In episode #61 of Strange New Worlds Fancast, SP, Jake, and Carolyn tackle Season 4, Episode 6, “Off Hour,” as the Enterprise is caught in a catastrophic slipstream that sends the crew scrambling to keep the ship—and themselves—alive. The hosts dive into the episode’s disaster-movie energy, comparing its escalating crises to everything from The Poseidon Adventure and The Martian to 24, while celebrating what they see as a classic Star Trek adventure built around problem-solving, teamwork, and one crisis after another. The discussion gets especially personal as Scotty begins to believe in himself and embrace the Enterprise as his ship, Chapel refuses to give up on a gravely injured M’Benga, Una confronts her own troubling feelings about sacrifice, and the cadet learns that sometimes Starfleet’s rules have to bend when lives are at stake. Along the way, the hosts explore the episode’s connections to Trek lore, the return of Dr. Boyce from “The Cage,” the growing path toward McCoy, Vulcan mind melds, Murphy’s Law, transporter training, and the enduring quirks of the Enterprise—including its doomed piano and hazardous chandelier. Add in listener feedback, a deep dive into the recurring “green” drink reference involving Scotty, Trek Trivia, and plenty of the hosts’ trademark tangents and humor, and episode #61 celebrates an episode they see as a particularly consequential, character-driven return to the adventurous spirit of Star Trek.

In episode #60 of Strange New Worlds Fancast, SP, Jake, and Carolyn take on Season 4, Episode 5, “Level 5 Transporter Accident,” as a transporter malfunction transforms most of the Enterprise crew into puppets while Spock fights to reclaim the ship. The hosts dive into the episode’s wonderfully bizarre premise, giving plenty of credit to the puppeteers, green-screen work, character designs, and the sheer technical achievement of bringing the story to life—while also debating whether the episode’s ultimate explanation undercuts everything that came before it. They have fun with everything from Pike’s spectacular puppet hair and Pelia’s tiny puppet antics to Scotty’s transporter troubles, while discussing the episode’s place among Star Trek’s long tradition of silly and experimental stories. The conversation also turns to the season’s continuing reliance on different movie and television genres, with the hosts giving the showrunners credit for finding directors who fully embrace each episode’s particular style. Add in Trek trivia, listener feedback, plenty of wonderfully unexpected tangents, and the hosts’ trademark humor, and episode #60 proves that sometimes the strangest way to explore Strange New Worlds is by turning the Enterprise crew into puppets.

In episode #59 of Strange New Worlds Fancast, SP, Jake, and Carolyn beam down into Season 4, Episode 4, “A Case of Chiaroscuro,” for a spirited—and decidedly divided—discussion of Strange New Worlds’ bold black-and-white homage to classic cinema. As Una is mistaken for a resistance leader on a planet under Klingon occupation, the hosts explore the episode’s Casablanca-inspired style, striking production design, and the character moments that put Una, Uhura, M’Benga, and La’an in the spotlight. They dig into Uhura’s intense interrogation, M’Benga’s growing collection of wartime mysteries and moral dilemmas, Una’s surprising doppelgänger, La’an’s suspicions aboard the Enterprise, and the twists surrounding the resistance’s plan to fight back against their Klingon occupiers. Along the way, the trio debates whether the episode’s ambitious stylistic experiment succeeds, whether its standalone story does enough to move the season forward, and why Carolyn found more to appreciate with each rewatch while Jake remained firmly unconvinced. Add in Klingon history, engineering rabbit holes, Trek Trivia, listener feedback, plenty of movie references and laughs, and episode #59 delivers a lively conversation about one of season four’s most unusual—and most divisive—adventures.

In episode #58 of Strange New Worlds Fancast, SP, Jake, and Carolyn head to a pleasure planet for a hilarious—and increasingly chaotic—review of Season 4, Episode 3, “Human Best Friend.” The hosts have a blast dissecting the crew’s disastrous shore leave, from Spock’s unusual behavior and Kirk’s unexpected appearance to the unforgettable pairing of Ortegas and Scotty, whose misadventures ultimately reveal the beginnings of a genuine friendship. They explore the episode’s elaborate costumes and hilarious details, Una’s unexpected turn as a Klingon ballad singer, Pike’s increasingly wild vacation experience, the mysterious circumstances surrounding the crew’s lost memories, and the episode’s clever callbacks to classic Star Trek. Along the way, they debate the season’s increasingly standalone approach, discuss whether Kirk really needed to be part of the story, celebrate the episode’s comedy and character moments, respond to listener feedback, and tackle another round of Trek Trivia. With plenty of laughter, spirited tangents, and a few questions about where these character relationships—and the season itself—are headed, episode #58 celebrates one of Strange New Worlds’ most entertaining and delightfully chaotic adventures.

The scares are back! In episode #57 of Strange New Worlds Fancast, SP, Jake, and Carolyn venture into one of the franchise's most chilling episodes as they break down "The Griffin Incident," a haunted-ship mystery that blends classic Star Trek with psychological horror. From eerie ghostly encounters and unsettling survival horror to the episode's unanswered mysteries, the hosts explore why this story feels more like Event Horizon than a traditional Star Trek adventure. Along the way, they debate whether Star Trek needs every mystery explained, examine the evolving relationships between La'an, Spock, and Kirk, discuss haunting foreshadowing tied to Kirk's future, and analyze the episode's many horror tropes—from splitting up on an abandoned starship to opening doors that should have stayed sealed. Add in plenty of laughs, Carolyn's candid reactions to one of her least favorite kinds of Trek episodes, Trek trivia, listener feedback, and spirited speculation about where season four is headed, and you'll find a lively conversation that proves even Star Trek's darkest stories make for unforgettable podcasting.

Season four is here! In episode #56 of Strange New Worlds Fancast, SP, Jake, and Carolyn launch into an enthusiastic review of the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premiere, "Valles Marineris," as Captain Pike and the Enterprise find themselves stranded 65 million years in Earth's past. From dinosaur encounters and Martian civilizations to impossible time paradoxes and high-stakes moral choices, the hosts break down everything that made the season opener feel like a return to classic Star Trek adventure. They debate Pike's defining command decision, explore character moments for Una, Ortegas, Spock, Scotty, and Chapel, speculate about Pelia's mysterious Doctor Who-style references, and even imagine how captains like Kirk, Picard, Janeway, Sisko, and Archer would have handled the episode's central dilemma. Add in behind-the-scenes insights from San Diego Comic-Con, listener feedback, Trek trivia, and plenty of laughs, and you've got the perfect way to kick off another season of bold exploration with the Strange New Worlds Fancast.

In episode #52 of Strange New Worlds Fancast, SP, Jake, and Carolyn bring their trademark mix of analysis, humor, and fandom as they dive headlong into the season one finale of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, “Rubicon,” unpacking an episode that surprised them with its deeply classic Star Trek heart — less about brute force and more about compassion, courage, intellect, and confronting old wounds.

The Redshirts continue their Starfleet Academy watch with episode nine, “300th Night,” as SP, Jake, and Carolyn tackle a pivotal setup chapter that puts Caleb at the center of a life-changing choice while the Federation faces a growing existential threat. The trio digs into the episode’s major time jump, Caleb’s reunion with his mother, Sam’s sudden character shift, and a rescue mission that brings heart, humor, glitter-induced vomiting, and plenty of head-scratching plot mechanics. Along the way, they debate whether Jonathan Frakes’ strong direction can overcome shaky writing, question the season’s bigger villain setup and technobabble-heavy stakes, praise the emotional beats that land, and wrestle with whether this is a meaningful bridge to the finale—or simply a frustrating placeholder. Plus: listener feedback, Trek trivia, and more classic Redshirt banter to close things out.

The Redshirts dive into one of Starfleet Academy’s most intense and emotionally charged episodes yet as SP, Jake, and Carolyn break down the cadets’ first real training mission gone disastrously wrong. The Redshirts tackle loss, sacrifice, and hard lessons about duty as the Academy crew faces a deadly derelict ship, a brutal new enemy, and the reality that Starfleet service comes with real consequences. The discussion covers Tarima’s dangerous telepathic gamble, if Caleb has a growing discomfort with others sacrificing themselves for him, the delivering of a deliciously hateable villain in Nus, and whether the episode finally proves this series is willing to raise the stakes. Along the way, the hosts debate writing choices, villain motivation, Academy preparedness, standout performances, and the emotional impact of losing a cadet, before closing out with ratings, classic Trek connections, listener feedback, and the always-chaotic Trek trivia segment.

The discussion covers holographic life and consent, comparisons to Data, Odo, and the Voyager Doctor, midterm chaos at the Academy, Caleb’s ongoing distraction and search for his mother, and how humor—flattening fish, Academy announcements, and drunk Sam—balances heavier themes. The hosts also dive into the episode’s standout bar fight, guest voice performances, creative team pedigree, and whether this episode represents a turning point for the series overall. As always, the conversation wanders into classic Trek connections, season-structure frustrations, listener feedback, and wraps up with another round of Trek trivia before signing off.

The discussion covers Jay-Den’s debate meltdown and eventual breakthrough, how the episode reframes Klingons, Caleb’s rule-based debate personality versus community experience, and Chancellor Ake and Admiral Vance attempts to steer political and cultural outcomes in a Federation-based solution. Along the way, the Redshirt reacts to classic Trek callbacks, Academy weirdness, moments of unexpected humor, and whether the episode solves complex ideas a little too neatly, before closing out with thoughts on character growth, lingering season frustrations, and where the show seems to be heading next. And don't forget the Trek trivial segment at the end, and some great listener feedback.

Duras Sisters: Lursa: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Lursa B'Etor: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/B%27Etor

The Redshirts give you an extra long review of the Star Trek series Starfleet Academy third episode "Vitus Reflux." In this 32rd Century version of Hogwarts, the episode dives headfirst into a classic underdog showdown, using a flashy competition with the War College to explore something much deeper: trust, leadership, and growing beyond fear. As rival cadets trade smug Vulcan smack talk, Klingon muscle, and the occasional exploding replicator, the real battle becomes internal—especially for Caleb, whose instinct to brute-force every problem finally gives way to a hard-won realization that teamwork matters more than ego. Genesis steps into true leadership, Tig delivers some of the episode’s sharpest emotional truths about chosen family, and Chancellor Ake quietly proves she’s playing a much longer, smarter game than anyone realizes. While familiar tropes and a divisive dash of teen romance spark debate with Carolyn, Jake, and SP, the episode ultimately lands as a character-driven turning point—one that shows Starfleet’s future learning to move past survival, fear, and isolation, toward cooperation, trust, and growth.

It's the offseason for Star Trek Strange New Worlds so we decided to pickup the new Star Trek series Starfleet Academy while we wait. SP, Jake and Carolyn watch with open minds but bring all their bias of their previous trek viewing. They enjoy all the Starfleet nods of both old and new Trek, the 60th anniversary Trek intro, and the ship that is also a school. SP is concerned about teen angst, Jake is concerned about the writings knowing Trek lore, and Carolyn just needs to know what the Athena ship's registry number stands for (NCC 392023). Bear with us as we slightly confuse episodes as we record and try to catch up to real time in the face of real-life obstacles. The trio does bring back some 2016 Star trek trivia which Jake bests us all. Let us know what you think! We'll read your e-mails on the show.

Captain Bubbles and her Redshirts discuss and review the second half of the Strange New Worlds season 3 premiere "Wedding Bell Blues." The crew discuss this historic Star Trek episode aired in 2025 that ties the entire universe from season 1 in 1966 to the Picard season 3 finale in 2023. Does your head hurt from the real time time travel yet? Don't worry about it and enjoy the Sam Kirk insults, La'An's epic dancing moves, the new Enterprise bartender, Scotty's first Star Trek drink and kilt, who the best Star Trek Best Man is, that wonderful Chapel wedding dress and some fun Star Trek Trivial Pursuit.

Captain Bubbles (A.K.A. Shannon) was in it for Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis while her crew of Starfleet Section 35 Chief Commander Klinger (Jake) and Agent SP (A.K.A. SP) discuss and review the 2025 Paramount+ streaming movie "Star Trek: Section 31." The crew run down how big of a departure the movie was from traditional Star Trek while retaining amazing nods to existing Trek storylines, the delicious history of Rachel Garrett and the actor that portrayed her Kacey Rohl, the alien sex/mecha boom-boom/lost Deltan, how the fight scenes came off, if Philippa Georgiou was redeemable or not, the sad state of Trek tech, and possible Section 31 futures. 

Thank you for listening to our coverage of Section 31. Strange New Worlds Fancast will return later in 2025 to cover Strange New Worlds season 3.

In this, the last episode of Strange New Worlds Season 2 is a bit bittersweet. It's awesome and we love it but we most likely aren't gonna get another for a while. Join us as we gather to enjoy the cliffhanger that is 'Hegemony' and talk about who is carrying Gorn spawn.

We've got Klingon-Boy-Bands and Wubba-Lubbas all over this cast. You just never know what is going to come your way with Strange New Worlds, and today, it was a musical. We know what you're thinking but honestly, it does get better. However, just know we have one episode left after t his and we are stoked for it.

We are geeking out here! Season 2 Episode 7 of Strange New Worlds 'Those Old Scientists' is one of the best Star Trek episodes ever put out and even Shannon who doesn't like animated anything was won over by Boimler and Mariner! It's that good.

Jake and Sean review 'Lost in Translation' and can't help but talk about the table scene where we see history being made. There is also a fair amount of prune juice equivalency in this episode - trust us, its a thing.

We're back and completely geeking out about the Spock, T'pring, Chapel love triangle and really think T'pring is the keeper here even though Sean loves Chapel with all his heart.

It's a fine day for a new episode of Strange New Worlds! Its actually pretty fitting that I almost forgot today was Star Trek watching day and Shannon couldn't remember the name of the episode as in this one everybody forgot everything anyway!

This was the episode Sean was waiting for! It had Time Travel, La'an, yoga pants, fights, explosions, and muscle cars. Shannon however was bored out of her mind. Go figure. As always it takes all kinds and we are here for it!

It was a courtroom drama this time on Strange New Worlds! Shannon was here for it because Una, Jake loved to see Erica be loyal and Spock "Outbursting" and Sean couldn't be bothered unless things were blowing up.

Welcome back to Strange New Worlds, we are so excited about season two and have just watched the first episode! It's a great day to be a Star Trek fan and away we go with drunk Vulcans, fighting doctors, and a stolen ship. Join us!

Captain Bubbles (A.K.A. Shannon) takes the Laris loss but the PB&J gain while her crew of Starfleet Section 35 Chief Commander Klinger (Jake) and Guest Star Chief Miles O'Brien (A.K.A. SP or StarPi from Voices Of Defiance and Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D.) discuss and review the Picard season 3 finale episode "The Last Generation." The crew run down all the wonderful Trek fan service and nostalgia, their favorite finale moments, The Next Generation's cast characters forward movement, what's left on the table for a future series like Star Trek Legacy, the season's writing, remaining plot holes, missed character opportunities, and their last fond farewell to the cast that's been in their hearts since 1987. 

Thank you so much for listening to our coverage of Picard Season 3. Strange New Worlds Fancast will return in June 2023 to cover Strange New Worlds season 2. Sean will return to reclaim his seat on the crew from SP then.

SP thanks all of you for your kindness as he stepped in for Sean during Shannon's recovery.

The trio have a lot of fun along the way and look forward to their opportunities to see the finale on IMAX (if it's available to them). Join the crew and let them know what you think.

Last Best Hope

Worf's ascendance to commanding the Enterprise is detailed in the canonical prequel novel, Star Trek: Picard: The Last Best Hope by Una McCormack.

When news of the Romulan supernova reached Starfleet, Picard was summoned to Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco. In a meeting with Commander-in-Chief Victor Bordson and Captain Kirsten Clancy (Ann Magnuson), Picard accepted a long-overdue promotion to Admiral in order to lead the Romulan rescue mission. But this meant Picard had to immediately relinquish command of his beloved Enterprise so, naturally, he suggested Worf, his current First Officer to become the new Captain. But Clancy balked at Worf getting the big chair and for good reason: the Klingon has a permanent black mark on his record. In the DS9 season 6 episode "Change of Heart", Worf allowed a Starfleet Intelligence operative to during a secret mission, choosing, instead, to rescue his injured wife Dax on the planet Soukara. Afterward, Captain Sisko told Worf that "[Starfleet will] probably never give you a command of your own after this."

Captain Clancy was correct to raise this disciplinary issue with Worf taking command of the Enterprise, which is the flagship of the United Federation of Planets. Picard argued for his First Officer's spotless record since that incident, which occurred almost a decade before this meeting. As to the question of Worf's judgment, Picard noted that the memory of that mistake makes Worf even more careful about his decision-making. Picard was also offended at the idea that he would select Worf to be his First Officer if he didn't think the Klingon was capable of being a worthy Captain someday.

Picard won the argument when he pointed out that a century prior, during the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the Klingons came to the Federation for help and they eventually became such staunch allies that a Klingon rose to the position of commanding the Federation flagship. Jean-Luc's point was that the Romulans could see the symbolism, which would help them understand what was possible in a long-term peace with the Federation. Clancy finally relented and she admitted that "The optics were good". With that, Admiral Picard officially relinquished command of the Enterprise to the newly-promoted Captain Worf.

SP's Top Gun Maverick Live Tweet:

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568325358943961088 The gratuitous opening carrier F-18 operations scene in Top Gun Maverick would have been a lot less action porn and a lot more story additive had the team for the mission been shown taking off and landing before cutting to Tom Cruise walking out of his hanger Airstream.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568325891394277376  It’s too bad Tom Cruise never actually lost anything in Top Gun Maverick. He won in every single situation and came out smelling like the good guy. Wheee was the loss? The sacrifice?

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568329487648948225 Tom Cruise’s recklessness in destroying the hypersonic Darkstar experimental plane in Top Gun Maverick was at least dereliction of duty and most likely Improper Hazarding of Aircraft. His ego and vanity did not match the reasoning. The personnel would have just been transferred

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568331101856301059 The scene in Tom Gun Maverick between Tom Cruise and Ed Harris was brilliant calling back to Ed’s John Glenn role in The Right Stuff. Ed tells Tom he should be a 2 star Admiral or a Senator. Glenn became an Ohio Senator and Ed was wearing 2 stars in the scene.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568331823372967937 The lack of F-35’s at Top Gun in Top Gun Maverick is … worrisome. 

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568333013087571969 I enjoyed Jon Hamm as Admiral “Cyclone” Simpson and Charles Parnell as Adm “Warlock” Bates in Top Gun Maverick but it would have been nice seeing Slider, Merlin or Wolfman from the 86 movie. Heck a nod to Ironside/Jester or Skerritt/Viper would have been nice too.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568333895728259079 The strike package selection for the mission in Top Gun was horrifying. The United States military possesses capabilities better suited for the job with less risk. Also the lack of consideration for human casualties at the facility is extremely unrealistic.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568334446033502210 The addition of Jennifer Connelly as Penny in Top Gun Maverick was a welcome sight and a fantastic tie to the 86 film. I loved the world building there. Although her car’s similarity to Charlie’s was not needed at all.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568335007097167874 The lack of a bar serenade in Top Gun Maverick was disappointing. Also the lack of flirting between Rooster and anyone was a missed opportunity for future chapters in the story. I believe this was a stupid decision by Tom Cruise to keep the attention on himself.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568335674020880387 Meg Ryan’s backstory in Top Gun Maverick was disappointing. Again, I believe this was done by Tom Cruise to keep the attention on himself.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568336210577301508 I’m struggling to understand how Hangman graduated top of his Top Gun class in Too Gun Maverick. His tactics and non team playing mindset would have gotten him low marks by the instructors.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568337040160202753 Why the enemy’s 5th Generation fighters couldn’t engage the F-18 strike package in Top Gun Maverick with Beyond Visual Range weapons is beyond me. That’s one of the keys for 5th Generation fighters.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568338030217289729 Technically Rooster’s helicopter shoot down in Top Gun Maverick is an air to air kill which puts him on par with Hangman.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568338249260613639 Let’s not even start about Tom Cruise flying the F-14 in Top Gun Maverick. Just. No.

But it was a deep good part of the film.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568338906180976642 Seeing Val Kilmer in Top Gun Maverick made up for a lot of what’s wrong in the film. It was well done with the exception of having the Pacific Fleet Commander not able to talk. He would be taken off of active duty. And we all know Iceman is the better pilot anyway. Sorry Tom.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568339340677316608 Having Penny not in the bar when Tom Cruise returned from the mission in Top Gun Maverick was unnecessary. I’m not really sure what the point to that was.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568339774372720640 For Top Gun III how about we see Rooster and Phoenix instruct Amelia at Top Gun?

Oh. And no Tom Cruise please.
