SNW: "Terrarium" shines with character work for someone who has been sidelined until now and comes with a lot of Trek spirit.

Retro reviews of two (fantastic) Voyager episodes: VOY: "Blink of an Eye" and VOY: "Virtuoso".

I watched SNW: "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans" so you don't have to, and I regret every second.

Here is my review of SNW: "What is Starfleet?".

Updates and improvements in two more of Jörg's articles, Observations in TNG: "Contagion" and Observations in TNG: "The Royale".

Strange New Worlds can be wonderful without all the dumb fan service and gimmickry.

I'm late, but here is my comment on the premise of Starfleet Academy and the trailer, in light of an uncertain future of the franchise.

Ways to share news without going to social networks keep disappearing.

I tried to like it.

I have uploaded over 50 prop and costume photos, mostly of Starfleet Medical Equipment and of Abramsverse Sets and Props.

I may not make friends today, but I hated SNW: "A Space Adventure Hour".

Another article by Jörg, improved and updated: Observations in TNG: "The Nth Degree".

This week's SNW episode "Shuttle to Kenfori" is all about different kinds of monsters, most of which fail to convince me.

Continuing the gallery expansion with some 50 photos of Starfleet Communicators and Computers and of Alien Communicators and Computers.

Another major gallery update: 120 photos of Starfleet Weapons and of Alien Weapons.

Read my review of "Wedding Bell Blues", which in my view is the worst episode of the series so far, for its treatment of Spock among other reasons.

Strange New Worlds is back after almost two years.

Next round of gallery updates: well over 100 photos of 22nd & 23rd Century Starfleet Uniforms and 24th Century Starfleet Uniforms.

I will gradually supplement the Galleries with prop photos from auctions and with publicity photos of sets.

Everything is set at EAS for Strange New Worlds season 3, which will begin on July 17 with two episodes, "Hegemony II" and "Wedding Bell Blues".

On another technical note, the Follow-it newsletter doesn't work any longer (it is a paid plan now).

Twitter/X has cut all ties with the outside world and doesn't allow me to auto-post EAS news any more.

Several new entries and many other improvements in another article: Observations in TNG: "Identity Crisis".

Two more old articles by Jörg are up to date now.

The new Strange New Worlds season 3 trailer promises a lot of fun but also exemplifies some inherent problems of the series.
