If the welcome mat says "Back Off," you should definitely do that.

We're reminded more than once that evil needs help in order to flourish.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Paradise Syndrome

August 30, 2021Categories history, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Paradise Syndrome

Why did the obelisk-builders leave this world-saving knowledge with only one person?

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Enterprise Incident

August 23, 2021Categories history, risk, technology, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Enterprise Incident

In some ways, the episode is reminiscent of Mission: Impossible, which, like Star Trek, began its third season in the fall of 1968.

August 2, 2021August 4, 2021Categories books, control, history, metaphor, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Bread and Circuses

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Omega Glory

July 19, 2021Categories history, metaphor, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Omega Glory

"The Omega Glory" makes a nice double-feature-of-depression with "Patterns of Force."

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Patterns of Force
