I'm Eleanor Brittany, and welcome to the June 21 2024 edition of The TrekConvention Podcast's Five Trek Headlines to Watch. The TrekConvention podcast where I highlight five Trek Headlines you may have missed. 

Let's get right to it

Number One:
Weaving old and new Trek is always a fan favourite. But what happens when a fresh character is left behind? SYFY’s feature “Why Alice Eve’s Carol Marcus Didn’t Return in Star Trek Beyond,” explains this returned, and then removed, character. 

Number Two:
Trek fans love Nog almost as much as they love Aron Eisenberg. In the article “Star Trek Confirms Nog's Post-Dominion War Fate,” ScreenRant answers all our burning Nog related questions. And I for one now have closure. 

Number Three: 
‘I'm Glad Star Trek Is Showing More Love To Scott Bakula’s Enterprise.” And that’s not just me. ScreenRant’s feature article “I’m Glad Star Trek is Showing More Love to Scott Bakula’s Enterprise” agrees. 

Number Four: 
Giant Freakin’ Robot reports that “Star Trek's Best Director Hated His First Episode.” And all I can say is, Nagilum. 

And finally, Number Five:
If you thought Kate Mulgrew was the first and only Captain of the USS Voyager, you need to read SlashFilm’s detailed history of the short-lived captaincy of Nicole Janeway in their article “Star Trek's Original Janeway Actress Lasted Less Than Two Days On The Show.”

And that's all for this episode of the TrekConvention Podcast's 5 Trek Headlines to Watch. 

You can find all these articles and the latest updates at TrekConvention.com and, of course, at TrekHeadlines.com. 

I'm Eleanor Brittany. Be sure to check back next week for five more to watch.
