“Know Thyself…Love Thyself” This week, the SyFy Sistas beam up a true legend of the Star Trek universe: actress and lifelong Trekker Ursaline Bryant, best known to fans as the trailblazing Captain Tryla Scott from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Ms. Bryant doesn't just join the conversation—she commands it. With the poise and power of a true Starfleet captain, she shares her journey through Hollywood, the importance of true representation, and what it meant to portray one of the youngest captains in Starfleet history. The Sistas were all ears and all heart, soaking up wisdom like cadets in their first year at Starfleet Academy. This conversation is about truth-telling, self-reflection, and shining a light on the hidden histories that shaped her journey. This episode is a classroom—and a mirror.

Matt Picard joins us again to share more about his passion for brain health. He has come through a long process of recovery from 10 diagnosed concussions and post-concussive syndrome. His experience became even more personal when his grandfather was diagnosed with and ultimately passed away from glioblastoma brain cancer. Around the same time, Matt also lost a close friend to ALS, further driving his passion for supporting brain health. Frustrated by the limited knowledge surrounding brain conditions and the lack of effective treatments, Matt launched the Picard Research Fund and established the Heads Together Gala, an annual fundraiser in New York City that supports research into brain health and neurological diseases.

This week, we're bending time, smashing starships, and looping through one of the most mind-bending episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 5, Episode 18 – "Cause and Effect". It's a perfect example of how sci-fi can take a deceptively simple concept—what if you're stuck in a time loop?—and turn it into a suspenseful, clever, and surprisingly rewatchable piece of television.
Hey everyone...in honor of our upcoming 100th episode (!!!), I'll be occasionally re-releasing some of my favorite past conversations. This one was special and powerful--the incredible Ann Magnuson coming on and being incredibly heartfelt, funny, vulnerable, and truthful on the show. I love that I never know where the show is going to go and this episode is the perfect example of why I feel so honored to do Revolutions Per Movie. (Episode 48 which originally aired on August 8th, 2024).The original podcast show notes:This week, we talk to legendary actor, musician, performance artist, and writer ANN MAGNUSON (Bongwater, The Hunger, Making Mr. Right, Cabin Boy, Pyramid Club, Club 57) about the influential cinema jazz documentary Jazz On A Summer's Day. We discuss the performances in the film (including Thelonious Monk, Anita O' Day, Chico Hamilton, Eric Dolphy to name a few performers), what it was like for Ann to inhabit Anita O'Day for the audio book of her autobiography, first impressions of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, Ann's programing at the legendary NYC Club 57, Ann's new song 'Ghost Cat' with producer Don Dixon, her early life in West Virginia, D.I.Y. & Ann's SurRURALism techniques, success in the underground being a dirty word, the return of Vulcan Death Grip, being a professional walk-a-thoner, photographer & filmmaker Bert Stern, how the film brings a visceral sense of childhood for Ann, how Stern made the whole project happen with his own equipment and financing, Ann's parents and the dry Jazz club scene in West Virginia, filming Making Mr. Right and the new wave sensibility of the 80s, how Monk's performance is presented in the film, Chris scats the Anita O' Day finale of ‘Tea For Two' from his memory of repeated listening of the film at his video store, the white privilege throughout in the film, midnight Mahalia Jackson performances, how protest music is needed now more than ever and Ann reads from Anita O'day's memoir about the performance that was filmed for this movie and how it changed O'Days life. So let's never sing the same song the same way twice on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!ANN MAGNUSON:https://annmagnuson.com/https://annmagnuson.bandcamp.com/album/ghost-catVULCAN DEATH GRIP:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2_dWSpDXJEREVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film or music videos to discuss.

Before The Wrath of Khan became the fan-favorite sequel we know today, Star Trek II went through multiple story pitches, including one from original series contributor Samuel A. Peeples. In the summer of 1981, Peeples outlined a new character: Commander SsAVIK, a half-Vulcan, half-Romulan officer with a sharp intellect and complex heritage. This week on The Trek Files, Ben Robinson joins Larry to discuss Peeples' early concept for SsAVIK, how it evolved into the Saavik we met on screen, and the wider creative tug-of-war between Gene Roddenberry, Harve Bennett, and Nick Meyer as the sequel took shape. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week, featuring two more unused characters from Peeples' draft! Document and additional references: Samuel A.

Recorded December 1, 2024 This week, Nate talks about a cross country event (surprise, surprise) which he hosted and it may have grown a bit larger than he originally expected. After that, Nate and Ryan talk about things that end well, as all good things must. Then, they have what Ryan only could describe as a Fanta brand Calpis and Baskin Robins Kit Kats. Finally, to wrap everything up, they discuss internal android wars, the strength of nostalgia, and their love for the TNG cast in their discussion of the final season of Picard.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, Series 6, Episode 15. First broadcast on Monday 15 February 1993. Stardate: Unknown (2369). When Q first turned up on the Enterprise bridge in 1987, he came to teach all of humanity a lesson about its terrible past. But this week his mission is more personal: to teach Picard how much he owes his young, undisciplined self, and to remind us that youth is silly and difficult, and that the people living through it deserve our respect. (On that topic, if you wish to see the inspiration for Joe's preferred 1990s hairstyle, you should check out the cover of Star Trek: The Next Generation — Boogeymen (1991) by Mel Gilden.)
In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, Unimatrix Zero,Part II, with Janeway and B'Elanna still Borg'd up, and Tuvok having a full identity crisis, the mission to plant a virus hangs by a thread. Meanwhile, a resistance inside Unimatrix Zero finds its voice, but the Borg Queen has an ultimatum that could end it all. Seven joins the fight and rekindles a personal connection that might not survive. Mission Log dives into Unimatrix Zero, Part II.

The United States Marine Corps, the country's main foreign expedition force, has been deployed to Los Angeles – this on top of the US president enrolling the National Guard in a show of force against pockets of violent protest against the arrest of undocumented immigrants at their place of work. It's a fight that Donald Trump wanted to pick for a long time, going over the head of the Democratic governor of California just days before another first: a US president staging a military parade in Washington on his birthday. In his first term, Trump's Republican Party was the party of states' rights, regularly accusing the federal government of overreach. How did it all change so fast?A nation with a determined far right that's up against a splintered mainstream sounds a lot like the situation in France, where the next presidential election is in two years' time. As Marine Le Pen's party harks back to its trademark anti-immigrant rhetoric – a topic where a majority of US citizens back Trump – what lessons can be drawn from the seemingly fast-changing form of democracy in America?Produced by François Picard, Maya Yataghene, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Alessandro Xenos.
We're back with Ronald D. Moore for part two of our dive into the wonderfully strange 1976 spoken-word album Inside Star Trek. This time, things get weird... in the best way. From Sarek (Mark Lenard) debating Vulcan mating rituals with Gene Roddenberry, to William Shatner performing a time-bending double act as both himself and Captain Kirk, the album takes some truly unexpected turns. Ron shares his favorite moments, what they say about Trek's early self-awareness, and how even the quirkiest bits helped shape his own fandom.

We're going out to the farthest reaches of space and into the deepest recesses of the mind for another look at Harry Potter and Star Trek. Potterversity regular Louise Freeman, a retired psychology professor and licensed behavioral analyst who previously joined us for two episodes on memory in Harry Potter, contacted us after our Star Trek episode to share another connection that occurred to her. She asks us to consider the famous Dumbledore quotation "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" (DH 723) in the context of implanted memories in Star Trek. We focus on Captain Picard's life in an extinct civilization on the Next Generation episode "The Inner Light" and Chief O'Brien's prison sentence on Deep Space Nine's "Hard Time." Both experiences take place only in the characters' minds within a few minutes yet feel like years to Picard and O'Brien. Technically, Picard never left the bridge of the Enterprise and O'Brien never served time in jail - it happened inside their heads but felt real to them and had lasting effects. We also discuss Captain Pike's time on Talos IV on The Original Series, where aliens can create convincing illusions either to trap people or to give them a better quality of life, which is particularly appealing for Pike after he becomes severely disabled. Nog's time in a Las Vegas nightclub in a holosuite following a traumatic injury on Deep Space Nine's "It's Only a Paper Moon" leads us to consider Potter's ghosts and another Dumbledore quote: "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live" (SS 214). These "unreal" experiences can have positive or negative consequences and demonstrate the power of escapism not only within these series but for audiences who feel immersed in them.

Overheated and overfished: an SOS for oceans under duress is being sent from a UN summit in Nice. But try telling that to those who advocate deep-sea drilling for precious metals. In a world hungry for the minerals that power our batteries and connect our computers, the United States but also China, India, Japan, Norway and more are seriously studying whether science fiction can become reality. We ask about the actual feasibility of deep-sea mining and the competing narratives at play, what with the US boycotting the United Nations Oceans Conference in Nice and a paltry 32 nations so far ratifying the UN's High Seas Treaty. How to protect the two-thirds of our planet's surface that belong to both everyone and no one?Watch moreNorway lured by deep-sea mining for rare metalsOn that score, there's no need to drill when you hit rock bottom. Even areas protected on paper remain vulnerable to large fishing trawlers that literally rake the seabed, killing both fish and plant life essential for our planet.

When the Borg assimilated El-Auria, Dr. Tolian Soran lost everything—his wife Leandra, their children, and his entire civilization. The once-gentle man who "wouldn't hurt a fly" became a hollow shell, adrift among the few survivors of his species. His life changed forever during a rescue mission in 2293 when the Enterprise-B, assisted by the legendary James T. Kirk, saved him from a mysterious spatial phenomenon called the Nexus. For a fleeting moment within this energy ribbon, Sorin experienced pure joy as he reunited with his loved ones in a realm where desires shaped reality.

Anika and Liz put on their least comfortable lounging clothes and settle in to discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 6, episode 22, "Suspicions". Why is Beverly Crusher hosting an astrophysics conference? And other questions that will forever go unanswered However, this episode, which makes no sense in the context of TNG, makes a LOT of sense in the context of Star Trek: Picard, and its theme of marginalised people doing SCIENCE is resonant in 2025 You're not gonna believe this, but you can't actually just substitute Beverly for Geordi and Worf and not make any other changes to a story Breaking down the Star Trek monocultures This unremarkable episode has one of Picard's best speeches in the entire franchise Beverly Crusher puts on heels and pantyhose to lounge around at home, because athleisurewear had not yet been invited in 1993 PITCH: the next streaming movie should be about Philippa Georgiou and Guinan DOING A HEIST
Before he was a celebrated Star Trek writer and producer, Ronald D. Moore was a fan, just like so many of us, watching reruns, devouring The Making of Star Trek, and listening to Gene Roddenberry's 1976 spoken-word album Inside Star Trek. In part one of our two-part conversation, Ron reflects on how that Columbia Records release shaped his early views of the franchise. We explore the stories that resonated with him most, including Gene's candid recollections of his own childhood challenges, and how those moments helped inspire Ron's own journey into the Star Trek universe.

They discuss Operation Monarch, Manchurian candidates, false flag psyops, and the spiritual dimensions underlying modern geopolitics. Are we pawns in a dark cosmic game? Did Hitler really hear voices? Why is trauma-based programming woven into celebrity culture? Buckle up — it's a mind-melting ride you won't want to miss.

What We Leave Behind | BloodlinesOooooooohhhhhhh, Ezri was a figment of Bashir and Worf's imagination all along. Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Also, how did Bok know that thing about Picard?Brother Date! It was a real fur ball out there tonight!
The man who coined the term "soft power" recently died. It's ironic that Joseph Nye taught at Harvard University, the institution that's in the eye of the storm of the Trump administration's crackdown on foreign students. A court has now stopped the US government from banning foreign student enrolment at the country's most elite university, but more suspensions of federal funding are in the works. Now comes a broader move. The US State Department is pausing visa applications for the country's more than 1 million foreign students, this "in preparation for an expansion of required social media screening and vetting". In a land that prides itself on its First Amendment of the Constitution guaranteeing free speech, who decides when posting a picture of a Palestinian flag constitutes a national security threat?Are we seeing a passing fancy or the true decline of US soft power? As Europeans try to lure students and researchers to migrate to these shores, as the UK moves towards rejoining the Erasmus foreign student exchange programme that the pro-Brexit Conservatives quit, we ask what the pushback against foreign students and the use of social media posts as evidence for the prosecution say about our times and the free flow of ideas and information.Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gniganti, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Alessandro Xenos.
From its earliest concept stages, Star Trek: The Next Generation set out to break new ground, including the intentional addition of a disabled crewmember to the Enterprise-D. Inspired by and named for a real fan, George LaForge, this character was part of a push for greater representation and inclusivity on screen. This week, The Trek Files welcomes actor and artist Bruce Horak, known to fans as Hemmer from Strange New Worlds. Bruce shares his personal journey as a blind actor stepping into Star Trek's universe, the impact of authentic representation, and his new documentary Boldly Going, where he paints portraits of people who have overcome significant challenges in their own lives. Content note: The historical document featured in this episode contains outdated language and descriptions of disabled individuals.

When Voyager A is dead in the water and Protostar is the only ship that can help, Asencia fires a time weapon that pierces the hull and ages Commander Tyssis. But when Zero volunteers to Steve Zahn so they can take out the deathnok ship, Maj'El leads the fighter pilots to victory and Jankom Pog gets Zero some upgrades. How do you know if you've got Adam or a Chameloid? What's the most popular metal band in Italy? Who taught Picard everything he knows? It's the episode that's leaning into confusion.Support the production of Greatest TrekGet a thing at podshop.biz!Sign up for our mailing list!Greatest Trek is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaFriends of DeSoto for: Labor | Democracy | JusticeDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Facebook | X | Instagram | TikTok | Mastodon | Bluesky | ThreadsAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.social

A l'automne 1996, deux corps étaient retrouvés à l'entrée d'un stand de tir de la Marine Nationale, tout près de Brest. Pas un accident ou une méprise. Mais une double exécution. Celles de François Picard, militaire, capitaine de vaisseau, et de Pol Creton, un spécialiste des mammifères marins. Ils ont été abattus avec méthode, détermination, froideur. Le début d'une énigme qui va traverser les années et ne va cesser de s'épaissir. Les enquêteurs vont énumérer les pistes. Retrouvez tous les jours en podcast le décryptage d'un faits divers, d'un crime ou d'une énigme judiciaire par Jean-Alphonse Richard, entouré de spécialistes, et de témoins d'affaires criminelles.Distribué par Audiomeans.

Happy Tuesday, everyone! If you are a fan of Marvel, or Star Trek, or just good Sci-Fi, then you are going to love this week's guest— I'm talking with my new friend Terry Matalas! Terry broke out when he created the TV adaptation of 12 Monkeys. He has gone on to write and direct the last two seasons of Star Trek: Picard, he did a season of MacGyver, and he's currently finishing Vision Quest and an animated adaptation of Magic: The Gathering. Terry has his hands in so many amazing projects and I love to see it because he is truly the nicest, most appreciative guy. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight this week, where my producer Jeph and I talk about some upcoming appearances and get into some fan questions from the Mail Sack!
