I don't think you guys will read since this is an older post but, since this post is pinned, every time I click on the patreon channel I get this picture. I never know if I am being pointed at as a jack-hole OR I'm about to be given the bird lol
You may have addressed this in the past and I missed it but are you still planning to watch Battlestar Galactica the 2004 version? I know in the past you were going to get to this eventually.
Like we say in the video we are focusing on Star Trek right now. BSG, Farscape, Babylon 5 & more are all options once we either can do this full time or finish Star Trek Enterprise
glad to see more star trek - just don't get burnt out on it, i know even too much of a good thing can start to get old
I'm waiting to see how they handle watching TNG and DS9 when the seasons overlap
When you guys do the reaction to Star Trek VI, which I know it will not be for a long while, just an FYI, there are two versions of the movie: the original theatrical version and the Director's Cut. It would be great if y'all reacted to the Director's Cut of the movie when y'all get to that point. The theatrical version of the movie is 110 minutes, while the Director's Cut, which contains additional scenes, is 3 minutes longer. In addition, also, in regards to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and your reactions to the movie, there is also a Director's Cut of the movie, which has three minutes of additional scenes that was not featured in the original theatrical version of the movie. Since y'all have reacted to the theatrical version of the movie, it would be total awesomeness if you guys did a reaction to the Director's Cut of the movie. Live long and prosper. 🖖
I think it would be a good idea for you to do a Patreon poll on which version of Star Trek VI to watch, as you did with Star Trek II. Of course, that won't be until early next year anyway.
I keep pondering how we are going to get you two to a Trek Convention-but-it would be nothing but spoilers so maybe we can't..?
Are you doing the 2 TOS movies? V would be done now basically and VI in a bit. There are a couple of good interviews on production and BTS. It will be interesting to see how the post original Twilight Zone looks.
When we reach them in release order, so Star Trek V will be this year during season 2
Yeah the series is best started with episode 1 , revisit the pilot with the movies after the series
Love your enthusiasm, energy and just keeping it real..Two guys a person could just hang with and watch a show together.. and your patience - Most Trek conventions I went too there was always that guy that gets to the mic to ask the guest star why they pushed the green button in episode 8 when they always pushed the blue one previous..? Trekdom is such a wide gambit of personalities and views and you two are surfing the waters with ease. Here is to the best 2024 for everyone!!!
Im loving the TNG reactions guys, keep them coming, but when are you going to do Star Trek 5 and 6?

A fun one-off video may be seeking out the various Season 1 episode trailers that aired back in the day. Some started getting suggested to me on Youtube and you'd be surprised just how much spoiling of plots is in there. Like Skin of Evil tells you someone's going to die, and even shows Tasha as one possibility. So watching all that back then you wouldn't be surprised when Klingons showed up, for example. It's fun to just spot the spoilers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIchSe-yMhE
Audiences in the past did not place as much importance on avoiding spoilers as they do nowadays. For example, the original novelization of "The Empire Strikes Back" by Donald F. Glut was published, complete with the revelation of Darth Vader's identity, on April 12, 1980, *5 weeks and 4 days* before the release of the movie. There would be riots around the world if something like that happened now. I myself read the DC Comics adaptations of Star Trek VI and the TNG series finale, and the Pocket Books novelization of the DS9 pilot, prior to seeing the films/episodes. It was not vitally important to me between the ages of 12 and 15 to experience those stories completely fresh in the moment; rather, I valued my prior knowledge of the storylines so that I could appreciate the fine details in the screen productions without being distracted by wondering what was going to happen next.
Guys, as much as I enjoy your ST work, don't be afraid to take a break from it if you need to........obviously not too long a break, but all the same don't burn yourselves out on it either.
I estimate at the current rate you'll catch up to 2023 in 2034. Looking at it that way, it's amazing just how much Trek there is to watch
“Whatever it this is” sounds fun! Looking forward to more content from you guys!
How close (or far away) do you feel that you are to becoming full time?
Very far away
Unfortunate to see the Mike Flanagan stuff didn't do well.
Looking forward to all of this!!
I'd like to advocate for two Horror shows. Might not make the cut due to dates and format though....but consider them just going forward. NIGHT GALLERY from '69. Created by the writer of THE TWILIGHT ZONE and ran three seasons. And also DARK SHADOWS (revival) from the 90's. One season, abruptly cancelled due to Desert Shield or Desert Storm messing with broadcast.
I enjoyed that 1990-1991 Dark Shadows. I was a fan of the daytime soap opera as a kid. Shame they cancelled it, especially since there were some unresolved plot lines, as I recall.
Also, please don't mention TOS when talking about TOS episodes... :P
my only suggestion is to react to star trek continues. its a fantastic continuation to the original series. its pretty short 11 episodes and available on youtube.
To not be able to binge watch Star Trek, but to have to stretch it out over eight years, would drive me crazy!!!
I mean it would take something like 37 days of straight watching 24/7 to get through all of Star Trek from TOS up to now...so taking a few years certainly seems reasonable lol
Oh bummer. I was hoping you would try Twin Peaks this year. Oh well, perhaps I will just have to watch it again on my own.
I would vote for that. The 1st season was awesome. The 2nd season was basically a poor retread of season 1.
3 seasons in 2024.... great.... There are a ton of great episodes in those 3 seasons. And yet.... that means we have to wait until 2025 for you to react to soooo many OTHER great episodes. I'm 57. I think I'll by 95 by the time you get to Picard Season 3. Everyone.... remember... NO SPOILERS. I don't think we should even tell them which the great episodes are. Let the episodes come as they come.
At the current pace, I think we'd be looking at Picard 3 in 2034.
TNG on to DS9 a full-time all the way!
What about the Star Trek movies V and VI?
They're watching everything in release order. So, for Trek V, that would be toward the end of TNG Season 2 reactions. Then, for Trek VI, somewhere in the middle of TNG Season 4 reactions.
For the longest time I didn’t understand reaction videos. Didn’t get it, didn’t understand the point. But now I realise it’s like showing your favourite TV show to a friend. Loving the channel guys, takes me back to 88 when I watched S1 the first time as a 10 year old. l’m here for the long haul.
Sounds great
You mentioned that you're not looking back to the era of the original Twilight Zone, but there was a superb revival of Twilight Zone in the 1980s which is now nearly forgotten. Its best episodes were fully up to the level of the original. Selected episodes are on YouTube (and I think they're there legally), but, unfortunately, I believe the whole series is only available on DVD (not Blu-ray), although it *does* seem to be in print and available on Amazon. Like TNG, the 80's Twilight Zone was shot on film but edited on video, meaning remastering it in HD would be extremely complicated and expensive, and, unlike TNG, the show isn't popular enough to justify the investment.
We won’t be doing reactions to these shows, so owning the physical copies isn’t as important. Slightly familiar with the 80s Twilight Zone, but when we do cover that franchise, we would probably do a dedicated series covering every iteration of the Twilight Zone
If you liked Battlestar Galactica 1978, you will love Battlestar Galactica 2003. Just watch the three hour 2003 mini series (which is essentially the opening of the show). If that doesn’t hook you for the show, which started in 2004, nothing will. They take the original concept and do it 20 times better, story and visual effects.
I think for the best experience with the new BSG, they should see where Trek was as a franchise in the years leading up to it, especially since RDM wrote so heavily for Trek and DS9 in particular.
5:09 Just tossing out a couple examples that I grew up - Unsolved Mysteries, and The 90's Outer Limits. Also, I can't remember it but as I recall there was an anthology done by John Carpenter. That might be worth a closer work as its more obscure.
Looking forward to the TOS discussion videos! Seeing the ones you’ve done for TNG has really made me wish those existed.
Sounds like a plan. For horror TV series, I suggest looking at Kolchak with Darren McGavin from the early 1970s, and I highly recommend starting with the initial TV movie, The Night Stalker.
That is a great one. The forerunner to the X files. I watched every episode when first aired.
Think you can only get through only three seasons of TNG this year eh? Hmmmm.
2 episodes per week means 11-13 weeks per season, 2/3 weeks for postseason wrap up and small break = 14/15 weeks per season. 52 weeks a year means we can fit 3 seasons with a bit of breathing room
The Battlestar Galactica reboot will hook you like crazy.
Bear in mind, due to their commitment to release order they would have to watch Galactica 1980 first.
Rewatching Babylon 5 it’s too bad you can’t fit it in it’s so much in your wheelhouse I’d know you’d love it
Second! I still think a second pilot month might be good.
