Customer Reviews
Great podcast
This is an entertaining podcast. I really appreciate that you can play it with children in the car. So many Star Trek podcasts use profanity indiscriminately. Even the ones featuring Star Trek actors.
Great reviews.
I like Star Trek thanks.
A Waste of Time
There is an unfortunate amount of recency bias here, as regards “Strange New Worlds” & “Picard.” “S.N.W.” is better than “Discovery” & season three of “Picard” might be better than season one, but that’s no excuse for cutting the new shows more slack than is given to T.O.S. & the “T.N.G” era shows.
