Jessie is back and just like Shaxs with no explanation! Ok, actually she was just sick. But in this episode Aaron and Jessie take a hard look at how they feel about Shaxs coming back from the great beyond after some real heartfelt emotion in the season one finale. They also wonder about how Orions are treated in society, if Tom Paris gets tired of being told "Don't get us lost in the Delta quadrant!" and yeah, what WAS up with T'Pol's haircut?!

The Star Trek Easter eggs on the collector's ship in “Kayshon, His Eyes Open,” are nearly infinite but the Drawn To Trek is on the case! This week John Cooley joins Aaron Harvey for an oversized episode as they collect all the Easter eggs they can find! Aaron and John lament the death of Spock Two, debate what they wanted to forget more: The Mask from “Masks” or the candle from “Sub Rosa” and John tells us a story about why the Titan missile from “First Contact” is more than just a prop for he and his family. You can check out the annotated Easter egg list used in the show on Aaron's twitter feed @geekfilter for even MORE Easter eggs than what we found in time for the show! AND we also have a video version of this show that will be posted on the Trek Geeks YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/Trekgeeks/ with lots of visual goodies edited in.

This week it was like Geek Christmas morning as we all stumbled out out bed bleary eyed and sat down to the computer to open up our Star Trek gifts in the form of two Comic-Con panels hosted by Commander Ransom himself, Jerry O'Connell. First off we learned more about the world of Star Trek: Prodigy! We heard about the characters, the voice talents and got a teaser trailer showcasing the world and the latest Trek hero ship, the USS Protostar And of course the 'scrappy underdogs' can't be left out! We got an easter-egg/callback laden two minute trailer for Star Trek: Lower Decks as well as predictably off the rails banter from the cast and crew. So Join Aaron Harvey and Jessie Gender for analysis, commentary and lots of squeeing! And remember when in doubt, blame the Temporal Wars!
