Trek Geeks - A Star Trek Podcast is a casual discussion on Star Trek between two friends that have known each other for 20 years.

Each week, Dan Davidson and Bill Smith will highlight various Star Trek topics covering The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise...as well as the new feature films and independently produced shows! In addition, they'll stump one another with trivia and have conversations with various contributors and celebrities throughout the Star Trek Universe.

"Let's make sure history never forgets the name...Enterprise!" - Jean-Luc Picard

Military Log - Podcast Date 7/4/17.  It is considered to be one of the finest hours in Star Trek history.  Almost every list of favorite episodes includes this one.  It brings back a familiar face with the return of Tasha Yar and offers up an interesting moral dilemma!  It is Yesterday's Enterprise and the Trek Geeks finally have the discussion they have hinted at for quite a while!

It is no secret that Bill is not a huge fan of this episode and today you will finally get all the details of why.  While Dan admits he thinks it is a spectacular stand alone hour of Star Trek, he too has reservations about the ramifications of this episode in future seasons.  It is an interesting discussion that may have you re-thinking how you feel about good ole NCC-1701-C!

Plus, there are tons of new details about Star Trek Discovery including a "set in stone" premier date, an old friend will be directing an upcoming episode and we finally get a Discovery panel at an upcoming convention!

Finally, the Cosplay for Good fundraiser to help the Nevada SPCA is in full swing!  The Trek Geeks are raising money to help the largest no kill animal shelter in the Las Vegas area by wearing TNG Season 1 skants at STLV!  With a little over a month to go before the convention, the guys have an update on how things are going so far.

It's all in Episode 107 of Your Independent Star Trek Podcast! Whatever you do, don't alter the timeline by not listening!
