Star Trek Stories

About Star Trek Stories

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 are currently in Phase II of our podcast, which we have titled "Spinning Off Into The Unknown." In this phase, we're exploring the larger franchise beyond the world of its most popular incarnation, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and examining how all the other shows approach their own unique takes on Star Trek. We'll go on adventures with Lieutenant Arex, listen to Kate Mulgrew laugh in the faces of her male co-stars, and see if Michael Burnham can ever truly find redemption. Covering the good, the bad, and the ugly, we'll get a look at just about everything Star Trek has to offer (except for TNG and Picard). So grab your headphones, cue up an episode, and get lost in a silly little Star Trek story with us. Make it so! Created by Jaron Hatch and Aaron Cole.

   Reflections on The Other Star Trek Shows

   And so we come to the end of our first batch episodes from Phase II. We have given our Star Trek initiate a taste of the non-TNG shows, and now it's finally time for them to rank them all from least to most interested to continue. What will the results be?

   "Children of the Comet"

   It's time for Children of the Corn... In Space!!! Nah, just kidding. It's just basic ole' Star Trek. And basic is right, because we like to call this series the "the blender Star Trek show," the one where if you mix up all the other ones, you get this. But does that make it too bland? Too safe? Too mediocre? Or this is actually the best show, the one with all of the franchise's greatest elements? Only time will tell. Until then, let's watch this humdinger episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Episode discussion starts at 18:06. This is the final episode in our look at The Other Star Trek Shows. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Ellen Lewis, & Marc Nielson. Email: storiedstartrek@gmail.com Discord: https://discord.gg/6ynq25Zvkh

   "Babel"

   This is the series that would see the Star Trek franchise ascend to the heavens... or at least it would eventually. In the early days of this towering new project, the studio execs confounded the languages of the creators, and there was much confusion as to what the series was supposed to be. But even in those unsure times, was there was yet a glimmer of hope that the creative heights would still be reached? Let's find out by trying to make sense of this early episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Episode discussion starts at 17:18. This is episode 8/9 in our look at The Other Star Trek Shows.
