Part 1 of our 4 part mini-series where we look at how Star Trek deals with War! In this first part, Will leads the 10Backwards crew on a journey through war as depicted in The Original Series.

10Backward takes an experimental foray into the world of The Animated Series! We randomly select one episode to watch and then after watching, have a discussion about it. Easy!

In this episode, the guys discuss the USS Voyager’s 1st officer, Chakotay, who they generally remember as being a bit boring. Is this fair though? Was he actually a decent First Officer and a fair depiction of a Native American in space?

We find out what they think now that they’re older, maybe a bit wiser, and have watched some VOY episodes that put him in the centre of the plot

The 10Backward crew discuss ‘Tropes’. Those recurring themes, frequent occurrences that crop up in Trek. In what might well become a recurring subject, (our own Trope!) Richard, Will and Rick have each picked a Trope to talk through. So tune in and be regaled with the stories of Off-screen battles, the travails of Harry Kim’s doomed love life and Holodeck malfunctions.

Star Trek Nemesis… a much maligned final entry into the TNG film series. Did it kill the franchise? Well, always ones to take a different path, the 10Backward crew attempt to mount a defence for Nemesis. Maybe killing the Franchise is a bit more complex than one film. Maybe there’s other factors affecting the box office. Maybe the story has hidden depths… Do we succeed? Listen to find out!

Yes, we have release a special supplemental episode to capture our thoughts on the release of the trailer for Discovery.

We are all excited about Star Trek Discovery! So what do we know so far? Rick gives us his rundown of the events up to early May 2017 and Will and Richard join in with all their hopes for the new series. As always, the hardest battle is staying on subject!

Please note, due to our schedule, some more casting news came out almost immediately after recording and even bigger reveals were made just the day before release with the trailer further news. We will be releasing an addendum special episode to keep up to date shortly. This will be a regular release to keep on top of all Discovery news up to release.

Much like Kelvin-verse’s Kirk’s journey wasn’t able to be contained in one film, our examinstion of the Kelvin-verse has spilled over into a 2nd episode! So enjoy part two of our examination of the 3 Kelvin-verse films where we cover Into Darkness and Beyond. It does start to become obvious that this was the 3rd recording we made in one evening and we did have some ales…

The Kelvin-verse. The alternate universe created by Nero’s time travelling shenanigans, where we join our beloved characters in a time where they are younger, special effects are bigger and lens flares are everywhere! Join our intrepid 10Backward crew as they examine this re-creation of the beloved original series in the 2009 Star Trek and aim to make the ultimate judgement once and for all whether they are good or plop-plops!
