Star Trek Stories

"Maps and Legends"

Please don't tell me we're going to need a map and a legend to make sense of this show. We're only two episodes into this series and we already need a guide to figure out the story? This is Star Trek we're talking about, not The Silmarillion. Maybe this new, fancy-fangled Trek is just that complex... or convoluted. Oh well, let's see if we can find our way with this plot-building episode of Star Trek: Picard. Episode discussion starts at 19:06. This is episode 6/10 in our look at Modern Trek. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Ellen Lewis, & Tyson Baker. Email us at storiedstartrek@gmail.com Visit our Discord Server at https://discord.gg/6ynq25Zvkh

"Remembrance"

I feel like the only time I ever hear the word "remembrance" is in the context of "in remembrance." That doesn't bode well for a series that is supposed to be revitalizing a classic character. Is it possible that this show is dead on arrival? We'll just have to do post mortem after we watch this premiere episode of Star Trek: Picard. Episode discussion starts at 18:21. This is episode 5/10 in our look at Modern Trek. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Tyson Baker, & Ellen Lewis. Email us at storiedstartrek@gmail.com Visit our Discord Server at https://discord.gg/6ynq25Zvkh

"Children of Mars"

Would you believe that there is a cover of a David Bowie song in this... and it ISN'T "Life on Mars?" I mean what else is there to say? I guess we can see if there is anything else to dissect in this tiny little episode of Star Trek: Short Treks. Episode discussion starts at 3:34. This is episode 4/10 in our look at Modern Trek.

"Battle at the Binary Stars"

Hmm, I wonder what this episode could be about. Might there be a battle? Some binary stars? It's hard to say. This era of Star Trek is so subversive at times, this might end up being about be a negotiation at a single star. I guess we'll have to check our expectations and watch this prologue concluding episode of Star Trek: Discovery. Episode discussion starts at 17:06. This is episode 3/10 in our look at Modern Trek.

"The Vulcan Hello"

I wonder if a Vulcan Hello is anything like an Irish Goodbye. Instead of leaving without telling anyone, would it be arriving? You know, for how many people there are that still have never heard of this series, it seems to fit. However, is having your arrival unknown mean that it is unwelcome? If a Star Trek series falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Regardless if it does or not, let's all still say hello to this new streaming era of the franchise as we watch this premiere episode of Star Trek: Discovery. Episode discussion starts at 18:37 This is episode 2/10 in our look at Modern Trek. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Salem Rogers, & Rachel Murtagh.
