Comment on this post a question for us to answer, or a topic idea for us to discuss. There are no guidelines or restrictions. Feel free to post a few comments, but please don't spam with too many. Star Trek related stuff is fine, but it is not the focus of this project so other topics are more likely to be used.

- Movie/TV show related topics such as "favorites" or specific actors/directors/genres

Favorite cheese? Go!
What are your thoughts on black and white movies from the 30's and 40's?
Would you consider posting old wrestling matches of the two of you to Patreon? You can post the matches you won, of course. 😂
Are you guys watching Shogun ? Soooo Goood.
Top tier
I'm curious how the two of you met, and what made you decide to start this channel together?
I second that. It can be general. Like are you guys lifetime friends or college friends or recent friends? That sort of thing.
If you could pick an old tv show or movie to update, how would you do it?
What do you think about modern media leaning heavily on fan service?
You've seen S1 of Buffy which, I'm sure you're tired of hearing, is far from why people are fond of it ("yes, yes, one of the best shows ever blah, blah, blah"). Any plans to visit S2 where, mid-season, Joss starts doing Joss-like things? On the TV Tropes page for Buffy, it states at the top "Bluntly put, this show is why TV Tropes exists". However, it's not a trope when you're the first to do it. The show was the beginning for so many things.
Did you check out X-Men 97? I enjoy it because it features characters I actually know.
Does your opinion of an actor (not their performance, but their off screen persona or activities) influence your opinion of a character? I know I personally try to separate the two, but there are times when no matter how hard I try I am influenced both ways..for better or worse.
How awkward is it watching a steamy sex scene with each other or when reacting? Oh I mean a sex scene while you are watching..... not a steamy sex scene with each other.... That would be awkward for the viewers
Do you watch any other reaction channels? Music, TV shows, movies or otherwise. Also are you aware of the Mr Trek YouTube channel? He's going to build a 1:25 scale model of the Enterprise. I think he said it'll be 40 ft long and 9-10 ft tall. He's currently building a 1:100 test model as a dress rehearsal (so to speak). If he can pull it off, it's going to be pretty amazing.
I have two questions related to how the Target Audience reads and responds to comments made by Patreon members: 1. Replies to comments are always by 'Target Audience', but there are times I wish I knew which of the two is the one replying. Is it always just one of you who likes and replies to comments, or can it be one or the other? 2. For the most part, after a video is posted on Patreon, only comments made within the first few hours will be liked or responded to by 'Target Audience'. However, I assume you continue to read comments made outside of that window, even if you are less likely to respond to them. As a general rule, how long after a video is posted on Patreon do you read comments linked to it? (Having asked that, I fully recognize that as the channel grows and new members watch old videos it will be increasingly more difficult for you to read everything, just as you've no doubt given up trying to read everything on YouTube.)
You once mentioned wrestling. Could you talk more about your experiance and what your thought are on it. Have they evolved?
What are your thoughts on the current state of TV/film, and the way in which political/cultural issues tend to be handled by them?
What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?

Star Trek related stuff should be the focus of this project :-) For everything else I have already seen reactions en masse. Of course I will see all the stuff again and again and I already have watched it at different "reactors" - but my beloved star trek is still something special in the reaction universe! And you two are just the absolute best - apart from Jen of course, who I only need to scroll up a little ;-) No guys, I love you!
Thanks
Are you gentlemen going to continue your 90 minute movie reaction series? I sent you Colossus: The Forbin Project for that particular reason.
All of our previous movie series were amalgamated into Audience Cut for simplicity. Colossus is on our list, although until now I always read it as “Forbidden Project” so I’ll have to update that 😂
If you could load up a favorite movie in the holodeck and play it through as the protagonist, what would you choose?
Great question. Would love to know the answer as well.
So I noticed that you guys never comment/talk about (or maybe I missed it) one character in Star Trek that is, in my opinion, just as important and feeling inducing as the main cast.. the Enterprise herself! I'm a huge sci-fi fan and as much as I enjoy characters, I sit in awe at these marvels of engineering. I've probably seen most sci-fi shows and I've never seen starships as beautiful and cool as the Starfleet ships. As the show progresses, we start to see new ship classes being introduced and they all have this design aesthetic that just cannot be ignored in my opinion. Would love for you guys to at least comment on your perspective.
I asked them once how they liked the Enterprise D compared to the TOS Enterprise and they read and answered it. I think it was their TNG season one recap video.
How do you like your TV shows: Episodic, Serialized or semi-serialized?
This is why I love the Target Audience community. Intelligent, sometimes bizarre, and often hilarious. 1. The pop culture question was always "Kirk vs. Picard" but, given the love for both men I have to ask the REAL question... In a fist fight, who wins: Captain James T. Kirk, or Commander William T. Riker? 2. What core belief do you hold yourself to in life? What's your "prime directive?" The ethical or moral standard that you seek in your daily life?
If y'all want to branch into Scotch whiskey, I would absolutely recommend the smokey legend Laphroaig.
Question: How has your impression or "fandom" of science fiction changed since you started watching Star Trek?
Even though this question is for the TA, its such a great question!
What are your thoughts about pooping?
"Sh*t happens, man."
Have you guys seen the teaser trailer for Alien: Romulus? Is there any interest? Assuming you’ve seen the Alien franchise films?
(Can confirm Josh saw ze teaser during the stream last week.)
Have you seen Dune Part 2 and what did you think of it? The Dune novels by Frank Herbert are some of my favorite sci-fi novels ever and Denis Villeneuve did a fantastic job adapting the first one.
Do either of you smoke cigars? Or drink actual Whiskey/ Bourbon? Fireball is OK, but as a child of the Aftershock Era, I can't do low proof cinnamon flavored without flashbacks to bad pizza and sticky floors at High school parties.
Who owns the cat? What is his/her name?
Would you consider reacting to a couple episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man?
Dude…..awesome show! Loved that as a kid. And actually, I loved the Bionic Woman too. The openings to both shows are great, and the music for those intro is great. Both Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner were fantastic in their roles!
Who would win in an arm wrestle between the two of you?
Where have you travelled? Either domestically or internationally
