Star Trek: Strange New Worlds — Series 3 - Episode 8 — “Four-and-a-Half Vulcans” — A Review

28th August, 2025: “Four-and-a-Half Vulcans”.
The Introduction.

Right, then: it’s officially Thursday.

And … ?

I have a version of Strauss the Younger’s “The Blue Danube” playing in the background.

I’ve copied a 4k version of V for Vendetta: and I’m transcoding the copy with Handbrake, so I can stream it to my AppleTV, as and when.

One of these days, I’ll tell you how to do that.

I’m also struggling to make up my mind: about what to have for dinner.

It boils down to three things: sausages, burgers or chicken.

I think I’ll go for chicken: frankly, I’ve had sausages, and burgers, already!

This week, I should clarify!

“Gosh!” I hear you say, “that’s so exciting!”

It’s OK.

I’ll get to the interesting stuff, after dinner.

Yes, it’s that of week again.

Once I’ve had dinner, I’ll be watching “Four-and-a-Half Vulcans”: this week’s episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

It looks promising …

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Series 3 Episode 4 — “A Space Adventure Hour” — A Review

31st July, 2025: “A Space Adventure Hour” — The Intro.

It’s officially official.

It’s that time of week again.

The time when I sit myself down in front of a computer screen, and tell you two things.

One … ?

I’ve got a duet by Nena and Kim Wilde — “Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime” — on in the background.


As the song plays?

I think to myself that Nena — in the video — looks a lot like Molly Millions: William Gibson’s iconic Neuromancer character.

As I always do.

Two?

The other thing I always tell you, is simply this.

That’s it’s Thursday, I’m doing dinner … and, once that’s eaten … ?

I’m going to be watching the next episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Then letting you know what I thought, by this Saturday.

Hopefully … ?

My banging on about 80s singers won’t have put you off … !

Star Trek Strange New Worlds Episode 6 — “Lost in Translation” — A Review.

Friday, 21st July, 2023: the Introduction.


Yes: it’s official.

It’s been payday.

So … ?

Frankly, I’ve been tempted to treat myself to fish and chips.

You know, walk up to the nearest chippy, get cod and chips, then head home, and eat.

It would be nice.

But let’s be honest: it’s not the best way of keeping hold of any cash for the rest of the month!

So … ?

I’m doing my own dinner, thanking you: fish … and homemade chips.

On — as you’ve possibly noticed — a Friday.

Which means … ?

For one thing, I’m going to eat.

For another?

I’m going to be watching “Lost in Translation”, the next episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds: and telling you what I though about it, tomorrow.

That’s when this gets published!

Star Trek Strange New Worlds S02 E03 — “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” — A Review

30th June, 2023: “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”.


Yes: it IS Friday.

And?

Yes: I’m doing fish and chips, again.

And wondering what on Earth inspired Adriano Celentano to write and perform Prisencolinensinainciusol.


Quite what that’s about, I don’t know.

But?

It’s catchy.

~≈🖖≈~

At any rate?

It’s Friday, I’m going to be having dinner … 

And, if you’re reading this when it’s published?

You’ve possibly skipped ahead to the review of the next episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds.

I hope you enjoy it!

Star Trek Strange New Worlds S02 E02 — “Ad Astra Per Aspera” — A Review

23rd June, 2023:  “Ad Astra Per Aspera”.


It’s got to be said, payday can be frantic.

OK, granted, I got into town early: for a diabetic foot check.

Which went well enough.

But the rest of the day’s gone … iffyly!

I’ll probably tell you more in the morning!

At any rate … ?

I’m going have dinner, whilst watching an old friend’s video about Judge Dredd.


Then … ?

Watching “Ad Astra Per Aspera”, the next epidote of Star Trek Strange New Worlds.

I’ll let you know more, tomorrow!

Star Trek Strange New Worlds Series 2 Episode 1 — “The Broken Circle” — A Review

16th June, 2023: “The Broken Circle”.



Right … 

At the moment, I’m … I think the polite phrase is ‘twatted off’!

Yes: twatted off seems to describe it!

YouTube took forever to upload that introduction video!

Two initial attempts … 

Then a third, when I realised what I’d done wrong!

At any rate … ?

It’s Friday: the day after the first episode of Star Trek Strange New World’s second series, aired.

And?

I’m keen to have dinner, make a nice cup of tea … 

Then watch the opening episode.

Yes: it’s called “The Broken Circle”.

And it sounds like there’s a drinking contest going on …
