The Televerse #245- Finale talk and Star Trek Fantasy Crew Draft

Some big finales and plenty of other interesting TV keeps Noel and Kate busy this week. After some griping about The Amazing Race, we dive in with the comedies, including gender role-tastic episodes of The Carmichael Show and black-ish (thank you, writers!). Next up are the genre entries, including the return of Steven Universe, the penultimate The 100 of the season, and another DC TV roundup, and we round out the week with the dramas, including plenty of The Good Wife, Elementary, and Underground finale talk. Then in lieu of the DVD Shelf, we head to DePaul’s A Celebration of Star Trek, with a recording of Kate’s Star Trek Fantasy Crew Draft. Kate moderates as author Jody Lynn Nye, Jon Clarke of Caffeinated Comics, Sean Kelley of Improvised Star Trek, Caroline Siede of The A.V. Club, and writer Gordon Dymowski draft their ideal Star Trek crews, compiling a team out of the series regulars from Star Trek: TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise. Each panelist is tasked with a crisis to avert, and it’s up to the audience to decide whose lineup is the ultimate fantasy Star Trek crew. Music Featured: Sam Dillard’s Star Trek Theme Suite, “Where No One Has Gone Before”. Check out more of Sam’s work at his site, SamoStudios.com!

It’s the end of an era here at The Televerse. On the occasion of our fourth anniversary, and in the podcast’s final installment at Sound On Sight, cohost Simon Howell bids adieu in an epically long episode. First we look at a full week in TV. After a little reality talk—specifically, Stephen Amell’s turn in the ring at SummerSlam—we dive in with the comedies, previewing The Carmichael Show and looking at the premieres and pilots for Survivor’s Remorse, Blunt Talk, and Documentary Now!. Next up are the genre and drama offerings, including the much-maligned pilot for Fear The Walking Dead and penultimate episodes of Hannibal, Mr. Robot, and Show Me a Hero. After that, our yearly Make-You-Watch-athon is back, this time featuring in-depth looks at The Venture Bros. and underrated Cartoon Network (crystal) gem Steven Universe. A heartfelt thank you to all of our listeners over the past four years and to Simon, for being a wonderful cohost and critic, and an even better friend.
