As you are all aware, it had been a while since we last released an episode of Talk Trek.  Last week, before the release of Episode 52, we decided to sit down amongst the four of us and discuss some random topics from 2011.  Hopefully 2012 turns out better from a Talk Trek perspective than 2011 did.

Enjoy.

We're back!  It's been far too long, but we'll make it up to you.  This episode was recorded back in August, 2010 (we think), so a lot of what we're talking about might be a tad dated.

The Enterprise discovers the derelict starship Exeter drifting in space, its entire crew killed by an unknown plague.

Extragalactic aliens starshipjack the Enterprise and turn the crew into inert solids, leaving the four senior officers on their own to exploit their captors' weaknesses. Join Kelvin Johnson and the rest of the Talk Trek crew as they boldly explore these extagalatic beings in an extravagant extravaganza.

So, join us as The Enterprise discovers a planet where a Federation historian has apparently interfered with its society to have it model Nazi Germany.  We dig deep into the fundamental social ills of Nazism and socialist workers in modern civilization.

It is Super Bowl Sunday everybody!  We've had many requests to release this latest episode before the Super Bowl so that listeners can play it during their respective parties.  Well, the Crew has obliged as always.

In this latest Original Series episode, Kirk, Uhura and Chekov are kidnapped by aliens and forced to fight other aliens so that a mentally superior race can gamble on the winner.

It may sound like Arena, but the NewPowerSoulMan attempts to refute!  Learn what contingents he uses to declare his contingency!  Does that statement even make sense?  Find out all this and more while you listen to The Gamesters of Triskelion!!!

A dispute over control of a planet brings Enterprise to a space station, where they must deal with Klingons, edgy Starfleet Command officials, and a previously-unknown race of small, unbearably cute, voraciously hungry and rapidly-multiplying furry creatures.

Welcome to 2010!

We kicked off the new year by testing out some new audio equipment and having a bit of a Talk Trek Pre-Extravaganza party.  The actual Extravaganza (known from now on as TTE) will be held in March 2010.  It's going to be huge!

The Pre-TTE was held at an undisclosed location in northeastern Wisconsin (way back in the woods à la Bon Iver) last weekend and video was taken by the NewPowerSoulMan.

Enjoy!

It's been a long time coming... I'm sure most of you thought we had gone down that deadly year route. But alas, we have returned - more refreshed than ever!

This episode is sort of a scary one. When Enterprise discovers a colony full of rapidly-aging scientists, whatever caused the rapid aging afflicts them as well. Chekov may be their only hope for survival.

When Chekov is your only hope for survival, you have some real problems.

Turn up your tri-corders and set your communicators to voice mail, Talk Trek is hailing you for adventure! 

The Enterprise becomes involved in a local power struggle on planet Capella IV, where the Klingons want mining rights.

From the bottom of the hearts of the Talk Trek crew, we are so terribly sorry about the inexcusable absence of new Talk Trek episodes.  It has been nearly four months since our latest release.  However, we are getting ready to rear back and fire into the winter months with tons full of new episodes.

Stay tuned...  In two days (Thursday, 8PM CST), the new episode will be revealed.  Episode 32 - The Changeling will be released.

Another update:  The winner of this year's Listener's Choice episode is "Yesterday's Enterprise."  Congrats to Daniel N... as his name was the one we pulled from the hat!

Happy Holidays to everyone!  Thanks so much for being on the wagon during our time of withdrawal...

Dear Listeners -

We are terribly sorry for the delay.  Perhaps "Who Mourns for Adonaïs?" is such a great episode from the original series that we had to spend so much time getting the podcast right.  Yeah... that sounds like a good excuse!  :)

In any event, we are back.  Stay tuned for a steady stream of podcasts from now on (until we take our next break)!

So, please come with us as we invest our minds in Greek mythology and learn about the true Apollo.  Was he really a god?  Or was he just trying to score with the new blonde chick on the planet?

We’ve come to the season finale of Talk Trek!  Star Trek’s last show of season one is a blast, an operation fraught with danger and a little bit of malaise on the side.  But have no fear; the crew of the Enterprise can tackle any undertaking.

In this episode, the Deneva colony is attacked by neural parasites that cause mass insanity while the crew of Enterprise search for a way to stop them.

Join us as we venture deep into the dark chasms of not only space, but our minds as well.  We shall search the depths of our soul in an attempt to convincingly judge right from wrong as we debate the demerits of democracy and oddly-filled nets of lard.

Just so everyone knows...  Talk Trek is coming back!  Stay tuned for the latest episode (A Taste of Armageddon) to be released within the first week of the new year.  Talk Trek was impacted by a slight podcaster's strike, but all issues have been resolved, and all obstacles have been removed.  Lady Trek will also be back with a bang, and we will see if there have been any new adventures for our friend and resident blond German pilot, Pete!

In this week's episode, we are going back to the future!  Or at least the crew of the Enterprise is attempting to get themselves back to their future. The Enterprise is hurled back in time to the year 1969, where the US Air Force sights it as a UFO.  And if one thing is for sure, late '60s America was not ready for Mr. Spock!

Though Brett from St. Paul was not able to join us this week, let the rest of the crew take you back in time where F-104s ruled the sky and Kirk fights by going horizontal.

Arrrghsssss!!! That loosely translates into, "Welcome to Talk Trek!" Kirk is pitted in a barehanded duel against a Gorn! Pete's favorite Star Trek monster! Arrrghssssss! That also means too many Romulan bean burritos! PLEASE NOTE: This is the extended, longer cut of Talk Trek (Arena) for those who like to watch the dvds along with us. You might prefer our shorter, edited version in case you're living life at warp 8. We're releasing these at the same time so you can compare and tell us what you like.

The Enterprise is captured by Trelane, the childish ruler of Gothos.  Will Trelane let the crew of the Enterprise live peacefully?  Or is this just another one of his games?

Come join the crew of Talk Trek as they venture on to one of Star Trek's lesser-valued episodes.  Is it not all that it's cracked up not to be?  Or is it more?

And what does the Liberace have to do with it all?

Spock faces difficult command decisions when his shuttle, the Galileo 7, crashes on a world populated by barbarous giants! Meanwhile Kirk has a strangely caped Commissioner on his back to abandon his pointy-eared friend and deliver medicine to the plagued people of New Paris. No, It's not easy being in the command seat... but maybe with a little luck, logic and emotion, everything will turn out okay... or maybe not! Find out! Join the Talk Trek crew as they boldly go where no barbarous manimal has gone before.

An actor traveling aboard the Enterprise may be a former governor who ordered a mass-murder twenty years ago.

Let us welcome back Brett and say adieu to the Vontresc!  But only for this episode.  The Vontresc was out picking up material for Lady Trek during this recording.  Next week, we may have some news.

Spock kidnaps Captain Pike and hijacks the Enterprise.

So sorry to everyone for taking so much time with this episode.  But it's a good one!  The Menagerie!  This is actually one of our favorite episodes.  It's written by Gene Roddenberry and includes part of the pilot in the show.  In addition, you have Susan Oliver, one of the best looking Star Trek women of all time (in Njord4's opinion - others disagree) playing a major role. Take a listen, and let us know what you think. 

Please write to us at talktrek@gmail.com. 

P.S. We are planning on starting a new thread only for Lady Treks.  It appears that there may be some hope yet for the Vontresc!  Stay tuned!

Live Long and Talk Trek!

"Open your mind; we float together... each of us sharing the same thoughts..."

Welcome back to a new show... Dagger of the Mind!  With this show, we have changed the format a bit.  We've heard your pleas concerning the silence between our thoughts, and perhaps a bit about the length of the show; so, we have tried something new.  Let us know if you like it.

A routine visit to the Tantalus Penal Colony proves dangerous for Kirk and an Enterprise psychiatrist.
