What happens if CBS All Access' Star Trek mixed with sci-fi/thriller cult classic Event Horizon (1997)? Watch the opening scene in this week's Picard, "Stardust City Rag."

We all know Jean-Luc Picard's personal choice of beverage and the manner in which he orders it from the replicator in the starship Enterprise. Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.

Do you believe in coincidences? Before you answer… this week, super smart scientists at the University of Arizona working on the HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) project announced a very pop-culture-relevant discovery. Their HiRISE camera (part of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) took a picture of "dune casts" on the surface of Mars that look […]

As a devout fan of both BBC's Doctor Who and CBS All Access' Star Trek: Discovery, I am facing at least another seven months without new episodes of either show… Woe is me. Adding insult to injury? For a second year in a row, Christmas Day will come and go without a Doctor Who special. To […]

Note: The fine folks here at Bleeding Cool's Department of Television Excellence have taken it upon themselves to "save" some of your favorite series (like FOX's The Orville) by designing "ultimate" episodes/seasons that will keep them from the water skis and sharks for a little while longer or save them from the fates that befell Game of […]

Thursday night's Discovery Season 2 finale "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2" is a direct clap back at all of the […]

As Number 1 (Rebecca Romijn) so succinctly predicted last week on CBS All Access's Star Trek: Discovery, the shit is about to hit the fan.

The hidden main character of CBS All Access's Star Trek: Discovery has always been Michael Burnham's (Sonequa Martin-Green) enormous heart. Despite her upbringing and education on Vulcan, and her intense love of logic, Burnham leads with her heart, not her head. In Season 1, her heart got her into trouble and then led her out of it. […]

What happens on Q'onoS apparently does not stay on Q'onoS. Earlier in CBS All Access Star Trek: Discovery's second season, viewers saw Klingon High Chancellor L'Rell (Mary Chieffo) send away Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) and the infant son she conceived with Tyler's Klingon alter-ego Voq. Section 31 – and therefore Control 0 knows of Tyler/Voq's […]
