Episodes [ ]

First pilot [ ], season 1 [ ], summary [ ].

The Starfleet vessel USS Enterprise sets out on a five-year mission to explore new worlds and seek out new lifeforms in the Alpha Quadrant of the Galaxy . Under the command of Human Captain James T. Kirk and the Vulcan Spock , the Enterprise comes across many strange lifeforms in the first year of its mission – including shapeshifters , androids , and even more bizarre creatures . Elsewhere, there are run-ins with several prominent species, including the warrior race of the Klingons , the Romulan Star Empire , and the Gorn .

The rest of the crew develop close bonds on the long journey, and even as each one experiences the joys of the brave new world of space, they all experience grief and sacrifices. Amongst those who grow close as part of the senior staff are one of the ship's nurses, Christine Chapel , the ship's doctor Leonard McCoy , Kirk's yeoman Janice Rand , helmsman Hikaru Sulu and communications officer Uhura .

Background information [ ]

• Production for the initial season of Star Trek cost an average of US$190,635 per episode. (Some episodes went largely over budget, such as " The City on the Edge of Forever ", which cost $250,396, the most expensive of all episodes except the two pilots). But this figure would gradually decrease in the two seasons to come. ( Inside Star Trek: The Real Story )
• Each episode was scheduled to be filmed in six days; however, many of them went over schedule, resulting in one or two extra days of shooting. When Paramount Pictures took over Desilu in mid-season 2, schedules became much more strict, and episodes had to be completed in six days (closer to five and half days actually).
• The first season of TOS was nominated for two Emmy Awards in 1967 as "Outstanding Dramatic Series" and "Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Drama – Leonard Nimoy ".
• The episodes " The Menagerie, Part I ", " The Menagerie, Part II ", and " The City on the Edge of Forever " won Hugo Awards as "Best Dramatic Presentation". " The Corbomite Maneuver " and " The Naked Time " were also nominated.

List of Star Trek: The Original Series episodes

From wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Created by Gene Roddenberry , the science fiction television series Star Trek (which eventually acquired the retronym Star Trek: The Original Series ) starred William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk , Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock , and DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy aboard the fictional Federation starship USS Enterprise . The series originally aired from September 1966 through June 1969 on NBC . [1]

This is the first television series in the Star Trek franchise, and comprises 79 regular episodes over the series' three seasons, along with the series' original pilot episode , " The Cage ". The episodes are listed in order by original air date, [2] which match the episode order in each season's original, [3] [4] [5] remastered, [6] [7] [8] and Blu-ray DVD [9] box sets. The original, single-disc DVD releases placed the episodes by production order, with "The Cage" on the final disc. [10]

After the series' cancellation , Paramount Television released Star Trek to television stations as a syndication package, [11] where the series' popularity grew to become a "major phenomenon within popular culture". [12] This popularity would eventually lead to the expansion of the Star Trek catalog, which as of 2020 includes nine more television series and thirteen Trek motion pictures .

In 2006, CBS Paramount Domestic Television (now CBS Television Distribution ) announced that each Original Series episode would be re-syndicated in high definition after undergoing digital remastering , including both new and enhanced visual effects . [13] (To date, the remastered episodes have only been broadcast in standard definition , though all three seasons are now available on the high-definition Blu-ray Disc format.) [14] [15] The remastered episodes began with " Balance of Terror " (along with, in some markets, " Miri ") during the weekend of September 16, 2006, [16] and ended with "The Cage", which aired during the weekend of May 2, 2009. [17] The remastered air dates listed below are based on the weekend each episode aired in syndication. [16]

Star Trek: Picard - Episode Guide - Season 1

No self-respecting Star Trek devotee would deny the awesomeness of seeing Captain Jean-Luc Picard – not to mention a handful of his Enterprise compadres – back in action after some 20 years (17 since the “real-world” release of Nemesis ). In this respect, Star Trek: Picard season 1 seemed destined to succeed, particularly after the grandiose opening of colorful nebulae, camera sweeping over the USS Enterprise, NCC 1701-D.

Iconic stuff, and whoa does Picard season 1 enjoy dramatic peaks, excellent character moments and pepperings of action. However, this inaugural 10-epsidoe season simultaneously suffers from many of same bugaboos that trouble many a streaming-based series.

In the timing is this most evidenced: Each episode is written as more or less a bottle episode playing out under the rubric of the main story, yet few economically use script. Episodes 5 and 6 (“Stardust City Rag’ and “The Impossible Box”) feel padded, 2 and 9 (“Maps and Legends” and “Broken Pieces”) are rushed – particularly when compared with the finale, which included essentially everything the best ST:TNG episodes did.

The final verdict on Star Trek Picard season 1: Overall a nicely-done, if uneven, effort – but as previously stated, damn, it’s good to see Jean-Luc again. Not to mention Seven, Will, Deanna…

• Remembrance – As a news reporter takes Picard to task for controversially opposing the Federation for abandoning Romulan refugee efforts, a young woman named Dahj is attacked by Romulan assassins in her home. Dahj has visions of Picard and ultimately tracks him to his vineyard in France. In a visit to Starfleet Archives, Picard finds a painting by Data which appears to depict Dahj. Dahj is soon thereafter killed by the Romulans, and Picard seeks the expertise of Dr. Jurati; Jurati informs him that Dahj is a twin. ***
• Maps and Legends – Helped by the Romulans in the Picard vineyard’s employ, Picard tracks down the location of Dahj’s twin, Soji; he also learns that Dahj’s assassins are likely agents of the Zhat Vash, an even more extreme branch of the Tal Shiar intelligence agency. To Picard’s chagrin, Soji is working on “The Artifact,” a Borg cube under the auspices of the Romulans. Picard is denied assistance in his personal mission by the Federation, and so seeks help elsewhere…***
• The End Is the Beginning – Picard convinces his former first officer Raffi Musiker to join the rescue mission, and he scores a pilot and his ship as well in Rios and La Sirena. Picard and Jurati are attacked by Zhat Vash, but live to get onboard the Sirena and get on to Freecloud, where Bruce Maddox is believed to be. Meanwhile, revelations about Soji: Narek, a Romulan researcher on The Artifact, is a plant to spy on her, and more than Romulan identifies Soji as “The Destroyer.” ***
• Absolute Candor – In bagging directorial work on his fifth Star Trek series with “Absolute Candor”, Jonathan Frakes establishes himself as one of the franchise’s most important figures ever … and the episode itself is a goodie. On the way to Freecloud, Picard’s new ragtag crew visits Vashti, the last spot to which Romulans were relocated before the Federation withdrew from refugee support. There, Picard is reunited with the Romulan warrior sect Qowat Milat and a young man named Elnor, with whom Picard had been quite close. Lots of great righteousness by Picard and badass martial-arts stuff – all on a set that recalls Firefly…****
• Stardust City Rag – Seven of Nine, having saved La Sirena in a firefight at the close of episode 4, hitches on with La Sirena to Freecloud; there she seeks to exact revenge on the black market dealer Bjayzl despite Picard’s objections. In a completely unrelated (and mostly irrelevant) subplot, Raffi visits with her estranged son. And seemingly from out of nowhere Jurati ices Maddox.
• The Impossible Box – Picard gets onboard The Artifact and is saved from one bad trip by Hugh, the Borg re-individualized by the Enterprise-D crew back in “I, Borg.” Narek has meanwhile discovered the secret of Soji’s planet of origin and tries to kill her, but Picard and she manage to beam away to the planet…
• Nepenthe , where William Riker and Deanna Troi live with their daughter. The action is taken down a notch here as Picard and Soji deal with a few existential matters while awaiting a pickup from La Sirena. Elnor and Hugh attempt to fight the Zhat Vash agents seeking Soji on The Artifact before Elnor calls in the calvary, i.e. Seven’s Ferris Rangers. ****             
• Broken Pieces – Mysteries resolved going into the season-ender: We learn why Rios left Starfleet, the true identity of Admiral Oh, and what precipitates the Zhat Vash’s androidophobia. Seven arrives on The Artifact in time enough to save Elnor, but not the remaining Borg drones, who are callously jettisoned into space by the fleeing Romulans. La Sirena and the powered-up Artifact warp to Soji’s home planet via Borg transwarp conduit. ***
• Et in Arcadia Ego, part 1 – Upon approaching the planet Coppelius, La Sirena is attacked by massive genetically engineering orchids which drag the ship as well as the Borg cube to the surface. There, Picard et al discover a colony entirely populated by synthetics. De facto leader is their co-creator, Altan Soong – unless it’s the android Sutra, who believes the Romulans’ story of synthetic life wiping out organic lifeforms through the galaxy to be good news for her people…***
• Et in Arcadia Ego, part 2 – This episode is what we love Jean-Luc Picard’s breed of Star Trek for best: Stirring stentorian speeches, Riker playing cowboy, shoot-’em-ups in space, the galaxy saved (once again), and delving into the meaning of existence – plus the (proper) return of Lt. Comm. Data. No matter how one feels about Star Trek: Picard’s first nine episodes, no ST fan should come away from episode 10 disappointed. *****

10 Reality TV Shows That Defined the 2000s

Ctrl+alt+desire (docuseries), stream on april 16.

CTRL+ALT+DESIRE is a three-part docuseries about Grant Amato, who was convicted of killing his brother and parents following an obsessive relationship he developed with an internet cam model named Silvie. The series follows his life and the subsequent downfall that led to his murderous actions. Leading up to his family’s death, Amato managed to steal over $200,000 from them in an attempt to maintain Silvie’s attention. By crafting an online persona of a cool and confident man, he believed she would love him as he did her. However, Silvie was merely doing her job.

The docuseries aims to explore the depths of loneliness and what that can do to people, especially in the age of the internet. By examining Amato, filmmaker Colin Archdeacon hopes to analyze the cross-section of loneliness and technology and investigate how such a situation effectively reshapes our current society. A complex story with many layers, CTRL+ALT+DESIRE ultimately reveals more about society overall than it does about just one person. CTRL+ALT+DESIRE is streaming on Paramont+ on Apr. 16.
