    Okay, maman, so Jay-Den is Darem's Ko'Zeine, but will he co-sign this Khionian lifestyle design? We also have warp slugs, altered recommendation letters, and long, lingering silences that are sure to cause rifts!

    Fire up your singularity drive, maman! It's time for the tiny fireflies because there are Furies who hate being Furies and they're in pain all the time, maman. It's rough! Plus there are twists and stuff being pulled out of necks and some rough revelations about sons and the sacrifices people make along the way! Powerful episode, maman!

    Ten-hut, Cadet Maman! We got war games or some such! Tally-ho! Wait, that's Trelane. Scratch that, but it's time for patience, Maman! And don't forget empathy! Watch out for the betazoid in the Mugato suit, Maman...

    Star Trek 2x26 - "Assignment: Earth" Review
    Dec 16 2025
    Maman! Hey, Maman! I'm glad we caught you! I wanted to invite you to take a trip with Effie and myself to New York City of 1968. Specifically 811 East 68th Street, Apt 12B – a quite extraordinary apartment with an exceptional new tenant – Class 1 supervisor 194 – Codename: Gary Seven. He, his "cat" Isis and his secretary Roberta Lincoln will be taking over the season 2 finale of Star Trek – and while they were making it, they may have even thought it would the series finale. Crazy times call for crazy parachutes, Maman.

    Star Trek 2x25 - "The Omega Glory" Review
    Dec 10 2025
    Oh, maman... On this episode of Star Trek Universe, it’s a dash of racism,a sprinkling of imperialism, and a skosh of jingoism as Effie and I roll our eyes along to one of the absolute worst episodes of Star Trek ever produced – an episode so bad it was repeatedly rejected by the studio, from the beginning! We’re talking Roddenberry’s pet project, "The Omega Glory", maman! It ain't pretty.
