Anika and Liz get sucked into a wormhole and trapped on a moon orbiting a gas giant, which is actually pretty standard when you're adults with jobs trying to organise a board game night. We're discussing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, season 3, episode 9, "Terrarium", an episode which comes so close to being good before it snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.  "We're going to give you the stories you've been asking for since season 1, and then we're gonna end it with a twist that makes it all totally meaningless! Hurray!" Good news, Akiva Goldsman finally watched "Arena"! Next question, did he, um, understand it?  Anika has notes on Metron experiment design The AUDACITY of SNW criticising the Gorn for ableism This was an opportunity to let Uhura become a more complex and flawed character, but unfortunately Pike is bad at his job (and so are the writers) Is La'an actually psychologically fit for starship duty?  Why are we making fun of Spock's weight? Why is this whole season so dedicated to bullying Spock?  Endangering 4,000 people including children: that's the Christopher Pike way But seriously, why does Uhura have sole responsibility for this problem? Why is Pike setting her up to fail? 

We are quickly approaching the end of STRANGE NEW WORLDS season 3. In the penultimate episode, we seem to finally be getting the hashtag Moretegas story many of us have been asking for when a Erica Ortegas shuttle mission turns deadly. Season 3 of SNW has been a mixed bag for a lot of us. Does this story offer compelling character spotlight or more recycled tropey ideas? Bust open the Starfleet emergency rations and gather around some glowing rocks so we can discuss.As always, available in both video and audio-only formats.Watch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Q5_R1bqXkGet RSS feed:https://anchor.fm/s/f37edb0c/podcast/rssApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tex-trek/id1495605753?uo=4Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6mdZ030Klldxwn7SSc5PKp?si=3BOqsbQER9Ssfppqk7lofQ&fbclid=IwAR1M1uH_xBE1lYWcwQocoDzjoVSsLmCgBt08TCEYAltwIH3MPC0S60bMCsEJoin our Discord server:https://discord.gg/YXPeRyQh7ySupport us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/txtrekStar Trek: Strange New Worlds, Season 3 Episode 9"Terrarium"Written by Alan B.

Ortegas quickly discovers that a female Gorn pilot is also stranded, but the Gorn saves and protects Ortegas from the moon's dangers. Initially wary due to her traumatic experiences with the Gorn, Ortegas befriends the pilot and discovers that they are not so dissimilar—the two work together to find a way off the moon. At the same time, the Enterprise must soon rendezvous with the Constellation,[c] so Uhura lies about some data to get Pike to take the ship through the wormhole in search of Ortegas. Ortegas and the Gorn ignite the moon's atmosphere, signaling the Enterprise, but La'An kills the Gorn, mistaking her for an enemy. A Metron appears to Ortegas, explaining that they had brought the two together to see if peace between humans and Gorn was possible. Because of La'An's violent reaction, the Metron erases Ortegas' memories of their meeting, planning to study the situation further in the future.[d] Back on the ship, Ortegas mourns her new friend.Trekcast: The Galaxy's Most Unpredictable Star Trek Podcast!Welcome to Trekcast, the galaxy's most unpredictable Star Trek podcast!

[Strange New Worlds review starts at 17:06] Anthony and Laurie start this week’s podcast with the news, looking for the meaning behind a new Trek promo on Paramount+, digging into new details on Noah Hawley’s shelved Star Trek movie, and getting tidbits on Starfleet Academy. They go through more of the panels from STLV to get insights into Deep Space Nine, Discovery, and Strange New Worlds, then take a look at SNW on the Nielsen streaming charts. Then it’s time to review Strange New Worlds episode 308, “Terrarium,” which they both liked, although they disagree about a few choices. They play Tony’s interview with Melissa Navia (Ortegas), then wrap up the podcast with a Trek-themed political  parody post and a book Laurie wrote a chapter for.

Rob and Kevin play cartoon versions of Vulcan versions of themselves with the help of their exes in "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans" (SNW). They then revisit past episodes where post-relationship relationships figured prominently in the stories of Starfleet officers, including "Haven" (TNG) and "Rejoined" (DS9).SNW 3×08 Four-and-a-Half VulcansKerkhovianKatraBeto OrtegasSNW 3×07 What is Starfleet?SNW 3×05 The Sehlat Who Ate Its TailCetacean OpsExesIlia & Will DeckerDeanna Troi & Will RikerThe Wonderful Masculinity of Commander Riker (Rowan J Coleman)TNG 1×11 HavenLwaxana TroiWyatt MillerTNG 1×01/02 Encounter at FarpointT'PringTOS 2×05 Amok TimePlomeek SoupDS9 4×05 RejoinedDS9 6×26 Tears of the ProphetsLenara KahnTorias DaxNilani Kahn#52 Joined Trill(00:00) - Episode 80: Exes (SNW 1×08 Four-and-a-Half Vulcans) (01:05) - SNW 3×08 Four-and-a-Half Vulcans (24:26) - Exes (27:08) - TNG 1×11 Haven (34:12) - DS9 4×05 Rejoined Music: Distänt Mind, Brigitte Handley

The two best episodes of SNW's third season could not be more different: a dark documentary and a lighthearted comedy. (The post Strange New Worlds S3E07–08: What Is Starfleet? & Four-and-a-Half Vulcans first appeared on Transporter Lock - A Star Trek podcast.)

Identity, ethics, and comedy collide as SNW turns the crew Vulcan. Dom Bettinelli, Fr. Jason Tyler, and Jimmy Akin ask: Is logic a skill or a serum? Was Uhura's mind-meld fair play?

Well, it's finally here. This week we discuss "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans," the latest wacky episode of SNW that many have dreaded since the infamous clip revealed last year. But, now it's arrived and we're unpacking it all. Is it as bad as we feared?

Shore Leave gestrichen, Logik aktiviert: „Four-And-A-Half Vulcans“ serviert euch Lirpas, Laserblicke und Frisuren, die eigene Orbits brauchen. Wir sprechen über Pikes 42-Minuten-Schichtplan (Produktivität oder Performance-Kunst?), Uhuras Mind-Meld-Feintuning beim Date, La'Ans Versuch, den Alpha-Quadranten als 4D-Schachbrett neu zu bespielen, Pasalks Salz-Detox und natürlich DOUG (Patton Oswalt), der Spock in High-Fives und Kontraktionen coacht: „High five. Down low. It's.“ Bonus: Musikmontage mit „Reckless Youth“, Katra-Space mit Belugas (Cetacean Ops lässt grüßen), Plomeek-Suppe mit brutal ehrlicher Rezension und eine Tanztherapie, die aus einem Kampf wächst. Wir nehmen auch die große Frage mit: Was macht uns aus – Essenz oder Aufführung? Aristoteles nickt, Judith Butler tanzt. Holt euch den Spaß-Boost, schnallt euch an für Kanon-Schmankerl und feiert mit uns eine Folge, die so sehr eskaliert, dass selbst die Logik kurz kichert. #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #SNW #FourAndAHalfVulcans #DiscoveryPanel #StarTrekPodcast #Spock #Pike #Uhura #LaAn #Chapel #PattonOswalt #CetaceanOps #Katra #Lirpa #PrimeDirective #PlomeekSoup #RecklessYouth #PodcastTime

Kevin and Rob dodge oddly insistent questions about what it's like to kill a person in order to discuss the relative merits of "What is Starfleet?" (SNW). Inspired by this episode's "space dragon", they revisit a couple of other giant space creatures of episodes past, in "Datalore" and "Silicon Avatar" (TNG), and "Tin Man" (TNG).SNW 3×07 What is Starfleet?Giant space creaturesTNG 1×01/02 Encounter at FarpointTNG 1×13 DataloreCrystalline EntityLoreTNG 5×04 Silicon AvatarWhale probeTNG 3×20 Tin ManGomtuuRon Jones' score for Datalore on Apple MusicTOS 2×19 The Immunity SyndromeTOS 2×18 Obsession

It's documentary time! Anika and Liz look straight into the camera and share their feelings about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "What Is Starfleet?", including... We have complicated feelings about this episode! It interrogates the documentary as a form of propaganda, but also interrogates the Federation in bad faith?  SNW is not equipped to deal with Israel/Palestine or Ukraine/Russia through allegory Liz would like to apologise to the Spanish speaking population of Earth for her pronunciation of "Beto" This is an episode about journalism that doesn't want the audience to ask too many questions Anika appreciates the messiness of this story Did we not? Have a whole Prime Directive? About not getting involved in foreign wars?  SNW has a lot of the same problems as Voyager We did not need a self-harm story from Spock, anymore than we needed an animal harm story from Pike It's not enough that now everyone joins Starfleet because of trauma, but now everyone is alone and friendless until they are assigned to the hero ship It's so unfair? How people keep bringing up that murder M'Benga did? It's actually really triggering for him?  Anika explains how Starfleet is like the spirit of Norway

Is Starfleet an empire in disguise—or humanity's best defense? Dom Bettinelli, Jimmy Akin, and Fr. Jason Tyler unpack Strange New Worlds' What is Starfleet? as a documentary questions militarism, morality, and the Federation's true nature. The post What Is Starfleet? (SNW) appeared first on StarQuest Media.

Sigh...SNW goes and does what we thought they would. They killed off the character getting an odd introduction at the start of the season. Emily, Adam and Nach discuss that and share their strange new takes on the rest of the episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

[Strange New Worlds review starts at 26:25] Anthony and Laurie star the podcast by looking to the future, covering Paramount (now a Skydance company)'s interest in making Star Trek movies and the creative people looking to make new pitches for Trek shows and movies. They discuss Simon Pegg's thwarted plans for a Beyond spin-off, plans for the Star Trek Universe panel at New York Comic Con, Lower Decks‘ wins at the Hugos, and some new Trek games coming our way. They also talk about Jonathan Frakes' surprise that his SNW holodeck episode has mixed reviews and the strong numbers for the show's new season, then dig in to their review of this week's episode, “What is Starfleet?” and then play Laurie's interview with Mynor Luken (Beto Ortegas).

Rob and Kev record their entire conversation about "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" (SNW) over copper wires with pink telephone receivers. They then visit two previous uses of "ancient" technology in Trek adventures, "Spectre of the Gun" (TOS) and "Vis à Vis" (VOY).SNW 3×06 The Sehlat Who Ate Its TailUSS Farragut (NCC-1647)TOS 2×18 Obsession (the tragedy where Kirk, as a Lieutenant, blamed himself for the deaths of half the Farragut crew)USS Stargazer (NCC-2893)“Risk is our business” (and an extended cut!)SNW 2×06 Lost in Translation (clip of Kirk/Spock/Uhura first drink)Using Ancient TechnologyTOS 3×06 Spectre of the GunVOY 4×20 Vis à VisVOY 2×15 ThresholdB'Elanna TorresVOY 6×05 Alice(00:00) - Episode 78: Using Ancient Technology (SNW 3×06 The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail) (01:19) - SNW 3×06 The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail (21:58) - Using Ancient Technology (22:43) - TOS 3×06 Spectre of the Gun (31:21) - VOY 4×20 Vis à Vis Music: Distänt Mind, Brigitte Handley

Kev and Rob are possessed by two entirely different manifestations of pure evil and have a knock-down, drag-out fistfight in sickbay over the slightly confusing but gratifyingly adventurous events of "Through the Lens of Time" (SNW). Having regained their senses, they investigate other instances of body possession in "Return to Tomorrow" (TOS), "Power Play" (TNG), and "Tears of the Prophets" (DS9).SNW 3×05 Through the Lens of TimeCarol KaneSNW 3×06 Those Old ScientistsDana GambleRoger KorbyTOS 1×09 What Are Little Girls Made Of?SNW 3×01 Hegemony, Part IIBody possessionTOS 2×20 Return to TomorrowTOS 1×24 Space Seed“Risk is our business”Diana Muldaur (as Ann Mulhall)TOS 3×07 Is There in Truth No Beauty?Elisabeth ShelbyTNG 3×26 The Best of Both WorldsMajel BarrettNumber OneLwaxana TroiTNG 5×15 Power PlayRo LarenMarina SirtisColm MeaneySmileyBrent SpinerTrillKeiko O'BrienMolly O'BrienDS9 6×26 Tears of the ProphetsPah-wraithTOS 1×19 ArenaBatel(00:00) - Episode 77: Body Possession (SNW 3×05 Through the Lens of Time) (01:19) - SNW 3×05 Through the Lens of Time (24:29) - Body Possession (24:46) - TOS 2×20 Return to Tomorrow (39:55) - TNG 5×15 Power Play (47:16) - DS9 6×26 Tears of the Prophets Music: Distänt Mind, Brigitte Handley

Anika and Liz battle an ancient and unbeatable enemy: grimdark anti-morality in Star Trek. We're discussing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail", an episode with all the ingredients of Star Trek except its soul... This feels like a backdoor pilot for a series which has been around for nearly 60 years Why are we spending so much time developing James Kirk instead of the regulars? We have had a whole movie trilogy about Kirk learning to be a good captain! Take a drink every time Anika says this should have been an Una episode! SNW does not understand why people love watching Kirk and Spock together, and we say that as people who don't ship K/S It's weird how Kirk's characterisation in Strange New Worlds has so little to do with "Where No Man Has Gone Before". We have never asked this question before, and we hope to never ask it again, but: do we need more Gary Mitchell up in here? How much was season 3 impacted by the strikes? Pike sending La'an into danger while he hangs back is not a good look "I wasn't sad about killing 7,000 people until I found out they were human" is bad ethics and bad Star Trek How many NFTs do we think Pelia owned?

On this episode of Trek Watch, we review episodes 5 and 6 of SNW , and the attempt at a backdoor pilot for a TOS year one series. 

After almost two full years, Strange New Worlds is finally back and we're jumping straight into the action with the highly anticipated Season 3 premiere, “Hegemony, Part 2.” This week, we're breaking it all down in real time, just hours after the episode drops. Pike and the Enterprise crew are back and there's no easing back into this one. We'll be digging into all the fallout from last season's cliffhanger, exploring how the show handled the return to the Gorn conflict and whether the emotional stakes lived up to the build-up. Did Pike make the right call? Was the rescue worth the cost? And what does this episode signal for the rest of the season? We've definitely got thoughts. Of course, it wouldn't be Trek Geeks without some hot takes, speculation, and your live comments fueling the chaos. This is a *spoiler-filled* discussion, so if you haven't seen the episode yet, maybe warp out and come back after. But if you have watched, grab a drink, fire up the viewscreen, and join us as we kick off another season of SNW with the passion only Trek Geeks can deliver.

This week I cover the first 6 episodes of season 3 of SNW and more. Enjoy!

Get ready for our Deep Dive Discussion on this week's Frakes-directed episode of Strange New Worlds!

With Strange New Worlds boldly going where no one has gone before, rumors are swirling that co-creator Akiva Goldsman wants to continue where The Original Series left off. But what would that actually look like?On this week's episode of Strange New Pod, the crew breaks down what we'd want — and not want — from a potential TOS continuation. Would it take place before “The Man Trap”? After “Turnabout Intruder”? Could it even pick up post-The Motion Picture? And what about the characters we haven't seen yet in SNW, like Bones, Sulu, Chekov, and Yeoman Rand? We talk casting, timeline possibilities, tone, and where a new series like this could, and should, fit into Trek canon.

TEX-TREK Mission 336: STAR TREK: TOS's "Arena" Back-Trekking RetrospectiveThis week Dave returns to the show to join Fatheree and Taylor for a Back-Trekking Retrospective on one of the most iconic episodes of TOS—the classic showdown between Kirk and the Gorn in “Arena.” With STRANGE NEW WORLDS season 3 just around the corner—and set to kick off with a Gorn-centric story—we're taking a close look at the original appearance of Star Trek's infamous lizard foe. Can the slow-moving, hissy Gorn of 1967 really line up with the terrifying predators of SNW? We're putting the canon under the microscope and asking: is there a way to make it all fit? Tune in for our analysis, our theories, and opinions on rhinestone-bedazzled reptile eyes.As always, available in both video and audio-only formats.Watch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mcixed-8vEGet RSS feed:https://anchor.fm/s/f37edb0c/podcast/rssApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tex-trek/id1495605753?uo=4Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6mdZ030Klldxwn7SSc5PKp?si=3BOqsbQER9Ssfppqk7lofQ&fbclid=IwAR1M1uH_xBE1lYWcwQocoDzjoVSsLmCgBt08TCEYAltwIH3MPC0S60bMCsEJoin our Discord server:https://discord.gg/YXPeRyQh7ySupport us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/txtrekStar Trek: The Original Series, Season 1 Episode 19"Arena"Teleplay by Gene L.
