26 Jun 2020Unlocking the Cage01:13:07

In February 1965, Gene Roddenberry tested the original Star Trek pilot, "The Cage," for NBC. The network ultimately would pass on "The Cage" and Captain Pike, but would order a new Pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before." The rest is history.

On this week's episode, Brittany takes the Captain's chair and asks the question, why didn't "The Cage" work? The crew take a deep dive into the episode as they attempt to unlock the mysteries and fumbles surrounding the failed episode.

Plus, we unveil our new partnership with Logical Coffee Roasters and welcome Matt Bailey to the show to talk all things coffee. The mailbag is also open and much more in "Unlocking the Cage."

28 Feb 2022Trek Untold - Locutus of Borg: Jean-Luc Picard and Trauma | Captain Picard Week00:52:23

The damage of the Borg goes far beyond the remnants of starships at Wolf 359 and left deep scars on Jean-Luc Picard both mentally and physically. The traumatic experience of being abducted, violated, and utterly powerless filled the Captain with feelings that took him years to work through, some of which will likely be explored in the upcoming new seasons of Picard.

Trek Untold's Matthew Kaplowitz is joined by Jeff Akin of the Starfleet Leadership Academy Podcast and Michael Hough AKA Hawk from Strange New Pod for a discussion on the events that transformed Picard into Locutus and back again, the difficult feelings he contended with after, how one heals from times like that, and much more.

20 May 2022SNW "Ghosts of Illyria" Review w/ Matthew Kaplowitz01:45:30

They say good things come in threes, but Strange New Worlds' third episode of its freshman season, "Ghosts of Illyria," seems to be the most polarizing episode among the SNP crew so far.  Joining the team this week to help them break this one down: Matthew Kaplowitz from Trek Untold.

LIGHT! We need more light!! Ghosts of Illyria is an awesome Una-centered episode that pays homage to classic TOS episodes "Naked Time" and "The Naked Now," as well as a couple of classic horror episodes. How does Number One handle this out-of-control pathogen aboard Enterprise while Pike and Spock are stranded on the planet below? Why was this episode so well received by some, but maybe a bit of a miss to others?

Plus, the crew member of the week, the redshirt counter, which spoilers, is still at zero. All that and more on another edition of Strange New Pod.

12 Feb 2023The Random Redshirt Podcast - The Finest Crew in the Fleet | Captain Picard Week II01:29:04

Captain Picard was a great Captain. Arguably the greatest (sorry Kirk fans). Or was he? Did he allow a little too much leeway with his senior staff, or was he too hard on them?

Why was Riker so drawn to pass up command after command to stay on the Enterprise? Did Picard have the perfect balance of nurturing with good order and discipline?

We will answer all this and more with some great thoughts provided by The Random Redshirt Podcast!
