    282. Red (Shirt) Alert - The End of Star Trek’s Kelvin Universe
    Nov 7 2025
    This week, we mourn the loss of nuTrek, as Variety unceremoniously announced in an article about Paramount’s new (and problematic) leadership that the J.J. Abrams era of Star Trek seems to be no more.

    The studio is reportedly moving on from Chris Pine’s Kirk and into, well, darkness. So we revisit the three films from the Kelvin Timeline, what worked, what didn't, and why Hollywood is closing the door on this chapter from the Final Frontier.

    277. DS9 "Duet" Review - Remembering Harris Yulin
    Jun 17 2025
    With the sad passing of actor Harris Yulin, who played the Cardassian Aamin Marritza in Deep Space Nine's "Duet," we're going back to rewatch the classic Season 1 episode. Yulin's performance is one of the greats of Star Trek, and alongside Nana Visitor as Kira, the pair gave us an unforgettable hour of Trek.

    We also discuss the cancellation of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and why Paramount+ announced it now with two and a half seasons still to go...

    275. DS9's 'Sons and Daughters'/'Behind the Lines' Review
    Apr 12 2025
    This week, to paraphrase Martok, we give our one good eye to review Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s next two installments of the Dominion War arc: “Sons and Daughters” and “Behind the Lines.”

    Justin Bolger returns to boldly go with us as Worf struggles to re-connect with his estranged son while fighting the war, Klingon-style. We also go behind the lines of “Behind the Lines,” a.k.a. The One Where Dax Adds Another Phaser Power Cell to the Collection as Odo gets way too close to a Founder.

    “Glory to you, and to the empire!”
