I found this group when they were doing a show similar to this about Babylon 5. When they moved on to my favorite Trek show I knew I had to listen. I look forward to a new episode every week. I cried with them when Scott passed away. You guys are amazing! The show keeps me entertained and makes me laugh. They are still in season 2 at this point and I'm looking forward to the upcoming seasons.
I love this group of friends discussing an old television show. They are hilarious and crazy at the same time.
This is a great show!
Very good reviews and analysis on of the best shows out there, especially if you like science fiction. While they do tend to go off the rails like that’s the goal, it’s worth the ride. The passengers all survive! Good insights, good trivia, good listen.
Bittersweet. Not the best episode of DS9 but so happy the commentary is back. The new mix seems good as possible. Damn you Scott for leaving us too soon. To the rest thank you for carrying on.
I love this group! Funny, inane, thought provoking, and just plane out awesome!!
I’ve been listening to this podcast since Grey 17.
Ds 9 has been ok, but not nearly as much Vegemite in the sandwich as B5.
But Scott, I’ll believe you that it gets better, only because you were 100% right about the b5 sandwich episode.
I would like to add the word sandwich more in this review but cannot figure out how!!
But you guys rock and thank you for the hours and hours of this delicious content sandwich.
