“Know Thyself…Love Thyself” This week, the SyFy Sistas beam up a true legend of the Star Trek universe: actress and lifelong Trekker Ursaline Bryant, best known to fans as the trailblazing Captain Tryla Scott from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Ms. Bryant doesn't just join the conversation—she commands it. With the poise and power of a true Starfleet captain, she shares her journey through Hollywood, the importance of true representation, and what it meant to portray one of the youngest captains in Starfleet history. The Sistas were all ears and all heart, soaking up wisdom like cadets in their first year at Starfleet Academy. This conversation is about truth-telling, self-reflection, and shining a light on the hidden histories that shaped her journey. This episode is a classroom—and a mirror.

We've reached the end of S.2 of "Discovery" and...it's a LOT, guys. "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part II" is mostly action sequences all just strung together rapid-fire with only a few, regrettably-brief pauses for character work. Also one of the worst lines in the history of "Star Trek" is here. All we need is some Beastie Boys and we're at the crossroads of all off JJ Abrams' worst impulses. Also this week: Bill & Ted, rocky ships, and wrapping season 2! [Sorrow2: 01:13; momentary rankings: 1:02:45] [In summation: https://sshbpodcast.tumblr.com/post/786712440848220160/discovery-season-2-mystery-boxes-all-the-way-down]

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week, we're bending time, smashing starships, and looping through one of the most mind-bending episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 5, Episode 18 – "Cause and Effect". It's a perfect example of how sci-fi can take a deceptively simple concept—what if you're stuck in a time loop?—and turn it into a suspenseful, clever, and surprisingly rewatchable piece of television.

Before The Wrath of Khan became the fan-favorite sequel we know today, Star Trek II went through multiple story pitches, including one from original series contributor Samuel A. Peeples. In the summer of 1981, Peeples outlined a new character: Commander SsAVIK, a half-Vulcan, half-Romulan officer with a sharp intellect and complex heritage. This week on The Trek Files, Ben Robinson joins Larry to discuss Peeples' early concept for SsAVIK, how it evolved into the Saavik we met on screen, and the wider creative tug-of-war between Gene Roddenberry, Harve Bennett, and Nick Meyer as the sequel took shape. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week, featuring two more unused characters from Peeples' draft! Document and additional references: Samuel A. Peeples' Star Trek (The New Movie) – July 30, 1981 (excerpt) ENTER TO WIN - the Borg Queen Skull from Star Trek: First contact, exclusively in partnership with Factory Entertainment The Trek Files Season 13 on Memory Alpha All episodes and documents: The Trek Files on Memory Alpha Visit the Trekland site for behind-the-scenes access and exclusive merchandise.

In the history of Star Trek there have been 185 episodes that begin with the word “The,” and on this week's TrekRanks, for absolutely no reason at all, we are breaking down our “Top 5 Episodes that Begin with The.” Our expert panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Deb Moltisanti, Adam Sanders and Anthony Moltisanti each come up with their own reasons for how they made their picks, but one thing was consistent throughout – there is no doubt that many of the greatest episodes in Star Trek history being with the word “the.” This one is a surprising TrekRanks classic. Episode Rundown: Diagnostic Cycle: We break down some fun and specific “the” facts for each series of Star Trek and how often their titles begin with “the.” Prime Directive: Each guest on this week's panel reveals exactly how they narrowed down their list and made their final choices. Critical this week for such a specific topic. The Order of Things: All the picks are 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 Episodes that Begin with “The.” (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.

Recorded December 1, 2024 This week, Nate talks about a cross country event (surprise, surprise) which he hosted and it may have grown a bit larger than he originally expected. After that, Nate and Ryan talk about things that end well, as all good things must. Then, they have what Ryan only could describe as a Fanta brand Calpis and Baskin Robins Kit Kats. Finally, to wrap everything up, they discuss internal android wars, the strength of nostalgia, and their love for the TNG cast in their discussion of the final season of Picard.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, Unimatrix Zero,Part II, with Janeway and B'Elanna still Borg'd up, and Tuvok having a full identity crisis, the mission to plant a virus hangs by a thread. Meanwhile, a resistance inside Unimatrix Zero finds its voice, but the Borg Queen has an ultimatum that could end it all.

We're coming to the end of Season 2 of Discovery, with the penultimate episode "Such Sweet Sorrow"! With the Sphere Data scuppering the Janeway Maneuver, the crew decides to recycle the time travel plan on a larger scale. But they're going to need some help from the "Enterprise" and a familiar face! Well, familiar if you watched the related "Short Trek", which was not possible in all regions...good job, Paramount. Also this week: small space, tactical joke strike, and "Enterprise" aliens!

We're back with Ronald D. Moore for part two of our dive into the wonderfully strange 1976 spoken-word album Inside Star Trek. This time, things get weird... in the best way. From Sarek (Mark Lenard) debating Vulcan mating rituals with Gene Roddenberry, to William Shatner performing a time-bending double act as both himself and Captain Kirk, the album takes some truly unexpected turns. Ron shares his favorite moments, what they say about Trek's early self-awareness, and how even the quirkiest bits helped shape his own fandom.

Grab your tastiest sandwich and try not to spoil Twin Peaks as we return to Deep Space 9 with an all-DS9 extravaganza. We're talking about the opening three-parter of season two of Deep Space Nine which, unlike the Augment three-parter of Enterprise we covered (Episode Title- We Have Wrath of Khan at Home), we're discussing and placing on the Big List as one single entry and not three seperate ones. Watch as in ‘The Homecoming,' Kira goes off to rescue Bajor's greatest resistance fighter and gets no end of grief for it, then we see that Odo has an actual friend while Kira has one of those awkward naked dreams while uncovering Bajoran nationalists in ‘The Circle' and then the simmering Bajoran nonsence ends up in some Die Hard antics on the Station as our heroes must endure ‘The Siege' where this should hopefully wrap up. No Vedek Winn's were harmed during the making of these episodes for which we are deeply sorry.EPISODES DISCUSSED: ‘The Homecoming' (11:25), ‘The Circle' (35:11) and ‘The Siege' (56:11)This used to be a TNG episode, Bajoran nonsense, Twin Peaks references (some spoilers removed) the DS9 novel mentioned last episode, Odo pranking Quark, Miles prefers Sisko with no beard, the Return of Grappler Zorn and a digression into G.I.Joe, Frank Langella aka Skeletor, Sisko's better at the ‘We're with Starfleet, we don't lie' than Wesley, Odo has a friend-an actual friend (cue references to ‘The Inbetweeners', Vedek Winn would unapologetically tweet ‘Thoughts and Prayers', The Prime Directive is poorly written legislation, we do a Die-Hard, Bashir would have a pith helmet, Deep Space Nine still working out what it can do and it feels that the Bajor stuff falls by the wayside with much larger threats, Krim wants to be Sisko's big rival, this is all too neat in resolution.

Sigue la saga klingon en este ‘Brithright' con la vuelta de Kahless desde Stovokor que, aunque al final resulta ser un truco de los monjes que simplemente le han clonado, nos trae una interesante reflexión sobre fe y religión. Nuevamente, Star Trek puro a las puertas del final de la sexta temporada de TNG. Nosotros ya desfallecemos también en nuestro final de temporada y hacemos una entrada de ‘tan solo' 36 minutos. Atención a la primera llamada para la quedada anual de Star Trek Replay el sábado 28 de junio de 2025 a las 18h en L'Ovella Negra de Marina.

From Star Trek to Shakespeare and Afrofuturism This week, the SyFy Sistas sit down with the incomparable Conrad Coates—the actor behind Admiral Terral on Star Trek: Discovery, and a true force in the worlds of theatre, teaching, and Afrofuturistic storytelling.

This one's for the thinkers, the dreamers, and the future-builders.

TNG 6-1-2025 Discipleship - Part 6 by The Naples Gathering

When the Borg assimilated El-Auria, Dr. Tolian Soran lost everything—his wife Leandra, their children, and his entire civilization. The once-gentle man who "wouldn't hurt a fly" became a hollow shell, adrift among the few survivors of his species. His life changed forever during a rescue mission in 2293 when the Enterprise-B, assisted by the legendary James T. Kirk, saved him from a mysterious spatial phenomenon called the Nexus. For a fleeting moment within this energy ribbon, Sorin experienced pure joy as he reunited with his loved ones in a realm where desires shaped reality.

The Klingon Soap Opera returns and Michael takes a merry jaunt across space in "Through the Valley of Shadows". Pike is seeking the rather mystical-sounding Time Crystal from a Klingon monastery that looks like it was plucked straight from Earth, while Burnham has gone rogue yet again in search of information on Control. And along the way they both encounter familiar faces that aren't at all familiar and could literally have been ANYONE else. Also this week: Arthur Denting Pike, the nature of Leland, and "Enterprise" villains! [Timestamps: "Shadows": 01:37; ENT Heavies: 50:03] [We promise it's not just John 12 times: https://sshbpodcast.tumblr.com/post/785444497963220992/top-3-star-trek-enterprise-villains]

DOUBTING THOMAS RIKER. Kira and the crew of DS9 fall under the charms of a Riker, just not the one they think! Transporter Twin Thomas Riker has his eyes set on the USS Defiant and uses sexcraft to get what he wants. In order to stop him, Sisko must reenact Fail Safe -- or is it the TNG episode "The Wounded"? -- with Gul Dukat on Cardassia. Our theme this month is DS9's Season Three Leap Forward, looking at key episodes that showed Star Trek's middle child taking off and finding its own voice. Joining Bryan to kick things off is actor-producer-comedian Curtis Fortier, star and producer of web series 12 Sided Die, featuring Trek alumni such as Tim Russ and Andrew Robinson.The grades begin at (21:30).

Anika and Liz put on their least comfortable lounging clothes and settle in to discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 6, episode 22, "Suspicions". Why is Beverly Crusher hosting an astrophysics conference? And other questions that will forever go unanswered However, this episode, which makes no sense in the context of TNG, makes a LOT of sense in the context of Star Trek: Picard, and its theme of marginalised people doing SCIENCE is resonant in 2025 You're not gonna believe this, but you can't actually just substitute Beverly for Geordi and Worf and not make any other changes to a story Breaking down the Star Trek monocultures This unremarkable episode has one of Picard's best speeches in the entire franchise Beverly Crusher puts on heels and pantyhose to lounge around at home, because athleisurewear had not yet been invited in 1993 PITCH: the next streaming movie should be about Philippa Georgiou and Guinan DOING A HEIST

Before he was a celebrated Star Trek writer and producer, Ronald D. Moore was a fan, just like so many of us, watching reruns, devouring The Making of Star Trek, and listening to Gene Roddenberry's 1976 spoken-word album Inside Star Trek. In part one of our two-part conversation, Ron reflects on how that Columbia Records release shaped his early views of the franchise. We explore the stories that resonated with him most, including Gene's candid recollections of his own childhood challenges, and how those moments helped inspire Ron's own journey into the Star Trek universe.

We get deep into the lore of Deep Space Nine by talking about a variety of episodes that are not DS9, but feel like it! It's the “Top 5 Episodes that Feel Like DS9” on this week's TrekRanks, continuing our ongoing series of popular “Feels Like” topics. There are probably more shades to DS9 than any other series of Star Trek, and our expert panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Carl Wonders, Peter Hong and Nate Perkins cover them all by picking episodes from across the Trek lexicon – everything from TNG to Strange New Worlds. Join us in the Gamma Quadrant for this fun episode of TrekRanks.   Episode Rundown: Prime Directive: We skip our Diagnostic Cycle this week and jump straight into figuring out how our four-person panel narrowed down their lists and made their final choices. The Order of Things: All the picks are 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 Episodes that Feel Like DS9. (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).

What's it like to direct more hours of Star Trek than anyone else? From Next Gen to Enterprise, David Livingston helped define the look and feel of Star Trek for a generation. In this Mission LogSupplemental, Norman and John sit down with the longtime Trek veteran to talk production pressures, on-set memories, and what kept him coming back across four different series.

It's all happening now, finally getting into gear...kinda near the end of things. Oops. In "Perpetual Infinity", Control makes its big play as we find out what Ma Burnham has been up to since her apparent death!

The blues B-4 and after. Jay and Nate wrap up the TNG movies with Star Trek Nemesis (2002).

PICARD'S BASIC INSTINCT. We conclude Spring Flings Month with a look at the time Jean-Luc Picard bonded with one of the most beautiful women to ever appear on Star Trek: Kamala, as played by Famke Janssen. But is her performance as skin deep as the script? Bryan is joined by an old friend of his, Cory Marciel, a writer and editor in Hollywood. It's two dudes bro'ing out over Star Trek. Will they find this one a TREK, MARRY, or KILL?The grades begin at (42:00).

From its earliest concept stages, Star Trek: The Next Generation set out to break new ground, including the intentional addition of a disabled crewmember to the Enterprise-D. Inspired by and named for a real fan, George LaForge, this character was part of a push for greater representation and inclusivity on screen. This week, The Trek Files welcomes actor and artist Bruce Horak, known to fans as Hemmer from Strange New Worlds. Bruce shares his personal journey as a blind actor stepping into Star Trek's universe, the impact of authentic representation, and his new documentary Boldly Going, where he paints portraits of people who have overcome significant challenges in their own lives. Content note:  The historical document featured in this episode contains outdated language and descriptions of disabled individuals. While we do not endorse these terms, we present the full text in the interest of transparency and historical context.
