The Engage Podcast

In this introductory episode we’re going to be ‘dipping our toes in’ what’s most likely going to be one of the longer Species episodes we’re ever going to do. So, we’re just going to do a quick Dominion overview episode. Before we breakdown the Jem’Hadar, Vorta, and Changelings individually. Warning this episode contains swearing.

As the title suggests in this episode, we’ll be discussing Joss Whedon’s infamously cancelled cult classic show Firefly (and accompanying Serenity film) giving our thoughts and feelings.

For my second General Interest podcast I head into the fictional world for the first time with the varied works of Gerry Anderson.

In this episode we get into the Christmassy mood spirit by doing a film commentary for the 2015 film Christmas Eve. As it’s got the most tenuous link to Star Trek because it stars Patrick Stewart and Christina Chong. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Christmas-Eve-Patrick-Stewart/dp/B07KNFFRFM

The points of comparison were the technological advances, the chances of survival and the feelings of security...
