                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Positively Trek 288: Georgiou and the Gang&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Star Trek: Section 31 Reviewed! (Spoilers!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first &lt;em&gt;Star Trek&lt;/em&gt; film in nearly nine years has finally been released: &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Section 31&lt;/em&gt;, starring Michelle Yeoh. In this episode of &lt;em&gt;Positively Trek&lt;/em&gt;, hosts Barry and Dan break down the film. We share what we liked, what we didn’t like, and give our overall thoughts on the film. The first part is spoiler-free, but be warned: there are huge spoilers in the second part! If you haven’t watched the film yet, don’t stick around past the spoiler warning!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Show page: &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.positivelytrek.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://www.positivelytrek.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apple Podcasts: &lt;a href=&#34;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter: &lt;a href=&#34;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Help support the podcast!

We talk about all five issues, what we liked and didn’t like, and share our thoughts on the miniseries as a whole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Purchase the omnibus edition of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Echoes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Paperback:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/40DaPvV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.ca: https://amzn.to/3Synbn4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3QUUDTx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Digital (Kindle):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/3YoYMTE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.ca: https://amzn.to/4dfgYn1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3SphqHw&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Show page: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.positivelytrek.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://www.positivelytrek.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Apple Podcasts: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Twitter: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Facebook: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Help support the podcast!

We talk about all five issues, including Quark’s discovery of his love of one dog in particular, Sisko’s dilemma, and the mysterious shadowy organization with the ridiculous name “The Brokers on the Black Market.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Purchase &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Deep Space Nine: The Dog of War&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Paperback:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.com: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://amzn.to/3QAfgDe&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://amzn.to/3QAfgDe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.ca: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://amzn.to/3SFcjDL&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://amzn.to/3SFcjDL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.co.uk: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://amzn.to/3SCxYMY&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://amzn.to/3SCxYMY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kindle:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.com: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://amzn.to/4bnqdS5&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://amzn.to/4bnqdS5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.ca: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://amzn.to/49kjMxg&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://amzn.to/49kjMxg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amazon.co.uk: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://amzn.to/3HNX7ha&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://amzn.to/3HNX7ha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Show page: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.positivelytrek.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://www.positivelytrek.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Apple Podcasts: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Twitter: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Facebook: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Help support the podcast!

We discuss:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Control” by John Peel&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“The Guardian” by Gary Russell&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“The Disavowed” by Christopher Cooper&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Paghabi” by Chris Dows&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Pulaski 2.0” by Greg Cox&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“The Expert” by Gary Russell&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Scramble” by Greg Cox&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The remaining 7 stories in the collection will be featured in a future episode.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Purchase &lt;em&gt;Star Trek Explorer Presents: “The Mission” and Other Stories&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hardcover:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amazon.com: &lt;a href=&#34;https://amzn.to/3uc1Y8r&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://amzn.to/3uc1Y8r&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amazon.ca: &lt;a href=&#34;https://amzn.to/3FY4Po0&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://amzn.to/3FY4Po0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amazon.co.uk: &lt;a href=&#34;https://amzn.to/3FVfaB0&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://amzn.to/3FVfaB0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Show page: &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.positivelytrek.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://www.positivelytrek.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apple Podcasts: &lt;a href=&#34;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter: &lt;a href=&#34;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Help support the podcast!

We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.” So, what drives humans in their day-to-day lives in the future?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this episode of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Positively Trek&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;, hosts Dan and Barry take a look at Starfleet and the Federation through the lens of meritocracy: a system based on influence or power wielded by those whom society deems are educated and skilled. We also examine some problems that might arise from that system through the examples of Nova Squadron, Red Squad, and a flock of seriously corrupt “badmirals.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Show page: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.positivelytrek.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://www.positivelytrek.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Apple Podcasts: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Twitter: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Facebook: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Help support the podcast!

&lt;p&gt;Where Are You Going for Your Galactic Getaway?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the past 900&#43; episodes and films, &lt;em&gt;Star Trek&lt;/em&gt; has had no shortage of candidates for a fantastic vacation in the 23rd, 24th, or even 32nd centuries! Join Bruce and Dan as they discuss where they would love to holiday in the final frontier (and a few places they’d rather stay away from).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the news segment, we discuss a recent interview with Melissa Navia on Ortegas’s role in season 2 of &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Strange New Worlds&lt;/em&gt;, Jason Isaacs willingness to portray Prime Lorca, a new casting addition to &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Picard&lt;/em&gt;’s third season, and the possible end of the line for &lt;em&gt;Star Trek Starships&lt;/em&gt; producer Eaglemoss.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ortegas Gets a Storyline in SNW Season 2 - &lt;a href=&#34;https://trekmovie.com/2022/07/20/melissa-navia-on-not-labeling-ortegas-and-getting-an-episode-in-star-trek-strange-new-worlds-season-2/&#34;&gt;https://trekmovie.com/2022/07/20/melissa-navia-on-not-labeling-ortegas-and-getting-an-episode-in-star-trek-strange-new-worlds-season-2/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Where Are You Going for Your Galactic Getaway?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Over the past 900+ episodes and films, <em>Star Trek</em> has had no shortage of candidates for a fantastic vacation in the 23rd, 24th, or even 32nd centuries!

<p>In the news segment, we discuss a recent interview with Melissa Navia on Ortegas’s role in season 2 of <em>Star Trek: Strange New Worlds</em>, Jason Isaacs willingness to portray Prime Lorca, a new casting addition to <em>Star Trek: Picard</em>’s third season, and the possible end of the line for <em>Star Trek Starships</em> producer Eaglemoss.</p>

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this episode of &lt;em&gt;Positively Trek&lt;/em&gt;, hosts Bruce and Dan discuss “The Elysian Kingdom.” We also talk about the week’s &lt;em&gt;Star Trek&lt;/em&gt; news, including some details about &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Discovery&lt;/em&gt;’s fifth season thanks to Sonequa Martin-Green, a new 4K release of &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: First Contact&lt;/em&gt;, and some exciting comics news from the folks at IDW!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Secret First Mission of the 1701!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Space&amp;hellip; the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship&amp;hellip; um&amp;hellip; we&amp;rsquo;ll get back to you on that!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this episode of the &lt;em&gt;Positively Trek Book Club&lt;/em&gt;, hosts Bruce and Dan discuss a classic &lt;em&gt;Star Trek&lt;/em&gt; novel: &lt;em&gt;Final Frontier&lt;/em&gt; by Diane Carey, featuring the very first mission of the NCC-1701, before she was even christened &lt;em&gt;Enterprise&lt;/em&gt;! We learn all about Captain Robert April, Commander George Kirk (&amp;ldquo;Jimmy&amp;rdquo; Kirk&amp;rsquo;s father), and witness a clandestine mission that has been scrubbed from the history books!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The voyages of the &lt;em&gt;Starship Enterprise&lt;/em&gt; under Captain Pike continue! It&amp;rsquo;s Uhura&amp;rsquo;s time to shine as the crew attempts to save a world from an impending comet strike, but there&amp;rsquo;s a linguistic mystery to be solved.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Positively Trek 194: Book Club: Dragon’s Honor&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By Kij Johnson and Greg Cox&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Enterprise&lt;/em&gt; is on a mission to bring the reclusive Dragon Empire into the Federation. The Empire, which is threatened by the menacing G’kkau, is on the verge of achieving peace between its warring factions. Can Picard and his crew maintain the peace and ensure the safety of the Dragon Empire?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this episode of the &lt;em&gt;Positively Trek Book Club&lt;/em&gt;, hosts Bruce and Dan discuss &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: The Next Generation #38: Dragon’s Honor&lt;/em&gt; by Kij Johnson and Greg Cox. We talk about Troi and Crusher’s parts in the story, Picard’s dilemma, the mysterious origins of the Dragon Empire, and much more!&lt;/p&gt;

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Positively Trek 188: Book Club: Terok Nor - Dawn of the Eagles&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally: A Happy Ending!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The end of the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor is upon us! A global uprising, a mysterious shapeshifter, and the planet-sized ego of a Cardassian Prefect named Dukat all contribute to the conclusion of the &lt;em&gt;Terok Nor&lt;/em&gt; trilogy!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this episode of the &lt;em&gt;Positively Trek Book Club&lt;/em&gt;, hosts Dan and Bruce discuss the conclusion of the &lt;em&gt;Terok Nor&lt;/em&gt; trilogy: &lt;em&gt;Dawn of the Eagles&lt;/em&gt; by S.D. Perry &amp;amp; Britta Dennison. The first part of the episode is our spoiler-free thoughts before we get into a spoiler-filled discussion of the novel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s Berate Neelix for an Hour!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s back to the beginning of the &lt;em&gt;U.S.S. Voyager&lt;/em&gt;&amp;rsquo;s time in the Delta Quadrant. The &lt;em&gt;Voyager&lt;/em&gt; crew detects a clue that may lead to a way home, but there&amp;rsquo;s a problem: two warring civilizations and their centuries-long conflict stand in the way! Advised by Neelix to steer clear, Janeway nevertheless leads her crew into the conflict zone in the hopes of stopping the war once and for all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this episode of the &lt;em&gt;Positively Trek Book Club&lt;/em&gt;, hosts Bruce and Dan discuss &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Voyager #3: Ragnarok&lt;/em&gt; by Nathan Archer. We talk about the novel&amp;rsquo;s premise, the warring races, the war, &lt;em&gt;Voyager&lt;/em&gt;&amp;rsquo;s tactics, a diplomatic away mission, the First Federation, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings for &lt;em&gt;Ragnarok&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Plus: New James T. Kirk Revealed!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s season finale time on &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Discovery&lt;/em&gt;! Burnham and her crew must establish contact with Species 10-C to prevent the destruction of Earth, while Tarka continues his attempt to destroy the DMA once and for all. Meanwhile, on &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Picard&lt;/em&gt;, the crew travels back in time to 2024 to locate the mysterious &amp;ldquo;Watcher,&amp;rdquo; while Agnes and Jean-Luc attempt to bring the Borg Queen back online.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this week&amp;rsquo;s &lt;em&gt;Positively Trek&lt;/em&gt;, hosts Bruce and Dan discuss both of these episodes, as well as the surprising news of Paul Wesley&amp;rsquo;s casting as Captain James T. Kirk in &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Strange New Worlds&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Positively Trek 183: Discovery Review: “Species Ten-C” (4.12)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plus: Picard Review: “Penance” (2.02)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The double-Trek weeks continue! This week on the &lt;em&gt;Positively Trek&lt;/em&gt; podcast, hosts Dan and Bruce talk about &lt;em&gt;Discovery&lt;/em&gt;’s mission to establish peaceful contact with “Species Ten-C.” Tarka, however, has all manner of wrenches to throw into that plan!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Meanwhile, on &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Picard&lt;/em&gt;, Jean-Luc and his gang grapple with the circumstances they find in the twisted new reality they inhabit. We talk about “Penance” and give our thoughts on the season thus far.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the news segment, we discuss the new &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Strange New Worlds&lt;/em&gt; teaser trailer as well as the recent news that &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Picard&lt;/em&gt;’s third season&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;has wrapped production.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This Book&amp;rsquo;s Not Gonna Have a Happy Ending&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Occupation: its legacy looms large over the entire &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Deep Space Nine&lt;/em&gt; series, with the scars of that brutal era still felt by Bajor years later. However, not much has been told about the start of the occupation; what was Bajor like before the Cardassians came? What drove Cardassia to commit the crimes of the occupation? The subject of this week&amp;rsquo;s Book Club episode explores these questions and more!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before we finish with &lt;em&gt;The Lost Era&lt;/em&gt;, there are just three more books to cover: The &lt;em&gt;Terok Nor&lt;/em&gt; trilogy, chronicling the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor. In this episode of the &lt;em&gt;Positively Trek Book Club&lt;/em&gt;, hosts Dan and Bruce talk about the first of these: &lt;em&gt;Day of the Vipers&lt;/em&gt; by James Swallow. We discuss the characters both familiar and new, life on Bajor prior to the occupation, the state of Cardassia, dramatic irony, personal stories, scapegoats, the rise of the occupation, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recommended viewing:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ensign Ro&amp;rdquo; - &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: The Next Generation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Cardassians&amp;rdquo; - &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Deep Space Nine&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Secrets from Jadzia’s own past, long-buried, will force Trill society to confront some hard truths and give rise to a deadly adversary…</p> <p>It’s not often that we get the chance to welcome a new voice in the field of <em>Star Trek</em> novelists, and we are privileged to be able to do so with renowned science fiction author Alex White!

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Positively Trek 132: Star Trek’s Leadership LessonsWhat Can Star Trek’s Greatest Captains Teach Us About Effective Management?</p> <p>A starship (or space station) is, first and foremost, a workplace, with the captain acting as the CEO.

We each have our favorites, but we also all have strong opinions on what makes a good bridge and which ones succeeded (and failed)!In the news, we talk about the announcement of a new <em>Star Trek: Picard</em> novel by Una McCormack, the 2021 Scribe Award-winning novel by John Jackson Miller, a possible hint about when we might see <em>Star Trek: Discovery</em>’s fourth season, and a very odd new gig for William Shatner on Russian state-run television?!?</p> <p>Show page: <a href="http://positivelytrek.libsyn.com/" rel="nofollow">http://positivelytrek.libsyn.com/</a> Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628" rel="nofollow"> https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628</a> Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/positivelytrek" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/positivelytrek</a> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek</a></p> <p>Help support the podcast!

We each have our favorites, but we also all have strong opinions on what makes a good bridge and which ones succeeded (and failed)!In the news, we talk about the announcement of a new &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Picard&lt;/em&gt; novel by Una McCormack, the 2021 Scribe Award-winning novel by John Jackson Miller, a possible hint about when we might see &lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Discovery&lt;/em&gt;’s fourth season, and a very odd new gig for William Shatner on Russian state-run television?!?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Show page: &lt;a href=&#34;http://positivelytrek.libsyn.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://positivelytrek.libsyn.com/&lt;/a&gt; Apple Podcasts: &lt;a href=&#34;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt; https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&lt;/a&gt; Twitter: &lt;a href=&#34;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&lt;/a&gt; Facebook: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Help support the podcast!

We talk about the origins of the book, getting Janeway’s voice right, her early years, her career before &lt;em&gt;Voyager&lt;/em&gt;, how events from the series were approached when writing the book, the inspirations that McCormack drew upon, the lives of the crew post-&lt;em&gt;Star Trek: Voyager&lt;/em&gt;, and wrap up with what Una is up to now and where she can be found online.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Una McCormack on Twitter: &lt;a href=&#34;https://twitter.com/unamccormack&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://twitter.com/unamccormack&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Show page: &lt;a href=&#34;http://positivelytrek.libsyn.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://positivelytrek.libsyn.com/&lt;/a&gt; Apple Podcasts: &lt;a href=&#34;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt; https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&lt;/a&gt; Twitter: &lt;a href=&#34;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&lt;/a&gt; Facebook: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sunshine (version 2) by Kevin MacLeodLink: &lt;a href=&#34;https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4438-sunshine-version-2-&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4438-sunshine-version-2-&lt;/a&gt; License: &lt;a href=&#34;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeodLink: &lt;a href=&#34;https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4457-take-a-chance&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4457-take-a-chance&lt;/a&gt; License: &lt;a href=&#34;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</content:encoded>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Hortas… IN SPAAAACE!!!  In the classic <em>Trek</em> episode “The Devil in the Dark,” we are introduced to the Horta: a strange, non-humanoid being whose fearsome aspect belies a gentle creature, only interested in protecting her many vulnerable young. However, while peaceful, the Horta is capable of great destruction thanks to its silicon-based physiology and its ability to spew highly concentrated, deadly acid. So what do you think might happen when twenty young Horta are suddenly released into the sealed environment of a space station?  In this episode of the <em>Positively Trek Book Club</em>, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther discuss the <em>Deep Space Nine</em> novel <em>Devil in the Sky</em> by Greg Cox and John Gregory Betancourt. We talk about the origin of the novel, the premise, Jake and Nog’s role in the crisis, the characterizations of the <em>DS9</em> crew, Kira’s rescue mission, the solution to the Horta problem, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.

Meanwhile: can Ensign Boimler escape his legacy as the inspiration for the dreaded “Boimler Effect”?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In this review episode of Positively Trek, Bruce and Dan discuss their thoughts on the episode, what we felt was the main message of the story, and talk about the enduring legacy of Chief Miles Edward O’Brien!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Cortex Podcast: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.relay.fm/cortex&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.relay.fm/cortex&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Show page: &lt;a href=&#34;http://positivelytrek.libsyn.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://positivelytrek.libsyn.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Apple Podcasts: &lt;a href=&#34;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt; https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Twitter: &lt;a href=&#34;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://twitter.com/positivelytrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Facebook: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Feelin Good by Kevin MacLeod&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Link: &lt;a href=&#34;https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3744-feelin-good&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt; https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3744-feelin-good&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;License: &lt;a href=&#34;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</content:encoded>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Since 2017, The Templin Institute has been exploring alternate worlds every week on their YouTube channel. These include deep dives into the universe of Star Trek, with videos detailing The Romulan Empire, the Klingon Empire, Jean-Luc Picard, and many, many more!</p>
<p>Joining us this week on Positively Trek is Marc, part of the team behind The Templin Institute. He shares with us the genesis of his channel, his process of creating videos, some favorites from over the years, and what is coming up on the channel in terms of Star Trek content.</p>
<p>At the top of the show, we talk about Star Trek CBS’s support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and discuss the newly-released images from the much-anticipated Star Trek: Lower Decks animated series.</p>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>The inclusion of the gag reels on the Star Trek: TNG blu-ray releases was a welcome addition to those collections. For one Star Trek fan, watching those bloopers gave him a genius idea for a few clever re-edits of scenes from the episodes.</p>
<p>In this episode, Bruce and Dan welcome Ryan of “Ryan’s Edits” to the show to discuss his “Star Trek INtakes” videos, which have recently been taking the internet by storm. We talk about his process, what each edit entails, and how he initially became a fan of Star Trek.</p>
<p>In the news segment, we talk about a recent interview with Bryan Fuller on the Inglorious Treksperts podcast, as well as the recent Star Trek “deep fake” videos which have appeared online.</p>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>In <em>Star Trek: Enterprise</em>’s fourth season, the infamous green Orion women were re-introduced, most notably in the episode “Bound.” Crystal Allen, a familiar face on many network television shows, guest-starred as the dangerous and alluring D’Nesh, and we are honored to have her on Positively Trek as our first guest ever!</p>
<p>In this episode, Dan and Bruce talk with Crystal about her role as D’Nesh, her experiences on Of Gods and Men with Tim Russ, and get the word out about her charitable efforts to provide healthy, home-cooked meals to frontline medical workers dealing with the COVID-19 crisis.</p>
<p>A reminder that Trek fans who donate $30 to Crystal’s GoFundMe will receive a signed photo from her, either of D’Nesh, her character in Of Gods and Men, or a publicity photo of the actor herself.</p>

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;The world is a bit of a jumbled mess at the moment. Times are scary, and many of us are completely out of our element. In this episode of Positively Trek, Bruce and Dan talk about what this means for us as fans of Star Trek, and what we do to keep the anxiety at bay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the news this week, we talk about the delays from IDW on the latest Star Trek comics, and talk about some cool Star Trek puzzles that may help to occupy our time in social isolation.&lt;/p&gt;
