  • Enjoy the show, don’t love the format

    Long time listener, first time reviewer.

    I’ve really enjoyed this show over the last few years. Both hosts give great insight and have good chemistry.

    I have to say— I don’t love the way they go from season to season with Who. It’s like there’s a refusal to ever “catch up to the current”, so they review old Doctor Who episodes for 4-6 months, which I don’t have much interest in.

  • Fantastic way to begin watching trek

    I am a life long Dr Who fan who never saw any Trek other than a movie or two. After seeing ‘strange new worlds’ on a plane and loving it I decided to start from the beginning. This show has been an amazing way to watch TOS and now TNG while also reminiscing about nuwho!

  • A Favorite Hang

    I’m just a moderate fan of the two shows but I really enjoy listening to the hosts discuss them. It’s an enthusiastic and positive way to spend a geeky hour. Some shows are more vibe than information but this one is the perfect balance of each.

  • Exactly What You Want

    It’s two kind and thoughtful people telling each other about things that they love. The only thing better could be if it already had over 100 episodes for you to binge, which it does!

  • Fantastic podcast!

    I am a Doctor Who and Star Trek fan and I’m so glad I found this show. I enjoy hearing the discussions between the two hosts and I frequently get a new perspective on episodes. I love the trivia facts that HT gives about the Doctor Who episodes as well. Can’t wait until you’re back in Jan 2023.

Q: Do you think Final Mission avoids the Tasha Yar curse and gives Wesley a finale he deserves?
Yes, it avoids that curse, but it felt a little anticlimactic compared to other character farewells.
