“Sleeping Dogs” 20th-anniversary reflections. When the NX-01 identifies a gas giant, Archer gets excited to investigate. But a disabled ship turns out to belong to the Klingons, and the third meeting with the warrior race goes about how we would expect. Being human, the crew attempts a rescue, but becomes trapped themselves, setting off a race that requires cooperation between the burgeoning adversaries. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore “Sleeping Dogs” and how Archer learns that, to deal with this adversary, he must start thinking like a Klingon. We also discuss character growth for Hoshi and T'Pol, how the entire crew is learning to work together, and how this story highlights the importance of trying to understand the other side.

Warp Five 215: Walk Softly and Carry a Big Stick

“The Broken Circle” Assuring Spock that he’ll do fine commanding the Enterprise for three days while the ship is docked at Starbase 1, Captain Pike sets off to help Number One, who has been arrested for concealing from Starfleet that she is a genetically enhanced Illyrian. Soon after Pike leaves, Uhura receives a distress call from La’an Noonien-Singh. The crew find La’an and help uncover and stop the plot of a syndicate called the Broken Circle, who aim to restart the Federation–Klingon War so they can hike up prices and profit by selling the planet’s rich dilithium deposits to both sides. And along the way, Spock experiences emotions. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing kick off Season 2 with a discussion of “The Broken Circle.” We look at the unexpected start to the season, with Pike quickly heading off on his own mission, how the story focuses on Spock’s character development as he grapples with the emotional repercussions of Season 1’s encounter with the Gorn, plus the writers’ flirtation with canon, some confusion at the very top over where the series falls on the Star Trek timeline, and why it doesn’t really matter when you have stories that are so much fun.

Voicing Audio Dramas with Michael Liebmann.

The genesis of stories, the ins and outs of scriptwriting, and the art of pulling all the pieces together is fascinating, but the voice actors themselves are the ones who bring the words of a Star Trek audio drama to life. In this episode of Continuing Mission we're joined by Michael Liebmann, who has appeared in nearly 30 Star Trek and non-Trek audio dramas, to learn about the process from the voice actors' perspective. Michael has appeared in Star Trek: Grissom, Valkyrie, Ranger, Defiant, Outpost, and many more, and we find out how his love of Star Trek led to these roles as well as some advice for those who want to take on roles of their own.

“The Nagus” 30th-anniversary reflections Having heard that some of Quark’s holosuite programs are quite alluring, Grand Nagus Zek, leader of the Ferengi Alliance, pays an unexpected visit to the station. As he shares his plans for Ferengi business expansion into the Gamma Quadrant, he also reveals that it’s time to retire and pass the golden staff to the next Grand Nagus: Quark. Zek’s sudden death puts a target on Quark’s back as Zek’s son, Krax, teams up with Rom for a power grab. In the end, Zek returns from the dead at just the right moment to save Quark’s life and teach Krax a lesson. And Rom, who understands that a Ferengi should never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity, gets a promotion to assistant manager for policy and clientele as a reward for his treachery.

What if Future Guy was a Romulan agent?

The Temporal Cold War was a promising, yet inconsistent storytelling device throughout the four seasons of Enterprise. Despite its many narrative challenges, the Temporal Cold War did provide the series with a few interesting world-building elements, in particular - the agents of the Temporal Accords; pawns of a greater and more far reaching endgame. So we have circled back to the Future Guy, trying to pierce his veil of mystery and that of the faction or agency for which he served. (cough) Tal'Shiar (cough)

During 2009's Star Trek VegasCon, former Enterprise show runners Manny Coto and Brannon Braga stated that Future Guy was trending towards being a Romulan agent because this would have created an opportunity to tie him into the famed Romulan War, instigating certain events in Archer's time. Years later, Braga tweeted in 2012, that Future Guy was supposed to be Archer all along - trying to right his own wrongs when he was Captain of the NX-01! Join us in the Conference Room as we delve deeper into what could have been the catalyst of the Romulan War!

The 602 Club S33: Dear Batman Letter

Time Loops. Ever have the feeling something has happened before? Maybe 54 times? Ever get the urge to throw on some Bee Gees and dance the night away …&nbsp;only to be interrupted by a fish? Yeah, neither have we. But it did happen to the crew of the USS Discovery—again and again—and to stay alive they had to con a con man. In this episode of Notes from The Edge, in which we deep-dive into connections between Star Trek: Discovery and the broader Star Trek universe, host C Bryan Jones shares his thoughts on “Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad”—particularly how it compares to “Cause and Effect” and other past time loop stories—and explores the music of the episode and previous instances of popular tunes in Star Trek.

257: BYOC (Build Your Own Chakotay)

Faces.&nbsp;&nbsp; Like many of us (except for Suzanne!), B'Elanna Torres struggles with an inner dual nature. In B'Elanna's case, the struggle consists of finding the balance between her Klingon side and her human side. When B'Elanna's two halves are split into two distinct people, one fully Klingon and the other fully human, this inner struggle is acted out dramatically on screen between the two B'Elannas.&nbsp;&nbsp; In this episode of&nbsp;To The Journey, hosts Suzanne Williamson and Zachary Fruhling discuss the many faces of "Faces," from B'Elanna's dual nature and Chakotay's inner Vidiian to Sulan's inner Hannibal Lecter. &nbsp; Chapters&nbsp; Intro (00:00:00)&nbsp; No, I Can't Relate to That (00:02:47)&nbsp; Corn and Ranch Dressing (00:07:43)&nbsp; Not DNA Again (00:14:59)&nbsp; Are Rabbits Rodents?

258: Macro-Micro Mitosis

Tom Paris Mini-Marathon.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of all the characters on&nbsp;Star Trek: Voyager, arguably Tom Paris had the biggest turnaround, from his character's beginning in a Federation penal colony in "Caretaker" to seeing the birth of his daughter in "Endgame." In this episode of&nbsp;To The Journey, hosts Zachary Fruhling and Suzanne Williamson compare their episodes picks for a three-episode Tom Paris mini-marathon. &nbsp; Chapters&nbsp; Intro (00:00:00)&nbsp; Strap Him to the Couch (00:02:09)&nbsp; It's Goofier Than Spock's Brain (00:04:42)&nbsp; The Tom Paris Story (00:09:07)&nbsp; In the Navy!

259: The Redemption of Tom Paris

Philosophical Themes in "The Cage."&nbsp;&nbsp; In the opening scenes of "The Cage," the unaired pilot episode of&nbsp;Star Trek: The Original Series, Captain Christopher Pike is having an existential crisis, feeling the weight of his responsibility as a starship captain, being responsible for the lives of the people under his command, and longing for a different kind of life (being home on Earth with a picnic lunch and horseback riding every day, or perhaps becoming an Orion trader). When Captain Pike is imprisoned by the Talosians and given the chance to have his every wish granted as an illusion, Captain Pike is forced to grapple with what he really wants in life and with the true nature of human happiness. &nbsp;  In this episode of&nbsp;Meta Treks, hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison discuss the philosophical themes in "The Cage," from the existential angst of free will, making choices, and the burdens of responsibility, to the importance of human freedom and free will, risks and rewards, and of looking to the future and setting a course for the next adventure. &nbsp;  Chapters&nbsp; Intro (00:01:19)&nbsp; Criticisms and Observations of The Cage (00:03:34)&nbsp; Alien Commentary (00:08:23)&nbsp; Zoo: Humans as a Lower Life form (00:14:04)&nbsp; Existential Tiredness (00:17:40)&nbsp; A Galaxy of Illusions to Choose From (00:30:18)&nbsp; The Pleasure Machine (00:35:43)&nbsp; The Worth of a Man's Soul (00:38:37)&nbsp; The New Adam and Eve (00:45:11)&nbsp; A Faustian Deal with the Devil (00:50:41)&nbsp; Free Will and the Human Condition (00:55:16)&nbsp; Aftermath of Talosian War (01:00:37)&nbsp; Final Thoughts About The Cage (01:07:06)&nbsp; Closing (01:14:09)&nbsp;&nbsp; Hosts&nbsp; Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morison&nbsp;&nbsp; Production&nbsp; Mike Morrison (Editor) Zachary Fruhling (Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Ken Tripp (Executive Producer) Patrick Devlin (Associate Producer) Kay Shaw (Associate Producer) Mark Walker (Associate Producer) Norman C.

89: Faustian Horseback Ride

The Q Continuum.&nbsp;&nbsp; From the&nbsp;The Original Series&nbsp;onward,&nbsp;Star Trek&nbsp;has had a preoccupation with false gods, culminating in the introduction of Q and the Q Continuum in&nbsp;Star Trek: The Next Generation. But although members of the Q Continuum have many of the properties usually ascribed to deities—such as omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, and so on—do they posses these qualities to sufficient degree to be considered genuine deities of the&nbsp;Star Trek&nbsp;universe? &nbsp;  In this episode of&nbsp;Meta Treks, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling give a philosophical analysis of the Q Continuum and the deity-like attributes of the Q. From paradoxes of omnipotence, such as the Q being powerful enough to create a prison another Q cannot break out of, to the many things the Q don't seem to know despite their supposed omniscience, Mike and Zachary debate, and perhaps debunk, the status of the Q as deities. &nbsp; Chapters&nbsp; Intro (00:01:19)&nbsp; Should We Consider the Q to be Deities?
