Dive into the roots of felinoid species, what makes "canon" and more on this week's episode of The Trek Files.

A series of memos from the earliest days of The Next Generation contemplate the scientific advances of the new Enterprise. Specifically, the bridge would undergo a radical redesign to emphasize a more comfortable, thoughtful interaction of the crew. In addition, the special effects advances since the 1960s meant that the views of space could be much more realistic. We welcome back Dr. Barrett Caldwell to help explore the intersection of technology and humanity, where Star Trek gets it right, and where it stretches our imaginations.

On this special Supplemental edition of Mission Log, we turn our focus to host Norman Lao. In recent weeks, we've added guest hosts for the first time ever, and it's time to share, in Norm's own words, the recent medical concerns that have changed how we produce this podcast along with others at Roddenberry. We hope you are engaged as well as entertained by the discussion of his personal and philosophical journey and tying it all back to Star Trek.
In the last years of his life, Gene Roddenberry continued to address audiences with thoughts about science fiction and the intersection of humanity and science.

The Trek Files again welcomes Dr. Barrett Caldwell to share his thoughts on Gene's speech.

The Gorn were created for an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, with a stuntman portraying the lizard creature in an unwieldy costume. We saw one again in Star Trek: Enterprise, courtesy of some pretty bad CGI. Now they’re a recurring threat in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds where the combination of practical effects and CGI make them arguably the best-looking iteration of the species. I had a chance to talk to J. Alan Scott, co-founder of Legacy Effects, the company behind the new version of this old alien.

The latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, “Under the Cloak of War,” is a look at the emotional consequences of war. When Klingon Ambassador Dak’Rah, known as the Butcher of J’Gal, boards the ship claiming he’s on a mission of peace, it stirs up strong emotions from the crew, many of whom are suffering from PTSD from the Federation-Klingon War. It’s a dramatic episode with a message at its heart reminiscent of some of the best episodes of the original series. I had a chance to chat with its director, Jeff Byrd, about some of the more striking moments and themes.

Late last year, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights announced their next flight. Dubbed the Enterprise mission, it will see the remains of several Star Trek luminaries journeying into the final frontier on the Vulcan Centaur rocket. Since the announcement, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing friends and family members of the late, great cast and crew who will be blasting off next month. Throughout the months of April and May, I’ll be releasing those interviews. Wende Doohan got hitched to Star Trek’s first engineer, James Doohan (Scotty in The Original Series), in 1974 and they remained married right up until his death in 2005. The Enterprise mission is only the latest in a string of memorial space flights in which Doohan’s ashes have been included. Wende joined me to discuss her husband’s life and legacy.

Anthony Rapp, who breathes life into the character, got his big break playing Mark Cohen in the groundbreaking musical Rent. Rapp wrote a memoir about the experience, which he then adapted as a stage musical, telling the story of his journey in Rent through the lens of two tragic deaths that occurred at the time. Now his one-man musical, Without You, is opening off-Broadway, and he joined me to talk about it.

You know Armin Shimerman as the scheming Ferengi Quark on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and possibly also as the principal of Sunnydale High on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But if you asked him what he considers to be his primary profession, you might be surprised by his answer. “I am primarily a teacher,” he tells me in the interview below. Shimerman is also a writer, and the third book in his Illyria trilogy is set to be released early next year. He and I sat down to discuss the books, Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and the late, great Rene Auberjonois. If you’re considering buying the Illyria trilogy, I highly recommend starting with the first one, Betrayal of Angels. You can order the first two books and preorder the third at the Jumpmaster Press website.

In 1973, Franz Joseph was a retired industrial designer with a daughter who was a huge Star Trek fan. As he learned more about the fandom, he found a good place to use his talents by converting what he saw on screen into technical drawings. That sparked an idea he shared with Gene Roddenberry in 1973. The Trek Files welcomes Karen Schnaubelt, Joseph's daughter, to share the rest of the story.

This is the story of the United Space Ship Enterprise. Assigned a five year patrol of our galaxy, the giant starship visits Earth colonies, regulates commerce, and explores strange new worlds and civilizations... or words to that effect. On a Tuesday in August, 1966, the Star Trek braintrust of Gene Roddenberry, Bob Justman and John D. F. Black hurriedly crafted what would become one of the most famous opening narrations in television history. Celebrating Star Trek Day, The Trek Files takes you behind the scenes in this week's episode.

Also talking are Garak and the only other Cardassian on DS9, Tora Ziyal - that is unless Kira has her way. For the Cause goes into the Mission Log. Get in touch with us!

An early merchandising deal comes to Star Trek when Sawyers, Inc. (maker of View-Master) approaches the show. They sent a photographer to set in December 1967 to capture scenes from "The Omega Glory" and launch a line of TOS reels. At least that was the plan. This week, Larry Nemecek and John Champion talk toys on The Trek Files.

Keeping the science in "science fiction" is a challenge whether it's for an adult or children's audience. In 1973, physicist Harvey Lynn was consulting The Animated Series just as he had done for Star Trek originally.

My friend John produces a podcast called Trek Profiles, where he takes a deep dive into his guests’ Star Trek fandom. He and I recently put our heads together and thought: why don’t we do a crossover event? I can read his Star Trek story and then he can grill me on mine. So we did, and it just so happens that the timing falls right on the first anniversary of the first time I ever recorded Daily Star Trek News. So today, I’m featuring John’s Star Trek story, and stay tuned till the end, and I’ll tell you where you can listen to my episode of Trek Profiles.

In 1974, Steve Reed from the Atlanta-based magazine Pulse interviewed Gene Roddenberry, but it seems like Steve was a fan who saw the opportunity to get some insider information.

Love - or a close proximity - is in the air when Lwaxana drops by Deep Space Nine for the Bajoran Gratitude Festival. She's still obsessed with Odo. Vedek Bareil's obsession shifts from Kira to Jadzia. Jadzia is all over Sisko, and Jake can't stop obsessing over Kira. The only two who can't seem to fall in love are the O'Briens. It's a mid-station's night dream when Fascination goes into the Mission Log.
We welcome back TNG second season producer Robert McCullough to talk about the production staff during his ten-week run on the show. Who wrote scripts from the ending first? Where did Klingon pain sticks come from? What was his very first convention like? A little more chaos on the bridge plus a peek back into life on set at the end of TOS.

Diversity has always been a hallmark of Star Trek from the written concept to casting to production. In a pair of documents this week, we see notes from Susan Sackett to Gene Roddenberry about audience requests for hispanic crew on the Enterprise followed by Gene's note to Michael Piller about avoiding any "parochial hooray for humans."

It wasn't always rosy between Gene Roddenberry and John and Bjo Trimble, even after their mail campaign famously helped "Save Star Trek." Their friendly relationship with the production made them the "go to" source of information for Trek fans everywhere and helped propel Gene's merchandise company, Lincoln Enterprises. Things soured soon after, though, and the Trimbles found themselves closing up shop. The Trek Files welcomes back John and Bjo Trimble to talk about the ups and downs of their relationship with Gene.

In a parallel universe, Gene Roddenberry successfully used the Star Trek episode "Assignment Earth" as a backdoor pilot to launch a brand new series in the fall of 1968. With episodes needing to be produced, Gene would rely on story editor Dorothy Fontana to narrow down suitable stories and, like Star Trek, draw from existing science fiction authors. The Trek Files welcomes back Rene Echevarria to discuss a TOS favorite and what could have been.

An old flame of Quark’s happens by DS9. She’s a Cardassian, but not just any Cardassian. She’s teacher to a couple of students with radical ideas. This gets the interest of Garak the tailor. But he’s not just any tailor. An outcast of his home world, he’d kill to get back to Cardassia. Literally.

Or will he have to go home with his other father? And will this be the episode where Miles O’Brien finally stops hating all Cardassians just because they’re Cardassian?

The last piece of the puzzle falls into place as Nadine searches for answers. In this episode you’ll get more tips on how to hunt for monsters and seek out the truth. We turn our attention to the skies above Chicago and the trees on the Solomon Islands for a lively “bat chat.”
The kids finally arrive at Vandenberg but the journey’s not over. In this episode we’ll show you how to sort out fake truths from real fakes, and “truthier trues” from less “truthier trues” (to start, stop using the word “impossible”). Yes, that sounds impossible...but it’s probably not. Also we’ll answer the question: Should you trust your best friend?
Our whole crew discusses the second half of of the first season of Star Trek: Discovery - both the positive and the problematic. And we speculate just a little bit about Season 2.

What would Star Trek: The Next Generation look like without Gene Roddenberry?

It is a long slow period of star charting for the Enterprise, and good thing too. The ship has picked up a potentially troubling alien. He seems nice enough, and he can heal people with a touch. There is just one problem: The government of his home world says he is dangerous and must be put to death. Also, he killed Worf, so maybe there are a couple of problems. Who or what is this being?

We know that as a writer David Gerrold has always got at least one more interesting story to tell. For his return to Mission Log, we dig deep into the circumstances around the first two seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation and what led to David's departure.

Plus we kick off a new segment by welcoming Larry Nemecek to discuss Discovered Documents from the Roddenberry archive.

Kirk’s in love, which is nothing new. For an added twist, this week he’s in love with a robot. A robot built by someone who is seemingly immortal. Things get sticky, though, when we find out that he’s in love with his robot too. Also, everyone on the Enterprise is sick. They need medicine or they will die.

Beaming up from peaceful negotiations, Kirk, McCoy, Uhura and Scotty find themselves on a militaristic Enterprise in a less than peaceful alternate universe. We are through the looking glass when we put “Mirror, Mirror” in the Mission Log.
The Enterprise encounters Earth's first deep space probe, but something is different. Instead of discovering new life, it wants to wipe all wipe out all imperfect life. How will Kirk and crew escape? Find out when "The Changeling" goes in the Mission Log.
The Enterprise confronts its most powerful super-being so far. Can getting away be as simple as choosing to not believe in it? Find out as Mission Log asks, "Who Mourns for Adonais?"
Pulling a "The Cage/The Menagerie" play, John and Ken cut the first episode they ever recorded into the 30th episode of Mission Log. Spock's gotta have it, though what it is he will not say. But he's gotta get to Vulcan as soon as he can in "Amok Time."
Madness is sweeping the galaxy. Or - more accurately - madness is drawing a straight line through the galaxy. Can Kirk, Spock and McCoy stop it without killing a million people? Find out when we put "Operation: Annihilate!" in the Mission Log!
John and Ken talk with Mark Altman about his movie “Free Enterprise,” his time with William Shatner, and why he loves Star Trek. Then they re-argue the TOS episode “This Side of Paradise.”
Kirk faces an ethical and moral dilemma: Let the woman he loves die? Or let the Nazis win World War II? It's a hard knock life in The City on the Edge of Forever.
When the Enterprise finds one guy who may be two guys (or two guys who may be one guy) on an uninhabited planet along with an undetectable source of radiation, it's up to Kirk, Spock and McCoy to figure out the intricacies of "The Alternative Factor."
John and Ken talk with Bobby Clark - AKA “The Gorn” - about his times on Star Trek. Plus listener feedback! It’s a festival!
War is brewing between the Federation and the Klingons, and the fate of an undeveloped race - the Organians - hangs in the balance. But there's more to the Organians than meets the eye, as the Enterprise learns in "Errand of Mercy."
The Enterprise comes to the aid of a group of miners being hounded by a monster deep under ground. But - in true Star Trek fashion - we are left to wonder whether there is a monster at all when we put The Devil in the Dark in the Mission Log.
Spock's in love, the plants are in bloom, and everybody is happy. But nothing lasts forever this side of paradise. Happiness is getting in touch with us!

Get ready for a salty look at Star Trek’s first broadcast episode and your introduction to the last of a dying breed. Enjoy a cast of redshirts before they wore red shirts. Boldly go where so many went on September 8, 1966, the day Star Trek: The Original Series first aired.
