"Reread the charter. Article 14, Section 31."
I am – Hercules!!
And it breaks my dang heart! It's the last new episode we get until April 15, it explains what Malcolm Reed’s been up to, it explains how Kirk’s Klingons all looked so human, and it was authored by Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens.
The Reeves-Stevenses wrote what are easily this season’s best episodes, “The Forge” and “Observer Effect.” It’s my fondest hope that when Paramount relaunches “Star Trek” at some point, these two are still young and healthy enough to be put in charge of the whole shebang. They know series lore as well as the geekiest Trekker and, more importantly, they demonstrate a stellar faculty for characterization, plot and dialog.
In related news, my sources at Paramount indicate there will be some sort of Trek-tied announcement on Monday.
HERC'S FRIDAY MORNING UPDATE: Just to clarify, Monday's Paramount announcement does NOT concern a new Trek movie or series.
8 p.m. Friday. UPN.
