Gimmick Episodes - Earth Station Trek - Episode 221
Thursday Jul 10, 2025
Thursday Jul 10, 2025
We're one week away from the debut of STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 3, and it looks like we have a couple of gimmick episodes coming up, so we thought we'd talk about some of our favorite gimmick episodes from past years. You know the ones, those episodes with a high concept, or silly concept, that are deliberately trying to attract attention with the "gimmick". We'll have a lot of different examples, and I'm sure we'll each have a different definition we'll be working from.

Civilians in the Federation - Earth Station Trek - Episode 220
Thursday Jul 03, 2025
Thursday Jul 03, 2025
This week we will be joined by our good buddy Nick Wright to talk about civilian life and jobs in the Federation. Sounds pretty mundane, but there's actually some very interesting angles to explore here. We'll be talking about what life is like within the Federation as well as some jobs held by civilians on Starbases and even Starships. And we'll speculate wildly about what we can possibly expect from the sitcom that Tawny Newsome is developing which looks more at the civilian side of Federation life!

Mental Health and Awareness in Star Trek - Earth Station Trek - Episode 218
Friday Jun 20, 2025
Friday Jun 20, 2025
This week we are talking about how Star Trek has addressed mental health issues over the years. How will neurodiversity -- and society's understanding and acceptance of it -- change in the future? Is there a place for everyone, no matter their situation? How does Starfleet address these issues and incorporate persons in these circumstances into its ranks? What roles do Counselors play on a Starship?
But first, we'll get a "This Week in Trek" report from Keith, and then we'll talk briefly about what we learned from the Strange New Worlds screening at Tribeca.
