Originally released on November 26, 2022

Listen to the show :

We wrap our arms around... well, uh, we get our hands on... nope, that doesn't work either. Well, we set our sights on identifying the Top 5 Non-Corporeal Aliens on this week's new TrekRanks Podcast! Nailed it. They are known by many monikers through 50-plus years of Star Trek in (incorporeal, non-physical, formless, even trans-dimensional), but one thing is for sure: non-corporeal aliens have been a staple of Star Trek forever. Our panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Claire Little and Paul Edinger consume it all in this fun, classic topic.

Episode Rundown:

• Level One Diagnostic Cycle: A quick breakdown of the different ways in which non-corporeal aliens have been portrayed on Star Trek.

• Prime Directive: Our panel gets quite detailed in their Prime Directives, coming at their picks from many different directions.

• The Order of Things: Everyone reveals their picks with the usual "Five words and a hashtag" summary, along with one episode showcases their alien selection.

• Secondary Systems: Everyone rattles off a few additional selections for the picks that just missed our li

• Regeneration Cycle: Everyone recaps their non-corporeal picks and discuss some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion.

• Temporal Distortion: We flashback to Episode 140 of TrekRanks and relay some of the great feedback we received from our TNG Underrated episode.
