Since tomorrow is the start of September it feels like a fitting time to end #mysummerofstartrek. Five episodes across which we discussed four films and one classic TV episode. And I have to say, it has been an absolute (phaser) blast. I look forward to returning to the wonderful world of Star Trek in some form on the show.
This time around Paul and I discuss 'Star Trek V: The Final Frontier' from director William Shatner (we had hoped Kieran would join us during the call but unfortunate he couldn't make it). A film we have many many thoughts on.
Also, the podcast which gets mentioned late in the episode is Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast. It's a fantastic Star Trek show which we are big fans of and I think you would be too.
Join us next time as Kieran and I return to the Seven Up franchise to discuss '28 Up'!
In this episode Paul, Kieran and I continue our Star Trek odyssey (#mysummerofstartrek) with a conversation about 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home'. (NOTE: There were some issues with Paul's headset while recording this episode so apologies if some of his audio sounds a bit off).
Join us next time for as we complete our summer mini-series with an episode on... you guessed it... 'Star Trek V: The Final Frontier'!
After episodes on Star Trek II and Star Trek III, our five episode mission- which I'm calling #mysummerofstartrek- takes a change of course this week as we move to TV and to the crew of The Enterprise as captained by Jean-Luc Picard. Yep, that's right we're talking TNG as Paul, Kieran and I discuss the episode 'Q Who'. So that's Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2, Episode 16- an excellent episode of television where the crew of the ship encounter mega-villains the Borg. You can expect conversation about the Borg (from their debut here right up to their recent appearance in Picard series 3), talk of John de Lancie's Q, comparisons to Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica and Firefly, the allure of William T. Riker, going for a wee in Star Trek uniform and much, much more.
And where do we go from here? Well, next time around we discuss 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home'. But for now.... ENGAGE!
Continuing the mini-series #mysummerofstartrek this episode sees Paul, Kieran and I discuss 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock', directed by Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy. This time around Paul and Kieran talk about their favourite Trek films, we talk about casting Klingon's, the acting of William Shatner and question just how far the pon farr went in this movie. Also, just like our last Star Trek ep, the Star Trek podcast which gets mentioned is Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast, which we recommend you check out.
Next episode we take a break from this series of films, but join us as we spend some time with a certain Mr Jean-Luc Picard and his friends.
Oh, and the Josh Hartnett film Kieran tries and fails to remember the name of was '40 Days and 40 Nights'. In case you wondered.
