In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Repentance, Voyager rescues a damaged transport ship carrying prisoners to their execution. But when the Doctor uncovers a neurological condition at the root of one inmate's violent behavior, questions arise about guilt, rehabilitation, and justice. It's a classic tale of “what if your criminal justice system is built on flawed science and societal fear?” This week, Mission Log gets a sentence to Repentance.

When the crew needs a little more logic to solve a crisis, going Vulcan seems like a good idea...until it doesn't. Was it logical for everyone's brand new Vulcan dogma to chase their katra? Mission Log Live's callers let us know if they found it illogical, or if they dug it.

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
In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Lineage, B'Elanna and Tom get the life-changing news that they're going to be parents. But joy quickly gives way to fear as B'Elanna confronts the pain of her past: her father's abandonment, her isolation, and the shame she felt about her Klingon heritage. Convinced she's sparing her child from pain, she attempts to re-engineer her daughter's DNA without telling Tom. But where's the line between protecting your child and erasing who they are? Mission Log weighs the science, the choices, and the consequences in Lineage.

A documentary maker with an agenda collides with a crew on edge during a mission where nothing goes as planned, leading to a single question: "What Is Starfleet?" Mission Log Live's callers might just have the answer - or they might have a lot to say about this unconventional episode of Strange New Worlds.
Was ist Starfleet – Forscher oder Imperium? In der neuen Episode von Strange New Worlds (3x07 „What Is Starfleet?“) verwandelt sich eine Föderations-Doku in puren Horror: psionische Schreie, moralische Grauzonen und eine Enterprise am Limit. Wir analysieren die Episode, ziehen Parallelen zu Arendt und Kant, graben in der Star-Trek-Historie und fragen uns: Ist Starfleet wirklich das strahlende Ideal – oder nur ein galaktischer Albtraum im schicken Uniformlook?

Bashir and O'Brien go head-to-head about whether to save some Jem'Hadar while Matt and Andy go head-to-head with the TNC crew about whether "The Visitor" is heartbreaking or just okay.[Episode discussion begins around 1:22]
The one where we finally put the antics to restWell listeners, this is the end, the final episode, the last of Rewind...All good things...you know the rest! Haley and Sara are here for one final laugh and terrible attempt at discussing Star Trek Picard and the season 3 finale, The Last Generation. Tune in as we chat about life updates after a huge break, reminisce on the podcast (briefly, don't worry, we don't drag it out) and then we discuss the final episode of the incredible gift that was Season 3 of Star Trek Picard. Thank you so much to our listeners, friends and our cheerleaders Bill and Dan. This has been so much fun and it's definitely not the end of Sara and Haley. But for now, it's Haley frequencies closed. And apparently.
In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Shattered, time gets all wibbly-wobbly aboard Voyager. Sickbay's in the past, the mess hall's in the future, and Chakotay is the only one who knows what's going on. Expect run-ins with old friends like Seska and new-old ones like adult Naomi Wildman. It's a grand tour of Voyager history; just avoid the temporal anomalies while Mission Log gets Shattered.

Ever get just what you wanted and then found out there were terms and conditions? James T. Kirk takes the captain's chair in a crisis for the first time, and Mission Log Live's hosts and callers have plenty of notes for him on his first real command.
Candyman Tony Todd appears as Jake Sisko through the ages - and in some insane age make-up! Todd and Avery Brooks also go head-to-head in a real theatrical-acting-off! Meanwhile Matt asks the question - couldn't somebody at Starfleet have helped Jake with any of this? [Episode discussion begins 1:13ish. Voyager spoiler at 13:50ish for those who practice. OR IS IT NOT EVEN A SPOILER BECAUSE WE'VE WATCHED IT?]
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.
Things get gloriously weird as we dive into "Wedding Bell Blues," the second episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3. After a three-month time jump, the Enterprise is docked at Starbase One for the Federation's 100th anniversary, but Spock has something more personal on his mind: the return of Nurse Chapel. Unfortunately for him, she's not alone. Enter Chapel's date, Dr. Roger Korby, her old mentor, and the unfortunate spark for Spock's emotional tailspin. What begins as an awkward love triangle quickly warps into a full-blown rom-com fever dream. Spock wakes up engaged to Chapel, the crew is prepping for a wedding instead of a centennial celebration, and reality itself seems to be playing fast and loose with the facts. While some members of the crew are blissfully swept up in the festivities, others start to sense something is very, very off--especially a confused and suspicious Dr. Korby. We'll dig into the emotional core of the episode, including Ethan Peck's fantastic performance as a Vulcan barely holding himself together, and how Strange New Worlds continues to blend genres without losing its heart. Director Jordon Canning, who brought us last season's rom-com "Charades," once again balances comedy, sci-fi, and surprising depth in a story that explores how emotions shape our reality.
The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail (SNW 3x06): Ein tentakelbewehrter Aasfresser verschluckt die USS Enterprise – und Star Trek kippt in Raumhorror. Pike & La'an kämpfen in giftigen Gängen, Pelia rettet mit Kupferkabeln, Ortegas fliegt Arcade-Style, Spock findet den Knotenpunkt, und Kirk lernt, was Kommandogewicht wirklich heißt. Der härteste Twist: 7.000 menschliche Lebenszeichen im Bauch des Monsters – und eine Flagge auf der Hülle. Wir sprechen über: • Astrovore-Mythos, waffensaugende Anzüge, Nabelschnur am Rumpf • Lockvogel Farragut: Antiprotonen, Intermix-Chamber, Warpgondeln abwerfen • Baryon-Partikel im Deuterium-Strom: kosmisches Sodbrennen • Joystick-Enterprise: Ortegas, Una, M'Benga • Spocks 3-Torpedo-Mattzug und Pikes Verantwortungstränen Hashtags: #StrangeNewWorlds #TheSehlatWhoAteItsTail #StarTrek #DiscoveryPanel #Podcast #HorrorInSpace #CaptainPike #Kirk #Uhura #Chapel #LaAn #Spock #Scotty #Pelia #PhotonTorpedo
In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, Flesh and Blood, remember when Janeway handed over Starfleet holodeck tech to the Hirogen? Well, they ran with it, built a blood-soaked holosafari. Now their prey is sentient, self-aware, and hunting back. The Doctor is torn between creator and creation, and Voyager's crew goes on the endangered species list.

Korby and Chapel lead a landing party into ancient alien ruins to search for the secret of immortality. By the time it's all over, they may wish they'd just taken everyone out for pizza instead.

Space, the last frontier. La'an gets to alpha-test new Starfleet technology that has a lot of promise and a lot of bugs, and maybe a safety issue or two. Will this "holodeck" thing ever catch on, or is it just murder on the ship's systems? What are the odds? Hear what Mission Log Live's callers had to say about "A Space Adventure Hour".

Sometimes you've just gotta drop everything and get flowers for your significant other. But for Captain Pike, doing so is the only way to keep her alive. But there's a catch! Actually, a lot of catches. With lots of teeth. Climb aboard the Shuttle To Kenfori to hear what Mission Log Live's callers had to say.
So there's this new Star Trek Podcast - and, btw, I'm terrified of death. Plus, we have a conversation about the Runabout, speaking of fear of death.
The one with all the feels"Well this didn't age well did it. Haley and Sara are sliding into your podcast dreams with this very delayed episode of Rewind. Originally recorded in October of 2024 we felt it time to drop this episode, record one more (the Picard Season 3 finale) and say a final goodbye to those that have listened with us for over 5 years. This is Vox, and boy is it an emotional rollercoaster. Listen as Haley and I gush over all the nostalgia this fantastic episode brings to us loving fans. Listen as we laugh over the Enterprise bridge carpet, smile at the sound of Majel's voice and laugh at our own idioic side stories. Thank you to Bill and Dan for supporting us and stinking with us as we navigate life and to all of you for listening to our rambles. This is Rewind episode 58, Vox.
In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, Body and Soul, Seven of Nine is acting strangely. Turns out it's not the cheesecake, it's The Doctor hiding out from anti-hologram zealots by taking a tour of her body. While the crew scrambles to stay one step ahead of their captors, The Doctor explores the joys (and complications) of physical existence. Mission Log uploads Body and Soul.

It's a season premiere double-header as Mission Log Live covers the conclusion of Hegemony and the more light-hearted Wedding Bell Blues. What will Mission Log Live's callers make of this unlikely pairing?
Was passiert, wenn ein omnipotenter Wedding Planner eine Hochzeit auf Starbase One inszeniert – und Spock plötzlich Shorts verweigert? In „Wedding Bell Blues“ wird's campy, komisch und komplett kosmisch: Spock und Chapel, Uhura und das Maisfeld, Pike und die Lutrog-Rationen – und ein Reality-Warping-Wesen mit Theaterspleen, das verdächtig nach Trelane aussieht. In dieser Folge des Discovery Panel Podcasts sezieren wir:
AUDIO FROM THURSDAY NIGHT GEEKS Bill and Dan are boldly going where few fans dare to tread: straight into the heart of Star Trek controversy. Everyone has a hot take, but not all opinions are created equal—and tonight, they're putting theirs on display. From the final frontiers of franchise canon to the captains, crews, and creative choices that divide the fandom, no corner of the Trek universe is safe. Expect a lively and honest conversation that challenges long-held beliefs and re-examines the things we all thought were settled. The guys are pulling no punches as they each share five of their most unpopular Star Trek opinions—and believe us, some of them might raise a Vulcan eyebrow or two. Whether it's about storylines, characters, or what should (or shouldn't) count as "real Trek," these takes are bound to get people talking. Of course, it's all in good fun. Thursday Night Geeks is a celebration of everything Star Trek—disagreements and all. So pour a raktajino, strap in, and get ready to yell at your screen (or maybe nod in silent agreement). You might not agree with everything said... but you'll definitely have an opinion about it. Be sure to hang around after the end theme for a brand-new outake from Bill and Dan recorded after this episode livestreamed! ======================================= Music for Trek Geeks is provided by the world's greatest Star Trek band, FIVE YEAR MISSION! They're recording one song for each episode of the original Star Trek. Get all their albums at fiveyearmission.net!
In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, Inside Man, there's a new Reg in town, and he's smoother, sharper, and more confident than ever. Almost… too confident. When Voyager receives the helpful hologram from Lt. Barclay, things seem a little off. Could it be sabotage? And is Reg really trying to kill the crew, or just flirting badly with Seven? This week, Mission Log finds the Inside Man. Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao SPECIAL OFFER - take 10% off your first order at Factory Entertainment with code "missionlog" at checkout!

An invasion is imminent, and Pike and his crew find themselves trapped behind the front lines. Personal issues collide with orders from Starfleet to avoid a war at all costs. Mission Log Live's callers are Gorn'a have a few things to say about the season two finale.
Audio from Thursday Night Geeks We're charting a course straight into the explosive Season 2 finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds — "Hegemony." With tensions high and the Gorn deadlier than ever, the crew of the Enterprise faces a nightmare scenario that pushes Starfleet ideals to the breaking point. We'll examine how the series handles high-stakes conflict, moral dilemmas, and the weight of command in this harrowing final chapter of the season. We'll dive deep into Captain Pike's impossible choice and the toll it takes—not just on him, but on his relationships with his crew. From Spock's desperate search for Christine Chapel to La'an's cold tactical edge, every major character is tested under fire. We'll also take a closer look at the return of the Gorn as a modern Trek threat—what works, what terrifies, and what it all means for Starfleet going forward. And of course, we'll talk about that ending. The final moments of "Hegemony" leave us on the edge of our seats and wondering how the crew can possibly regroup. Has the Enterprise ever been this outmatched? Join us as we unpack the emotional weight, story structure, and cinematic style of the episode that's redefining what a Trek finale can be.

Matt and Andy finally watch the arrival of Worf to DS9, as the MVC song prophesied. And boy, did everybody made a big deal out of Sisko's shaved head and the arrival of Worf being harbingers of awesomeness for the show...... but maybe they didn't make a BIG ENOUGH deal of how awesome it was about to get?[Episode discussion begins around 52 minutes in]
With a spring in our step, a song in our hearts, and episode co-writers Bill Wolkoff and Dana Horgan on our show, Mission Log Live welcomes callers to vocalize their thoughts on the Strange New Worlds musical, Subspace Rhapsody.
We're ending the season with a bang. Literally. In our finale, The Trek Files revisits a seemingly ordinary Next Generation call sheet from 1990… the day a single scene changed Star Trek history. That's when Commander Riker gave the iconic order to fire on a Borg cube with Captain Picard aboard. Joining us is the man who gave that order himself, Jonathan Frakes, for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation. From TNG finally hitting its stride to squashing long-standing rumors, and yes, a truly bizarre story involving a stolen truckload of Star Trek costumes and a trade deal for none other than K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider, Frakes brings humor, honesty, and unforgettable behind-the-scenes insight to one of Trek's most pivotal moments.

Audio from Thursday Night Geeks We're thrilled to welcome actor, artist, and all-around creative force Bruce Horak to the livestream! Best known to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds fans as Hemmer, the gruff but endearing Aenar engineer of the U.S.S. Enterprise, Bruce brings a unique perspective as the first legally blind actor to play a recurring character in the *Star Trek* franchise. Join us as we talk about his time on the show, his experience stepping into the Trek universe, and how he helped redefine what representation in science fiction can look like. But Bruce's journey doesn't stop with Strange New Worlds. He's embarking on a deeply personal new mission: a documentary titled "Boldly Going", which chronicles his life as a visually impaired artist, performer, and now cultural trailblazer. We'll explore the inspiration behind this project, how fans can support it through his current Indiegogo campaign (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/boldly-going-documentary#/), and why this story of resilience, creativity, and vision is so important in today's media landscape. Expect laughs, insights, and maybe even a few tears as Bruce shares how his love of storytelling—and Star Trek itself—has shaped his path. We'll also dig into his stage work, his incredible portrait paintings, and what it means to truly "go boldly" as an artist who defies expectations at every turn. And of course, it wouldn't be Thursday Night Geeks without some behind-the-scenes tidbits. Set phasers to "inspired" and don't miss this heartwarming, eye-opening episode with one of the most fascinating voices in modern Trek.

For the first time, The Trek Files sets course for Trek's modern streaming era, and it all begins with a ship. We're looking back at the 2016 press release that introduced the U.S.S. Discovery to the world at San Diego Comic-Con, marking the first step into a new era of Star Trek on television. Our guest is Adam Kotsko, scholar and author of Late Star Trek, who joins Larry to examine how Discovery and the shows that followed have reshaped the franchise for the 21st century. From universe-building to “fan service,” and from mythology to modern IP, this episode dives into the creative, commercial, and cultural tensions that define the current Trek landscape. Whether you're a fan of Strange New Worlds or still grappling with Picard, there's something here for every Trek-O-File. Document and additional references: U.S.S.
