Discussing Trek

In this weeks episode, we talk about the first story of Star Trek Voyager, “Caretaker”. We chat about our first impressions of our beloved Voyager crew, and also give our thoughts on the events that led to the long journey home. In addition, we also talk a bit about the news of Alex Kurtzman’s five-year deal and spin-offs galore.

In this weeks episode, we talk about the first episode of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, "Emissary". We debate the vast change in tone of this iteration of the series, as well as giving our thoughts on this new adventure aboard a previously-Cardassian occupied space station.

We continue our look into Star Trek pilots and series openers, as we move into the TNG-era! Join us as we discuss a bit of news before diving into the show that picked up the mantle of “The Original Series” — Star Trek The Next Generation.

This episode is a love letter to the first captain of the Enterprise, Captain Christopher Pike! Join in as we cover a brief bit of casting news — with feedback from friend of the show Matthew Turnage, then our friend and playwright, Lee Shackleford, talks about his feeling on what Captain Pike has meant to him and so many others.

While aired as the third episode of the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series, “Where No Man Has Gone Before” — the second of two pilots — manages to right the ship. Not only did it get the series green-lit, but it also started a phenomenon. Join us as we review “Where No Man Has Gone Before”.

In this episode, we take on the pilot that *ahem* almost started it all. Though a second pilot was ordered, this is where it all started. Join us as we drive into “The Cage”.
