Kneel Before Pod

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.

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.

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.

Since there has recently been some news about Star Trek: Discovery released by Bryan Fuller, Sandy and I (Craig) decided to get together for a Flashcast and talk a bit about it. The conversation veered off into other aspects of the Star Trek universe as usual but we had a broad discussion about everything we know so far and had fun doing it. The only real show note to speak of is the image of the Captain's Chair that we discussed and you can find that below:           But who will sit in it?

The bridge crew consisting of myself (Craig), Sandy, Angus and Natalie reassembled to complete our discussions of the rebooted Star Trek films by talking about Star Trek Beyond. The review of the film can be found here. Please be advised that there are significant spoilers for the film but the audio does forewarn you of that so there's no chance of accidentally being spoiled when listening. There are some audio issues from Angus and Natalie mostly due to a dodgy internet connection but the majority of what they said still comes through clearly enough.

Recently Jeff Teravainen was able to give up some of his time to talk to Craig about his life and career. Jeff is currently starring as Lieutenant Anders on the SyFy show Dark Matter reviewed on this site by Aaron. Fans of the show will recognise him as Lieutenant Anders. People may also know him as Agent Stack on 12 Monkeys. He had a lot to share about his life and career including his time as the frontrunner of a band and his interest in palaeontology. I hope he has a lot of success in his career and that his auditions go well. The discussion didn't lend itself to a lot of referencing so the show notes in this case are really light but I hope you enjoy listening to what he had to say.

Another milestone has been reached for Kneel Before Blog. The website is now on 1000 posts and I'm absolutely delighted by the progress that has been made to get us here. Kneel Before Blog is something that I started on my own but over the years I have recruited other people to help me by supplying other content. The website wouldn't be at this stage without that help so a lot of credit should be given to Aaron, Angus, Natalie, Gwen, Jordan, Simon, Urfa and Graeme for taking time out of their lives to provide their own takes on media that they have consumed. For the 1000th post I really wanted to celebrate the team rather than myself because it's 1000 posts of collective content rather than just me so Gwen suggested the idea of doing a podcast where people can listen and "meet the team" so to speak. I thought it was a great idea and decided to try to make it happen. As you might expect not everyone could make it but Aaron, Gwen, Natalie and Angus managed to make themselves available for a live discussion and
