SAM is not okay, maman. In fact, no one is. Gotta call in Tilly, maman. DO a little Our Town. Emily can't come back, but Tarima can. But what if there are two ghost girls? It's a Real Life tearjerker, maman.

This episode's podcast opens in classic “remote field-ops Starfleet” mode: the crew is improvising a studio in a bar that is very, very closed, while laptops threaten mutiny and someone apparently parkours over the bar like it's an Olympic event. The vibe is equal parts professional panel and feral away team, and it sets the tone: you're here for deep Trek feelings, but you're also here for the comedy that happens when real life refuses to stay out of your broadcast. Once the microphones stop smoking, everyone zooms in on what Episode 7 is doing structurally: stacking character moments like carefully placed tricorders so that when the season finally fires a photon torpedo, the audience actually cares who's on the blast radius. Bubba Joe, Bek, ChicagoHearts, and Griffin circle the same big takeaway: the show's character foundation is working, and it feels like the season is winding a spring for a bigger pay-off soon. Then, because this is your crew, the discussion detours into a surprisingly passionate movie corner: Top Gun comparisons, Iceman-as-character-template, and the kind of hot take energy that could power a warp core for at least a week. That comedy isn't filler though, it's their way of translating what they see on-screen into pop-culture shorthand: who's layered, who's performative, who's hiding their real engine under a shiny hull. From there, the conversation gets meatier: Darum's storyline, the “abduction tradition” angle, and whether the episode teased a clean exit or just dangled the possibility like a redshirt-shaped piñata. The hosts weigh whether the season is actually willing to “lose” someone significant, or whether it prefers emotional loss, identity loss, trust loss, the slow-motion kind that hurts longer than a quick dramatic death. The emotional center of the back half is relationships and trauma, specifically the Tarima-Caleb-Genesis triangle and the consequences of what happened during the crisis. They dig into why Tarima hasn't reached out (shame, fear, and that last interaction that ended badly), and they spiral into the bigger sci-fi question: how did Tarima's power hit the whole ship, and was Caleb the conduit that made it possible? Along the way you get the hilarious “is that flirting?” courtroom segment, complete with social psychology and friendly roasting.  Finally, the show shifts into rapid-fire mode: “what breaks next week,” who's most likely to carry trauma forward, and what the season's endgame might be with only a few episodes left. The sign-off lands as a warm, chaotic victory lap: gratitude for the live audience, gratitude for each other, and a recap of the day's technical battle scars, including a memorable metaphor involving a litter box that will absolutely haunt Griffin's legacy in the most loving way possible.   00:55 – “We're not even allowed to be here” tech scramble begins 05:09 – First reactions: strong character moments, season building toward something big 09:22 – The Top Gun / Iceman detour (and the “Titanic is great?” argument) 13:36 – Darum's “abduction tradition” and whether he ever had a plan 17:49 – Was the Darum moment an exit fake-out… or foreshadowing for later? 22:03 – Stakes check: who's in danger, and what “loss” even means this season 26:16 – Character focus and pacing: what the episode prioritizes, what it skips 30:30 – Trauma + aftermath talk starts to sharpen: what the show is really “about” right now 34:43 – Relationship radar: Caleb, Tarima, and Genesis tension starts flashing 38:57 – “Is that flirting?” debate and the social logic of bringing up “the girlfriend” 43:10 – Why Tarima hasn't reached out: shame, fear, and that last ugly interaction 47:24 – The “Furies” thread: how her powers worked, and whether Caleb was the conduit 51:37 – Genesis deep dive: pressure, control tendencies, and what her “big secret” really means 55:51 – Impostor syndrome (or not): defining what Genesis is actually wrestling with 1:00:04 – Rapid-fire “what breaks next week?” and the PTSD/aftermath implications 1:04:18 – Predictions begin: villains, fallout, and who cracks under pressure first 1:08:31 – Relationship predictions: Tarima/Caleb trajectory, breakup odds, two-parter theories 1:12:45 – More “next week” bets (and the running gag of who's paying attention) 1:16:58 – Final prediction round: Griffin missing the moment, chaos math hits 100% 1:21:12 – Closing gratitude + “we did it live” survival recap (litter box included)

Welcome back to Transporter Room 3, as we delve into the mid-season Starfleet Academy episodes "Come, Let's Away," "Ko'Zeine," and "The Life of the Stars" -- aka the one with the USS Miyazaki, the one with the wedding, and the one where Tilly comes back!We also pay tribute this week to a lost soul from the Dominion War.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy In this new entry to the Star Trek canon we are boldly going, once again, to the far flung future and this time we are heading to the strange new world that is… high school? In a beguiling move for the Star Trek franchise we have shifted focus from exploring the stars with highly competent adults to exploring the interpersonal drama of teenagers. Is it “Skins in space”? Or is it “Beverly Hills: Star-date 90210”? Live long and prosper fellow kids! Your faculty for this semester are PE teacher Dion, combo Maths and Science maven Jill, and cool, acessible, student counsellor Quinny who is just a bit too casual, ya know?

Okay, maman, so Jay-Den is Darem's Ko'Zeine, but will he co-sign this Khionian lifestyle design? We also have warp slugs, altered recommendation letters, and long, lingering silences that are sure to cause rifts! 

On this third installment of Febwhaleary we take a look at perhaps the largest acrobats in the sea: the humpback whale. Known for their extraordinary feats of agility, as well as a complex series of songs that they sing to one another, the humpbacks were truly one of the most graceful creatures ever to inhabit the oceans. Unfortunately, the humpbacks would be hunted to extinction in the early 21st century…or so we thought. To understand the fate of the humpbacks, one must look not into the future…but into the past. The year 1986; using a stolen Klingon bird of prey, a group of disgraced Starfleet officers from the 23rd century would travel backwards through time to save, not only the humpbacks, but indeed all of humanity from extinction. The following is a dramatization of those events that we like to call Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we lay down a series of colorful metaphors are fellow cinephiles and life long members of the Cetacean Institute in Sausalito, Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.Topics of discussion in this episode include the Enterprise crew's laissez faire attitude towards time travel; we analyze where the alien space probe falls on the Bristol Stool Scale; and finally, we break down the age old fallacy of the odd numbered Trek's being shit.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, Follow Us on Instagram, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.comAnd with the whales safely transported to the 23rd century, this leg of our voyage is now over. When Febwhaleary concludes, we'll be taking a look at one of the rarest whale species on the planet…the Comeback Whale, as we watch Darren Aronofsky's 2022 Oscar Winner, The Whale.

Starfleet's very own "miracle worker" is celebrated this week on an extremely special episode of TrekRanks. It's the "Top 5 Scotty Episodes" as we highlight one of the most popular characters in the history of Star Trek, portrayed now across TOS, the Kelvin Timeline and Strange New Worlds by James Doohan, Simon Pegg and Martin Quinn. From b-story, third-in-command triumphs to engineering heroics, our panel of host Jim Moorhouse and uber-Scotty fans Jenn Tifft and Daniel Martin have every corner covered of this deep-dive analysis. The haggis is surely in the fire for this one! Episode Rundown: Diagnostic Cycle: It's never a dull moment, when we go through our roll call of past "character deep dive episodes" (this is the 22nd!). Prime Directive: Each guest on this week's panel reveals exactly how they narrowed down their list and made their final choices, and everyone reveals their one-word to help define Engineer Montgomery Scott, and one of our panelists reveals an extremely personal connection to their affinity for the miracle worker. The Order of Things: All the picks are revealed with the TrekRanks' original "Five words and a hashtag" summary. Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list. Regeneration Cycle: The panel recaps their picks and we dissect some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion. Temporal Inversion: We flashback to a previous episode of TrekRanks and relay some of the feedback received from listeners. If you have your own picks you would like to relay to us, please hail us at 757-828-RANK (7265) and record your own personal TrekRanks log to let us know your Top 5 Scotty Episodes.

Talk about the Star Fleet Battles Emergency Deceleration rule

A Cadet at a Crossroads  In this Trek Tuesday Thursday Special, Tony Zoomed with George Hawkins, the performer behind Darem Reymi on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Episode seven marks a turning point for Darem — a moment where the young cadet must confront a life‑altering decision that will shape not only his future, but his place within Starfleet itself.  Inside the Episode Seven Deep Dive George and Tony explore: The internal conflict between personal desire and Starfleet responsibility A Klingon Connection: Jay-Den and the Power of Unlikely Friendships One of the most intriguing threads this season has been Darem's dynamic with his Klingon classmate Jay-Den. War Games, Rivalries, and Leadership Under Pressure George also reflects on the standout episode where Darem unexpectedly leads the cadets in a war game against the War College — a storyline sparked by a series of escalating practical jokes between the two groups.

After our Mission Log Reactor recap of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Episode 6, "Come, Let's Away," we opened the channel, and our Star Trek Pals delivered. This week's live discussion dives deep into the moral calculus of trusting Nus Braka (again), whether Starfleet's diplomacy still works in a fractured galaxy, and if the Federation's reputation for paternalism is something it simply can't shake. Callers unpack Ake's choices, debate whether letting the villain monologue is negotiation or naïveté, and question whether Starfleet has truly learned to meet other cultures where they are. Along the way, we get sharp psychological analysis, comparisons to Janeway and the Borg, musings on Shakespeare references, comic book lore in a post-Burn galaxy, and the eternal question: how much premise-swallowing is too much premise-swallowing? This is Mission Log Live: thoughtful disagreement, sharp insight, a few laughs, and space to wrestle with the bigger ideas behind the action.   Watch our initial reactions on Mission Log: Reactor: youtube.com/@MissionLogPodcasts (Patreon members get Reactor a day early!)   Join us Mondays for Mission Log Live, our audience call-in talkback show.

Starfleet Academy isn't playing it safe anymore. After a shocking dark turn, we ask: Is it enough to save the show's struggling ratings?

Fire up your singularity drive, maman! It's time for the tiny fireflies because there are Furies who hate being Furies and they're in pain all the time, maman. It's rough! Plus there are twists and stuff being pulled out of necks and some rough revelations about sons and the sacrifices people make along the way! Powerful episode, maman!

Episode 6 of Starfleet Academy delivers one of the most tonally distinct installments of the season, shifting from collegiate character drama into full psychological thriller and survival horror. The podcast opens with immediate high energy, framing the episode as a major turning point — one that blends classic Trek moral dilemmas with modern cinematic tension. The panel quickly agrees: this is the episode where the show proves it can operate at franchise stakes. The early discussion centers on the controversial opening sequence involving Caleb and Tarima. While romantic development has been building, the telepathic boundary violation sparks debate about trust, consent, and Betazoid psychology. The hosts explore how this tension isn't just interpersonal drama — it foreshadows the emotional decisions both characters must make under life-or-death pressure later in the episode. Once the cadets board the derelict USS Miyazaki, the tone pivots hard into horror. The abandoned post-Burn experimental vessel becomes a graveyard setting — dark corridors, failing systems, and an ever-present sense of dread. The introduction of the Furies raises the stakes immediately. Their cannibalistic nature, hybrid physiology, and predatory tactics create a new kind of enemy — less political, more primal — evoking comparisons to the Vidiians or even Reavers in tone. The hostage scenario and airlock sequence form the episode's action centerpiece. The cadets' inexperience shows early, but they evolve rapidly under pressure. A key moment highlighted in the podcast is the sacrifice of their commanding officer, which forces the cadets to step into leadership roles prematurely. This trial-by-fire dynamic reinforces the show's core theme: Starfleet officers aren't born — they're forged in crisis. Sam's bridge sequence becomes the emotional and technological high point. Tasked with restoring fragmented ship systems, she demonstrates not just computational superiority but personal agency. The panel reads this as a pivotal evolution in her arc — choosing to risk herself for organics, further complicating her loyalty to her creators. Her eventual injury adds philosophical weight: even artificial life can bear scars of trust. The episode closes with wider implications for the season. Nus Braka's looming presence, the emergence of the Furies, and the cadets' accelerated growth all point toward a larger coordinated threat. The hosts speculate that Episode 6 may represent the “Empire Strikes Back” tonal shift of the season — where youthful optimism gives way to the harsh realities of command, sacrifice, and war.   00:01 – Cold open, hype reactions, and spoiler warning for Episode 6 03:20 – Panel introductions and first impressions of the episode 06:10 – Opening romance scene and early character tension 09:05 – Caleb & Tarima relationship analysis and emotional stakes 12:00 – Betazoid abilities and telepathic boundary debate 15:10 – Away mission briefing and training exercise setup 18:20 – Boarding the USS Miyazaki and mission objectives 21:30 – Post-Burn warp lore and ship disaster backstory 24:40 – First appearance of the Furies and threat assessment 27:50 – Horror tone shift and haunted-ship atmosphere 31:00 – Airlock standoff and hand-to-hand combat breakout 34:15 – Tactical coordination and cadet crisis response 37:30 – Leadership contrast: War College vs Academy cadets 40:45 – Lieutenant Commander sacrifice and protocol analysis 44:00 – Bridge lockdown and survival strategy planning 47:10 – Sam begins computer restoration under pressure 50:20 – “1200 files” moment and Sam's hero sequence 53:40 – Comic lore tie-in and Miyazaki historical context 56:50 – Ship systems reboot and turning the tide 01:00:00 – Cadets regain control and tactical regroup 01:04:10 – Genesis & Darum bridge command dynamics 01:08:25 – Leadership growth and teamwork evolution 01:12:40 – Athena ship response and search coordination 01:16:55 – Furry threat escalation and hostage stakes 01:21:05 – Rescue strategy and multi-team execution 01:25:20 – Final confrontation buildup 01:29:35 – Climactic battle and survival resolution 01:33:50 – Nus Braka implications and villain framing 01:37:40 – Sam's injuries and EMH medical response 01:41:10 – Character fallout and emotional aftermath 01:44:00 – Season arc theories and “big bad” speculation 01:46:00 – Final ratings, closing thoughts, and sign-off

The final season of "Discovery" starts with a bang in "Red Directive"!

But the might of Starfleet is apparently no match for a couple of kids with a spaceship, somehow. Also this week: Temu Data, cherries and Green Lanterns, and TOS is in LOOOOOOOOOOVE!

Star Trek Starfleet Acadeny is a total disaster by Im Not Famous

As a cadet sets out to solve an ancient Starfleet mystery, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and learns the value of forging her own path. Meanwhile, Nahla agrees to help a fellow chancellor with an elaborate alien ritual.

This week's episode had everything: halftime show skepticism, aquatic conspiracy theories, holographic ethics, and a little too much time in the Wasteland. We may have skipped science again… but we made up for it with sharks and Starfleet. Real Life Devon: Safe Bets and Stadium Spectacles Devon kicked things off with the Super Bowl halftime show — Green Day and Bad Bunny sharing the stage. The big question: was Green Day the safe choice? Are legacy punk bands the NFL's version of comfort food? Reliable. Recognizable. Not too disruptive. Devon wrestles with whether the performance felt bold or carefully calculated — and what that says about the league's broader decision-making. It's less about music and more about cultural positioning. When the biggest stage in America picks its soundtrack, what are they really trying to say? Ben: Jaws, Mayors, and Weresharks Ben watched Jaws with his son, and instead of simply enjoying the terror of a seaside predator, he zeroed in on the real villain: The mayor. What exactly is going on with this guy? Ben proposes several theories: Is the mayor the shark? Is the shark a metaphor? Is this some kind of Ice Nine Kills-style symbolic horror? Or… is the mayor secretly a wereshark? The conversation spirals in the best way possible. Spoiler alert: they don't get a bigger boat. Ben also makes a strong case that Starfleet Academy is not for everyone — but it is for him. That leads to a deep dive into holograms in Star Trek. Some holograms are "hard light" and physically interactive. The Doctor in Voyager was designed for short-term use… and then just kept going. What does that mean philosophically? Legally? Spiritually? And somewhere in there, Ben cautiously circles around the fate of Captain Sisko. Steven: Fallout Season 2 — A Love Letter or a Stall? Steven brings us back to the Wasteland with thoughts on the Fallout Season 2 finale. Devon, generally, is not thrilled. The season lacked momentum. The pacing felt uneven. Something didn't quite land. Steven counters with a structural theory: The three main characters represent different player archetypes. Different play styles. Different moral approaches to the same broken world. He also notes something important: there were a lot of Easter eggs. A LOT. For longtime game veterans, it was a treasure hunt. For casual viewers? Probably noise. Steven's bigger hypothesis: Season 1: Establish the world and characters. Season 2: The creators indulge in their favorite corners of the setting. Season 3: (Hopefully) we move into entirely new territory not tied to a specific game. If that happens, the show might finally become its own thing. Future or Now There was, once again, too much Fallout talk. Science gets skipped. Again. We promise nothing for next week. Book Club Next Week: "Liar!" by Isaac Asimov Read it here: https://lecturia.org/en/short-stories/isaac-asimov-liar/23933/ Classic Asimov. Robots. Logic. Emotional complications. You know the drill. This Week: "The Orchard Village Catalog" by Parker Peevyhouse https://strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fiction/the-orchard-village-catalog/ Reactions were mixed — but thoughtful. Ben: Loved the realistic corporate nonsense. Found it creepy and fascinating. Devon: Felt it might be too open-ended, but still enjoyed it. Steven: Didn't fully "get it," but appreciated the quality of the writing. Which, honestly, is sometimes the best kind of sci-fi discussion — confusion paired with admiration. Between halftime show politics, aquatic conspiracies, holographic sentience, and post-apocalyptic pacing debates, this episode covered a lot of ground. If you've got thoughts on safe Super Bowl picks, weresharks, or where Fallout should go next, we want to hear them. And maybe next week… we'll finally talk about science.

Our latest Spotlight Series episode brings us to TNG's "The Wounded", highlighting Captain Benjamin Maxwell. After being fired upon by a Cardassian ship, Captain Picard is told that a Cardassian outpost has allegedly been destroyed by a Federation ship, the USS Phoenix under the command of Captain Benjamin Maxwell. He is ordered to do everything necessary to keep the peace treaty with the Cardassians in tact. With the help of Miles Edward O'Brien, the Enterprise attempts to stop Captain Maxwell from going rogue, in an effort to avoid starting another war.

Class is in session at Starfleet Academy—and we've got thoughts. This week, we're joined by friends of the pod Leigh Ellen and Alex to dig into the characters shaping Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, from the power players at the top to the cadets just beginning their Starfleet journeys. We break down leadership styles, messy brilliance, and the kind of character choices that tell you exactly what kind of future this show is building. On the command side, we unpack Chancellor Capt. Nahla Ake, F. Adm. Charles Vance, Lt. Cdr. Lura Thok, Cdr. Jett Reno, and the ever-iconic Doctor.   Then it's on to the cadets: Caleb Mir, Darem Reymi, Jay-Den Kraag, S.A.M., and Tarima Sadal. We talk chemistry, queer coding, and which of these future officers already feel destined for greatness… or chaos. It's a character-forward conversation full of speculation, affection, and a little side-eye—because if Starfleet Academy is about shaping the future, these people are the ones to watch.

Starfleet Academy is back with a brand-new episode — and this time, the cadets deliver an emotional tribute to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. But as expected, the internet has plenty to say about it.
