How will AI evolve from where it is now to what we see in Star Trek? We'll talk about the ways AI is depicted across the different series, how realistic the portrayal is (or isn't), whether the franchise is anti-AI, etc. We'll discuss some of the ways that AI could be used in the future, such as surgical operations on different aliens, controlling aspects of things like warp drive and transporter technology, and how AI isn't always talking Androids and evil computers but often integrated seamlessly into the background.

We're one week away from the debut of STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 3, and it looks like we have a couple of gimmick episodes coming up, so we thought we'd talk about some of our favorite gimmick episodes from past years.

The current Trek bosses have said that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' five seasons will take it right up to the launch of The Original Series -- and they've hinted that they could continue that with a new TOS series. That suggestion raise a LOT of questions, such as -- How might TOS be different given what they have done with the Pike era? What characters would they bring back? What would they reimagine? What updates might they make from a PC standpoint? And more. But the most important question is -- IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?? We'll answer those and many other questions in tonight's show.
