Strange New Worlds Season 4 Episode 3 takes us on a 180 degree turn (albeit psychedelic) from Episode 2. Alpha crew is in desperate need of some R & R before a very tense peace negotiations so of course they head to a pleasure planet (but not Risa) where the atmosphere sends them on each of their own "journeys". What ensues reminds us of a combination between The Hangover, Dude Where's My Car?, and other various ridiculous comedies. The real question is does this episode work? Let us know!

Strange New Worlds Season 4 Episode 2 brings us probably the most graphic, gory horror episode of Star Trek in the franchise's history. From the very beginning the tone of the episode gives us a very unsettling vibe that makes the audience squirm in their seats. This episode also reminds us a great deal of another science fiction/horror movie that we have mentioned in the past. Can you guess which one? Did this episode make you feel uneasy and uncomfortable? Let us know!

Star Trek Strange New Worlds returns for its fourth season with "Valles Marineris" and we cannot be more excited to bring you our recaps and reviews throughout the season! After 15 straight missions, Captain Pike and the Enterprise crew are given a "break" as they are sent on a routine scientific observation mission. What transpires is anything but routine...including the appearance of.....dinosaurs! This wild adventure is sure to be memorable for the entire family!

We're a couple days late but we thought what better way to Celebrate America's 250th Birthday than to discuss an episode of Star Trek that addresses the United States, its constitution, "Old Glory" and more! While this episode has its quirks and questions, it certainly addresses some very important topics. We hope you enjoy as we celebrate our country's milestone birthday with some Trek!

Our Starfleet's Finest? Spotlight Series brings us to DS9 with the amazing 2 part episode "The Maquis Pt. 1 & 2"! In this episode, we highlight Lt Commander Cal Hudson, a longtime close friend of Commander Sisko. Cal might be the most unique character in our Spotlight Series as he's not a Captain or Admiral. However, as mentioned in Part 1, he and Sisko are the two ranking officers along the Cardassian border and his role in the Federation's struggle with the Maquis is critical. But he doesn't agree with what the Federation has done in abandoning their citizens to keep the treaty...a price to high for the Maquis and for Cal. Cal Hudson is probably the most difficult character in our Starfleet's Finest series. Do you think he's one of Starfleet's Finest or not? Let us know!
