So the two on the left are modelling themselves after the seventh Doctor Who but somehow missed the point of the show...

Well it sounds like I've got a lot to enjoy in the meantime then. Wish there was a way I could get those early Bernice Summerfield stories on Spotify though...

So I know I'm late to the party but I've been listening to the Big Finish audio adventure 'Whispers of Terror' from 1999. How have I never embraced the Big Finish world of Doctor Who audio adventures before??? This story is great - really embraced the audio medium.

Everyone's a little bi... oh wait, wrong song.

Still seems appropriate though.

Geoff Owen - Listen to 8-Bit Back Issues @ncc17formula1.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah that makes sense.

Geoff Owen - Listen to 8-Bit Back Issues @ncc17formula1.bsky.social · 2d

That makes more sense than my suggestion.

What would the Starfleet version of HR be?

Lifeform Resources?

There's been rumours of some kind of Starfleet Academy project since the 80s but while I've never asked for it personally, I'm excited for this show. Even more excited since the trailer too.

I don't blame you. I personally don't hate any Trek show myself. I'm not gonna be a fan of Scouts, as I'm not 3, but I do support the format to bring in young fans, and I do find the Khan audio drama a little boring. Everything else I love!

That's fair. Just I'm sure there's a lot of fans out there like me who want to have a physical copy of it in case it ever vanishes from podcast places.

Likewise I hope that once they've finished releasing all of Star Trek: Scouts on YouTube they'd put them onto a physical media release too so I can add it to my collection. Am I likely to ever watch it? Not to the extent I watch the rest of my collection but yes.

Maybe they'll release it commercially later on. A CD version, or digital download version? I think I'd buy it on CD.

I've never played a Zelda game, but if we're talking TV and movies, I've never seen any of The Godfather movies.

No kidding...
