“Rules of Acquisition” 30th-anniversary reflections Word is there's profit o' plenty in the Gamma Quadrant, and the Grand Nagus wants a piece of it. And who better to send as chief negotiator than Quark? But never forget the 48th Rule of Acquisition: “The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.” Quark's new waiter, Pel, thinks Zek is setting him up to take the blame if a deal for the totally reasonable ask of 100,000 vats of tulaberry wine falls through. Thankfully for Quark, he won't be alone at the table, because Pel turns out to be more than a waiter. He's a skilled entrepreneur. And a she. Despite their combined negotiating prowess, Quark and Pel return without the wine. But they aren't entirely empty-handed. They have the memory of an awkward kiss and information about some group called The Dominion. In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “Rules of Acquisition,”what the story says about identity, how it sets up The Dominion, and how DS9 makes the Ferengi matter.

This week on Star Trek: The Western, we cover Q-Less, Dax, The Passenger, and Move Along Home

This week we're diving into Starfleet's creepiest corners! Where tribbles multiply faster than your ex's bad decisions, and the Gorn make every away mission feel like Predator with phasers. From salt vampires to evil exxon oil spills, we're counting down the monsters that made us scream, laugh, and question the Federation's HR policies. So grab your tricorder, dim the lights, and prepare for a transporter malfunction straight into the Monster Mash of the Final Frontier. It's spooky, it's slimy, it's Star Trek at its weirdest...and we love it.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Author, Author, The Doctor takes his first stab at fiction, but his holonovel hits a little too close to home. Captain Jenkins is a sadist, Tulak relishes punishment, and Lt. Marseilles just wants to get in your pants. The crew is shocked. The Doctor calls it “art,” and a Federation publisher calls it “contractually locked.” As Voyager debates creative expression vs. defamation, a deeper issue emerges: does the author have rights? “Photons Be Free”—but only if Starfleet says so, in Author, Author on this week's Mission Log. Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time.

Season 4 of "Discovery" starts with a BANG! Haha, no but seriously a planet gets blown up in "Kobayashi Maru". Meanwhile, Tilly and Adira have to save a space station that's gotten all squiddled and is tumbling out of control during a mission overseen by the Federation's new apparently-micromanager President. But is there something else going on? Also this week: uniform upgrades, tonal shifts, and the monsters of science fiction! [Kobayashi Maru: 02:43; the Monster Mash: BLOG: 59:52] [boys becoming men, men becoming wolves: https://sshbpodcast.tumblr.com/post/797497438274551808/the-monster-at-the-end-of-this-blogpost ]

The Ferengi take center stage in this hilarious yet heartfelt Nerd Trek Podcast review of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine “The Magnificent Ferengi.” Quark assembles an unlikely rescue team to save his mother from the Dominion, leading to one of DS9's most entertaining adventures. We discuss Ferengi culture, comedy in Trek, and why this episode has become a fan favorite.

What makes the fear of replacement so primal? From the original 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers to interpretations in the 70s, 90s, and 2000s, the Body Snatchers story has been remade across four major films, each reflecting the anxieties of its era. We examine the story's evolution from small-town paranoia to urban mistrust, military conformity, and global transformation—and why this tale of pod people keeps resonating.Questions We Discuss:Why does the fear of being replaced (or having loved ones replaced) persist across cultures and generations?How did each decade's version reflect its political moment—from 1950s McCarthyism to 1970s post-Watergate cynicism to fears of the military in this century?Can Body Snatchers be read as both anti-communist AND anti-McCarthyist commentary?What makes conformity so terrifying when the hive mind promises peace and emotional stability?How do ancient changeling myths connect to modern AI replacement anxieties?Is the Body Snatchers archetype shifting from alien invasion to mechanical replacement?What happens when institutions meant to protect us become the source of the threat?Films covered: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956, 1978), Body Snatchers (1993), The Invasion (2007)Related media discussed: The Faculty, Star Trek's Borg, Deep Space Nine changelings, The Puppet Masters, Invaders from Mars **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

“Do not pass Go! Do not collect $200!” But do make sure you listen to this episode of TrekRanks covering the “Top 5 Games and Gaming References” throughout the history of Star Trek! From Kal-toh to Kadis-kot to Kotra (try to keep those three straight!), our Trek panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Jenn Tifft, Caleb Dorsch and Patrick Carlin have a great time spinning the wheel and rolling dice and shuffling the cards on all the fun gaming options featured in Trek. This one is a stone cold TrekRanks classic. One of our favorites! Game on! Episode Rundown: Diagnostic Cycle: A quick review of exactly why we went with the cumbersome “games and gaming references” title, and how this episode is actually a sequel to Episode 104 of Trek Ranks: the Top 5 Sports References. Prime Directive: We get into each player's strategy for game play and how they narrowed down their picks! The Order of Things: All the picks are revealed with the TrekRanks' original “Five word summary and a hashtag,” along with one episode that helps frame their choice. Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list.

Long before the internet brought fans together, the Star Trek community thrived through newsletters, potlucks, and passionate word of mouth. This week, The Trek Files celebrates the 50th anniversary of the United Federation of Phoenix (UFP), the longest-running independent Star Trek fan club, with guest Dr. David Williams, UFP member and Arizona State University planetary scientist. Using a 1975 Arizona Republic article as our time capsule, we look back at how a group of Arizona fans kept the Trek spirit alive in the years between the show's cancellation and its cinematic rebirth. From screening parties and fan films to homemade uniforms and sci-fi socials, UFP didn't just preserve the legacy, it expanded it. Dave and Larry explore the roots of early fandom, the transition from stamps to screens, and why clubs like UFP still thrive after half a century of community-building.

Sisko is out of commission, Kira finally learns how to treat him like a regular friend and not with all the reverence due the Emissary (had she been doing that?), Worf plays out the ol' "person suddenly in command who needs to learn how to be command" trope, and Bashir and Dax get cracking on retconning Bashir. But don't forget about Odo! Actually, you probably can except for one scene.[Episode discussion begins around 1:23 - for a whopping 2:45 for a regular episode! Mostly nonsense.]

Out of the Paramount+ mines, Ryan and Brady tackle a wide-ranging episode that includes talk of the Decipher Star Trek CCG, what fake name you would scramble for in a pinch, how this episode reads like a critique of revisionist plantation tourism, and much more! It's one of our favorites as of late.

That whole bit about Ben Sisko accidentaly becoming Space Jesus comes back around as we get a flavor of the divine in "Destiny". They manage to thread the needle as both Joseph AND Peter walk away happy with a spiritual focused episode while Siko and Kira navigate prophecy. Meanwhile. O'Brian once again lines up a 90's hottie without even trying. 

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Q2, Q drops by Voyager for a surprise visit, and he brings Q with him. No, not himself… the other Q. His son. This junior Q is every bit as powerful, unpredictable, and exasperating as his old man, with none of the charm (yet). When the Continuum threatens to de-Q him permanently, it's up to Aunt Kathy to teach Q some responsibility before he's stuck living as an amoeba or worse, a teenager. Mission Log wrangles Q, Q, and more Q in Q2. Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao MISSION LOG SURVEY: Take the survey NOW and you could win rare, original TOS film cells!

Just because #StarTrek is off our screens for a while doesn't mean the story is over - Kirsten Beyer drops by to talk about the #StarTrekKhan audio series and hear some questions from Mission Log Live's callers.

In 1973, Star Trek: The Animated Series debuted as a Saturday morning cartoon, but early reviewers quickly realized it was something far more ambitious. A contemporary article from the Pantagraph (Bloomington-Normal, IL) praised the show's complex themes and emotional storytelling, declaring it a breakthrough in children's animation that adults could take just as seriously. This week, The Trek Files welcomes back Adam Kotsko, author of Late Star Trek, to explore the deeper legacy of TAS from its psychological depth and allegorical storytelling to its role as the franchise's first major reinvention. With Gene Roddenberry at the helm and the original cast returning, The Animated Series wasn't just a placeholder between live-action runs; it was a bold step into new narrative territory. Was it canon? Does it matter? Adam and Larry unpack how TAS laid the groundwork for later series, balanced nostalgia with innovation, and helped define Star Trek's long-standing ability to evolve with its audience.

Join Keith and Marshal as they trek into the Gamma Quadrant with Commander Benjamin Sisko, Chief Miles O'Brian, Major Kira Nerys, and the rest of the crew and denizens of the space station Deep Space Nine.  Dealing with the politics of Bajor and the fallout from the Cardassian occupation out on the edge of known space can be challenging.To download, right-click here and then click SaveJoin the Journey Into Patreon to get extra episodes and personal addresses, plus other extras and rewards.Timecode......Episode Title00:02:37........"Vortex"00:08:32........"Battle Lines"00:15:25........"The Storyteller"00:21:27........"Progress"00:26:29........"If Wishes Were Horses"00:32:03........"The Forsaken"00:38:31........"Dramatis Personae"00:43:16........"Duet"00:51:01........"In the Hands of the Prophets"

 After a short break, Trekcast is back with a brand-new episode! This week, we're diving into Star Trek: Khan, the official audio drama from Paramount that explores the untold backstory of Khan Noonien Singh—complete with surprise guest stars from across the Star Trek universe. But that's not all: Could a new Star Trek series starring Captain Archer be on the horizon? Did you know a Ghostbuster almost joined Deep Space Nine? And is Star Trek about to get a little more magical? We've gathered all the latest Star Trek news, rumors, and stories—and we're breaking it all down on this week's Trekcast!News:https://trekmovie.com/2025/10/01/exclusive-scott-bakula-led-star-trek-united-pitch-explores-archers-family-romulan-war-aftermath/https://screenrant.com/star-trek-deep-space-nine-ernie-hudson-ghostbusters-audition/https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/star-trekStar Trek: Khan is an American audio drama series directed by Fred Greenhalgh and written by Kirsten Beyer and David Mack, based on a story by Nicholas Meyer. It is part of executive producer Alex Kurtzman's expanded Star Trek Universe. The series explores Khan Noonien Singh during the nearly 20 years that he is stranded on the planet Ceti Alpha V between the events of the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Space Seed" (1967) and Meyer's film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982). Naveen Andrews stars as Khan, with Wrenn Schmidt, Sonya Cassidy, George Takei, and Tim Russ also starring. Work on the project, which originated as a three-episode television miniseries written by Meyer, was first revealed in June 2017. That version did not move forward due to the cost of producing such a short series. Kurtzman revealed plans to expand the Star Trek Universe into scripted podcasts in May 2022, and Meyer announced Star Trek: Khan – Ceti Alpha V that September. In November 2023, the series was being expanded from Meyer's three-episode plan. Voice recording was completed by the end of February 2025, when the main cast and crew were announced along with the shortened title Star Trek: Khan. Additional casting and the series' framing story were revealed in July, with Takei and Russ announced to be reprising their roles from previous Star Trek media. Star Trek: Khan premiered on all major podcast streaming platforms on September 8, 2025. The nine-episode series will be released weekly until November 3.Trekcast: The Galaxy's Most Unpredictable Star Trek Podcast!Welcome to Trekcast, the galaxy's most unpredictable Star Trek podcast!

This week on Star Trek: The Western, we cover Past Prologue, A Man Alone, Babel, and Captive Pursuit

It turns our that this show is so good, that even a money saver dialogue heavy epiosde in the Hell Caves is still going to be a banger as we review "Heart of Stone". We find Odo in a moment of crisis when he, Kira, and Special Guest Star Runabout wind up getting vicitimized by bad special effects. Meanwhile the B plot actually works this time as Nog figures out the Food and Bev industry might not be for him. 

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Human Error, Seven of Nine is trying something new: a little music, a little cooking, and a little romantic roleplay—typical holodeck experiments in humanity. But when feelings get real and a Borg failsafe kicks in, the cost of vulnerability may be more than just emotional. Oh, and yes, Voyager is also facing a dangerous space-time shockwave, but honestly? We're just here for the “Human Error,” this week on Mission Log. Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao MISSION LOG SURVEY: Take the survey NOW and you could win rare, original TOS film cells!

Capping off our discussion of the third season of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds is a discussion with Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry on his own reactions to the show's third year, and its future - and, of course, questions from Mission Log Live's callers!

The introduction of Hugh in Star Trek: The Next Generation's “I, Borg” added emotional depth to the franchise's most terrifying villains and reshaped Trek's approach to individuality and redemption. This week on The Trek Files, returning guest Adam Kotsko joins us to examine the legacy of Hugh's first appearance, using a March 6, 1992 call sheet as our launch point. From behind-the-scenes insights on day one of filming to Picard's rare role as the obstacle to resolution, we dive deep into the character's mythological weight and long-lasting fan impact. Adam also explores how Star Trek's modern “franchise era” grapples with this legacy—sometimes successfully, sometimes not—especially as lore becomes both a storytelling tool and a trap in the prestige TV arms race.

Once in a great while you get two great stories, even if they really shouldn't have happened at the same time as we review "Life Support." So yeah, it might be a tonal mismatch to have the tragic, deep, deadly medical drama featuring Space Pope Karen paired with zany Nog and Jake dating subplots featuring Bayside graduates. But hey, both are good!
