  Cancellations, Comebacks, and the Cost of Going Warp Speed

  Jul 17, 20263 min

  Star Trek just lost the show that could have carried it into a genuinely new era — and we're breaking down why the timing could not be worse. We're also digging into Strange New Worlds Season 4's quiet rewrite of one of Kirk's most painful relationships, the deep-cut legacy characters that could make this the most stacked TOS reunion of the modern era, and the actual dollar cost of building a real warp drive. Plus, we're revisiting the single line of Kirk dialogue that changed what Star Trek was allowed to be, seventeen years later. Five stories, one franchise at a crossroads. 26-0717

  Thirty-six years ago, one cliffhanger ruined an entire fandom's summer - and this week we're finding out why it still hurts. We're also uncovering the far buggier, far cheaper version of the Borg that almost made it to air, revisiting the Next Generation episode that turned the Enterprise crew into a monster movie, and getting confirmation that Strange New Worlds isn't done with its funniest Vulcan yet. Plus, our friends at the TrekConvention Blog make the case for why one Enterprise actress deserves way more credit than she ever got. Five stories, five reasons to hit play. 26-0710
