The Captain Speaks -- Trek's Past, Present & Future

This week on TrekHeadlines Five to Watch, we’re covering a lot of ground — from the piece of television history that almost never happened, to the future of the franchise under Paramount Skydance. Plus, William Shatner weighs in on the Starfleet Academy cancellation, the Season 1 finale gets a worthy send-off, and we uncover the surprisingly earthly reason Trek kept recycling those alien faces. Five headlines, one podcast, no latex required.
