yeah, you are right. I just hate him more and more with each episode lol. The fact that he causes such a reaction is a credit to the writers, this is by far the best startrek audio I have come across.

Give the poor guy a break! I think he’s beginning to mellow out. The last two episodes, he could almost pass as human. A few more episodes, and he might actually be likeable. I must admit, in ‘Death Sentance’ he and Admiral Thomas must have been out of their collective minds ordering Lt Denali to pose as an M.D. It would’ve been a simple matter for Admiral Thomas to intercede and select a female doctor

just FYI…
i posted a link to your productions on the Star Trek Online forums.

hope y’all get more listeners….keep up the great stuffs.

peace.

ok, my sorting was not correct and i found it in the middle of the rest of the others…lol
disregard this one and go with the one that has the link.

Ben — Thanks! That’s good to know that you speak Klingon as well! And didn’t Lotran and Chirrok get the invite to the part on DS3? Must’ve gotten lost in the mail.

Yeah…well, that was a stretch, we realize — but it was a plot device. And even the great writer’s bombed once in a while. We endeavor to be true to the original Star Trek philosophy, to the characters, to the story, and to the mechanics with which we must deal — in that order. Sometimes, we do have to sacrifice something – and this time, as you noted, it wasn’t as successful as we had hoped. Your comments have been taken to heart and a new attention to detail has been implemented! Thanks for listening.

Just when I was starting to think Captain Buchanan was simply going to be a caricature, you go and make him interesting and give a good reason for him being the way he is. I have been thoroughly enjoying this series and it keeps delivering. Thank you.

How do I find episodes 1 – 8 of Outpost?

Among the many Startrek pod casts I listen to I actually love Star trek Outpost chief knox rules role on 23

So, I’d love to give this new (to me) podcast a listen, but I can’t find a place to d/L anything earlier than episode 6 either on here or on iTunes, a little help?

I want to listen to this series but the first 6 episodes are missing on iTunes, any chance they can be added?

Here’s a link to Episode #1, you can download it straight from there to import into iTunes: http://www.giantgnome.com/2009/04/star-trek-outpost-episode-1/

Ahhh, I hate that I don’t review more than I do. Every episode leaves me with things to talk about, but I never seem to get around to it.

Well, let’s see…

You find out who your friends are when you’re unconscious. If it wasn’t for the Doc, I reckon the crew would agree to keep the Capitan comatose until Tork had the place running properly. Not even the Admiral would argue it too much, and isn’t THAT saying something?

After the Trilogy of episodes, I naturally assumed that the hologram of
Christmas Future was showing him a slightly more distant future, now I’m
not so sure. We can see everything spelling itself out according to the
dream sequence.

It would be quite in character of this series for such a bittersweet plot, with Exler and Smith leaving in heartbreak, and Tork putting the station together right.

But that wouldn’t fit exactly with the mirror to ‘A Christmas Carol’ that the series went through. Thing is, the point of the old story is that Scrooge took a long hard look and changed his life. I saw little to no evidence that Buchanan had changed, per se; except for Smith’s sister. It was a good job with the ‘Ghost of Past’ storyline. You didn’t quite
manage to make him sympathetic, but now he’s a far more tragic story
than a despicable one.

While I’m still on that subject, I’ll just ask this question: What the hell is going on aboard DS3? is the place just haunted? Granted, in Sci-Fi, you tend to find a plausible reason to explain the classic Supernatural results; and Star Trek does it better than anyone; but…

Last time we saw ghosts, I figured it was the Chiefs implant, doing something with the holo-emitters making a Spectre appear. Now I’m not so sure. You could say it was all a delusion in the Captain’s diseased mind, but it’s just too accurate.

So what’s happening?

The Doctor’s reaction to the Betazoid’s was less surprising than it could have been. Dr Winston is a natural Tranquil Fury waiting to happen, but her unusual prescience was talked about too much for us not to expect a reaction of some kind to a batch of bona-fide telepaths on board.

Based on the experience with betazoid women we got from TNG, we can’t really be surprised at the notion of them being tactless and compassionate in equal measure, and it opens up some interesting what-if’s where the dreaming Bucky is concerned.

Yessir. Going to be interesting.

Star Trek hasn’t been good since episode 1 of Enterprise. You have no idea how incredibly wonderful it is to get such GOLD on a regular basis. Not only good writing and good performances, but plausible plots, fleshed out background, and we get a universe that isn’t all shiny and new like everything on board ships called Enterprise was. Please don’t ever stop producing these; it’s better than a lot of episodes were, and the very best of what Star Trek can be now.

Bernard — what are you talking about?

What are you talking about Bernard? This is the first I’ve ever heard of this problem…

Love This Show. One of the best there is, brilliant.
But what is a Esherite?

On “occasion”?  Troi was guilty of it a lot, although Lwaxana was even worse.

i did the same exact thing when i first found this podcast

by far, outpost is the best audio star trek. i’m addicted to this series.

He’s right Don, I started out by sending them a little bit of some things I was working on…and got a responce from them right away… I’ve been doing little bits in the background ever since!
