On Wednesday, Cirroc Lofton's Star Trek show, The 7th Rule, announced that they are uniting with Denise Crosby to review every episode in which Crosby's character "Tasha Yar" appeared. In a video from The 7th Rule's YouTube channel , Crosby states that she has never before gone though and watched her Next Generation episodes which ran from 1987 to 1988, until she came back in a few episodes of subsequent seasons. 35 years later, this will be her first full TNG viewing experience. The 7th Rule is a bi-weekly video podcast in which Lofton, producer Ryan T. Husk, and dozens of Star Trek cast and crew review and discuss Star Trek episodes, one by one. The show was created by the late Aron Eisenberg, Cirroc's consistent DS9 scene partner when they were known as "Jake Sisko" and "Nog."
With just a handful of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes left to review, The Show That Jake and Nog Built is left with an existential decision -- what's next? There have been no shortage of guesses and suggestions from the fanbase, but The 7th Rule team has never said -- or even insinuated -- that there will be anything next.
Cirroc Lofton (Deep Space Nine's "Jake Sisko"), Ryan T. Husk, Malissa Longo, and their many Star Trek guests revisit and discuss DS9 episode every week on The 7th Rule. Today marks the public premiere of their first episode of Season Seven, in which they review episode one, "Image in the Sand." This is the perfect time to join their DS9 journey, as this final season promises to have the most guests - producer, actors, writers, and professionals of all types. The live premiere is today at 6pm PT / 9pm ET. Watch it and join their live chat by clicking the button below.
Tuesday, May 31st, 2022 saw the launch of the newly remastered episodes of The 7th Rule - A Star Trek Podcast. This brainchild of the late Aron Eisenberg brought Deep Space Nine characters, Jake Sisko (Cirroc Lofton) and Nog (Aron Eisenberg), back together again - with the intent to revisit the series from the perspective of the two Star Trek alumni. The 7th Rule, produced and hosted by Ryan T Husk, has been a labor of love from its inception. Lofton and Husk took on the daunting task of maintaining and expanding the show since the untimely passing of Aron in September of 2019.
On Monday night's episode of The 7th Rule podcast , actor William Sadler suddenly popped into the live chat while Cirroc Lofton and Ryan T. Husk were reviewing Deep Space Nine's sixth season episode, "Inquisition." Star Trek fans will recall this is the episode in which "Sloan" -- played by Sadler -- eventually reveals to Julian Bashir (and the audience) the existence of a secret group known as Section 31 and tries to recruit the good doctor into it. Mr. Sadler joined the live chat (the discussion bar on the right of the YouTube screen that allows viewers to have a live chat while the video is premiering) about midway into the review and was very quickly noticed by the fans. Mr. Sadler was very friendly and engaging with everyone. The viewers asked him various questions, including whether he'd be willing to reprise his role in the new Star Trek: Section 31 series being developed for Paramount+. His response is below.

Over the past several weeks, the Facebook group, The Andorian Memeing Consortium, conducted a tournament called, “Greatest Recurring Character on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” Each pairing would garner votes for 48 hours via Facebook reaction emojis. The winner in each bracket would then proceed to the next round. The competition was fierce and the choices were often very difficult. Nog’s rise to the victor’s seat began in a battle with the head of the Klingon Empire, Gowron. What was to follow for the ambitious young Ferengi would be some choices occurring within our favorite Ferengi family. Nog’s own father, Rom, would be his next challenger. An impossible choice to be sure, as both characters are beautiful and beloved staples of the show.
On The 7th Rule Podcast this past Thursday, Deep Space Nine's Jake Sisko, Cirroc Lofton, told Star Trek Prodigy's writer/producer, Aaron J. Waltke, that the animated show's most recent episode, "Kobayashi," is "the best new episode of Star Trek" he's ever seen. Waltke was visibly moved by the sentiment and discussed how difficult the episode was to make as well as how important Star Trek is to him throughout the podcast which included the voice actress that portrays the ship's computer, Bonnie Gordon, and the show's co-host and producer, Ryan T. Husk. The clip of Cirroc's big proclamation and Aaron's subsequent reaction can be viewed here:
