One has to wonder if Zephram Cochrane could have imagined that 42 years earlier, a megacorporation would be celebrating his accomplishments.

We take a break from our regularly scheduled program to chat about the announcements that came out of First Contact Day – thank you Paramount Plus! We dive deep (maybe a bit too deep) into the teasers from Discovery Season 4, Picard Season 2, and Lower Decks Season 2, as well as our first look at Captain Janeway on Star Trek: Prodigy. We talk about our hopes, dreams, and what we want these shows to avoid… and who can start this petition for Michael Okuda to consult on Discovery!?

We would love to hear from you! You can reach us by emailing [email protected] – drop us a note, comment, or question. Just don’t be mean – though if you are, we might ignore you!

You can also check us out on social media, which we promise to update once in a while:
