We're back with Ronald D. Moore for part two of our dive into the wonderfully strange 1976 spoken-word album Inside Star Trek. This time, things get weird... in the best way. From Sarek (Mark Lenard) debating Vulcan mating rituals with Gene Roddenberry, to William Shatner performing a time-bending double act as both himself and Captain Kirk, the album takes some truly unexpected turns. Ron shares his favorite moments, what they say about Trek's early self-awareness, and how even the quirkiest bits helped shape his own fandom.

We're going out to the farthest reaches of space and into the deepest recesses of the mind for another look at Harry Potter and Star Trek. Potterversity regular Louise Freeman, a retired psychology professor and licensed behavioral analyst who previously joined us for two episodes on memory in Harry Potter, contacted us after our Star Trek episode to share another connection that occurred to her. She asks us to consider the famous Dumbledore quotation "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" (DH 723) in the context of implanted memories in Star Trek. We focus on Captain Picard's life in an extinct civilization on the Next Generation episode "The Inner Light" and Chief O'Brien's prison sentence on Deep Space Nine's "Hard Time." Both experiences take place only in the characters' minds within a few minutes yet feel like years to Picard and O'Brien. Technically, Picard never left the bridge of the Enterprise and O'Brien never served time in jail - it happened inside their heads but felt real to them and had lasting effects. We also discuss Captain Pike's time on Talos IV on The Original Series, where aliens can create convincing illusions either to trap people or to give them a better quality of life, which is particularly appealing for Pike after he becomes severely disabled. Nog's time in a Las Vegas nightclub in a holosuite following a traumatic injury on Deep Space Nine's "It's Only a Paper Moon" leads us to consider Potter's ghosts and another Dumbledore quote: "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live" (SS 214). These "unreal" experiences can have positive or negative consequences and demonstrate the power of escapism not only within these series but for audiences who feel immersed in them. Can you think of any other connections between Harry Potter and Star Trek? We'd love to hear from you!

Grab your tastiest sandwich and try not to spoil Twin Peaks as we return to Deep Space 9 with an all-DS9 extravaganza. We're talking about the opening three-parter of season two of Deep Space Nine which, unlike the Augment three-parter of Enterprise we covered (Episode Title- We Have Wrath of Khan at Home), we're discussing and placing on the Big List as one single entry and not three seperate ones. Watch as in ‘The Homecoming,' Kira goes off to rescue Bajor's greatest resistance fighter and gets no end of grief for it, then we see that Odo has an actual friend while Kira has one of those awkward naked dreams while uncovering Bajoran nationalists in ‘The Circle' and then the simmering Bajoran nonsence ends up in some Die Hard antics on the Station as our heroes must endure ‘The Siege' where this should hopefully wrap up. No Vedek Winn's were harmed during the making of these episodes for which we are deeply sorry.EPISODES DISCUSSED: ‘The Homecoming' (11:25), ‘The Circle' (35:11) and ‘The Siege' (56:11)This used to be a TNG episode, Bajoran nonsense, Twin Peaks references (some spoilers removed) the DS9 novel mentioned last episode, Odo pranking Quark, Miles prefers Sisko with no beard, the Return of Grappler Zorn and a digression into G.I.Joe, Frank Langella aka Skeletor, Sisko's better at the ‘We're with Starfleet, we don't lie' than Wesley, Odo has a friend-an actual friend (cue references to ‘The Inbetweeners', Vedek Winn would unapologetically tweet ‘Thoughts and Prayers', The Prime Directive is poorly written legislation, we do a Die-Hard, Bashir would have a pith helmet, Deep Space Nine still working out what it can do and it feels that the Bajor stuff falls by the wayside with much larger threats, Krim wants to be Sisko's big rival, this is all too neat in resolution.
Mark O'Connell returns to Casual Space to discuss one of the most extraordinary scientific collaborations in human history: the 1957 International Geophysical Year. With his signature wit and storytelling style, Mark takes us on the journey behind his NEW book, The Year Science Changed Everything, revealing how 6,000 scientists from 66 nations put aside political differences to study Earth's greatest mysteries—from the depths of the ocean to the edge of space. Beth and Mark explore the ripple effects of this global effort, including the formation of the Antarctic Treaty, the surprising roots of the Artemis Accords, and what IGY can teach us about tackling today's climate crisis. You'll hear how a Steely Dan song sparked Mark's decades-long curiosity, how scientific rivalries shaped history, and yes—even how a penguin nap could put you in violation of an international agreement. It's part history lesson, part love letter to science, and all kinds of fun. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at Mark's next creative project: a comedy script about astronomers Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe—think Amadeus meets Knives Out, with a golden nose and planetary motion thrown in. About Mark O'Connell Mark O'Connell is the author of The Year Science Changed Everything: 1957's International Geophysical Year and the Future of Our Planet, published by Prometheus Books. He also wrote The Close Encounters Man, a biography of astronomer and UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek. In addition to writing books, Mark is a seasoned screenwriter with credits on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, and he teaches screenwriting at DePaul University in Chicago.
From Star Trek to Shakespeare and Afrofuturism This week, the SyFy Sistas sit down with the incomparable Conrad Coates—the actor behind Admiral Terral on Star Trek: Discovery, and a true force in the worlds of theatre, teaching, and Afrofuturistic storytelling. In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore: His experience portraying Admiral Terral, and what it means to lead in the Star Trek universe His extensive work with Shakespeare, including performances at the Stratford Festival of Canada, where he portrayed roles such as Prince Escalus in Romeo and Juliet and various characters in As You Like It His role as an educator and mentor, shaping the next generation of performers How Afrofuturism informs his worldview and creative work—blending history, imagination, and liberation Conrad Coates is a storyteller, a leader, and a teacher who bridges worlds—from the 23rd century to the Elizabethan stage. This one's for the thinkers, the dreamers, and the future-builders.
The 2025 Sci-Fi FilmIn this episode, we're reviewing The Electric State, the latest sci-fi film to hit Netflix, with a star-studded cast and a futuristic storyline that mixes robots, mind uploads, and dystopian drama.

The Klingon Soap Opera returns and Michael takes a merry jaunt across space in "Through the Valley of Shadows". Pike is seeking the rather mystical-sounding Time Crystal from a Klingon monastery that looks like it was plucked straight from Earth, while Burnham has gone rogue yet again in search of information on Control. And along the way they both encounter familiar faces that aren't at all familiar and could literally have been ANYONE else. Also this week: Arthur Denting Pike, the nature of Leland, and "Enterprise" villains!

More technical issues have reared their heads, so while we beaver away trying to get more episodes recorded and edited, our friends over at The Replimat have very kindly offered to let us share with you an episode of their show, in which all three of us turned up to watch an episode of Deep Space Nine. Did chaos ensue? Well, yeah.Easter weekend was celebrating with a crossover of podcasts when the entire Measure of a Fan Podcast trio, PJ, Mat, and Eliot, joined Andy and Tim at the Replimat to react to, and discuss, the DS9 episode, CROSSOVER.
DOUBTING THOMAS RIKER. Kira and the crew of DS9 fall under the charms of a Riker, just not the one they think! Transporter Twin Thomas Riker has his eyes set on the USS Defiant and uses sexcraft to get what he wants. In order to stop him, Sisko must reenact Fail Safe -- or is it the TNG episode "The Wounded"? -- with Gul Dukat on Cardassia. Our theme this month is DS9's Season Three Leap Forward, looking at key episodes that showed Star Trek's middle child taking off and finding its own voice. Joining Bryan to kick things off is actor-producer-comedian Curtis Fortier, star and producer of web series 12 Sided Die, featuring Trek alumni such as Tim Russ and Andrew Robinson.The grades begin at (21:30).
Before he was a celebrated Star Trek writer and producer, Ronald D. Moore was a fan, just like so many of us, watching reruns, devouring The Making of Star Trek, and listening to Gene Roddenberry's 1976 spoken-word album Inside Star Trek. In part one of our two-part conversation, Ron reflects on how that Columbia Records release shaped his early views of the franchise. We explore the stories that resonated with him most, including Gene's candid recollections of his own childhood challenges, and how those moments helped inspire Ron's own journey into the Star Trek universe.

We get deep into the lore of Deep Space Nine by talking about a variety of episodes that are not DS9, but feel like it! It's the “Top 5 Episodes that Feel Like DS9” on this week's TrekRanks, continuing our ongoing series of popular “Feels Like” topics. There are probably more shades to DS9 than any other series of Star Trek, and our expert panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Carl Wonders, Peter Hong and Nate Perkins cover them all by picking episodes from across the Trek lexicon – everything from TNG to Strange New Worlds. Join us in the Gamma Quadrant for this fun episode of TrekRanks. Episode Rundown: Prime Directive: We skip our Diagnostic Cycle this week and jump straight into figuring out how our four-person panel narrowed down their lists and made their final choices. The Order of Things: All the picks are revealed with the TrekRanks' original “Five words and a hashtag” summary. Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list. Regeneration Cycle: The panel recaps their picks and we dissect some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion. Temporal Inversion: We flashback to a previous episode of TrekRanks and relay some of the feedback received from listeners. If you have your own picks you would like to relay to us, please hail us at 757-828-RANK (7265) and record your own personal TrekRanks log to let us know your Top 5 Episodes that Feel Like DS9. (Or you can record it yourself and just DM us @TrekRanks.com on Bluesky.)

The Nerds go over Season 5 and its highs and lows.
From its earliest concept stages, Star Trek: The Next Generation set out to break new ground, including the intentional addition of a disabled crewmember to the Enterprise-D. Inspired by and named for a real fan, George LaForge, this character was part of a push for greater representation and inclusivity on screen. This week, The Trek Files welcomes actor and artist Bruce Horak, known to fans as Hemmer from Strange New Worlds.

This week on The Omega Particle, we tackle Deep Space Nine's most aggressively fog-based episode: “The Storyteller.” What happens when Miles O'Brien is forced to LARP his way into being a spiritual icon? Absolute confusion, a lot of yelling, and possibly a new career in motivational speaking. Jon breaks it all down: The cloud monster with bad vibes and worse lighting, Bashir being clingier than a Ferengi credit collector, And a village that defeats evil by listening to bedtime stories with life-or-death stakes. Meanwhile, Jake and Nog try their hands at government diplomacy… and accidentally teach a Bajoran teen how to negotiate peace using casino games. Classic. There's trivia, deep dives, bad fog puns, and a full analysis of why Miles O'Brien should never be put in charge of anything spiritual, ever.

Soap Operas, Starships, and the Paris/Locarno Thing The Sistas got to sit down with the one and only Robert Duncan McNeill. Before he was flying through the Delta Quadrant as Lieutenant Tom Paris, Robbie was stirring up drama on the classic soap All My Children. We talk about his early days on daytime TV, how he found his true calling behind the camera, and his journey from actor to one of the most respected directors in the biz. And yes, we had to ask about Tom Paris vs. Nick Locarno—and his answer? Let's just say it gave us life! We also geek out over his podcast The Delta Flyers with Garrett Wang, and how rewatching Voyager has given him a whole new appreciation for the show and the fans.

A wacky camping adventure turns into a series defining nightmare as we review the close of DS9's second season with "The Jem'Hadar"! The goofy odd couple antics of Sisko and Quark is interrupted when the Actual Plot rolls in. The Gamma Quad Murder Hobos make quite a statement to draw the USS Odyssey, and then things definitely get much worse.
We're running out of season so it's time to have a bunch of reveals at once! Turns out we know who the Red Angel is, and now we've got to capture them in their titular episode! Also Michael gets an in-person retcon courtesy of Section 31! Also also we moan about "Picard" for a bit and get a little spoilery, so maybe watch out for that (37:28 - 40:00). Meanwhile this week: civilian clothes, the scale of destruction, and wrapping up melding!

It wasn't just the series finale of Star Trek: Enterprise. “These Are the Voyages” marked the end of an 18-year era of continuous Star Trek on television, dating back to The Next Generation in 1987. Emotions ran high on set, and not all of them were celebratory. Returning guest Mike DeMeritt, First Assistant Director on Enterprise, brings us a candid look behind the scenes of Trek's broadcast-era farewell. From dismantled sets to discarded call sheets (but not underwear), we explore the atmosphere and aftermath of one of Trek's most controversial finales.
