I miss Star Trek. Not like watching the shows or anything. I’m talking about watching it and letting my geek flag fly. Basically, it comes down to something I want to talk about. Like watching it with someone new. Telling them how that dovetails around again. Or, like in many episodes of early The Next Generation, we never hear from them again. Since I don’t have home internet, I don’t do these with Adam anymore. But, I think there is a way.
There is a concept that I have for a YouTube channel. YouTube is full of reactions or reviews of the show, but no one talking about it for newbies. My idea is to do a video commentary of movies. Rewatch films that I love and talk about the context, story, visuals, or about stuff I love about it. Unfortunately, I don’t have a computer powerful enough (ie it’s really old) that could run a modern editing program.
So, in the interim, I thought I could do an audio podcast where I discuss the episode as I watch it. Now, for copyright reasons, I wouldn’t have the episode playing. Like those reactions on Patreon, you could watch your own copy and listen to me.
Wait, there is more Star Trek
This comes from my countless viewings of first time reaction channels of the series. Where no one knows what is going on, nor do they know if any of this matters. Of course, it matters. Even the Spock’s Brain, Code of Honor, or that Paris and Janeway reptilian episode.
The podcast will return a reboot of The Away Team. All four seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise are there from when Adam and I did from 2020 to 2022. Those episodes are still available and you can listen to the old concept.
The new concept will be for old, new, or very new to Star Trek. I will be kicking things off with “The Cage” and go right into the original series. This is what I’m thinking about. So let me know what you think about the concept. Let me know if you would listen to it. I’ll drop more information at a later time about if and when it will happen.
