Our goal is to save you time and money by sharing our thoughts and recommendations on which movies to race to theaters for, which to watch at home and those to actively avoid. What makes Alternate Ending different from other film podcasts? Well, we're not 5 dudes in a room talking about our passion for Fight Club and Braveheart. We're two dudes, and a lady, of which our tastes are quite varied. Rob, the film-school dropout, has seen an absurd amount of movies, and if we're being honest, rounds out our Fight Club fan-base.

Three old-school Trekkers getting into the franchise turned out to be more than we could fit into just one episode (or under four total hours), so we have here Alternate Ending's first two-part episode. In Part I, the trio goes over the TV side of Trek from its '60s cheese origins to its pinnacle of popularity in the 1990s and the decline of its fortunes in the early years of the 21st Century.
