Things get gloriously weird as we dive into "Wedding Bell Blues," the second episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3. After a three-month time jump, the Enterprise is docked at Starbase One for the Federation's 100th anniversary, but Spock has something more personal on his mind: the return of Nurse Chapel. Unfortunately for him, she's not alone. Enter Chapel's date, Dr. Roger Korby, her old mentor, and the unfortunate spark for Spock's emotional tailspin. What begins as an awkward love triangle quickly warps into a full-blown rom-com fever dream. Spock wakes up engaged to Chapel, the crew is prepping for a wedding instead of a centennial celebration, and reality itself seems to be playing fast and loose with the facts. While some members of the crew are blissfully swept up in the festivities, others start to sense something is very, very off--especially a confused and suspicious Dr. Korby. We'll dig into the emotional core of the episode, including Ethan Peck's fantastic performance as a Vulcan barely holding himself together, and how Strange New Worlds continues to blend genres without losing its heart. Director Jordon Canning, who brought us last season's rom-com "Charades," once again balances comedy, sci-fi, and surprising depth in a story that explores how emotions shape our reality.

Captain Kirk takes control of the USS… Farragut! While he’s facing his first crucial command decisions in an emergency situation with the help of a few familiar faces, Pike and company are repelling a monstrous boarding party. (The monsters are, in hindsight, exactly who you should have expected.) Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Send us a textPeaches unloads on a wild week in defense news—DARPA drops the mic with the world's biggest real-time electronic warfare range, the U.S. throws pocket change at Panama's border, and NATO still cries poor while leaning on U.S. muscle. From AI-driven target tracking and new Air Force dorm “suites” that'll make Marines jealous, to Space Force finally cutting ties with Russian rocket engines, this episode swings between jaw-dropping tech and head-shaking policy moves. Oh, and we're apparently giving China our AI chips—because what could possibly go wrong? Strap in for sharp takes, a few laughs, and the kind of blunt commentary you won't hear from the Pentagon press office.

Send us a textPeaches kicks off this drop swinging at everything from the chaos in D.C. to the ridiculous idea that military academies ever needed race-based admissions. National Guard troops are back in the capital because apparently it's become Mad Max with monuments. Cyber interns get a salute for their terrifyingly cool hacking skills, a World War I badass gets long-overdue recognition, and Space Force is about to light off the Vulcan rocket like it's the Fourth of July. There's also some sharp-shooting at West Point, desert fun with the Marines, and a not-so-subtle reminder that your enemy doesn't give a damn about your DEI training—they just want you dead. Strap in.
Not all red shirts wear red! (But some do!) This episode has a lot of death, an alien mystery, some questionable archaeology, a reversal of cause and effect, and multi-dimensional layering. In other words: It’s Star Trek! Also, Jason passes on a wild theory about Batel’s new Gorn-chimera lifestyle. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

This week’s “Strange New Worlds” is an homage to 1960s Star Trek, 1970s murder mysteries, and all murderous holodeck stories throughout Trek history. Also, Paul Wesley gets to do his best Shatner. It’s called acting! Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
The Enterprise is scooting around the galaxy when they get a . . . wait for it . . . distress call! The call is only confirmed by the resident empath's big feelings. Seems a starship went down on the M-Class moon of Mab-Bu IV 172 years ago! But hey, wouldn't all those people be dead by now? That is unless they had some old-ass Vulcan on board, right? (DId I say, “Went down on Mab-Bu IV”? I did. Yes, I did.) Unfortunately, the crew of the Enterprise D is unable to beam down to the moon's surface because of electromagnetic whirlwinds or E.M.W.'s, which nobody calls them. So, it's shuttle time, and the small one at that –'cause of all the E.M.W.'s probably – they play havoc on those big shuttle craft. Riker, Data, and Troi to the rescue, but before they know it, they crash on the Mab-Bu-ian moon. O'Brien beams down, and they all get their asses zapped! (Say, Riker hasn't had a good ass-zaping in a long time!) When the away team gets back up top ship-side, it seems they aren't the away team they were before going away, well, everyone except Riker. Very quickly we learn--thank you, Ensign Ro--that Team Baddie has hijacked Troi, Data, and Miles, and these bastards are ruthlessly snatching hostages and taking over the ship! Will a possessed Miles O'Brien phaser his new born baby? Will Troi show her badass acting chops? Will Data pop Picard's head like a flipping Pez dispenser?

In this episode of Valley of Depth, we sit down with Xcimer Energy's cofounders, Conner Galloway and Alexander Valys, to unpack one of the boldest bets in fusion: resurrecting a Cold War-era laser technology to build the fastest, most scalable path to commercial fusion power.Xcimer has raised over $100 million to bring its inertial confinement fusion system to life, starting with LPK, a high-powered prototype laser built in just four months, and progressing toward Vulcan, a full-scale, ignition-class reactor designed for the grid. We also discuss:Why excimer lasers are making a comebackWhat Xcimer learned from building LPK in just four monthsThe Phoenix-to-Vulcan roadmap for commercial fusionLessons from NIF's ignition milestone and its limitsThe case for fusion as infrastructure, not just scienceHow Xcimer is positioning itself in a crowded fusion landscape…and much, more. • Chapters •00:00 – Intro01:24 – Payload Pro02:06 – Recent changes in fusion03:29 – Commercial fusion and perceptions on the tech05:18 – Founding story of Xcimer06:51 – Common approaches to fusion today08:48 – Was the National Ignition Facility (NIF) the catalyst to start Xcimer?12:22 – Convincing investors to invest $100m into Xcimer13:34 – What is NIF's goal right now and can it produce electricity?18:04 – Why hasn't the private sector solved the fusion problem?20:25 – Xcimer progress report23:07 – Xcimer's roadmap for the next bigger machine24:41 – Coming up with Athena25:33 – Addressing neutron damage29:54 – The biggest unknown for Xcimer32:29 – Who are Xcimer's first customers35:03 – Cost per megawatt per hour to be competitive37:23 – How much of Xcimer's supply chain is being verticalized38:48 – Vaporizing a missile with a laser41:27 – Other fusion companies Alex and Connor admire44:28 – What inspires a founder or engineer to pursue less proven fusion methods?47:28 – What drives Alex and Connor to keep on going?49:02 – First commercial Xcimer fusion plant • Show notes •Xcimer's website — https://xcimer.energy/Mo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislamPayload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspaceIgnition's socials — https://twitter.com/ignitionnuclear / https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/Tectonic's socials — https://twitter.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us •Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

Real Life Ben spent the week playing nurse, but at least it was a summer cold—infinitely easier than juggling tissues and PTO requests during the school year. The only upside to a sick kid when the sun's out? More cartoons, fewer emails. Hearing Ben wiping noses and handing out popsicles, Steven got nostalgic about Scrubs. Remember Scrubs? Wholesome chaos. Heartfelt weirdness. Probably due for a chaotic Gen Z reboot starring TikTok doctors and JD's ghost AI. Devon was out of town. No details, just gone. Like a Vulcan on shore leave or a cowboy riding off into a logical sunset. We assume he's fine. Or at least reading a very dense novel. Steven went full social butterfly with a jam-packed weekend featuring a wedding and a birthday party. Somehow in between the formal wear and paper plates, he managed to catch Fantastic Four: First Steps. And? He says it's the best Fantastic Four movie he's ever seen. Not necessarily the best Marvel movie, but undeniably its own thing: scientists-turned-superheroes faced with a moral conundrum, wrapped in bright tones and a vibe that says hope isn't dead, it's just been on vacation. Earth 828 (a sweet nod to Jack Kirby's birthday) plays host to a story that takes a deliberate break from the usual “everything is pain” comic fare. Also, there's now a universe where Matt Shakman didn't make Fantastic Four, but instead gifted us a cheerful, boldly optimistic fourth Kelvin Star Trek movie. It lives only in our dreams and this deeply bittersweet TrekMovie article. Sigh. Future or Now Ben, our resident Trekspert, has bucketload of Star Trek news from San Diego Comic-Con: Starfleet Academy got a first trailer, and introduced us to the U.S.S. Athena. George Takei and Tim Russ are teaming up in the Khan audio series, where we'll get to hear Sulu and Tuvok in action. (We assume Tim Russ will sigh at Takei at least once.) Strange New Worlds Season 4 teased a bold new puppet frontier? Yep. Puppets. And then there's the Gwarm. What is a Gwarm, you ask? It's a Star Wars thing, and before you know it, Ben and Steven are back in the Star Wars vs. Star Trek sandbox, flinging references like action figures. (We don't stop them. It's too entertaining.) Meanwhile, Steven was also reading science headlines between existential sighs. The latest? Allegro-FM just pushed material science forward by enabling simulations 1,000 times larger than previous ones. That's like going from Tinker Toys to a Dyson Sphere. Or from The Pedestrian to a full Black Mirror season. Link Book Club This week, we read The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury. It's eerie how much this story hits in 2025. A man simply walking at night in Los Angeles gets stopped by an automated police car because being outside is just too suspicious. It's based on Bradbury's real address, and it feels uncomfortably like reality. Mausoleum houses, ghostly TV glow, no sidewalks—just suburban stillness and surveillance. If All Summer in a Day is melancholy, this one's… mournful. Next week we're sticking with Bradbury and reading All Summer in a Day. Rain, Venus, longing, and memory. If The Pedestrian feels like now, All Summer feels like childhood—brief, beautiful, and barely remembered. You can read it here or watch this version that captures the heartbreak with just the right number of slow pans and sad violins. That's it for this week. Whether you're dodging summer colds, traveling through alternate Marvels, or wondering if that sidewalk outside is still walkable, we'll be here—talking Trek, reading Bradbury, and keeping the lights on. Let us know what you thought of Fantastic Four: First Steps. And if you've ever been detained by a futuristic car for taking a stroll, uh… blink twice?

This week we’re balancing Moss Zombies with Gorn Consumption as Pike and M’Benga take a “Shuttle to Kenfori!” It’s a character episode with some zombies in the background, and also one particularly grumpy Klingon. Jason looks up the Klingon word for “redshirts.” Also: Paramount finally gets bought, and there are new pictures from “Starfleet Academy!” Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
ULA is preparing for its next Vulcan launch in what will be the first official national security mission for the new rocket. A joint venture between Boeing & Lockheed Martin, ULA will conduct several launches for the government and then turn back to its commercial customer Amazon in the fall. ULA CEO joins Morgan Brennan to discuss the latest launch forecast for the company, Amazon Kuiper, and the need for national security in space.
“Wedding Bell Blues” Nurse Chapel wraps up her three-month fellowship with Dr. Roger Korby by returning to the Enterprise to celebrate Federation Day with a big glass of … awkward! It's a spirit the ship's Vulcan bartender can work with, especially since he turns out to be none other than galactic trickster Trelane. But he's not just a drink slinger, he's also a wedding planner—and an Andorian. At least that's how he appears to Spock and the rest of the crew as they prepare for a celebration of his and Chapel's love for one another. Korby, channeling Guinan à la “Yesterday's Enterprise,” realizes that the timeline has changed. And while he manages to snap Spock out of the delusion, they can't get anyone else on board, at least not until the last moment when Daddy Q shows up to scold junior. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “Wedding Bell Blues.” We discuss Chapel's character arc, contrast her and Spock's relationship with that of Pike and Batel, question the story's tone, and, of course, delve into the return of the lonely squire of Gothos.

Episode 1: Romulans How long have the Vulcans known what Romulans looked like? Who is lying, who is crazy, and who's actually stable in The Enterprise Incident? Why does the Romulan Commander choose to hold on to Spock while beaming out? What does Sybok need with a Romulan Lady? What did Nero and his henchmen do for 25 years? Join Ashlyn, Rhianna, and Girafe as we blast our way into the TOS Romulan episodes. This is the first episode of the Romulan series, where Ashlyn and Rhianna talk about the Romulan episodes in every Star Trek show, discussing every Star Trek series. SPOILER WARNING: TOS, SNW: A Quality of Mercy, Hegemony, Part II, and Discovery Season 4 Next time, we'll dash into the animated world and discuss the Romulan episodes in The Animated Series.

A nigh-omnipotent wedding planner threatens the Enterprise crew with a good time! We’re here to talk about the second new “Strange New Worlds” episode of the premiere week, in which Spock and his romantic rival must unite to find a way to bring back reality, or become dogs trying. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
In this bonus episode of The Alan Sanders Show Podcast, we dive into major revelations and critical updates shaping the nation. We start with DNI Tulsi Gabbard's release of hundreds of declassified documents, confirming the Russia collusion narrative was orchestrated in the Oval Office under President Barack Obama—a truth our audience has long suspected. Next, we analyze HHS Secretary RFK Jr.'s bold announcement that the U.S. will not join the latest World Health Organization (WHO) treaty, exploring its implications for national sovereignty. We also cover the ongoing efforts to locate and rescue children missing under the previous Biden administration, with Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) predicting criminal indictments for NGOs and individuals involved in minor trafficking. This sparks a deeper conversation about freedom, liberty, and protecting vulnerable populations. The episode wraps with our signature Vulcan Mind-Meld segment, blending insights from two shows into one thought-provoking discussion. Tune in for hard-hitting analysis and unfiltered perspectives on today's most pressing issues. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Lingthusiasm - A podcast that's enthusiastic about linguistics
We asked you if a burrito was a sandwich, and you said 'no'. We asked you if ravioli was a sandwich and you said 'heck no'. We asked you if an ice cream sandwich was a sandwich and things...started to get a little murky. This isn't just a sandwich problem: you can also have similar arguments about what counts as a cup, a bird, a fish, furniture, art, and more! So wait...does any word mean anything anymore? Have we just broken language?? It's okay, linguistics has a solution! In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about why deciding what's in and what's out of the definition of a word is so dang tricky, why people love to argue about it, and how prototype theory solves all the "is X a Y" arguments once and for all. Note that this episode originally aired as Bonus 9: Is X a sandwich? Solving the word-meaning argument once and for all. We've added an updated announcements section to the top and a few new things about prototypes and meaning to the end. We're excited to share one of our favourite bonus episodes from Patreon with a broader audience, while at the same time giving everyone who works on the show a bit of a break.

We talk about the Vulcan salute from Star Trek, the Wakanda Forever salute from Black Panther, and the three-finger Hunger Games salute, and how all three have crossed over with additional symbolism into the real world. We also talk about gestures that have crossed over in the other direction, from the real-world origins of the Vulcan salute in a Jewish blessing, the two-finger blessing in the Foundation tv series from classical Latin and Greek oratory via Christian traditions, as well as religious gesture in the Penric and Desdemona series, smiles and shrugs in A Memory Called Empire, and more.

Apologies for the delay in posting episodes! Holiday and travel got the best of us. But we're back, baby! ---- WHAT THE IF we could trade genes like playing cards? Scientists have discovered that fungi possess "Starship elements" - massive genetic cassettes that jump between species carrying cargo genes for superpowers like heavy metal resistance. These DNA chunks got their Star Trek names because researchers kept seeing Vulcan hand signs in their data when one fungus had the element and another didn't. From Kirk sequences that captain the whole operation to the possibility of stealing radiation resistance from a handshake, explore a world where your genome becomes as swappable as your wardrobe. Discover why OSHA might regulate genetic exchanges, how you could wake up having lost your Kardashian-level beauty overnight, and why shaking hands with Keith Richards could grant immortality. Just don't accidentally trade away your radiation-proofing during a one-night stand. --- Find out more about Gaby's science fiction short story! Here are the links for the anthology.

And now, the conclusion! “Strange New Worlds” returns with the resolution of the season 2-ending storyline involving the Gorn, including Chris Pike’s very bad day. We dive into the action after a discussion of the precarious position Paramount and Star Trek are in right now. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
The new space race is beginning; It's not just between nations, but between commercial giants, shadow governments, and emerging players staking claims to orbits that are becoming dangerously crowded. The world is entering an era where control of the orbits will define global power. What's fueling this revolution isn't just rocket science. It's economic scale, exotic propellants, and a surge in miniaturized, high-functioning satellites. But with this explosion comes risk: orbital debris fields, collisions that could cripple constellations, and the looming specter of space warfare. Join Tory Bruno, CEO of United Launch Alliance, the man behind one of the most ambitious launch companies, and me on this episode of The Aerospace Executive Podcast, Tory bring unparalleled insight into what's next in space - from transforming ULA away from use of Russian engines to pioneering modular rockets designed for both commercial and defense missions, he has done it all! We cover the radical shifts reshaping orbital real estate, why small launch companies are failing despite demand, and why directed energy weapons in space might be the future of global defense. You'll also learn: Why the true space cost revolution isn't in launch, but in satellite architecture The hard truth about the “300% drop in launch prices” myth How mini satellites are creating billion-dollar constellations and traffic jams in orbit The quiet arms race: Anti-satellite weapons, Kessler syndrome, and debris fields that could end entire constellations Why lasers may be the only real answer to hypersonic threats Why methane propulsion is suddenly viable and what finally cracked the code Why the biggest competitive edge isn't rockets, it's people Guest Bio Tory Bruno is the President and CEO of United Launch Alliance (ULA), the largest rocket launch company in the world. Since taking the helm in August 2014, he has led ULA through a transformative era, retiring legacy systems, developing the next-generation Vulcan rocket, and expanding the company's commercial and national security portfolio. Before ULA, Tory spent over three decades at Lockheed Martin, where he began his career as a propulsion engineer and steadily rose through the ranks to become a senior executive. He has deep expertise in advanced propulsion, hypersonics, missile defense, and launch systems, and is widely recognized as one of the aerospace industry's most accomplished and forward-thinking leaders.

AUDIO FROM THURSDAY NIGHT GEEKS Bill and Dan are boldly going where few fans dare to tread: straight into the heart of Star Trek controversy. Everyone has a hot take, but not all opinions are created equal—and tonight, they're putting theirs on display. From the final frontiers of franchise canon to the captains, crews, and creative choices that divide the fandom, no corner of the Trek universe is safe. Expect a lively and honest conversation that challenges long-held beliefs and re-examines the things we all thought were settled. The guys are pulling no punches as they each share five of their most unpopular Star Trek opinions—and believe us, some of them might raise a Vulcan eyebrow or two. Whether it's about storylines, characters, or what should (or shouldn't) count as "real Trek," these takes are bound to get people talking. Of course, it's all in good fun. Thursday Night Geeks is a celebration of everything Star Trek—disagreements and all. So pour a raktajino, strap in, and get ready to yell at your screen (or maybe nod in silent agreement). You might not agree with everything said... but you'll definitely have an opinion about it. Be sure to hang around after the end theme for a brand-new outake from Bill and Dan recorded after this episode livestreamed! ======================================= Music for Trek Geeks is provided by the world's greatest Star Trek band, FIVE YEAR MISSION! They're recording one song for each episode of the original Star Trek. Get all their albums at fiveyearmission.net!
Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This week, JJ Abrams' Star Trek. Orphaned following an encounter with a strange and hyper-advanced alien ship, James Tiberius Kirk drifts through life in search of purpose. Prompted to enroll in Starfleet Academy, Kirk finds himself drawn into an epic web of fate that crosses time and space, seemingly drawing him towards the most unlikely of companions, a half-Vulcan named Spock. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

I wonder if a Vulcan Hello is anything like an Irish Goodbye. Instead of leaving without telling anyone, would it be arriving? You know, for how many people there are that still have never heard of this series, it seems to fit. However, is having your arrival unknown mean that it is unwelcome? If a Star Trek series falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Regardless if it does or not, let's all still say hello to this new streaming era of the franchise as we watch this premiere episode of Star Trek: Discovery. Episode discussion starts at 18:37 This is episode 2/10 in our look at Modern Trek. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Salem Rogers, & Rachel Murtagh.

Grab your phials of glowing green goo and prepare to ham it up as we talk once more about Jeffrey Combs, the Philip Madoc of Star Trek (that's a Classic Doctor Who reference) and three episodes where his many characters make large roles. Unfortunately, Weyoun is only in a few scenes of Deep Space Nine's ‘Ties of Blood and Water' and both Miles and Charlie try really hard not to get personal as Kira has to look after a seriously ill surrogate family figure, fortunately Shran more than makes up for it in Enterprise's ‘Cease-Fire' as Archer is drafted into helping settle a planetary land dispute between Vulcans and Andorans and we make a little detour to ‘A Few Badgeys More' as AGIMUS, the evil computer and F***ing Peanut Hamper plan mischief… if you're one of those weirdos who only listen to hear Miles swear, this episode is for you! Come back in a year's time probably for J3ff, more than likely.EPISODES MENTIONED: TIES OF BLOOD AND WATER (14:26), CEASE-FIRE (45:33) A FEW BADGEYS MORE (1:11:27)TALKING POINTS INCLUDE: Blowing up Objectivists, what elements of British films make Miles homesick, The Phonecian Scheme, John Wickend which leads to a wider discussion on John Wick, the Death of Princess Diana, our first Jeff episode does not have enough Jeff, Kira has supplanted Odo as Miles' favourite DS9 character, how Kira and Ace from Doctor Who are very similar, a long way from the ‘Prat' version of Bashir, Miles finds out something horrifying about LL Cool J, Charlie retells his one TATU story and the boys clearly have Heatstroke, Shram/Archer shippers must exist, Andorian soccer mums, accents, Andorian Antennae acting, we don't need the Koala-joke in Lower Decks explained, Miles actually compliments ****ing Peanut Hamper, Boimler and Tendi hanging out together always seems weird.PEDANTS CORNER: Jeffrey Combs is Ratchet in Transformers Prime, not Transformers: Robots in Disguise
Well, folks, freight made his re-entry to the podcast this week,and it was nothing short of amazing!!!In this conversation, Vulcan and Freight explore the complexities of discussing difficult topics, such as politics, religion, and current events. They delve into the reasons why these subjects are hard to talk about, emphasizing the importance of understanding different perspectives and the role of media bias in shaping opinions. The discussion highlights the need for empathy, compassion, and humor in navigating challenging conversations, as well as the fear of offending others that often leads to conflict. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to engage in open dialogue and to be mindful of their responses in discussions.Sound Bites"We need to discuss without yelling.""What if I don't hear the music?""Everything you hear is opinion."

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.
