Podcasts about uhura

Anika and Liz take command of the Enterprise and discuss Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "Orders of Magnitude". And Anika goes on a journey from "It's a good episode but I don't like it" to "Actually, maybe it's a bad episode?"  Finally we're back to proper Strange New Worlds: a deeply regressive and problematic story, competently told Why are we talking about the war like it was 20 years ago?  Is SNW lightly criticising the IDF after a couple of seasons of pro-genocide subtext, or are we just taking a strong stance against the 2003 invasion of Iraq? M'Benga sacrificing his career for Kirk is … bad optics to say the least La'an has been single for all of thirty seconds, now she can pursue Jim SIBLING MUTINY! "It was a good episode for Kirk, but why is this episode about Kirk?" The B plot: Temu Shran versus Starfleet's Worst Captain, while Uhura learns that killing is super cool and fun

"Orders of Magnitude."In the second-to-last episode of Strange New Worlds' fourth season, Admiral Reeger (Joe Morton) takes command of the U.S.S. Enterprise on a chase to track down a ship that killed five million Federation citizens, including his family. James Kirk, on vacation from the Farragut, is temporarily assigned as first officer. They track the ship down, but what ensues is a potential planetwide genocide. Meanwhile, on a nearby planet, Pike and a landing party are taken prisoner by a group of Andorian mercenaries, and it is up to Uhura to save the day.

It's the soap opera episode. It's better than the puppet episode but not actually good. Season 4 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is killing Anika and Liz's will to live, one gimmick at a time. Why is SNW doing a soap opera episode? It doesn't seem to be out of great love and respect for the genre… Anson Mount is a much better character actor than leading man, and they should stop putting him in a leading man box "Pike knows it's fake because he has already lived a soap opera" is a damning indictment of the third season finale Imagine if Uhura ever got to have a storyline in her own right where she gets to be a competent adult Deidre Hall understands the assignment Take a drink every time one of us says, "It was rough" "What an amazing idea that you did nothing with. Again."

Today we're heading back to Terrificon 2024 for a Star Trek: Strange New Worlds panel featuring Ethan Peck,Mr Spock, and Celia Rose Gooding, who plays Uhura.At the time, Season Two had wrapped, and fans were still buzzing over that very strange and very funny “Four and a Half Vulcans” teaser scene that Paramount had just unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con.Ethan and Celia took my questions and plenty from a packed room of eager Trek fans, talking about their characters, the evolving relationships aboard the Enterprise, and where the series might be headed next.And listening back now, with Seasons Three and Four in the rearview mirror, it's fascinating how much they actually revealed ,sometimes deliberately, (sometimes almost prophetically) about stories and character directions that were still to come.And along with plenty of new podcasts, Word Balloon will also be celebrating Star Trek's 60th anniversary, which arrives on September 8th .Sixty years to the day since the original series first premiered in 1966.

As we approach the release of the newest iPhones, Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, and Jeff Gamet look at how science fiction and popular culture imagined modern communication long before the technology existed. From early video-phone concepts and Dick Tracy to Star Trek, Get Smart, Space: 1999, and more, the panel examine fictional devices that anticipated smartphones, wearables, Bluetooth earbuds, video calls, authentication, mobile computing, and maybe even foreshadow what's coming next.

Matt and Deb rank all thirteen of the theatrically-release Star Trek movies! Listen as we share how we discovered the original TV show, personal memories of when and how we saw some of the films, and which ones are our favorites.

In 1968, American television boldly went where it had never gone before, broadcasting what's claimed to be the country's first interracial kiss in a TV programme. The moment of passion was between Captain Kirk of the starship USS Enterprise and communications officer Lieutenant Uhura, in Star Trek. Nichelle Nichols played Uhura in the cult series, and she was one of the first black women to be featured on American TV in a non-subservient role. Through archive BBC interviews, Nichelle explains the story behind that famous scene. Produced and presented by Reena Stanton-Sharma. Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive. Each weekday, in around nine minutes, we revisit one moment that helped shape the world and hear it through the voice of someone who was there. Scientists, artists, campaigners, soldiers, leaders and everyday people tell their true stories.When you subscribe to Witness History, you'll be taken inside turning points in world affairs from West Africa's fight back against Boko Haram in 2015 to the behind-closed-doors talks that led to the US-Cuba “thaw” and the surprise announcement of restored relations. You'll discover what it was like to experience disasters and how people recovered from them, including the Tabasco floods in Mexico, Portugal's worst train disaster, and the huge clean-up after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. You'll explore culture and ideas too: Sweden's Expedition Robinson, often credited as the first modern reality TV game show; the friendship between The Beatles' George Harrison and Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar; and the night a tiger attack brought Las Vegas superstars Siegfried and Roy's show to a sudden end. And if you're curious about inventions, we'll tell you how air fryers, BlackBerry, YouTube, Alexa, GPS, superglue, the shopping cart (shopping trolley) and bubble tea were created.If you're new to Witness History, the appeal is simple: real voices, one strong true story, and a fresh way to understand today through events from history – all in the time it takes to enjoy a cup of tea or a walk around the block. Join millions of BBC World Service podcast listeners around the globe and enjoy the insight, context and detail Witness History will bring you.(Photo: Nichelle Nichols as Lieutenant Uhura in Star Trek in 1967.

It's a nice laid back vibe as just Jack and Barm get together to discuss the pleasantness of Uhura, the welcome return of some lowkey creepy Star Trek vibes, the excitement of seeing Hemmer back in several forms, Super Kirk Bros. dynamics, and DEUTERIUM DEUTERIUM DEUTERIUM.  Naturally, Lost in Translation the film comes up, not to mention the HOTTEST new summer blockbuster: OPPENHEIMER.  Nuance may sometimes be lost in translation, but FUN never is! 

"A Case of Chiaroscuro."In the fourth episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' fourth season, Una, M'Benga, and Uhura are trapped on an alien world that only works in black and white monochromatic colors and live a very 1940s esque lifestyle. Unfortunately, it has been a conquered planet of the Klingon Empire, and the occupier, Kor is being met with a quiet and subtle resistance cell, who was led by someone who looks like Una. In this audio-only episode of the Saturday livestream edition of Twin Cities Trekkies, Wes talks about the episode, and gives fun podcasting updates.

The Ultimate Computer (Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS), S2 E24) was recommended by Tana he/they, who said: Tana here again. In my quest to submit one recommendation from each of my formative Trek series (TNG, Voy, DS9, and TOS) the original series one has eluded me the most.For me TOS was a show I mostly watched after knowing the other ones. It wasn't being re run on TV much if at all where I was, while I eagerly recorded TNG, Voyager, and DS9 on the vcr and could watch and rewatch them endlessly.I did, however, buy a few individual episodes of TOS on VHS at my local big box electronics store. I only got four, because they were expensive for me as a teen, but they definitely wetted my appetite for the show that started it all.Of them, The Ultimate Computer stuck with me the most, and I don't hear It brought up a ton. It has a bit of everything that I love about classic Trek.You have Kirk and the others struggling with their love of technological progress running into the possibility of their lives being upended by such an advance.You have diversity in super genius scientist played by a black man in the 1960's.Kirk using his brains over brawn approach to talk a computer to death.You even get some space combat!The entire main cast does a fantastic job in this one as well. I'll give a special nod to Shatner, Kelley, and Marshall.All around it's a fantastically well balanced example of Original Star Trek. It has great interpersonal drama woven around an age old tale of man vs machine.As for the specifics of the plot, I leave that for you to discuss and enjoy.The Ultimate Computer first aired on March 8, 1968, written by story by Laurence N. Wolfe, teleplay by D. C. Fontana, and directed by John Meredyth LucasA new computer system causes havoc while being tested aboard the Enterprise. With most of the Enterprise crew deboarded, a new M5 multitronic system is installed to test if it can control the Enterprise and manage operations aboard. Dr. Richard Daystrom has built this M5 unit and will oversee the test. Everything goes as planned as the M5 unit completes the demonstration tasks, but somehow the machine begins gaining too much control of the Enterprise, which starts to worry Spock and Kirk. When Kirk says he wants the M5 to let go of some of the controls the machine begins to see that as a threat and starts locking out all manual controls. This becomes a problem because the next task is a mock battle with three starships, which the M5 thinks are actual attacks. The M5 loads the torpedoes, destroys the USS Excalibur and seriously damages the USS Lexington. Dr. Daystrom tries to talk to the M5 but becomes mentally unstable, so Spock puts him to rest. Then Kirk talks to the M5 and makes it understand that it was designed not to harm humans, a rule the M5 has broken by attacking the USS Lexington and Excalibur. The M5 realizes that its understanding is still weak and destroys itself. Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Scotty and Chekov retake control of the ship and return safely to base.[2]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

Luces, sombras, klingons y una misión que sale mal.Esta semana en Remeras Rojas nos metemos de lleno en “A Case of Chiaroscuro”, episodio 4 de la 4ta temporada de #StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsUna misión de la Enterprise lleva a Una, M'Benga y Uhura a un planeta ocupado por los klingons. Pero lo que comienza como una operación de rutina termina convirtiéndose en una historia de resistencia, identidades confundidas y secretos del pasado. Y todo contado con una estética de cine noir en blanco y negro.Y sí: hay klingons, hay Kor y hay MUCHO para discutir.En el vivo vamos a analizar:-la historia y sus referencias a Star Trek clásico-la decisión de contar el episodio como film noir-la ocupación klingon y el conflicto de Mat'Aar XII-Una, M'Benga y Uhura como protagonistas-continuidad, canon y conexiones con el universo Trek------------------------------------------------Ayudanos a bancar esta locura comprándonos un cafecito en: ⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/remerasrojas⁠⁠https://cafecito.app/remerasrojasBuscanos nuestras redes:Facebook: ⁠ https://www.facebook.com/remerasrojasTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/remerasrojas Instragram: https://www.instagram.com/remerasrojasTikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/@remeras.rojasBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/remerasrojas.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.net/@remerasrojasivoox: ⁠⁠https://remerasrojas.ivoox.com⁠⁠Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0JadZRuq4kibyGbkbGrYzkYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/RemerasRojas?sub_confirmation=1

This podcast is presented in vivid black-and-white, as we discuss a Strange New World visit that reminds us a lot of a TOS episode—but without the bright colors designed to sell color television sets in the 1960s. Una ponders space doppelgangers, M’Benga enjoys a selection of hats and coats, and Uhura gets the mind probe. Gratuitous Klingon guest stars! Confusing sci-fi rules! And if you haven’t seen “Casablanca,” well… Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Diesmal haben wir die großartige Laura zu Gast. Sie ist nicht nur unglaublich sympathisch, sondern auch die deutsche Synchronstimme von Uhura in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Ein seit neun Jahren verschollenes Sternenflottenschiff taucht plötzlich wieder auf – leer, unversehrt und ungefähr so vertrauenerweckend wie ein Flüstern aus dem dunklen Keller. In unserer Folgenbesprechung zu „The Griffin Incident“, der zweiten Episode der vierten Staffel von Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, sprechen wir über Weltraumhorror, Spocks Kampf gegen das Unbegreifliche, Kirks Familienfragen und La'ans ganz persönliche Begegnung mit dem Unbekannten. Dabei fragen wir uns: Muss Star Trek seine kosmischen Phänomene erklären? Wann wird wissenschaftliche Neugier zu Leichtsinn? Und warum betritt eigentlich immer jemand das offensichtlich verfluchte Geisterschiff?

The Summer of Sequels continues as we boldly go back to one of the greatest sequels ever made: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan! More than 40 years after its release, The Wrath of Khan remains the gold standard for what a sequel can be. It's a deeply human story about friendship, sacrifice, aging, and finding purpose in the later chapters of life.Directed by Nicholas Meyer and featuring James Horner's iconic score, the film stars William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Spock, Ricardo Montalbán as Khan Noonien Singh, DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard McCoy, James Doohan as Montgomery Scott, Nichelle Nichols as Uhura, George Takei as Hikaru Sulu, Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov, Kirstie Alley as Lieutenant Saavik, Bibi Besch as Dr. Carol Marcus, and Merritt Butrick as Dr. David Marcus.Stick around until the end for a round of Trek Trivia!Live long and prosper, nomads.

Die Enterprise fliegt wieder.

In dieser Folge von Strange New Worlds sprechen wir über die siebte Episode der dritten Staffel, „Was ist die Sternenflotte?“. Die gesamte Folge ist als Dokumentation aufgebaut, in der Beto Ortegas Interviews und Aufnahmen nutzt, um die Sternenflotte kritisch zu befragen. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, ob die Organisation vor allem für Forschung und Diplomatie steht oder auch als militärisches Instrument handelt. Wir begleiten eine Mission zur kriegsgeplagten Welt rund um Lutani 7 und Khazar. Die Enterprise soll ein Wesen namens Jikaru transportieren, das genetisch verändert und als Waffe eingesetzt werden soll. Die Crew erfährt nur wenig über den Auftrag und muss mit unvollständigen Informationen arbeiten. Im Verlauf der Dokumentation werden verschiedene Crewmitglieder befragt, darunter Pike, Una, Spock, Uhura, La'an, Erica und Joseph Mbenga. Dabei geht es um Verantwortung, Befehle, Gewalt und die Frage, wie viel Kritik an der Sternenflotte gerechtfertigt ist. Besonders betont wird auch, dass Beto viele Aussagen so zusammenschneidet, dass die ersten Teile der Folge sehr negativ wirken. Ein wichtiger Teil der Handlung ist der Kontakt mit dem Jikaru. Spock versucht über eine Gedankenverschmelzung, mehr über das Wesen zu erfahren. Es wird deutlich, dass das Jikaru leidet und sterben möchte. Am Ende entscheidet die Crew, den Wunsch zu respektieren und es in Richtung Sonne fliegen zu lassen. In den Interviews rückt die Folge am Ende die Sternenflotte wieder positiver ins Bild. Mehrere Figuren sprechen darüber, dass die Sternenflotte ihnen Halt, Disziplin oder eine Heimat gegeben hat. Die Folge endet mit dem Gedanken, dass die Organisation von den Menschen geprägt wird, die in ihr dienen.

Spock übernimmt auf der Enterprise das Unterhaltungsprogramm. Die Crew erwartet einen lustigen Blooper Reel. Sie bekommt Tod. Trauma. Schwere persönliche Verluste.

Stephan, Pietsch und Nova haben ihre Kalender abgeglichen und tatsächlich einen Termin vor dem 23. Jahrhundert gefunden, um sich ihrem heißgeliebten, längst überfälligen Thema zu widmen: „Star Trek“.

Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, Teil 17: 400 Tonnen Wal, ein beleidigter Spock & klingonischer Gegenwind! Kirk will nur schnell zurück ins 23. Jahrhundert, aber Gillian Taylor denkt sich: schöne Zeitreise, ich komme mit. Also hebt die getarnte Bounty aus dem Golden Gate Park ab, wirbelt Jogger:innen um, sucht Wale auf einer viel zu groben Frequenz und steuert mit fragwürdiger Physik Richtung Beringsee. Ganz normaler Dienstag in San Francisco, nur mit mehr Buckelwal und weniger funktionierender Kausalität. In dieser Folge rechnen wir uns durch Scottys berühmte 400 Tonnen, erklären, warum 401 Megahertz gleichzeitig erstaunlich gut und absolut unbrauchbar ist, schauen auf das Presidio als zukünftigen Sitz der Sternenflotte und erleben McCoy in Höchstform, wenn er Spock mit einem einzigen Satz liebevoll diagnostiziert. Dazu: Transporter-Horror, Full Impulse als atmosphärischer Scheibenvernichter und die Frage, ob Star Trek gerade aus einem alten Militärposten eine Zukunft baut, die endlich etwas gelernt hat.

John Hudson and I take on a classic Blaxploitation film!   TRUCK TURNER (1974) stars the great Isaac Hayes as the titular character, a modern-day bounty hunter in Los Angeles. Along with his partner he tracks down people for bail bondsmen which is a far more dangerous job than you might expect. Sadly, this is the only lead role Hayes was ever afforded and it was offered to him so the producers could also get him to provide the film's score. Luckily for fans, he handles both creative opportunities well. In fact, I find the music he supplies for this film to be superior to his Oscar winning SHAFT score. Check it out and let us know what you think. There has been an ongoing conversation about the best Blaxploitation films for decades but nearly every fan will put this film in their top five. It plays like a western set in the 1970's with bad guys getting their comeuppance in suitable, violent ways. The story is fast paced and exciting with plenty of colorful characters peppering the trail Truck follows while dealing with scumbags. The film was originally written for a very different cast in mind but, once the change was made, the collaborative spirit of the production made for a satisfying film. Besides Hayes as Mack ‘Truck' Turner the cast is stacked with excellent character actors such as Scatman Crothers, Charles Cyphers, Dick Miller, Sam Lewis and a brilliant villain role for the great Yaphet Kotto. Plus, if you ever wondered what it would be like to see Lt. Uhura from Star Trek whip a stable of prostitutes into line, this is your chance. Whew! If you have any comments about this movie or any other film we've covered on the show thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. Thank you for listening and we'll be back soon. 

Hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton sell their stock in Chateau Picard while debating which Trek characters could profit most from their hobbies. From Riker's trombone skills, to Saru's green thumb and Uhura's angelic voice, the duo debate which icon has the best post-Starfleet backup plan.

Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, Teil 15: Ein Hubschrauber schwebt über dem Park, Scotty taucht halb aus dem Nichts auf, Gillian Taylor rennt gegen ein getarntes Raumschiff – und schreit sich anschließend einfach durch den Beamvorgang hindurch. Alles völlig normal. Klar. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die berühmte Parkszene aus Star Trek IV und darüber, wie sie 1986 wahrscheinlich gedreht wurde: also nicht mit heutiger Komfort-CGI, sondern sehr wahrscheinlich mit klassischer optischer Tricktechnik, Bluescreen, Matte-Arbeit und ILM-Zauberei aus der photochemischen Ära. Wir schauen dazu auf ein spannendes Interview mit Kameramann Don Peterman bei der American Society of Cinematographers. Außerdem: – Warum Gillians durchgehender Schrei beim Beamen physikalisch erstaunlich plausibel ist – Warum Beamen trotzdem energetisch kompletter Irrsinn bleibt – Was Metin Tolan dazu sagt – Warum Kirk Gillian „Alice“ nennt – Welche Rolle Alice im Wunderland sonst noch in Star Trek spielt – Warum die Aussage, die Wale seien schon in Alaska, zoologisch eher unter Fantasy fällt – Und was es mit dem Mission District in San Francisco wirklich auf sich hat Mit anderen Worten: Wir reden über Filmtricks, Physik, Lewis Carroll, Buckelwale, Kolonialgeschichte, Murals und ein Krankenhausproblem namens Chekov. Also über genau die Dinge, die man von einem entspannten Star-Trek-Abend erwartet. #StarTrek #StarTrekIV #TheVoyageHome #DiscoveryPanel #Kirk #Spock #Scotty #GillianTaylor #Chekov #Sulu #Uhura #ILM #DonPeterman #Beamen #Transporter #Buckelwale #MissionDistrict #SanFrancisco #StarTrekPodcast

The Enterprise D is tooling along like it does when they jolt out of warp and find themselves face-to-face with a big ass Dyson Sphere! What's a Dyson Sphere you ask? It's a giant shell that encompasses a star, creating a whole new environment for people to inhabit. As crazy as that sounds, the crew finds something even crazier on the surface of the sphere--the wreck of an old Starfleet vessel, the Janolan, and it's showing signs of life! Riker, Geordi, and Worf beam over to find someone stored in the old ship's transporter. Well saints be praised, it's Montgomery Scott! That's right! Scotty! He was chief engineer of the original Enterprise, no bloody A, B, C, or D! Time to break out the booze and the bagpipes! Or is it? Seems being 75 years out of time is making our favorite Scot feel unmoored and without purpose. That is until Picard asks Geordi to take Scotty to the Janolan to recover some ship's logs on the Dyson Sphere. Good thing, too, because the Enterprise D suddenly finds themselves trapped inside the thing with no way out! Will Scotty and Geordi figure out a way to free the Enterprise? Will Scotty find a new life in the 24th century? Will someone please tell us what happened to Uhura?

Show Notes: Miles and Charlie are climbing a mountain, why are they climbing a mountain? Is it to meet God? The Devil? Their approaching mid-life crises? Whichever, we have now approached the 199th and 200th episodes of Trek on Our Big List and we are celebrating, if not in style, then with a movie- Star Trek V The Final Frontier to be exact. But before that, we have a little animated amuse-bouche with ‘The Magicks of Megas-Tu' where the Enterprise meets the Devil and Miles realises that for him, his adventure with Trek has brought him back to the beginning. Will he confront his pain or does he need his pain? Row Row Row your Boat.Episodes Discussed: Mystics of Megas-Tu (17:50) and Star Trek V-The Final Frontier (44:52)TALKING POINTS INCLUDE: The Scrubs reboot, Spider-Man 2, the issues with Marvel's use of Ultraman, why did Miles' mum have a crush on David Cassidy? Ed Bishop, the weird mystical stuff of Star Trek, Spock's nerdy use of magick, Bones' probably would go Matthew Hopkins in this situation, Miles' early memories of Star Trek was weird, how did this get past the US censors? The Shatnerverse starts here, Klaa looks like a Klingon Bill Bailey, a criminal waste of David Warner, when the comedy does and doesn't work, Shatner just having a nice little run around, do Vulcans have goths? Sybok is too pathetic to be played by Connery, you sometimes need to tell your audience if you're doing a subtext, was Uhura brought along specifically for naked fan dance? Charlie talks about his root canal, Why did the audience not like this film? Thankfully Sybok was not made the next Khan, familial cannibalism, is our 200th episode of Trek covered better or worse than our 1st, The Cage? How has John Lithgow not been in Star Trek? (Especially instead of that wizard show)

As a diverse crew faced alien planets and tackled ethical questions audience numbers dwindled and cancellation loomed. The show was finally axed in 1969 but a growing fanbase aided by syndication meant what could have been a small part of TV history actually became a huge phenomena. My amazing Trekkie guests discuss the origins of my favourite franchise. Julian Chambliss is a scholar and a professor at Michigan State University. He has taught Star Trek as part of his Media Race and Culture classes. Carey Millsap-Spears is a professor of communications/literature at Moraine Valley Community College.

Join Girafe and Emcee as they sit down to review and deep dive into the recently released Star Trek Deviations One Shot from IDW Publishing, "Threads of Destiny!"This special one-shot features Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. In the 23rd century, she explores far-flung star systems with her crew on the Enterprise as part of her mission to communicate and build bridges with life found across the Galaxy. But in the 20th century, humankind was working to build understanding among themselves, with African Americans on Earth championing the Civil Rights Movement and using their voices and acts of protest to end racial segregation and discrimination.Now, by way of the Guardian of Forever, Uhura is yanked back through time to 1963. There, she'll join all those fighting for equality and justice and reconnect to why her work as a communications officer is perhaps the most important work of all.Plus, News, and so much more on episode 280 of Strange New Pod!Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Episode 205 Strange New Worlds Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach / Lost in Translation.  Eric and I boldly go into this pair of Pike focused (and doomed romance) and Uhura focused episodes. Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach Rating: Eric: 7, Bob: 5.  Lost in Translation rating Eric: 6, Bob: 4.

Dean Karayanis, former Rush Limbaugh staffer and New York Sun columnist, steps in for Derek Hunter. The show digs into the 2026 war with Iran, a critique of media "elites," and a reflection on the shifting tides of American foreign policy and cultural resilience. The New York Times' skepticism regarding Israel's "decapitation" strategy against Iranian leadership is debunked with historical parallels to the fall of the Nazi regime. Dean pulls no punches on the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, the "trust policies" of Fairfax County that he argues are endangering citizens, and the curious silence of the "Arab Street" as Iran's proxies face dismantling. The episode rounds out with a cultural critique — moving from the "woke" re-branding of Texas Democrats to the aspirational, colorblind philosophy of Star Trek's original series. It's a masterclass in connecting historical precedent to the chaotic reality of 2026. The Iran Conflict: Why "decapitating" leadership works and why the media is desperate to find "pragmatic" terrorists. NATO & The "Ugly American": A look at France and Ireland's critiques of U.S. policy and why Dean agrees with Lord Palmerston that nations have no permanent allies, just permanent interests. Domestic Security: The tragic murder of Stephanie Minter and the "trust policies" hampering law enforcement. Star Trek Philosophy: What Kirk, Uhura, and Lincoln can teach us about not fearing words in a hypersensitive age.

TRUSTING HIS FARRAGUT. Lt. Commander Kirk is thrust into command of the USS Farragut, but thankfully, he has Spock, Scotty, Uhura, and Nurse Chapel there to help him get through a hairy situation. Meanwhile, aboard a captured Enterprise, Chris and La'an play Lee & Starbuck, skulking the corridors taking out Cylons -- I-I mean ancient astronauts who've lost their humanity and are trying to strip the ship for parts.

The Savage Curtain (Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS), S3 E22) was recommended by Kaleb, he/him, who said: So, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the deathmatch?This is always a good episode to sit down with a friend and just take the absolute piss out of; it's an episode that has a strangely high amount of warp cores given how much I like it.The awful Lincoln makeup, mischaracterizing my favorite historical war criminal, and the comment to Uhura (which I know was trying to Make A Point, but kinda just makes me go “oh god Uhura, darling, if you wanna start punching I'm behind you all the way”).Relatedly, though, I actually really like how Lincoln is characterized- it might just be because I'm from the same area, but I've always had a soft spot for the guy. In this episode, he has both admirable qualities and also prompts my above warp core, as would most guys from the 1800s.I think the aliens are really cool looking, kinda like the Horta where their biology is so different from humans, especially given that they're filling the “advanced culture fucking with us for philosophical reasons” role usually given to disembodied beings or some beautiful twink.It's ridiculous and stupid and I love it so much.The Savage Curtain first aired on March 7, 1969, written by story by Gene Roddenberry, teleplay by Gene Roddenberry and Arthur Heinemann, and directed by Herschel DaughertyAliens force Kirk and Spock to battle illusionary villains in a test of good versus evil.[2]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're getting into We ❤️ Movies Month here on The Nexus as well, that's right, it's time for us to (finally) take a look at the masterful Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country! When you really get down to it, putting the legendary villain of Khan aside, there's a real argument to be made that THISis the best of all Star Trek films. How incredible is this cold open with Captain Sulu? Did they drop the storyline of Scotty and Uhura sleeping together from the last movie? How great is it seeing Shatner fight himself in the prison break scene? Did Christopher Plummer's character ever read anyone other than Shakespeare? And we can all agree that the signatures at the end are great?

“Terrarium” While investigating a peculiar area of uncharted space—a region legendary for strange phenomena—the Enterprise finds it impossible to get proper reading from probes due to highly volatile gravimetric waves. Ortegas flies the shuttle Archimedes into the turmoil to gather data firsthand. But when a wormhole suddenly opens up and sends the shuttle tumbling into a moon orbiting a gas giant, Ortegas must fight to survive. She has to find shelter, food, and water, but there's one obstacle she wasn't counting on: the Gorn. With the clock ticking before the moon passes through the planet's thermosphere, the two enemies find common ground. When the Enterprise finally arrives to rescue them, it is revealed that the whole situation was just a test staged by the Metrons. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “Terrarium.” We discuss the connection to the Original Series classic "Arena," character development for Ortegas, Uhura's stint as a scientist, the Metrons, and more.

Ortegas quickly discovers that a female Gorn pilot is also stranded, but the Gorn saves and protects Ortegas from the moon's dangers. Initially wary due to her traumatic experiences with the Gorn, Ortegas befriends the pilot and discovers that they are not so dissimilar—the two work together to find a way off the moon. At the same time, the Enterprise must soon rendezvous with the Constellation,[c] so Uhura lies about some data to get Pike to take the ship through the wormhole in search of Ortegas. Ortegas and the Gorn ignite the moon's atmosphere, signaling the Enterprise, but La'An kills the Gorn, mistaking her for an enemy. A Metron appears to Ortegas, explaining that they had brought the two together to see if peace between humans and Gorn was possible. Because of La'An's violent reaction, the Metron erases Ortegas' memories of their meeting, planning to study the situation further in the future.[d] Back on the ship, Ortegas mourns her new friend.Trekcast: The Galaxy's Most Unpredictable Star Trek Podcast!Welcome to Trekcast, the galaxy's most unpredictable Star Trek podcast!

“Four-and-a-Half Vulcans” What's the best way to pass as a Vulcan? Become one! That's what Pike, Uhura, La'an, and Chapel do in order to save a pre-warp civilization without violating the Prime Directive. Doesn't make sense? Don't worry, it's all just a setup for a story that aims to shed light on what goes on in the Vulcan mind. After their one-minute mission is done, the foursome is unable to transform back into humans but finds that they like being Vulcan more. This is a very troubling development for the crew as they watch Nurse Chapel shun all relationships in favor of work, Pike fall in love with 42-minute rotating shifts for more efficient operations, Uhura brainwash her boyfriend, and La'an try to take over the ship and start an interstellar war. The only hope for returning things to normal? A Vulcan called Doug. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “Four-and-a-Half Vulcans.” We discuss the concept, the setup, the humor, and what each character's situation reveals about Vulcans and themselves.
