Another week, another class at Starfleet Academy... And this one looks like it’s bringing some serious emotional weight along with it. Episode 104, “Vox in Excelso,” arrives this Thursday, and while the Academy setting is still fr…
The semester is officially underway at Starfleet Academy. Things are starting to feel very… on brand for a group of overachieving cadets. This Thursday, episode 103 of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, "Vitus Reflux," beams in, and it looks like…
Good morning, cadets. Paramount just rang the bell and dropped a fresh batch of brand-new character portraits from Starfleet Academy. Seven of them. Clean. Confident. Absolutely radiating first-day-on-campus energy. These portraits feel less like …
School is back in session And this time, we’re talking Starfleet Academy. The first two episodes of the series, “Kids These Days” and “Beta Test,” drop on Paramount+ this Thursday, and we’ve got your sneak p…
And that’s not a bad thing. Starfleet Academy, in its first six episodes, much like Sandro Rosta’s Caleb Mir, hasn’t quite decided what kind of show it wants to be. This isn’t anything abnormal when it comes to Star Tre…
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is still a couple of seasons away from taking its final bow, but we're here getting surprises for the final episode early. It’s been announced that Thomas Jane and Kai Murakami will appear in the final epis…
Yesterday brought some big news from the final frontier. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season Three has officially arrived on digital, and if you’ve been itching to return to the bridge of the Enterprise, your moment has come. This digital re…
Alright, so I’m now two more issues deep into Susan and Tilly Bridges’ Star Trek Voyager: Homecoming, and wow, did the stakes decide to go from zero to warp 9.975 real quick. Within just a few pages, Species 8472 blows Voyager’s d…
Paramount+ just dropped some Academy knowledge at New York Comic Con The second official trailer for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has arrived! The all-new series will premiere January 15 with two episodes, followed by weekly drops every Thursday th…
The crew of the Enterprise is back, and they’re headed straight into danger! Paramount+ just dropped the first clip from Season 4 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds during the Star Trek Universe panel at New York Comic Con, and fans absolutely …
Happy Star Trek Day, Everyone. It's finale week! It’s here. After what can only be described as a divisive (this Trekkie loved it) third season, Strange New Worlds is ready to close things out with its finale, “New Life and New Ci…
On the face of it, "Terrarium" doesn’t do anything with the classic "Enemy Mine" format that "The Enemy," ‘Daybreak’ (or "Enemy Mine," for that matter) didn’t already do with the premise. I mean, it’s a good premise: t…
If you’ve listened to the podcast all the way through for the past five years, then you’ll know that I have an internal struggle between which Trek is my favorite: DS9 or Voyager. Damn, do I love both, but I have been known…
We’ve made it to the penultimate episode of Strange New Worlds season three, and things are heating up fast. This week’s episode, “Terrarium,” is written by Alan B. McElroy and directed by Andrew Coutts. Here is the official…
Listen, it’s me. There was going to be a pun in there somewhere It also dawns on me that "The Seeds of Salvation" is dropping the same day as a brand-new episode of Alien: Earth. That means fans of Trek, Alien, and sci-fi in general are going…
This week, Strange New Worlds continues its third season with episode 308, “Four-and-a-Half Vulcans.” Are these the Vulcans we're looking for? Written by Dana Horgan & Henry Alonso Myers and directed by Jordan Canning, the epi…
"What is Starfleet?" was supposed to deliver a grand format remix: a re-interpretation of Starfleet through the lens of a documentary filmmaker, able to ask and answer questions that could never be answered during a normal episode. Considering the …
We’re back with a brand-new episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds this week. Episode 307 is titled “What Is Starfleet?” and from the looks of things, it’s going to give us plenty to talk about. The title alone sugge…
The crew of Strange New Pod could not be more thrilled today. Star Trek: Lower Decks has officially made history, taking home not one but two Hugo Awards this year. An unprecedented win for both the show and the franchise. Our friends at Trek…
“The Sehlat Who Ate His Tail” is a backdoor pilot. It is clearly a backdoor pilot. How else do you describe an episode where James Kirk commands a ship with Uhura, Spock, Scotty, and Chapel aboard? Is that a bad thing? Not in its…
This Thursday, Strange New Worlds drops episode 306, “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail” And we’ve got 12 brand-new images to get you hyped for what’s looking like another wild ride in the final stretch of the season. Writt…
"Through the Lens of Time" is, perhaps, symptomatic of how there is something endemic affecting Strange New Worlds episodes. There is everything here that should make a good episode: strong character work, a mystery, proper TOS-style science ficti…
Strange New Worlds continues its third season this week with Episode 305: "Through the Lens of Time." Written by Onitra Johnson and Davy Perez, and directed by Andi Armaganian, season three officially hits the midpoint, and the newest batch o…
I will probably annoy a lot of people by saying I didn’t like this episode as much as I perhaps should have. Listen - for the sake of the record, I did enjoy the conceit of the murder mystery. I did enjoy watching our cast play pastiches of th…
