Mother of Klingons Mary Chieffo returns to the show for a deep dive into the role of women in Klingon culture. We discuss the Klingon fixation with Honor, how Klingon women have succeeded despite the patriarchy, and how the Klingon women who came before helped to inform the characterization of L’Rell.

This week on Episode 468 of Priority One --- We Trek Out how Star Trek has been keeping us entertained during lockdown with videos galore! In Star Trek gaming, lots going on in the mobile world this month with both Star Trek Fleet Command and Star Trek Timelines. Plus, a new expansion to the tabletop RPG - Star Trek Adventures. Sid City Stories If you’re sitting at your computer or lounging on the sofa surfing the web on your phone, you might be interested in a story-time adventure set in the Star Trek DS9 universe. You see, at the start of the pandemic and subsequent lock downs, Alexander Siddig --- known to trekkies for his role as Dr. Julian Bashir --- took to live-streaming! His Sid City Social Club has been a huge success with trekkies and with guests like Nana Visitor and -- most recently - Andrew Robinson - there’s something for all trekkies to enjoy. On July 6th, Sid City Social Club posted a video of Siddig and Robinson reading a story titled, “Alone Together: A DS9 Companion: Episode 1 ‘These Days’" written by Matthew Campbell. This first episode tells the story of Dr. Julian Bashir making an emergency trip to Cardassia. There Elim Garak -- now the leader of Cardassia Prime explains to the doctor that Cardassia has fallen victim to a pandemic that threatens the entire planet. This first episode is just under 33 minutes --- so, if you loved Garak and Julian’s relationship, be sure to #TrekThisOut. Links, of course, will be in the shownotes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M44QMKWMxuQ&feature=emb_title And if you’re looking for something a little more musical, then you should definitely #TrekOut Robert Picardo’s latest video. Our favorite Holographic Doctor is passing time during the lockdown lamenting he’s not Brent Spiner in this hilarious song. Hopefully, this is a creative trend that we’ll see more and more Trek Actors do during lockdown… Kinda like Brent Spiner’s video from back in May. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP4bsXcCDGw The Ready Room w/ Wil Wheaton Even though we might not have any new episodes of Star Trek until August, CBS still has plenty of content to share. On July 2nd, CBS All Access released a special “Away Mission” version of The Ready Room - hosted by Wil Wheaton. In this installment, we get a detailed look at Rios’s ship, “La Sirena” from Production Designer Todd Cherniavsky. From drawings, to models, to walk throughs on the set - this will definitely satisfy our listeners who love to learn about the ships in Star Trek. Following the guided tour, Wheaton welcomes Sir Patrick Stewart via Zoom to discuss Season 1 of Star Trek: Picard. During their time, they spoke about some of Stewart’s proudest moments, including getting scolded by Marina Sirtis on Napenthe and his final scenes with Data. As the interview continues, they discuss the importance of Star Trek amidst our current events. Unfortunately, when asked about Season 2 Sir Patrick didn’t have much to say other than CBS is QUOTE “Committed” to season 2 of Picard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KklyKXZPBdA&feature=emb_title Star Trek Lower Decks - August Premiere Last, but certainly not least, is the announcement of the next rendition of Star Trek hitting streaming services. The highly anticipated animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks is scheduled to premiere Thursday, August 6th with its first episode. The following 9 episodes will be released weekly on Thursdays via CBS All Access in the US. For those who may be unfamiliar, Star Trek: Lower Decks is the animated series developed by Emmy Award winner and former writer for the critically acclaimed series, “Rick and Morty.” Trekkies are likely to remember McMahan as the creative force behind the @TNG_S8 Twitter Account that told stories of the “unreleased” seas…

Star Trek heads to Comic-Con@Home with a mega-panel featuring Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks and yes, Strange New Worlds, Discovery's Doug Jones talks about what he wants for Saru's future, and why he collects toys of himself, and I've got the answer to Tuesday's trivia question.

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Broken Link," Odo is called home to rejoin with the Great Link. It's not a happy reunion, of course. He's being judged for killing one of their own. Since the changelings are new to all this, the punishment they hand out is sure to be unique.
