Great concept that doesn't always pay off.

“McNulty hit on a great idea when he created Random Trek, but there are a few factors that, in my opinion, keep it from being a great Trek podcast. First and foremost is the extent to which almost every episode is dominated by McNulty simply giving a play-by-play plot synopsis. I would say that about 75% of the running time is devoted to McNulty simply summing up what happens in every scene in the manner of a high schooler trying desperately to sound aloof and witty. There isn't a lot of meaningful analysis or critique, and McNulty isn't witty enough to make it interesting. Secondly, the guests he chooses vary widely in their knowledge of Star Trek. Some of the less Trek-savvy guests simply lack the frame of reference to conribute to the discussion, once again leaving McNulty to carry the bulk of the load. What McNulty needs is a reliable co-host that knows Trek, someone with whom McNulty has a rapport. A non-random guest would then make it a trio, and would probably ensure a more engrossing conversation. I want to like Random Trek; I just think that, like some Star Trek episodes, it never quites rises above the mediocre.”Read full review »

In “The Incomparable tradition”,...”Read full review »

“As a longtime Trek fan, this podcast is awesome. I have seen every episode ever made of Star Trek, with TOS my favorite, followed closely by DS9.
Scott and his guests always seem to discuss the same things I have always thought about when watching an episode. I have heard some people say all...”Read full review »

“Great host, fine guests and a fun topic. What more do you need?
Does not take itself too seriously, but needs more DS9! :)”
