We celebrate episode 200 of TrekRanks with perhaps the most wide-open topic in the history of our show. Which means we are covering more Star Trek ground than ever! This week we enter a stable temporal fissure to revisit many of the fun topics in our illustrious past with TrekRanks Potpourri 2.0 with host Jim Moorhouse and our expert panel of Alex Perry, Jenn Tifft and Abby Sommer. As you know, the TrekRanks catalog has no boundaries – from “Scenes in Trek” to “Abstract topics” to “Character Moments” and “Season Recaps” – and this week each member of our LCARS panel picks five of their favorite topics from our history to discuss (and, of course, make one episode pick for that topic as well). It's another standout entry of the most comprehensive, informative and consistently fun Star Trek podcast in the Alpha Quadrant.

Episode Rundown:

• Diagnostic Cycle: Where we briefly get into the details of defining the show’s specific topic.
• Prime Directive: Each guest on this week’s panel reveals exactly how they narrowed down their list and made their final choices.
• The Order of Things: All the picks are revealed with the TrekRanks’ original “Five words and a hashtag” summary, along with one episode that helps frame their choice.
• Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list.
• Regeneration Cycle: The panel recaps their picks and we dissect some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion.

If you have your own picks you would like to relay to us, please hail us at 757-828-RANK (7265) and record your own personal TrekRanks log to let us know your picks for TrekRanks Potpourri 2.0. (Or you can record it yourself and just DM us @TrekRanks.bksy.social on Bluesky.) Your comments could be used as part of a future Temporal Causality Loop on an upcoming episode (and might get you a chance to be a guest on a future episode, too).
