But what does it all mean, maman?We're talking about all of the OTOY/Roddenberry Archive shorts up to the latest, Unification, as well as the extended media that inspired the content from the shorts such as William Shatner's "Return" novels, the Marvel Star Trek: Early Voyages story that introduced the Well of Tomorrows and gave us Yeoman Colt's serial number (765874), Star Trek #400, and the novel "Vulcan Heart" as well as give our thoughts about this short and what it might mean.765874 https://youtu.be/Ng8qTIythnA765874 - Memory Wall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzeznWVQu5o765874 - Regeneration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KXU2Ob8gYY765874 - Unification https://youtu.be/mgOZFny7F50Hosts:David C.

Spock Amok (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, S1 E5) was recommended by Lauren Rivers she/her, who said: Two words. Enterprise Bingo. I seriously hope that the writer of this episode got a bonus for that. Casually mentioned in an earlier episode, now we finally find out about this little game played by the junior officers, fully demonstrated by Una and La'an, the ships resident 'fun killers'.I love when Star Trek has fun with itself, and this episode does such a great job with it in every aspect. From giving Dr. M'Benga a hard time for his awesome hat to the awesome subplot with the Rongovians, this not only makes me laugh but gives every single member of the cast the chance to shine.I also love this episode for giving us 'The Scorch', a hull panel on the outside of the ship signed by the crew. It's a great episode all around and seeing Pike finally figure out what the Rongovians are after is supremely satisfying.While I love every episode of Strange New Worlds, this one just fills me with unbridled joy every time.Spock Amok first aired on June 2, 2022, written by Henry Alonso Myers & Robin Wasserman, and directed by Rachel LeitermanA personal visit causes a comedy of errors during Spock & Pike's crucial negotiations with an unusual alien species.The 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

Wiz RECOMMENDS Star Trek Beyond Whereas the 2009 Reboot and Star Trek Into Darkness made characters one of it's key focuses, Star Trek Beyond decides on a more comfortable, if not safe, route in storytelling. Star Trek Beyond feels much more like a popcorn action flick where the characters and their developments are simple and thin. They basically feel more like The Next Generation movies: the depth was in previous stories, this is just them on a new adventure. Now, in this instance I was already familiar with the characters, so enjoying these characters wasn't anywhere near as hard. But it feels like a huge step back when you get to know characters like Kirk and Spock in this iteration. But since this is a popcorn movie, that means no other characters get added depth to make them feel more fleshed out. They are as they were in the previous two films. This also is doubly true with the companion Jaylah, played by Sofia Boutella and the villain Krall, played in heavy makeup by Idris Elba. Neither character is interesting in anyway, but they also don't exactly hurt the film...they are just there to move the plot along. But as a popcorn movie, Star Trek Beyond is solid. Action sequences are fun with some good visuals. Set pieces are well done enough to keep the viewer entertained. But the planet the film is based on (a planet I can't even bother to remember the name of) is also not that interesting and just feels like a slab of rocks and non-descript mountains. Finally, the film goes on a little too long for its own good. At about two hours, you'd think that it's the right amount of time for a Star Trek film since many of them hit that mark or even higher. But the lack of character development and growth just means it meanders into more exposition to get into action sequences. If I'm being honest, Star Trek Beyond is a fine enough time to kill two hours. But compared to the reboot and Into Darkness, it's a marked step down when it comes to characters and story.

The amazing, fantastic Wrath of Khan is followed up by...a kinda cheap, sloppy retcon? Sadly that is the case as we review "ST III: The Search for Spock" ! While the crew pulls off the prototype 'Starfleet has no security' heist, Doc Klingon Brown and his lads show up for some Cold War allegory.
Episode 140 - Books for Dads - The Most Human, Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy by Adam NimoyAdam was born during the Eisenhower administration to Leonard and Sandra Zoberblatt Nimoy. He attended the University Elementary School, a “lab school” run by UCLA, where he was subjected to numerous psychological experiments. The experimentation continued at UC Berkeley in the form of mind-altering substances from which he may, or may not, have fully recovered. In a state of absolute certainty, Adam attended Loyola Law School. He was wrong. After seven years of practicing entertainment law and one moment of clarity, Adam left his life as an attorney to follow his passion of making films. After directing forty-five hours of network television, some of it sublime, some of it eminently unwatchable, Adam's career plummeted due in large part to drug and alcohol addiction. On January 1, 2004, Adam entered 12-Step recovery hoping to achieve an attitude adjustment. This was a New Year's resolution he knew he had to keep. For 8 years, he taught writing, directing and acting at the New York Film Academy and taught filmmaking at Beit T'Shuvah, an addiction treatment center where the residents kept him on the straight and narrow.Book: The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy"Engaging and immensely relatable, while at the same time offering deeply profound insights into Adam Nimoy's personal relationships, particularly with his famous father." — Eugene Roddenberry Jr., CEO Roddenberry Entertainment Living with Dad was like living with a stranger— as a kid I often had trouble connecting and relating to him. But I was always proud of him. Even before Star Trek I'd see him popping up in bit roles on some of my favorite TV shows like Get Smart, Sea Hunt, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. And then one night he brought home Polaroids of himself in makeup and wardrobe for a pilot he was working on. It was December 1964 and nobody had heard of Star Trek. Still, the eight-year-old me had watched enough Outer Limits and My Favorite Martian to understand exactly what I was looking at. Spock's popularity happened quickly, and soon the fan magazines were writing about dad's personal life, characterizing us as a "close family." But the awkwardness that defined our early relationship blossomed into conflict, sometimes smoldering, sometimes open and intense. There were occasional flashes of warmth between the arguments and hurt feelings— even something akin to love— especially when we were celebrating my father's many successes. The rest of the time, things between us were often strained. My resentment towards my father kept building through the years. I wasn't blameless, I know that now, but my bitterness blinded me to any thought of my own contribution to the problem. I wanted things to be different for my children. I wanted to be the father I never had, so I coached Maddy's soccer, drove Jonah to music lessons, helped them with their homework— all the things dads are supposed to do. All the things I wanted to do. So what if my Dad and I had been estranged for years? I was living one day at a time. And then I got his letter. That marked a turning point in our lives, a moment that cleared the way for a new relationship between us.Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3KvTi1shttps://adamnimoy.com/___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot SessionsSong: The Big Ten
Even Mr. Spock would find it logical for a human to pursue the good in its own best interests, and that it is illogical, illogical all the way to insanity, to refuse the good, to refuse what is best for you. It's a manifestation of insanity, to refuse the love of God. I've noticed that many modern people seem to think of God as a yin-yang type of completion, that is, where evil balances good, where darkness is necessary to balance light, where the purpose of humanity, or what happens here in humanity, is that we are instantiating strife and struggle and evil for the teaching of God, for the completion of God. That is not right. That's wrong theology, folks. Our God is all goodness, and there is no evil that emanates from God.
Wiz RECOMMENDS Star Trek Into Darkness Star Trek Into Darkness has all of the things that made the reboot film good: it has a great cast with great characters continuing their adventures and arcs in a satisfyingly entertaining film. This goes doubly for Zachary Quinto as Spock, who is furthering the depth of the Vulcan with his struggle between being both Vulcan and Human. The charm and the likability of these characters are just as good as they were in the previous film...if not more so. ...until the end of the first act that is. After that, the film screeches into a thriller/drama halt that, as entertaining as it is, seems to falter in its self-seriousness. Mind you, the thriller aspects are pretty good: the action is exciting and the plot moves along to keep these aspects of the film engaging. It's the drama portion that doesn't work quite as well: the drama with Spock and everyone else is done well, but the relationship between Pike and Kirk? Not so much. In fact, the drama with Kirk feels a tad forced. What also doesn't work? The villain of the film, John Harrison, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Wait wait...that's not exactly true. Cumberbatch as Harrison is actually pretty good. He does well in the action parts of the film and plays a very calculated and cold killer quite well. -----SPOILERS FOR Star Trek Into Darkness STARTS HERE--------- When the villain becomes a problem is when it is revealed who John Harrison really is: Khan. Then...things get slippery real fast. Now, it is true that they have to change up characters in a reboot to make it feel fresh...but there are aspects of Cumberbatch's Khan that doesn't fit right. Lack of charisma, how stone faced his performance is...how much he plays TOO WELL into the supervillain role. Ricardo Montalban's performance led you to believe he could lead and people would want to, despite being a sneering, despicable villain. Cumberbatch really doesn't. On top of that, the film likes to reference The Wrath of Khan way too much...and none of it really fits well with the rest of the film. ---------SPOILERS END-------------- This leads to a weird result with the film: it's good only in the parts that remind you of the reboot film. But when it reminds you of what's in the spoiler section, it actually feels a lot messier than it needs to. The result is a film that will entertain you with it's heroes' plight but will make you shake your head when it leads to the villain.
Even Mr. Spock would find it logical for a human to pursue the good in its own best interests, and that it is illogical, illogical all the way to insanity, to refuse the good, to refuse what is best for you. It's a manifestation of insanity, to refuse the love of God. I've noticed that many modern people seem to think of God as a yin-yang type of completion, that is, where evil balances good, where darkness is necessary to balance light, where the purpose of humanity, or what happens here in humanity, is that we are instantiating strife and struggle and evil for the teaching of God, for the completion of God. That is not right. That's wrong theology, folks. Our God is all goodness, and there is no evil that emanates from God.
In honor of Star Trek's Jeri Taylor, we look back on her landmark career and revisit some of her most memorable episodes of The Next Generation and Voyager. She helped bring Spock to Picard and introduced audiences to Captain Kathryn Janeway, and both the franchise and its fans are all the better for it and her considerable contributions.

60 years ago, a pilot for Star Trek began filming. Would it be a success, or would it fall flat and not get picked up. The answer to both is YES! This week we look back at the original series and some of our favorite moments on Enjoy Stuff! Let's look back at the beginnings of one of the most successful franchises to ever be created. Beam up for Star Trek, the Original Series.

Sci-Fi Saturdays This week Sci-Fi Saturdays returns. Jay examines the 2007 space movie Sunshine. The movie is about a group of astronauts that are reigniting the sun, but what's more interesting is the impressive cast.

Wiz HIGHLY RECOMMENDS Star Trek (2009) The reboot of Star Trek was my first experience with the franchise. Not sure exactly what brought me to give it a chance, but I ended up liking the film for it's good action, characters and charm. Nothing special but definitely good. After watching the films based on The Original Series and The Next Generation, I was actually surprised how much more I liked it from my first viewing. Firstly, it's actually incredibly impressive how right the casting was for this movie. Every character, from Kirk and Spock to Chekov and Scotty, has the right look and person portraying the character with the right twist to differentiate itself from the original cast. What also was done incredibly well was the differences in character development. Kirk's arc is pretty typical: rebel who is ignored and held back until he proves himself worthy of his station. Bones plays the sidekick but he's much more sarcastic and negative. But the portrayal of Spock by Zachary Quinto was incredibly well done. Leonard Nimoy in the movies seemed to not struggle so much with his human side: he almost seemed inflapable. But the way young Spock is written, as well as portrayed by Quinto, shows the actual struggle of being half Vulcan and Human, leading to very interesting developments in his character and making him feel much more identifiable. And what also works very well is Nimoy as Ambassador Spock. To have Nimoy as old Spock would be a shaky move, but they do one thing with his character that's a great move: make him more expressive. It sounds odd, but having Nimoy as Spock smile expressively (with his teeth, mind you!) is actually a great sign of character growth that makes his Spock seem more interesting. This film also uses the formula of the best Star Trek films: a great mix of humor, action and drama spread incredibly well. All of the characters have their moments of comedy and drama which makes attaching yourself to them even easier. Finally, the visuals and special effects are excellent. The action in the movie, whether it's hand-to-hand or ship combat, is exciting and fun. Whether it's the landscapes of planets or ships, locations look great as the film is moving forward... ...except for the actual Enterprise. I'm not sure why this decision was made, but why is the Enterprise so damn bright? The bridge itself looks devoid of character which was something that even Next Generation had. And my God the lens flares. Why are there so many damn lens flares? Or overly bright scenes where the whiteness obscures the scene? But man, a second viewing of Star Trek after experiencing the older movies made me realize how much the remake did right. From characters to action, Star Trek is a great time but when you have the memory and knowledge from previous movies, it's an absolute treat. This is, quite possibly, one of the best reboots of a franchise.

Dust off your illegal VHS tapes and be prepared to write a strongly worded letter to Points of View because we're back with the second part of our ‘Banned by the Beeb' two-parter looking at three more episodes of Star Trek that suffered the wrath of British censorship. We're back with three episodes, the final two banned TOS episodes, starting with ‘The Empath' where William Shatner has to do some Dark Place style slow-motion running and McCoy definitely violates some medical practices as our latest butt-headed aliens the Vians pull out the chains and then with ‘Whom Gods Destroy' where Kirk and Spock are repeatedly taken in and out of rooms and forced to ask chess questions by a mad-man in mismatched boots. Which episode is more controversial- SHOOT THEM BOTH, SPOCK! But after that, the fun and hijinks go away with ‘The High Ground,' a TNG episode banned due to a line about Irish Reunification and Miles and Charlie find themselves having to ponder the age old question, can a show written, produced and made by Americans talk about how fighting for independence against oppressive colonialist Imperialism and somehow seem to conclude that it's a bad thing, actually. Or, as Miles' wife Reanna said as she watched the episode with him ‘Gosh, this has aged well.' There are some things we can try to make fun, not everything. Episodes discussed: ‘The Empath' (11:37), ‘Whom Gods Destroy' (42:59) and ‘The High Ground (01:08:30) Talking Points Include: THEY PUT BABY SUPERMAN IN A MICROWAVE?!?!, Judge Dredd killing the Jolly Green Giant, dialogue censorship in American comics, Miles' 12th Wedding Anniversary is a good excuse to go off on how amazing the film ‘Lifeforce' is, Alex Garland's ‘Annihilation,' Patrick Stewart's first movie kiss, Charlie has a physical subscript to 2000 AD (Lucky Bugger, Miles has to do digital), 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Megazine, SHIFT Magazine that Charlie has a story in, Alan Moore's ‘The March of the Sinister Ducks,' Miles tries his empathic powers, the three different alien physicalities of Star Trek, DeForest Kelley's favourite episode, Hurt/Comfort fanfic, sometimes you can tell that the cast know the show's getting cancelled soon, the Cenobites would hate dealing with Starfleet, old make-up techniques, how the characters have become less real over the first three seasons, William Shatner doing his slow-mo running, the British hatred of Morris Men and all they stand for, how a lot of modern comedy lacks actual stakes, The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones, Jeff knows what he's done, Yvonne Craig (TV's Batgirl) as a dancing girl, Mental Health doesn't work how Star Trek thinks it works, lots of shouting, oh God more Am-Dram, Legion of Super-Heroes, did Wayne's World ruin the name ‘Garth?' Double-Nerve Pinch, ‘Pointy-Eared Bum Head!'Garth's really bad Glam-Rock band, did the BBC have a point? Power-Mad-Starbucks Supervisors, padding, Kylie Minogue, Michael Bolton, where do Americans know Kylie Monogue from? the Troubles, the IRA's attempt to assassinate Thatcher in the 80s (in Miles and Charlie's hometown no less!), Picard is unable to answer the important question ‘What is terrorism?' and ‘but doesn't terrorism occasionally work for good outcomes?', does Magneto have a point? Imperialism, Colonialism, Centrists are the worst, it really stops being fun talking points for The High Ground, the actor playing Finn seems to be going for a Jack Nicholson-esque drawl to sound dangerous, but he just sounds utterly checked out. And sometimes Star Trek. Pedants Corner: ‘Neighbours' was a long running Australian soap-opera that would air in the 5:30 timeslot Monday-Friday evening BBC 1 slot after the kids' programming ended and before the 6 o'Clock News.

This week's theme? Frustrating world-building.Mystery of a Thousand Moons feels like a latter day George Lucas episode: a follow-up ep shoehorning in unrelated thematics that never gel. It also features a young boy. Filoni and co. seemingly grit their teeth during the Filoni Zoni for the BTS, so you know we talk about it.For Lights of Zetar, we talk about the gaslighting of our protagonist in the ep. Which is funny, because the episode is literally about empowerment.And Kenny meets his new favorite character.__________________________________Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspodWatch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspodTheme by Tosin AwofesoSocial Media:https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspodhttps://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.socialWant to ask us questions?

So the 2009 reboot actually did pretty well, the Kelvin timeline has been established, time to really go out there and oh never mind it's a lame "Wrath of Khan" rehash. With a white Khan. And an ultra-objectified Carol Marcus. And Kirk and Spock are mad at each other for...reasons? Still a better 9/11 "Trek" than "Enterprise", tho. Also this week: simply confusing, the hero's journey (?), and the worst science yet!
The hell we are covering the rest of Star Trek IV The Voyage Home in this episode of Holodeck Divas. The whales have been found but Kirk and Spock have to figure out the best time to take them. Scotty and Bones are giving away the secrets of the future, and Chekov gets in trouble. A lot happens in this movie! Listen to hear what the divas have to say!
The Forsaken (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9), S1 E17) was recommended by Rugger (They/them), who said: The Forsaken has its problems as an episode, including that Troi's advances are uncomfortable to watch. But in all of Trek, there is no more emotionally raw, powerful, and moving scene than in The Forsaken. Odo and Lwaxwana are stuck in the elevator, and Odo has to revert into his natural liquid state—and he has to trust Lwaxana to do it.This is Trek at its best: taking something fundamentally alien and using it to humanize a character. Almost every other time an alien evokes such pathos, they are being human—as Kirk says of Spock, "he was the most human."Odo's character arc is one of the best in Trek, and this episode starts it off with the most unique, iconic, and moving scene that I can think of in all sci-fi, while also developing a a character who was previously only comedic relief.The Forsaken first aired on January 18, 1993, written by story by Jim Trombetta, teleplay by Don Carlos Dunaway and Michael Piller, and directed by Les LandauThe Federation ambassador from Betazed, Lwaxana Troi, visits the station, and develops an affection for Odo. Meanwhile, data from a mysterious Gamma Quadrant probe causes system failures on DS9.The 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

Counselor Troi wakes up as a Romulan and must immediately become badass or die. You see, she's been benevolently kidnapped by a Romulan friend of Spock's ... kind of. Meanwhile on the Enterprise, a traitor of the Federation who had defected to Romulus, comes back to deliver a message. They've got to go to some coordinates for a very important delivery. Troi verbally duels with Commander Toreth of the Romulan ship, and together they slay Bechdel in a Test of Tense Space Combat. Troi's best episode, which is something to celebrate.

The immense beauty of Sedona is matched only by its strangeness. For decades, people have reported encountering unexplained phenomena and supernatural creatures in the area.

We discuss the efforts of a new researcher who is investigating the ongoing enigma of a possible dimensional gateway said to exist in Sedona.
