At the end of the 1994 film "Star Trek: Generations," the tried-and-true U.S.S. Enterprise-d crash-landed into Veridian III after a run-in with a sneaky Klingon vessel. The ship was damaged beyond repair, and the crew walked away, completely unsentimental about the ship's destruction. They were merely happy to be alive. In the 1996 follow-up film, "Star Trek: First Contact," the same crew was gathered on board the all-new U.S.S. Enterprise-e, a Sovereign-class vessel that was a bit smaller, but faster and much better armed. The crew stayed on board the Enterprise-e through the events of 2002's "Star Trek: Nemesis," the fourth and final film to star the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" characters.

The Enterprise-e was also severely damaged at the end of "Star Trek: Nemesis," although it seemed that this time, it could be repaired. After the events of "Nemesis,...

A Star Trek fan theory may solve Star Trek: Picard's mystery of what happened to the USS Enterprise-e, which Captain Worf (Michael Dorn) claims was not his fault. Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 9, "Vox," saw the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation come aboard the rebuilt USS Enterprise-d. En route to the Enterprise's dock at the Fleet Museum, however, Worf's Tng friends teased him about the fate of the Enterprise-e, and the Klingon insisted, "That was not my fault." What happened to the Enterprise-e remains an open question Star Trek: Picard left behind.

The Sovereign Class USS Enterprise-e was launched in 2373 prior to Star Trek: First Contact. Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) commanded the Enterprise-e in three Star Trek: The Next Generation movies, including First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection, and Star Trek: Nemesis. Star Trek: Picard season 1 revealed that Captain Picard received a promotion to Admiral in 2381 to...

Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel could have the potential solution for the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it navigates a challenging landscape marked by dwindling audience reception and uncertainty. With the exit of Jonathan Majors from his role as Kang the Conqueror, a planned overarching villain, Marvel Studios faces the daunting task of redefining its narrative trajectory.

However, amidst these challenges, there is a glimmer of hope found in a comic arc revolving around the Kree warrior, where Vox Supreme abducts her and assigns her the task of eliminating the Avengers within a tight deadline of twenty-four hours. It could potentially serve as the beacon of redemption for the MCU, offering a fresh thematic direction and revitalizing the studio’s faltering legacy, along with putting the Marvel superhero upfront among Avengers.

Warning: Spoilers for Star Trek: Picard Finale - "The Last Generation"Star Trek: Picard season 3's breakout star Ed Speleers describes what it was like playing Jack Crusher meeting Q (John de Lancie). Written and directed by Terry Matalas, Picard's season 3 finale, "The Last Generation," wrapped up the story of Star Trek: The Next Generation in an emotional and satisfying way. Meanwhile, Ensign Jack Crusher, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard's (Patrick Stewart) son, takes his place aboard the new USS Enterprise-g, where he gets a surprise visit from Q.

Warning: Spoilers for Star Trek: Picard Season 3Star Trek: Picard inadvertently hit on a great standalone movie idea about the beloved Klingon warrior Worf (Michael Dorn) as Captain of the USS Enterprise-e. Paramount+ is making the jump to producing Star Trek feature films, with the upcoming Section 31 starring Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh as the first entry. While there is no shortage of ideas for what could make a compelling Star Trek movie, Star Trek: Picard season 3 proved there's an epic story to be told with Worf.

Worf's return became one of the most beloved aspects of Star Trek: Picard season 3, now something of a warrior monk with an unmatched ability to deliver a punchline. Intriguingly, in the Picard season 3 episode "Vox," while on the run from the Borg, Commodore Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) notes that Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his crew need to use an older ship...

Does Janelle James (“Abbott Elementary”) have a better chance of winning the Emmy for Best Comedy Supporting Actress than Gold Derby’s racetrack odds may suggest? She’s currently third place behind Hannah Waddingham (“Ted Lasso”) and Hannah Einbinder (“Hacks”), but I think our awards pundits are greatly underestimating James’ bravura performance as Principal Ava Coleman on ABC’s mockumentary series about a group of Philadelphia teachers working at one of the worst public schools in the country. As Alison Herman raves in The Ringer, “Janelle James is the breakout as Ava, the deliciously incompetent principal.” Emmy voters, take notice.

Created by Quinta Brunson, “Abbott Elementary” has been a huge hit for broadcast television and it received seven Emmy nominations, including Best Comedy Series. Four of the actors from the show were nominated: Brunson for Best Comedy Actress, Tyler James Williams for Best Comedy Supporting Actor, and James and Sheryl Lee Ralph...
