After seven seasons and one very contested transporter accident, we welcome Voyager executive producer and co-creator of Tuvix, Ken Biller, for a wide-ranging conversation about the legacy of Star Trek: Voyager. Guest co-host Earl Green joins John to explore the creative pressures behind the series finale, the constraints of '90s television, and how a light-hearted idea about a goofy transporter mix-up became one of Trek's most morally complex debates. Also: alternate titles, unwritten sequels, and that time Ken was a Jeopardy! answer. It's a candid, thoughtful look back from someone who was there from the first season to Endgame. Hosted by John Champion and Earl Green Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time. Each week, Mission Log examines a single episode of Star Trek, diving into its ethical subtext, metaphors, and cultural significance. From the show's most iconic moments to its hidden gems, we analyze what makes Star Trek one of the greatest science fiction sagas of all time. In every episode of Mission Log we… Recap the story and analyze key moments. Discuss the morals, messages, and meanings of the dilemmas presented.

Zoe Saldaña first stepped into the role of Avatar's Neytiri when she was 24 years-old. Now, the 47 year-old is back for the third film of the James Cameron franchise Avatar: Fire and Ash. "This installment of Avatar [is about] how a family can be resilient and learn to smile and love again after experiencing great loss," Saldaña told Vogue's Deputy Editor Taylor Antrim and Global Director of Social Sam Sussman ahead of the film's release in US theatres on December 19. "I get really lost into the world of Pandora," says Saldaña about reprising her role. “I really care for the characters that I play. I create a solid backstory for them, so I live more in that reality.” It's been a big year for Saldaña. On top of Avatar, she is currently Vogue Mexico's December cover star, she won an Oscar for her role in Emilia Pérez, is currently in production for season 3 of Lioness and also met Pope Leo while in Italy with her three sons. "They were so hyper," reflects Saldaña. "They're like typical 10 and eight year olds and can't focus... And the moment comes and we're right in front of him – you can see that picture, they're gleaming."Zoe Saldaña has the distinction for being the first actor to star in four films that grossed over $2 billion at the box office. She's taken part in some of the largest franchises such as the Avengers, Avatar, Star Trek and the Pirates of the Caribbean. But now more than ever, Saldaña told Vogue that immersing herself in her personal life is the biggest priority."For a long time, I was afraid to stop," she confessed to Ramón Barreto in her cover story . "I feared that if I did, something wouldn't be right. But now, I understand that pausing is also part of the movement."The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Maman! Hey, Maman! I'm glad we caught you! I wanted to invite you to take a trip with Effie and myself to New York City of 1968. Specifically 811 East 68th Street, Apt 12B – a quite extraordinary apartment with an exceptional new tenant – Class 1 supervisor 194 – Codename: Gary Seven. He, his "cat" Isis and his secretary Roberta Lincoln will be taking over the season 2 finale of Star Trek – and while they were making it, they may have even thought it would the series finale. Crazy times call for crazy parachutes, Maman.
Happy Tuesday and Happy Holidays, Everyone! If anyone can convince me to join their Dungeons & Dragons campaign, it's Todd Stashwick.

He is also playing Palladin in the upcoming VisionQuest from creator Terry Matalas. Todd is a brilliant actor and a true nerd and we have so much fun in this conversation. We talk about how he got from doing comedy at Second City to playing killers on TV.

Plus, we tease VisionQuest and Carrie and talk about our shared love of the great Matthew Lillard.

An Alternate Episode VIII.Ten years ago, in movie theaters down the street….Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens relaunched the franchise with insane box office returns, a galaxy load of goodwill, and the promise of questions answered in the NEXT episode.

We continue our "Starfleet's Finest?" Spotlight Series with The Original Series episode "Court Martial". Our focus character for this episode is Commodore Stone who has the incredibly difficult task of being the Presiding Officer in the case of Captain Kirk versus the Enterprise's computer. Kirk's decision in the moment, which we are led to believe results in the death of a crewman, is picked a part in court due to the supposed overwhelming evidence from the computer showing the decision that he made. There's just one problem...Kirk is adamant that the computer is wrong. How does Commodore Stone handle the situation involving the Captain of the Starfleet's flagship? Is he able to stay objective in the face of uncertainty? We discuss all that and more!
What if the technology you use every single day was first imagined in science fiction?From Star Trek communicators that look suspiciously like smartphones, to AI, video calls, and self-driving cars that once lived only in novels and movies, science fiction has been predicting — and inspiring — the future for over a century.In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Zach & Jim break down 10 technologies that first appeared in classic sci-fi books, movies, and TV shows… and are now part of everyday life. We'll talk about where these ideas first appeared, when they actually became real, and how often sci-fi writers were shockingly ahead of their time.Then, to wrap things up, we look forward, discussing three technologies currently found in modern sci-fi that are most likely to become real someday. Are we closer than we think? Or should some ideas stay firmly in fiction?If you love science fiction, speculative ideas, and thoughtful nerdy discussion, this one's right in the Fantasy for the Ages wheelhouse.
This week, we open the Starfleet personnel file for Admiral Jonathan Archer, a detailed biographical memo written by Star Trek: Enterprise writer/producer Michael Sussman for the fan-favorite episode "In a Mirror, Darkly." It was only meant to be a quick background graphic, so how did it evolve into a fan-favorite bit of canon? And why did Mike sneak "President of the UFP" into the character's résumé without telling the showrunners? Larry welcomes Mike to The Trek Files to revisit the creation of this in-universe bio, share behind-the-scenes memories from the final days of Enterprise, and unpack how a throwaway idea from 2005 became the seed of a new series pitch, Star Trek: United, which imagines Archer in his presidential years. From secret nods to The West Wing, to collaborating with Andy Probert on "Space Force One," this episode is a crash course in how Trek canon can be built with equal parts creativity and chaos. Documents and additional references: Starfleet Personnel File: Archer, Jonathan The Trek Files Season 14 on Memory Alpha All episodes and documents: The Trek Files on Memory Alpha Visit the Trekland site for behind-the-scenes access and exclusive merchandise.

Making a return to the Necronomicast, a favorite of mine...Jason Offutt! Tonight we chat about his newest book "Chasing North American Monsters"! From his website: "Jason Offutt grew up on a farm near the little town of Orrick, Missouri. In his life he's been a farm hand, journalist, photographer, bartender, and the mayor of that same small town. Jason now teaches journalism at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, and keeps the world safe from the forces of evil. Okay, so now that the interview bio's out the way, here's who I really am. I'm a nerd. A Dungeons and Dragons playing, "Star Trek" watching, conspiracy theory Fanboy. "The Twilight Zone" is the greatest television program ever created, author Michael Crichton was a wizard, and I once went to a Halloween party dressed as Gilligan (my wife went as Mary Ann. Hubba hubba). As a kid I looked for Sasquatch footprints in the yard, UFOs over our farmhouse (one night my whole family saw something that shouldn't – couldn't – have been in the sky. Damn straight), and one afternoon, alone, I saw a full-bodied apparition that stared at me through hollow eyes. So, yeah. That's me. If you want to talk writing, nerd stuff, or the paranormal, send me a message. I'll try to respond as soon as possible, but if I'm on deadline, that cute kid in the picture can be kind of a dick." Jason's newest book is another page turner that is just as much fun and is as brilliant as its author! Have fun with this episode of Necronomicast!

EPISODE 648 - Chester L Richards - From The Potato to Star Trek and Beyond, Smithsonian Institution, Being A MonsterChester L. RichardsAerospace Engineer (Ret.), Inventor, Adventurer, Author, Storyteller, RomanticThe philosophy developed by Chester L. Richards, aerospace engineer, adventurer and inventor (19 patents), has indeed caused him to view all that comes his way as an adventure. Even a visit to the hospital! (Look for stories about these surprisingly entertaining forays into Deep Space Medical soon in his blog, "Stories.")That attitude took shape early. In college, a bit after those early escapes from being thoroughly roasted by The Great Potato's molten lead flinging tricks, Chester and friend Judy Burns co-authored a spec script for “Star Trek” on a lark. The story, “The Tholian Web,” became one of the series' most popular episodes. A veteran writer advised the young man, “You should write….write your passions.” “But I have nothing to say,” Chester thought. That was the moment he decided the real message was to fill his life with adventures. And he did — adventures in surfing, learning and performing music, travel to exotic places for river rafting, and his work as a rocket scientist. Along the way, he's always met fascinating characters. He did write — essays (over 50 have been published so far). At the house in Thousand Oaks he and his late beloved Sarah once shared, he brought himself back from the brink of despair by writing the hair-raising adventures Sarah loved, and that continue to occur, though as the author says, he no longer has much hair.Book: From The Potato to Star Trek and BeyondBook: The Trek Continues: More Memoirs of a Rocket Scientisthttps://www.chesterlrichards.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Türchen 15 im Discovery-Panel-Adventskalender – und wir sitzen immer noch am selben Tisch, vor demselben Spiel, mit derselben „Wir spielen das gleich, ehrlich!“-Energie. Stattdessen gibt es erst einmal das Getränk des Tages: „kalorienarm, ohne Süßstoffe, mit einem Hauch von Granatapfel und schwarzer Johannisbeere“. Klingt nach Sternenflotten-Wellness – schmeckt aber eher wie Badewasser nach einem sehr langen Schaumbad. Während wir uns durch San Pellegrino und Hubba-Bubba-Nachgeschmack kämpfen, rettet uns ein Paket aus dem Raum Düsseldorf: liebevoll mit Gaffer versehen, innen drin ein Klassiker vom Rhein – Killepitsch mit exakt 42 %. Flüssige Jacke, Hitchhiker-Zahl, Adventsmodulator. Oder wie wir sagen: Das beste Jäckchen ist ein ConJäckchen. Wir reden über: – Getränke, die besser riechen als sie schmecken – die feine Linie zwischen „Italian Sparkling Water“ und „Subraum-Badewasser“ – ein Paket aus dem Raum Düsseldorf und seine 42-prozentige Lösung – Schattenredaktion, Grinch-YouTube-Rabbitholes und Adventsprokrastination – und nebenbei natürlich über das, was da vor uns auf dem Tisch steht und immer noch nicht gespielt wird Außerdem schielen wir schon rüber zu „Ouroboros, Part 1“ aus Star Trek: Prodigy, ohne zu spoilern – aber mit ziemlich viel Vorfreude. Ihr werdet es gehört haben werden. Also: Kopfhörer auf, Getränk des Tages bereitstellen (bitte besser auswählen als wir) und mit uns das 15. Türchen öffnen.

The Wreath of Khan continues with our review of the “Star Trek: Khan” audio drama—available where you get podcasts. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
Great Video Version: https://bit.ly/48WPbYd After a very modest beginning in 1966, the original “Star Trek” TV series was canceled by NBC after only 3 seasons and 79 episodes. But it found new life in syndication and gradually became a cultural phenomenon. It went onto spawn 13 feature length movies between 1979-2016 (new one coming soon). It has also hatched 12 additional TV series (2 still running) that have collectively produced over 900 episodes (and counting). How does a TV show that lasted only half the seasons as one of its 1960's TV contemporaries, “Mister Ed”, (about a talking horse) become a - still growing - $20 billion dollar franchise? Anuradha and Thad are joined by returning guest host and “super fan” Jim Maurer to dive deep into the 60-year legacy of “Star Trek”. How did this nearly forgotten show rise from the ashes and become a surprise sleeper hit? We explore the groundbreaking nature of the show and its enduring influence on modern entertainment. We also give you some delicious scandal extras – like the first interracial kiss ever in primetime television. And the creator/showrunner, Gene Roddenberry, shagging 2 of his series' actresses simultaneously, WHILE going through a divorce. Holiday fun for all!

This week, we talk with our favorite Newspace Buccaneer, Jeffrey Manber. When so many people were touting their private spaceflight dreams in the 1980s, Manber took the next enormous stride and actually made it happen. He formed the Office of Space Commerce within the US Department of Commerce at the invitation of the Reagan administration, forged the first commercial relations with the then-Soviet Union, bridged that into the post-USSR period, and was responsible for the first commercial spaceflight to the then-mothballed Soviet-era Mir space station with a crew that stayed there for 70 days. He then went on to develop a variety of commercial space enterprises, from the first commercial platform to release smallsats from the ISS to initiating the Bishop airlock that became part of the space station. He also started Nanoracks, the first privately developed and standardized satellite deployment mechanism to fly. Finally, he initiated Starlab, the private space station currently under development by Voyager Technologies and a consortium of aerospace companies. Join us for this very special episode with one of the key founders of NewSpace!

John talks with Walker Kimberly Brandt — actress, model, spokesperson, voiceover artist, coach, speaker, entrepreneur, author of AWAKEN: Discovering Yourself Through the Light of Your Innocence, and loving wife and mom. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Intro [03:27] - God is the greatest artist [06:58] - John and Walker's daily gratitude habit [08:52] - Walker's background [09:38] - Meaning of "Discovering Yourself Through the Light of Your Innocence" [12:07] - What is pain? [14:29] - Flip how you see pain [16:17] - How Viktor Frankl and Nelson Mandela reframed pain [19:04] - Walker's favorite acting project: Star Trek [22:29] - "People can only be where they are" [24:14] - Walker's faith in God [33:27] - Outro NOTABLE QUOTES: "God's understanding is greater than our own. The wisdom is beyond what we'll ever understand." "Allow yourself to be the student of life again." "If we can remember that resilience and that incredible mastery that we are, we'd be a lot more courageous, joyful, understanding, and tolerant of one another." "Pain is temporary, and pain always comes with a silver lining. There is always something to learn." "Let's introduce the possibility that your pain might be your greatest gift, even though it may take a moment to convince what you've learned and what has influenced your life that this is something you should avoid. This is something you're not avoiding. You don't even know it's mapping out your life. It has more power than your actual choices right now." "Why not just flip it (our idea of what pain means) and allow for the possibility that that pain is temporary, meaningful, and even helpful? There is something so powerful there, because it gives you an understanding of your capacity and an understanding that you're really never completely alone, because you've got you in every circumstance. We don't want pain, but sometimes it's exactly what you need if you want to get to the next level, or levels beyond your comprehension." "People can only be where they are. When you learn something, you want to bring people with you because you know it'll be better for them, but respecting that a person is where they are, offering the information, and letting them choose is really important, because it has to be a personal choice."

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin share how they spent their Thanksgivings. The dorks then discuss the uncomfortable, and oftentimes unnecessary, icebreakers that precede team meetings. Doug shares a specific instance that happened recently and how he may have misread the room. The dorks then spend a bit of time just talking about mac & cheese…deal with it. Our hosts finally make their way to the main topic, fictional tools that would instantly be abused IRL. They cover things such as the time-turner and invisibility cloak from Harry Potter, replicator from Star Trek, and the Neuralyzer from Men in Black among other things. Things are wrapped up with a new game called Patch Notes: Real Life Edition, where Justin reads out patch notes for real life and Doug has to decide if they're good or if they should be scrapped as garbage. Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.

It’s pitch week! Anthony and Laurie are joined by Trev and Stanley from The Salon to talk about all the Star Trek TV pitches out there—but they start with an in-depth look at the brand-new clip from the first episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. They talk about Paul Giamatti’s insights into his SFA character, Nus Braka, and Robert Picardo’s confirmation on which version of The Doctor is in the show. They discuss the sentimental posts from Strange New Worlds actors as production heads towards its end, and the imminent departure of Prodigy and other Trek shows from Netflix across the globe. Then it’s time for the main topic: all the TV pitches out there for new Trek series from creatives who’ve already worked in the franchise. They break down each one—ideas from Tawny Newsome & Justin Simien, Terry Matalas, Mike Sussman, Akiva Goldsman & Henry Alonso Myers, Aaron Waltke, and Jennifer Muro—and assess its viability as a group. After that, each person makes their own pitch for a Star Trek show that is assessed by the others: Greenlight? Development deal? Hard pass? Listen to find out.
