{4.5/5} “‘You have poor social skills. You have a problem.’ ‘I have a problem? You say more inappropriate things than appropriate things.’” Pat has been in a mental health institution for 8 months because he beat up the guy who was sleeping with his wife. Pat is still having issues but his mom decides it’s […]
{4.5/5} “Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.” In the past a runaway slave asks a young lawyer to help him — or kill him. In the more recent past, an aging composer who hasn’t produced […]
{4.5/5} “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” Kirk has disobeyed the rules one too many times — this time to save Spock’s life — and is busted down to commander. Then a man named John Harrison blows up a Starfleet facility. The facility is not what it seemed, and the […]

{5/5} “In the long run, the best strategy for cultural longevity was either to sit tight in a single system, or become like the Lines, entirely unshackled from planetary life. Expansionism worked for a while, but was ultimately futile. Not that that stopped new emergents from trying, even when they had six million years of […]
{5/5} “I was thinking of writing a book called ‘A Brief History of the Time I Made Stephen Hawking Cry Like a Little Girl.’” Howard has some trouble with the other astronauts on the Space Station, Sheldon hires an assistant, Penny takes a college class, and Sheldon and Howard fight over a parking spot. Sheldon […]
{5/5} “The notion of transwarp beaming is like trying to hit a bullet with a smaller bullet whilst wearing a blindfold riding a horse.” James T. Kirk is attending Starfleet Academy when the fleet is called to investigate something unusual happening on Vulcan. When the Enterprise arrives they discover that it’s being attacked by Nero, a […]
{4.5/5} “If a happening happened and you didn’t know that it happened, did it happen?” Jess loses her teaching job, and Cece gets engaged.
