The latest episode of Twenty Thousand Hertz tackles an interesting subject: The history, construction, and culture of the Klingon language.

Stick around at least until the first hook.

Jean-Luc Picard was originally based loosely on Horatio Hornblower, the fictional Royal Navy officer protagonist of the C.S. Forester novels

That was news to me.
With the gang back together, I guess I’ll at least give Picard 3 a shot.

Star Trek: Section 31 (2025)

Well, that was… a movie.

I love Michelle Yeoh but they did ya’ girl dirty with this one. Makes me wonder if the creators have ever seen Star Trek before or if anybody even bothered to proofread the screenplay after ChatGPT shat it out. I usually like stupid sci-fi shit but this film just made me sad.

I like the idea of expanding the Trek universe and seeing things outside of the Starfleet lens, but this just felt like slop.

And I guess Starfleet is cool with you being a genocidal mass-murderer as long as you do it in another dimension. I feel like this film is one giant giant plot hole for all of Star Trek

The early reviews were so dire I have no plan to even watch it now.

I remember saying to someone at a convention once they should do stand alone movies with actors in different roles, and/or possibly a genre variation of Star Trek. Like a JAG style show.

What I would do if I were in charge.

I’d make a show and call it Dax. It’s in the basic structure of Quantum Leap except it’s the Dax symbiote. Every episode is in a different time, place and host.

One episode, It’s Jadzia doing something awesome before DS9. In another one, it’s Curzon doing his Klingon nonsense. In others, it’s any host from Dax’s history past or future.

It’s animated. Every episode is done by a different team. The style varies wildly.
