USS Spooky
Episode two of STAR TREK STRANGE NEW WORLDS explores scifi horror this week, and Captain Craig McKenzie is joined by co-Captain Mike Slamer to discuss the spookiness of it all! T'Pring returns, and La'An comes face to face with her own reckoning. A well crafted episode that touches on Kirk's legacy, and showcases some gruesome special FX.

Does it hold up? (Spoiler Alert: YES)
The crew of the pod at WE ARE STARFLEET takes a look back at the iconic hit film STAR TREK FIRST CONTACT which premiered 30 years ago in 1996. We ask silly questions such as, "did you like it?" and "is it better than NEMESIS?" FIRST CONTACT has had an outsized impact on the franchise's history, re-introducing the Borg and establishing 'canon events' that have had repercussions that last to this day. Take a break from doomscrolling and join Mike, Ashley, Ian, and Craig for a stroll down memory lane.

The finale is here and with it, our coverage! STARFLEET ACADEMY season one comes to a close with that favorite Trek Trope: a trial! Not quite Q's damning trial of humanity, this is Nus Braka's trial of the Federation. Does Caleb Mir stand in for "Trek audiences?" How DOES a photonic skin their knee? We ask these questions and more, in this episode of WE ARE STARFLEET. The full crew of the pod is here to unpack!
