April

When I launched this website in 1998, the design problems or uncertainties of the original Enterprise such as the orientation of the bridge were known for decades and had already been investigated in detail. But I feel EAS isn't complete without a comprehensive article on the topic. So here it is: Design Issues of the Original Enterprise.

I have upgraded two more of Jörg's old observation articles: Observations in TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom" and Observations in TNG: "Skin of Evil".

Two more Voyager season 6 retro reviews, of the Doctor's hilarious daydreams taking an unexpected turn in "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy" and of Tom's fatal attraction to a manipulative shuttle in "Alice".

An EAE Award goes to MeWho Rob, for creating the legendary System 47 screensaver and other stunning LCARS animations with an incredible level of variations and of detail.

The new Strange New Worlds season 3 trailer promises a lot of fun but also exemplifies some inherent problems of the series. Read my full comment.

 

March

I have added more images from the Official Starships Collection to several galleries, such as of the Galaxy class and the Sovereign class.

Several additions and improvements in Jörg's article on Observations in TNG: "Galaxy's Child".

Two more Voyager retro reviews, of Seven's encounter with her past companions in "Survival Instinct" and B'Elanna's journey to Klingon hell in "Barge of the Dead".

I have added considerations on the USS Equinox to the article on Starship Size Issues.

Complete redesign of the Journal of Applied Treknology. Although there have been hardly any updates in recent years, the bad colors and tiny font sizes as well as the ghastly code (thank you, Frontpage!) annoyed me so much that I spent several days to recode it. Please tell me if there are display problems with certain browsers or devices. While I was at it, I also added six new designs.

I have updated the Links and added a new link for each one I had to remove. Do good and visit another Trek site today!

The Episode Master List now allows to create different forms of diagrams (bar chart, histogram) with filtered or sorted episode data. Let me know if there are any problems with any browser.

 

February

Here are two more Voyager retro reviews, of "Warhead" with Harry and the stubborn bomb and of the exciting multilayered conflicts in "Equinox I/II".

Find numerous additions and improvements in Jörg's article on Observations in TNG: "First Contact".

Two more TNG season 1 observation articles have been upgraded: Observations in TNG: "Coming of Age" and Observations in TNG: "Heart of Glory".

I have uploaded about 100 high-resolution photos of studio miniatures to the Starship Gallery, such as of several Federation shuttles, of Deep Space 9 or of the USS Yamaguchi. Please follow the signs to see all updates.

Jörg identifies the Paintings and Photos in Picard's Study in PIC season 1 in a new article.

I have improved two more of Jörg's oldest TNG observation articles with more references and better pictures: Observations in TNG: "Home Soil" and Observations in TNG: "When the Bough Breaks".

Just a quick note that I have added the ships and other facts from "Section 31" to various pages of the site.

 

January

Final update to the EAS Fleet Yards: high-resolution orthos of Asia class, Eclipse class and Asia refit.

Here is my full-spoiler review of "Section 31" with Michelle Yeoh. The comments are open, as are the guest reviews. Please share your opinion on the streaming movie. Anyone who thinks it doesn't suck?

Here is a new list: All Star Trek Movies Ranked. Feel free to post your personal order in the comments.

I have added more columns to the Episode Master List, such as "Air date" and "Episode ID", which allow to sort the episodes and movies in still different ways.

Proud to present the configurable Episode Master List of all currently 907 episode/movie reviews at EAS, with links to the review pages and pictures. I may add more columns and more filter functions in the future. The script is linked from each episode index page, such as the one of Lower Decks and should facilitate finding a particular episode a lot. Note that the default series order is EAS-specific (the same as they appear in the menu). As I mentioned, its is possible to add more options but that will require external data I don't have yet.

Happy New Year 2025! I haven't prepared new content yet, but here are some highlights from 2024 you may have missed. There is an article identifying the Chinese Writing in Noonien Soong's Labs. Jörg explores The History of the Betazoid Emblem. All Fleet Charts are up to date (for the first time in years). Also, be sure to check out many new images in the Starship Gallery. And as always, the Starship Database is complete with all designs from the latest seasons (DIS, PRO, LOW).
