San Diego Comic Con 2024: Welcome Back! This year’s San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) is in the rearview mirror now, and once again, it was (as usual) another grand, exhausting celebration of pop culture. As a now 20-year veteran of SDCC, I do not camp out all night in lines hoping to get seats to…

The second season of “Star Trek: Prodigy” fires on all thrusters at Netflix…
******STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!****** After its unceremonious cancellation—and inexplicable removal—from the Paramount+ streaming service, “Star Trek: Prodigy” (PRO) has safely beamed down to Netflix, where it recently dropped its entire 20 episode second season for streaming on June 1st (nice not having to wait week-to-week for new episodes). I’ve long championed this underrated series, which is one…
A few words about the unjust cancellation (and removal) of “Star Trek: Prodigy”…
*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS***** Just as I was thankful to my Paramount+ subscription for last Thursday’s sensational episode of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” ( “Ad Astra Per Aspera” ), I was abruptly blindsided the next day by news that the streaming service was cancelling—and removing—the entirety of “Star Trek: Prodigy” from its platform, despite the fact…
“Star Trek: Prodigy” is the franchise’s most unexpected surprise…
*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!!***** Created by Kevin and Alex Hageman and overseen by an Alex Kurtzman-led team of producers, the Paramount+/Nickelodeon coproduction Star Trek: Prodigy (PRO) is a new animated Star Trek series consciously geared towards younger audiences, after the debut of the more adult (and arguably less mature) Star Trek: Lower Decks. Having recently finished 20…
Star Trek: Prodigy: “All the World’s a Stage” is an affectionate ode to fandom…
*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!!***** On the Good Ship… I’ve touched on my admiration for Star Trek: Prodigy (PRO) in this column before, and while I can’t promise episode-by-episode reviews, every now and then an episode might come along that prompts me to take a closer look. Most installments of this freshman Star Trek series (created by Dan…
Three new Star Trek trailers beamed down to New York Comic Con 2022…
*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!!****** Until last week’s New York Comic Con, there wasn’t a lot of solid news on the Star Trek front, beyond rumors floated on “Star Trek Day,” (September 8th). Then, suddenly, we got three new trailers for upcoming Star Trek. While two of the trailers are little more than teasers, the trailer for season…
Scanning all Star Treks (1966-present)…
*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS AHEAD!***** With the annual Star Trek Las Vegas convention (aka “the 56 Year Mission”) right around the corner, I thought this might be a good time to take an overview of the entire televised Star Trek franchise. I’d previously examined all of the Star Trek feature films, so I thought I might explore…
Star Trek: Prodigy S1.3; “Starstruck” finds its space legs…
*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!!***** Okay, I swore I wasn’t going to review every single episode of Paramount+’s new series “Star Trek: Prodigy,” but after last week’s double-length pilot (which had an uncanny “Star Wars Rebels” vibe) I was curious to see how/where the series would go after our heroes escaped from the prison mine and took their…
“Star Trek: Prodigy” is a Star Wars-like Star Trek aiming for ‘the next generation’ of fans…
Another Animated Trek. ParamountPlus has just released its 45 minute, double-length pilot (“Lost and Found”) of its newest youth-targeted animated series “Star Trek: Prodigy”, which once again sees Star Trek lore as inspiring to a new group of characters (and younger audiences). Of course, this is not the first time Star Trek has gone animated,…
