“The Griffin Incident” is #StarTrek’s biggest step into horror in the franchise’s history. I’m not a horror guy, but from how unsettling it was, it seemed like a great horror episode. But I’m not totally sure it was a great episode of Star Trek. My review: blog.trekcore.com/2026/07/star...

I had SO MUCH FUN with this recording! It was an honor to be chosen for a new pod and I was *genuinely nervous* that I would screw it up! Thank you, Alex for the invite and I hope everyone enjoys this batch of Enterprise.

Great interview w/Chris Fisher, who was on set from Day One through S5 of #SNW as a supervising producer. So much insight into how the production team approached the show. (Amazing to learn he is a full-on 'Niner & his two key mentors in the business are Trek legends Marvin Rush & Merri Howard) #DS9

Absolutely disgraceful that @trekmovie.bsky.social is doing glossy public relations for Alec Peters and Axanar. I am a huge fan of the team over there, but boy does this article miss the fucking mark completely. Fans were conned out of money, plain and simple. trekmovie.com/2026/07/27/a...

Playing Star Trek Adventures today and accidentally got my character into the position of uh, fucking Quark for information Quark was a real gentleman (still charged me for the information)
I had a great conversation with #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds producer and director Chris Fisher about the making of SNW. Chris was on set for every episode, and directed some of the series best - including this week’s “Valles Marineres.” We discuss all that and more: blog.trekcore.com/2026/07/week...

#StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds returns for season 4 with “Valles Marineris” and the episode is BIG and FUN. It’s maybe a little overstuffed and the episode’s implications don’t quite get the space they deserve, but it’s a pulpy sci-fi adventure and I enjoyed it a lot. blog.trekcore.com/2026/07/star...

I had a lot of fun chatting about this excellent run of Enterprise episodes with Alex! Warp Factor 5 is a great way to chunk up a rewatch or just to revisit some eps you haven’t seen in a while. Have a slice of pineapple cake and join us! 🍍

Loved both episodes, Alex! The first segment with Bill, reminiscing about life and connections to trek when the episodes were released, really shines.
Don't miss Episode 2 of #WarpFactorFive! I was thrilled be the guest on this installment, covering "The Andorian Incident", "Breaking the Ice", "Civilization", "Fortunate Son" and "Cold Front". Check it out!

Fortunate Son: 4 [Space Boomers gone rogue. I thought this was a fascinating premise. This ep had a nice gravitas. Ryan forgot there were children on that ship he had to protect] Cold Front: 2.5 [Ugh, I hate the TCW. Plus I don't understand the cascade, that couldn't have happened originally]
Andorian Incident: 4.5 [❤️this one. I do always wonder if the monks were doing the monitoring or just allowed the equipment to be there] Breaking the Ice: 3 [liked the story w/T'Pol better, though early exploration was interesting] Civilization: 3 [Really nice mystery & 1st undercover mission]

3️⃣ Production Design - NX-01 Bridge, Broken Bow ** 4️⃣ Loud Moment - Rooftop shootout, Broken Bow 5️⃣ Quiet Moment - "What if they were Vulcans" scene, Fight or Flight ** Tough to narrow it down, because every bit of production design for the running elements are great. From the sets down to the props.
Gut feeling ratings, not using my rewatch scoring system yet! Broken Bow - 4.5 / 5 Fight or Flight - 3.5 / 5 Strange New Worlds - 3 / 5 Unexpected - 1.5 / 5 Terra Nova - 1.5 / 5 My favorites: 1️⃣ Series Regular - Scott Bakula, Broken Bow 2️⃣ Guest Star - Kellie Waymire, Strange New World

I had some thoughts about what the news about Amazon canceling the new #Stargate show means for #StarTrek. You’ll either hear thoughtful commentary on the state of legacy franchises with a built in fanbase or the start of my midlife crisis. Let me know which it is: open.spotify.com/episode/1Qe3...

It feels like there’s a real vibe shift happening at the studios around established IP with existing fanbases. As the return on these franchises have lost a lot of steam, and original content is getting more successful, I expect to see more of this. www.gateworld.net/news/2026/06...

VERY stupid and VERY sloppy, and clearly a rush to use AI tools that the user has no real conception of how to get value from. Are there any #StarTrek fans left working at P+? So many great moments that fit the "character faces are appealing when deciding what to select to watch next" algorithm.
