This week on the podcast I do a classic show for all of you. First up it’s some news and Trek talk for the last few weeks. Lots of info is coming out now on the new Trek film for 2013 and I am trying to keep up with all the facts, rumors, and scuttlebutt around the Net. I pass on a few stories for you and share some of my thoughts and guesses as we get into this new year. I talk some about the excellent TOS 15 CD music set I got for Christmas. This set is packed with awesomeness and every fan of Trek music should pick up a copy HERE when they can. It’s a limited edition set and I urge everyone to seriously consider picking this up. I’ve barely scratched the surface of this set so far, but I am loving what I have heard.
The main topic for this week is the 4th season Enterprise episode, “Babel One.” This is a cool episode featuring some of the founding members of the Federation and a real gem for fans of TOS like me and others. It’s starts out with the Andorian Shran’s ship under attack and gets more intriguing as the episode goes on. I do a full commentary for you as I watch the episode again. It kind of ends in a cliffhanger a little bit since this episode was part of a series of connected episodes in the 4th season. But I think it’s enjoyable on it’s own too. I’ll try to cover the follow up episodes on a future podcast.
I wrap up this week’s podcast with a quick look at my new collectible statue from Sideshow Toys. It’s a statue of Faith from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” It’s extremely lifelike and very well done. I’ve been wanting this one for awhile and finally had the chance to pick one up for myself. It’s actually still available and you can check it out yourself and order one if you want right HERE direct from Sideshow. Check out the link for more pictures of this great statue too. That’s about it for this week folks. Vartok will be here next week with another musical show with a look at the music of Jerry Goldsmith. Take care until then and enjoy your week ahead.
