Series 6, Episode 5

Stardate: Unknown (2376)

First broadcast on Wednesday 20 October 1999

Sometimes everything just comes together — a dull script, routine design, a generic score, perfunctory direction, an uncharismatic leading man and a guest star’s strange and flaccid performance. Meanwhile, on Star Trek: Voyager, Tom screams at his long-suffering girlfriend after falling in love with a car or something.

Series 5, Episode 10

Stardate: Unknown

First broadcast on Thursday 19 December 2024

This week, we witness the ascension of Star Trek: Lower Decks, as it finishes its run on television and becomes a show fuelled by interdimensionality itself — decoupling its superpositions and spriralling off into an infinite number of unseen quantum possibilities. It’s funny and heartwarming and visually arresting, of course, and we can’t imagine what life would be like without it. Engage the core!

This week, Tendi and T’Lyn learn the usual Star Trek lesson about co-operation and competition, Boimler and Rutherford learn that Starfleet uniforms are less absorbent than is sometimes necessary, and Mariner learns that the real Inner Light experience comes from the friends (and murderers) we meet along the way.

In the middle distance, Kirk, Spock, Bones and a beautiful but completely passive woman are walking past a row of perspex tubes into a dark void. Watching them, their backs to us, are two tall aliens with domed, hairless heads with visible buttock cleavage at the base of their skulls.

A series of urgent production catastrophes this week, as we arrive at Paramount Studios with no set, no lines for our female guest star, and a script with no story and no plot. Can these omnipotent bum-headed aliens help us out?

It’s a two-shot. On the left is Hoshi, staring in an unfocused way  at the giant Xindi-Reptilian on the right. He’s taller and greener than her, and he’s touching her cheek tenderly with his left hand.

Stardate: Unknown (2154)

First broadcast on Wednesday 19 May 2004

It’s the second last episode of the Xindi arc, which can only mean one thing: a big, dumb spectacle in which we’re all trying to prevent a bunch of lizards wearing slinkies from hurling a massive lethal wiffle ball into planet Earth. Fortunately, Connor, Jolene and Billingsley are here with some acting for us to enjoy as well.

In the far, far distance, the USS Discovery is flying up into the massive wormhole that will take them 930 years into the future.

First broadcast on Thursday 11 April 2019
and Thursday 18 April 2019

The whole of Discovery Series 2 has been leading to this: a baffling and possibly ill-advised decision to catapult the show 930 years into the future. (Spoiler: it turns out better than we could have dared to imagine.) On the way though, we get to experience breathtaking CGI, some vertiginous camerawork, and more heartfelt and prolonged emotion than the entire history of the franchise to date.
