[Review] Star Trek: Starfleet Academy The Delta Anomaly

 


During the 2010s, is when I got into Star Trek, and it was in part due to the Kelvin Timeline films. I enjoy Spuhura, and naturally, I wanted to read about the build-up to their relationship because in the films they're already together as a couple. Ultimately, this ended up leading me to get the first novel of the Starfleet Academy series set in the Kelvin Timeline.

The plot of the novel is a serial killer from long ago has returned, and the main heroes of the story get caught in his crosshairs; essentially the novel is a murder mystery.

+Positives

  • The initial premise of the novel was interesting, it hooks you in.
  • Uhura getting to showcase her xenolinguistics prowess.
  • Getting to see more of the main casts' time at the academy. 

-Negatives

  • Uhura gets sidelined about halfway through the book which was disappointing.
  • The resolution towards the end of the novel wasn't satisfying. 
  • Sometimes the multi-point-of-view switching was annoying. 

Overall, I found the novel decent but it could have been better. At first, I was going to get the rest of the three novels of this series. However, I have lost interest in doing so because I don't want to slug through parts that will be a chore or don't interest me as much. Plus I've read some of the comics and fanfics which have done things better.

I can't say that I would proudly recommend this book. However, if you're a completionist and want to read every novel out there that has been released for the Kelvin Timeline then you'll probably want to add this one to your collection.

[List] My Top 10 Favorite Saved by the Bell Episodes

  Saved by the Bell (1989) Peter Engel Productions//NBC Productions (NBC) I grew up watching reruns of Saved by the Bell, and I decided to list my top 10 favorite episodes from the show. Therefore, there will be no episodes from Good Morning, Miss Bliss. 10. "Drinking and Driving" This particular episode presented an important message in a manner that didn't come across as preachy and it really resonated. The message presented was loud and clear and so were the potential consequences of drinking and driving. 9. "All in the Mall" I enjoyed all of the hijinks that ensued during this episode. Imagine spending the night at the mall to buy some concert tickets.  8. "The Wicked Stepbrother (Part 2)" Eric was a good foil to Zack and gave him the runaround. Also, it was nice that Lisa was able to have her own serious love interest that lasted for more than one episode.  7. "Fourth of July" I enjoyed the overall premise of this episode. For example, t...

[Opinion] In the Future, it's Going to Become Harder to Book Headlining Talent for the Super Bowl

  Pretty much every Super Bowl Sunday there are 4 things people look forward to the actual game, the commercials, the food, and the Super Bowl Half-Time Show. However, going forward it's going to become increasingly difficult for the NFL to book Headlining talent who's never performed at the Super Bowl before, and here's why: The music industry is not producing Popstars or music Superstars anymore. In the Digital Age of Media, everything's become fractured and decentralized. Right now, the music industry veterans are carrying the industry on their backs.  Old or older music is currently outselling the new or newer music that's being released. There are only a handful of musicians left who've never headlined the Super Bowl that could potentially put on a fantastic show worthy of a Football Stadium.

[Self-Help] Journaling

  Greetings! I recognize that with all that's occurring in the world right now it's a stressful and anxiety-inducing time of uncertainty. However, people must practice self-care more than ever and take necessary breaks. One way to do that is through journaling. Journaling your own thoughts, concerns, feelings, or experiences often is a therapeutic way to alleviate stress and negative emotions that you have bottled up inside of yourself. It's not good to allow for these types of emotions to stay within you as they can negatively impact and eat away at you over time.  I found it's best to journal at your own leisure others found that it's best to set aside some time each day for journaling. However, you should do what works best for you.  It's quite simple to get started journaling you don't need to buy a fancy journal; a spiral notebook or even a composition notebook can serve as your journal. Therefore, I encourage you to incorporate journaling into your sel...
