In Home Soil, a sentient grain of sand threatens to take over and destroy the ship. It’s like Deanna Troi looked into Anakin Skywalker’s mind, found his worst nightmare, and… made an episode of a TV show about it. It’s …

Memory Alpha This episode really annoyed me, and weirdly not because of any of the kids who are in it. It’s just that the whole conflict at the centre could have easily been avoided if the characters had any intelligence. …

Memory Alpha I’ve always found Star Trek’s old person make-up very disturbing (when they take a young actor and apply prosthetics to age them), more so than any of the aliens or other stuff. At first I thought it was …

1×07 ‘Lonely Among Us’ was… it was dull. There were some dog and lizard people, something about a cloud, Data had a pipe, there was a fish… and that’s all I remember. Even though I only watched it yesterday, I’ve …
