TV & Film
This week in the Trek universe: the legendary - and legendarily difficult - sci-fi author behind one of the franchise’s most celebrated episodes gets his Hollywood grudge examined. Four Star Trek films crack a ranking of the greatest space movies ever made, but is the order defensible? A single quote from Deep Space Nine is held up as the key to understanding why that show endures. A fascinating deep-dive reveals the unlikely chain of events connecting Worf to the 2009 reboot. And we dig into the strange, squirm-worthy story behind TNG’s body horror entry from its very first season - “Conspiracy.” All that and a story involving a famous author, a Las Vegas convention, and a very expressive single finger.
