Our Top 5 Aug 12, 2022

Show notes

With the Vegas convention on the horizon, we take a look at a topic that you can generally hear in casual conversation--our favorite episodes of Star Trek!

Everyone has their own list, and in this episode of The Flagship, you'll hear ours! These are the episodes we each think are the five all-time best episodes of Star Trek, plus a list of honorable mentions. How does our list compare to yours? Let us know!!

In Memoriam: Nichelle Nichols Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

This week, Dan and Bill recall the life, career, and legacy of Nichelle Nichols who passed away at the age of 89 on July 31, 2022.

The Tholian Web Jul 21, 2022

Show notes

Bill and Dan return to The Flagship with a look at a classic episode from the original Star Trek!

Season 3 saw Captain Kirk trapped in a different universe after investigating what killed the crew of the U.S.S. Defiant. He can't get back to the Enterprise in time and the crew has precious few chances to get him back in one of Dan's favorite episodes, "The Tholian Web!"

We'll look at why this episode is one of Season 3's best, what bothers us about it, and some of the times this episode has been revisited in later Treks.

We also announce a return to weekly episodes of The Flagship! HUZZAH!!

The News from TrekNews.net: Week of 7/7/2022 Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

This week, it's the return of The News from TrekNews.net: Prodigy premieres on Nickelodeon, Creation announces no discount tickets this year, even more guests for Vegas, and the Season Finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!

The "Problem" with Discovery Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

Back in May, Bill wrote an op-ed style piece for TrekNews.net titled, "Star Trek: Discovery Has Problems (& How They Can Be Fixed)," which was a constructive look at the issues many fans feel that Discovery has as far as crisis fatigue.

It was an article that caused a lot of discussion and, this week, Bill and Dan return to break down the points the article makes and discuss how this enormously successful show might improve.

The Search for Spock Jun 02, 2022

Show notes

Dan and Bill return to The Flagship this week to discuss the third Star Trek film--the feature film directorial debut of Leonard Nimoy, "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock!"

This is a movie that the Trek Geeks have been split on over the years and, in this episode, they'll discuss why.

From casting, to script, to memorable scenes and what may just be William Shatner's finest performance in Star Trek, they'll cover it all this week on Trek Geeks!

Strange New Worlds May 19, 2022

Show notes

SPOILER ALERT!

This week, Bill and Dan look at the debut of the latest live action Star Trek series, "Strange New Worlds!" Normally this is a topic reserved for Discovering Trek, but with all of the acclaim the series has received from fans and critics alike, they couldn't help but talk about it on this installment of The Flagship!

In addition to talking about the characters, they'll also discuss highlights from the series' first two episodes, "Strange New Worlds," and "Children of the Comet."

If you HAVEN'T watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds yet, you might want to wait until you do before you dive in on this episode!

Plus, news about FanGeeks Party 2022 in Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada that you're not going to want to miss!
