After seven seasons and one very contested transporter accident, we welcome Voyager executive producer and co-creator of Tuvix, Ken Biller, for a wide-ranging conversation about the legacy of Star Trek: Voyager. Guest co-host Earl Green joins John to explore the creative pressures behind the series finale, the constraints of ’90s television, and how a light-hearted idea about a goofy transporter mix-up became one of Trek’s most morally complex debates. Also: alternate titles, unwritten sequels, and that time Ken was a Jeopardy! answer.
It’s a candid, thoughtful look back from someone who was there from the first season to Endgame. (more…)
After seven seasons and one hell of a journey, it’s time to start wrapping up Star Trek: Voyager. John and Norman are joined by TrekCulture’s Ellie Littlechild to take a look back, starting with Ellie’s viral article “10 Most Forgettable Voyager Episodes.” Which ones did we forget… and which ones should we? Then we turn to a much harder task: naming our personal top three “essential” Voyager episodes (spoiler: there’s no way we’re sticking three). Plus, we tackle some listener comments and invite you to stick around for more Voyager wrap-up coming soon. (more…)
In the Star Trek: Voyager episose Endgame, after 23 years in the Delta Quadrant, Admiral Janeway finally made it home, but at too high a cost. Now she’s crossing time and space to rewrite history, determined to give her crew a better ending. But who decides what the “right” ending is? And is it worth risking everything they already sacrificed to find out? One timeline, two stubborn Janeways, and a final reckoning with the Borg when Endgame goes into the Mission Log.
Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao
