Star Trek: TNG Season 5 Part 2 - Earth Station Trek - Episode 216

Last week's show was derailed by Q (or assimilated by the Borg, or got caught up in the Klingon Civil War, or something...) so we're going to try it again this week! We're joined by Elaine and Matt Sweatman who are voyaging through the entirety of Star Trek and have reached the end of Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5!

Join us for an in-depth exploration into an excellent season of Trek! We also talk about the recently revealed episode titles of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3!

Religion in Star Trek - Earth Station Trek - Episode 213

This week we'll be pondering existing and asking the tough questions about belief and spirituality in the Trekverse: What species and individuals in the franchise seem to worship a God or gods? Which are agnostic or atheistic? Does Earth or the Federation seem to take a stand on religion at all? What other species seem to reject religion and spirituality, and which embrace them? Do we think the future of humanity will see religion decrease in time as some shows like "The Orville" claim? And more.

Is Star Trek Dying? - Earth Station Trek - Episode 212

That's the question: "Is Star Trek Dying?" According to Robert Kazinsky, who played Zeph in the Section 31 film, it is -- and he says he's heard that directly from the boss's mouth. So what do we think? Is it true? A couple years ago when we were getting Star Trek for almost a full calendar year, things were looking quite positive. Has that changed? What's the state of fandom now? Has streaming helped or hurt the franchise? If it is true, and Trek really is dying, what's the remedy? What can be done about it? We will answer (as best we can) all these questions and more in tonight's LIVE show. And as always we welcome your questions and insights as well!

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.

Strange New Worlds Season Three Trailer Breakdown - Earth Station Trek - Episode 210

This week the EARTH STATION TREK crew breaks down the new trailer for Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds! We're going to feed the data into the Enterprise computer bank and analyze it frame by frame (okay, it may not be that thorough but close to it!). We'll use the information at hand to form an educated hypothesis (i.e. speculate widely) about what is in store in the coming season for Pike and his crew. Definitely join us and let know what you're most looking forward to in Season 3!

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!
