#210: Star Trek: First Contact (TNG movie)

In today’s episode, when Picard starts handing the Borg a loss at Earth, they switch to plan B: un-inventing the game. Now the Enterprise-E has to follow the Borg back into the past and make sure history’s most important pilot makes it to the air. Did redshirts peak with this installment? Who’s holding Picard accountable? And which doctor took a greater timeline liberty: McCoy or Crusher? All this and more in Star Trek: First Contact, the book that needs to clean up its Klingon armory.

#209: Saratoga (DS9 #18)

In today’s episode, Sisko and his old chums head to Mars to celebrate a new version of their old ship, but one of them has a dangerous detour in mind. Meanwhile, Quark tries to do Kira a favor, but when he gets waylaid by Ferengi chicken pox, it’ll be up to Odo to close the sale. Can he pass Rom’s pop quiz? Does the counselor need a counselor? And why do some Star Trek authors choose their worst material to rehash? All this and more in Saratoga, the book where the fake culprit is more shocking than the real one.

#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.
