The 22nd century showed us a quadrant of space in turmoil with alien races at each others throats, and a separatist movement within humans that believe they should keep all alien cultures from blending with human culture.

August 18, 2019 01:37 - 1 hour - 46.7 MBSeason 4 Retrospective Part 6. One of the many reasons to create a prequel story is to explain perceived inconsistencies in stories.

Spock, Tuvok, Sarek, Saavik, and more have captivated our imaginations and provided us a way to look at our own humanity through an alien filter.

Star Trek has created many species in over 50 years of lore, but one of the most beloved and mysterious of them all has been the Tholians.

The Tholians have been mentioned a handful of times and only seen in three episodes, however this has caused them to captur...

March 15, 2019 03:23 - 28 minutes - 20 MBSay Something Nice: Season One. Every Star Trek series has episodes that are beloved, and thus, they are frequent topics of discussion with fans. Contrariwise, the episodes that end up on the bottom of lists for rankings often get forgotten or skipped. However, the fans that hosts this podcast believe that there is always something to enjoy in every episode of Star Trek. Too often we tend to dwell on the negative aspects of these episodes. In a new series of podcasts, we go back to sea...

March 12, 2019 01:51 - 1 hour - 44 MBComparing "Identity Crisis" and "Extinction." You can call it an homage, call it inspired by, or even call it a coincidence, but, after more than 750 episodes of Star Trek, every once in a while you come across a story that seems vaguely familiar to you. Star Trek fans love to compare and contrast these stories to determine which was done better. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandi Jackola pit the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Identity Crisis" agai...

180: In New York That's Not So Bad
January 25, 2019 08:53 - 47 minutes - 108 MBEnterprise Recast. It seems that reboots and revivals are still on the rise, even in connection with shows that were airing in the early 2000s. Charmed, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and Roswell, New Mexico are examples of such shows that have been remade with completely new actors cast in the roles, even though it seems not that long ago that the original versions of these shows were airing. And of course, we here at Warp Five began thinking about what it might look like if we recast ...

January 18, 2019 04:27 - 51 minutes - 35.7 MBSection 31. Section 31 was introduced in the sixth season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine just when the war seemed to be reaching a tipping point for the Federation. Labelled as an illegal group that worked outside of Starfleet and was accountable to no one, many fans latched on to this story element, and it quickly became a favorite of many. This organization would continue to crop up in the series, and was even recently announced to have their own upcoming series on CBS All Access. In ...
178: That's What Boomers Do!
January 14, 2019 23:19 - 1 hour - 146 MBWriting a "Boomer" Episode. Most Star Trek: Enterprise fans agree that Travis Mayweather was never fully utilized, and the idea of what it meant to be a "Boomer" was never explored to its full potential. There are many fan stories that have been written about Mayweather's ship and family, but now the official Warp Five version can finally be told! In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandi Jackola write a season five episode addressing Boomers, Terra Prime, Planet No...
177: Shadows of Pajamas
December 14, 2018 07:01 - 41 minutes - 28.5 MBTop Five Episode Titles. Episode titles can often be tricky to write. Some titles may give too much away. Some may only make sense after seeing the episode. Some are completely straightforward. But one thing cannot be denied - episode titles are important, and thus, most fans have their favorites.

November 16, 2018 02:59 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBSeason Four Retrospective Part 4. The final season of Star Trek: Enterprise is brimming with story arcs spanning two or more episodes. However, not every episode of season four was part of an arc. There were a few standalone episodes mixed in, and two of them deal with different parts of Star Trek history, both before and after the time in which Enterprise is set - one dipping into the history of the transporter, the other showing us a different facet of an alien race introduced in the...

November 09, 2018 07:01 - 52 minutes - 36.4 MBLooking Back. After Floyd Dorsey's much lamented retirement from Warp Five, remaining host Brandon-Shea Mutala cast his net to capture another co-host, catching not one, but two, in the process. Forty-one episodes and close to a year later (or ten years in podcasting measurement), for better or worse, in sickness and in health, they are still teaming up to discuss all things Star Trek: Enterprise. As 2018 winds down, the hosts gather 'round the microphones to look back on what they've do...
170: Future Archer from the 28th Century
November 02, 2018 06:01 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MB"These Are the Voyages..." Rewrite Part 2. Though Rick Berman described the series finale of Star Trek: Enterprise as a "valentine to the fans", many viewers didn't see it as such. To this day, few fans of the series feel that it was a fitting end to the series, and most think the cast deserved better than appearing only as holograms. But was there anything salvageable in the episode? Could it be, for lack of a better word, fixed? In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala...

168: Patty Sue
October 19, 2018 06:01 - 1 hour - 42.8 MBAlternate Crew. When the NX-01 Enterprise was completed, Starfleet knew that the first warp five-capable ship needed a crew who were at the top of their respective fields. This new class of starship would be traveling to places previously unseen by human eyes, and developing new relationships (and, sometimes, rivalries) with new species. The crew had to be not only extremely capable, but also adaptable, as they literally did not know what they would find beyond the boundaries of the So...
167: Massive Dictator
October 12, 2018 06:01 - 1 hour - 47.6 MBWriters' Room. Most Star Trek: Enterprise fans agree that the "Vulcan Trilogy" in season four is one of the best stories of the season, if not the series. There are, however, loose ends that some would like to have seen tied off. Did V'Las ever face a trial for his actions? Or did he escape to Romulus before judgment could be made and punishment carried out? In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandi Jackola write a season five episode addressing the fate of the de...
166: They Were Playing Justin Bieber
October 05, 2018 06:01 - 56 minutes - 39.3 MB"Shockwave, Part II" Commentary. After nearly four months of waiting. the season two premiere of Enterprise finally answered the burning questions of the cliffhanger season one finale, except for disclosing the identity of the future man from whom Silik has been receiving instructions. Though perhaps not as well-received as "Shockwave", part two does reach a satisfying conclusion to what happens to Archer, whether the crew of the NX-01 can make their rendezvous with the Vulcan ship befor...
165: Galaxy Quest Daniels
September 28, 2018 06:01 - 1 hour - 49.3 MB"Shockwave" Commentary. Season One of Enterprise ended in a way no other Trek series had previously done in its first season - with a cliffhanger. In January, 2002, Rick Berman himself teased that season one's finale would "most likely" end with said cliffhanger. Many fans include "Shockwave" as part of their "essential Enterprise", as more than one running story converge in part one of this two-part episode. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala and Brandi Jackola of...
164: Are They From Oregon or Are They Made of Oregano?
September 21, 2018 06:01 - 1 hour - 48.5 MBAsk Me Anything. Here at Warp Five, we hosts frequently give our opinions on whatever topic we may be discussing. Listening to a podcast, however, is ultimately one-sided, which is why we have created the Babel Conference, a Facebook group where our listeners can discuss our episodes with us and with each other. Sometimes, though, we wonder what burning questions listeners may have that are never addressed within our podcast topics, and thus, we decided to present an entire episode of "A...
163: A Primer for the Prime Directive
September 14, 2018 06:01 - 1 hour - 73.9 MB"Cogenitor". Gender: a word that seems simple at first, and in days past had a limited definition. But as with all language, the meanings of words change with use and context. Dictionary.com defines gender (in relation to life forms, and not grammar) as: 1. either the male or female division of a species, especially as differentiated by social and cultural roles and behavior:the feminine gender. 2. a similar category of human beings that is outside the male/female binary classification...
162: Big Man In Heat
September 07, 2018 06:01 - 56 minutes - 39.4 MB"Desert Crossing." A few episodes after the events of "Detained" in season one of Star Trek: Enterprise, it comes to light that the story of Archer freeing the Suliban detainees is spreading across the galaxy. And, like a game of "Telephone", elements of the story have been greatly exaggerated, leading some to believe that Archer and the Enterprise are a military power to be reckoned with. Though Captain Archer can't control what stories have been told and retold, he and Commander Tuck...
161: No, Its Not That One Either
August 31, 2018 06:01 - 44 minutes - 30.9 MB"The Seventh." Captain Archer has never really trusted the Vulcans because of what he felt was their interference with the Warp 5 project. When his mission as Captain of the NX-01 finally began, the Vulcan high command installed a Vulcan crew member as his science officer. During the first two years of their mission, Archer and T'Pol seemed to have an uneasy working relationship, until T'Pol approached Archer and asked him to join her on a mission to capture a criminal that eluded her ...
160: Yelling at a Daisy
August 24, 2018 06:01 - 1 hour - 46.4 MB"Horizon" Commentary. Season two of Enterprise is rife with examples of the characters settling into their places in the story, and of the show becoming more comfortable with what it is and what stories the writers and producers wanted to tell. Acting upon a suggestion of Anthony Montgomery, the actor playing the part of Ensign Travis Mayweather, it was decided that an episode would be focused on Travis’s boomer roots and would feature his family. Thus, the twentieth episode of season tw...

158: Number One Helmsman of the One Ship Fleet
August 17, 2018 04:03 - 1 hour - 152 MBSeason Two Travis Mayweather Moments. The Enterprise NX-01 is known in Starfleet history as the first warp five-capable starship. And for every starship, there must be someone at the helm. The NX-01 was regularly helmed by Travis Mayweather, a young, quietly enthusiastic man who “couldn't call a place home unless it came with a pair of warp nacelles”. Born and raised on the cargo ship ECS Horizon, Travis was groomed to one day become captain of that ship, but instead followed his heart a...
157: One of Those Memes
August 10, 2018 06:01 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MBWriters' Room - Enterprise Movie. How a television series ends may color how viewers feel about that series as a whole. All too often, a series is canceled without notice, and many loose ends are left untied. Sometimes, the series writers know the end is coming, and have chosen how to tell that final story before shuffling off that mortal coil. Even in such cases, the last story may not be to everyone's liking, and possibly won't give viewers the closure they feel the characters deserve...

July 27, 2018 10:30 - 1 hour - 56.6 MBEvery society goes through stages of evolution, often propelled by religion. Such change is not always welcome and is rarely easily accepted. There will always be those who feel they are losing power and try to silence those who bring new knowledge to light. But the change eventually becomes the norm—at least until others with more knowledge begin the cycle again. And this can happen on any world, as we see in fourth season of Enterprise in what has come to be known as The Vulcan Trilogy. ...

July 13, 2018 06:01 - 56 minutes - 39.4 MBNew #WarpFive! “Oh, Hoshi, I Love You!” Season One Hoshi Moments The earliest interactions between people are often the most formative - regardless of whether those people exist in real life, or fictional characters. Though first impressions can often be wrong, many people still cling to those initial moments and form judgments of a person or character, even if those judgments are inaccurate due to limited perception and experience. Therefore, if one is to really know another person or...

July 06, 2018 22:51 - 1 hour - 57.2 MB"Detained" Deep Dive. In the wake of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Executive Order 9066 was issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, authorizing the deportation and incarceration of Japanese Americans. Nearly 120,00 people on the West Coast were forced into internment camps further inland under suspicion of spying for the enemy. At least 62% of those incarcerated were United States citizens. These actions were found much later to be based on "race prejudice, war hys...
153: Pew, Pew!
June 29, 2018 06:01 - 1 hour - 43.2 MBWriting the MACOs Into Starfleet. The Military Assault Command Operations became a part of Star Trek: Enterprise in season three. Not a division of Starfleet, they were a United Earth military organization that had trained relentlessly as soldiers, but had little actual battle experience outside of simulations, though their technology and tactics were more advanced. Rumor has it that after The United Federation of Planets was founded, Starfleet turned towards science and exploration, an...

June 22, 2018 06:01 - 1 hour - 64.9 MBSeason 4 Retrospective Part 2. Genetically enhanced humans have popped up in all forms of science fiction media for almost as long as the genre has existed, and Star Trek is no exception. Our first look at "augments," or genetically engineered humans, came in the original Star Trek series episode "Space Seed", when we meet the unforgettable Khan and learn about the Eugenics Wars of Earth past. Gene Roddenberry based this backstory on events from our own history during World War II, when ...
