| Open Pike FRIGHT! - Halloween Special 2025 | 28 Oct 2025 | 01:51:59 | |
It’s a Halloween variety show, Open Pike style! 🎃 First, the crew beams down to discuss Star Trek: The Original Series classic “Catspaw”—a spooky, campy delight filled with cobwebs, castles, and that darn cat. Not to mention one of the best puns in Star Trek history! Then, Strange New Worlds writers Alan B. McElroy (“Terrarium”) and Kathryn Lyn (“What is Starfleet”) return for a Horror Trope Roundtable! We each share our favorite: Zombies, Horror Icons, Survivors, Endings, and Unsung Gems. Plus we talk The Shining trauma, loving happy endings (but never picking them), movie swaps with new partners, casting regrets, and first spec scripts.

| Strange New WORDS - "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" with Bill Wolkoff and David Reed | 14 Aug 2025 | 01:04:20 | |
Writers David Reed and Bill Wolkoff beam aboard to break down Strange New Worlds’ thrill ride, “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail.” We dig into Carol Kane’s wonderfully quirky process, bemoan the missing item from Pelia’s room, and unpack the twist that turned the episode from good to unforgettable. Along the way we all want a ride on Scotty’s handlebars, uncover the challenges of building a story that balances comedy and stakes, and—naturally—explore the surprisingly tricky task of picking the perfect personal massager. It’s a behind-the-scenes deep dive full of laughs, reveals, and a few eyebrow-raising moments you won’t want to miss.

Writer Davy Perez returns to Open Pike Night to break down Strange New Worlds Season 3, Episode 5: “Through the Lens of Time”—a Lovecraftian horror adventure that’s part Indiana Jones, part escape room, and 100% Trek. We discuss Ensign Gamble's day out, naming evil aliens, and Pelia’s surprising dating history. Plus: our favorite lines, happy little accidents, and how absolutely merciless Davy is when it comes to the physical and emotional well-being of Starfleet officers. It’s a deep dive through space, time, and a few very weird doorways.
