For the nth time, I'd like to sincerely thank all my nearly 2000 followers (wow!) for reading my journey over more than two years. All ratings/reviews can be found in this tidy spreadsheet: https://t.co/6CKnU5sOSN Next up I'll be tweeting all of Stargate (at a slower pace) Cheers

SNW- Tomorrow's Enterprise: Time travel shenanigans and two Uhuras aren’t enough to excuse the Scotty romance and death 2/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SNW- Once La’an a Time: There’s fun amongst character development, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t done this fantasy before 2/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SNW- Orders of Magnitude: Shows how a non-gimmick story with a compelling baddie and good writing can make this show excel 4/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SNW- Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass: I want to rate this silly premise higher but there’s too many gimmick eps 2/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SNW- Off-Hour: Decent little real time wrecked ship story. Lots of ingenuity but do think they could’ve killed off the doctor 3/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SNW- Level Five Transporter Accident: The deus ex machina did ruin a truly fun silly muppet episode. I get we need an arc now 4/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SNW- A Case of Chiaoscuro: Fun little noir episode. No clue why it had a doppelganger but the characters weren’t wasted here 3/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SNW- Human Best Friend: Another genre episode, this time The Hangover, but still not quite as successful as it should be 2/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SNW- The Griffin Incident: I should appreciate a genre bottle episode morseo but the horror was too gory and vague in origin 2/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SNW- Valles Marineris: Time travel and moral quandaries are my favourites. Did I enjoy this too much? Dinosaurs say no 4/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SA- Rubincon: Tonnes of technobabble and Starfleet ethics, but Reno as commander takes the cake. Not the worst show ever! 3/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SA- 300th Night: This ep is simply prepping for a finale but some decent emotional moments amongst mean enemies and a new WMD 2/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SA: The Life of the Stars- Too much overblown fake emotions in the therapy play compared to Robert Picardo being a great dad 2/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SA: Ko’Zeine- Far prefer chatty development episodes than bang bang shooty or silly pranks. Can’t count the love triangles 3/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SFA- Come, Let's Away: The bat aliens and emotions aren’t great but the dark tone along with Paul Giamatti saves this ep 3/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SA- Series Acclimation Mil: I think some of the editing/graphics/acting is cringe but can’t go wrong praising DS9 so much 2/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SA- Vox in Excelso: The flashbacks are fairly goofy, but heck, we always love a bit of Klingon lore, especially when it’s gay 2/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SA- Vitus Reflux: A prank war, sports and just being plain ol’ mean doesn’t really seem like Trek to me, it’s doesn’t seem fun 1/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SA- Beta Test: Yes, it’s a basic teen romance caught in the trappings of Trek, but still willing to give this show some time 2/5 #startrek

[Tweetin' the Trek @TweetinTheTrek]

SA- Kids These Days: There is cringe dialogue and generic characters, but there is just enough new/old ideas to keep this okay 3/5 #startrek
