Skip Homeier

  • View history

He filmed his scenes for "Patterns of Force" on Monday 4 December 1967 and Tuesday 5 December 1967 at Desilu Stage 10 , and his scenes for "The Way to Eden" between Friday 22 November 1968 and Friday 29 November 1968 at Stage 9 and Stage 10. He was also called in for a makeup and costume test on Thursday 21 November 1968 at Stage 9.

Outside of Star Trek , Homeier co-starred in such films as The Gunfighter (one of his many Westerns) starring Gregory Peck , The Ghost and Mr. Chicken starring Don Knotts , and the original acclaimed made-for-TV movie Helter Skelter , in which he portrayed Judge Charles H. Older, before whom Charles Manson and others were tried. Most of his credits were made up of Westerns and war films.

Playing Doctor Sevrin was not Homeier's first experience with facial prosthetics in a genre show: he wore them in a 1964 episode of The Outer Limits directed by Gerd Oswald called "Expanding Human" (which featured James Doohan , Keith Andes , Jason Wingreen , and Peter Duryea ).

Skip Homeier Dead: 'Tomorrow, the World!'  'Star Trek' Actor Was 86

Skip Homeier , who played the menacing Nazi youth in the 1944 drama Tomorrow, the World! before appearing in scores of Westerns, war films and TV shows, has died. He was 86.

Homeier died June 25 from spinal myelopathy in Indian Wells, Calif., his son Michael told The Hollywood Reporter .

Homeier also is known to fans of the original Star Trek for portraying Melakon , a Nazi-like character, in the 1968 episode “Patterns of Force” and as the arrogant Dr. Sevrin , who carries a deadly bacteria within him, in 1969’s “The Way to Eden.”

Homeier also played Judge Charles Older, who heard the case against Charles Manson (Steve Railsback ), in the acclaimed 1976 CBS telefilm Helter Skelter and appeared as the title character, a cop working the night shift out of Hollywood, in the 1961 NBC crime drama Dan Raven .

A native of Chicago, George Vincent Homeier portrayed violent or neurotic characters early in his career. He was billed as Skippy Homeier when he made his onscreen debut as a Nazi teen who arrives in Middle America in Tomorrow, the World! , starring Fredric March. (The kid actor had originated the role of Emil Bruchner on Broadway in April 1943).

The lanky Homeier later was memorable as a foolhardy man looking to make a reputation as a gunslinger in The Gunfighter (1950), starring Gregory Peck, and he played the jittery soldier Riley “Pretty Boy” Duncannon in Lewis Milestone’s Halls of Montezuma (1951) and the hit man Roxey in the Alaska-set film noir Cry Vengeance (1954), starring Mark Stevens.

He also appeared in Arthur Takes Over (1948), Sealed Cargo (1951), Sam Fuller’s Fixed Bayonets! (1951), Has Anybody Seen My Gal (1952), Black Widow (1954), Between Heaven and Hell (1956), Stark Fear (1962), Don Knotts ‘ The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966) and Muhammad Ali’s The Greatest (1977).

Homeier’s resume was packed with Westerns, including Ten Wanted Men (1955), The Road to Denver (1955), Stranger at My Door (1956), Dakota Incident (1956), The Tall T (1957), Day of the Badman (1958), Comanche Station (1960) and Showdown (1963) for the big screen. On television, he showed up on Wanted: Dead or Alive , The Rifleman , Wagon Train , Branded , Bonanza and The Virginian .

The actor also had a recurring role as a mentoring doctor on the 1970-71 CBS drama The Interns and appeared in guest stints on Alfred Hitchcock Presents , The Millionaire , The Addams Family , The Outer Limits , Mission: Impossible , Mannix , Fantasy Island , Vega$ and Quincy M.E.

Star trek: the next generation - 10 filler episodes you can skip to save time.

Star Trek: The Next Generation is arguably the best Star Trek ever, but there are some episodes from its seven-year run fans can skip to save time.

Star Trek: The Next Generation  is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed television series of all time. But it's not perfect, struggling in its early seasons to find an identity separate from that of the cultural monolith that was the original series. As a result, a fair number of episodes can be skipped by fans looking to save some time watching or re-watching the entire series.

RELATED:  Star Trek: The Next Generation - The 8 Best Debates Between Jean-Luc Picard and Q

While some of its most skippable episodes hold some fascination - mostly in how they ever got to air - they hold nothing of consequence in terms of lore or character development that fans will miss out on. Many of them have been utterly forgotten by the series itself, which never looked back after finding its equilibrium in season three with some of the best Star Trek episodes ever made.

Up A Long Ladder

Riker greets Brenna in Star Trek The Next Generation.

Star Trek is generally viewed as progressive in its representations of others but "Up A Long Ladder" is just one of a few blunders early in its run. Its stereotypical depiction of Irish people - here rendered as the Bringloidi - is utterly mystifying, especially given the presence of Miles O'Brien.

The episode is not as funny or sexy as it thinks it is and wastes the real talent it has in its guest stars, including Rosalyn Landor. It can be skipped along with a lot of early season two entries for more considered and accomplished episodes in the back half.

Data gambles in Star Trek The Next Generation.

The second season of the series was beset by the 1988 writer's strike, leaving the show scrambling to use older and rushed scripts. That resulted in "The Royale," which has Data, Riker, and Worf go to a gambling planet right out of 70s sci-fi.

The show is an easy skip thanks to its lack of tension or drama, as well as a tired premise - the crew finds evidence of an earlier human space expedition - that had been done and would continue to be revisited in Star Trek even after this.

Riker and Troi appear in Angel One from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

"Angel One" is an episode that might be required viewing for those interested in the worst costumes in Star Trek history, but otherwise it's easy to skip. The episode fails to capitalize on the idea of flipping gender roles, instead focusing on the romantic interests of Commander Riker.

The B-plot of the episode has Captain Picard literally catching a cold and nothing happens in the show of any consequence, meaning fans won't miss anything if they skip right past it in the show's mostly forgettable first season.

Wesley Crusher talks with teenagers in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

"Justice" is one of a number of first-season episodes that fans can skip without any worry of missing anything. It treads very familiar ground, with the Enterprise visiting an alien world of human-type people who are mostly defined by their lack of clothes.

RELATED:  Star Trek: The Next Generation - 10 Major Flaws Of The Show That Fans Chose To Ignore

The series is still searching for its identity at this point, recycling a lot of ideas from the original series and amplifying some of its worst traits, making this episode instantly forgettable and easily skippable.

Crusher and the entity form Sub Rosa.

"Sub Rosa" will never be confused for one of the best Beverly Crusher episodes of all time . Despite an ambitious attempt at telling a Gothic ghost story, the execution falls apart and this episode ultimately adds up to little, making it an easy skip.

This seventh season episode tries to add more history to Beverly's background and family history but results in some strange story choices that make it discordant with much of the rest of the series, especially in its standout later seasons.

The Masterpiece Society

Riker and Troi meet an alien in The Masterpiece Society.

"The Masterpiece Society" is in many ways a typical Star Trek episode in that it tackles a challenging issue - in this case, genetic engineering - through a sci-fi lens. The results aren't exactly "Space Seed", one of the best Star Trek episodes in history, that tackled the same subject.

This fifth season episode fails to capitalize on its premise by generating much of any conflict or compelling characters, making it one of a handful of episodes from an otherwise knockout season that fans can easily skip to save time.

Night Terrors

Bodies come back to life in Night Terrors from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The fourth season of the series is where The Next Generation truly comes into its own, but every episode isn't essential. "Night Terrors" is a mid-season episode attempt at horror that ends with a laughable effect of Deanna Troi floating on an obvious wire.

It's routine in that Troi often experiences strange visions, dreams, or feelings from alien forces - and she did just a few episodes earlier in "The Loss," a superior episode that does a better job of integrating an alien threat with Deanna's power.

Code Of Honor

Tasha Yar fights in Code of Honor.

"Code Of Honor" would rank among the worst episodes of any Star Trek series. This very early episode from the first season pits the crew against the Ligonians, who were terrible stereotypes of African people in 1987 and are even worse now.

RELATED:  Captain Picard's 10 Smartest Decisions in Star Trek: TNG

Star Trek is renowned for its diversity but this episode is one of its biggest misfires and an instant pass for fans old and new looking to find the best episodes of what would become one of the greatest science fiction television series of all time.

Imaginary Friend

Worf talks to children in Star Trek The Next Generation.

"Imaginary Friend" arrives sandwiched between some of the best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation ever , but it's an easy pass for fans looking to save time. The story focuses on a young girl named Clara whose imaginary friend turns out to be an alien entity.

The episode is one of the weaker efforts of season five and completely inessential to the stories of any of the major characters and has strong echoes of other, better episodes, like "The Bonding," Ronald D. Moore's first episode from season three.

Shades of Gray

Riker is operated on in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

"Shades of Gray," the final episode of the second season, is entirely skippable as it's mostly other episodes. The only clip show in the history of the series, it replays most of the first two years of the show as Riker undergoes a medical procedure on his brain.

The episode was a cost-saving measure and somewhat typical of television shows in the 80s, but it's completely inessential for Star Trek: The Next Generation fans looking to save some time going through the entire run of the acclaimed series.

WIRED Binge-Watching Guide: Star Trek: The Next Generation

STTNG

If the original Star Trek proved that space was the final frontier, it also suggested that maybe it was a frontier too far for mainstream American television. It got canceled after just three years. Apparently, a lot can change in two decades: When Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted in 1987, it launched not only a series that would last for seven glorious seasons, but an era of television dominance for the franchise that would stretch out for decades to come.

The-Wire

We're here to fix that. If you're one of those folks whose never experienced the joys of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), Commander William T. Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), and—yes—even Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton), now is the time to get familiar. Get ready to rock your very own "Shut up, Wesley" jokes—here's WIRED's binge-watching guide for Star Trek: The Next Generation .

Number of Seasons: 7 (178 episodes)

Time Requirements: If you watch a couple of episodes a day every day it'll take you just over three months. Sure, there are times where that might seem like a little bit too much, but Starfleet isn't for the weak-hearted.

Where to Get Your Fix: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Google Play, iTunes

Best Character to Follow: The answer to the question of which character you'll follow throughout the series' long run really depends on what you want from the show. Do you want the straightforward Star Trek experience? Then you should stick with Picard, the man in charge of this version of the Enterprise, or Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner), playing the Spock role in these proceedings. But perhaps you're looking for something a little more off-base. In that case, Riker provides both the self-aware over-the-top acting and a refusal to take the show too seriously that made the original so appealing. You also might also want to follow Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), who provides a horrifyingly clear lesson of the ways in which gender equality really hasn't reached the fictional 24th century just yet.

For our money, though, the best characters to follow are the recurring guests that pop up throughout the show's run: Chief Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney), before he ships off to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , for example, or Ensign Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes). Hell, even following omnipotent know-it-all Q (John de Lancie) has its charms. But if you're looking to follow one of the regular cast no matter what, then it really has to be Lieutenant Worf (Michael Dorn). Not because he's the show's most interesting character (he's not), but because you can always tell roughly where in the series' run you are based upon the length of his hair, which slowly grows over the course of the whole thing.

Seasons/Episodes You Can Skip:

The easiest, and shortest, way of putting this is "just avoid the first season altogether, and prepare to have a bumpy ride through the second, as well." The first year of The Next Generation is almost legendarily uneven, with more poor episodes than great ones, and some downright terrible ones thrown in for good measure. Things improve in the second year, but the show doesn't really hit a sustained run of good stuff until Season 3.

That said, if you're determined to watch as much of the show as possible, here are some episodes that you really will want to avoid.

Season 1: Episode 3, "Code of Honor" There's probably some way to describe this episode without using the phrase "a surprisingly racist piece of trash," but we're not going to waste time looking for it. Quite how nobody involved in this production realized they were making an episode wherein an all-black alien planet was depicted as tribal savages is baffling, but if only they had...

Season 1: Episode 8, "Justice" If ever there was an episode to make you convinced that the addition of a teenage Wil Wheaton to the cast was not the wisest of moves, this might be the one. Teenage wunderkind Wesley Crusher accidentally breaks the rules of an alien planet by crushing flowers and launches a diplomatic incident. Kids, amirite?

Season 1: Episode 14, "Angel One" Hey, here's a great idea: What if you tried to make a parable about the inhumanity of apartheid, but changed it from racism to sexism and then made the women the sexists? If your response is "that sounds like a terrible and potentially offensive idea," then congratulations: You're more farsighted than the people in charge of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation .

Season 2: Episode 18, "Up The Long Ladder" The Next Generation record when it comes to comedy is, admittedly, more than a little spotty, but no comedic episode is worse than this one, which has to have been created as the result of a dare along the lines of "I bet you can't create an episode based on space stereotypes about Irish people, who end up being the punchline to a joke about their need to keep breeding." Yes, it really is as bad as that sounds, amazingly.

Season 2: Episode 22, "Shades of Gray" Almost definitely the least favorite episode of Next Generation aficionados, "Shades of Gray" commits a cardinal sin for any television program: It's essentially a clip episode. Worse yet, it's the clip show that finished off the show's second season. Based on the tackiness of this, it's impressive that this show returned for Season 3 at all, never mind doing so in such a strong manner creatively.

Seasons/Episodes You Can't Skip:

The strange truth about Star Trek: The Next Generation 's appeal is that, once it hits its stride in the third season, it's remarkably consistent throughout the rest of the series. What that means in practice is that, once you reach the third season, you pretty much know what you're going to get for the next five years' worth of programming, for better or worse. That said, there are still some peaks to be found in there, like these episodes.

Season 3: Episode 26 and Season 4: Episode 1, "The Best of Both Worlds"/"The Best of Both Worlds Part II" The first of the show's big season-finale/season-opener two-parters, and easily the best, "The Best of Both Worlds" brought the crew of the Enterprise against an unstoppable foe and... watched as they lost. Or, at least, that's how things got started; the second half offers a far more satisfying climax that suggests resistance may not be entirely futile after all.

Season 4: Episode 5, "Remember Me" One of the things that later-era Next Generation did particularly well was do-over high-concept episodes: ones that seemed to be based around one big idea, only to slowly let on that something else is happening after all. "Remember Me," which opens with members of the crew disappearing one by one with no one remembering them except for Crusher, is one of the best.

Season 4: Episode 24, "The Mind's Eye" Sure, the idea of "What if one of our heroes got brainwashed by the bad guys?" sounds like it's something you've seen before, but this episode manages to play everything just right and create a surprisingly unsettling psychological drama in the process. Geordi, you always seemed so nice before...!

Season 5: Episode 2, "Darmok" Based around a suitably high-brow idea (communicating with aliens who can only speak through metaphor), what makes "Darmok" so engaging are the performances of Stewart and guest star Paul Winfield as the two stuck trying to bridge the language gap. For those who aren't into that kind of thing, there's always the first on-screen appearance of Ashley Judd, playing Wheaton's on-screen love interest. (Let that sink in. We'll wait.)

Season 5: Episode 24, "The Next Phase" For a character so often in the background of stories, La Forge certainly got some great spotlight episodes to show off his chops. In "The Next Phase," he gets to see his own funeral after an accident is believed to have killed some of the Enterprise crew—except that they're actually still alive, but invisible and intangible to everyone around them. (Yes, the use of "phase" in the title is a pun.)

Season 6: Episode 4, "Relics" A handful of faces from the original Star Trek showed up in this second series from the franchise, but none so effectively as James Doohan, playing Scotty as a man literally out of time and unsure about his place in the universe. Both funny and touching, this episode—written by Ron Moore, who'd go on to run Battlestar Galactica years later—is a charming celebration of Star Trek as a whole, and the differences between the original series and Next Generation at the same time.

Season 6: Episodes 10 and 11, "Chain of Command, Parts I & II" Picard gets tortured and interrogated behind enemy lines and his replacement decides that the Enterprise crew has been far too relaxed in its behavior until now. Next Generation might have been a serious show, but it was rarely a dark one—which makes this two-parter a welcome break from the norm and far more effective as a result.

Season 6: Episode 12, "Ship in a Bottle" Another fun episode that isn't all that it appears to be, "Ship in a Bottle" is probably the best of the series' Holodeck episodes, exploring the limits (and lack of limits, from a certain perspective) of the show's virtual reality playroom in a way that went beyond the "our characters play dress up" method it traditionally opted for. What is reality, anyway...?

Season 7: Episode 15, "Lower Decks" After six-and-a-half seasons of showing what the upper echelon of Enterprise staff gets up to, "Lower Deck" flipped things up and gave us an adventure as seen by the grunts: the ones who don't really know what's going on. For those looking for an episode in which everything is explained away easily and ends happily, this isn't going to do it for them, but if you've been wanting more of an idea of how the Enterprise works, then this really is a pretty good place to go.

Season 7: Episodes 25 and 26, "All Good Things..." The show’s final episode (a two-parter) is, impressively, one of its strongest, looking back at the earliest days of the series as well as the far-future of the characters while simultaneously retroactively imposing a structure and coherence on the last seven years that hadn't been there before. Part fan-service, part nostalgiafest and part solid episode, All Good Things..." let the show go out on top. It's something that, let's be honest, is a rarity for most shows that go on this long.

(For those who are continuity-conscious, you can't skip "Encounter at Farpoint" (Season 1, Episode 1) or "Skin of Evil" (Season 1, Episode 23) and "Q Who" (Season 2, Episode 16), either. Also, way back in 2012 , WIRED readers picked their own favorite episodes, so check that list out as well.)

Why You Should Binge:

After a rough start, Star Trek: The Next Generation proved to be a worthy successor to the original show, eschewing Star Wars -esque action and escapades in favor of television that tried to be thought-provoking and entertaining in a more cerebral manner. In the process, it became a phenomenon that didn't just set the tone for the next three Star Trek shows, but also for a lot of science fiction that followed for the next decade or so. There's a lot to enjoy in this series, and enough of it to find yourself getting sucked into the minutiae in the best ways. Before too long, you too will find yourself believing that the only way to order tea is to demand "Earl Grey, hot," and be unable to rise from a chair without self-consciously tugging down your sweater.

Best Scene—"I Am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is Futile"

The first half of the "Best of Both Worlds" two-parter has a great cliffhanger that the show never quite lived up to ever again: The Captain of the ship has been kidnapped and turned into one of the emotionless enemy, and his second-in-command has given the order to fire! How could anything be the same again after this? (Spoilers: They find a way.)

The Takeaway:

Binge-watching a show that defined the childhood of so many nerds and ne'er-do-wells? Make it so.

If You liked Star Trek: The Next Generation You'll Love:

Both of the Next Generation spin-off shows, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager play with the core DNA of the show in different ways and come up with twists on the formula. Just remember that, while the show inspired a raft of sci-fi shows in the early '90s, none of them are worth your time or attention. No, not even SeaQuest DSV . Trust us on this.

Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Star Trek: Picard’ On CBS All Access, Where Jean-Luc Picard Goes Back In Space To Fix His Biggest Mistake

Where to stream:.

  • Star Trek: Picard

Jean-Luc Picard might be the second-most-beloved  Star Trek character, behind James Tiberius Kirk. OK, maybe third, behind Spock. But he’s right up there, and that’s because of the considered, thoughtful portrayal of Picard that Sir Patrick Stewart has given the character over the past three-plus decades. Of course fans were excited to hear that Sir Patrick was going to reprise the character in a new CBS All Access series. But most of what the show is about has been kept under wraps. Will Star Trek: Picard be a worthy continuation of Picard’s story?

STAR TREK: PICARD : STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?

Opening Shot: We see various nebula as Bing Crosby croons “Blue Skies.” Then the Starship Enterprise comes into view; when we zoom in to a couple of its windows, Adm. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), in civillian clothes, is playing poker with his friend, Commander Data (Brent Spiner).

The Gist: Picard tells Data he has a “tell,” which is actually when the android forces a tell to throw Picard off the trail. Data forces Picard to go “all in,” then shows a hand of five queens, the first indication that this is a dream. All of a sudden, Picard sees that the Enterprise is hurling towards Mars. When Picard wakes up, we see that he’s at home at his vineyard, Chateau Picard, in France.

We then see a young woman with her boyfriend in Boston. They’re drinking wine and talking about her research fellowship. Suddenly, masked intruders appear out of nowhere, kill her boyfriend, and try to grab her, saying she hasn’t “activated” yet. That’s when her instincts kick in and she kills all of the intruders. Suddenly she has a vision: The face of Jean-Luc Picard.

Picard has been retired from Starfleet for 14 years, and his departure was rough to say the least. After the events close to 20 years prior, when Data sacrificed himself to save Picard from a Romulan warlord, he’s felt guilty about losing his friend ever since. But since then, he led a rescue armada to save Romulan refugees when their sun went supernova; at the same time, “synths” created on Earth went rogue, destroying Mars’ atmosphere and killing tens of thousands. Since then synths have been made illegal.

When a reporter (Merrin Dungey) asks him why he left Starfleet, he angrily replies that, after the Mars disaster, they abandoned the Romulans in their time of need. Two of those Romulans, Laris (Orla Brady) and Zhaban (Jamie McShane), work for him at the vineyard.

The next day, the woman from Boston, Dahj (Isa Briones) comes to the vineyard, looking to find answers from Picard. She runs off the next morning, though, feeling that she’ll put him in danger. But, after a strange call with her mother, she tracks Picard down to San Francisco, where Picard has gone to visit the Starfleet archives. He goes there after he has a dream about Data painting a picture of a girl, something he did 20 years prior. He has a copy in his chateau and he notices that the girl’s face sounds familiar. At the archives, he sees the other painting, and the computer, Index (Maya Eshet), tells Picard the painting is named “Daughter.”

Could Dahj be Data’s daughter? When she finds Picard in San Francisco, he broaches the idea to her, which would explain how she can defend against intruders the way she did. She thinks she’s human; she has human memories. More masked intruders chase them, and Dahj seemingly sacrifices herself to make sure Picard is safe. Those intruders turn out to be Romulan.

Picard needs answers, so he goes to Japan to the research institute that used to create synths. There he meets with Dr. Agnes Jurati (Alison Pill), who studied under the inventor of the synths. She doesn’t think that a flesh-and-blood, sentient synth was possible, but the way Data downloaded his neural net to B-4, the simulation created by the Romulan general, might have made that possible. Which is when Picard learns that these synths were created in pairs, so Dahj has a twin sister out there somewhere.

Our Take: The latest era of  Star Trek series, starting with  Discovery and continuing now with Picard , are supposed to be more down-to-earth explorations of personal stories rather than the cold, adventures-in-space format of the original series or the ’80s-’90s iterations ( TNG, DS9, Voyager ).  Picard is exactly that, but enhanced by the presence of Stewart, playing a character whose shoes he’s been in for 33 years, and Michael Chabon, the novelist-turned-showrunner who instills a level of humanity in Picard (and  Picard ) we’ve never seen before.

We’ve always known that Stewart introduced  Trek fans to a more thoughtful version of a Starfleet captain, one that felt the consequences of his orders and actions. And, as the  TNG series and films wore on, we saw more of that. But  Picard really brings home just how deeply he felt about his crew and the people he was sworn to protect, no matter whether they were friend or foe.

Stewart is certainly up for the task of playing an older, more regretful Picard who admits he hasn’t really been living since his retirement, “just waiting to die.” But that’s expected. What we were pleasantly surprised is that the story that Chabon, creator Alex Kurtzman and their writers have created is worthy of seeing an 80-year-old Picard return to space.

They’re not trying to recreate  TNG ; yes, we see Spiner, and later Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis as guest stars. Jeri Ryan will reprise Seven of Nine, and it will be interesting to watch her and Stewart share scenes together. But Data is still dead (which Spiner made sure would happen), and the story is most definitely about how Picard tries to rectify the mistakes that led to synths like Dahj to have to go into hiding. And he’ll be doing it with mostly a new crew to help him; so far, Pill and Briones have been fine scene partners for Sir Patrick, and we haven’t even seen the rest of the crew yet.

Sex and Skin: Nothing yet, and we’ll likely not see anything more than innocent romance this season.

The 11 Best Streaming Bundles and Deals We Found in 2024

Stream it or skip it: ‘star trek: lower decks’ season 4 on paramount+, featuring the continuing (mis)adventures of starfleet’s proudest platoon members, best star trek gifts for trekkie fans in 2023, stream it or skip it: 'star trek: strange new worlds' season 2 on paramount+, where the crew of the uss enterprise keep on seeking the great unknown.

Parting Shot: Dahj’s twin sister Soji is seen on what is labeled a “Romulan Reclamation Project,” providing counsel to a Romulan named Narek (Harry Treadway). When the camera pans back, we see what the reclamation project is: A Borg cube. My, my, my….

Sleeper Star:  Let’s give this to Picard’s pit bull, Number One. Stewart has mentioned that he wanted Picard’s best pal to be a pit bull, and it’s great to see the unfairly maligned breed represented so well on a major series.

Most Pilot-y Line: When Picard confirms with Index that no one else has access to the Enterprise archives, she replies, “Yes, unless you prefer to sell tickets.” “Is that humor?” he asks. “I’m trying something new,” she replies. “Don’t quit your day job,” he says. There’s a lot of that kind of stuff in the first episode, which is fine; we always thought  TNG took itself too seriously. But this one felt like more of a throw-in.

Our Call: STREAM IT. Remember:  Trek wasn’t created to sustain heavy story arcs; yes, the more modern iterations had story arcs in the background, but they were still subordinate to adventure-of-the-week stories. That’s changed with  Discovery and  Picard , and if there’s any character in the  Trek universe that can carry a season-long story arc, it’s Jean-Luc Picard. We’re excited to see what’s next.

Kenneth Mitchell, 'Star Trek: Discovery' and 'Captain Marvel' actor, dies at 49 after ALS diagnosis

2018 Star Trek Convention Las Vegas

Kenneth Mitchell, the actor who starred in "Star Trek: Discovery" and "Captain Marvel," died Saturday. He was 49 years old. 

“With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Kenneth Alexander Mitchell, beloved father, husband, brother, uncle, son, and dear friend to many,” his family said in a statement shared on Instagram. 

Mitchell died after a 5 ½-year struggle with Lou Gehrig’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. 

Despite the “series of awful challenges” Mitchell faced as a result of the disease, his family said, he “managed to rise above each one with grace and commitment to living a full and joyous life in each moment.” 

Mitchell, born Nov. 24, 1974, in Toronto, rose to fame for his portrayal of the Klingons Kol, Kol-Sha and Tenavik, as well as Aurellio, on "Star Trek: Discovery," and for playing Joseph Danvers in "Captain Marvel." 

He also acted in the hockey drama "Miracle" and appeared on "Grey’s Anatomy," "NCIS" and "Criminal Minds," among others. 

The “Star Trek” universe paid tribute to Mitchell on its website Sunday, saying it was “deeply saddened” by his passing.

“The entire Star Trek family sends their condolences to Mitchell’s family, friends, loved ones, and fans around the world,” it said. 

His family remembered him, among other things, as a “hope seeker,” “dream believer,” “beach walker” and “garden grower,” but most of all as a “proud father.” 

He is survived by his wife, Susan, and their children, Lilah and Kallum. His family said he requested that any gifts be directed toward research for the disease, also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. 

According to a passage Mitchell wrote and shared in the tribute, he wished to be buried under the roots of a tree, "so I can be soaked up, all my matter, my energy, my love, my laughter, my tears and I want to reach up through the branches and touch the night sky.”

Kenneth Mitchell, an actor best known for his roles in Star Trek: Discovery , has died at age 49 from complications of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), his family shared on Sunday.

“With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Kenneth Alexander Mitchell, beloved father, husband, brother, uncle, son, and dear friend to many,” his family said in a statement posted to X.

Mitchell, who played multiple alien Klingon characters in Star Trek , appeared in a number of sci-fi projects over his career, including the post-apocalyptic TV drama Jericho, and most recently in Captain Marvel .

The actor was diagnosed with ALS in 2018, which he revealed to the public in a 2020 interview with People. The neurodegenerative disease, which causes the loss of physical function, led Mitchell to require the use of a wheelchair since 2019.

“For five and a half years, Ken faced a series of awful challenges from ALS. And in truest Ken fashion, he managed to rise above each one with grace and commitment to living a full and joyous life in each moment,” his family’s statement reads.

Star Trek Picard Spinoff Project May Be Canceled By Paramount

  • A solo spin-off series for an iconic Star Trek character is unlikely to happen, disappointing fans who were hoping for one.
  • The appearance of the character Q in Star Trek: Picard had fans speculating about a potential spin-off, but the actor himself doesn't think it will happen.
  • The actor behind Q believes that the character works best when exploring big philosophical issues, and he has given thought to what Q could do in another appearance.

A Star Trek: Picard spin-off might not happen, as the actor behind an iconic character fans hoped to see get their show has revealed that the odds aren’t high that a solo series will materialize.

Star Trek : The Next Generation is set a century ahead of the original series on the timeline and introduces a whole new cast of characters vastly different from the ones seen in The Original Series and led by the iconic Captain Jean Luc Picard, one of the most notable roles in the career of the legendary Patrick Stewart. While Ian Mckellan advised Stewart against working on Star Trek , he would go on to take the lead role and become one of the most memorable parts of the franchise.

Star Trek: 5 Impressive Things Spock Did Before Joining The USS Enterprise

Picard would go on to be at the center of some of Star Trek: The Next Generation 's best episodes and would gain popularity sufficient that the character would get a spinoff show after Paramount revived the franchise. While that show concluded with the well-received third season, the appearance of the character Q had a lot of fans expecting a spin-off show. Speaking to TrekMovie's All Access Star Trek podcast , John de Lancie shared his thoughts on filming his cameo for Star Trek: Picard 's impactful post-credit scene that brought back the character after his apparent demise at the end of Picard 's second season, in which he sacrificed himself to help Picard and crew return to their proper place in time. Unfortunately for hopeful fans, the news wasn’t what they’d like to hear, as the star himself shared with some disappointment.

Well, most post-credits scenes are [a setup for something else], so I took it as that. In reading it I went, ‘Oh well, there it is! There is the baton. There’s the jump-off for the next show.’ I don’t think at this point, it will happen. There was a fun period that it looked like it could happen. But then there was the writers’ strike, which took a lot of people’s attention away. I don’t think that they expected that season 3 was going to be as good and as well-received. They had already decided on another show. They were already moving in another direction. But it was certainly a really valiant and well-appreciated finale to The Next Generation.

While his hopes are nowhere near high, de Lancie has considered what the Q character could do in another appearance. “My involvement has always been as a catalyst, as a disrupter, as a character that pushes the envelope and makes everybody hopefully learn something,” de Lancie explained. “That’s one. Two, I think that the character works best—and also its position in Star Trek works best—if what I bring are big philosophical issues. I think that’s when we do the best work.” This view of the character is spot on, as expected from the man himself. Through his nigh-omnipotent acts of mischief, Q has bestowed lessons as important as teaching Picard to learn from his mistakes and much more. With his visit to Jack Crusher at the end of Picard , it seems likely that if Q is to make another appearance, it will be in just such a role.

While the idea certainly appeals to fans, those in charge of the big decisions might not be willing to go there, as even fans are worried that Star Trek is emulating Star Wars ' mistakes by producing so much content for streaming. As things stand, fans can only wait and see when Q will return to the screen.

Star Trek: Picard is currently available for streaming on Paramount Plus.

Star Trek is a space exploration franchise originally created by Gene Roddenberry. The series has spanned shows like The Original Series, The Next Generation, and Voyager. More recently, developer Scopely came out with Star Trek Fleet Command, a mobile title where you get to be captain of your own ship.
