| 6/5/26 | ![]() WeeklyTrek #308: What Amazon Canceling New Stargate Before Filming Means for Star Trek | On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore's news podcast, host Alex Perry reflects on the recent news that Amazon Studios has canceled the Stargate revival show they announced late last year, before filming even started, out of concerns that it would only appeal to the built in fanbase and not expand the franchise's appeal. What does that have to do with Star Trek? Alex thinks there's a vibe shift underway for legacy franchises with bult in fanbases, and you'll either hear thoughtful commentary on the current state of Star Trek or the beginning of a midlife crisis playing out in real time. Let me know which! *** Do you have a wish or theory you'd like to share on the show?

| 5/28/26 | ![]() BONUS: Introducing Warp Factor 5: A Star Trek Rewatch Podcast | TrekCore is excited to announce the launch of a second podcast to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Star Trek – Warp Factor 5: A Star Trek Rewatch Podcast. Launching alongside our longrunning WeeklyTrek news podcast, every two weeks on Thursdays host Alex Perry will be joined by a guest to discuss and rate the next five episodes of Star Trek in in-universe chronological order beginning with Star Trek: Enterprise and traveling forward from there. In each episode, Alex and his guest will discuss and rate five episodes of Star Trek, and then pick from across those five episodes the Best Series Regular Performance, Best Guest Performance, Best Production Design Element, Best Quiet Moment, and Best Loud Moment. They'll also discuss how these five episodes contribute to the larger Star Trek narrative across more than 900 episodes, and share memories of the first time they watched the episodes – was it live on UPN? BBC 2? WPIX Channel 11? Sky One? CIC VHS tapes? DVD? Netflix? Paramount+? There are two things that make Warp Factor 5 distinct from most Star Trek rewatch podcasts: discussing five episodes at a time, and moving through the franchise in in-universe chronological order. Examining five episodes at a time gives space to compare episodes in blocks, examining in greater detail differences in character and themes. And beginning with Enterprise and moving in in-universe chronological order gives a new way to enjoy the Star Trek story, as an inter-connected narrative spanning 60 years of real history and over one thousand years of narrative history. The show will begin with Enterprise, followed by Discovery's first two seasons, Strange New Worlds, Star Trek, The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Lower Decks, Prodigy, Picard, Discovery's last three seasons, and Starfleet Academy. Where will the Kelvin Timeline movies fall? What about the Short Treks? The TNG movies? How will you handle the period during the 1990s when two Star Trek shows were on at once? You'll just have to listen to find out! This is a rewatch podcast, and we'll be discussing full spoilers for past and future Star Trek as we make our way through the shows. But you don't have to be a Star Trek expert to enjoy Warp Factor 5. Each episode discussion will include a synopsis of the episode we're talking about to jog your memory, with plenty of audio clips from the episodes so you can hear for yourself the moments that are being discussed. If you've always had the desire (like Alex has!) to rate every episode of Star Trek and figure out which episodes are your favorites (or least favorite!), we hope you'll join us at home, watch the episodes with us, and submit your ratings. Also make sure to let us know your picks for Best Series Regular, Best Guest Performance, Best Production Design Element, Best Quiet Moment, and Best Loud Moment! Alex will be gathering all the ratings and feedback received and at the end of each season will have a special episode discussing feedback and the final definitive ranking of that season's episodes. Warp Factor Five is available now on all your podcast platforms so make sure to subscribe to ensure that you don't miss an episode. The first episode of the show, covering the Star Trek: Enterprise season one episodes "Broken Bow," "Fight or Flight," "Strange New World," "Unexpected," and "Terra Nova," will debut on Thursday, June 18.

| 11/9/25 | ![]() WeeklyTrek #288: Interview Special: Star Trek Designer Doug Drexler on His Star Trek Fandom & Career | On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore's news podcast, host Alex Perry is joined by legendary Star Trek designer Doug Drexler for a supplemental interview special. Doug Drexler is one of Star Trek's true renaissance figures — an Oscar, Emmy, and BAFTA-winning artist whose career has spanned makeup, design, illustration, and visual effects across nearly every corner of the Star Trek universe. A lifelong fan who once co-owned New York's famed Federation Trading Post before crossing over to work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, and multiple feature films, Drexler has left his creative fingerprints on everything from the NX-01 to the 26th-century Enterprise-J. In this interview, he joins WeeklyTrek to discuss the Kickstarter for Trek Star: The Doug Drexler Documentary that aims to tell the story of his life and career. In the interview, we reflect on Doug's journey from fan to creator, the realities of working inside the thing you love, and what fans rarely see about the collaborative artistry that brings Star Trek to life. *** Do you have a wish or theory you'd like to share on the show?
