The Temporal Trek Podcast: Recent Episodes
Dan Hitch and Dan Huckfield
A podcast dedicated to a full rewatch of the Star Trek franchise in complete chronological historical order (by scene!). From Outside Space time to the Big Bang to the 21st Century then all the way to the End of Existence.
As ENT continues with its collection of Trilogies, Dan and Dan continue with the bumper episode reviews for the Temporal Trek viewing order.
Is it the best Trilogy of the season?
Does this mean we've peeked?
Could this be the end of Vulcan a-holes?
Who Exactly Runs Vulcan?
These questions and more as we look at the Vulcan Trilogy.
Just when the Temporal Trek makes you think you've left the S3 ENT Xindi Arc - it pulls you right back in!
This time we have a few minutes with T'pol and Soval as she decides to stay and lead a ragtag fugitive fleet, escaping their evil Human hating enemy, in their search for a new home... hey that sounds catchy!
After a VERY long break for the Temporal Trek, we are back with Attack of the Cloned Lords of the Flying in Space Poorly Dressed, Faggin's Street Urchin Augments!
Three episodes sandwiched together as the Temporal Trek way of watching the show demands it, and actually it might be for the best.
Genetic manipulation, medical ethics, morality of science... all of these topics are not discussed in any great depth. What we get is Beautiful people in string vests.
Dan and Dan are back, but after this will they want to continue?
A Solo show, and Archer wishes he could say the same.
Whilst he runs for the hills Hernandez is gonna give him a magic kiss to make it all better.
Reed is being sleezy in a bar and gets into a fight.
T'pol is pressured into a marriage to save her Mother' career, but her mother seems more interested in Trip.
everyone isn't reading the reports about the Xindi arc!
Oh yeah, and what about Hoshi?!?!
"Computer Engage Manual Steering Column!"
With 'Star Trek Resurgence' the game, being released worldwide on PC and Console this week.
Dan Hitch revisits a rant about mobile gaming from Episode 2 of Nexus Nights, outlines the hopes for this new game and recounts his favourite Trek game titles.
With the Expanse gone, the Xindi "Arc" finished it can mean only one thing, our Season 3 Retrospective.
Unlike our annual review of Trek from in-universe Dan n Dan sit back and discuss the show as a bit of television.
Compared to Season 2 and with a view to Season 4 on its way.
It's Valentines Day, the Xindi arc is concluded, Archer is both dead then alive, Heroes are forged... then utterly ignored the minute someone needs to buy a round!
Dan and Dan finish Season 3 and move into the early parts of Season 4 as we examine "Zero Hour", "Stormfront Pt2 2154" and "Home" of Star Trek Enterprise.
Season 3 has been like no.96 buses.
You wait two thirds for an arc to appear than four episodes of it happens at once.
Welcome to the 13th Feb 2154
Otherwise known as The Council,
More Twilight (Part 2 of 2154)
Countdown and the first part of Zero Hour.
Where is Hayes? Oh Never mind
Reed is still desperate to die a martyr
Hoshi is the saviour of Humanity
and Archer angrily over promises - so T'pol and Trip have to work up a plan to shutdown the Spheres.
As the finale of PICARD loomed and the final episodes of Enterprise S3 loom for the Temporal Trek main show,
Dan and Dan took some time outside the time-stream to contemplate the current shows as well as the new announcements in Trekdom as of Apr 2023.
We catch up (so far) on Picard up to Episode 9 (this episode was recorded the DAY before the final episode)
Discuss the Strange New Worlds S2 Trailer
and speculate the possibilities (also commiserate the potential Temporal Trek pitfalls) of a S31 movie.
So its here, the episode we knew was coming and wondered how it would impact the rest of Season 3 Enterprise?
Does having a long lost temporal cousin in the Expanse make it baffling why we haven't had more of this?
Does it only present problems when watched in the Temporal Trek way?
Does it have the single most believable Reed scene ever?... well yes that's one answer I can give.
For all the other answers welcome to E2, or E Squared, or E Deux.
After the epic episode from last week, comes a great character heavy piece that Dan and Dan have been waiting on.
We just have one question, why wasn't this all season long?
This is the BIG moment for Season 3.
We've been waiting a LOOOOOOOONG time on the long road to finally get to the "arc" and it comes all at once.
Azati Prime is in sight (providing the you're behind the right moon)
The First section of Twilight set in 2154 shows that without Archer the NX-01 arent even there yet.
and Damage shows what Archer needs to do to continue the mission, but is it a step too far?
huh? Dan Hitch is meddling with the device again?
Something got crossed, or is that crossed over?
Bare with us regular listeners, normal service will resume shortly.
It's the return of our watch-a-long format for the rewatch of Star Trek Enterprise Season 3 "Hatchery".
MACOs being out-matched
Archer is out of sorts AGAIN
Reed gets to blow up some Xindi
BUT
Travis has something to do
Hoshi has a moment
EV suits are worn (at first)
Phlox gets to be his typical Phlox self
so is it a better episode than we think, or have we been spat in the face with an enzyme thats playing mind tricks with us?
Really in a Temporal Trek we just watched Phlox talk to himself whilst naked for three days.
But going by the 1st hand evidence of Phlox's record we can construct his journey through an Anomaly.
Vulcan Toilet habits are of course discussed as we continue to bring only the finest intellectual examination to the Trek franchise.
Its the return of our annual look back on the History of In-Universe Trek.
A Return of Tech Achievements
MVPs
Character Arcs
Protocols
First Contacts and
Silly Statistics
Its the end of 2153 and we only NOW meet the race responsible for the arc.
Reed is truly awful in this episode and our three Reed-treds (Reed Hatreds) attests to it!
Random MACOs we never see again, an Alien Canary or advance scout and fisty cuffs!
With Degra in the Brig, Archer can't wait to tell him everything he knows, oh wait, no he remembers he is the Abductor this week. Instead of pucnhing his prisoner in the kidneys he's gonna give him a blood worm lymphatic cleanse. What a nice guy.
Will Degra fall for the plasma screen ploy?
and also
WHERE. IS. HAYES??!??
Shran is BACK!
Do you think Archer might get his hints that something isn't on the level?
A combined Human/Andorian with one Vulcan mission to steal a prototype Xindi weapon, nothing will possibly go wrong when it's 4:2.
The main lesson to learn is don't mess with the Andorian Mining Consortium and evidently don't mess with Phlox or Archer otherwise they will concoct an elaborate torture method worthy of a Kobayashi Maru.
The Enterprise is taken over... AGAIN, nut this time forget pirates or space nazi's its Space Priests! Out to enact their religious war on the heretics in "Chosen Realm".
Deejamat (or is it Steve?) will make you feel the Breath of the Makers as Dan n Dan get weird timey wimey feelings of a TOS episode to come so Let That Be You Last Space Priest!
It's the return of the Temporal Cold War, at least we 'think' so.
Daniels shows up and has a mission for Archer, one that he already completed in the 21st century on this podcast.
Trip is handed a duty roster as the Captain and T'Pol come back as soon as they left for all the 2153 scenes of "Carpenter Street".
The irony of this episode being one that corrupted in editing and the one you're listening to is the cloned recovered copy of the original edit is not lost on us here at TT.
Phlox seemingly has a sour-dough starter crew of the Enterprise, is this a sci-fi episode or a romance episode? The 45 minutes never seems to know what it is.
Join Dan n Dan, and Sim Dan n Dan as they inject a larvae with some Trek DNA and try to work out what the episdoe was trying to say.
We are back to Twilight, this time for a couple of minutes in the Alt-Timeline we discovered twoo weeks ago.
Do these scenes, even out of context, have a value unto themselves?
A lot is said with very little and the Dan's opinion of what occurs my surprise you.
Howd'y y'all!
It's the first Cowboy episode in Temporal Trek, yet its in the 22nd century.
Is the Law, lawful?
Will Archer ever follow his own orders?
Will the Quartermaster ever get the credit they deserve?
Saddle up, lock and download the episode.
Gather round the camp fire for some chow and lets shoot out some answers pard'ners.
Happy New Year, you know at this point in life its important to know that some hurdles can be overcome with a little patience...errr hang on its a week since i last said that?!!?
Unfortunately for Archer his issues may not be resolved in a matter of hours AND he missed movie night in this Alt-History departure from last weeks timeline.
There is no pillow but turn down the lights as we enter our next scene scene of Star Trek Enterprise "Twilight" 2153 part 2.
Happy New Year, you know at this point in life its important to know that some hurdles can be overcome with a little patience.
Fortunately for Archer his issue is resolved in a matter of hours BUT he does miss movie night.
Grab a pillow and turn down the lights as we enter our first few scenes of Star Trek Enterprise "Twilight" 2153.
We interrupt your usual Nexus Nights and Temporal Trek programming to bring you a special Ferengi Commerce Authority offer.
Party away your hours in the Expanse with this incredible selection of hits!.

Twas the episode before 2022 Christmas
(cos last week got bumped)
Gralik Durr was talking
Archers warpath got trumped.
The Arborials are walking in a funny way,
Dan's editing is awful we must say.
Come one and all to the latest Temporal Trek
Star Trek Enterprise "The Shipment" saves us from dreck.
KEEP LISTENING to the END for a Christmas musical treat (if you can call it a treat)
Creepy guy with a Snow Globe!
I know its snowy on lonely Scam artist mountain, but there was no way this was going to be our 2022 Christmas episode, so Star Trek Enterprise "Exile" is releasing early.
Hoshi quite rightly shows a creepy Stalker the curb!
Vulcan Z,z,zombies!!
and they want brains... no seriously some of them are just banging on doors with sticks; the rest seem pretty cognisant of their surroundings.
T'pol looses her mind to Trellium D and Archer maybe has some residual monkey-man strength from Extinction?
oh and has anyone seen Timmy?
The Reptillians defy the Council and send a mercenary spy on board Enterprise to collect bio data for their terrible new Bio-weapon project.
This blurb makes the episode sound a LOT better than it actually is, Season 3 continues to disappoint as we see T'pol mind-assaulted AGAIN, the Enterprise is boarded and out matched AGAIN and wonder why E2 hasn't saved the day AGAIN!
Dan Hitch is the worst, the ABSOLUTE WORST!
Send in the quarantine squad, set flamethrowers to maximum cos he made Dan Huckfield watch this episode on his Birthday week.
What a terrible friend!
What is an Urquat?
and
What is the point of this episode?
SPACE PIRATES! return, but not the same Space Pirates as Season 1 or 2, and certainly not Slime Monsters, sorry Nathan.
We are back for a watch-a-long - from then Files of Temporal Trek with Special Guest Star Nathaniel Hitch.
We get orbs, hockey pads, space wifi, airlocks and plenty of 'Angry Archer' but is it enough to make a good episode of Trek?
14 weeks into the mission in the Expanse this crew of two year veteran explorers finally make contact with... the MACOs.
Oh yeah and some badly dubbed mining mafioso who, you've guessed it, abducts Archer.
We, the audience, finally meet the Council of Xindi; and as our guest this week Nathan Hitch points out - it feels like Star Wars is in our Star Trek.
Dan and Dan look back over their journey through Enterprise Season 2:
Looking at what we liked and what took more faith of the heart,
Season 1 compared to Season 2,
the fact we are half way through the long road,
then talk about our hopes for Season 3.
Do you agree with our opinions? Were we too harsh?
Let us know.
Earth is attacked, and Star FLEET needs its one and only long distance ship (one of many in the FLEET) to spend weeks returning home to then spend days convincing Star FLEET that they should be the only ship to spend 7 weeks flying to a large expansive area of space called the...err... EXPANSE to spend months finding a species who attacked the Earth.
Season 2 ends with an ominous tone,
Duras loves his sequins and is a terrible military tactician, and we are that much closer to Season 3.
Dan and Dan do a first watch-a-long episode together, but rather than it be a classic, galaxy shattering, timeless masterpeice we get... BOUNTY. oh ffs!!
Its a lot of things we've seen before, and hope to never see again. Star Trek Enterprise "Bounty" is perhaps Season 2 in a nutshell?
Its a proper Temporal Trek viewing experience, where we will only watch the scenes set in 2153.
For the rest of the episode we already watched in Season 3 of the podcast.
Archer is reeling from a personal loss and he goes Dark Matter hunting with T'pol.
Star Trek Enterprise "First Flight"
WE ARE THE REDACTED
YOU WILL BE REDACTED
I can't believe i keep getting redacted of for redacted sake, why can't i talk about redacted we all know about redacted in the future.
FINE, enjoy this episode with cybernetic creatures in Star Trek: Enterprise "Regeneration"
Another Solo Show.
This week is a Solo show and a watch-a-long.
So line up Cogentor on Netflix as Dan Hitch tries to figure what the central story was trying to be?
What was Trip thinking?
and Why o Why o WHY did the writers try to make Stilton cheese sexy?
This episode also deals with suicide, and the first three minutes provide several UK and U.S.A phone numbers and text services you can use if you ever feel the need to talk to someone.
Stay safe, stay with us, never give up.
Star Trek Enterprise Cogenitor covers issues of sexual identity, gender identity, slavery and human rights.
Intro music and jingles are from FreeMusicArchive.org
Are Denobulans the bad guys?
Does that fit with what we've seen so far?
is this all Antaraan Propaganda?
What the hell is a Spelly....
Speali....
Speellyotham(sp)?
Dan and Dan look to build bridges over The Breach in our knowledge. As our Look through Star Trek Enterprise Season 2 continues.
Intro music and jingles are music from FreeMusicArchive.org
We return after our 21st century detour (unless you are listening in order then you won't recognise a difference)
And TRAVIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO!
say whaaaaa?
Before Dan and Dan take the Long Road back to 2152, join us again to round up 2024 Picard S2 with the end of last weeks episode and review.
This episode will play on the main feed and our Sister Show feed Nexus Nights.
Dan Hitch wanted Traps,
Dan Hitch wanted HiJinks,
Dan Hitch wanted Action
What he got was a pretty poor DnD campaign that had more Dungeons than Drones. Not to say there weren MANY Drones.
Jurati talks down the Borg Queen and Rios proves he is staying in 2024 - NO QUESTION!
We get the resolution to the flashbacks we saw in Season1 Part 2 of this podcast with the little boy who saw Vulcans in a Wood. That's Almost 45 years to get an answer.
We get new El Aurian Powers, Food Chat and Licking Car Batteries.
WARNING TO DO NOT LICK CAR BATTERIES!
Dream Sequences after the editing nightmare of a Heist was a welcome necessary evil.
Picard is in a Coma thankfully.... that came out wrong, i mean there isnt as many scenes to watch Chronologically in reality.
Rios throws the Temporal Investigations handbook out the window all for Love.
It's official. for a Temporal Trek Podcast there is one episodic televisual format
Worse than Dream Sequences,
worse than Flashbacks
worse than time travel,
worse than temporal causality loops,
Heists!
From the planning, showing the plan working, showing the plan inevitably "fail" and then the twist resolution its a Time Stamp nightmare to take notes and edit.
Rick Sanchez was right!
This week we look at a chunk of Episode 4, all of 5 & a snippet of 6 in a bumper episode of Temporal Trek.
Rios is on his way to Deportation by ICE.
Picard and the Watcher realise they have a common cause.
Raffi commits Grand Theft Auto.
Is it a Fast and a Furious Seven?
And Jurati falls for Horror Movie 101!
We continue to watch the attempt by Picard and the Motley Crew to correct the Temporal Divergence in 2024.
Speaking of Watching you'd think we'd see the Watcher in an episode called the Watcher, will we watch the watcher? is the watcher watching us? Watch this space, but maybe don't hold your breath.
Explosions in Time?
We are going back to the 21st Century - 2024 to be specific.
An aged Picard and a motley crew crash, sorry, controlled descent to Earth in an anarchic century, and they have a Borg Queen onboard? What the ever loving nanites?
With the Long Road still very much ahead, its still worth looking back at some of it in our rear view.
Even if it has Precious Cargo and Seventh in it.
Who will be a MVP?
What tech achievements have appeared for humanity?
Find out the answers and more.
After the Klingon Moon Praxis explodes the Chancellor of the Klingon Empire calls for peace talks with Ambassador Spock...

the Trouble with Tribbles Music is from Soundboard101.com
The show ain't exactly playing a blinder 'ere,
you'd think it would be all cushdy by now.
Archer has been a right plonker and got himself abducted again, and like a wally Trip got taken along for the ride.
Duckin' n divin', slip a guard a pony in his pocket and see if we can't see what "Canamar" has to offer (if anything).
The Intro Music is by AudioBinger from freemusicarchive.org
It's an episode that looks bigger on the outside than it does on the insider, no wait, did i get that right?
Oh yeah we've got Timey Wimey stuff, 4th dimensional thinking, bad decisions from crewmates (who should know better) and THOLIANS!
It's tense as we go Back to the Future Temporal Cold War, a Future Tense you might say.
The Intro Music is by AudioBinger from freemusicarchive.org
It's WAR! (for about 45 minutes)
Antennae Blue Skins, Plain Pink Skins, Green-ish Pointy Ears clash.
The Vulcans (a$$hole) are here to secure Paan Mokar.
BUT the Andorians look to Stan for Waytan!
So who else can be called to settle this but Ambassador Archer, the Vulcans (a$$hole) (who keeps saying that?) reluctantly let this meddlesome Captain negotiate a "Cease Fire".
Star Trek? Political?
T'pol has a difficult choice, Archer fights her corner and the Vulcans are just evil!
Unfortunately the writers of this episode didn't think that was enough so decide to show Polyamorous people as sexual predators.
STIGMA hits some sensitive themes as covered in the review of FUSION from Season 1
If feel you need to contact someone regarding abuse check out the first 5 minutes of FUSION for contacts in the UK, Ireland and US.
Dan and Dan witness a new era for the Temporal Trek as Trip gets self-reflective.
With PADDs left on planets, Darmok with fisticuffs and much more, could TRATRED now be a thing of the past?
This week Dan and Dan are joined by a special guest Tyler from the Too Young For This Trek podcast.
This is one of the few episodes Tyler has seen of Enterprise and is watching the best and worst of Trek on his show for the first time too.
Is Archer a HR concern?
Why do shifty aliens make up weak excuses?
and
Why is it always SPACE NAZI'S?!?!?!
The Intro and Outro music are by AudioBinger from freemusicarchive.org
So, here we are, the zenith, the peak, the truly awfully important moment in Trekdom... wait no that's the copy of The Best of Both Worlds blurb.
Oh no, its Precious Cargo. Facepalming intensifies
Intro and Outro Music by AudioBinger from freemusicarchive.org
zzzzzzzzzz
huh? Sorry I was dreaming there for a second, I could have sworn I was just watching The Seventh?
Anyway Hoshi and Trip are on a Planet and get beamed up this week.
That's it, that's the episode.
Dan Dan are starting to see cracks in the format with Season 2 of Enterprise throwing some curve balls.
I'd say more but first I really want to know what you think about Excel spreadsheets, I've been working on a pie chart for 10 hours now but I'm not sure if I should colour the slices green or purple?
Purple looks cool,
green is more professional...
Other Dan is over in the corner working on a painting and won't answer me.
Green, its green right? clearly
but Purple is cool.
All rested from our nap 'Dan Dan' engage in a lengthy hike around some impressive architecture with the wonderfully talented actress and artist Christine Szabo.
She Communicates pretty well her views on Star Trek, Enterprise and yes THAT theme song.
Dan Huckfield goes in liking this episode - will he remain so after this?
When well known Secret Super Spy Traitor Bounty Hunter T'Pol is called upon to bring.... hang on, who wrote this?
Dan Dan are perplexed this week by the total lack of anything to say about an episode that seems to be absent ... of.... anything.
We instead take a nap, so join us, won't you as we throw out the format and put our feet up for The Snoozeth, errr the Seventh.
In a lawless part of the existence,
In a small place no one knows,
a Group of bullies will be shown the true power of team work, standing tall and then... ROLLING AWAY!
No its not Seven Samurai,
Magnificent Seven,
Three Amigos,
A Bugs Life
its Enterprise "Marauders" - although the actual marauder content is greatly exaggerated.
The Intro Music is by AudioBinger from freemusicarchive.org
This week was a treat as co-hosts from 'Too Young For This Trek' TroytlePower and Erik Slader dropped in to join Dan Hitch spending a Night (well a few hours) in Sickbay discussing:
Is Horniness always a factor for consideration in all Star Trek Reviews?
Vulcan Fashion.
British Swearing.
Pickled Dogs VS CGI bats
Do the Phlox centric moments outweigh the awfulness?
What are Phlox's real credentials?
And Why is there an Unmarked Van outside Troy's house?
Intro Music by AudioBinger from freemusicarchive.org
This week "Dan Dan" are joined by long time friend of the show, formerly from The Ten Forward Podcast, Si Foster.
We discuss whether this is
A part two of a two-parter, last of a four parter or a previosuly unseen part 5 to the Tessek Prime Quintology?
Rogue full-AI or just a really super advanced computer?
station seen again in Voyager?
Oh and by the way has anyone seen the guy who flies the ship, you know the one, tall bloke, loves a good prank, Space Boomer, answers to 'Travis'?

It's been a short part of the road but one that needed to be marked.
Dan Huckfield takes the reigns this week as "Dan Dan" discuss the first Season of Enterprise outside 'in-universe' chronology.
Did it break the 'Measure of a Dan' rule about Season 1's being bad?
Listen to find out.
The Intro and Outro Music is by Jim Hall find his work and others on freemusicarchive.org
This week is a WHOPPER of an episode but just for the sake of your sanity it has a clear mid point where you take a break from Shockwave Part 1 & 2.
Season 1 finishes as Archer goes from mopey defeat to action hero in a single night.
T'pol still doesn't believe in time travel despite overwhelming evidence.
Hoshi goes from being a well respected prodigy to having the writers make her lose her top. (eyerolls)
How many Suliban does it take to crew a ship?
and Gazelle stories might just save the day.
The Intro music is by AudioBinger from freemusicarchive.org
Holiday! Celebrate! Holiday! Episode Hate!
We arrive at Risa 130 years to the date,
and in case you need reminding this episode is "Two Days and Two Nights" don't worry the characters repeat it at least four times.
Hoshi proves what a grown up can do with spare time.
Archer is a better spy than we suspected.
The less said about Trip and Reed the better (or is that Treed and Rip?)
Phlox just wants to catch some rest,
and anyone seen Travis?
Music by AudioBinger from freemusicarchive.org.
ARE YOU READY KIDS? I cant hear you?
ohhhhhhhhh
The Road to Risa is paved with good intentions... going disastrously wrong!
Crack out the sun cream, fill your boots with water and get ready for hanging with the boys on Tatooine, err i mean a desert planet.
Music by AudioBinger from freemusicarchive.org
So begins the most Epic journey,
the most perilous,
most high stakes,
most important long road... To Risa for holiday!
Oh and a childhood hero of T'pol has turned criminal,
Time to see what the NX-01 is capable of.

Twas the night during a raid
when all through the ship
not a lower life form was talking
n Ferengi were outsmarted by Trip.
By complete fluke a shift in reschedules this is our 2021 Christmas Eve release episode and its very apt.
Greed, wealth, dysfunctional family dynamics, funky socks and Die Hard!
Join Guest Dan Huckfield and I as we make no direct Christmas references AT ALL as we hadn't planned it this way, but hopefully it keeps the episode evergreen so you can listen any time; afterall remember Trek is for life NOT just for Christmas.

Klingons looking to be crushed into oblivion.
Is it honourable to die a needless death or is heroism not called for?
Hoshi struggles to hit her targets, and does this episode likewise suffer from not hitting the mark too?
Join Host Dan Hitch and guest Daniel Huckfield from the @AcademicTrek podcast as we discuss, Honour, sneezes and poor sanitation on Starships.

Dear Listeners.
I'm writing this blurb as a semi-amusing reference to the narrative device in this weeks Episode.
I have no doubt you will enjoy this episode filled with Love, Ethical Dilemmas and of course a mention of Porthos.
Enclosed is a recording of an hour and fifteen minutes of a discussion between myself and Paul from the @TheEpsilonThreePodcast and The Cosmic Pizza Podcast.
My sincere regards.
oh and btw if you get a message from a Ferengi Prince claiming he needs several thousand bars of latinum so he reclaim his throne, just ignore it.

Phlox goes on a voyage of inner discovery as he throws himself into a meeting with a Religious space cruise, heading to see the Plumes of Aggasoria. Alog the way he learns the true power of having Faith of the Heart. But should he be questioning the unspoken fact that only there appear to only be men in this prayer group?
oh yeah and some time agents fight on the ship, i guess?
Join me and Dan C from the Star Trek Universe Chat Group on KiK as we look at the Temporal Cold War and whether it, ironically, needed more time to work as a story arc?

Star Trek can deliver great episodes, good episodes, bad ones, mediocre ones and some that are just difficult to place.
Join me and fellow Kentish Man, Academic Trek Host Daniel Huckfield. As we attempt to dissect what Star Trek Enterprise was trying to say in Civilisation and what kind of Trek we just watched.

I feel so sorry for T'pol, honestly, forget the smell she has to endure and the constant taunting; she also has to complete a geological survey when the class clown wants to tag along on the Away mission and treat it like a camping adventure.
Tratred and 'Paws for Thought' are back as the crew discover a Strange New World and it all ends with T'pol pointing a a phaser at the Catfish lovers head! How i envy her.

The chronological rewatch by scene of Star Trek reaches May 2151, Enterprise NX-01 is on full swing, but things aren't so great for Hoshi. And what is that squeek in Archer's quarters?
Its a solo show as I look at one of my favourite character and her sense of self doubt, despite her incredible skill and talent as a linguist.
Regular segments Trip Hatred #Tratred and 'Paws For Thought with Porthos: A Porthos Podcast' are underway too.

Battle Time loops, awful accent work by Dan Hitch and a plethora of sound effects that'll have you ripping the headphones from your head!

Steve Bauman of the MuppetTrek Podcast
&
Returning Guest:
Andrew Capone
and Guest Starring:
Paul Wright as Captain Wright
Shawn Vanderloo as Dr Vanderloo
Happy FIRST CONTACT DAY!
Ensign Dan Hitch is free of the Time Bubble but not free of the device given to him by the malevolent "P" and the god-like entities.
With the Crew of the USS Pathfinder, and some help from 2020 he will attempt to review 'First Contact' whilst also freeing himself from the temporal gadget' hold over him.
With Special Guest:
Andrew Capone
Guest Starring:
Paul Wright as Captain Wright
Shawn Vanderloo as Doctor Vanderloo
Its the year 2032, no wait 2050? No 2032?
What is going on?
We see the Ares IV module in orbit of Mars then things get a bit weird?
Thank you to the co-host of The Cosmic Pizza Podcast - Paul Wright for lending his vocal talents to this episode.
The podcast is about to change.
Guest Starring:
Paul Wright as Captain Wright of the USS Pathfinder
With history altered its up to Sisko... I mean Bell, i mean Sisko to restore the timeline and put future history back on track.
We have Flip phones, THE NET, pulse rifles, America on the Metric system - it can only be 2024; 90's SYTLE!
It's 2024 our first time travel episode set in the future from when this podcast will air the episode, so under Temporal Prime Directive there will be no history segment.
We find out that the future isn't so bright,
there will be a significant event in a few days and only Gabriel Bell (who bares a striking similarity to Capt Sisko) can save the day.
Also Dax gets creeped-on by a character I REALLY do not like. Ewwwwwwww.
It's 2004, its dark, its grimy, it's greedy - ah the good old 21st Century!
Archer and T'pol steal a car, hack an ATM and casually stop a bioweapon released by some Prince cosplaying Xindi Reptillians - all whilst dealing with the worst humanity has to offer.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (in your time frame)
We leave the 20th century behind and skirt from the year 2000 into 2001 with Y2K a distant memory at 11:59.
Join me and guest Jenn Tift of the Snap Trek Podcast as we deep dive into the deep Janeway gene pool, look at old vs new and ask who indeed Let The Dogs Out?
Captain Janeway channels her inner James Bond.
We get a resolution to our previous Episode The Hippy on The Hill.
Join me and fellow Chatham Dockyard Colleague John Sweeney as we, like, deep dive into 1996,duuuude its TOTALLY, like, groovy.
We return to the 80s with Paul and Ross to conclude or completely paradox free romp to save the Whales.
Is now a good time for a colourful metaphor?
It's 1986 which can only mean - its the one with the Whales!
Join regular guest Paul Wright co-host of the Cosmic Pizza Podcast and Ross co-host of Snap Trek podcast as we shave in our mohawks, sit our double dumb asses down and enjoy pure 80s fun.
The show is BACK!
After Serenade accidentally spilled some anti-matter beer on the inter-dimensional Podcast transmitter we lost the feed there for a bit but fear not we are clawing our way back to normality.
Here regular guest Paul Wright and Host Dan encounter a strange sequence of events that in no way make sense or would ever work in a million years - and that's just the Kirk-fu!
Its 1969 and temporal headaches tomorrow hit worst yesterday.
Its 1968, so it can only mean one thing - its the THE most important year in ALL of human history.
Join me and guest Paul Wright as we discuss, how loud are transporters?
Who is Gary Seven?
Could you EVER train a cat?
How does a Satellite take a video from the ground?
Why are our crew just behind the curve?
and
Do Spock and Kirk have criminal files on some government record somewhere?
Its Groovy!
Its Two Time Segments for the price of one this week as we hit 1967 like a "toke on a doobie" - did i say that right?
Star Trek gives us the Summer of Love with Kira discovering a sensitive side to humanity and a random hippy human discovering the future of humanity.
And did my S.O.S message reach Starfleet Temporal Investigations?
Russians place a satellite into space and the Vulcans come to investigate but get more than they bargain for.
Vulcan Sitcoms, musical anomalies and watching TV in the name of scientific study on this weeks episode.
I'm also joined by guest Paul Wright from the Cosmic Pizza Podcast.
Oh jeepers, is it good to be back in our own timeline.
Time to smoke em if ya got em.... cough errrghh thats revolting who would do this to themselves?
Today i'm joined by the talented Jarman Day of 'Jarman Voices' to get to the heart of one of the biggest mysteries of all humanity... WHY DID ANYONE think smoking was a good idea?
Mushroom Clouds, Male chauvinist pigs and MOOOOOOOGi!!!!
We also pitch a backdoor Star Trek / Section 31 show you won't want to miss.

The Star Trek Enterprise Temporal Cold War Ends.
Why?
How?
Wha?
Huh?
Villains break form, we can agree fighting Nazis is fun and I have flashbacks to the Rocketeer.
And Adios Danill Zimenke!
Join me and....errr..... me? As I....errr... we....attempt to uncover what exactly has happened to time, we see Space Vampire Nazis, Ensign Daniels dies twice, messed up time lines, cheap special effects, a moment too close to modern day events and hear some damn good music.
On a serious note:
This episode has been a real labour of love as it was the fourth attempt to record through numerous sound problems but ultimately led to an episode that felt more timely than when i originally watched the episode for research.
Whatever happens, The Temporal Trek Podcast firmly stands by #blacklivesmatter
I punch it clear across the country to San Francisco, where Kira and O'Brien appear to be looking for Sisko and Bashir and all our beloved Bajoran Liaison is forced to do is claim she broke her nose. The town is seeing a boom, Prohibition is in full swing and I make two new friends here in the time bubble.
The first two guests Paul Wright (The Cosmic Pizza Podcast) and Shawn Vanderloo (The Rusted Robot & Soul Forge Podcasts) join me to review one of the greatest episodes in the franchise. City On The Edge of Forever.

This episode closes out the Season 1 Part 1 and i think i can finally outsmart Q and get out of this awful mess i'm in.
Data kicks around 19th Century Earth leading to time loops, Guinan, portal opening snakes and Poker!
It's the tale of an Android in a Yankees Court.
This episode is in tribute to Dave Harrison, a good friend and Trekkie.
This episode sees us return not only to TOS but to have the other side of a conversation from earlier this season.
Kirk is caught in a time of superstition and might be buuuuurned! as a witch.
What is with those accents?
and Why do i keep saying COV-D not COVID?
In the Delta Quadrant 900 years ago someone is Cast into a stasis pod and I talk on a podcast.
I meet someone else in this, where ever I am.
Its cold, damn cold Jim! The normally glacial Vulcan, is a cool character, he's like Ice! But a mysterious woman in a cave has him hot under the bowl-cut.
Humans are nomadic and some aliens seem a little too condescending. Its the first of a possible controversial choice for the podcast, does this scene belong here? Let me know.
We are fully in the thrall of time and it looks like its going to be over before it starts, or is that starts before its almost over?
Season 1 Begins, and as they say its time to go IN with a Bang.
Join me, Ensign Dan Hitch formerly of the Temporal Investigations Archive Dept, (nightshift). As I go on a bizarre journey all thanks to some mysterious company.
Sisko must pay a price for his actions in the last episode, there are books, characters dying who we have not met yet, a Prophet with a name. Do your actions carry more wait when exercising a measure of free will? Do gods de-humanise us?
Our adventure outside Time and Space ends as we plunge toward a bright light... oh don't worry its the Big Bang Season 1 COMING SOON.
If you let yourself become a god should you at least try to act like one? Sisko needs to save not only his station, Bajor and his crew but the entire Alpha and Beta Quadrants by asking for a 'miracle', trouble is "that is a corporeal matter". What are gods good for?
Yankee Qdle went to Space,
a-ridin' on a star-ship. Thanks to Quinn, he starts a war. wants a baby with no hard-ship.#
The Continuum are holding back one of their own from using his powers, individual rights versus 'the state' are up for debate. Its classic Trek on a dirt road, a Long Road getting from there to... no I'm not gonna finish that sentence.
Forget a singular Jolly Fat Man in a Red suit riding Reindeer, I've got two Starfleet Captains in Red Uniforms on horse back. Big Dogs, Dark Chocolate by the Tub and the answer to the age old question: What do you get in a 24th Century turned Georgian English/post-Revolutionary French setting? NEX-MASS of course.
What do gods need with financial advice? Its a return to DS9 but now we see the perspective of a non-Starfleet officer on existence outside of time. The wormhole aliens discover that linguistic communication is always tiring.
Let's get metaphysical, physical, aggressive, adversarial. Why are all non-corporeal beings so aloof? They literally have no concept of time for pleasantries.
Season Zero (0) Episode 2
Season zero : outside space time is in full swing, and now we go before all of space time? after? in the middle, round the corner first on the left?
Season Zero (0) Episode 1
The full historical re-watch begins with the classic, unforgettable, unbelievab……. wait, that can't be right? The Magicks of Magus Tu? Really?
