  • I don’t think they need my review; they made it to DS9.

    Look TNG is my moral core and I bought it on Blu-ray to rewatch along with this podcast. I also got the DVDs of DS9 and Voyager. I will always be a TNG guy, but DS9 is some of the best TV ever made.

  • Makes my day!

    I listen to NST to and from work and these folks always make me laugh!

    Each episode is a summary and commentary of an episode of star trek with a dash of insight into the show’s development and Bits for days. The chemistry between this group of friends is fantastic. Fun to listen to as a two-time TNG rewatcher and excited to listen along as I work through DS9 the first time

  • Has potential, but too much swearing

    The idea of seeing the show through someone’s eyes for the first time is a good one and interesting points are brought up in each episode. The thing that is most off putting to me, however, is the frequency of swearing. I don’t mind swearing every now and then to add emphasis or make a joke, but when it is every other sentence it comes off as lazy and tiresome.
