The Original Series Fails Roddenberry's Vision #startrek
Gene Roddenberry's vision "Gene Roddenberry would never have allowed this."

The Gorn were Never Honorable. Kirk Just Needed them to Be.
Star Trek's Arena taught us the Gorn were honorable. The episode never showed it. The Gorn destroyed Cestus III, ignored a surrender, and used the dead as bait. Captain Kirk decided they were defending themselves, on the word of the captain who led the attack. We go back through The Original…

Stargate Changed What Ra Was. Twice.
Stargate Ra origin Stargate's Ra is one of sci-fi's great villains, but the Ra in the 1994 movie is not the only version of him. I went back to the cave wall Daniel Jackson reads on Abydos and followed Ra through every version of Stargate, in the order each one was written. First there's the Ra…

Who Died for the Prime Directive #startrek
Every Starfleet captain can recite General Order One. Not one episode shows us the day it was written, or the incident that made anyone think it was necessary. Rules that specific don't come from philosophy. They come from something going wrong. So I went looking for it. The rule doesn't exist…
