First of all: there was a recording issue for the first 22 minutes of the show - I have done my best to take care of it, but there will still be moments where you hear my (Kelly's) voice in duplicate. Sorry! I don't think it's unlistenable, so please join us as we discuss TOS's Patterns of Force and *checks notes* the rise of fascism?? And it's still pretty goofy?! Oh boy!!!

The current Trek bosses have said that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ five seasons will take it right up to the launch of The Original Series — and they’ve hinted that they could continue that with a new TOS series. That suggestion raise a LOT of questions, such as — How might TOS be different […] The post Star Trek TOS 2.0?? – Earth Station Trek – Episode 219 appeared first on The ESO Network.

The current Trek bosses have said that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' five seasons will take it right up to the launch of The Original Series -- and they've hinted that they could continue that with a new TOS series. That suggestion raise a LOT of questions, such as -- How might TOS be different given what they have done with the Pike era? What characters would they bring back? What would they reimagine? What updates might they make from a PC standpoint? And more. But the most important question is -- IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?? We'll answer those and many other questions in tonight's show. And hopefully we'll get some questions from YOU, the viewer!

Back when the New Era of "Trek" was...new...they did "Short Treks". We looked at the first batch back between Seasons 1 and 2 of Discovery and have lamented since more than once that it's something they should have done more of. But considering we were largely cooler on the second batch, maybe there was a reason... Also this week: weird messages, back to cartoons, and ranking the lot! [Timestamps: Q&A: 01:21; The Trouble With Edward: 15:28; Ask Not: 27:03; Ephraim and Dot: 35:57; The Girl Who Made the Stars: 43:16; Children of Mars: 49:27; top'n'bottoms: 59:56] [But what did we think?

Whether our callers were from the 23rd or 24th century (or just the 21st), everyone's got opinions on the Strange New Worlds / Lower Decks crossover episode Those Old Scientists.

The journey through Samuel A. Peeples' early story treatment for Star Trek II continues, and this week, we're venturing into some of the most imaginative territory yet. Long before the final script for The Wrath of Khan took shape, Peeples envisioned a film that introduced entirely new characters to the Trek universe. There's a brilliant young doctor with unorthodox methods and a bold romantic interest in Dr. McCoy. Then there's Sub-Commander Thal Arctos: a towering, genetically engineered officer who's all Starfleet and part polar bear. These ideas never made it to screen, but they offer a fascinating look into the creative what-ifs of Star Trek's cinematic future. Returning guest Ben Robinson helps us unpack these bold swings, what they tell us about the era, and why some of Trek's most intriguing concepts are the ones fans have never seen... until now.

Anthony and Laurie start the podcast with a deep dive into the latest goings-on with the Paramount/Skydance merger, unraveling the latest events and discussing what its impact on the Star Trek franchise (including movies as well as TV) could be. They talk about the news that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will end after season and how that will affect the arc of the show, then spend some time digging into the season 3 trailer as well as the panel discussion from the recent screening at the Tribeca Film Festival.

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.

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.

Stāsta koku vilnas meistars Ritvars Točs. Nātru audums ir viens no senākajiem un visvieglāk iegūstamajiem audumiem. Arī dainās pieminēti nātani audumi. Tie bija ļoti izturīgi un mīksti, piedevām, nātru audumi labi krāsojās visdažādākajos toņos. Nātres ievāc arī janvārī, februārī un martā, bet vislabāk to darīt aprīlī un maijā. Tad pērnā nātre ir jau savu mūžu nodzīvojusi un nokaltusi, šķiedra ir nogatavojusies, palikusi sausa un balta. Šādas nātres savāc kūļos, ved mājās, saberž uz raupja dēļa, saspaida, izsukā un tā iegūst gatavu materiālu vērpšanai. Tas viss prasa piecas minūtes. Nātru kūļus, ja tiek savākti sausā laikā, var glabāt kaut simtu gadu, bet pārstrādāt, kad vien ir vēlme. Tad, kad nātri saberž, pāri paliek tādi kā kauli, spaļi. Tos nemet ārā, bet izmanto telpu kvēpināšanai un gaļas žāvēšanai. Nātru spaļi smaržo kā kadiķi un attīra gaisu. Nātru vilnu vērpj tikai ar rokām, uz speciāla dēļa savirpinot pīnīti. Nātre ļoti labi noder veselībai. Piemēram, lai nesāpētu galva, nēsāja uz dēlīša pītu nātru pīnīti. Dainās teikts: „Trim kārtām nātri pinu savam zīļu vainagam.” Nātru vainadziņš regulē spiedienu, galva paliek dzidra un vairs nesāp. Nātre ir vislabākā krāsu uzsūcēja. Ar otiņu iekrāso katru dzīparu, apžāvē, un tikai tad viņš parādās savā tonī. Dzīparu rakstīšana – tā ir krāsošana. Katru dzīparu izrakstot savā krāsā, sanāk ļoti skaistas jostas un pīnes. Mūsu teritorijā vilnu var gatavot no trīsdesmit pieciem augiem un kokiem, bet dainās var atrast ziņas par divdesmit diviem. Dainās parādīta mūsu senču ikdiena – kā dzīvoja, strādāja, vērpa, auda. Agrāk, kad cilvēki dzīvoja slīkšņās, nebija iespējams turēt aitas, tāpēc izmantoja koku vilnu. Stabilu otro vietu ieņēma kārklu audumi. Kārli, nātres, liepa un ozols tika izmantoti visbiežāk. Plaši izmantoja arī vītola audumus. Tie pieminēti arī hronikās. Pat no ābeles darināja deķus un kroņus. Tas viss smalki aprakstīts dainās. Savukārt purvos izmantoja vilkukūlu. Tas ir viens no senākajiem audumiem. Vilkukūla aug ciņos un no tās sanāk skaisti brūni un ļoti, ļoti silti audumi. „Izbradāju purvus, mežus, kūlas cimdi rociņā.”. No kūlas taisīja tādus pašus cimdus kā no ozola. „Purva krekli mugurā, purva kroņi galviņā.” Mīkstuma ziņā purva kūla ieņēma trešo vietu. Arī tās audumi ir ļoti veselīgi. Visgrūtāk uztaisīt audumu no egles un priežu skujām. Tas ir ķēpīgi, bet var. Dainās teikts: „Skuju deķis mugurā.” Gani, ejot ganos, sildījās ar skuju deķi. Praktiski šos audumus izmantoja visu mūžu. Viens kamzolis kalpoja visam mūžam. Reizi gadā upē to izmazgāja. Jau gadu vecam bērniņam mugurā vilka gobas kreklu, un to pēc tam nodeva nākošajam bērnam. Agrāk mazu bērnu šūpuļus iekāra pīlādža vilnas striķos, lai pīlādzis no visām četrām pusēm viņu sargātu. Pīlādzi izmantoja tikai aizsardzībai. Vairāk ar vilnas ieguvi un pīšanu nodarbojās vīrieši. Vaska drānas audumu prata nopīt jebkurš vīrietis. Viņi neizmantoja ne vārpstiņas, ne ratiņus, jo tādi vēl neeksistēja. Vērpšana notika tikai ar rokām, virpinot vilnu vienā virzienā no tapiņas līdz tapiņai, kamēr bija nopīts vajadzīgais garums. Pēc tam paņēma atbilstoša lieluma rāmi un taisīja audumu. Katrai lietai bija savs rāmis.

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!

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.

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.)

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!

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.

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!

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.

Relics (Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), S6 E4) was recommended by Kyyanno (Kyy for short, rhymes with Sky), he/him, who said: I've always loved the engineering side of Trek, from the designs of the ships to the entirely fictional but awesome systems that make them tick. I've read "Mr Scott's guide to the Enterprise" and the TNG "Technical Manual" from cover to cover many a time. Scotty was my favourite character from TOS, and Geordi from TNG, both making me want to pursue a career in engineering while growing up (which indeed I did!). To have both characters appearing *and* working together in the same episode of TNG was an absolute dream for me when it originally aired!Now that I'm older though, I watch the episode with more experienced eyes. Scotty's just trying to help and feel useful as he would have been, and yet just gets in the way, at least that's the impression he gets from Geordi, who is genuinely just trying to get his job done but doesn't quite realise his impact on Captain Scott's feelings. It's Picard's words to Scott in the holodeck, and then to Geordi later on that all a person wants is to be useful and feel wanted that *REALLY* hit home, 3 decades on.Sure, this episode pushes the fanboy buttons, but deep down it also makes us take a look at how we treat those around us who we feel might be past their prime (or how those of us approaching that age might feel). I did always find the "oh no, we're falling into the sun" part of the episode.... hang on.... *I SAY WE EJECT THE WARP CORE*.... don't they miraculously seem to fix everything amazingly in time to turn around and then get out of there once the doors open? Regardless, both Geordi and Scotty save the day, and the engineer in me squees with glee at it.Relics first aired on October 12, 1992, written by Ronald D. Moore, and directed by Alexander SingerThe Enterprise investigates a vessel that crashed on the surface of a Dyson sphere 75 years ago. A pattern is found in the transporter buffer that turns out to be Montgomery Scott. He is released from the buffer and later agrees to return to the vessel with Geordi to help restore the logs. They become the only hope when the Enterprise is accidentally pulled inside the sphere.

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.

Soap Operas, Starships, and the Paris/Locarno Thing The Sistas got to sit down with the one and only Robert Duncan McNeill. Before he was flying through the Delta Quadrant as Lieutenant Tom Paris, Robbie was stirring up drama on the classic soap All My Children. We talk about his early days on daytime TV, how he found his true calling behind the camera, and his journey from actor to one of the most respected directors in the biz. And yes, we had to ask about Tom Paris vs. Nick Locarno—and his answer? Let's just say it gave us life! We also geek out over his podcast The Delta Flyers with Garrett Wang, and how rewatching Voyager has given him a whole new appreciation for the show and the fans.

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). Meanwhile this week: civilian clothes, the scale of destruction, and wrapping up melding! [The Red Angel: 00:49; farewell for now to melds: 49:34] [just...just touchin' faces all over the shop: https://sshbpodcast.tumblr.com/post/784175586571599872/ill-spock-the-world-and-meld-with-you-pt-3 ]

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. Document and additional references: "These are the Voyages" shooting schedule and strip board - February 25, 2005 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.

Let's revisit an episode with our favorite celebrity sleuth Jordy Cray (@jordycray)! Although he's known for his viral takes on celebrity news and drama, there is more to Jordy's story that Alessandra resonates with. Jordy talks about his experience as an addict, the moment of realization and the long road to recovery that led him to want to help others. To end the episode, Jordy gives us his thoughts on the Zack Bryan drama, the Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Jason Kelce's lack of security guards. Check out Jordy on socials!
