Supplemental Log 01 – TrekRanks Independent 8:30

acum 34 weeks8:30

8:30

A short TrekRanks update for our listeners, as we release our first-ever supplemental episode to keep everyone up-to-date on the latest with TrekRanks. After seven years and a long, fruitful relationship with our friends at The Tricorder Transmissions Podcast Network, the TrekRanks Podcast is finally going independent as of Sept. 1, 2024. (This has nothing to do with the Bell Riots, we swear!) This quick update from host Jim Moorhouse will keep you informed on the reasons behind the decision and the logistics that went into it. For now, you really don’t need to do anything if you already follow us, as all of our followers are being redirected from Tricorder, but, of course, if that link ever went away (something we don’t anticipate happening), you would need to refollow us again. Anyway, 190 episodes down, and plenty more exciting topics coming up, as well as some new fresh content from TrekRanks as we approach episode 200. More on that to come in the next couple of months. Thanks for all of your support through the years. We love nothing more than talking about all the things we love about Star Trek with you.

TrekRanks Episode 190: Abstract V 1:42:43

We combine two of your favorites this week: our “abstract” topics with another “convention live show”! This week it is “Abstract V” live from Las Vegas with host Jim Moorhhouse and a panel five expert Trek fans (Alex Perry, Claire Little, Matt Hansen, Jamie McGregor and Ken Reilly) targeting their abstract picks related to the letter V (or is that a Romulan numeral V?!?). Anything is on the table for our abstract topics and for our live shows from Las Vegas, and there are more than a few surprises this week (including a surprise guest appearance). Episode Rundown: Prime Directive: With such a large panel, we skip our Diagnostic Cycle and jump into everyone’s quick Prime Directives to see how they made their final choices. The Order of Things: All the picks are revealed with the TrekRanks’ original “Five words and a hashtag” summary, along with one episode that helps frame their choice. Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list. Regeneration Cycle: The panel recaps their picks and we dissect some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion. Temporal Inversion: We flashback to a previous episode of TrekRanks and relay some of the feedback received from listeners. If you have your own TrekRanks picks you would like to relay to us, please hail us at 757-828-RANK (7265) and record your own personal TrekRanks log to let us know your list for Abstract V.

TrekRanks Episode 189: Top 5 Two-Hander Episodes 1:42:27

This one is a deep cut. It’s the “Top 5 Two-Hander Episodes” in Star Trek, which in television parlance is a production term referencing stories centered around two characters who are often isolated together in contrast. There are plenty of examples in Trek history where scripts have focused on a pair of characters who share a number of scenes together as the focus of the story. Our expert panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Chris Burris and Lee Hutchison go through an array of picks in this classic TrekRanks topic. Episode Rundown: Diagnostic Cycle: We discuss in detail exactly what a two-hander in television production is. Prime Directive: Each guest on this week’s panel reveals exactly how they narrowed down their list and made their final choices. The Order of Things: All the picks are revealed with the TrekRanks’ original “Five words and a hashtag” summary, along with one episode that helps frame their choice. Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list. Regeneration Cycle: The panel recaps their picks and we dissect some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion. Temporal Inversion: We flashback to a previous episode of TrekRanks and relay some of the feedback received from listeners.
