But I think it would be great if he could have more restraint when a guest is in the middle of telling something interesting. Love your channel and great job as always guys!

      I think its cultural. Irish and English people talk on top of each other and jump in and put with jokes and slaggings. It's not really interrupting when it's a back and forth the way this is. I find the format great very much like a gang of friends having the chats

    • @phily8093
      @phily8093 Рік тому +8

      @rmkf1982 It really isnt. I'm English and I find it incredibly rude, and I have no idea why people keep saying this. I have experienced egotists who just can't wait to talk, but they are not popular. It is not common, and it's a human trait in some people, and there are certainly lots of loud mouthed Americans that love the sound of their own voice (but again I'm not saying all or most). There is nothing British about it, and I find it highly annoying.

    Doms done a backslide this week but Bob was good at ignoring him and continuing (though that was painfully awkward at times).
    The issue this week was he asked too many question while Bob was still speaking. He needs to reduce this to 1 in 4 times he is currently.
    Ask himself
    Does it need to be said?
    Does it need to be said now?
    Does it need to be said by me?

    "You are my sunshine" is such an apt song for the Doctor and Seven.

    This is a really great podcast and I'm glad I found it. It would be nice to see an appearance with Robert if there is a future Star Trek show with Jeri Ryan . Surely by now , as she's Captain of the Enterprise G , she would be able to have certain requests granted , and having her old Doctor would be a great addition. By now he could have his own android body and take up a post teaching at Starfleet Medical but would be the personal physician of Seven since he knows her best , just a thought. The Doctor was always a great character and it was a real treat to see his evolvement over time , and he had a great singing voice in all of the opera scenes.
    I wonder if the actors ever come to the page with their interviews and read the comments . I hope so because I have a great story. I'm in the medical field and during one of my training sessions I had an opportunity to mention the Doctor.
    For those who may not be familiar with what happens in a CPR certification course , when you're administering CPR , at some point you are to call out to someone and tell them to activate the EMS , the emergency medical system, and someone uses the phone or radio to call for help and brings the AED to you . Well during one of my sessions, I'm doing compressions on the CPR mannequin and I call out " activate the EMH “ , and had a few of the students stare at me , then I said “ Activate the ECH “ . A co-worker who knew what I was talking about said to the students “ well, go activate alarm and bring us the AED , you're wasting time , don't you understand the acronyms? “ - the students were too nervous of failing to admit that they didn't understand those acronyms. We all had a good laugh afterwards.
    And if by chance the actors do come here to read the comments , I'd like to say to Robert - I saw The Howling in the theatre when I was a child and , I expect that you've heard all of this before , but your performance , your portrayal of Eddie was terrifying. I feel that The Howling is absolutely the best werewolf film I've ever seen , the creatures are the most realistic and terrifying of any werewolf film , and the transformation scene was amazing. Real special effects , none of this CGI as they do today . I've seen the cast interviews and it was fascinating to learn and see the behind the scenes footage of how that was made. I was genuinely frightened ( that's a good thing because I love realistic films ) for months after seeing that.
    Also , for the hosts of the podcast , thank you for doing this. Personally I thought Enterprise was a great programme and have seen the entire series a few times. The episode “ Shuttlepod One “ was one of my favourites , it was a great storyline with great dramatic acting , well done. The other episode with you two on Risa being lured into the wine cellar by two gorgeous women who turned out to be shape shifting aliens , then being robbed and having your clothes stolen was a laugh, that must have been quite a story to explain to the captain, and for your officer logs . It was refreshing to see something new , well something “ before “ the original series and next generation - to see the beginning of Starfleet, the Federation , and the earlier, less advanced ships . It would have been ( and will be in the future ) quite a challenge to live aboard a space craft with new technologies , primitive ships and seeing the progress of science and exploration. True it would be nice to have a Galaxy or Sovereign class ship , but I liked the simplicity of the NX class , and it would have been great to see more seasons and advances . To comment on something that was mentioned in an earlier podcast, about Connor going for a colonoscopy - It would have been a great candid camera episode if he were in the exam room , talking to the doctor , then suddenly hearing the snap of rubber gloves , then a familiar voice and turning around to see John Billingsley , in full Phlox costume and seeing that huge Phlox grin and him saying something about “ Optimism” . Enterprise was cancelled and it should have lasted several more seasons, at least until the Constitution Enterprise was either built , or in the plans. The crew would have been in their late years by then . Great podcast and I look forward to what's in store.

    Excellent interview as always, everyone!! I like Mr. Picardo's storytelling style, complete with voices, accents, impromptu singing, and how he practically roasts his EMH character. His read on the Holographic Doctor makes him sound quite a lot like Major Winchester from M*A*S*H, another erudite "fancy pants" physician possessed of an inexhaustible vocabulary and a flair for hyperbole, who also spent much of his tenure completely at the mercy of his less-than-favorable surroundings, all of which made both characters great fun to watch in action. I also enjoyed learning that Mr. Picardo drew some from Jonathan Harris' scheming, melodramatic portrayal of Doctor Smith on "Lost in Space", another sci-fi show I grew up loving. My only bone of contention with this episode is that when Mr. Picardo goes to demonstrate the EMH's first ever on-air "smile", an editing choice to cut away from his demonstration meant we only got to see your reactions. After he said, "he goes like THIS...", I was left saying, "Wait, he goes like WHAT?" I particularly love the story he told elsewhere about how he talked his way onto "Star Trek: First Contact" simply by asking "clarification" questions. I enjoyed his turn as everybody's mentor in the NCIS 3-show crossover, and I'm looking forward to either watching or re-watching some of his other work as well, particularly his life-imitating-art turn on "Schooled". Great stuff!!

    By far the most interesting character, & character arc, in all of Voyager. Jeri Ryans' 7 of 9 being the 2nd. And theres an episode of Voyager, in which the Dr uses a pack of great burden to represent the holo-emiter , in a play he was writing, I find it a great metaphor for the cell-phone these days. Imo, best characters & arcs in all Star Trek: Worf & Spok & 7, & I'd have The Doctor up there with them; above all others.

    I really felt for Robert when he spoke about alternating accents. I used to drive taxis and would often greet my passengers with whatever accent (fake, of course, though hopefully to an acceptable standard) tickled my whimsy that night. This went on for years with no harm done, until one night I tried my German accent. One can imagine my shock and terror when my passengers climbed into the taxi, talking among themselves, using much better versions of the accent I had just used. I knew my only option was to come clean about the whole thing, and thankfully, despite their reputation, they saw the humour in the situation and laughed along with me.

    Robert Picardo is such a revelation. Most (if not all) the Star Trek actors (casts and guests) of whatever series, are each wonderful gifted revelations. And each is interesting. They have usually led such interesting lives. When I first learned about the Shuttlepod show, I thought it would be boring. Actors interviewing actors about acting? Snooze... However, as I got into it. An episode finishes and I'm still awake! And I finished the show. Laughed at the jokes (yup, usually got it). Understood the references and related to most of the experiences. This was another one. Though I did enjoy the character of the holographic EMH and the acting chops of Robert Picardo. I luv that term of his "resting bitch face" LOL! His kids called it. Great! Thanks for this.🖖
