In this episode of Stage Nine, Mike tells John about his experiences at this year's convention. We discuss the latest news on Star Trek: Discovery, and detail a chance encounter with Ira Steven Behr.

Alien: Covenant. John Logan has contributed his writing to a number of high-profile film franchises (including Star Trek). He has also worked with Ridley Scott on the Best Picture winner, Gladiator. With Alien: Covenant, Logan covers both of these territories. In this episode of Stage Nine, Mike and John are joined by Brandon from Melodic Treks to look at Logan's script for Covenant. We discuss our thoughts on the movie, how it bridges the gap between Prometheus and Alien, and how it echoes the Data/Lore storyline on The Next Generation.

Skyfall. Star Trek: Nemesis featured that pairing of writer John Logan and director Stuart Baird. While that effort may not have yielded the finest results, the duo would re-team in a uniquely different capacity on the 007 movie, Skyfall. Logan once again wrote the script. But this time around, Baird was not behind the camera, but in the editing room. In this episode of Stage Nine, hosts John Mills and Mike Schindler take a look at Skyfall. We discuss the similarities to The Wrath of Khan, Baird's skills as an editor, and photography of the movie. In news, Mike reviews the new Ira Steven Behr production, Lucky, and we critique the new trailers for The Orville and Star Trek: Discovery.
