The show features a four-person main cast of Quiz Master (Continuum Trek, who voices Captain Conti in the animations) and Score Keeper (Professor Brainy Specs, who voices Admiral Brains in the animations); plus two Team Captains (TrekCatCatCat and Starfleet Boy in season 1, Scarlet Trekkie and Zoë Kirk-Robinson in season 2). Each week the teams are bolstered by a guest contestant; usually a Star Trek fan from the Question of Trek audience, but occasionally one or more guests will be a prominent member of the [=YouTube=] Star Trek community.

There are five rounds in each episode: a round of single answer questions, a round of two answer questions, a "guess the person/ship" round (which the audience fondly refers to as "Pixellated Rikers" after one notable instance where the image to guess wasn't obscured enough to make it a challenge), a round where the teams ask each other questions, and finally a round where the teams ask the Quiz Master a question. If the scores are close at the end of the episode, members of the audience get to ask tie-breaker questions.

The show is heavy on audience interaction and is more interested in banter than actually determining a winner.

* TakeThat: Zoë's "Computer, end franchise!" line while discussing ''Enterprise'' taking new ''Star Trek'' off the air for a decade.
* UnexpectedlyObscureAnswer: Oh so, so many. It's a quiz that actively embraces ''Star Trek'' minutiae, after all. There are some very specific instances, however.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Whenever it's time for the round where quiz master Continuum Trek has to answer questions instead of ask them, he will invariably try to end the show early by declaring the quiz is over and thank everyone for watching.
Also, Zoë's "Unearned points!" cheer whenever Continuum Trek gets her team's name wrong; earning the team a bonus point.

* AuthorAppeal: Scarlet Trekkie's love of ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' comes up rather a lot.
* BerserkButton: Don't try to tell Admiral Brainy Specs that ''[[Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock Star Trek III]]'' is based on, or a sequel to, ''Spock's Brain''. Similarly, Zoë will "fight you" if you try to claim the canon [[VideoGame/StarTrekOnline Enterprise-F]] isn't an Odyssey-class ship.



* TheCameo: [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Dr Zoidberg]] is helping in sick bay during the second intro cartoon. In the same episode, two of the team captains from series one are on the bridge.

'''''A Question of Trek''''' is a comedy panel show, as the title suggests, about ''[[Franchise/StarTrek Star Trek]]''. Made by fans, it broadcasts live on YouTube every Saturday night.

In its first season, the show was solely a comedy panel show with a rotating cast of guest panellists accompanying two team captains. After their introduction in episode 8 of season two however, the show now opens with an animated sketch comedy cartoon by way of introduction.
