In the second year of the Trek Geeks Podcast, Dan started doing puns during our weekly thanks to the band Five Year Mission. Before too long, those evolved into Farkisms--where he'd take the name of drummer Andy Fark and turn that into some kind of pun on an episode name. For years, people have been asking us of an episode of just the Farkisms, and there are so many, we had to break it up! So, this week, enjoy our first installment of Farkisms in "Farking Awesome, Volume 1!"

Season Four Retrospective Part 1.   Season four of Star Trek: Enterprise began with the resolution to the cliffhanger of aliens in Nazi uniforms that we saw in the final shot of "Zero Hour." How would the writers and producers resolve that plot thread, and how would the format of the show change now that the Xindi arc was completed? We begin a seven part series taking a look at the fourth season of the show by examining the stories and homages to TOS, which gave Enterprise the feel of the prequel that it was intended to be. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandi Jackola and Brandon-Shea Mutala are joined by Dan Davidson of the Trek Geeks Podcast to talk about the first part in our season four retrospective. We talk about the episodes "Storm Front," "Storm Front, Part II," and "Home." We also discuss Nazis, dinosaurs, Edith Keeler, and "shipping." Chapters Intro (00:00:00)  Welcome, Boomers!

Star Trek: Enterprise Trivia.   Star Trek fans love showing off just how much they know about the characters and episodes that they love. One fun way of challenging each other is through trivia, and some podcasters have even made a trivia segment a staple part their shows.

In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Floyd Dorsey and Brandon-Shea Mutala go head to head with Bill Smith and Dan Davidson, hosts of the Trek Geeks Podcast, in an all Enterprise trivia extravaganza!

When we started the Trek Geeks Podcast two years ago, we compiled a list of names--those people we'd love to talk to on the show someday. At the top of Dan's list was J.G. Hertzler--the actor who played General/Chancellor Martok in 25 episodes Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and appeared as two other characters on that series. We are honored and humbled to welcome J.G. to the podcast this week! We'll talk to J.G. about his time on the show and ask why he thinks that DS9 is enjoying such a resurgence now. We'll also talk about what it's like to work with Avery Brooks and also about his "The Left Hand of Destiny" series of novels featuring Martok!

When we started the Trek Geeks Podcast two years ago, we compiled a list of names--those people we'd love to talk to on the show someday. At the top of Dan's list was J.G. Hertzler--the actor who played General/Chancellor Martok in 25 episodes Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and appeared as two other characters on that series. We are honored and humbled to welcome J.G. to the podcast this week! We'll talk to J.G. about his time on the show and ask why he thinks that DS9 is enjoying such a resurgence now.

This week, we kick off our post Episode 100 journey with a fun discussion about the one and only William T.

Well, here we are.  Who would have thought two and a half years ago when we started this incredible journey that we would be bringing you Episode 100 of the Trek Geeks Podcast.  We could not be more thankful to each and every one of our listeners for making this happen.  We are so grateful to all of you.  For this wonderful occasion we felt we wanted to do something special and unique.  It isn't everyday you celebrate Episode 100, so we wanted it to be something that is very near and dear to our hearts. In November of 2015, we had the trip of a lifetime.  Vic Mignogna, creator, executive producer and star of Star Trek Continues, invited us to Stage 9 while the cast and crew were filming Episodes 6 and 7. We were able to witness first hand what it was like to see an episode of Star Trek being made and we were able to walk the corridors of the U.S.S. Enterprise.  We met so many wonderful people, we became friends with all of them, and most importantly we became family.  It was an experience like none other so we wanted to share that experience with you.   We hope you enjoy our audio documentary of our experience on the set of Star Trek Continues in our super-sized Episode 100: A Journey to Future's Past, Part 1.

It has been too long since the cast and crew of Star Trek Continues released Episode 7, so we have been waiting as patiently as possible for the latest adventure from our friends at STC. As Nero would say, "The wait is over!" and we are thrilled that Episode 8 of this highly acclaimed fan production is now available.  Released to fans over the weekend of April  1st, "Still Treads the Shadow" continues the story first told in the TOS episode "The Tholian Web." While investigating an event horizon in an uninhabited system, the crew of the Enterprise are shocked to come across the U.S.S Defiant, thought to be lost in interspace over a year ago!  The surprises don't stop there when it is revealed that the Defiant has a single passenger on board, and the condition and identity of that someone is what the crew least expected!  We think you will agree that STC has once again given us an amazing episode filled with drama and awesome guest stars! Plus, as a special bonus we are joined by The Captain himself, Vic Mignogna (in a record 4th appearance on Trek Geeks), to discuss this amazing story and the INCREDIBLE performance he gives in this episode.

As 2016 winds down, we thought we'd put together some special bonus content in the form of outtakes before we return with an all-new episode on January 3, 2017! Many of you know that following the end theme of every podcast episode, there is an outtake--something that we talked about either immediately before or after recording that week's show. Some of you have heard them, and some of you haven't, so we assembled a collection of all our clips from 2016 in not one, but TWO Supplemental Episodes of Trek Geeks! We had such great response to last year's Outtakes Special, that we doubled up on it this year, and we hope you enjoy it--and this second part is SUPER SIZED!
