I Think I'm a Clone Now

"Similitude" 20th-anniversary reflections Sexy time with T'Pol turns into a brainstorming session for Trip Tucker, but the neuropressure-induced euphoria won't last long. When he attempts to pull off his plan to improve engine performance, he is critically injured. Without Trip, the Enterprise has little chance of successfully completing its mission, so Doctor Phlox proposes a bold resurrection plan: growing a symbiont to harvest its tissue. As the clone rapidly matures from silent embryo to Southern drawl, it experiences a rapid ride through Trip's life, putting Archer, T'Pol, and others in a difficult position. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 3 with "Similitude" as we discuss the importance of Trip to the mission, the ethics of Archer's decision, Sim's sacrifice, and, of course, compare and contrast with Voyager's "Tuvix."

The Orb 2: A Character to Be Reckoned With

Favorite Characters, Favorite Arcs. No Star Trek series came close to the depth of character development that Deep Space Nine brought us over the course of seven seasons. Not only did the writers flesh out the main cast, they also developed more than 30 recurring characters who felt as much a part of the story as Sisko and his crew. In this episode of The Orb, hosts Christopher Jones and Matthew Rushing take a closer look at the cast of DS9, examine their favorite characters, and consider who grew the most from "Emissary" to "What You Leave Behind."

The Orb 7: How Dax Got Its Groove Back

Jadzia Dax. In order to know who you are, it's important to know who you've been. That's the advice given by one of DS9's youngest crew members—and also its oldest—Jadzia Dax. Most of us find coming to terms with one life task enough; but what would it be like to juggle eight lives? In this episode of The Orb, hosts Christopher Jones and Matthew Rushing examine Jadzia the young woman, Dax the symbiont, the union of the two into a joined Trill, and how this unique person came to terms with her past and influenced those around her in a way that helped each of them grow.

Secret Latinum Man

"Rules of Acquisition" 30th-anniversary reflections Word is there's profit o' plenty in the Gamma Quadrant, and the Grand Nagus wants a piece of it. And who better to send as chief negotiator than Quark? But never forget the 48th Rule of Acquisition: "The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife." Quark's new waiter, Pel, thinks Zek is setting him up to take the blame if a deal for the totally reasonable ask of 100,000 vats of tulaberry wine falls through. Thankfully for Quark, he won't be alone at the table, because Pel turns out to be more than a waiter. He's a skilled entrepreneur. And a she. Despite their combined negotiating prowess, Quark and Pel return without the wine. But they aren't entirely empty-handed. They have the memory of an awkward kiss and information about some group called The Dominion. In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss "Rules of Acquisition,"what the story says about identity, how it sets up The Dominion, and how DS9 makes the Ferengi matter.

To the Journey 84: Even Nerds Can Be Fit

Voyager as the "Soundtrack to Your Life." Star Trek fans are well known for their loyalty to the franchise, and their devotion is a part of why the shows still have life today. Many fans started watching some incarnation of Trek at a young age and will remain fans for life. Tristan and Char are no different, and in this episode of To The Journey they talk about how their teenage years were influenced by Voyager. We discuss some of our favorite memories of how Voyager came to be intertwined with their life experiences (and vice-versa) and became a part of the "soundtrack to their lives." Listen on and hear about how "Threshold" influenced Char's life (no, really), find out which episode resonates with Tristan as the point when he knew he was locked in as a Trek fan, and much more.

To The Journey 92: BA XO

Most Memorable One-Liners. One thing all Star Trek fans can agree on is that each show has its fair share of brilliant one-liners. Whether it's profound words coming from Spock or a snarky retort from The Doctor, every series has a variety of notable quotes. In this episode of To The Journey, Char and Tristan divulge just a few of the Voyager one-liners they consider the most enduring. In the interest of keeping the podcast at its usual length, they stopped at five apiece, but could have easily traded examples of the witty remarks all day.

To The Journey 90: Heartbreaking

Voyager's Saddest Moments. Char and Tristan enjoy talking the lighter side of Voyager; the show certainly had its fair share of witty and comedic moments. But as we know, along with the laughs, heartbreaking occasions are never too far behind. In this episode of To The Journey, Char and Tristan discuss the segments on Voyager that were among the most heart-wrenching in the series. Listen on and find out which scenes made their hearts ache, which character moments gave them an overwhelming rush of feels, and which episodes in general they thought would make even a Vulcan cry.

To The Journey 89: Amnesia Love Story

Unforgettable Rewrite. Chakotay-centric episodes rarely make fans' lists of favorites. Whether it's the writing, story, or the performance, they just don't stand out. For Char and Tristan, the ill-designated "Unforgettable" from Season Four tends to be just the opposite of what the title implies. In this episode of To The Journey, Char and Tristan share their thoughts on how they would make "Unforgettable" a bit more indelible. Listen on and find out what they liked, what they didn't, and how they would bolster this episode so that it would live up to its title. Send us your feedback!

To The Journey 86: Slowly Adding the Grit

Voyager in Today's TV Environment. When Voyager premiered in 1995, it launched with the fanfare of the much-hyped United Paramount Network. Almost 20 years later, UPN is now defunct and the landscape of television production has changed drastically. Major networks must not only compete with cable, but also with streaming services, such as Netflix, that have added a new dimension of how, when, and which shows are available to the masses. In this episode of To The Journey, Char and Tristan discuss how Voyager might look and feel had it never aired in 1995 and was being produced for a 2015 release instead. They ponder the differences between how a major broadcasting company might produce the show compared to a cable network like AMC. They also imagine how fans would rabidly binge-watch a new Trek show on Netflix and how this would benefit the Star Trek community at large. Listen and find out if Char and Tristan think that the success of Cosmos would help a Star Trek series return to network TV, or if Voyager would have been in better company in the sexy and violent realms of HBO and Cinemax.
