00. Before “Before the Future Came”
Coming soon: a Star Trek podcast about the ideals of the franchise, wandering out-of-order by following a breadcrumb trail of motifs. We love Star Trek and we love much of what it sets out to say about the way the world will be, but we think it often falls short of its goals. We want to talk about that.
The first episode will discuss 1996’s Star Trek: First Contact, the second movie featuring the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. You don’t need to watch it to listen, but if you want to, you can stream it on Paramount+ or find it elsewhere. At the end of each episode, one of us will surprise everyone else with the selection for the next one.
We’d love to hear what you think! You can hail us at onscreen@beforethefuture.space, contact us on social media, or comment on our website at beforethefuture.space.
Before the Future Came is edited by Lucy Arnold, transcribed by Melissa Avery-Weir, and webmavened by Gregory Avery-Weir.
