Trek Talk: Who Would You Worship? Ranking God-like Beings (Part 2)
Luticha André Doucette joined me again on April 30th for part two of our god-like beings Trek Rank. Last time we narrowed down the list. This time we put them through the criteria.
We scored all 13 beings on four criteria: Demands and Expectations, What They Offer in Return, Temperament and Track Record, and The Vibe. The goal was simple — not who is the most powerful, but who you would actually worship.
We went in with our own opinions about who deserves worship — if you’ve watched Trek Talk before, you already know where our allegiances lie. We scored everything honestly anyway.
The Trek Rank itself — the final placement on the Winn-to-Sisko scale — hasn’t been assigned yet. That’s next. Come back May 14th and find out where your favorite god lands.

Trek Talk: Ranking God-like Beings in Star Trek
Luticha André Doucette joined me this week, April 23rd to start building a Trek Rank on god-like and powerful beings across the Star Trek franchise. We went through 14 candidates and scored them across four criteria: Transcendence, Power & Scale, Vulnerability, and Threat to Mortals.
Two beings didn’t make the cut. Armus scored a 13 — real threat, real menace, but too limited in scope. Dehner and Mitchell scored a 14 — they were becoming gods, they weren’t there yet. Both are out.
Five beings hit a perfect 20: Badgey, the Organians, the Metrons, Kevin Uxbridge, and Nagilum. No weaknesses found. No points lost anywhere.
Kes, who we had initially removed from consideration, came back in at the end with an 18.
The rest of the list scored 19s. The ranking itself hasn’t happened yet — we come back next week to finalize criteria.

Trek Talk: Starfleet Panel
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1 wrapped and a panel of trusted Trekkies goes episode by episode through the entire first season and gives each one a Trek Rank — our 1 to 10 scale for judging Star Trek the way it deserves to be judged.
On March 22 the panel of trusted Trekkies: Maiamama-calling up justice, grant-curiosity paradox, Luticha-catalyst consulting associates, and G.J.-one free community gathered to rank the episodes of Star Fleet academy from the sisko to winn. Our Goal was to rank all of the episodes. Number one, the best being the Sisko and the worst being the wind. So, for those who may not know, Sisko is awesome, so obviously, he number one, and Kai Winn being, the most evil of villains in all of Star Trek.
A Trek Rank is exactly what it sounds like: an excuse to get together and judge Star Trek. As true fans, we have a responsibility to be hypercritical. We love this franchise — we’re not here to say certain Star Treks aren’t Star Trek. We’re here to have a real conversation about what each episode did and didn’t do, and put a number on it together.
All 10 episodes. One panel, Two Live stream conversation. Watch the replay below as we chat, argue, and rank the episodes.
The group got nerdy as we reflected on each episode; on how we felt, why we felt that episode ranked the way we ranked it, and had dialogue back and forth when we disagreed. The overall consensus was that SAM is the most lovable character. Everyone loves SAM. It’s not as CW as some will tell you. Several great characters without enough room to grow.
Maiamama, Claudia, and Luticha gushed about how SAM’s hair was allowed to be fully Black and girly by switching up hairstyles, a first for Star Trek. To see what the overall rankings were and to join the discourse, tune into YouTube and Twitch!
