We're getting close to the end of our current Spotlight Series, looking at the Star Trek pilots, with Star Trek Picard's "Remembrance". This episode is our first look at Jean-Luc Picard since the end of Star Trek Nemesis. We know that this episode kicks off three seasons, reuniting the cast of TNG, for one final voyage. There is a lot of opinions on the first season of Picard, but one thing is certain: it was great seeing Patrick Stewart and the cast once again!

We continue our Spotlight Series, looking at the Star Trek pilots, with Prodigy's two part premiere "Lost & Found".

In this episode, we continue our Spotlight Series with Enterprise's "Broken Bow". Enterprise is the final legacy Star Trek series before we jump into 'New Trek'.

In this episode we continue our current Spotlight Series, Star Trek Pilots, with Deep Space Nine’s “Emissary”. Originally airing on January 3rd 1993, the third installment in the franchise was VASTLY different. Looked at as the “black sheep” of the franchise for a long time, Deep Space Nine’s fan base has grown exponentially in recent years due to binge watching during the pandemic, streaming services, and more. This incredible series begins in a very unexpected way. We cover all this and more on our look at Zach’s favorite Star Trek series! Additionally, at the request of one of our audience members, we also share our thoughts on the fan made AI short “765874 Unification”.
