In 1977, Star Trek returned to television.
The Enterprise was refitted. Starfleet felt bigger and more formal. Familiar faces returned alongside new ones, and the galaxy felt slightly less romantic and a little more complicated.
Hosted by Greg Westlake, The Phase 2 Rewatch treats Star Trek Phase II as the television series it was meant to be. Episode by episode, the show revisits the stories, characters, and production choices of Phase II as it aired in the late seventies,
Each episode begins with a detailed story summary, followed by informed, opinionated commentary from the perspective of a lifelong TOS. fan. Along the way, the podcast explores character arcs, bridge dynamics, behind-the-scenes television realities, and how Phase II tried to move Star Trek forward while still carrying its past.
This is not a pitch, a thought experiment, or a nostalgia tour. It’s a rewatch.

Star Trek Phase II launches with a restrained, thoughtful premiere that reintroduces the Enterprise and quietly resets the rules of the galaxy.
While investigating the unexplained destruction of Federation probes near Klingon space, Captain Kirk and his crew encounter a massive artificial intelligence attempting to understand humanity by studying it directly. As the situation escalates, Kirk must find a way to resolve the crisis without turning curiosity into catastrophe.
In this episode of The Phase Two Rewatch, Greg Westlake breaks down the new ship, the redesigned bridge, and the reconfigured crew. With Spock gone and a younger Vulcan named Xon at science, Will Decker positioned firmly at Kirk’s side, and Ilia introduced as a Deltan navigator, Phase II reveals itself as something more transitional than nostalgic.
Original air date: Friday, September 16, 1977
