  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
