Promenade Merchants: A Star Trek Podcast

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

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! Follow us @PromTrekPod We’re on Bluesky @promtrekpod.bsky.app

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.  

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 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!

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.

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.
