About Warp Factor 5

Warp Factor 5 is a Star Trek rewatch podcast covering the entire Star Trek franchise in chronological, in-universe order, five episodes at a time. Twice a month, host Alex Perry is joined by a guest to review and discuss the next five episodes of Star Trek, exploring over 60 years of rich, connected storytelling from the earliest days of the NX-01 to the far future of the 32nd century. From Star Trek: Enterprise and Discovery through Strange New Worlds, The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Lower Decks, Prodigy, Picard, and Starfleet Academy, Warp Factor Five gives you a new way to rewatch and enjoy the Star Trek franchise. Happy 60th anniversary!

On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore's news podcast, host Alex Perry reflects on the recent news that Amazon Studios has canceled the Stargate revival show they announced late last year, before filming even started, out of concerns that it would only appeal to the built in fanbase and not expand the franchise's appeal. What does that have to do with Star Trek? Alex thinks there's a vibe shift underway for legacy franchises with bult in fanbases, and you'll either hear thoughtful commentary on the current state of Star Trek or the beginning of a midlife crisis playing out in real time. Let me know which!
