This week, the children of Earth face a difficult and precarious future — one that they didn’t create but that they nevertheless have to endure. And now there’s a new Star Trek series where that’s basically happening too. Joe & @nathanbottomley.com investigate. untitledstartrekproject.com/180/

@untitledstartrekproject.com is worth a listen. Sone chap called Joe Ford, if you’ve ever heard of him…

Mmhmm. 😒

This week, Joe and Nathan struggle to find exactly the right word to express their feelings about this episode. #StarTrek #StarTrekVoyager untitledstartrekproject.com/179/

Another astonishingly dull and unambitious week aboard Enterprise, as Hoshi Sato is accidentally transported into a high-concept plot that we’ve seen done better half a dozen times in the last fifteen years. untitledstartrekproject.com/178/

A milestone. As of today, Untitled Star Trek Project has covered 20% of Star Trek — 192 out of 960 episodes. Since we started on 4 November 2021, we've released 178 episodes, and 149 new episodes of Star Trek have been released. #StarTrek untitledstartrekproject.com/coverage/

This week, Deep Space Nine starts again — with a second pilot episode just over two and a half years after the first one. It’s The Best of Both Worlds, only much faster, funnier and more confident. And this is just the beginning. Again. #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 untitledstartrekproject.com/177

You (a fool): the perfect christmas ornament doesn't exist. Me (wisely): ahem.

USTP Christmas Special - starring @toddbeilby.bsky.social Glacial pace, the lack of incident and the horrendous FX, but it has something to say — something about the love and friendship between grumpy old men who have known and annoyed one another for decades. untitledstartrekproject.com/176/

Despite the slow pace, the lack of incident and the bad special effects, it celebrates the love and friendship between weird and grumpy old men who have annoyed one another for decades. And if you’ve got that, who needs Sha Ka Ree? #StarTrek #StarTrekV untitledstartrekproject.com/176

Tom, Harry, Neelix and Chakotay somehow return from a mission with PTSD — and with memories of a battle which might not even be theirs. But there is a point here, and some last-act location work lifts the whole thing considerably. #StarTrek #StarTrekVoyager untitledstartrekproject.com/175/

This week, a seminal moment in the history of television appears to be taking place at 0.5× speed. @nathanbottomley.com & Joe realise that classic doesn’t mean best, but classic gets labelled for a reason. untitledstartrekproject.com/174/

Here is my Spotify 2025 top 5 podcasts @untitledstartrekproject.com

“Terrible beyond terrible.” Ronald D. Moore “Sometimes you just have to bow to the absurd.” Jean–Luc Picard “That was fun.” “Yeah, I thought that was great.” Joe and Nathan, Untitled Star Trek Project untitledstartrekproject.com/173/

This week on Deep Space Nine, Dukat (Kathy Bates) and Sisko (James Caan) crash land on one of Star Trek’s less convincing standing sets, and then have a proper talk about their Feelings and Values. (Antipathy, and for one of them, Racism.) @nathanbottomley.com podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/u...

This week in Star Trek: Slow-Witted White Men, no one does much of anything at all — at least not anything that anyone will remember 23 years later. @nathanbottomley.com & Joe are staggered at how three people could dream up something this unambitious. untitledstartrekproject.com/171/

This week, we are properly introduced to Voyager’s latest Intransigent Alien Antagonist, in preparation for a thrilling two-part epic in a couple of weeks’ time. Things go pretty well, on the whole. #StarTrek #StarTrekVoyager untitledstartrekproject.com/170/

Water turns into booze on board the Enterprise-D, and soon the entire crew is horny, depressed, or facing an awkward meeting with HR on Monday. After all this, Joe can’t see how this show becomes a hit, but @nathanbottomley.com thinks he can. Bottoms up, everyone! untitledstartrekproject.com/169/

An unexpected but not unprecedented miracle turns water into booze on board the Enterprise-D, and soon the entire crew is horny, depressed, or facing an awkward meeting with HR on Monday. Bottoms up, everyone! #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG untitledstartrekproject.com/169/

USTP reaches Arena! Iconic, memorable and visually striking — this is why nerds still podcast about the show 58½ years later. @nathanbottomley.com untitledstartrekproject.com/168/

This should be a lot of fun! pca.st/episode/549a...

Gornfest 2025 continues this week on Untitled Star Trek Project, as we head back to 1967 — when the Gorn were just a single rubber lizard in a spangly minidress and the Federation was barely a glint in Gene L. Coon’s eye. #StarTrek #StarTrekTOS untitledstartrekproject.com/168/

Together in person again for an epic two-parter. #StarTrek #StarTrekSNW untitledstartrekproject.com/167/

This is only the second episode of USTP that we’ve recorded together in the same room.

In the era of the Consulting Psychopath, Ezri Dax decides to investigate murder with the help of crap-haired nutjob host Joran. It’s all very light and implausible, but we get a few laughs, Ezri gets a big gun, and the cast get their usual DS9 beats. untitledstartrekproject.com/166/

Coming Sunday - the big 1000! Hamster reaches a thousand episodes of laughter, madness and critique. Prepare for highlights, celebrations, celebrities, and much self indulgence!

Michael Burnham falls down the rabbit hole, where she finds an mirror image of her previous life: a crew regarding her with suspicion, a captain manipulating her, and Starfleet obsessed with secrecy. And then the homicidal monster shows up. untitledstartrekproject.com/165/

Voyager is beset by a bunch of crazy Star Trek crap — involving china cups, sandwiches and curly-headed moppets, for the most part — but after 45 minutes @nathanbottomley & @docoho still have no idea why it happens or how we should feel about any of it. untitledstartrekproject.com/164/

Lest we forget Jane way and Paris turning into mating Salamanders and, of course, "Get this cheese to sickbay"...

This week, the middle episode of a mid-range arc in the middest of all the shows in the Star Trek franchise. Trip and Malcolm are trapped in various rooms pressing buttons, while the Tellarites and Andorians are on their usual space alien bullshit. #StarTrek untitledstartrekproject.com/163

Finally, I got to listen to the latest @untitledstartrekproject.com open.spotify.com/episode/2BkC...

We had a slight glitch in the subspace manifold, but it's all fixed now, and so this week's episode is now ready to go. #StarTrek #StarTrekSNW untitledstartrekproject.com/162

Strange New Worlds jumps genres this week to create something hitherto inconceivable in Star Trek: a high-stakes space problem that can only be solved with a massive, heartfelt musical finale. @nathanbottomley.com & @docoho44.bsky.social humalong! untitledstartrekproject.com/162/

Next Friday untitledstartrekproject.com #StarTrek #StarTrekSNW

The Vaadwaur, a phantom army that appears out of thin air, destroys entire colonies, and vanishes in the blink of an eye — but whose soldiers’ physiognomy is such that few men can find them afterwards. @nathanbottomley.com & @docoho44.bsky.social mock. untitledstartrekproject.com/161/

Once the Bo’Mar were the stupidest looking Voyager aliens (coat hanger chic) but now the crown is taken by the labial Vaaadwaar!

The crew of La Sirena turn up at a lavish black-tie gala for some top-quality character work, only to be overshadowed by an incredible musical number by Alison Pill and a lovely scene of kindly encouragement from Patrick Stewart. @nathanbottomley.com untitledstartrekproject.com/159/

Listening to @untitledstartrekproject.com while I am lounging rest the bad foot.

(C) we all stand around in Ops talking about the computer; (B) Julian gets some funny lines (A) Odo and Lwaxana are trapped in a lift together with nothing to do but some amazing and moving acting. @nathanbottomley.com & @docoho44.bsky.social investigate. untitledstartrekproject.com/158/

A personal mission: to teach Picard how much he owes his young, undisciplined self, and to remind us that youth is difficult, and that the people living through it deserve our respect. Those times made @nathanbottomley.com & @docoho44.bsky.social who they are untitledstartrekproject.com/157/

Only @docoho44.bsky.social & @nathanbottomley.com could make this episode of Voyager interesting @untitledstartrekproject.com open.spotify.com/episode/5P6c...

Another great @untitledstartrekproject.com episode. This one @nathanbottomley.com & @docoho44.bsky.social discuss the series finale of #LowerDecks. This podcast is how I start my Fridays

We witness the ascension of Lower Decks, as it finishes its run on television. It’s funny and heartwarming and visually arresting, of course, and @nathanbottomley.com & @docoho44.bsky.social can’t imagine what life would be like without it. Engage the core! untitledstartrekproject.com/155/

Tendy & T’Lyn learn about co-operation, Mariner seeks The Inner Light, Boimer & Rutherford lick sauce off a console topless, and Data shows up top! As ever with Lower Decks, @nathanbottomley.com & @docoho44.bsky.social are delighted! untitledstartrekproject.com/154/

I am starting my Friday with the latest @untitledstartrekproject.com open.spotify.com/episode/5G0o...

Another great episode of @untitledstartrekproject.com I am glad it's @nathanbottomley.com @docoho44.bsky.social watching The Empath and not me. Thanks, guys! open.spotify.com/episode/1jjr...

A series of urgent production catastrophes this week, as we arrive at Paramount Studios with no set, no lines for our female guest star, and a script with no story and no plot. Can these omnipotent bum-headed aliens help us out? #StarTrek untitledstartrekproject.com/153/

This week, Jean Simmons strides imperiously onto the Enterprise bridge, accompanied by her executive assistant, her scary stenographer, her daddy issues, and a terrifying sense of self-righteous rage. Unmissable. untitledstartrekproject.com/152/
