When a Klingon transport is destroyed and the diaspora becomes the topic of debate at the Academy, Jay-Den Kraag faces his fear of public speaking to make a case for Klingon autonomy. But after Captain Ake reunites with a warlord from her past and Admiral Vance lets him win his charity in battle, Jay-Den begins to recognize the new brother he has in Caleb Mir.

Poor butt-headed not-Carmen! POOR RO! Season Five went non-binary, broke some Klingon backs, genetically altered, twinned imaginary friends, delivered us the cutest Klingon, fluted our Captain, and took our Whoopie back to meet Samuel Flipping Clemens!

Episode Notes Lots of war episodes... time for a wedding! Sisko has nominated Martok as supreme commander. Quark wants to know if the wedding will be at the bar. Jadzia wants the wedding before Alexander gets killed. Dax is amused by Worf's bridezilla-ing. Worf sells what the boys think is a 4 day bachelor party. You should really read Shakespeare in the original Klingon. Klingon domestic politics. Jadzia has a bachelorette party with basically everyone not at Worf's ascetic fast-fest. O'Brien Suffers [fun?]. What better place to talk about feelings than a loud and noisy party? Kira and Odo 7 hours in heaven. O'Brien and Bashir have some goofs. Klingon mythology kinda rules.

In this episode of Holodeck Divas, Stef and Chris dive into Star Trek: The Next Generation's “The Emissary” (S2E20), where a crew of Klingons wakes up after decades of cryosleep and immediately decides the Federation is still the enemy.As if that weren't enough, Worf is suddenly talking about marriage.

The House of Quark (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9), S3 E3) was recommended by Marky See He/Him, who said: I love that DS9 wasn't afraid to move beyond the stereotypes set out in earlier series, Ferengi are more than gold hungry goblins, Klingons aren't just space vikings.When this first aired in the UK, I missed all but the conclusion of this episode so on my rewatch of DS9 I was excited to see how Quark ended up married to Klingon!This episode delivers a glimpse into the not so simple world of Klingon probate whilst Quark does his best to keep his business afloat and his head on his shoulders amid shotgun weddings and quickie divorces.The House of Quark first aired on October 10, 1994, written by story by Tom Benko, teleplay by Ronald D. Moore, and directed by Les LandauQuark brags falsely about killing a Klingon, Kozak, and is then forced to marry the widow, Grilka, founding his own 'House of Quark'.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

And a Klingon. Engage!
Anika and Liz attend a four-day Klingon bachelor party -- where the feats of strength include somehow NOT developing a time machine to go back to 1997 and fight the entire DS9 writers room for Jadzia's honour. Yes, our wedding series has brought us to Star Trek: Deep Space 9's "You Are Cordially Invited", and we have ... questions. Concerns. Loud protests. And that's just Anika's cats! Both this and "Data's Day" were written by Ronald D. Moore, and we are trying not to read too much into anything This is an episode about Dax rejecting the Klingon gender binary and being punished and publicly humiliated for it, including by her friends Not a single character is changed by the events of this episode, except Jadzia, who learns an important lesson about tolerating abuse (it's good and she should do it) Complaining that there are no TNG characters at Worf's wedding is a lot more fun than talking about all the ways the script throws Jadzia under the bus … so we do both! Lieutenant Atoa, infidelity and using Polynesian people as props If Odo has this "instinct for justice", why doesn't it apply to facing consequences for his own wrongs? Giving Avery Brooks a line telling Terry Farrell to suck it up and kiss the boots of a racist, xenophobic asshole is … a choice. A REAL choice. Justice for all the Daxes (except Curzon, who is actually the reason some of the Daxes deserve justice)

Get ready — on this episode of Trek Watch, we break down the brand-new sneak preview for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, dropped at CCXP 2025 before the official premiere on January 15. We talk about what the clip reveals: the fate of the U.S.S. Athena as it comes under surprise attack, the first look at cadet life, and the ominous arrival of the villain Nus Braka — who's part Klingon, part Tellarite, and played by Paul Giamatti. We also break down the setup for the series' central themes: young cadets forging friendships, navigating rivalries and first loves, and facing a new threat to both the Academy and the Federation Is this the fresh, high-stakes take Trek needs — or is theis show jumping the shark before it begins?

"The Klepton Parasites" - Doctor Who TV Comic Strip Review (November 9, 1964 - January 11, 1965) - Christmas Patreon Exclusive TV Comic Issues 674-683 Writer & Artist: Neville Main In 1964, the BBC made television history by launching the first weekly Doctor Who comic strip in the pages of TV Comic- a surprising choice given the magazine's focus on ITV programming. This groundbreaking comic adaptation took bold creative liberties, featuring the First Doctor and his TARDIS in adventures that barely resembled the television series, introducing controversial changes including the Doctor's mysterious grandchildren John and Gillian. Join podcaster John S. Drew and acclaimed writer/editor Jim Beard for this special Christmas promotion episode as they launch their comprehensive journey through classic Doctor Who comics, celebrating the show's 60th anniversary. In this inaugural comic strip review, they analyze Neville Main's distinctive artwork style, debate the absurdly literal naming convention of the villainous Kleptons (who steal everything), examine the controversial introduction of the Doctor's grandchildren companions, and explore how these early comics diverged wildly from established TV canon during William Hartnell's era. This December, we're releasing exclusive Patreon episodes every weekday to celebrate Doctor Who's 60th anniversary and showcase the premium content available to our supporters. Experience the complete history of Doctor Who across all media formats! Subscribe to The Doctor's Beard Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, and all major podcast platforms.

Predator Badlands should've been the ninth-installment cash-grab we all politely ignore… but somehow Dan Trachtenberg cooked. In this week's Thumb War, Rachel and Jason dive into the surprisingly emotional new Predator movie that mixes Klingon-like family drama, Alien-universe corporate stupidity, exploding caterpillars, razor grass, and the most adorable digital murder-gremlin since Grogu. We get into: Predator sibling beef Elle Fanning playing two androids (one sweet, one corporate demon) Found-family wolf-pack metaphors The baby callous creature who is basically Hazel in CGI form Weyland-Yutani being idiots… again And the controversial PG-13 “Disney-fication” of Predator This one is shockingly heartfelt, visually bonkers, and absolutely primed for a sequel.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Prophecy, after decades adrift in the Delta Quadrant, a Klingon generation ship crosses paths with Voyager and finds what they've been looking for: a prophesied savior. Or rather, the unborn child of B'Elanna and Tom. Cue the ceremonial declarations, theological debates, and one very reluctant bat'leth duel. But when the Doctor uncovers a life-threatening illness among the Klingons, prophecy gives way to science, and that same baby might still be the key to salvation.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Lineage, B'Elanna and Tom get the life-changing news that they're going to be parents. But joy quickly gives way to fear as B'Elanna confronts the pain of her past: her father's abandonment, her isolation, and the shame she felt about her Klingon heritage. Convinced she's sparing her child from pain, she attempts to re-engineer her daughter's DNA without telling Tom. But where's the line between protecting your child and erasing who they are? Mission Log weighs the science, the choices, and the consequences in Lineage.
