How the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Finale Brings Classic Lore Back to Canon

July 8th, 2022

This Star Trek: Strange New Worlds article contains spoilers. Expecting easter eggs and nods to Star Trek: The Original Series in any contemporary Trek series is normal. Discovery season 1 had a Gorn skeleton and a tribble. Picard season 2 basically hinged on the underrated TOS episode "Assignment: Earth." Lower Decks season 2 had an entire episode focused on how to pronounce "Mugato." And of course, nearly every episode of Strange New Worlds has had a least one wink-or-nod to something fr...

Star Trek: Discovery’s future tech is now indistinguishable from magic – and that’s a problem - TechRadar

December 27th, 2021

Spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery season 4 follow. Without futuristic technology, there would be no Star Trek. Sure, the innovative stories and famous Kirk/Spock/McCoy axis had something to do with the show’s early popularity. But, if the Enterprise didn’t have transporters, warp drive and subspace communication, its original five-year mission would have floundered before it had even left Spacedock. Back then, boundary-stretching tech was a narrative-driven and practical neces...

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 2. Other than Deep Space Nine and elements of Enterprise Season 3, the Star Trek series that cracked serialized storytelling for the Final Frontier was Star Trek: Discovery. And as anyone who has watched TV since 2003 can tell you: season-long mysteries often work best when they’re not actually what you thought they were.
