    They Should Make a Star Trek Show About the Earth-Romulan War

    In a previous post, I talked about the premature cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise. That was gutting for a few reasons, but the worst part is that we never saw the Earth-Romulan War that informed the formation of the United Federation of Planets. Still, there might be an opportunity here. A reunion/reboot of Star Trek:…

    How to Remake the Phantom Menace Part 4

    A no-spoiler version of the Prequel Trilogy Imagine how awesome it would be to watch the entire Star Wars saga in chronological order and still be surprised by all the original trilogy’s twists and reveals.

Who wouldn’t love the idea of exploring and settling alien worlds? It’s the next obvious step in humanity’s journey and would open up a near-infinite pool of resources. But space…

  • How to Remake the Phantom Menace Part 1

    A no-spoiler version of the Prequel Trilogy (Part 2 available here) I want to preface this by saying that I love the prequel trilogy; I grew up watching them. They don’t especially need to be remade or replaced. But they do have problems, which distract from an otherwise great story about the collapse of democracy…

  • Lower Decks is coming to an end

    (Mini Post) Star Trek Lower Decks had its penultimate episode a few days ago, and since the show is coming to a premature end, I want to briefly talk about it. I really enjoyed this show, and I’m a little sad that it’s over. This will be quite a short post. The episode followed William…
