    Is Star Trek: The Animated Series Unfairly Overlooked? | Ep. 59 with Seán Ferrick

    🖖 Is Star Trek: The Animated Series one of the most overlooked parts of Star Trek history? For Episode 59 of Trekommendations, I'm joined by Seán Ferrick (@sean.ferrick), who makes the case for giving Star Trek: The Animated Series another chance! Often dismissed or forgotten, this animated continuation of the original series brought back familiar characters, explored strange new worlds, and told stories that live-action Trek couldn't always achieve at the time. But does it deserve more recognition? And should more Star Trek fans be giving it a watch? Of course, along the way we enjoy plenty of Star Trek tangents, opinions, and the usual Trekommendations fun! 🎙️ Join us for another great Trek conversation, and let us know: Is The Animated Series an underrated gem, or is there a reason it gets overlooked? ☕ Enjoy the show?

    I'm Scared to Say I Like This! Starfleet Dreams & the AI Dilemma | Ep. 58 with TvGuyGrayson

    🖖 Can something created by AI still capture the heart and soul of Star Trek? This week on Trekommendations, I'm joined by Grayson Thagard (@TVGuyGrayson) from The Prime Detective Podcast, and he's bringing a recommendation that he's almost afraid to admit he enjoys! His Trekommendation is Starfleet Dreams, a series of AI-generated Star Trek videos that somehow manage to capture the nostalgia, optimism, and sense of wonder that made so many of us fall in love with Star Trek in the first place. But there's a problem... They're AI-generated. Grayson finds himself genuinely enjoying these videos, feeling that familiar Star Trek magic and even a renewed sense of hope for the future. But he's also conflicted about the technology behind them and what AI-generated content might mean for creativity and the future of entertainment. Can we appreciate something that makes us feel this way while still questioning how it was created? And what does it say about modern Star Trek when AI-generated videos can evoke such powerful nostalgia? Of course, as always, we get distracted by plenty of Star Trek tangents along the way! 💬 What do you think? Can AI-generated Star Trek content have a place in fandom, or does the technology behind it make it difficult to enjoy? ☕ Support Trekcommendations!Enjoying the show?

    Star Trek Continues: The Spiritual Sequel to The Original Series? | Ep. 57 with Peter Rising

    🖖 Missing that classic Star Trek: The Original Series feeling? Maybe TOS already has a fourth season…For Episode 57 of Trekommendations, I’m joined by Peter Rising from Star Trek Revisited (@star.trekrevisited) for a conversation about classic Trek, modern Trek and a fan production that Peter thinks every Star Trek fan should experience. His Trekommendation is Star Trek Continues. If some of the more recent Star Trek shows haven’t quite worked for you, or you simply miss the look, feel and storytelling of the original Enterprise crew, Peter believes Star Trek Continues does an incredible job of picking up where The Original Series left off. In fact, he goes one step further: should Star Trek Continues be considered the unofficial Season 4 of TOS? We talk about what the series gets right, how it captures the atmosphere of 1960s Trek, why it works as a continuation rather than simply an imitation, and why Peter thinks more Trek fans need to give it a chance.Plus, as always, expect plenty of Star Trek tangents along the way! ☕ Want to support Trekkommendations? You can head over to Buy Me a Coffee and buy me a Raktajino: https://buymeacoffee.com/trekommendations 🖖 What do you think — could Star Trek Continues work as an unofficial Season 4 of Star Trek: The Original Series? #StarTrek #Trekkommendations #StarTrekContinues #StarTrekTOS #TOS #Trekkie #StarTrekFans

    The Ultimate Star Trek Costume Guide! | Ep. 56 with Katrina @deepgreencosplay

    🖖 If you’ve ever wanted to recreate a Star Trek uniform, this week’s Trekommendation could be exactly what you need! For Episode 56, I’m joined by Katrina from @deepgreencosplay to talk all things Star Trek, cosplay and, of course, costumes. Katrina’s Trekommendation is the Star Trek Costume Guide by Obsessive Costuming Dude — an incredibly detailed online resource covering Star Trek uniforms and costumes. Whether you’re trying to put together an accurate cosplay, researching the tiny differences between uniforms, or you’re simply fascinated by how Trek’s costumes were constructed, there’s a huge amount to explore. We chat about why resources like this are so useful to cosplayers, Katrina’s own experiences with Trek cosplay, and inevitably disappear down a few Star Trek rabbit holes along the way. How accurate do you like your Star Trek cosplay to be? 🖖 New Trekommendations every week.

    Find The Star Trek Movie Secrets You Never Knew | Ep. 55 with Ed Pogue

    🖖 How much do you really know about the making of the Star Trek movies? This week on Trekkommendations, I’m joined by Ed Pogue from Boosting the Signal and The Invisible Man Rewatch Podcast. Ed’s Trekkommendation is The Center Seat II: 60 Years of Star Trek from Nacelle — a documentary series that dives behind the scenes of Star Trek’s cinematic history and manages to uncover stories and details that even longtime Trek fans may never have heard before. We talk about why The Center Seat II is worth watching, some of the surprising things Ed learned from the series, and why there are apparently still new stories to discover about films we’ve been watching for decades. Plus, as always, we go off on plenty of Star Trek tangents along the way! 🎙️ What’s a piece of Star Trek movie trivia that completely surprised you? #StarTrek #Trekkommendations #TheCenterSeat #Nacelle #StarTrekMovies #BoostingTheSignal Have another go at doing this thumbnailEdit

    The RIGHT Way to Watch Star Trek? Release Order Changes Everything! | Ep. 54 with Trek Trav

    🖖 What’s the best order to watch Star Trek? This week, Trek Trav joins me with a Trekkommendation that could completely change how you look at the franchise: watch Star Trek in release order. Why? Because in Star Trek, time travel has consequences. Trav’s theory is that whenever our heroes travel into the past, their actions subtly alter what comes afterwards. That means the differences and apparent continuity errors we see between shows might not be mistakes at all — they could be the result of everything that happened in the series released before them. So rather than trying to put Trek into a perfect in-universe chronological order, perhaps the evolving timeline actually makes release order the best way to experience it. We dig into Trav’s theory, continuity, time travel and, as always, plenty of Trek tangents along the way. Does this solve some of Star Trek’s biggest continuity problems? And what order do YOU watch Trek in? #StarTrek #Trekkommendations #TrekTrav #Trekkie #StarTrekFans #StarTrekTimeline

    Trek in the Wild! Finding Your Star Trek People | Ep. 53 with Krysten Lost

    🖖 Sometimes the best Trekommendation isn’t something you watch, read or collect… it’s the people you meet. For Episode 53 of Trekcommendations, I’m joined by Krysten Lost from The Trek Trio (@thetrektrio), and she’s doing something a little different with her recommendation. Krysten wants you to get out there and find Star Trek fans in the wild! Whether it’s at a convention, a local event, a bar, a random conversation or simply spotting someone wearing a Starfleet badge, there’s something brilliant about discovering another Trek fan when you least expect it. We talk about the friendships and connections that can come from a shared love of Star Trek, why meeting fellow fans in person can add a whole new dimension to the fandom, and some of Krysten’s own experiences finding her Trek people. And, because this is Trekommendations, the conversation naturally goes off course several times along the way. 😂 So maybe your next great Star Trek experience isn’t sitting on your shelf or waiting in your watchlist. Maybe you just need to go out and find it in the wild. 🖖 #StarTrek #Trekommendations #Trekkie #StarTrekFans #TrekCommunity #TheTrekTrio

    Was This the Ultimate Star Trek Fan Experience? | Evan Munro-Smith Episode 52

    52 episodes. One full year of Trekcommendations! 🖖🎉 For our first anniversary episode, I’m joined by Evan Munro-Smith (@stupidoldevan), and he’s taking us back to something Star Trek fans can sadly no longer experience for themselves — Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas. Part attraction, part museum, part immersive adventure and part place to grab a drink with a Klingon, Star Trek: The Experience was about as close as fans could get to actually stepping into the Star Trek universe. Of course, before we actually get anywhere near the recommendation, there’s plenty of Trek chat, stories, memories and the usual completely unexpected tangents along the way. And this episode is a special one for another reason… Episode 52 means Trekcommendations has officially been running for ONE YEAR! A huge thank you to everyone who has watched, listened, commented, shared an episode, suggested a guest or simply joined me each week. And an equally massive thank you to all the guests who have come on and shared something they love about Star Trek. The whole idea behind Trekcommendations was simple: Star Trek fans recommending great Star Trek things to other Star Trek fans. 52 episodes later, I think we’ve proved there’s still an awful lot left to recommend. Here’s to Year Two. 🖖 #StarTrek #Trekcommendations #StarTrekTheExperience #LasVegas #Trekkie #StarTrekFans #Podcast #StarTrekPodcast
