We bid farewell to Starfleet Academy with its final three issues and we have some big feelings about it!

In der aktuellen Folge des Star Trek Newsflash Podcasts des TrekZone Networks werfen Gregor und Janik einen Blick zurück auf den ersten Streaming-Film der Franchise, Star Trek: Section 31, und diskutieren die bevorstehenden Serienstarts von Strange New Worlds Staffel 3 sowie der neuen Serie Starfleet Academy.

In this caffeine-fueled installment of News & Brews, we're back from D.C. and brimming with Trek news, wild ideas, and hot partnerships! We kick things off by celebrating William Shatner's 94th birthday and announcing some huge news: partnerships with Fansets and Nubeo Watches—don't forget to use code OPP50 for 50% off! Then we dive headfirst into the world of Star Trek: from the curious case of a Deep Space Nine musical that almost happened, to whispers of a romance that never made it to screen between Damar and Kira. (Seriously, it's juicy.) We've got thoughts on Jonathan Frakes' insights into Starfleet Academy—including why it's aimed at the "hardcore" fans and what a spaceship the size of your mom's disappointment has to do with it. Plus, we warp into Universal Studios' upcoming Fan Fest Nights and the return of the real Enterprise-D bridge set. Add in some Klingon snacks, Earl Grey tea (hot and cold), and a nod to the underrated brilliance of the current IDW Star Trek comics, and you've got yourself one jam-packed episode. Strap in. Drink up. Engage.

In this episode, we dive into the current pulse of the Star Trek universe. Ronald D. Moore opens up about his creative burnout and why he needed space from the franchise—but could a return be on the horizon? Jonathan Frakes teases Starfleet Academy with massive sets, a star-studded cast, and a tone tailored for hardcore...

We learn all about T'Priell and the whole Romulan/Vulcan thing. The bad news: she's dead. The good news: she's kind of not!

In unserer ersten Star Trek-Newsfolge des Jahres 2025 blicken wir zurück und nach vorne!

Hey Trekkies and nerds! We're chatting about 2024—big goodbyes and new beginnings in the Star Trek universe. We're saying bye to Star Trek Discovery and Lower Decks, but not without a nod to their epic runs. Looking to 2025, we're excited for the Starfleet Academy series. Plus, the Section 31 movie with Michelle Yeoh is coming in January 2025—full of espionage and intrigue. And Strange New Worlds is back, mixing fresh and nostalgic feels. Here's a fun twist: Tawney Newsom is creating a workplace comedy in the Star Trek universe, inspired by a Deep Space Nine episode. Will it be as awesome as Lower Decks? We're at a crossroads, folks. Will Starfleet Academy and Section 31 usher in a new golden age, or will Trek get lost in the shuffle? And seriously, are we ever getting that fourth Kelvin movie?

As their friendship evolves, Pike also suspects Una is involved with the Euxhana, a Chionian cultural minority, who are seeking asylum in Federation space, leading to more questions than answers.Twenty-five years later, Una and Pike are working together on the USS Enterprise to settle a Chionian trade agreement when a pro-Euxhana saboteur launches a terrorist attack.

Welcome to Gene-ology, where we explore the earliest TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek! Gene-ology examines "Beyond Atlas", a one-off script for an unmade series might have been "West Point, but for the Air Force Academy" - except that, as written by Gene Roddenberry, it reads like a pitch for Starfleet Academy, which is impressive considering it was written mere weeks after Sputnik changed the world. Join us as we dig into the Roddenberry archives and discuss how Gene's early writing shaped the groundbreaking worlds he would later bring to our screens.

Star Trek has never been more popular, with five series made since 2018 and another one focused on Star Fleet around the corner. The continued popularity of the series remains rooted in its long-standing formula of strong character development, visually stunning space exploration and a quest for a better future. A look at the legacy of the franchise and why it remains relevant more than 50 years after the premier of the original series, with Robert Picardo, who played the Doctor on seven seasons of Star Trek Voyager.
