Happy 30th Birthday Star Trek: The Next Generation

On September 28th, 1987; Star Trek: The Next Generation first appeared on American screens and a cultural phenomenon was born. It had a profound effect on countless people worldwide and numbers among history's most iconic TV Shows.

It also means a lot to members of the Kneel Before Pod team so this anniversary couldn't be allowed to pass by without some form of tribute being paid to it. Craig and Nick engaged in a detailed discussion about their feelings on the show. The discussion ran so long that it had to be split into two parts that can be selected above.

Craig can be found on this very site, Nick can be found on some earlier podcasts but is primarily known for the Star Trek fan series Intrepid.

Recently Marvel released their newest entry in their massive Cinematic Universe in the form of Inhumans; an ABC TV show where the opening episodes debuted in IMAX theatres.

As with all things Marvel, we had an opinion on it and chose to have a discussion that we shared with you. As always there were tangents to the discussion such as how much of her hair can Medusa actually control and just what is the deal with Crystal?

Craig can be found on this very site and Chris can also be found on a Sunday between 12 and 3pm GMT live on Black Diamond FM as well as on many of the previous podcasts.

On 4th June 1982 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was released in American Cinemas. The UK release was a little later on 16th July but either way the film is 35 years old. To mark this occasion we decided to do an episode on it and talk about why we love it.

This probably won't be the last episode about this film but it's certainly the first and we manage to cover a range of things that relate to the film in some way as well as our collective love of what Nicholas Meyer did for the Star Trek franchise. As always listen and enjoy.

In 2008 and animated Spider-Man TV series started by the name of Spectacular Spider-Man. It was a well developed and respectful adaptation of the iconic Marvel character. It made such an impression on Craig and Aaron that they just had to record their thoughts on the show overall.

They cover everything from the characterisation of Peter Parker, the villains he encounters and the supporting characters that populate his world. Craig was able to make comparisons to the comics and Aaron was on hand to gush about how much better it is than many adult targeted TV shows that he watches.

Craig and Aaron can be found on this very site.

Recently history was made with the casting of the new Doctor in the long running science fiction series Doctor Who. It made history because the new Doctor is a woman and will be played by Broadchurch and Adult Life Skills actress Jodie Whittaker. Her casting marks a massive shift for the show and this led to a conversation between Craig and Kat taking place once there had been time to reflect on it.

The conversation covers their feelings on the casting and descends into speculation of what that could mean for the show.

Craig can all be found on this very site as well as being avid contributors to many of the podcasts. If you want to see more from Kat then head on over to her YouTube channel Cinescapist TV.
