Podcast # 269 – “Doctor Who” – 1003.07
This weekend we have a special guest hosted treat for everyone. Our "Doctor Who" fans and experts are back to discuss the last four David Tennant shows. You will be hearing Meds, Kenny and KC again discussing the latest in "Doctor Who" episodes and their views on these last Tennant tales. I will turn over the rest of the podcast notes over to Meds now. Tune in next week for the big Klingon show, with in studio guest Rick Peete! David Tennant's tenure as the Doctor has now ended. A recent vote has cast him as the most popular ...
Podcast # 268 – “Resurrection” – 1002.28
This weekend on the podcast it's back to basics for the show. I'm covering a Deep Space Nine episode and also some news from the last week or so. First, I give a brief update on how things are going for me on the job and living in Illinois currently. Everything seems good and I'm continuing to adjust to this new lifestyle. I also talk about a few Trek related stories too. Gene Roddenberry was inducted into the TV Hall of Fame recently and his son Rod was on hand for the ceremony. And in some very sad news, ...
Vidcast # 267 – “Star Wars” – Fan Films – 1002.21
This week I do another special vidcast for everyone to enjoy. The subject is "Star Wars" fan films. I did awhile back a vidcast covering some of the great Trek fan films and this weekend it's "Star Wars" turn. Always keep in mind that the group of films I cover are just some highlights and ones I've enjoyed over the years. There are literally TONS of fan films out on the web (TG for www.youtube.com and other sites). I've only seen some of them, but I think I give you a pretty good sampling of some of the awesome ...
Podcast # 266 – “Life Line” – 1002.14
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! This weekend while I'm enjoying a relaxing weekend back at home in Michigan with my wife Lynn, I turn over the podcast to Mike Featherstone (Feathers on the forum). He takes a look at the cool Voyager episode from season six called, "Life Line." This is a Robert Picardo/Doctor focused episode and we get some great guest stars too. I know everyone will enjoy what Feathers has to say about this fun episode. I will turn over the rest of the podcast notes to him. And remember, next weekend I will be doing a special ...
Podcast # 265 – Short lived SF & Fantasy TV – 1002.07
The podcast this weekend covers short lived (about a season or less) Sci-Fi and Fantasy TV shows. I've covered things like this a bit before, but I wanted to do more and talk about some gems that I both really enjoyed and miss a lot. All of these series (in my view) deserved to get longer runs, but it wasn't in the cards I guess. Anyway, I start the show out with the usual talk about my job and housing situation. Things are working out pretty well and I'm fairly settled in now. It's still hard to be away from ...
Podcast # 264 – “The Most Toys” – 1001.31
This weekend on the podcast I am doing my first, truly official podcast from my new rental house in Illinois. Got my computer and sound gear here, so all should be pretty normal to your ears. I first fill folks in a bit on the house situation and my new job. Everything is working out pretty well, but I've been very busy and it was nice to do something normal like a podcast this weekend. I chat a little about the release of the upcoming "Star Trek: Online" game and things related to my preorder at Gamestop. Also, a ...
Podcast # 263 – “Fellowship of the Ring” – 1001.24
This weekend on the podcast I finally tackle the first LOTR film, "The Fellowship of the Ring." This is one of my favorite fantasy films and also my favorite of the trilogy. I first chat a little about my recently new job, some Trek news and other geeky topics. Not a huge amount going on lately, but there are some interesting things, like the upcoming "Star Trek: Online" that is due out on Feb. 2nd. I haven't had a chance to play the beta yet, but I'm anxious to try it out. I'm also a bit behind on my ...
Podcast # 262 – No Agenda – 1001.17
Well, this weekend I have a different kind of podcast for you. I am recording it in my hotel room in Rockford, IL. I stayed over here this weekend due to my new job. I had planned on trying to do the "Fellowship of the Ring" podcast anyway, but I was having trouble getting the audio clips and things I wanted to use, so that is postponed until next weekend. Instead, I do a sort of acoustic, casual type of podcast this time. I fill everyone in on my job and how that's been going. I also talk some Trek ...

This is a funny video spoof about how last year’s hit Trek movie “should” have ended. The makers touch on some really funny and even some inside “Trek” stuff too and make a great little video for all of us to enjoy. They have done a bunch of others of this type of thing related to other movie endings. Check them all... [Read more of this review]
This is some great footage a fan transferred for everyone to see and put it up on Youtube. It shows all of the main cast of the original Trek at a very early convention appearance in Chicago in 1975. Rare footage like this is hard to come by and a real treat to see for long time fans like myself. I actually went to my first Trek con back in 1976,... [Read more of this review]
The long awaited “Star Trek: Online” MMO game from Cryptic is now out.

I’m a big fan of these types of games and am greatly looking forward to... [Read more of this review]
A new video production for the holidays from the “Star Track” crew is now up for viewing. I interviewed these guys before and they do some very funny Trek parody type of videos. Very funny stuff and they include some cool effects as well. The video below just shows part one of this production but you can go to their section on YouTube... [Read more of this review]
This is a fan-made video production picking up where “Enterprise” left off. This uses action figures, small sets, and some cool effects work. Star Trek Enterprise – The New Generation was put together by German fan Jürgen Kaiser. He and his team released their first stop-motion Enterprise fan film in 2008. Peter Goundrill and Limited...

It seems Captain Picard, or really actor Patrick Stewart is going to go where no Starfleet captain has gone before – become a knight. The Queen of England seems to be a big fan of Patrick’s and it seems he will become Sir Patrick and be knighted in early 2010. This is quite an honor and I’m sure Patrick is quite thrilled. He...

William Shatner recently stopped by and did a guest spot on the Jimmy Kimmel talk show. He talked about several things and near the end of the interview they talked a little bit about “Star Trek.” Bill said he thought the recent film was wonderful and he has had lunch with JJ Abrams and they discussed some Trek topics. So, who knows,... [Read more of this review]
Today, Dec. 7th, 2009 marks the 30th anniversary of the first Trek film, “Star Trek – The Motion Picture.” I can still remember getting to the theater early on a cold night in Michigan to see this movie and was blown away at the opening sequence as I saw huge Klingon ships on the big screen for the very first time. While this may... [Read more of this review]
Here’s a cool set of videos featuring video mashup’s from all the various Trek series and even one movie. New audio with new opening video sequences for the shows. I really enjoy watching these types of things and it really is quite amazing how a little video editing with some new music can change the tone of the show. I think I enjoy...
