    Great episode, enjoyed the allusions to “A Christmas Carol”

  • Scott

    GREAT EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve seen references to a tragic past for the good captain. I even saw hints that something turned him into a Scrooge character earlier, especially when talking to the admiral at the party. Loved the chains at the start. I thought, was I hearing this right?
    I can’t wait for the next episode. Monty as Scrooge, Tirellian as Marley, TOlvar-Smith as Cratchet, Tork as Scrooge’s nephew. Love it all!!

    Keep up the great work. Thank you!

  • Commander Cross

    I loved this episode! I could get Tovar-Smith as Bob Cratchit, but Sayzar Tyrellian as Jacob Marley? Rachel Winston as the Ghost of Christamas past? Dosen’t matter. I loved the story. I felt sympathy for Monty at the end of the story, though I hated his guts at th opening. I always thought he was a sociopathic tyrannical control freak. Now I know why. Hats off to the cast and crew! Can’t wait till next month.

    I’m a newbie ’round here, but I just had to shout out to everyone: This is an amazing episode! I have listened to a LOT of ST based shows out there, and after a few shows, I normaly loose interest. But not Outpost, Every episode has been a delight in sound and storytelling, and this one is fantastic! Buchanan is one of my favorite charicters (sorry spelling on the fly here). the Man is not evil, but he does drive everyone crazy! He is not an “anti hero”, Just another guy at the office with his own agenda, and past. Here we find out what has made him so bitter, or a least the tip of what must be a very large iceberg. By the end of the episode, you start warming upto him, and even rooting for him.

    The acting by everyone is top rate and natural feeling (something a few other podcaster could take a hint from), and the writing is just fantastic! Kudoos to everyone; a great episode from a amazing show! Tell your friends…tell everyone.

  • Daniel “Harrier” Potter

    Not usually a fan of Christmas Carol riffs, but in this case I have to give a thumbs up. The Outpost crew continue to produce excellent work. Thank you all!
