- I love these guys!
I just discovered this podcast a few weeks ago when I went looking for some new Star Trek podcasts I hadn't listened to yet. The name intrigued me, especially since I love Garrick. The mix of what I'm calling Junior and Senior Officers is great and every episode they make me laugh. As of writing this I am listening to them discuss the TOS ep Mirror Mirror. At the rate I'm going (being able to listen to whatever I want at work helps!) I should be caught up in a couple more weeks. I am enjoying... more

United States2 months ago - Great (and hilarious) review show of Deep Space 9!
Finally getting around to writing a review! I started with this group listening to their Grey 17 Babylon 5 show, and when that finished I was so glad they decided to continue and review DS9. I grew up on TNG, and have only seen parts of DS9, although I do know most of what happens, and they’re inspiring me to finally watch it through myself.
This show reliably makes me laugh and makes me think. They often go off the rails, but that’s all part of the fun! The mix of newbies and long time fans m... more

Canada7 months ago - Love the show; love the people
Been following the antics of this group of people since the start of the podcast discussing Star Trek Deep Space 9. I found them when I was doing my own rewatch of Babylon 5, another incredible show, found Grey 17 and saw they were a few episodes behind me. Followed along, and came over when they started this series.
Through thick and thin; through fortune and devastating loss.
I miss Scott.
Their combination of newbies (even new to the genre) and Prophets makes the reviews fresh and the disc... more

Netherlands9 months ago - Love this show
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.
