  Aug 24, 20261h 10mS2

Engage(!) with us: Email – beyondffpod@gmail.com | Instagram – @beyondffpod | Facebook – /BFF: Beyond The Final Frontier Expect a debate about a season that's swinging big on gimmicks but not always on story, a horror episode that splits the room down the middle, an argument over whether the supernatural belongs in Trek at all, some free film-studies lecturing from Rich, and scores that get revised live on air.

  BFF#40: Top 7 Star Trek TV Directors Ranked!

  Aug 17, 20261h 3m

  This week on Beyond the Final Frontier: Rich, Ian and Toby step behind the camera to rank their Top 7 directors of Star Trek TV episodes – and one of them spends the entire episode racked with guilt over the stone-cold legend he left off his list (only for another host to crown that very man his number one)! Engage(!) with us: Email – beyondffpod@gmail.com | Instagram – @beyondffpod | Facebook – /BFF: Beyond The Final Frontier Expect animated series to be ruled out on a technicality, a suspicious surplus of white men (it was the 80s), trailblazer Gabrielle Beaumont, the myth of "two takes Frakes", a director so mysterious the internet has little record of him, and a spooky three-way tie at number three. Plus: Ian's mortifying tape-recorder disaster on the set of The Masterpiece Society, why Aaron Spelling is (probably) no relation, and the director who married his third wife at 90. Let us know what we got right, what we got wrong, and who we criminally left out! Don't forget to like, rate and subscribe!
