[Retro Review] Schisms; TNG Season 6

Alien abduction isn't exactly an innovative or creative plot device. Long before the X Files became the most popular brand of alien conspiracy in media, we had everything from the memorably dazzling abduction in Close Encounters of the Third Kind to the found footage wonder The McPherson Tape. For Star Trek, however, it's an odd concept to include. Humanity is a space faring species and some of our best pals are aliens. If one crept into your bedroom in the middle of the night and took you on board their ship, that's more of a diplomatic nightmare than a horrific conspiracy. So when it did happen in Next Gen's Schisms it all felt a bit weird and creepy. Mostly in a good way.

[Retro Review] The One With The Whales (1986)

Closing off an accidental trilogy, Kirk and his disgraced crew wrap up chilling out on Vulcan to go back to Earth for a bit of a wrist slapping. While they saunter back home in a stolen Klingon ship, an alien probe pops round for tea and biscuits on Earth. Except, there's neither tea nor biscuits buit a confusing sense of chaos as it sucks everything around it of power and soaks up Earths oceans for what seems like no apparent reason.

[Retro Review] The Search For Spock (1984)

But of course, the second outing was also a success, but director Nick Meyer had a feeling it would be and put in a caveat. Before his death, Spock mind melded with Dr McCoy and told him to remember...

[Retro Review] Unification; Next Generation S5E708

Over several era's and realities within the Star Trek Universe, there are very few who can tie them all together. Kirk may have met Picard thanks to the Nexus, and Riker may have joined the crew of the Cerritos, but before those events crossed over there was one landmark event that not only helped to bridge the worlds of the original series and the Next Generation, but would begin a thread that would help spawn both the Kelvin Timeline era as well as the new revival of Star Trek. During it's time the Next Generation had a cameo or two from the original series. Even right at the beginning as a much older Dr McCoy, now an Admiral, had a brief scene comparing Data to his old friend Spock in the first of many “passing the torch” moments for the […]
