In regards to watching in release order, I absolutely agree. Watching a prequel series first is always going to screw you up as it assumes you've seen the prior content. I would say The Cage is an acceptable exception though, as it was produced and seen by some people before the rest of the series, and certainly doesn't spoil anything. I also don't think watching ST:V and ST:VI before jumping into TNG makes much difference. A few redressed sets and 1 or 2 other things, but nothing major. Once you've seen the entire series, it can be interesting to do a chronological watch through. Still, the advantage of skipping The Cage is that you not only don't know the outcome of the present day events, but you also see the story of The Cage for the first time as well. Given only test audiences/execs had seen the original pilot, it was a smart way to get some use out of the footage. Given you just watched Shades of Grey, I'm sure you'd agree this is by far the superior clip show. Even if you'd seen Cage first, it would still be good. They did a great job with the cliffhanger. This isn't the typical mortal danger you wonder how they'll find their way out of, both Kirk and Spock are facing seemingly insurmountable legal consequences.

2023-06-14 00:29:46 +0000 UTCI haven't gotten there yet, but by now you should know: The whole "watch in release order" thing DOES NOT WORK FOR FIREFLY. I hope Patrons and YT subscribers asked (politely but firmly) that you not do that with Firefly. I will be checking those reactions out soon and I hope you did the right thing and watched it the way Joss and Tim meant it to be watched.

2023-06-12 04:29:09 +0000 UTCThe alien in the diner episode of the Twilight Zone is my all-time favorite episode. The actor you mention is in all kinds of sci-fi shows from the 50s to the 80s.

2023-01-15 20:32:16 +0000 UTCThanks so much guys! Part 1 is one of my all time favorite episodes and I so enjoyed watching your reaction. Alex was so invested, I loved it! Great episode and a great reaction. I can't wait until February when we can finally continue with the show 😀 Season 3 may have some stinkers, but it also has my favorite episode of TOS. Looking forward to all of it!

2023-01-15 07:49:07 +0000 UTCThanks for the uncut upload. I laughed my butt off when you said to your counter part if that ever happens to me ( like Pike) I want you to finish me off. Hillarious

2023-01-14 10:42:02 +0000 UTCI know there is a conventional wisdom that season two is better, but you can see here all the differences, even the Kirk and Spock costumes are different. There was more drama, more weirdness, give me season one any day.. I love this episode and I love the shot at the end when Kirk is shown tiny to convey his lack of power (a standard old Hollywood shot). Jeffrey Hunter- of the blue eyes-- was a very handsome actor who knocked around for a while, he was someone who worked with John Ford (the most celebrated Director of classic Hollywood and I believe the director with the most Oscars). Hunter starred with John Wayne in what is often cited as the greatest Western ever, THE SEARCHERS. You guys might want to check that out if ever in the mood to stray into a new genre,

2023-01-12 08:55:54 +0000 UTCNo, our Patreon started with episode 28, so the full uncut reactions to the first 27 episodes were never released. Many patrons have asked us to go back and make uncut edits of those and release them when we have time. There’s a poll on our page to choose which episodes you’d like to see.
