Update
Not a whole lot new to update this time. This one is going to be mostly media links!
Video
- Star Trek: Picard, Season 3
- The third season resolution of the story finally pays off with some classic TNG action.
- Star Trek: The Next Generation Reviews - Reverse Angle
- I like TNG a lot, but it’s true that many of the episodes are quite bad. I have enjoyed the thorough roasting these reviewers have given it while providing a well-considered analysis of each episode at the same time. I think what kept me coming back was their constant laughter as they crack up at how ridiculous some of the plot points (and their own jokes) are.
- A truly absurd amount of YouTube videos from various channels
