    Episode 15 was utterly, unbelievably, incredibly EPIC!!!!! While I was listening to it I felt as though I was right with Exler and Tyrellian as they fought and ran from Jenneth, who did an excellent job as a Klingon! The fight scenes I could see in my head so vivid were all the sounds. I keep checking your site, hoping for a casting call so I can join in the awesomeness of this podcast!
  • Mark Z
    Wow, Episode 15 was fantastic. I agree with Eleiece concerning some of these fine voice actors. Katie Gomez does an outstanding job as Lt. Exler. I really feel for the emotional ringer she's been put through this season. I really hope things get happier for her in the future.

    CC, I don't know how you do it, but I find it amazing! Your voice acting as Jenneth sounds, IMHO, to be exactly how I would expect a Klingon female to sound. Great job!!

    And my hat is off to Steve Carter. You do a great job playing both sides of the line. Yeah, I know it's written that way (and hat's off to the writers, as well!), but you make me believe that this character is very skilled in this line of work. A little slimy, maybe, but sounds completely sincere to everyone he speaks with.
  • Eleiece
    Without a doubt, Episode 15 ("Ambush") is FRAKKING AWESOME! The writing, musical scoring and post-production continue in their flawlessness. And the voice acting...what can I say except....WOW! While the entire cast's performances were of the excellent quality I've come to expect from each of them, Mark Zaricor, Katie Gomez, CC Peterson and Robert Pepper, individually and collectively, boosted the bar for excellence with their performances in this nail-biting, intensely and deliciously frustrating cliffhanger episode!

    Special kudos to Mark and Katie for that last scene; it is MESMERIZING. I tell you in all seriousness, that from the first time I listened to this episode, and every time since, without fail, when it gets to that scene, the world ceases to exist for me for those few moments.

    And, CC....what can I say?! In your most capable vocal hands, you breath a Klingon life-fire into Jenneth that is amazing! From now on, when I hear or think “Klingon”, it is your performance as Jenneth that comes first to my mind. Well done, indeed!

    Keep up the great work….everyone!

    Excellent production, acting, and writing. I don't know if I can wait another month... but I do have these strips of latinum lying around... maybe I can get an early release?

    I'm having trouble with the podcastpickle it will only play have of each podcast ! ! !

    Just found this series last week and have listened to the whole run (so far). This has become my favorite Trek audio series to date, and I look forward to more. I think Knox's attitude is taken a little too far, but that's a fairly small complaint. One thing I really enjoy is how much misinterpretation of events/information seems to happen due to POV, something that is often overlooked, even in professional shows.

    It's also nice to see the former captain of the Excelsior has found a new career as a doctor :-)
  • Simon
    Fantastic show, really enjoying it. I am having some difficulty download/listening to episodes 9, 10 (and maybe 11), they don't seem to want to download from itunes fully. Episode 9 cuts off just after the bar fight, episode 10 cuts out a 27.29 mins. I'm not sure about 11, it might be complete.

    Looking forward to the next episode.

    Episode 13 is AWE-SOME!! And I'd say that even if I wasn't a member of the cast!
  • Mark
    Hey Gnomers: Love the Outpost series. Buchanan is such a delightfully irritating PITA and a great foil for Torkelson. The episodes make great listening for my trek to and from the office. Please keep up the fantastic work!
  • Robert
    Great series! Great writing and good characters, I'm very much addicted and may never turn on my TV again. Thanks for the show!
  • TRGarner
    Just stumbled across the Podcast and I just wanted to say thank you for the show.
  • Ronda
    Excellent! great writing and well put together. keep up the good work.
  • stephensmat
    Ahh, that's better! Episode heard, much enjoyment.

    I remember saying something to the effect of "We don't know what the deal was between Tork and Denali." two episodes ago. Now we've got a better idea of where Tork is coming from.

    When I heard the bit about replicating roses, I actually did a facepalm. The fact that the Admiral was in the room to personally witness it was painful.

    And Doc? Come on. He's a Ferengi. Of course there were stolen good involved. Of course there was something shady happening. it practically comes with the earlobes!

    So now we're heading back into stormy weather. Without our science officer around to disprove more ghost stories.

    The question mark for me is the 'ghost' of the previous commander. The general feeling is that Knox was able to conjure a specter with the Escher implant and a holo-emitter on the ship. But that doesn't explain the fact that it's the second time we've seen this particular ghost.

    The first time there was lots of chaos and smoke and uncertainty... but what if it never came from Knox?
  • Sohkraites
    Ah...yes...questions, questions....

    RE: Tork and the roses - Yes, purposefully designed to be painful; part of Tork's awkwardness to be sure. He's a guy. Let's face it...he's not very "intuitive" when it comes to the fairer gender. Witness Ep1 when he talks to Denali about the transfer. Growing up is ugly and painful and the thing is, we all must do it at some point. He knows the rules, but not the nuances of the game!

    Re: Doc - Oh, she knows. She knows. And of course, there's more growing to be done there.

    Re: The Question Mark....well, well, well... I guess we shall have to wait and see, won't we? :)
    The final chapter has yet to be written, hasn't it? And so... what if it didn't come from Knox? What then? Was it real? Was it imaginary? I guess you'll have to stay tuned to find out, eh? ;)

    Thanks for the feedback and keep listening!!! There's plenty more to come -- in STAR TREK: OUTPOST - EPISODE 11 - INTO THE ROUGH SEAS. Coming February 5th, 2010 to GiantGnome.com! (sorry...couldn't stop myself!)
  • Sherman
    Ok great series... Lacking in action for sure, however you guys make up for it in wit and the human side of the story. This is what DS9 should have been! (But like I said, you guys could add a little action :-) ) Loving the bashing of Bureaucrats, it so works. The captain of the DS-3 reminds me of a DMV manager. LOL Any who, keep up the good work, look forward to the future. You guys are the natural successors of the Section 31Chronicles!
  • Sohkraites
    Sherman -- Thanks for your input and the kudos! We're working on the action part...we really wanted to focus on the people - the characters -- they are the core of what Outpost truly is. Not every adventure can be life-on-the-edge-dangling-by-a-thread...but that is coming. Trust me. But at the core you will always find our characters...living, breathing, and growing. We'll see about slipping in the occasional phaser fight or bar fight...speaking of which, have you checked out Episode 9?

    Anyway, thanks for the input! We'll keep on plugging away and we appreciate you taking the time to tell us how you feel! Keep it up!
