This week we’ll be pondering existing and asking the tough questions about belief and spirituality in the Trekverse: What species and individuals in the franchise seem to worship a God or gods? Which are agnostic or atheistic? Does Earth or the Federation seem to take a stand on religion at all? What other species seem to reject religion and spirituality, and which embrace them? Do we think the future of humanity will see religion decrease in time as some shows like “The Orville” claim? And more.

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

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 4 “Dead Stop,” but only Maria has actually watched the episode. After going through a minefield last episode, the Enterprise and crew aren’t in the best of shape. Malcolm has to have Phlox Worm PT and the ship is going to take years to repair. But they find a repair station that is going to solve all their problems and surely nothing at all will go awry.

The Cosmic Pizza Podcast brings you Episode 96: Retro gaming with Phill & Dave.

We have a plethora of hosts and guests today as Dan, Paul, Kacey and Shawn are joined by good friends of the show Phil Russell and Dave Martin. You may remember them from episodes 90 – 2 Drive, 2 Survive and 63 The Two Ball Rally. In the last episode they were on we got sidetracked and started talking about retro gaming. The discussion was so much fun we thought it would be a great idea for a full podcast so here it is! Sit back and reminisce with the gang as we talk about our history in gaming.

The first season of Loki was one of the most popular Marvel series on Disney+. It only made sense for Marvel to do a second season. In this episode we review the Loki series. We discuss the plot and whether all of the elements work. We talk about unusual performances and new characters. We also get into the Jonathan Majors controversy and how this may have effected this series as well as what we think it means for the MCU storyline moving forward.

Due to time constraints there is no five-minute controversy this week.

This week Jess, Will, and Nate join the cast.
