"Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass."

In the seventh episode of Season Four of Strange New Worlds, the crew of the Enterprise is put into a soap opera like setting thanks to the trickster omnipotent Trelane (Rhys Darby) who is conducting an experiment with the crew to impress his fellow Q. In what is obviously a nod to the old NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives, the episode became one of the most cringy - and fascinatingly emotional - yet.

In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, Wes reviews the episode plus talks about other things related to the podcast.

In the fourth episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' fourth season, Una, M'Benga, and Uhura are trapped on an alien world that only works in black and white monochromatic colors and live a very 1940s esque lifestyle.

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Star Trek Beyond.

Beyond is the last theatrical film to date. The film was released on July 22, 2016, to lower-than-normal box office of the three Kelvin Timeline films and also due to "Sequelitis" that plagued the summer of 2016. The film was Paramount's SOLE successful film of the year. The film's underperformance scrapped plans for a planned time-travel sequel. The film had one of the worst marketing campaigns despite it was released to celebrate Star Trek's 50th anniversary. It nevertheless has the strongest story of the three films.

In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, which marks the finale of the Second Star Trek Film Extravaganza, Wes welcomes Canadian writer and actor Heather Cameron to talk about the film.

PODCAST NOTE: Heather makes mentions of being a former writer for TrekSphere. At the time of the recording, the site was off-line; it has since been back online.
