I watched Season 1 of Star Trek: Lower Decks. It’s made up of ten 25 minutes episodes and it’s the second animated series of the whole brand following Star Trek: The Animated Series (TAS), whose two seasons came out between 1974 and 1975. If I had to describe Lower Decks after watching the entire first … More Star Trek: Lower Decks: Season 1 Review
Grazie all’amico Lucius de Il Zinefilo (e di svariati altri blog), sono riuscito a vedere uno dei più recenti prodotti targati Star Trek: Lower Decks. Si tratta, almeno per adesso, di una stagione da dieci episodi da 25 minuti scarsi l’uno ed è la seconda serie animata del brand dopo le due stagioni di The … More Star Trek: Lower Decks: recensione della prima stagione
In Resolutions there are certain things that work, and many others that don’t. Which is something that actually defines the whole Season 2 of Star Trek: Voyager, which offered us some quality peaks (like Deadlock and Meld) together with some terrible episodes (above all, Elogium, Parturition, and Threshold). But let’s get to Resolutions! Chakotay and … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E25, Resolutions
Almost at the end of the second season of Star Trek: Voyager, one thing is certain: in the Delta quadrant, teleportation hardly ever works, and when it does, it’s a mess. In Tuvix, two crew members go missing, and they’re two of my favorites: Tuvok and Neelix! This reminds me of another law of the … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E24, Tuvix (English)
The Thaw is a very strange episode. It starts well, in a very classic way, and the finale is amazing, but for the most part I had the irresistible urge to smash the TV screen by throwing things at it. Let’s talk about the plot of the episode. The USS Voyager arrives at a planet … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E23, The Thaw
Here’s comes another so-and-so episode! Yep, Innocence is fairly dull, and, among other things, its protagonist makes a mistake that is not in line with his nature at all. I’m talking about the legendary Tuvok, but unfortunately the quality of the previous Vulcan-centric episode is nowhere to be found! Here’s the plot. Tuvok and the … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E22, Innocence
After the disappointing conclusion of the longest story arc developed so far in Star Trek: Voyager (see Investigations), here’s a great, compelling, well thought out and well made episode! Deadlock surely relies on a huge technobabble, but it manages to excite and brings home a story full of amazing twists. The trick of duplicating the … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E21, Deadlock
This is a hard review to write! Investigations seems to start off in the worst possible way that is, with the equivalent of Fun with Flags with Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory: Neelix (let me repeat for the n-th time that Ethan Phillips is great, by the way) begins a daily TV program … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E20, Investigations
And here’s the third appearance of the Vidiians, the first in the second season, some excellent villains whose concept was also used for the Son’a race in Star Trek: Insurrection (the 1998 film directed by Jonathan Frakes). But this time things are very different: contrary to what happened in Phage and in Faces, in Lifesigns … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E19, Lifesigns
Wow! This episode took me by surprise! It deals with very profound themes, and it has a couple of amazing special guests: not only John de Lancie, but even Jonathan Frakes as the most beloved bearded Star Trek commander! Here’s the plot of Death Wish, the eighteenth episode of the second season of Star Trek: … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E18, Death Wish
