After Trek

[SpocksOddSocks]

This week was very good, both Mary Chieffo and Kenneth Williams were great.

Ooh, Matron.

I think you mean Kenneth Mitchell (did have to look up the credits though as I didn't remember his actual name either). Although Williams is dead, I definitely enjoyed imagining him as a Klingon for a moment.

Right now I'm just wondering if Frakes will turn up after the episode he directed.

Indeed i am Now, I'm imagining the Klingon version of Just a Minute.

After Trek this week did a neat thing, they analyized one of the maps we got got a close up on in the episode.

I tried to watch the show 'live', but for some stupid reason, it just wouldn't stream. Tried it on two different laptop's, same result. About a second of video/audio and it would just 'freeze'. Thought it might have been buffering, but it never did work. Even checked to make sure I had the latest version of Flash. Nadda. Eventually, I just gave up and switched on something else. I guess I'll try it again tonight, with the 'taped' video version.

CBS ALLACCESS sucks donkey nuggets...

Q2

The clip they showed from next episode had Burnham and Tilly wearing "DISCO" t-shirts. The producers said the tardigrade was initially going to be a regular crew member.

I did not like the way the host presented the first episode and I have not watched it since. If he's doing better I might give it a try, sometime.

Man, I wish they'd jettison Matt Mira out the airlock! I feel so embarrassed for the guests. Mira is like a little man-child playing in the Trek talk show set he built in his garage. He's not funny, he's stumbling over his teleprompter, talking over a reply that one of the executive producers was trying to get out. I really enjoy the "Talking Dead" aftershows with Hardwick, but this is just unbearable. And really, going to "red alert" at the end of each episode with all the flashing lights... are they directing this show towards 6 year olds? Jeez.

 

[KirkusOveractus]

They also need to work on other gags for Mira to do if they're going to keep him as host. For one, the pointing at the hashtag to look like he's being irreverent or funny wore out the third time he did it.

They really need to rework After Trek. Stop diverting to the Twitter questions, in fact don't go to Twitter at all for questions, use that time for showing and hearing more about the process behind the making of the episode we just saw, things like that.

He is.

We landed a small cast member interview for our podcast, we haven't done the interview yet, its later in October.

But when soliciting for these interviews, some of the more important cast members agents have cited certain exclusivity agreements,

most when they tell you no they just tell you no. At first I wondered if the exclusivity thing was just a line, but I'm getting the vibe between the one ST podcast on startrek.com and the After Trek were what they were talking about.

Either way I watch after Trek and get a smidge jealous, cause sometimes I think to myself "I could do better than this"

Which is crazy because Mira is GREAT but on that show, he doesn't seem so sharp. Otherwise I love him and when I heard he was doing after trek I was kinda excited.

 

[Cyrus]

The host is OK. He annoyed me a little at first but now I am used to him. He manages to keep it lively.

I agree they should ditch the twitter stuff. Also get rid of the trivia questions. I like having the showrunners (Gretchen & Aaron) there. Hopefully they can get other writer/producers too, like Nick Meyer or joe Menosky.

I know how you feel.... I don't know if it's just the way I prefer to do things, but I feel like there's a missed opportunity. The show hasn't found it's comfort zone yet and Mira seems to be hitting the marks the product wants and in doing so, sacrificing a 'natural conversation' vibe.

There were a couple of moments tonight I used to really grumble at my staff for; halting the conversation to abruptly move onto the next mark instead of helping it flow. Though Chieffo and Mitchell seemed to have a better time as last week felt like there was too much of him directing the conversation rather than letting it grow (you'd be forgiven for forgetting one person was even there).

But I think they've taken on board the demands of the show and just need to tweak. Week two was a massive difference as the loudness of week one was really off putting to many (mostly outwith the US from various comments over the interwebs). And hopefully the trivia's ditched fairly sharpish as it's all embarassingly easy questions a newspaper would ask you in a competition :/

yeah sometimes you just have to take your wheel ( I use a clock chart ) and toss it out the window,

I much prefer the good conversation, ala talk radio, the flow to me by well informed people is much more important.

 

[Jarvisimo]

I ended up treating it as a podcast, on in the background, not as a video (until later on) & I rather liked it in this manner. It's fun to watch too, but since it's not demanding tv, it's easy to put behind another tab/window.

Just watched the latest episode and the two Klingon actors, L'Rell and Kol, were great. But what bothered me about this installment was the preview of the next episode. In that episode, the nickname, "DISCO" (for the ship, at least) will apparently be officially canonized by the show.

In light of last week's little dust up in the episode thread about some of the show's nicknames around here, the only nick that has bothered me has been, "DISCO". I just knew that would be the one that would not survive. Surprise!

I never knew that next word was "round." I always thought it was just "ah-ahhh." I guess having an actual noun there makes more sense, though I'm not quite sure what a "disco round" is.

Heh. Took me a while to get that one.

Nothing wrong with a little enthusiasm, and a little fluff. I like the tone of After Trek, and will continue to watch.
