The 7th Rule Story

The 7th Rule show started in January of 2019 when Aron Eisenberg ("Nog" on Deep Space Nine) recruited Cirroc Lofton ("Jake Sisko" on Deep Space Nine) to do a DS9 review podcast -- JAKE AND NOG TOGETHER AGAIN! 

Heartbreakingly, Aron passed away in September of 2019. Cirroc and Ryan decided the show must go on and, with Aron's widow, Malissa Longo's blessing and participation, continued Aron's vision and legacy. 

Since then, The 7th Rule has not only reviewed and discussed every single DS9 episode, but also covers ALL of the new Star Trek series, interviews tons of Star Trek guests, and co-hosts the wildly successful and innovative Virtual Trek Con.

The 7th Rule: The Next Generation

We are closing the book on Deep Space Nine in November and December of 2022. Once that is completed, the legendary, DENISE CROSBY ("Tasha Yar" on TNG), will be joining us as we venture into The Next Generation! Denise will be joining the show for the entirety of the Tasha Yar Era! (That is the first 22 episodes of our journey through TNG!)

We truly could not be more thrilled to have her. 

Our Shows

The 7th Rule -- The Next Generation. Once we close the book on DS9, we will have 200 episodes of our flagship weekly show. On January 1st, 2023, we will premiere episode #201, as we venture into The Next Generation, reviewing and discussing every single episode, one by one -- and you never know which special guests will join in the fun along the way!

The 7th Rule 2 -- All new Star Trek series. Our second show is a series in which we review and discuss every single new Star Trek episode on the exact day that it is released! That's Picard, Prodigy, Discovery, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds -- and we are joined by tons of amazing special guests!

Deep Space Nine Deep Dives -- We will be going back, once a month, to do a full Deep Space Nine deep dive, starting with episode one, "Emissary." This gives you the opportunity to join us back at the very beginning of the show, and it gives us a chance to dig deeper into the show with guests, trivia, and insights that we didn't have the means to cover during our show's infancy.

Captain Nog Forever -- We've also got an interview series with 47 episodes in which we talk about our brother, Aron Eisenberg, Nog, Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek in general.

Virtual Trek Con -- Lastly, we've got tons of interviews and panels with scores of Star Trek guests for our Virtual Star Trek and science fiction convention, Virtual Trek Con. 

Why the Indiegogo Campaign?

We are launching this campaign for two reasons:

1. To expand the breadth and output our show, as well as launch us into The Next Generation era.

2. To raise awareness, involve new fans, and expand the reach of this show. So even if you can only donate one dollar and help us spread the word, mission accomplished! 

Here is more information on some of the perks:

Commander - One Month:

At this level, you are an official Associate Producer and will be credited as such in the episodes' credits as well as the description of the videos and audio podcasts. 

You'll be mentioned in the videos and audio podcasts, and credited as an ASSOCIATE PRODUCER on IMDb for every episode released that month (generally 8-10 episodes), AND credited on our social media. Also, 25% unlimited items in our online store and we'll follow you on our social media accounts!

Lastly, you will have access to join us for our Free For All segments at the end of every TNG episode we review that month! We record every week, so that would be 4-5 episodes. (Oftentimes, we give you a choice between two options that week -- a TNG episode or a new Star Trek episode!) In these Free For All segments, we first discuss the Star Trek news of the week and tell you what's going on with our shows - guests we are bringing on, future plans, things in the works, etc.. After that, we hit record and you join us in the discussion about the episode we are reviewing that week, or just discuss fun and interesting Star Trek topics. 

*If you just want to join us for the first part of the FFA - and not be on camera for the second part -- no problem, it's totally up to you! 

**We give advanced notice as to what day/time we will be meeting for the weekly FFA segments.

Commander - One Year:

This perk level includes everything in the "Commander - One Month level," but for a year. There is a significant discount when you claim the full year. 

The Executive Producer:

At this executive level, you'll receive all of the perks of the "Commander" Associate Producer levels above for a year, but all the credits are upgraded to EXECUTIVE PRODUCER. Plus access to all of the Free For All segments (this includes any extra ones we might do), prior meetings, monthly Round Tables, an exclusive T7R Executive Producer shirt, quarterly personal virtual meetings (or via email if you prefer), to catch you up on everything we're doing with the show, 25% off unlimited items in our online store, and co-host multiple episodes!

Lastly, come have lunch (or dinner) with us - on us! The T7R team will meet up with you for a good time at a local LA restaurant to talk about life, the show, Star Trek, sports - whatever you want! You can even bring a friend if you'd like! 

*Travel and lodging not included.

**Must be in the LA area (or at an event/convention we are attending) to redeem.
