May 2008 - Feedback from the initial release of
Integration...
Well who says producers don't listen to their show's
fans...
After careful consideration, we have decided to
release a commercial free version of Integration, replacing the original
release of the episode.
To give listeners a little insight into our reasons for including them
in the first place, I shall answer that question here and now:
The release was meant to instill a little nostalga
in to the episode, by including some of the commercials that ran during
the original run of Star Trek: The Next Generation back in 1987.
It was a nice idea, which, after comments in various
forums, and discussions with various members of the production crew has
now been removed. We hope listeners understand our original intentions
to give this episode an authentic TNG feeling.We |

May 2008 - Integration Part one is released 1987
style...
After 5 long months of production
Integration Part 1 is finally released. The producers would like
to firstly thank fans of the show for their continued interest during
the delay of this shows release.
As part of the episode's production, it was decided
to give this episode a truely retro feeling as if you were back there
in 1987 during the first season of TNG. We
hope you like the nostalga we have added to it.
Part two of this episode is in the final stages of production as is scheduled
for a june release.
As part of the release we have also taken the opportunity
to update the look of the website.
Finally, due to the release of Integration part
one we are pushing back the release of the exclusive Tim
Renshaw / James Doohan interview to Sunday
11th May 2008. |
