The year is 2381. They have been betrayed. Outlawed and alienated by Starfleet Command. Yet in times of war and uncertainty, the persecuted must endure. Ready to answer the urgent call for truth, justice and freedom. They are that crew.
After returning to base in San Francisco after a long diplomatic mission to Romulus, it was due to pure happenstance that the crew of the USS Theurgy managed to pick up transmissions that detailed a horrifying change to Starfleet Command.

These three individuals, along with an unknown number of others in the organization, were revealed through the transmissions to be impersonators of the people they once were; replaced by an unknown enemy.
Before the truth came out, the crew's secretive efforts to meet this threat was compromised, and they had to flee Earth in order to save their own lives. The USS Theurgy was hunted by their former collective fleet - the pursuers merely following orders and whatever fabricated truth Command had given them. The Theurgy escaped after an enduring two months gruesome chase through the Alpha Quadrant. Yet the truth be their witness, they would restore Starfleet to the Federation and the President, and enlighten their fellow brothers and sisters in the fleet about the immediate danger they unknowingly were in by carrying out the orders of Starfleet Command.

- Comment on SNW Season 4 Trailer - 16 June
- The official Strange New Worlds season 4 trailer has arrived. After the dismal third season, the bar is admittedly very low, so I definitely expect an improvement. Whether season 4 will keep the promise of being "more serious" is another question. Read my comment.#cdata_escape_encode#

- It probably isn't a surprise that the best starship designs in my view are all from classic series and movies. It may be interesting to look at my favorites from recent Trek though. Here are my 10 Favorite Starships of Modern Trek, including designs perhaps no one would have reckoned with.#cdata_...

- Updated Review of ENT: "Broken Bow" - 07 June
- After completing the updates of my Voyager reviews, I am now revisiting Enterprise. All of these reviews were written when the episodes first aired, and over the past 25 years my views on many of them may have changed. So let us start with the pilot episode, "Broken Bow".#cdata_escape_encode#
- New Article: The Evolution of Screen Ratios in Star Trek - 05 June
- Some Star Trek TV series fill the entire screen, some are letterboxed, and the classic ones need pillarboxing. A new article investigates The Evolution of Screen Ratios in Star Trek, summarizes the formats, points out oddities and discusses the technical and artistic reasons.#cdata_escape_encode#...

And if you like things the old-fashioned way, CTRL-click still opens the plain URL in a new tab. It's intentional that the...
- Updated Reviews of VOY: "Renaissance Man" and "Endgame" - 10 May
- I conclude my Voyager reviews with the playful but somewhat shallow "Renaissance Man" and the ambitious series finale "Endgame", which works better for me today than it did 25 years ago.#cdata_escape_encode#

- Updated Reviews of VOY: "Natural Law" and "Homestead" - 01 May
- Approaching the series finale. Here are the retro reviews of VOY: "Natural Law" and "Homestead" - one a fairly routine episode but with an interesting Prime Directive variation, the other a fitting and emotional farewell to Neelix despite some doubts.#cdata_escape_encode#

- Updated Reviews of VOY: "Author, Author" and "Friendship One" - 25 April
- New Voyager retro reviews are up: "Author, Author" and "Friendship One". The Doctor comes off as vain and insensitive, and the story still reframes him as the victim, while the second episode wastes a strong premise on a routine hostage plot and avoids its own key questions.#cdata_escape_encode#

- Updated Reviews of VOY: "Human Error" and "Q2" - 17 April
