“The big question is: Can these fellows break the Third Season Curse? Having listened to it for several long months, I must say that they seem to have succeeded and I see clear sailing for them ahead. It helps that they don’t the Electric Surge Network is nothing like NBC was and lets these inglorious Treksperts have complete creative autonomy over their episodes! But seriously, this show continues to be amazingly fun to listen to. I think they can go 10 seasons at least! What do you say fellas?
I find I agree much more with Darren Dochterman’s viewpoints on almost everything given his proclivity toward the original series and The Motion Picture and his voice characterizations, including of myself, are truly spot on. (Majel wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference!)
Mark Altman lets his personal political views seep into the conversation a bit too much for my taste, but he does so generally sparingly and with a good natured attitude. Star Trek has always succeeded best, I think, when subtlety is deployed in one’s political viewpoints. But his knowledge and reminiscences make him equally enjoyable to listen to.
The topics have been highly creative and the rapid-fire quotes from the franchise’s many iterations are very impressive and add to the fun. Regular guests like Ashley Miller, Rob Burnett, and Scott Mantz mix things up constantly (like a box of chocolates!) and bring new insights and ideas.
Keep on trekking, gentlemen! Thanks for keeping the original vision alive as these newfangled interpretations (except Lower Decks) continue to lose sight of the Star Trek vision and lose their way.”
