Episode 1 • Nov 04, 2021
Lucy Loves Trek
It all began when Gene Roddenberry convinced Desilu to foot the bill for not one, but two Star Trek pilots. Thanks to Desilu's boss - America's darling Lucille Ball - the world met Kirk, Spock, and McCoy.
Episode 2 • Nov 11, 2021
Saturday Morning Pinks
Didn't realize there was a cartoon version of Star Trek in the early 1970s? Not only was it great, but with original series creator Gene Roddenberry, writer D.C. Fontana, and the series' original stars on board, it is the fourth season of the original show.
Episode 3 • Nov 18, 2021
Trekking through the '70s - Phase II and The Motion Picture
Paramount wanted to launch a fourth network with the new Star Trek series Phase II as its flagship. When the network proved unworkable, Phase II appeared doomed - until Star Wars and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind proved box office hits. Phase II became the 1979 blockbuster Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Episode 4 • Nov 21, 2021
Trek Goes To The Movies
The 1980s saw Paramount release three linked Star Trek movies to huge box-office success. The first, The Wrath Of Khan, saw Ricardo Montalban as Khan, a villain from the original series, return. It was followed by The Search For Spock, directed by Leonard Nimoy. He returned to the director's chair for The Voyage Home, the biggest Star Trek success yet.
Episode 5 • Nov 21, 2021
Whales, God and Pepto Bismol
The mid 1980's saw three directors of note helm Star Trek features; Leonard Nimoy came back to save the whales in Trek's biggest box office hit, followed by William Shatner helming the crew's search for God, and the return of Nicholas Meyer for the original crew's final adventure, one drenched in pink Klingon blood.
Episode 6 • Feb 05, 2022
Queue for Q
In 1987 Paramount decided Trek should return to its roots - television. ST: The Next Generation would become the first hour-long scripted show sold directly to the syndicated television market. Paramount's gamble paid off. Who hasn't heard of Picard, Data, and Worf?
Episode 7 • Feb 12, 2022
Dancing with Syndication in the Pale Moonlight
After Gene Roddenberry's death, Trek ventured into yet another incarnation. Deep Space Nine was different from its predecessor, set on a space station. Its 1993 debut featured an African American Captain and heavily serialized story arcs - both firsts. This was new Trek.
Episode 8 • Feb 19, 2022
Voyage(r) to the Delta Quadrant
1995 brought another Trek series. This one featured a new starship, a return to episodic storytelling, and Trek's first female Captain, Kathryn Janeway. It was also the flagship for Paramount's new television network, United Paramount Network (UPN). Despite running seven seasons, the addition of Seven Of Nine wasn't well-received by the entire cast.
Episode 9 • Feb 26, 2022
Starships A-Z
Kirk, Spock, Picard, Data - the list of great Trek characters is incomplete without the Enterprise, Starfleet's flagship vessel. But Enterprise isn't alone - there's a whole list of Federation vessels that aren't appreciated enough. This episode ensures they are.
Episode 10 • Mar 12, 2022
It's Been A Long Time...
Plagued by fledgling UPN's under performance, Enterprise's premise (a prequel about the Federation's founding) was undercut by the decision to make the third season a reaction to 9/11. Lackluster ratings meant Captain Archer and his crew would only get four seasons.
Episode 11 • Mar 30, 2022
The Stars Above
From the series regulars and recurring roles down to the folks who just did guest spots, thousands of actors have brought the characters of STAR TREK to life. Hear them tell what it's like on their side of the camera lens.

Cries from Syria

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
