It's Bank Holiday Monday, so let's take it easy and talk about some comics. After promising it early in the show's history, Charlie's finally read the first arc of IDW's Star Trek comic by Lanzig & Kelly. Look, we're Casual Trek, this is the level of service you get from us.The first arc, “Godshock” features that classic Star Trek concept: thumbing your teeth at god, only this time it's a bad thing as someone's killing gigantic cosmic entities! Who did this and how can it be stopped? Well, Ben Sisko's back from his time as a cosmic entity to find out, with an almost all-star cast of people from throughout Star Trek History. There's Data and Dr Crusher from TNG, Paris from Voyager, Scotty from TOS and Jake Sisko is also there. Worf guest stars for long enough to be a bad parent and back door pilot for another series, and there are a couple of new characters who are a lot of fun.Join us on the USS Theseus and prepare for a lot of tangents, as we both love talking comics.References: The Super Stalag of Space, Harry 20 on the High Rock, Dan Dare, Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation Squared, Quatermass and the Pit, The Legion of Super-Heroes, The Legion Clubhouse, comic collection sizes, YES Charlie has put rolled-up Walking Dead volumes in his back pocket, the Bendis New Avengers approach to team-building, Billy Pilgrim, The Krakoan Age of X-Men, Marvel Swimsuit Specials (which are coming back), release a Star Trek Swimsuit Special you cowards!, Data pages vs data pages, Gilmore Girls spoiled Anna Karenina for me, Charlie's Super Mario Quest 2025, the Summers family tree, the Dark Horse Buffy Series, Marvel's Star Wars, Dr Who comics, the Energon Universe, the CLZ collector's app, Malibu Comics' Star Trek… Oh, and sometimes IDW's Star Trek.

We're running out of season so it's time to have a bunch of reveals at once! Turns out we know who the Red Angel is, and now we've got to capture them in their titular episode! Also Michael gets an in-person retcon courtesy of Section 31! Also also we moan about "Picard" for a bit and get a little spoilery, so maybe watch out for that (37:28 - 40:00).

It wasn't just the series finale of Star Trek: Enterprise. “These Are the Voyages” marked the end of an 18-year era of continuous Star Trek on television, dating back to The Next Generation in 1987. Emotions ran high on set, and not all of them were celebratory. Returning guest Mike DeMeritt, First Assistant Director on Enterprise, brings us a candid look behind the scenes of Trek's broadcast-era farewell. From dismantled sets to discarded call sheets (but not underwear), we explore the atmosphere and aftermath of one of Trek's most controversial finales.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, “Unimatrix Zero,” Seven discovers a secret within the Borg Collective: a hidden dream state where drones live as individuals. When Voyager learns they're under threat, Janeway sees an opportunity: help the resistance and strike a blow to the Queen. But to do it, she'll have to get assimilated first.

The sum is somehow greater than its parts this week on "Discovery", as an overwrought trope plays a sort-of central role and we get to know someone just in time to never see them again in "Project Daedalus". The plot doesn't so much ramp up as spiral off into a whole new direction as the real villain is finally/suddenly revealed. Meanwhile, Spock is in A MOOD. Also this week: the Oilers, the relentless march of time, and the second part of our Mind Melds talk! [Daedalus: 04:36; more meldin': 49:12] [our blogs are one: https://sshbpodcast.tumblr.com/post/783553413803802624/ill-spock-the-world-and-meld-with-you-pt-2]

It's TNG's first birthday! To celebrate, Alyssa called in the big guns: James Harris, co-host of Throwing Fits, came by for a rare one-on-one interview about his massive success in podcasting and beyond. Tune in for two straight hours of wisdom, as well as to hear how James fell into a fashion industry career by accident; what it was like navigating (and thriving in) the glory days of digital media; getting a web show with his co-host Larry at Complex a decade ago, and why “Fashion Bros” was ahead of its time; insights from his pivots to both tech and music; a fun recounting of the Throwing Fits origin story; figuring out how the hell you can make money in media these days; real talk about how hard and expensive it is to make clothes; how he decides what aspects of his life are fair game for content and what to keep private; a peek inside the TF meme machine; why you can absolutely never burn a bridge in this business; getting taken seriously in a notoriously self-serious industry; building and nurturing a community (shout-out Throw Gang!) both on and offline; an exclusive preview of the intro Pusha T would get if he goes on Throwing Fits, and much more.This episode was recorded in the podcast studio at The SQ @ 205 Hudson.

May 2001 marked a major transition as Star Trek: Voyager had just wrapped, and Enterprise was ramping up production. With little time to exhale, the crew jumped into a new era: new cast, new look, even new tech (farewell, hand-written call sheets!). But as always, the most revealing stories live between the lines. First Assistant Director Mike DeMeritt returns to The Trek Files to help decode a pair of call sheets and share what they say about how Trek kept boldly going behind the scenes.

Ever wanted to time travel right onto the bridge of your favorite Galaxy-Class starship? Hey, us, too, but we'll have to settle for watching Max Headroom do it in “A Matter of Time” on this all-new episode of ST:TNGeez . . . NOW!The Enterprise is on its way to Penthara IV for an emergency rescue mission when Worf notices a temporal anomaly has left something behind. Picard tells Ensign Felton to flip the bitch, and before you know it, he has to take a jump to the left (or is it a step to the right) to allow Berlinghoff Rasmussen to beam aboard. Our new friend claims to be a historian from the 26th century here to hang out and ask some questions and generally be a pain in the ass. Picard seems amused enough at the start, but Rasmussen quickly gets on everyone's nerves. He keeps poking around and dropping cryptic hints while the crew is trying to save a planet from the after effects of an asteroid's impact. Rasmussen claims he's on board to witness history, but he just might have an ulterior motive. Will Geordi and Data be able to cobble together a solution that will save Penthara IV? Will Worf get to backhand Rasmussen? Will our visiting time traveller get to make some time with our beloved Bev?

Bit of a double-filler show this week, as Michael drops in on the folks and Pike decides to chill with Tyler in "Light and Shadows". Just kind of spinning our wheels here until we FINALLY see Spock, tho he's not really in a state to do much more than be there. Back with the ship, we're laying some groundwork for later payoff, maybe? Also we remember Stamets has a weird relationship with time. Also this week: time prefixing, evil tech squids, and familiar faces!

The Trek Files returns to one of the most foundational documents in Star Trek history: the third revision of The Star Trek Guide from 1967. Author and “Trek Whisperer” Glen Henderson joins Larry Nemecek to explore the show's core creative philosophy—especially the idea that believability in characters and behavior matters more than technobabble. Together, they unpack a fascinating “test” Gene Roddenberry included in the guide, challenging writers to spot a major format error in a hypothetical teaser scene. Was it bad science? Clunky terminology? Or something more human at the heart of it? Discover what Gene thought really made Trek work—and what still resonates with fans and creatives today.

The Wire (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9), S2 E22) was recommended by Obiwanjabroni (he/him) pronounced like obi wan kenobi from star wars but the last part is..ja-BRO-nee? I guess lol just listen to the ROCK when he was a wrestler , who said: I know most people would choose this episode as a favorite because it supposedly gives us Garak's "origin story" but to someone who is in recovery and falls off the wagon every other weekend, it's actually kind of a beautiful display of what we go through. The self loathing.. the hatred of those who are trying to help us through it.. the feeling the next morning when they've been so kind to us even though we didn't deserve it.Definitely not something I expected from Star Trek with the whole utopian awesomeness and all. Another reason ds9 was and will always be my favorite of all the series even though I've been watching since TNG with my dad who watched TOS.The Wire first aired on May 8, 1994, written by Robert Hewitt Wolfe, and directed by Kim FriedmanIn order to save Garak's life, Bashir must unravel some of the secrets in the Cardassian's past.The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook

Here we discuss two classic Trek episodes -- TNG's "Future Imperfect" (S4E8) and Voyager's "Living Witness" (S4E23). In the one, Will Riker wakes up in the future...or does he?

Warrning ther is some rough langues in this part as Rob and I vent about how the current us tarriffs are messing with buying acion figures (made in china)we also compare the young current nerd audience to rob and I as middle aged nerds, and how some of today's audience wants to see their identies of gender and sexuality in today's stories.he and i feel that when sci-fi deals with humans intermingling with different aliens and non humanoid lifeforms, will pronouns still be an issue here on earth, hundreds of years from now?we hope not. consider inter species relationships as portrayed in things like start trek, like the trill and spock's parentsBut we're also talking about fun things too like insider Trek and TNG stoires, Rob and Max Collins excellent detective audio drama True Noir starring Michael Rosenbaum 

We can't believe it either. This week, The SyFy Sistas are celebrating their 100th episode — and yes, we're feeling all the feels.

Our amazing Associate Producers — Karyn Dramera, Sailor Marj, and Dr. Stephanie Baker — pull up to the party too, as we turn our usual Tuesday night Live Show into something extra special.

Trek Against Pancreatic Cancer In this very special episode of Trek Geeks, we're proud to present the audio from a powerful livestream event originally aired on Thursday Night Geeks. Featuring an incredible lineup of guests: Jonathan Frakes, John Billingsley, Kitty Swink, Armin Shimerman, and Juan Carlos Coto--this heartfelt conversation centers around their support for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) and the upcoming PurpleStride event on April 26, 2025. You'll hear deeply personal stories from our guests, including Kitty Swink's remarkable journey as a pancreatic cancer survivor and Armin Shimerman's reflections on being by her side through the fight. John Billingsley and Jonathan Frakes speak passionately about their ongoing advocacy and the urgent need to fund research, while Juan Carlos Coto shares a moving tribute to his brother, the late Manny Coto, and his family's connection to this cause. Whether you missed the livestream or want to hear these inspiring voices again, this audio edition brings their messages directly to your ears. It's a powerful blend of Trek family, personal resilience, and a unified call to action. There's still time to make a difference. PurpleStride happens on April 26, and your support can help fund critical research, raise awareness, and offer hope to those impacted by this devastating disease. Visit TrekAgainstPancreaticCancer.com to donate, join a team, or learn more about how you can stride with a purpose.

Our first episode in the TNG era that is focused on Klingons, but does the episode deliver for The Divas? In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss The Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "Heart of Glory" (s1e20). The Enterprise stumbles on a floating ship that appears to be in trouble near the neutral zone. We get some backstory about Worf, and a lot of interesting Klingon moments. Listen to hear how Stef and Chris feel about this episode!

Liz takes a deep dive into Usenet archives and tells Anika about fandom's earliest discussions of Star Trek: Deep Space 9! (Please note, we are still having audio problems -- despite literally nothing changing in our set ups, Liz's feed is echoing on Anika's channel. This means Anika had to be muted for a lot of the time. At this point we may have to get two tin cans and a really big ball of string to record…)  What was Usenet? (Please do not fact check Liz on the technical details.) And who was using it? The initial response to DS9 before "Emissary" aired… …and after. Here's Roger Tang's 5 January 1993 post with his impressions: "EMISSARY betrayed far too many of the storytelling flaws that have plague[d] TNG over the last two-three years." The very gendered language of the era: Picard and Bashir are "weenies", Dax and Kira are "chicks", but Dax is also a "bimbo" or "airhead" and Kira "has balls". And that's before we get to the slurs… Anika defends Terry Farrell from the Trekkies of 32 years ago. We may not be a Pittcast, but we ARE ride or die for Trinity Santos, thank you for asking. Michael Lee Jacobs' commentary on "Emissary": "It was almost painful to watch TNG right after the two wonderful hours of DS9 this evening." How much are these Usenet posters representative of the wider fandom? Where were other conversations taking place?  Babylon 5 was The Orville of the 1990s, in terms of its fans coming into Star Trek spaces to say, "Stop watching that new Trek with the Black lead, this show with the white dude is way better!" A really fascinating (and incomplete) debate about whether the Garak/Bashir interactions in "Past Prologue" were intended as a homophobic depiction of queerness. A bunch of straight men say no!  The one thing from this era (and the years following it) that we would like to bring back is people sharing their long-form thoughts on new episodes of TV. Like this post on "Duet" which Liz didn't get around to talking about! Finally, shout out to this prediction, a week after "Emissary" aired, which was completely wrong but also … kind of right?

Moral boundaries are tested as Voyager's crew is unknowingly experimented on by hidden aliens. Dom Bettinelli, Jimmy Akin, and Fr. Jason Tyler debate the ethics, character arcs, and sci-fi echoes from TNG.

It's a classic TrekRanks deep dive on the “Top 5 World-Building Episodes” in the history of Star Trek, where we breakdown the stories, details and moments that helped establish the expansive universe that we've all known and loved across the past 60 years. Our panel of host Jim Moorhouse and expert guests Alex Perry and Carlos Miranda get into the nooks and crannies of both the big and small world-building moments that have helped establish Star Trek as the modern mythology of our times. Episode Rundown: Diagnostic Cycle: Where we briefly get into the details of defining the show's specific topic. Prime Directive: Each guest on this week's panel reveals exactly how they narrowed down their list and made their final choices. The Order of Things: All the picks are teased and revealed with the TrekRanks' original “Five words and a hashtag” summary. Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list. Regeneration Cycle: The panel recaps their picks and we dissect 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 World-Building Episodes.

The crew of the Enteprise-D were taking shape in the earliest creative days of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Julian Picard, Commander Ryker, and Leslie Crusher all went through revisions to becomes the characters we know today. Deanna Troi evolved from a towering, large-brained, four-breasted telepath into, fortunatley, a character who was far more suitable for TNG's stories. The Trek Files is thrilled to welcome Nana Visitor to discuss the ever-changing roles of women in the Trek universe and the back-and-forth relationship between Gene Roddenberry and Dorothy Fontana in our amusing, revealing documents.
