This week we’ll be pondering existing and asking the tough questions about belief and spirituality in the Trekverse: What species and individuals in the franchise seem to worship a God or gods? Which are agnostic or atheistic? Does Earth or the Federation seem to take a stand on religion at all? What other species seem […] The post Religion in Star Trek – Earth Station Trek – Episode 213 appeared first on The ESO Network.

That’s the question: “Is Star Trek Dying?” According to Robert Kazinsky, who played Zeph in the Section 31 film, it is — and he says he’s heard that directly from the boss’s mouth. So what do we think? Is it true? A couple years ago when we were getting Star Trek for almost a full […] The post Is Star Trek Dying? – Earth Station Trek – Episode 212 appeared first on The ESO Network.

That's the question: "Is Star Trek Dying?" According to Robert Kazinsky, who played Zeph in the Section 31 film, it is -- and he says he's heard that directly from the boss's mouth. So what do we think? Is it true? A couple years ago when we were getting Star Trek for almost a full calendar year, things were looking quite positive. Has that changed? What's the state of fandom now? Has streaming helped or hurt the franchise? If it is true, and Trek really is dying, what's the remedy? What can be done about it? We will answer (as best we can) all these questions and more in tonight's LIVE show. And as always we welcome your questions and insights as well!

This week the EARTH STATION TREK crew discusses filler episodes. According to Alex Kurtzman, the advantage of doing 10 episodes per season in Modern Trek is that you eliminate filler episodes – those that fall in between the classics in order to get your season to its 22 – 26 episode order. But “fillers” have […] The post Filler Episodes – Earth Station Trek – Episode 211 appeared first on The ESO Network.

This week the EARTH STATION TREK crew discusses filler episodes. According to Alex Kurtzman, the advantage of doing 10 episodes per season in Modern Trek is that you eliminate filler episodes - those that fall in between the classics in order to get your season to its 22 - 26 episode order. But "fillers" have their place too! We'll talk about what each of us considers to be filler eps, some of our favorites from the past, and whether we think (in spite of Kurtzman's feelings) that Modern Trek has fillers too! Join us for what should prove to be a fun topic that'll likely touch upon every Star Trek series.

We Trek fans talk a lot about Gene Roddenberry's vision for Star Trek. But what is that vision, and how does it still fit with our world today? Has Trek drifted from Gene's vision of a more perfect future with things like Section 31 and actions by Sisko, Archer, others? Is that a good and necessary or bad thing overall to adjust his vision with the times? This should prove to be a lively discussion.
