My 20 Favorite Treks of 2020

Any year in which it was possible to make a TOP TWENTY list of new Star Trek can’t have been all bad, right?

“Not all tests are announced”: Coming of Age (TNG) vs. Ask Not (Short Treks)

Picard and Pike appear to be in trouble, while Wesley Crusher and Thira Sidhu get the Kobayashi Maru treatment.

Elevator troubles lead to awkward moments for Odo, Lwaxana Troi, Spock, and Number One.

2019 ends and 2020 begins with very different Short Treks, which tell surprisingly similar stories while exploring new sides of Star Trek.

Tribbles return, in an episode of The Animated Series, and in a Short Trek that only feels animated.

The Original Series revisits its original, unaired pilot episode … and half a century later, so does Discovery.

We look at the evolution of Harry Mudd, as Captain Kirk outsmarts yet another artificial intelligence, and Mudd outsmarts everyone.

Prime Directive? What Prime Directive? Kirk and Saru each take the law into their own hands.

It’s first contact with new life, from the new life’s point of view.
