Season 10, Episode 11 (April 12, 2026): Its a sad day in Star Trek
In this episode, KJ the Comic Guy and Security Dan dive into a wide‑ranging mix of fandom news, art experiences, sci‑fi updates, and real‑world spaceflight excitement.
The hosts open with a brief acknowledgment of the passing of Game of Thrones background actor Michael Patrick, reflecting on motor neuron diseases and their impact.
From there, Dan shares his visit to The Art of the Brick LEGO exhibition in Toronto—highlighting Nathan Sawaya’s sculptures, the stunning LEGO recreations of classic art, and the unexpected crossover with the nearby immersive Monet experience. They compare immersive art installations, discuss how these exhibits blend technology and storytelling, and reminisce about the D&D interactive experience from last year.
In sci‑fi news, the duo covers the latest from the Star Wars universe, including the shutdown of post‑sequel trilogy plans, the firm “no” on Mara Jade, and the ongoing success of the Maul series. They also touch on Doctor Who April Fool’s chaos, Big Finish productions, and the evolving legacy of various Doctors.
Convention chatter includes early Fan Expo Canada guest announcements—featuring the Hobbits, Alan Ritchson, and Colin O’Donoghue.
The tone shifts as they discuss the disappointing confirmation that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds sets are being dismantled. They reflect on the politics behind Paramount’s decisions, the loss of a beloved modern Trek series, and the hope that key set pieces (like Pike’s chair!) find a respectful home.
The episode closes on a heartfelt high note: the emotional rollercoaster of following the Artemis II crew. KJ and Dan talk about the joy, humanity, and hope sparked by Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canada’s own Jeremy Hansen as they completed their mission. From hijinks in space to splashdown nostalgia, the hosts reflect on how this moment rekindles the spirit of exploration.
As always, they wrap with community links, upcoming schedule notes, and a reminder to join them again in two weeks.
