This episode of Deep Space 9 feels very biblical, so it's apropos that Ryan and Brady spend a large portion of it talking about Adventures in Odyssey. We also discuss the reasons people have faith and the recent schism in the Catholic Church, and there's a little bit of Star Trek talk smuggled in there too.
Odo is melting! He's mellllting! And the only ones who can save him are the other creepo changelings. Meanwhile, Garak buckles up to become possibly the greatest side character in all of Trek.[Episode discussion begins around 1:18]
Come with us as we wrap up season 3 of Deep Space 9! In this episode, we discuss Family Business, Shakaar, Facets, and The Adversary We have an email address now! tvshowinspace@gmail.com, send us your thoughts!
Another season, another vacation day for the captain as we review "Shattered Mirror". We dive deep on the concepts behind the Mirror Universe, particuarly Feral Historian's video on the concept, as the Sisko's fufill some long held desires. For Jake, it's to hang out with his Kinda Evil Mom, for Ben, it's once again to commit as much violence as possible. Boy sure hope this one has a happy ending!
Yeah, it's this one. Where the writers decided trying was too much effort and just make it so anyone who actually has a good counterpoint to Picard's bloated ego and self-righteousness is pointlessly racist or mean to androids so you have to side with him. Tho it's still more effort than they put into forensics, which they waved away with a magic murder-solving ray. Oh, and it's called "Maps and Legends". Also this week: the EXTRA secret police, genre drop, and awful editing. [Maps and Legends: 00:52]
Season 14, Episode 32 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine #4.15 "Bar Association" Olivia thinks Quark is Archie Bunker. Shaun compares him to Worf. Stephen just hates capitalism.

Following last week's look at the earliest concepts for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Larry Nemecek welcomes back author and historian Ben Robinson to examine Gene Roddenberry's handwritten response and the surprising conversation it sparked. Revisiting documents first explored in earlier seasons of The Trek Files, Larry and Ben trace the pivotal weeks of September 1986, when Gene challenged early ideas for a Starfleet Academy-centered series, questioned the show's heavy emphasis on Klingons, and argued that Star Trek's true strength had never been its characters alone but the stories it told. Some of Gene's observations proved remarkably prescient. Others reveal how his own thinking had evolved since the 1960s. Together, they paint a portrait of a franchise at a crossroads, just weeks before The Next Generation officially became the series we know today.

20. Oktober 1997: Teil 4 des großen Staffel-6-Handlungsbogens. Der neue Widerstand auf Terok Nor treibt einen Keil zwischen Jem'Hadar und Cardassianer und erringt so erste Erfolge, doch leider scheint ein Weg gefunden, das Wurmloch zu entminen. Damar trinkt, Quark trinkt mit und Odo ist auch schon ganz trunken vom Great Link. Auf Starbase 375 derweil muss Sisko lernen, die Defiant allmählich loszulassen. In Deutschland: Hinter der Linie, ausgestrahlt am 30. Mai 1998.

The most difficult time all of us do is wrestling with the monster we fear we could become as we review the excellent "Hard Time". When Miles gets forced to play the worst Choose Your Own Adventure of all time, he is stuck with the memory of 20 years of prison. With his MK Ultra abilities now a hindrance, the Chief gets help from all his friends to cope. In the end, is O'Brien unique or is he just the first 24th Century man to have to face the truth?

Oh God it's time for "Picard". In "Remembrance" an aging Jean-Luc is mostly sad and regretting everything, until a mysterious young woman shows up and explodes in a burst of regret so huge it snaps JLP out of his stupor! He's going to get to the bottom of this mystery, which somehow involves Romulans, the Borg, Data, and Bruce Maddox! No this isn't just too much at once, what do you mean? Also this week: hot housekeepers, backwards writing, and a very boring unique necklace! [Remembrance: 03:10]
In the second part of our DS9 Season 4 Review we look at the rest of the season from “Return To Grace'' all the way up to the finale ''Broken Link'' Please note we had minor sound technical difficulties whilst recording.
Before Captain Picard. Before the Enterprise-D. Before Gene Roddenberry stepped back into the captain's chair of his own creation... This week on The Trek Files, Larry Nemecek is joined by author and Star Trek historian Ben Robinson to examine one of the earliest surviving documents in the development of Star Trek: The Next Generation: a September 1986 memo from writer Greg Strangis to producer Rick Berman outlining the first concepts for a new Star Trek television series. The document reveals some fascinating ideas: a Starfleet Academy setting, a young captain, a Klingon observer serving aboard a Federation starship, familiar themes of friendship, diplomacy, and the Prime Directive, but viewed through the lens of Cold War politics and 1980s television. Together, Larry and Ben explore why some of these ideas disappeared, why others evolved into the Next Generation we know today, and how the process of reinventing Star Trek began long before Gene Roddenberry ultimately reshaped the concept himself.

If Wishes Were Horses (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9), S1 E16) was recommended by Rugger (They/Them), who said: This is the episode where the crew of DS9 figured out their chemistry. The plot doesn't matter and just strings together the hijinks. But this is the episode where the crew really enjoys each other—where they become a team.If Wishes Were Horses first aired on May 16, 1993, written by story by Nell McCue Crawford & William L. Crawford, teleplay by Nell McCue Crawford, William L. Crawford and Michael Piller, and directed by Robert LegatoDeep Space Nine is put in jeopardy when the crew's thoughts manifest themselves, and such figures as Rumpelstiltskin appear.The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook
13. Oktober 1997: Teil 3 des großen Staffel-6-Handlungsbogens. Auf der IKS Rotarran heuert ein bekanntes Gesicht an: Worfs Sohn Alexander, von dem er sich in den letzten Jahren tüchtig entfremdet hat. Will der Junge tatsächlich fürs Imperium in den Krieg ziehen oder versucht er verzweifelt, die Beziehung zu kitten? Auf der Station möchte Ziyal eine verrückte Familie mit ihrem Vatermonster Dukat und Kira erzwingen. In Deutschland: Söhne und Töchter, ausgestrahlt am 23. Mai 1998.
Star Trek has inspired generations of fans with its optimistic vision of the future, but where does the franchise stand today? In this episode of Eat Sleep Nerd, we tackle one of the biggest questions in modern sci-fi:Is Star Trek broken?From classic series like The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager to newer entries like Discovery, Picard, Strange New Worlds, and more, we explore what's working, what isn't, and whether the franchise has lost its way.More importantly, we each pitch our own ideas for how to fix Star Trek. Should the franchise return to its roots? Take more risks? Slow down? Focus on new crews and new stories? We debate it all.
There are a lot of contentious characters across Star Trek, our opinions of them shaped by who we were or how we felt when we first saw the show. Keiko O'Brien is definitely among them despite being played so brilliantly by actress Rosalind Chao, with some fans having a negative opinion of the character throughout her appearances in The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. We even have our own Keiko conspiracy theory running gag on Trekkin Up North (merch now available from https://www.adequatemerch.com) where we suggest that Keiko is behind many of the biggest events of Trek. But was she really that bad? Did the writers do her dirty? Was she really just there to make Miles O'Brien suffer? Well we're going to have a live discussion of Keiko O'Brien in an attempt to defend this character that has perhaps been treated unfairly by the Trek community.Check out our new merch store: https://www.adequatemerch.com Subscribe to our YouTube channel for new episodes every Friday: https://www.trekkinupnorth.com Join us on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/trekkinupnorth
Keiko's got a bun in the oven... but is it in someone else's bakery? And Quark faces mortality as Jeffrey Combs returns...but which Jeffrey Combs??[Episode discussion begins around 1:11]
Can Odo solve the locked holosuit murder mystery, or is he the culprit? What qualifications does one need to open a school on a space station? And did Dr. Bashir just accidentally create life?It's a lot for one episode and yet they managed to also cram in a whole bushel of misogyny alongside all that plot.Podcast socialshttps://bsky.app/profile/9to5scifipod.bsky.socialhttps://www.youtube.com/@9to5scifipodhttps://www.tumblr.com/9to5scifipodhttps://www.tumblr.com/9to5scifipodhttps://patreon.com/9to5scifipodOur vital info:Sara Ezzat (she /her)Creator: The Fat Culture Critichttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheCostumeCodexhttps://bsky.app/profile/saraezzat.bsky.socialRen (they/she/he)Creator: Ren the Barbarianhttps://www.youtube.com/c/RenTheBarbarian/featuredhttps://www.instagram.com/renthebarbarian/https://www.tumblr.com/victorian-sexstachehttps://bsky.app/profile/renthebarbarian.bsky.socialZylla Black (she/they)Creator: Zyllas Athenaeumhttps://www.youtube.com/@ZyllasAthenaeumhttps://www.patreon.com/zyllas_athenaeumhttps://ko-fi.com/zyllablackhttps://bsky.app/profile/zyllable.bsky.socialMusic by Samantha Duke (she /her) aka Skalfxkwww.youtube.com/@SKALFXK https://linktr.ee/skalfxk

Never before have your two hosts had such differing opinions as we put "Rules of Engagement" on the stand! Joseph thinks it's a good attempt at making Starfleet more of a millitary organization while furthering Worf's story, while Peter hated it because he thought the 'evil plan' was too weak. Is Peter just too talented at human manipulation to enjoy it for what it is, or is Joseph too eager to make excuses for it? Listen and decide!

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is regarded as one of the finest entries in the franchise, but even classics continue to evolve right up until release. This week on The Trek Files, Larry Nemecek welcomes authors and historians John and Maria Jose Tenuto to examine a fascinating production document: a March 23, 1982 retake script created just weeks before the film premiered. The pages reveal subtle but important changes to some of the movie's most memorable moments, from Kirk's first encounter with David Marcus to the famous "Remember" scene between Spock and McCoy. How much did Kirk originally know about his son? Who actually performed the mind-meld hand seen in the reshoot? And how did a handful of pickup shots help shape what would become one of Star Trek's greatest films? Along the way, John and Maria Jose pull back the curtain on Nicholas Meyer's production, Harve Bennett's stewardship of the franchise, and the extraordinary efficiency that turned a modestly-budgeted sequel into a science-fiction masterpiece.

We get another one of those great hidden DS9 bangers as we review "Accession". When Sisko finds a mild mannered guest star in a Faster Than Lumber, he seems to have a clean out on being Space Elijah. However, when the new guys turns out to be a bit too in to old timey Bajoran racisim he has to finally decide if actually belives in what is happening to him. Meanwhile, The Best Wife in Starfleet wanders back into the story all kocked up, and O'Brien copes with middle aged fatherhood in a way Peter could definitly identify with.
Come with us to the early 2020s, when WB was busy making legacy sequels and canning random completed movies for tax breaks and check out "The Matrix Resurrections". One of the Wachowskis comes back under duress since the trilogy was going to become a tetralogy (quadrilogy?) whether they liked it or not, so they figured they may as well try to say something with it. It's very meta, oddly introspective, and sometimes a little sad while also still being over the top and loud. It's definitely interesting, if nothing else. Also this week: some great Keanu work, a possible Wachowski Rosetta stone, and the collapse of the industry.

What if Star Trek's most iconic technology was really just a clever budget solution? This week on The Trek Files, Larry Nemecek welcomes back actor, writer, and Does It Fly? co-host Tamara Krinsky to explore one of the foundational documents of Star Trek: an excerpt from Gene Roddenberry's August 1966 Writer-Director Information guide. Among its many insights is an early explanation of the transporter, the device that would become one of the franchise's most recognizable inventions. What began as a practical solution to avoid expensive weekly landing sequences quickly evolved into a storytelling engine unlike anything else in science fiction. Together, Larry and Tamara examine how the transporter shaped Star Trek's pacing and opened the door to some of the franchise's most memorable stories. Drawing on Tamara's work analyzing science fiction concepts on Does It Fly?, the conversation ventures into questions of physics and philosophy. Is transporting matter actually possible? What happens to consciousness during transport? And how did a production shortcut become one of the most enduring ideas in popular culture? From Gene Roddenberry's original vision to modern discussions of science and storytelling, this episode beams directly into what makes Star Trek work.

It's the original end of "The Matrix" trilogy as we take a look at the very noisy "The Matrix Revolutions"! We've got a big CG battle loaded with characters we don't care about, we've got another visit with the Merovingian, and we've got a new Oracle (did you notice?!). Sense has largely left the building in this messy, loud, and frankly perplexing finale. Also this week: who's who in Zion, unsubtle imagery, and the answer is always hubris.

Our Starfleet's Finest? Spotlight Series brings us to DS9 with the amazing 2 part episode "The Maquis Pt. 1 & 2"! In this episode, we highlight Lt Commander Cal Hudson, a longtime close friend of Commander Sisko. Cal might be the most unique character in our Spotlight Series as he's not a Captain or Admiral. However, as mentioned in Part 1, he and Sisko are the two ranking officers along the Cardassian border and his role in the Federation's struggle with the Maquis is critical. But he doesn't agree with what the Federation has done in abandoning their citizens to keep the treaty...a price to high for the Maquis and for Cal.

Before Star Trek or The Lieutenant Gene Roddenberry explored his role as a television creator by developing a series for one of Hollywood's biggest stars: Joan Crawford. This week, Larry welcomes Roddenberry Podcasts Technical Director and Gene-ology co-host Earl Green to examine a 1961 memo in which Gene proposes major revisions to The Joan Crawford Show, a legal drama pilot titled A Man's World. The project never made it to series, but the document reveals a writer already demonstrating the storytelling instincts, character focus, and production savvy that would later define his career. Along the way, Earl and Larry explore Crawford's complicated transition from film to television, the realities of early TV development, Gene's final months at Screen Gems, and the behind-the-scenes negotiations that surrounded the project. They also discuss why the pilot script itself—examined in depth on Gene-ology—may rank among Gene Roddenberry's strongest pre-Star Trek works. What begins as a rewrite memo becomes a look into Hollywood in transition and Gene Roddenberry honing his craft years before the Enterprise ever left spacedock.
