Star Trek. The final frontier. These are the podcasts of three enthusiastic nerds. In “Arena,” Star Trek: The Original Series delivers one of its most iconic moments: Captain Kirk squaring off against the Gorn. The fight is equal parts legendary and unintentionally hilarious. A.Ron and Jim honor its place in Trek history, while Talitha calls out Strange New Worlds for recycling the premise.

In dieser Episode unseres Star Trek-Podcasts widmen wir uns dem packenden Staffelfinale der zweiten Staffel von „Strange New Worlds“. Gemeinsam mit meinen Co-Moderatoren Arne und Frank tauchen wir in die fesselnden und facettenreichen Erlebnisse der Episode ein, die nicht nur für Spannung sorgt, sondern auch tiefgreifende ethische Dilemmata aufwirft. Während wir die dramatischen Entwicklungen und die Charakterinteraktionen analysieren, spüren wir die Vorfreude und den Nervenkitzel, der mit jeder neuen Wendung der Geschichte einhergeht. Wir beginnen mit einem Rückblick auf die letzte Episode, wo die bedrohlichen Gorn eine herausragende Rolle spielen. Arne liefert eine spannende Zusammenfassung, die uns auf die bevorstehenden Konflikte vorbereitet, während die Crew der USS Cayuga auf dem Planeten Parnassus Beta in eine bedrohliche Lage gerät. Die Anspannung wächst, als die Funkverbindung abbricht und ein Gorn-Schiff plötzlich erscheint. Wir diskutieren die Entscheidungen, die Captain Pike und seine Crew auf Leben und Tod treffen müssen, und wie diese Herausforderungen die Dynamik innerhalb der Gruppe beeinflussen. Der Fokus liegt auch auf den komplexen Beziehungen zwischen den Charakteren, insbesondere der zwischen Spock und Nurse Chapel. Während wir uns durch die emotionalen Höhen und Tiefen der Episode bewegen, unterstreichen diese Interaktionen die menschlichen Werte, die das Star Trek-Universum besonders machen. Wir freuen uns über humorvolle Momente aus der Tiefe der Spannungen – sei es in Referenzen zu 80er-Jahre Buddy-Movies oder humorvollen Gesprächen über Zombiefilme, die die Charaktere in ihrer angespannteren Realität erden. Wir beleuchten die Rolle von La'an, die sich als mutige Kämpferin zeigt, und ihre militärischen Fähigkeiten in der Konfrontation mit den Gorn einbringt. Durch ihre Erzählungen lernen wir die Gorn besser kennen und erkennen, dass sie mehr sind als nur brutale Monster – sie haben eine strategische Komplexität, die unseren Blick auf sie herausfordert. Der Auftritt von Scotty bringt zusätzliche Leichtigkeit und Charmante Dynamik in die Handlung und zeigt, dass Humor auch in den düstersten Momenten nicht verloren geht. Das Staffelfinale funktioniert nicht nur als spannende Erzählung, sondern lädt auch zur Reflexion über die moralischen Entscheidungen der Charaktere ein. Wir diskutieren die schwerwiegenden Themen, die angesprochen werden, und wie sie die Zuschauer zum Nachdenken anregen. Besonders eindringlich wirken die Szenen im Diner, wo die Crew auf Überlebende trifft und die Vergänglichkeit des Lebens thematisiert wird. Hier wird die seelische Belastung deutlich, die mit solchen Katastrophen verbunden ist, und gibt den Zuschauern Einblicke in das Verhalten und die Psyche der Charaktere. Am Ende der Folge werden wir mit vielen offenen Fragen zurückgelassen, die die Vorfreude auf die nächste Staffel wecken. Unsere Diskussion über das finale Ereignis schließt mit der Überlegung, welche Herausforderungen und Abenteuer in der unendlichen Weite des Weltraums noch auf uns warten. Diese Episode bietet eine gelungene Mischung aus Spannung, Humor und der tiefgreifenden Erkundung der menschlichen Natur – und ich freue mich darauf, dass unsere Zuhörer uns auf dieser Reise begleiten.

This week we're diving into Starfleet's creepiest corners! Where tribbles multiply faster than your ex's bad decisions, and the Gorn make every away mission feel like Predator with phasers. From salt vampires to evil exxon oil spills, we're counting down the monsters that made us scream, laugh, and question the Federation's HR policies. So grab your tricorder, dim the lights, and prepare for a transporter malfunction straight into the Monster Mash of the Final Frontier. It's spooky, it's slimy, it's Star Trek at its weirdest...and we love it.

Analitzem a fons la tercera temporada de Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, que s'ha fet esperar, però ha valgut la pena. Comencem amb una visió global de la temporada: les noves incorporacions al càsting, com Martin Quinn en el paper de Scotty, l'evolució dels guions i els constants salts de gènere que han convertit la sèrie en una de les propostes més fresques de la saga. Després, entrem capítol a capítol: el cliffhanger amb els Gorn, l'arribada de Korby, la nova relació amorosa de Spock, la construcció del Kirk canònic i els primers passos de la seva amistat amb Spock, els homenatges, els episodis de comèdia i la trama continuada de Pike i la capitana Batel. Un viatge galàctic amb sorpreses, emoció i moments que connecten amb la història clàssica de Star Trek. Ens acompanyen l'Ignasi Arbat, la Marta Sanz i en Sergi Toboso. Hit it!

Star Trek: The Original Series, Series 1, Episode 18. First broadcast on Thursday 19 January 1967. Stardate: 3045.6. Gornfest 2025 continues this week on Untitled Star Trek Project, as we head back to 1967 — when the Gorn were just a single rubber lizard in a spangly minidress and the Federation was barely a glint in Gene L. Coon's eye. Iconic, memorable and visually striking — this is why nerds still podcast about the show 58½ years later.

The third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was an incredible mix of big swings and rotating genres that now receives the TrekRanks treatment with our patented breakdown of the “Top 5 Strange New Worlds Season 3 Moments.” You can rest assured that our expert panel of Jim Moorhouse, Sam Nelson and Amy Arrant loved this season's mélange of interesting styles and commentaries, and they cover it all with a range of picks including everything from Gorn body horror to Trelane the Wedding Planner to those pesky Metrons. Episode Rundown: Diagnostic Cycle: We break down the five distinct categories we use in our season recap shows. In order, this week's panelists reveal their picks in the following categories: Production Design, Behind-the-Scenes Creative, Dabo Round Wildcard, Character and Episode! Prime Directive: Our crew breaks down exactly how they defined their lists. The Order of Things: Everyone reveals their picks with the usual “Five word Summary and a Hashtag,” along with one episode that helps frame their choice. Secondary Systems: Our guests each rattle off a few additional selections for the picks that just missed our lists! Regeneration Cycle: Everyone recaps their picks and we discuss some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion. Temporal Inversion: We flashback to a previous episode of TrekRanks and relay some of the feedback received from listeners. If you have your own picks you would like to relay to us, please hail us at 757-828-RANK (7265) and record your own personal TrekRanks log to let us know your Top 5 Strange New Worlds Season 3 Moments. (Or you can record it yourself and just DM us @TrekRanks.com on Bluesky.)

In this review of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Episode 9, "Terrarium," we explore a classic Star Trek-inspired narrative that deeply challenges our understanding of survival as Ortegas faces being stranded with a Gorn. We delve into Ortegas's surprising bond with the Gorn, Uhura's critical yet controversial decisions, the Metrons' appearance and their assessment of humanity, and numerous Trekkie easter eggs including references to Captain Matt Decker. As a spiritual remake and prequel to "Arena," "Terrarium" delivers the heart and understanding synonymous with Star Trek while maintaining its unique identity. #Terrarium #TheEnemy #Darmok #Arena #Dawn

We dive into “Terrarium,” the Ortegas-focused chapter of Strange New Worlds Season 3, where survival comes not through vengeance but through connection with a Gorn pilot—reshaping both character and canon in Trek's tradition of empathy and continuity cleanup.

Anika and Liz get sucked into a wormhole and trapped on a moon orbiting a gas giant, which is actually pretty standard when you're adults with jobs trying to organise a board game night. We're discussing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, season 3, episode 9, "Terrarium", an episode which comes so close to being good before it snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.  "We're going to give you the stories you've been asking for since season 1, and then we're gonna end it with a twist that makes it all totally meaningless! Hurray!" Good news, Akiva Goldsman finally watched "Arena"! Next question, did he, um, understand it?  Anika has notes on Metron experiment design The AUDACITY of SNW criticising the Gorn for ableism This was an opportunity to let Uhura become a more complex and flawed character, but unfortunately Pike is bad at his job (and so are the writers) Is La'an actually psychologically fit for starship duty?  Why are we making fun of Spock's weight? Why is this whole season so dedicated to bullying Spock?  Endangering 4,000 people including children: that's the Christopher Pike way But seriously, why does Uhura have sole responsibility for this problem? Why is Pike setting her up to fail? 

Can empathy with a Gorn change Trek's future? Dom Bettinelli, Jimmy Akin, and Fr. Jason Tyler unpack “Terrarium”—Metrons, La'an's shot, and Ortegas' trauma—plus fiery feedback on Trek comedy.

Divert power to cliché, snarky one-liners, maman! Even in the face of death, and with no one listening, it's time to get in an old yuk-yuk! But ain't nobody laughing at the end, maman. It goes from tragic story to a tragic couple of missteps in franchise continuity! What are they doing, maman? Episode Reviewed: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x09 - "Terrarium" Hosts:David C.

Ortegas quickly discovers that a female Gorn pilot is also stranded, but the Gorn saves and protects Ortegas from the moon's dangers. Initially wary due to her traumatic experiences with the Gorn, Ortegas befriends the pilot and discovers that they are not so dissimilar—the two work together to find a way off the moon. At the same time, the Enterprise must soon rendezvous with the Constellation,[c] so Uhura lies about some data to get Pike to take the ship through the wormhole in search of Ortegas. Ortegas and the Gorn ignite the moon's atmosphere, signaling the Enterprise, but La'An kills the Gorn, mistaking her for an enemy. A Metron appears to Ortegas, explaining that they had brought the two together to see if peace between humans and Gorn was possible. Because of La'An's violent reaction, the Metron erases Ortegas' memories of their meeting, planning to study the situation further in the future.[d] Back on the ship, Ortegas mourns her new friend.Trekcast: The Galaxy's Most Unpredictable Star Trek Podcast!Welcome to Trekcast, the galaxy's most unpredictable Star Trek podcast!

Strange New Worlds: Season 3 It's time to beam back on board the Enterprise as we check back in on Strange New Worlds for season 3 of their 5 year mission… We have had musical episodes, Cartoon crossovers and classic characters aplenty, so now we are 3 seasons deep, are they still boldly going? Or have they taken the wrong turn at Tau-ceti? The entire bridge crew is on board for this review, with Captain Dion scraping klingons off the starboard bow, Science office Peta stoically raising a quizzical eyebrow, First officer Jill recovering from an Away Mission in Rockhampton and Red-Shirt Quinny dodging death at every turn.

This week on Trek Tuesday, we dive into one of the most provocative episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3—“What Is Starfleet?”—with special guest Mynor Luken, who plays Beto Ortegas, the civilian documentarian aboard the Enterprise.

After almost two full years, Strange New Worlds is finally back and we're jumping straight into the action with the highly anticipated Season 3 premiere, “Hegemony, Part 2.” This week, we're breaking it all down in real time, just hours after the episode drops. Pike and the Enterprise crew are back and there's no easing back into this one. We'll be digging into all the fallout from last season's cliffhanger, exploring how the show handled the return to the Gorn conflict and whether the emotional stakes lived up to the build-up. Did Pike make the right call? Was the rescue worth the cost? And what does this episode signal for the rest of the season? We've definitely got thoughts. Of course, it wouldn't be Trek Geeks without some hot takes, speculation, and your live comments fueling the chaos. This is a *spoiler-filled* discussion, so if you haven't seen the episode yet, maybe warp out and come back after. But if you have watched, grab a drink, fire up the viewscreen, and join us as we kick off another season of SNW with the passion only Trek Geeks can deliver.

Okay, lets you and him fight! In shameless pursuit of ‘brand synergy,' this episode of Casual Trek celebrates the return of Strange New Worlds to our streaming services by doing an episode about those lizardy bastards Kirk fought once at those rocks from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, the Gorn! In ‘Arena,' Kirk fights a string vest wearing space lizard while Spock watches and provides inane commentary (hey Spock-o, that's OUR job) and then in the Strange New Worlds Season 2 finale and Season 3 opener ‘Hegemony Parts 1 and 2' Pike spends more time hiding and less time building rudimentary cannons, Spock and Chapel play a little Alien Isolation and Ortegas loses herself in the job… Bogus. Episodes discussed: Arena (07:20) and Hegemony Parts 1 and 2 (38:27)Talking Points include: American Family Reunions, Donkey Kong Bananza, young Tom Jones is weird looking and The Monkees are great, Oh no not another Godlike being, Vasquez Rocks, everyone got tinnitus making this episode, Charlie's time as a scout, Miles has a legitimate reason to bring up ‘Blake's 7,' they tried to build the cannon on Mythbusters… it did not go well, we're not Trying That in a Small Town but we finally listen to The Mountain Goats for the show! Pike's brief moment of religious crisis is weird, Strange New Worlds' making the Gorn so monstrous clashes with how it went down in ‘Arena', Alien Isolation, the nature of ‘Good' and ‘Evil' members of various Star Trek races and how the idea the Gorn might be biologically evil might not be a great look for Trek.

“Through the Lens of Time” Nurse Chapel's new beau, Doctor Roger Korby, pays a visit to the Enterprise to get help with a dig on Vadia IX, a planet that's home to the descendants of an ancient, highly advanced civilization believed to have been capable of traveling across multiple galaxies and to have discovered immortality. The mission quickly takes a dangerous turn when the landing party becomes trapped inside a temple—or is it a prison? The structure and technology are clearly ancient and advanced, but uncovering their mysteries won't be easy. The team finds itself split up, trapped in different rooms—or maybe planes of existence. But they can still talk to each other and must put their noggins together and romantic tension aside to escape. Meanwhile, back on the ship, a lizard fight has broken out in sickbay. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “Through the Lens of Time.” We discuss the mystery and its film inspirations, AI, flying cameras, and the Q, Vezda, and Gorn.

When Ensign Gamble joins his first dustbuster club, he picks up a grenade and gets an emergency trip back to sicksbay. But after the rest of the team solves the escape room puzzle, Captain Batel goes Gorn on Gamble's ghost and Pelia opts for maximum drama. What's the only thing more embarrassing than being a documentary filmmaker? Who got a macaron for going poopoo in the potty? Why didn't Chapel do bits on blood magic? It's the episode that adds to the list of going concerns.Support the production of Greatest TrekGet a thing at podshop.biz!Sign up for our mailing list!Greatest Trek is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaFriends of DeSoto for: Labor | Democracy | JusticeDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Facebook | X | Instagram | TikTok | Mastodon | Bluesky | ThreadsAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.social

Not all red shirts wear red! (But some do!) This episode has a lot of death, an alien mystery, some questionable archaeology, a reversal of cause and effect, and multi-dimensional layering. In other words: It’s Star Trek! Also, Jason passes on a wild theory about Batel’s new Gorn-chimera lifestyle. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Should Starfleet risk war to save Earth colonists outside its borders? Pike faces impossible orders, Scotty doubts himself, and Dom Bettinelli, Jimmy Akin, and Fr. Jason Tyler debate morality, canon, and faith in a tense Gorn standoff.

“Shuttle to Kenfori” With Captain Batel facing the possibility of becoming an extra in the 1980s miniseries V, Doctor M'Benga and Spock hatch a plan (no pun intended) to save her by using a rare chimera blossom to combine the residual Gorn DNA in her body with her human DNA. The catch? That very special episode of Blossom only airs in one place, a planet once disputed by the Federation and Klingons. Captain Pike, wanting to play a role in saving his girlfriend, kicks Spock off the mission and assigns himself to accompany M'Benga. When they arrive on Kenfori, they find themselves in an episode of The Walking Dead. But escaping the zombies won't be as easy as they think, thanks to the arrival of Bytha, daughter of Klingon ambassador/mass murderer Dak'Rah, who is determined to exact vengeance on M'Benga. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “Shuttle to Kenfori.” We discuss the continuation of M'Benga's story, future paths for Batel, designing TOS-inspired Klingons, insubordination, and a few creative ideas we maybe should keep to ourselves.

When Captain Batel's last chance is a rare blossom from inside the restricted zone, Captain Pike and Dr. M'Benga shuttle down to a spooky garden center. But after a Klingon hunting party finds them and they fight off the flora together, only a warrior's sacrifice can get the away team back to the ship. What's bound to get old to a ghost? Why do Klingons hate flowers? How is Dr. M'Benga like the Raisin Bran sun?

When Captain Pike is frozen in his battle armor, the Entrepreneur's only means of escape is ramming speed. But after dangling on a cliff for almost two years, Captain Batel's backside undergoes an emergency babality. Why do we remember Valeo Beta V? What does the Gorn feeding chamber not have?

Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is on us like a swarm of Gorn on digestion chamber intruders. There's lots of good stuff including the some impressive action sequences, a healthy dose of Treknobabble, and a well-acted tearjerker of a scene.
