Episode 120 – The Breaking Point

On this episode of Nerd & Tie, first we tackle the #ChangeTheChannel situation surrounding Channel Awesome, and follow it up with people in Nazi uniforms showing up at conventions (most recently Anime Matsuri).

Then we hit the big topic for the episode: when do you give up on a long running series you’ve been following? What makes you stop watching or reading? At what point do you write it off?

It’s a tough call to make, but sometimes you have to.

All Nerd & Tie Network Podcasts

We make a bunch of podcasts at Nerd & Tie, we know it’s hard to keep up with all of them. So, with that in mind, we’ve decided to make a feed of all of them (well minus two)!

Put on your biggest shoulder pads, your pointy ears and start being secretive because we’re looking at one of Star Trek’s dastardly duplicitous Romulans and we’ve recruited Celeste from the Nerd & Tie Network to divulge secrets!

In ‘The Enterprise Incident,’(TOS) we see Kirk do THE WORST Mission Impossible Mission ever while Spock gets his flirt on, then in ‘The Enemy,’ (TNG) we get to see one of SF’s greatest performers make the first of three appearances with Andreas Katsulas’ Commander Tomalak and Worf ABSOLUTELY kills a guy (and there was definitely a meeting) and then in ‘Eye of the Needle,’ (VOY) we discover a tiny wormhole with a Romulan at the end of it and the conversation gets about as mature as you definitely expect. But don’t worry, your secrets are safe with us, but only if you rate and review us!

Episodes Discussed: The Enterprise Incident (11:31), The Enemy (46:23) and ‘Eye of the Needle’ (01:17:35)

Talking Points Include: Finding joy despite the horrors, Witch of the Holy Mountain, Dark Shadows, Dan Da Daan, Kirk is just as bad at Metal Gear Solid as Miles, Rom-Face Kirk, Remastered TOS vs original effects TOS, Romulan (and I can’t believe I’m saying thing) Cuck Chairs, TNG’s strength’s as an ensemble show, Andreas Katsulas and an unexpected anime VA, the acting chops of LeVar Burton, Worf DEFINITELY killing a guy and everyone being respectful of his choices, Riker’s espresso habits, Harry Kim is definitely ‘quiet quitting his Starfleet career,’ where Voyager just squanders it’s story potential, the 80s Dungeons and Dragons cartoon, Do you think the world of Star Trek has spam mail? Space is REALLY BIG GUYS and thus We might be one of the few podcasts to ever mention ‘Journey into Space,’
