Episode 85

"Broken Bow"

Published on: 24th February, 2025

Whelp, folks, here we are... the end of an era. The franchise has had an incredible run up until this point, but if you were here for our Voyager coverage, you know it's started to lose its aim. Does the franchise have any more shots left to shoot? Or is the quiver finally empty? The title of today's episode doesn't inspire me with much confidence, but perhaps our Star Trek arrow will surprise us yet. Hold your breath and watch, as we let fly this premiere episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.

This is the beginning of part seven of our 100 episode list, Venturing Out Into The Universe, in which we're examining how the Star Trek franchise has grown and changed over its history. In this chunk of episodes, we're going to be looking at The Waning Enterprise--the attempt to revitalize the franchise at the tail end of its golden age. This will be a six-episode selection comprised of episodes from the first season of Star Trek: Enterprise (2001), as well as one of the movies from The Next Generation Film Series.

Episode discussion starts at 23:58.

Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Marc Nielsen, with Michael Gibson and Amanda Hodges.

Star Trek Stories
A Watch-Along Podcast
A podcast where we hang out with friends, watch episodes from across the Star Trek franchise, and chat about them!

This is a show for both newcomers and long-time fans alike, as part of we what do here is explore perspectives on Star Trek and storytelling in general. We're currently watching through a curated 100 episode list titled "Venturing Through The Universe." In this list, we're exploring how the Star Trek franchise has grown and changed over the decades, beginning with its origins in 1964 and seeing where it ends up in the modern day. We'll go on adventures with Mister Spock, listen to Patrick Stewart wax philosophically about humanity, and see how high Captain Pike's towering pompadour can get. Covering the good, the bad, and the ugly, we'll get a look at just about everything Star Trek has to offer. So grab your headphones, cue up an episode, and get lost in a silly little Star Trek story with us. Make it so!
