Episode 91

Star Trek

Published on: 30th June, 2025

I know many of you out there have been clamoring for this, but I've been holding out on covering it, since watching Star Trek on a Star Trek podcast is a bit obvious. However, after being worn down by all of you, I have finally decided to give in and watch Star Trek on our show... you bunch of rubes. But will Star Trek live up to its lofty legacy? Will it make for a good episode on our Star Trek podcast? Only time will tell... or, only time travel will tell? Whatever, let's just get this over with and watch the first movie of this rebooted Star Trek film trilogy.

This is the beginning of the final part of our 100 episode list, Venturing Through 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 Modern Trek--the franchise's big splashy return after the end of its golden age. This will be a ten-episode selection comprised of the beginnings of all the different series of this era: Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Short Treks, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, as well as one of the movies of the reboot film trilogy, all spanning from 2009-2022.

Episode discussion starts at 32:51.

Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Jennie Beal, with Toby Simmons, Natty Taylor, and Dallas Fawson.

About the Podcast

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!
