EARTH STATION ONE EPISODE 192 – YOU’RE A WONDER, WONDER WOMAN

Valerie Perez in The Geek SeatThis week, the ESO crew turns their attention to the last (but certainly not least) of the DC Comics Trinity-- Wonder Woman. For 72 years, the Amazon Princess has been the leading lady of the superhero genre and soon she will be featured on the big screen for the first time. Mike Faber, Mike Gordon, the award-winning author Bobby Nash, the lost Legionnaire Darren Nowell, and the wonderful but perilous Valerie Perez share their thoughts of the character’s past, present, and future. Valerie also finds herself bound by something ever more revealing than the Lasso of Truth, the Geek Seat! In the Khan Report, Bobby and Mike rave about their experience at Farragut Fest 2013 and Rob Levy reports on this year’s Chicago TARDIS. Plus, the usual Rants, Raves, and Shout Outs!

BOBBY BEAMS DOWN TO FARRAGUT FEST 2013-- WITH PHOTOS!

Let's just file this photo under "Dream Come True." I was invited down to Farragut Fest in Kingsland, GA on December 7th for the Farragut Studios open house. Once a year, the cast and crew of Starship Farragut open their sets to the general public for tours and photos. These sets are the home of the web series Starship Farragut as well as Star Trek Continues, ExeterTrek, and Dreadnaught Dominion. These sets are almost identical reproductions of the sets used in filming the original Star Trek series back in the 1960's. Built in beautiful detail, these sets are the closest you can come to being there.

Opening shot from "Conspiracy of
Innocence" by Bobby NashThese sets are nothing short of extraordinary. I can't correctly put into words how I felt when the turbolift doors opened and I stepped onto the corridor of a Federation Starship like the ones I grew up watching on TV. It was magic, pure and simple.

My friend and Earth Station One podcast co-host, Mike Gordon and I made the trip down and we were both blown away. I borrowed a couple of Mike's photos for this set, but you can see his full set here.

As a nice bonus, I had the opportunity to watch a rough cut of the upcoming Starship Farragut episode, "Conspiracy of Innocence", which was written by me. That was a very cool moment, especially as I watched it with some of the show's stars and guest actors. It was so much fun and I can't wait to announce when the episode premieres in 2014.

I know you're tired of hearing me ramble and want to check out the photos so I'll be brief. Please visit Starship Farragut at www.starshipfarragut.com and check out some of their previous episodes.

I would like to also thank Michael Day, John Broughton, Michael Bednar, and the rest of the Farragut crew for making me feel right at home for the event. I'm ready to go back for another visit.
