    Open Pike FRIGHT! - Halloween Special 2025

    It’s a Halloween variety show, Open Pike style! 🎃

    First, the crew beams down to discuss Star Trek: The Original Series classic “Catspaw”—a spooky, campy delight filled with cobwebs, castles, and that darn cat. Not to mention one of the best puns in Star Trek history!

    Then, Strange New Worlds writers Alan B. McElroy (“Terrarium”) and Kathryn Lyn (“What is Starfleet”) return for a Horror Trope Roundtable! We each share our favorite: Zombies, Horror Icons, Survivors, Endings, and Unsung Gems. Plus we talk The Shining trauma, loving happy endings (but never picking them), movie swaps with new partners, casting regrets, and first spec scripts.

    Strange New WORDS - "A Space Adventure Hour" with Dana Horgan & Kathryn Lyn

    Writers Dana Horgan and Kathryn Lyn beam into Strange New Words to break down Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S3E4, “A Space Adventure Hour.” This belated chat was worth the wait—as chaotically joyous as a holodeck episode!

    We swap stories about the show’s “sorcerer” set dressers, lose it laughing over Una’s choking gag, and dig into how the episode plays with pulp tropes while tidying up a bit of canon along the way. Plus: writing comedy that still feels like Trek, character secrets hiding in plain sight, and why this romp needed just the right tone to land.

    If you love behind-the-scenes craft, canon talk, and a lot of giggles, this one’s for you. Subscribe and follow for more Strange New Worlds deep dives!
