"The Life of the Stars" Starfleet Academy S1E08 Review SNWF050

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 21:28:21 -0000

The Redshirts continue their Starfleet Academy watch with episode eight, “The Life of the Stars,” as SP, Jake, and Carolyn tackle one of the season’s most emotional chapters, where a returning Tilly pushes the cadets to confront grief, trauma, and what it truly means to serve. The discussion dives into Tilly’s surprising effectiveness as a mentor, the doctor’s introspective narration on time and loss, and how the cadets process recent events through theater, memory, and shared pain. Along the way, they debate whether the episode’s placement works in a tight 10-episode season, question lingering timeline and Academy continuity issues, and highlight character moments for Sam, Tarima, and Genesis—plus a few classic Trek callbacks and humor beats. The crew wraps up with episode ratings, thoughts on the season’s pacing and future, listener feedback, and of course, another round of Trek trivia

"Ko'Zeine" Starfleet Academy S1E07 Review SNWF049

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 23:41:01 -0000

The Redshirts dives deep into Starfleet Academy Episode 7, unpacking everything from budding friendships and complicated romances to the leadership potential emerging among the cadets. The hosts debate whether the growing dynamic between the main characters is heading toward a classic Kirk–Spock style partnership or something more romantic, while also breaking down Caleb’s evolving relationships with Tarima and Genesis and the tough lessons that come with command decisions. Along the way, they celebrate the episode’s imaginative world-building—from visually striking alien marriage traditions and the “matrimonial moon” to quirky moments like warp slugs and the hilarious “toxic or non-toxic” game—while also spotlighting the writers, director, and production choices behind the episode. Add in lively tangents about Star Trek canon, sci-fi storytelling, and a round of Star Trek trivia, and you’ve got an energetic, thoughtful discussion that explores both the heart and the humor of the newest Starfleet adventure.

"Come, Let's Away" Starfleet Academy S1E06 Review SNWF048

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 23:00:00 -0000

The Redshirts dive into one of Starfleet Academy’s most intense and emotionally charged episodes yet as SP, Jake, and Carolyn break down the cadets’ first real training mission gone disastrously wrong. The Redshirts tackle loss, sacrifice, and hard lessons about duty as the Academy crew faces a deadly derelict ship, a brutal new enemy, and the reality that Starfleet service comes with real consequences. The discussion covers Tarima’s dangerous telepathic gamble, if Caleb has a growing discomfort with others sacrificing themselves for him, the delivering of a deliciously hateable villain in Nus, and whether the episode finally proves this series is willing to raise the stakes. Along the way, the hosts debate writing choices, villain motivation, Academy preparedness, standout performances, and the emotional impact of losing a cadet, before closing out with ratings, classic Trek connections, listener feedback, and the always-chaotic Trek trivia segment.

"Series Acclimation Mil" Starfleet Academy S1E05 Review SNWF047

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 05:24:52 -0000

The Redshirts continue their Starfleet Academy watch with episode five as SP, Jake, and Carolyn break down what may be their favorite episode of the series so far, spotlighting the introduction of a photonic cadet and the surprisingly heartfelt questions of identity, autonomy, and belonging that come with her arrival. The discussion covers holographic life and consent, comparisons to Data, Odo, and the Voyager Doctor, midterm chaos at the Academy, Caleb’s ongoing distraction and search for his mother, and how humor—flattening fish, Academy announcements, and drunk Sam—balances heavier themes. The hosts also dive into the episode’s standout bar fight, guest voice performances, creative team pedigree, and whether this episode represents a turning point for the series overall. As always, the conversation wanders into classic Trek connections, season-structure frustrations, listener feedback, and wraps up with another round of Trek trivia before signing off.

"Vox in Excelso" Starfleet Academy S1E04 Review SNWF046

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 23:46:45 -0000

The Redshirts continue their Starfleet Academy watch with episode four, “Vox in Excelso,” as SP, Jake, and Carolyn dig into a Jay-Den Kraag focused Klingon episode. The discussion covers Jay-Den’s debate meltdown and eventual breakthrough, how the episode reframes Klingons, Caleb’s rule-based debate personality versus community experience, and Chancellor Ake and Admiral Vance attempts to steer political and cultural outcomes in a Federation-based solution. Along the way, the Redshirt reacts to classic Trek callbacks, Academy weirdness, moments of unexpected humor, and whether the episode solves complex ideas a little too neatly, before closing out with thoughts on character growth, lingering season frustrations, and where the show seems to be heading next. And don't forget the Trek trivial segment at the end, and some great listener feedback.

"Vitus Reflux" Starfleet Academy S1E03 Review SNWF045

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 02:52:12 -0000

The Redshirts give you an extra long review of the Star Trek series Starfleet Academy third episode "Vitus Reflux." In this 32rd Century version of Hogwarts, the episode dives headfirst into a classic underdog showdown, using a flashy competition with the War College to explore something much deeper: trust, leadership, and growing beyond fear. As rival cadets trade smug Vulcan smack talk, Klingon muscle, and the occasional exploding replicator, the real battle becomes internal—especially for Caleb, whose instinct to brute-force every problem finally gives way to a hard-won realization that teamwork matters more than ego. Genesis steps into true leadership, Tig delivers some of the episode’s sharpest emotional truths about chosen family, and Chancellor Ake quietly proves she’s playing a much longer, smarter game than anyone realizes. While familiar tropes and a divisive dash of teen romance spark debate with Carolyn, Jake, and SP, the episode ultimately lands as a character-driven turning point—one that shows Starfleet’s future learning to move past survival, fear, and isolation, toward cooperation, trust, and growth.

"Beta Test" Starfleet Academy S1E02 Review SNWF044

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 02:35:23 -0000

The Redshirts continue their watch of the Star Trek series Starfleet Academy with the second episode "Beta Test." SP, Jake and Carolyn discuss Caleb's rule bending noncommittal attitude, ask why Betazoids need to use sign language, where the center of the Federation should be, the mystery of why Tarima chose her college, Academy roommate chaos, all the great Tig moments, and why Jake considers the weak series writing so far. The trio ends the episode with some more fun Star Trek trivia.

"Kids These Days" Starfleet Academy S1E01 Review SNWF043

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:13:14 -0000

It's the offseason for Star Trek Strange New Worlds so we decided to pickup the new Star Trek series Starfleet Academy while we wait. SP, Jake and Carolyn watch with open minds but bring all their bias of their previous trek viewing. They enjoy all the Starfleet nods of both old and new Trek, the 60th anniversary Trek intro, and the ship that is also a school. SP is concerned about teen angst, Jake is concerned about the writings knowing Trek lore, and Carolyn just needs to know what the Athena ship's registry number stands for (NCC 392023). Bear with us as we slightly confuse episodes as we record and try to catch up to real time in the face of real-life obstacles. The trio does bring back some 2016 Star trek trivia which Jake bests us all. Let us know what you think! We'll read your e-mails on the show.

"New Life and New Civilizations" S3E10 Review SNWF042

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 23:00:00 -0000

It is the end of the third season and there's a full crew to discuss if all the individual great moments combine to a great finale. SP, Jake and Carolyn touch on the good, the bad, and the tangents. From Batel and Pike's Inner Light sequence to Doctor Who and timey whimey timelines to the Spock-Kirk mind meld. They also have fun discussing how close of a relative La'An is to Khan, the lunar manure shuttle run, great Doctor Who - Strange New Worlds Character pair-ups, and the Vulcan Doug's best friend. Carolyn gives a brief summary of the 2025 Rose City Comic Con, and the trio get one last game of Star Trek Trivial Pursuit in for the season.

Section 31 (2025) Review - SNWF031

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 02:04:37 -0000

Captain Bubbles (A.K.A. Shannon) was in it for Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis while her crew of Starfleet Section 35 Chief Commander Klinger (Jake) and Agent SP (A.K.A. SP) discuss and review the 2025 Paramount+ streaming movie "Star Trek: Section 31." The crew run down how big of a departure the movie was from traditional Star Trek while retaining amazing nods to existing Trek storylines, the delicious history of Rachel Garrett and the actor that portrayed her Kacey Rohl, the alien sex/mecha boom-boom/lost Deltan, how the fight scenes came off, if Philippa Georgiou was redeemable or not, the sad state of Trek tech, and possible Section 31 futures.

Thank you for listening to our coverage of Section 31. Strange New Worlds Fancast will return later in 2025 to cover Strange New Worlds season 3.

"Hegemony" S2E10 Review - SNWF030

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 01:48:12 -0000

In this, the last episode of Strange New Worlds Season 2 is a bit bittersweet. It's awesome and we love it but we most likely aren't gonna get another for a while. Join us as we gather to enjoy the cliffhanger that is 'Hegemony' and talk about who is carrying Gorn spawn.

"Subspace Rhapsody" S2E9 Review - SNWF029

Fri, 04 Aug 2023 02:28:45 -0000

We've got Klingon-Boy-Bands and Wubba-Lubbas all over this cast. You just never know what is going to come your way with Strange New Worlds, and today, it was a musical. We know what you're thinking but honestly, it does get better. However, just know we have one episode left after t his and we are stoked for it.

"Under The Cloak of War" S2E08 Review - SNWF028

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 16:12:53 -0000

Season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is completely crushing it with the last few episodes and that trend continues with episode eight. PTSD, super solider doctors, and a self-defense/murder that no cameras on the ship caught at all due to HIPAA regulations. Yeah, you know what happened there.

"Those Old Scientists" S2E07 Review - SNWF027

Thu, 27 Jul 2023 02:21:07 -0000

We are geeking out here! Season 2 Episode 7 of Strange New Worlds 'Those Old Scientists' is one of the best Star Trek episodes ever put out and even Shannon who doesn't like animated anything was won over by Boimler and Mariner! It's that good.

"Lost in Translation" S2E6 Review - SNWF026

Fri, 21 Jul 2023 03:15:24 -0000

Jake and Sean review 'Lost in Translation' and can't help but talk about the table scene where we see history being made. There is also a fair amount of prune juice equivalency in this episode - trust us, its a thing.

"Charades" S2E5 Review - SNWF025

Fri, 21 Jul 2023 03:02:08 -0000

We're back and completely geeking out about the Spock, T'pring, Chapel love triangle and really think T'pring is the keeper here even though Sean loves Chapel with all his heart.

"Among The Lotus Eaters" S2E04 Review - SNWF024

Fri, 07 Jul 2023 01:55:44 -0000

It's a fine day for a new episode of Strange New Worlds! Its actually pretty fitting that I almost forgot today was Star Trek watching day and Shannon couldn't remember the name of the episode as in this one everybody forgot everything anyway!

"Tomorrow Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" S2E03 Review - SNWF023

Fri, 30 Jun 2023 01:06:38 -0000

This was the episode Sean was waiting for! It had Time Travel, La'an, yoga pants, fights, explosions, and muscle cars. Shannon however was bored out of her mind. Go figure. As always it takes all kinds and we are here for it!

"Ad Astra per Aspera" S2E2 Review - SNWF022

Fri, 23 Jun 2023 02:44:07 -0000

It was a courtroom drama this time on Strange New Worlds! Shannon was here for it because Una, Jake loved to see Erica be loyal and Spock "Outbursting" and Sean couldn't be bothered unless things were blowing up.

"The Broken Circle" S2E1 Review - SNWF021

Fri, 16 Jun 2023 01:42:20 -0000

Welcome back to Strange New Worlds, we are so excited about season two and have just watched the first episode! It's a great day to be a Star Trek fan and away we go with drunk Vulcans, fighting doctors, and a stolen ship. Join us!

”The Last Generation” Star Trek Picard S3E10 - SNWF P3 Edition

Sun, 23 Apr 2023 03:20:29 -0000

Captain Bubbles (A.K.A. Shannon) takes the Laris loss but the PB&J gain while her crew of Starfleet Section 35 Chief Commander Klinger (Jake) and Guest Star Chief Miles O'Brien (A.K.A. SP or StarPi from Voices Of Defiance and Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D.) discuss and review the Picard season 3 finale episode "The Last Generation." The crew run down all the wonderful Trek fan service and nostalgia, their favorite finale moments, The Next Generation's cast characters forward movement, what's left on the table for a future series like Star Trek Legacy, the season's writing, remaining plot holes, missed character opportunities, and their last fond farewell to the cast that's been in their hearts since 1987.

”Vox” Star Trek Picard S3E9 - SNWF P3 Edition

Sat, 15 Apr 2023 18:41:35 -0000

Captain Bubbles (A.K.A. Shannon) is finally reunited with her collective and all but forgets about her fascination with Laris while the crew of Starfleet Section 35 Chief Commander Klinger (Jake) and Guest Star Mr. Mot (A.K.A. SP or StarPi from Voices Of Defiance and Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D.) discuss and review the Picard season 3 ninth and penultimate episode "Vox." The crew discuss the episode's writing, big Borg reveal, the counseling Jack Crusher will need, the carpet onboard the Enterprise, Shaw's sacrifice, and the painfully slow moving Starfleet attack on Spacedock. The trio have a lot of fun along the way and look forward to their opportunities to see the finale on IMAX (if it's available to them). Join the crew and let them know what you think.

Last Best Hope

Worf's ascendance to commanding the Enterprise is detailed in the canonical prequel novel, Star Trek: Picard: The Last Best Hope by Una McCormack.

When news of the Romulan supernova reached Starfleet, Picard was summoned to Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco. In a meeting with Commander-in-Chief Victor Bordson and Captain Kirsten Clancy (Ann Magnuson), Picard accepted a long-overdue promotion to Admiral in order to lead the Romulan rescue mission. But this meant Picard had to immediately relinquish command of his beloved Enterprise so, naturally, he suggested Worf, his current First Officer to become the new Captain. But Clancy balked at Worf getting the big chair and for good reason: the Klingon has a permanent black mark on his record. In the DS9 season 6 episode "Change of Heart", Worf allowed a Starfleet Intelligence operative to during a secret mission, choosing, instead, to rescue his injured wife Dax on the planet Soukara. Afterward, Captain Sisko told Worf that "[Starfleet will] probably never give you a command of your own after this."

Captain Clancy was correct to raise this disciplinary issue with Worf taking command of the Enterprise, which is the flagship of the United Federation of Planets. Picard argued for his First Officer's spotless record since that incident, which occurred almost a decade before this meeting. As to the question of Worf's judgment, Picard noted that the memory of that mistake makes Worf even more careful about his decision-making. Picard was also offended at the idea that he would select Worf to be his First Officer if he didn't think the Klingon was capable of being a worthy Captain someday.

Picard won the argument when he pointed out that a century prior, during the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the Klingons came to the Federation for help and they eventually became such staunch allies that a Klingon rose to the position of commanding the Federation flagship. Jean-Luc's point was that the Romulans could see the symbolism, which would help them understand what was possible in a long-term peace with the Federation. Clancy finally relented and she admitted that "The optics were good". With that, Admiral Picard officially relinquished command of the Enterprise to the newly-promoted Captain Worf.

SP's Top Gun Maverick Live Tweet:

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568325358943961088 The gratuitous opening carrier F-18 operations scene in Top Gun Maverick would have been a lot less action porn and a lot more story additive had the team for the mission been shown taking off and landing before cutting to Tom Cruise walking out of his hanger Airstream.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568325891394277376 It’s too bad Tom Cruise never actually lost anything in Top Gun Maverick. He won in every single situation and came out smelling like the good guy. Wheee was the loss? The sacrifice?

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568329487648948225 Tom Cruise’s recklessness in destroying the hypersonic Darkstar experimental plane in Top Gun Maverick was at least dereliction of duty and most likely Improper Hazarding of Aircraft. His ego and vanity did not match the reasoning. The personnel would have just been transferred

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568331101856301059 The scene in Tom Gun Maverick between Tom Cruise and Ed Harris was brilliant calling back to Ed’s John Glenn role in The Right Stuff. Ed tells Tom he should be a 2 star Admiral or a Senator. Glenn became an Ohio Senator and Ed was wearing 2 stars in the scene.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568331823372967937 The lack of F-35’s at Top Gun in Top Gun Maverick is … worrisome.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568333013087571969 I enjoyed Jon Hamm as Admiral “Cyclone” Simpson and Charles Parnell as Adm “Warlock” Bates in Top Gun Maverick but it would have been nice seeing Slider, Merlin or Wolfman from the 86 movie. Heck a nod to Ironside/Jester or Skerritt/Viper would have been nice too.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568333895728259079 The strike package selection for the mission in Top Gun was horrifying. The United States military possesses capabilities better suited for the job with less risk. Also the lack of consideration for human casualties at the facility is extremely unrealistic.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568334446033502210 The addition of Jennifer Connelly as Penny in Top Gun Maverick was a welcome sight and a fantastic tie to the 86 film. I loved the world building there. Although her car’s similarity to Charlie’s was not needed at all.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568335007097167874 The lack of a bar serenade in Top Gun Maverick was disappointing. Also the lack of flirting between Rooster and anyone was a missed opportunity for future chapters in the story. I believe this was a stupid decision by Tom Cruise to keep the attention on himself.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568335674020880387 Meg Ryan’s backstory in Top Gun Maverick was disappointing. Again, I believe this was done by Tom Cruise to keep the attention on himself.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568336210577301508 I’m struggling to understand how Hangman graduated top of his Top Gun class in Too Gun Maverick. His tactics and non team playing mindset would have gotten him low marks by the instructors.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568337040160202753 Why the enemy’s 5th Generation fighters couldn’t engage the F-18 strike package in Top Gun Maverick with Beyond Visual Range weapons is beyond me. That’s one of the keys for 5th Generation fighters.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568338030217289729 Technically Rooster’s helicopter shoot down in Top Gun Maverick is an air to air kill which puts him on par with Hangman.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568338249260613639 Let’s not even start about Tom Cruise flying the F-14 in Top Gun Maverick. Just. No.

But it was a deep good part of the film.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568338906180976642 Seeing Val Kilmer in Top Gun Maverick made up for a lot of what’s wrong in the film. It was well done with the exception of having the Pacific Fleet Commander not able to talk. He would be taken off of active duty. And we all know Iceman is the better pilot anyway. Sorry Tom.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568339340677316608 Having Penny not in the bar when Tom Cruise returned from the mission in Top Gun Maverick was unnecessary. I’m not really sure what the point to that was.

https://twitter.com/StargatePioneer/status/1568339774372720640 For Top Gun III how about we see Rooster and Phoenix instruct Amelia at Top Gun?

Oh. And no Tom Cruise please.
