October 4, 2021Categories books, history, technology, television1 Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky

Burying our heads in the sand is a path to ruin, when we should, instead, reach for the sky.

Not only have the Kelvans assumed unfamiliar forms, but they are far removed from their own species and all the cultural influence associated with it.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Return to Tomorrow

June 28, 2021Categories history, risk, technology, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Return to Tomorrow

The episode is primarily a study of two classic TOS themes: balance of power and risk.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: I, Mudd

April 6, 2021Categories books, history, technology, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: I, Mudd

The androids' ultimate undoing is their inability to comprehend the nuances of human desire and the unpredictability of human happiness.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Changeling

March 1, 2021Categories history, technology, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Changeling

Our actions will come back to us, sometimes sooner than we expect (or much later, where humpback whales are concerned).
