Read my updated reviews of the Voyager season 4 episodes "Prey" and "Retrospect".
March
It's time to continue my Voyager rewatch. Here are the updated reviews of the season 4 episodes "Message in a Bottle" and "Hunters".
Here are my considerations about Time Travel in Star Trek: Discovery (DIS) (covering the so far two episodes that featured a time travel).
And while I was at it, I also added a small article on Time Travel in Star Trek: The Animated Series (TAS).
The Starfleet Museum is available in print now. Dan Carlson has created a richly illustrated book of 286 pages with the starship designs by Masao Okazaki and their histories. This fan work is made available at no profit, for the cost of printing.
Star Trek has a legacy of more than 50 years. The franchise is famed for the iconic looks of its characters, species, sets, props and starships. They so far contributed greatly to the continuity of Star Trek. It appears that this has changed with the Abramsverse and ultimately with Discovery. My new article illustrates The Visual Continuity of Star Trek with many examples and pictures.
Five new designs in the Journal of Applied Treknology. Cordial thanks to all contributors!
February
Still more new pictures in the Galleries, such as HD screen caps of planets from Star Trek Enterprise. I have also added some more ship diagrams from the Official Starships Collection, for instance of the Borg Queen's ship.
Update of the Links page.
Here is my review of the Discovery season finale "Will You Take My Hand?". As the war comes to an end, the series prepares to start over again without some of its used up characters. But hopefully with more of the old Star Trek spirit that barely survived 15 episodes of Discovery.
New Poll: Rate "Will You Take My Hand?".
My review of Discovery's penultimate season 1 episode "The War Without, The War Within" is ready. The story is about various character reunions and about a daring plan, but the latter more on a side note.
New Poll: Rate "The War Without, The War Within".
January
I have added some 200 HD screen caps from Star Trek Enterprise to various Galleries, such as of Other Federation Members. Please follow the signs to see what's new.
I have finished my review of the Discovery episode "What's Past Is Prologue". The Discovery's excursion to the Mirror Universe is finally over, but now the crew has a new big problem on their hands.
New Poll: Rate "What's Past Is Prologue".
Here is my review of "Vaulting Ambition". The series tries to push the boundaries with this extremely grim episode that has little to do with Star Trek and will leave the fan base divided.
New Poll: Rate "Vaulting Ambition".
Ex Astris Scientia celebrates 20 years online. The site was first uploaded on January 21, 1998. See the reconstruction of the site as it looked 20 years ago. Since then, EAS has been a continually updated and further developed. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all contributors for creating great content. Many thanks also to the visitors, who provide valuable feedback and suggestions. Here's to the next 20 years!
Read my review of this week's Star Trek Discovery episode, "The Wolf Inside". The ship is still in the Mirror Universe, and the story still doesn't work for me.
New Poll: Rate "The Wolf Inside".
Here is my review of the latest Star Trek Discovery episode, "Despite Yourself". The story answers some of the lingering questions, but is neither very surprising nor very plausible.
New Poll: Rate "Despite Yourself".
I have added almost 200 HD screen caps from Star Trek Enterprise to the Starship Gallery, such as of the Other Aliens of the 22nd Century. Not all of them look as great as they could because the visual effects were generally produced at a lower resolution and only upscaled for the Blu-ray release. Still, most caps are better than anything available so far.
Happy New Year 2018! There are several updates in the Starship Gallery and the other Galleries. I have added dozens of new high-res publicity photos and screen caps. Also, many of the old scans from the Star Trek Fact Files or Star Trek: The Magazine have been reworked. Note this is a work in progress. Please follow the signs to see what's new.
