Star Trek Stories

And so we come to the end of our first batch episodes from Phase II. We have given our Star Trek initiate a taste of the non-TNG shows, and now it's finally time for them to rank them all from least to most interested to continue. What will the results be? Tune in to find out!! Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Ellen Lewis, & Salem Rogers. Email us at storiedstartrek@gmail.com Visit our Discord Server at...

It's time for Children of the Corn... In Space !!! Nah, just kidding. It's just basic ole' Star Trek. And basic is right, because we like to call this series the "the blender Star Trek show," the one where if you mix up all the other ones, you get this. But does that make it too bland? Too safe? Too mediocre? Or this is actually the best show, the one with all of the franchise's greatest elements?...

This is the series that would see the Star Trek franchise ascend to the heavens... or at least it would eventually. In the early days of this towering new project, the studio execs confounded the languages of the creators, and there was much confusion as to what the series was supposed to be. But even in those unsure times, was there was yet a glimmer of hope that the creative heights would still...

You might say we are envoys of Star Trek on this podcast, spreading its good tidings of a better tomorrow. But there are some who mock the ways of Star Trek, slandering its good name with silliness and nonsense. We do not hear the blasphemers of canon and purity here, and shun their anti-Trek literature. Resist the temptation of a good, silly time by avoiding this fun episode of Star Trek: Lower D...

The Original Series may have met an untimely demise, but Star Trek would survive to see another day. However, that day turned out to be the day the cartoon version premiered. Sure it survived, but for what? A silly Saturday morning kids show? Is that truly worth living for? But before we decide that the franchise was better off dead, let's consider this still-beating episode of Star Trek: The Anim...

Upon meeting a fellow Star Trek fan, there is perhaps no better icebreaker than asking, "What's your favorite series?" Usually people will answer with The Next Generation , or maybe The Original Series or Deep Space Nine, and all will be well. However, there is always a risk that things will get awkward if someone answers... Enterprise . But maybe we're being unfair-- maybe the little prequel seri...

You better believe that I would absolutely be starstruck if I got to meet a legendary figure like Captain Janeway. However, this is Star Trek... which means that the title can literally mean being struck by a star. Never meet your heroes, I guess? Oh well, let's take the risk and fly directly into this shining episode of Star Trek: Prodigy . Episode discussion starts at 12:51. This is episode 4/9...

You know, this would be a great title for a New Year's Day episode. That said, with this episode of our show coming out in March, it would probably be more accurate to title it "Forgotten Resolutions." And speaking of not committing to what you set out to do, today we're watching the series that embodies that more than any other. So please be sure to not expect any resolutions in today's teasing e...

Is it a dance from the 1920's? A British rock band from the 1960's? Believe it or not, it's the official 2260's term for the classic imaginary gambit of "whatever you do bounces off of me and hurts you." Esoteric, I know, but now you'll be ready for 23rd Century Jeopardy. If you're interested in learning more about the Corbomite Maneuver, please check out this very early episode of Star Trek: The...

Back in my day, we didn't listen to podcasts or watch YouTubes. We went outside, touched grass, and yelled at clouds. Nowadays, all young people want to do is watch MTV and do the jitterbug--pure brain rot, I tell ya. Even Warp 5 isn't fast enough anymore, no, only Warp 9.99999 will do. Oh well... nothing left to do now but grab a piece of avocado toast, prepare for imminent societal collapse, and...

Fans of Star Trek Stories... we have returned. But what we have returned to? The show may be back, but we are no longer charting the history of the Star Trek franchise, for Phase II of the podcast is now upon us. What exactly does that mean, you ask? Well, if you want to know, you'll just have to check out our teaser for part one of this new phase... make it so. Hosted by Jaron Hatch & Ellen L...

Well, dear listeners, we have come to the conclusion of our 100 episode list, Venturing Through The Universe . And while all good things must indeed come to an end, we can still celebrate the time we had together thanks to the magic of a good old fashioned holiday special. We'll laugh... we'll reminisce... and most importantly, we'll debate the finer points of Star Trek. Alas, it's also true that...

Believe it or not, dear listeners, we have finally made it to the modern day. Star Trek '09, Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds-- even Short Treks --they're all in the rearview mirror now. But how successful was our pilot season? Which shows will be picked up by our audiences? Which will leave a lasting legacy? Only time will tell. In the meantime, let's examine how this c...

Alright, y'all, we've been doing this for 100 episodes, how can there be anything strange or new left? What's that, you say? You're saying there are almost 900 more episodes to go?? Goodness me, how on Earth are we supposed to continue on with this trek through the stars? Will it go on forever? Or is it time to finally pull into space dock and give it a rest? These questions, and more, will probab...

I sometimes feels like this is the Star Trek show that ended up in the lost and found. It's a shame too, it's such a little gem of a series. It just never found the right home. What about you? Do you have any room in your home for this lost little Star Trek show? You may find that it is a little bundle of joy to brighten your life. The only way to know is to open up your heart to this premiere epi...

This is more like our 98th contact, but who's counting? Man, if second contact is supposed to be the unglamorous Star Trek assignment, what does that make our podcast? The lowest of the low? I mean, we are a third-rate podcast in a third-rate podcast genre, so that tracks. I mean what? No, we're awesome, whatever, shut up, you don't know me. Why don't you make yourself useful and help us watch thi...

Despite what the title might have you believe, this is not the beginning of our coverage of this series. Having watched the first three episodes of this show, it would be more appropriate to call this, "The Beginning is the End." And not a moment too soon, as we were all starting to fall asleep trying to get through them. Unless there is something in this last one that will finally wake this show...

Please don't tell me we're going to need a map and a legend to make sense of this show. We're only two episodes into this series and we already need a guide to figure it out? This is Star Trek we're talking about, not The Silmarillion . Maybe this new, fancy-fangled Trek is just that complex... or convoluted. Oh well, let's see if we can find our way with this plot-building episode of Star Trek: P...

I feel like the only time I ever hear the word "remembrance" is in the context of " in remembrance." That doesn't bode well for a series that is supposed to be revitalizing a classic character. Is it possible that this show is dead on arrival? We'll just have to do post mortem after we watch this premiere episode of Star Trek: Picard . Episode discussion starts at 18:21. This is episode 5/10 in ou...

Would you believe that there is a cover of a David Bowie song in this... and it ISN'T "Life on Mars?" I mean what else is there to say? I guess we can see if there is anything else to dissect in this tiny little episode of Star Trek: Short Treks . Episode discussion starts at 3:34. This is episode 4/10 in our look at Modern Trek. Hosted by Jaron Hatch. Email us at storiedstartrek@gmail.com Visit o...

Hmm, I wonder what this episode could be about. Might there be a battle? Some binary stars? It's hard to say. This era of Star Trek is so subversive at times, this might end up being about be a negotiation at a single star. I guess we'll have to check our expectations and watch this prologue concluding episode of Star Trek: Discovery . Episode discussion starts at 17:06. This is episode 3/10 in ou...

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...

I know many of you out there have been clamoring for this, but I've been holding out on covering it, since watching Star Trek on a Star Trek podcast is a bit obvious. However, after being worn down by all of you, I have finally decided to give in and watch Star Trek on our show... you bunch of rubes. But will Star Trek live up to its lofty legacy? Will it make for a good episode on our Star Trek p...

Oh boy, we're back everyone. Much like the franchise itself, we went on bit of a hiatus after Star Trek: Enterprise, but fret not! The revival is here... for better or worse. But what does this new era mean for our podcast? Will we continue on, business as usual? Or will we change it up to bring on new audiences? The only way to find out is to tune in for the final episode selection of our 100 epi...
