This week on Yesterday’s Star Trek, Mike and Tyler kick off Season 3 of Deep Space Nine with Episodes 1–3, and the show wastes absolutely no time shifting gears. In “The Search, Parts 1 & 2,” the Federation rolls out the Defiant, Sisko goes founder-hunting in the Gamma Quadrant, and DS9 dives headfirst into paranoia, power plays, and the uncomfortable reality that peace might already be lost. Then, just when things couldn’t get heavier, “The House of Quark” swerves hard into Klingon politics, honor culture, and one deeply inconvenient marriage.

Tyler and Mike kick off For Your Consideration by revisiting Star Trek: The Motion Picture, slow, strange, and undeniably ambitious. This episode introduces a long-term project: reviewing all 13 Star Trek films and nominating them in original, Trek-specific award categories to determine which entries truly deserve top honours in the franchise canon.

For our final episode of 2025, we answer fan questions we left behind, mainly about our music bracket episode. We also discuss what 2026 will bring as we look at finishing Deep Space Nine for Tyler, a new trek with Starfleet Academy and a fourth season of Strange New Worlds...we reflect, look forward and discuss some new and old Star Trek.

For a festive special, Tyler and Mike discuss how they would convince certain people that select Star Trek films are Christmas movies!

This week, Tyler and Mike put all the openings of every Star Trek series into a bracket and find out which one comes out as champion! Thanks to some cast feedback, we decided to include all the Star Trek series as we go from 11 to 1!

We're back with another edition of I Can't Believe It's Not Star Trek! Tyler and Mike discuss The Martian, based on the novel by Andy Weir, reviewing the movie and discussing the Star Trek elements within the film.

This week, Mike and Tyler close out Season 2 of Deep Space Nine with Episodes 25–26, and the stakes are higher than ever. In "Tribunal," Chief O’Brien finds himself swept into the cold machinery of the Cardassian justice system… where guilt is just a formality. Then, in "The Jem’Hadar," a quiet camping trip spirals into a dangerous first encounter with the Dominion’s ruthless soldiers. As the quadrant shifts into a new era of conflict, the guys break down courtroom dread, Quark’s survival instincts, and just how looming the Dominion threat really feels. Stay tuned, because the Gamma Quadrant is about to get a whole lot scarier.

This week, Mike and Tyler head back to the darker corners of the Bajoran wormhole for a dive into Deep Space Nine Season 2, Episodes 22–24. From Garak’s mysterious brain implant in “The Wire,” to a hostile trip into the mirror universe in “Crossover,” and finally the political intrigue surrounding the election of a new Kai in “The Collaborator,” the station is not short on drama. The guys unpack conspiracies, alternate realities, and just how many secrets one tailor can reasonably keep.
