A Star to Steer Her By

09/11/2025

Someone doing effects on "Choose to Live" done goofed by adding a BLUE lens flare to a scene in which we were looking for BLUE tachyon signatures, utterly confounding the audience.

Anyone else get utterly distracted whenever someone says Ni'Var President T'Rina's name? Just Caitlin? Okay.

No, it's not just some fever dream Jake had. There was a Purple People Eater movie that we brought up in yesterday's aliens discussion, and its trailer is as insane as you'd expect.

Ooh, he did another "Star Trek" one!

The hate they have for each other can be measured from space. Because they're both in space. ...

E.T.s, phone home! We're talking all manners of extraterrestrials this week over on the blog and one thing's for certain: we badly want all these aliens as our new best friends! 👽👽👽

by Ames We’re throwing an intergalactic party this week, so prepare to make friends with a ton of aliens of all shapes and sizes! Luckily, the A Star to Steer Her By hosts each have a number of...

I really hope you saw season 1 of "Picard" or the right episodes of DS9, because otherwise "Choose to Live" might not make as much sense as it could. In the main plot, multiple poor choices are made by multiple people so a story can happen. In the B plot Stamets meet scientists more stuck-up than he is while Book gets some psychic psychology. In the C plot "Star Trek" again flips death the bird.
Also this week: plot swords, Mac and Tilly, and alien characters!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THE OFFICIAL ENTERPRISE-D LEGO SET COMES WITH A WEE LEGO SPOT!

And there's other stuff, I dunno, I kinda stopped paying attention after seeing Spot.

There's some technicalities here, but we'll still give it to him...

And actually I think I forgot a couple.

Happy Halloween! We've transformed into "A Star to SPOOK Her By" this week as we take a look at a cult sci-fi horror classic. But this one has a quite explicit "Star Trek" connection in the form of Jeffrey Combs! But unlike his many "Trek" appearances, he's not behind makeup, just the respectable spectacles of Herbert West, the titular "Re-Animator". It's the film's 40th anniversary, so no better year to check it out! It's a movie that starts spooky and escalates quickly into ever-mounting craziness, culminating in a completely daft and brilliantly schlocky climax!
Also this week: an alternate title, a feline turning point, and trying to stage it.
