That's right. This is the Star Trek to Dukes of Hazzard crossover that will have Ryan Brutt and I on the same side of the fight….until this episode is over, of course. Plot: Boss Hogg's umpteenth previously unnamed nephew shows up in Hazzard to make some ill gotten gains…only to accidentally fall in love with Daisy Duke. That's all well and good except Boss Hogg, Uncle Jessie, and all of the evil business partners are against it…and to make things worse, the evil guys want Daisy killed before she learns too much! But then the Hogg wants to marry the Duke and the evil partners think it's so sweet. This leads to every body panel on Rosco's patrol car being surgically removed in a hilarious fashion, a massive car chase, a few recycled car jumps, and a remarkable amount of improv by Tom and John. Oh, and they don't get married and live happily ever after, either. And by next weeks show this will all be long forgotten! Show Rating: 1701 Corndogs!

This show introduced us to some of the most iconic characters in television history and took us on a journey through space that we'll never forget. Today, we'll be diving into the characters of TNG and discussing some of our favorite moments from the show. So, without further ado, let's begin! First up, we have the captain of the USS Enterprise - Jean-Luc Picard. Picard is one of the most respected and admired characters in the Star Trek franchise, and for good reason. He's a natural leader, a brilliant strategist, and an all-around great guy. Some of our favorite moments with Picard include his interactions with Q, the time he was assimilated by the Borg, and his epic speeches about the importance of exploration and discovery. Next up, we have the ship's first officer - Commander William Riker. Riker is known for his charming personality, his incredible trombone skills, and his love of jazz. He's also a fantastic leader in his own right and has saved the ship on more than one occasion. Some of our favorite Riker moments include his relationship with Troi, his beard (of course), and his epic trombone duet with Data. Speaking of Data, he's our next character on the list. Data is an android who is fascinated by human behavior and strives to become more human himself. He's also incredibly intelligent and has saved the ship and its crew countless times. Some of our favorite Data moments include his attempts at humor, his friendship with Geordi, and his exploration of his own programming and limitations. Geordi La Forge is the chief engineer of the Enterprise, and he's also one of our favorite characters. He's a brilliant engineer who can fix just about anything, and he's also incredibly kind and compassionate. Some of our favorite Geordi moments include his relationship with Data, his ability to see through his VISOR, and his friendship with Barclay. Deanna Troi is the ship's counselor, and she's also half-Betazoid, which means she has empathic abilities. Troi is a warm and compassionate character who always puts the well-being of her patients first. Some of our favorite Troi moments include her relationship with Riker, her ability to sense danger, and her strong connection to her mother, Lwaxana. Worf is the ship's chief security officer, and he's also the only Klingon on board. Worf is a fierce warrior who takes his job seriously, but he's also a complex character who struggles with his identity and his place in the universe. Some of our favorite Worf moments include his relationships with other Klingons, his love for prune juice, and his epic battles with the Borg.

This week we had the pleasure of sitting down and speaking with Jonathan Frakes. A prolific actor/director and advocate, Jonathan Frakes is known for his role in Star Trek: The Next Generation as Commander William Riker.You can support PanCan at:https://secure.pancan.org/site/SPageServer/?pagename=purplestride_homeThe trio also reviews two episodes from season six of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

You know Jonathan Franks from his role as Commander William Riker on "Star Trek: The Next Generation! He's such a warm, down to earth guy to talk to...so we did!! We tell you about a place you have to visit from where he and Nikki both have lived out in Maine..also..getting the chance to direct episodes of Star Trek: the Next Generation..and the charity he is trying to help in a big way called Purple Stride for pancreatic cancer.

Thomas Riker, Season 7 - Part 1In the second part of our trilogy on the transporter-created character of Lieutenant Thomas Riker, we continue to explore how Thomas could have changed the course of The Next Generation. In the creation of the "Second Chances" story, some writers raised the possibility of killing off Commander William Riker, and - in essence - replacing him with Thomas Riker, allowing Data to become the new first officer of the Enterprise-D, and allowing new adventures to unfold. We examine the first half of season seven of TNG, exploring how the death of Cmdr Riker, the promotion of Data, and the integration of Thomas Riker would affect the rest of the episodes. How do Picard and Thomas relate to each other during the events of the two-parter "Gambit"? How does the surprise reappearance of Will Riker work in "Parallels"? Let us know if you prefer a Thomas or Will timeline during season seven.

While the #IATSE strike is still tentatively taking place, we're disconnecting our streaming services and talking about some more offline media. In this case, Amy is bringing out an erotic Star Trek novel she's been reading and listening to. The audiobook is narrated by Johnathan Frakes, the actor who plays Commander William Riker in Trek.

TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds Strange New Worlds Goes To Wrap 1 By Cat Hough Last week, Anson Mount tweeted that filming for the last episode of Season 1 for Strange New Worlds has started. He also hinted at some surprises in store, saying, “old school fans are going to [be] VERY excited to see what we're trying to pull off with this one. Getting to do many things I've never attempted as an actor. So much fun!" https://twitter.com/ansonmount/status/1412781659376787459?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1412781659376787459%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffilmdaily.co%2Fobsessions%2Fstar-trek%2Fstrange-new-worlds%2F No release date has been announced for Strange New Worlds, but to recap what we do know about it: first, it is more episodic than Discovery or Picard. Second, it will likely have a more classic Original Series theme and look. Showrunner Akiva Goldsman said it's important to keep continuity with The Original Series, while also distinguishing Strange New Worlds as its own show. Can't even tell the difference. Image: ViacomCBS. Goldsman described it to The Hollywood Reporter saying, “Remember the Enterprise existed as a little piece of [the show Discovery] but now is its own object. When you close your eyes and think of the key sets and situations that you think of in The Original Series, that's what we're looking to do." We may possibly get more information during Comic-Con@Home since a Star Trek Universe panel has been announced–though my best guess will be sometime in early 2022.  Star Trek@Comic-Con@Home By Cat Hough Speaking of the San Diego Comic-Con–or the virtual version, Comic-Con@Home–Paramount+ announced back-to-back Star Trek panels starting Friday, July 23 at 10 a.m. PT. Paramount+'s Comic-Con panels will feature sessions with the cast and producers from Star Trek: Prodigy and Star Trek: Lower Decks. Images: ViacomCBS/Comic-Con International, via Deadline. Prodigy, the first Star Trek animated kids series [TAS doesn't count, we've been over this already–Ed.], will kick off the presentation with Lower Decks set to follow. The Prodigy presentation will be the inaugural panel for the upcoming kids series, following a crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together, while navigating a greater galaxy in search of a better future. These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered, but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents. Lower Decks voice cast members Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid and Eugene Cordero will then appear with creator Mike McMahan for an exclusive conversation and an extended look at Season 2 with Lower Decks' own Jerry O'Connell moderating the conversations. And speaking of Lower Decks… Lower Decks Season 2, Coming Through! By Rosco McQueen It's officially one month until Lower Decks returns to the screen for season two, with a very short teaser released this week.  While the teaser was short, in Lower Decks fashion it was brimming with details.  In the opening shot alone we saw the Cerritos alongside some Parliament-class starships, Andorian cruisers, a Maquis Raider and a couple of Daedalus-class ships, all docked at a starbase that seems inspired by the Watchtower-class from Trek-lit novels. In the teaser Mariner and Boimler crash through a space mall in a space dune buggy, and narrowly avoid some space fish people [they're not people!–Ed.] originally seen in The Next Generation.  The lower deckers sport some flashy new dress uniforms, and just to add to the mix, some Commander Data collectable figurines fly out the back of the buggy.   https://twitter.com/StarTrek/status/1414630633448480776?s=20 Did we miss anything?  Let us know in the comment section at priorityonepodcast.com. Quick News Roundup Here are a few headlines that we didn't discuss but might interest you. The first four Star Trek films are being re-released...this time in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision and HDR10. What does that mean? You'll be able to make out every follicle of Ricardo Montalban's chest hair [what are you on about, dude was smoother than Michael Phelps on a Slip'n'Slide–Ed.]! Packed with extra features (much like Khan's chest) this 4-disc set doesn't have a release date yet but, we'll be sure to keep you updated! While we're talking about merch, Playmates just announced a new line of Star Trek toys coming in 2022. According to StarTrek.com, there will be a lineup of action figures and accessories from all era's of the franchise–new and old. Star Trek also gets to celebrate some recognition with five Emmy nominations this year. Discovery is up for Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup, Outstanding Period And/Or Character Makeup (Non-Prosthetic), Outstanding Sound Editing For A Comedy Or Drama Series, and Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Single Episode. Lower Decks has been nominated for Outstanding Sound Editing For A Comedy Or Drama Series. STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds Taking Some Time On Mudd's Market By Rosco McQueen Harcourt Fenton Mudd is at it again, scouring the galaxy to bring you deals and gear from across time itself.  This week Star Trek Online announced three previous event rewards are joining Mudd's Market.

Hard-earned Zen can be put to use with every item in Mudd's Market (except the bundles) discounted by 75% until July 19 at 10am PT.

Courtesy Codes for Wayward Planeswalkers By Thomas Reynolds Magic: Legends may be headed towards shutdown in a few months, but Cryptic apparently hopes you'll stick around. There's been no official announcement at the time of recording [sort of–Ed.], but check your email if you played the Legends beta test at any point. You may find free codes for other Cryptic MMO bundles, including a STO Federation Elite Starter Pack and a Fleet Admiral Bundle–a combined US$70 value–as a thank-you for participating. Commanding Time In Star Trek Fleet Command By Rosco McQueen It's the best of both worlds, only this time it's part three!  The third section of Star Trek Fleet Command's Next Generation arc has just landed, with Commander William T. Riker in the spotlight. Patch 32 brings with it a new officer, a new ship and, for Star Trek Online players, some familiar gameplay elements to the Kelvin Universe.   “With the Enterprise-D mysteriously returned to its former glory, the time has come to find and rescue the rest of the crew and get them home to their own universe. You manage to track down Commander William Riker, who finds himself at the forefront of the Bajoran resistance against the rampant Cardassian Empire. And with the Cardassians holding many Enterprise-D crew members captive, the conflict is personal for Riker.” Amazing, The Beard actually overpowers the lens flare. Image: Scopely. Also there are some changes to the Away Team assignments. Introduced in Patch 30, this feature gives you the possibility to send officers on Assignments and receive rewards. Now the assignments are part of your daily goals, giving players the ability to gain more daily goal points and more speed ups. So in STO terms, duty officer assignments have been added to the endeavor system. Available to players in this patch is a new officer: Epic William Riker, a new ship: the Meridian, an isogen mining vessel, fifteen new missions and more.

Topic: Star Trek Tutorial We've been talking alot about fantasy and wrestling, and figured we needed to get back hard in to Nerdy stuff.  Thus, one of the most popular fantasy topics, I present Star Trek.   Tutorial Broad-scope of Star Trek, not in-depth. Created by Gene RoddenberryOriginally pitched as “Wagon Train to the stars.”Each episode was meant to work on to levels, one of morality and one of suspenseful adventure stories. Trekkie or Trekker = Star Trek Fan Things to know:Enterprise is main ShipStarfleet is like united nations: Peaceful, Diplomatic, Explorers, multiple Alien RacesKlingons = bad, but not all the timeSymbol for Starfleet is the Starfleet Delta, it changes through out time.Many gadgets and inventions made their way to real life (iPads, Cellphones, wireless communicators, Alexa/Google home)Uniforms have a purpose, which shows ranks and which division you are withCaptains = Main Character Enterprise (22nd Century)•The Original Series (1966–1969) on CBS A bit more in the vein of “Wagon Train to the Stars”.

A Time to Love. As Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise continue to deal with the fallout from their disastrous mission at the Rashanar battle site, a new crisis threatens to unravel the civilization on an alien colony. A murder has been committed in a society that has known nothing but peace for a century, and at the center of it all: Kyle Riker, Commander William Riker's father! In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther discuss A Time to Love, the fifth novel in the A Time To series and the first part of a duology by Robert Greenberger. We talk about the Enterprise's damaged reputation, Troi's efforts to deal with a despondent crew, Kyle Riker's role in a unfolding planetary crisis, a particularly bad case of gas, changes on the horizon for the command crew of the Enterprise, a strange b-plot that has Geordi trading with the Ferengi, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.

When an overworked Kira tries to impress Commander William Riker by showing him the USS Defiant, she instead sets into motion a plan that might result in a Federation-Cardassian war. Also, it's not Will Riker at all! It's Tom Riker! Remember him? DS9 continues to examine the meaning of identity by bringing Tom Riker into the fold and having him try to walk the line between the worldviews of TNG and DS9. Can a TNG character, even a troubled one like Tom Riker, manage to bring a little bit of TNG ethos into the cynical world of DS9? Darren and Clay stop by to discuss lame reveals, the blossoming Dukat and Sisko relationship, and the tragedy of Tom Riker! Are you looking for older episodes?

Spooky TNG.Mystery. Flickering lights. Strange sounds ... and clicking ... always the familiar, repeating clicking sounds ...Star Trek: The Next Generation has its fair share of episodes that cause fans to hide behind the couch. Darren, Daniel, and Phillip turn down the lights, get out the flashlights ... er, palm beacons, and talk about their favorite spooky TNG episodes. There is the surreal happenings in the fourth season outing "Night Terrors," where a sleepless crew fights their own minds playing tricks on them. The trio also discusses the alien abduction mystery "Schisms," with the "scary" talents of the Holodeck computer knowing the difference between a table and a chair. The sixth season gave fans the Inception-like episode "Frame of Mind," with Commander William Riker taking us on a psychotic thriller of a ride. Then there is the "100% scientifically-accurate" story "Genesis," which has us ready to hang from the bulkheads, as we look out for "de-evolved" Lieutenant Worf or Spider-Barclay.So feel the terror in this Halloween-inspired episode of Earl Grey, as they discuss the spooky episodes of Next Gen.HostsDaniel Proulx, Phillip Gilfus, & Darren MoserEditor / ProducerDarren MoserExecutive ProducersNorman C.
