With the summer winding down, I guess it's time to leave the summer vacation magical island of Risa. Interestingly enough I did not spend a ton of time in STO this summer. I did log in once a day for a quick "Fly High"mission to get this summer's freebie ship, but there wasn't much to keep me around.  I don't think I participated in any other Lohlnut gathering activities.  I had stacked

Leonard McCoy, Frontier Doctor by John Byrne My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this more than I thought I would :-)  Basically, it's Dr. McCoy's adventures in the year that the Enterprise gets a refit between the end of the series and the motion picture. There were some interesting connectors here and there, but true to the original series it's much more

Star Trek: Flesh and Stone by David Tipton My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was an interesting story, despite the fact that it seemed a little contrived to get most of the doctors for the various series together to solve a medical mystery. What I am wondering is this: How the heck is McCoy still alive?! View all my reviews

The Looking Glass War by Mike W. Barr My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was an interesting mirror universe (but not THAT mirror universe) story. Mirror Odo is murdered and this kicks off an armed conflict between the dominion and the federation. Someone comes from the mirror universe to enlist Odo-prime's help to stop the war, and to unmask the murdered. Who dunnit? View all my reviews

This was was one of the more "m'eh' comic strips of Sev Trek.  I also don't get why the enterprises are plates of food. I guess I'll go with it for now :p (original archive here)

One of the weaker episodes of TNG, as far as I am concerned.  The one where Wesley accidentally trips over some dandelions and gets the death penalty. A nice pun on "make it so" however, so points for that ;-) (original archive here)

I guess this one is a riff from that episode where all the enterprises (from different realities) were converging on the same space. I did find this punchline to be the best, other ones submitted were a little m'eh. (original archive here)

From the episode with the forerunners (or was it precursors?) where we find out that we're all related in the milky way galaxy (or at least this quadrant of the galaxy). I do like this alternate punchline too: "Well get ready for another round of family feud!" (original archive here)

A riff of Data's time traveling head ;-)  My favorite alternative is "I knew he had a screw loose." (original archive here)

A commentary on Tasha Yar's death on TNG. I actually like the chosen punchline, but a close second favorite is "Yar today, gone tomorrow." (original archive here)
