We are excited to present to you our in-depth review of not one, but two thrilling episodes from the popular sci-fi fan series, Star Trek: New Voyages (Phase II). In this special edition, we take a closer look at 'Blood and Fire' and 'Enemy: Starfleet.' One will leave you on the edge of your seat and the other will provide you pure campy fun! Joining us for this instalment is returning guest, Itztli and first timer, Kaylee. Tune in as we delve into the action-packed and thought-provoking plotlines of these two fan films. We had a "Gay Ole Time," (as the saying goes) recording this and hope you will hear that joy as you listen back! A warning before you proceed: be wary of any Blood Worm Infestations or Mind Control Pheromones that try to thwart you from playing this Podcast! It'll be worth overcoming any adversity to fully listen to these reactions. You can watch these two amazing episodes for yourself and make your own conclusions, the links are below. Trust us, you won't want to miss the full enjoyment!!! Live Long and Prosper.
