TFM (Trek.fm & The 602 Club)

If you had a chance to speak to a stealthy, Section 31 agent, what questions would you ask? What would you say if he informed you that he'd also worked undercover in all Star Trek series beginning with _The Next Generation_? Would you be surprised if he also told you he was an author of middle grade and young adult novels?

In this episode of _Warp Five_, host Floyd Dorsey is joined by _Melodic Treks_ host, Brandon-Shea Mutala, to have a chat with Eric Pierpoint. Find out what it was like to try to be a secret agent wearing squeaky pants, how he was able to give birth on national television, starring in _Alien Nation_, and how close he was to commanding _Deep Space Nine_ and the _U.S.S. Voyager_.

Middle Tracks on Albums.

Almost everyone has some form of device that can store music digitally. These devices are included, but not limited to, cellphones, laptops, tablets, and iPods. With the invention of the playlist, how often do you actually sit down and listen to a whole album, the whole way through?

In this episode of Melodic Treks, host Brandon-Shea Mutala creates his own playlist of tracks that you may not listen to very often. In this episode, we focus on the middle tracks from the extended releases of the odd numbered Star Trek movies.

"The Alternative Factor" was a badly paced, somewhat confusing episode about 2 men from alternate universes, one good, one insane, one from a positive matter universe, the other from an anti-matter universe. "The Counter-Clock Incident" was a better paced, but possibly more confusing, but defiantly more scientifically dubious animated series episode about another negative universe. 

Can the crews of three different Trek.fm shows pull together and create an animated series sequel to the "Alternative Factor" AND "The Counter-Clock Incident" that 's more compelling than the originals and uses all the rules of all the different universes but still manages make sense?  Join us for the first episode of our fictional third season of Star Trek The Animated Series!
