In 1977, Star Trek returned to television. The Enterprise was refitted. Starfleet felt bigger and more formal. Familiar faces returned alongside new ones, and the galaxy felt slightly less romantic and a little more complicated. Hosted by Greg Westlake, The Phase 2 Rewatch treats Star Trek Phase II as the television series it was meant to be. Episode by episode, the show revisits the stories, characters, and production choices of Phase II as it aired in the late seventies, Each episode begins with a detailed story summary, followed by informed, opinionated commentary from the perspective of a lifelong TOS. fan. Along the way, the podcast explores character arcs, bridge dynamics, behind-the-scenes television realities, and how Phase II tried to move Star Trek forward while still carrying its past. This is not a pitch, a thought experiment, or a nostalgia tour. It’s a rewatch.
