Positively Trek 245: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Retrospective
Our Thoughts on the 2nd Season

With Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 on the books (and the follow-up likely to be delayed for some time), Positively Trek hosts Barry and Dan have decided to look back at the season and share our thoughts on how we feel the whole thing turned out.

In the news segment, we talk about Star Trek Day 2023 and the latest from the #SaveStarTrekProdigy campaign.

Positively Trek 244: Starfleet Dances and Sings!
Celebrating the In-Universe Musical Talent of the Characters of Star Trek

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds broke new ground by giving us Star Trek’s first musical episode, but it was hardly the first time we’ve heard the musical talents of Starfleet officers. From TOS, all the way through TNG, DS9, Voyager, and all of the modern Treks, the characters have played instruments, sang, and entertained us from the final frontier!

In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry take a look at all the times we enjoyed the singing and music created by characters in the Star Trek universe. As you’ll see, Star Trek and music have gone hand-in-hand since the very beginning!

In the news segment, we take a look at the recently released sneak preview of Star Trek: Prodigy season two!

Positively Trek 241: Star Trek Prodigy is Canceled, and We’re Not Happy
Bruce Joins Dan and Barry for this Unhappy Episode

The vibe is a little less than positive in this week’s Positively Trek as Bruce Gibson joins Dan and Barry to lament the surprise and frustrating cancellation of Star Trek: Prodigy. We also discuss the imminent departure of all Star Trek from the Crave streaming service in Canada.

We talk about our thoughts on the cancellation, what the future looks like for Prodigy, and what this might mean for the Star Trek universe as a whole.
