Today on the podcast I did a classic TSF show. I covered the 5th season episode of Voyager called, “Bliss.” I started off on the podcast covering the brand new “Star Trek Into Darkness” trailer that just hit the web a couple of days ago. We finally get to see some new stuff in this short teaser trailer. It’s easy to see the “Star Wars” influences on JJ’s film now. But I’m still very excited to see this movie in about two months time. I go over some of the worldwide release dates and I’m a bit bummed that the United States is getting the film about a week later than several countries. It’s going to be hard to stay spoiler free during that week. I also share a short message from Gates McFadden who is doing a charity auction of some of her own merchandise and many signed Trek goodies. You can follow Gates on Twitter HERE and follow her eBay auctions HERE too. Then it’s on to this week’s Trek episode that I covered.
The episode “Bliss” from season five of Voyager is basically a “Moby Dick” tale – to a degree. Voyager runs into a huge space organism that makes their fondest dreams and wishes come true. Seven of Nine is not affected by this and she along with the Doctor and Naomi Wildman try to stop the crew from making a terrible mistake. It’s a fun, little episode and I cover it with a full commentary while I watch it again. That about wraps it up for this week on the podcast folks. Next weekend Chris & Al will cover the classic Disney film, “20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea.” I will return in two weeks with another Year in Review show with a look at the year 2002. Take care until then and enjoy the week ahead.
