Star Trek: The Next Generation: "First Contact" We come in peace! Author Chris Farnell (Star Trek: Lower Decks Crew Handbook, Fermi's Progress) gets beamed up with us to talk about this perspective flip on the usual Star Trek formula -- a story that positions our Enterprise crew as mysterious space invaders to a planet that has never met aliens. We get into the flaws of the Federation's first contact procedures and how this story is just “a day at the office” for them, and how the episode quickly builds a familiar alien culture we can sympathize with. No, this isn't about the movie of the same name, but yes...it's that Bebe Neuwirth scene!Find all of Chris's great work at chrisfarnell.comA proud part of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tip us on Ko-Fi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gimmicks Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gimmickspodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"Disco Tears" by Raven⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons Attribution 3.0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources: ⁠Chris's Den of Geek Article: “Why Has Sci-Fi TV Stopped Imagining Our Future?” Memory Alpha

The Latest Generation
Redux - The One with the Space Hippies

The Latest Generation

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 5, 2024 11:24


This was one of the first episodes I put out here, and I'm a little surprised I haven't redone it yet.  The Star Trek (Original Series) episode The Way to Eden is REALLY the one with the space hippies. It's one of the most generally disliked episodes, because of how over-the-top it goes in an attempt to be up-to-date and hip and with-it.  But on reviewing from a generational perspective ( and about 50 years after broadcast) it isn't as horrible as it might have looked.  I originally called it "Synthococcus Novae" after a fictional bacterium that's a sub-plot in the episod, and I started thinking of it while watching the recent increase in COVID during the summer, and hearing people talk about how they were affected (and how their kids were affected) by COVID in the year 2020 and 2021 ================ A look at how the GI generation (born 1901-1924) viewed the Boomers (born 1943-1960) as shown in the Star Trek Original Series episode "The Way to Eden" - also known as "The One with the Space Hippies."  By extension, this suggests how Hero generations, including Millennials (born 1982-~2005) along with the GIs, view Prophet generations (like the Boomers). Originally started from how people view cleanliness today and how it is likely similar to how people saw it during World War II. It all ties together. Attributes of the Prophet and Hero archetypes come from Generations (1991), the Peer Personalities chart on p. 365. I use them in my Stories blog (stories.generationalize.com) where I've found them an effective way to identify different generations/archetypes. Did you know that Skip Homeier, the actor who played Dr. Sevrin,  also played Melakon, the villain in the episode "Patterns of Force" (aka "The One With the Nazis")?    Shout-out to Memory Alpha, which had additional useful information about the timing of when the episode was written: http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/The_Way_to_Eden_(episode)

This is largely a circle jerk where Dean, Nathan, and Brian goof on the episode in a attempt to make each other laugh. This works best if you sync up the episode with them. As the plot will be impossible to decipher with these idiots talking over the episode, it can best be summarized as this: Three survivors from a race that died half a million years ago "borrow" the bodies of Enterprise crew members so they can build android bodies (thank you Memory Alpha) with big, chainsaw hands.

Enterprise Incidents with Scott & Steve

While en route to the Federation's galactic research station on Memory Alpha, the Enterprise encounters a mysterious space anomaly that impacts each of the crew members in different ways -- especially Lt. Mira Romaine, who passes out from the experience. That's of particular concern to Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott, who has fallen head over heels in love with her. Turns out these lights are the last remaining survivors of an ancient race, and they have chosen Lt. Romaine's body to live out the rest of their lives. After the one-two punch of weaker episodes like "Whom Gods Destroy" and (especially) "The Mark of Gideon," "The Lights of Zetar" represents something of a return to form for "Star Trek," at least by late 3rd season standards. The pacing is relatively brisk, and the impressive visual effects still hold up after more than 5 decades. "The Lights of Zetar" still suffers from lapses in logic, and Scotty once again loses all sense of control by thinking with his heart instead of his head, but it still qualifies as an entertaining-enough episode of "Star Trek."

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode The Lights of Zetar, which aired on January 31, 1969, and occurred on Star Date 5725.3. On its way to the Memory Alpha planetoid, the storehouse of all Federation's cultural history and scientific knowledge, sensors detect a strange storm. The storm travels at a speed of Warp 2.6, indicating that it cannot be a natural phenomenon. The storm heads right for the Enterprise, penetrating the shield and attacking different brain centers of different crew members. Lt. Mira Romaine, aboard to oversee transmission of data newly gathered by the Enterprise to Memory Alpha, seems the hardest hit. The storm then heads for shieldless Memory Alpha, killing all those aboard and burning out the central memory core. Mira beamed and warned everyone to return to the Enterprise because the storm was returning. Scans from the Enterprise confirm this, and the landing party returns to the ship. To rid Mira of the alien influence before the aliens attack again, Kirk rushes her to a gravity/pressure chamber. The aliens attack too soon, however, and Mira becomes completely possessed. Speaking through Mira, the aliens identify themselves as the last survivors of the planet Zetar. They have had to discard their bodies and have been searching for a millennium for one such as Mira's in which they can live out their lives. Before Mira's consciousness can be completely subjugated, Scotty puts her in the pressure chamber. Here, the aliens are killed, and Mira is freed.

So he started swinging his leg over the tops of chairs to sit down. Look this up on YouTube if you haven't seen it. There's a hilarious viral compilation video. Frakes' back injury is also the reason for the famous “Riker Lean.” Frakes also thought it would be a hilarious and cocky thing for his character to do, and when no one called him out on it, he continued to do it. In his words: "That started in Ten Forward because the backs of the chairs were so low, it was easy. And then I thought, this is really a hotdog, @$$hole thing to do. Nobody's going to let me do this. And then nobody stopped me! It's such a cocky, unattractive, kind of bad cowboy move… Whoever did the YouTube compilation of Riker sits down, it went viral and was even more embarrassing, and made me strangely even more proud."Strange New Worlds premieres on Paramount Plus on May 5th!!The redshirts in this episode have indeed been featured in a well-circulated meme but Sarah is correct when she points out that several of the “red shirts” in this episode are wearing yellow. Here's a link to the meme: https://ifunny.co/meme/kirk-spock-mccoy-and-ensign-ricky-are-beaming-down-to-x6x7hHnu5According to Memory Alpha, a fairly comprehensive online Star Trek wiki, the Metron at the end of the episode was played by Carole Shelyne and voiced by Vic Perrin. I couldn't confirm that the Metron on the ship intercom's is also voiced by Perrin so that remains an unanswered question.From Wikipedia's entry on the Prime Directive: “The first filmed reference to the Prime Directive occurs in the first season TOS episode "The Return of the Archons" (1966), when Spock begins to caution Captain Kirk of the starship Enterprise when he proposes to destroy a computer controlling an entire civilization.”The aliens I couldn't think of, who brokered peace between humans and Klingons were the Organians. The treaty is called the Treaty of Organia or the Organian Peace Treaty. The episode is TOS 1:27, “Errand of Mercy.”The book Grace recommends is The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker

Welcome to Star Trek Reviews by Haven Studios.Today we will review The Original Series episode, The Man Trap, which first aired in Canada before anywhere else in the world. The Canadian TV station CTV on the 6th of September 1966, two days before it aired on American TV stations, on the 8th of September 1966, a day now celebrated annually with Star Trek Day.  For those who are curious, this is the first episode review I am doing since the passing of Nichelle Nichols, and it hasn't aired yet, but by the time this episode is released, my friends over at Strange New Pod have done a very special tribute episode live on their Twitch channel with a special guest David from Promenade Merchants Podcast to remember together Nichelle Nichols, her inspiration and her impact in our lives. I personally hope you are able to listen to it, and as I record this, I look forward to hearing the show myself, as I do each and every week.   The website “Memory Alpha” summary is surprisingly short, with only a single sentence “A mysterious creature stalks the Enterprise, murdering crew members.”I thought I had seen this episode before my recent watch for this episode of the podcast, but surprisingly I actually hadn't seen it, although I had heard about the Salt Vampires many many times over the years as a Star Trek fan. My thoughts on this episode. This episode actually was really good up until the last few moments of the episode. If you have listened to past episodes, you would know I do my rating after I talk about it, but I am changing that because honestly for the first 49 minutes of the episode I would rate this a 8 maybe even a 8.5 but the scene at the end with Kirk, Bones and Nancy, where Kirk is offering the salt tablets, actually struck a nerve with me. I have never publicly said this, and this may change people's opinion of me, but I used to be a major drug addict, I won't go into details, but this scene really did change my opinion of the episode quite dramatically. I loved the episode but that one scene had me real salty, and unfortunately that will drop my rating down to a 6 as it made me remember how bad addictions are. But i won't allow a single scene to truly affect my overall rating too harshly, I will give this episode a 7.5. Looking up the IMDB rating, it is 7.2 with 4978 people voting on it, as of 2nd of August 2022. I want to give a huge shoutout to an amazing friend of the podcasts, Joe, you can find him on Twitter using the username DeckLower, he has been such a loyal supporter.You can find us on TikTok and Twitter using the username HavenStudiosPod.On Friday we will continue our TOS watch series with CharlieX.

So we realized there are 855 episodes of Star Trek, and if we did only 1 episode a week, it would be December 2038 before we got to watch the Season 1 finale of Strange New Worlds. So we have chosen that we will upload new episodes every Monday and Friday, and any two-parter episodes such as The Menagerie which is coming up soon, will be done as a single episode. For those who are watching this on TikTok, I may split it up on TikTok as two separate videos but you will be able to see the full episode over on YouTube, as well as download it on any major platform. The website “Memory Alpha” summary is “An encounter at the limits of our galaxy begins to change Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell and threatens the future of the Enterprise and the Human race itself.”Unlike when we watched The Cage, I was unable to do a rewatch with Strange New Pod, due to my work schedule and we had done a rewatch of Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country the night before recording this, as a tribute to the passing of David Warner, who played Gorkon in that film. My thoughts on this episode. This episode was that it was not nearly as good of a pilot especially compared to The Cage, I actually think that I would much rather watch The Cage over this episode, I don't know if it was truly the 60s feel to the show, but also I have not really enjoyed The Original Series as much as modern shows. It was still a good episode of Star Trek but not as strong of an episode. As a rating, I would rate this episode a 6, it had good parts to the show but also had much to be improved on. The official IMDB rating for Where No Man has Gone before, as of July 27st 2022, is 7.7 with 5544 viewers rating it. We still have not received any feedback but we would love it if you would a mailbag reply.

Welcome to the Star Trek review by Haven Studios.Today we will review the pilot episode of Star Trek, also known as The Cage, which didn't air on Canadian or American airwaves until 1988 but was filmed back in 1964.The website “Memory Alpha” summary is “While investigating a distress call from Talos IV, Captain Christopher Pike of the starship Enterprise is captured and tested by beings who can project powerfully realistic illusions.”We recently watched this episode with a group of friends over on the Strange New Pod discord as part of a frequent watch-along where we pick a random episode at length to chat about while we watch the episode. We highly recommend if you don't listen to Strange New Pod, go check them out over on YouTube for past episodes or come join them live on Twitch every Thursday. My thoughts on this episode. This episode was a good pilot, it probably wasn't my favorite pilot of Star Trek, but it was still good, I do see the potential in the show, you can tell there was a lot that was left to be desired but also, I don't think we would have 56 years of Star Trek if Jeffery Hunter was kept as the lead actor in the show. When I watched this in the watch along over on the Strange New Pod discord, NY Raleigh had the same idea about the show failing if Hunter had stayed on the show. As a rating, I would rate this episode a 7, it had good parts to the show but also had much to be improved on. The official IMDB rating for The Cage, as of July 21st 2022, is 7.6 with 6169 viewers rating it. I rated this episode prior to looking up the rating so I feel like I was in good company for how I would rate the show.As this episode is our first official episode we don't have any feedback yet for the show, but I would love to hear your feedback. If we only have one or two we will read them on the show, but if we end up getting a lot, we will do dedicated episodes just for feedback.

After a wonderful intro by The Duras Sisters podcast's Rhianna & Ashlyn, I beam aboard Dan Leckie, the former brainiac editor behind the Star Trek wikia Memory Alpha! Discussed tonight are the prequel spin-offs to the on-going Gene Roddenberry franchise: Enterprise, which is 100 years before The Original Series, and Discovery, which is set exactly 10 years before the original show that started it all! Which show is the superior outing? Why do all Star Trek shows have a rough landing the first year before they find their voice? Is Enterprise almost as good as Deep Space 9 at showing how militarized Starfleet could be pre-transporters and shielded spaceships? Does Discovery get only hated on by the internet trolls who never realized that the Trek saga was filled to the brim with progressive messages? Why can't most realize that just about all of Trek is apples and oranges despite it seemingly having a far more civil fanbase than Star Wars? Are either of these too different from the Trek formula and more Die Hard/Aliens/The Thing at times or just as Star Wars-like as the J.J. Abrams reboots? And more hard deep diving than the last few Trek based outings!   MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/  SHOW LINKS: YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/ Podbean: https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218 RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9hNDYyOTdjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz Anchor:  https://anchor.fm/s/a46297c/podcast/rss PocketCasts: https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4 CastBox:  https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222

After poking around the Memory Alpha wiki, we stumbled on to the Star Trek Is... document that Gene Roddenberry used to pitch Star Trek. Reading through, it seemed like good episode fodder, because it touched on some stuff that Jeremy wanted to talk about when he first pitched the show to Chris. Since this is the document that basically sets up the entire franchise, it's still relevant, even for a Captain Pike heavy show.

TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds Paramount+, Essentially By Elio Lleo ViacomCBS continues to try luring in more subscribers, by offering up new pricing tiers and teasing a slate of new content coming out over the summer. First up: the new “low-cost” option for US subscribers, starting at $4.99. This “Essential Plan” is ad-supported, including some sports and on-demand options. However, it will no longer include local live television station programming. I swear every one of those stars is an asterisk. Image: ViacomCBS, via Deadline. Keep in mind if you already have the limited commercial plan, you won't lose any features…however, that plan will no longer be offered to new subscribers. The “Premium Plan” will cost US subscribers $9.99 a month, is commercial-free with on demand entertainment (including 4K titles), more sports, and live streaming of local stations. Trek's Prodigious New Talent By Elio Lleo On Monday, June 14, ViacomCBS dropped the cast list for Star Trek: Prodigy–the first animated show specifically geared towards children [no, TAS wasn't written for kids; we've explored that in our Patreon exclusive podcast: After Hours -Ed.]. The six main voices joining Kate Mulgrew have been announced including Jason Mantzoukas–who you might recognize from shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The League, and as the voice of the foul-mouthed Rex Splode on the Amazon animated series Invincible. Variety also shared the details about the characters including some species names, character backgrounds, and some first-look images. Aren't you a little young for nebula coffee? Image: ViacomCBS, via Variety. Romijn Charts Out Strange New Worlds By Cat Hough In a recent interview with Looper.com, Rebecca Romijn confirms what we have long suspected regarding the format and episodic nature of Strange New Worlds. She said, "it's in keeping with the original series — they're standalone episodes. It's a little bit lighter. We are visiting planets. We are visiting colonies, and we are so proud of our work so far." The show will cover ten years of missions on the Enterprise (no bloody A, B, C, or D) with Captain Pike, before Kirk takes the helm. Romijn plays first officer Number One, originally played by Majel Barrett.  Whatever you've hiding, Mr. Spock, I hope you brought enough to share. Image: ViacomCBS, via Looper. No release date has yet been announced for Strange New Worlds, other than it's expected some time in 2022. But it appears that filming may be coming to a close. Romijn told Looper she was able to catch a break in filming episode seven of ten for Strange New Worlds in order to promote her new film, the safari thriller Endangered Species.  Bills To Pay in Lower Decks Season 2 By Rosko McQueen It's the question that can foster debate, cause rifts in friendships, or spark outrage on social media: what's your favorite episode of Star Trek? Mike McMahon, the creator of Lower Decks was asked exactly this by the folks at IGN. Thanks to his breadth of knowledge, he had an answer for each series, while also throwing out some teasers for Lower Decks season 2.  "Shades of Gray," Mariner? Really? Image: ViacomCBS, via IGN. Mike spoke about the structure of Star Trek, and the nature of standalone episodes that add to the depth of the characters–but not in a way that the audience needs a refresh at the start of each new episode. What that means for Season 2 of Lower Decks is we have the setup of the first 10 episodes. So where to from here?  “These last three episodes created this crescendo of, ‘Look, this is what the show is. Let's go. And we keep that up. How does Mariner feel about Boimler taking off? How is Boimler doing on the Titan? So, [we're] still doing standalone, still episodes that feel episodic, but the characters don't forget. We haven't forgotten what we've said [in] Season 1.” That leads us to our first community question this week:    What are the bills you want to see paid in Lower Decks (and Picard) seasons two? Let us know in the comment section for this episode at priorityonepodcast.com or by replying to our community question post on our social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds Mudd's Multiversal Market Madness By Shane Hoover It looks like Harcourt Fenton Mudd has reared his profiteering head once again in the Star Trek Online C-Store. From June 10 through June 24, players who have about $150 burning a hole in their pockets can purchase the new Into Darkness and Beyond Choice Pack. Like previous Mudd's Choice Packs, you can choose three out of eight options including ships, upgrade tokens, C-Store coupons, or master keys. Oh shut up, Dwight. Image: ViacomCBS, via CNET. But if you wanted to buy them all...well, Cryptic has another purchase option, the MEGA Into Darkness and Beyond Bundle. That's right: for the eye-watering regular price of $600 you can purchase every one of the eight choices offered! But act fast–it's only $300, or 50% off, until June 24th.  That leads us to our next community question this week:    What are your thoughts on the Mudd's Market Into Darkness bundle? Did you purchase it–and if so, which options did you decide on? Fleet Command Searches For The Next Generation By Elio Lleo Star Trek Fleet Command has dropped the second part of its Star Trek: The Next Generation arc with Section Patch 31.

TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds Paramount+, Essentially By Elio Lleo ViacomCBS continues to try luring in more subscribers, by offering up new pricing tiers and teasing a slate of new content coming out over the summer. First up: the new “low-cost” option for US subscribers, starting at $4.99. This “Essential Plan” is ad-supported, including some sports and on-demand options. However, it will no longer include local live television station programming. I swear every one of those stars is an asterisk. Image: ViacomCBS, via Deadline. Keep in mind if you already have the limited commercial plan, you won't lose any features…however, that plan will no longer be offered to new subscribers. The “Premium Plan” will cost US subscribers $9.99 a month, is commercial-free with on demand entertainment (including 4K titles), more sports, and live streaming of local stations. Trek's Prodigious New Talent By Elio Lleo On Monday, June 14, ViacomCBS dropped the cast list for Star Trek: Prodigy–the first animated show specifically geared towards children [no, TAS wasn't written for kids; we've explored that in our Patreon exclusive podcast: After Hours -Ed.]. The six main voices joining Kate Mulgrew have been announced including Jason Mantzoukas–who you might recognize from shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The League, and as the voice of the foul-mouthed Rex Splode on the Amazon animated series Invincible. Variety also shared the details about the characters including some species names, character backgrounds, and some first-look images. Aren't you a little young for nebula coffee? Image: ViacomCBS, via Variety. Romijn Charts Out Strange New Worlds By Cat Hough In a recent interview with Looper.com, Rebecca Romijn confirms what we have long suspected regarding the format and episodic nature of Strange New Worlds. She said, "it's in keeping with the original series — they're standalone episodes. It's a little bit lighter. We are visiting planets. We are visiting colonies, and we are so proud of our work so far." The show will cover ten years of missions on the Enterprise (no bloody A, B, C, or D) with Captain Pike, before Kirk takes the helm. Romijn plays first officer Number One, originally played by Majel Barrett.  Whatever you've hiding, Mr. Spock, I hope you brought enough to share. Image: ViacomCBS, via Looper. No release date has yet been announced for Strange New Worlds, other than it's expected some time in 2022. But it appears that filming may be coming to a close. Romijn told Looper she was able to catch a break in filming episode seven of ten for Strange New Worlds in order to promote her new film, the safari thriller Endangered Species.  Bills To Pay in Lower Decks Season 2 By Rosko McQueen It's the question that can foster debate, cause rifts in friendships, or spark outrage on social media: what's your favorite episode of Star Trek? Mike McMahon, the creator of Lower Decks was asked exactly this by the folks at IGN. Thanks to his breadth of knowledge, he had an answer for each series, while also throwing out some teasers for Lower Decks season 2.  "Shades of Gray," Mariner? Really? Image: ViacomCBS, via IGN. Mike spoke about the structure of Star Trek, and the nature of standalone episodes that add to the depth of the characters–but not in a way that the audience needs a refresh at the start of each new episode. What that means for Season 2 of Lower Decks is we have the setup of the first 10 episodes. So where to from here?  “These last three episodes created this crescendo of, ‘Look, this is what the show is. Let's go. And we keep that up. How does Mariner feel about Boimler taking off? How is Boimler doing on the Titan? So, [we're] still doing standalone, still episodes that feel episodic, but the characters don't forget. We haven't forgotten what we've said [in] Season 1.” That leads us to our first community question this week:    What are the bills you want to see paid in Lower Decks (and Picard) seasons two?

A new segment this week - Memory Alpha Download or M.A.D for short. This week I profile the details of a one-off character in the show and then look into the expanded history of the character in Memory Beta (the books etc). I'm not a fan of the novels as they tend to lead to "some" in the community to gatekeep and I've witnessed a few new fans being shamed for not knowing the expanded details, which makes me MAD - so this segment is looking to point how silly the Beta material can get.

Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds Michael Dorn Breaks Twitter By Elio Lleo On Monday, April 19th, Michael Dorn broke Twitter. Well, metaphorically broke the corner of Twitter that most Trekkies hang out in. You see, his tweet read "Just got the news, being summoned back into action. Starfleet calls. #ad". https://twitter.com/akaWorf/status/1384232487656640522 At the time of this writing, the post has been retweeted almost 3,000 times and liked nearly 40,000 times. Everyone assumed that this was an “unofficial” announcement that he would be reprising this role as Worf in an upcoming Star Trek film or television production. Even our own team at Priority One mistakenly believed this was another “slip-up” from one of the actors: an announcement that he had been cast to return. Dishonor On You And Your Podcast We're not journalists, nor have we ever announced ourselves as such. For 500 episodes, we've curated the big headlines from industry sources and do our best to offer our thoughts and reviews on the subject. So, it was definitely our mistake to have retweeted it as if we had official confirmation of his return to the small or big screen [so stop emailing us about it-Ed.]. But the fine folks at TrekMovie and io9–with their constantly reliable sources--did their due diligence. Michael Dorn's tweet “...whatever this is, it isn't related to a Paramount+ Star Trek project.” So that's that. Worf is not returning–at least not on any Star Trek Paramount+ or film project. Some of us are taking it harder than others. Image: ViacomCBS, via Memory Alpha. But let's say he did. What would that look like? If you've read the IDW Countdown series that set up the Kelvin Fork, you know that Worf was impaled by Nero. If you've played Star Trek Online, you know he's an ambassador. And most recently, if you've read Una McCormack's pre-Picard Prime Universe novel, you know he's the captain of the Enterprise. That leads us to our first community question this week:   CQ: If you were writing for Worf's return in a show like Star Trek: Picard, how would you set it up? Let us know in the comment section for this episode at priorityonepodcast.com, or by replying to our community question post on our social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! He Who Controls The Multiverse Controls the Streams! By Elio Lleo Last week, we recapped Akiva Goldsman's interview with The Hollywood Reporter, about what viewers can expect from Star Trek: Picard and Strange New Worlds. This week, Variety spoke with Alex Kurtzman (and several other executives) exploring how big intellectual properties are influencing the streaming and film industries. Image: Giacomo Gambineri, for Variety. When exploring how the production and distribution of media has shifted–especially during the COVID19 pandemic when theatres were shut down–Kurtzman explains that “I think vertical alignment has made it so that it's impossible not to accept the reality that the line between movies and television is gone. It doesn't mean that you can't have a feature that is separate from television. But if they aren't connected in some way, then you're basically running two universes parallel as opposed to interconnected, and I think that those messages could potentially cancel each other out.” Interestingly, in the wake of the merger the Star Trek team of showrunners are (apparently) meeting monthly. Kurtzman told Variety, “We make sure that those showrunners are coordinating so that they're not stepping on each other's toes." So Star Trek: Discovery aired back in 2017, and Picard in January of 2020. Is it possible we'll see more cohesive storytelling and development from collaboration going forward? A Closer Look At Discovery Season 3 Visual Effects By Cat Hough Pixomondo, the Emmy-nominated visual effects house for Star Trek: Discovery,. released a highlight reel of the visual effects seen in Season 3. We hear VFX supervisor Phil Jones explaining some of the complexities involved in designing 32nd century ships. One challenge in particular was Book's chameleon ship, which had to be re-configured to fit in the Discovery's shuttle bay–not to mention constantly changing shape when flying.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmXn5PFaQug The team also designed most of the planet and ground locations by starting with live-action footage and layering in additional effects. For example, the ice planet was based from footage shot in Iceland. As discussed in previous episodes, Pixomondo also confirmed that Season 4 is being shot on a virtual production stage, Mandalorian-style.  In Memoriam: Felix Silla, Cousin Itt On The Addams Family, 84 By Rosco McQueen The actor Felix Silla, who played Addams Family member Cousin Itt, has died after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 84. Silla was a trained circus performer who came to the United States from Italy in 1955. He toured with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Show, which ultimately led him to roles in Hollywood as a stuntman.  Felix Silla, 1937-2021. Image: Dave Starbuck/Geisler-Fotopress via Variety. Silla's links to Star Trek go back to the very beginning–he was a Talosian in the original pilot “The Cage”–but his list of credits is extensive. Along the way, he worked with the likes of Michael Dorn in 1977's Demon Seed, Michael Ansara in 1978's The Manitou, and in the 1979 film The Brood by David Cronenberg. In Memoriam: Robert Fletcher, Star Trek Costume Designer, 98 By Rosco McQueen Also Robert Fletcher, 'Star Trek' Costume Designer, has died this week aged 98. Fletcher was the designer behind the feature films' Klingon and Vulcan looks, which have since become iconic to the franchise. He was also the designer of the full set of rank pins used in Wrath of Khan and beyond. Robert Fletcher, 1922-2021. Image: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images via The Hollywood Reporter. Robert Fletcher received three Tony Award nominations for his work on Little Me (1963), High Spirits (1964), and Hadrian VII (1969). In 2005 he was awarded the Career Achievement Award from the Costume Designers Guild and in 2008 he received a Theatre Development Fund / Irene Sharaff Lifetime Achievement Award for his set design work. ASTROMETRICS REPORT By Robert Hurt, PhD. Edited by Thomas Reynolds For this week's Astrometrics Report, we're going to take a journey into darkness: specifically, the vast halo of dark matter astronomers think surrounds our galaxy. Because dark matter is, well, dark, it is notoriously hard to study. It can't be observed directly, and indeed there's no clear idea of what it is. It is only inferred to exist by its substantial gravitational effect on the normal, luminous matter that we can detect. That effect is not subtle–scientists think that dark matter outweighs normal matter by a factor of 5 to 1. That's a lot of dark, but there is a tiny bit of light in this dark matter tunnel that astronomers have just leveraged to get a handle on all that stuff surrounding out galaxy. Two teams of astronomers have come together, in a recent Nature paper, to compare theoretical models of how dark matter may flow around the Milky Way. The challenging observational effort: survey the most difficult stars in the outer reaches of our galaxy, in the region known as its halo. Image: NASA/ESA/JPL-Caltech/Conroy et. al. Our galaxy has two neighboring galaxies that factor into this study, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. These are a standard fixture in our dark nighttime skies, but only from the Southern Hemisphere. The larger one ("LMC" for short) has about one-quarter the mass of the Milky Way, and is about 160,000 lightyears away. For a sense of scale, the Milky Way itself is only about 100,000 lightyears across. It has long been thought that the LMC and SMC are satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. A recent theoretical study from the University of Arizona, indicates this orbit should create a sort of gravitational wake in the Milky Way's dark matter halo. But how would one ever find the wake if it existed? This is when a group of Harvard astronomers came into the picture. Reasoning that the sparse scattering of stars in the halo would follow the hidden distribution of dark matter, they set out to find the faint population of the most distant stars around the Milky Way. To do this, they combined star catalogues from two complementary missions. The European Space Agency's Gaia mission has mapped out billions of stars in visible light, while NASA's NEOWISE mission has surveyed the entire sky in infrared light. Only by comparing the visible and infrared signatures of billions of stars could they identify about 1300 sitting further out than even the LMC itself. This map of our galaxy's most distant stars showed a striking irregularity–one that aligned incredibly well with the dark matter simulation. It's a classic case of theory leading to a hypothesis that could be tested with data. This is the scientific method in action! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvcFHSJTJHU&feature=emb_imp_woyt Animation: NASA/JPL-Caltech/NSF/R. Hurt/N. Garavito-Camargo & G. Besla. The study also sheds light on the nature of mysterious dark matter itself. In this case, it lends support for a kind of scenario scientists have dubbed "cold dark matter. " Refining the dark matter simulations to better match the observations may also help establish more precise properties of this elusive stuff. Make sure to check the shownotes for a link to the paper, and the cool animation showing the dark matter halo simulation. But as a parting thought, I'd like to take a minute to imagine what it would be like, standing on a world orbiting one of these distant lonely stars in the Milky Way's halo. Chances are you would not be able to see easily the nearest star with the naked eye, as they would just be too far apart. Instead, your night sky would be filled with the spectacle of the entire Milky Way itself. Not unlike that closing moment in the Empire Strikes Back, as the rebel fleet regroups in the far reaches of their own galaxy far, far away. "Star Wars"? Never heard of it. Image: Disney/Lucasfilm STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds Upgrading Phoenix Box Upgrades By Rosco McQueen Captains on PC can claim a free Phoenix Prize pack each day until April 27th. So why not take the time to say hi to Gyrm on Drozana Station, or shoot the breeze with Onna on Deep Space Nine? For those brand new to STO, your account can claim one prize pack per day, or you can spend dilithium for single or 10-box bundles. Open the pack and receive a token with one of five rarity levels. The top two tiers, Ultra Rare and Epic, will allow you to claim a T5 or T6 starship. For a full list of available prizes, trek out the link in our show notes. Image: Cryptic Studios. The most interesting part is the Experimental Upgrade tokens are now available to claim at the Ultra Rare level.  It's not the first time the token has been a part of the prize pack. However, the blog post announcing the event states “[t]hese tokens will only be available in this pack during this event.” CQ: What items from the Phoenix Prize pack do you think players should try to get their hands on? STO Remasters Tholian TFOs By Cat Hough If you happened to be playing through TFOs over the weekend, you may have noticed the Azure Nebula and Vault Ensnared have been remastered. Updates include different optional requirements, updated timers and more noticeable indicators. The remastering wasn't mentioned in patch notes, but announced via tweet instead. Be Advised: First-Time Players In Star Trek Online By Rosco McQueen The independent MMO website Massively OP asked a straightforward question this week. What key advice would you give to first-timers in your MMO? Star Trek Online has just been through the Klingon Recruitment event, and rolled into a revamped Delta Recruit event.  What does this mean for new players?  It's the perfect time to start a new character and take them on a new adventure, with all-new bonuses available! So if you're brand new to the game, first of all, welcome!  We thought we would share a couple of pieces of advice that will hopefully set up your captain for success. Image: Cryptic Studios via SFC3/STOwiki. Choose a weapon type at the start–phasers, disruptors, etc.–and a style like beams or cannons. Stick with them. You can never go wrong with a hot, sour little pick-me-up in a stemmed glass, with a drop of honey. STOWiki is your best source of information for missions, equipment, build, and anything else in the game. An MMO-style mouse with side-mounted 10-key pad will make the game far easier to play. Also, consider setting up macros to automate your power usage. Don't rush! Enjoy the game and get through the story missions. You don't have to be in a hurry to get to endgame. Join a fleet! We happen to know a few. CQ: What are the key pieces of advice you would give to first-time players of Star Trek Online?

By Elio Lleo Last week, we recapped Akiva Goldsman's interview with The Hollywood Reporter, about what viewers can expect from Star Trek: Picard and Strange New Worlds. This week, Variety spoke with Alex Kurtzman (and several other executives) exploring how big intellectual properties are influencing the streaming and film industries. Image: Giacomo Gambineri, for Variety. When exploring how the production and distribution of media has shifted–especially during the COVID19 pandemic when theatres were shut down–Kurtzman explains that “I think vertical alignment has made it so that it’s impossible not to accept the reality that the line between movies and television is gone. It doesn’t mean that you can’t have a feature that is separate from television. But if they aren’t connected in some way, then you’re basically running two universes parallel as opposed to interconnected, and I think that those messages could potentially cancel each other out.” Interestingly, in the wake of the merger the Star Trek team of showrunners are (apparently) meeting monthly. Kurtzman told Variety, “We make sure that those showrunners are coordinating so that they’re not stepping on each other’s toes." So Star Trek: Discovery aired back in 2017, and Picard in January of 2020. Is it possible we’ll see more cohesive storytelling and development from collaboration going forward? A Closer Look At Discovery Season 3 Visual Effects By Cat Hough Pixomondo, the Emmy-nominated visual effects house for Star Trek: Discovery,. released a highlight reel of the visual effects seen in Season 3. We hear VFX supervisor Phil Jones explaining some of the complexities involved in designing 32nd century ships. One challenge in particular was Book's chameleon ship, which had to be re-configured to fit in the Discovery's shuttle bay–not to mention constantly changing shape when flying.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmXn5PFaQug The team also designed most of the planet and ground locations by starting with live-action footage and layering in additional effects. For example, the ice planet was based from footage shot in Iceland. As discussed in previous episodes, Pixomondo also confirmed that Season 4 is being shot on a virtual production stage, Mandalorian-style.  In Memoriam: Felix Silla, Cousin Itt On The Addams Family, 84 By Rosco McQueen The actor Felix Silla, who played Addams Family member Cousin Itt, has died after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 84. Silla was a trained circus performer who came to the United States from Italy in 1955. He toured with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Show, which ultimately led him to roles in Hollywood as a stuntman.  Felix Silla, 1937-2021. Image: Dave Starbuck/Geisler-Fotopress via Variety. Silla’s links to Star Trek go back to the very beginning–he was a Talosian in the original pilot “The Cage”–but his list of credits is extensive. Along the way, he worked with the likes of Michael Dorn in 1977’s Demon Seed, Michael Ansara in 1978’s The Manitou, and in the 1979 film The Brood by David Cronenberg. In Memoriam: Robert Fletcher, Star Trek Costume Designer, 98 By Rosco McQueen Also Robert Fletcher, 'Star Trek' Costume Designer, has died this week aged 98. Fletcher was the designer behind the feature films’ Klingon and Vulcan looks, which have since become iconic to the franchise. He was also the designer of the full set of rank pins used in Wrath of Khan and beyond. Robert Fletcher, 1922-2021. Image: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images via The Hollywood Reporter. Robert Fletcher received three Tony Award nominations for his work on Little Me (1963), High Spirits (1964), and Hadrian VII (1969). In 2005 he was awarded the Career Achievement Award from the Costume Designers Guild and in 2008 he received a Theatre Development Fund / Irene Sharaff Lifetime Achievement Award for his set design work. ASTROMETRICS REPORT By Robert Hurt, PhD. Edited by Thomas Reynolds For this week's Astrometrics Report, we're going to take a journey into darkness: specifically, the vast halo of dark matter astronomers think surrounds our galaxy. Because dark matter is, well, dark, it is notoriously hard to study. It can't be observed directly, and indeed there's no clear idea of what it is. It is only inferred to exist by its substantial gravitational effect on the normal, luminous matter that we can detect. That effect is not subtle–scientists think that dark matter outweighs normal matter by a factor of 5 to 1. That's a lot of dark, but there is a tiny bit of light in this dark matter tunnel that astronomers have just leveraged to get a handle on all that stuff surrounding out galaxy. Two teams of astronomers have come together, in a recent Nature paper, to compare theoretical models of how dark matter may flow around the Milky Way. The challenging observational effort: survey the most difficult stars in the outer reaches of our galaxy, in the region known as its halo. Image: NASA/ESA/JPL-Caltech/Conroy et. al. Our galaxy has two neighboring galaxies that factor into this study, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. These are a standard fixture in our dark nighttime skies, but only from the Southern Hemisphere. The larger one ("LMC" for short) has about one-quarter the mass of the Milky Way, and is about 160,000 lightyears away. For a sense of scale, the Milky Way itself is only about 100,000 lightyears across. It has long been thought that the LMC and SMC are satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. A recent theoretical study from the University of Arizona, indicates this orbit should create a sort of gravitational wake in the Milky Way's dark matter halo. But how would one ever find the wake if it existed? This is when a group of Harvard astronomers came into the picture. Reasoning that the sparse scattering of stars in the halo would follow the hidden distribution of dark matter, they set out to find the faint population of the most distant stars around the Milky Way. To do this, they combined star catalogues from two complementary missions. The European Space Agency's Gaia mission has mapped out billions of stars in visible light, while NASA's NEOWISE mission has surveyed the entire sky in infrared light. Only by comparing the visible and infrared signatures of billions of stars could they identify about 1300 sitting further out than even the LMC itself. This map of our galaxy's most distant stars showed a striking irregularity–one that aligned incredibly well with the dark matter simulation. It's a classic case of theory leading to a hypothesis that could be tested with data. This is the scientific method in action! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvcFHSJTJHU&feature=emb_imp_woyt Animation: NASA/JPL-Caltech/NSF/R. Hurt/N. Garavito-Camargo & G. Besla. The study also sheds light on the nature of mysterious dark matter itself. In this case, it lends support for a kind of scenario scientists have dubbed "cold dark matter. " Refining the dark matter simulations to better match the observations may also help establish more precise properties of this elusive stuff. Make sure to check the shownotes for a link to the paper, and the cool animation showing the dark matter halo simulation. But as a parting thought, I'd like to take a minute to imagine what it would be like, standing on a world orbiting one of these distant lonely stars in the Milky Way's halo. Chances are you would not be able to see easily the nearest star with the naked eye, as they would just be too far apart. Instead, your night sky would be filled with the spectacle of the entire Milky Way itself. Not unlike that closing moment in the Empire Strikes Back, as the rebel fleet regroups in the far reaches of their own galaxy far, far away. "Star Wars"? Never heard of it. Image: Disney/Lucasfilm STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds Upgrading Phoenix Box Upgrades By Rosco McQueen Captains on PC can claim a free Phoenix Prize pack each day until April 27th. So why not take the time to say hi to Gyrm on Drozana Station, or shoot the breeze with Onna on Deep Space Nine? For those brand new to STO, your account can claim one prize pack per day, or you can spend dilithium for single or 10-box bundles. Open the pack and receive a token with one of five rarity levels. The top two tiers, Ultra Rare and Epic, will allow you to claim a T5 or T6 starship. For a full list of available prizes, trek out the link in our show notes. Image: Cryptic Studios. The most interesting part is the Experimental Upgrade tokens are now available to claim at the Ultra Rare level.  It’s not the first time the token has been a part of the prize pack. However, the blog post announcing the event states “[t]hese tokens will only be available in this pack during this event.” CQ: What items from the Phoenix Prize pack do you think players should try to get their hands on? STO Remasters Tholian TFOs By Cat Hough If you happened to be playing through TFOs over the weekend, you may have noticed the Azure Nebula and Vault Ensnared have been remastered. Updates include different optional requirements, updated timers and more noticeable indicators. The remastering wasn’t mentioned in patch notes, but announced via tweet instead. Be Advised: First-Time Players In Star Trek Online By Rosco McQueen The independent MMO website Massively OP asked a straightforward question this week. What key advice would you give to first-timers in your MMO? Star Trek Online has just been through the Klingon Recruitment event, and rolled into a revamped Delta Recruit event.  What does this mean for new players?  It’s the perfect time to start a new character and take them on a new adventure, with all-new bonuses available! So if you’re brand new to the game, first of all, welcome!  We thought we would share a couple of pieces of advice that will hopefully set up your captain for success. Image: Cryptic Studios via SFC3/STOwiki. Choose a weapon type at the start–phasers, disruptors, etc.–and a style like beams or cannons. Stick with them. You can never go wrong with a hot, sour little pick-me-up in a stemmed glass, with a drop of honey. STOWiki is your best source of information for missions, equipment, build, and anything else in the game. An MMO-style mouse with side-mounted 10-key pad will make the game far easier to play. Also, consider setting up macros to automate your power usage. Don’t rush! Enjoy the game and get through the story missions. You don’t have to be in a hurry to get to endgame. Join a fleet! We happen to know a few. CQ: What are the key pieces of advice you would give to first-time players of Star Trek Online?
