Kneel Before Pod

DC TV Crossover

The latest edition of Kneel Before Pod brought together me (Craig) and Chris to talk about the recent TV crossover event that brought together The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl and DC's Legends of Tomorrow to take on invading aliens. It was exciting to see how these characters would work together in a sprawling story that takes place across three episodes of television. It was so exciting that Chris and I just had to talk about it and we cover the events depicted in some detail.

Many things are covered such as how well Kara gets along with everyone, Ray's issues around who he is attracted to, how aliens appearing in traffic get covered up and the ease of multiverse travel. You can find my reviews of the individual episodes here.

Joe Mallozzi Interview

Joseph Mallozzi, creator, writer and producer of Dark Matter, kindly gave us his time for this edition of the podcast and I used it to talk all things Dark Matter: season 3 currently in production, the influence of anime on his writing and even a couple of points closer to my heart: will Six have to face off against Anders again and just who was Three’s third gun ‘Pip’ named after?

Show Notes

I wish I’d had more knowledge of anime to better talk through his influences but here’re the ones he gave mention to:

• Cowboy Beebop – his particular recommendation for me to follow up
• Gundam
• Code Geass

More details of Dark Matter season 3 can be found on Joe’s daily blog, where he regularly releases little teasers about characters, sets and plots to come. Joe can also be found on Twitter.

Star Trek 50th Anniversary Part 3

Happy 50th Birthday Star Trek!

As the 50th Anniversary of one of the most influential franchises in the history of entertainment approaches we thought it would be a good idea to get together and pay tribute to it. Myself (Craig), Sandy, Alec Peters of Axanar fame and Nick Cook who brought us the fan series Intrepid spent a long evening talking about Star Trek and bringing our thoughts on the best and worst of the franchise to all you listeners.

Since the discussion went on for a long time it was decided that it would be better to split it into 3 parts. Part 1 can be found here and part 2 is here. This third and final part deals with Star Trek: Enterprise, the movies, characters and our hopes for the future.

A special thank you to 331ERock for his amazing cover of The Original Series' theme, Nstens1117 for his cover of the Star Trek Beyond music and Sam Dillard of Samostudios for his superb music.
