Ep 215215: Walk Softly and Carry a Big Stick
"Sleeping Dogs" 20th-anniversary reflections. When the NX-01 identifies a gas giant, Archer gets excited to investigate. But a disabled ship turns out to belong to the Klingons, and the third meeting with the warrior race goes about how we would expect. Being human, the crew attempts a rescue, but becomes trapped themselves, setting off a race that requires cooperation between the burgeoning adversaries. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore "Sleeping Dogs" and how Archer learns that, to deal with this adversary, he must start thinking like a Klingon. We also discuss character growth for Hoshi and T'Pol, how the entire crew is learning to work together, and how this story highlights the importance of trying to understand the other side.

Ep 214214: We're Not Here to Play God, But ...
"Dear Doctor" 20th-anniversary reflections. An alien astronaut leads the Enterprise crew to a planet in crisis. Two intelligent humanoid species live side by side, but one is suffering from a deadly disease. Unraveling the mystery puts Doctor Phlox and Captain Archer at odds as they decide whether or not to intervene in the development of another society. And Phlox shares all the details with his pen pal. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore "Dear Doctor" and the moral conundrum it presents for humans operating in a pre-Prime Directive world. We also debate whether Star Trek's famous directive would even apply here and what the ultimate decision says about Archer and Phlox. We also explore the burgeoning relationship between the doctor and Cutler.

Ep 213213: Much More Than Just Pineapple
"Silent Enemy" 20th-anniversary reflections. When the Enterprise encounters an alien ship, Archer once again gets excited about a chance to tell some aliens that he's from Earth. But it turns out that these aliens truly are alien, and the crew of the NX-01 find themselves in danger from a threat that has no interest in interacting in the usual way. This leads Archer to realize that the Enterprise is not equipped to deal with the realities of deep space exploration. Also weighing heavily on his mind is Malcolm's birthday, and he sends Hoshi on a top-priority mission to discover the armory officer's favorite food. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore "Silent Enemy" and how an utterly baffling encounter with mysterious aliens helps Archer realize that deep space exploration isn't going to be as easy as he thought. We also discuss character development for Malcolm, Archer's care for those under his command, grumpy parents, and, of course, the search for pineapple.

Ep 212212: That Thing That Showed Me Stuff
"Cold Front" 20th-anniversary reflections. When the Enterprise encounters a freighter transporting a group of pilgrims, Archer sees the perfect opportunity for a little cultural exchange. But what first appears to be an enlightening religious experience turns deadly when the NX-01's engines are sabotaged and an unlikely figure comes to the rescue. Things only get stranger from there when Crewman Daniels reveals that he is from 900 years in the future and charged with keeping an eye on factions fighting one another in a temporal cold war. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore "Cold Front" and the Temporal Cold War storyline that was inserted to make the show feel more futuristic. Along the way, we discuss the Suliban, time travel, spirituality in Star Trek, movie night, and more. Hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C. Lao (Associate Producer)

Ep 211211: Fourth and Nausicaan
"Fortunate Son" 20th-anniversary reflections When a Warp 2 freighter named Fortunate sends a distress signal, the Enterprise is sent to assist. But when they arrive, they find that the crew doesn't want help and are holding a Nausicaan prisoner. A tug-o-war between Archer and the freighter's acting captain sheds a light on the rift between Earth's past and future in space as Starfleet and Boomer culture collide. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore "Fortunate Son" and how the story serves as a transition point for humans in space. We discuss the importance of Boomer culture to the setup of the prequel story, football in space, and how the experience with the Fortunate advances the slow formation of a code of behavior that will guide how mankind operates in deep space. We also ask what the series loses by allowing Travis to fade into the background after a story such as this and whether Nausicaans should be showing up on Enterprise. Hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C. Lao (Associate Producer)

Ep 210210: The Original Cosplay
"Civilization" 20th-anniversary reflections In the first encounter with an Earth-like planet that is home to a full-fledged pre-warp civilization, the crew of the Enterprise NX-01 faces a situation tailor made for the Prime Directive. Excited to explore an alien world and society that reminds them of their own roots, the crew pioneers the trademarked Starfleet plastic surgery and heads down to the surface. But they find themselves in the middle of an alien infiltration that puts their morals to the test and delivers a story worthy of The Original Series. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore "Civilization" and how the story captures the pure excitement of early space exploration as well as the feel of The Original Series. We also discuss the early seeds of what will develop into the Prime Directive, Phlox's house of cosplay, Captain Archer as a first impression of humanity, and debate how the universal translator works. Hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C. Lao (Associate Producer)

Ep 209209: Ice Vulcan Cometh
"Breaking the Ice" 20th-anniversary reflections When the Enterprise takes a detour to investigate a comet, a series of trials put trust to the test. Things get frosty as Vulcan–human animosity and suspicion once again come to the surface aboard the NX-01 while Malcolm and Travis build a snowman on the comet's surface. There lots of ice to break in this episode. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore "Breaking the Ice" and discuss the test of trust between T'Pol and her human crewmates as well as how her conversations with Trip foreshadow the romance that is to come. We also talk about the price of pride—and how it impacts both Vulcan and human sides of the story—as well as the great fun that is letters from students and the deliciousness that is pecan pie. Hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C. Lao (Associate Producer)

Ep 208208: Triangle of Distrust
"The Andorian Incident" 20th-anniversary reflections When the Enterprise drops by a Vulcan monastery to check out the meditation, they find a priest whose behavior is so odd, with such outbursts, that they know something must be wrong. Sensing this, Archer and Trip do what humans do and crash the party—a move that leads to a hostage situation and the ultimate discovery of Vulcan treachery. It's a triangle of distrust among the founding members of the Federation that provides critical background to the Star Trek story that had been missing decades. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore "The Andorian Incident" and discuss how this story not only brings back one of Star Trek's most-beloved—and least-known—species but also plants the seeds for the alliance that comes to define the future that Gene Roddenberry envisioned. We also talk about why deceitful Vulcans provide needed room for growth in storytelling and how the Prime Directive begins to take shape. And if you listen long enough, you may even find an appearance by the Blue Man Group. Hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C. Lao (Associate Producer)

Ep 207207: Losing Pieces of Yourself
"Terra Nova" 20th-anniversary reflections The Enterprise may be the first Warp 5-capable ship—and the vehicle for Earth's first real mission to actively explore deep space—but it isn't the first time humans set out to settle the stars. A planet called Terra Nova was the site of the first human colony outside our solar system. But it has been a long time since anyone has heard from the settlers. Archer and his crew learn why when they drop by for a visit and find out that they aren't welcome. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore "Terra Nova" and discuss why this story that was not well received by fans and critics is overflowing with questions and commentary that are right at the core of Star Trek. And none of it is shale. We also talk about Archer's frustrations with humans who won't trust him, the portrayal of colonization, evolving morals, and the situation room. Hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C. Lao (Associate Producer)

Ep 206206: Innocent Interactions
"Unexpected" 20th-anniversary reflections Starfleet is known for its willingness to lend a helping hand to ships in need, and the same can be said for the Enterprise in those early days of humanity's space exploration. The discovery that a cloaked alien ship is leaching energy from the NX-01 is met with compassion rather than anger, but Trip Tucker gets more than he bargained for when he ventures over to help the Xyrillians. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore "Unexpected" and how humans learn the hard way that, when dealing with first contacts in deep space, even good intentions and innocent interactions can have serious consequences. We also discuss how this lighthearted story—heavily panned by media and fans of the time—further establishes Trip's personality and helps the writers develop his character as the series progresses.

Ep 205205: Stun the Bug
"Strange New World" 20th-anniversary reflections Although the crew of the Enterprise NX-01 visited Rigel X and Qo'noS in the pilot episode, "Broken Bow," the first stopover on a Minshara-class planet during their mission of exploration takes an unexpected turn. What at first appears to be an idyllic Earth-like world becomes the setting for a test of trust between humans and Vulcans as a dark and stormy night forces the landing party to take refuge in caves and Trip suspects T'Pol of collaborating with the natives. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we explore how "Strange New World" establishes the story of humanity in space that leads us to the Federation. We also discuss the sense of wonder in exploration, early technology, and Hoshi's key role in saving the day. Hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C. Lao (Associate Producer)

Ep 204204: All Life Is Risk
"Fight or Flight" 20th-anniversary reflections. In their first deep space encounter with an unfamiliar ship, the Enterprise crew makes a chilling discovery that tests their nerves and human instincts. The alien ship's crew has been slaughtered and strung up to the ceiling, attached to a device that collects fluids from their bodies. It's an especially unnerving finding for Hoshi Sato, who is already struggling with doubts about her ability to cope with the unknown and the risk that comes with life aboard a starship exploring deep space. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss how "Fight or Flight" sets the stage for the series now that we've moved beyond the pilot and how the encounter with the Axanar exposes human naivety and highlights the challenge of adaptation. We also explore how human and Vulcan points of view are used to contrast reactions to the unknown and risk, as well as Archer's evolving view of how human morals will apply in space. Hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C. Lao (Associate Producer)

Ep 203203: Breaking the Roddenberry Mold
"Broken Bow" 20th-anniversary reflections. After 14 consecutive years of telling stories set in the 24th century, Star Trek looked back in time for the premise of the franchise's fifth spinoff series. Initially entitled simply Enterprise, the show that would continue the franchise's run on television after Star Trek: Voyager was set in the 22nd century and sought to answer a question that many fans had long wanted to know: how did humans get from World War III and first contact to the vast Federation seen in The Original Series and beyond? And while the launch of the NX-01 and this prequel remain fresh in many of our minds, 20 years have now passed since the September 26, 2001 premiere. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing kick off a 20th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this first installment, we ourselves look back in time to discuss the birth of the series as well as the pilot, "Broken Bow," sharing memories of our first viewing and how our love for the series has grown over the past two decades.

Ep 201201: I Kinda Almost Chuckled
NX-01 Movie Night: Spaceballs. Friendship and fellowship is important for people's general health and well-being. All of the Star Trek series have shown some sort of interaction between the members of its crew on screen in varying ways. The Next Generation had poker, Deep Space Nine had Vic's lounge, Voyager had Sandrine's and the resort program, and Enterprise had movie night. Since the invention of home video releases of films, many fans of movies have participated in an event know as "Movie Night!" People gather together in a group, watch a movie, and then discuss the film in a casual conversation. Sometimes they even go out for a slice of pie while they discuss. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala and Patrick Devlin have one last discussion for the Movie Night series of episodes with Spaceballs. Was all the build up worth it? Find out!

Ep 200200: When the Fruit Basket Disappeared
Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens Interview. Season four of Star Trek: Enterprise saw many changes to the creative team working on the show. One addition to the writing staff of the show was Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. No stranger to Star Trek or television writing, the Reeves-Stevens brought their wealth of Trek knowledge and Star Trek novel writing experience to the team. Drawing on their experience, fans of the show were treated to what is considered by many to be the best season of the shows run, due in large part to the many nods to established Star Trek continuity. In this episode of Warp Five, host Brandon-Shea Mutala interviews the writing duo of Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens to discuss their vast career. We discuss writing books, television, Batman: The Animated Series, Aliens Ate My Homework, William Shatner, Disney, Canadian bears, and much more.

Ep 199199: I Have No Idea What Channel Carried it
First Time Star Trek: Enterprise Viewer: Season 3. Most Star Trek fans have watched the episodes multiple times, and after more than fifty years of broadcasting, we are surprised when we meet someone that hasn't watched some of the episodes, or even hasn't watched any episodes in a series at all. Kerry Purvis has been a Star Trek fan since she was a small child, but somehow she passed over Enterprise during its first run, and has only recently begun her first watch of the show. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala and Patrick Devlin are joined by Kerry Purvis to talk about her experience watching season three of Enterprise for the first time. We discuss Kerry's initial first impressions, favorite moments, Degra's arc, stand out episodes, and her favorite character moments.

Ep 197197: That Was The Season of Uniforms that Fit
Season Four Retrospective Part 7. An overarching theme for season four of Star Trek: Enterprise was the planting of the seeds of the Federation. 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. This group, know as Terra Prime, also believed that Starfleet was responsible for the Xindi attack and should stop all space exploration. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandon-Shea Mutala are joined by Star Trek author Kevin Dilmore to finish their season four retrospective. We take a look at the final five episodes of the season: "In a Mirror Darkly" part 1 and 2, "Demons," "Terra Prime," and "These Are The Voyages..." We discuss Trip and T'Pol, the separatist movement, power struggles, poor episode placement, and more. Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Welcome, Boomers!

Ep 195195: This is Microwave Pizza
Season 4 Retrospective Part 6. One of the many reasons to create a prequel story is to explain perceived inconsistencies in stories. Season four of Star Trek: Enterprise attempts to answer many question fans of Star Trek may have, including why Klingons have forehead ridges before and after The Original Series. Whether or not you concerned yourself with an answer, the episodes about the forehead ridges were produced, giving many long term fans an answer to the question. In this episode of Warp Five, host Brandon-Shea Mutala is joined by Star Trek expert John Tenuto talk about the season four episodes "Affliction," "Divergence," and "Bound." They talk about how Trip was taken off the ship just to set up a scene, how the augment arc ties to other Star Trek, and how Trip and T'Pol's relationship calls back to Sarek and Amanda.

Ep 191191: Emotional Immune System
T'Pol's Interaction With Humans. The Vulcans are a species that has fascinated fans for over 50 years. 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: Enterprise took this group of aliens and changed their portrayal, telling a whole new chapter in their history. With T'Pol being the first Vulcan to serve long term on a Starfleet vessel, we ask the question of how she reacted to serving with humans, and weather or not her attitude changed over the run of the show. In this episode of Warp Five, Patrick Devlin and Brandon-Shea Mutala are joined by Karen Chuplis to discuss T'Pol and her relationship with humans during the run of Enterprise. We also discuss how important her family is to the Star Trek universe as a whole, her relationship with Archer and Trip, and instances outside of her comfort zone.

NX-01 Movie Night: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Friendship and fellowship is important for people's general health and well-being. All of the Star Trek series have shown some sort of interaction between the members of its crew on screen in varying ways. The Next Generation had poker, Deep Space Nine had Vic's lounge, Voyager had Sandrine's and the resort program, and Enterprise had movie night. Since the invention of home video releases of films, many fans of movies have participated in an event know as "Movie Night!" People gather together in a group, watch a movie, and then discuss the film in a casual conversation. Sometimes they even go out for a slice of pie while they discuss. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandon-Shea Mutala talk about Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, listed 56th on the list of American Film Institute's "100 Funniest American Movies" in 2007. We discuss the fine line between comedy and horror that is very well toed in this movie. Should the movie have been named for Frankenstein? Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Welcome, Boomers!

Kerry Purvis has been a Star Trek fan since she was a small child, but somehow she passed over Enterprise during its first run, and has only recently begun her first watch of the show. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala and Patrick Devlin are joined by Kerry Purvis to talk about her experience watching season two of Enterprise for the first time.

Ep 187187: I Got Some Head Cannon
The Tholians With James Swallow. 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. Originally seen in the original series episode "The Tholian Web," this mysterious species was simply shown as a flicker of colors and angular shapes with an aggressive attitude and shrill voice. The Tholians have been mentioned a handful of times and only seen in three episodes, however this has caused them to capture our imaginations and fuel fan speculaton as to their origins and physical appearance. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandon Shea-Mutala talk with New York Times best-selling author James Swallow about the Tholians. We discuss the Tholian Web, traits of the species, their description in the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual, their government, other mentions, and a bit of their mentions in the extended literary universe.

Ep 185185: Archer Should Have Served them Bacon
Season Four Retrospective Part 5. An overarching theme for season four of Star Trek: Enterprise was the planting of the seeds of the Federation. The 22nd century showed us a quadrant of space in turmoil, with alien races at each others throats, and humanity portrayed as the pillar of reason and diplomacy in the foundation of both Starfleet and the Federation. We also see Archer grow into the future leader he was destined to be. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandon-Shea Mutala continue their season four retrospective, looking at the episodes "Babel One," "United," and "The Aenar." We discuss Trip and T'Pol, cheating, Romulans, and much more.

Ep 184184: Gettin' Some Gettin' Some
Say 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 season one and say something nice about three episodes we did not especially like. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandon-Shea Mutala take a look back at season one of Enterprise and find something nice to say about episodes that aren't necessarily fan favorites, or episodes that they enjoy to watch. We discuss pregnancies, vacations, and away teams. Also, we have a special announcement from Brandi Jackola. Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Welcome, Boomers!

Ep 183183: Its Like The Toner in the Copier was Out
Comparing "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" against Star Trek: Enterprise's "Extinction". We discuss transmission of viruses, primal vs. intelligent, LeVar Burton, bloodthirsty hunting parties, point of view, and the theme of lifeforms taking over other lifeforms.

Ep 182182: Spoiler Alert!
Enterprise Video Game. The first official Star Trek game hearkens back to 1967, with a board game based on the original series. Since then, there have been various board games, card games, tabletop wargames, and role playing games. The first Star Trek video game was a text-based adventure written in BASIC, and released in 1971. There have been various others, both for PC and console, but never has there been a game specifically for Star Trek: Enterprise. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandi Jackola build an Enterprise video game. We discuss current gen vs. 8-bit, where the game begins, what characters can be played, cutscenes, side quests, and downloadable content.

Ep 180180: In New York That's Not So Bad
Enterprise 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 Enterprise with current day actors. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandi Jackola share their top picks for the seven main characters' recast. We discuss gender swaps, Starfleet hair regulations, the correct pronunciation of katana, getting Doctor Doom right, chameleons, Cody Rhodes, and how it's not necessary to have Trek knowledge in order to be a good Trek actor.

Ep 179179: Extralegal and Morally Wrong
Section 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 this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala and Patrick Devlin are joined by New York Times bestselling author David Mack to discuss Section 31. We talk about their origins, how they changed in the Kelvin timeline, badges, and common misconceptions fans have on the organization. Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Welcome, Boomers!

Ep 178178: That's What Boomers Do!
Writing 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 North Star, and true Star Trek messages.

All of the Star Trek series have shown some sort of interaction between the members of its crew on screen in varying ways. The Next Generation had poker, Deep Space Nine had Vic's lounge, Voyager had Sandrine's and the resort program, and Enterprise had movie night. Since the invention of home video releases of films, many fans of movies have participated in an event know as "Movie Night!" People gather together in a group, watch a movie, and then discuss the film in a casual conversation. Sometimes they even go out for a slice of pie while they discuss. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala and Brandi Jackola discuss the sequel to the 1931 film Frankenstein starring Boris Karloff from 1935, Bride of Frankenstein. We also discuss Ernest, Girl Guides, and Godfather Part II. Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Welcome, Boomers!

Ep 173173: Stuck In a 10,000 Year Rut.
Season 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 original series. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala, Patrick Devlin, and Brandi Jackola examine the season four episodes "Daedalus" and "Observer Effect". They discuss foreshadowing, head canon, T'Pol's journey, chess, the uniqueness of humans, needle violence, trickle-down effects, and how Brandi's really good at knocking what they say down to things people can understand.

Ep 171171: Who's Cybill Shepherd?
Looking 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 done in their time on the podcast. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala, Patrick Devlin, and Brandi Jackola recap their nine months of podcasting together. They discuss fear of falling, Brandi's nightmare Melodic Treks episode, Storm Fart, getting back into movie episodes, favorite podcast titles, Enterprise dads, great guests, falling asleep during movies, what short shrift actually means, and where they want to go from here.

Ep 170170: Future Archer from the 28th Century
"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, Brandi Jackola, and special guest Bruce Gibson from Literary Treks, in an attempt to finish their rewrite for "These Are the Voyages...". They discuss Spock on the "D," the Battle of Bajor, The Guardians of the Galaxy, and weather or not this is the greatest episode of Star Trek ever! Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Welcome, Boomers!

Ep 168168: Patty Sue
Alternate 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 Sol system. And so, a question came to mind - would any crew members from other Star Trek series fit into these same positions on the NX-01? In this episode of Warp Five hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala, Patrick Devlin, and Brandi Jackola reveal their other series picks for the NX-01 bridge crew. They discuss death glares, Captain Lorca's tribble, fitting in with season three, Voyagerprise, THE WOMEN!, engineering vs. science, and how with a different captain, movie night might turn into karaoke night.

Ep 167167: Massive Dictator
Writers' 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 deposed Vulcan High Council Leader V'Las. They discuss secret missions, undercover agents, Chaltok 4, the return of the Romulan drone, Chekov's Klingons, and how Shran determines that good torture was wasted on the wrong Vulcan.

Ep 166166: They Were Playing Justin Bieber
"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 before they are destroyed, and the fate of the Starfleet's program of exploration. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala and Brandi Jackola present their commentary of "Shockwave, Part II". They discuss "Time Enough at Last", Random Guy, slashfic for everything, torture by Justin Bieber, whether Brandi drinks blood, Fremen Daniels, turning Soval into a four-letter word, and how Jim Moorhouse should be every Enterprise extra ever.
