In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider Where No Man Has Gone Before, which aired on September 22, 1966, Star Date 1312.4. The first Star Trek episode was made (not counting the pilot episode, The Cage), although not the first aired. It differs from subsequent episodes in that there is no "Space, the final frontier" voice-over during the theme song at the beginning. Near the galaxy's edge, the Enterprise discovers a 200-year-old ship recorder from the SS Valiant. Shortly after that, the Enterprise passes through an unknown phenomenon that causes major damage and knocks out navigators Gary Mitchell and Dr. Elizabeth Dehner (both of whom have high ESP ratings). When Gary recovers, he begins to acquire telepathic and telekinetic powers. Kirk, alarmed at the prospect of having his ship taken over by an increasingly powerful and tyrannical Mitchell, is convinced by Spock to maroon Mitchell at the lithium cracking plant of Delta Vega. Dr. Piper has no explanation for what is happening. Gary kills Lee Kelso and escapes from his imprisonment. Kirk follows him and can destroy him with the help of Dr. Dehner, who is also beginning to acquire the power, but in the process, kills herself. Compliance Takeaways: Your root cause analysis is different than an investigation. Compliance training should provide answers to employees when times of high stress arise. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Internal controls are the key. Resources Excruciatingly Detailed Plot Summary by Eric W.

As premium sellers, we are in a unique position whenever we need a stock to rally back on an underwater naked position. Specifically, being long delta and short vega could benefit us in two ways if the stock were to rally. Not only would a rally in the stock help the position due to its positive delta, but that same rally would likely be accompanied by a drop in volatility. This means that our position's short vega could benefit from the volatility contraction. With our portfolio, we see both factors contributing to our PINS position.

In this episode, I am joined by Astrophysicist and Healthcare Futurist Ben Locwin. In this podcast, we consider the TOS episode Where No Man Has Gone Before as a starting point for the consideration of the science around the phaser. The Federation starship Enterprise is on an exploratory mission to leave the galaxy. At the edge of the galaxy, the ship it encounters a strange barrier which damages the ship's systems and warp drive, forcing a retreat. At the same time, nine crew members are killed and both helmsman Gary Mitchell and ship's psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Dehner are knocked unconscious by the barrier's effect. When he awakens, Mitchell's eyes glow silver, and he begins to display remarkable psychic powers. Alarmed that Mitchell may take over the Enterprise, Kirk decides to maroon him at an unmanned lithium-cracking facility on the remote planet of Delta Vega. Once there, the landing party tries to confine Mitchell, but his powers have become too great. Kirk follows with a phaser rifle, the only time in the Original Series it was seen. Kirk uses the phaser rifle to create a rockslide, killing Mitchell. Highlights Include: Why aren't phasers being used today? Why is air the biggest problem in creating a phaser? How can you aim and shoot at a target using a phaser? How do you deal with the energy loss?

This week on Episode 471 of Priority One --- We ‘Trek Out' San Diego's Virtual Comic Con including Discovery's hope, Lower Decks clips, Progress on Strange New Worlds, and P-Stew! In Star Trek gaming, we share with you which game developers are taking actions for a more equitable future. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we'll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ:  What was your favorite news to come out of the SDCC@Home? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Star TrekUniverse Panel SDCC 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qwmWA59QcQ What a strange year 2020 has been. The US and Iran almost started World War III, there's a global pandemic, giant murderous hornets - aptly named Murder Hornets - were big news until they weren't. Civil unrest, an economic rollercoaster, an oily island that drives men mad, social distancing. Wild stuff. So in this weird-and-wild world of social-distancing and goatees-for-all, what of convention season? You may be surprised to learn conventions have, in fact, continued - Sort of.  While some promoters have postponed their events until smack-dab-in-the-middle of the predicted second-wave of Covid-19 *Cough*Creation*Cough* Others have decided to take their stage digital - including arguably the biggest Geek-Con in all the world - San Diego Comic Con. This week, the mega-event streamed its much anticipated panels via the internet, teasing fans everywhere with what is to come in their favorite fictional universe - and ParamountCBS' Star Trek set the pace. On Thursday July 23rd, the showrunners and stars of Star Trek's newest offerings pulled up their favorite chair and shared thoughts about what has happened - and what is to come - in their respective Star Trek offerings. We are going to cover SDCC20 a little different than we have in previous years because - well - it was a little different. Star Trek: Discovery It seems only apt that we cover Star Trek's first “NuTrek” offering - Star Trek: Discovery - at the start. Before the Q&A, Discovery's showrunner Michelle Paradise led Executive Producer/Director Olatunde Osunsanmi  and the cast of Discovery season two -including most of the bridge crew as well as Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn - in a table read of the Discovery Season 2 Finale, “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2”. The read was edited, so it played very tightly, and was interspersed with early special effects layouts and storyboards of some of the action sequences. It was a fun introduction, to be sure, and it was great to see the acting chops of the cast sans costumes, sets, and makeup. But what about Trek nuggets? Oh - there were trek nuggets. While the Q&A was interesting - revealing a POSSIBLE return of more Kelpians, and verification of a stronger romance between Stametts and Culber - possibly the biggest Discovery Season 3 news dropped a few days after the panel. On July 27th, the team released a short video of Burnham holding a tattered Federation flag, which ended with a panel that read “Star Trek: Discovery. New Season October 15”. We have a release date! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYtzFoJqL2s Star Trek: Picard Ending the Star Trek Universe Panel, but coming in number two here on Priority One, was the cast of Star Trek: Picard. Frankly, very little was said about the upcoming season, and it was - in large part - a rehash of things we've already covered. The cast was in awe of Sir Patrick, it was nice for the Next Generation alumni to reunite, both Sir Patrick and Brent Spiner were reluctant to return to the roles...et cetera, et cetera.  As always though, it's fun to watch the banter and admiration of the cast, and Sir Patrick even earned a couple of new nicknames - SPS and P-Stew. Despite the lack of new information coming from the virtual panel, there was some fun news that came a few days BEFORE the convention - Star Trek: Picard is getting a physical medium release!  Announced on July 21st, Picard's premiere season will be available on DVD, BluRay, and Limited Edition Steelbook on October 6. Included in the release will be the first ten episodes of the season, documentaries, commentary, deleted scenes, and the Short Trek “Children of Mars”. At the time of this writing, the DVD can be preordered for 37.34 US dollars and the BluRay for 47.99 US dollars at Amazon.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azicjg_WlPM Star Trek: Strange New Worlds As we mentioned in our first story, the upcoming “Strange New Worlds” leads joined the Discovery cast for a table read and Q&A. As expected, they discussed how Discovery's second season adventure would affect their characters in the upcoming series - but we'll get back to that.  Leading into the table read, Star Trek's Meta Captains - Alex Kurtzman and Heather Kadin - delivered a bit of excitement. In introducing Strange New Worlds, Kurtzman revealed that the team was working on the series as far back as last SDCC. Kurtzman then gave some progress on where “Strange New Worlds” was, production wise. Meanwhile, back at the panel the trio of Mount, Peck, and Romijn discussed Discovery's effect on their upcoming roles. Star Trek: Animated Finally, the panel covered Star Trek animation! The Star Trek: Lower Decks panel was moderated by series creator and showrunner Mike McMahon, and started with a clip. It begins, much like the teaser, with Boimler's “Captains log” being interrupted by the loud and spunky Ensign Mariner - who turns out to be celebrating shore leave with a bit of libation. The comedy is cartoony, but with a Star Trek backdrop! After the clip, we are introduced to the voice talent, each describing their characters, what they love about the show, and a BLEEP ridden segment that tones out the spoilers they're spilling. You can Trek out 16 new images of the series at Treknews.net! But we said the panel covered Star Trek ANIMATION, not Star Trek LOWER DECKS. So what does that mean? Well, we finally know a bit about the upcoming Nickelodeon series! After Kurtzman discussed Strange New Worlds, Kadin talked a bit about the new animated project “Prodigy”. In an announcement on Star Trek.com ”Nickelodeon and CBS Television Studios today officially revealed the title and logo for its all-new animated series Star Trek: Prodigy, which follows a group of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation.”. The show is vaguely expected in 2021. Star Trek Supports NAACP Legal Defense Fund The leadership, cast, and crew of Star Trek spent a good deal of time talking about Star Trek's importance, and what makes it relevant today - Inclusion, Respect, Equality. Prior to the Discovery panel Sonequa Martin-Green announced an important message regarding the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. If you wish to donate to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, please follow the link. Thank you This Week in Trek History by Thomas Reynolds To the outside world it was July 28th, 1965, but on a soundstage in Culver City, it was stardate 1313.8. “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” the original Star Trek's second pilot episode, finished principal filming as Captain James T. Kirk buried a new god under a phaser-triggered rockslide on the surface of Delta Vega. Presumably he had time to put a clean, unripped shirt on before producer Lucille Ball's wrap party. The people of Earth would first see Kirk's friendship with Gary Mitchell come to its tragic end over a year later, when “Where No Man Has Gone Before” hit terrestrial airwaves the following September. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIFWiSw4M0I Star Trek Gaming News by Shane Hoover and Thomas Reynolds Star Trek Timelines Event: “No Trouble At All” Some secrets should never be known. Some life should never be sought out. And some organisms shouldn't be spliced with human DNA and turned into the most horrifying breakfast cereal of all time, LIEUTENANT. Section 31, the Borg, and the Klingon Empire are punting all ideas of ethical scientific research out the airlock in Star Trek Timelines' impending “No Trouble At All” Faction Event. Kicking off on July 30th and running through August 3rd, the event will feature the new 5-star Technician Fisher from the original NCC-1701 as its ranked reward. Event Crew includes last week's 5-star faction reward Dr. Edward La Forge, the new 5-star Mother Horta, and the scourge of the Cabot himself: the 4-star Edward “Idiot” Larkin. It is the official position of Priority One Productions that Lieutenant Larkin and the Mother Horta must be kept as far away from each other as our understanding of spacetime allows.  https://twitter.com/STTimelines/status/1287796907096539141 George Takei: Like A (Crime) Boss The command track in Starfleet can take you very interesting places. You might become best friends with a neural parasite, a smear on the side of a Borg cube, or patriarch of the Arakawa yakuza clan. Probably not all at once, though. On July 22nd, the Reno Gazette Journal published an interview with the 83-year-old actor, activist and Star Trek icon George Takei about his voice acting role as criminal patriarch Masumi Arakawa in the upcoming Yakuza: Like a Dragon video game. Takei explains that his motivation for the role comes from his fascination with modern yakuza culture and its samurai roots, saying “Here is this man who, at his core, is a decent human being who lives within that culture and expects that same kind of fidelity. Some aspects demand inhumane fidelity to that code and it's a shared understanding”. Takei also talks about his early life as a Japanese-American in the midst of World War II, and how his admiration for the benshi narrators of silent film lead to his careers in voice acting, theater, and far beyond the stars. Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be available for Xbox One, PS4, and Windows PCs this November. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhqbNaxO82g 5D Chess! Multiverse Time Travel! Are you feeling let down by the inferior minds of Spock, Data, Reginald Barclay, and their intellect limiting Three-dimensional chess? Bored with the Aldabren Exchange and the Kriskov Gambit? Well, then maybe the new 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel would be more challenging! The new game, released on Steam by developer Thunkspace, might not be a part of Star Trek, but somehow we think Trek's great minds would approve. The rules for this brain-breaking chess variation begin from the standard chess rules and standard chess board. Then you introduce the ability to time travel your pieces, creating a multiverse timeline of alternate boards, and things get crazy. We're talking enough temporal mechanics here to drive Miles O'Brien to distraction. They even introduce a couple of new pieces entirely dedicated to time-travel movement, the Unicorn and the Dragon.  Read some of the Steam reviews of the game, and it feels like Q himself might find this game worthy. For example, one top review reads “I was playing a game against a human opponent online, and at one point they sent a queen back in time from one of the ten timelines currently in play to put five of my past kings into check at once. I sent one of my own pieces even further back to stall, and they proceeded to send one of their queens back to the start of the game to try and beat me before I even got to that point.” Captain, if you're curious, Trek it out on Steam now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBzX1ybigmw

Alternatív univerzumot hoz létre a Spock nagykövetet üldöző Nero, akinek a jövőből érkező romulán bányászhajóját maga George Kirk próbálja feltartóztatni a USS Kelvin kapitányi székében: mivel a csillaghajó az ütközet során megsemmisül, James Kirk az édesapja nélkül nő fel, így példás iskolai előmenetel helyett húzós balhékban és kocsmai verekedésekben éli mindennapjait. Egy napon azonban Pike kapitány figyel fel az éppen bunyózó tehetségre, aki hatalmas lehetőséget lát a fiú csillagflottás iskoláztatásában. Aktuális adásunkban a Star Trek (2009) című mozifilmről beszélgetünk. Rövid hírszekció: • 2020 januárjában végre megtekinthetjük a Picard első évadát, az év hátralévő részében pedig a Discovery harmadik évada, és a Lower Decks első évada is megérkezik. Ezek mellett 25 éves lesz a Voyager, és talán a mozis univerzum is újra pályára állhat. • Mínusz 43 éves a kapcsolatfelvétel napja, amit áprilisban ismét a Vault 51 Gamer Barban ünneplünk. • Továbbra is a Lost in Space második szezonját nézzük: javuló tendencia a történetmesélésben és a karakterfejlődésben, valamint vélemények a magyar szinkronról. A kibeszélő tartalmából: • A pontosság kedvéért Roberto Orci és Alex Kurtzman sokszor használták a Memory Alphát a film írása közben, pár dolgot viszont szándékosan változtattak meg: a Delta Vega helyét például áthelyezték az eredeti sorozat ’Where No Man Has Gone Before’ epizódjához képest. Orci szerint egy ismerős helyszín elhangzása fontosabb lesz a rajongók számára, mint a pontos elhelyezkedés. • Váratlan vendégszereplők a filmben: Paul McGillion a Csillagkapu: Atlantisz Beckett dokija San Franciscoban közli Kirk számára, hogy a Kobayashi Maru incidens miatt felfüggesztették (bár eredetileg a színész Scotty szerepére pályázott), Wil Wheaton pedig egy romulánnak adja a hangját. • A film előzményeként az akkor 10 éves IDW képregénykiadó - amely már akkoriban is birtokolta a Star Trek licenszet - több, a mozifilmhez kapcsolódó kiadványt is megjelentetett, majd a sort további, a Kelvin-univerzumhoz kapcsolódó képregénnyel folytatta: ízelítő a hatalmasra hízott képregényvilágból, valamint kapcsolatok a Kelvin-univerzum és a közelgő Picard sorozat között. • J.J. Abrams vitatott nyilatkozatait, valamint a film vegyes megítélését is átbeszéljük: mennyire fontos az eredeti idővonalhoz képest keletkező következetlenségek számon tartása, és mennyire időtálló a produkció?

Welcome to the Science of Star Trek, a podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series in the summer podcast special series Trekking Through Compliance.In this series I am joined by Astrophysicist and  Healthcare Futurist Ben Locwin. In this podcast, we consider the TOS episode Where No Man Has Gone Before as a starting point for the consideration of the science around the phaser. The Federation starship Enterprise is on an exploratory mission to leave the galaxy. At the edge of the galaxy, the ship it encounters a strange barrier which damages the ship's systems and warp drive, forcing a retreat. At the same time, nine crew members are killed and both helmsman Gary Mitchell and ship's psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Dehner are knocked unconscious by the barrier's effect. When he awakens, Mitchell's eyes glow silver, and he begins to display remarkable psychic powers. Alarmed that Mitchell may take over the Enterprise, Kirk decides to maroon him at an unmanned lithium-cracking facility on the remote planet of Delta Vega. Once there, the landing party tries to confine Mitchell, but his powers have become too great. Kirk follows with a phaser rifle, the only time in the Original Series it was seen. Kirk uses the phaser rifle to create a rockslide, killing Mitchell. Highlights Include:Why aren't phasers being used today?Why is air the biggest problem in creating a phaser?How can you aim and shoot at a target using a phaser?How do you deal with the energy loss?

Az egykori USS Valiant csillaghajót követve az Enterprise egy olyan elképzelhetetlen jelenséggel találkozik, amely a közönséges halandók számára kezelhetetlen hatalmat hordoz: a rohamosan erősödő szuperképességek birtokába jutó Gary Mitchell – aki egyébként Kirk régi barátja – sajnos percről-percre távolabb sodródik a mértéktartás és az emberség határaitól. Az e heti témánk: Ahová még ember nem merészkedett, melyről további érdekességeket olvashattok az Űrszekerek cikkében! Hírszekció: - Elhunyt David Odgen Stiers, aki az Új nemzedék emlékezetes Mindvégig élni (4x22 Half a Life) című epizódjában játszotta Dr. Timicint, a Lwaxana Troi hatására kis híján dezertáló tudóst. - A hetvenes évek közepén még William Shatner és Leonard Nimoy sem látott reális esélyt a Star Trek visszatérésére. Szerencsére nem lett igazuk. - Karl Urban derülátóan viszonyul a következő Trek mozifilmhez, de egyébként Batman szerepét is szívesen vállalná, ha úgy adódna. - Megjelent az emTV.hu legújabb podcastja, a Médiazabálók, melynek első adásában a Star Trek is szóba kerül, ennek részleteiről, valamint a márciusi Parallaxis készítésével kapcsolatban Ádám hozott új információkat. Az aktuális kibeszélőben: - A Where no man has gone before volt a Star Trek második pilotja, melynek vágott verziója végül a harmadik epizódként lett bemutatva. A korábbi készítés miatt a sorozat megszokott egyenruhái és díszletei még nem a véglegesek, Dr. McCoy helyett pedig Dr. Piper az orvos. - A szuperképességekre utaló, speciális hatást keltő kontaktlencsék a Gary Mitchellt játszó Gary Lockwood, és a Dr. Dehnert alakító Sally Kellerman szabad látását meglehetősen korlátozták. - Delta Vega: egy kietlen bolygó a galaxis távoli pontján, ami a 2009-es Star Trek filmben valahogy közelebb került a Vulkánhoz, mint kéne. - Gary Mitchell valamennyire mégis csak ember maradt, hiszen néha hibákat is elkövet: a kapitány sírkövét az akció közben például teljesen elrontotta, így a nézők a James R. Kirk feliratot olvashatják. - Indokolatlanul szénné égő, szikrázó, füstölő konzolok és kezelőfelületetek, amiktől a többi Star Trek sorozat és mozifilm tisztjei sem lesznek biztonságban sem a hídon, sem a gépházban. - A hosszú hétévégére az Impulzus csapatával egy időtálló Star Trek mozi újranézését ajánljuk a követőinknek, a következő különszámunkban ugyanis a Star Trek VI: A nem ismert tartomány című moziról lesz szó.

Chris and Cindy beam back aboard the Enterprise to review two recent photonovel comics by industry legend John Byrne, and published by IDW! These “lost episodes” feature actual images of Shatner, Nimoy and company…recomposited to fit Byrnes's new stories! First up is Star Trek Annual, 2013: “Strange New Worlds”. The Enterprise intercepts a transmission from Delta Vega… the planet where Captain Kirk was forced to kill his best friend Gary Mitchell…driven mad by god-like power in the 2nd series pilot, “Where No Man Has Gone Before”. Has Mitchell returned? And if so, what does he want? In Star Trek: New Visions #2, “Time's Echo”, a startling message from 1,000 years ago surfaces. A message sent by…Captain James T. Kirk! How could the Enterprise have sent this message centuries before the crew was ever born? Also, Byrne reveals the true fate of Captain's Yeoman Janice Rand. It's classic Star Trek as you like it!

Nero Comics. Following the release of the first J.J. Abrams Star Trek film in 2009, IDW released a four-part series that told the backstory of the movie's villain, Nero. Comprised of bits cut from the film along with original elements, the series provides motivation to the actions Nero takes in the film and fills in some of the technological blanks as well. In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher Jones take a flight from Rura Penthe to the edge of the Delta Quadrant and back to Delta Vega to find out why Nero is so hellbent on destroying Spock and the Federation—and how he gains the ability to do it. In our news segment we give you our review of Star Trek Ongoing #24, which marks the return of the Gorn and builds upon 2013's Star Trek video game as the Enterprise crew continues their post adventures. Plus, we solve the financial crisis that has stumped the galaxy for ages—how to differentiate Breen currency.
