SPOILER ALERT: The penultimate episode of Star Trek: Picard's third and final season features the compelling return of Admiral Elizabeth Shelby, played by friend of the pod Elizabeth Dennehy. Shelby first appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation's classic two-part episode "The Best of Both Worlds" as a famous Borg fighter, so her return is particularly ironic. Elizabeth (Dennehy) talks about how she got the call; what it was like to step on to the bridge of The Enterprise-F; the level and specifics of her fandom; the (perhaps coincidental) power of The Twitter Machine; the ways in which her appearance was both a surprise and not; the value of an actor not knowing too much about the larger storyline; a sliver of hope that maybe Shelby has survived; how Elizabeth is connected offscreen to Miles O'Brien, Keiko O'Brien, Soji Asha; and Scott Bakula, who played Enterprise NX-01 captain Jonathan Archer; the stress of keeping Shelby's appearance secret; how small the Star Trek casting universe is; a special appearance by Wesley Crusher himself, Wil Wheaton, now the host of the Star Trek companion show, The Ready Room; how little Elizabeth misses her 80s hairstyle; and what you do not want to be doing while you're saving the world.  (Length 28:19)

This week on Episode 508 of Priority One: Anson Mount updates fans on the status of #StrangeNewWorlds; Paramount+ is serious about its streaming; the mobile game Star Trek Fleet Command meets The Next Generation; and Chase Masterson joins us to talk about the Pop Culture Hero Coalition! TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds JLP In Effigy By Elio Lleo If you’re looking to add to your existing Star Trek collection, then you might want to #TrekOut EXO-6’s latest product. Their 1:6 scale articulated figure of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the style and uniform from Star Trek: First Contact is now available for preorder. AKA "Mother's Day 2022." Image: EXO-6. The figurine has over 30 points of articulation that allow you recreate some of your favorite moments from the film---with a Type II hand phaser, the TR-590 Tricorder X, or a Type 3B Phaser Rifle! So, if you’re looking to add to your collection, you can pre-order now for $20 US---but the total cost will be $189.95 + $25 US international shipping. https://youtu.be/eGoXyXiwOBg?t=73 I'm A Doctor, Not A...Well, Yes, A Podcaster By Cat Hough As you might recall from a previous episode, we mentioned that Gates McFadden was getting into podcasting. Well her new podcast, Gates McFadden InvestiGates: Who Do You Think You Are? launches May 12. This is a limited podcast series where Gates invites some of her besties over for a chat. Who’s on the lineup? Well, to name a few: Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, Wil Wheaton, Brent Spiner, Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn, John  de Lancie, Robert Picardo, Michael Westmore, Nana Visitor, Denise Crosby and more. Each show is less interview and more one-on-one intimate conversation. NacelleCast promises that InvestiGates will feature “never-before-heard stories” from the stars and creatives behind Star Trek. https://youtu.be/tg50Jok82nc While we are very excited to listen to her new podcast, we do have some unfortunate news. McFadden confirmed this week to TrekMovie.com that she will not be reprising her role as Beverly Crusher in Season Two of Star Trek: Picard, saying “I’m not in the second season. I’m sad that I’m not. Things have changed a lot on different levels. So I have no idea at this point. I’m disappointed because it would have been so much fun to just work with those people. But we’ll see. I have no idea. I wish I could tell you.” The Vision of Trek In Gene’s Centennial Year By Rosco McQueen It’s the core mantra of the Vulcan philosophy, and the overall Star Trek franchise---infinite diversity in infinite combinations.  This week Rod Rodenberry reflected on the guiding principle of his father, Gene Rodenberry, who was born a century ago in 1921.  Speaking with The Credits, Rod Roddenberry spoke about his father and the future he pictured for everyone. “He took more of a humanistic or a realistic approach.  What could it be like one day? How did he see us 200, 300 years in the future? My father took the approach that we’re sort of a juvenile, child race-species right now, but we grow like any species---any life form does---and we mature. In that future, we realize it’s the diversity in idea, not just form. The fact that we are fighting over the fact that we look different now is childish. We need to be embracing the uniqueness between us because that’s how you grow.” Rod goes on to speak about diversity being the strength of Star Trek, and how it has always been the goal of the series that “no matter what your ethnic, gender, socio-economic, religious, political background is, it should all be represented at some level on Star Trek. That’s what humanity is and needs to be. That’s what Star Trek is.” Paramount+ Piles It On By Rosco McQueen In an effort to compete with other streaming services, Paramount+ is leaning into its cinema pedigree. The promise is an additional 1,000 movies added to their library, for 2,500 total titles in June. According to the Hollywood Reporter, it’s all part of ViacomCBS’s plan to counter Disney+’s catalogue of Marvel and Star Wars titles, or HBO MAX and their same-day cinema and streaming releases. CEO Bob Bakish announced the plan, as well as future exclusive titles on ViacomCBS’s first-quarter earnings conference call.  Bakish said that the new Mark Whalberg film Infinite will go straight to the on-demand service, reflecting their plans to release an original movie every week in 2022.  Bakish also told shareholders that their subscriber base grew substantially since the rebrand to Paramount+, adding 6 million global streaming subscribers to reach 36 million in its first quarter.

Now, here are a few headlines that we didn’t discuss but might interest you: While promoting his latest film, “The Virtuoso,” Anson Mount spoke with RadioTimes’ Paul Simpson about getting back into the Captain’s chair for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. According to Mount, although COVID protocols have required everyone to adapt, “it’s been one of the smoothest starts I think I’ve ever had in television.” Additionally, it sounds like some of the production staff have crossed over from Star Trek: Discovery, making the transition much easier. Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 will be released on Blu-Ray on July 20. The four-disc collection will also include over 2 hours of special features. Nothing as to whether there will be a 4K release of a new Trek series any time soon. Actor Nathan Jung, who appeared in Star Trek: The Original Series has died at the age of 74. Over the years he had roles on TV and film in The A Team, Kung Fu, Big Trouble in Little China, and the Kentucky Fried Movie. But it was Trek that helped launch his career: Jung played Ghengis Khan in the episode “The Savage Curtain” in 1969.   STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds (Say That You Remember) Fusing In September By Cath Hough The U.S.S. Enterprise-F, designed by Thomas Marrone will be included in the 2022 Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar series by Universe Publishing. This is the first time a ship from Star Trek Online has appeared in the calendar series. Ships from TOS, TNG and DS9 are also featured and the calendar includes some ship designs and cutaway diagrams. Maybe we should start calling Thomas Mr. September? [No. - Ed.] So much for thrusters only while in spacedock. Image: Thomas Morrone via Universe Publishing. Also this week, our favorite environment artist Nick Duguid streamed his design and build of a 2409 Federation fusion reactor environment. This is a fascinating video: Nick walks us through his process from forming an idea to actually building an asset. It seems like we’re just watching what a day at work is like for Nick. The video ends with showcasing his final design and it’s an amazing piece of work.  https://twitter.com/Tumerboy/status/1391770455309099011?s=20 Cryptic’s Latest Console-ations By Rosco McQueen Good news for console captains this week, with the Delta Recruit event coming to consoles from May 13 on Playstation and Xbox.  The event will run for 28 days, and includes improvements to the existing recruit rewards to remove out of date missions and introduce some new rewards.  It’s a great way to earn extra perks on your account, so why not take the opportunity to create a new character! Any freshly-made 2409 characters from Starfleet, the Klingon Defense Force, or the Romulan Republic are eligible to become a recruit for the 28 days the event runs! From May 13th through 20th, console captains can claim a free Phoenix prize pack each day. Visit Onna on Deep Space Nine or get gritty with Grym on Drozana Station to claim your pack.  And lastly for console, the Jovian Intel Heavy Raider from Season three of Discovery is finally making it to the game.  The new Tier 6 ship will be available via the Infinity Lock Box. The Next Generation of Fleet Command By Elio Lleo Turning our attention to mobile gaming, Scopely’s Star Trek: Fleet Command introduced a new era of characters from the Star Trek Multiverse on May 11th. TNG characters like Geordi, Deanna, Data, Beverly, Will, and Jean-Luc are now available; according to a post on StarTrek.com, “the event will continue to evolve over time, with new surprises rolling out in the following months.” If the beard unlocks by microtransaction I am going to riot.

This week on Priority One --- We trek out Comicbook.com’s interview with Jonathan Frakes, STLV 2020’s future, how “The Saint” might save Kirk, and Quarantine pastimes. In Star Trek Gaming, Herocollector opens Star Trek Online ships for pre-order, and La Sirena flies! Then we open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages! 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 Questions Are: CQ: Will you be purchasing tickets for Star Trek Las Vegas 2020? AND CQ: Will you be purchasing “La Sirena” in Star Trek Online? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Jonathan Frakes Talks With ComicBook.com These are trying times. It’s easy to feel lost and confused. Empty. But stay strong, this won’t last forever. Star Trek will RETURN! To help ease our no-new-Star-Trek-blues, ComicBook.com’s Jamie Lovett delivered a video interview with the iconic Jonathan Frakes. Spoiler alert - if you haven’t seen Star Trek: Discovery or Picard, go watch them.  We’ll wait. Okay, good. Frakes and Lovett discussed the state of Star Trek and the tonal shift  Discovery will be experiencing in season 3. ’’At the end of season two, we flash-forwarded I think 930 years. Michael Burnham has found a new core, not to mention a new partner in crime. So again, there's a big tonal shift on that show, less driven by the pain and guilt of her past and more about the magical reunification of the Discovery crew and wherever she went off to.[...] So those two things coming back together is very much the theme, and how grateful everyone is and what's next. It's got a lot of action-adventure and not so much pain." Frakes also talked about getting back in the center seat in Picard’s season 1 finale, 'Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2’ "That was a really different experience because I was alone. I was 'self-directing.' I was in a captain's chair. I had a spacesuit on. I had my beard trimmed, my Riker hair put back on, my bald spots covered up. It felt very familiar, and it was like a flashback. Because of how well 'Nepenthe' went, I was less nervous and, I got to say, thrilled to have been asked back, to be perfectly frank." STLV Tickets On Sale, To The Surprise of Many On April 17th, San Diego Comic Con announced that its 2020 convention - which was set to kick off July 23rd and run until July 26th - was cancelled. The news shook geekdom, but it was not terribly surprising, and most considered the move responsible. But what of the official Star Trek Las Vegas convention set to run just two weeks after the now-cancelled SDCC? Surely that would be cancelled too?  Right? Right?!? . Wrong. For now,anyway. In an update posted to their web page and social media outlets, Creation released in part ”We hope you have been staying safe and healthy during this challenging time. While Creation has been social distancing as a team, we are still working hard to make the upcoming Official Star Trek Convention a grand celebration of Gene Roddenberry’s legacy for a hopeful future.  The event is set for August 5-9, 2020 at The Rio All-Suites Resort and Casino in fabulous Las Vegas[...]As something to look forward to this summer, we can’t wait to spend another truly intergalactic time in Vegas! Your devoted Trekker friends at Creation Entertainment” The announcement was met with a wide variety of reactions, with most questioning the motives of the move. What do you think? Chris Pine In Talks to Reboot “The Saint” It’s been a while since we’ve discussed a possible Star Trek movie, and this story might be a reach, but it’s worth mentioning. On April 21st, Variety broke the story that Chris Pine - JJ’s Captain Kirk - was in negotiations to star in Paramount’s reboot of “The Saint”. “The Saint” is a 1920’s book series, written by Leslie Charteris, featuring a Robin Hood-esq hero named Simon Templar. But the books, and their screen adaptations - starring Roger Moore and Val Kilmer - aren’t  the real story here. This is ”Paramount and Pine have had strong ties for many years. Their relationship goes back to 2009 when the studio hired him to play Captain Kirk in the latest “Star Trek” franchise, launching his career as a leading man in the process. While the fourth “Star Trek” film is still being developed, the studio saw “The Saint” as the perfect role for Pine as they wait for that script to be finished.”. Does this confirm that Noah Hawley’s Trek will star the Kelvin cast or is the reporter speculating? Only time will tell! Star Trek Cast Talks Binging You’ve watched every Star Trek series. Three times. All the way through. And quarantining is Driving. You. Bananas. So what do you do with your time? Star Trek alumni may have some suggestions for you! IGN asked Star Trek’s Discovery and Picard casts what they’re binging during this era of social distancing. Sonequa Martin-Green, Brent Spiner, Jeri Ryan, Isa Briones, and others talked about the movies,shows, books and games getting them through Covid-19. To find out who’s go-to show is “The Office”, or who ISN’T playing Star Trek Online - hint: it’s all of them - trek out the link in our show notes! Star Trek Online and Gaming News by Shane Hoover Hero Collector Opens STO Ships For Pre-Order If you’ve been staying up-to-date on Star Trek merchandise and STO news this year, you’ll know that Hero Collector has announced seven Star Trek Online models joining their Eaglemoss collection. This week Hero Collector and Cryptic Studios officially announced pre-ordering for the first two ships in the collection. The Gagarin Miracle Worker Battlecruiser and the Chimera Heavy Destroyer can be pre-ordered now for $29.95 from Eaglemoss.com. The other five ships still to come are the Enterprise F, the Andromeda Exploration Cruiser, the Bortasqu War Cruiser, the Vastam Tactical Command Warbird, and the Pathfinder Long Range Science Vessel.  La Sirena Warps Into STO If you’ve been eagerly waiting for the ships of Star Trek: Picard to make an appearance in Star Trek Online, then the latest news from Cryptic should excite you. On Tuesday, March 28th, Ambassador Kael posted a blog announcing the release of the T6 “La Sirena” Heavy Raider. The ship reproduces in great detail Captain Cristóbal Rios’ La Sirena. However, Cryptic Lead Artist Thomas Marrone pointed out in a tweet that “The STO version is not the same exact type of ship as the original La Sirena. It's significantly bigger, about 30-40 meters longer, so that it can be considered a "capital ship" in STO. You'll notice we scaled the window down to illustrate this.” There are a number of interesting points to the stats and capabilities of this new ship. For starters, the ship has only four Bridge Officer seats, but two of these are Commander seats.As a heavy raider, the ship has a 5 forward weapon  but, only a 1 aft weapon, with an Experimental Weapon slot and Improved Raider Flanking. The ship also boasts Pilot Maneuvers. It’s interesting to note that while the Bridge Officer layout of the ship appears limited, it seems the ship’s new Universal console and Starship Trait are designed to greatly improve Bridge Officer ability cooldowns. To see the full stats, Trek out the blog link in our show notes. La Sirena will be another new Tier 6 ship joining the ever-growing T6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack, and as such is only available through Promotional Research and Development Duty Officer Packs. You can also purchase the ship on the in-game Exchange, though such Promotion ships are typically upwards of 1 Billion EC. EVENTS Next weekend, May 7th through May 11th, PC players will have a Research and Development Weekend. During the event, you’ll earn 50% more XP from R&D Schools, as well as bonuses to R&D materials packs obtained through the C-Store and in-game. Material harvest nodes in Ground and Space missions will also reward bonus R&D materials, Dilithium ore, and possibly an upgrade Catalyst.

This Weeks Community Questions Are: CQ: Will you be purchasing tickets for Star Trek Las Vegas 2020? AND CQ: Will you be purchasing “La Sirena” in Star Trek Online? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Jonathan Frakes Talks With ComicBook.com These are trying times. It's easy to feel lost and confused. Empty. But stay strong, this won't last forever. Star Trek will RETURN! To help ease our no-new-Star-Trek-blues, ComicBook.com's Jamie Lovett delivered a video interview with the iconic Jonathan Frakes. Spoiler alert - if you haven't seen Star Trek: Discovery or Picard, go watch them.  We'll wait. Okay, good. Frakes and Lovett discussed the state of Star Trek and the tonal shift  Discovery will be experiencing in season 3. ''At the end of season two, we flash-forwarded I think 930 years. Michael Burnham has found a new core, not to mention a new partner in crime. So again, there's a big tonal shift on that show, less driven by the pain and guilt of her past and more about the magical reunification of the Discovery crew and wherever she went off to.[...] So those two things coming back together is very much the theme, and how grateful everyone is and what's next. It's got a lot of action-adventure and not so much pain." Frakes also talked about getting back in the center seat in Picard's season 1 finale, 'Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2' "That was a really different experience because I was alone. I was 'self-directing.' I was in a captain's chair. I had a spacesuit on. I had my beard trimmed, my Riker hair put back on, my bald spots covered up. It felt very familiar, and it was like a flashback. Because of how well 'Nepenthe' went, I was less nervous and, I got to say, thrilled to have been asked back, to be perfectly frank." STLV Tickets On Sale, To The Surprise of Many On April 17th, San Diego Comic Con announced that its 2020 convention - which was set to kick off July 23rd and run until July 26th - was cancelled. The news shook geekdom, but it was not terribly surprising, and most considered the move responsible. But what of the official Star Trek Las Vegas convention set to run just two weeks after the now-cancelled SDCC? Surely that would be cancelled too?  Right? Right?!? . Wrong. For now,anyway. In an update posted to their web page and social media outlets, Creation released in part ”We hope you have been staying safe and healthy during this challenging time. While Creation has been social distancing as a team, we are still working hard to make the upcoming Official Star Trek Convention a grand celebration of Gene Roddenberry's legacy for a hopeful future.  The event is set for August 5-9, 2020 at The Rio All-Suites Resort and Casino in fabulous Las Vegas[...]As something to look forward to this summer, we can't wait to spend another truly intergalactic time in Vegas! Your devoted Trekker friends at Creation Entertainment” The announcement was met with a wide variety of reactions, with most questioning the motives of the move. What do you think? Chris Pine In Talks to Reboot “The Saint” It's been a while since we've discussed a possible Star Trek movie, and this story might be a reach, but it's worth mentioning. On April 21st, Variety broke the story that Chris Pine - JJ's Captain Kirk - was in negotiations to star in Paramount's reboot of “The Saint”. “The Saint” is a 1920's book series, written by Leslie Charteris, featuring a Robin Hood-esq hero named Simon Templar. But the books, and their screen adaptations - starring Roger Moore and Val Kilmer - aren't  the real story here. This is ”Paramount and Pine have had strong ties for many years. Their relationship goes back to 2009 when the studio hired him to play Captain Kirk in the latest “Star Trek” franchise, launching his career as a leading man in the process. While the fourth “Star Trek” film is still being developed, the studio saw “The Saint” as the perfect role for Pine as they wait for that script to be finished.”. Does this confirm that Noah Hawley's Trek will star the Kelvin cast or is the reporter speculating? Only time will tell! Star Trek Cast Talks Binging You've watched every Star Trek series. Three times. All the way through. And quarantining is Driving. You. Bananas. So what do you do with your time? Star Trek alumni may have some suggestions for you! IGN asked Star Trek's Discovery and Picard casts what they're binging during this era of social distancing. Sonequa Martin-Green, Brent Spiner, Jeri Ryan, Isa Briones, and others talked about the movies,shows, books and games getting them through Covid-19. To find out who's go-to show is “The Office”, or who ISN'T playing Star Trek Online - hint: it's all of them - trek out the link in our show notes! Star Trek Online and Gaming News by Shane Hoover Hero Collector Opens STO Ships For Pre-Order If you've been staying up-to-date on Star Trek merchandise and STO news this year, you'll know that Hero Collector has announced seven Star Trek Online models joining their Eaglemoss collection. This week Hero Collector and Cryptic Studios officially announced pre-ordering for the first two ships in the collection. The Gagarin Miracle Worker Battlecruiser and the Chimera Heavy Destroyer can be pre-ordered now for $29.95 from Eaglemoss.com. The other five ships still to come are the Enterprise F, the Andromeda Exploration Cruiser, the Bortasqu War Cruiser, the Vastam Tactical Command Warbird, and the Pathfinder Long Range Science Vessel.  La Sirena Warps Into STO If you've been eagerly waiting for the ships of Star Trek: Picard to make an appearance in Star Trek Online, then the latest news from Cryptic should excite you. On Tuesday, March 28th, Ambassador Kael posted a blog announcing the release of the T6 “La Sirena” Heavy Raider. The ship reproduces in great detail Captain Cristóbal Rios' La Sirena. However, Cryptic Lead Artist Thomas Marrone pointed out in a tweet that “The STO version is not the same exact type of ship as the original La Sirena. It's significantly bigger, about 30-40 meters longer, so that it can be considered a "capital ship" in STO. You'll notice we scaled the window down to illustrate this.” There are a number of interesting points to the stats and capabilities of this new ship. For starters, the ship has only four Bridge Officer seats, but two of these are Commander seats.As a heavy raider, the ship has a 5 forward weapon  but, only a 1 aft weapon, with an Experimental Weapon slot and Improved Raider Flanking. The ship also boasts Pilot Maneuvers. It's interesting to note that while the Bridge Officer layout of the ship appears limited, it seems the ship's new Universal console and Starship Trait are designed to greatly improve Bridge Officer ability cooldowns. To see the full stats, Trek out the blog link in our show notes. La Sirena will be another new Tier 6 ship joining the ever-growing T6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack, and as such is only available through Promotional Research and Development Duty Officer Packs. You can also purchase the ship on the in-game Exchange, though such Promotion ships are typically upwards of 1 Billion EC. EVENTS Next weekend, May 7th through May 11th, PC players will have a Research and Development Weekend. During the event, you'll earn 50% more XP from R&D Schools, as well as bonuses to R&D materials packs obtained through the C-Store and in-game. Material harvest nodes in Ground and Space missions will also reward bonus R&D materials, Dilithium ore, and possibly an upgrade Catalyst. PRIORITY ONE ARMADA NEWS Join us for TFO Thursday - each Thursday we team up with other Armada members to earn marks and dilithium.  Epsilon Fleet - another Tier V upgrade almost ready to go on cooldown.

This Weeks Community Questions Are: CQ: Which Star Trek news this week was most exciting to you? Why? AND CQ: Will you be purchasing the new Picard bundle? TREK IT OUT by Shane Hoover The Picard News Cycle Hits Warp 10 We’re in the final week of waiting for Star Trek: Picard’s January 23rd premier on CBS: All Access. If we thought that the hype was hitting high warp in the last couple of weeks, then I guess it has officially hit Warp 13 at this point. Because Picard news seems to be everywhere at once now.  For starters comes the news that the new Picard series, which hasn’t streamed a single episode yet, has officially been renewed by CBS for a second season.  ViacomCBS Executive Vice President, Julie McNamara, cited the magnitude of excitement for the show’s premiere as a driving reason for the renewal. Also announced this week, Picard’s sister show “Star Trek: Discovery” has more quietly been green-lit for a fourth season.  This too, before an episode of Season 3 has been released. Sir Patrick Stewart Talks to NPR The obvious place to start would be with the Captain himself. Sir Patrick Stewart sat down last week for a chat with NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday program. As he has stated before, Stewart was initially not considering a return to the role of Jean Luc Picard, but he’s now added some details to his thoughts on the matter. The political climate in the U.K. and the United States left Stewart feeling that the real world had become too distanced from Star Trek’s Federation ideal. He specifically mentioned his disappointment, embarrassment, and even anger at the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union, saying “The European Union always made me feel, well, we are heading towards our own Federation of Planets somewhere down the line, that will come about.” But, while sitting down with the show’s producers, Picard was introduced to their vision for a Federation that’s very different from the one Jean Luc was last seen defending. This Federation has leaned toward isolationism, and Picard has distanced himself.  The discussion was enough to change Stewart’s mind and intensely spark his interest.  Stewart also let drop a mention that during or after the Romulan refugee crisis, Picard made some “errors of judgement; mistakes.” Speaking to what the character still has to offer viewers today, Sir Patrick highlighted the Captain’s modesty, patience, and passion for humankind. He points out, “One of the great things about Jean Luc was he was a great listener and would only speak when he felt everyone had expressed what they believed. The crew of the Enterprise came to know that they were at liberty to speak the truth about what they believed and what they thought.” Stewart believes more people, particularly leaders, could stand to speak up about what they truly and passionately believe. Kurtzman and Kadin Speak to TrekCore.com From Sir Patrick Stewart, we shift our attention to Star Trek’s franchise head, Alex Kurtzman. At a press tour in Pasadena, California, Kurtzman and producing partner Heather Kadin answered questions from Trek news website TrekCore.com. Asked about the lessons learned from the inaugural seasons of Star Trek: Discovery, he spoke about the importance of hearing the reactions and feedback of fans. “Before we lock things down it’s terribly important to listen to fans, and hear what they like — and what they didn’t respond to — or what wasn’t clear. To make sure we’re tacking accordingly. I learned when I started working in the ‘Star Trek’ world that that’s a really essential part of making these shows.”, said Kurtzman. Speaking to the state of the Star Trek universe as a whole, Heather Kadin mentioned the ongoing development of the Section 31 show, and the animated Lower Decks and Nickelodeon projects. The key question , she says “Is this [show] a unique space we haven’t explored yet?”, and she hopes they continue to find those new avenues. Kurtzman offered up an intriguing new bit of news next, declaring that there are two more live action shows in the works that haven’t even been announced. With Discovery viewer reaction hugely vocal, it can probably be assumed that one of those shows will be a show centered around Pike and Spock’s Enterprise. We’ll just have to speculate what the other unannounced show might be. Jeri Ryan Interviews with IGN The next in this week’s series of Picard interviews is coverage of Jeri Ryan’s chat with IGN. Speaking about where the new series finds Voyager’s Seven of Nine, Ryan explains that Seven has seen a lot of “dark crap” in the last 20 years.  The universe is a mess, she says, and Seven holds Starfleet and the Federation largely responsible. As the story opens, Seven is working with a group of freedom fighters called the Fenris Rangers. Ryan says the group is trying to keep a semblance of order in the galaxy’s mess.  Her path crosses with that of Jean Luc Picard, and Ryan says, “This is the first time that Seven and Picard actually meet. They know each other by reputation. And ... Seven's not on the 'Oh, he's a god' bandwagon I think, initially, when she meets him”.  Ryan’s character was brought into the story because of Picard’s fundamental relationship with the Borg. Alex Kurtzman has said that Seven of Nine organically grew into the story through her shared experiences as someone who had also been assimilated. The opportunity to explore that element of their lives, and what it means to them, presented compelling questions for the show. Marina Sirtis Speaks on Troi’s Return As part of a Picard panel for the Television Critics Association, Marina Sirtis had the opportunity to address her return to the screen as The Next Generation’s Deana Troi. The actress admits that TNG fans eager to find out all about the state of their favorite characters in Picard may be left short. She says viewers can expect to find out a little bit about Troi and Riker, but not everything. Sirtis also shared a humorous anecdote about joining the show.  It seems that when she spoke to the wardrobe department of Picard, they were unaware that Sirtis wore a wig and black contact lenses for her TNG costume. Luckily, the actress could bail them out. She says, “I was like, ‘Do you know what? I think I stole them so I think I have them. So let’s just get the contact lenses cleaned because they’ve been sitting in a lens case for 15 years, and I have the wig.” Speaking generally about her return, Sirtis recalled comments made by Carrie Fisher on her return to Star Wars. She quoted Carrie saying “I’m a 60-year-old actress in Hollywood. People aren’t exactly throwing scripts at me”, which is kind of the place I’m in.” With the humor Sirtis regularly displays at Trek conventions, she also pointed out her least favorite aspect of joining Picard - filming in HD - saying, “Really, the man who invented high definition cameras, and it was a man because a woman would never have invented it, right? May he rot in Hell for all eternity.” Noah Hawley Speaks About His Trek Movie Picard isn’t the only Star Trek in the news this week, though! Fargo and Legion creator Noah Hawley spoke to Deadline this week about his upcoming Star Trek feature film. Interestingly, Hawley says it’s not decided if his film will carry on with the cast of the recent Star Trek films by Bad Robot.  The project also might not be connected to the ongoing Trek universe of Alex Kurtzman and CBS. The filmmaker says, “I have my own take on Star Trek, and going back to what I loved about The Next Generation. When a lot of franchises focus on ‘might makes right’, Star Trek is about exploration and humanity at its best, and diversity and creative problem solving.” He specifically called out the moment in Wrath of Khan when Captain Kirk stalls for time as they remotely lower the Reliant’s shields. Those are the elements of Trek that he wants to reach.  Hawley says he still needs to write the script, and wants to be respectful to the underlying material. Star Trek Online and Gaming News by Anthony Cox Star Trek Online 10th Anniversary Begins with Cryptic Message With the 10th Anniversary of Star Trek Online right around the corner, many of us have been waiting for an announcement regarding the milestone event. Well, in a tweet dated January 14th, Star Trek Online shared a 10 Years of STO wallpaper featuring the Enterprise F and the Bortasqu Klingon Cruiser with a strange block of inserted text that read, “Hear me?” Even more mysterious was if you followed the link to the wallpaper and then clicked the wallpaper itself, you were taken to a completely different image. This one indicates a coded transmission and the saucer section of the Enterprise F with a series of characters where the registry number should have been. After being decoded through the ACII85 coding language, it translated to a phone number. Calling the phone number played a recording of the original series intro with a series of numbers spoken throughout. One of our own Patreon supporters, SFC, helped in linking the numbers to a hidden Cryptic blog post. This one contains a video that three more transmissions were coming and an audio recording of someone who seems to be given a recording device to make audio logs about their experiences. As of recording this episode it’s not known who the voice belongs to or what they are experiencing. Trek out the show notes for links to the tweet and decoded audio transmission. STO Hypes up Picard with a New(?) Bundle In anticipation of Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek Online has announced a new Picard Bundle. And we use the term “new” loosely. The bundle is now available and includes all uniforms and variations from The Next Generation, including the All Good Things uniform from the series finale. It also includes the Privateer uniform Picard wears in the episodes Gambit parts one and two. The replica Thompson submachine gun is the only weapon in the bundle. However the bundle does include three starships, a Tier three Constellation class cruiser, complete with an updated visual skin, a tier five Galaxy exploration cruiser and upgrade token, and a Miradorn Raider. Which was previously only available from a lockbox. The Picard Bundle will set you back 12,000 zen, that is unless you purchase it between now and January 20th when it will be on sale for only 6,000 zen. Star Trek Online Updates In Memoriam As many Star Trek Online players noticed a few weeks ago the in memoriam plaques on Earth Space Dock, the Klingon First City, and New Romulus Command. If you haven’t already we encourage you to take the time to visit these new installations, which are now columns lit-up in faction colors. Each one has a rotating list of names belonging to major contributors of the Star Trek franchise. Most recently adding Rene Auberjonois and Aaron Eisenberg. And if you’re missing those two specific Star Trek performers, be sure to stop by Quark’s Bar the next time you’re on Deep Space Nine. Both Odo and Captain Nog are now sharing a conversation at the far end of the bar for players to join in on. Patch Notables The patch notes for PC had a few interesting things we wanted to mention. The devs have added item filtering and searching in all inventory windows. This includes personal inventory, bank inventory, account bank, etc. There are two new material types for the Guardian Cruiser. 8 and 8B, along with two new window types, five and six. They’ve resolved an issue with the Winter Event buyout not properly processing. And finally Ground Borg enemies will adapt slower to weapons that have a lot of tics per firing cycle.

This edition of TTW has our regular crew diving into some deep discussion! First, Berg recounts his last experience with EagleMoss and how he mistakenly received the Enterprise F model. Next we deep dive into the waters that is the most recent episode of Discovery with "Project Daedalus." We discuss at length whether or not the show earned the recent events and if they might have fallen into the pitfall of a familiar science fiction trope. Finally, we go through the "Picard Series" casting news and alleged character descriptions. All in all, fun was had by everyone. As always, Listen and Enjoy.
