Promenade Merchants: A Star Trek Podcast

We have received our orders from Control, and we have executed the game plan. Heather & David talk about what brought the brand new movie “Star Trek: Section 31” to fruition, from its original concept from Deep Space Nine to its premiere on Paramount+ on Januar 24. We give our review and reaction on the much, much, MUCH discussed film. The good, the bad and the ‘meh’. What does it mean for the Star Trek franchise going forward? Will this movie be a one-off? Is it really worth as much heated conversation as it has spawned? And what even *IS* Star Trek?

We’ve had a rough spell recently. But we are back. Promenade Merchants Podcast lives. David has a new Trekkie adventure up in his future, and he can’t wait to go boldly. Later, we say our farewell to Lower Decks. We talk about our feelings on the crew of the USS Cerritos and five years of the wildest of missions across the Alpha Quadrant. All Hands, Brace For Weird! But what does this mean for the future of Star Trek? Heather and David discuss everything from Starfleet Academy to the business happenings at Paramount in Upcoming business. The post Promenade Merchants 93: A Farewell To Lower Decks, and a look to a (hopeful?) Star Trek future appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

(Production Note: David here. We recorded this before Geeks and Nerds for Harris and Walz. I was fighting with my webhosting company for a bit. Apologies for the temporal anomaly.) If you had control of the Star Trek franchise for the next ten years, what would you do? Heather and David go over their wishlists if Alex Kurtzman were to give them the book. We wrap up our discussion on Star Trek Prodigy Season 2. Spoilers: We loved it! Netflix, you’d be fools not to greenlight a 3rd season. Damned fools. In Upcoming Business, we look at the 2024 Election here in the United States. Geeks Nerds and Trekkies from all walks are going in one direction. And we are not going back.

The crew of the USS Protostar deal with Tribbles of varying sizes, and David finally comes to appreciate Jankem Pog for good. A moment in the mirror universe gave Heather a touch of the ick, and we both wonder how a kid’s show is doing so much stuff like this. But Star Trek Prodigy is so much more than a kid’s show. The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #89: Star Trek Prodigy S2 Episodes 13-16 appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

We continue our non-binged discussion of Season 2 of Star Trek Prodigy. And we finally come to an episode that David was waiting for Heather to see. Coincidentally right after the Intergalactic Friendship Day at San Diego Comic Con. The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #88: Star Trek Prodigy S2, Episodes 9-12 appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

Heather’s 8 episodes through Season 2 of Star Trek Prodigy, and business is beginning to pick up. Plus, all the Star Trek news from San Diego Comic Con 2024, and yes. We WILL be talking about the Strange New Worlds trailer, both Heather and David have opinions. The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #87: Star Trek Prodigy S2, Eps 5-8, and San Diego Comic Con appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

Heather and David (sans one microphone) are back. Star Trek Prodigy Season 2 is out on Netflix and has taken Trekkies by storm. We do a mostly spoiler-free talk about Season 2, but go through the first four episodes. In Upcoming Business, David mentions a couple of the stories about San Diego Comic Con, but does not give Heather any spoilers. Or tries not to.

Star Trek Discovery’s fifth and final season has concluded. And we celebrate them as they deserve. We give one final big send off to the catalyst of our modern Latinum Age of Star Trek. But not without someone who knows Star Trek Discovery in and out! So, we welcomed noted Trekkie podcast guest Jordan La Fordan for our 85th episode. For Old Business, we talk about the final seasons of Legacy Star Trek, and you really don’t have to think too hard to guess which one David chose. Heather and Jordan do some deep diving. And in  Upcoming Business, Jordan has some news on Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 3 from Trek Long Island, and we have one (and soon to be two after this was recorded) cast announcement for Starfleet Academy. Let’s fly! Follow Jordan on Bluesky The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #85, Star Trek Discovery Flies Home appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

It’s not exactly super happy fun Star Trek time this episode of Promenade Merchants. The news of the cancellation of Star Trek Lower Decks after its 5th season had David heated. Rant incoming. We also go through episodes “Jinaal” and “Face the Strange” from Star Trek Discovery, and do our standard old business. The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #83: The Cancellation of Star Trek Lower Decks appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

We’re officially back! And so is Star Trek. The fifth and final season of Star Trek Discovery is under way. Captain Michael Burnham and her crew are on a treasure hunt, and all good things must come to an end. Heather and David talk about “The Red Directive” and “Under the Twin Moons” after their premiere on Paramount+. In Old Business, we celebrate Wrestlemania and celebrity appearance on Star Trek, naming some of our favorites, and fantasy book a couple of others. (The wrestling fans know what we mean.) In Upcoming Business….Rachel Garrett? The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #82 The Last Disco Bash appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

Some Star Trek news has been bubbling under the surface since episode 79. Is it real? Is it fake? Are we content farming? Maybe! Heather and David are joined by podcaster, fashionista and lifelong Trekkie Jacques Noel Manuel to talk about movies, finales and more. We talk about finales in Legacy Star Trek, and YES. “These Are The Voyages…” does come up. Also, the Section 31 Movie, the rumored Picard script penned by Patrick Stewart, and the rumored film in development from the director of Star Wars: Andor. Plus, we talk about the move to Netflix for Star Trek Prodigy. Big thanks to Jacques for joining s.   Follow Jacques on Twitter And Tiktok The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #80: Star Trek Movie Rumor Roundup appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

We each have requests for the next season of Star Trek Lower Decks, now that Season 4 has finished. Will they come true? What would you like to see from Legacy Star Trek in Lower Decks? We give our thoughts on the Star Trek Lower Decks two-part finale “The Inner Fight” and “Old Friends, New Planets” and our feelings on Season 4, and we look ahead to Season 5. In upcoming business (since we don’t know when there will be new Star Trek yet), Heather has some toy news, and David has some gripes with Paramount+ Thanks for listening!

Let’s get this out of the way right now, Heather was right. Star Trek Prodigy is saved. David freaked out  over nothing. Caves! Lower Decks talked about caves, the Prom Trek Pod is talking about caves in old business. Later, in upcoming business the Boldly Be collection from Kid Cudi comes up, along with some strong opinions and some back and forth between Heather and David. Check it out, won’t you?

In Old Business, we celebrate October and talk about our favorite scary episodes of Star Trek from the past. In New Business, David has a new favorite episode of Lower Decks, and Heather gets to say “I told you so”. Later, David brings up the potentially cancellation of Lower Decks and his concerns about Star Trek’s future. Heather offers some clarity.

The Very Short Treks have been such a hotly-debated topic, that we needed a third voice. Thanks to Joe Dove from the Captain’s Quadrant for joining us! We talk a little bit about our first not-so-great Star Trek viewing experiences, and we all await your scorn and disdain. In New Business, Lower Decks is still going strong, and we have successfully avoided having our bones drank by Moopsy. And yes, there is another Very Short Trek to talk about. Check out the episode, even if  you don’t like the Very Short Treks. And let us know if you do! And be sure to check out Joe on the Captain’s Quadrant.   The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #75: At Least They’re Not Canon appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

We’re back! After an extended post-STLV recharge, Heather and David return to talk Star Trek again. The Very Short Treks are out, and, well…they are certainly being talked about. Plus, Lower Decks Season 4 is here, bones are being drank, promotions are being had, and a character has caught David’s eye. Plus, the latest on Star Trek Prodigy, in which David has some concerns. Should he be concerned? The post Promenade Merchants #74: Catching Up, Lower Decks and Prodigy Concerns? appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

The hype is real. Heather and David are headed to Las Vegas for the 57-Year Mission Convention, also known as STLV (Star Trek Las Vegas) this coming week. Trek conventions are special for both of us, and we cannot wait to be there. But before this weekend, we go over the surprise of THREE episodes of Star Trek Strange New Worlds that came out since we last talked, including the much-talked-about crossover episode with Lower Decks, “Those Old Scientists”. We do a quick wrap-up of the news and notes from San Diego Comic Con for Upcoming Business, and David goes back to packing for the trip! See you in Vegas! The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #73: The STLV Go-Home Show appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

A giant sized episode. Unfortunately, what would have been episode 72 originally was lost to the annals of internet recording. We talk about all the episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 2, from “Ad Astra per Aspera” to “Charades”. Heather shares some strong opinions, David shares some strong opinions, and you are welcome to discuss anything you like with either of us. The cancellation of Star Trek Prodigy leads into the SAG-AFTRA/WGA strike and its ramifications for Star Trek, and the upcoming 57-Year Mission (aka Star Trek Las Vegas, STLV) and what it will mean for the actors and attending fans. The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #72: Strange New Worlds, Strikes, and So Much Discourse appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.

We welcome Season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds back with an all new episode. We talk all about “The Broken Circle” in New Business. Later, David gives his take on the new game from Dramatic Labs “Star Trek: Resurgence”. In old business, in celebration of Father’s Day, we talk about dads in Star Trek, in which we find out Heather and David are on the exact same page. Upcoming business has news on DVDs and more Star Trek video games. Tune in!

We’re joined by our first repeat guest,  Promenade Merchants Podcast’s BFF, Heather Barker, aka BatlethBabe, our first repeat guest.   Old Business, we bring up an oldie but a goodie: What Star Trek do you go to first. Let us know! For this episode, David and the Heather’s have a round-table discussion about the portrayal of disability at various points in the Star Trek franchise. Positives and negatives, and hopefully a couple of laughs. Tune in.     The post Promenade Merchants Podcast #70 – Disability in Star Trek appeared first on Delta Juliet Mike Media.
