Positively Trek 267: Book Club: Morn’s Little Partner in Crime Deep Space Nine: The Dog of War At the height of the Dominion War, Deep Space Nine receives an unexpected guest: a priceless purebred corgi, which Quark names Latinum. Along with the adorable canine comes a mysterious Borg component which might help the Federation and its allies win the war… or spell doom for the entire Alpha Quadrant. In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Brandi discuss Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Dog of War, a comic miniseries from IDW that was recently released as a graphic novel. We talk about all five issues, including Quark’s discovery of his love of one dog in particular, Sisko’s dilemma, and the mysterious shadowy organization with the ridiculous name “The Brokers on the Black Market.” Purchase Deep Space Nine: The Dog of War: Paperback: Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/3QAfgDe Amazon.ca: https://amzn.to/3SFcjDL Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3SCxYMY Kindle: Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/4bnqdS5 Amazon.ca: https://amzn.to/49kjMxg Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3HNX7ha Show page: http://www.positivelytrek.com/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628 Twitter: http://twitter.com/positivelytrek Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek Help support the podcast!

Positively Trek 266: He’s Already More Human Than Human Data: Part One When Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered in 1987, Star Trek fans were given an entire new cast of characters to love. One character in particular proved to be extremely popular: the sentient android, Lt. Commander Data. In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan continue their series on the characters of Star Trek by highlighting our favourite automaton. We talk about his introduction, compare him to TOS’s Spock, and discuss the impact his character had on us and on the rest of Trek fandom. There is a lot to talk about with regards to Data, so this is just part one of a two-part exploration of his character.

Positively Trek 265: Book Club: Seven of Nine Knows Her Name! Picard: Firewall with David Mack & Guest Host Jessie Gender In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, Dan Gunther and guest host Jessie Gender welcome David Mack to the show to discuss his new novel, Star Trek: Picard: Firewall. When the USS Voyager returned to Earth, Seven of Nine’s life looked promising: Earth, the bastion of acceptance and equality, stood ready to accept the former Borg with open arms. Right? Reality proved to be very different from what had been promised, and soon Seven finds herself on the outside looking in. Refused a commission in Starfleet, and even denied Federation membership, she sets out to find herself, beginning a journey that would eventually lead to the Fenris Rangers and the Seven that we meet in the series Star Trek: Picard.

Positively Trek 261: The Enduring Personality of James T. Kirk A 60s Icon Through a 21st Century Lens “Space… The Final Frontier.” With those four words, the voice of Captain James T. Kirk echoes through the minds of Star Trek fans everywhere. Our first peek into the Star Trek universe showed us the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise with the stalwart Captain Kirk commanding the ship and our imaginations. In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan embark on the first of many character examinations, and we start where it all began: with Captain James T. Kirk. Most notably played by William Shatner, and ably reprised by Chris Pine and Paul Wesley, Kirk is an inextricable part of Star Trek. What does this character represent? How do we feel about how he has been portrayed over the years?

Positively Trek 259: Nova Squadron, Red Squad, and Badmirals The Problem with Starfleet Meritocracy The future as seen in Star Trek is one free from the concerns of modern-day capitalism. In the words of Jean-Luc Picard, “The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.” So, what drives humans in their day-to-day lives in the future? In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry take a look at Starfleet and the Federation through the lens of meritocracy: a system based on influence or power wielded by those whom society deems are educated and skilled. We also examine some problems that might arise from that system through the examples of Nova Squadron, Red Squad, and a flock of seriously corrupt “badmirals.” Show page: http://www.positivelytrek.com/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628 Twitter: http://twitter.com/positivelytrek Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek Help support the podcast!

Positively Trek 256: Book Club: Making It So: A Memoir Sir Patrick Stewart’s Life: In His Own Words Since first appearing on our television screens in 1987 as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Patrick Stewart has been a bit of an enigma to Star Trek fans. Over the years, this “Unknown British Shakespearean Actor” (as he was referred to as in the LA Times that year) has become a familiar and much-loved presence as the lead of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Now, his life is laid bare in his new memoir for all to read. In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Bruce discuss Making It So: A Memoir by Sir Patrick Stewart. We discuss our expectations for the book, his early life, his relationships, his time before and after starring as Jean-Luc Picard, and much more!
