget Musk, your donations wouldn’t get you unzipped and fondled. Again directed by Michael Weaver, “Farewell” is written by producer Christopher Monfette from “Penance” and “Assimilation,” who co-wrote the episode…

Though we still have a bit of time before the Halloween season, I found myself looking forward to the newest entry in the Alien franchise, especially after seeing the initial trailer which promised a return to the simple plotline of the original…

Star Trek: Picard “Mercy” – Review

Lip service lesbians, lip-locking South Americans, and Temo/Wish or whatever Fox William Mulder. This week, I don’t have to say much on the technical and production side: Joe Menendez returns to direct with Kristen Beyer writing her final episode alongside Cindy Appel.…

Star Trek: Picard “Monsters” – Review

Oh good, I get to tell another man’s traumatic story as a result of everything we’ll see. Directed by Joe Menendez, Menendez isn’t known for much if I’m honest. An episode or two of a thing here, an episode or two of…

Star Trek: Picard “Two of One” – Review

Deux deviennent un, since everyone wants to pretend they know French during the Olympics. Once again directed by Frakes we’re continuing with Cindy Appel but joined by Jane Maggs this time, and I believe this is where Matthew Okumura got a promotion.…
