Strange New Worlds has concluded its first season. Today we will share our feelings and thoughts about the characters, plots, tropes and meta-text to contextualize and review the season.

Before seeking out new life and civilizations, every ship must have her maiden voyage.  This is ours.  Perhaps it would put the crew at ease to revisit the maiden voyages, or pilots, of iconic Star Trek crews.

Buckle up for the start of something beautiful. Meet our crew as we introduce you to the Acting Captain Podcast. We have Stephanie, Rae, Kara, Louis, Lily, and Jake. They will deep dive into all things Trek. Toss in some humor, insightful opinions, and the general smoke show that this is. Welcome Aboard!
