Review - “The Omega Glory” Remastered
Once again it befalls me to offer the defense of a not-very-well-thought-of episode of original Trek. When most people bring up “The Omega Glory,” it’s to do their impression of William Shatner’s inimitable (well, actually, VERY imitatable) delivery of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution at the episode’s infamous climax: “WE…THE PEOPLE…of the unitedstates…do ORDAIN […]
Review: Star Trek: Klingons — Blood Will Tell #3
Klingon High Council member Kahnrah and his granddaughter, K’Ahlynn, continue their discussion of Klingon experiences with the Federation. When espionage fails miserably as a tool for expanding the Empire (Blood Will Tell #2), the Klingons begin a campaign of conquest by subterfuge on the planet Neural (TOS, A Private Little War). Kinsman Krell, commander of […]
Review - “Plato’s Stepchildren” Remastered
It’s one thing for television producers to torture their fictional characters, but it’s quite another when they torture their hapless viewers. Unfortunately, that’s the result of this pointless, turgid, plodding episode. “Plato’s Stepchildren” is among the “bitter dregs” of the third season, if not the entire series.
Here’s the plot: The intrepid Enterprise crew responds to […]
Review: “Spock’s Brain” Remastered
“Welcome to Bad Science Fiction Theatre…”
“I am your host, Leonard Pinth-Garnell.”
Some readers of this site have expressed concern at what they consider the undue flippancy with which I’ve summarized some previous episodes of “Star Trek.” Therefore I shall endeavor, this week, to stick strictly to the facts of the plot in my synopsis.
Review: Star Trek: Klingons — Blood Will Tell #1 and #2
As part of his valiant efforts to keep the Trek community informed, Anthony has foolishly graciously invited me to contribute reviews of Star Trek comics to the Trek Movie Report. What was he thinking?
We’ll get started by catching up with IDW Publishing’s second mini-series, Star Trek: Klingons — Blood Will Tell. The first two issues […]
Review of “Bread and Circuses” Remastered
"Exactly in some ways, different in others" So describes the similarities to Earth of planet 892-IV (also known as Maga Roma). The Enterprise has found a 20th Century Roman Empire and Hodkin’s Law of Parallel Planetary Development strikes again. “Bread and Circuses” has it all—a high concept plot, richly drawn characters, humor, suspense, action, a […]
Review “Shore Leave” Remastered
From the opening moment of “Shore Leave” you can tell this will be a different type of Star Trek episode. Kirk’s mistaking a backrub from the lovely Yeoman Barrows to be one from Mr. Spock shows the whimsical and subtlety sexually charged nature of one of the more fun outings for the Enterprise’s crew. Down […]
