    Larry vs. Star Trek: Discovery 3-8 “The Sanctuary”

    By Larry Young On December 3, 2020
    The thing that drew a global audience to Star Trek in the first place was its… well, if not rosy view of the future, certainly an attainable one, with a little clarity of purpose and good ol’ fashioned elbow grease.

    Larry vs. Star Trek: Discovery 3-4 – “Forgot Me Not”

    By Larry Young On November 5, 2020
    This week’s episode was just great. I’ve said elsewhere that they should just let Supervising Producer Alan McElroy write all the episodes, because you can tell he understands Star Trek. He makes the cool stuff awesome and makes the annoying stuff make sense, so you can be annoyed but at least you can see it’s [...]
