A short TrekRanks update for our listeners, as we release our first-ever supplemental episode to keep everyone up-to-date on the latest with TrekRanks. After seven years and a long, fruitful relationship with our friends at The Tricorder Transmissions Podcast Network, the TrekRanks Podcast is finally going independent as of Sept. 1, 2024. (This has nothing to do with the Bell Riots, we swear!) This quick update from host Jim Moorhouse will keep you informed on the reasons behind the decision and the logistics that went into it. For now, you really don't need to do anything if you already follow us, as all of our followers are being redirected from Tricorder, but, of course, if that link ever went away (something we don't anticipate happening), you would need to refollow us again. Anyway, 190 episodes down, and plenty more exciting topics coming up, as well as some new fresh content from TrekRanks as we approach episode 200. More on that to come in the next couple of months. Thanks for all of your support through the years. We love nothing more than talking about all the things we love about Star Trek with you. Don't forget to check out TrekRanks.com for our entire back catalog of episodes and a detailed rundown on every episode of Star Trek ever.

It's cited by many fans as one of their least favorite Star Trek movies, but is it really that bad? When Star Trek V: The Final Frontier hit theaters in 1989, it was on the heels of the wildly successful fourth movie that had a wide appeal. Expectations and anticipation were high, but the movie left fans feeling somewhat disappointed. We'll take a look at some of the challenges this movie had to overcome.  We'll also look closely at the things that work extremely well in this movie and why the movie might be a lot better than people think. Our feelings just might have changed about this movie in the 31 years since it was released, and we can't wait to tell you why. Joining us to look at this movie is New York Times bestselling author and friend of the show, Dayton Ward! It's a conversation we hope you'll enjoy and, we promise, no fan dancing. FIVE YEAR MISSION The music of Trek Geeks comes from none other than Five Year Mission and Episode 16 of Five Year Mission: The Podcast is available now!

Some episodes of Star Trek are just so epic, they can't be contained to a mere hour of television. The precedent started in 1966 with Star Trek's, "The Menagerie," and it's a format that occurred all the way up through Star Trek: Enterprise: the two-part episode! Sometimes they're a cliffhanger to give us something to anticipate over the summer hiatus and, other times, they're stories that happen mid-season. In any case, there are things to love about all of them and we'll dive into some of that this week. Joining us to talk about some legendary two-parters are Patreon producers Christina Werther and Chris Tribuzio! It's a fun discussion that we hope you'll enjoy. Plus, like the topic at hand, it takes more than an hour to talk about this fantastic topic!
