As Trekkies have we become spoiled by modern TV?
Star Trek: The Next Generation recently celebrated its 33rd birthday. It first aired in the US on September 28th 1987 with 'Encounter At Farpoint'. This got me thinking. Have we become spoiled and a bit selfish by modern TV? Nowadays we get new programmes within a day or two, sometimes a week of it airing... Continue Reading →
The Second Golden Age of Trek (Part 2)
A couple of months ago I wrote a blog piece on how we are currently enjoying The Second Golden Age of Trek. I want to expand on that a bit more. As we all know, Star Trek officially began in 1966, with the animated series airing in the early 70's. From 1979 onwards we had... Continue Reading →
Star Trek: Lower Decks
The newest Trek series, Star Trek Lower Decks, an animated sci-fi/comedy show set on board the USS Cerritos with a focus on low ranking crew members is set to air in the US from August 6th. No international date has been set yet and with less than a month to go international fans are wondering... Continue Reading →
Thank You Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D!
With all this downtime my mental health has been getting worse. It was very bad pre-pandemic! I've tried lots of different things but one thing that does help is re-watching some of my favourite shows. I've found some almost impossible to watch at the moment. I don't know why but those that I have watched.... Continue Reading →

Space: Above and Beyond
Lockdown 2020: Like many people I've spent a bit of time binge watching TV shows. Unlike some, I'm watching shows from the past that I enjoy. Much of modern TV doesn't appeal to me. I've just finished a complete re-watch of Space: Above and Beyond created by Glen Morgan and James Wong (both of X-Files... Continue Reading →
Strange New Worlds Part 2
Since yesterday's announcement of another new live-action Star Trek series I've been doing lots of thinking about the possible potential of the new show. From what we already know its set 10 years prior to Kirk taking command of the Enterprise. I'm assuming for now that it's set in the period after the events of... Continue Reading →
My ‘First Contact’ with Star Trek
Recently on social media, many people have been recalling their first experience with Star Trek so I thought I'd tell my story from a toddler up to aged 16. Star Trek first aired in the UK in the very late 60s and was used to fill gaps between series of Doctor Who. Trek was never... Continue Reading →
Charlie’s Angels 2019
Firstly let me state that yes, I'm a man and I know this film wasn't really aimed at me. I totally understand why this film needed to be made, not that it needs validation from me as a man but that's the point- it's been a male-dominated world for too long and a change is... Continue Reading →
