Happy 2023 everybody. We all hope you had a great holiday season. This time of year, many of us find ourselves at parties with coworkers having conversations we wouldn't normally have, and here aboard our starship, it's no different. Occasionally you find yourself in a conversation that you were not prepared for, like when your new Transporter Chief officer says something like “I never understood the appeal of Star Trek”. Once we were all done hitting him with our Lirpas, we realized this could actually be used as a teaching moment. We invited our new Transporter Chief Eric to watch one of the best, if not the absolute best of the episodes from the original Star Trek, Balance of Terror. Topics The cold open (3:01) Their war, not yours (4:08) I wish Star Trek wasn't so woke, like it was back in the good ole days (8:35) He's a sorcerer that one…he reads the thoughts of my brain (15:21) I regret we meet this way…you and I are of a kind.

For the first time in over a decade there would be new episodes of Trek playing in homes… but some Trek fans being fragile whiny man babies, it was met with mixed reviews and mean words.

In 2005 Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled, and for the first time in 18 years there was no Star Trek on TV. A few years earlier Star Trek the next generation had crashed and burned at the theater so there was no Trek in theaters, either. It was a dark time for Trekkies, but there was a glimmer of hope on the horizon.

When the commander and his crew arrive, they discover survivors and one of them, a beautiful young woman.

After trying to sell Star Trek to various networks, NBC eventually ordered a pilot. They were not overly impressed with The Cage, finding it to be cerebral and confusing. After most of the characters were recast and a completely new story written, they ordered a second pilot, which would become what we now know as the first episode of Star Trek. Later, in season one, The Cage was cut up and reused to make the only two part episode in the original series, The Menagerie. Topics preconceived notions? the state of TV in 1965 return to Star Trek Is… Pike seems worn down Spock's limp black and white vs color The Talosian Plan Is Pike a man of faith? blonds, brunettes, and red heads Vina was the real victim Colt and Pike? not so subtle sexism Vina's a pilot some pilot level weirdness Jeffery Hunter's death Spock swipes Pike justification for the death penalty Spock's master plan Talosian illusion reach sins forgiven?

After poking around the Memory Alpha wiki, we stumbled on to the Star Trek Is... document that Gene Roddenberry used to pitch Star Trek. Reading through, it seemed like good episode fodder, because it touched on some stuff that Jeremy wanted to talk about when he first pitched the show to Chris. Since this is the document that basically sets up the entire franchise, it's still relevant, even for a Captain Pike heavy show.
