As much as I've enjoyed a lot of the new books we've gotten in this new era, I really do miss the litverse. It was this whole universe unto itself, and following its stories was something I looked forward to every year. We also got a lot more books with a lot more frequency.

I appreciate how Discovery and SNW recontextualize the TOS era, retconning the idea that women couldn't command starships. Women not only commanded starships during the era, one of them had the distinction of being one of Starfleet's most decorated Captains. As it should be.

This scene illustrates so well why S5 is a great final season. The way it reflects on the series past through the lens of its characters growth, how far they've come from where they began, both within and without, both with each other and within their own agency is pitch perfect.

One of the things I appreciate about this era of Trek is the respect they've put on Voyager's name. From acknowledging Janeway as one of the most decorated officers in Starfleet history, to preserving Voyager's legacy 800 years into the future, the writers have demonstrated such respect for Voyager.

One of my friends is watching DS9 for the first time. Her jaw was on the floor.

It was eight years ago today when this incredible show came to our screens and ushered in a new era of Star Trek. From the Vulcan Hello to Life Itself the series told some amazing stories and pushed the franchise forward in real measurable ways. My love forever, Discovery.

I always thought of this as the moment DS9 changed. The destruction of the Odyssey and the full reveal of the Dominion in this and later episodes changed DS9 forever in all the good ways. DS9 took a bold swing, and it worked beautifully.

It's not everyday that Star Trek explores a new era. Most Trek takes place in the 24th century. So for Discovery to take us all the way to the 32nd century, was such a bold swing. Discovery's commitment to exploring new facets for the franchise is a credit to its legacy.

In Discovery we actually explored an extragalactic star system and encountered a species unlike any we've seen before. This widening of the franchise's scope is one of the many things Discovery did to push the franchise forward. I love this kind of exploration.

It's not lost on me that Michael got to command the Enterprise.

Such a small moment that says so much about Michael and Spock's relationship. There was a vulnerability he allowed himself around Michael that enabled her to see what was inside of him.

"I think I might know."

Yes, Michael, you did, and he was all the better for it.

Discovery's dedication to measurable character arcs is one of my favorite things about it. Hugh is such a good example of it. The things the show explores with his character each season are always so interesting. His spiritual awakening in S5 is one my favorite character arcs in the show. So good.

Getting Kurtwood Smith to portray Annorax was such a plus for Trek. He gives such a magnetic performance. One of my favorite guest stars from one of my favorite episodes.

An excellent piece of drama, but interestingly enough, believe it or not, some have tried to defend Ransom's actions here which is wild to me.

This conversation on the nature of leadership is well written and performed. Rillak severed as a great foil to Michael and helped to push her character forward. Good dialogue in a well constructed scene.

Stargate Rewatch: Before I Sleep.

One of my favorite Stargate episodes, and probably my favorite Atlantis S1 episode. The meeting of the two Elizabeth's serves to add greater depth to Weir's character all within an interesting science fiction context. Top marks!

No Star Wars. No Star Trek. Name a favourite sci-fi franchise.

Stargate.

Kobayashi Maru seems to be an underrated episode which I always found strange. It's one of Trek's most thrilling season premier's. The action is well realized, but even in the midst of that action, it never looses sight of character. Michael & Rillak's dialogue is also riveting.

On this day 1 year ago one of the best Trek series ever put to screen came to a close. The finale Life, Itself caped off a 7 year journey that I'm forever grateful I got to experience. The writing, the acting, the visuals all come together to give us a beautiful piece of sci-fi. Let's Fly, forever.

I don't see much Stargate love on here. It's one of the many other Sci-fi franchises that I love, particularly Atlantis for me. I really wish we were getting more Stargate. I miss this universe.

One of the things that sets Michael apart from other black women in sci-fi is she wasn't a bit part. She was the lead of Discovery, the center of the show. Some fans have said we've had other black women in Trek. That's true. But she was the first lead. Big difference. She got to save the universe.
