Dom was absolutely correct when he said David just exudes gentlemanly behaviour and grace, he well and truly does! This interview was fantastic, (Dom, you did very well doing it solo so please make sure to give yourself props for that!) I loved hearing them discuss the acting business, their approaches to roles, and yes, even sports. (I don't follow soccer myself but their joint enthusiasm was very sweet, I hope they win so you two can be proud.) I love David mentioning that when he's around others, he tries to contribute to their joy and not their oppression. It was so refreshing, I wish more people would take that to heart, I'm sure the world would be a much gentler place if we all carried ourselves the way David does. The show is such a treat to watch every Sunday, and my partner and I love tuning in each week. Keep up the fantastic work! 😊🖖💗
What an amazing guest and interesting conversation between two gentlemen. Good job Dom. 🍻 I look forward to seeing Connor back and joining you both next week. 🖖❤
It's always great seeing David Ajala and I love the chat between him and Dom! David - you made Discovery truly wonderful with your character and I am SO fortunate to have met you at Mission: Chicago (with Grudge book in hand). You were charming in every way and as you said " From Hackney to Hollywood" you made it look gooooooood! Thank you @D-ConChamberPod ! ❤💛💙🤓🖖🏾
Thank you so much to everyone involved in bringing back a podcast featuring our most loved Star Trek alumni, such a wonderful experience being able to hear the voices and thoughts behind the characters.
Hahaaha two English men talking about Football (soccer for our American friends) Classic, good job Connor wasn't there he 'll be going WTF is going on. Great pod cast keep it up gents.
Catching up on this now (only just found the pod after 🤷🏼 happened to the last one)... I was wondering at what point they'd started talking about football 😂
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. David is a class act. Its seemed like he & Dom have known each other for years. Also I really want to go back & watch Desmonds again
Dom, you have truly become a great interviewer. I don't know what it is that changed, but since D-con came about, the interviews are so much better... so much more relaxed. SPS always seemed hectic with everyone talking over each other.
David brought SO MUCH to Discovery. Thinking back on all the different incarnations of TREK, there were many many episodes where the "villain of the week" was a "Booker type" that just fell flat with cliche and trope. It's David's depth and love and spirituality that sets Book apart. Great character, always surprising and with a twinkle in his eye. And as always, a great interview that uses TREK as a launch point, not a focus. Thank you!!!
I loved this interview tremendously! Acting, work ethic, Star Trek, culture, diversity and travel. What an honest and interesting conversation that the world needs more of truthfully. Thank you!
David Ajala is such a wonderful actor and a great guy. A couple of years ago, when I went to the Star Trek Mission: Chicago convention, I got the chance to meet quite a few hosts of several TH-cam channels and podcasts, such as Starfleet Boy, Totty from Trek On The Tube and Fatheree from Tex-Trek. After the convention ended, we were all making one last go 'round in the merch area and David walked right up to us, giving us all fist bumps handshakes and hugs. He thanked us all for watching and told us how much he appreciated our support; he stood there talking with us for a couple of minutes. I thought that was just so cool, he didn't have to do that! Tells you what a classy guy he is! Thanks Dom for another wonderful episode! Get well soon Connor! God bless you guys!
David Ajala is a lovely person with such a warm and human approach to life and acting. Good interview Dom. At times it was hard for me to figure out who was interviewing who as the discussion went back and forth. Anyone who is wondering about an acting career can learn from two actors such as these.
A great interview. Wonderful to hear some native languages spoken. Dom's mic, and the intro music, seemed a bit quiet in this one? Dom's stories never cease to amaze me. That Malaria story was just beyond Hollywood. They should really make a movie about his life!, called "Life, what a drag!"
I can relate so much to what you guys were saying. Working and training at a Renaissance faire is SO improv focused. The intense "yes, and" line of thought and performing in a public, active and distracting environment has produced some of the greatest entertainers I ever met.
Another great Star Trek interview. Too bad it had to be remote, Dominic feeds on personal contact. But it is still far, far better to have a remote convo than no convo.
Fabulous show! Thanks for sharing a little more of David with us! I know that Mr. Ajala takes each role into himself and gives his ultimate performance no matter the part... but he gave Booker life and breath and as a Trekkie... he had me bound the moment he appeared on screen. The beauty of being a part of the ST family is once we embrace you... we take ALL of you into our protective spear and support all that you do. So excited for seeing this! So to all of you the ever adventurous Connor despite his absence, Dom and David...the fandom celebrates ALL of who you are and share with the Universe. LLAP!
Connor is at his parents 60 th wedding anniversary in South Central Washington state . Connor was born and raised in Washington state . That is why he wasn't available for the taping of this episode.
@@davemcknight2198 Thanks for the clarification. I misunderstood as I settled in. This is good to know and actually is a perfect reason for his absence! Happy celebrations to Conner and his family. :D
If you guys ever interview Alex Kurtzman, can the vague threat of him being waterboarded be constantly suggested throughout the podcast? Thanks in advance.
D-Con is so great! Thanks for the opportunity to know David better 🥰
Dom flying solo almost made this one better (love you Conner!) but 2 Brits getting to talk some home truths was really deep and entertaining.
The captions helped. 🤣 I heard "she put us all in Pez" at 12:40
My hat off to the editor, despite being "just a zoom call", the episode still feels great.
Thank you David Ajala for being such an amazing part of Star Trek Discovery!! 💜🖖🪐💫✨

Dom thanks for your candor , and heart felt memories .
Good chat! Hoping Connor and Dom would be able to get Kate Mulgrew on the show seeing that Prodigy is deservedly getting a lot of love at the moment.
David was an awesome part of Disco

I've had the pleasure of meeting David at a few cons. He's soooo lovely. Can't wait to see him again in Vegas!
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. David is a class act. Its seemed like he & Dom have known each other for years.
Also I really want to go back & watch Desmonds again

Great addition to the trek family, loved his character, incredibly well performed.
Much love!
Thanks for the great interview! Love David! ❤ Great job, Dom! 👍🏻🖖🏻
Fabulous show, not surprisingly. Looking forward to next one! ✌

This was better than the Actors on Actors series; thanks so much to both you guys!
David you certainly made Discovery even more interesting and exciting when you joined on. ❤
Its always so fun to see Dom talk to another british person
Another great Star Trek interview. Too bad it had to be remote, Dominic feeds on personal contact. But it is still far, far better to have a remote convo than no convo.
What a good chat!
Cheers David Ajala for coming on the show .
Let's Go 🏴 England
Starting a campaign for Dom to be the next Dr Who to repair the damage done by the present team . You would make a great Dr Who Dom.
Great intervew love it love the 2 Brits together ❤️ it had a great feel wonderful congratulations team Dom 🎉
David Ajala acts in circles around most of the Discovery cast. He's seriously skilled, and I look forward to watching more of his work
Watching this with all the football chat the day after the final is bittersweet.
Watching this the day after the final is quite funny.
Loved the Desmond's and Death in Paradise stuff.
This was wonderful! Much to appreciate and I could feel the mutual admiration and love. Looking forward to seeing you both at STLV.

A fine edition to Star Trek. Great character, talking with animals and nature?! That's some cool s**t. Good luck david!
Thanks for saving Porthos. 😊
David, such an awesome guy and Book is just one of my favorites, I hope we see him again in Trek.
He was GREAT on the cruise this year I oved talking with him.
My favourite character in Disco ❤🤗. Great chat 👍 🦘🦘
This was brilliant - and it was done by 'zoom'.
Death in Paradise is excellent!
I love this podcast
I remember Desmond's loved that show
Pickleball! Why is it always Pickleball?!
If you guys ever interview Alex Kurtzman, can the vague threat of him being waterboarded be constantly suggested throughout the podcast? Thanks in advance.
🙂🖖🏻♥️
Don't forget to SMASH THE LIKE!
o yea dom was in Desmond ... Goodness me i forgot about that
The Paramount deal went through, after all.
Wasn't a fan of Discovery, David crushed his role tbough. Seems a thoroughly nice bloke.
dom you look 40
