So episode five has come and gone. Podcast listeners might have noticed I was not present for this review. Sorry, I was too busy rending my garments and crying into a pillow, my Spuhura shipper heart utterly broken. Naw, I actually had tickets to s…

A question I receive every couple of weeks from my seven year old. It hasn't stopped. Not since Prodigy's first season concluded back in December. Picking Cecily up from the bus? 'When is Prodigy coming back?" Watching Bluey? 'When is Prodigy comin…

Strange New Worlds Season Two Takes Us to Such Great Heights (and Maybe a Few Lows) In a way, I feel very connected to  Strange New Worlds.  While I’ve enjoyed  Star Trek  for my entire life, it was only in March of 2020 that I truly felt I became …

Fandom Toxicity Bites the Hand that Feeds I’ve noticed something within the Star Trek fandom in the last few weeks. That is the incredible number of poor takes on   Strange New Worlds.  When the show was first announced, the fandom rejoiced over Ca…

Final Frontier Nostalgia Meets Next Generation Melodies I never expected Star Trek Picard season three to hit me as hard as it did in all the right places. And yet here I am writing the review of the show's score on the eve of its series finale, de…

By Ensign Haven On Thursday, March 2nd, 2023, we learned that Star Trek Discovery was coming to its end. I have been sitting here in snowy Ontario, Canada, watching Star Trek as I often do, and as many people other people surely are, I am saddened …

I'm sitting here on a rainy Sunday afternoon, just having finished the first six episodes of Picard season three. While I was thinking of a byline for this spoiler-free review, the news came out of Annie Wersching's (24, The Rookie, Star Trek Pica…

Maybe a TNG film IS what we need... I'm kidding. During Strange New Pod's New York Comic Con wrap-up, we talked about how the idea of another Next Generation film is troublesome. Especially when there are newer Trek shows on Paramount Plus like Dis…

Has Alex Kurtzman Been Playing the Long Game With Sisko's Return? Maybe I've been spending too much time around Girafe. Or maybe it's our shared love for the Romulans and their secretive ways, but a few weeks ago, as I was prepping for the new seas…

By Karyn Brown **Warning, this article contains heavy spoilers for Strange New Worlds episode 106. We recommend watching before reading this.** Star Trek has long drawn inspiration from literature for its episodes, sometimes more obviously than ot…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture has always been the runt of the litter when it comes to Star Trek movies, right? People have been saying the same things about the film since it first hit theaters in 1979: 'it's beautiful but so boring, 'the score is…

Strange New Worlds feels like a homecoming, and that's both beautiful and bittersweet. Growing up in Queens as a kid, we didn't have much. Furniture was scarce, I spent a lot of time sleeping on the floor, and the overall conditions were not great.…

Some if not most of my earliest memories as a child are not of playgrounds or family excursions. No, those memories in my hippocampus are occupied by viewings of The Next Generation and countless VHS viewings of The Undiscovered Country. To say that…

By Alexandra Denton Since the crew of Star Trek: Prodigy was first revealed, much excitement has abounded around them for various reasons. An entirely non-Human cast, Hologram Janeway, the excellent looking animation style, etc. But even from the b…

By Alexandra Denton Despite what a small few might vitriolically say, we live in the biggest time ever to be a Star Trek fan. Five shows in active development and production, with at least two film projects in the works, never has the franchise r…
