We Are Starfleet: A Star Trek Podcast

We are coming to you from a year ago... or are you listening to us a year from now? Come along an interstellar journey through a white hole (what is it?) to discover what tomorrow holds! Mike, Craig, Ashley, and Ian are back to discuss Uhura's personal journey throughout this series, and how the black hole/white hole (what is it?) plays a part.

We take a look at the possible future series that we'll never get: Star Trek Year One. Ashley posits that this episode was written specifically as the "back door pilot" to that series, and Mike wonders aloud if anyone really WANTED that series to begin with, considering TOS did all of this first. TOMORROW'S ENTERPRISE is a big episode that carries big ramifications for not only our characters, but for the series and franchise as a whole.

How is canon forever changed? Will Captain Pike still end up with Vina on Talos IV, or will that be changed in favor of Marie Batel and the daughter they (never?) had? Did Strange New Worlds lose it's way while trying to set itself up for what was supposed to come? We explore these questions while discussing a truly enjoyable season finale.

STRANGE NEW WORLDS returns to it's fantasy land from season one's The Elysian Kingdom - Ian Buckley leads the conversation with co-hosts Craig McKenzie and Mike Slamer. Does this episode FEEL like an episode 9? Is SNW's episodic format still working for audiences? Does this episode help bring La'an's story into focus?

It's an episode we finally get to sink our teeth into! The latest from Star Trek brings us ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE - War hero Admiral Reegur takes the Enterprise close to the border of the Romulan Neutral Zone in an effort to hunt down unknown assailant. Family histories are revealed, and are there too many Kirks in the Soup? What's Jim Kirk even doing here anyway? Meanwhile, we ponder the fate of a certain Vulcan. We ask these questions and more in our podcast coverage of STRANGE NEW WORLDS!

Co-Captains Ashley Thomas and Mike Slamer are back chatting about what might be the most controversial episode of the season, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 Episode 7 "Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass." Is this just another silly exploration of Strange New Genres or is there something more to be discussed in this Space Soap Opera? Join us for a thoughtful conversation on genre, tropes, loss, and grief in this episode of We Are Starfleet.

Strange New Worlds - Season 4 Episode 5

“Level Five Transporter Accident”

Ian Buckley and Ashley Thomas are joined by special guest Geoff Owen of Make It So to pull the stuffing out of the latest episode of STRANGE NEW WORLDS! When Scotty causes a level five transporter accident, the entire crew (except Spock) are turned into puppets, courtesy of the Henson Workshop. Can Spock rely on logic alone to save Enterprise and crew, or will he need to embrace the chaos of the puppet within?

Mike Slamer & Ian Buckley sneak across the neutral zone to discuss the latest from STAR TREK STRANGE NEW WORLDS. The episode may try to keep you in the dark here, but we're able to shed some light on the situation! Rebecca Romijn gets her turn to shine through it all, and the Klingons return while introducing a TOS character... While the episode isn't quite a "whodunnit" so much as "whyisit," it serves as another exploration of genre television - instead of dinosaur park or a ghost ship, we're in a high contrast film noir!
