The Chronic Rift: In Review - To Go Boldly

We went a little longer than we intended, but it was a good discussion on the merits and faults of the Star Trek movie.  Tell us what you think and make sure you rate the episode.

L&O: Los Angeles

So, I've been making my way through the episodes, listening to what worked and what didn't, and making a list of sound clips for a promo I'm putting together.  In this episode, Keith reviewed L&O: CI and I just read in Entertainment Weekly that NBC is gearing up for another addition to the franchise with L&O: LA.  They must be desperate for content at ten now that Leno's saying bye bye.

Sherlock Holmes stories

I very much appreciated Keith's review of the annotated Sherlock Holmes stories, and I may end up getting them at some point.  But the volume on Keith's voice lept dropping out (as someone else noted) making it hard to hear sometimes.

so of course....

...after I record this review, but before it goes live, USA finally airs what was obviously supposed to be the season opener of CI, which actually showed Goren dealing with the fallout of last season's finale. Not in any great depth, but still....

My review might have been less harsh if they'd actually shown the first episode, y'know, first. Sigh.

(Oh, and In Plain Sight kicked seventeen kinds of ass this past Sunday, with Richard Schiff as a rabbi who finds people.)

Not Your Fault

Perhaps that should be a rant in a future episode, airing episodes in the order they are meant to be shown and the consequences of not doing it, citing Sliders and Firefly as examples.

maybe

It's funny, 95% of the time, it doesn't matter what order CI episodes are aired in, but this one case fell into the wrong 5%.

Not Bad

It wasn't a bad episode, but between Keith's volume dipping in and out and his constant interuptions of others or cutting them off altogether when they were making a point, it made the episode a little difficult to listen.
