Punch It 103 - Voyage Into Darkness
February 14, 2019

Punch It 102 - Voyager: The Next Generation
February 07, 2019

What if Star Trek 09 had the cast of Voyager instead? This is a way out there idea that was a lot of fun to talk about. The concept is simple and followed the same idea as last week. Take a Star Trek movie and replace the crew from another show....

Punch It 101 - Whales? Make It So
January 24, 2019

What if Star Trek The Voyage Home was a Next Gen movie? We love our “what ifs” on Punch It: Writing in #StarTrek so we asked ourselves the above question. Star Trek IV is a movie beloved by millions and is instantly recognizable. Even non-Star Trek...

Punch It 96 - Daily Life
December 06, 2018

Punch It 95 - Kes Forever
November 29, 2018

What if Kes stayed for all seven seasons of Star Trek: Voyager? No Seven of Nine, no writing off Kes. What if she stayed and finished the entire run of the show? This is something that we're sure many a Star Trek: Voyager fan has pondered. We...
