Star Trek is the world's most popular and long-running science fiction series. In all its incarnations it has been running for over thirty years, with five television series, eight motion pictures and countless merchandise to its name. What can I say on a Star Trek page that's not already been said somewhere else? Well, very little. The Web already has ten times its fair share of Star Trek information and media, and you'll hardly begin by looking here, will you? However, what I can present is my opinion. I intend to review episodes every so often - not on a regular basis, but whenever there is something that I feel the need to vent my spleen about. Also I'll present here some links to the very best Star Trek resources. And maybe a very small selection of facts that I find interesting. All Good Things (25/5/97) OK, so I'm just putting this in to have something in the NextGen space. A great episode, filled with subtle references for the fans. Some great lines ("It's time to put an end to your trek through the stars" "Just another temporal anomaly, just another day at the office") and one spectacular battle sequence. Great to revisit the 1st season era as well, with old uniforms and sets, and a babbling Data. Rating: five temporal anomalies out of five. Rejoined (25/5/97) This was recently shown here in Britain by the BBC and, to everybody's surprise, was uncut. The BBC show Deep Space 9 in a 6pm slot and, therefore, sometimes have to censor Star Trek (they cut the mother alien scene in Conspiracy TNG, and the stabbing in Phantasms TNG). This controversial episode was therefore a prime candidate for censorship. Thankfully they left the scene intact. The story was an interesting and thought-provoking one, although I thought the execution of it was slightly tedious (as with most Dax stories). Good acting by Terry Farrell in a difficult role, and the 'walking on the force-field' scene was impressive. A good episode. Rating: four homosexuality allegories out of five. Note that the best DS9 guide on the Web is coming this way soon... Future's End (25/5/97) I just saw this on video and was quite impressed. A watchable Voyager at last! This shows signs of improvement. An interesting story with a major flaw - but most time-travel episodes do have problems. They're also usually great. This was a very good episode, but I can't help thinking how much better it would be if it was a NextGen episode. Rating: four Bill Gates clones out of five.
