The D-Con Chamber

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating -- and special guest, director James L. Conway -- watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Judgment".
 
Archer's arrest by the Klingons brings him face to face with Kolos, played by Deep Space Nine veteran ... J.G. Hertzler! This is Enterprise's homage to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, so if you guess what happens at the end, it just means you're an OG fan. At least no one gets kicked in the knee-genitals this time.

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating -- and special guest, director David Livingston -- watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "The Crossing".

Enterprise gets swallowed whole by a massive alien ship whose incorporeal inhabitants start taking the crew for joyrides. Wisp-Malcolm is on the prowl for a meaningful experience, while Wisp-Trip gets the best meal of his life. Time is ticking until First Contact becomes First Assimilation!

Dominic - odd numbered episodes Connor - even numbered episodes
Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Canamar".
Trip and Archer learn that getting arrested is easy, getting un-arrested is surprisingly difficult, and prison jumpsuits really aren't anyone's color. It's Canamar: Con Air in space (minus the Nic Cage hair)!

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Future Tense".

The Tholians, the Suliban, and the Enterprise duke it out over a bigger-on-the-inside piece of Temporal Cold War tech, containing a really long ladder and one (1) dead boi. It's Groundhog Day in the D-Con Chamber... in more ways than one!

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer -- and special guest, Mr. Jeff Combs himself -- watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Cease Fire".

We're so lucky to have Jeff in for this Shran-centric episode, where the groundwork is laid for the special and enduring relationship between Shran and Archer. We come across the Andorians in a territorial dispute with the Vulcans, which escalates to the point that Shran calls upon his Captain buddy to negotiate a truce. But when Archer's shuttle is shot down with Ambassador Soval inside, the fingers are pointed every which way while the wounded away team negotiates the hostile war zone.

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating -- and special guest, director David Livingston -- watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Stigma".  

It's an early 2000s ambitious AIDS allegory centered on T'Pol, who is facing ostracization from the Vulcan High Command after contracting Pa'nar Syndrome, a neurological condition transmitted solely by a stigmatized minority: those who can mind meld. We follow Archer and Phlox as they fight against systemic prejudice to protect T'Pol's position on the ship. Humanity once again proves itself more tolerant than the Vulcans... *sips tea*

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Dawn". 

Or as we're calling it: Darmok Part II: Electric Boogaloo!

After crash-landing on a freezing planet with an alien who wants him dead, Trip is forced into the world’s angriest survival camping trip. Somewhere between the hypothermia, mutual hatred, and inability to communicate, the two slowly stumble toward understanding, proving once again that Star Trek loves putting people in life-threatening situations to teach them tolerance.

Marvin Rush joins us this week on The D-Con Chamber for a wide-ranging conversation about his extraordinary career behind the camera.

Best known to Trek fans for helping define the look of The Next Generation era and for directing episodes like Voyager’s “The Thaw” and Enterprise’s “In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II” and “Terra Prime,” Marvin opens up to Connor and Dominic in a way that surprised even us. What starts as a conversation about cinematography quickly turns into stories about the people, pressures, creative decisions, and strange moments that shaped decades of television history.

We also spend time talking about his work outside of Star Trek, the changing nature of filmmaking, and what it was really like working through some of the biggest shifts in television production over the years.

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "The Catwalk". This is a tightly-written Sussman/Strong episode that sees the whole crew of the Enterprise, some alien refugees, and a number of resident animals (including dear Porthos) take refuge in the crawlspace that runs the length of each nacelle. Dealing with the massive radiation storm in space would be bad enough, but if the alien militia trying to take over Enterprise doesn't destroy them all, their cabin fever will!

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Precious Cargo". It's Enterprise's take on "The African Queen", guest starring Padma Lakshmi, of "Top Chef" fame. Trip finds out that the cargo is a kidnapped royal heir, and a hectic rescue-romance ensues, culminating in an actual swamp. But you won't catch Connor in that marshy water twice... not if his ears have anything to say about it!
