REVIEW OF LOWER DECKS S4E3 "IN THE CRADLE OF VEXILON" Welcome to Corazonia where A PROBLEM HAS BEEN DETECTED AND YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL COMPUTER HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR MEGASTRUCTURE A planet sized blue screen of death...well, that can't be good! Join Aaron and Steve as they review Lower Deck's season 4 episode 3 "In the Cradle of Vexilon". They discuss the difference between a Dyson and Niven ring, follow Boimler on his first command, sympathize with Freeman and her tech issues and tag along with the other lower deckers as they 'move along home'. Allamaraine! Third shap!
STAR TREK DAY WAS AMAZING THIS YEAR AND TOTALLY WORTH WATCHING, RIGHT!? Given that there's going to be a dearth of Star Trek on the horizon doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of Star Trek to talk about! Between discussing Star Trek Day (which Mike watched and Johnson did not), Very Short Treks, and United We Trek, there's actually a lot going on in the Star Trek universe - and that's BEFORE we even get into Lower Decks! That being said, we spend a bit of time talking about "Twovix" and "I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee." We're glad to say that the show hasn't missed a beat, and it seems like Mike McMahan heard our feedback and finally gave everyone promotions (we're willing to take all the credit). It's incredible how much this show can pack into less than 30 minutes of television - whether it's all the Voyager references you could want, or a new character that would make the perfect plush toy.
EXPLORING ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY DEVELOPED CHARACTERS IN ALL OF TREK Are you ready to top into your emotional core and empathize like a half-Betazoid?

This is the episode where we go deep into discussions surrounding one of Star Trek's most intelligent, well-rounded, intuitive, and emotionally insightful characters. Tune in, and let's raise a chocolate sundae to Counselor Troi!

Hello? Is it WE you're looking for??? (to the tune of Hello by Lionel Richie) Yes friends it is time! Summer is over and it is time to get back to work. Haley and Sara are reunited with an all new episode of Rewind and this time we don't hold back at all. We're breaking down that TNG Season 1 ender, The Neutral Zone. You know the one! The crew finds that probe with frozen folks from the 80's onboard and hilarity ensues? But not too much hilarity, the Romulans are causing trouble too. Not only that but Haley and Sara catch up on life, love, canyoning and the big trip Sara took to STLV. Haley came with questions ready, written down on pen and paper...something she'd personally request from a replicator should she have the chance. So stop what you're doing and have a listen as we do as we do best.
This week on The Flagship, Bill & Dan are joined by actors Natalia Castellanos, Jonathan Del Arco, and John Billingsley for an update on the SAG-AFTRA & WGA strikes AND to tell us about an upcoming themed picket line event September 8th called "United We Trek!" As fans, we know September 8th as Star Trek Day. This Friday, actors, writers will be joining with other creatives and Star Trek fans to walk the picket lines at the Paramount in both Los Angeles and New York City. There's a LOT of information in this episode and you don't want to miss it! If you're not able to picket, there are other ways to support what's going on: Information on the letter writing campaign: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NoOUPICe1I3xKKSFItejxvol7SNB0Rmk/edit?fbclid=IwAR2OKy6PEtBCeLwRQTzKztAtK6MDqxn-6NdkEg9qW4cypgxB8jpnJJVsa0U Donate to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation to help those struggling to get by: https://sagaftra.foundation/
RECAPPING STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS SEASON 3 With a mix of clever references to classic Trek and fresh, inventive storylines, Season 3 of Lower Decks maintained its winning formula of paying homage to the franchise's legacy while carving out its own unique and entertaining space within the Star Trek universe. Join Aaron and Steve as they touch on each episode of Season 3's Lower Decks analyzing character development, plot twists, and those oh so fun Gorn eggs that make Lower Decks a true love letter to the franchise.
Bill & Dan have returned from Fabulous Las Vegas and STLV! There were laughs, there were amazing meals, there were reunions, but more importantly, there was a TON of Star Trek! They'll look back on their entire week in the desert and their return to the Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino for the first time in three years. Hear about opening night in the Vendor Hall, some of the people they met--including Bill's conversation with a self-described "toxic Star Trek fan," and all about FanGeeks Party 2023 at Millennium Fandom Bar with special guests John Billingsley, Bonnie Gordon, and Michelle Hurd! Plus, they'll each pick their most favorite thing from this trip--and Dan's has absolutely nothing to do with Trek. It was one of their favorite trips to Vegas EVER, and you get to hear why this week!
UPDATE ON THE SAG-AFTRA & WGA STRIKE John Billingsley, Jonathan Del Arco, and Natalia Castellanos joined us this week to give us an update on the SAG-AFTRA & WGA strikes, as well as to promote a very special picket line event September the 8th called United We Trek!

WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IN SEASON 4 OF STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS Strange New World's season 2 was a lot of fun but now it's time to warp out of the 23rd Century and back onboard the USS Cerritos. This week we start our coverage of Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 and our collaboration with Tex-Trek! In anticipation of the new season Aaron Harvey, Steven Fatheree and special guest Brandi Jackola are here to reveal the top 5 things they hope to see in Lower Decks this year.
The near end of summer also means that Strange New Worlds Season 2 has come to an end - with Season 3 airing in... 2025? We discuss this and other news items - which honestly isn't a lot considering the SAG/AFTRA strike. In fact, after Lower Decks Season 4 and Discovery Season 5, there might not be much new Trek for a while - how will we survive!? But that is a tomorrow problem! In today's episode, we're here to talk about the last two episodes for SNW S2, the musical episode "Subspace Rhapsody" and the finale "Hegemony." Mike and Johnson share their thoughts, and definitely become animated in discussing their different views on these two episodes. Do we want more musicals? Do we want more Gorn?! Listen and find out!
A LOOK BACK AT AN OFTEN OVERLOOKED TREK FILM Star Trek: Insurrection is a film most TNG fans never got particularly excited about. It's probably not on anyone's top 5 favorite Trek films, however, it's probably better than you remember! In this hysterical and out of control episode, our crew, having recently re-watched the film, discuss its highs and lows with fresh perspective. You don't want to miss a single moment of this week's episode because it is filled with tons of banter back and forth about what our crew loves and could live without when it comes to the 1998 film, Star Trek: Insurrection.

Discussing the popular, iconic, and graphic film RoboCop was a film that sparked the imagination of movie-goers and launched a franchise. It is iconic, cheesy, violent, and filled with satire.

We have our opinions and whether you're a fan of this film or not, we hope you will enjoy our conversation.

Actress, Mother, Songwriter, and more! (THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED ON JULY 5, 2023, PRIOR TO THE STRIKE BY SAG-AFTRA.) We were pleased to visit with the multi-talented Margot Rose who portrayed Eline (Picard's wife) in one of TNG's most popular episodes, The Inner Light. We talk all about this amazing and touching episode, get some great behind the scenes stories along the way, but we were fascinated to learn that Margot is a gifted songwriter and is working on her own stage production to honor the life of her daughter. You'll want to sit down with a warm cup of earl grey for this one! We fell in love with Margot and you will, too!

We fast forward past a few SNW episodes to talk about a recent favorite, "Those Old Scientists!" Mike and Johnson are both huge fans of this episode, which features Boimler and Mariner visit the Strange New Worlds crew. From the constant references to physical comedy, this episode is somehow able to blend the spirit of both shows successfully. We're huge fans! But first some news items, which includes a look at the final season of Discovery, a trailer for the next season of Lower Decks, and the announcement of a musical episode of Strange New Worlds!? Mixed feelings on that one.
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE We unpack the action-packed film that brought Transformers to the "big screen" in 2007! This special effects heavy film still looks great in 2023 and we talk about the things we love and flat out hate about this film. We mostly love it, though! There's always a lot to talk about when we sit down together to talk about sci-fi films like this one! Calling all autobots for a fun and exciting episode of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast!

Bill & Dan preempt their discussion on Reg Barclay this week to tackle the news regarding the strike called by SAG-AFTRA and its members. With STLV starting in less than two weeks, it's important to know what is allowed for Union members and what isn't. Plus, they'll discuss the bad info that's out there and why fans can't be "scabs," and provide an important update regarding FanGeeks Party 2023! So, sit back, breathe easy, and get ready to pack your suitcase for Las Vegas with the Trek Geeks!

This week we discuss the work of science fiction legend, Harlan Ellison. Whether you're a fan or a critic, his work continues to stand the test of time. Star Trek fans love him for his contribution to the original series in City on the Edge of Forever. His career covered lots of ground, so much so, that we couldn't begin to fit it all in one episode. So we chose the material that speaks most powerfully to us. We had some technical difficulty in the episode and Cris can only be heard at the beginning of the recording. He was having internet issues and could only be with us for a few short minutes. Nevertheless, we think you'll find this week's episode fascinating and engaging!

The one where I talk to Bill and Dan about their favourite movie. That's right folks, the episode subtitle says it all, I invited Bill and Dan onto Rewind to join me, Sara, to talk about their favourite Star Trek movie, Insurrection. They LOVE this movie, like, a lot... everything from the opening scene soundtrack, to the witty back and forth banter and the intensity of the chosen Alien villain. I was shocked! But that's not all we talk about, oh no. The first half of this episode is all about the upcoming Creation 57-year mission convention in Las Vegas. We're talking about the Fan Geeks party, what is sure to be the most epic event yet. Bill and Dan tease all about the Fan Sets giveaways, the celebrity guests and some info about the fabulous new location, the Millennium fandom bar!. We also talk about the possible strike implications on convention attendance and who we are all excited to see on stage and at their booth. So join us for this special edition of Rewind that's here to tie you over until Haley and I return after our summer vacation.

Just for fun, let's copy in what ChatGPT said about this episode! I mean, that's kinda what happens, but not really. Bill & Dan talk about the return of our beloved TNG characters and the amazing performances by newer cast members--oh, and did you SEE that Enterprise D bridge?! Catch it all in this episode of The Flagship. Without that "comprehensive understanding." I don't know what ChatGPT is talking about.
The one we would consider a "Super Special" Hello Earthlings, pets, and any sketchy artificial intelligence that may be listening! Haley and Sara are back and for their birthday month it's a Super Special, Double Digest of an episode. It's the Best of Both Worlds part 1 and 2. You heard that right. We two did what we've wanted to do since we started this podcast, rewatch a phenomenal two-part episode and talk allll about it. Of course Sara phoned it in and didn't watch part two but if you keep listening, her explanation for this err is acceptable. We talk Borg, Picard, Shelby and provide episode recaps as only we can. We also dive into some fast facts re: Picard Season 3! So please, join us on this birthday month episode and have a laugh or two. As always we would love to hear from you so tweet us at VanIslandSara on twitter or leave a voice mail on the Trek Geeks podcast website! Cheers listeners!
