#208: A Fury Scorned (TNG #43)

In today’s episode, when a colony world’s sun is about to go nova, Picard is stuck holding a plate at a buffet of Sophie’s choices. But if Data can walk as big a golf game as he talks, they might not have to make any of them. How many people have a personal connection to this planet? Is the solution somewhere out in the ocean? And hasn’t anyone ever told Picard that “Cs get degrees”? All this and more in A Fury Scorned, the book that skims a little off the top.

#207: Flashback (VOY episode)

In today’s episode, there’s repressed memories in that nebula, and they knock Tuvok on his whoopsy but good. To save himself, he’ll have to show Captain Janeway the life of the mind and bring the bad vibes front and center to put them down before they kill him. How is Kes affected by the false memory? Can Janeway handle Vulcan coffee? And what’s the actual deal with cordrazine? All this and more in Flashback, the book that stops for a fireside chat with Amelia Earhart.

Happy holidays, here’s the RSS feed

With the move to more sporadic, unstructured posting since entering grad school, some have asked for the RSS feed. Well, I found it way at the bottom of the page, so here it is more conveniently at the top. I’ll leave it stickied here for a while, then maybe move it over to the sidebar.

Happy holidays, and of course, live long and prosper.

#206: Mosaic (VOY event)

In today’s episode, when a Kazon ambush forces Voyager to retreat into a nebula to recover, Janeway takes a moment to make her own retreat into her past. But while she waxes nostalgic, half her crew remains stranded on a planet that’s about to start buggin’ out. Does Janeway eat raw seasonings? What’s the dead sport of the future this week? And who needs therapy when you’ve got the ice bucket challenge? All this and more in Mosaic, or, Kathryn & Hobbes.

#205: The Heart of the Warrior (DS9 #17)

In today’s episode, Captain Sisko has to give up some of his finest staff for an espionage mission the day before a nerve-wracking peace conference. But it’ll be worth it if they can unlock the secret to making milk no longer do a body good. Is Captain Janeway a fashion trendsetter? How many kinds of prisons are there, really? And why does Bashir have to ask Garak how to do his own job? All this and more in The Heart of the Warrior, the book that makes Dobby a free alien.
