Whew. After another in a seemingly endless series of all nighters, the final two episodes of Sentinels: Point of No Return dropped last night. The official finale "Forged Anew" and the up to now secret "Epilogue" that Chris and I are particularly proud of are officially done and out.
That's it. Over four months of constant work, late, nights, records, rerecords, rererecords sound editing, sound design, obsession, pleading, second guesses and... it's done. The original story we set out to tell is finished. The System's history has been laid out, the Fall of Saturn, dramatized, the new Sentinels team forged, the traitor revealed, the mysteries planted, the dark future ahead prophesied.
Whether the story continues, in any form, is in the hands of fate. But the story we meant to tell for now is told. Drop the curtain. Turn off the lights. Take a long walk home over dark and empty streets.
New projects always beckon, but this at least is done. And I hope done well. It exists. And it always shall as long as people stop to hear the tale again.
Such incredible talent. Such generous hearts. Creating art is an extraordinary way to spend a lifetime. I recommend it!
Now what is next for this podcast and how to listen!
The present plan is still for Chris and Alex to continue rescore each episode and those will be released as "remastered" versions when they can. Other work has delayed them a bit so we'll be patient and grateful when the episodes drop.
The YouTube channel will be updated with a few more interviews and remastered episodes as they drop.
A final (?) bonus extra with Charlie Woodward "Jack Armstrong" will drop sometime this week.
The best episode listening order (if you feel a bit bingey) is...

After my Turkey coma i thought i started the pod cast as we cleaned up the mess. two things came of this. first a very angry wife as i was to caught up in the story to help clean much. Second my x-mas list has three more items on it. One T-shirt that reads "Note to self: Do Not Mess with the Big Guy" with a photo of Jup with a smile. I my mind's eye he has the look of a Texas Oil Rigger as they it is the only type of person that comes to mind who has to go out of the way to be extra careful not break a 12 foot diameter steel pipe, scratching …
One crazy intense rollercoaster of a story in which imagination and storytelling are only 'limited' by a solid plotline with both credibility and sci-fi at it's core. The way in which we as audience are taken along the ride is very authentic and feels almost natural. Especially the episode of 'Falling Stars' in which the crew is being 'thrown' out a spaceship to play catch-up with the Phoenix had me both fixed in excitement, surprise and a good laugh at the same time. unbelievably detailed in both immediate surroundings/dialogs/sound/settings aswell as background lore but also strongly guided by the narrator with and excellent cast and great pace(!)
If I could make one suggestion it would be to replace a specific sound…
After spending hours on another sleepless night writing a screenplay that will probably never see the light the day (unless by some miracle I win the lottery) I found myself losing all motivation to go on. As I read the words on the page, I saw that my universe that I had created was lacking substance, and it tore me up. So Igave up.
After spending an hour trying to get some sleep I found myself tossing and turning unable to get the thought of my story dying out of my head. So I got up and decided to do some research, to try and find something to spur the imagination and fuel the desire to keep going. I was…
after years of the stuff google's ads think i like they showed me this. after my daughter taught me what a pod cast is and how to hear it i was hooked in two "shows.." is show the right word?. i don't use most any kind of social. i tried to pass your main page around best i could. i logged in to my MMO and shouted it in every main area like a proper space nerd. i hope you make it to TV cant wait to see the world you have painted. i'm on #7 and the binge is real. good luck!!
