#SNW documentary style episode “What is Starfleet” is less Ken Burns and more Project Veritas. We talk its journalistic merits as well as what side of a conflict should be scrutinize more. Then our discussion of the 2025 film Weapons goes from addiction to school shootings to… the housing crisis?
This is the thesis of the last 7 episodes of this podcast.

Our music composer, Fluffy, is putting all her work up on youtube in convenient playlist form!
I haven't felt like working on novembeat for the last few days but on the plus side I've made a lot of progress on reuploading my music catalog to YouTube in a self-administered way. I'm super proud of the visualizer I built for Refactor, for example, all in FFmpeg! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Our latest episode tries to figure out what “empathy for the enemy“ means for Captain Pike in the best JT Kirk story since TOS in #SNW “The Sehlat Who Ate its Tail”. Then it’s erotic ghost story time as Beverly Crusher explores being an spectrosexual in TNG’s classic bodice ripping romp, Sub Rosa!

TK Bellows wears an interesting and anachronistic pair of glasses in “A Space Adventure Hour”. They’re S9 frames, also known as “birth control frames”. From 1990 to 2012 they were standard military issue to navy and army recruits. Saddam Hussein was given a pair when he was captured in 2003.

Here's something I noticed on my rewatch of "Shuttle to Kenfori". The Klingon transmission ↖️ uses and old fan made alphabet created by Geoffrey Mandel for the "U.S.S. Enterprise Officer's Manual" published in 1980 ↗️ instead of "pIqaD"↙️ which has been the official Klingon alphabet since TMP.↘️

Anyone else notice Christina Chong talks into the bottom of her communicator like a smartphone in speaker phone mode? ↖️↗️ Ethan Peck ↙️ and Celia Rose Gooding ↘️ hold it the traditional way.

For some reason #SNW “Through the Lens of Time“ gave us the giggles. Is Roger Korby the worst archeologist ever? Is Ensign Gamble the ultimate rookie cop? After we contain ourselves we talk about Star Trek as a genre leaping format and if Strange New Worlds has been succeeding at that tradition.

Curious about that book TK Bellows was chasing in “A Space Adventure Hour”? For real life Gene Roddenberry it was “Pretty Maids All in a Row” which was filmed and released in 1971. You don’t have to watch this stinker because our own @mark2000.bsky.social reviewed it for @trekmovie.bsky.social. 1/
Forgotten Roddenberry: Pretty Maids All In A Row
Our final look at Gene Roddenberry's 1970's work brings us The Great Bird's unfortunate attempt at a sex comedy, "Pretty Maids All In A Row."

@stobiesgalaxy.bsky.social what’s the chance we can get you to come on our show so we can convince you Kirk and Spock are more than just close roommates that do, in fact, smooch. 😉

had a great time guesting on this Star Trek podcast, chatting about the eternal popularity of Spirk, and how Strange New Worlds is backtracking on queer representation.
Is #SNW “A Space Adventure Hour” a loving send up or a mean spirited swipe at Star Trek’s roots. We hash that out first between us jerks and then with special guest Gavia Baker-Whitelaw (@gavia.bsky.social) who begs us to ask “Why is Strange New Worlds So Obsessed With Giving Spock a Girlfriend”.

Ryan and Mark catch a Shuttle to Kenfori... or is it Kenifor? We figure that out along with how to rank Doctor M'Benga's many ethics violations in our latest #SNW review. Then we discuss our favorite Space zombies, the Borg!

Every season of SNW has to have a Spock high jinks episode, and this one came sooner than expected in Wedding Bell Blues. We'll discuss why Spock is only allowed to be funny in silly episodes and how disturbingly one sided Pike/Batel is. Then we'll tell you what we're binging lately!

We're starting a new run of episodes reviewing this season of SNW. This week we take on the conclusion to Hegemony. Then Ryan watched Murderbot and Mark watched Alien:Earth but neither of us wanted to sit through the other. So, we spoil them for each other while discussing their similar themes!

Sharing a BTS shot from The Black Hole we’ve never seen before. This is from the utterly flawless meteor in the hallway scene. Shocking that it was done on plain old blue screen.

I'm going to have to discuss "This is Starfleet" with @ryanthomasriddle.com before reading any takes on it. I don't want any of my mixed reactions to be explained or backed up before I can vent them at him first.

Yup. “Battlefield” is a classic alllivesmatter story. We talked about this two years ago. The idea that Kirk would have drinks with the oppressor is insane.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier premiered 36 years ago today with a plot so exciting they had to put seatbelts in the theater. It’s also the only movie in the franchise with no clear theme. Listen to our review where we try to figure out what the mountain means.

Kick off pride month by revisiting our amazing Spirk discussion with guests Don and Catherine. We talk about the history of slash fiction, Roddenberry’s relationship with slash authors, and a little known Nimoy produced film where he plays a gay man in prison.
