The Star Trek 50th Anniversary Rewatch. Over the course of 50 years, Star Trek has brought us 729 adventures from the final frontier. That’s counting Star Trek Beyond, which will arrive during the anniversary year. To rewatch them all is a serious undertaking … but that’s just what we’re doing. To celebrate the golden anniversary, the hosts of Trek.fm will take you through two installments of Star Trek each day—every day—for an entire year. In this episode of Hyperchannel, we introduce the project and how it will refresh you on half a century of missions, helping tie all the strings together to enrich your Star Trek experience.

The Loss of Star Trek’s Longtime Archivist. When we watch the Star Trek films and episodes, a lot of the props go by unnoticed—they've become such a part of a universe that feels real to us. But there are so many props involved in producing a single story—to say nothing of the franchise as a whole—and someone has to keep track of it all. For many years, Penny Juday did just that. Sadly, she passed away on December 19 of colon and liver cancer at the young age of 60. We take a moment to look back at her contributions to Trek. Host Production |

IDW’s Starfleet Academy Series. Speculation has been around for ages about a Starfleet Academy series. And with Star Trek heading back to television in 2017, could IDW’s new comic series, Starfleet Academy, be the harbinger of CBS’s plans?

Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage. One of the most wonderful—and perhaps underappreciated—aspects of Star Trek is the music.

Aron Eisenberg’s Donor and Funding. We all come to love the characters on Star Trek and the actors who portray them, but we sometimes forget that they are regular people just like us. As such, they deal with the same problems that we do. Earlier this year, Aron Eisenberg, DS9’s Nog, suffered kidney failure. Fortunately a donor has been found and an operation is imminent. But that’s just the beginning. We share Aron’s story as well as how you can help him recover. Visit the Aron’s Kidney GoFundMe page: Host Production |

We share our experiences with the format and why this is very welcome news. Host Production |

Breaking Down Our First Look at the Next Film. Paramount, Skydance, and Bad Robot have teased us with some glimpses of the next Star Trek film in the form of a trailer designed to run before Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Complaint generator … ENGAGE! Reaction has been mixed, and the negative voices have, as usual, been the loudest. But if you dig deeply into what we’ve been shown, you can find a number of very intriguing elements that hint at a story that’s more TOS than anything we’ve gotten so far. Of course, it doesn’t seem that way on the surface. In this episode of Hyperchannel, we toss aside ship and crew and hop onto our motorcycle to ride—no jump— into the heart of the Star Trek Beyond trailer. Host Production |

StarTrek.com’s recent sharing of a TNG promo video—still in shrink wrap—brought back so many memories. Join us for a stroll down VHS Memory Lane. Host Production |

2016 Projects for Voyager’s Dawson. We all know that Dawson began her move from acting to directing while still on Voyager, where she directed "Riddles" and "Workforce, Part II."

Over the past decade and a half, she’s helmed episodes of some of the biggest shows around. 2016 will be no different. We take a look at three big projects being added to Roxann’s resume.
