Far Beyond the Stars, one of the most celebrated episodes in the Star Trek franchise, was written by one of the most creative, thought-provoking, and prolific tv science fiction writers of our time, Marc Scott Zicree. The Sistas sat down with Marc to talk about how the then controversial Deep Space Nine episode made it to the screen, why Avery Brooks had to direct it, and the efforts of the cast and crew to make it as authentic as possible.

It's 'Science with Mohamed' as the Sistas get the answers to those questions you've been dying to ask. The episodes "Distant Origin" and "Lineage" from Voyager, and "Masterpiece Society" and "Up the Long Ladder" from TNG come up in this conversation. But as we delve into that whale movie and any season of Discovery it becomes science 2.0. Dr. Noor debunks a Sista's "in the year 2525" theory, explains the difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering, and confirms that if there one

024 - Interview with the Andorian: Noah Averbach-Katz

SyFy Sistas ·

2021/11/05

It happened in Vegas, and we are going to spill the tea. The SyFy Sistas have never laughed as hard as we did with everyone's favorite Discovery Season 3 cast member, Noah Averbach-Katz. The Son of Rachelle, while living a Trekkie's ultimate dream, earned his spot on the cast with his Julliard training, those super expressive eyes, and some good old-fashioned schmoozing. Noah gets silly and serious, and even makes a 'beta-canon logical' call on a burning question. We give a special shout out to our

2021/10/29

This week the SyFy Sistas look at the thirteen Star Trek films to see how Black actors have fared in them. We rate the TOS crew, the TNG crew, and the Kelvin crew on inclusion. With the help of a repurposed Bechdel-Wallace type test (which gauges how women fare in films) that we call the SyFy Sistas Cultural Inclusion Checklist we hold these films up to their own IDIC imbued mirror. But it’s not all “a day in diversity training”, we select personal favorites (come on, it’s got to be the one with

2021/10/22

It’s our first Trek Geeks Crossover Show with the Divine Treasury. The fun we have with our Fandom Friday social media posts on the Muthaship group page made the Sistas curious about collecting. So, we decided to go to the pros, Mike Bovia and Jamie Rogers, host of our sister show The Divine Treasury, for an overview on collecting. Jamie gives us critical intel on how to start (go with your passion), where to go for valuations (eBay is your friend), and how to take care of your hoard (don’t skimp)
