We meet an adversary so diabolical, he can teach children to control minds by pretending to use a shake weight – so powerful Kirk knows his name despite it never being uttered – so charismatic he can get away with wearing a floral-print trash bag moo-moo!

Maman! Hey, Maman! I'm glad we caught you! I wanted to invite you to take a trip with Effie and myself to New York City of 1968. Specifically 811 East 68th Street, Apt 12B – a quite extraordinary apartment with an exceptional new tenant – Class 1 supervisor 194 – Codename: Gary Seven. He, his "cat" Isis and his secretary Roberta Lincoln will be taking over the season 2 finale of Star Trek – and while they were making it, they may have even thought it would the series finale. Crazy times call for crazy parachutes, Maman.

Oh, maman... On this episode of Star Trek Universe, it’s a dash of racism,a sprinkling of imperialism, and a skosh of jingoism as Effie and I roll our eyes along to one of the absolute worst episodes of Star Trek ever produced – an episode so bad it was repeatedly rejected by the studio, from the beginning!

On this episode of Star Trek Universe, Effie and Dave beam down to Sigma Iotia II — the planet that found a book about Chicago mobsters and decided to run with it! From fedoras to tommy guns, the Iotians built an entire society modeled after 1920s gangland culture, maman. Now the warring “bosses” want the Federation to supply them with heaters for their escalating turf war. It’s one of the funniest and most iconic episodes of The Original Series, blending sci-fi satire with pulpy gangster style. Dave likes to think of it as “A Private Little Cosplay” — but you’ll know it better as Star Trek 2x20, “A Piece of the Action.”

They finally told an original story, maman -- or they started to before they were "inspired" by an episode of The Next Generation and did that instead. Alright, fine. It was the only part that actually worked.

Things are bleak, maman. The snake has eaten it's tail so hard it's currently licking it's chin. They have ten episodes, and they've now used one to denigrate The Original Series and re-use every tired holodeck story from the 90s series all in one. We were not amused, maman. But Paul killed it with his duel performance. Hats off on that one, maman.

Rom and Leeta are back and battin' 1000, maman. At least Dave thinks so. Matt ain't so sure. But we got more character development out of a few major players and progression on the overarching story. Mixed with a hefty helping of laughs, that make a pretty good soup, maman. Try making that for sunday lunch sometime.

Our time with Strange New Worlds season 2 has sadly ended with 2x10, "Hegemony." The Gorn have taken a world on the outskirts of Federation space. Batel and Chapel are on the wrong side of the line. It's a wild ride, maman. Thrills, chills, and baby gorn spills. Good thing we have Pike as our own Hegemony Cricket, doling out enough conscience to cover our crew who seems to have lost theirs.

We're talking all about our first thoughts on the first episode of Star Trek: Picard, "The Next Generation", though if we're being honest, it feels a whole lot like Wrath of Khan, Part 2... We're digging where the story is going, and how boldly it goes, even if we have questions about how likely it is a ship can be refit enough to change class...

Time to talk about "Supernova" parts 1 and 2, maman. Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 was a banger. Got me in my feels.
Tryin' to catch up, maman. Prodigy 1x17 (Ghost in the Machine) and 1x18 (Mindwalk) this time.
Settle in for backstories, maman. There's no time like the present, but for now we'll wallow in the past.
Picard season 3's gonna be a sequel to TNG, DS9 and VOY. That's a lot of promises, maman. Dominion War fallout? Characters from all three series? The ganglia be tweaked.
We're also reviewing Star Trek: Prodigy 1x15, "Masquerade", discussing TNG's "The Outrageous Okona" and answering listener feedback. It's a big one. Lots of talking, maman.
Janeway catches up with the crew of the Protostar while the audience catches up with Okona. Both were all-too-brief. But we'll get there, maman. We'll get there.
This week's review - Star Trek: Prodigy 1x14, "Crossroads"
Deep cuts in this one, maman. Time to find out what happened to one of the red shirts from TOS... I love these kinds of episodes... they're a real, ahem, obsession.
Star Trek: Prodigy 1x13 - "All the World's a Stage" review
Star Trek: Lower Decks season 3 is over! How'd we like the finale? We have thoughts! Mostly good. Plus, more stellar listener feedback from Stu, continuing the saga of Dave's alter.
Mariner gets a one-way ticket to Starbase 80. Must've done something bad. Totally wasn't everyone else.
We're talking Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x09 - "Trusted Sources"
Quickly! Read my saggy skin! Then listen to our review of Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x08 - "Crisis Point II: Paradoxus"! We had a good time! We hope you did too!
NYCC '22 brought us news and trailers for Picard season 3, Discovery season 5, Prodigy season 1.5 and hints of a live-action Janeway project! We talk about all that and review the latest episode of Lower Decks, 3x07!
Deep Space Nine is back! This episode we're talking about Lower Decks 3x06 - "Hear All, Trust Nothing"
We're starting with the man in the mirror. We're asking him to change his ways.
Review for Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x05, "Reflections"
We're playing catch-up and reviewing the first three episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks season 3: "Grounded", "The Least Dangerous Game", and "Mining The Mind's Mines"!
We're getting into the Star Trek Day trailers and news in this episode, from Star Trek: Picard to Lower Decks, Prodigy, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Khan: Ceti Alpha V, and Online! We have trailers, clips, and all sorts of little tidbits including release dates!
It's part one of our SDCC news coverage for Star Trek: Picard season 3, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks and Discovery!
Today Dave interviews Christianna Traynor, a 29 year-old who has just finished watching Star Trek The Original Series and Animated Series for the first time! She'll be fielding questions from the host and the listeners about her favorite characters and episodes, her thoughts on the diversity of the series and its use of allegory as well as drawing comparisons with the J.J. Abrams films which was her first introduction to the world of Trek!
It's back to the past future to save the further past future from delta pattern maroon monsters and millions of lives lost! Was M'Benga's daughter right? Can we re-write the ending?
Our review of Strange New Worlds 1x09, "All Those Who Wander" and listener feedback catch-up!
Got some wacky fairy tale doo-doo this time, kids. We're reviewing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x08, "The Elysian Kingdom".
So who else has a massive crush on Chapel? We're talking Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x07, "The Serene Squall", and we don't really agree on a lot this time around, but we have fun anyway.
Dave didn't understand it for a minute, y'all. Dave got fooled by the red herrings. He'll never live this one down, y'all. But talk about stakes! This time we're talking about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x06, "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach". And it's a dark one.
Welp. Spock's katra is a bit misplaced in this one... this time we're talking about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x05, "Spock Amok", and we have us some classic body swap hijinks to get into.
Tether your brown dwarf to our black hole, kids. We're diggin' into Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x04, "Memento Mori" on this one. It's an good old-fashioned submarine battle, and Pike might be immortal for the next ten years, but his crew aren't... Grab your tissues, maman.
Secrets come to light. And so do the crew members for that matter. Is it the bee's knees though? More like the moth's wings.
Ready a sedative for the hypospray and pray to your comet god, kids. It's a jaunt with fate on this one.
We're talking Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x02, "Children of the Comet"
Even gods have favorites, Maman. Leave your skeleton keys and hug your Q goodbye. Time to dip, Maman.
We're talking about Star Trek: Picard 2x10, "Farewell".
This one should have been called "Familiar Old Worlds". But one of us liked it a lot at least.
We got a little behind, but we talked about Picard 2x08, "Mercy" and 2x09, "Hide and Seek" in this one. We're unlocking the door, maman. A lantern isn't the only thing hanging in this one, maman.
We're going inside the mind of Picard! What mysteries shall be uncovered!? What ears shall be recovered!? It's scary. I want my maman...
A future friend leads Picard to the mysterious Watcher, and it might just be someone in league with a group we haven't seen in some time! We talk all about it!
Jim Kirk is coming to 'Strange New Worlds'! We discuss that and review 'Discovery' 4x13, "Coming Home" (The Season Finale)!
We're finally here! We've made it past ultimate poker, the galactic barrier, and the Ten-C's old apartment! Now it's time to have a conversation... or try to anyway.
What did we think of this episode? What do we predict for the season finale?
Strange New Worlds released a teaser trailer, and we're talking all about it, plus we're reviewing Picard 2x02, "Penance"!
We're catching some kinda particle feelings from this week's Discovery, and we're here to talk all about our fear response.
Paramount gives up negotiation leverage, plus we talk about Star Trek: Discovery 4x10, "The Galactic Barrier"
Did Michael stop Book from detonating the DMA? Will Saru accept a dinner date from his special Vulcan lady friend? Will Dave and Matt discuss Peacemaker after they talk about Star Trek? All these answers and more in our review of Discovery 1x09, "Rubicon"!
A new Star Trek film has been announced for production late 2022 starring the original Kelvinverse cast! We get into our thoughts, our hopes, and we also talk about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. There is a connection, in case you were wondering...
Starfleet Academy is a go, Section 31 is still happening, more highly curated Trek series are on the way, Picard season 3 will break new ground in Trek, and Akiva Goldsman has an anthology series in mind--all that plus we review Prodigy 1x09 and 1x10, "A Moral Star" parts 1 and 2.
Today we’re talking about the third Star Trek: Picard trailer and the eight episode of Prodigy, “Time Amok”! In the case of the latter, we can’t believe they went there!
A chance meeting with the woman who raised Dal gives us a chance to understand him better while giving the crew the chance to learn about the Prime Directive!
On this episode Dave updates you on all the renewals and release dates announced plus info on the Jeri Ryan/Michelle Hurd audio adventure and Shazad Latif's Section 31 update!
Dal takes the Kobayashi Maru with a little help from some of our old friends. We're talking about Star Trek: Prodigy 1x06, "Kobayashi", and it just might be Dave's favorite episode since DS9's "Trials and Tribbleations"!
It's the mid-season finale of Star Trek: Discovery, and we're here to talk about the moral quandary, what we thought worked (pretty much everything), what we thought didn't (was there anything really?), and where we think the season might be going with theories about Tarka's true intentions and the real source behind the DMA!
A giant subspace rift? An unseen wall that eats away at the hull? A scared A.I.? We're talking about all of that in our review of Star Trek: Discovery 4x06, "Stormy Weather"!
We're catching up with Star Trek: Discovery after an unexpected ship-wide failure! Captain Burnham deals with diplomacy and death wishes while the crew tries to unlock the mysteries of the DMA! We're getting into 4x04, "All is Possible" and 4x05, "The Examples"!
Romulans who became Vulcans, new android bodies, and a mission to track down a badass ninja nun with a lost cause! We're getting into Star Trek: Discovery 4x03, "Choose to Live" this week!

Death comes even to utopia, and with it, so must sin. Picard, Soji, and company have found the synth homeworld set up by Bruce Maddox and a mysterious doctor with a familiar face! With over 200 Romulan warbirds en route, the Admonition is revealed for what it truly is, and we're talking ALL about it! We have predictions, theories, and lots of fun this episode, and we can't wait to do it all again next week in the finale! Let us know what you thought about Et in Arcadia Ego, and what you've thought about Star Trek: Picard so far this season! We'll answer your questions and your feedback in next week's episode!
Seven of Nine is back, Jurati is awake, and all sorts of revelations are coming to light! We're talking about it all right here as well as easter eggs, listener feedback, and more home-cooked theories!
Riker. Troi. Picard. The reunion we've been waiting for! How did we find the Rikers? How did we feel about how we found them? What is Nepenthe? What did Dr. Jurati see? Is Admiral Oh from the mirror universe? Is the synth-fueled fate she relayed to Jurati from that universe? Is Hugh dead? WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THIS SHOW!? We have fun, favorite quotes, and easter eggs as well!
At last, the truth is realized by Soji, and Picard is reunited with Hugh at the artifact! But there's plenty going on in this episode! We have the breakdown, pertinent character moments, theories, listener feedback, and all the geek-outs right here!
What did you think?

or you can e-mail us StarTrekuCast@gmail.com
Seven of Nine kicks all kinds of butt this episode, and we're loving every minute, every gut-punch, every twist, and every amazing easter-egg!
Join us as we discuss our favorite moments, where we think it might all be heading, listener theories (and our own), and why we feel like Voyager's The Doctor should be in the show before this season's over!
What did you think?
We tweet @StarTrekUCast
or you can e-mail us StarTrekuCast@gmail.com
The plot thickens, and we thicken with it! Actually, that sounds kinda gross.
Join us anyway as we discuss the newest developments in the continuously developing Picard things! I don't know words this week, but it's okay because we enjoyed this episode of Star Trek: Picard, and get mighty theory-heavy!
Find out why Voyager's Doctor could be in cahoots with Bruce Maddox! Find out how cool it would be if B4 were really a lobotomized Lore who also now houses Data's memories!
Yeah, we talk a lot. Plus, we discuss your feedback! So that's pretty nice and awesome of us, I think. Almost as nice and awesome as you are for listening and feedbacking!
It's a return to form this week! Picard has us on the edge of our seats, and we're having fun talking synthetic psychics, time travel, possible connections to Chabon's Calypso and Discovery, plus possible answers about the economy of Earth and allegorical ties to our own current climate! We get down on Romulan/Federation conspiracies, some favorite quotes, and listener feedback! It was a fun time! Plus, you'll never guess what Dave thought Matt said about Soji's mom!
'Picard' loses us in many ways this week! Convenient magic box technobabble problem solving, a plodding narrative, and (possibly) spiteful retconning are among the reasons this episode felt less like a love letter and more like a flaming bag of poo on our porch.
After nearly 20 years, we are FINALLY following a BRAND new adventure with Jean-Luc Picard! Without giving any spoilers, this is a terrific episode! It was everything we wanted and more! We're talking plot, spoilers, and theories about what might be down the road for our beloved Jean-Luc!
It's the last entry on our Primer to Picard, and this episode we're talking about the divisive Star Trek: Nemesis! We're discussing how the film holds up, how it might tie into the upcoming Star Trek: Picard series, our favorite quotes, and trivia! Plus, a brand new 'Nemesis'-inspired song from Matt's band The Garage!
We're almost to the finish line on our Primer to Picard, and this episode we're talking about the (almost) universally beloved Star Trek: First Contact! We're discussing how the film holds up 24 years later, how it might tie into the upcoming Star Trek: Picard series, our favorite quotes, and trivia! Plus, a brand new 'First Contact'-inspired song from Matt's band The Garage!
On the road to Picard, one must find themselves considering the seventh Star Trek film, Generations. Jean Luc's trials and tribulations are substantial in this piece, and we're considering how this might play into the future of Star Trek, as well as to judge it on its own merits.
The newest Short Trek is doing a little setup for the upcoming Picard series, and we have plenty to talk about in terms of who the"rogue synths" might be!

Star Trek Universe Podcast #061: 'Picard' Primer - "I, Borg" (TNG 5x23) Review
Sad news today, December 3rd. Yesterday, we lost Star Trek giant D.C. Fontana. She passed away peacefully at the age of 80, reportedly after a short illness.
As a young girl of 11, Dorothy Catherine Fontana decided she wanted to become a novelist. After getting an Associate Degree as an Executive Secretarial major at Fairleigh Dickinson University, she worked her way up through the typing pool to quickly become the secretary to Samuel Peeples of Screen Gems, then to producer Del Reisman of the Lieutenant where she met and became secretary to that show’s creator Gene Roddenberry.
Roddenberry encouraged her writing, and in 1964, she published her first novel, a western Brazos River.
After The Lieutenant was canceled, Roddenberry started work on Star Trek, and Fontana came with him. She worked on it since the beginning of development. Associate producer Robert H. Justman encouraged Roddenberry to give her more writing tasks, and Roddenberry assigned her the job of writing the teleplay for an idea he had called "The Day Charlie Became God"—the premise of which she wrote into her reworked script for the episode that became "Charlie X". Other Original Series episodes she had a hand in writing or re-writing:
"Tomorrow is Yesterday", "This Side of Paradise", "Friday’s Child", "Journey to Babel", "By Any Other Name", "The Ultimate Computer", "The Enterprise Incident", "That Which Survives", and "The Way to Eden" among others…
When Steve Carabatsos, the story editor, left the production midway through the first season, she became the new story editor. At the age of 27, Fontana was the youngest story editor in Hollywood at the time, and also one of the few female staff writers.
She left the story editor position before the third season went into production: "I had told Gene Roddenberry that I did not wish to continue on Star Trek as story editor because I wanted to freelance and write for other series. I did, however, want to continue to do scripts for Star Trek. Gene was agreeable to this, and I was given a contract in February of 1968 which called for a guarantee of three scripts, with an option for three more. Whenever anyone has asked why I chose to leave Star Trek's story editorship, I have always given this reply."
However, Fontana was very unhappy with the rewrites done on her third season scripts, including "The Enterprise Incident" and "The Way to Eden" (originally submitted as "Joanna" by Fontana, featuring Doctor McCoy's daughter). She was unhappy with the way Roddenberry re-wrote the episodes they wrote together. She used the pseudonym "J. Michael Bingham" for "The Naked Now", as she was especially unhappy with the episode.
Another of Fontana's contributions to The Original Series was her discovery and introduction to Gene Roddenberry of costume designer William Ware Theiss. She was an active contributor to the officially endorsed fanzine Inside Star Trek, for which she conducted interviews with several key production staffers, most notably the one with Theiss, the only published one on record.
Over the years, she maintained a working relationship with Roddenberry, serving as his assistant on The Questor Tapes, Genesis II, and was hired as story editor and associate producer on Star Trek: The Animated Series. "Yesteryear".
She would also work on The Fantastic Journey, Logan’s Run, Six Million Dollar Man, Buck Rogers of the 25th Century, The Waltons, and finally back to Star Trek where she worked up the initial concept for the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation: “Encounter at Farpoint” earning a Hugo Award nomination, co-invented the "LCARS" concept, and wrote four other episodes of the season, “The Naked Now”, “Lonely Among Us”, “Too Short a Season”, and “Heart of Glory”, before departing (along with all the Original Series production staff) due to the meddlings of Roddenberry's lawyer, Leonard Maizlish.
She also returned to write DS9: "Dax", her last “canon” involvement with Star Trek, in which a great deal of Jadzia Dax' backstory was fleshed out.
She would also go on to write for Babylon 5, Earth: Final Conflict, and then wrote the stories of the video games Star Trek: Secret of Vulcan Fury (unreleased), Star Trek: Bridge Commander, Star Trek: Legacy and Star Trek: Tactical Assault all with Derek Chester, and an episode of the fan production Star Trek: New Voyages, the episode "To Serve All My Days" in 2006, on which she worked alongside Jack Treviño and Ethan H. Calk. Fiction
She wrote the Star Trek novel “Vulcan's Glory” (1989) and the IDW comic series “Star Trek: Year Four - The Enterprise Experiment”.
Leonard Nimoy credited her for expanding Vulcan culture within Star Trek. As Star Trek fans, we owe a tremendous debt to D.C. Fontana. Without her, Star Trek might never have been as successful as it ultimately has been. If you doubt, realize that gene Roddenberry understood it himself. It’s why he kept asking her back and making her story editor and associate producer. She got it. She got it enough to craft integral backstories for, time-tested fictional characters and cultures. She was a bad ass and a trailblazer for other women. Most recently, she worked as a senior lecturer at the American Film Institute, where she mentored aspiring screenwriters, producers, and directors. She is survived by her husband, Oscar-winning visual effects cinematographer Dennis Skotak, and her family asks for memorial donations to be made to the Humane Society, the Best Friends Animal Society, or to the American Film Institute.
Until next time, go watch or read something D.C. Fontana had a hand in, and do like Dorothy: Live long. Prosper.
