'Starfleet Academy' Review: 'Star Trek' Doesn't Care About the Teens

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' is too enamored with nostalgia and too detached from its teen drama subgenre. But hey, at least Holly Hunter has fun.

I'll never understand why Funkhauser didn't shoot Larry at some point. Just sayin'..

By means of some weird niche TV channel I have the opportunity to watch the 1990s version of The Outer Limits. I'm a big fan of the original show from the 1960s and this iteration is mostly inferior in comparison.

Many episodes are retreads of familiar concepts or plots from more well-known movies or TV shows like Alien or Star Trek, there's hardly an original idea. There are of course some outstanding episodes like 'I Robot' a remake of the 1960s episode of the same name and both are starring Leonard Nimoy! If nothing else you can play guess-who because a ton of actors, directors from well-known genre franchises like Star Trek, Stargate, X-Files are in almost any episode.

Why is there no such thing as antigravity?

#AskEthan

In our Universe, everything that we know of experiences the influence of gravity.

But if there are antiparticles, why isn't there any antigravity?
