TrekRanks does it again. It's time to get abstract – this time with the letter "T." That's it. It's "Abstract T," where our host Jim Moorhouse and panel guests Nate Perkins and KJ make five unique selections from Star Trek all relating to the letter "T" in some format. (Although, to be fair, we eliminated James T. Kirk and Earl Grey Tea from contention this week!) Our abstract topics are always transcendent, and this one is no different.

On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek - brought to you in partnership between The Tricorder Transmissions Podcast Network and TrekCore, host Alex Perry is joined by Marty Allee to discuss the fallout from Paramount+'s decision to cancel Star Trek Prodigy and remove it entirely from the platform, Paul Wesley discussing his portrayal of Kirk in this week's episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds, the Strange New Worlds showrunners talk Spock and the Gorn, and home media releases for Star Trek Picard season three.

First Flight is chatting about Season 2 and we can't wait to discuss it and hear the thoughts from you the #Carrot Crew!

Chris and Abby have lots to say about "Stigma": While Enterprise visits a planet where an Interspecies Medical Exchange conference is taking place, Dr. Phlox tries to obtain research on a terminal disease from the Vulcan contingency there. But he must not reveal that T'Pol has contracted this disease, because that knowledge would forever stigmatize her among her people.

Season 2 Format:

- Welcome & Reed Alert (spoiler warning) -Captain's Log (episode recap)

- Pros and Decons (analysis of episode) -Porthos' Pick (our favorite parts)

-Trivia

-Vulcans' Verdict (rating the episode on a scale of 1-10 grapplers)
