Episodes
In this episode, we take a deep dive into Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan—the film saved Star Trek, as it could be argued. This movie embraced the aging of its characters, leading to a very meaingful character arc for Kirk, which only means more to me as I get older.
Let's geek out over the Star Trek movie that many still hold up as their favourite.
Today we start a new series looking at the original series Star Trek movies, starting with Star Trek The Motion Picture. This is a film with very clear weaknesses, but also some strengths. Let's take an honest look at what I like, and what I don't like about this movie.
This is an author's commentary for the first book in my Jewel of The Stars series. Think of it like the director's commentary on a DVD.
In this episode, I discuss the Babylon 5 animated movie The Road Home. How does it stack up as a Babylon 5 story? Let's dig in and find out.
Blood of the Stars is an epic fantasy novel, the first of a series by debut author Karyne Norton.

Bonus Episode - My thoughts on Indianna Jones and The Dial of Destiny.
Today, we're looking at the final episode of Star Trek Continues. "To Boldly Go. Part 2."
So how does this episode hold up against other series finales such as "All Good Things" and "What You Leave Behind". And how well does this episode tie together Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
There's a lot to talk about, including some cool stories shared with me by director James Kerwin.

...We're taking a brief side-quest from our regular coverage of Star Trek Continues, to look at an episode of Star Trek New Voyages, because it sets up the back-story of Kirk and Carol Marcus's relationship, and I just like to throw it in there when I'm doing a re-watch of Star Trek Continues.

In today's Star Trek Continues podcast, we talk about the episode "Embracing The Winds" which tries to address Janice Lester's claims that "your world of Starship captains doesn't welcome women" in the episode Turnabout Intruder.

While not as memorable as the big tentpole episodes, "The White Iris" is a true classic. This is a very emotional character-driven episode that advances Kirk's arc and adds depth to a number of previous Star Trek episodes. This episode is a great example of what makes Star Trek Continues so special.

Lolani is the first of the really focussed "issue" episodes of Star Trek Continues. It examines the theme of slavery, but even moreso, the theme of apathy in the face of evils such as slavery.
