Podcast appearances and mentions of joe menosky

In this episode of Displaced in Space, Angelina and Sam discuss "The Fight," Season 5, episode 19 of Star Trek: Voyager! This week, we pull out the world's most powerful magnifying glass to find the silver lining around this pitch black cloud. If one person likes this episode, it's whoever wrote "The Thaw"--because that may not be the worst episode of this series after all!Oh...Joe Menosky had a hand in writing both? Oof.

Latent Image (Star Trek: Voyager, S5 E11) was recommended by Tana he/they, who said: I always love when Trek does a moral dilemma episode. Sometimes they pull it off, sometimes not so great. This one is probably a mix of both to be honest.The Doctor is sentient and sapient, but he's still a program in many ways and sometimes a program when pushed so far beyond its limits breaks, but is he alive and free willed enough to push beyond that?Latent Image first aired on January 20, 1999, written by story by Eileen Connors, Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky, teleplay by Joe Menosky, and directed by Mike VejarThe Doctor finds out that some of his memories have been blocked.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

Since I'm pretty much obligated to do something in observance of the 20th anniversary of YTV's Bionix block, Sammy and I are talking about its one debut anime we haven't touched on: Witch Hunter Robin! While it's not a super interesting show on its own, it did offer a lot to chew on as part of a well-curated programming block. We also have what I believe to be an exclusive look at the canceled live action Witch Hunter Robin series, courtesy of showrunner Joe Menosky. (Seriously, he just emailed it to me out of the blue!)

Night (Star Trek: Voyager, S5 E01) was recommended by Greg (He/him), who said: Night is the first appearance of Captain Proton which gets a lot of points for me right there. But more importantly, seeing the Captain's depression and her struggling with that has been very powerful to me when I've struggled with depression. I thought about this episode a lot during Covid where we were all trapped and feeling alone and isolated, but I knew there was a lively cluster of stars and planets at the end.

The Thaw (Star Trek: Voyager, S2 E23) was recommended by Tonks Moriarty (they/them) , who said: Quite frankly, I love malevolent clowns, the idea something that is outwardly supposed to be joyous or happy is actually twisted and evil. This episode is so surreal, and strange, and weird and it isn't /afraid/ to be that. The Fear Clown establishes himself as a threat, and his interactions with Robert Picardo are fantastic. This also reinforces a very important character trait about Janeway, you don't f*** with her crew.NoWay recommended The Thaw, saying:"I honestly dont know how this episode was received and if it receive a lot of hate but for me its one of my favourites in voyager.The idea of having a computer make a interpretation of the subconscious fears and manifest them into a character sounds believable to me and that this character realizes he has to keep his hosts alive/scared to keep himself from fading away is also something that seems to fit.There are some scenes that are a bit weird though like "harry growing old and young"I love the clowns interaction with the doctor as well , first time the doc interupts him "excuse me, your are not holding that properly" and the second time where the clown remarks the doc is good and bringing a party to a hold"I also dont fully understand why janeway would program her hologram with a "haha got you" response after the people are free but it sort firs with janeway since he does like 'winning' "The Thaw first aired on April 29, 1996, written by story by Richard Gadas, teleplay by Joe Menosky, and directed by Marvin V.

Distant Origin (VOY S3 E23) was recommended by Toledo, who says:"1. The theme of "people discovering that their past is different, interesting, and complicated" is a favorite of mine2. The idea of humans finding, basically, cousins in space is really cool (and raises so many unknown questions, like "how did they get there?")3. It's one ST episode that deals with issues of religion/mythology, and shows how those are used to structure power and identity in complicated ways (as well as how folks moving to change ingrained narratives run afoul not JUST of power, but of identities)4. I recently watched the 1968 Planet of the Apes and was struck by the parallels to Distant Origin: conflicts over "doctrine," over personhood and rights, over history; but Chakotay is a much better person than Charleton Heston's character.5. It's always fun when Starfleet runs into super-powerful alien races6. For an episode that's a parable paralleling "intelligent design" vs. evolution conversations, it misunderstands evolution HILARIOUSLY. And I think that's important: you can make significant points without being accurate in every respect. (In this sense, it's like "Darmok," where the linguistics make NO sense but the emotions do.)7. DINOSAURS."Distant Origin first aired on April 30, 1997, written by Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky, and directed by David LivingstonThe 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 | Bluesky | Instagram

In an episode that felt more like Twilight Zone than Star Trek, Beverly Crusher navigates an alternate reality where the crew mysteriously disappears. I vote for not allowing your junior crewman to carry out crazy experiments aboard your flagship vessel. Join in as we unpack the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, Remember Me.

The number 47 was first introduced into Star Trek by Joe Menosky, a writer on The Next Generation. He along with other graduates from Pomona College in Claremont tout 47 to the quintessential random number. Soon the number was popping up in scripts abound and eventually leaked into the other series. Kevin, Ria, Joe, and Amy invite a few listeners to share their favorite forty-seven reference and their unpopular Trek opinion.

Prince Humperdink is a grifter! Wade is embarrassed to like this one. O'Brien and Bashir: Mango Habanero sauce. We do a lot of talking about Julian Bashir as an “unlikeable character” in the pre-Soprano's era There's a Bella Union to Quark's Swearengen's Saloon… cept no part of this slush pile script is exactly on par with Deadwood, sorry Star Trek Discovery writer Joe Menosky. SPACE RACQUETBALL. Stick around to the end to hear Wade talk trash at other podcasts and then just talk what may be gibberish.

Civilizációkat töröl ki a világmindenség téridő-szövetéből a Krenim Birodalom helyreállításán fáradozó Annorax, aki temporális végítélet fegyverét csupán személyes vesztesége miatt veti be újra és újra: míg Annorax évszázadok óta zajló hajszát vív a szeszélyesen viselkedő időfolyammal, a Voyager legénysége sosem látott módon sínyli meg a kronoton torpedók és a szakadatlan temporális-ámokfutás következményeit. Aktuális adásunk témája a Voyager ‘Pokoli év’ című duplaepizódja. Rövid hírszekció: • A következő Star Trek mozifilm kidolgozásánál Noah Hawley teljes mértékben a saját útját járja, ezért véleménye szerint "Star Trek 4" címen emlegetni a projektet félrevezető lehet. Az egyedi történet akár azt is jelentheti, hogy a produkció új szereplőkkel valósul meg. • Most már hivatalos, hogy a Star Trek: Picard 2. évada is zöld utat kapott és már tervezés alatt áll. A showrunner a 12 majom sorozatadaptációjáról ismerhető Terry Matalas - aki korábban a Voyager és Enterprise sorozatoknál is közreműködött. A Picard 1. évadánál pedig folytatódik a Facebookon nézhető aftershow, a Ready Room, aminek Wil Wheaton lesz a műsorvezetője. A kibeszélő tartalmából: • A pokoli év kifejezés, és a leamortizált Voyager (az étkezdében kialakított gyengélkedővel) az ‘Előtte és utána’ (Before and After, VOY 3x21) című epizódban mutatkozott be (melyben Kes visszafelé ugrál az időben). Brannon Bragának annyira megtetszett a leharcolt hajó, valamint a pokoli év szóhasználat, hogy mindenképpen szeretett volna egy ilyen epizódot. A társszerző Joe Menosky szerint Bragánál amúgy sem volt ritka az a fajta munkafolyamat, hogy egy epizód kidolgozásánál a konkrét történetet megelőzően először egy erős vizuális benyomás, egy kép, ugrik be neki. • Az eredeti tervek szerint Tuvok nem csupán a látását, de az egyik lábát is elvesztette volna, ez pedig egy Forrest Gump szerű számítógépes trükk segítségével valósult volna meg. Több sérülést is kitaláltak, de végül ezekre nem jutott erőforrás. • Brannon Braga eredetileg négyrészes történetet akart. Azt is eltervezte, hogy a hajó a szezon végéig maradjon lerobbanva (tehát nem lett volna reset a sztori végén). A stúdiónak és Rick Bermannak nem tetszett az ötlet. Joe Menosky nem szerette, hogy a Voyager egyszerűen csak belerongyol az időhajóba a történet végén, Annorax szövegein viszont - ahol megszemélyesíti az időt - imádott dolgozni. • Ebben az epizódban a készítők a sorozat határai között a végsőkig feszítették a húrt, a meg nem valósított elképzelések talán már a televíziós science-fiction új korszakának eljövetelére vártak.

Labilis érzelmekkel sújtott serdülő tartja rettegésben az Enterprise-t, Charlie ámokfutása a miniszoknyás hölgyeket és a cicanadrágban edző tiszteket sem kíméli. Isten és ember találkozik a tinédzserdrámában, ahol Kirk apaszerepén múlik a legénység sorsa. Charlie X az aktuális Impulzusban. Hírszekció: - Évfordulók és születésnapok: három éve távozott Spock megformálója, Leonard Nimoy, születésnapját ünnepli Barbara Luna, az eredeti sorozat Tükröm, tükröm (Mirror, mirror; 2x04) című epizódjának vendégszereplője, valamint Gates McFadden, Az új nemzedék (TNG) Crusher dokija. - Futballháború: Marina Sirtis a Tottenham Hotspur FC, Patrick Stewart viszont a Huddersfield Town FC szurkolója. A Trek rajongók vajon kinek szurkolnak jobban? - Klingon hadihajók a Discovery-ben: nem csak a klingonok megjelenése, hanem a hajóflotta is jelentős átalakításokat szenvedett el a legújabb Star Trek sorozatban. - A legendás Star Trek epizódokat jegyző Joe Menosky a Discovery stábjától az Orville csapatához nyergelt át. Seth MacFarlane sorozata egyre impozánsabb Trek háttérrel rendelkezik. A tartalomból: - Charlie, a számkivetett serdülő nehéz drámát szállít a nézőknek: Robert Walker Jr. teljes beleéléssel készült az emlékezetes vendégszerepre. - Feszülős tornanadrágok és vulkáni mellkasszőr-tilalom az eredeti sorozatban (TOS), amit mégis kizárólag William Shatner sínylett meg. - Spock mosolyog, lantozik, és Uhura dalra fakadása sem tudja kikezdeni a kőkemény logikáját. A zenei betétek egyébként a hatvanas évek nézőit sem zökkentették ki a történetből. - A hatalom és emberfeletti erő általában gyermekek és képességeikkel visszaélő személyek kezében köt ki: egy sokszor visszatérő téma a Star Trekben. - Vannak helyek, ahol nem merték közvetíteni a súlyos mondanivalót: bagatellizáló, szóviccekkel agyonterhelt szinkronverziót kaptak a németek, akik ráadásul hálaadás helyett húsvéttal találkozhattak az epizódban.

"Masks."   The season seven episode "Masks" is often seen as one of the worst episodes of The Next Generation, but it does have its fans that love its unorthodox storytelling style.  Written by Joe Menosky, who is well-known for his frequently unusual Star Trek episodes, "Masks" has a lot of layers and interpretations to explore. In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Amy Nelson and Justin Oser are joined by guest Christopher D. Littlefield to talk about The Next Generation episode "Masks." The discussion includes talking about Joe Menosky's original concept, Data as a conduit for multiple characters, how we interpret the story being told, whether the episode is actually like a video game, and much more! This is an in-depth conversation and we think you'll enjoy the discussion, whether or not you're a fan of "Masks."   Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Listener Feedback (00:01:57)  Welcome, Chris!

Star Trek’s Impossible Choices. Since the publication of William Styron’s novel Sophie’s Choice in 1979, the title has entered the cultural lexicon as a term meaning a difficult situation in which a person must choose between two equally deserving alternatives. Two Star Trek episodes-Discovery’s “Lethe” and Voyager’s “Latent Image,” both written by Joe Menosky-borrow the story’s horrifying central conceit: a mother forced to choose between her children. In Jeri Taylor’s Voyager novel Mosaic, we learn that a similarly unbearable choice early in Kathryn Janeway’s Starfleet career almost destroyed her chances at command, plunging her into deep depression. In this episode of Primitive Culture, hosts Clara Cook and Duncan Barrett consider Star Trek’s approach to impossible choices. For the men and women who want to sit in the captain’s chair, part of their training involves facing the most terrible dilemmas-sending a friend to his death to save the ship or facing the ultimate no-win scenario: the Kobayashi Maru. But are some choices just too awful for human beings to cope with? And what happens when being forced to choose makes us lose something we can never get back?

Joe Menosky Episodes.     One of the most influential figures in 24th century Star Trek, Joe Menosky wrote or co-wrote 67 episodes of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, including a number of fan favorites. Menosky was also a producer on Season 5 of The Next Generation and Seasons 3-6 of Voyager. He is currently a writer on the newest Star Trek series, Discovery.   In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Justin Oser, Richard Marquez, and Amy Nelson each pick their three favorite Joe Mensoky episodes. The hosts also discuss what our review of Menosky's episodes may reveal about his approach to writing Discovery.   Chapters  Intro (00:01:19)   Justin's Trek Story (00:02:21)   Joe Menosky (00:05:37)   Masks (00:07:13)   First Contact (00:12:10)   Darmok (00:16:31)  In Theory (00:21:14)   The Chase (00:26:34)   Nth Degree (00:31:30)   Hero Worship (00:34:43)   Suspicions (00:38:37)   Time's Arrow (00:43:23)   Emergence (00:47:17)   Clues (00:50:39)   Final Thoughts (00:52:39)   Closing (01:00:51)   Give-a-way (01:06:39)       Hosts  Richard Marquez, Justin Oser, Amy Nelson      Production  Amy Nelson (Editor and Producer) Richard Marquez (Producer) Lee Hutchison (Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Ken Tripp (Executive Producer) Norman C.

What is the secret of 47? Author David Mack returns to explain the franchise’s history with this mysterious number which dates back to TNG & Voyager writer Joe Menosky.

With the launch and recent attention of Star Trek: Deep Space 9, the writers wanted to send a message that this show, The Next Generation, was alive and well and continuing to grow. So season 5 ended with a cliffhanger to prove this point. "Time's Arrow, Part II" was Emmy nominated for outstanding sound editing and received the Emmy Award for outstanding costume design and for outstanding hairstyling for a series in 1993.   In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Richard Marquez and Amy Nelson are joined with Associate Producer Justin Oser to discuss Season 5 cliff hanger Time's Arrow Part I and season 6 opener Time's Arrow Part II. Data's story brings many issues to talk about like humanity with respect to mortality and the social make-up of the 24th century when compared to the 20th century. Yet again, Joe Menosky brings a fresh and interesting story to Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Darmok Commentary. Before joining the writing staff of Star Trek: Discovery, Joe Menosky wrote 67 episodes of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. Perhaps the most beloved of those is "Darmok." The episode, from TNG Season 5, is about Picard's attempt to communicate with the captain of an alien species which speaks only in metaphor. In this episode of Stage Nine, Mike and John record an audio commentary for "Darmok." We discuss how the episode is representative of Menosky's style, how it holds up on repeated viewings, and how awesome Picard's new jacket is.

Living Witness Commentary Running Time: 1 hour 11 minutes 22 seconds Perhaps the most acclaimed episode of Star Trek: Voyager to be written by Bryan Fuller is season four's "Living Witness." Co-written with Brannon Braga and fellow Star Trek: Discovery writer Joe Menosky, the episode tells the story of two alien cultures who resurrect the Doctor 700 years post Voyager in an attempt to piece together the cause of their centuries-old conflict. In this episode of Stage Nine, John and Mike provide an audio commentary for "Living Witness." We discuss the unique premise, the use of the Doctor as an almost secondary character, and how the themes apply to today. In news, we discuss how Discovery's setting may impact casting, and also look at Discovery's visual effects producer, William Powloski.

Our Possible Pasts with David Mack. Running Time: 51 minutes 33 seconds Star Trek fans are very familiar with the work of David Mack. In addition to writing two episodes of Deep Space Nine, Mack has also written dozens of Star Trek books and short stories. What fans may not be as familiar with is his non-Trek work. Mack has written two new original short stories, both of which are available now. “Our Possible Pasts” can be found in 2113: Stories Inspired by the Music of Rush, and “Midnight Rider” appears in Out of Tune: Book 2. In this episode of Stage Nine, John and Mike are joined by Mack for Part 1 of a two-part interview in which Mack discusses both of his stories, starting with “Our Possible Pasts.” We discuss the inspiration of music, the themes of the story, and how Mack chose to handle the ending. In news, we discuss the final two members of the Star Trek 2017’s writing staff, Aron Coleite and Joe Menosky, as well as the show’s production designer, Mark Worthington.
