TrekCore is excited to announce the launch of a second podcast to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Star Trek – Warp Factor 5: A Star Trek Rewatch Podcast. Launching alongside our longrunning WeeklyTrek news podcast, every two weeks on Thursdays host Alex Perry will be joined by a guest to discuss and rate the next five episodes of Star Trek in in-universe chronological order beginning with Star Trek: Enterprise and traveling forward from there. In each episode, Alex and his guest will discuss and rate five episodes of Star Trek, and then pick from across those five episodes the Best Series Regular Performance, Best Guest Performance, Best Production Design Element, Best Quiet Moment, and Best Loud Moment. They'll also discuss how these five episodes contribute to the larger Star Trek narrative across more than 900 episodes, and share memories of the first time they watched the episodes – was it live on UPN? BBC 2? WPIX Channel 11? Sky One? CIC VHS tapes? DVD? Netflix? Paramount+? There are two things that make Warp Factor 5 distinct from most Star Trek rewatch podcasts: discussing five episodes at a time, and moving through the franchise in in-universe chronological order. Examining five episodes at a time gives space to compare episodes in blocks, examining in greater detail differences in character and themes. And beginning with Enterprise and moving in in-universe chronological order gives a new way to enjoy the Star Trek story, as an inter-connected narrative spanning 60 years of real history and over one thousand years of narrative history.  The show will begin with Enterprise, followed by Discovery's first two seasons, Strange New Worlds, Star Trek, The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Lower Decks, Prodigy, Picard, Discovery's last three seasons, and Starfleet Academy. Where will the Kelvin Timeline movies fall? What about the Short Treks? The TNG movies? How will you handle the period during the 1990s when two Star Trek shows were on at once? You'll just have to listen to find out! This is a rewatch podcast, and we'll be discussing full spoilers for past and future Star Trek as we make our way through the shows. But you don't have to be a Star Trek expert to enjoy Warp Factor 5. Each episode discussion will include a synopsis of the episode we're talking about to jog your memory, with plenty of audio clips from the episodes so you can hear for yourself the moments that are being discussed. If you've always had the desire (like Alex has!) to rate every episode of Star Trek and figure out which episodes are your favorites (or least favorite!), we hope you'll join us at home, watch the episodes with us, and submit your ratings. Also make sure to let us know your picks for Best Series Regular, Best Guest Performance, Best Production Design Element, Best Quiet Moment, and Best Loud Moment! Alex will be gathering all the ratings and feedback received and at the end of each season will have a special episode discussing feedback and the final definitive ranking of that season's episodes.  Warp Factor Five is available now on all your podcast platforms so make sure to subscribe to ensure that you don't miss an episode. The first episode of the show, covering the Star Trek: Enterprise season one episodes "Broken Bow," "Fight or Flight," "Strange New World," "Unexpected," and "Terra Nova," will debut on Thursday, June 18.

This week on Geekstorians, we're boldly going into one of the strangest survival stories in geek culture: Star Trek, the franchise that has been cancelled, revived, mismanaged, overextended, rebooted, and pushed through nearly every major shift in modern entertainment.Born in 1966, cancelled in 1969, and kept alive by fans who refused to accept that decision, Star Trek became something far bigger than a struggling network sci-fi show. It became a constituency. A culture. A future people wanted to believe in.Dave traces the franchise from NBC's infamous letter-writing campaign and the death-slot third season, through Lucille Ball's unexpected role in getting the original series made, the rise of conventions and syndication, the expensive chaos of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and the leaner, sharper rescue mission of The Wrath of Khan.Then it's into The Next Generation, first-run syndication, Roddenberry's complicated legacy, the rocky early years, the franchise boom of Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise, the Kelvin timeline films, and the streaming era of Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy and Strange New Worlds.Because Star Trek doesn't survive because it is well run.It survives because the idea underneath it is too good to kill.Geekstorians is the Webby-nominated documentary-style podcast from Geektown, exploring the strange, messy, brilliant history of geek culture.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

Fissure Quest (Star Trek: Lower Decks, S7 E9) was recommended by nazzy (she/her), who said: This episode is, of course, hugely (and rightfully) beloved by Garashir fans for finally making the long standing subtextual relationship between Julian Bashir and Elim Garak text. But in case you hadn't noticed from the vast majority of my recommendations to you boys, I am a massive fan of Enterprise, with a special place in my heart for the character of T'Pol, and her relationship with Trip Tucker. So for me, this episode is incredibly special, both for bringing back Jolene Blalock as T'Pol, and allowing her to have had a successful, decades-long marriage to Trip. I KNEW those crazy kids could make it work if they had a chance, and Lower Decks finally gave it to them!It's also just a really good episode, bringing Lower Decks into its satisfying but unfortunately premature end. One of the things I love best about Lower Decks is how unashamed it is to be and love all things Trek, which makes it a perfect fit for your pod!Fissure Quest first aired on December 12, 2024, written by Lauren McGuire, and directed by Brandon WilliamsThe 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

What if Star Trek had spun off into a full-blown sitcom starring Lwaxana Troi? To kick off Season 15 of The Trek Files, Larry Nemecek welcomes actor, writer, comedian, and Star Trek: Lower Decks star Tawny Newsome for a deep dive into an early-1990s pitch centered on Majel Barrett Roddenberry's Betazoid ambassador. The document up for discussion is a never-produced sitcom concept built around Lwaxana Troi; equal parts fish-out-of-water comedy, family chaos, and larger-than-life Trek energy. Together, Larry and Tawny unpack why the pitch feels both very of-its-time and strangely ahead of its time, especially now that Star Trek comedy has found new life through projects like Lower Decks. As someone who has not only starred in Trek comedy but also developed her own comedic Trek ideas, Tawny brings a unique perspective to the conversation: what makes sci-fi comedy work and how Gene Roddenberry's world always had room for humor alongside the philosophy and adventure. It's a fascinating look at a road not taken in Star Trek history and a reminder that sometimes the weirdest ideas in the archive are the most revealing. Documents and additional references ca. 1992 sitcom pitch centered on Lwaxana Troi and a proposed Star Trek comedy spinoff Guest: Tawny Newsome Reference: Lwaxana Troi Additional reference: Star Trek: Lower Decks The Trek Files Season 15 on Memory Alpha All episodes and documents: The Trek Files on Memory Alpha Visit the Trekland site for behind-the-scenes access and exclusive merchandise.

Por fin tenemos en el programa al gran Jordi Vilella, presentador de nuestro podcast fetiche de Star Trek ‘Expulsando el núcleo'. Junto a él, a partir de las 2h del programa, revisamos el magnífico episodio ‘Lower Decks', base del aclamado spin-off cómico en forma de serie animada del mismo nombre. En este episodio, nuestros héroes habituales pasan a un segundo plano y dejan el protagonismo a los alférez que aspiran a ascender de rango y lo dan todo por conseguirlo. Un episodio experimental que ofrece un excelente resultado, y que inspiró a otro gran episodio de Babylon 5 de temática similar. A parte del invitado, este episodio tiene otra sorpresa, un estupendo cross-over con la celebración de los 200 episodios de ‘Tertulia Trekkie'. Entre el minuto 52 y 1h45m nos colamos en su programa y disfrutamos de una trektulia junto a Fernando, Javier, Antonio, Jorge, y también Julio de ‘PodTrek', Kim de ‘Remeras Rojas', Marc de ‘Star Trek en català', Fran de ‘Los misterios del gusano', y el Almirante Stargazer de ‘Torpedo Rojo'. Si no habéis escuchado su programa completo, parad máquinas y descargadlo a velocidad de curvatura.

Episode 12: The Trial Series What does a dishonorable discharge look like in Starfleet? Why is Star Trek obsessed with romantic partners being part of trials? How did Batel know that Una was an Illyrian? How were La'an and M'Benga able to lie on the stand? Where does this rank with the other trial episodes in Trek? Join Ashlyn, Rhianna, and Chris Garis as we discuss the only Trial episode in Strange New Worlds. This is the twelfth episode of our Trial Series, where Ashlyn and Rhianna talk about the Trial episodes of every Star Trek show.

Smash bang! Here we get a look at the ensigns looking to move up the ranks of Starship Enterprise. That's right - it all starts here with amazing characters, some of which we've seen before like Sito Jaxa and Alyssa Ogawa, as well as new characters Sam Lavelle, Ben the bartender, and the vulcan Taurik. Jaxa and Lavelle are both up for a promotion to Ops, and while Riker has it out for Lavelle, Worf is mentoring Jaxa with some made up taichi stuff. Because, you see, the political machinations don't stop when we're playing poker on the Lower Decks. Cardassians are beamed aboard, and Jaxa has a special mission due to her Bajoran heritage which results in... Well. Tears. *sniff* This one is damn good, y'all.   Please send us any thoughts on the series to LetsReEngage@gmail.com or on Bluesky, Greg's social media of choice.

I, Excretus (Star Trek: Lower Decks, S2 E8) was recommended by Chief Engineer Greg, who said: Going mildly mad with power, I wanted to suggest an episode myself.The first time I saw a Lower Decks cosplay, it was a Boimler and a Shaxs together. I had just started watching the show and conventions were beginning to come back in the post-Covid environment. And seeing a Boimler covered in Borg babies was such a delight to see. Lower Decks is the show made of deep cuts to obscure bits of Star Trek lore (Borg Maturation chambers) and also send up of the Franchise. This show is steeped in love for how silly the franchise is, while never getting jaded about it, and even fighting against the more jaded elements you can see when you get too close.This is an episode that openly admits to the workaholism of the Federation and uses it to great effect. It causes the trainer to break down because everyone gets perfect scores, yet Boimler's striving for that perfection. To paraphrase Homer Simpson, "Workahol. The cause of, and solution to, all life's problems."I, Excretus first aired on September 30, 2021, written by Ann Kim, and directed by Kim ArndtA consultant arrives on the U.S.S.

Red shirts might be one of the biggest pop-cultural tropes given to us by Star Trek, but what does it mean, in-universe and out, the first of our two part look actually gives us both as Miles describes the IDW miniseries ‘Star Trek: Red Shirts' to Charlie and neither can hide their dissatisfaction while following up with a brief discussion of the John Scalzi novel ‘Redshirts.' Next episode, we'll actually be talking about episodes of Star Trek which feature examples of Red Shirts themselves. DISCLAIMER: NO RED SHIRTS WERE WORN DURING THE RECORDING OF THIS PODCAST!
SHOW NOTES: ‘Star Trek: Red Shirts' (16:25) and John Scalzi's ‘Redshirts' (01:02:26)

TALKING POINTS: Miles has to carry nitroglycerin in case his heart stops and he finds that metal, The Legend of Luther Arkwright, Star Trek Voyager: Across the Universe, it makes a weird sense that Spock and Worf would be mates, Star Trek: Defiant is a much better comic, Lower Decks' potential cynicism is canceled out by Tendi being a goddamn delight, Strikeforce Moritori, Avengers Arena and the Battle Royale manga, this might be the one Star Trek ‘thing' that convinces Miles that Section 31 should exist, making meta-jokes and parodies canonical to the universe is not always a good idea, why send these losers on a covert mission? Miles uses the term ‘Cronenberged' and hates himself for it, uncertain tonal shifts, Miles and Charlie try and thrash out what they think would be a better treatment of the same material, John Scalzi's types of novels, the differences and similarities between Red Shirts and Redshirts (aside from the space), Charlie is very happy John Scalzi didn't appear in his own novel, what happens to Redshirts after the episode is over? A Doctor Who reference to please Miles, that very 2012 feeling of the book, how post-modern self-awareness can sometimes get irritiating, if you approach every situation like you're actually in a horror movie- get help, Stargate Universe was underrated, Space Scamps III is inevitable.

What do you say about a colony on an alien world that tries to be Scotland but is actually just a setting for misogynistic gaslighting, or, perhaps, ghost-lighting? I don't know. We're workshopping that one. Just like the writers were with this script. Hey-o! Beverly Crusher's grandmother passes away and at the funeral is a fetching lad. That lad starts to seduce Beverly through the power of journal-writing and candles, then turns her against the rest of the crew trying to get her to come to her senses. Picard finally does it, but then Beverly fires a new phaser setting to rescue herself from having to moan on camera anymore. It's ... messy.   Please send us any thoughts on the series to LetsReEngage@gmail.com or on Bluesky, Greg's social media of choice.

In the second, Dr. Migleemo's world proves to be a seven-course headache for the Cerritos crew! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Greg Cox: Identity Theft.     Pavel Chekov is a reminder that some Star Trek characters do their most interesting growing just outside the spotlight. Known for his youthful enthusiasm, sharp wit, and loyalty to the Enterprise, much of Chekov's development is implied rather than shown on screen. That makes tie-in novels an ideal space to explore characters like him in greater depth, filling in the moments between episodes and missions. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Casey Pettitt and Jonathan Koan are joined once again by author Greg Cox to discuss his new Original Series novel, Identity Theft. Mostly taking place in the movie-era, we finally get Chekov in the spotlight.
