    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!

    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!

    Star Trek 2x26 - "Assignment: Earth" Review

    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. 🎙 Episode Reviewed: Star Trek The Original Series 2×26 – “Assignment: Earth” 👥 Hosts: David C.

    Star Trek 2x25 - "The Omega Glory" Review

    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. 🎙 Episode Reviewed: Star Trek The Original Series 2×25 – “The Omega Glory” 👥 Hosts: David C.
