Remember when the transporter, Holodeck, warp core, etcetera malfunctioned and then,  fill in the blank disaster happens? Yeah, this episode THAT happens! It's episode 6, Season 6, “RASCALS” and it's kids, kids, kids! Up the space butt with the kids! And the show had just promised us it would tone down on the kids, didn't it? Did it, or was that just Ambassador Andrew's wishful thinking? Seems the Enterprise transporter has gone all wicky-wack, but in the tykiest of ways! Picard, Guinan, Ro, and Keiko are beaming back from a… wait, those four together on an away mission?… okay…. They're beaming back to the Enterprise when O'Brien screws the pooch on the materializing and these fools come in… young! That's right, the away team returns as younger versions of themselves! Some of them are cool about it-- Basically Guinan! And some are conflicted, for sure. Picard has to struggle with commanding a galaxy-class vessel, now with a full head of hair, and a full head lower than Number One! Ro has to struggle with returning to her childhood which was pretty fucked up! Keiko has to try to be a kid-mom and a weirdly awkward kid-wife to the douche that made this nonsense happen, her husband O'Brien! Then there's Whoopie, kid Whoopie, and she's chill with the whole being a kid thing again, like n`` n this second time around? Will Riker be able to take orders from his Middle School Captain? Will O'Brien be made the most uncomfortable member of the Next Gen cast in the creepiest of TNG scenes ever… EVER! Find out on this all new episode of ST:TNGeez!

TrekCore is excited to announce the launch of a second podcast to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Star Trek – Warp Factor 5: A Star Trek Rewatch Podcast. Launching alongside our longrunning WeeklyTrek news podcast, every two weeks on Thursdays host Alex Perry will be joined by a guest to discuss and rate the next five episodes of Star Trek in in-universe chronological order beginning with Star Trek: Enterprise and traveling forward from there. In each episode, Alex and his guest will discuss and rate five episodes of Star Trek, and then pick from across those five episodes the Best Series Regular Performance, Best Guest Performance, Best Production Design Element, Best Quiet Moment, and Best Loud Moment. They'll also discuss how these five episodes contribute to the larger Star Trek narrative across more than 900 episodes, and share memories of the first time they watched the episodes – was it live on UPN? BBC 2? WPIX Channel 11? Sky One? CIC VHS tapes? DVD? Netflix? Paramount+? There are two things that make Warp Factor 5 distinct from most Star Trek rewatch podcasts: discussing five episodes at a time, and moving through the franchise in in-universe chronological order. Examining five episodes at a time gives space to compare episodes in blocks, examining in greater detail differences in character and themes. And beginning with Enterprise and moving in in-universe chronological order gives a new way to enjoy the Star Trek story, as an inter-connected narrative spanning 60 years of real history and over one thousand years of narrative history.  The show will begin with Enterprise, followed by Discovery's first two seasons, Strange New Worlds, Star Trek, The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Lower Decks, Prodigy, Picard, Discovery's last three seasons, and Starfleet Academy. Where will the Kelvin Timeline movies fall? What about the Short Treks? The TNG movies? How will you handle the period during the 1990s when two Star Trek shows were on at once? You'll just have to listen to find out! This is a rewatch podcast, and we'll be discussing full spoilers for past and future Star Trek as we make our way through the shows. But you don't have to be a Star Trek expert to enjoy Warp Factor 5. Each episode discussion will include a synopsis of the episode we're talking about to jog your memory, with plenty of audio clips from the episodes so you can hear for yourself the moments that are being discussed. If you've always had the desire (like Alex has!) to rate every episode of Star Trek and figure out which episodes are your favorites (or least favorite!), we hope you'll join us at home, watch the episodes with us, and submit your ratings. Also make sure to let us know your picks for Best Series Regular, Best Guest Performance, Best Production Design Element, Best Quiet Moment, and Best Loud Moment! Alex will be gathering all the ratings and feedback received and at the end of each season will have a special episode discussing feedback and the final definitive ranking of that season's episodes.  Warp Factor Five is available now on all your podcast platforms so make sure to subscribe to ensure that you don't miss an episode. The first episode of the show, covering the Star Trek: Enterprise season one episodes "Broken Bow," "Fight or Flight," "Strange New World," "Unexpected," and "Terra Nova," will debut on Thursday, June 18. Join us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and more!

TNG 5-24-2026 Understanding the Message of Jesus - Part 7 by The Naples Gathering

Well, it took a lot longer than the writers hoped, but a third "Bill & Ted" finally graced our screens in 2020! With most of the world locked indoors, maybe all we really needed was a film with a simple message lacking in any cynicism. After your hosts' cool reception to "Bogus Journey" last week, did the more straightforward "Bill & Ted Face the Music" resonate with us? Listen and find out! Also this week: many side plots, the mystery of Cudi, and oddly touching moments! [B&TFTM: 01:35]

Welcome to a classic episode of Casual Trek, featuring Matt Hardy!Matt's upcoming project can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kryptothera-a-hunter/kryptothera-a-hunters-taleWe've got our first guest star in today's episode as we get the nonstop machine of comics crowdfunding Matthew Hardy to join us in talking about the First Lady of Star Trek: Majel Barrett!Majel's been in so many episodes, hell, so many SERIES of Star Trek over the years, so there's a lot to work with here. We've got shockingly little Majel in the TOS episode that ostensibly is a spotlight focus on her. Then we're in to the wild world of Lwaxana Troi as she gets kidnapped by Ferengi in TNG and that version of the Ferengi are the absolute worst. Like Internet Guy worst. Finally we get a surprisingly nice pairing of Lwaxana and Odo stuck in a lift together as a weird life form from the Gamma Quadrant has got into the computers.TOS: What Are Little Girls Made of?TNG: Ménage a TroiDS9: The ForsakenTalking points include: Westworld (both flavours), Babylon 5, Only Murders in the Building, Righteous Gemstones, Adam X the X-Treme, Ahsoka, Classic Dr Who, FMV PC games, Charlie's back on his Lost bullshit, From, Amnesiac City, Two time GLAAD award winner Peter Allan David, The Matrix, Terminator, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, The UK Office amount of awkwardness, Shoggoths, Tiny Clangers, The Prisoner, Legion of Super-Heroes fashion, Mario Kart-based declarations of love, Vampire: The Masquerade, The Mos Eisley Cantina Band, Lucille Bluth, Lwaxana Troi going full Mrs Bennet, Picard giving it all Shakespeare, More Classic Dr Who, Lord of the Rings for the SNES, Gilmore Girls, Tamagochi, War of the Worlds. Oh, and occasionally Star Trek. A surprising amount of Star Trek this time…Casual Trek is by Charlie Etheridge-Nunn and Miles Reid-Lobatto, our guest star was Matt Hardy.Music by Alfred Etheridge-NunnCasual Trek is a part of the Nerd & Tie Networkhttps://ko-fi.com/casualtrek Miles' blog: http://www.mareidlobatto.wordpress.com Charlie's blog: http://www.fakedtales.com Pedant's Corner:Gap-wise, the gap between TOS finishing & TNG airing was 18 years, the gap between Enterprise finishing and Discovery airing was 13 years“Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so” is the actual quoteCharlie couldn't think of the word “camper van” when describing FromMemory Alpha's reference to Lwaxana Troi saying she ‘made love' to DaiMon Tog, has a link to an article on Oo-mox

Next stop on our Shore Leave jaunt is "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" and what can we say but: at least William Sadler is a delight. Your stalwarts find themselves a bit underwhelmed by this odd sequel, which maybe was a little TOO different from its predecessor. Something is just missing this time around, and no amount of weird robots or caked-up Martians can fix it. Also this week: sequel issues, more film trauma for little Chris, and forgetting their own rules.

TNG 5-17-2026 Understanding the Message of Jesus - Part 6 by The Naples Gathering

What if Star Trek had spun off into a full-blown sitcom starring Lwaxana Troi? To kick off Season 15 of The Trek Files, Larry Nemecek welcomes actor, writer, comedian, and Star Trek: Lower Decks star Tawny Newsome for a deep dive into an early-1990s pitch centered on Majel Barrett Roddenberry's Betazoid ambassador. The document up for discussion is a never-produced sitcom concept built around Lwaxana Troi; equal parts fish-out-of-water comedy, family chaos, and larger-than-life Trek energy. Together, Larry and Tawny unpack why the pitch feels both very of-its-time and strangely ahead of its time, especially now that Star Trek comedy has found new life through projects like Lower Decks. As someone who has not only starred in Trek comedy but also developed her own comedic Trek ideas, Tawny brings a unique perspective to the conversation: what makes sci-fi comedy work and how Gene Roddenberry's world always had room for humor alongside the philosophy and adventure. It's a fascinating look at a road not taken in Star Trek history and a reminder that sometimes the weirdest ideas in the archive are the most revealing. Documents and additional references ca. 1992 sitcom pitch centered on Lwaxana Troi and a proposed Star Trek comedy spinoff Guest: Tawny Newsome Reference: Lwaxana Troi Additional reference: Star Trek: Lower Decks The Trek Files Season 15 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.

And so the Star Trekkification of the 'Alien' franchise is complete, with a movie that's named after the ship it's set on and a plot that's straight out of the first season TNG episode "Datalore". But does that make it bad? Can those two tones be merged successfully? Is there a reason why they cast James Franco in this movie? Listen to this episode and find out!

TNG 5-10-2026 Understanding the Message of Jesus - Part 5 by The Naples Gathering

We're taking one of our patented Shore Leave breaks before the next leg of "Trek", and this time we're going over some choice cuts of the career of Keanu Reeves! So we're starting where you know we have to: "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"! It's a classic tale of two well-meaning dopes trying to pass history with the help of time travel so that they can be the foundation of a utopian future! Also this week: a very smart dumb movie, some poorly-aged things, and alternate Rufuses (Rufae?) [B&TEA: 02:58]

Miles and Charlie have come down with a case of the ‘too British for Star Trek' and are coping with it the only way they know how, by once more becoming Space Scamps and hopping over to Moonbase Alpha for three more episodes of Space 1999! We've an unintentional theme of guest stars here as ‘Force of Life' gives us a young Ian McShane coming down with a bad case of heat vamperism while ‘Alpha Child' gives us evil children, weird cosmic space incest with Julian Glover (he's been in a lot of stuff) and then finally, ‘Missing Link‘ gives us a guest turn by Peter Cushing in a costume choice slightly more dignified than Christopher Lee back in Space Scamps II and Charlie asks us a terrifying question… why have we not watched any season 2 yet…

EPISODES MENTIONED: Force of Life (09:14) Alpha Child (28:58) Missing Link (50:53)


TALKING POINTS: The Abominable Dr. Phibes, New Classic Doctor Who, The Employees, The House on the Borderland, Sailing, Rhinestone Cowboy, a very young Ian McShane who to Miles' surprise is NOT playing a scumbag, coworkers coming into work while sick, Space 1999's production values ALWAYS impress, Sunshine is a great movie, is this incest? Maybe. Avengers Issue 200 style shennanigans, Julian Glover, the Man the Myth the Legend, Alpha Child does TNG's The Child CORRECTLY, what the hell was TV Show ‘Swat?' also… who is second in command on Moonbase Alpha? Space-Rationalists are the worst. Space 1999 is the wrong show to be doing Logic vs. Emotion, this is why we have a stunt crew, Space 1999 would have made a great season of The Terror, we feel sorry for Moonbase Alpha's catering department

El repaso al episodio ‘Thine Own Self' comienza a los 55m, si no quieres escuchar todo lo anterior, tú mismo ;), hay detalles de la próxima quedada Replayer. En cuanto ‘Thine Own Self', tenemos la trama principal, protagonizada por Data, que llega a un pueblo de un planeta pre-warp habiendo perdido la memoria y con un maletín lleno de material radioactivo, y la trama secundaria, donde Deanna Troi pasa el examen para ascender a Comandante. Un episodio en la media de esta irregular temporada 7 de TNG.

TNG 5-3-2026 Understanding the Message of Jesus - Part 4 by The Naples Gathering

This week we're looking at arguably the reason the reprehensible "Section 31" exists: the excellent "Everything Everywhere All At Once"! In a movie that turns the Chosen One narrative on its head, Michelle Yeoh plays Evelyn, who is the best hope for the multiverse because she is the worst version of herself. Come along for a story of generational trauma, nihilism, kindness, and the simplest little things actually being set-ups for something much more vital. Also this week: shockingly low-budget, director jump-scare, and a language tangent!

Brace yourself for "Section 31", the abysmal "Star Trek" movie that's a mashup of all the worst ideas from your favorite franchises and none of the good ones! Despite the universe seeming to not want it to happen, what had once been planned as a Shazad Latif–led spy series instead became a Michelle Yeoh heist vehicle. Brace yourself for samey, quippy dialogue, unlikable characters, and the most obvious "twists" you've ever seen! Also this week: ruining Rachel, nostalgia sickness, and being critical of criticism!

Sub Rosa podría ser, merecidamente, el final del camino para Star Trek Replay. Pero no lo será, tranquilos. Eso sí, llevamos esperándolo desde el primer episodio, y ahora que hemos llegado por fin a él, podemos decir con seguridad que, ni mucho menos, es el peor episodio de TNG. No es ni tan solo el peor episodio de esta séptima temporada. Aunque tampoco lo pondríamos por mitad de la tabla, como Alberto Santos en su libro, y entendemos que tiene algunas escenas potencialmente de vergüenza ajena que, en todo caso, están muy bien resueltas por parte de Gates McFadden. El episodio, Sub Rosa, entra en el minuto 40. Y previamente, confirmamos la convocatoria de la próxima quedada Replayer para el 20 de junio de 2026 a las 18h en Video Instan, en Barcelona, para ver juntos el capítulo final de TNG, ‘All Good Things…'. ¡Os esperamos a todos!

We've come to the end of the beginning of the "Trek" streaming era with "Life, Itself". Unfortunately, it's all a bit underwhelming. We've got a pointless space battle, a mall-looking ancient temple/lab/whatever, and an ultimate puzzle that a five year old could crack. There's also a stupid, stupid, stupid reveal and an idiotic epilogue. Also this week: unexpected "Titanic", poster profundity, and wrapping "Discovery"!

As we continue with our Starfleet's Finest? Spotlight Series, we arrive to TNG's Decent Part I & II. In this episode we highlight Admiral Alynna Nechayev, played by our dear friend Natalija Nogulich. When Data experiences an emotional response killing a Borg drone, something inside him snaps...leading to him involuntarily joining his brother Lore. Admiral Nechayev reminds Picard that if he is given another opportunity, like the one with Hugh, to rid the Federation of a mortal enemy, then he is to take it! The Enterprise follows after him but not at the expense of Troi, La Forge and Captain Picard being held prisoner.

Jonathan Frakes, Kitty Swink, and Armin Shimerman join Anthony and Laurie to talk about PanCAN, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, and the Purple Stride walk to support it on April 25. They talk about the importance of identifying symptoms early and making sure you see a doctor who knows about pancreatic cancer, and the joy of doing the walk with friends and supporters. Everyone also talks some Trek, taking a look at where the franchise is now (in a post-Academy and Strange New Worlds world), the state of the fandom, and a bit of TNG and DS9 history. They also talk about changes in the industry, like mergers and using AI to replace actors. The wrap up with a reminder to walk, donate, or share all the info about PanCAN and Purple Stride.

Whats old can be new again as we review the stikingly familiar "Starship Down"! Listen, sometimes immitation can both be flattery and pretty dang good when we hit the replay button on a TNG favorite, switch up what Worf and O'Brien were doing, add in some James Cromwell getting addicted to gambling by Quark, and sprinkle in some "Das Boot" for good measure.

It's "Lagrange Point", the penultimate episode of the final "Discovery" season! And we're heating things up with a heist! The Breen have gotten their hands on some kind of garbage bin/TARDIS hidden between two black holes, and Burnham and her crack team have to get it back! On the ship, Rayner gets judged for his command style, while back at Fed HQ, Saru decides to volunteer for a dangerous mission.

Cause And Effect (Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), S5 E18) was recommended by he/him, who said: All right, I realize we're supposed to recommend the... less than stellar episodes of Trek, but Cause and Effect is a classic TNG episode for good reason. While time travel episodes have been done to death in the franchise, the Groundhog Day loop in this one presents the crew with a genuine mystery that they have to puzzle out, which comes across with slowly dawning horror as they piece the puzzle together and realize that they may have no way out. Plus, it's got a literal banger of a teaser which has yet to be topped :)Cause And Effect first aired on March 23, 1992, written by Brannon Braga, and directed by Jonathan FrakesThe Enterprise becomes stuck in a time loop but the crew retain some memory of previous instances. Guest star Kelsey Grammer as Morgan Bateson.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

We continue looking at Starfleet's "Finest" as we highlight Admiral Kennelly in TNG's "Ensign Ro".

What Picard doesn't know is that Admiral Kennelly has something else in mind, and Ro is just a pawn.
