  • Why? I’m trying to become a Trekkie
  • Seen: Once before (it turns out). Now: 25 May 2022      

       Picard (Stewart) is now captain of the Starship Enterprise but Captain Kirk (Shatner) is lurking in another time line and they unite to save the universe. Or something. You don’t need to know the story if you’ve ever seen a Star Trek episode.

       With less than half an hour left to go, I realise that I’ve seen this already. I check my list. Yepp. In 2011. Two years before starting this blog.

       Sorry to say, it’s still not memorable. It’s just a long drawn-out episode, without the advantage of being new and original as it was in the 60s.

       Oh fistfights! Can’t even Star Trek resist stupid fistfights?

       Never mind.

       In honour of the original series 

2 * of 5.
