Podcast 144: Earnest Borg? Nein!


First of all, today is J.R.'s birthday. Forgot to tell him so on the podcast even though it would have been about a week away when we recorded. Sorry bud!

Second, the big event this time is that the Borg are back in a flagrant and obvious pandering fashion. We dismiss the superficial fan-service cash grab handily. Or do we? Also, we talk about that episode with the sex slave. Also there were two other episodes.

Third, songs about the rain! It rained here this past week! Perfect!

Fourth, just listen! Whatever!

Hey we forgot to mention David and Tim's rain songs. Here are some of 'em: "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," "Tears in the Rain," "When the Levee Breaks," "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie," "Red Rain," "Rainy Night in Georgia," "Rain" (apparently The Beatles have a song called "Rain"), "Box of Rain," "Fire and Rain," "So. Central Rain," "Crying in the Rain" (a-Ha cover of Everly Brothers?) "Kentucky Rain," "The Rainbow Connection."

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH (goals, books, other)
5:36 -- "The Breach"
26:14 -- "Cogenitor"
58:09 -- "Regeneration"
1.18:23 -- "First Flight"

Podcast 143: Martok Madness


We start off with the Nimoy tribute that should have been on the last podcast, so rest easy knowing that.

Looks like it's a perfect time for J.G. Hertzler to come and save Enterprise! Also, it's a perfect time for weird disembodied aliens! Time for Milford man Mayweather to have his own show! Is it also time for Archer to get captured again? Well, there's always a certain classic charm to it. Good times, good talk. Season 2 ain't the worst and it's almost done.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH
2:34 -- Top 5 Leonard Nimoy moments plus viewer mail
37:52 -- Harrison Ford detour, Blade Runner, more viewer mail, more Nimoy

Podcast 142: Enemy Mine Furor


Just so everyone knows, this podcast was recorded over 10 days ago, so Leonard Nimoy was still alive at the time. You may wonder why it wasn't mentioned during the show's discussion. Obviously, we'll pay our dues and shed our tears next time.

We're still knee-deep in Enterprise. We were both actually a bit up on this set even if listeners weren't. Well, a little Jeffrey Combs goes a real long way for J.R. Of course the one-two punch of Combs and Suzie Plakson is sweet sweet money all the way.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH (Lent)
4:40 -- "Dawn"
24:04 -- "Stigma"
46:23 -- "Cease Fire"
58:00 -- "Future Tense"
1.09:20 -- Awards and rankings
1.32:22 -- Other stuff (Audrey Hepburn, future plans, iTunes reviews)
1.40:54 -- Next episode predictions
1.53:05 -- Qapla' and outtakes

Of course this episode is dedicated in loving memory to Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015). Surely the value of the one outweighs the value of the many.
