The News from TrekNews.net: 11/17/2022 Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

Bill and Dan discuss the cancellation of Star Trek: Mission Seattle by ReedPOP, the officially licensed producer of Star Trek conventions in the United States.

Dr. Erin & My First Book of Space Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

Our good friend Dr. Erin Macdonald returns to The Flagship to talk about her new book--and it's not what you might expect!

Sure, she's an astrophysicist and an official Star Trek science advisor, but she's penned her very first children's book titled "My First Book of Space" and it explains things in space to kids. It also features original illustrations set against real photographs of space, which will let kids see space like they never have before (and get a little Star Trek in their lives)!

Plus, she'll answer the question of why the crew of the Protostar doesn't turn into lizards when they travel really fast--and it actually makes sense to Bill and Dan! (No, really...)

Prey Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

Bill & Dan have talked about a LOT of Star Trek in almost 8 years. Every now and then they forget that they've discussed a particular episode but, this time, they forget WHY they wanted to talk about an episode.

They'll look at Voyager's "Prey" from Season 4 which features a performance by the wonderful Tony Todd, as well as some standout tension between Seven and Janeway.

Oh, and there are a LOT of corridor walk-and-talks in this episode. No, seriously. Like way too many.

While they certainly had no idea why this was on the schedule, they sure do find a lot to discuss in this week's episode of The Flagship!

Picard Season 2 Recap Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

This week, Bill and Dan take a look at the second (and penultimate) season of Star Trek: Picard!

Forced into an alternate timeline by the return of Q, Picard and crew must travel back to the 21st Century to protect an ancestor and protect the future that they know. Oh, and there's the Borg Queen, so you know some serious *BLEEP* is going to happen there.

It was a season that had a lot going on, and we'll try to make sense of it all--and we'll tell you how we'd rate it, and the answers might surprise you!

Plus, Lew from FanSets stops by for an extended conversation about their new pin lines and drops an exclusive announcement on their special 2022 Holiday Pin (pending licensing approval)!

And stick around after the closing theme for the longest after-show conversation ever with a special cameo by Bill's wife, Kelly--all in this week's episode of The Flagship!

Defending Spock's Brain Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

Ask a lot of long-time fans of the original Star Trek what the worst episode of the series is and, odds are, you'll get a response like this: "UGH....Spock's Brain!"

This much-maligned season 3 premiere of TOS has been beaten up for decades and, this week, Bill and Dan stand up in defense of this installment. Find out why this is an episode they love and why they think you need to watch it again.

So, strap on that Teacher helmet and learn a whole bunch of reasons to fall in love with this very campy yet high-concept episode of Star Trek this week on The Flagship!

The News From TrekNews.net: Week of Sept. 30, 2022 Sep 30, 2022

Show notes

Dan and Bill discuss the 35th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the off-again 4th Kelvin Timeline movie, revisiting Deep Space Nine, and the death of Academy Award winning actress Louise Fletcher.

David Livingston Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

This week, Bill and Dan welcome Star Trek royalty to the Trek Geeks Podcast!

He's helmed a record 62 episodes of Star Trek across The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise. He's even directed the episode we refer to as "Star Trek's Finest Hour," DS9's "The Visitor," from Season 4.

We are thrilled to be joined this week by our very good friend, David Livingston for a discussion about his time on Star Trek, the gift that was "The Visitor," the Hollywood Food Coalition, and meeting David Livingston cosplayers at Trek conventions!

We hope you'll join us for an incredibly fun and enlightening discussion!

56 Year Mission Recap Sep 15, 2022

Show notes

This week, Bill & Dan review their first Vegas convention in over three years as they recap the goings on at the 56 Year Mission Convention which took place a couple of weeks ago.

What went right, what went wrong, and what was up with that live music at the FanGeeks Party, anyway? They'll talk about it all and how they hope next year's return to the Rio All Suites Hotel brings back some qualities this year's show was apparently lacking.

All things considered, we still want to thank Creation Entertainment for the great show they put on. As life gets closer to normal in some ways, it's good to be able to come together with our Trek Family.

LIVE FROM VEGAS: Stump the Geek Sep 08, 2022

Show notes

For the first time ever, Bill & Dan had one of their legendary Stump the Geek contests live on the Las Vegas Strip as part of Creation Entertainment's 56 Year Mission Convention at Bally's Hotel and Casino!

Ten questions. One massive bonus. Eleven lucky winners---and one panel-crashing Denobulan?!

Join the Trek Geeks in Vegas and special surprise guest John Billingsley from Star Trek: Enterprise as they engage in the first-ever Stump the Geek LIVE!

The Royale Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

After more than 3 years, Bill and Dan FINALLY return to the Vegas Star Trek Convention, and to kick off their trip, they're looking at one of TNG's Season 2 episodes!

Five years ago, they reviewed TNG's second season in a See It or Skip It episode. Both Bill and Dan gave "The Royale" a big SKIP IT! Now, they look at this casino-themed episode and explain why their views on it have changed! Plus, how would they rate it today?

Find out in this week's episode of The Flagship! VIVA LAS VEGAS!
