Can't wait to review DS9 with you next week!

[@thedaystromholodeck]

Hahahaha, naturally!

Shoot I missed the premier. I’m excited to see what you think about the first ‘holodeck’ episode “The Practical Joker” next! I need go back and watch the rest of the TAS reviews, it’s always fun seeing people watching the show for the first time. It’s interesting to see what perspectives they come up with as people who aren’t as familiar with the episodes. 🖖

[@thedaystromholodeck]

Oh, sorry! It’s a fun introduction using the Rec Room, but sadly Caleb and I are not covering it. We’ve been skipping episodes within the series. We’re working on a Patreon for suggestions and such. And yes, it’s been fun having Caleb watch TAS since he enjoys animation and more elaborate alien designs. Thanks for the comment and following along! 🖖🏻

@@thedaystromholodeck I guess you were responding to the other person I just wanted you to know that I enjoy all of your programs and watch them on other people's computers laptops phones when I am visiting like right now I am visiting my American relatives in the United States but I will be back in Amsterdam a week from today I look forward to your next review whatever you do you guys are amazing! I thank you, Amy Jennings Amsterdam

[@thedaystromholodeck]

Oh! How kind of you. We really appreciate you sticking with us even overseas. Thank you! Safe travels!

BEM! and his gross torso hands. I don't feel qualified to diagnose him but he is Manic Depressive. He has a nonsensical plan to "Observe" his own chicanery whilst insulting Spock and Kirk then becomes suicidal when slightly confronted. Will brings up a good point that they know nothing of Bem's race and to it is funny to think they Alien-napped him. Maybe the Lizard aliens are friendly because of the influence of the Nichelle entity and it goes with the themes of judging a book by its cover? Also if that spear thrown was on the OS that Redshirt would have been impaled horrifically anyway bad Star Trek thanks for the review as always guys.

[@thedaystromholodeck]

You couldn’t be more right. I’m grateful you agreed with us on many, if not all, things. Sometimes I find it hard to “dump” on a Trek episode because I enjoy the franchise so much. The episode just had so much potential, and sadly, I think Roddenberry really brought it down with his repetitive theme. Captain, thank you for your consistency and loyalty, seriously.

.."Where is everyone!?.."❤ (A pun, I missed your live feed) 😂

[@thedaystromholodeck]

What do you mean? Low views?

[@amymjennings]

@@thedaystromholodeck I'm sorry I was making a little joke I am Dutch from the Netherlands don't you know? Anyway our time zones are different so it's hard for me to catch up to you sometimes I guess I missed you yesterday when you did this live it's always fun to hear Star Trek conversations I didn't know that Star Trek had such an amazing history I only thought of Star Trek from the Next Generation forward but now I love all of the original series movies many of the episodes and even a couple of the episodes of the cartoon animated Star Trek a very clever I like yesteryear a lot best wishes to you Amy Jett Jennings from Amsterdam

[@thedaystromholodeck]

Oh! No worries! Thanks for choosing to watch us! The premiere for this episode was about two hours ago, sorry that you missed it. And yeah, the 1960’s and 1970’s Star Trek content is enjoyable and quite clever for the time period. Yesteryear is a great episode! Thank you, Amy! We appreciate your views and comments!
