This week, Trek Geeks is back and we're celebrating our second birthday! We figured what better way to celebrate than to take a closer look at one of the best pilots of all the Trek shows!
"Enterprise" (without the "Star Trek") premiered in 2001 and it's first episode, "Broken Bow," took us back to a time before Kirk and Spock.
We'll take a look at this episode and discuss it's central themes, as well as some of the things that we think make it outstanding. We'll also examine some of the things that this episode might not have done as well as perhaps it could have.
In addition, we'll reveal the results of our Camp Khitomer poll on this episode and you'll see what kind of ranking our Campers give this series pilot!
Plus, lots of Star Trek: Discovery news and some unexpected developments in the Axanar case---it's all in Episode 90 0f Your Independent Star Trek Podcast!
SPECIAL THANKS!
We are incredibly grateful to FIVE YEAR MISSION for allowing us to use their music in our podcast each and every week. You really should check them out--they're writing and recording one original song for each episode of the classic Star Trek series from the 1960's.
Warp on over to their website at FiveYearMission.net and check out all of their fantastic albums! You can hear them all: Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, The Trouble with Tribbles, and of course, the amazing Spock's Brain! Plus, here is a little secret...they are working on Year 4 right now!
Plus, we absolutely want to see them back as the House Band for this year's Star Trek convention in Las Vegas! Don't forget to let Creation Entertainment know you'd like to see them, too! Tweet them, Facebook them, email them...and be sure to use the hashtag #5YMSTLV2017!
