It’s Bill from TrekConvention with the September Friday the 13th 2024 edition of TrekHeadlines five two Watch. The TrekConvention podcast where I highlight five Trek Headlines you may have missed. 

So-let's get to it!

Number One:
I hope your Star Trek Day celebrations were festive and in case you forgot to purchase any Star Trek Day merch, Star Trek dot com has you covered with their Star Trek Day 2024 Product Guide - So - much - gift merch!

Number Two:
In case you're not in the Star Trek day mood - Giant Freakin Robot's article "Star Trek Day Gives Fans Plenty of Reasons To Celebrate, might be just the reminder you need to get back in the spirit. 

Number Three: 
No one likes to think about the long dark tunnel waiting for us all but Giant Freakin Robot reports that, “Acclaimed Trek, Director Is Blunt About His Own Obituary." And it's a bit refreshing. 

Number Four: 
If you're new to the history of Star Trek, you may have asked yourself 'Why Was Jeffrey Hunter Replaced With William Shatner?" And thanks to Game Rant’s featured article you now have the answer. 

And finally, Number Five:
And as we've pointed out many times before, the Internet thrives on rank lists - and so do we. To satisfy your thirst head over to SlashFilm for "Leonard Nimoy's 5 Best Movie & TV Roles Outside Of Star Trek, Ranked."

That's all for this Friday the 13th episode.
In the coming weeks you'll find the TrekHeadlines five two Watch will have it's own Podcast channel. -
