Fallen Hero Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

Discovering Trek listeners things are a bit different in this episode because the Vulcans need a favor from Starfleet. T'Pol and her childhood "not hero" meet again and can Archer sell the ole fake out?

In this episode, Co-hosts Sara and Kasey talk about all that plus the hero worship by T'Pol and her effect on the Ambassador.

Sara and Kasey hope you'll join them on Discovering Trek: Enterprise for an awkward handshake and explore the First Frontier with us!

Show notes

Discovering Trek listeners… "it slimed me." Insulting your guests during first contact, having a stowaway that's sticky and slimy and crewmembers becoming part of a sentient web like creature are what this episode is all about.

In this episode, Co-hosts Sara and Kasey talk about all that and was this a Trek attempt to use a little alien homage? Maybe, because this episode made me wanna scream into space.

Sara and Kasey hope you'll join them on Discovering Trek: Enterprise for some marshmallowy talk. Come explore the First Frontier with us!

Show notes

This week on Star Trek: Lower Decks, while Boimler and Rutherford are a little concerned that Mariner may a Section 31 Operative, they all go on an away mission and find a bunch of Ferengi trying to make profit off Mugatos. When all the Mugatos escape, they - well, you just have to see it to believe it!

Show notes

Oh boy. Discovering Trek listeners, join us as we learn a lot more about the Suliban. Not everyone has yellow eyes or genetic augmentation, as Archer and the crew find out. Travis and the Captain make a not so great first contact, but eyes and ears are gradually opened. A rescue mission and jail break? And hey, doesn't Grat look familiar? Ziggy would give ya great odds on that.

In this episode, Co-hosts Sara and Kasey talk about all that plus the simmering effects 9/11 had on the writing of the first season of Enterprise.

Sara and Kasey hope you'll join them on Discovering Trek: Enterprise for a bite to eat, preconceived notions to be challenged and some curious discussion. Come explore the First Frontier with us!

Show notes

Acquisition Aug 16, 2021

Show notes

Discovering Trek Listeners in this episode in the year 2151 the Ferengi, lobes a blazen, drop in to scavenge anything and everything on the ship. An adventure that starts off a bit scary and sinister but turns out to be a mostly fun romp with some old Trek friends dropping in. Krem states that there were 173 Rules of Acquisition. Maybe one of those is how to acquire a story that busts all continuity to smithereens?

This episode, Co-Hosts Sara and Kasey discuss all this plus seeing old friends in kinda new faces, not knowing how to pack a pie "to go" can get messy and did we just meet a Ferengi "Fredo?"

Sara and Kasey hope you'll join them for a bit of greedy goodness and profits to be split on Discovering Trek: Enterprise. Come explore the First Frontier with us!
