This month on Trek Tuesday, Tony chats with celebrated Star Trek artist Kavita Maharaj, whose work has become instantly recognizable across the fandom for its emotional precision, striking detail, and uncanny ability to capture the essence of beloved Trek characters.

For many fans, Kavita’s portraits feel like stepping into a moment of truth — a look, a gesture, a spark of humanity that defines who these characters are. And it all began with one figure who changed her life as an artist:

🖖 Mr. Spock.

What started as a single portrait of Spock grew into a body of work that now spans the franchise — from classic Trek icons to modern-era heroes — each piece infused with her deep respect for the characters and the actors who bring them to life.

In this episode of Rewind, we journey into the fractured, reality‑bending world of Constellation, the Apple TV+ mini‑series that blends science fiction, psychological horror, and intimate human drama. The story follows Jo Ericsson, played with raw intensity by Noomi Rapace, an astronaut who returns to Earth after a catastrophic incident aboard the ISS — only to find that the world she left behind is not the one she comes home to.

Through interviews recorded at the height of the show’s release, we sit down with the cast and creative team behind this haunting series: 

Jonathan Banks, delivering dual performances that anchor the show’s mystery

James D’Arcy, exploring fractured identity and emotional truth

Peter Harness, the creator weaving a non‑linear narrative full of dread and wonder

Michelle MacLaren, the visionary director shaping the show’s claustrophobic tension and cosmic unease

Together, they pull back the curtain on a series that refuses to be easily categorized.

In this second chapter of Journey to Arrakis, we continue our deep exploration of the Dune universe with returning guest Brian Herbert, author, biographer, and steward of his father Frank Herbert’s legacy. This episode shifts from the origins of Dune to its earliest screen lives, as Brian reflects on the bold, controversial, and often misunderstood adaptations that paved the way for today’s resurgence.

From David Lynch’s visually arresting 1984 film to the SyFy Channel’s ambitious early‑2000s miniseries, Brian offers rare insight into how these interpretations honored, challenged, and expanded the world his father created.
