350 - Wrapity-uppity

Lower Decks Season 5 Catchup The final season of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" began this month - a bittersweet moment for the animated series. The trio look at the first four episodes - looking at what made them laugh and what portents may have been dropped about how this show will end. They focus on each character, their remaining storylines, and whether the remaining episodes will be more in the spirit of "The Next Generation" or "Deep Space Nine." It's so hard to say goodbye - but join them as they enjoy "Lower Decks" final episodes.

349 - Star Wars Andor

Mirror Universe - Star Wars: Andor Overview The trio enter the Mirror Universe to become a dedicated Star Wars group - looking back at the first season of "Andor." With season two of Andor expected in 2025, three years after the first, the trio looks back at this revivial of Star Wars on TV. Disney+ brought Star Wars to streaming with "The Mandalorian". It was then followed up with "The Book of Boba Fett" and "Obi-Wan Kenobi". Some fans felt that there was still something missing - and then came "Andor" in 2022, a perhaps unexpected prequel series to the film "Rogue One." This 12-episode series centered on Cassian Andor and his reluctant entry into the Rebellion. The trio look at the stories, characters, and structure of this series that earned critical acclaim. Does "Andor" live up to all the hype? How is it different from both the series that came before and after? What were the most memorable parts? Join us in this ... Star Wars? ... discussion.

348 - Prodigy Season Two Recap

Star Trek: Prodigy Season Two Overview The kids are back! "Prodigy" has been on a wild road - there was a substantial break between the first and second halves of the first season, then it was unexpectedly cancelled and then dropped from Paramount+, and then there was a quest to find someone to host a second season (which had already mostly been completed). But Netflix finally took on this young audience-targeted Trek animated series in 2024 and premiered the second season (after an errant French slip-up). What do we think? The trio look at how the kids are doing, from new storylines, returning Voyager-era characters, new enemies, and how a bigger number of episodes (compared to other 21st Century shows) allows for different storytelling. From the Voyager-A to the temporal headaches of a returning USS Prodigy, from two-parters to a shocking way to end the season (series??) ... and then there's Wesley Crusher! There's a lot to cover and more to hope about the future of this series.

347 - Trek 3.0

If we were in charge of Star Trek... It's not the new year yet, but the trio are ready to look to the future. With the sale of Paramount still not quite official until 2025, and the renewal of some series, the cancellation of others, and the development of even others - it's time for a brief thought experiment. What if we ran Star Trek? As the helm of the franchise has gone from Gene Roddenberry to Rick Berman and now to Alex Kurtzman, it's now our turn. Do we keep current projects going or start from scratch? What platform will the future of Star Trek be carried on? Should we concentrate on movies or TV series? What new ideas will keep the franchise going for the next generation? Join us as we sit in the big chairs and imagine our own version of Star Trek's future.

346 - Ten Episode Voyager Season Four

Whittling Down Season Four (VOY) to 10 episodes The trio continues their series of chopping down the longer 1990s seasons of Star Trek into the 2020s average ten-episode limit. This time "the victim" is season four of "Star Trek: Voyager," also known as "when Seven of Nine joined the show." The season begins with battling Species 8472 with the Borg in "Scorpion, Part II" and ends with "Hope and Fear," when the surprising (and suspicious) new starship Dauntless appears to take them home. These episodes also feature the Paris/Torres romance, the introduction of the Hirogen, and begins Seven's journey into humanity. Will your favorite episode make the cut? Will two-parters be split up? And how many episodes does "The Killing Game" count as??? Join us as we whittle down season four of Voyager!

345 - NX-01.1_Final_usethisone

Change in Star Trek Shows It is not a suprise that many shows in the Trek franchise evolve in style and tone from their very first episode. But what about during their entire span - which series changes the most during its run? The trio discuss every show in the franchise from TOS to Lower Decks, determining which show changed the most over time. Is it TNG with its introduction of new uniforms and Rikers' beard? Is it DS9 with Worf and the Defiant? What about Enterprise with its pre- and post-Xindi War stories? How different are the three season of Picard? What about time jumping Discovery? Join us as we discuss what changes and what stays the same in the Trek franchise.

I have been listening to Philip, Darren, and Daniel for a few years on Trek FM and have literally been saving Earl Grey because it’s one of my favorite Podcasts. For Star Trek, that and the Orb were my go to Podcasts. But I just discovered this show and couldn’t be more thrilled as I continue my Trek journey into the franchise’s new era. God speed gentlemen and straight ahead until morning!

Darren, Phillip, and Daniel have been doing this a while and it shows. Their chemistry together is great. Each host had his own particular interest and opinion when it comes to Trek which makes for a fun discussion. The discussions span the high minded ideals of Star Trek to silliest and most preposterous of fan musings (Snake Bot, the Great Librarian!). Have enjoyed listened by to these guys for a long while and looking forward to many episodes to come. Live Long and Prosper.
Pleasant but often inaccurate

A good-natured, frequently funny podcast. Darren, Phillip, and Daniel have a pleasant and easygoing chemistry. My only complaint is that they obviously don’t do any research on their episode topics and frequently get things wrong as a result.
These guys are a BLAST!

Darren, Phillip, and Daniel have been doing Star Trek podcasts together for a long time. They have blended their respective senses of humor into a podcasting style that is fun to listen to and still manages to inform the listener about the topic of choice. I have enjoyed listening to them for many years and I hope to listen to them for many more.
