Enterprise "Cease Fire" watch party with JEFF COMBS | S02 E15 Sep 20, 2026

Show notes

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer -- and special guest, Mr. Jeff Combs himself -- watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Cease Fire".
We're so lucky to have Jeff in for this Shran-centric episode, where the groundwork is laid for the special and enduring relationship between Shran and Archer. We come across the Andorians in a territorial dispute with the Vulcans, which escalates to the point that Shran calls upon his Captain buddy to negotiate a truce. But when Archer's shuttle is shot down with Ambassador Soval inside, the fingers are pointed every which way while the wounded away team negotiates the hostile war zone.

Enterprise "Stigma" watch party with DAVID LIVINGSTON | S02 E14 Sep 13, 2026

Show notes

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating -- and special guest, director David Livingston -- watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Stigma".
It's an early 2000s ambitious AIDS allegory centered on T'Pol, who is facing ostracization from the Vulcan High Command after contracting Pa'nar Syndrome, a neurological condition transmitted solely by a stigmatized minority: those who can mind meld. We follow Archer and Phlox as they fight against systemic prejudice to protect T'Pol's position on the ship. Humanity once again proves itself more tolerant than the Vulcans... *sips tea*

Enterprise "Dawn" watch party | S02 E13 May 24, 2026

Show notes

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Dawn".
Or as we're calling it: Darmok Part II: Electric Boogaloo!
After crash-landing on a freezing planet with an alien who wants him dead, Trip is forced into the world’s angriest survival camping trip. Somewhere between the hypothermia, mutual hatred, and inability to communicate, the two slowly stumble toward understanding, proving once again that Star Trek loves putting people in life-threatening situations to teach them tolerance.

Marvin Rush May 17, 2026

Show notes

Marvin Rush joins us this week on The D-Con Chamber for a wide-ranging conversation about his extraordinary career behind the camera.
Best known to Trek fans for helping define the look of The Next Generation era and for directing episodes like Voyager’s “The Thaw” and Enterprise’s “In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II” and “Terra Prime,” Marvin opens up to Connor and Dominic in a way that surprised even us. What starts as a conversation about cinematography quickly turns into stories about the people, pressures, creative decisions, and strange moments that shaped decades of television history.
We also spend time talking about his work outside of Star Trek, the changing nature of filmmaking, and what it was really like working through some of the biggest shifts in television production over the years.

Enterprise "The Catwalk" watch party | S02 E12 May 10, 2026

Show notes

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "The Catwalk". This is a tightly-written Sussman/Strong episode that sees the whole crew of the Enterprise, some alien refugees, and a number of resident animals (including dear Porthos) take refuge in the crawlspace that runs the length of each nacelle. Dealing with the massive radiation storm in space would be bad enough, but if the alien militia trying to take over Enterprise doesn't destroy them all, their cabin fever will!

Enterprise "Precious Cargo" watch party | S02 E11 May 09, 2026

Show notes

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Precious Cargo". It's Enterprise's take on "The African Queen", guest starring Padma Lakshmi, of "Top Chef" fame. Trip finds out that the cargo is a kidnapped royal heir, and a hectic rescue-romance ensues, culminating in an actual swamp. But you won't catch Connor in that marshy water twice... not if his ears have anything to say about it!

Enterprise "Vanishing Point" watch party with DAVID STRAITON | S02 E10 Apr 26, 2026

Show notes

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Vanishing Point", joined by the episode's director, David Straiton. It's Linda Park's time to shine as, ironically, Hoshi gradually fades away in this half-horror, half-mystery. Will the translator end up losing her voice forever, and be spoken of in hushed tones as the next Cyrus Ramsey? (To be sure, as Trek transporter mishaps go, this one is actually one of the less gruesome...)

Show notes

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Singularity", joined by the episode's writer, Chris Black. REED ALERT!!!

Join us for T'Pol's point of view when as she lives her worst nightmare -- literally being the only sane one on this starship.
