This week we take another look at immortality and androids in “Requiem for Methuselah.” I really liked it while Eugene hated it, so your mileage may vary. Next week I’ll be escaping the psychological trauma of “The Way to Eden” by heading to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with my mom and sister. (It still doesn’t seem far enough, does it.) It [...]
Scotty gets to shine in last week’s in “The Lights of Zetar,” a seriously creepy outing penned by none other than Shari Lewis (of Lamb Chop fame) and her husband. It’s a standout of this season so far, which means even less than you probably think it does. More importantly, Eugene and I are supremely proud to announce the launch [...]
This week’s re-watch: “That Which Survives,” famously underutilizing the beautiful Lee Meriwether as a rogue computer defense program. Like most of this season’s efforts, it has an intriguing premise that it entirely fails to deliver on. The real news, however, is that this week Eugene and I will be launching Laugh Treks. We had talked last summer about ways to [...]
That’s the original title for “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield,” this week’s Star Trek Re-Watch over at The Viewscreen. I had been looking forward to this one since we started–I mean, is anything as iconic as the black-and-white cookie faces except maybe the Guardian of Forever?–but while I appreciated the attempt and generally enjoyed it, it just doesn’t impress.

Ack, I am so behind! The last two Star Trek Re-Watches are up: “Gamesters of Triskelion” and “A Piece of the Action.” Perhaps more importantly, the Tribbles Week contest winners have been announced! We really had a lot of fun reading everyone’s submissions, and since so few people wound up entering, I decided to just make enough tribbles for everyone [...]
Sometimes I surprise myself. Happy April Fools Day!
An utterly tedious, baffling, and stupid episode. I wish I had more to say about it, but it just left me cold. What a waste of Julie Newmar! Read our review over at Tor.com.
