So, now that I’ve gone through what I really wanted to talk about in Star Trek, I’m gonna wrap this up. Expect this and another update where I talk about the other series and movies. I haven’t read the books (hah) or whatever other stuff there is. This update is…
Finally, I’m getting around to this. I had planned to write this before Mattia was born, but things rarely work out as we plan. So I’m doing it now because Deep Space 9 (DS9) is my favorite Star Trek series and favorite TV series ever. It’s much more plot based…
I was thinking about the difference between creative writing and essay writing. And where does this sort of blog post fit in? So I’ve decided I’m going to lead with the conclusion that I’ll explain at the end: The Next Generation (TNG) at its best (not always) tries to answer…
Dear Reader, I had a hard time deciding which series I was going to write about first, so I decided to do it chronologically, so here we are. I almost wanted to go with the Next Generation and do this series last. I hope some people understand why I’d feel…

Dear readers, For those of you who didn't study Ancient Greek, it's somewhat of a tradition to spend a humongous amount of time talking about the opening paragraph of the Odyssey. I envy you, really, because you didn't waste countless hours on this endeavor. But it's what I want to…
It took me a long time to come to the conclusion that I’ve definitively become a grumpy old man. The revelation came when I was thinking about a conversation I had way back when, during my undergrad, almost a decade ago. I was talking about a movie I didn’t like,…
Hello everyone, I haven't written on here for a long time, it turns out. Most of my life is just reading, writing and doing all the other stuff in my life (like eating), so I don't have much time to ruminate on this (that pun was entirely intended). Claudia and…
