Progress (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9), S1 E15) was recommended by Bryan Love(Blackrain), who said: When I first watched this episode when it air way back in the early 90s, I was only 13 years old. It felt pretty much like a filler bottle episode. Something they needed to write out to fill in for the 19 episode for the first season. Even when I did different re-watches of DS9 over the years "Progress" still felt like a first season bottle episode, something that the writers were trying out as they were finding their footing of what DS9 was going to be. It wasn't until the start of my latest re-watch of DS9, along with having watched more of the newer Star Trek(Lower Decks, Discovery, Strange New World, etc.) along with more life experiences I had more to bring to the re-watch this time.There are the two different plots that run through this episode. Plot A Major Kira having to choose between her duty or who she was. Plot B Nog and Jake trying to earn Profit!Plot A: The Federation is helping Bajor with need power by tapping into the core of one of its moons. This unfortunately will make the moon uninhabitable, the few people living on the moon will have to relocate before the mining operation can begin. Everyone leaves, but one old farmer Mullibok that refuses to leave. He's the sweet old grandfather or uncle Eeveryone has or knows. The old man of a thousand stories. Major Kira finds herself question herself. She was a resistance fighter during the occupation, fighting against the cruel overbearing governmental authority. Now she's part of the new Bayoran government and it's her job to be that governmental authority to remove Mullibok from his home. Even if she doesn't want to. She gets for a very short time to leave all the pressure of her duties, as she get to play pretend with Mullibok listening to his stories. Captain Sisko comes to remain Major Kira of her duty.Plot B: The more light hearted and has always brought up the question. The Federation doesn't use a currency base system. But other races still value things, and other humans not in Star Fleet have to earn a living. Nog and Jake put the practice of the art of the trade to full test here, or "I have a paper clip, bet I can trade it up to..." Nog like most Ferengi only wants gold press latinum. It's with Jake's help, I think it helps Nog to start seeing the value in other objects. What is its worth in trading vs it's monetarial valuee. The item might be nothing to me, but someone might gladly pay a small fortune for it.As much as the A Plot with Kira was the main part of this episode, I much more enjoyed Nog and Jake master the art of the deal or trade. Working on that humon and Ferengi friendship.Progress first aired on May 9, 1993, written by Peter Allan Fields, and directed by Les LandauKira has to deal with a stubborn farmer (Brian Keith) who refuses to leave his home even though it is slated for demolition.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

But we do go off on a lot of tangents like ranch dressing, horror movie plans, and Chat GPT getting its poor fee fees hurt GET OVER YOURSELF, Open AI, at this point you're just three ponzi schemes in a trench coat.This episode's outro is a clip from Work it Out by 1000 Handz.This is Sag-Aftra's statement about Tilly Norwood the AI “actress” and how its creators can go jump in a lake.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

In dieser Episode von 4 Unterdeck widmen wir uns der fünften Episode der fünften Staffel von „Star Trek: Lower Decks“. Gemeinsam mit meinen Co-Moderatoren Daniela, Boris und Tanja nehmen wir unsere Zuhörer mit auf eine tiefgründige und humorvolle Reise durch die Absurditäten der Sternenbasis 80. Zuvor werfen wir einen Blick auf das wertvolle Feedback unserer Hörer, das nicht nur die Freude an der Serie widerspiegelt, sondern auch zum Nachdenken über zentrale Themen wie Rangstrukturen in der Föderation und Geschlechtsidentität anregt. Nachdem wir einige interessante Rückmeldungen besprochen haben, darunter die Herausforderungen der Charaktere auf der stark vernachlässigten Sternenbasis 80, tauchen wir direkt in die Episode ein. Der fehlerhafte Navigationscomputer der Cerritos zwingt die Crew zur Interaktion mit den skurrilen Gegebenheiten der Station. Wir erleben humorvolle und chaotische Momente, während der Kontrast zwischen der fortschrittlichen Technik der Cerritos und den maroden Einrichtungen der Sternenbasis 80 mitsamt versagender Gravitation sichtbar wird. Diese Differenz wird nicht nur als Komik dargestellt, sondern wir reflektieren auch die emotionale Bedeutung der Umgebungen, die unsere Charaktere umgeben. Im Verlauf der Diskussion ziehen wir zahlreiche Parallelen zu vergangenen Star-Trek-Abenteuern. Die Geschichte wird durch nostalgische Rückblicke und die Entwicklung der Charaktere aufgewertet, besonders im Hinblick auf die Dynamik zwischen Mariner und Cassia. Ihre Beziehung wächst und entwickelt sich in diesem chaotischen Umfeld, was uns erlaubt, tiefere Einsichten in ihre persönlichen Herausforderungen und Vorurteile zu gewinnen. Diese Entwicklung wird mit einem feinen Sinn für Humor präsentiert, der die Leichtigkeit der Darstellungen unterstreicht, während wir gleichzeitig die ernsthaften Themen der Episode beleuchten. Die Erkundung des Eskapismus, der in der chaotischen Realität der Sternbasis 80 verankert ist, öffnet Türen für tiefere Diskussionen über Identität, Unterstützung und die Notwendigkeit von Empathie in schwierigen Zeiten. Wir diskutieren eindringlich, wie Captain Freeman und ihre Besatzung lernen, trotz ihrer Vorurteile über die Umgebung hinauszuschauen. Die humorvollen Anekdoten, wie die Versuche der Crew, mit den „Zombie“-Zuständen umzugehen und Chad, der Korndogs als Ablenkung nutzt, spiegeln die geschickt gewebten Themen der Episode wider. Abschließend reflektieren wir, wie alle Elemente der Episode ineinandergreifen, um ein Bild von der Interaktion der Cerritos-Crew mit der maroden Umgebung zu schaffen. Die Erlebnisse unserer Charaktere, die thematischen Kontraste und die zurückhaltende Spannung geben der Episode eine vielschichtige Tiefe, die sowohl alte als auch neue Fans anspricht. Mit diesen Gedanken im Hinterkopf schauen wir gespannt auf die kommenden Episoden und sind begeistert, weiterhin die Welt von Star Trek zu erkunden und zu diskutieren.

Season 5 Episode 2The two Stars – Wars and Trek – together for the first time. Charles and Jav's, all time favs together at last.

In dieser spannenden Episode von "Vier unter Deck" versammeln wir uns, um die neueste Folge von "Star Trek: Lower Decks" zu besprechen, die den Titel "A Farewell to Arms" trägt. Unsere Diskussion beginnt mit einer informativen Zusammenfassung, die Daniela vorbereitet hat. Hier wird klar, dass Ma'aH auf seine Familienfarm zurückkehrt und sich dort mit neuen Herausforderungen konfrontiert sieht. Besonders bemerkenswert ist, dass diese Episode von einer Frau geschrieben und inszeniert wurde, was in der "Star Trek"-Welt eine Seltenheit darstellt. Unsere Analyse umfasst tiefere Themen wie die kulturellen Hintergründe der Klingonen und die Bedeutung von Ehre, die uns die Möglichkeit bietet, die Verknüpfungen zwischen dem Kämpferleben und dem ruhigen Dasein auf der Farm zu erkunden. Als wir uns tiefer mit den Charakterstudien auseinandersetzen, wird die Dynamik zwischen Ma'aH und seinem Bruder Malor deutlich. Ihre Interaktionen auf der Farm geben uns spannende Einblicke nicht nur in die Klischees der klingonischen Landwirtschaft, sondern auch in die komplexe Beziehung der Klingonen zu Familie und Tradition. Diese Erzählung wird lebendig durch gut ausgearbeitete Dialoge und vielschichtige Charaktere, die ihre Stärken, Schwächen und inneren Konflikte überzeugend zur Schau stellen. Ein weiterer Höhepunkt der Episode ist der Auftritt von Malor, vermittelt durch einen Gastsprecher mit Erfahrung aus früheren "Star Trek"-Serien. Diese nostalgische Verbindung zum Erbe des "Star Trek"-Universums fügt der Handlung eine spannende Dimension hinzu, während gleichzeitig neue Geschichten erzählt werden. Ma'aHs Suche nach seinem Platz in der Zivilgesellschaft wird von der komplexen Beziehung zu seinem Bruder überschattet, der zwischen den Erwartungen der Krieger-Gesellschaft und seinen eigenen Wünschen hin- und hergerissen ist. Der Besuch in einer klingonischen Taverne intensiviert die Handlung, in der die Klingonen ihre Ehre beweisen und sich messen. Wir erleben die Kultur und den Humor der Klingonen in dieser anregenden Umgebung, die von geselligen Wettkämpfen und lebhaften Musikdarbietungen geprägt ist. Diese Details machen die Welt von "Star Trek: Lower Decks" greifbar und lebendig und eröffnen ein Spielfeld für tiefere Gespräche über Ehre, Familientraditionen und die besondere Bindung zwischen Geschwistern. Im Laufe der Diskussion thematisieren wir auch die Vorstellung von Opferbereitschaft, die zentral für die Handlung wird. Die Herausforderungen, denen sich Ma'aH und die anderen stellen müssen, um ihre Ehre zurückzugewinnen, beleuchten die kulturellen Werte der Klingonen und regen dazu an, über den Umgang mit Ehre und Pflicht nachzudenken. Dieser ernsthafte Subtext wird von humorvollen Momenten begleitet, während die Charaktere gleichzeitig ihre Freundschaften stärken und sich in ihren identitären Krisen weiterentwickeln. In der Staffelung der Charaktere sehen wir, wie Ma'aH von einem leidenschaftlichen Kämpfer zu einem differenzierten Individuum wird, der für sich und seine Familie kämpft. Dies verdeutlicht, dass die Herausforderungen des menschlichen Daseins, auch in einer erfundenen Welt wie "Star Trek", universell sind und uns dazu anregen, über Moral und Verantwortung nachzudenken. Schließlich kommen wir zum humorvollen, jedoch auch ernsten B-Plot, der geschickt die Themen Wahrnehmung und Identität behandelt. Auch wenn einige kritische Stimmen anmerken, dass dieser Strang etwas schwächer ausfällt, so bietet er dennoch wertvolle Einsichten und amüsante Momente. Insgesamt bietet die Episode sowohl in Bezug auf Charakterentwicklung als auch auf die narrative Struktur spannende Einblicke. Die Verbindung zwischen Ma'aH und dem Essenskritiker sowie die fein ausgearbeiteten Szenarien schaffen eine Mischung aus Drama und Humor, die das "Star Trek"-Universum bereichert und die Zuschauer in ihren Bann zieht.

Episode 179: Here She Lies Written by Gracie GlassmeyerWelcome to Dead Pilots Society, the podcast that takes comedy pilots from A-list writers that were sold and developed at networks and streamers but never produced, and gives them the table reads they never got to have.This episode features a pilot from Gracie Glassmeyer.

If you're watching this show then you know why this one just knocked our socks off. (And if you're not, well, you really should, what are you waiting for?) We finally get the backstory for why Kirsten and Jeevan left Chicago, and why Frank wasn't with them when they left, and it's all kinds of beautiful and tragic, with stunningly good choices for the music, and brilliant cinematography, and young Kirsten's cardboard costumes are perfect and that is not up for debate.It's an episode that chooses a slightly different format for what would usually be a typical flashback story. So it's fitting that we follow it up with the Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 premiere, which takes a go-to template for a Star Trek story - the crew members meet the alternate reality versions of themselves - and then does something juuust slightly different with it.This week's outro is a clip from Yet Another Level by TeknoAXE.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

I just want to say before anyone listens to this episode…I LOVE true crime! Podcasts, Dateline, asking Chappy Tea to embellish the grisly details of case files I looked up with a hacked PACER account…I can't get enough. So when I imply in this episode that I think the cottage industry exploiting the victims of physical violence for t-shirt sales is horrifically sad and beneath contempt, I was talking about something else. Or I got confused or I was taken over by a brain thing or something. I got all messed up for a sec. It's cool though. Anyway what else?Oh yeah. Farts are funny and I'm a ninja pimp.

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2025/07/binary-system-podcast-465-station-eleven-star-trek-lower-decks-and-picard/First up this week we start with a spoileriffic recap of the Station Eleven bottle episode “The Severn City Airport,” where we find out how the Prophet became so intensely creepy, tho we're still not sure how he ended up with The Book.Then we jump to an equally spoileriffic recap of the second-to-last episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4, where we get a little more info about the mystery ship that's abducting people, and the reason why Mariner's had a frikking death wish for the last few episodes. (We think there may be a pretty deep pull there, but of course we haven't looked it up. Feel free to yell at us in the comments!)Finally, Elizabeth has a brief (and slightly spoileriffic, natch) look at the final episode of Picard. TL:DR, it's fine? Very nostalgic and fun, but the fact that it took her literally months to watch the whole season is not a good sign.Plus some random tangents into stupid influencers, post-apocalyptic supermarket looting, and bad wigs.This week's outro is a clip from Liberation by Pamela Yuen.Correction: friends of the podcast Hannah and Nathan have both pointed out Miranda gave Arthur a second copy of the book and that's how Tyler got one. Somehow we both completely forgot that happened.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person? Want to buy them (or yourself) a square foot of a castle in Scotland? Look no further!

This episode originally broadcast on July 3, 2025. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2025/07/binary-system-podcast-464-station-eleven-and-star-trek-lower-decks/Our journey through a post-pandemic world continues this week as we discuss the fourth episode of Station Eleven. The lines are being drawn between the people still mourning the world that existed before the pandemic, and the people born after the pandemic who will never understand how bad it was and wish people would just get over it. This episode has some fun moments, like Lori Petty's character and the surprisingly workable Shakespearean costumes made with golf gloves. But there's also a shocking development that was set up almost from the start of the episode; it's just not the one you think it's going to be.In another shocking development, Kathryn recaps two episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Elizabeth is shocked to realize that she'd forgotten an entire storyline that can be summed up as "Rutherford's clone cave-baby." This week's outro is a clip from Before The Countdown by Armament. Correction: We didn't realize until halfway through the recap that we were mispronouncing "Kirsten" as "Kristen".

HUMAN INTEREST STORIES. Did Mariner badmouth the crew? Has Admiral Buenamigo teamed up with an evil AI to takedown Starfleet or is all AI inherently evil? Bryan is joined by Katie Hampton from Geekscape's Napping Through Happy Hour Podcast to work out if the last two episodes of Lower Decks' third season are TREKs, MARRYs, or KILLs and discuss along the way fame, schmuck bait, and their memories of various California cities.Jump to "The Stars at Night" at (34:06).

I know many of you out there have been clamoring for this, but I've been holding out on covering it, since watching Star Trek on a Star Trek podcast is a bit obvious. However, after being worn down by all of you, I have finally decided to give in and watch Star Trek on our show... you bunch of rubes. But will Star Trek live up to its lofty legacy? Will it make for a good episode on our Star Trek podcast? Only time will tell... or, only time travel will tell? Whatever, let's just get this over with and watch the first movie of this rebooted Star Trek film trilogy. This is the beginning of the final part of our 100-episode list, Venturing Out Into The Universe, in which we're examining how the Star Trek franchise has grown and changed over its history. In this chunk of episodes, we're going to be looking at Modern Trek--the franchise's big splashy return after the end of its golden age. This will be a ten-episode selection comprised of the beginnings of all the different series of this era: Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Short Treks, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, as well as one of the movies of the reboot film trilogy, all spanning from 2009-2022. Episode discussion starts at 32:51. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Jennie Beal, with Toby Simmons, Natty Taylor, and Dallas Fawson.

The Welcome To Night Vale writers decided to prepare for the July hiatus by wrapping up two storylines this episode.

NINE OWN SELF. This month's animated spotlight features a pair of episodes that go to great lengths to give our cartoon characters some badly needed introspection. Rutherford learns about his bad boy former self and Tendi is pressed to assert the woman she wants to be over her culture's demands. Oh, and there's plenty of nostalgia for Bryan with a trip to Deep Space Nine. But will he and Katie Hampton from the Napping Through Happy Hour Podcast give these episodes TREKs, MARRYs, or KILLs? The grades begin at (26:44).

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we're serving up a buffet of dystopia with a side of snark. First, Kuwait has finally realized crypto bros are an energy drain, not a feature. Celsius Network's founder gets 12 years for running a “safe investment” Ponzi scheme. And in Lopez v. Apple, we find yet another reason to question Cupertino's moral compass.Then it's time for a trip through the tech trash fire. DoorDash gobbles up Deliveroo, proving there's no such thing as too many overpriced salads. Google wants your kids to befriend Gemini—because what could go wrong giving tweens supervised AI access? Tesla's “Robotaxi” trademark gets the boot for being as generic as Elon's pickup lines. Meanwhile, Grok strips in public, deepfake porn sites get the axe, and dating app “Raw” rawdogs user data like it's the early 2000s internet. We also hit peak Black Mirror with brain-typed tweets, AI-resurrected relatives, and crypto kidnappers playing real-life GTA.On Media Candy, the streaming overlords dump trailers like Halloween candy. Squid Game is back to traumatize you, Star Trek: Lower Decks keeps boldly going where no animated series should, and The Old Guard 2 teases a Theron-vs-Thurman sword fight. Plus, Apple's UX team found the “enhance” button, Netflix wants to be helpful (lol), and Google dreams of becoming a Hollywood darling. Over in Apps & Doodads, Apple wants to stagger iPhone drops, Disney sells you a $3,000 droid with zero sass, and Smart Flowerpots are now a thing because apparently, you can't be trusted to water your plant.And finally, it's time for The Dark Side with Dave, where Bittner brings us malware, click tracks, fake vocals, and the shocking truth about KISS's lipsync disaster in Antwerp. We also dip into ILM's jaw-dropping legacy, Star Wars' shady back alleys, and a new Disneyland in Abu Dhabi, because nothing says “happiest place on Earth” like 120°F desert heat.

WordPress has officially jumped the pineapple, forcing users to agree that pineapple belongs on pizza to log in. Critics call it a kindergarten move, especially when serious feature requests are ignored. Meanwhile, the crypto world is celebrating its new political allies, but experts warn we're inching toward a financial apocalypse that taxpayers will be stuck cleaning up. On the East Coast, people are mistaking stars for drones while pilots dodge lasers in what's shaping up to be the plot of a bad sci-fi movie. Oh, and crop circles? Yeah, they're back because why the hell not?Elsewhere, TikTok's battle for survival heads to the Supreme Court, and Character.ai faces backlash for hosting chatbots based on school shooters. Meta's EU drama escalates over its failure to tackle terrorist content, and Arizona is ditching teachers for AI because who needs humans when you've got algorithms?On the media front, we break down the Star Trek: Lower Decks finale, geek out over Silo's two-season endgame, and get hyped for Dune: Prophecy and a fresh Superman teaser. Tech talk includes Temu dominating app downloads, Microsoft killing passwords in favor of passkeys, and Spotify pulling a fast one with “ghost artists” to dodge royalties.On the Dark Side with Dave, we explore the cooler corners of ham radio, AI's chokehold on creativity, and how surveillance turns your brain into mush.
