Dax decides between a hook-up with the Borg Queen (sorta) or exile. Is resistance futile? And Matt and Andy ask (Seinfeld voice) "WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH TRILLS?"[Episode discussion begins around 49:00]

Capping off our discussion of the third season of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds is a discussion with Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry on his own reactions to the show's third year, and its future - and, of course, questions from Mission Log Live's callers!

The introduction of Hugh in Star Trek: The Next Generation's “I, Borg” added emotional depth to the franchise's most terrifying villains and reshaped Trek's approach to individuality and redemption. This week on The Trek Files, returning guest Adam Kotsko joins us to examine the legacy of Hugh's first appearance, using a March 6, 1992 call sheet as our launch point. From behind-the-scenes insights on day one of filming to Picard's rare role as the obstacle to resolution, we dive deep into the character's mythological weight and long-lasting fan impact. Adam also explores how Star Trek's modern “franchise era” grapples with this legacy—sometimes successfully, sometimes not—especially as lore becomes both a storytelling tool and a trap in the prestige TV arms race.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Workforce, Captain Janeway's new life comes with decent hours, fair pay, and a promising romantic prospect. There's just one catch: she doesn't remember being Captain Janeway. Most of Voyager's crew have been given new jobs and new identities thanks to some suspiciously convenient amnesia. Is this an alien utopia, or forced labor? Maybe a stranger called "Amal Kotay" can make it all make sense.

SPOILER ALERT This week, we're bringing you the audio as we dig into Strange New Worlds Season 3, Episode 3: “Shuttle to Kenfori.” It's an hour of Trek that leans hard into horror, complete with fast-moving zombies, eerie ruins, and Klingons with secrets of their own. We talk through the episode from start to finish, spoilers and all, including the tension-filled performances, character dynamics, and what this story might mean for the rest of the season. From Pike and M'Benga's haunted mission to Ortegas' growing unease, we're breaking it all down. So if you missed the livestream or just want to experience it again in podcast form, sit back, grab your favorite mug of raktajino, and get ready to revisit one of the creepiest corners of the final frontier.

Our callers have made their hot takes known about each episode in real time - but what about their takes-up-the-whole-widescreen-main-viewer opinion of the season as a whole?  Mission Log Live's callers carried on a lively conversation (and ended on a song!).

How did Star Trek go from television soundstage to national treasure? This week, we continue our conversation with Glen Swanson, former NASA historian and author of Inspired Enterprise, to explore a deeper chapter in Trek's relationship with the Smithsonian. Through an exchange of letters between Gene Roddenberry and F.C. Durant, Assistant Director of the National Air and Space Museum, we trace the efforts to secure original Star Trek props and artifacts—including what would ultimately bring the 11-foot U.S.S. Enterprise model into the museum's collection. Beyond acquisition logistics, these letters reveal Durant's belief in the inspirational power of Star Trek, how its optimistic vision of the future helped fuel real-world enthusiasm for space exploration. From ZAP pistols to starship models, this is the story of how Star Trek boldly went into the Smithsonian… and stayed.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode The Void, Voyager gets pulled into a dark, starless region of space—no exits, no resources, and no friendly neighbors. Other ships trapped there have survived by attacking anyone new… so naturally, Janeway decides to make friends instead. Can a little Federation idealism light the way out of The Void? Mission Log finds out. Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao MISSION LOG SURVEY: Take the survey NOW and you could win rare, original TOS film cells!

Can two DS9 characters have a conversation without it being about Kasidy Yates? Not many of these scenes pass the Yates test! And does Dukat have a heart, and if so is it filled with cold blood?[Episode discussion begins around 1:10]

It's a battle between two ancient forces that defy description.  It's also a Wonderful Life.  It's the season finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and Mission Log Live's callers definitely had thoughts about it.

Long before Star Trek props toured conventions and museums, one historic copy of the pilot episode its way into the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with help from Leonard Nimoy and Gene Roddenberry. This week, The Trek Files welcomes Glen Swanson, former NASA historian and author of Inspired Enterprise, to share the remarkable story of Star Trek's first contact with one of America's most iconic institutions. From a 1967 inquiry to Leonard Nimoy, to Gene's formal letter offering his 16mm color print of Where No Man Has Gone Before for the Smithsonian's collection, these early documents chart Star Trek's leap from TV series to cultural touchstone. We'll explore rare correspondence, photos of Gene at the museum, and even a telegram from 1968—just as Star Trek was renewed for its third season—that shows how the Smithsonian connection helped boost Trek's profile in a critical moment.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Prophecy, after decades adrift in the Delta Quadrant, a Klingon generation ship crosses paths with Voyager and finds what they've been looking for: a prophesied savior. Or rather, the unborn child of B'Elanna and Tom. Cue the ceremonial declarations, theological debates, and one very reluctant bat'leth duel. But when the Doctor uncovers a life-threatening illness among the Klingons, prophecy gives way to science, and that same baby might still be the key to salvation. Mission Log meets “Prophecy.” Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao MISSION LOG SURVEY: Take the survey NOW and you could win rare, original TOS film cells!

Ever had one of those slumber parties where there wasn't any pizza or soda, just board games and a wormhole and a crashed shuttle and a gas giant and a combustible atmosphere and oversized space centipedes and, oh yeah, a large intelligent lizard that looks a lot like a large intelligent lizard that tried to disembowel you that one time?  No?  Well, maybe you're like Mission Log Live's callers, and you had thoughts on the latest episode of Strange New Worlds instead.

We're kicking off Season 14 with a legend. George Takei joins The Trek Files to reflect on landing the role of Sulu in Star Trek's second pilot, “Where No Man Has Gone Before”—filmed 60 years ago in July 1965. With humor and honesty, George recalls the early days on set at Desilu's Culver Studios, working alongside James Doohan, and navigating the challenges of being a closeted gay actor in 1960s Hollywood. In a wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation, George also shares his early talks with Gene Roddenberry about Star Trek's inclusive vision—and what it meant to see that future taking shape on screen, even in its earliest days.

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.

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?

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.  The Enterprise crews takes a peek "Through The Lens Of Time", and Mission Log Live's callers weigh in on whether or not this episode will live forever.

OR IS IT NOT EVEN A SPOILER BECAUSE WE'VE WATCHED IT?]

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".

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, Nightingale, while Voyager's parked for repairs, Harry scores a temporary promotion and a whole new ship to command. Finally!

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.

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.

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]

There's a spy aboard Defiant and everybody's got an excuse to act weird! And we see one of Andy's favorite complaints about Odo be proven right - he should be T2-ing and Mr. Fantastic-ing all over the place![Episode discussion begins around 1:06]

Jadzia meets her other hosts, and it's a sketch character showcase! Always wanted to meet Curzon? Well don't forget about Odo! But maybe forget about Curzon?[Episode discussion begins around 57:00]
