Podcasts about deep space nine

Marc Scott Zicree has spent decades thinking about science fiction. Where it's been, where it's going, and how you actually get it made.For generations of fans, Marc is perhaps best known as the author of The Twilight Zone Companion, the landmark guide to Rod Serling's classic series that helped establish serious episode-by-episode scholarship about The Twilight Zone.But Marc is also a veteran television writer whose credits stretch across genre television, including Star Trek: The Next Generation, where he originated the story for “First Contact,” and Deep Space Nine, where he wrote the story for the acclaimed “Far Beyond the Stars.”In recent years, Marc has put that experience into building his own science-fiction universe with Space Command, creating and producing ambitious independent productions such as Space Command: Redemption and Space Command: Forgiveness outside the traditional studio system.And now he's taking that idea even further with a new Kickstarter campaign for The Showrunners Network - a creator-led effort designed to produce original science-fiction television and films independently of the major studios and networks.The campaign is built around six original stories, bringing experienced filmmakers and actors together with the goal of proving that ambitious genre entertainment can reach audiences through a very different production model.So we're going to talk about the lessons Marc learned from The Twilight Zone, his years writing television and Star Trek, the long road of making Space Command, and whether independent, fan-supported production might offer a real alternative for creating the next generation of science-fiction.

As Star Trek celebrates its 60th anniversary, The Trek Files welcomes a performer who was there before the beginning and then came back for the episode that introduced the series to television audiences. Stunt performer Sandy Gimpel first entered the Star Trek universe as one of the Talosians in "The Cage." When the series went into production, she returned to inhabit one of its most memorable creatures: the shape-shifting M-113 creature, better known to generations of fans as the Salt Vampire, in "The Man Trap." This week's document is an excerpt from George Clayton Johnson's June 16, 1966 final draft of "The Man Trap." Before the story even begins, a note to the director explains the creature's ability to appear differently to different people and suggests giving "Nancy" an identifiable gesture to help the audience follow her transformations. The script's cast list, meanwhile, simply identifies the creature as a silent role ("CREATURE (?)") giving little indication of the character that would become one of the most recognizable images from early Star Trek. Sandy joins Larry to remember what bringing that creature to life actually required in 1966: a plaster cast of her head, a custom-made mask and costume, severely restricted vision, and an ingenious low-tech technique for matching her position to actress Jeanne Bal so the two could transform into one another on camera. When the costume made it nearly impossible for Sandy to hit her mark opposite William Shatner, she asked Gene Roddenberry to let her rehearse without it, counted her steps like the dancer she was, and then repeated the movement once she had been sewn back inside the creature. The conversation also reaches beyond Star Trek, tracing Sandy's remarkable career from dancer and background performer to stuntwoman, stunt coordinator and director.

Duet (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9), S1 E19) was recommended by Oasus Plainview (He/Him), who said: You know the story of Major Kira, about how she grew up in the Bajoran Resistance. That episode identifies that it was her Resistance Cells that freed the prisoners of the Gallitep Mining Facility. So when she thought this guy was "The Butcher of Gallitep" who was responsible for so many Bajoran deaths, it was easy for her to hate him.But when she, with the help of Commander Sisko and Doctor Bashir, realizes who he actually is, her character undergoes such a fundamental change. She's been hating Cardassians all her life. She had never known that the Cardassian system had made victims of its own people. And this was her first exposure to one such person. This episode defines her character in ways that are unrecognizable by the end. From Cardassian Killer to Prominent figure in the Cardassian Liberation Front.Duet first aired on June 13, 1993, written by story by Lisa Rich & Jeanne Carrigan-Fauci, teleplay by Peter Allan Fields, and directed by James L. ConwayA visiting Cardassian, Marritza, may in fact be the notorious war criminal Gul Darhe'el, butcher of Gallitep labor camp, and Kira is determined to bring him down.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

La Replay ha terminado. Tras 7 años de duro trabajo (y alguno de descanso), Andreu y Jesús han puesto rumbo a la segunda estrella a la derecha, todo recto hacia el mañana. Y a saber si volverán… y cuándo lo harán… ¿Perdón? ¿Que ya han regresado? Pero… ¿cómo puede ser? ¿Y lo hacen junto a 13 co-presentadores más? ¡¡Pero qué maravilla es esta!! ¡Pues sí, replayers! Ante las promesas de unas vacaciones extendidas, los oyentes tomamos el control de la Replay, con el permiso de los capitanes originales. Una nueva generación de presentadores que no queríamos quedarnos huérfanos de podcast. Y lo hacemos revisando Deep Space Nine. En este primer episodio de la reformada DS9 Replay nos asentamos en la ‘Replay Nor', en el extremo del cuadrante, para revisitar el primer episodio de la serie, Emissary. Y lo hacemos junto a 15 capitanes a los que presentamos. Y con los que explicamos cómo será todo a partir de ahora. Repasamos los personajes de la serie y también analizamos este primer capítulo doble que nos adentra en el conflicto entre Bajor y Cardassia, con una Federación de aguantavelas. Nuevas naves, nuevos personajes, nuevos copresentadores y un agujero de gusano, el único estable de la galaxia, en esta nueva aventura de la Replay.

Egy bajori férfi, Tahna Los menedéket kap a Deep Space Nine-on, miután kardassziai üldözőkkel tűnik fel a térségben. Hamarosan felvetődik, hogy Tahna Los egy olyan ellenálló szervezetnek lehet a tagja, ami nem csak a megszállás alatt ölte a kardassziaiakat, de továbbra is terrorcselekményeket követnek el, emiatt pedig a bajori ideiglenes kormánnyal is konfliktusos helyzetben állnak. Ha ez nem lenne elég, az állomást a Duras-nővérek is meglátogatják, de az egyetlen kardassziai civil, Garak is szervezkedni kezd a háttérben.

You asked, Holly answers! Before Mission Log sets a course for Star Trek: Enterprise, we put our new co-host through a listener-supplied Trek interrogation. Holly talks about growing up with Star Trek, the characters and episodes closest to her heart, her work as an archivist, and even makes a case for some of Trek's less-loved corners. Plus, we look ahead to what Holly and John are most excited to explore when Mission Log tackles Enterprise. We'll be back with one more Q&A (this time, Anything But Star Trek) before Enterprise officially goes into the Mission Log in just a few weeks. Hosted by John Champion and Holly Amos Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time. Each week, Mission Log examines a single episode of Star Trek, diving into its ethical subtext, metaphors, and cultural significance. From the show's most iconic moments to its hidden gems, we analyze what makes Star Trek one of the greatest science fiction sagas of all time. In every episode of Mission Log we… Recap the story and analyze key moments. Discuss the morals, messages, and meanings of the dilemmas presented. Debate whether the episode holds up and if the themes are still relevant. Join the Conversation: For as little as $1 a month, you can gain access to our exclusive Discord Community!

We're in the homestretch of season one with "Et in Arcadia Ego, Pt. 1"! Come to the shoes-off homeworld of the synths, which it turns out is overseen by YET ANOTHER SOONG. Can't get away from these sociopaths no matter how hard we try. You also can't escape the fact that they love making transparently evil androids. Also this week: they kind of remembered the storms, brainitis, mid "Mass Effect". [EIAE1: 01:16]

Not everyone who appeared on Star Trek got a line, a screen credit, or even their name on the call sheet. Nearly sixty years later, that can turn a face clearly visible on screen into a genuine archival mystery. This week, The Trek Files welcomes veteran Deep Space Nine assistant director B.C. Cameron for a look at the working life of Hollywood's background performers. The starting point is a mystery explored in the latest Inside the Roddenberry Archive: identifying Al Jones, an uncredited performer prominently seen as one of the thralls in "The Gamesters of Triskelion." The episode's production call sheets tell us which principal actors were required, which sets were in use, and simply how many "atmosphere" players and stand-ins were needed but not necessarily who those background performers were. Separate Extra Talent Call Sheets from Independent Casting provide the missing names, allowing the surviving paperwork to be pieced together and Jones finally identified. B.C. brings useful perspective to that paperwork. Before spending all seven seasons working as an assistant director on Deep Space Nine, she began her own career as a background performer and stand-in, including an early job standing in for Jane Fonda on Comes a Horseman. B.C. and Larry explore the hierarchy between credited actors, featured performers, union and non-union extras; why call sheets generally listed background by type or number rather than name; and what life was like when tomorrow's paycheck could depend on a call from Central Casting. They also look at how Deep Space Nine developed its own reliable stable of recurring background players and how "Trials and Tribble-ations" required the production to cast performers who could actually match the extras seen in footage shot three decades earlier.

We're speeding towards the end of season one in "Broken Pieces" and it's time for dramatic backstory reveals! Aren't you excited?! Hello? Anyone...? Don't you suddenly want to care about Narissa a bit more now that we know her backstory? No, you still think she's awful? OK, well, isn't it neat finding out why Rios is so messed up? What's that? You find it convenient how much it ties into the overall season plot? Hmm. Yeah, look, I got nothing, just enjoy some holograms. Also this week: going to the office, everything's so tidy, and a massively wasted opportunity. [Broken Pieces: 01:16]

Last week, The Trek Files followed Gene Roddenberry to the 1966 World Science Fiction Convention in Cleveland, where he hoped to convince a skeptical audience of serious science-fiction fans that his new television series was worthy of their attention. This week, Glen E. Swanson, author of Inspired Enterprise, returns to examine what happened next. Our document is a December 1966 letter from science-fiction fan Mike Deckinger, who tells Desilu that he was among more than 1,000 people who watched Roddenberry preview Star Trek at Tricon and witnessed the audience give him a standing ovation. By then, Star Trek had been on the air for three months, and Deckinger was already urging the studio to protect a series he believed was offering television something different: mature stories, intelligent ideas, and contributions from established science-fiction writers. His brief letter gives us a valuable eyewitness account of a moment that Roddenberry himself would recount for years to come. Glen and Larry then trace the ripples from that weekend through Roddenberry's excited telegrams back to Hollywood, a special award from the convention that Gene kept on his office wall for decades, and the award's later appearance in a full-page trade advertisement promoting Star Trek for Emmy consideration. What began as an attempt to win over one of science fiction's toughest audiences became something more lasting: an early stamp of approval from the community Star Trek most wanted to take it seriously. Documents and additional resources Mike Deckinger letter to Desilu Studios, December 7, 1966 Star Trek "For Your Consideration" trade advertisement featuring the Tricon award and endorsements from science and science-fiction figures, 1967.

Andrew and I go through some of his greatest moments on DS9 and other big roles in his past. 

In a rare in-person episode, Ryan and Brady discuss this late-period DS9 outing with some really good performances that also manages to (somewhat) overcome a pretty universal Star Trek weakness: these shows are usually pretty bad at portraying gritty warfare.

In a crazy twist, DS9 reveals that Dax and Worf...aren't already messing around? And in another crazy twist - O'Brien and prego Kira are super hot for each other? But you know pervy Bashir is gonna - sit on the sidelines and comment? Welcome to Weird Space 9![Episode discussion begins around 1:09]

He also gives us his thoughts on the Star Trek franchise today, what’s next for Nacelle’s Star Trek toys, and much more.

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. This month marks the 60th anniversary of the pioneering sci-fi series, Star Trek. Expert in all things Trekky, Hoffman, when he's not schmoozing with Borschel-Dan, also hosts the STARLOG podcast and co-wrote The Star Trek Book of Friendship. So this week, the duo nerd out on all things Jewish behind the beloved franchise -- Spock's famous hand gesture is adapted from the Priestly Blessing, in one notable example. Eventually, we laser in on two episodes that illustrate the show's ethos. From the original Star Trek television series, Hoffman chose "The City on the Edge of Forever." We hear about how, when time-traveling to 1930s New York, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock faced a tough decision to stave off a potential global Nazi takeover. And in Deep Space Nine's "In the Hands of the Prophets," we see how the program deals with themes of religious extremism versus science. Let’s hear who gave this series an “oy,” “meh” or the prized “not bad” this week on The Reel Schmooze. The Reel Schmooze is produced by Ari Schlacht and can be found wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Deep Space Nine goes where no crossover had gone before: directly into “The Trouble with Tribbles.” We revisit “Trials and Tribble-ations,” featuring Kirk hero worship, Dax flirting across time, Bashir nearly becoming his own grandfather, and Worf absolutely refusing to explain Klingon foreheads. ▶Call us at: 323-389-7223 ▶Check out the crew's bonus shows at http://suboptimalpods.com. ▶Subscribe to the audio podcast wherever you get your favorite podcasts: https://omny.fm/shows/startertrek ▶See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. ▶A Fine Alpinist Ranch Production - http://www.finealpinistranch.com ✔ SOCIAL MEDIA ✔ ▶Twitter - https://x.com/yoisthisracist ▶Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/yoisthisracist/Suboptimal Premium Pods! : https://suboptimalpods.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
