There has never been a better time to be a fan of Star Trek, which is impressive, considering the franchise is nearly 60 years old. Along with a third wave of new series — Star Trek: Discovery, Lower Decks, Picard, Strange New Worlds, Prodigy and others in development — there are a number of Star Trek-themed podcasts featuring people who worked on the second wave series. One of these, The 7th Rule, is extending a hand back through time to Star Trek: The Original Series icon, Walter Koenig. The man who brought Pavel Chekov to life will rewatch the series and, finally, tell his story on his terms.The 7th Rule is co-hosted by Ryan T. Husk and Cirroc Lofton, who played Jake Sisko on Deep Space Nine. They’ve rewatched DS9, the first few seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation and watch and review episodes of new shows as they debut. They join other Star Trek alums like Garrett Wang and Robert Duncan McNeill, who rewatched their series, Voyager, on a podcast called The Delta Flyers. Similarly, Connor Trineer and Dominic Keating are hosting The Shuttle Pod Show, featuring in-depth conversations with actors, writers and even line producers like Lola Fatjo or Merri Howard. In the rare downtime between new episodes of Star Trek shows, fans can revisit old series and then listen along to behind-the-scenes stories on these shows. The making of the Rick Berman-era series was already well documented, but these shows enrich that history and highlight important players fans never noticed before. This is something Star Trek: TOS era actors never had, at least until now. The 7th Rule has a funding campaign going to finance its next “season,” including a rewatch podcast with Walter Koenig reviewing The Original Series. At 87 years old, Koenig is well known for being frank and honest about his ups and downs in Gene Roddenberry’s universe.While this might seem like empty fan service or a crowd-funding cash-grab, these shows enrich audiences’ appreciation for these series. They also record important details and history that might otherwise be lost to time. The Shuttlepod Show, for example, plays host to many famous on-screen faces from the franchise. Yet, they also featured in-depth interviews with visual effects wizard Ronald B. Moore, iconic makeup and prosthetics artist Michael Westmore, and the design legends who gave Star Trek its look.
