A Fistful of Strange Old Faces.

Since it's inception, Strange New Worlds has reintroduced some old favourites back into the Star Trek Universe, from giving M'Benga a full featured role as ships doctor to ending season 2 by bringing a young Scotty into the conflict with the Gorn. The trend will continue in season three with Nurse Chapel's relationship with Roger Korby - a thread that began with original series episode What Are Little Girls Made Of - as well as continue to tell the story of James Kirk's first steps into command while dropping by the Enterprise while assigned as the Farragut's first officer. Revisiting old characters isn't a trend that Strange New Worlds began, but it's one that's been embraced and while we'd all prefer for Star Trek to keep true to the 'new' part of the title, there's still some fun to be […]

A Fistful of Vulcan Emotions

Being a key element in the Sstar Trek lore from the very beginning, Vulcan mythology can often seem distorted by simplicity. Seen as a stoney emotionless species, their society is built on logic and science in helping them understand and navigate through the complexities of the universe. Though when it comes to them being emotionless, nothing could be farther from the truth. Once a volatile and primitive species, the Vulcan culture came from the teaching of Surak who learned to repress his violent urges and find peace within logical thought. Surak's teachings would become the basis for Vulcan core values for centuries. When it came to the original series, Vulcans were introduced through Spock – a half Vulcan with a human mother who often wrestled with the cultural norm of repressing emotions alongside the human half's more emotional state. Over […]

[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.

A Fistful Of Times The Prime Directive Was Ignored

Since the early years of Star Trek, the Prime Directive has been one of the key elements of Starfleet's exploration. Sometimes cited as General Order One, the Prime Directive was implemented as an ethical rule to ensure Starfleet and the Federation stayed neutral in the wider galaxy and ensured non interference in any culture or civilisation.

“The Needs Of The Many…” Retro Review: The Wrath of Khan

The first shot of the crew sitting at their regular stations, only for a new face – Saavik – in the big chair before everyone dies isn't quite the shock now as it was in 1982. Mainly as it's all too familiar to us. By now we all know the story. Admiral Kirk comes back to his old command to inspect Spock's class of cadets as they undertake field duty while, far out in the depths of the final frontier, a scouting mission to find a testing zone for a new terraforming system uncovers one of Kirk's deadliest foes... Considered by many to be the definitive Star Trek movie, the highly praised Wrath of Khan. Launching in cinema's in the US 39 years ago this month we've decided to put the return of 90's warlord Khan in the Retro Review […]

Star Trek’s Most Shocking Moments… (Comms Highlights)

Since the first series of Star Trek in 1966, the franchise has gone on to become one of the most iconic and influential global television franchises in history. Each series has delivered new surprises, discoveries and bold revelations, alongside its beloved characters and traits that are echoed throughout popular culture, over 50 years later. With stories of exploration, both of space and of ourselves, Star Trek has developed a reputation for it's deep and thoughtful moments and often times any modern iteration thrown aside for changing the formula. But shocks and surprises are nothing new, nor is action and suspense. Our bold heroes aren't as clean cut and perfect as we'd like to think. After a series of twists, turns and character flaws led the charge of Discovery's first season, in anticipation of the second – which is set to […]
