Hyperchannel 107: Remembering Libertini

DS9 Akorem Laan actor passes away.

The start of 2016 has continued the trend of Star Trek actors and creatives leaving us behind, and the latest loss is Richard Libertini, who played the Bajoran poet Akorem Laan in the DS9 episode ”Accession.” We take a moment to look back at his prolific career, which included countless shows that you grew up watching and continued all the way through 2015 … still with a Star Trek connection.

Hyperchannel 106: Third Verse, Less Than the First

Paramount’s 50th anniversary Star Trek movie sets.

There's no better time than the 50th anniversary to dip into the untapped well of knowledge that is out there amongst the people who created Star Trek. So why are there no new extras on Paramount’s upcoming rerelease of the TOS and TNG motion picture collections? In fact, why are the existing extras now gone? We share our thoughts on the matter.

Hyperchannel 105: Born with (Paper) Teeth

Kate Mulgrew’s memoir comes to paperback.

In April of 2015, Kate Mulgrew’s memoir Born with Teeth brought us the story of her journey from a young girl in Dubuque, Iowa, to the bridge of the U.S.S. Voyager. It’s a book that’s gotten rave reviews, but so far has been available only in hardcover and audio. If you’ve been waiting for the paperback release, Back Bay Books has answered your call. Now you can explore Mulgrew’s childhood, her life as an actress, her first audition for Janeway, her family story, and more in an easy-to-carry package.

Hyperchannel 104: CBS Has Everything to Do with Streaming Star Trek Series

Glen Geller speaks about Star Trek 2017.

By now, if you're a Star Trek fan, you know that a new series is coming to the CBS All Access streaming service. While there isn't really anything new that we know about the series, SlashFilm has published an article titled “CBS Has Nothing To Do with Streaming Star Trek Series,” in which they quote CBS Entertainment’s new president, Glen Geller. Is that true? Hardly. We share our thoughts on the topic.
