Tony and Laurie start the news with more of Tony’s interviews from the Star Trek Day purple carpet. They discuss Strange New Worlds showrunner Henry Alonso Myers’ big plans for season 2 and Lower Decks‘ star Tawny Newsome’s thoughts on the ways her show has changed in season 3 and how she got to bring her improv training to the set for the show’s crossover with Strange New Worlds. Then they take a look at what’s going on in the world of Star Trek merchandise, from the books, games, and figures that are out now to what’s coming in time for the holidays. After that, they review Lower Decks episode 305, “Reflections,” which they both felt was one of the strongest ones of the season. They wrap up with a look at Zachary Quinto’s ancestor’s history with a famous Vulcan phrase and a Klingon-themed gift from Bryan Fuller to Ron D. Moore during their time on Voyager.
