TrekRanks 206: Top 5 Scenes on a Bridge

It's maybe the most expansive topic in TrekRanks history. In a return to our ongoing "Scenes in Trek" series we tackle the "Top 5 Scenes on a Bridge." And in Star Trek, as you know, a whole lot of the show takes place on the bridge! Our expert panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Charlynn Schmiedt, Kimberly Lawler and Foz Rotten have a great time covering this massive topic with heavy hitters, deep cuts and some emotional wallops. It's another TrekRanks classic! Episode Rundown: Diagnostic Cycle: Where we briefly get into the details of defining the show's specific topic and run down our "Scenes in Trek" role call of past topics! Prime Directive: Each guest on this week's panel reveals exactly how they narrowed down list and made their final choices. The Order of Things: All the picks are revealed with the TrekRanks' original "Five words and a hashtag" summary. Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list. Regeneration Cycle: The panel recaps their picks and we dissect some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion. Temporal Inversion: We relay a special voicemail commemorating our 200th episode. If you have your own picks you would like to relay to us, please hail us at 757-828-RANK (7265) and record your own personal TrekRanks log to let us know your Top 5 Scenes on a Bridge.
