April 09, 2016 31: Education That's Out of This World
Starship Grissom.
Star Trek has a long history of encouraging young fans to take
an interest in the sciences; but here's a fan project that takes
that to the next level. Written by teachers, these fan films not
only take viewers on Star Trek adventures, they also teach actual
classroom lessons in science, math, art, and social studies.
In this episode of Continuing Mission, host Dennis Castello is
joined by Richard Wells, Christina Morris, and Keely Sanchez of
Starship Grissom to learn how they are bringing Star Trek into
education through unique productions that make use of the TOS sets
at Starbase Studios.

April 08, 2016 179: The Avengers of Fast & Furiousness
Lin, Part 6: Fast Five.
Running Time: 59 minutes 33 seconds
After reinvigorating the franchise with Fast &
Furious, Star Trek Beyond director Justin
Lin returned to helm the fifth film in the series, Fast
Five. This installment acted as a reunion of sorts, as series
regulars Vin Diesel and Paul Walker were joined by stars of the
previous films, including Tyrese Gibson, Gal Gadot and Sung Kang
for an Ocean's Eleven-style heist movie.
In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and
John continue their series on Lin's work as a director by looking
at his sixth picture. We discuss how Fast
Five builds on what has come before, Lin's continued
collaboration with his crew, and what this film tells us about his
ability to handle the large cast of Star Trek Beyond.
We also discuss the trailer for Star Wars: Rogue One,
because why not?

Furious.

In 2009, Justin Lin returned to what

Walker and Vin Diesel, in an effort to revitalize the
franchise.

In this episode

by Zach Moore of Always Hold On To Smallville to
look at Lin's fifth film. We discuss the decision to bring Lin back
after Tokyo Drift, the stylistic differences between
the two films, and of course, the title. We also take a look at the
career of Star Trek 2017's newest writer, Jesse
Alexander.

March 30, 2016 198: Procreation TED Talk
Someone to Watch Over Me.
When you live on a starship, you get to know your neighbors.
Sometimes you get to know them well. Especially if you’re Seven of
Nine and you’re taking an interest in interpersonal relations.
Armed with Borg implants and 24th-century Starfleet technology,
gathering data is easy. The only problem is that some of your
subjects may not want to be part of the study.
In this episode of The Ready Room, we’re joined by Charlynn
Schmiedt, Zachary Fruhling, and Phillip Gilfus to discuss “Someone
to Watch Over Me.” Join us for the Dance of Conception as the
Doctor teaches Seven how to land a date, sweep him off his feet …
and break his arm … all while mastering the art of small talk.
We also delve into the potential of a Doctor-Seven relationship,
what happens when you leave Neelix in charge of caring for
diplomats, and the exploits of Leisure Suit Kadi.
In our news segment, we discuss Star Trek: The Animated Series
coming to Blu-ray, supposed pre-production photos from the new
series, and we debate the StarTrek.com poll that asked which was
the best Star Trek relationship.

Lin, Part 4: Finishing the
Game.

Running Time: 48 minutes 22
seconds

After two consecutive Hollywood
blockbuster, Justin Lin returned to the world of independent

movie, The Game of Death.

In this episode

at Lin's fourth film. We discuss how it differs from the rest of

Years exhibition.
