David Mack and Star Trek

The Canon Trap

On this Stardate hosts Bryan and Christina—married, opinionated and boldly nerdy—team up with guest Tim Rideout (The Mind Reels) for a no-holds-barred Trek talk focused on Strange New Worlds. From what soared to what sputtered in Seasons 1 and 2, they unpack character arcs, storytelling swings, and why canon might just be a polite suggestion at this point. Expect wild theories, hopeful wishes, and a few spicy predictions about where the Star Trek franchise could boldly (or bizarrely) go next.
