The current Trek bosses have said that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ five seasons will take it right up to the launch of The Original Series — and they’ve hinted that they could continue that with a new TOS series. That suggestion raise a LOT of questions, such as — How might TOS be different given what they have done with the Pike era? What characters would they bring back? What would they reimagine? What updates might they make from a PC standpoint? And more. But the most important question is — IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?? We’ll answer those and many other questions in tonight’s show. And hopefully we’ll get some questions from YOU, the viewer!

Earth Station Trek is a part of the ESO Podcast Network, Executive Producer Mike Faber.

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 7 “The Seventh,” now that Jamie and Bill have watched it. 

A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Mission T’Polsible!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.

Fiberglass Freaks’ Batman Museum

The Fiberglass Freaks’ Batman Museum in Logansport, Indiana, is a vibrant tribute to the 1966 Batman TV series and the broader Batman legacy. Created by Mark Racop—who also builds officially licensed 1966 Batmobile replicas—the museum features a replica Batcave, Wayne Manor study (complete with sliding bookcase and Batpoles), a rogues’ gallery, and a treasure trove of memorabilia and props2.

Spanning two floors and over 7,000 square feet, the museum offers educational tours, themed events, and even birthday party rentals. It’s a haven for fans of all ages, blending nostalgia, pop culture, and craftsmanship into one bat-tastic experience

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Peter David.

Crusade was a spinoff of the popular series, Babylon 5 that aired on TNT in 1999. Twenty years later several fans of the series and writer Peter David sat down at Dragoncon to discuss the series. We talk about favorite episodes, things that we liked about the setup for the series, production woes, and why we think that it was gone too soon. We even include a little speculation into where we think that the series was going.

This week is a Dragoncon panel from 2019 showcasing Peter David, Van Allen Plexico, and John Hudgens.

Movie night battle is a regular feature of married life. What are we going to watch tonight?

On this week’s episode, Shawn and Leah are chatting about movies, podcast ideas, yard sales and their Etsy shops. They’re always talking about their Etsy shops. It is a regular feature of the podcast. We hope you enjoy it. And even if you don’t, we are grateful that you listen anyway!

To start our movie night battle, we engaged in watching 28 Days Later. But why did we do this? Leah hadn’t seen this film before, and Shawn wanted to watch it in preparation for going to see the third film in the franchise. As it turns out, Leah does not enjoy these types of movies. Shawn enjoys them, but finds it difficult to enjoy something his partner does not care for. But, the film stars Cillian Murphy. And he starred in Oppenheimer two summers ago. That film was about nuclear bombs. And Israel and the USA attacked Iran’s nuclear sites this weekend. Everything comes full circle!

Office Space was the film we watched the next night. This one didn’t have killing or zombies or violence so Leah enjoyed it more. We finished it together. This movie features actor Gary Cole. Gary starred in the series Crusade. Crusade is a Babylon 5 spin off. Shawn and his British buddies podcasted about the Babylon 5 universe on the Epsilon Three Podcast. Go check that out!

A bit more than a week ago, we tried to watch the original Friday the 13th, but that proved impossible. Streaming services are not all that they are cracked up to be! However, watching films could be a podcast spinoff for us. Should we start a new podcast where all we do is watch and review films? Should Leah do a spinoff podcast about nursing?

We wrap up this extra special episode with a chat about our recent yard sale adventures. And as always, we tell you about our recent Etsy shops sales.
