This episode of the Beacons Are Lit covers season 1 episode 8 of the Rings of Power titled “Alloyed.” The Sauron / Stranger guessing game is mostly at an end and, in the words of Dennis Green, “They are who we thought they were” … for the most part. Earion likes to do drorings, Celebrimbor lied on his resume, Galadriel tells Middle-Earth the new rings are Nenya business, the King dies but not before spilling some tea, Miriel and Elendil are in step with each other, the Stranger shows off for the Harfoots before hitting the bricks with Nori, and Halbrand simply walks into Mordor.

Lower Decks S05E09 & 10

It’s time for one last trip through the Lower Decks! In this huge momentous episode of The Prime Subjective, Chris Newcomer, Karie Coleman-Hinners and Michael Henley go for one last ride on the Cerritos as we discuss Lower Decks Season 5 Episode 9 – “Fissure Quest”, and Lower Decks Season 5 Episode 10 (and series finale!) – “The New Next Generation.” We discuss Bashir/Garak, multiverses, unexpected guest stars, and ultimately close the book on Lower Decks and determine the exact flavor of its delightful, nutty legacy.

Star Trek: Section 31

It’s time for a Star Trek movie event! In this episode of The Prime Subjective, Chris Newcomer, Karie Coelman Hinners and Michael Henley take a break from the end of Lower Decks to discuss Section 31, the new Paramount Plus original Star Trek movie starring Michelle Yeoh. In this episode we discuss this would-be TV series turned into a movie…featuring Emperor Georgiou, Quasi, Zeph…and Rachel Garrett? It’s not quite a TV pilot, not quite a feature film, but it is definitely a fun discussion regarding this divisive latest entry in the Trek family.
