Filler Episodes - Earth Station Trek - Episode 211

This week the EARTH STATION TREK crew discusses filler episodes. According to Alex Kurtzman, the advantage of doing 10 episodes per season in Modern Trek is that you eliminate filler episodes - those that fall in between the classics in order to get your season to its 22 - 26 episode order. But "fillers" have their place too! We'll talk about what each of us considers to be filler eps, some of our favorites from the past, and whether we think (in spite of Kurtzman's feelings) that Modern Trek has fillers too! Join us for what should prove to be a fun topic that'll likely touch upon every Star Trek series.

Recurring Characters - Earth Station Trek - Episode 208

This week we take a look at some of our favorite recurring Star Trek characters - those characters who add color, depth and dimension to the various shows. They may be antagonists, they may be comic relief, they may flesh out the various Starfleet crews, or they may be extreme outliers. Whomever or whatever they are, the Trekverse would be a much duller place without them!

A Deep Dive on Vulcans - Earth Station Trek - Episode 206

This week we examine what it really means to be Vulcan, and we have questions. Are their native passions and aggressions actually worse than human emotions? Are Vulcans "superior" to us, have they handicapped themselves by adapting Logic, can they even function without suppressing who they are? We will explore these questions and more, keeping in mind the ultimate question of our own humanity and what it means to be human.

Star Trek: Gene's Vision - Earth Station Trek - Episode 205

We Trek fans talk a lot about Gene Roddenberry's vision for Star Trek. But what is that vision, and how does it still fit with our world today? Has Trek drifted from Gene's vision of a more perfect future with things like Section 31 and actions by Sisko, Archer, others? Is that a good and necessary or bad thing overall to adjust his vision with the times? This should prove to be a lively discussion.

Star Trek What If...? - Earth Station Trek - Episode 203

Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility. Where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. We are the hosts of Earth Station Trek. We will be your guide into the alternate realities of the Trekverse. Follow us and ponder the question . . . "What if?" This week we explore events that could have happened differently in Star Trek, both behind the scenes and on screen, and see how those changes might have altered the way Star Trek progressed over the years.
