  • This is a great show

    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.

  • And so it begins

    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.

  • Real refreshing

    Love to listen to u all go off on tangents, I love DS9. And how all of u can see different sides of what I see. These guys and ladies are real people with real opinions. Their opinions are their own and if u like to hear what others think in all of their glory then this is for u. Keep going everyone, I can’t wait for the next episode!

  • Loving the podcast including the chit chat,

    I’m really enjoying the show,the mix of opinions is really entertaining and I’m sure it will be part of any rewatch. I also enjoy listening to the non show chat, it makes it feel like a community and it’s this that will keep me listening through the more boring episodes ( not that there are too many of those of course!) keep up the good work!
