Strange New Worlds "Through the Lens of Time" takes us to the halfway point already...can you believe it? When Chapel, Dr. Korby, Spock, La'an, Uhura, Ensign Gambel and Beto Ortegas beam down to start work on an archeological dig, things go awry quickly. Locked inside what appears to be a temple or palace, the crew finds themselves separated with no way out. Strange New Worlds brings us back to horror meets science fiction within incredibly intense and creepy episode as the away team attempts to find their way out without ending up like the skeletons the find when they first enter the structure. We got some serious vibes from a familiar yet terrifying science fiction/horror movie from the 90s starring Sam Neil!

Captain Bubbles and her Redshirts discuss and review the fourth episode the 3rd season titled "A Space Adventure Hour." The crew discuss how despite Paul Welsey nailing William Shatner, Jake lamenting another holodeck failsafe episode, and SP labeling it as a misplaced episode in the season, Shannon absolutely loved the murder mystery. The trio got exactly what they didn't want from La'An and spock to boot. But there was a heartfelt Scotty rehabilitation, a little help from Uhura, and a great round of Star Trek Trivial pursuit. It's always an Adventure hour with our Fancast. Thank you so much for listening to our coverage of Strange New Worlds.

Was passiert, wenn ein omnipotenter Wedding Planner eine Hochzeit auf Starbase One inszeniert – und Spock plötzlich Shorts verweigert? In „Wedding Bell Blues“ wird's campy, komisch und komplett kosmisch: Spock und Chapel, Uhura und das Maisfeld, Pike und die Lutrog-Rationen – und ein Reality-Warping-Wesen mit Theaterspleen, das verdächtig nach Trelane aussieht.

In dieser Episode unserer Star Trek Talkrunde widmen wir uns ausführlich der spannenden Crossover-Folge „Those Old Scientists“ aus der zweiten Staffel von *Strange New Worlds*, die am 22.07.2023 in den USA und am 23.07.2023 in Deutschland Premiere feierte. Die Vorfreude in unserem virtuellen Studio ist groß, denn wir erwarten viele interessante Aspekte und Diskussionen, während wir uns mit dieser besonderen Folge beschäftigen, die sowohl von *Strange New Worlds* als auch von *Lower Decks* beeinflusst ist. Die Episode behandelt nicht nur die Rückkehr zu klassischen Star Trek-Elementen, sondern stellt auch die aufregende Dynamik zwischen den Charakteren von zwei unterschiedlichen Serien in den Vordergrund. Daniela führt uns 120 Jahre in die Zukunft, als die Ensigns der Cerritos mithilfe eines Zeitportals Kontakt zu Captain Pikes Crew aufnehmen. Mit vielen humorvollen und auch nachdenklichen Momenten entfaltet sich die Handlung, die uns dazu zwingt, über die Themen Vorbilder und Stereotypen nachzudenken, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Orioner und deren Darstellung. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die technischen Details der Animation und das Design der Planeten, welche die Episode visuell ansprechend machen. Während wir uns in die Handlung vertiefen, erkennt man deutlich, dass die Charaktere sowohl in der Animation von *Lower Decks* als auch in der Live-Action von *Strange New Worlds* eine eigene, einzigartige Nuance haben. Hierbei ist auch die Beziehung zwischen Commander Bäumler und Captain Pike von zentraler Bedeutung, die mit humorvollen Momenten gespickt ist und gleichzeitig tiefere emotionale Konflikte aufzeigt. Im Verlauf des Gesprächs tauchen wir tief in die Beziehungen und Entwicklungen der Hauptfiguren ein, darunter auch die schwierige Dynamik zwischen Nurse Chapel und Spock. Während Bäumler in seine chaotischen Abenteuer eintaucht, erfahren wir mehr über die Herausforderungen, die die Figuren bewältigen müssen, und die interessanten Schwierigkeiten, die sich aus Zeitreisen ergeben. Die Episode spielt leidenschaftlich mit dem Konzept der Zeitreisen und beleuchtet, wie Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft miteinander verflochten sind. Ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt der Diskussion ist die Betrachtung des Star Trek-Kanons. Wir beschäftigen uns mit der Rolle von Büchern und Comics und stellen fest, dass der A-Kanon und B-Kanon harmonisch zusammenarbeiten sollten, um einen konsistenten Rahmen zu schaffen. Dabei wird auch die Bedeutung von Humor in der Serie beleuchtet, insbesondere in den Interaktionen zwischen Bäumler, Spock und Uhura, die die Komplexität und Tiefe ihrer Charaktere auf unterhaltsame Weise zur Geltung bringen. Abschließend reflektieren wir über die Balance zwischen humorvollen Elementen und emotionalem Tiefgang, die diese Episode prägt. Es ist klar, dass *Strange New Worlds* und *Lower Decks* künstlerisch und narrativ miteinander verwoben sind, um eine Geschichte zu erzählen, die sowohl Nostalgie als auch frische Perspektiven bietet. Mit jedem Detail, das wir besprechen, wächst unsere Begeisterung für die zukünftigen Entwicklungen und Abenteuer im Star Trek-Universum.

Der neue Trailer zu Staffel 3 von "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" ist eingeschlagen wie ein Plasmatorpedo und hat uns sprachlos zurückgelassen. Also haben wir das getan, was wir am besten können: Wir haben ihn in seine Einzelteile zerlegt und eine komplette Analyse-Sonderfolge daraus gemacht! In dieser Episode spekulieren wir über die größten Enthüllungen und Mysterien: - Was hat es mit den seltsamen, "zerfledderten" Klingonen auf sich? Steht uns eine Zombie-Apokalypse bevor? - Wie passt James T. Kirks frühe Kommandoübernahme in den Kanon von The Original Series? - Was verraten uns die neuen Romanzen über die emotionale Zukunft von Uhura und Spock? - Steht uns eine ausgewachsene Gorn-Invasion bevor und wie kann die Enterprise sie aufhalten? Wir verbinden die Punkte, stellen gewagte Thesen auf und versuchen, den strategischen Plan der Autoren für die kommende Staffel zu entschlüsseln. Macht euch bereit für eine tiefe Analyse voller Nerd-Wissen, wilder Spekulationen und der einen oder anderen schlechten Metapher.

Star Trek is at its best exploring Strange New Life! #Uhura seems to be the only one who can hear a strange sound that seems to trigger terrifying hallucinations.We are extremely honored to have Hemmer return to SNW and we have the ultimate honor to have the fantastic actor Bruce Horak returning to the Captains Quadrant! In this Ecstasy (#agonybooth) epsiode we relive #LostinTranslation with Bruce talkig about some #BTS and how he felt about the episode.

In dieser Episode diskutieren wir die neueste Folge von "Strange New Worlds", die den Titel "Lost in Translation" trägt. Gemeinsam mit meinen geschätzten Mitstreitern Arne und Frank steigen wir direkt in die Handlung ein, die uns in die Weiten des Weltraums führt, wo die Enterprise einer Tankstelle im All zugeteilt wird. Doch wie gewohnt, verläuft nicht alles wie geplant und wir werden Zeugen eines mysteriösen Geschehens, das die Crew in Atem hält. Besonders spannend ist die Reise von Uhura, die sich mit Halluzinationen und eigenen inneren Dämonen auseinandersetzen muss – ein Element, das wir aus verschiedenen Perspektiven analysieren. Ein zentrales Thema ist die zwischenmenschliche Dynamik innerhalb der Crew, besonders die Beziehung zwischen Uhura und den anderen Figuren, inklusive des unerwarteten Auftritts von Captain Kirk. Diese Begegnung wird nicht nur von einem emotionalen Aufeinandertreffen geprägt, sondern hebt auch Uhuras Herausforderungen als Offizierin hervor. Kirk hilft ihr, sich mit der Trauer um ihre verstorbenen Familienmitglieder auseinanderzusetzen, was der Episode eine tiefere emotionale Schicht verleiht, die sowohl berührend als auch aufschlussreich ist. Wir beleuchten auch die Beziehungsgeschichte zwischen den Brüdern Jim und Sam Kirk. Während Jim seiner Karriere bei der Sternenflotte nachgeht, hat Sam andere Prioritäten, was Spannungen und Missverständnisse zwischen den beiden hervorruft. Diese familiären Konflikte verankern sich in der gesamten Episode und geben einen Einblick in die Komplexität ihrer Beziehung, die durch ihren verstorbenen Vater, George Kirk, noch verstärkt wird. Diese ergreifenden Momente zeigen, wie stark familiäre Erwartungen und persönliche Ambitionen aufeinanderprallen. Ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt dieser Folge ist das Thema des Traumas und der Trauer. Wir analysieren die Art und Weise, wie Uhura mit ihren Halluzinationen umgeht, und welche Auswirkungen diese inneren Kämpfe auf ihr Verhalten und ihre Entscheidungen haben. Diese emotionalen Achterbahnfahrten bieten einen gelungenen Kontrapunkt zu den humorvollen Momenten innerhalb der Crew, die in der Kneipe der Enterprise zur Geltung kommen. Hier zeigen sich die Charaktere in entspannteren, lockereren Interaktionen, die dem Publikum die Möglichkeit geben, die Dynamik innerhalb des Teams zu erleben. Auf visueller Ebene sind die Effekte und die Darstellung des Weltraums herausragend, wobei die düstere Ästhetik der Umgebung die Emotionen der Charaktere unterstreicht. Besonders Uhurah's Halluzinationen werden einprägsam umgesetzt und ermöglichen es, ihre innere Zerrissenheit visuell zu transportieren. Die Kombination von Spannung, Drama und visueller Erzählkunst trägt dazu bei, dass diese Episode nicht nur unterhaltsam, sondern auch thematisch tiefgründig ist. Abschließend stellen wir uns die Frage, wie weit die Charaktere bereit sind zu gehen, um ihre inneren Konflikte zu bewältigen und was das für deren Entwicklung bedeutet. Während wir uns auf die kommenden Episoden freuen, bleibt die Frage, wie die Beziehung zwischen den Kirks und Uhura sich weiter entfalten wird und welche Herausforderungen auf sie warten. Diese vielschichtige Erzählung bietet reichlich Diskussionsstoff und regt dazu an, über die Funktionen von Familie, Freundschaft und die Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Vergangenheit nachzudenken.

Anthony and Laurie welcome actor and artist Bruce Horak to the podcast to talk about getting cast as Chief Engineer Hemmer on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, doing knife-catching scenes and death scenes, singing as a Klingon, filming during Covid, and bonding with Uhura. He also tells us about his way of seeing the world and how he’s expressing that in his painting and the documentary he’s crowdfunding, Boldly Going, in which he meets others who have overcome barriers to find creative freedom and purpose and paints their portrait as he talks to them, creating a moment of connection captured on canvas.

Those Old Scientists (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, S2 E7) was recommended by Bryan Love(Blackrain), who said: Time travel, cross over, animate, live action, fan boying or girling over your historical idols. What more can you ask for in a Star Trek episode? When on routine away mission to scan an ancient time portal, Ensign Boimier is sucked in into the portal and sent to the past just at the right time when Enterprise was making it's first discovery of that strange portal. Boimier tries his best not to contaminate the time line, but it's Boimier we're talking about. He's going to mess things up or his bestie Mariner will. Just when the crew of Enterprise has the one and only chance to get Boimier home through the ancient time portal, Mariner jumps through from her side thinking she's saving Boimier, but only stranding both of them in the past. Both Boimier and Mariner fan boy out on different Enterprise crew members.This is a great episode over all. Mixing the humor of Lower Decks with the hard hitting stories of Strange New Worlds. It was also perfect that both the voice actors for Boimier and Mariner both look closely like their cartoon characters. This episode always brings up that question of how would you react if you got to meet with you hero? Someone you never thought you would, ether living or dead.Those Old Scientists first aired on July 22, 2023, written by Kathryn Lyn & Bill Wolkoff, and directed by Jonathan FrakesIn the 24th century, ensign Brad Boimler of the USS Cerritos is assigned to investigate an ancient portal. The portal, which is powered by the rare substance horonium, sends him back in time 120 years where he is taken aboard the Enterprise. Boimler struggles to contain his excitement at meeting his heroes and also to prevent polluting the timeline with his knowledge of the future. The portal is stolen by an Orion ship and Pike trades grain supplies to retrieve it. They attempt to return Boimler to the future with the last remaining horonium, but ensign Beckett Mariner comes through the portal instead in a rescue attempt. Spock and Boimler unsuccessfully try to synthesize horonium so they can use the portal again while Mariner and Uhura work to translate engravings on the portal. Boimler realizes that horonium from the hull of the previous starship Enterprise was incorporated into Pike's Enterprise. They use this to send Boimler and Mariner back to their own time, while the Orions agree to accept credit for discovering the portal in exchange for allowing the Enterprise to continue peacefully.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

Temba, his arms wide!We have a new episode of Casual Trek for you and it's about language, no, not naughty language, although we're both British so we're VERY good at that. We're talking about times where language and communication have been important Trekian themes! First, everyone on Deep Space Nine is talking gibberish instead of Technobabble in ‘Babel' while in Strange New Worlds, Uhura's first away mission goes horribly awry when she has to communicate with the ‘Children of the Comet' and finally, we deal with one of The Next Generation's best episodes as we try and find out just who is Darmok and why was he at Tanagra in ‘Darmok.' Temba, at rest! Episodes Discussed: Babel (09:42), Children of the Comet (31:17) and Darmok (52:57)Talking Points Include: Catch-22, Sakamoto Days and the slow weebification of Charlie, Love Hurts, Sean Austin, is this Chief O'Brien's first worst day, Babel originally being a TNG script and how it would not have been as fun, the Odo/Quark dynamic, Kira having no time for BS, how irritating it must be to play a Vulcan sometimes, Sam Kirk is not this show's Kenny, does Strange New Worlds disregard Roddenberry's attitude to God? Uhura and Spock being friends, Miles misses Hemmer, when Spock thinks you ****ed up… you ****ed up! Troi's rather slim resume, Miles suffers the Darmok problem with UK-Specific references in the US, ‘Darmok' might be Star Trek's clearest descent into allegory, How ‘Darmok' inspired the scariest episode of Doctor Who, Picard's new jacket, Pedant's Corner: The Chuckle Brothers were a slapstick comedy duo popular on British children's telly. To me. To you. Rolf Harris was also a popular children's entertainer on British TV… until he was convicted on many charges of SA towards minors.Miles guesting on Famicom Dojo as Sean plays ‘Out of This World.' https://www.youtube.com/live/Ucv-hoyVmPU?si=hx_tb9k9qVCqZBMr

✨ Eine Szene, ein Schiff, ein Abenteuer!

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is a movie that begs the audience to ask many questions. Why does God need a Starship? Why is Captain Kirk climbing the mountain? How many “Rows” are in “Row Row Row Your Boat”? And more! From Farragut Forward, William Jay joins Case and Sam to attempt to answer a few of these questions.   Overview In the latest episode of the podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea, along with guest William J., delve into the complexities of "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier," celebrating the film's significance within the franchise on its 35th anniversary.

Rerun: Capt. James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Lt. Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) embraced and kissed on "Plato's Stepchildren"; an episode of ‘Star Trek' broadcast on 22nd November, 1968 - just a year after the Supreme Court declared interracial marriage to be legal. However, despite popular belief that this was TV's first interracial kiss, it wasn't. It wasn't even the first interracial kiss on TV featuring William Shatner… In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly examine just how slowly attitudes to ‘mixed marriage' were shifting in the United States; compare this iconic Trekkie moment to homoerotic frat-boy YouTube videos; and reveal how the actors concerned deliberately sabotaged ‘the wide' so their kiss would be screened coast-to-coast… Further Reading: • Kirk and Uhura kiss on ‘Star Trek' (Paramount Television, 1968): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lThvEsP5-9Y • ‘'Star Trek's' interracial kiss 50 years ago boldly went where none had gone before' (NBC News, 2018): https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/star-trek-s-interracial-kiss-50-years-ago-went-boldly-n941181 • ‘Nichelle Nichols on filming the first interracial kiss on American television' (Archive of American Television, 2010): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hKKkGhEDoU ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

Aspen hates Whom Gods Destroy. Kenny loves Defenders of Peace (and so does Aspen). Is the Galactic Republic a strictly American analog? We also discuss the nature of conflict. Also, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov are constantly undercut.

Show Notes: Despite what Americans may think, moral panics about TV exist everywhere and today, we begin the exploration of a doozy. The start of a two-part look into four episodes of Star Trek that came a cropper at the hands of Auntie Beeb (a not-so affectionate term for the BBC) that of course allows Miles to indulge in one of his favourite talking points about British movie culture - Video Nasties! Because of this, we're only looking at two episodes per part. In ‘Miri,' we see some very familiar style backlots and some very 1960s ways of talking to young women which definately makes our casual explorers think Auntie may have a point! Then, we jump straight to the third season of The Original Trek as our heroes endure ten minutes of plot and forty minutes of bloody nonsence in ‘Plato's Stepchildren,' possibly one of the most famous episodes of Star Trek (unless you're from the Deep South) but is consent more important than controversy? Whatever we decide, the Big List will change forever! Episodes discussed: ‘Miri' (10:39) and ‘Plato's Stepchildren' (38:17) Talking Points: Video Nasties, why were these episodes banned from broadcast until the 90s, Miles' first choice for his Non-Trek thing indicates some wider issues, Alien Romulus, Miles misses Stupid Drunk British Lads smashing stuff with pipes, Astro's Playroom, Miles and Charlie have different views towards achieving Platinum on games, Miri, Miles only wants to talk about lists, not get put on one himself, the always creepy 'she looks 14 but she's actually 300 trope,' Kirk's charm here does not read well in 2024, exact replicas of Earth are a little silly, how many SF societies wipe themselves out looking for immortality (and Miles pulls out a bit of 'meanwhile in the UK, Doctor Who was doing this' coincidence), we briefly touch on the rather triggering experiences of Grace Whitney (Yeoman Rand) shortly after this episode and her leaving the series, the oddly faced Steven Jay Pollard, Droogs in waiting, Shatner clearly trying not to punch a child, did the BBC have a point with Miri? Violence from children, inferred child-death, Hey Jude, the majesty of the theme for ‘The Good, The Bad and the Ugly,' whenever people bring up eugenics, just turn around and run, we've started to incorporate our experiences with Space 1999 into watching Star Trek, nonsense starts and just generally never stops, Charlie gets slap-happy, Mary Whitehouse would not approve which is fine because we don't approve of Mary Whitehouse. The nonsense gets creepy when Spock starts singing and it gets REALLY creepy when Kirk and Uhura is made to smooch, Charlie really wants to make a Dragonball Z joke here, when it's done, Miles is pulling off the band-aid, some real shame on our heroes her, is this our first mention of slash-fics? This episode doesn't go full-Hellraiser, No Gods No Philosopher Kings, sorry Parmon, one day Miles will go on a long tirade on how people misuse the term ‘Lynchian,'how much truth is there in the legend, would you show this to your partner and we can't escape Shatner's disturbingly pointy nipple, Miles has watched some wank in his life and that definately reflects his opinion of the episode, Miles poses Charlie a very important question.

Hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton attempt to make clumsy slug metaphors while debating Trek's success ratio for following up a successful premiere. From Garak's crowd-pleasing debut, to Uhura's first away mission and steamy Data/Yar sexy times, the duo examine the franchise's many second episodes and decide which ones best paved the way for the journey ahead.  Join our Facebook page for exclusive content such as videos and bonus episodes.

Not content with the leading role in every Star Trek thing ever, William Shatner takes a seat in both the captain's and the director's chair for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.So how will Shatner's Trek directorial debut compare to what's come before? If you guessed 'More unicorns, Uhura takes her clothes off, and Spock shoots God in the face?' - my word you're good, which is more than we can say for the actual movie. OR IS IT? Perhaps watching The Final Frontier as the next step on our Trek trek lends it enough context as to soften our hearts. Is Rob a Star Trek fan yet?

Spring has sprung, so it's no better time for a seasonal special, baby!! Join Joe, Ali, Chris, and Branson as they draft their dream Trek bridge crew, chat about Vulcans, oh and make one incredible surprise announcement. Don't miss it!TREK DRAFT RULESThis will be a snake draft.You will draft a crew of 7 officers to helm your StarshipYour crew must fill the following roles: Captain, Executive Officer/Security Officer, Science Officer, Ship's Doctor, Chief Engineer, a ‘soft skills' officer (Guinan, Neelix, Uhura), and a Wildcard (Wesley, Nog, someone else from another role).These roles may be drafted in any order, but failure to draft each of these positions will result in an invalid draft slate and immediate ejection from the draft.Babylon Who? Battlestar Galacti-what? Only characters from Star Trek series and films are eligible for this draft. Firefly is in the jar! Han Solo? A no-no!The JJ Decree: Eligible series and movies for this draft must take place in what is commonly understood as the main Star Trek universe. The JJ Abrams versions of characters are not eligible.For each slot, the character must reasonably be able to serve in that role. For example: Beverly Crusher could conceivably serve as your Captain, but Jean-Luc Picard could not be your Doctor.Quark's on the bridge? Trek characters who are not Federation officers but could serve in these roles are eligible. These characters are also eligible to be wildcards.Distribution: Your crew cannot come exclusively from one series.Draft Exclusivity: Once you draft a character, no other player may draft that character to their crew. This includes time travel/Mirror Universe/alternate future counterparts.Sulu's Rule: If a character has multiple jobs over the course of their Starfleet career, that does not mean they are eligible multiple times. If Player A drafts Sulu as their helmsman, Player B cannot draft movie Sulu as their Captain, etc.Combs's Bylaw: Different characters played by the same actor are eligible to be drafted alongside each other or by different players. Player A could draft Weyoun and Brunt (both played by Jeffrey Combs) if they so choose.Uhura's Corollary: When a single character is played by different actors, those different performances are considered one (1) character. If TOS Uhura is drafted, Strange New Worlds Uhura is ineligible.The Riker Exception: Because William Riker gets split into two people in that one episode and his double, Thomas Riker goes on to live a separate, individual life from the point of that split, for the purposes of this Draft both Rikers are eligible.You are allowed to name your ship.You heard right!  The whole cast is doing a LIVE SHOW AT THE BELL HOUSE IN BROOKLYN ON MARCH 30TH.  Rude Tales of Magic: Lent Enders!  Buy your tickets now!!Join our Patreon now for tons more stuff, including AN ENTIRE ADDITIONAL EPISODE EVERY MONTH for patrons only.
