Description
The long wait is finally over! Star Trek Beyond debuted in theaters this past weekend and both Dan and Bill attended Thursday night IMAX 3D showings in their towns. This week's episode contains nothing but spoilers, so if you haven't seen Star Trek Beyond yet, you should skip this episode for now. After a discussion on the plot, we'll take a look at the aspects of Beyond that we really enjoyed, and those we didn't. We'll also examine whether this film reflects The Original Series, as well as where it falls in an impromptu stack ranking of all the Star Trek movies. Plus, there's news out of San Diego Comic Con about the new Star Trek series coming to CBS All Access in January! There's LOTS of new Star Trek in Episode 69, and we hope you'll join us! FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS OF FIVE YEAR MISSION! We can't thank FIVE YEAR MISSION enough. We are truly grateful to them for allowing us to use their music for every episode of Trek Geeks. You really should check them out--they're writing and recording one original song for each episode of the classic Star Trek series from the 1960's. Beam on over to their website at FiveYearMission.net and check out all of their fantastic albums! You can hear them all: Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, The Trouble with Tribbles, and of course, the amazing Spock's Brain!
