We continue our Spotlight Series with the conclusion Enterprise to the two part episode with "Divergence". As the Enterprise races to save Dr. Phlox, they must attempt a daring transfer of Trip from the Enterprise to Columbia at high warp in order to remove the Klingon subroutines that have infected the Enterprise's computer system. Archer gives himself up in order to help develop a cure for the augment virus. We also learn how much the Klingons and Section 31 were involved in the development of the augment virus and their plans to sanitize the colony.

Our Section 31 Spotlight Series has reached Star Trek Enterprise! The first Enterprise installment into the Section 31 story arc takes us to Season 4 Episode 15 "Affliction". Lt Malcom Reed is recruited to continue his involvement in a secret organization (not named in this episode) in which he thought he was finished with. This involvement, while necessary in his mind to save his friend Dr. Pholx, is viewed by Captain Archer as treason and betrayal. The Klingons kidnap Phlox in order to help them with a deadly virus that is removing their forehead ridges (TOS anyone?). Full of secrets, intrigue, mystery and more, Enterprise does NOT disappoint as it continues what DS9 started.....Section 31!

The final Deep Space Nine Section 31 focused episode, "Extreme Measures", takes us inside the mind of Luther Sloan as Bashir and O'Brien attempt to find the cure to Odo's disease as mentioned in the previous episodes of DS9 "Tacking into the Wind" and "When it Rains". This episode, which appears only a few episodes from the conclusion of the series brings an end to this portion of the Section 31 story line. As Luther Sloan is dying, Bashir and O'Brien have a choice....save Odo or discover the information necessary to bring down the entire Section 31 organization. Find out our thoughts as we continue our Spotlight Series!

We continue our Section 31 Spotlight Series with episode 2, looking at Deep Space Nine's Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges. Inter arma enim silent leges is a Latin phrase that literally means "For among arms, the laws are silent" but is more popularly rendered as "In times of war, the law falls silent." While attending a conference on Romulus, which is never a good idea it would seem for Dr. Bashir, Bashir becomes embroiled in an elaborate scheme devised by Section 31 as a way to ensure the Romulans remain on the side of the Federation in the Dominion War. This episode is full of intrigue, politics, and scheming....everything that makes for a good Section 31 episode. We learn more about Sloan, Section 31 and its intentions, and how far Bashir is willing to go...or not go.

In this special short episode, we officially wrap-up our Star Trek Pilots Spotlight Series.

We're wrapping up our Spotlight Series, looking at the Star Trek Pilots, with Strange New Worlds first episode entitled....."Strange New Worlds". We are big fans of this series and dive into the psyche of Captain Pike as he continues to be haunted by the experience he had with the Klingon Crystals in the Star Trek Discovery season 2 episode "Through the Valley of Shadows". This experience and knowledge he gains manifests itself in many unexpected locations, as visions of his disfigured face haunt him. We also meet recognizable characters from TOS and even new ones as we take the first adventure with Capt Pike and his crew aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise!

We're getting close to the end of our current Spotlight Series, looking at the Star Trek pilots, with Star Trek Picard's "Remembrance". This episode is our first look at Jean-Luc Picard since the end of Star Trek Nemesis. We know that this episode kicks off three seasons, reuniting the cast of TNG, for one final voyage. There is a lot of opinions on the first season of Picard, but one thing is certain: it was great seeing Patrick Stewart and the cast once again!

We continue our Spotlight Series, looking at the Star Trek pilots, with Prodigy's two part premiere "Lost & Found". The first Star Trek series really geared towards a young audience, Prodigy brings a significantly different approach to Star Trek story telling. We find a ton of similarities with another franchise's animated series, discuss the introduction of new characters, work through important points throughout the two part episode and more!

Star Trek Lower Decks makes its first appearance on the podcast! We continue our Spotlight Series, discussing the Star Trek Pilots, with Lower Deck's "Second Contact".
