Podcasts about star trek strange new worlds

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds wird zur Soap Opera. Weil auf der Enterprise offenbar noch nicht genug passiert.

In this episode, the boys discuss Lanterns, Star Trek Strange New Worlds, The Last house and Silo.

Disaster strikes the Enterprise in two different ways this week on Transporter Room 3, with our reviews of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "Off-Hour" and "Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass."The former is "24 meets The Poseidon Adventure" in space, and the latter puts Pike and his crew into a soap opera. No, really. One we really liked, the other we have some questions about. News wise? We have a small update on what could be the next Star Trek movie, which seems to be going in a very Crimson Tide direction. We also stop by the Replimat and prep another photon tube for this week's Red Shirt. So watch out for slipstream wormholes and listen now!

This week, Eric and Josh are joined by Emily to discuss: Fan Expo, hosting panels, Tim Curry, social media wrangling, Aladdin, Lion King 1 1/2, Ed Wood, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and more! Plus, they mention the movies screening the week of Friday September 4 - Thursday September 10, 2026: Dear You, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, Boorman and the Devil, Exorcist II: The Heretic, The Lion King, Chicken Run, Mystery Science Theater: The RiffTrax Experiments: Sting of Death, and Star Trek's: The Motion Picture, The Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home.

This week on Science Faction, we've got sick hosts, recovering rats, California fires, extremely low-tuned guitars, and more Star Trek than you can shake a tricorder at. Devon also somehow turns movie night into legal analysis before discovering that his children have absolutely no interest in Harry Potter—forcing him to take matters into his own hands. Real Life Devon kicks things off with the DigiTech Drop pedal, a piece of guitar gear that lets you digitally drop your tuning without having to completely retune or swap guitars. That leads us down the increasingly low-pitched rabbit hole of modern metalcore bands, how they're tuning their guitars, and just how low a guitar can go before it stops being a guitar and becomes heavy machinery. Steven, meanwhile, has been dealing with the sickness that wouldn't leave. Sometimes you get sick, recover, and move on with your life. Other times your immune system apparently signs up for a limited series. Ben has an update on the rat tumor saga following surgery, complete with tiny socks, medication, and all the complications that come with providing postoperative care to an animal that has absolutely no idea why you're doing any of this. And because apparently we needed another reminder that we live in California: the state is on fire again. Ben talks about keeping tabs on everything with Watch Duty, which provides real-time wildfire maps, alerts, evacuation information, fire perimeters, and other emergency information. Movies, Lawyers, and Questionable Taste Devon has also been watching movies, starting with Bugonia on Netflix. The sci-fi black comedy from director Yorgos Lanthimos stars Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons and involves two conspiracy-obsessed men who become convinced that a powerful CEO is actually an alien. Then there's Coyote vs. Acme. Devon enjoyed it, but being a lawyer means he naturally has some thoughts about what happens when you apply even the slightest amount of legal scrutiny to a movie about Wile E. Coyote. He also watched Anatomy of a Fall, a French courtroom drama with a distinctly 1970s feel. It's serious, methodical, and very much outside our normal science-fiction wheelhouse. So why is Devon talking about it? We're wondering the same thing. Strange New Worlds and Old-School Trek Ben brings us back where we belong with the latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, "Off-Hour", including the return of Phil Boyce, a character whose roots stretch all the way back to the original Star Trek pilot era. That naturally sends us into Trek history, potential future casting for McCoy and Sulu, and a discussion of Brian Markinson. From there, we get into the famous professional competition between William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Star Trek became a phenomenon. It's exactly the kind of conversation where one episode of modern Trek somehow requires discussing television made roughly 60 years ago. Lanterns and Dungeon Crawler Carl Steven is three episodes into Lanterns, and the verdict remains the same: this show is really good. The series continues to work as an adult police procedural that happens to exist inside a comic-book universe rather than simply being another conventional superhero show. He's also gone back into the world of Dungeon Crawler Carl with the release of the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG PDFs. Steven is relistening to the first audiobook while digging into the game, and so far the designers seem to have nailed the ridiculous, violent, funny tone that makes the books work. Larry Johnson and the Sorcerer's Stone Finally, Devon decided it was time to introduce his kids to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. They refused. Rather than accept defeat, Devon did what any reasonable parent would do: he started reading them Larry Johnson and the Sorcerer's Stone instead. Apparently, changing the name was enough. So far, they love it. Parenting is mostly marketing.

Anika and Liz face an unexpected emergency situation: a ... good episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?  We're discussing "Off Hour", and in a shocking twist -- we like it! Pike does some good captaining AND spends a big chunk of the episode unconscious! Erica has real command potential! Scotty/Enterprise slow burn coworkers to lovers SNW takes Christine Chapel's rather sexist 1960s backstory and persona (she joined Starfleet to find her lost fiancé! She's hung up on a guy who isn't interested!) and goes, "What if she's not the tragic spinster, but a woman who is absolutely unhinged in her dedication to the people she loves?"  In short, we are not here to be normal about Christine and Joseph's platonic codependent relationship Let! Christine! Have! An! Axe! All! The! Time! Okay, we just said that Christine and Joseph were platonic, but we have to ask: have they hooked up?

Feierabend auf der Enterprise? Das Universum hat den Dienstplan offenbar nicht bekommen. In „Off-Hour“, der sechsten Folge der vierten Staffel von Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, gerät die Enterprise in einen Slipstream, der sie auf eine katastrophale Warp-Schwelle zutreibt. Klingt nach einem Arbeitstag, für den selbst die Sternenflotte vermutlich keine korrekte Überstundenregelung besitzt. Wir sprechen über SNW S04E06, Warp, Katastrophenkino, Star-Trek-Geschichte und die üblichen wissenschaftlichen Abzweigungen, auf denen wir irgendwann vergessen, warum wir ursprünglich losgegangen sind. ⚠️ Die Podcastfolge ist eine vollständige Episodenbesprechung und enthält entsprechend Spoiler zu „Off-Hour“.

This week, the Science Faction crew has rats, road trips, gaming marathons, and some surprisingly good superhero television before asking an important question: what happens when your dog gets its own digital assistant? We also look at a new weapon in the fight against AI scraping and tease what Steven has coming next week. Real Life Ben has some unfortunate pet news this week: tumors have appeared on one of the family rats. Meanwhile, the "fat" rat has been put on a diet, so apparently even the rodents are dealing with health and wellness goals. On the entertainment side, Ben wonders whether Star Trek: Strange New Worlds may finally be getting a little too strange. Joe Lo Truglio, best known as Charles Boyle on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, enters the conversation and gives us plenty to talk about. Devon has returned from Boston — but not the band. While there, he took one of the city's famous duck tours aboard an amphibious vehicle and ventured out on a ghost tour populated mostly by people in character. Somewhere along the way, we also discover that Devon may be skeptical about cemeteries. Thankfully, he has no tumor news to report. Steven, meanwhile, had an epic gaming weekend. That included Marvel Zombies, a game of Dungeon Crawl Classics, and a trip into the weird west with We Deal in Lead. He also checked out Lanterns and came away impressed. It's a genuinely good police procedural made for adults that also happens to exist in a comic-book universe. Future or Now Ben starts us off with a question inspired by something he saw on a morning walk: What if your digital assistant lived on your dog's collar? Imagine a near-future version of Dug from Up. We're probably not about to translate canine brain waves into speech, but a smart collar equipped with local AI, sensors, and a memory of your dog's life could do quite a bit. The collar could remember veterinary instructions and medication schedules, giving owners an easy way to keep track of their pet's care. That could be especially useful for elderly pet owners or anyone managing a complicated treatment schedule. It could also provide context when something goes wrong. If your dog eats something it shouldn't, sensors and location data might help determine where it happened and what the animal encountered. Instead of answering the vet's questions with a shrug, you'd potentially have an actual record. Then there's passive health monitoring. Think of it as an Apple Watch for dogs: heart rate, temperature, activity, blood oxygen, sleep, and other measurements tracked continuously. Rather than waiting for obvious symptoms, changes from an individual animal's normal baseline could provide an early warning that something isn't right. But putting an always-listening, always-sensing computer around your dog's neck creates an obvious problem: privacy. The device potentially knows where you go, when you're home, what your routines look like, and even what your house sounds like. Who owns that information? Where is it stored? Who can access it? A completely local system trained only around the pet could mitigate some of those concerns, but the temptation to turn that information into another giant pool of commercially valuable data would be enormous. That's the tension at the heart of the idea. The same technology could have tremendous benefits for animal health and welfare while simultaneously creating another surveillance system following us through our daily lives. We've already seen how technologies like automated license-plate readers can expand far beyond their original use cases. Ben would very much prefer that his helpful talking dog collar not eventually become the Canine Gestapo. Devon brings us another front in the ongoing battle over AI and the internet: "Devious New Font Turns AI Scrapers Into Mincemeat." Researchers have developed a font designed to remain readable to humans while confusing automated systems scraping text for AI. The idea opens up a much larger discussion about the future of AI training, ownership of online material, and whether technical tools can give creators more control over how their work is collected and used. If AI is going to remain part of our lives, finding ways to build systems around ethically sourced data may become increasingly important. Steven doesn't have a Future or Now story this week—but that's because he's saving something for next time. Consider this your tease for next week's episode.

Anika and Liz, very much against their better judgement, watch The Puppet Episode. Yes, it's Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "Level Five Transporter Accident", and we are using words like "I regret having a Star Trek podcast" and "it's a crime against humanity".  Hey, it's not as offensive as "Four and a Half Vulcans" Anika talks about the ancient art of puppetry, commedia dell'arte and Punch and Judy This episode does not understand the point of the "leave one human and the rest of the characters are played by Muppets" meme In fairness, it also does not understand why Muppets are funny The "joke" about Pike's chair This is the third episode of the season where Spock is seeing things Spock: what is wrong with this allegedly grown man  "My girlfriend has been having a hard time and I did not reach out to support her, why did she break up with me?" "So all of that happened for no reason." La'an the reverse Pinocchio (not even the first woman in SNW who aspires to become an object!) Liz got so irate she gestured violently and knocked over her water bottle. We are not good at podcasting. We are sorry.   Manchild instrumental by Janette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcpU4-auc54; song by S. Carpenter, A. Allen and J. Antonoff

In this episode of From the Holodeck, we review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 4.03, “Human Best Friend,” a broad amnesia-driven buddy comedy that raises questions about the changing style and sophistication of humor in contemporary Star Trek.

Send us Fan MailJoe Lo Truglio and Rachael Harris join Open Pike Night to talk about joining Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as Orion pirates on "Level-Five Transporter Accident" — and the absolute joy and chaos of doing it with Muppets.Joe and Rachael reveal who on set they got star struck by, fanboying out on the Enterprise bridge, the incredible costumes and makeup, and getting to play characters very different from the ones they're usually known for. Joe reveals the inspiration behind his douchey LA-rocker Orion (and what aspect of him he tried to emulate in real life), while Rachael talks about her previous Star Trek: Voyager appearance—and the embarrassing photo involving her and a Pike puppet that probably shouldn't see the light of day.Send your voice hail to OPNEmail your call to openpike@gmail.comSign up for the OPN NewsletterVisit our website OpenPike.comPlease Check out our MerchSupport us on PatreonFollow @openpike on TwitterFollow @openpike.bsky.social on Blue SkyFollow OpenPike on InstagramFollow Openpike on Youtube

It's Antimatter Pod, but we're in black and white! We're discussing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, season 4, episode 4, "A Case of Chiaroscuro". Did Anika include a pronunciation guide in the show notes? She sure did!  This episode scales the giddy heights of "it's fine, I guess" "It's interested in the aesthetics of resistance without actually exploring what it is we're resisting."  Imagine if this episode spent less time having characters tell each other stuff they already know, and more time exploring those characters Don't learn anti-fascist opsec from a Star Trek podcast, but definitely don't follow the example of this fake resistance whose leader keeps photos and a database in her office This week we are TEAM LA'AN and also SPOCK STOP UNDERMINING HER Christine is a better boyfriend to La'an than Spock She has to be sidelined this season or else she would be TOO AWESOME A CHARACTER Maybe La'an deserves to stab Spock a little

Season One  Some scenes deserve a conversation all their own. The SyFy Sistas Scene Draft continues! Each month, we'll revisit Season 1 of a different Star Trek series, one scene at a time. This time, we're diving into Season 1 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Each Sista brings her picks across five categories: the scene that changed how we looked at a character, broke our heart, made us fall in love with Star Trek all over again, hit differently on a rewatch, and was better than the entire episode. Three Sistas. Fifteen scenes. Every pick has a story. 

It's all TV all the time, because we talk every episode of Batman: Caped Crusader season 2, the finale of X-Men '97 season 2, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds gets silly, and Reacher fumbles its opening, but turns it around.https://www.editorsnotecomics.comhttps://www.patreon.com/editorsnotecomicsPop Culture News 9:05Weird Comics Facts 28:10Sports Report 31:05Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, Episode 3 39:15X-Men '97 Season 2, Episode 9 48:15Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2 58:15Who Should Be The Next James Bond? 01:20:55

Kpop Demon Hunters has taken the world by storm, and settled itself deep in the hearts of many trans people, myself included. Is it a trans allegory? Let's take a look and see what this remarkable animated film has to say about transness. We discuss context, names, and dive in by timestamps! And yes, we talk about "Golden". Comic writer Jeremy Holt joins us to discuss the difference between gender and sexuality, and how it's never too late to reshape yourself if you just add water. Are you aggressively hetero?

In this week's episode of TR3, we delve into the ghostly depths of the USS Griffin for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "The Griffin Incident"... before encountering something even more horrifying, the comedic episode "Human Best Friend"!OK, maybe we're exaggerating, but while we really liked the creepy "The Griffin Incident" -- with some reservations -- "Human Best Friend" is, to paraphrase the Comic Book Guy, one of the worst episodes of Strange New Worlds ever. So listen to Transporter Room 3 to hear us complain about it... and more!

How do you manage to fumble Dave Foley? We're talking one of the worst episodes in the history of the franchise, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 4x03, "Human Best Friend".

The AI industry spent the week arguing with itself, which is honestly the healthiest thing it's done in years. One coalition led by Nvidia begged regulators not to slow down open AI models, while more than 1,100 AI workers signed another letter asking regulators to do exactly that. Anthropic warned about bioweapons, OpenAI admitted the four-hour workweek isn't happening after all, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella reminded everyone that building your entire business on someone else's AI is a fantastic way to outsource your own brain. In other words, the people selling the future still can't agree on what they're selling, except that you'd better buy it fast.Meanwhile, the AI bubble keeps demanding sacrifices. Patreon, BuzzFeed, and Uber all swung the layoff axe while insisting AI isn't replacing humans... it's just reorganizing them out of a paycheck. Nvidia is floating another three-quarters of a trillion dollars in infrastructure deals that have people muttering "AI subprime mortgage crisis," China has discovered there's money in renting your face to AI companies, and the U.S. is carving data centers out of pollution rules because apparently acid rain is a small price to pay for chatbot dominance. Add in ChatGPT suddenly refusing to imitate famous authors, researchers discovering AI coding assistants are happily installing malware if you ask nicely, and Meta launching an ad campaign about the wonders of AI that somehow forgets to mention what any of those wonders actually are.Elsewhere in Tech Hell™, eBay finally paid the price for its executives' unhinged harassment campaign involving pig masks and live insects, Elon is shopping The Boring Company while promising money won't matter in the AI utopia of 2036, and a traveler is headed to court after allegedly triggering GrapheneOS's "duress PIN" during a border search. We also hit Media Candy with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Silo, Blade Runner 2099 and Neuromancer, celebrate Dave Bittner's birthday, marvel at Jason's ever-growing Boneyard of dead websites, and somehow end up discussing thermal cameras, piano repair, and old-man bladder supplements. Because that's what happens when Gen X gets older - we just add more tabs instead of closing the old ones.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.StoryBlocks - For a limited time, they're offering 15% off any annual plan at storyblocks.com/gogPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
