A Fistful of Connections

Connected universe on screen have been a bigger deal now more than ever before now that one of the most popular, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has embraced Marvel's diverse history before it was it's own singular media empire. Shared universes have always been a bit of a cool thing to see on screen whether it was a subtle one such as Michael Keaton reprising his Jackie Brown role as Ray Nicollet in Out of Sight, to spin offs such as Frasier bringing in the old Cheers gang, there's a novelty to seeing the fictional worlds interconnect with each other from time to time.. For Star Trek's divergence to telling a story about another crew, the shared universe began with unsubtle hints that this was the same universe as Kirk's adventures with DeForest Kelly in aged make up as retired Admiral […]

[Q2&A] The Academy

It's become a thing of legend that Star Trek fans are the type of fans who like to know the details. All the details. It's a stereotype that's been enhanced by our own fandom. We had the Nitpickers Guide series. We had Technical manuals. We had fans writing to production staff to ask how transporters worked. In turn we had the infamous 'Get A Life' sketch and tributes to the fandoms from news pieces of people doing jury duty in uniform to shows like Futurama introducing the Star Trek church (in a rather affectionate nod!).

[Sci Fi Sunday] Quantum Leap Season 2 on Paramount+

Returning to an old classic can be a mixed bag. Especially when the ideas a revival of a cult classic without any of the original stars returning.

Ships of the Line

[Ships Of The Line] Prometheus Class

Starfleet may be all about exploration at it's core, but peace isn't it's only mission. As the first line of defence for the Federation, the fleet has engaged in as much war time as it has on missions of peace from bitter wars with the Klingons and Romulans, to invasions from the Borg and Dominion. While some ships are designed to be travelling research labs and others comfortable homes for long term exploration missions, some are built to fight.
