Whittling Down Season Four (TNG) to 10 episodesLove it or hate it, today's Trek means less episodes than the 20th Century series. For some, it's a sign of tighter storytelling, focusing on quality plot and themes. For others, it means missing episodes that are more "day in the life," outside of one season's particular villain/mystery. Or maybe it's just show business wanting to spend less money!Whatever the reason, the trio is going back in time and translating old series of Trek into today's franchise format. What if season four of The Next Generation were made today? They look at the initial 26(!) episodes and chop it down to a 10-episode season. Will it be one coherent theme or random episodes? Will it be all about the Borg or Klingon politics? Will there be a focus on characters or "just vibes"? Take a listen and find out what episodes made the cut!

The Evolution of FandomThe trio are all (on a spectrum...) children of the 90s. They all embraced "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as their first Trek and expanded their love of the Trek franchise from there. They discuss how they entered the fandom and how it evolved over the decades until the 2009 "reboot" movie. Did their favorite series remain the same? How did they get to know The Original Series' episodes and movies? How did they engage with "Deep Space Nine," "Voyager," and "Enterprise"? They also examine the different ways they engaged from fandom, from cons, games, podcasts, and more.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3169638/advertisement

After episodes on Star Trek II and Star Trek III, our five episode mission- which I'm calling #mysummerofstartrek- takes a change of course this week as we move to TV and to the crew of The Enterprise as captained by Jean-Luc Picard. Yep, that's right we're talking TNG as Paul, Kieran and I discuss the episode 'Q Who'. So that's Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2, Episode 16- an excellent episode of television where the crew of the ship encounter mega-villains the Borg. You can expect conversation about the Borg (from their debut here right up to their recent appearance in Picard series 3), talk of John de Lancie's Q, comparisons to Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica and Firefly, the allure of William T. Riker, going for a wee in Star Trek uniform and much, much more. And where do we go from here? Well, next time around we discuss 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home'. But for now.... ENGAGE!

Ship of the Line.

Get ready to be inside joy this week as we finally reach the first TNG film: "Star Trek: Generations"!Mikanhana of Sailor Noob and Just Enough Trope returns to the show this week to discuss the Next Generation crew's first foray onto the big screen. When the Enterprise-D responds to an innocent distress call, her crew finds themselves drawn into an interstellar conspiracy with a deadly purpose. Picard must literally race against time to save his crew and prevent more destruction and he'll need the help of a long "dead" Starfleet legend...Captain James T. Kirk!The TOS series of films had its ups and downs, but it went out about as well as it possibly could with the excellent Star Trek VI. Now, it was a new crew's turn to take the reins. A crew who had proven popularity on the small screen but was yet untested at the box-office. What began as a possibly calculated move--the inclusion of former franchise star William Shatner in the film--became instead a unique and rewarding opportunity to let both franchises meet on-screen and to see the torch passed, from one generation to another. On this episode, we talk about familiar and yet unfamiliar sight of Next Gen on the big screen, the new cinematic look of TNG, the way the film captures the heart and the intellect of the series, the new facets of characters like Picard and Data, the poignant themes of change and loss, and why it's okay that your movie "feels like a long episode."We also discuss TV shows and movies swapping roles, the birth of unhelpful criticism, the James Cameron sequel, thanking Melinda Snodgrass, the mystery of 47, getting Geordi an iPhone, hangin' with Nana, racing RedLetterMedia, the punchiest captain in Starfleet history, running out of Data stories, throwing women overboard, the Riker/Worf broship, Big Kirk Bi Energy, that Nexus sweet spot, Beef Jerky Sting, groundhog eggs, and saying goodbye to the D!Hug your cat; you never know!Follow Just Enough Trope and Sailor Moon on Twitter and give them a listen!https://twitter.com/justenoughtropehttps://twitter.com/noob_sailorLearn the story behind your favorite Trek episodes with BackTrekking!http://www.twitter.com/backtrekkingWait 'til Tuesday with us on Facebook and Twitter and the Just Enough Trope Discord!http://www.facebook.com/eistpodhttp://www.twitter.com/eistpodhttps://discord.gg/WVvCHVWqzfBuy us a fire engine on Patreon and Ko-Fi!http://www.patreon.com/eistpodhttps://ko-fi.com/E1E01M2UASubscribe to the show on iTunes!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprising-individuals/id1113165661?mt=2

Thank you to everyone who sent me this trailer. As a Trekkie, I got a little emotional! Paramount Plus has announced a hell of a doozy for season 3. In what will be Picard's final season, the series will reunite the crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation for the season's main cast.Also, Swifties are actually trying to buy NYU graduates' tickets, with some offering as much as $500 a ticket! Twitter is getting some updates and more on today's episode.

This week in the wake of all the narratives out there, we decided to turn that dial back to the 1940s and revisit what it means to grow a garden to supplement rations in the wake of WWII

Thomas Riker, Season 7 - Part 1 In the second part of our trilogy on the transporter-created character of Lieutenant Thomas Riker, we continue to explore how Thomas could have changed the course of The Next Generation. In the creation of the "Second Chances" story, some writers raised the possibility of killing off Commander William Riker, and - in essence - replacing him with Thomas Riker, allowing Data to become the new first officer of the Enterprise-D, and allowing new adventures to unfold. We examine the first half of season seven of TNG, exploring how the death of Cmdr Riker, the promotion of Data, and the integration of Thomas Riker would affect the rest of the episodes. How do Picard and Thomas relate to each other during the events of the two-parter "Gambit"? How does the surprise reappearance of Will Riker work in "Parallels"? Let us know if you prefer a Thomas or Will timeline during season seven.

I delve into the TNG episode "The Last Outpost."  Let's discuss how useful an energy whip would actually be.

Imagine flying through the galaxy, minding your own business and suddenly you see a structure that is very large. It's so big, in fact, that it surrounds a star! It's a Dyson Sphere! This week we explore the concept of a Dyson Sphere, first seen in the Star Trek universe in the Season 6 episode "Relics" from The Next Generation. First proposed in 1937, the concept was first scientifically theorized by futurists Freeman Dyson in 1960. This week hosts Kelly Casto and Bob Turner talk about this concept and what it might actually look like, scientifically speaking. *** In The Unofficial Trek Podcast, hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto give their "Unofficial" take on the Star Trek universe.  From 2019 through 2019, Bob and Kelly hosted the show 70s Trek. It was a look at the events that brought a cancelled, 1960s TV show back from the dead to become a blockbuster movie in 1979. It was a decade that created a multi-million dollar franchise. Now Bob and Kelly will look at the minutia, the concepts, the people and the news pertaining to the Star Trek Universe. It's a fascinating time for Star Trek, with a flood of content about it on the internet. Bob and Kelly will give their "Unofficial" take. Why unofficial? Because their views are just that, they are theirs and are, therefore, "unofficial." It's a fresh look at Star Trek from two lifelong fans who have been talking Trek for over 35 years! We hope you'll join Bob and Kelly for their next venture, The Unofficial Trek Podcast.

This week on Episode 526 of Priority One:  the Next Generation of tours is in full swing at Ticonderoga, set photos from Picard Season 3, Star Trek Online gets spoOoOoOoky in their first Halloween special, and we review the latest episode of Lower Decks: "wej Duj"! TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds Touring the Next Generation in Ticonderoga By Elio Lleo Over the years, we've had the privilege of attending some phenomenal Star Trek themed events and exhibits [or seething with jealousy at it–Ed.], but few are as spectacular as what you'll find in the sleepy town of Ticonderoga, New York. You see, James Cawley–who grew to fame as an Elvis impersonator–is also a die-hard Trekkie. His passion was so great that he decided to rebuild the sets for The Original Series where an old retail store used to be. He didn't just want to build the Enterprise…he wanted to recreate the old Desilu Set. Closest we'll probably come to having a religious experience. Image: Star Trek Set Tours. Now, after 4 years of being open to the public, Cawley is expanding! As they work to acquire an adjacent building, Cawley and his team have begun diligently recreating the sets from The Next Generation. Local news station WCAX got a sneak peak of their progress: when speaking to reporter Cat Viglienzoni, Cawley explains he has all the original blueprints as well as a direct line to Star Trek's legendary creators Mike and Denise Okuda. Star Trek: Picard Producer's Sweet Sneak Peek Pics By Cat Hough If you've been following Star Trek: Picard executive producer and co-showrunner, Terry Matalas on Twitter, then you've seen the images he's been sharing from the set of the show. If you are not following him, then you may want to. Since Season 2 has wrapped filming, the images he posted are likely sneak peaks from season three–either way, they are definitely interesting.  https://twitter.com/TerryMatalas/status/1442660363573465090?s=20 The images are all from what appears to be a Starfleet vessel from the late 24th century: the first image features the helm console for the ship, with Matalas noting the LCARS interface introduced on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Also of particular interest: the replicator display and table setting that includes a 24th-century Starfleet emblem and some new sci-fi cutlery. We still don't know what the second season holds, but we have been told that the Q storyline will wrap up in Season 2. It's also very likely that Jonathan Frakes will return to direct some episodes of Season 3.  https://twitter.com/TerryMatalas/status/1445033217875070977?s=20 Episodic Season Habit (It Becomes Automatic) By Cat Hough Anson Mount recently spoke about Strange New Worlds, echoing Akiva Goldsman's description of the show: “we wanted our show to be more or less a throwback in every way we could... which meant more of an episodic structure. And so every episode is a distinct story...but the star of the show is the ship and the big idea of the week.” Bridge to Astrocartography, figure out why we keep getting lost in those eyes. Image: TrekMovie.com As we've also discussed on prior episodes, filming for Strange New Worlds was done using Augmented Reality and Mount also spoke about that experience, saying, “It's wild, man. Imagine an entire soundstage where the walls are all high-definition screens and there's a ceiling projection...it's really interesting to be in these environments because it's a whole other level of filmmaking than I've ever seen before.”  A release date for Strange New Worlds has not been announced, yet. A big thanks to TrekMovie for sharing this exclusive interview from their coverage of Star Trek Day. Quick News Roundup Here are a few headlines that we didn't discuss but might interest you. In book news, the first novel in the Star Trek: Coda series has been released. This trilogy continues the adventures of characters from The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. The three books in the trilogy are Moments Asunder by Dayton Ward, The Ashes of Tomorrow by James Swallow, and Oblivion's Gate by David Mack. Moments Asunder is already available, with the two sequels following in October and November. The pre-order pages include synopses for the books, revealing a plot dealing in time travel. Plus, we got another glimpse at the upcoming Prodigy animated series. Nickelodeon recently tweeted a new trailer with the announcement that the show premieres on October 28. Finally, are you ready to take flight on a midlife crisis of cosmic proportions? Then you should definitely trek out the series idea from the creators of Saturday Night Live. This new show would be titled “Star Trek: Ego Quest,” following the voyages of the SS New Shepard and its crew of random weirdos. Its mission: to just...sort of fly around space goofing off in a ship that looks like a penis. https://youtu.be/XD66suMp3J4 STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds By the Spiking of My DPS, Something Wicked This Way Leaps By Rosco McQueen Replicate yourself a pumpkin spice raktajino and prepare to carve out a new experience in Star Trek Online:  the MMO announced this week it will hold its first ever Halloween event!   “Captains will find themselves transported to an ancient castle on Pyris VII. The classic aliens from the Original Series episode ‘Catspaw', the Old Ones, have returned once again to study humanity–but their plans have been disrupted by the Devidians!” Honestly the idea of redoing "Knowledge is Power" is scarier. Image: Cryptic Studios. The three week event will be a single activity, where playing the event TFO “Cat's Tale!” every 20 hours rewards you with the usual one daily progress token. After 14 days of progress you unlock the event rewards: the Transmuter Wand Universal Kit Module, the Old One Vanity Pet, with the first character receiving 25,000 Dilithium Ore, and 3 Featured Episode Reward Boxes. The Universal Kit Module - Transmuter Wand will transform your target into a sentient black cat, complete with Bad Luck Aura! The aura disables shields and most powers to nearby allies, who will flee in fear from the frightful feline.   What every kid wants this Halloween, a subspace bubble wand. Image: Cryptic Studios. The event will be available on all platforms on October 13. An interesting note is that this will become a regular annual event, similar to First Contact Day. The article notes it begins with the one TFO, with plans to grow the event year-on-year with more content.

The Salty Nerds are back for another Star Trek episode, this time talking about the last two Next Generation movies, Insurrection and Nemesis, as well as the documentary Chaos on the Bridge, about the early years of the Next Gen TV series.

The Salty Nerds move into the Next Generation era of Star Trek by looking at the first two TNG movies (Generations and First Contact) as well as the two-parter that put The Next Generation series on the map, The Best of Both Worlds parts 1 & 2. So get ready to boldly go into the Next Generation, Nerds!

This week, on Episode 513 of Priority One: Noah Hawley speaks out about what happened with his Star Trek project, Michelle Paradise talks about a canon wishlist, Ronald D. Moore shares some history about TNG's “Redemption” episodes; in Gaming, Star Trek Online is ready to hit the beaches of Risa with this year's summer event; lastly, Dr. Robert Hurt helps us solve the mystery of Orion's incredible dimming star. This week's Community Questions are: In the same way fans clamor for the DC Snyder-verse and Batfleck, should we rally behind Hawley to see his Star Trek project created? What canonical stories or characters do you think Discovery could explore well? Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds Who Mourns for Hawley? By Elio Lleo In a recent interview with Deadline's Pete Hammond, Noah Hawley addresses his disappointment that his vision for a Star Trek film didn't come to fruition. When asked about the project he had this to say:  “In retrospect, what surprised me is not that Emma Watts came in and said ‘are you people crazy? This is an untested crew, this is an original idea, we don't know if this is going to work or not work.' It's that I got as far as I did...it was a really fun movie, and I think it would've been a great film. But you can't control these things, so you move on.” Image: FX, via Deadline. Now you might have heard Hawley name-drop Emma Watts. Watts replaced Wyck Godfrey as President of the Paramount Motion Picture Group back in June 2020. That leads us to our first community question this week: In the same way fans clamor for the DC Snyder-verse and Batfleck, should we rally behind Hawley to see his Star Trek project created? Let us know in the comment section for this episode at priorityonepodcast.com or by replying to our community question post on our social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Wishing for Season 4 By Elio Lleo While we're on the topic of interviews, The Hollywood Reporter Presents Q&A video series featured Sonequa Martin-Green, Michelle Paradise, and Olatunde Osunsanmi of Star Trek: Discovery. The conversation focused a great deal on Season 3 and repeated a lot of things we've already heard. Perhaps the one question asked that deviated from the norm was, what canonical plots or characters are on the writer's room wish list, to which Michelle Paradise replied: “at the start of any season...we have these questions about what are the awesome things in canon that we haven't touched on yet? Or where are the opportunities, like this season with the Guardian of Forever? Having sixty years of history is so much fun, to be able to bring in some of these things. And then, thanks to the time jump, we're actually a bit ahead of many of those things. We aren't trying to marry them to our current timeframe, so we can play a little bit more.” Only Grudge is better at adhering to an NDA. Image: ViacomCBS, via DenOfGeek. They went on to praise the cast and crew for their incredible work behind the scenes and in front of the camera. When asked about Season 4, Paradise's answer was incredibly vague, though---sticking to an answer that didn't give anything away. That leads us to our next community question this week: What canonical stories or characters do you think Discovery could explore well? Re-Lorca-tion Expenses By Cat Hough Do you ever find yourself wondering what it would take to get Lorca back into Star Trek? [Nope.-Ed.] Well, wonder no more---the man himself, Jason Isaacs, told comicbook.com the answer. And it's simple: have a good script. Contract negotiations, am I right? Image: ViacomCBS, via The Hollywood Reporter. But is that answer simple? One would hope so...or at least hope the right script is out there. Because Isaacs won't take just any role. He says that he “[h]ad a fantastic time on Star Trek, I loved all the people, I love being part of that universe, and Prime Lorca, the Prime Universe version of my captain, has yet to be found. But I wouldn't go back just to be in it, I'd go back if you had a great story to tell." Isaacs' latest on-screen appearance was in Creation Stories, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 16th. Moore's “Redemption” By Rosco McQueen This week marks 30 years since the cliffhanger episode “Redemption, Part 1” originally went to air. It laid a lot of the foundations for Klingon culture, thanks to writer Ronald D. Moore...but it almost didn't happen. In an interview this week with The Hollywood Reporter, Moore discusses building the character of Worf over time with episodes like “The Bonding” and “Sins of the Father”, as well as slowly building up the Klingon culture. So much so, that Moore became known as “the Klingon guy.” But there was a lot of pushback from Gene Roddenberry, who didn't see Worf as a main character. To Gene, “[TNG] was about Picard. He was the Captain. This was the first time that Next Gen---that Star Trek, really---had ever done a big war story like this. And this was going to be the series' 100th episode on top of it. So, we had to fight somewhat to get the episode going.” Some fought harder than others. Image: ViacomCBS, via DenOfGeek. Executive Producer Rick Berman and the late TNG showrunner Michael Piller helped run interference with Roddenberry, and thankfully “Redemption” made it to air.  If it hadn't, there would have been no Klingon Civil War, or characters like the Duras sisters and the half-Romulan, half-human Sela---who continues to vex us in Star Trek Online to this day.   Quick News Roundup Here are a few headlines that we didn't discuss but might interest you. Wilson Cruz chatted with Yahoo about the importance of representation–not just in Star Trek, but in television and film in general. He shared his own story about breaking down barriers and forging his own path in the industry throughout the 90's and early 00's. The article isn't all about Trek, but it's an important conversation. See and be seen. Image: Michael Gibson/ViacomCBS, via Yahoo! ASTROMETRICS REPORT By Dr. Robert Hurt For this week's Astrometrics Report, we examine a solution to a dark mystery of astrophysics. Here I'm talking literally about the darkening of one of the brightest stars in the night sky. Even the most casual backyard astronomer can point out the constellation Orion in the fall and winter skies. The bright red star forming Orion's upper left shoulder is known as Betelgeuse (“BEE-tel juice” or “BEH-tel juice”, if you want an alternate but equally valid pronunciation). Astronomy on the Easy difficulty setting. Image: N. Risinger/ESO. Whatever your phonetic preference, it is the 10th brightest star in the entire sky---so imagine everyone's excitement back in late 2019, when this stellar beacon began to get unexpectedly darker. This was not subtle: by early 2020, it had dipped to about a third of its usual brightness, almost fading into the background of the Orion constellation. This was a big deal for a red giant star, which is about 18 times more massive than our Sun and 760 times larger in physical size. That makes it 3.5 times larger than the Earth's orbit---which is big enough to gobble up Mars and the entire asteroid belt, falling just short of Jupiter's orbit. So what could make such a huge, massive star go dark? That question prompted a lot of speculation because of another aspect of red giant stars. They are the last evolutionary stop for huge stars, before they explode as supernovae. Stars a bit more massive than our Sun will reach a point where nuclear fusion has produced a much wider variety of elements than our Sun ever will. This ultimately leaves a growing iron core that becomes so dense that gravity will overwhelm it, causing it to collapse to form a vastly-denser neutron star or black hole. In that instant the outer layers of the star will cascade into this sudden void, heat up, and rebound with an incredible release of energy that---for a brief period---match or exceed the energy output of all the other stars in the galaxy combined. Betelgeuse is on the short list of candidate stars that could make this next big boom in this galaxy. And that would certainly be exciting! At a distance of about 600 ly, such an event would be so bright as to be visible in the daytime sky for weeks. But relax: it is more than distant enough to keep us safe from getting cooked in the process. So, was this rapid dimming the precursor to the astronomical show of a lifetime? As you might guess from the lack of sensational headlines, the star returned to its regular brightness. No boom. But the question remained: what had happened to our favorite red giant star? In a recent paper, astronomers have announced a resolution to this mystery...and the culprit is dust that came from Betelgeuse itself. The evidence was presented in a series of high-resolution images of the star, showing what seemed to be a smoky veil passing in front of its disc before moving on. Image: ESO. That evidence alone is an incredible telescopic achievement. Because even though Betelgeuse is over a hundred times farther away than our near neighbor Alpha Centauri, its incredible size makes it only one of only a handful of stars of which we've been able to resolve surface features. Those images, along with infrared light measurements that did not show any decrease in brightness, helped seal the deal for dust being the dimming agent. Fundamental changes to the structure of the star (or even Michael Bay-style alien megastructures swarming around it) would affect all wavelengths of light, while dust blocks mainly visible light but becomes largely transparent in the infrared. In the recent study, astronomers have proposed that the turbulent star had ejected a bubble of gas, cooling slightly in the process. That allowed the gas to condense into particles of dust that, while orbiting around the star, passed in front of it for a few months---causing all of the fuss. While that may not be as dramatic as an explosion to put Hollywood blockbusters to shame, it's still a pretty amazing result. This illuminates one of the many ways stars are responsible for forging so many of the elements of the universe that make up planets and people. This dust ejection is one way these elemental building blocks are blown out into the galaxy, to become the source material for new stars, planets, and maybe even lifeforms in the distant future. STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds Gamma Recruits, Prepare for Battle...Again! By Rosco McQueen As of this moment, we are all dead.  We go into battle to reclaim our lives. This we do gladly, for we are Jem'Hadar. Remember, Victory is life! Seriously guys, have you considered unionizing? Image: Cryptic Studios. For the glory of the Founders, Star Trek Online's recruitment revamp continues with the Gamma Recruit event, active until July 22.  If you create a new Jem'Hadar character you'll gain access to special bonuses awarded through gameplay, which also unlock rewards across your whole account. This is the third time players have been able to create a Gamma Recruit since the unveiling of the Victory is Life expansion in 2018, with Cryptic adding some new goals and altering a few to include all reputation marks. Summertime and the Livin's Easy… By Cat Hough The one time my Gorn can wear his Speedo and not get arrested. Image: Cryptic Studios. Cryptic announced more details today about the upcoming Lohlunat Festival, running concurrently on all platforms from July 1st to July 31st. The blog post announced that the event ship will be an all new Risian Luxury Cruiser Vessel [T6] with details and ship stats to be released in a separate post. All of the old favorites from previous years will be returning, including powerboard races, the biathlon, horga'hn hunting, scavenging with Sovak and, of course, the galaxy-famous dance party. Participating in any of the events will grant progress towards the Risian Luxury Cruiser Vessel! ...spoiler? Image: Cryptic Studios. There's a new baseball uniform for the Jupiter Station Stem Bolts in the Event Store and two new T-shirts to collect. You can get a DISCO shirt, or the famous Chu Chu dance shirt (woo!). There's also a new impulsive floater, powerboard and vanity shield in the Stem Bolts colors. But what about the third chu? Image: Cryptic Studios. Also making waves [ugh---Ed.] is the Tsunami Generator. This Universal Kit Module replicates a wave that rolls out from the player, smashing into everything in front of it before crashing apart. The force of the wave knocks down creatures and injures them, and has a chance to temporarily disable electronic devices, such as turrets and drones. And the new kit frame, Risian Vulcanology, provides rebreather functionality to protect you from toxic gas, and its heat sink controls grant complete immunity to fire! Don't forget this year's new pets: The pastel-colored Transcendent Caracal (Vanity Pet) and Transcendent Tribble. Petting the tribble will “grant a constant, passive small chance to resist and throw off any effect that would control you, as you refuse to be limited or constrained. If you're on a team with multiple people petting this tribble, the chances stack based on the number of people involved. This tribble is unafraid of Klingons or other species that have treated Tribbles negatively in the past.” Because again, it's important to be highly visible. Image: Cryptic Studios. Something in the Air Tonight… By Cat Hough Hey, surprise! There's a new bundle. The New Genesis Bundle will be available on PC for 7500 Zen starting on June 24th, and is on sale for the first week. This bundle features two new T6 ships: the Malachowski-class, an updated Clarke Multi-Mission Command Cruiser, and the long awaited Oberth-class, otherwise known as the Grissom Light Science Vessel. (Please note: these two ships will also be available as separate purchases outside the New Genesis Bundle.) Image: a most beautiful dream, via Cryptic Studios. The bundle will also include a number of additional account-wide items, such as the Genesis Ground Vanity Device*, Wrath of Khan outfits and a Type II Phaser Compression Pistol (C. 2285). Finally, two Experimental Starship Upgrade Tokens and two Fleet Ship Modules boost your purchasing value further. This ship bundle will also be available to players on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 at a later date. Oh and this too. Image: Cryptic Studios. *This is a different device than the one given to Foundry authors. It has similar animation and FX, but does not include the Spock-In-The-Box that appears when the Foundry thank you gift is activated. To GOOOOOOAAAALLLL Where No One Has Gone Before By Rosco McQueen Image: Scopely. In celebration of the European Football Championship, the folks at Scopely shared a guide on how to play soccer/football/whatever in Star Trek Fleet Command. It's not a minigame as such, more a suggestion from the developers on how it could be done. Put together teams of ships with your friends and alliances to get an Envoy “ball” across your imaginary goal lines in space. It's Priority One Armada's 8th Anniversary! All during the month of June, we are giving away various prizes and will have events for Armada members every Saturday with even more prizes! This Saturday, June 26th, is our final event: the Risian Triathlon. Plus, you should definitely trek out the Livestream with yours truly this week as we feature our new intro video produced by Anthony! This is a great time to join Priority One Armada with more than 5 billion in EC in prizes being given away this month.

The Lysian Alliance is a top-of-the-line military force... if it were the 22nd century. Unfortunately they're neighbors with the Federation and the USS Enterprise is suffering from amnesia and here to wreck their day. How bad is it when the Pakled have more firepower than you do? But, hey, Data's a bartender now and the brothers have a really good feeling about this new Kieran guy. Is he going to be a regular? Tune in and find out!

The SS Vico does what all Oberth-class starships does, it inexplicably is destroyed doing basic space science. NEVER server on an Oberth, y'all. It doesn't help that it's also got Timothy on it, who's the kind of kid who assumes he'll doom a whole ship with the press of a button. Which he didn't do but still we had to hear him freak on it. A lot. Also, the brothers continue to fine-tune their experience recording the podcast live on Twitch! And try to ignore the fact that Kyle labelled the Vico as the Nico on the show. >_>;

Look there's no sugar-coating this. This is an Alexander episode. And part of an ongoing look at how bad of a dad Worf is. No really, he's just awful. But on the plus side we've got a Soliton Wave Rider, which is a cool test ship that can go to warp without a warp core thanks to a wildly dangerous beam of energy casually shot at another planet... which it'll destroy if it's not somehow stopped first. No big deal. Also, the brothers recorded this episode live?! That's right, the first of our "previously recorded live" podcast episodes! Tune in to get it all!

What the heck is Max Headroom doing in the 24th century with a time pod? And a clock that's also a ring? The brothers try to sort out how 90s an episode of Star Trek can get while also realizing how easy it is for any spacefaring race to destroy a planet's atmosphere at the drop of a hat. All this on our newest pod!

Discovery Season 4 Is Scripted, Picard Season 2 Is Shooting By Roscoe McQueen It’s official. The I’s have been dotted, the T’s have been crossed, and the nacelles have been detached.  The script for season four of Star Trek: Discovery is complete. The sign-off was confirmed this week by showrunner Michelle Paradise on social media, posting “A long journey to type these words. But here they are..." Paradise attached a picture of the final words of the season four finale script "End of season four." https://twitter.com/michelleparadis/status/1393359495212847104 It’s not as catchy as “Let’s fly” but I’m willing to see how it plays. In other production news, Star Trek: Picard is filming in the Santa Clarita area this week.  SCVNews.com reported that the city’s film office has 9 productions filming in the Santa Clarita Valley beginning the week of Monday, May 17, 2021, including Star Trek: Picard. Star Trek: Lower Decks Blu-Ray and DVD By Shane Hoover What hits shelves on May 18th and packs more Star Trek Easter eggs than Beckett Mariner's crate of contraband? The answer, of course, is the Star Trek: Lower Decks Season One DVD and Blu-Ray set. Bonus features include a trailer for Mariner's Crisis Point: The Rise of Vindicta movie, U.S.S. Cerritos crew profiles, and a catalogue of the show's many many Easter eggs. The show's creator and executive producer Mike McMahan sat down for some promotion interviews, and he had some very interesting thoughts to share. Speaking to Screenrant.Com about his goals for Season 2, McMahan said “we have a lot of bills to pay. We've got Rutherford's memory issues, we've got Mariner and her mom working together, we've got the Pakleds being a real threat out in the world, we've got Tendi worried about her friends not remembering her from the first season and what does that mean for their friendship. And we've got Boimler on the Titan!” Tooting his own...well, I guess it's not his own horn, is it. Image: ViacomCBS via CinemaBlend They also asked McMahan about Mariner's backstory, and he answered “I mean, I know everything about Mariner... but there's a backstory to Mariner that we don't want to mine so quickly and just have everybody know.” He also suggested that attentive viewers are probably already piecing together the show's hints about Mariner's past. The website CinemaBlend.com asked about a Lower Decks live-action Boimler crossover to Star Trek: Picard. McMahan offered that he “can't imagine why not. I mean he's a capable Ensign as we've seen. He has that promotion to the Titan. You see Riker and Troi in Picard. You'd have to imagine if he doesn't run into too many Crystalline Entities that Boimler would still be bouncing around the quadrant.” ...does anyone know what that ringing sound is? Image: ViacomCBS via CinemaBlend But he doesn't see much likelihood of Picard crossing over the other way, telling ScreenRant “Look, would I love to work with Sir Patrick? Obviously! But is there any reason he would ever meet our Lower Deckers aboard the Cerritos? Not really.” Mike McMahan shared some great thoughts, and we have links to three of his interview stories in the show notes. Trek them out for all of the details! Peace and quiet was never an option. Image: ViacomCBS via ScreenRant. #thinkTrek - Gene Roddenberry’s Centennial By Elio Lleo Captains, last week we discussed an interview with Rod Roddenberry on “The Credits” where he spoke about the impact his Father had on popular culture and the vision of the future that was shared with us. Now, as the weeks move on, Roddenberry.com has launched a social media campaign celebrating Gene roddenberry’s Centennial. Using #thinkTrek and #talkTREK, Rod Roddenberry hopes to spotlight some of the philosophy that his father tried to share with us, a future that gives us a “chance for us all to be better, to act kinder, to be more inclusive, and to basically Think Trek.” Taking part in the celebration, filmmakers, actors, notable fans and more will be recording readings of some of Gene’s most inspirational quotes. 100 quotes, 100 days, all coming to a close on Gene’s birthday: August, 19, 2021. Already, we’ve seen readings from folks like Bill Nye, Kevin Smith, Scott Bakula and more! So be sure to follow Roddenberry on all their social media channels to get your daily dose of Roddenberry wisdom! But you can also take part in the celebration by sharing images, photos, videos, whatever you might spot in your daily lives that remind you of Star Trek. Just use #thinkTrek and tag @roddenberry when you post! That leads us to our next community question this week:  CQ: As we reflect on Gene Roddenberry’s legacy over the next 100 days, tell us–what does Star Trek mean to you?  STAR TREK GAMING NEWS By Thomas Reynolds To Gain The World And Lose The Soul All good things must come to an end–and if you’re a Klingon, war tops your Good Things list. Unless it’s a civil war between J’Ulla’s and J’mpok’s partisans for the future of the Empire. Maybe it’s less good, then. But it cannot last forever. It never could, when politics and honor demand your enemy’s complete destruction. And as birds of prey come home to raze, as shattered Praxis looks down on a world on fire, this phrase–this edict–will be on every warrior’s breath and heart: remain Klingon. Image: Cryptic Studios. On May 14th, Cryptic declared STO’s next TFO, “Remain Klingon,” to be the Klingon Civil War’s final battle. Captains will lead the fight over Qo’noS in this space-based TFO as the First City roils with disruptor fire. Cryptic also notes that captains should play “A Day Long Remembered” before queuing for “Remain Klingon”. But wait, what’s “A Day Long Remembered”? Sure sounds like a mission title, but I guess you’ll just have to wait to find out. Until then, be ready. Be fearless. And as always, remain Klingon. Star Trek Online Forecasts Icing Conditions Image: Cryptic Studios. Announced today and launching Soon™, the Discovery: Far From Home Lock Box hits high notes from Disco’s third season. Headlining the potential prizes is the Crossfield Science Spearhead Refit [T6], better known as the U.S.S. Discovery-A. Players who don’t get one can just chill out with the Parasitic Ice Containment Vessel Universal Console. (Yes, it’s a Vessel but it’s a Console. Just work with us here.) Other drops include the Beast Mast–sorry, Bond With Animals Ground Trait, Personal Transporter kit module, and a randomly transporting Saurian.

The Trial Never Ends, The Lens Flare Never Stops September 1987: the Star Trek multiverse returns to TV anew, when the Enterprise-D has its encounter at Farpoint. May 2021: Fleet Command returns to the Prime Timeline, as the Enterprise-D plows into some random Kelvin Timeline planet’s surface. It’s a rough introduction this time, no better for the lack of crew–only the amnesiac android Data is on board. Why is the Federation flagship of 2364 tilling soil more than a hundred years before it was built? Where did its 1,011 other crewmembers go? And can you put it together–ship, crew, and sinister plot behind it all–before those responsible come to finish the job? Welcome to Star Trek Fleet Command Patch 30. Image: Scopely. Scopely resumes its continuing mission bringing Prime Timeline content to its Kelvin-only game with TNG storylines, battle passes, and collectibles. Familiar faces from the series are now potential crew picks, particularly a Rare-tier Beverly Crusher and Epic-tier Data and Geordi. But the most significant addition is the new Away Teams game mode. Unlocking your station’s Shuttle Bay building opens up lists of short-term assignments to complete for resource rewards. Players with STO or Timelines experience will recognize a way to put idle crewmembers to work based on relative strengths. Of course, if you get Q as a crewmember you can just clear all the tasks off at once. Or your entire roster will turn to salamanders. Who knows? Really hoping that's not Mirror Georgiou you're about to send. Image: Scopely.

BLACK LIVES MATTER   Federation Council Members include: Karissa, Nicole, Becky, Mark, Nyssa, Cristina, and Kent SYNOPSIS:  The Enterprise takes a moment aside on the way to their next mission in order to visit the planet where Data was discovered.  A good look around provides Mr. Data with flashes of memory he did not know he possessed; but more pivotally, it also provides a "brother."  The discovery of the disassembled android prompts Commander Riker and the crew to bring it aboard the Enterprise, where engineers, scientists, and Doctor Crusher work to reassemble this second Data.  When they do, he names himself Lore, and becomes eager to learn about his new surroundings.  Data notes it and Lore begins to show his hand: that he believes himself superior to the humans on the ship.  Despite finding a brother, who has many things to teach him about their father and the colonists, Data still pursues his ultimate goal of becoming more human, which Lore does not agree with.  Lore deactivates Data and takes his place, saying (in disguise) that it was Lore who attacked and that he cannot be trusted.  He summons the crystalline entity that destroyed the colony, leaving both Data and Lore stranded there, to the Enterprise, offering the ship's complement as the next meal for it.  But Wesley Crusher sees past the ruse and stands up on the bridge to say so, ultimately getting himself dismissed for speaking out of turn.  He takes his mother to Data's quarters, where they find their unconscious crewmate lying on the ground.  They reactivate him, learn of Lore's complete plan, and then set out to stop him.  Data and Wesley work together to defeat Lore and beam him into space.  Captain Picard admits that he should have listened to Wesley in the first place.  He and Riker affirm that Mr. Data may be the most human of them all.  But will Lore be heard from again? Executive Producers:Cristina HartfieldKent Altman Original Star Trek Theme by Alexander CourageOriginal Sacred Trek Themes by Kent Altman Support us on Patreon!  www.patreon.com/lastmidnightproductionsVisit us on the web at lastmidnightproductions.com/sacredtrek and sign up for our Newsletter! Copyright 2020-2021 Last Midnight Productions

BLACK LIVES MATTER   Federation Council Members include: Mark, Nyssa, Nicole, Becky, Cristina, and Kent SYNOPSIS: Captain Picard must study for a very specific diplomatic engagement with an insectoid species, known as the Jarada.  The last encounter with these particular people ended terribly for the Starfleet captain involved in the exchange, as well as 20 years of no contact between the Jarada and the Federation.  The pressure is high, especially if Picard wants to survive the encounter, but Counselor Troi suggests that there is such a thing as studying too hard for something and that the captain might do himself some good by visiting the newly upgraded Holodeck for some recreation.  He engages in a Private Eye scenario, playing the hero Dixon Hill in the gangster drama, and immediately finds the world the Holodeck creates to be just as vivid and real as the ship and her complement.  So he invites his crew to join him in the fun!  An invitation that Dr. Crusher, Data, and, as requested, the ship's expert on the 20th century, Whalen, are happy to take up.  But the probe the Jarada send out to scan the Enterprise causes a malfunction in the Holodeck's circuitry and the captain and his companions become trapped inside the simulated world, where they find themselves on the wrong side of a mob boss by the name of Redblock.  At first it's all fun and games, and even possibly a romantic interlude for Picard and Dr. Crusher. But after a stint under interrogation by the police, Picard (as Dixon Hill) encounters Redblock and his goons, who come in search of a mysterious item that will provide them with great riches.  The encounter goes south fast, when Whalen is shot and, despite the Holodeck's safety protocols, begins to bleed out on the floor of Dixon Hill's office.  In a race to get his injured crewman out of the Holodeck where he can be saved, Picard decides the only way forward is to tell the holographic character Redblock that he is not, in fact real, and that this is just a simulated world.  Meanwhile, Commander Riker continues to try to stall the Jarada, who will only speak to Captain Picard and grow increasingly put out by the captain's absence.  Wesley Crusher engages in a risky procedure to get the Holodeck doors open and the program to deactivate, and it works; but Redblock takes the opportunity to deny Picard and his team their exit, and instead decides this new world is his to plunder.  After Redblock disappears into thin air outside the Holodeck doors, Data carries Whalen to Sickbay, with Dr. Crusher in tow; leaving Picard to reconcile what just happened for his newfound holographic friend, Detective Dan Bell. Executive Producers:Cristina HartfieldKent Altman Original Star Trek Theme by Alexander CourageOriginal Sacred Trek Themes by Kent Altman Support us on Patreon!  www.patreon.com/lastmidnightproductionsVisit us on the web at lastmidnightproductions.com/sacredtrek and sign up for our Newsletter! Copyright 2020-2021 Last Midnight Productions

BLACK LIVES MATTER   Federation Council Members include: Becky, Mark, Nyssa, Nicole, Cristina, and Kent SYNOPSIS: The Enterprise stops at a planet known as Haven, which is legendary for its beauty and serenity but also for its power to heal.  There, they are surprised to discover that Deanna Troi was promised at a young age to marry her father's best friend's son, Wyatt.  When her mother Lwaxana beams aboard with her intended and his family, the Millers, arguments ensue as to how the marriage or bonding ceremony will be performed.  As the parents continue to insult and fight over it (and without asking whether or not their offspring even want to join), Deanna must reconcile her feelings of being forced into a marriage arranged long ago to a man she has never met with her feelings for Commander Riker, her Imzadi.  She bonds with Wyatt over the experience and decides that she will follow through with the wedding and learn to love and live with Wyatt over time because he's a good man.  But an alien species arrives in orbit of the planet that threatens the safety of everyone on the planet and aboard the Enterprise with an ancient plague that has destroyed their entire species, and many other worlds to which they have fled seeking refuge.  It's discovered that Wyatt has been drawing one of the aliens his entire life, and that she too, has been drawing him her entire life.  He decides that his destiny is aboard the alien vessel and he beams over without authorization to live out the life he feels he was always meant to live, thus breaking the marriage pact and allowing Deanna to move forward with her life as a member of the Enterprise crew. Executive Producers:Cristina HartfieldKent Altman Original Star Trek Theme by Alexander CourageOriginal Sacred Trek Themes by Kent Altman Support us on Patreon!  www.patreon.com/lastmidnightproductionsVisit us on the web at lastmidnightproductions.com/sacredtrek and sign up for our Newsletter! Copyright 2020-2021 Last Midnight Productions
