Science fiction earns its ideas by taking them seriously. These articles cover world building, the physics and logic that hold a story together, and writing futures that feel earned instead of decorated.

Star Trek: Discovery (2017-2024) Review

September 11, 2026

Star Trek: Discovery rates minus 10 on the rewatch scale. Every episode across five seasons rates a 1 or less. It had fifty years of lore, a guaranteed audience and an unlimited budget, and it is a pile of shit…

Star Trek: Enterprise (2001-2005) Review

September 11, 2026

Star Trek: Enterprise rates 4 for its first two seasons and 8 for its last two. A completely mixed bag that spent two years not knowing what it was, committed to a serialized arc in season three, became the show…

Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020-2024) Review

September 11, 2026

Star Trek: Lower Decks rates 5 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Mediocre, and a good try. A genuinely clever premise, the most stable production in modern Star Trek, and a show whose comic style and comic content are…

Star Trek: Picard (2020-2023) Review

September 11, 2026

Star Trek: Picard rates 1 for its first two seasons and at most a 5 for its third. Awful from front to back. The first two have nothing in them worth defending, and the third, which almost everybody else rates…

Star Trek: Prodigy (2021-2024) Review

September 11, 2026

Star Trek: Prodigy carries no rating here because I have not watched it, and barely knew it existed. That turns out to be the point. Its second season holds a perfect hundred percent with critics and ninety-six with audiences, and…

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (2026) Review

September 11, 2026

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy rates minus ten thousand on the rewatch scale. It is the worst thing I have ever watched, film or television, and that includes Battlefield Earth. Pure garbage. Horseshit. Something written by small children with crayons on…
