Promenade Merchants: A Star Trek Podcast

We have received our orders from Control, and we have executed the game plan.

Heather & David talk about what brought the brand new movie “Star Trek: Section 31” to fruition, from its original concept from Deep Space Nine to its premiere on Paramount+ on Januar 24.

We give our review and reaction on the much, much, MUCH discussed film. The good, the bad and the ‘meh’.

What does it mean for the Star Trek franchise going forward? Will this movie be a one-off? Is it really worth as much heated conversation as it has spawned? And what even *IS* Star Trek?

We’ve had a rough spell recently.

But we are back. Promenade Merchants Podcast lives.

David has a new Trekkie adventure up in his future, and he can’t wait to go boldly.

Later, we say our farewell to Lower Decks. We talk about our feelings on the crew of the USS Cerritos and five years of the wildest of missions across the Alpha Quadrant. All Hands, Brace For Weird!

But what does this mean for the future of Star Trek? Heather and David discuss everything from Starfleet Academy to the business happenings at Paramount in Upcoming business.

(Production Note: David here. We recorded this before Geeks and Nerds for Harris and Walz. I was fighting with my webhosting company for a bit. Apologies for the temporal anomaly.)

If you had control of the Star Trek franchise for the next ten years, what would you do? Heather and David go over their wishlists if Alex Kurtzman were to give them the book.

We wrap up our discussion on Star Trek Prodigy Season 2. Spoilers: We loved it! Netflix, you’d be fools not to greenlight a 3rd season. Damned fools.

In Upcoming Business, we look at the 2024 Election here in the United States. Geeks Nerds and Trekkies from all walks are going in one direction. And we are not going back.

The crew of the USS Protostar deal with Tribbles of varying sizes, and David finally comes to appreciate Jankem Pog for good.

A moment in the mirror universe gave Heather a touch of the ick, and we both wonder how a kid’s show is doing so much stuff like this.

But Star Trek Prodigy is so much more than a kid’s show.

We continue our non-binged discussion of Season 2 of Star Trek Prodigy. And we finally come to an episode that David was waiting for Heather to see. Coincidentally right after the Intergalactic Friendship Day at San Diego Comic Con.

The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #88: Star Trek Prodigy S2, Episodes 9-12 appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

Heather’s 8 episodes through Season 2 of Star Trek Prodigy, and business is beginning to pick up.

Plus, all the Star Trek news from San Diego Comic Con 2024, and yes. We WILL be talking about the Strange New Worlds trailer, both Heather and David have opinions.

Heather and David (sans one microphone) are back.

Star Trek Prodigy Season 2 is out on Netflix and has taken Trekkies by storm.

We do a mostly spoiler-free talk about Season 2, but go through the first four episodes.

In Upcoming Business, David mentions a couple of the stories about San Diego Comic Con, but does not give Heather any spoilers. Or tries not to.

Star Trek Discovery’s fifth and final season has concluded. And we celebrate them as they deserve. We give one final big send off to the catalyst of our modern Latinum Age of Star Trek.

But not without someone who knows Star Trek Discovery in and out! So, we welcomed noted Trekkie podcast guest Jordan La Fordan for our 85th episode.

For Old Business, we talk about the final seasons of Legacy Star Trek, and you really don’t have to think too hard to guess which one David chose. Heather and Jordan do some deep diving.

And in  Upcoming Business, Jordan has some news on Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 3 from Trek Long Island, and we have one (and soon to be two after this was recorded) cast announcement for Starfleet Academy.

Let’s fly!

It’s not exactly super happy fun Star Trek time this episode of Promenade Merchants.

The news of the cancellation of Star Trek Lower Decks after its 5th season had David heated. Rant incoming.

We also go through episodes “Jinaal” and “Face the Strange” from Star Trek Discovery, and do our standard old business.

We’re officially back! And so is Star Trek.

The fifth and final season of Star Trek Discovery is under way. Captain Michael Burnham and her crew are on a treasure hunt, and all good things must come to an end. Heather and David talk about “The Red Directive” and “Under the Twin Moons” after their premiere on Paramount+.

In Old Business, we celebrate Wrestlemania and celebrity appearance on Star Trek, naming some of our favorites, and fantasy book a couple of others. (The wrestling fans know what we mean.)

In Upcoming Business….Rachel Garrett?
