THANK YOU ALL!
Added 2024-03-03 18:00:20 +0000 UTCCame across this YouTube community post from 6 months ago when we were about to hit 200 Patrons. We thought that was insane to get that many in 14 months on Patreon. In the 6 months since this post we have TRIPLED that number and are almost at 600 Patrons!
Patreon was something we never would’ve considered at the size we were at in 2022, but we got so many requests from people wanting to support us and watch all of Star Trek along with us in full, that we decided to give it a shot with no expectations. We are blown away with the community we have built on here, and appreciate you for being here supporting us.
We strive to ensure what we offer on here makes your membership worth what you pay, but tier benefits aside, you are allowing us to dedicate a large amount of our time to something that we both genuinely love doing (even though we are sometimes sarcastically grumpy about it).
So thank you. Let’s continue having a great time watching Star Trek and movies together, and arguing about it all as well :)

2024-03-09 20:03:50 +0000 UTCI'm sold. You're watching my favorite franchise and you're not pretentious douchebags. Glad to be a part of your audience.

2024-03-04 21:43:10 +0000 UTCtl;dr - I'm weird, you guys are great, looking forward to the next 5 years. I'm oddly stingy AF when it comes to YT/Patreon given the number of streaming services I subscribe to and just HOW MUCH "reaction" content I actually watch. At least a few hours a day of reaction content for the past... FOREVER and yet only 7 YT channel subscriptions and now you two are my 2nd Patreon [pReview'd]. I have actually subscribed to different channels over time but I don't just grant forever because I liked something for a while - if I stop watching for whatever reason I unsubscribe. I came across you two just on YT about halfway through season 1 TNG I think. Immediately back-watched the Movies from TOS and appreciated your fresh first time takes. Once I was convinced you two were serious about attempting to watch all of Star Trek it was a simple decision to join up here and help nudge you in that direction. I figure if you two are proposing to take on YEARS of content at the current pace, the least I can do is help the snowball roll downhill. I've no doubt that the number of Patrons will be pushing 1,500 by the time you hit the latter half of season 3.

2024-03-04 16:03:50 +0000 UTCHope you guys stick with it. I'll gladly continue to support as long as you do. It's great to see a channel doing something so ambitious compared to the average react channel.

2024-03-04 11:44:42 +0000 UTCI never considered I would pay for something I can get free on YouTube. But then I realized it is NOT the same. Not only being ahead and enjoying the uncut reactions and discussions - it's the community here! There are no mean trolls, idiots with a political agenda or other garbage people. And altough I watch Star Trek since I was a kid I learn from fellow patrons a lot of new insights I never knew. Almost for each episode! I always look forward to thursdays and fridays.

2024-03-04 05:54:47 +0000 UTCI was a little late to the game, but I can say watching your takes on the latest episode or movie is never dull. You guys are thoughtful and entertaining. Here's to your success!

2024-03-03 19:51:56 +0000 UTCStill a small bit to go to hit 600, but thank you!
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-03-03 19:34:07 +0000 UTCCongrats on the 600! I can't resist helping out two dudes wanting to watch ALL of Star Trek, one of my favorite things ever. And Alex is so handsome, I'd throw money at him anyway. It works out.

2024-03-03 19:28:39 +0000 UTCActually, right after season 4 Episode 12 would be an ideal place for a mid-series stream!

2024-03-03 19:24:24 +0000 UTCYes, our very first Patreon post!
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-03-03 19:14:55 +0000 UTCCongrats! Edith Keeler is what brought me here, so blame her! Was she the first patreon post or the first post full reaction?

2024-03-03 19:09:47 +0000 UTCThank you Badger, I’m glad we were able to help you escape reality a little bit while you were going through that.
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-03-03 19:06:24 +0000 UTCWould mid-TNG be best after season 3? Season 4? Season 3 episode 13?!?! Lol
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-03-03 19:04:18 +0000 UTCGentlemen, You came at the perfect time for me. I hadnt rewatched TOS in a long time, my mother -who got me into Trek-was going through end of life and I was constantly driving 8 hours 1 way to take care of her. Then here comes these guys that had never seen Trek before-(seriously..wtf..star wars..pshh-) came along and this has turned out to be the greatest escape from the everyday crap, the trials and tribulations that life tosses at you. It's also helpful you make me laugh, sometimes curse and of course the excitment just waiting for you to get to some of my favorite episodes and favorite series-DS9 cant be that far away..can it? Strange New Worlds right around the corner I'm sure.. Thank you Josh and Alex for letting us join you in our mutual adventure!
Badger
2024-03-03 18:58:28 +0000 UTCI can think of about three/three and a half big ones coming up. 1. Mid-series TNG live stream recap. Thoughts so far. 2. Post watch Star Trek VI live-stream "End of an era." 3. End of TNG stream. 3A/4. A live stream, watching TNG's series finale, with retrospective discussion. This would be special since you guys haven't done that since... Assignment Earth?
Steven Johnson
2024-03-03 18:52:43 +0000 UTCThanks James! Watching more movies exclusively for Patreon has been great, but that year long journey through Battlestar Galactica 1978 with the year 1 Patrons such as yourself will always hold a special place for us
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-03-03 18:47:03 +0000 UTCThanks Steven! Having you on the channel back in October for the TOS wrap up live stream was a ton of fun, and all of your help since then has taken our channel to a much higher production level!
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-03-03 18:42:33 +0000 UTCI haven’t “patreonized” any other reaction channel, but this one is something special and I couldn’t have missed out on your Galactica reactions. Come for the Starbuck, stay for the Colm.
James H
2024-03-03 18:39:58 +0000 UTCYou’ve been here since the week we launched the Patreon, so thank you for all your support Michael! Live streaming is something we’ve dabbled with and have a high amount of interest in, but need to figure out the right “fit” for it on our channel. Open to ideas.
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-03-03 18:38:50 +0000 UTCYou guys got there by being true to yourselves, and putting in the work. Congratulations, guys. It's been an absolute pleasure to follow.
Steven Johnson
2024-03-03 18:33:51 +0000 UTCThis is the only REACTION channel I've been a member of for this long. All others have faded away. You would probably get more money from me if you did LIVE streams cuz I like to ask questions and make comments. Can't wait for you to reach certain Trek milestones. LLAP

2024-03-03 18:29:48 +0000 UTCThanks DataDroid, We think the community is honestly one of the best parts of joining our Patreon! We should include that in the benefits!
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-03-03 18:28:32 +0000 UTCYou're the first and so far only ones I considered a Patreon membership for and it's been totally worth it. I also have to say that your community here is fun and very respectful which I appreciate immensely. Way to go guys! Here's to the next 600!
