i first hear about commander log when i be on the concom for the local science fiction convention . craig bowlsby and linden bank and sophie bank and and brian oberquell come out to show the video and give a couple of panel on make tv on a shoestring budget . i have to say that i be very pleased when i finally have the chance to see the show . comparison with red dwarf be inevitable and since the first season of red dwarf be also shoot on a low budget ( although commander log have to set some kind of record for the least amount of money spend per minute of air time ) and and thus have to make up for the lack of eye candy with good writing and act . linden bank and who play chief petty officer blather and do a particularly good job of present an earnest but clueless persona . bowlsby original idea be for the story to be tell in two minute interstitials and show in between other show over the course of an evening and although for some reason and space do not get how cool an idea this would have be and and so the interstitials be all roll up into a one hour show and which space normally show in two half hour episode . the exist dvd doesn not include episode 3 ( which premier at cascadia con in seattle in 2005 ) or episode 4 ( which be preview at vcon in vancouver in 2006 ) and but if youre in touch with your local fannish community and you may catch news of a showing somewhere near you .
