The hosts of A Star to Steer Her By take on Trek-adjacent topics, fanfic, movies, shows, and other exciting episodes!

Ten Forward: Recreational Facility

It's another between-series break, and what better way to buffer the time travel heavy "Voyager" finale and the start of the Temporal Cold War flavored "Enterprise" than to finish watching the "Back to the Future" trilogy? This week it's Part II, famous for hoverboards, missing costars, and going a bit meta about sequel mechanics!
Also this week: Zemeckis and tech, "developing" Marty, and a shocking Biff/Trump revelation!

SSHB Ten Forwards

Ten Forward 32: Back to the Future Part II

Wait, what's going on?! Well, we've mentioned it a few times before, but we've finally done it: it's our first Ten Forward, where we're going to go anywhere from slightly to VERY off-topic. This week, it's somewhere in the middle as we take a detour into "Star Wars" and its first anthology film, "Rogue One"! SPOILERS GALORE for that one. Seriously, we ruin the ending within 5 minutes. You've been warned. We also freely discuss a lot of the rest of the franchise, tho I don't THINK we give away anything earth-shattering.
Also this week: Jake gets mad at a prequel, Caitlin gets mad at attempted humor, Chris gets annoyed at lazy acting, and Ames doesn't get cross at anyone or anything, tho she might have regrets about having tried to take notes in a darkened theater.

Ten Forward 01 Rogue One

In our second Ten Forward, your stalwarts are engaging in the time-honored nerd tradition of fanfiction! We've broken into the House That Gene Built and we're pinching the best stuff inside to bring you tales of murder, mayhem, lust, and clouds! 
Content warning: implied domestic abuse, very sexually explicit imagery, questionable accents.

Timestamps: "Sentient Life" by Ames: 2:48; "The Heir" by Chris: 17:50; "Where No Man Has Gone Before" by Caitlin: 31:49; "Assignment: Terra" by Jake: 46:27

Ten Forward 02 Tales From The Holodeck 01

We've been talking about it since day one, and here it finally is: the TOS Love Letter episode of "Futurama," featuring almost all the then-surviving members of the cast reprising their roles and more references than you can shake a fing-longer at!
Also this week: Frakes' directing, Worf's dandruff, and Ames' reasons.

Ten Forward 03 Futurama - Where No Fan Has Gone Before

"Star Trek" is back! Well, maybe it is, depending on your definition. While we won't be covering the whole thing live, we're taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming this week to give our first impressions on "The Vulcan Hello" and "Battle at the Binary Stars"! Spoilers everywhere, as we're assuming you've watched them. If not, please come back as soon as you have!
Also this week: new (regrettable) streaming platforms, new Vulcan BS, and new Klingons!
[note: if you don't want to listen to us moan about CBS All-Access, that bit goes from 2:55 to 9:21]

Ten Forward 04 Discovery Premiere

By Grabthar's hammer...what a movie! It's time for us to talk "Galaxy Quest," the definitive love letter to/paraody of "Star Trek"! Jason Nesmith, the washed-up, Shatner-esque lead of sci-fi series "Galaxy Quest" is unwittingly tasked by actual aliens who have based their entire society on his series to save their species from a genocidal alien warlord. He ropes his former castmates in, but they soon find that there's rather a big difference between playing and being space heroes. Boasting an impressive cast and a damn-near perfect script, "Galaxy Quest" has become a must-see for any "Trek" fan.
Also this week: whitewashing, original cast and crew, and the importance of fandom.

Ten Forward 05 Galaxy Quest

New episodes every Thursday!

Podcasts: a frontier that isn't actually very final at all. These are the voyages of the podcast A Star to Steer Her By. Our continuing mission: to watch every single episode of Star Trek (even the dumb ones), to comment on and snark at whatever suits our fancy, to boldly split infinitives that no man has split before. 

Follow our crew of Chris, Jake, Ames, and Caitlin as we explore the universe of Trek, go on wild tangents, crack wise, and make more fart jokes than necessary.
