The D-Con Chamber

Marvin Rush

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. Each week in The D-Con Chamber, we boldly revisit Star Trek: Enterprise through behind-the-scenes stories, watch-along commentaries, and conversations with the people whose lives were forever changed by the franchise. Whether they are breaking down classic episodes or welcoming special guests from across the Trek universe and beyond, hosts Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer mix laughs, insider perspective, and Trek appreciation in every episode. 📸 Instagram: @thedconchamber 🌐 Website: https://thedconchamber.com 🛍️ Shop: https://thedconchamber.com/shop 🌳 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thedconchamber  Want more?

Enterprise "The Catwalk" watch party | S02 E12

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!

Enterprise "Precious Cargo" watch party | S02 E11

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!

Enterprise "Vanishing Point" watch party with DAVID STRAITON | S02 E10

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...)
