FedCon 2026 – unser Rückblick auf die Starfleet-Academy-Gäste! In dieser Folge sprechen wir nicht über die komplette FedCon, sondern gezielt über die Gäste aus Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Wir schauen auf Panels, Bühnenmomente, Cast-Chemie, Publikumsreaktionen und natürlich auf all die kleinen Andeutungen, aus denen man mit genug Star-Trek-Wahnsinn ganze Theorien bauen kann. Mit dabei: Zoë Steiner, Karim Diané, Kerrice Brooks, Bella Shepard und George Hawkins – und unsere Frage, was diese FedCon-Auftritte über die neue Generation von Star Trek erzählen. War da schon ein Blick auf die Zukunft der Serie? Haben die Gäste mehr verraten, als sie wollten? Oder haben wir einfach wieder viel zu viele Gedanken zu sehr kleinen Gesichtsausdrücken? Die Antwort lautet vermutlich: ja. #FedCon2026 #StarfleetAcademy #StarTrek #DiscoveryPanel #StarTrekPodcast

The Star Trek universe continues to boldly go where no series has gone before with Starfleet Academy, the 12th live-action entry in the iconic franchise. In this episode, we explore Season 1, discussing the new generation of cadets, the challenges and mysteries they face, and how the series connects to Star Trek's rich legacy while charting its own course for the future.

FedCon 34, Tag 3: Wir blicken zurück auf Zoë Steiners, George Hawkins' und Karim Dianés Panel vom Samstag – und auf die großen Gruppenpanels von Strange New Worlds und Starfleet Academy am Sonntag. Außerdem sprechen wir über unsere eigene Talkshow „Warum wir Star Trek brauchen!“: ein Live-Podcast über Haltung, Hoffnung, Zukunft, Werte und die Frage, warum dieses Franchise nach fast 60 Jahren immer noch mehr kann als hübsche Raumschiffe mit dramatischer Beleuchtung. Natürlich geht es auch um den tragischen Ausfall von Kerrice Brooks, deren FedCon-Auftritt leider am galaktisch banalsten aller Gegner scheiterte: verlorenem Gepäck. Star Trek erzählt von Subraumkommunikation, Transportern und Warpantrieb – und trotzdem gewinnt am Ende manchmal der Flughafen. Faszinierend. Aber nicht gut. Ein Rückblick auf den letzten FedCon-Tag: emotional, chaotisch, liebevoll und mit sehr viel Sternenflottenherz. #FedCon34 #FedCon2026 #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #StarfleetAcademy #ZoeSteiner #GeorgeHawkins #KarimDiane #KerriceBrooks #DiscoveryPanel #WarumWirStarTrekBrauchen #StarTrekPodcast

First Mother's Day, Rising Prices & Playoff Pain-Ep. 509 In this special Mother's Day episode of Boomer & The Millennial, Reggie and Armondi celebrate the women who keep families grounded while catching up on life, culture, sports, and current events across two generations. This episode features a heartfelt shoutout to Nia on her first Mother's Day, family updates on Ava Marie, conversations about the new house and school life, and an update on the growing If You Are My Brothers podcast and the prostate cancer awareness project. The conversation then shifts to major headlines affecting everyday people—from rising gas and food prices to voting rights and the importance of voting in Georgia. And of course, the guys break down Atlanta sports, including the Hawks' playoff collapse and the Braves continuing to lead the way. Plus entertainment talk featuring Sinners, Young Sherlock, and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

Abschiedsmelodien zum Start: Wir forschen nach, was es mit Fred Strittmatter und Quirin Amper jr. auf sich hat und lösen nach Jahrzehnten auf, welcher Titel ursprünglich hinter dem Song „Liebe Freunde von Otto“ steckt. Da passt mindestens namentlich der Podcast „Reflektor“, den Jürgen für sich entdeckt hat. Außerdem findet im Hause Hüsam am Aufnahmetag ein großer „Roblox“-Event statt – die Gelegenheit für Yuki, alle Hörer zu verbellen. Roland kann dank neuer Kontaktlinsen berichten, dass „Ghost Recon Wildlands“ bis auf zwei Trophäen abgehakt ist, und dass die „Splinter Cell“-Teile „Double Agent“, „Conviction“ und „Blacklist“ bereitstehen. Jürgen bringt gemischte Kunde: „Assassin’s Creed Shadows“ ist durch, in „Astro Bot“ fehlt immer noch eine Trophäe. Wir trösten uns mit einem Abstecher bei Amazon, Epic und Creative Assembly. Aus rein beruflichen Gründen ist Roland außerdem in „Star Trek: Starfleet Academy“ – dem Spiel, nicht der Serie! – sowie in „Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn“ unterwegs. Einige wenige Bittbriefe gilt es zu öffnen, dann berichtet Jürgen von seinen Flohmarkt-Abenteuern. Hat er über sich gebracht, eine Blu-ray zu erwerben? Oder investiert er weiter in tote Medien? So oder so ist ein „Winnetou“-Sammelalbum ein großartiger Fund. Im Fernsehen ist das Ende nahe: Die siebte Staffel von „Don Matteo“ serviert zum Ende etliche Mythology-Episoden, die siebte Staffel von „Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen“ erreicht im Hause Hüsam ebenfalls ihren Höhepunkt. Betrübt müssen wir feststellen, dass wir tatsächlich verpasst haben, dass „Das Traumschiff“ Ostern erneut in See gestochen ist. Doch dafür waren wir mit John McClane in Washington, D.C. unterwegs. (Aufgenommen am 11. April 2026)

Die beste erste Staffel Star Trek? Wir müssen über Starfleet Academy reden. Zehn Folgen Starfleet Academy liegen hinter uns – und jetzt wird verhandelt: War das einfach eine gute erste Staffel? Eine überladene, wilde, emotionale Wundertüte? Oder vielleicht tatsächlich eine der stärksten Auftaktstaffeln, die Star Trek je hatte? Wir sprechen über die große Serienidentität zwischen Academy-Coming-of-Age, politischem Drama, Trauma-Erzählung und Föderationsmanifest. Wir diskutieren, welche Figuren die Staffel wirklich tragen, wo Entwicklung glaubwürdig erzählt wird und wo das Drehbuch vielleicht ein bisschen sehr selbstbewusst behauptet, was es noch nicht ganz gezeigt hat. Außerdem geht es um die Staffelarchitektur vom Burn-Erbe über Nus Braka bis Omega 47, um den enormen Gegenwind aus Teilen des Heritage-Fandoms – und um die Frage, ob Starfleet Academy gerade durch Schmerz, Zweifel, Reibung und beschädigte Institutionen vielleicht besonders starkes Star Trek ist. Am Ende steht natürlich die große Frage: Ist das die beste erste Staffel einer Star-Trek-Serie? Antwort: It depends. Natürlich. Wir sind hier schließlich nicht bei einem binären Warpkern. #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy #DiscoveryPanel #StarTrekPodcast #PodcastDeutsch #ScienceFiction #Federation #Starfleet #NusBraka #Omega47

The Bridge Crew is a little tardy, but they finally close the loop on conversations for STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY by diving into the final two episodes of its first season: "300th Night" and "Rubincon!" Our panel of STAR TREK franchise explorers—Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan—break down the effectiveness of the finale, their favorite characters for the season and what they felt both worked and didn't about STARFLEET ACADEMY as we await its second season. But to kick things off, the panel appeals to the people—and rants a bit—about the attitudes of some in fandom toward the show. Don't forget about PEDANTIC CONTINUITY TIME at the end, either! Editor's note: Time index 22:51-29:35 is fully spent on recaps for both episodes. Move to 29:35 for the commencement of the full discussion of the episodes.

The DEBRIEF Bridge Crew continues its recaps of STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY season one with two episodes: "Ko'Zeine" and "The Life of the Stars!" After a brief discussion about the sad recent news concerning the state of STAR TREK's active productions, co-hosts Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan break down two very different episodes of the misunderstood series. While one panelist was less kind to episode seven, others offer perspectives that illuminate its value to a rollercoaster of a season. For episode eight, themes of trauma and acceptance are further exemplified with the return of SYLVIA TILLY from STAR TREK: DISCOVERY. Listen in now!

Anthony and Laurie have a lot of news to catch up on. They start with the cancellation of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, looking at statements from Paramount as well as reactions from both the cast and the show’s fans, and have a brief debate about whether or not that factored into the decision. Robert Picardo’s recent comments about Star Trek taking “a pause” sparked a broader discussion of what might happen next with the franchise both on TV and in movies. They also take a look at a new interview with Paul Giamatti about Academy‘s Nus Braka. They chat about Project Hail Mary author Andy Weir’s comments on this era of Trek, along with his subsequent apology to Alex Kurtzman, and Tony goes through the latest on new comics and games. They recap some of the Trek Talks panels, particularly the Deep Space Nine “Trials and Tribble-ations discussion where Ira talked about nervously calling Leonard Nimoy to get his approval and the Enterprise writers panel where they talked about their pitches for season 5. Laurie gives a full Trek Talks update and then urges everyone to go check out the footage and images from the Artemis mission.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is doing something rare for a franchise show: it's willing to put its own hero institution genuinely on trial — and Matthew sits down with Matt Carroll, co-host of the Star Trek Universe Podcast and founder of the Stranded Panda Podcast Network, to dig into all ten episodes with full spoilers in hand.At the center of the season is a storyline connecting Captain Ake, Anisha Mir, and her son Caleb; a morally tangled triangle of guilt, projection, and hard accountability that both hosts find unexpectedly moving. They debate how the show handles its courtroom climax, where the villain Noose Braca's grievances against the Federation turn out to rest on factually false memories. The hosts see a deliberate political metaphor but wish the Federation had been made to answer for more. They also get into the Klingon cadet who wants to be a nurse, the war college subplot as Star Trek's latest engagement with its own military identity, and a three-stakes framework for evaluating action sequences that lights up a new way of thinking about everything from the Daredevil hallway fight to Luke's Death Star shot.The conversation doesn't stay in the story, because the story of what's happening to this show turns out to be just as urgent. Both hosts make the case that Starfleet Academy's pre-emptive cancellation before Season 2 even airs looks a lot less like a business decision and a lot more like a targeted act of political interference — and that watching the show is itself a small form of pushback.Mentioned in This EpisodeStar Trek Content DiscussedStar Trek: Deep Space Nine — “In the Pale Moonlight”Star Trek: PicardThe Orville (Season 4 reportedly in production for a late 2026/2027 release)Other Shows & Films ReferencedDaredevil (Netflix) — hallway fight scene, Season 1Buffy the Vampire SlayerLuke CageIf Starfleet Academy has been sitting in your queue, this is the episode that'll send you straight to it — or send you back for a rewatch with sharper eyes.About Matt CarrollMatt Carroll is the co-host of the Star Trek Universe Podcast and the founder of the Stranded Panda Podcast Network, home to the Marvel Cinematic Universe Podcast, Multiverse News, and more.

This week, the boys head to Sicily to try and save cinema with 1989's “Cinema Paradiso”! This highly regarded film expresses the nostalgia of growing up in post-WWII Italy where a single movie theater was the only source of entertainment for a town. It ends with it getting torn to the ground, which is reason enough for us to grab some drinks and talk positively about the film, whether or not it's too nostalgic and sentimental, and how it reflects our feelings of today's cinema culture. linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

Anika and Liz, two people with experience getting too attached to fictional characters and then mourning their deaths for 900 years, convene on the holodeck to discuss Star Trek: Voyager's "Real Life" ... and the cancellation of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.  We are sad and angry!  What does Paramount even want from Star Trek? "This episode is two B plots in search of an A plot."  "Conceptually, it's great. In execution, it's very Jeri Taylor (derogatory)." B'Elanna adds "chaos" to the Doctor's program, but it sure is a coincidence that the algorithm "randomly" selects for scary Klingons infiltrating the Doctor's white suburban sanctum! "Everyone has a go at reprogramming the Doctor's family" - mourning the arc we never got

Some of the actors from the hastily cancelled Star Trek: Starfleet Academy share their opinions on he cancellation and the backlash. Some take it in stride -- while others seemingly RAGE at the audience and... something something, woke woke woke-ity woke wokey.

OOF. According to Red Letter Media, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy had less than 40,000 viewers. If this is true, this show was a MUCH bigger failure than anybody could have possibly imagined. This also explained why it was cancelled ahead of the second season premiere. And no, it's not the fault of YouTube chuds.

The first season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is truly special from top to bottom and we joyously break it all down in our usual TrekRanks style this week with the "Top 5 Starfleet Academy Season 1 Moments." From the introduction to Trek of Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti to the sheer youthful enthusiasm and vigor of the new cast and cadets, this show aced every test thrown its way. Our expert panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guest Jenn Tifft and Michael Bentley cover the entire SFA syllabus with their picks (and also commiserate on the bad timing of learning about the series' long-term demise). This one is non-stop joy. Episode Rundown: Diagnostic Cycle: We break down the five distinct categories we use in our season recap shows. In order, this week's panelists reveal their picks in the following categories: Production Design, Behind-the-Scenes Creative MVP, Dabo Round Wildcard, Character and Episode! We also take a few minutes to discuss the show's cancellation, which occurred just hours before recording. Prime Directive: Our crew breaks down exactly how they defined their lists. The Order of Things: Everyone reveals their picks with the usual "Five word Summary and a Hashtag," along with one episode that helps frame their choice. Secondary Systems: Our guests each rattle off a few additional selections for the picks that just missed our lists! Regeneration Cycle: Everyone recaps their picks and we discuss 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 Starfleet Academy Season 1 Moments. (Or you can record it yourself and just DM us @TrekRanks.com on Bluesky.) Your comments could be used as part of a Temporal Causality Loop on an upcoming episode (and might get you a chance to be a guest on a future episode, too). And don't forget to check out TrekRanks.com for our entire back catalog of episodes and a detailed rundown on every episode of Star Trek ever.

This week we're going all over the map — and we wouldn't have it any other way.

This week, the boys drink and keep it positive as they head back to 1959 to discuss Otto Preminger's “Anatomy of a Murder”. We discuss how it aged, how they wrote and directed a difficult female character, and whether Jimmy Stewart was the best choice for the lawyer in this courtroom drama based on a true story. Before that conversation, we have some spoiler-free mini-reviews of “She Dances”, “Pretty Lethal”, and “Project Hail Mary”.

Danni Hoshino brings us a preview of her Transgender Day of Visibility single release, “Alright”! The veteran folk-rock musician surprised everyone — not least herself — when she came out as a transgender woman in 2022, just weeks before her planned wedding. Gender identity wasn't the only thing that changed. She relocated, became Light Bird on stage, and began working on a soul-baring new album that's expected out in June (interviewed by David Hunt). Birthday wishes to the multi-award-winning Rachel Maddow, the first openly lesbian prime time news anchor in the United States, multi-award-winning David Hyde Pierce, best known for his portrayal of psychiatrist “Niles Crane” on the popular sitcom “Frasier,” and multi-award-winning Black and gay science fiction writer memoirist, and critic Samuel R. “Chip” Delany, known for groundbreaking works like “Dhalgren” and “Babel-17” — all in the Rainbow Minute, along with some memorable dates (written by Sheri Lunn, produced by co-host Brian DeShazor. And in NewsWrap: India's transgender people are stripped of their rights under a new law that upends their legal recognition process, the International Olympic Committee's revived “sex testing” process for all women] effectively bans trans and intersex women from competing in Women's Events, CBS Studios and Paramout Plus are pulling the plug on allegedly “too woke” Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, and more international LGBTQ news reported this week by Michael Lebeau and Nico Raquel (News Editor Ebony Joseph, News Producer Brian DeShazor).

This week, Alex and his guest discuss the big news of the week in an episode-long panel discussion: TrekCore: Breaking — STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY Ends with Season 2, Wrapping Known Kurtzman-Era Productions Alex, Thad, and Caleb discuss their feelings about the end of Starfleet Academy, what this means for the future of Alex Kurtzman and Secret Hideout's role in charge of the Star Trek franchise, whether the franchise will pivot from television shows back to movies, and what shows we would greenlight if Paramount Skydance handed us the keys to Star Trek following Alex Kurtzman.  *** Do you have a wish or theory you'd like to share on the show?

Meta fined $375M for child safety failures. Musk lost 3 lawsuits in a week. Sam Altman compared to a Nazi. Netflix raised prices again. The Pentagon can't quit Claude. Reddit wants your face scan. Star Trek's streaming era is over. But the thin black line holds!

Sony didn't wait long to release the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer we've all been craving and oh, how it delivered! Unsurprisingly, the trailer now holds the record for the most-watched ever, garnering 718.6 million views in a 24-hour period. The new film shows Peter Parker banding together with familiar characters such as Bruce Banner and Frank Castle while he anonymously serves New York City as Spider-Man. Let's not delay - who wants to take a bite out of this big apple first?It's a three-for-one MCU week, with the announcement that a second season of Wonder Man is beginning production, and a title plus release date for the Punisher special presentation. All of the creatives behind Wonder Man are returning for the second season, including Destin Daniel Cretton as director and executive producer. Marvel announced the news with a social media post of the front of the script for the next season. Today, the film studio let us know that the Punisher tv special will be called “One Last Kill,” and is set to drop on May 12 the week after the finale of Daredevil: Born Again season two. So much here to bite off, what are we chewing on the most?Remember how all we can do is rave about Project Hail Mary? Well the box office agrees, as the Ryan Gosling-led film opened to $141 million globally last weekend, with $80.6 of that being domestic. In the era of sequel-verse, Hail Mary rivals only Oppenheimer for being the other film to pass this kind of benchmark that isn't a continuation of a franchise. No one here is surprised, but is the industry?Lightning RoundDisney has announced release dates for Lilo & Stitch 2 which is coming out on May 26, 2028, Memorial Day weekend, and Pixar's Incredibles 3, which debuts on June 16, 2028.Netflix has rounded out the main cast of the upcoming live action Scooby Doo series.

With the USS Athena on the outside of Federation space looking in, the cadets must make the most of their training to save the day. Matt and Pete cross episode 10, “Rubincon.”Thanks as always to everyone who supports the podcast by visiting Patreon.com/PhantasticGeek.Share your feedback by emailing PhantasticGeek@gmail.com, commenting at PhantasticGeek.com, or tweeting @PhantasticGeek.MP3

This week, Transporter Room 3 beams up our review of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's freshman season finale, "Rubincon." And, nope, that's not a typo.Ake (Holly Hunter) struggles through a very chatty tribunal, while the rest of the cadets must save the Earth in a way that, if we were them, we'd expect to skip a few years and go straight to graduation (zing!).A trip to the Replimat and a TNG Red Shirt are also in order, so get comfy in your Captain's chairs and listen now!

We kick things off in FOLLOW UP with the ongoing "nuclear war" between Automattic and WP Engine, where discovery has revealed Matt Mullenweg's alleged hit list of competitors and a desperate attempt to bully payment processors—because nothing says "open source" like an eight-percent royalty shakedown. Meanwhile, the Harvard Business Review confirmed what we already knew: AI isn't reducing our work; it's just compressing it until we're all working through lunch and burning out faster while Polymarket turns our collective brain rot into a literal "attention market" where you can bet on Elon's mindshare.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Elon has officially pivoted SpaceX from Mars to the Moon, presumably because building a "self-growing lunar city" is easier than admitting the Red Planet is hard, though his xAI all-hands rant about "ancient alien catapults" suggests he's been staring at the sun too long. Between X allegedly taking blue-check lunch money from sanctioned Iranian leaders, Meta facing trials for creating "predator-friendly hunting grounds," and Russia finally pulling the plug on WhatsApp, the internet is looking more like a digital dumpster fire than ever. Add in Discord leaking 70,000 government IDs, OpenAI shoving ads into ChatGPT while safety researchers flee the building like it's on fire, and a "cognitive debt" crisis eroding our ability to think, and you've got a recipe for a tech-induced psychosis that even crypto-funded human trafficking can't outpace.In MEDIA CANDY, we're wondering about the soft-core porn intro in the latest Star Trek: Starfleet Academy while Apple buys the total rights to Severance for seventy million dollars—because in-house production is the only way to keep those ballooning budgets under control. Super Bowl trailer season gave us a glimpse of The Mandalorian and Grogu and a Project Hail Mary teaser, while Babylon 5 has finally landed on YouTube for free, proving that even 90s serialized sci-fi eventually finds its way to the clearance bin.Over in APPS & DOODADS, Meta Quest is nagging us for our birthdays like a needy relative, while Roblox had to scrub a mass-shooting simulator—because "AI plus human safety teams" is apparently just code for "we missed it until it hit the forums." Ring's Super Bowl ad for "Search Party" accidentally terrified everyone by revealing a mass surveillance network for pets that's a slippery slope toward a police state, and Waymo is now paying DoorDashers ten bucks just to walk over and close the car doors that autonomous tech still can't figure out.Wrapping up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we dive into the Mandalorian Hasbro reveal where Sigourney Weaver's action figure comes with no accessories because her existence is enough of a flex. We explore the grim reality of "RentAHuman," where humans are paid pittance to pretend AI agents are actually doing work, and look at "Trash Talk Audio," which sells a $125 microphone made out of a literal old telephone for that authentic Gen-X "get off the line, I'm expecting a call" aesthetic. From Marcia Lucas finally venting about the prequels and a rare book catalog specifically for our aging generation, we're reminded that while the future is a chaotic mess of "GeoSpy" AI and corporate reshuffling at Disney, at least we still have our cynical memories and some free versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon to keep us from losing it completely.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

In this week's FOLLOW UP, Bitcoin is down 15%, miners are unplugging rigs because paying eighty-seven grand to mine a sixty-grand coin finally failed the vibes check, and Grok is still digitally undressing men—suggesting Musk's “safeguards” remain mostly theoretical, which didn't help when X offices got raided in France. Spain wants to ban social media for kids under 16, Egypt is blocking Roblox outright, and governments everywhere are flailing at the algorithmic abyss.IN THE NEWS, Elon Musk is rolling xAI into SpaceX to birth a $1.25 trillion megacorp that wants to power AI from orbit with a million satellites, because space junk apparently wasn't annoying enough. Amazon admits a “high volume” of CSAM showed up in its AI training data and blames third parties, Waymo bags a massive $16 billion to insist robotaxis are working, Pinterest reportedly fires staff who built a layoff-tracking tool, and Sam Altman gets extremely cranky about Claude's Super Bowl ads hitting a little too close to home.For MEDIA CANDY, we've got Shrinking, the Grammys, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's questionable holographic future, Neil Young gifting his catalog to Greenland while snubbing Amazon, plus Is It Cake? Valentines and The Rip.In APPS & DOODADS, we test Sennheiser earbuds, mess with Topaz Video, skip a deeply cursed Python script that checks LinkedIn for Epstein connections, and note that autonomous cars and drones will happily obey prompt injection via road signs—defeated by a Sharpie.IN THE LIBRARY, there's The Regicide Report, a brutal study finding early dementia signals in Terry Pratchett's novels, Neil Gaiman denying allegations while announcing a new book, and THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, vibing with The Muppet Show as Disney names a new CEO. We round it out with RentAHuman.ai dread relief via paper airplane databases, free Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert—still classy in the digital wasteland.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.
