So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
It's been a long road, starting from 2016, with the first episode of Ceti Alpha 3. The trio now find a way to escape from being stranded on their planet and their endless discussion of all things Star Trek. Join the discussion as they look back at previous discussions, from what if Thomas Riker was in season seven of 'The Next Generation'? to writing their own new series starring Starfleet admirals playing space golf. Darren, Daniel, and Phillip also look to the Star Trek future, their podcast journey through the Kurtzman Era of series, and how fun it is to always talk Trek.
Lower Decks' Last Season
Another Star Trek series has come to an end. It's odd to think how many Star Trek shows, post-Discovery, fought for our attention. But the third "new" Kutzman-era series has now officialy ended with the finale of "Star Trek: Lower Decks." The trio portal through the last few episode of the season, sharing what made them laugh, the many reference to Trek trivia, and how that last episode hit them. How did this animated show affect the franchise we all love? Speaking of finales - the trio also announces that this will be the penultimate episode of Ceti Alpha 3. The next episode will serve as the last for this trio, both under this banner and as podcast hosts who have been talking Trek for over a decade.
Holidays in the Star Trek Universe
As 21st Century Earth approaches the festive season, the trio ask - what are the holidays of the Star Trek future? Throughout many series, we have seen small references to our current holidays. How are they celebrated by Starfleet personnel? Has the meaning changed? And outside of Terran culture - what holidays have we seen on screen? And what others must also exist? Join us in a celebration of holidays past, holidays present, and holidays yet to come!
Star Trek Movie Posters
What better discussion to have on an audio podcast than the review of Star Trek visuals? The trio takes a journey into the wayback machine to review all the movie posters from the 13 feature films in the franchise (6 TOS, 4 TNG, and 3 Kelvin-verse) - with a bonus add-on for the upcoming "Section 31" TV movie. How were all these movies advertised? Especially in the age when movie trailers could only be found at movie theatres? What "spoilers" did the posters give? How much did they lie to us? What could have been improved? Which ones remain your favorite? Make space on your wall and join the discussion about Trek's movie posters.

New-New Trek Favorite Characters
With Trek fans "of a certain age", it can be tempting for your list of favorite characters to be cemented from the 1990s and earlier. In order to shake things up, the trio look at post-JJ films era of television series and pick their favorite characters from "Discovery," "Lower Decks," "Prodigy," "Strange, New Worlds" and "Picard". Which characters stand out the most from each series? What about "secondary" characters who we enjoy? Do any of this "new crop" of adventurers take the place of our old top 10 favorite characters? Who did we wish we could see more of? Log into Paramount+ and let us know your top 5 characters from the 21st Century-produced shows. |
