#13 was great and I enjoyed just about every second of this episode from beginning to end. This is how it should have been from the beginning and it pretty much makes up for all the previous missteps of fruit club and wandering about the streets of SF. Props to Dave and Glen for putting this thing together in Sarah's absence and hopefully there will be more of this to come in the future. This is what we have been waiting for and I'm glad it finally came.

I don't think Sarah had anything to do with this episode, she was home sick. We should be thanking Dave, he knows his stuff!

No need to make another thread. Just use the episode discussion thread.

I don't think we're up to that episode number just yet. :p

I wondered about the episode number myself, but I was too lazy to look. Thanks for the clarification.
I like this show. Good people, good information. It is fun to watch a new company find its way. I like the fact that the people involved are not worried about being candid, and can laugh at themselves.

Sarah Lane had nothing to do with this episode, watch it and you will see!
If it hadn't been for DR and was left to Sarah we would have yet another week with no Gazette.
Since sarah seems to be too busy/lost interest in the Gazette, I say get Dave on for a few more he is very interesting.

Yes, I noticed that. Not sure what the point is.

The point is, get other people involved since Sarah seems to be too busy or has lost interest in doing it, it's been about 6 weeks since her last one.
I'd say make it more of a hot-seat style show, give the TRS guys the camera for a day and let them film their own video diary, then give it to Diggnation, then to System to make their own "day in the life of" bits, do it for all the rev 3 shows and you have a good few months of shows in the bag.

Seeing that most of you just trash her efforts, why would she want to waste her time? I agree that this last one was fantastic.

I hate to say it, but after reading a lot of the threads on here, she's probably totally disappointed in what she's done for the show.
This is a totally different medium than TV, since we basically have a direct voice for our opinions, and a lot of people tend not to hold back their feelings. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't voice your dislike of something, but have a little tact. This is the woman's job. It's like having someone who's not your boss come out and tell you that you suck at your job.
Meanwhile, most of us who are posting on here haven't done TV or podcasting, and couldn't do any better.
After reading the comments about Fruit Club (which I liked btw), I really felt bad about it. It seemed to me that:
A) The studio was still under construction, so instead of repeating material, she did something fun
B), She got the whole Rev3 crew involved
C) Made it so that it was like something goofy happening behind the scenes.
Granted, Dave did an excellent job with the last ep of the Gazette, but Dave is a professional when it comes to what he was talking about. He was bringing trainees through. The technical side isn't her forte.
I'm sure that if she wasn't under the weather, she would've been interviewing Dave as he's taking the trainees through.
One thing I have to admit about Sarah's style is that she always tries to make the mundane, fun. IMO, she succeeds at it.
So, once she feels better and there's actually something to report, there will be another gazette.

You are 100% correct.

I totally agree with Kronos as well.

I'm feening for mor Sarah Lane ! She's awsome and I enjoy her segments of aimless wandering and discovering.
It's almost like spending hours on GTA curiously wandering instead of playing the game.
Sometimes a show does not have to me informative for entertainment.

You know what I'd like to see? More interaction between Sarah and Martin. It seems like he busts her balls all the time when they see eachother.
Maybe they can do a takeoff of the odd couple with those two.
