It's our first-ever Supplemental Episode and we examine the first full-length trailer for Star Trek Beyond! We'll share our thoughts on the trailer and analyze some of the scenes, discuss our hopes for the film, and decide whether or not we think Beyond is starting to look like a Star Trek movie--especially after the first trailer didn't receive a warm reception from some fans.  

They were the first adversary introduced in Star Trek and probably the alien race that's changed the most! We mean the Klingons , of course! From their beginnings in TOS' "Errand of Mercy," they have changed so much--not only in appearance, but also in their society and lore. We'll break down some of the early history, talk about the changes, and even some of our favorite Klingons of all time! Plu...

Ever since the reboot of Star Trek took place in 2009, there have been polarizing opinions on the so called "JJ-verse" This week, Dan and Bill tackle this controversial topic and give their insights into what they like and what they don't like about this alternate timeline.

This week, we take a look at the first season of Star Trek: Voyager! It's no secret that Bill hasn't been the biggest fan of Voyager, and he's even attempted his own "Voyager Challenge" to finally get through the series.

This week on Trek Geeks, we take a look at what could possibly be the greatest adversary the Federation has ever faced--The Dominion! More menacing than the Borg.

Note : On Saturday, 4/23/16, this week's episode was made available at 11:00AM EDT. Shortly after the release, we pulled the episode due to additional information we received that not ALL fan film productions had received calls from CBS. We felt that as a result of this information we did not want the post to be misleading, and so a rewrite of the podcast post information was needed. There is no c...

It isn't always rainbows and unicorns and eternal happiness when it comes to good Trek stories and today's discussion focuses...

We will mix it up a bit by talking about things that we love as well as things that we hate about Kirk's crew. First we w...
