Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Let That Be Your Last Battlefield

November 22, 2021Categories control, history, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Let That Be Your Last Battlefield

"Battlefield" remains one of Star Trek's finest episodes and a brilliant commentary on the futility of discrimination.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Whom Gods Destroy

November 15, 2021Categories disruption, history, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Whom Gods Destroy

Persistence in building a society of equals is what sets the Federation apart from Garth and his acolytes.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Elaan of Troyius

November 8, 2021Categories history, television1 Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Elaan of Troyius

Elaan is essentially being sent into slavery, and no one even thinks to question the premise.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Empath

November 1, 2021Categories business, history, science, symbolism, technology, television2 Comments on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Empath

At some point the pro-human hyperbole becomes excessive, an over-the-top attempt to define humans as the chosen people among the entire galaxy.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Wink of an Eye

October 25, 2021Categories history, science, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Wink of an Eye

The greatest frustration with "Wink of an Eye": It leaves no room for a happy ending.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Plato’s Stepchildren

October 18, 2021Categories academia, books, history, science, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Plato’s Stepchildren

We are witnessing scenes of torture and we are supposed to be uncomfortable.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Tholian Web

October 11, 2021Categories technology, television2 Comments on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: The Tholian Web

The "stand by your leader" philosophy of "The Tholian Web" only works in the TOS world of generally responsible adults.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky

October 4, 2021Categories books, history, technology, televisionLeave a 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.

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Day of the Dove

September 27, 2021Categories control, disruption, history, metaphor, television2 Comments on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Day of the Dove

"Only a fool fights in a burning house."

Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Spectre of the Gun

September 20, 2021Categories history, open mind, televisionLeave a Comment on Boldly Rewatching the Voyages: Spectre of the Gun

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