We're gonna set it straight, this neonate film series of all new Trek adventure with our ill communication about Star Trek 2009!New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz returns to the show this week to talk about the film series that turned Trek into a blockbuster and introduced a whole new generation to the adventures of Kirk and crew. When Romulus is destroyed at the end of the 24th century, the vengeful Nero is thrown into an alternate 23rd century, where his rampage takes the life of George Kirk. Now, George's son Jim will have to overcome his personal flaws and realize his destiny to take command of the USS Enterprise to save Earth and the Federation!As the TNG series of films wound down at the box office, Paramount returned to a question that had plagued the studio for over 20 years: "How could you ever recast Captain Kirk?" To finally answer that question, they turned to genre tv and film wunderkind JJ Abrams to give the familiar characters and world of Star Trek a makeover for the new millennium.

It's time to begin the procedure and say goodbye to the old era of Trek cinema as we come face-to-face with the last TNG film: "Star Trek: Nemesis"!Writer, podcaster, and Batman expert Chris Sims joins the show this week to talk about the much maligned though possibly misunderstood final film of the TNG era. When a vicious new faction comes to power in the Romulan Empire, Picard and his crew are sent to make an overture of détente to the new regime. When the faction's new leader is revealed to be a secret clone of Picard, Jen-Luc will be force to face a life that might have been...and one of his crew will be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice!Conventional Trek wisdom has always held that the odd-numbered films are bad and the even-numbered ones are good, and for some Trekkies that pattern was shattered by TNG's last film. It's hard to know exactly why the Next Generation as a cinematic brand had such a relatively short shelf life, but it wasn't for a lack of creativity on the part of the writers and direct

We're experiencing a perfect moment in time this week as we slow down to enjoy the third TNG film: "Star Trek: Insurrection"!Sasha Wood of Casually Comics returns to the show this week to discuss Michael Piller's uneven but endearing contribution to the TNG film series. The Enterprise discovers a remote planet of enlightened but defenseless race who is being victimized by the cruel Son'a. When the Federation forbids Picard to interfere, the captain and his crew will have to weigh their responsibility to Starfleet against the Ba'ku's right to exist!The benevolence of the Federation and Starfleet are taken for granted in Star Trek storytelling, but it would be naïve to deny the parallels between Starfleet's mission of discovery and the adventurous (and often predatory) explorers of Earth's past. Coming on the heels of the action-packed "First Contact", "Insurrection" was an attempt to refocus the TNG film series on the complicated themes that made its television counterpart so engrossing, and even though it was
