🖖 What’s the best order to watch Star Trek?
This week, Trek Trav joins me with a Trekkommendation that could completely change how you look at the franchise: watch Star Trek in release order.
Why? Because in Star Trek, time travel has consequences. Trav’s theory is that whenever our heroes travel into the past, their actions subtly alter what comes afterwards. That means the differences and apparent continuity errors we ...
🖖 Sometimes the best Trekommendation isn’t something you watch, read or collect… it’s the people you meet.
For Episode 53 of Trekcommendations, I’m joined by Krysten Lost from The Trek Trio (@thetrektrio), and she’s doing something a little different with her recommendation.

For our first anniversary episode, I’m joined by Evan Munro-Smith (@stupidoldevan), and he’s taking us back to something Star Trek fans can sadly no longer experience for themselves — Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas.
Part attraction, part museum, part immersive adventure and part place to grab a drink with a Klingon, Star Trek: The Experience was about as ...

For this milestone episode, I’m joined by Lauren DeLorean (@lauren_delorean) — and rather than recommending one particular story, Lauren is opening the doors to the enormous world of Star Trek comics.
Whether you love the classic crews, want to discover something completely different, or fancy seeing Star Trek explore ideas television simply couldn’t, there’s probably a comic out there for you.
Lauren shares s...
Star Trek: Enterprise may have ended on TV… but the story certainly didn’t.
For Trekcommendations Episode 49, I’m joined by Nat (@scruffyspaceelf), and her recommendation takes us beyond These Are the Voyages… and into the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch novels.

Can a Star Trek uniform actually be comfortable enough to wear all day... or even sleep in?

How dark should a Star Trek story get?
This week on Trekommendations, I'm joined by Murtaza "Taz" from @geektastic.trek, who shines a light on one of the earliest—and darkest—Deep Space Nine novels: Fallen Heroes by Dafydd ab Hugh.
