  • Kirk as captain.

    Among Starfleet captains, Kirk certainly had his own style. Were the long-term effects considered during the decision-making process, or were they off-the-cuff style decisions? How was the crew affected by the choices of one person in relation to the Prime Directive and other measures set in place by Starfleet? Would we make the same decisions as Kirk when faced with the same choices?

    In this episode of Standard Orbit, host Hayley Stoddart is joined by Mike Richards to discuss the leadership of Captain Kirk and how his decisions led to the results—whether positive or negative—that affected the crew of the Enterprise and others.

  • Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - The Audio Drama.

    Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is a rather infamous film both in and out of Star Trek circles, but we here at Standard Orbit happen to love it. In celebration of our 300th episode, hosts Ken Tripp, Zach Moore and Hayley Stoddart decided to do something special: an audio drama of The Final Frontier based on an earlier draft of the film's script (featuring the rock monster) and with the dream casting of the film, Sean Connery as Sybok.

    We can't thank our fellow hosts and listeners who participated in this massive undertaking enough: Tony Robinson, John Mills, Lee Sargent, Justin Oser, Richard Marquez, Amy Nelson, Duncan Barrett, Brandon-Shea Mutala, Zachary Fruhling, Norman C. Lao and A.J. Black. As the great man once said, "It was...fun"

  • Standard Orbit 298: The Rise Of Fan Service

    JJ Abrams, Star Trek, Star Wars And Fan Service.

    With the recent release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, JJ Abrams has now directed two Star Trek and two Star Wars films. Each respective first film was embraced by the overwhelming majority of casual and die hard fans alike, while each respective second has been divisive to say the least. Is fan service (or attempted fan service) to blame?

    This week on Standard Orbit hosts Ken Tripp, Zach Moore and Hayley Stoddart discuss the concept of fan service and how perhaps too much creeped in to JJ's second films in each franchise. What is fan service, is it what the writers and directors of our favorite franchises think it is, does is do more harm than good, and do we as fans really even want it? All this and more on this week's Standard Orbit, boldly listen!

  • Standard Orbit 295: D.C. Fontana

    Remembering Dorothy Fontana (1939- 2019).

    This week on Standard Orbit, hosts Ken Tripp and Zach Moore reflect on the life and work of Dorothy "D.C." Fontana. Passing away this past week at the age of eighty, Dorothy was one of the foundational creative forces behind the Star Trek universe and we celebrate her legacy by exploring her incredible Star Trek resume.

    A writer and eventual story editor on The Original Series, Dorothy received a writing credit for 10 episodes but had a hand in countless more, directly responsible for such classics as This Side of Paradise, Journey to Babel, and The Enterprise Incident. We take a look at all these episodes, her work beyond TOS in The Animated Series, The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, and examine what made her writing so memorable and able to stand the test of time.

    Day Of The Dove.

    This week on Standard Orbit hosts Ken Tripp, Zach Moore and Hayley Stoddart talk the third season episode Day of the Dove. An underrated and oft-overlooked episode, we discuss the glimpses it gives us into Klingon culture, how it puts the folly of prejudice on full display, the influences it may or may not have had on the movie era and much more!

  • Standard Orbit 290: A Friendship That Defined Them Both

    Mind Meld.

    In 2001, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy sat down for a candid (as candid as can be expected in front of a film crew anyway) conversation about their lives, their friendship, and of course Star Trek. This was the documentary Mind Meld: Secrets Behind The Journey Of A Lifetime, and this week on Standard Orbit hosts Ken Tripp, Zach Moore and Hayley Stoddart discuss this peek into the minds of the two men most synonymous with Star Trek.

    In what way did Nimoy's understanding of show business differ from Shatner in their early days? How did Shatner's casting as the then-new Captain Kirk influence Nimoy's performance as Spock? Why could Shatner stop smoking cold turkey while Nimoy battled addiction for decades? And what does all this say about both men? All this and more in this week's Standard Orbit, boldly listen!

This week on Standard Orbit, hosts Zach Moore and Hayley Stoddart each pitch a story idea for a hypothetical fourth season of TOS.

  • Standard Orbit 283: "You Should Have Let Me Sleep!"

    Villains Of The Kelvin Timeline.

    The Star Trek movies have (with rare exception) usually featured a special guest villain, and this trend has continued into the Kelvin Timeline era. Nero, John Harr---Khan, and Krall have all faced off against the new cast of Captain Kirk and the Enterprise, and this week on Standard Orbit hosts Ken Tripp and Zach Moore discuss and rank them.

    Was Nero just another Khan rehash or something more? Would John Harr---Khan been better off had has indeed merely been John Harrison? As the only one of the three not to get a fleshed out backstory in the Star Trek expanded universe of books and comics, is Krall ripe for more exploration as a character? All this on this week's Standard Orbit, boldly listen!

  • Standard Orbit 282: I Am Unicorn Dog!

    TOS Episodes In The Alternate Realities Collective.

    "Star Trek Fan Collectives" were a series of DVD collections released in the 2000s that featured episodes from across all the series that shared a common theme. This week on Standard Orbit, hosts Ken Tripp, Zach Moore and Hayley Stoddart are joined by their counterparts from the 24th century Amy Nelson, Justin Oser and Joe Keegan from Earl Grey to discuss the TOS episodes included in the Alternate Realities Collective.

    What makes Mirror, Mirror such a classic episode? Are The Alternative Factor and Turnabout Intruder really that bad? Like Kirk himself in the episode does The Enemy Within have two sides, both good and dark? Tune in to Earl Grey tomorrow for part two of this conversation where we talk the TNG episodes included in the Alternate Realities Collective, boldly listen!
