Customer Reviews
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.
If you love Star Trek, you’ll love this podcast.
In depth reviews from three interesting perspectives. Honest without being hypercritical. However, the drinking game would be once for each time Dom says the word ‘interesting’.
