“While used to video fan productions and non-fiction audio podcasts, I'm new to the concept of the modern fan-produced audio drama. I was introduced to Giant Gnome productions, and decided to slot Star Trek: Outpost into my queue for listening during my daily commute.
I did not expect the quality that STOutpost exhibits. I'd heard Tony Raymond was a first-timer, and taking on co-writing, co-producing, and audio-engineering duties... so I made sure to set my expectations low. After all, who could keep up? Well, clearly Tony Raymond and his partner, Daniel McIntosh, can.
Audio quality is kept to a high standard, and while the 'brass section blowout' act-breaks feel... a bit overdramatic for their placement from time to time, I'm still impressed. Sound-effects are mixed nicely, with a full ambiance. The cast is great and over-all well acted. ...The change in voice for DaiMon was a bit jarring, at least, if they're the same characters, but that sort of thing happens.
Props to Robert Pepper as Lt. Commander Greg Torkelson, as well. I wasn't sure what to think of him with the first episode, but by the 6th he's grown into a character I can -believe- in. The first time you hear John Specht as Chief Burt "Hard" Knox, it's hard not to picture Solid Snake in Starfleet uniform, complete with face-camouflage. Everyone else stands out, but space is limited.
I would be remiss to not talk about the -story-, though. The concept of the 'not yet ready for command' rookie, but one with a level head, plays out nicely here. There's a good feel that CMDR Torkelson's in over his head, and realizes it, but isn't letting the situation jar him. Though I admit, I hope Captain Tyrellian dies in a fire. Painfully. ...No more, no less. ;)
In summary: Listen to Star Trek: Outpost. Production values are high, the story is compelling, and it feels like BIG THINGS are gearing up to happen in the show. You won't be disappointed.”Read full review »
