“I now give this show 5 stars instead of 4, mostly because these guys get what makes Star Trek “Star Trek.” This show has consistently provided valuable behind the scenes insight into the production of Star Trek and has provided countless hours of entertainment. While my original review mostly holds up, they’ve gotten better in their discussion of Star Trek beyond DS9. Their holiday specials are the stuff of legend.
Original Review: 4 Stars for the Show. I really like this show, but it’s unfortunate that they can’t get past TOS at times. In a recent episode they invited Roger Lay to talk about the TNG remaster and they probably devoted 10 minutes of the hour to actually talking TNG while it was mostly talking about TOS and the Roddenberry Vault. I get that that’s what they like, and they want to talk about what they like, but when you are doing shows about the other series, please talk about those series and do a separate episode on the Roddenberry vault! Their best episodes are the ones that delve into behind the scenes of TOS and the TOS movies. The podcast is weak when they try to do shows that require any discussion past Deep Space Nine. I’ll give the final star just for calling out Trump when they do (which isn’t all that often). How anyone can really understand like Star Trek and be a Trump fan is beyond me. Trump is antithesis of everything Star Trek stands for.”
