Podcasts about Klingon

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?

Ever wanted to see Worf's feet? Good news, shrimpers, because they are on display in “Ethics”! That's right! It's an all-new episode of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast, and it's coming at you right about . . . NOW!We've seen Worf battle all manner of Galaxy-class opponents--from Romulans to Ferengi to Borg--but in this episode, he meets his greatest enemy! BARRELS! Giant ass barrels filled with space stuff that fall off a shelf and crush his spine! Ouch! Good thing it's the 24th century, so they can wave a glow wand at him and fix him right up. Except they can't because no one has ever bothered to heal a sick Klingon. Seems those ridge-headed nuts prefer to commit ritual suicide rather than live with any limited mobility. Worf requests Riker's assistance in the ritual, putting their friendship to the ultimate test along with Riker's cultural sensitivity. The tension gets tenser when Dr. Toby Russel comes aboard eager to test her unproven treatments regardless of the risk to her patients, even if they're named Worf, and Bev ain't having it. All this and Alexander, the most adorable Klingon, just wants to see his dad! Will Worf ever walk again? Will Riker get over himself and honor his friend's request? Will Troi ever get paid for all these hours babysitting? Find out in this all-new episode of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast!Even more available at: https://tngeez.com

“Shuttle to Kenfori” With Captain Batel facing the possibility of becoming an extra in the 1980s miniseries V, Doctor M'Benga and Spock hatch a plan (no pun intended) to save her by using a rare chimera blossom to combine the residual Gorn DNA in her body with her human DNA. The catch? That very special episode of Blossom only airs in one place, a planet once disputed by the Federation and Klingons. Captain Pike, wanting to play a role in saving his girlfriend, kicks Spock off the mission and assigns himself to accompany M'Benga. When they arrive on Kenfori, they find themselves in an episode of The Walking Dead. But escaping the zombies won't be as easy as they think, thanks to the arrival of Bytha, daughter of Klingon ambassador/mass murderer Dak'Rah, who is determined to exact vengeance on M'Benga. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “Shuttle to Kenfori.” We discuss the continuation of M'Benga's story, future paths for Batel, designing TOS-inspired Klingons, insubordination, and a few creative ideas we maybe should keep to ourselves.

Our deep dive of "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" concludes on "Enterprise Incidents" (also "The Cine-Files") with our heroes from the late Starship Enterprise getting closer to accomplishing their mission of securing two humpback whales to bring back to the future.But before then can do that, they have to save Chekov from a 20th Century hospital and also restore their deteriorating dilithium crystals. There's also the matter of beaming the whales (and the water) onto their captured Klingon vessel, traveling back to the 23rd Century and hoping that the whales can talk the Probe out of destroying all life on Earth. And if they can make it through all of that, what will become of Admiral Kirk, the Enterprise crew and Dr. Gillian Taylor?Thanks for listening, keep going boldly and see you around the galaxy!

When Captain Batel's last chance is a rare blossom from inside the restricted zone, Captain Pike and Dr. M'Benga shuttle down to a spooky garden center. But after a Klingon hunting party finds them and they fight off the flora together, only a warrior's sacrifice can get the away team back to the ship. What's bound to get old to a ghost?

This week we’re balancing Moss Zombies with Gorn Consumption as Pike and M’Benga take a “Shuttle to Kenfori!” It’s a character episode with some zombies in the background, and also one particularly grumpy Klingon. Jason looks up the Klingon word for “redshirts.” Also: Paramount finally gets bought, and there are new pictures from “Starfleet Academy!” Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Anthony and Laurie review episode 3 of Strange New Worlds‘ third season, “Shuttle to Kenfori.” They talk about the three different stories—a zombie planet expedition with Pike and M’Benga, insubordination from Ortegas, and growing Gorn issues for Batel—and how they intertwine thematically. They also dig into some nitpicks about hair, mind melds, and Klingon costumes, and discuss Pike’s character arc plus the joy of seeing Una in command. There was also some breaking news which Anthony quickly covers regarding the Skydance/Paramount merger getting final regulatory approval. Together with Laurie they will cover that in more detail in next week’s pod, along with all the news emerging from San Diego Comic-Con.

An episode that proudly waves the fandom flag!In Episode 151 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr. Angela Kingdon explores Pillar 10 of Autistic Culture: Passionate Superfanning, with special guest Simon Scott, producer of the show and host of the Neurodivergent Experience Podcast. Whether it's Doctor Who, Star Trek, My Chemical Romance, football, podcasts, or even Renaissance festivals, superfanning is more than a hobby—it's cultural identity, emotional regulation, and community-building for many autistic people.What defines this core Autistic trait?Superfanning and bonding with fictional friends hold a special place in autistic culture. Our intense special interests (SPINs), emotional depth, and fierce loyalty allow us to form meaningful, lasting connections with characters, narratives, and entire fictional universes. These connections offer comfort, inspiration, and understanding—especially when the real world feels overwhelming or isolating.Not just escapism—it's a connection.Superfanning involves more than casual enjoyment. It's about:* Genuine emotional connection* Intellectual and sensory engagement* Deep dives into lore, worldbuilding, and communityWe often collect memorabilia, memorise scripts, analyse stories, and find kindred spirits through fandom.Key Concepts* SPINs drive depth and consistency across years or decades.* Emotional regulation happens through repeated viewing, scripting, and community-building.* Characters become touchstones for identity, empathy, and storytelling fluency.* Conventions and fan spaces often feel more accessible than "real-world" social events.* Superfanning validates intense emotional investment—without apology or shame.

Ryan and Brady explore some Klingon stuff and some Spock stuff and try to remember what the hell was going on in Star Trek Discovery Season 2. Is this the most confusing Star Trek season to watch out of context... even if you've already seen the whole thing front to back?

Step into the Captain's Chair as Captains Quadrant beams up an electrifying conversation with the legendary J.G. Hertzler—the iconic actor behind Chancellor Martok from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This isn't just an interview. It's an interstellar deep-dive into the mind of one of sci-fi's most compelling figures.

Remember the last time the crew of the Enterprise lost their memories? Yeah, we don't either, but when they do, it leaves them in quite a “Conundrum.” Find out all about it in this exciting episode of ST:TNGeez . . . The Enterprise is investigating some weird subspace nonsense when they lose their memories in a flash of light. The confused crew do their best to recover while also trying to figure out why their precious computer is also borked when it comes to personal data and mission logs. They finally manage to access some personnel files and learn their names, and they're all here. Picard, Worf, Ro (yes! Ensign Ro is back, baby!), Data, Bev, Troi, MacDuff, Riker . . . Hey, wait! Who the Hell is MacDuff? Why he's second in command of the Enterprise of course, and Capt. Picard's right hand man. Good thing, too, because it seems Starfleet is in the middle of a war with a race called the Lysians, and the Enterprise is taking the point in a crucial mission that promises to end the war. It's a ship in a bottle episode and with tensions flaring, memories failing, and Rikers fucking, This bottle gonna break! Will Bev be able to help the crew regain their memories? Will anyone ask why there's a Klingon on board? Will Picard remember where he put his sweater? Even more available at: https://tngeez.com

At long last, “Enterprise Incidents with Scott & Steve” returns with a brand new episode! Actually, it's a new episode of “The Cine-Files with Steve Morris & John Rocha,” but since we're finally taking our deep dive into the most popular “Star Trek” film of all featuring the cast from “The Original Series,” it also doubles as an “Enterprise Incidents” episode too.In part one of our three-part series covering “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home,” the legendary crew of the late Starship Enterprise is on its way back to Earth in their captured Klingon vessel with the recently resurrected Captain Spock to face trial for acts of mutiny. But while en route, they receive a distress call warning all approaching vessels to stay away, due to a mysterious probe that's depleting power and wreaking havoc with extreme weather, which will soon destroy all life on the planet.Kirk, Spock and McCoy utilize the resources at hand to discover that the probe is trying to communicate with one species on Earth – specifically, humpback whales, which have been extinct for more than two centuries due to human hunting. Their only solution is to go back in time, retrieve two whales, bring them back to the future and hope that they engage the probe.And that's where the human adventure really begins!

This week Dana and Dan discuss the most intense episode Strange New Worlds so far, "Under the Cloak of War".

We continue our Spotlight Series with the conclusion Enterprise to the two part episode with "Divergence". As the Enterprise races to save Dr. Phlox, they must attempt a daring transfer of Trip from the Enterprise to Columbia at high warp in order to remove the Klingon subroutines that have infected the Enterprise's computer system.

“Invasive Procedures” 30th-anniversary reflections With the station all but abandoned due to a plasma storm, a skeleton crew of Sisko, Kira, Jadzia, Bashir, Odo, O'Brien, and Quark are easily overpowered by an unjoined Trill hell-bent on sticking the Dax symbiont in his belly. This feeble man named Verad feels that he has been condemned to a life of mediocrity because he wasn't chosen for joining. If he could only have a symbiont of his own, all would be well, and his girlfriend would especially love him.
