Podcast 131: Broken Bow Movements

This podcast takes on a whole new enterprise. Just a little heads up about what happened behind the scenes. We spent an hour trying to get Justin.tv to work (the problem was probably site maintenance) and finally switched over to Google Hangouts. The result was relatively successful. We'll obviously be working out a few kinks on this if it's an additional enterprise we'll need to take on. Possibly as a result of technical chat troubles, this is our shortest 'cast in several years. Looks like you get a small break from listening.

But anyway, here's Enterprise! Is it as we feared and a bigger burden than Voyager? Well, it turns out the ship has a giant grapple, so it can't be that bad. Our biggest regret, though, is not realizing that the Vulcan ambassador is the main guy in Robot Jox.

Btw, it looks like one of the audio edits slipped into the past about five seconds during the viewer mail portion at about 38:10. The result is a little bit of overlapping audio (Jon sounds like he stepped into Night Lizard Future Emperor's time room for a moment) followed by five seconds of silence. Please don't use that as an excuse for a bad iTunes review!

Podcast 130: Bon Voyager!

Strap yourself in as we review the last of what J.R. calls the "muffintop episodes" (which really formed a nice little completion complex context). On top of that we devote a bunch of time to scouring all of the Voyager episodes we watched for some great best/worst awards and demerits. Perhaps silliest of all, we also rank every single episode of Voyager we watched. It wasn't fun while it lasted, but we hate to see it go.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH (moving woes, Christmas results, Oscars, Grudgement Day, weight, upcoming guestspot, series finales)
12:39 -- "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy"
36:09 -- "Fair Haven"

Podcast 129: Listen All Y'all It's a Sabo-phage

Okay so just in time for Festivus, this is the first slew of "forgotten" Voyager episodes. That probably means we didn't have too much fun with these, right? RIGHT?! Well, when have Nazis turned down fun, though? But here's the real question. Will disease, loneliness and dinosaur scientists live up to the fun that the Nazis set such a very high standard for?

Podcast breakdown:

Podcast 128: Revenge is a Dish Best Served Old

For the first time in months, were back with a normal podcast. This isn't our last Voyager podcast, but we're discussing the last Voyager episode (in which Voyager limps its way across the finish line. Does the series live up to its hype? Okay, here's a better question: does the series live up to the constant stream of dislike our listeners have been throwing at us? Also, which one of the other two is the "bad" episode -- "Fury" or "The Void"?

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH (Halloween, podcasting)
11:08   -- Viewer mail
31:45 -- "Fury"
1.02:10 -- "The Void"
1.19:29 -- "Endgame (Parts 1 and 2)"
1.58:41 -- Awards and rankings
2.08:50 -- Future episode predictions
*2.16:13 -- Qapla' and outtakes

Justin has reminded us that our discussion of ramming physical objects through a ship's shields occurred while we talked about Star Trek: Nemesis in Podcast 68.

Podcast 127: Gorgeous Eyes Under There? Under Where?

It took us a few weeks to finally do it, but here it is -- the DVD commentary of Star Trek Into Darkness. The giddiness of the movie has worn off slightly, so a bit of criticism is expected. Interestingly, the two of us tend to disagree a bit more on these movie things, but the inevitable yelling match has yet to be recorded.

BTW, Jon's voice is a bit louder than J.R.'s. Hopefully that's not too annoying. If it is, let us know and we'll painstakingly adjust the levels of every single conversation.

Details of how to sync the movie with our voices is included in the mp3, BUT as a super bonus, know that the beginning of the movie starts right at the 2:00 mark.

Podcast 126: Scare Haven

We start by talking about what Depeche Mode might play for their encore at the upcoming show. Don't be a saint and email in the setlist. Yes, we're well aware of the internet, but prefer not to know certain things until the actual time. No spoilers!

So yeah, we watched these latest Voyager episodes sort of unsure which ones were "good" and which ones were "bad." That's kind of a recurring theme. This lot was strangely not boring for having relatively few stakes. This time we get Coma Tuvok, Barclay anxieties à la TNG, shore leave gone not so surprisingly gladiatorially wrong and fritzy holodeck... again. Interestingly one bonus to not watching all of Voyager is missing out on the context of Fair Haven. J.R. blames this on the surprising reaction to the episode.

Notice: All uses of the R-word were from listeners, not podcast hosts and sub-hosts.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH (Depeche Mode, BYU football, Breaking Bad, Shatner at Salt Lake Comic Con)

Podcast 125: Retrogray

J.R. was tickled pink by the retro-futuristic fun of "Bride of Chaotica!" and the episodes in general were probably better than last time, but viewing these suckers makes it easy to see why Voyager really is the detritus of Star Trek. Boxing is never good on TV, but space boxing? Well, that tends to be even worse, isn't it? Hey, at least some more Starfleet types came along, but did they erase, or add to the Voyager complement of dullness? Hey, the guy who plays Max also plays the man in black ("Esau") in Lost. Fancy that!

4:14 -- Breaking Bad spoilers
11:37 -- Batman stuff,
