Glory to you... and your HOUSE! That's right - Season 2, episode 12 is here. Connor, Dominic, and Erica have a wonderful conversation with Robert O'Reilly, best known to us as Gowron, smote Chancellor of the Klingon Empire. We discuss Robert's New York City childhood, his Irish family, his failures with carpentry, and how being bad with wood led him to be great at acting. Irish wakes. University of Ohio. Accents. Making it to LA. Writing poetry and short stories. Fighting with his friend JG Hertzler. And of course, booking Star Trek and the birth of "those eyes!" Wash is looking better. Erica gets some fan questions in, this week's Star Trek Trivia gets chopped because of time, and Robert plays “Stuck on a Deserted Island with Connor Trinneer.” It's another awesome conversation and another amazing Star Trek icon having some laughs.

But before we begin, I want to provide you a massive update! So we realized there are 855 episodes of Star Trek, and if we did only 1 episode a week, it would be December 2038 before we got to watch the Season 1 finale of Strange New Worlds. So we have chosen that we will upload new episodes every Monday and Friday, and any two-parter episodes such as The Menagerie which is coming up soon, will be done as a single episode. For those who are watching this on TikTok, I may split it up on TikTok as two separate videos but you will be able to see the full episode over on YouTube, as well as download it on any major platform. The website “Memory Alpha” summary is “An encounter at the limits of our galaxy begins to change Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell and threatens the future of the Enterprise and the Human race itself.”Unlike when we watched The Cage, I was unable to do a rewatch with Strange New Pod, due to my work schedule and we had done a rewatch of Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country the night before recording this, as a tribute to the passing of David Warner, who played Gorkon in that film. My thoughts on this episode. This episode was that it was not nearly as good of a pilot especially compared to The Cage, I actually think that I would much rather watch The Cage over this episode, I don't know if it was truly the 60s feel to the show, but also I have not really enjoyed The Original Series as much as modern shows. It was still a good episode of Star Trek but not as strong of an episode. As a rating, I would rate this episode a 6, it had good parts to the show but also had much to be improved on. The official IMDB rating for Where No Man has Gone before, as of July 27st 2022, is 7.7 with 5544 viewers rating it. We still have not received any feedback but we would love it if you would a mailbag reply. Visit bit.ly/HavenMailbag, capital H and mailbag is all in caps.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country was the sixth and final big-screen adventure for the Star Trek crew, with peace talks between the Klingons and the Federation threatened by a high profile assassination. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss whether peace is possible without trust. A sceptical Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise are tasked with escorting the Klingon chancellor Gorkon (David Warner) to high level peace talks. After a tense dinner, things escalate quickly when the Klingon ship appears to be attacked by torpedoes fired by the Enterprise. General Chang (Christopher Plummer) demands revenge and Kirk surrenders immediately. He and McCoy try to save Gorkon, but cannot and are arrested. Facing trial on the Klingon homeworld, the two men must rely on Spock to solve the case and set them free. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country was directed by Nicholas Meyer, who had previously directed The Wrath of Khan. The story was by Leonard Nimoy with additional credits given to Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal. Screenplay credits were given to Meyer and Denny Martin Flinn, his only work for the show. In this episode Gerry and Iain considered whether all good things must come to an end. The discussion continues in the comments below and please keep in touch with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram where we're @trekpodcast. You can listen to the show here on the website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Pocket Casts, TuneIn, Stitcher, Google or wherever you find your podcasts. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country was released in 1991. It is 1 hour and 50 minutes long. It can be viewed on Paramount+ in the United States and is available on DVD and Blu Ray in other countries.

In this movie review/podcast of Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country they will talk about all the things that make it bold! Like the risks it took with its story, the confidence they had in their top notch special effects, and how it depicted the crews courageousness. Capt. James Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew of the USS Enterprise are carrying Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner) to Earth to negotiate a peace treaty with the United Federation of Planets. The ship appears to fire on a Klingon vessel, and Gorkon is killed in the subsequent confusion. Kirk and the ship's doctor, Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley), are arrested for murder, leaving Spock (Leonard Nimoy) to figure out who is behind the attack and save the negotiations.Edited by Jessica Hickson
This week, we read Four Things My Geeky-Jock-of-a-Best-Friend Must Do in Europe by Jane Harrington. We discuss realism in portraying (and not overtly critiquing) cultural ignorance, self-confidence during puberty, and why the Star Trek-loving Gorkon is the ACTUAL WORST. We also talk about ALL CAPS versus italics BECAUSE THIS BOOK LIKES TO SHOUT. CW: Racism, European stereotyping, discussion of slurs (for Romani and queer people), discussion of homophobia and body image, objectification, sexual harassment, mental illness as a punchline, and finally a young, culturally-ignorant protagonist.

In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films and one the best films of the "Star Trek" film franchise: "Star Trek IV: The Undiscovered Country" directed by Nicholas Meyer. Following the destruction of the Klingon moon Praxis - after which it is believed might see the potential extinction of the Klingon race entirely - the Klingon Empire decides to pursue a path of peace between themselves and their longtime adversary the United Federation of Planets and its Starfleet; and as a consequence Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew of the soon to be decommissioned USS Enterprise has been volunteered to be the Federation's symbol of peace and also to escort Chancellor Gorkon (played by David Warner) to peace talks due to take place on Earth. However, after the Klingon Chancellor's ship is seemingly attacked by the Enterprise and Gorkon is seemingly assassinated by Starfleet officers, Captain Kirk and Dr. Leonard McCoy are put on trial and are sentenced to life in prison on the reputed "Alien's graveyard", ice-covered, Klingon prison planet of Rura Penthe - while Captain Spock (played by Leonard Nimoy), assisted by his new protégé Valeris (played by Kim Cattrall), investigate who it was that attacked and killed Chancellor Gorkon in an attempt to preserve the prospect of peace between the Federation and the Klingons. However, parties on both sides who wish to continue the conflict between Federation and the Klingon Empire are conspiring, including Klingon General Chang (played by Christopher Plummer) - and it is all up to Captain Kirk, Captain Spock, and the crew of the Enterprise to do all that they can to reveal the conspiracy and allow for the peace talks between the Federation and the Klingons to take place and be successful. The film is the sixth and the final film to feature the main cast members of the "Star Trek: The Original Series" TV show and it is a fitting tribute to their enduring legacy that will continue to live long and prosper for many years to come. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/markthepoet/message
In space, all warriors are cold warriors! An ecological disaster leads to the breakup of an enemy empire, but in “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” it’s the Klingon moon Praxis subbing in for the Soviet power station Chernobyl. Kirk and company struggle with their animosity toward the Klingons, but we are more concerned with what graduate school Gorkon’s daughter went to, the Klingon guard who carries a box, the one Klingon who laughed at McCoy’s joke, the importance of gaseous anomalies to Federation politics, and the lack of respect given to the Enterprise court reporter. Discussing this movie must’ve been our lifelong ambition. Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Steven Schapansky, David J. Loehr, Dan Moren and John Moltz.

But of course, this is nothing more than a fictional date set in our Star Trek multiverse. That's ok, though: there's no reason why we still shouldn't celebrate it, and celebrate it we shall! Image: StarTrek.com StarTrek.com has announced that on Monday, April 5th, Paramount+ will host a virtual celebration honoring and commemorating the date with exclusive panels with cast and creatives, announcements, episode marathons, and the return of the #StarTrekUnitedGives initiative. Panels featuring guest appearances by several notable and fan-favorite Star Trek personalities will start at 12pm Pacific Time. So mark your calendars because this is NOT an event you're going to want to miss. Links to the announcement and the list of events planned for the day can be found at startrek.com/firstcontact. Funding Goes To The Journey The Star Trek: Voyager documentary on Indiegogo has become the most funded documentary crowdfunding campaign of all time, slipstreaming past the $1.1 million mark this week. And the 455 Films documentary on March 24 announced the name of the feature, To the Journey: Looking Back at Star Trek: Voyager. On their campaign page, the production team confirmed the Delta Quadrant documentary has reached all of its stretch goals, including remastering all Star Trek: Voyager footage in high definition and "an exclusive, never-before-seen Voyager surprise." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz7_9G4wxfc&feature=youtu.be 455 Films is the production team behind other recent Star Trek-related documentaries, including What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek Deep Space Nine, For the Love of Spock, and Chaos on the Bridge, a look at the first few seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Boston Celebrates Nimoy Commemorating what would have been his 90th birthday, the city of Boston has heralded March 26 as Leonard Nimoy Day. It was also announced that a 20-foot “Live Long and Prosper” statue in the shape of the Vulcan salute has been commissioned and will be placed at Boston's Museum of Science.

Accolades for Culpepper And lastly: before we wrap up the general headlines from the Star Trek multiverse, we want to take a moment to congratulate Hanelle Culpepper for winning the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series for her work on Star Trek: Picard! https://twitter.com/CBSTVStudios/status/1374551453025533952 STAR TREK GAMING NEWS by Thomas Reynolds Warriors of Legend(ary Zen Cost) Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the final frontier: Klingons! Yes, the Year of Klingon is supposedly over, but like sketchy all-you-can-eat gagh, they just keep coming back up. Now the KDF's getting the same Legendary Captain Bundle treatment the Romulans and Discovery Feds have enjoyed, boosts and all. Most of it looks the same, down to the 12,000 Zen price tag and temporary 50% discount. However buried in the contents list is the never-before-released Stasis Field Projector. This Universal Console can "severely debilitate up to 3 nearby targets with the press of just one button!" Image: Cryptic Studios. The Legendary D7 Until now getting a Tier 6 D7 required either RNGesus's blessings, or ten figures on the Exchange. Worry no more, warriors: for only 6,000-to-12,000 Zen, the KDF Captain Bundle also includes the Legendary D7 Battlecruiser! It includes the Ominous Device and Magnetometric Generator; if you've been waiting for this ship, you probably already have them. Image: Cryptic Studios. What is new is the “Shall We Not Revenge” Legendary Ship Trait. When this trait is slotted, "activating any Hull Healing Bridge Officer Ability or Intelligence Bridge Officer Ability will cause you to begin reflecting incoming damage from Energy Weapons back at your attackers as Disruptor Damage. While this reflect mode is active, additional activations of this trait will increase the percentage of reflected damage, instead of extending its duration." Finally, the Legendary D7 includes the “Gorkon's Qo'noS One” skin seen in The Undiscovered Country (pink blood splatter sold separately).

It looks like they're updating some Federation interiors to reflect the 2410's and Nick shared a few “works in progress” of Federation hallways taking advantage of that amazing lighting 2.0 they introduced a few years ago. https://twitter.com/Tumerboy/status/1374889954396971009?s=19 Tongo Where No One Has To-gone Before The Ferengi game of tongo isn't unique to STO, having been around ever since Bashir had a change of heart. However, the poker/craps/mahjong lovechild is a central framing device for one of the game's best missions. Therefore it's worth Trekking out Certifiably Ingame's 8-minute YouTube clip, explaining how to play the bafflingly capitalistic game. Or a best guess of it, since even DS9's hoo-mon writers didn't know what was happening at that table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuIzy5JfoEM

Capt. James Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew of the USS Enterprise are carrying Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner) to Earth to negotiate a peace treaty with the United Federation of Planets. The ship appears to fire on a Klingon vessel, and Gorkon is killed in the subsequent confusion. Kirk and the ship's doctor, Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley), are arrested for murder, leaving Spock (Leonard Nimoy) to figure out who is behind the attack and save the negotiations. CRY HAVOC!

Cold War Détente and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. When Nicholas Meyer returned to the Star Trek cinematic universe with Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, he produced one of the franchise’s most flagrant—and successful—examples of “ripped from the headlines” storytelling, reimagining the collapse of the USSR in space. Gorbachev became Gorkon and Chernobyl became Praxis. And, in the story’s imagined cabal, who will stop at nothing to preserve the Cold War status quo, the film tapped into an anxiety that lingered around this pivotal moment. After the “end of history,” as Francis Fukuyama memorably described it, what kind of future might lie around the corner? Would the old cold warriors still find a place for themselves in this new, as-yet-undiscovered era? In this episode of Primitive Culture, host Duncan Barrett is joined by Tony Black for a look at Fukuyama’s seminal 1989 essay “The End of History” and its influence on The Undiscovered Country. We consider some of the inherent risks—as well as the pleasures—in borrowing from current events and also ponder a tricky question: If only Nixon could go to China, does that make Kirk, who once seemed like an echo of JFK resurrected on the bridge of a starship, the heroic president’s most cynical and untrustworthy successor?

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country with Eric Nash On the next very special episode we say goodbye to The Original Crew of the USS Enterprise. Sulu, Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, Bones, Spock & Captain Kirk together for the last adventure. Can Kirk overcome his hatred of the Klingon race in order to help them survive extinction?

The final of the Star Trek films to feature the entire original cast, Star Trek VI draws many parallels to the end of the Cold War between the United States (represented here by the Federation) and the Soviet Union (the big bad Klingons). An explosion occurs on the Klingon moon known as Praxis (an allusion to the nuclear disaster of Chernobyl), which makes the Klingon race face possible extinction, as their way of life crumbles, rendering them a superpower no longer (akin to the breakup of the USSR). The crew of the Enterprise is called upon to be an escort for Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (Gorbachev wannabe) to a crucial assembly on Earth. It's hard for Kirk and co. to trust the Klingons after so many years of fighting them, so when a pair of photon torpedoes are shot into the Klingon ship and two men in Federation gear assassinate many onboard, all fingers point to the only logical culprits, the Enterprise crew. Kirk and McCoy (who tried in vain to save Gorkon) are put on trial for the disaster, leaving the remaining crew with little time to coordinate an effort to clear their names and secure their release before whatever faction responsible commits more assassinations in response to the peace process.

Diplomatic Implausibility. At the end of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Worf traded his life as a Starfleet officer for a career as a Federation diplomat. While some aspects of that life are similar to the years he spent in service to Starfleet, there are many new challenges and attitudes to overcome.

This Would Sound So Much Better in the Original Klingon Johnny and Brian continue the “monthly” reviews of all the Star Trek movies, this time out they are talking about Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country. This Trek outing seems to be part of the trend with the Nicholas Meyer directed movies, it is definitely the high note this group deserved to go out on. Summary Capt. James Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew of the USS Enterprise are carrying Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner) to Earth to negotiate a peace treaty with the United Federation of Planets. The ship appears to fire on a Klingon vessel, and Gorkon is killed in the subsequent confusion. Kirk and the ship’s doctor, Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley), are arrested for murder, leaving Spock (Leonard Nimoy) to figure out who is behind the attack and save the negotiations. Release date: December 6, 1991 Director: Nicholas Meyer Screenplay: Leonard Nimoy, Gene Roddenberry, Nicholas Meyer,Denny Martin Flinn, Mark Rosenthal, Lawrence Konner Cast William Shatner … Captain James T.

A Musical Journey to the Sadder Side of Trek. The Star Trek franchise is filled with epic heroes who overcome conflict and battles—even when the odds are stacked against them. It is a universe filled with hope and optimism in which humanity can achieve anything. Every once in a while, however, they are called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice. In this episode of Melodic Treks, host Brandon-Shea Mutala takes a look at the music that transports us to the sadder side of Star Trek, focusing on the ways in which composers honor fallen heroes.

This episode takes John D. and Gen into the neutral zone between the Klingons and the Federation in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. We are more than happy that Sulu finally got promoted to Captain of the Excelsior and are surprised that Chekov didn’t kill Gorkon. We watch as the Scooby Star Trek Gang must solve their biggest mystery yet - why the Federation keeps sending Kirk on diplomatic missions. As we go down this quest for peace, we discover that Earth literature is obligatory reading in most Klingon schools, that not every alien keeps their organs in the same place and that Romulan Ale is more and more common in the universe. We brush upon the Walking dead, the Green Lantern, Fallout New Vegas and the numerous bugs that plague it.
