Podcast # 396 – “Zero Hour” – 1208.05

This weekend on the podcast I cover the season three finale episode of Enterprise called “Zero Hour.”  First up, I talk about the new film “Total Recall” and give a spoiler free, brief review of it since I just saw it yesterday.  I also talk about the recent big screen, TNG event from a couple weeks ago that I went to and also I talk about the season one TNG Blu-Ray set.  Those discs have a few audio issues and if you go HERE, you can learn how to get replacement discs for the ones that have some issues on them.  I discuss some recent genre TV I’m watching too along with a few other topics.  Then I move on to the episode commentary for this podcast.

The episode “Zero Hour” of Enterprise was not only the last episode of season 3 for the series, but it was also almost the last episode of the series.  They didn’t know if they were coming back for a season 4 at this point and it makes the cliff hanger ending even more frustrating – when you think about the fact that this could have been it for Enterprise.  But other than that, the episode does a good job of wrapping up the season 3 Xindi arc and I find it fun to watch.  Lots of action and some good scenes with the various cast members.  It’s a tense episode and well put together.  The episode also features a brief walk on appearance by Amy Ulen – a friend of the podcast who I have talked to before.  Watch for her in a brief moment in engineering.  Overall, it’s a cool episode even with the odd, cliff hanger ending.

That’s it for this weekend.  Next week guest hosts Don Ricardo and his son Aryn will be here to talk about “Logan’s Run.”  Make sure to come back and listen to that fun show.  Take care and enjoy your week ahead.
