Star Trek: Picard “Et in Arcadia Ego” – Review

So Picard is dead and Evil Spock disappears. That’s the entertaining, satisfying narrative that has been broken up into 10 episodes (9 stories). Let’s get the convoluted mess of credits out of the way, Akiva Goldsman directs both parts of “Et in…

Star Trek: Picard “Broken Pieces” – Review

Warning: The following article may contain language not suitable for all. Reader’s discretion is advised. I was about to say “Two out of nine ain’t bad,” but the reality is that six and a half hours in, bad would be putting it…

Star Trek: Picard “Nepenthe” – Review

Living in the woods with Marina Sirtis and in your garden you’ve a stone wood-fired pizza oven? Living the dream, living the damn dream Riker, living the dream. Written by Chabon and Sam Humphrey, “Nepenthe” is the only writing credit for Samantha…

Star Trek: Picard “The Impossible Box” – Review

If his name isn’t Narek by his own admission, it must be Evil Spock. After last week’s piece of terrible Star Trek, which I’m still reserved to even call it that, “The Impossible Box” has editor Nick Zayas helming the story that…

Star Trek: Picard “Stardust City Rag” – Review

Yippie, garish costume design by drugs fired out of a shotgun. The first episode not to be written by Chabon, “Stardust City Rag” is written by Kirsten Beyer, and she’s only ever written for Star Trek, though sadly that also means she’s a…

Star Trek: Picard “Absolute Candor” – Review

I think it is appropriate that when I sat down to write and watch Picard today, I cocked my leg over my chair and shouted “Riker!” We’re finally moving forward, we’ve got some proper Picard-ing going on, there is some decent direction, and it…

Star Trek: Picard “The End is the Beginning” – Review

Can we move on please, I’m getting bored of the setup! This episode is directed once again by Hanelle M Culpepper and written by Michael Chabon. This time Chabon is joined by James Duff, with Nick Zayas story editing. Duff is probably…

Star Trek: Picard “Maps and Legends” – Review

Warning: The following article may contain language not suitable for all. Reader’s discretion is advised. Fantastic, I’m sure the working Joes from Alien: Isolation did nothing wrong 14 years ago on Mars. Oh right, that was the entire point last episode with the TV…

Star Trek: Picard “Remembrance” – Review

With more writers and story editor credits for one episode than there are brain cells that put together for “Et in Arcadia Ego,” I’m sure “Remembrance” can start and continue a great sequel series. Sarcasm aside, Picard was one of the shows I was…

Star Trek: Picard Got Another New Trailer

I think it is an understatement to say I (and my sci-fi-loving colleagues) are excited for the next short while of sci-fi. We’ve got The Orville Season 3 on the corner tempting us over, and also in early March, we’ve got Picard returning for another adventure. Well, not…
