    Another Great Show
    I started listening to Gerry and Iain’s commentary of Columbo and happily followed to their new show dissecting Star Trek. If their next venture is the 80’s version of Mission Impossible it will complete the trifecta of shows I was forced to watch as a child. 🤣 I love their thorough commentary, humor and obvious love of the shows.

    Funnny and very entertainment
    I found these 2 when I was looking for a podcast on Sledge Hamer TV show and I have been following them ever since. I love how they explain in amusing details what happened in the episode with funny but new and fresh points of view. I feel like I am being told a story. Thanks guys, for all the work you do!

    Brilliant!
    I found the Colombo broadcast after it was over, but went back to listen to them all. While listening I was hoping Ian and Gerry would do a Star Trek Podcast. Now, if they do TOS, Next Gen, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise - they'll be doing this until 2033 - lol. Throw in the movies and a pandemic you could be at it until 2034 or 2035 - I'll be listening.

    Another Great Podcast — Fascinating: A Star Trek Podcast
    Since their Columbo Podcast a few years ago, Gerry & Iain have been an amazing podcast duo. With their funny, insightful, and always interesting point-of-view, I highly recommend all their podcasts. No shouting/cursing (unlike others), just intelligent, fun conversation, and Fascinating: A Star Trek Podcast is no exception. Hope you give a listen.

    A great new look at an old show.
    I just love these guys. I started listening to them years ago, having stumbled on them when they were on, oh, about the fifth episode of their Columbo podcast. Now I get to enjoy their insights again with Star Trek, a show I first saw onTV re-runs in 1975. I was a 10-year-old who'd just moved from the Australian outback to a poor section of Reno, Nevada and Star Trek helped me fit in and gave me something to talk about with the other kids in my crummy apartment complex. This is a show that can bring people together and I'm really pleased that it's doing it again, through this podcast. Thanks Ian and Gerry (whose names I don't know how to spell - sorry). Keep up the good work - I look forward to this podcast every week.

    Love Listening!
    I love listening to this series of podcasts by Gerry and Iain, the Star Trek podcast being the most recent addition. I always want to talk about the shows I watch with friends and (though aren’t much interested). This Star Trek podcast allows me to feel like I’m participating in that light hearted yet in depth conversation I wish I could have with buddies. This podcast has also allowed me to expand my television repertoire. I had never seen an episode of Star Trek before this so this podcast also acts as a vehicle for me to explore this show. I’m quite enjoying watching an episode or two and then catching up with this podcast. With that said, I think you’ll enjoy this podcast whether you’re new to the Star Trek universe, a casual fan, or a committed fan. In general, I think the pull of this podcast is the personalities of the hosts. I keep listening because I enjoy listening to Gerry and Iain and hearing their takes on some of the best series ever made.

    Perfect
    I love the take on these episodes. I’ve watched all the episodes and now I get to see them all from a different perspective. Also the Columbo connections are always a treat.

    A Voyage Gone By (almost) Everybody
    If you think it's the same old Trekkie gushing about their favorite show it's not. It's a Trek veteran along with a newbie. It's not all Rah Rah. Just honest opinions.
  • krknspock
    Far too critical
    Listened to 2.5 episodes. Can’t take your constant criticisms.
  • CDSeymour
    Yippee!!
    I’m SO glad they’re back!!
  • Pjlite
    Finally they are back
    Gerry and Iain are back! After Columbo, Black Adder, Fawlty Towers and many other pod cast. The boys take on Trek. The roles are reversed from the Columbo pod cast. A fun listen really glad they are taking on this iconic show!
