Welcome back dear Trek friends to an impromptu, rather downbeat special episode of this here podcast. It was announced a few days ago that Star Trek: Discovery has been cancelled, it's upcoming fifth season will be it's last, and Mike and D.K are not happy. With Paramount hemorrhaging money, Picard already concluding and the film franchise completely dead in the water the future of the recently-branded "Star Trek Universe" is looking rocky. Heck it's looking rocky, rocky 2 and half of the one with Mr. T! Along with an explanation of just what's going on, and statements from the people behind the scenes, we break down our own thoughts on this sad news. We explain our continued disappointment with Paramount for multiple continuing reasons, speculate about what the future might hold and conclude with our rankings of every Trek series to date (including seeing how the newer Trek stack up). Join us for our passionate, geeky chat and feel free to share your own thoughts and opinions any time, but keep it civil and respectful. Remember; Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. Live long and prosper.
THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SOME STRONG LANGUAGE. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
