TrekRanks Episode 198 – Top 5 Five-Minute Characters


Listen Later

It’s time for another topic you are only going to hear on TrekRanks! This week we are breaking down the “Top 5 Five-Minute Characters” – which is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a celebration of those characters who appeared in maybe only one or two scenes for no more than five minutes total, but for some reason you still think about them and probably want to see more of them. Our panel of host Jim Moorhouse and expert guests John Krikorian and Anika Dane get deep into the weeds on five-minute characters in this classic episode of TrekRanks.

Episode Rundown:

  • Prime Directive: We skip our Diagnostic Cycle this week to jump straight into how each member of our panel 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 the episode for their character.
    • 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.
  • Temporal Inversion: We flashback to a previous episode of TrekRanks and relay some of the feedback received from listeners.

If you have your own picks you would like to relay to us, please hail us 757-828-RANK (7625) and record your own personal TrekRanks log to let us know your Top 5 Five-Minute Characters. (Or you can record it yourself and just DM us @TrekRanks.bsky.social on Bluesky.) Your comments could be used as part of a Temporal Inversion on an upcoming episode (and might get you a chance to be a guest on a future episode, too).
