TrekRanks Episode 182: Abstract Fire
"Fire!" As in "Abstract Fire," which sees TrekRanks return to one of our most popular recurring topics. This week it's a discussion of one of the original "elements" – fire, which, of course, can mean a lot of different things in the Star Trek universe. This is a fun one for host Jim Moorhouse and guests Bill Mann and Craig Main to get deep into the lore of Star Trek through a lens one wouldn't expect. Nothing is too abstract for TrekRanks!

TrekRanks Episode 181: Top 5 Recurring Actors
We celebrate the many great guest actors that have helped make Star Trek what it has been for the past 60 years by celebrating the "Top 5 Recurring Actors." It's a huge, massive topic and we cover a lot of ground in this one with host Jim Moorhouse and guests Daniel Martin and Peter Hong. From unknown gems to recognizable names, these incredible performers give life to the words on the page and have been integral to the success of Trek through their craft. This is a fun topic getting into the production side of things (and is a nice companion piece to Episode 131 highlighting the "Top 5 One-Off Guest Stars").

TrekRanks Episode 180: Top 5 Final Adventures
In celebration of the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery, we are diving deep into the "Top 5 Final Adventures" on this week's TrekRanks. A "final adventure" in Star Trek can be a lot of things. It can be super big and broad, or really small and focused. It can be a series, a season, a character, a ship, a story arc – almost anything can include a final adventure, so we have a lot of ground to cover this week with our expert panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Charlynn Schmiedt and Thad Hait. This one is guaranteed to be an adventure.

Customer Reviews
Appalling behaviour from the hosts.
One host publicly wished a major Star Trek actor dead. Refused to apologise, and doubled down when called out. A second host defended this behaviour publicly.
Appalling.
Essential Trek
The Tricorder Transmissions is an excellent show looking at the original series of Star Trek and it's host Craig and Jeff give an honest review and associated commentary on the episodes. Yes the show has a love for classic Trek but are not afriad to shine a light on the short falls in production, stories and acting even when they were par for the course back in the late 60's. They show also offers extended supplemental episodes with guests who then delve even deeper into some of the more important episodes of Trek.
