“Eye of the Needle” 30th-anniversary reflections The discover of a wormhole gives the Voyager crew hope that they might soon be home. But there's a catch: the wormhole is just 30 centimeters in diameter. Determined to make use of the anomaly, they figure out how to send a message in a bottle and hope for a response. The answer surprises them. Not only is it from the Alpha Quadrant, it is from a Romulan. Eventually, Janeway convinces the adversary to help them. But their hopes of being rescued are dashed by one more scientific twist. In this episode of To The Journey, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Voyager, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “Eye of the Needle,” the story's scientific underpinnings, the crew's hopes of getting home, and the unexpected twist.

Final Mission (Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), S4 E9) was recommended by Tsuyoto Wolfe (They/Them), who said: I have so many favorites I thought of recommending. But I was also inspired to find the joy in one I hadn't liked before. When Netflix started streaming Star Trek series back in 2011, I would wtch through TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT, then start over again with TNG. I would skip most of season 1 and 2, as well as a few later episodes. For my recommendation, I went back to the ones I skipped and I rewatched TNG: Final Mission. I had chocked it off as a filler episode with Wesley being annoying. But I found more in it, it a transition from Wesley fanboying over Picard, to seeing him vulnerable, to taking the responsibility for both their lives. The alien shuttle captain still feels like a thin character meant only to be fodder for Wesley's growth, but I appreciate the episode more now.Final Mission first aired on November 19, 1990, written by story by Kacey Arnold-Ince, teleplay by Kacey Arnold-Ince & Jeri Taylor, and directed by Corey AllenWesley sets off on his final mission with the Enterprise accompanied by Picard. They become stranded on a desert planet.The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook

60 years ago, a pilot for Star Trek began filming. Would it be a success, or would it fall flat and not get picked up. The answer to both is YES! This week we look back at the original series and some of our favorite moments on Enjoy Stuff! Let's look back at the beginnings of one of the most successful franchises to ever be created. Beam up for Star Trek, the Original Series. News A new Stranger Things/Dungeons & Dragons crossover comic will feature Eddie Munson There are now seven new frog species named after Star Trek captains. We have information on Star Trek: Section 31, Strange New Worlds, and Star Trek: Lower Decks We found a fun A&W commercial featuring Star Trek RIP to Star Trek co-creator Jeri Taylor and legendary actress Teri Garr Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua is trying to get through all the great things he's been enjoying the last couple months. And in the meantime he's been listening to some Christmas music. And NO! He's not ashamed of it at all. Jay has been watching a series on Peacock called The Resort. It's an interesting mystery that stars Cristin Milioti and William Jackson Harper about a couple that make some interesting finds on a resort island. Sci-Fi Saturdays This week Sci-Fi Saturdays returns. Jay examines the 2007 space movie Sunshine. The movie is about a group of astronauts that are reigniting the sun, but what's more interesting is the impressive cast. Cillian Murphy, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne, Benedict Wong, and Chris Evans are among the big names that are found in this movie that has drifted into obscurity. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. There are some new locations from Agents of SHIELD season 3. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy TV! When Gene Roddenberry was trying to get Star Trek off the ground, it took a lot of convincing of executives, the help of influential stars, and a lot of reworking of ideas, stories, and characters. They created the pilot and it wasn't quite up to the standards that would manage to get it on the air. But eventually, the classic episodes we know and love did find their way to our TVs. Much has been written about and discussed about it's legacy and influence, and we share some of the episodes that made it special to us. Brace for impact and get ready to explore Star Trek the original series. Do you enjoy the original Star Trek? Which episodes do you like?

Kommen Sie herein! Kommen Sie herein! Im Zombieland der Studienräte gibt es alles, was sich Gruselfans wünschen! Die Familie Pieler bleibt auf dunkler Niederlandstraße mit dem Wagen stecken, doch ein gelber Engel ist zur Stelle, um sie zu erretten.

Tatsächlich verstorben ist Jeri Taylor, doch hat sie zuvor ihre Seele aufgespalten und lebt nun unsterblich in einer fiktiven Galaxie fort, die nie ein Mensch zuvor gesehen hat.

fWotD Episode 2662: Kes (Star Trek) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 18 August 2024 is Kes (Star Trek).Kes is a fictional character played by Jennifer Lien on the American science fiction television show Star Trek: Voyager. The series follows the crew of the starship USS Voyager, stranded far from home and struggling to get back to Earth. Kes joins the crew in the pilot episode "Caretaker", opening an aeroponics garden and working as the medical assistant to the artificial intelligence known as the Doctor. She is a member of a telepathic alien species known as the Ocampa who have latent psychic abilities and a life span of only nine years. Her storylines focus on encouraging the Doctor to develop his humanity and dealing with her Talaxian boyfriend Neelix's jealousy. She also seeks to expand upon her mental capabilities, leaving in the fourth season after her powers threaten to destroy the ship. She reappears in a season six episode and features in Star Trek: Voyager novels and short stories. Voyager's creators Rick Berman, Michael Piller, and Jeri Taylor designed Kes to be a rapidly-aging character who would provide audiences with a different perspective on time. Although Kes is portrayed as fragile and innocent, she is also shown as having hidden strength and maturity. Voyager's producers reluctantly fired Lien after her personal issues affected her reliability on set. At the time, this was not openly discussed and her departure was attributed to other reasons; these ranged from Lien voluntarily leaving to pursue other roles to her being removed to make room for Jeri Ryan's introduction as Seven of Nine.Kes was a fan favorite character while Voyager was airing, although critics reacted more negatively, finding her boring and without a clear purpose. Lien was praised for her performance, which was highlighted in reviews of individual episodes. Kes's age was the subject of critical discussion, questioning if she was too young to be dating Neelix. Lien's removal from Voyager received mixed reviews from critics; some preferred the addition of Seven of Nine while others were disappointed by this casting change. Reviewers and fans disliked her return in the season six episode "Fury", which some media outlets called one of the worst moments in the Star Trek franchise. Academics have analyzed Kes's representation of femininity, her relationship with Captain Kathryn Janeway, and her mental abilities.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:37 UTC on Sunday, 18 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Kes (Star Trek) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Stephen.
Night Terrors (Star Trek: The Next Generation, S4 E17) was recommended by Rob MacWolf (he/him), who said: It comes so so so close to being that point where space opera crosses over into cosmic horror, but then in a rare example of the REVERSE twilight zone twist veers away at the last second.It ALMOST even invents a cosmic horror trope, now commonplace, DECADES in advance of Night in the Woods which much more widely disseminated it, the "the thing you thought was a feature of the landscape all along turns out to have been some being so unfathomably vast that you didn't see it all the while you were looking at it." But even after LOOKING like it's foreshadowing exactly that trope, the entire episode, it never does it.The scares, the slow burn of tension, and the acting all prove they COULD do cosmic horror. There's maybe reasons that have to do with the ethos and goals of star trek that explain why they don't, but as someone who loves both cosmic horror and twilight zone twists it's fascinatingly frustrating.Night Terrors first aired on March 18, 1991, written by story by Shari Goodhartz, teleplay by Pamela Douglas & Jeri Taylor, and directed by Les LandauThe Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook
In this episode of Displaced in Space, Angelina and Sam discuss "Nothing Human," Season 5, episode 8 of Star Trek: Voyager! This week, it's the best episode of the season (so far)! Torres and Paris are officially still together it seems, though there's an alien gecko coming between them. The Doctor must make some tough decisions. And Seven of Nine has, like, one scene. Thank you for your service, Jeri Taylor!
Recommended by Leah, who says:"There is some suspension of disbelief like with most episodes of this show, but I dont understand why this got so much hate! I always wanted better episodes for Beverly and Troi than their usual ‘hot alien boyfriend of the week', and this one feels different. It's not great, but it is far weirder and more fun than it has any right being! Mixing a pervy sex ghost with a story about grief clouding your judgement and making you vulnerable to those who want to take advantage of you worked quite well for me, even if it became very silly towards the end. It deserves its place as a meme, but it is too interesting to be rated as low as it is!

Alan Altshuld, From Advertising to Aliens Alan Altshuld has not done many interviews before, and even fewer about his time on Star Trek, where he performed four times in two different series. This veteran has spent considerable time in the theater and in TV commercials, along with his work on shows and movies, which I'm excited to share with you now. Alan told us about how he got discovered by Jeri Taylor to make his first Star Trek appearance in TNG, the deceptively complicated makeup job for that "Starship Mine" role, getting physical with Jonathan Frakes, and eating weird sci-fi food on "The Gambit." After TNG, we learn about his pair of "Star Trek: Voyager" credits, including crawling on his hands and knees to please his Ferengi overlords in "False Profits" and performing as a strange Catati alien in "Day of Honor" with serious makeup constraints that caused him to alter his methods. Plus, find out which major Trek role Alan was under serious consideration for! Beyond Star Trek, learn about Alan's connection to Walter Koenig through the theater world, the unique curriculum he learned early on about the practical side of being an actor along with the horrors of the infamous "NY Audition" class, some of his notable commercial roles including being a part of the Vegetarian society in a famous Little Caesar's pizza ad, his time on Baywatch being tied up with Pamela Anderson, and working with Tom Hanks in "The Money Pit" driving a Volkswagen Beetle that no one could see out of!

Trans representation in Star Trek. In 2022, trans characters in Star Trek have become part of the fabric of humanity's shared future in space. In addition to Adira and Gray Tal in Discovery, we've been treated to the villainess Captain Angel in Strange New Worlds and even an explicitly non-binary character, the Medusan Zero, in Prodigy. But a few decades ago, Star Trek's most direct engagement with trans culture was the truly toe-curling Deep Space Nine episode “Profit and Lace.” That said, a number of stories from both The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine had touched on trans issues more obliquely—in many cases unintentionally. In this episode of Primitive Culture, originally released as part of Tony Black's podcast The Sanctuary, Tony is joined by Orion Armstrong for a look at the TNG episode “The Outcast,”which was intended by writer Jeri Taylor as an allegory about gay conversion therapy but is open to very different readings today as a trans story. They also discuss TNG's “The Host,” DS9's “Rejoined,” and more. And, in a new introduction, Duncan and Tony catch up with developments since the podcast was originally released.

Star Trek: Voyager is the fifth Star Trek series. It was created by Rick Berman, Michael Piller, and Jeri Taylor, and ran on UPN, as the network's first ever series, for seven seasons in the USA, from 1995 to 2001. In some areas without local access to UPN, it was offered to independent stations through Paramount Pictures, for its first six seasons. The series is best known for its familial crew, science fiction based plots, engaging action sequences, and light humor. The writers often noted that many episodes had underlying themes and messages or were metaphors for current social issues. This is the first Star Trek series to feature a female captain in the main cast. However, Kathryn Janeway is not the first female captain. Additionally, the show gained in popularity for its storylines which frequently featured the Borg. Voyager follows the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation and ran alongside Star Trek: Deep Space Nine during its first five seasons. In this episode of the podcast, Wes and Clay give an "Introduction to Star Trek: Voyager" and explain how their coverage of the new series is going to work. Plus! The guys chat about giving up on concepts, being semi-familiar with the crew, and where to find their coverage of the second season of Star Trek: Picard. Are you looking for older episodes?

This podcast is accompanied by a video HERE to be release on the afternoon of March 25, 2021 I was beyond ecstatic to have the privilege of speaking with actor Tim Russ from the TV series Star Trek Voyager. Russ played a major role in the series, staring in all 168 episodes which aired from January 1995 to May 2001. Created by Rick Berman, Michael Piller, and Jeri Taylor, this science fiction TV series was the 5th in the series of the Star Trek franchise which was based off of the original Star Trek series from the 1960’s, created by Gene Rodenberry. Russ has appeared in over 170 acting rolls since 1985 and continues to act, produce, direct, and play music. He’s got a great voice and plays his guitar like a pro. Who knows, once we are beyond the pandemic and all of its restrictions, you might find him playing in Australia or a local joint around the corner from your house. You can find Tim Russ at: TimRussWebpage.com, on IMDB, or just google his name. I hope you enjoy listening to my conversation with Tim. He provided me with some insight and new ways of looking at things. Also, as always, thank you for your listening support.

Series co-creator Jeri Taylor ends her run in the Voyager writers room by saddling B'Elanna with a big ol' nasty space bug and saddling the rest of the crew with a big ol' nasty ethical quandary. Is a helpful holographic manifestation of a Cardassian war criminal morally distinct from a Cardassian war criminal? If good is accomplished using knowledge obtained by evil means, is the good now bad? Will somebody please chunk that gross bug puppet out the airlock? Is “Nothing Human” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

We're back for part 2 of our discussion on Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. We pick up right where we left off, with Superman surrounded by flames. There's definately a lot to talk about in this movie, which is why I split it into two parts. Let's dig deep into this fascinating movie. ----more---- Transcript Lex is conspicuously absent from his seat in the hearing. Finch finds a little message he left behind for her, referencing an earlier conversation. And then the wheelchair explodes, taking out the senate building. And Superman is distraught as he stands there, surrounded but unharmed by the flames that kill the vulnerable humans around him. At that same moment, Bruce sees the final message from Wallace. “You let your family Die.” This of course, is referencing his employees. It seems this guy not only blames superman, but he blames Bruce as well, for not protecting his workers from an alien invasion. That’s pretty unreasonable. But these words really set Bruce off. His family DID die. He watched his parents be gunned down. At this point in the story, we’re faced with a question. Did Lex hide the bomb in the wheelchair without the knowledge of Wallace, who sat in it, or was Wallace a willing martyr? This now, is the moment when the movie starts to get dark. Until now, it really hasn’t been. Superman is Helping bring survivors out of the building. It’s not much, but it’s all he can do. This explosion wasn’t his fault, but he can’t help but blame himself. He knows that someone is using him, everything he stands for, to hurt people. And that brakes him. Now here’s the one moment that does make me a little uncomfortable in the movie. Superman leaves. Are there still survivors in the building? The movie doesn’t really say at this point. If there are, and he’s abandoning them because he can’t handle the pain of this moment, then he’s being very un-Superman. But I have to believe that he’s already got all the survivors out that he can. Although a news report in a later shot seems to suggest there may still be survivors. If there’s one thing in this movie that I’d change, it would be this. I’d say that may have gone a step too far in actually having Superman abandon the suffering like this. But it shows the turmoil he’s in. I would suggest that right now he’s feeling like his help is not wanted. That it may even be inappropriate for him to be there. Haven’t you ever felt that? When someone is upset because of something you’ve done. You want to walk away because you feel like you’re the last person they’d want to comfort them. And yet, you’re wrong. They don’t want you to walk away. I know I’ve been in that situation. So I think I understand what they were trying to portray here. Having the final push he needed, Bruce steals the Kryptonite from Lex. He’s gonna do it. He’s gonna kill Superman. In true Batman tradition, he begins to plan. He readies the Kryptonite, and he strengthens his body. He’ll never be as strong as Superman, of course, but he needs every edge he can get. Superman is doubting himself. He’s doubting everything. He’s been living the life he believed his father wanted him to live. Saving people for a ghost. How arrogant to have thought he was here to do good, like some biblical prophet. A man with a destiny. How could he have thought so highly of himself. He says Superman was never real. He didn’t see the bomb because he wasn’t looking for it. Superman has come face to face with his fallibility. But worse than that, he’s come face to face with the consequences of his fallibility. He has such power, that when he makes a mistake, the consequences are huge. He can’t do that anymore. He can’t be that. People criticise this movie, saying that Superman spends the whole film brooding, but that’s supposed to be Batman’s thing. But, this is the first or maybe two scenes in the film that Superman has actually brooded, if you really want to call it that. Personally, I’d call it taking a good long look at himself, which is exactly what the dictates of story-structure demand, by the way. No, up until now, Superman has been the idealistic reporter. The complete opposite of Batman. Given all he’s going through, you can forgive the guy for losing his faith and his hope. But Lois reminds him that the symbol he wears on his chest means hope. That hope is real for a lot of people. Clark acknowledges that it stood for hope on Krypton, but he’s not convinced it does here. Not anymore. But we’ll come back to this. Now Lex puts the next step of his plan into motion. This isn’t exactly a backup plan B. It’s just another part of the complex web he’s weaving. He puts Zod’s body into the Genesis chamber, he learns that Zod was from the city of Kandor. Lex blends his own DNA with Zod’s to create a monstrosity once known, and outlawed, on Krypton. Now we get a little tease for the future of the DC extended Universe. Bruce looks at the meta-human research from the hard drive he stole from Lex. There he learns of Wonder Woman, who apparently hasn’t aged since 1918. I love how we see this photo which depicts a scene from the Wonder Woman movie, which hasn’t even come out yet. It was really cool. Lois finds proof that Wallace didn’t know he was going to die. He’d bought groceries. The wheelchair was made from the same metal as the bullet. And it was lined with lead so Superman couldn’t see the bomb. It’s all becoming even more apparent that Lex is manipulating the entire situation from the background. The world had accepted Superman, but Lex couldn’t handle that, so he’s been pushing his pieces around the board to heighten the natural fear people had of Superman’s power. Fears they had mostly put to rest. But he’s been waking them up again. So we get a nice little scene where Clark sees his dead father. He’s come to the top of a mountain, is it Everest? He needs advice, but he’s got nobody to go to. Both his father figures are dead. So his subconscious, his imagination, re-creates his dad, Jonathan Kent, the man who raised him, the man who made him what he is. Desperately hoping for some words of wisdom. Jonathan tells a story, Probably one he told Clark in the past, that he’s now remembering, of a time he worked hard to save his dad’s farm, only to realise his actions had doomed the neighbour’s farm. It was an unexpected consequence from his actions which had been nothing but good-intentioned. It’s a story Clark can relate to. Jonathan also explains how Martha helped him see there is good in this world. See, there’s a lot of positivity weaved into this movie. I don’t deny that it’s dark, although it’s nowhere near as dark as some people like to make out. But personally, I find, as others have said before, that the light shines brightest in the dark. A story needs both. If you don’t see the darkness in a story, then you don’t get to see the triumph of light. Some have referred to this movie as Grimdark. I strongly disagree. I think a much better descriptor of the genre of this film is, as I first heard E Stephen Burnett of Speculative Faith say, is Nobledark. Because ultimately, this movie shows the triumph of nobility over darkness. Alfred tries to talk Bruce out of his suicidal plan. You can’t win, not against Superman. Bruce notes that he’s older now, that his father ever was. That must be an unsettling realisation. Bruce has spent 20 years stopping criminals. But as he says, they’re like weeds. You pull one out and another takes its place. Bruce is looking for something more. He’s searching for purpose. He wants to make a lasting difference in this world. I guess you could say he’s having something of a mid-life crisis, but as Batman, he does everything bigger and more intense. As he sees it, ridding the world of Superman may be the one thing he ever does that matters. In his own way, he’s wanting to save the world. Lex pushes Lois off a building to get Superman’s attention. It’s time to put the final stage of his plan into motion. And this is where we begin to understand what this is all about. Why Lex is doing this. As a child, Lex was abused by his father. Nobody intervened. No Superman. Not God. Lex has come to the conclusion that if God is all powerful then he can’t be all good, and if he’s all good, he can’t be all powerful. You see, this is the age-old question of suffering and evil. A question that philosophers and theologians have been debating for centuries. Millennia. In fact, when Superman appears, Lex says outright, this is about the problem of evil in the world. Lex likens Superman to God, the God he feels failed to help him as a child. Lex can’t abide the idea of a heroic Superman because of his perceptions of God. Superman cannot be good, given his power. And he wants the world to see that. He wants to expose Superman as the fraud he believes him to be. This whole thing is because of Lex’s theological beliefs. Of course, Superman is not God. He is neither all powerful, nor all good. Superman has unimaginable powers, when compared to a human, but those powers have limits. Superman cannot shape the entire world to his will. He couldn’t save the people in that senate building. And he’s not all good, either. He may not be human, but he’s still a man. A man with all the frailties, and flaws that come with the package. Lex confirms that the red notes were not from Wallace. They were from him. Lex has spent two years setting this up, pushing Bruce bit by bit until he goes over the edge. Lex never intended to use that Kryptonite himself. He’s not gonna get his hands dirty like that. And frankly, he doesn’t have what it takes to defeat Superman in battle. Lex isn’t a fighter. He’s a manipulator. He wanted Bruce to use the Kryptonite. He wants Bruce to try to kill Superman. But ultimately, he wants Superman to kill Bruce. He wants Superman to be exposed as a killer. Either way, Lex wins. Either Superman is shown to be good, or powerful, but not both. And now he reveals that he’s kidnapped Clark’s mother. If Clark doesn’t kill Batman, Martha will die. Clarke and Bruce have very opposing philosophies, but it’s taken all this manipulation to make Superman and Batman fight. I think this movie makes it all very believable. So just when Clark thought he had worked through his issues, He says those words which critics of this film love to quote. “Nobody stays good in this world.” And that’s how he is honestly feeling at the moment. It doesn’t mean he is right. But he says outright to Lois, his primary intention here is to convince Batman to help him. He’s not going there to kill. He wants to find another way out of this. He’s been in this situation before. In the last movie, he was forced to kill Zod And that broke him.. He’s in a similar situation here now. He doesn’t want to have to kill again. He’s determined to find another way. Once again he’s in the position of having to choose between taking a life, or letting the innocent die. This time it’s not all the people of the world, it’s his mother, who he loves. You see, in his desperation, his words say that nobody stays good, and yet, his actions tell a different story. His actions show that he is still looking for another way. And yet, he can’t let his mother die. Meanwhile, Dianna finds an email from Bruce. He cracked the data, which she hasn’t been able to do. She sees the photo, that meant so much to her. She hasn’t seen that photo in almost a century. But he’s got more for her. We see information about other metahumans. The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg. This was all setup for Justice League, and it was a fun tease. In true Superman form, he starts by talking. “Bruce, I was wrong. Lex is--” But Bruce isn’t interested in talk. He never gives Superman the chance to explain. Clarke gives an effective demonstration of his power before saying “If I wanted it, you’d be dead already.” See, it’s hard to even call this a real battle. Because Superman doesn’t really fight Batman. He’s certainly not trying to kill him. But this is when Bruce employs the Kryptonite in gaseous form. Superman feels fear for the first time when he realises his strength is gone. Bruce makes a good point when he says Superman isn’t brave. He isn’t. He’s never had to be. Men like Bruce are brave, because they can be hurt. The fight between them is a very small piece of the movie. If this film had a failing, I’m convinced that failing was bad marketing. Possibly even the wrong title. I think a lot of people came into this movie with the wrong expectations. I think a lot of them were expecting a popcorn superhero battle. You know, the age old question, who would win in a fight. It’s a very geeky question, but ultimately pointless. So they came in for popcorn, but were served a nice steak dinner. And then they complained that the steak dinner wasn’t very good popcorn. I remember going into the cinema to see this movie. There were posters saying “Who will win.” They even had stickers, with Batman and Superman logos you could put on the poster, to predict who you thought would win. That’s not the point. That’s not what this movie is about. As long as they’re fighting, they’re both losing. So Bruce finally has Superman at his mercy. He pulls out the pre-prepared Kryptonite spear. He’s gonna use it to kill superman. He stands over him, with the deadly weapon. And says what I already discussed. “You were never a god. This is Clark’s last chance. So he forces out the words. “You’re letting him kill Martha.” And while he doesn’t know it, those are the words that are gonna really speak to Bruce. Ok. This is the most ridiculed moment in this movie. And quite unfairly in my opinion. Bruce wants to know what Clark means. Did Clark know that Bruce’s mother was also called martha? Maybe. Perhaps that’s why he says Martha, rather than “My mother.” Bruce’s whole life has been defined by the death of Martha Wayne. But Bruce couldn’t save Martha. Martha was taken from him. Lois arrives just in time to explain that Martha is Clark’s mother’s name. Now, they don’t suddenly become friends because their mothers have the same name, as the memes suggest. Bruce realises a bunch of things at this moment. First of all, this humanised Superman in his eyes. Superman has a mother. But Bruce had already acknowledged Superman’s parents earlier in the battle. But it raises an important question. Why is Superman talking about his mother? Now, at the moment of his impending death. Why ask Bruce to save Martha? He realises at this moment that there’s more going on. He realises that they’re both being manipulated. Manipulated by Lex Luthor. Superman is only here because he’s being coerced. If he kills Superman, then he becomes the thug from that ally. He kills Martha. And that cannot be. Martha cannot die. Not again. Bruce won’t be that guy. He thought he was saving the world from a monster, but now he realises that he’s just the pawn of the monster. The real monster. Bruce won’t kill martha and he sure as hell won’t do Lex Luthor’s dirty work. That’s why he drops the spear. It makes sense. It’s dramatic. It’s emotional. It’s powerful. Dare I say, it’s beautiful. And that music, we get a reprise of the music from the opening credits, where we saw the Waynes killed. I’ll say it again. Hans Zimmer and JunkieXL are absolute masters of their craft. Something is happening at the Kryptonian scout ship. Superman is needed, but his mother needs him too. And that’s when Bruce says those beautiful words. “I give you a promise, Martha won’t die tonight.” This is Bruce’s chance to finally put his demons to rest. Tonight he saves Martha. Superman makes the decision to trust Bruce to save his mother, and goes off to do what only he can. What follows is a truly epic battle as Batman takes out Luthor’s thugs to save Martha. It’s a wonderful action movie sequence. Some have criticised Batman for killing in this scene. I’m fine with it. We’ve established this is a battle-hardened Batman who has lost any idealism he may have once had. He’s here to save Martha. Nobody is gonna stand in his way. Tonight, he’s a soldier. He’ll go through anyone that stands in his way. And Batman HAS killed before in multiple media. I mentioned in my Man of Steel podcast, that in the 1989 movie, Batman murdered a minor thug while cracking a joke. I really like the moment when Bruce finally arrives and saves Martha. And then we get yet another joke. “It’s ok, I’m a friend of your son’s.” “I figured. The cape.” This was a nice little chuckle-worthy moment. This movie DOES have humour in it. So this is the next stage of Lex’s plan. After Superman had been discredited as a killer, he still needs to be taken out. Doomsday was there to actually kill him. But it makes me wonder, what was Lex’s plan for deal with Doomsday if Batman had been victorious? So let’s talk about Doomsday. He’s pretty creepy I might have preferred if he looked a little more like he did in the comics, with the spies sticking out of him, but I do like his appearance. He looks suitably hellish, . But what really makes Doomsday scary and effective as a villain? It’s not what he looks like. Doomsday brings out our deepest fears because he killed Superman in the comics. If even Superman can die, then what can possibly save us? But surely they weren’t going to do that in this movie. What a waste of doomsday to bring him in now as a last minute threat. I think that’s what a lot of us were thinking. Dianna sees what’s happening and sets off to help. So does Bruce. The president is willing to let Superman die as an innocent casualty if it means killing doomsday, but the nuke doesn’t do the job. Doomsday falls back to earth and continues his rampage, with no Superman to stop him. Enter Batman and Wonder Woman. The nuke seems to have made Doomsday even more powerful. And now he’s starting to look more like he did in the comics. Of course, Superman’s not dead either. He just needs to be recharged by the rays of Earth’s sun. We don’t see a lot of Wonder Woman in this movie, but what we do see is pretty darn awesome. Her introduction as she saved Bruce from a blast of doomsday’s heat vision is fantastic. And yet again the movie gives Lois a chance to make a significant contribution to saving the day as she tries to retrieve the kryptonite spear. There’s another humorous moment when Superman asks, about Wonder Woman, “is she with you?” And Batman replies “I thought she was with you. So then, as the music that will become the new wonder woman theme plays, we see them standing together for the first time, the trinity of DC comics. It’s such a wonderful moment. The battle that ensues is a feast for the senses. Bruce and Dianna are fighting a losing battle against this thing. They’re trying to keep it busy, but they can’t kill it, although Dianna does some significant damage,but it just grows back stronger. As soon as Clark says “I love you,” to Lois, we know what’s coming, and so does she. It’s a very emotional moment. She cries out as he flies off, grabbing the kryptonite spear. Every second he holds it, he weakens. Superman is the only one who can get close enough to stab Doomsday with the spear, but in his weakened state, he is vulnerable, and doomsday stabs him through the chest, symbolically, through the symbol that represents hope. So has doomsday destroyed our hope by taking Superman from us? This is the moment that Superman redeems himself. Superman had said earlier, that nobody stays good. Superman has proven himself wrong. He resolved the situation with Bruce without bloodshed, and now, he makes the ultimate sacrifice. He gives his life to save the world. Superman proved himself wrong. And he proved Lex wronth. I’m watching this in that cinema, and thinking, I can’t believe it. They’re really going there. They’re going to have Doomsday kill Superman! They’re actually doing it. Despite what those critics said, I think this movie is dripping with hope and nobility. I saw this movie opening night in Australia. It was Good Friday. That made this moment all the more poignant. On a day that I had been remembering the sacrificial death of Jesus, I watched the sacrificial death of Superman. It impacted me in a powerful way. It moved me deeply. We get that quick image of Steppenwolf. It’s a little confusing. Is it meant to be a hologram? I mean, he’s not actually there in the scout ship, right? Lex is captured. And he has his head shaved in jail, giving us a more classic Lex Luthor look (but let’s not forget, early versions of Lex weren’t bald, they had orange hair, just like the lex in this movie) So we see two funerales. A state funeral for Superman (clearly with no body). And a small funeral for Clark. I think it’s fitting that the body is in Smallville, with his family. It’s nice to see the minister from Man of Steel performing the ceremony. No doubt the local pastor in Smallville. Martha probably attended his church. We also see Pete Ross there. And this is a very emotional moment, as Lois sees the engagement ring Clark had intended to give her, and would have, had he not died. I got choked up when I first saw this. Bruce is a changed man. He’s been truly impacted by Superman’s example and his sacrifice. When he says “Men are still good”, it pays off that moment when Superman said “Nobody stays good.” Bruce has finally found his purpose. This last moment in the movie is filled with optimism and hope. And when you see the Superman logo with the words “If you seek his monument, look around you” it shows how Superman has inspired the words, and it proves that Superman’s symbol still stands for hope. It always will now. No, Doomsday hasn’t robbed us of our hope. That symbol stands stronger than ever before. Bruce knows there’s more danger coming from out there in the universe. He knows this from questioning Lex, who says “The bell’s already been rung, and they’re heard it.” Lex has sent some kind of message. And so he asks Dianna to help him find the other meta-humans. They’re going to need to come together and fight, if they hope to save earth from whatever is coming, now that Superman is no more. This of course, is setting up Justice League. And that very last shot as the dirt begins to move, on Clarks coffin, gives us hope, that Superman may rise again. One of the biggest issues some people have with these two films is the portrayal of Superman with flaws. It’s one of the few criticisms I give any credence to, even though I disagree with it. I have a theory as to why this bothers some people, but not others. And to explain it, I need to talk about Star Trek. Let me quote Jeri Taylor, one of the writers on TNG and Voyager. In this quote from the book Star Trek The Next Generation - The Continuing Voyager by Judith and Garfield reeves-Stevens, she is speculating on the reason for the appeal of Star Trek. “We don’t have them anymore. We have lost the traditional arenas of heroes. We don’t have gods and legends and myth anymore. We have lost sports figures as heroes--they have been proven all too human and vulnerable. We have lost politicians. We have lost movie stars. We’ve even lost royalty, who have feet of clay also. So, there doesn’t seem to be those icons, now, that are the role models, larger-than-life people who are better than we are, who are heroic, who stand for something. I think that what Gene gave us in Star Trek characters is these larger-than-life people who are committed to an ethical and moral way of life, who are not afraid to go into the wilderness and to confront the feats and terrors of the demons and dragons that are out there, who have a moral principle and a moral centre, and who will not stray from that, no matter what. Star Trek presents godlike figures for us to admire and emulate. And I think that is a need that people have deep inside them that is not being satisfied otherwise today.” I think this also explains why Superman is popular to many people. They’re looking to him to fill that same need. That’s why some fans want to keep Superman on that pedestal, and not let him have any flaws. But, I haven’t lost my god. I’m a Christian. I still believe. I have Jesus to fill that need deep inside me. I don’t look to fiction to fill that need. So I prefer flawed characters in my fiction. I still want heroes with that moral centre, but I don’t expect them to be perfect. Because none of us are. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying all atheists hate this movie, and all people of faith like it. But we all come to stories for different reasons. Not every story is going to satisfy every person’s reasons. And that’s okay. I’ve never been under any illusion that this movie is for everyone. But I’m one of the people who loved it. For me, it worked. I was in the target audience. And I for one, was very glad that Warner Bros chose to make this niche movie for people like me, rather than water it down and produce something with mass appeal. Of course, as we’ll see, as we continue through these movies, that wouldn’t continue to be their approach. But that’s another story. You can go a lot deeper into this movie than I have in this podcast episode. If you’re interested in going further down the rabbit hole, I’d like to recommend another podcast. It’s called Batman V Superman By The Minute. This podcast will spend an entire episode talking about 1 minute of the movie. It’s pretty full on. But now that I’ve recorded my thoughts, I intend to go through and binge their episodes. Should keep me busy for a while. I invite you check them out. Next time, I plan to talk about Suicide Squad. That should be a shorter episode. Catch you then.
The Outcast, Rejoined and LGBTQ Representation. For Pride month in June, Jessie Earl's Nerd Out show for Pride.com called 'Star Trek's Accidental Transgender Episode' talked about TNG Season 5's 'The Outcast', in which Will Riker falls in love with Soren, a member of the androgynous J'nai species who the Enterprise arrives to help in the potentially dangerous scientific discovery of 'null space'. Jeri Taylor's script subsequently explores pronouns, gender distinctions, trans issues and the thorny topic of conversion therapy some years before these conversations would enter the mainstream. Earl's episode gets into the positives and negatives of an episode which was never intended by Taylor to cover transgender issues and rather depict homosexuality in Star Trek for, perhaps, the first time ever. Jonathan Frakes commented at the time that by having Soren played by a woman, actress Melinda Culea, it undercut the homosexual relationship intended. With hindsight, however, 'The Outcast' appears to be ahead of the curve in the conversations around being part of the LGBTQ community that are still being debated today. Your host, Tony Black, is joined by Star Trek fans and member of the trans community, Orion Armstrong, to discuss just how has Star Trek approached LGTBQ issues and the community since the 1990's when these ideas first began to be explored within the franchise and the fandom? How do they align with the political standpoint of Gene Roddenberry's utopian future? And ultimately, is fiction's most progressive futurism progressive enough on this issue?

As we cope with a pandemic and wrestle with national and global unrest following the murder to George Floyd, actor and writer Michael Mack and I sat down to search for a little light. As the first Black Romulan in Star Trek history, Michael is a trailblazer and he’s part of a show that’s a cultural touchstone for so many of us. A show that, from its inception, dealt with racial issues in America through the metaphor of SciFi. Michael asserts that success isn’t about what you can get. You have to decide: what’s your contribution to the craft, and to the world. and then live with faith in that. In this peculiar and painful moment in American history, Michael starts by drawing parallels with now and the Civil Rights marches of 1968.Conversation and Q&A has been edited for time and clarity.We obviously talk a lot about Star Trek: The Next GenerationAnd Michael's episode: The PegasusHis mentors Jeri Taylor, Brannon Braga, Ron D MooreWorking with LeVar BurtonAnd someday, taking over for James Earl Jones as Darth Vader.On an early mentor's advice, he entered The Nicholl. He attributes part of his early success to doing well there.And he recommends the documentary What We Left Behind regarding the African American experience in Star Trek.We also touch on the seminal nuclear power movie: The China Syndrome
We visit with our least favorite writer/producer one final time as we watch "Nothing Human", which is ANOTHER 'Dr. Space Mengele' rehash. Witness as Joseph and Peter experience a peak Jeri Taylor installment as a good idea is wasted on terrible writing. Farewell Ms. Taylor, we won't miss you!

Working in the Writer's Room. From the very beginning Voyager was loaded with potential, which was sadly not used to the fullest extent onscreen. On the bright side, it left fans like Char and Tristan a plethora of untapped possibilities to explore. In fact, episode rewrites and original stories that resolve loose threads have become To the Journey staples! In this episode, Char and Tristan transport themselves to the writer's room at Paramount Studios in 1996, when Jeri Taylor was in charge of Voyager. As wunderkinds who managed to finagle their way into the writer's room, Char and Tristan have some influence in guiding the direction of the show during the third season. What sort of things do they pitch to the staff, who is likeliest to shoot them down, and just how much do they suck up to Jeri Taylor? Tune in and find out.

Voyager's Impact and Legacy. As The Next Generation ended its TV run and set sail for the silver screen in 1994, The Powers That Be™ Rick Berman, Michael Piller, and Jeri Taylor announced that a new incarnation of the Star Trek franchise would debut early in the following year. The show would take place in uncharted space and feature a starship NOT named Enterprise. And, most notably, the ship would be captained by a woman. Now, more than 20 years after the show's debut, opinions about Voyager's place in the Star Trek legacy remain mixed, just as they were when the show aired. In this episode of To The Journey, Char and Tristan examine aspects of where Voyager thrived and failed as a Star Trek series, why these things happened the way they did, and how these examples might serve as lessons for the team developing the next series set to debut in 2017. How has Voyager influenced you? How do you feel about Voyager's legacy in the Star Trek universe?

Commentary: Trek Stars: The Work of Star Trek Creators Outside of Star Trek
Taylor, Part 5: In the Heat of the Night. After the completion of Magnum, P.I., Jeri Taylor joined the writing staff for the second season of In the Heat of the Night. The show, which was based on the Oscar-winning film and novel of the same name, looks at a small town in America's deep south, where a white police chief and a black detective try to put aside their differences and work as a team. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John discuss Taylor's contribution to the show, the similarities and differences between the show and the movie, and how the show compares to its contemporary series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. We also speculate on who may or may not be directing the next Star Trek movie.

Commentary: Trek Stars: The Work of Star Trek Creators Outside of Star Trek
Taylor, Part 4: Magnum, P.I.. The three years following the cancellation of Blue Thunder were rather quiet in Jeri Taylor's career. Her sole credit was for a television movie entitled A Place to Call Home. But in 1987, Taylor returned to episodic television as a writing producer on the final season of Magnum, P.I.. In the show, Tom Selleck plays a Vietnam veteran who works as a private detective in Hawaii. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, John and Mike take a look at Taylor's third series. We discuss the elements which make Magnum a quintessential example of 1980s television, the ways in which Taylor brought her style into the show, and the variety which is demonstrated in her episodes.

Commentary: Trek Stars 108: Airwolf is Stealing Our Blue Thunder! Taylor, Part 3: Blue Thunder. After the cancellation of Quincy, M.E., Jeri Taylor began work on the writing staff of a new television series in 1984. Blue Thunder is a spinoff of a popular action film from the previous year about a high-tech police helicopter which is used to fight crime in Los Angeles. The series stared James Farentino as the lead, American football legends Dick Butkus and Bubba Smith as, essentially, themselves, and a pre-SNL Dana Carvey as the young computer-wiz. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike is joined by Tysto to look atTaylor's second television production. We discuss the 1980s TV trend of military-grade law enforcement, the bizarre casting, and the possible similarities between Blue Thunder and Star Trek: Voyager.

Taylor, Part 2: Quincy, M.E. After three years of work as a writer, Jeri Taylor was promoted to producer for the final season of Quincy, M.E.. The series, which starred Jack Klugman as a medical examiner who uses forensic medicine to solve crimes, was a precursor to shows like C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation and House, M.D.. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, John and Mike discuss Taylor's work as a writer/producer on Quincy. We discuss how Taylor shaped the final season, how she was able to put her personal stamp on the show, and what her proposed spin-off, The Cutting Edge, may have been like.

Mosaic. When it comes to Star Trek books, few fans consider them canon. It’s understandable, especially with novels written during the run of a series on television. But sometimes a book comes along that almost has to be taken as canon because of who wrote it. During Voyager’s third season, series co-creator Jeri Taylor penned the back story of Captain Janeway in Mosaic. As the creator of the character, no one was more qualified to tell us how Kathryn went from a child in Bloomington, Indiana, to captain of a starship lost in the Delta Quadrant. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher Jones are joined by Charlynn Schmiedt of To The Journey to discuss Mosaic, the portrayal of Janeway as a child, student, and young woman, what drives her to help the Ocampa and protect her crew at all costs, and, of course, Jeri Taylor’s obsession with hair. In our news segment we take a look at new blurbs for Sacraments of Fire and Seekers 3, and we judge John Jackson Miller’s Takedown by its cover.

Commentary: Trek Stars: The Work of Star Trek Creators Outside of Star Trek
Taylor, Part 1: Trek. In 1992, Michael Piller turned his attention towards his new Star Trek series, Deep Space Nine. This left a void in the Next Generation writer's room. That void was filled by Jeri Taylor. Under her guidance, the last two season of TNG produced some the best Trek of all-time, and earned the series its only Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama. On the strength of that work, Taylor was given the task of creating the next Star Trek series, Voyager, which she also ran for the first four seasons. In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, we begin a new series which looks at Taylor's work as a television writer/producer. In our first part, Mike, Max, and John are joined by Charlynn Schmiedt of To The Journey to examine Taylor's work in Trek. We discuss her first episode, her TNG highlights, her work as a showrunner on TNG, and the creation of Voyager.

Coda. Jeri Taylor wrote the book on Janeway. Literally. Two of them in fact! So it was no surprise that a third-season story about Janeway's death came from her pen. "Coda" pulls together a number of familiar Star Trek themes to explore issues of death, how it affects both the survivors and the deceased, and even throws in a Dying Swan for good measure. In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Charlynn Schmiedt, Tristan Riddell, and Suzanne Abbott to discuss Janeway's brush with death, Chakotay's outpouring of emotion, what Jeri Taylor brings to Janeway that other writers can't, and whether or not this mishmash of ideas comes together to create a satisfying whole. In our news segments we find out where the next Destination Star Trek with land, take a peek at Patrick Stewart's new TV series, learn about the latest honor for William Shatner—this time from NASA—and find out what decision almost made in 1966 could have changed the course of Star Trek.
The USS Sisyphus hosts the Vulcan ambassador Bitok on an important sumit, and a young romulan girl learns that while you can cloak a D'deridex class warbird, you can't cloak whats in your heart. Improvised 03-17-13 by a suggestion from...Jeri Taylor! Writer and producer for Star Trek:TNG and Voyager! Thanks Jeri!
Captain Janeway. Whether it was negotiating with Romulans in the middle of the night or putting Kazon bullies in their place, Captain Janeway did it all with her “compassionate badass” command style. In this week’s episode of To The Journey, hosts Charlynn Schmiedt, Tristan Riddell, and Lorrie Sears talk in-depth about Voyager’s captain, including first impressions of Kathryn Janeway, Jeri Taylor’s novel Mosaic, and favorite Janeway moments. And, of course, we talk about Captain Janeway’s addiction to coffee.
Resolutions. The relationship between Janeway and Chakotay was filled with emotional and sexual tension—or at least promise—from the start. And Voyager fans waited patiently through the first two seasons to find out if the writers would actually go anywhere with it. In the next-to-last episode of the second season, the one person who should have been able to resolve the issue penned a story with the promising title “Resolutions.” But the real question is whether or not the show was capable of delving into the issue on a meaningful level. In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Charlynn Schmiedt and Lorrie Sears to discuss “Resolutions” and find out if Jeri Taylor hit the mark as Kathy and Coco shack up on the love planet. In news we focus on the 25th anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation with a whole gaggle of stories about the TNG cast and their missions. And we hope you like primates, because this week we're all about the monkey. So hop in and let's go. Allons-y!!!
Worst Case Scenario. When Rick Berman, Michael Piller, and Jeri Taylor set out to create the third live-action Star Trek spinoff they were faced with an enormous challenge. The franchise had become so weighted down by more than two decades of stories that it was difficult to find a new way to approach things, and Gene Roddenberry's no-conflict rule was proving more and more difficult for the writers. Throwing the ship to the other side of the galaxy was one way of starting over with new worlds to explore and new aliens to encounter. But in addition to this an effort was made to break the shackles of the no-conflict rule by forcing Starfleet officers to co-exist with outsiders—the rebel Maquis. It was a good idea in theory, though the success of the approach is certainly questionable. In this episode of The Ready Room we discuss the third-season Voyager episode “Worst Case Scenario” and how the Starfleet-Maquis relationship played out in reality. In news we cover Nichelle Nichols's 79th birthday, Avery Brooks and Sir Patrick Stewart confirmations for Creation's 2012 conventions, IDW's Star Trek Ongoing #4, clues about the next movie that have been hidden in the comics, and we preview two more tracks off of Five Year Mission's Year Two. Plus Greg sings in Klingon and an unexpected musical guest pops in.
