And after a one week hiatus. we're back - Happy New Year to all our Deep Space Pride listeners! Mike and Johnson do double duty this week, since we have some catching up to do. First up is "Stormy Weather," which seems to be a melting pot of recycled Star Trek tropes - Jonathan Frakes did his best? We then move onto the mid-season finale (why?) of Discovery Season 4 - at least "... But To Connect"...

The SyFy Sistas sit down with Dr. Crystal Fleming, a critical race sociologist, author of three books and an internationally recognized expert on racism and antiracism. Her work empowers people of all backgrounds to become change agents and dismantle white supremacy. Our conversation ranges from Black Respectability politics to the myth of Utopia in the Star Trek universe, to our deep love of Deep...

The Nacelle Company develops, produces, and distributes feature and documentary films as well as TV Shows. They are behind many of the great comedy specials out there and wonderful documentaries such as: "The Toys That Made...

Who would have believed that a nonchalant fangirl post on the SyFy Sistas Muthaship Facebook group could lead to an actual squeal before letting the Fabulous One into the zoom room. The best Anniversary present ever! Dr. Michelle Thaller - American Astronomer and research scientist for NASA Assistant Director for Science Communication at NASA’s Goodard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Dr. Tara Bra...

And we're finally back to talking about the force of nature that is the gravitational anomaly... only to learn that it's artificial DUM DUM DUM. Shocker. Mike and Johnson deliberate the facts and figures of "The Examples," which has us caring less about the actual examples and more about Culber and his C-level storyline. In other news - Michael Burnham and Book have a lot of gut wrenching to do ov...

This week, Dan, Bill, Sara, and Kasey take on Star Trek Discovery's "The Examples".  During an rescue mission on an old Emerald Chain settlement, Burnham and Book work to save a group of prisoners who were left behind during the evacuation and face certain death from the DMA.  Meanwhile on the Discovery, Federation scientist and all around know it all Ruon Tarka comes aboard and works with Stamets...

Okay so this is the episode where both Mike and Johnson can BOTH agree that at the very least, Michael Burnham is written well, and less aggravating than usual - though that doesn't stop Johnson from having some strong points of feedback. That being said, we loved the episode "All is Possible" as a whole, where we get some awesome character moments. And who else is on this Saru and T'Rina ship!?!?...

Star Trek: Enterprise paved a lot of ground in its first season, creating characters and a history of Starfleet. However, it also dared to bring a regular cast member from another Star Trek series on board as a guest star, playing a character completely unrelated. We all know that the amazing René Auberjonois played Constable Odo for seven seasons on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but many people for...

Happy Holidays from Sara and Haley! We are back to breakdown the madness that is the TNG episode, Ship in a Bottle. It's got holodecks, Barclay, Sherlock Holmes?! You bet it does. Haley and Sara also talk their usual trash talk about life, food....and laugh all the way through it. We hope you enjoy! Cheers!

This week, the whole gang is back for the first time this season as Dan, Bill, Sara, and Kasey take on Star Trek Discovery's "All Is Possible".  After an enlightening conversation with the mysterious Dr. Kovich about the reformed Starfleet Academy, Tilly takes command of a group of new cadets and Adira on an away mission  that goes horribly wrong.  With time running out she must find a way to make...

This is one of those episodes where Mike and Johnson end up talking WAY too much and then it's like "OH MY [insert George Takei GIF] would you look at the time!?" This week, we celebrate (briefly) Star Trek VI's 30th anniversary, before getting into the Discovery episode "Choose to Live." And oh look surprise surprise - there's a heated debate about the character of Michael Burnham. SHOCKING. But...

In a podcast exclusive, Mike and Emilie have the chance this week to have a conversation with Dan & Kevin Hageman, the creators of Star Trek: Prodigy! The conversation includes how they began their writing careers, what it takes to create an animated series from scratch and what it feels like to have their names mentioned alongside Gene Roddenberry. We are overjoyed that Dan and Kevin chose to spe...

This week, Bill, Sara, and Kasey take on Star Trek Discovery's "Choose To Live".  It hasn't been all that long since the Burn, and well even when the Federation is handing out dilithium, odds are someone will show up and try to take it without asking. That happens this week, and someone pays for that...with their life! All kind of things are happening in this week's episode "Choose To Live," from...

Discovery brings us a new episode where we see a LOT of sidebar conversations happening, but we love all of them! Between Culber-Tilly (twice!), Adira-Tilly, Book-Michael, Book-Stamets, Adira-Gray, Saru-Tilly, there is a LOT of action. And we are so glad that Saru is back!! Other than this week's episode, we also chat about some off topic - including Cowboy Bebop, the Great British Bakeoff, Doctor...

This week, Mike and Emilie are thrilled to have Nami Melumad, the composer of Star Trek: Prodigy, for a special bonus episode. During the conversation, we discuss her becoming the first female composer of a Star Trek series and what it means to have her name alongside legends like Goldsmith. We also chat about her being a Star Trek fan and why Prodigy has a special connection for her fandom. She t...

(This episode has been tagged as explicit for adult language.) You'd think that after 55 years, we'd know just about everything about the making of Star Trek, right? Guess again! This week, we're joined by Brian Volk-Weiss--producer and director of a brand new docu-series airing on the History Channel, "The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek." We'll discuss getting this 10 episode series made and...

This week, Dan, Sara and Kasey talk all about Star Trek Discovery's Season 4 emotional second episode "Anomaly " .  Book is hurting.  Bad.  Like a lot!  His planet is gone and he has cut himself off from everyone, even Burnham.  But he quickly volunteers for a dangerous mission to gather info on the anomaly.  He will need help, so Stamets joins him on the away mission - sort of. Plus, Saru returns...

So much Star Trek to discuss! First, we celebrate the 25-year anniversary of Star Trek: First Contact, arguably the best TNG movie ever! Where were we? What were we doing? And how have we grown since then?? We then move onto discussing TWO Star Trek episodes - Prodigy's "Terror Firma" and Discovery's "Kobayashi Maru." We loved the "mid" mid-season (?) finale of Prodigy, which has Dal finally doing...

For our final breakdown episode before the hiatus, Mike and Emilie are joined by Jenn Tifft from Trek Core, to discuss "Terror Firma." The crew faces their toughest challenge yet, find the U.S.S. Protostar and get off the planet before the planet strands them there. A 10 kilometer walk that keeps changing direction is tough enough without a crew member with a broken leg who has given your biggest...

It was late on a Thursday night and the Sistas were a little punchy. But never fear they perked up just enough to give you their opinions on Star Trek Discovery's latest episode "Kobayashi Maru". Although we were a bit distracted by the Grace Jones - like costume changes. This is the Season 1 finale of the SyFy Sistas Podcasts. We will return on our First Year Anniversary (December 24th) with Epis...

This week, Dan, Sara and Kasey kick off the newest season of Discovering Trek: Discovery and talk all about Star Trek Discovery's Season 4 premier " Kobayashi Maru" .  Five months after solving The Burn, Captain Burnham is working hard to welcome planets back into the Federation.  As the Discovery welcomes aboard the new Federation President and heads off to assist a Space Station in need, Book he...

Note from the podcasts hosts: Unfortunately, the audio this week was a bit wonky. We appreciate your understanding and continued support! And we are already nearing the end of Prodigy Season 1!...Kind of. Mike and Johnson talk about the latest episode of the new series, which will be the second-to-last one before we take a two month break. Who is making these decisions!? Anyway, this week we ponde...

Well helloooooo lovely listeners. Haley and Sara are back already!! It's our 30th episode! Can you believe it? We just couldn't wait any longer to celebrate. Today we breakdown that Season 2 treat, Q WHO?!?! That's right! The Borg baby, the Borg, they're mean, they're clean, they shop at L.L. Bean. We talk Borg, Q, muscles in wine sauce, Law & Order, Trek gossip and so much more! And for you Patre...

In our 7th supplemental episode of our series: "The Collector's Corner," we are joined by Chuck Costas, VP of Business Development and Operations at Prop Store. Prop Store, which began in 1998 is one of the largest online auction houses in the world with locations in Los Angeles and London.

This week, Mike and Emilie are joined by Nathan Sherman and his uncle, TGPN associate producer, Patrick Escudero to talk about "Dreamcatcher." The young crew of the U.S.S. Protostar go on their first away mission since taking control of the ship... but it isn't the best of experiences. Plants that can read their thoughts attempt to keep them all on the planet by seducing them with the things they...
