TrekCore announces the launch of Warp Factor 5, a new podcast celebrating Star Trek's 60th anniversary by discussing episodes in chronological order.

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.

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…
