Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Future Tense". The Tholians, the Suliban, and the Enterprise duke it out over a bigger-on-the-inside piece of Temporal Cold War tech, containing a really long ladder and one (1) dead boi.

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer -- and special guest, Mr. Jeff Combs himself -- watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Cease Fire". We're so lucky to have Jeff in for this Shran-centric episode, where the groundwork is laid for the special and enduring relationship between Shran and Archer. We come across the Andorians in a territorial dispute with the Vulcans, which escalates to the point that Shran calls upon his Captain buddy to negotiate a truce. But when Archer's shuttle is shot down with Ambassador Soval inside, the fingers are pointed every which way while the wounded away team negotiates the hostile war zone.

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating -- and special guest, director David Livingston -- watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Stigma".   It's an early 2000s ambitious AIDS allegory centered on T'Pol, who is facing ostracization from the Vulcan High Command after contracting Pa'nar Syndrome, a neurological condition transmitted solely by a stigmatized minority: those who can mind meld. We follow Archer and Phlox as they fight against systemic prejudice to protect T'Pol's position on the ship.

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Dawn".  Or as we're calling it: Darmok Part II: Electric Boogaloo! After crash-landing on a freezing planet with an alien who wants him dead, Trip is forced into the world’s angriest survival camping trip. Somewhere between the hypothermia, mutual hatred, and inability to communicate, the two slowly stumble toward understanding, proving once again that Star Trek loves putting people in life-threatening situations to teach them tolerance.

Marvin Rush joins us this week on The D-Con Chamber for a wide-ranging conversation about his extraordinary career behind the camera. Best known to Trek fans for helping define the look of The Next Generation era and for directing episodes like Voyager’s “The Thaw” and Enterprise’s “In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II” and “Terra Prime,” Marvin opens up to Connor and Dominic in a way that surprised even us. What starts as a conversation about cinematography quickly turns into stories about the people, pressures, creative decisions, and strange moments that shaped decades of television history. We also spend time talking about his work outside of Star Trek, the changing nature of filmmaking, and what it was really like working through some of the biggest shifts in television production over the years.

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "The Catwalk". This is a tightly-written Sussman/Strong episode that sees the whole crew of the Enterprise, some alien refugees, and a number of resident animals (including dear Porthos) take refuge in the crawlspace that runs the length of each nacelle. Dealing with the massive radiation storm in space would be bad enough, but if the alien militia trying to take over Enterprise doesn't destroy them all, their cabin fever will!

Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Precious Cargo". It's Enterprise's take on "The African Queen", guest starring Padma Lakshmi, of "Top Chef" fame. Trip finds out that the cargo is a kidnapped royal heir, and a hectic rescue-romance ensues, culminating in an actual swamp. But you won't catch Connor in that marshy water twice... not if his ears have anything to say about it!

Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating watch Star Trek: Enterprise's "Vanishing Point", joined by the episode's director, David Straiton. It's Linda Park's time to shine as, ironically, Hoshi gradually fades away in this half-horror, half-mystery. Will the translator end up losing her voice forever, and be spoken of in hushed tones as the next Cyrus Ramsey? (To be sure, as Trek transporter mishaps go, this one is actually one of the less gruesome...)

He's a man who's had more thn 50 years in the business, and has recently been honored for his massive contribution to film and television by the Children and Family Emmy Awards. You've seen him -- even if you didn't know it -- in The Six Million Dollar Man, the original Battlestar Galactica, Romancing the Stone, MacGyver, Titanic, The Big Lebowski, Iron Man... among the tens of dozens of credits on his resumé since he broke into the industry.  His father, Vince Deadrick, Sr., himself had 45 years in stunts, including in a little show called Star Trek (the Original Series)...

Back in Enterprise time, the fledgling ideas behind the Prime Directive get put to the test when Malcolm loses his communicator on a pre-warp planet.

Robert Picardo joins Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating for a wide-ranging conversation, with particular emphasis on his latest return as The Doctor in Starfleet Academy. He now serves as Chief Medical Officer on the USS Athena, centuries older, more experienced, and still evolving in unexpected ways. Bob reflects on stepping back into the role at this stage of his career, what has changed, what hasn’t, and how the character fits into a very different era of Star Trek. This conversation was recorded just one day after the announcement that Starfleet Academy will conclude with its second season, so we delve into Bob’s immediate reaction to the news, including his knowledge on why the show is ending. We speak about his contributions to the show, including episode ideas that sadly will never get to air. Along the way, he and Connor and Dominic revisit The Doctor on Voyager, and how his legacy carries forward into this final chapter.
