Dark Denim

“Proving Ground” 20th-anniversary reflections An old man once said, "It's dangerous to go alone!" That's something the crew of the Enterprise has learned to be true as they've pursued the Xindi weapon. Luckily, a helping hand is on the way. A blue one. It's been a long time since Archer last crossed paths with Shran, but when the Andorian Commander shows up in the Expanse, he's glad to see him. Even if the Andorian agenda may not really be to save the pink skins, the assist is still appreciated. The sabotage? Not so much. 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 “Proving Ground” as we discuss the reintroduction of Shran, Andorian–Human connections, the Xindi arc's real-world connections, and more. Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Welcome Back Andorians! (00:02:00) T'Pol's Influence on Shran (00:08:42) Setting Up the Future (00:11:15) Andorian–Human Connections (00:14:13) Plotting (00:24:38) Gregorian Calendar in Space (00:26:50) Archer and Shran (00:29:00) Final Thoughts and Ratings (00:31:42) Closing (00:35:52) Hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C.

Big Swings!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 When Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premiered as a spin-off of Star Trek: Discovery, many fans were over the moon with the return to episodic televisions with tie-ins to The Original Series. For a time, it felt as if Trek's golden age was back. But as the series evolved, the producers and writers began to see it as a playground for experimental storytelling within the Roddenberry framework. In this episode of The Ready Room, hosts C Bryan Jones and Larry Nemecek look back at Season 3 and ask how well the limited 10-episode canvas was used and how the writers' strike impacted the quality of the stories and continuity of the stories as we examine each episode one by one. Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Initial Thoughts (00:01:16) The Writers' Strike (00:10:42) There Are Ten Slots (00:16:08) Writing for a Wrap-up? (00:27:57) "Hegemony, Part 2" (00:31:27) "Wedding Bell Blues" (00:39:01) "Shuttle to Kenfori" (00:52:42) "A Space Adventure Hour" (00:57:58) "Through the Lens of Time" (01:10:19) "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" (01:23:11) "What Is Starfleet?" (01:31:39) "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans" (01:36:45) "Terrarium" (01:48:06) "New Life and New Civilizations" (01:54:46) Final Thoughts (02:06:50) Closing (02:19:21) Hosts C Bryan Jones and Larry Nemecek Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer)

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.

Nowhere Man

“Cathexis” 30th-anniversary reflections While Captain Janeway shacks up in ancient England, Chakotay has an out-of-body experience. There's been an attack on the shuttle he was riding around in with Tuvok, and while the Vulcan suffered only a concussion, all of Chakotay's bio-neural energy has been drained and he has fallen into a coma. The Doctor says he can keep him alive, but nothing more, since his brain is dead. That's when B'Elanna turns to a medicine wheel to save her old friend. In this episode of To The Journey, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Voyager, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “Cathexis,” the writers' attempt to add depth to Chakotay's Native American heritage, the twist, and, of course, that holonovel.

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."

Not All Things Can Be True

“Chosen Realm” 20th-anniversary reflections The Enterprise crew already knows that there is something unusual about the spheres scattered around the Delphic Expanse, but the extent to which some locals hold them sacred comes into focus when they bring aboard of a group of aliens who find scientific examination of the globes to be paramount to sacrilege.

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.
