Alex Perry

NEW EPISODE! 🚨 @doublemacc.bsky.social joins me to discuss the strong finish to #StarTrek Enterprise S2 that sets up the innovative (and very good) Xindi arc. All that and a Borg episode in The Breach, Cogenitor, Regeneration, First Flight, Bounty, and The Expanse! blog.trekcore.com/2026/10/warp...

NEW EPISODE! 🚨 @barrettsbooks.bsky.social joins me to discuss the #StarTrek Enterprise season 2 episodes Future Tense, Canamar, The Crossing, Judgment, and Horizon. One great ep, one good ep, and 3 ok(ish) eps. Which is which? Listen and find out! blog.trekcore.com/2026/10/warp...

It's always a pleasure to join Alex on WeeklyTrek!

Check it out if you’re late to the party on this one! The best new #StarTrek podcast to debut in the last few years and the highlight of my biweekly Thursdays moving forward.

The best way to celebrate today’s 25th anniversary of #StarTrek Enterprise’s premiere on UPN in the US is not just to watch Broken Bow - it’s to listen to episode 1 of Warp Factor 5 where @trekranks.com and I fondly discuss the show’s launch and first 5 episodes! blog.trekcore.com/2026/06/warp...

Loved chatting with Alex about this run of five #StarTrek Enterprise episodes, even (especially) the hot mess that is “Precious Cargo”!

NEW EPISODE! 🚨 @eatatquarks.bsky.social returns to Warp Factor 5 to discuss #StarTrek Enterprise season 2’s low point “Precious Cargo” and then we hit a bit of an upswing with The Catwalk, Dawn, Stigma and Cease Fire. blog.trekcore.com/2026/09/warp...

#StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds ends its fourth season with “Tomorrow’s Enterprise,” a classically Star Trek-y time travel episode that felt pretty fresh. With great performances from Celia Rose Gooding and the cast, it’s a strong close. My review: blog.trekcore.com/2026/09/star...

Always a pleasure to actively derail an episode of @trekranks.com. Thanks for having me on to discuss the mouthfeel of cool character names!!!!!!

After a strong 3 episodes, #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds leans into its worst impulses in this week’s “Once La’an a Time” and offers a needless sequel. It’s the ultimate “we’re having fun, just go with it” episode, but I didn’t have much fun. My review: blog.trekcore.com/2026/09/star...

"Finally, a #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds episode without a gimmick! It's Crimson Tide in space!" Thereby proving that the gimmick isn't the thing that is causing your dislike (Crimson Tide in space is also a gimmick.)

“Orders of Magnitude” is electric television anchored in the performances of Paul Wesley as James T Kirk and Joe Morton’s guest role as Admiral Simon Reeger. It’s ultimately a fairly unoriginal badmiral episode but for a greatest hits remix it RULES. My review: blog.trekcore.com/2026/09/star...

It was a great pleasure talking with Alex about this five-episode segment of Star Trek!

NEW EPISODE! 🚨 It might not be the greatest run of 5 episodes in #StarTrek history (😬), but @tyranicus.net and I still have a fun discussion of Marauders, The Seventh, The Communicator, Singularity and Vanishing Point. How do these episodes land with you? blog.trekcore.com/2026/09/warp...

I thought I was going to hate “Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass.” But I loved it! Top 3 episode of this season of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds for me. My review: blog.trekcore.com/2026/09/star...

Here is Warp Factor 5's #StarTrek Enterprise season 1 ranking - including my scores, guest scores, and all listener submissions averaged together! How do you feel about this list? Is there an episode too high or too low? On the WF5 scale, a 3.0 is the line between "goodish" and "badish" episodes.

What a joy it was to talk with Alex about the beginning of S2 of Enterprise. There is good stuff in here and we talk all of it! 🖖🏽💚

“Off Hour” proves that #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds can still serve up incredible episodes when it tweaks the formula so the genre of the week serves rather than swamps the show. This is a great ensemble episode with many nice moments for the crew. My review: blog.trekcore.com/2026/08/star...

Chatting with @alextperry.bsky.social about S2 of ENT? Yes please! This was a wonderful batch of episodes to play with in his fin format. Come take a listen! 💚🖖🏽

NEW! Host @alextperry.bsky.social sets a course through sixty years of #StarTrek in the newest episode of the WARP FACTOR FIVE podcast — venturing into the opening chapter of ENTERPRISE Season 2 blog.trekcore.com/2026/08/warp...

NEW — The latest WeeklyTrek podcast is here! This week: Paramount+ looks ahead to the nebulous future of the #StarTrek franchise, a look behind the scenes on #StrangeNewWorlds' puppet episode, and more! blog.trekcore.com/2026/08/week...

🚨🚨🚨🚨 I am recording the #StarTrek Enterprise S1 wrap up and listener feedback episode tomorrow to drop Thursday alongside the first episode covering S2. If you want to submit any final ratings for S1 episodes, this is your last chance! What do you think will be the top and bottom eps of the season?

A thought about the reaction to this season of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds... People who love it are SO MAD that people who don't like it don't like, and people who hate it are SO MAD that people who love it love it. There is something so deeply broken in how we collectively respond to media.

I had the absolute pleasure of joining @alextperry.bsky.social for this week’s episode of Weekly Trek! We discuss the new documentaries headed our way, the rerelease of Trek movies next month, and we even talked a bit about STLV! Check it out and let me know your thoughts on all of this news!✨🖖

Fire the discourse torpedoes, because the long teased puppet episode of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds has arrived. And I’m deeply conflicted about it - in one breath I very much like it, and in another very much dislike it. My case for and against: blog.trekcore.com/2026/08/star...

NEW — The latest WeeklyTrek podcast is here! This week: William Shatner's newest #StarTrek documentary arrives in October, a new season of THE CENTER SEAT is on the way, and more! blog.trekcore.com/2026/08/week...

They don’t really dwell on it but “Genesis” must have been a mass casualty event aboard the Enterprise, surely? You see the one dead crewman but it’s pretty easy to imagine a lot of the devolved crew members killing each other. And yet the ep ends with a LOL Barclay Virus button. #StarTrek

Thrilled to join Alex and the NX-01 crew as Warp Factor 5 cruises to the end of Enterprise S1! From being enmeshed in a gloop beast we travel the long road to the dunes of Toroth, then via Risa, into the 31st century!

New #InfiniteDiversity! @tyranicus.net & @thegoddesslivia.bsky.social talk about the #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds episode, "Human Best Friend" with @alextperry.bsky.social. Listen (& subscribe) here www.spreaker.com/episode/id-2... or wherever your podcasts are served. #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds

I enjoyed season 3 of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds much more than the consensus, and I am always hoping to love every episode of Star Trek I watch. But I hated “Human Best Friend” and I don’t feel good about it. Sorry! My review: blog.trekcore.com/2026/08/star...

I aspire to one day reach this level of aura. #StarTrek

“The Griffin Incident” is #StarTrek’s biggest step into horror in the franchise’s history. I’m not a horror guy, but from how unsettling it was, it seemed like a great horror episode. But I’m not totally sure it was a great episode of Star Trek. My review: blog.trekcore.com/2026/07/star...

NEW EPISODE! 🚨 @slnelson77.bsky.social joins me to discuss the #StarTrek Enterprise S1 episodes Fusion, Rogue Planet, Acquisition, Oasis, and Detained. Featuring the Ferengi, Suliban, and Rene Auberjonois. How does the Ferengi episode land? Listen and find out! blog.trekcore.com/2026/07/warp...

I had SO MUCH FUN with this recording! It was an honor to be chosen for a new pod and I was *genuinely nervous* that I would screw it up! Thank you, Alex for the invite and I hope everyone enjoys this batch of Enterprise.

Great interview w/Chris Fisher, who was on set from Day One through S5 of #SNW as a supervising producer. So much insight into how the production team approached the show. (Amazing to learn he is a full-on 'Niner & his two key mentors in the business are Trek legends Marvin Rush & Merri Howard) #DS9

Absolutely disgraceful that @trekmovie.bsky.social is doing glossy public relations for Alec Peters and Axanar. I am a huge fan of the team over there, but boy does this article miss the fucking mark completely. Fans were conned out of money, plain and simple. trekmovie.com/2026/07/27/a...
