Star Trek: Picard season 2 is teed up beautifully in the premiere

Episode by episode, "Discovery" continues to entertain, but the season story arc has utterly flopped.

Talk of Quentin Tarantino heading to the Alpha Quadrant has swirled around for the past few years, largely focusing on how the iconic director’s

Netflix has almost 2,000 shows currently available to stream on its platform. That is a lot of content. You can’t possibly watch all of it (unless you’re a really dedicated TV viewer and, honestly, we would respect that). Out of those 2,000 shows, there are hundreds that belong to, or could be labeled as, “science-fiction.” That is still an overwhelming amount! But don’t worry – we here at SYFY have got you covered.

The warp drives utilized on Federation ships depend on displacement of space-time in order to circumvent relativity and the light-speed barrier. The displacement wave seen in the first episode of Voyager takes this process to an extreme via the Caretaker, an entity tasked with the protection of the Ocampa people. The Caretaker, noting his own imminent demise, uses displacement arrays to gather various species from around...

Stardate: unknown Captain’s log. Torres is coming in hot in a shuttlecraft that’s been damaged by an ion storm. She went out to retrieve their multispatial probe before it got hit by the storm. She manages to crash land in the shuttlebay and is taken to sickbay with a bad concussion. Chakotay comes to her cabin with a piece of metal that’s about a hundred years old or so with the Klingon emblem on it. Apparently it collided with her shuttle when the deflectors went down, and it means that...
