160
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.000
understand that your incomparable steaks and wine could be found there,

161
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.919
so always makes my list if you've got that to offer.

162
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:30.879
Moving over to the continent to hiltip Brook in Sweden,

163
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.759
our pal Jan Leuenius is there. Forgive my mispronunciation if

164
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.679
that is the case, Yon, but wonderful dear from you

165
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:42.600
Nordic countries. I believe our own friend Eric was recently

166
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.240
in that part of the world. Eric, were you wreaking

167
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:46.919
havoc in Hiltebrook at all?

168
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.480
I was not in Hiltebrook. I was simply in the

169
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.360
great city of Stockholm, which was one of my favorite destinations.

170
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.200
And I love Swedish culture and food. I have to

171
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.879
tell you.

172
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.039
You know, while you were gone, we did have a

173
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.679
kind of a betting pool here going on the number

174
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.279
of Trek talking business cards that you left various urinals

175
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:10.720
throughout Scandinavia. I said, thirty. Did you get close to thirty?

176
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.679
You know I should accounted them. I can tell you

177
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.039
that the stack was about three quarters of an inch high,

178
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:21.480
so that adapt too. They were liberally applied to many areas,

179
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.200
not just the journals, but many other areas throughout all

180
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:24.559
of Europe.

181
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:29.639
You know, can only imagine the mind boggles, Well, Scandinavias

182
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.600
if you see those trek talking cards there, you know

183
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:34.679
is responsible There you go. He might have had to

184
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:40.000
swim to get there. But also from Iceland, Parla, Doug Bartar,

185
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.039
here go, jos here is saying hello, so Parala. That

186
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.799
is wonderful to know you're out there. I once was

187
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.240
in Iceland for a grand total of about two hours

188
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.480
on a refueling trip as a small child. But I've

189
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.399
never had a chance to actually explore the island. I

190
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.759
want to get back there and do it justice. A

191
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:59.080
lot of friends of vacation there send back these ludicrously

192
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.840
incredible pictures, so I think I'm missing out. Need to

193
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.240
go back as an adult Perla, so you know, do

194
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.080
whatever you can to arrange things from my inevitable return

195
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.519
and back to the continent yet again, because there's no

196
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.240
rhyme or reason how we do this, which sort of

197
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:20.200
randomly for darksies and to hogsbing in Bavaria, Germany, Florian

198
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:23.480
KOLBERTI is saying hello, So Florian, how wonderful dear from you.

199
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.159
I hope things are good, you know, I'm I just

200
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.519
can't help but notice from some various bits of signage

201
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:34.080
in my own neighborhood that we are spitting distance maybe

202
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.759
a month away from Octoberfest, because of course that happens

203
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:41.039
in September, not October, as those ale aficionados amongst me

204
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.360
may know. So I hope that's happening for you in Bavaria.

205
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.559
The king of all octoberfests would be Eric's been there?

206
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:49.919
Having you, Eric, You've done the thing.

207
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:53.759
I have not yet been to Germany. That is a

208
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:55.360
place that I haven't made it to yet. I do

209
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.720
have family roots there and that's kind of next on

210
00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.240
the list.

211
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.559
I can see you there man hoisting a you know, flagging,

212
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.799
So okay, they want to make that happen road show.

213
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.279
I will say that I've hoisted many a flagon at

214
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.320
American october Fest status for.

215
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:17.360
Sure, So say we all there, we are fantastic. Well,

216
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.360
it's great to see that we have such an international

217
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:24.480
contingent of trek and sci fi fans represented every week.

218
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.159
So lovely to hear from everyone. And again, thanks for

219
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:33.240
putting up if we misspronunciation mispronunciati five your home longitudinal course,

220
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:40.759
wod job. We removed more use from words than any

221
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.120
other country owner. Color used to have.

222
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.840
Gained a little bit of credibility back.

223
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.919
I do know that in Iceland they have Icelandic elves

224
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:54.440
and they take those elves very seriously.

225
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:56.919
They will divert did.

226
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.919
You say el Did you say I last icelandic l

227
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.360
L like you.

228
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:07.200
Yes, they will. They will divert like construction projects.

229
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.600
They will divert roads, which I love.

230
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.120
I love that so much. Yeah, wow, I gotta have to.

231
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:15.639
Look into this.

232
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.159
You definitely want to know about the l's before you go.

233
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:21.919
Okay, good. I'm a big believer in mythical entities. So

234
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.360
there you have it. You know, depending on how organized

235
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:34.159
their support system is, will leave it at back, say

236
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:41.559
a lot without saying it's amazing. All right, let's pass

237
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.039
things on to shut me up and we'll have Uncle

238
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:53.600
Jim take over. Thank God, audience, you're welcome.

239
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.279
So I will tell you Eric, you weren't here to

240
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.279
hear this story. But when I was in the hospital

241
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.639
recovering from my mother attack, they told me how to

242
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.080
get up the walk and I had to drive my

243
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:16.200
I ventured down the hallway and a pastoral and I

244
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.960
was excited. I went in and used the math. I

245
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:28.519
left a truck talking card in the hospital. So whoever

246
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:32.600
picked up out there in New Hampshire, that was for yours, truly,

247
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:33.360
Uncle Jim.

248
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:36.279
I could have sworn you were gonna tell me you

249
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.519
walked down John Deln.

250
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:43.919
That's only that's that's.

251
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.559
I hate to be a spoiler because this is Robbie,

252
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.039
something that you know should have waited for, like, you know,

253
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:57.120
a later date on you know, the Rate of Future podcast.

254
00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:59.600
But that very card, from that very urinal I just

255
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:08.399
bought bay soon it was the condition was listed as used.

256
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:14.279
Is that.

257
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.840
Anyhow when it shows up, I'll be sure to present

258
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:16.320
on the.

259
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:18.600
Yeah, you're gonna laminate it.

260
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:29.840
Laminated. I gotta touch it. Oh god, that's just just yeah,

261
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.519
we'll leave it. You know what. Gosh, I'm sorry. Hold

262
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.480

263
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.000
It is.

264
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.879
It's a little it is. It is as advertised used.

265
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.000
But wow, okay.

266
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.960

00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:16.079
I love that.

305
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:21.359
I just you are you did the most incredible job

306
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:24.799
with that video that I could. I couldn't have asked

307
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:28.200
for a better video than that.

308
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:32.359
Okay, what I love is just Frog is just you know,

309
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:34.400
because who doesn't love him?

310
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:39.599
Yeah, that's perfect. Okay, So Eric, you're ready to do

311
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:40.000
a pall.

312
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.200
Yeah, sure, it has been a little I think I

313
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:45.839
can read it though luckily I have not lost those

314
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:50.880
skills despite trying to interpret many different Scandadavian languages. That is,

315
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:54.319
over the last few weeks. Would you like to see

316
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.839
a Lower Decks movie? And this, You know, it's no

317
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.720
surprise to me that ninety one percent people who responded

318
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:05.039
our polls of course like duh, yeah, of course we

319
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.759
want to see it, and not somehow nine percent said no.

320
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:12.200
All I can figure is that only what ten people

321
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:14.240
ten point want?

322
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:14.480
No?

323
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.400
That doesn't work out. Yeah, anyway, not very many people

324
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.400
must have said no, is what I'm trying to say.

325
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:24.279
But yeah, ninety one percent. So I think a Lower

326
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:27.359
Decks would be great as a movie. You know, they

327
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:29.319
would if they if they did a good job of it,

328
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.599
which I think they would, they would keep it concise,

329
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.160
they would have a good story. They would actually take

330
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:36.359
the characters and move them forward just a little bit,

331
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.680
because that's one of the things that can kind of

332
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:39.839
happen is you sort of end up with the uh, Okay,

333
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:41.319
we just had a movie and everybody's in the same

334
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:43.759
place at the end of it that they were. And

335
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:46.160
because Star Trek has a legacy of not doing that,

336
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.279
they should do that in a lower Decks movie and

337
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.559
make those characters end up somewhere else at the end

338
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:51.599
of the movie, if they ever made.

339
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:57.880
Let's hope that the new mobiles over the paramall I

340
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:02.000
have half a brain and decide to do something. But

341
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:08.759
we'll see what happens. So that's our poll for this week.

342
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:10.920
You guys can vote on the poles heading over our

343
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.599
Facebook from Talking and Beyond and I'll vote. There's all

344
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:17.000
kinds of questions and things there that that I throw

345
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:20.119
out there at you guys. All right, guys, now, Charles

346
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.640
is going to jump in with some cadet training.

347
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:32.559
Okay, thank you, Uncle Jim. And if people still wonder

348
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:36.720
what cadet training is. These are different Easter eggs and

349
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.519
stuff I find the episode this time. There's a lot

350
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:44.079
more in just Easter eggs that occurred in this episode.

351
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.640
Let's start off with where one place we could have

352
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:57.319
visited and TNNG happens holiday back in season three is

353
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:01.079
that's where we first learned about Riza and the vacation

354
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:07.079
planet that Risa is. And if you looked real closely,

355
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:10.200
we got a little bit of the animated series in

356
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:16.319
there when we saw advertisement for the planet and saw

357
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:19.640
animated versions of Spock and ericson.

358
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:22.880
I thought that was a nice little catch.

359
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:27.640
And then we could always say the original series, the

360
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:34.119
animated series DS nine Discovery because we saw a trible

361
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.960
I know David got excited because he saw a triple

362
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:47.839
ts and lower decks. We're both places we got to

363
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:52.440
see them, Mogtu and Starfleet Academy. We got to see

364
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.480
the Magattu costume, which I'm wondering if it was reeslifted

365
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.160
in this episode.

366
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:01.640
It was actually reused from that episode.

367
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:11.000
DNG relics Data says it's green, referencing a green Scotch

368
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:16.119
with Scotty.

369
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:16.480
Ts. Surely.

370
00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:21.759
Season one is another example of a strange Surely where

371
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.079
they get to see different.

372
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:26.880
Different characters appear.

373
00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:30.200
I think there were more mirages, but we saw a

374
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:37.119
rabbit and somebody trying to fight Kirk Tos during the

375
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:42.279
Babel in season two where somebody did attempt to sabotage.

376
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:48.839
At Peace Treaty and tos and Naked Time.

377
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:55.079
Season one, one of the occasuns where Kirk Slapspot and

378
00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:01.079
brings them back to his senses. See Paul there, I

379
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:04.000
think he just fight at the fighting at the bit rate?

380
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:06.400
Is it there? And say, okay, can we talk about

381
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:07.599
this episode now?

382
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.799
Please get that review over.

383
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:13.799
With Charles before thank you Charles. Before we do, I

384
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:17.440
do need to add a small asterisk to our get

385
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:21.759
a training reference of It's Green. That Relics episode is

386
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:24.759
actually the second time that's been sent because originally it

387
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:28.640
was an original series reference from the excellent episode by

388
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:32.759
any other Name where Scotty's trying to get the the

389
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:37.240
Kelvin's drunk to lower their make them pray to their inhibition.

390
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:38.920
So I always like to every whenever we go all

391
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.920
the way back to the original series, it must be done.

392
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.400
So this is actually the third It's Green reference that

393
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:48.440
I know of in sounds good history. So just and

394
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.599
I am gonna just say this segment of yours has

395
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:55.240
been going on for a long time. Charles Cadet training

396
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:58.200
needs a theme, Saw and I think now that Eric's back,

397
00:24:58.240 --> 00:24:59.000
we need to work on that.

398
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.519
We need to have any Yeah, Eric, about that.

399
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.119
Seventy game shows seventies.

400
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:11.039
I thought he was gonna do nineties metal in the

401
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:12.319
Shatner style.

402
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.480
And you know, and we can dress you up in

403
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.160
like with a you know, academic pointed hat kind of

404
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:19.720
a thing, you know, like a mortarboard. I think that

405
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:20.240
would be great.

406
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:23.079
Well, actually, coincidentally, I think I just have one of

407
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:24.759
those right here.

408
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:30.720
I love it when a plan comes together. So I

409
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.240
believe we're not talking about the Griffin incident, So I

410
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:35.519
will ignore what it says right there, and I will

411
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:37.559
instead talk about the episode. We all here to talk

412
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:39.880
about what I believe is Episode three is for human

413
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:42.440
best Friends. I'm just gonna do a very brief recap

414
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:44.839
because I'm not really sure how I want to approach this,

415
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:49.559
Frank Frankly, Brent, though it should be interesting, a very

416
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:53.839
unusual episode, to be sure. PI takes the very stressed,

417
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:59.720
overworked senior crew for Surely on a pleasure planet named Cessnar.

418
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.319
And there is a atmosphere on this planet that is

419
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:10.519
naturally intoxicating, leaving Engineer Scott and helmsman Eric Ortegas with amnesia,

420
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:13.480
taking them on a wild kind of dare I say,

421
00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:17.799
hangover style mission to retrace their steps help sober up

422
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:21.759
before high stakes peace negotiations can ensue. So what we

423
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.079
have here basically is en route to these very crucial

424
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:28.759
piece dogs Alpha Shift, which seems kind of to me

425
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:32.039
like almost like a lower Decks reference, right, it could

426
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:34.680
be off at this planet. It's kind of a tech

427
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:39.039
free resort planet, where again the atmosphere is designed to,

428
00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:41.759
you know, naturally loosens everyone up when you go there.

429
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:46.039
And so things begin where Scotty and Artegis wake up

430
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.279
shockingly with no memory of the previous day, a bunch

431
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:54.119
of chaotic references and tools everywhere, and this mystery that

432
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:56.480
they have to figure out what the hell happened before

433
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.279
these diplomatic arrivals that are of course coming sooner than

434
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:02.240
want to expected them to, because of course they are,

435
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.640
so they're trying to track down. They're very let's just

436
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:12.960
say relaxed. Fellow crewmates, including a very partying Uvura, was

437
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:16.440
on a journey doctor Mabenga who's working behind a bar,

438
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:21.839
and Una who is doing klingon karaoke and track every day.

439
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:25.200
They can't remember where they left their shuttle. Dude, I'm

440
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.279
not sure what that might remind me of. It seems

441
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:29.799
like it might remind me of something of the animal's

442
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:34.480
motion picture history of a missing vehicle, but I'm not sure. Dude.

443
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:38.799
Oh noow Ortegas and Scotti are bickering, and they're in

444
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.680
this whole frenemies kind of thing, right, but they end

445
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.799
up kind of moving into forest apologies, and Ouvor is

446
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:47.880
really not helping at all. She just wants to sort

447
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:50.319
of be the door guardian of this party she's throwing,

448
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:52.240
and they just want to get their equipment back, and

449
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.160
so eventually I'm just going to jump to the chase. Here.

450
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:58.319
They fix a shuttle and uncover a video log of

451
00:27:58.319 --> 00:28:01.759
their own drunken cells explaining this mess, allowing them to bond,

452
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.440
clear away past resentments, and get back in time to

453
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:12.359
deal with these updight alien diplomats while Captain Pike has

454
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.000
what seemed to me looked like a Mike Tyson tattoo

455
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:18.359
on his face, but I could be wrong. Anyhow, that's

456
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.119
a lot of what happened here. I'm happy to come

457
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:23.279
back later and say more if you'd like to hear

458
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.880
more of my thoughts on this, But that's just basically

459
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:31.799
the recap there. Oh and it's the diplomats are referred

460
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:34.240
to as the Rhodaxians. I think we're running out of

461
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:38.839
inventive character names in the Federation possibly, But anyhow, that's

462
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:42.440
kind of a quick recap there. I'm sure there's a

463
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:44.680
lot more to discuss, and I'm anxious to hear what

464
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:48.599
all of our other trexperts have to say about this episode. However,

465
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:51.960
before we do that, here at Trek talking and beyond

466
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:55.519
the pinnacle of our pyramid, is the fans right? So

467
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.200
Eric is kind enough to interpret some of the wild

468
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:03.799
ramblings enthusiastic keyboard hammering this that our fans share with us.

469
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:04.799
Is that right, Eric?

470
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:08.359
It is absolutely true, Paul. I love to hear what

471
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:11.200
the minions have to say about things, because really that

472
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:14.359
is the pulse of Star Trek and the pulse of

473
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:17.839
our podcast. So thank you for being our pulse, because

474
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.039
without you we have no pulse and be dead.

475
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:22.640
Yeah.

476
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:30.559
Thanks, thanks people. Sorry, I'm just getting a little bit,

477
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:31.960
you know.

478
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:34.559
I hear that when you go to Scandinavian countries there

479
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.039
is a darkness that descends on people, and apparently that's

480
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:37.400
a good I.

481
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:39.240
Can feel it, man, I can still feel.

482
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:46.559
It, all right.

483
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:50.039
That's okay, the happiest on Earth. I don't know.

484
00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:53.960
It could have gone to Finland, but whatever, I went there.

485
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:56.480
Okay, all right, mind?

486
00:29:58.599 --> 00:29:59.720
Did you bring some business?

487
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:02.680
I put them in all five countries. I went to

488
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:05.599
five countries and five cities over two weeks, and I

489
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:11.759
left business cards everywhere. I'm telling you, okay, yes, So

490
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:14.519
our fans would love to share their opinions because they

491
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:19.880
are our minions. And Joe Sittig suspicions last name. Are

492
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:22.599
you related at all? I don't know, but Joe Sittig

493
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:25.839
says an eight. It was like a live action lower decks.

494
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:29.319
It's annoying how this whole cast is good at everything.

495
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:35.519
Thanks Joe. Juan Jakabo Yarce Valiz said eight. It was

496
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:39.359
great and funny, but the ending holds it back. Otherwise great,

497
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:42.880
Ellen Silber said, I read it a six. I like

498
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:46.319
some of the elements, like the klingon karaoke love songs

499
00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:48.960
and the discord between the pilot and the engineer. However,

500
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:52.000
it had a convoluted plot and there was no cohesion

501
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.160
between the separate elements. This might have made a few

502
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:58.200
decent episodes without being mashed together like this. I wish

503
00:30:58.359 --> 00:31:01.200
there had been better judgment as to what should have

504
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:05.400
been put together. Thanks Ellen. Debbie Cole said, I'm gonna

505
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:08.119
give it a seven point five. I loved the Scotti

506
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:11.839
Ortega interaction and UNA's Klingon song was great. I want

507
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:14.759
to be in the audience. And the Kirk Spock was

508
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:18.920
on track for future friendship development. We're gonna talk about that, Debbie.

509
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.640
I'm an old Trekker started September nineteen sixty six, and

510
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:25.559
I've watched every episode of Every Trek except section thirty

511
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:28.880
one question mark that was not track. Thanks Debbie. I

512
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:30.559
wonder what you thought of episode two. I would have

513
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:32.319
loved to have heard whether that was trak or not

514
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:36.400
for you. Kitty Wilford said, wasn't the best, but some

515
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.400
definitely some great character moments one point five as well,

516
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:44.079
Old Tricky as well. Jose Lopez six not just very

517
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:49.720
trek what a shame? Spacey, Steph maybe Steph Spacey loved

518
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:55.519
it eight whatever they were on. I want some Yeah,

519
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:58.720
sal Ricci six point five for me, but I try

520
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:01.440
to keep it in perspective. All the TOS episodes were

521
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:05.240
nines and tens either. Thanks sal for injecting some reason

522
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:10.400
into this whole reading system. Pamela Lochran said four. I'm

523
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:14.759
afraid there were some funny moments, and I like the

524
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:17.799
ending between Eric and Scotty, but too much irritated mean

525
00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:21.480
e g Uhura and Pike. I think we may hear

526
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:24.559
more about that from some of our tr experts as well. Pamela,

527
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:28.000
thank you. And Virgil Cruz said eight. I really enjoyed

528
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:31.200
it as a sixty year Treky follower, yep, from the beginning.

529
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:34.400
I love the exploration of the universe and all it's possibilities.

530
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:37.559
My wife said, if this Kirk is gonna be is

531
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:42.119
going to do a beefcake scene like Satner, that he

532
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:43.240
needs to buff.

533
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:44.119
Up a bit out.

534
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:50.640
Oh well, you know, I mean nobody wants to see. Well,

535
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:55.759
I shouldn't say that, Thanks Virgil. Nancy Lucia Lopez at

536
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:58.119
eight point five. I always rate the episodes high because

537
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:01.319
I've enjoyed all of them about horror episodes, but I

538
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:04.839
did appreciate how well it was the episode was made,

539
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.599
how well the episode had made. I think. For the

540
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.960
latest episode, I was delighted from the moment they opened

541
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:15.079
the should door and everything went psychedelic. Hearing Una singing

542
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:18.559
Klingon was the icing on the proverbial cake. Having watched

543
00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:23.240
TOOS when it originally aired than dozens of times more,

544
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:27.039
I loved the spot Kirk interaction. Personally, I have enjoyed

545
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:29.400
that Strange New Worlds has been pushing the limits to

546
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.440
create something new and fun. I miss this. I will

547
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:36.599
miss this show when it is gone. Mark Harvey said

548
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:40.000
a one I knew four minutes in it was gonna

549
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:43.559
be a shit show. What a racist episode making the

550
00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.720
black chick a pothead, not to mention there was no

551
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:50.480
plot and the show went in one thousand different directions,

552
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:55.160
such a shame after last week's winner and then some

553
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:59.640
random characters of x's and z's and c's. Thanks Mark

554
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:05.599
and Angie rebel Booth said, I give it eight cactuses

555
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:11.440
and that gives us a rounded fan score of six

556
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.880
point eight. That is not going to win any awards,

557
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:18.000
but it is not in the pooper that as far

558
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:22.119
as I can uh tell so far, so I don't

559
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:23.559
know what do you guys think.

560
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:32.239
I loved her. I love the cactus rating too. Yeah,

561
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:35.519
yeah again, if you guys want your opinions to be

562
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.199
heard on the show. Go to Trock Talking and Beyond

563
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:41.119
on Facebook and tell it. In fact, tomorrow morning at

564
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:44.199
around eleven o'clock, I'll have that question up for the

565
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:49.079
episode that's on tonight. So like, over there, tell us.

566
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:50.679
Who wants to start us?

567
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:52.679
You haven't have been around, you haven't.

568
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:52.840
Been here in.

569
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:59.840
Okay, Yeah, I can definitely get started. So yeah, so

570
00:34:59.880 --> 00:35:03.039
I I guess for me. You know, I was away

571
00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:04.760
for a couple of weeks, and then when I came

572
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:08.880
back I quickly watched episodes two and three in a

573
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:11.840
back to back sort of way. So I will say

574
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:14.159
that right from the get go I suffered from a

575
00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:18.199
little bit of what I'll call like episode whiplash, where

576
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.880
I was in one state of mind in one episode

577
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:26.840
and then quickly like whipped into another one. That may

578
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:30.239
have contributed to some of the reason that I kind

579
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:33.000
of enjoyed this episode. I'll give you my final rating

580
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:36.239
at the end here. But of course, you know, right

581
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:38.199
from the get go, it's pretty obvious that it's just

582
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:43.320
a everybody gets drunk and Shenanigans ensues kind of episode.

583
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:47.639
It immediately kind of brought to mine the Naked Now

584
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:51.199
from Next Generation, which not many people really like. I

585
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:54.639
don't really like either. I think there's a DS nine

586
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:59.360
episode where everybody's kind of drunk too. But what I

587
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:02.199
will say is that they had kind of already set

588
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:07.360
up this interaction between Ortegas and Scotty in previous episodes,

589
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:11.519
and I thought this episode was a good kind of

590
00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:16.320
backdrop for them to be able to resolve their issues,

591
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:20.119
you know. I mean, I think we all sort of

592
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:24.079
either know or like overtly talk about how you know,

593
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:27.079
things like alcohol or whatever can be social lubricants. They

594
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:33.719
can bring people closer together when natural kind of artificially

595
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:37.639
made natural artificially made barriers that people think up to

596
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:40.039
put between themselves kind of come up and get in

597
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:41.960
the way of us just being human beings and kind

598
00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:44.559
of enjoying each other's company. And so I thought this

599
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:49.039
episode was like like the whole like everybody's you know,

600
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.480
drunken high thing. I thought was a great backdrop to

601
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:55.719
tell the Ortegas and Scotty story. And I liked kind

602
00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:57.719
of where they ended up at the end of things.

603
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:00.559
Did they waste a lot of time like recovering tree

604
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:02.239
quarters that they broke right away?

605
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:02.840
Yeah?

606
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:04.599
Did they waste a lot of time? Just sort of

607
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:08.119
walking around the ship and goofy things are happening, yes,

608
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:10.960
but in the end their character movement was kind of

609
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:16.280
worth it for me, So I like that. I will

610
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:22.880
say that it kind of related to that. I can

611
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.360
tell that Strange New Worlds has lost my trust a

612
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:28.320
little bit because I was worried the entire time I

613
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:30.840
was watching the episode that they were going to try

614
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:33.440
and shoehorn in some kind of romantic thing in between them.

615
00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:37.119
I'm super glad that they didn't, but but the fact

616
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:39.519
that I was worried about it tells me that I

617
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:42.840
don't trust the writers right now. Whereas, like in previous

618
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:44.800
iterations of Star Trek, I may have said they would

619
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:47.320
never do that. That would be stupid because clearly that

620
00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:49.840
you know, they don't need to introduce that into this

621
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.840
story between the two and men and women, despite what

622
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:59.199
Harry met Sally said, can actually be friends. So yeah,

623
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:01.639
I'm glad they didn't go there, but I'm sorry that

624
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:04.559
I had to worry about it the whole time. The

625
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:08.519
own thing was great, it was fine. The whole chapel

626
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:10.679
fight thing at the end, I didn't really get any

627
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:14.519
of that, and uh, you know whatever, I don't really

628
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:16.199
want to say too much more about that, but what

629
00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:18.880
I will say is that the biggest place that this

630
00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:24.480
episode disappointed for me was that, I think right from

631
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:26.400
the get go, law On was always one of my

632
00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:29.719
favorite characters in Strange New Worlds, and I've always kind

633
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:32.320
of liked her, Like she's got a little bit of mystery,

634
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:34.760
she's got this kind of staunch independence. She's kind of

635
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.960
like surfing around trying to find things that make her

636
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.679
happy and that kind of stuff, And they've done a

637
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:42.679
pretty good job with her up to now, and then

638
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:48.119
this season it's like they've completely lost their way with

639
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:51.360
the law On character in terms of what they're doing

640
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:55.880
right now. Well, actually, the moment when I knew it

641
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:58.519
was all really going south was when she punched the dinosaur.

642
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:00.400
I didn't really get a chance to like talk about

643
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:03.880
that episode, but like when that occurred, I was like,

644
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:09.320
oh shit, Okay, so now they're doing that with her. Then,

645
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:16.119
like the last episode, there's the whole like activating her abilities.

646
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:20.039
She's worried about it, and as a result, she's like

647
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:25.920
almost murdering people and stuff. Stupid place to put that character.

648
00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:30.719
And then in this one, I have to say, first

649
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.840
of all, I love Christina Chong. She's awesome, and also

650
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:37.400
she can't act drunk on camera at all. I didn't

651
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:41.000
believe a second of it that she was drunk at all.

652
00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:44.559
So anyway, just really disappointed with what they've done with

653
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:46.760
the law On character. They need to turn that character around,

654
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:49.039
because she's an awesome character. And now the whole like

655
00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:51.519
augment thing is all screwed up in my head and

656
00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:55.039
I don't even know what's happening. Okay, let me close

657
00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:00.719
this out. Paul Wesley, you know, obligatory sort of here

658
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:03.119
he is, you know, put him in the story. Okay,

659
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:07.719
didn't believe for a second that. Well, actually, I am

660
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:12.440
also disappointed in the fact that apparently the beginning of

661
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:15.760
Spock and Kirk's like deep relationship is the fact that

662
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:19.559
Spock was high right and he like dumped on Kirk

663
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:22.800
and kind of told him everything. I mean, I guess

664
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:25.159
that can be the beginning of deep relationships. It's just

665
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:28.599
not the way I always imagined it maybe begin. So

666
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:34.239
this is canon now, so here we are. Yeah, So anyway,

667
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:36.239
I ended up in the end given this episode of

668
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:39.480
five out of ten. I laughed a lot watching it

669
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:42.559
the first time. I'm not gonna lie. I really enjoyed it.

670
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:45.400
I think some of what I enjoyed was based on

671
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.880
the fact that I absolutely despised the second episode, and

672
00:40:48.920 --> 00:40:50.679
so I was looking for something to kind of lift

673
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:53.480
my spirits and this one did it right from the beginning.

674
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:55.800
If I watched it multiple times, I don't know if

675
00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:58.400
I would laugh every time, but I really did laugh

676
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:02.079
a lot the first time. But aside from kind of

677
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:05.000
advancing the whole Lake Scotti Ortegas thing, there wasn't too

678
00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:07.960
much else to it for me. So there you go.

679
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:08.880
That's my opinion.

680
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:13.880
All right. So Eric has spoken, and I think we're

681
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.119
going to pass the microphone over to V so we

682
00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:17.519
can hear what we thought about this.

683
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:22.719
Yeah, well a couple things. I laughed a lot through

684
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:26.440
this too, I will say right off the bat, it

685
00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:32.199
was kind of disjointed for somebody that has ADHD, kind

686
00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:37.440
of hard to follow. But I think for me there

687
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:42.400
were a couple things that were relatable. One, I think

688
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:46.400
a lot of us have had that coworker where we

689
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:48.920
just you know, where you've just like butted heads with

690
00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:54.440
them and sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. But

691
00:41:55.119 --> 00:42:01.239
for that planet, with that atmosphere, I need that to

692
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:05.039
happen in real life, that would just be that would

693
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:09.800
be great. One thing that I don't know popped into

694
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:12.239
my head that nobody else has mentioned.

695
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.960
That I was in sort of in.

696
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:21.960
I guess I had the I thought of fantasy island

697
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:30.920
because when Scotti and Ortega are realizing what that character,

698
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:34.400
nobody's mentioned Dave Foley either, he was. He was this

699
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:39.199
adorable little, you know, guy on the planet, this whole

700
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:42.119
salesman for his planet, you know, come here and have

701
00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:45.440
lots of fun and get high and imagine all sorts

702
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:45.920
of things.

703
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:47.480
Mine mild with a plant, you know.

704
00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:48.239
Ah.

705
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:52.840
But when they complained, he said, well, I gave you

706
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:57.039
what you asked for, And that was something that mister

707
00:42:57.119 --> 00:42:59.280
Rourke always did, which, of course, by the way, we're

708
00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:01.360
cardimental on and that whole connection.

709
00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:04.760
So that that's what.

710
00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:08.480
Brought to my what I what I thought it was

711
00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:13.280
a little bit of fantasy Island in there. I just

712
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:17.239
laughed at the plants because, I mean, how many of

713
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:21.639
us have had co workers that week that were a

714
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:24.480
little more than we felt were a little more than

715
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:25.440
potted plants.

716
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:25.679
Right.

717
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:31.079
I'm glad that scott Ian or Tega were able to

718
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:37.480
work things out because that relationship will go a whole

719
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:41.559
lot smoother. And again going back to relating to work,

720
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:51.480
if you've ever had that situation, Una singing klingon, Yeah,

721
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:54.519
that was that was not easy to do. And since

722
00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:59.320
we really re sorry, can't talk. We recently lost Bonnie Tyler.

723
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:00.280
Uh.

724
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:05.079
That was a nice tribute because you haven't experienced total

725
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:07.280
eclipse of the heart if you unless you've heard it

726
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:14.039
and cling on right, And I think that's the rest

727
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:17.719
of it gets a little bit kind of scattered for me, so.

728
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:21.039
Give me some laughs.

729
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:25.599
There were some relatable things, but I think overall I

730
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:28.360
would rate it a seven a seven.

731
00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:34.719
So h we got seven from V and I guess

732
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:36.920
we'll just keep the trainer roll and we'll pop on

733
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:39.159
over to Las Vegas and see what Charles I had

734
00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:39.480
to say.

735
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:47.480
Okay, one thing I did when I took my notes

736
00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:51.960
was kind of get what happened everybody, and I kind

737
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:54.880
of went down the list. Scotty in a man manga

738
00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:59.480
do costume. Of course we saw last seeing the STARTHI

739
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:00.280
Dekada me.

740
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:07.119
Versus the War College Spock and Kirk.

741
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:12.480
That was an interesting situation as Spock thought he was

742
00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:16.280
looking to imagine a imaginary character.

743
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:20.280
UNA's party, HER's party.

744
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:24.400
It's got a sixties kind of give me an idea

745
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:30.199
of a sixties party. Una is singing Totally Eclips the

746
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:33.519
Heart by Bonnie Tyler in All Klingon.

747
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:37.960
Interesting doctor and.

748
00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:44.679
Bega as a bartender, sort of a Tom Cruise throwing

749
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:53.519
the bottles around, probably getting tattooed, Laan as a defense

750
00:45:53.760 --> 00:46:00.800
fight group. And Chapel in a bingo game. Not sure

751
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:02.960
I understood why Chapel was in the middle of a

752
00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:11.320
bingo game. Well, now we know kay spucking mind meld

753
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:16.079
with a plant and get the emotions and gets the

754
00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:21.039
emotions and learn things from the Plant's like Okay, I'm

755
00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:23.719
not sure if he was actually successfully did a mind

756
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:28.639
meld or it was all in his head, but that

757
00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:37.159
was strange. And Pike Pike's tattoos. Pike Pike's the character that,

758
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:40.119
as Eric talked about Leon Pike is the character is

759
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:46.000
always in control. He's always got a good, dominant, strong kick,

760
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:53.079
strong captain character, And in this episode he was not bad.

761
00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:56.719
And the piece talks.

762
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:59.920
He kind of was scattering around didn't really look like

763
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:01.920
he was quite intire what he was doing.

764
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:06.440
And took the two took.

765
00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:12.000
Two stunt people to go through and almost and blow

766
00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:17.440
up a shuttle to go and supposedly solve the problem.

767
00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:19.960
Of the uh peace treaty.

768
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:30.079
And yes, I think I think uh Pike does need

769
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:33.199
to go see m Beg and get those tattoos removed.

770
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:36.840
That was not a good look for him.

771
00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:43.559
And I guess I hate to do it, but I

772
00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:47.280
guess we have to do the reference not in front

773
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:59.559
of the klingon with Kirk and Spock hugging, but I'll

774
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.880
look at the Swan like I was kind of thinking

775
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:02.920
the same thing.

776
00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:06.199
The was doing about a seven for this one. It

777
00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:10.679
was all right, but it just wasn't well going.

778
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:20.960
All right, So there we have it, and uh, what

779
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:23.480
do you say? We moved back over to Portland and

780
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:26.639
talk to David. What do you think, David?

781
00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:34.800
Oh? Well, I do have to agree with v and

782
00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:41.079
paul An apologized Charles and Eric. Uh. This particular one

783
00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:44.960
kind of made me laugh quite a bit, especially when

784
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:48.400
the plant came up for some reason that that made

785
00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:49.679
me giggle. I don't know why.

786
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:56.039
However, there was a lot of things that I thought was.

787
00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:59.320
Very confusing in this episode. I didn't really enjoy it

788
00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:01.960
as much as I thought I was going to because

789
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:04.920
we've been to how many pleasure planets now throughout the

790
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:08.920
whole universe of Die Track. You know, we had Risa

791
00:49:09.199 --> 00:49:12.400
multiple times. We had a lot of things from cos

792
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:17.039
all the different series, and so for this one, I

793
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:20.920
think this was the very first episode that Stranger World

794
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:26.760
has done with a you know, relax and our kind

795
00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:32.079
of thing. I don't know, I think they kind of

796
00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:34.960
went a little over the top for my taste, and

797
00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:42.760
to me, I think this one, uh yeah, the actors

798
00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:48.360
did pretty good acting and whatnot. I actually the funniest

799
00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:50.960
part that I laughed at the most was I know

800
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:53.719
that a lot of people could play the telephone game

801
00:49:54.679 --> 00:49:57.639
and somehow come out with bomb to avocado. I don't

802
00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:01.280
know what that happened, but yeah, that, for some bad

803
00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:07.679
reason got me going pretty good. But let's see what else.

804
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:15.159
The idea that they kind of missed an opportunity. And

805
00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:17.039
I'm probably gonna have to bring this up because this

806
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:22.440
is supposed to be the character Scotty, right when somehow

807
00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:27.039
miraculously they transported them off what second from the subtle

808
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:31.280
to the trip, he somehow blew off his thumb. So

809
00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:36.159
I'm like, okay, if anybody knows the character of the

810
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:40.440
original Scotti, he actually was missing a finger, so I

811
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:42.760
don't understand why they didn't just go ahead and do

812
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:47.599
that to indicate that, you know, he was missing a finger.

813
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:50.119
So I was like, Wow, they really miss an opportunity there.

814
00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:53.000
But yeah, it's a little minor thing that I thought.

815
00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:53.920
I burn up.

816
00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:57.400
And as Child mentioned, Fox trying to mind meld with

817
00:50:57.440 --> 00:51:00.480
a plant could have been all on his head and

818
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:05.000
maybe he actually knew where the shuttle was this whole time, But.

819
00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:07.039
I don't know.

820
00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:12.679
This particular episode somehow just got me thinking that the

821
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:16.280
season of Stranger the World has gotten a lot of stranger.

822
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:17.760
Sorry.

823
00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:20.519
I did not enjoy this one at all very much,

824
00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:25.480
and to me, I don't think I would rewatch it again.

825
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:30.840
When I was watching it, I was hoping for a

826
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:34.199
fun episode, and it was fun at first, but no,

827
00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:38.039
I don't think i'd ever watch it again. So to me,

828
00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:45.199
I gave the last episode the horror one three. I

829
00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:49.440
am probably just gonna up this one by one point

830
00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:51.920
and go with the four because it did make me laugh,

831
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:56.000
but I no, it didn't do it for me.

832
00:51:56.639 --> 00:52:03.119
So for well, David, I uh, unfortunately watched it three times,

833
00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:06.639
So third time a third time really a charm. You'll

834
00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:10.199
find out soon enough. All right, Paul, let's let's hang

835
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:12.719
out with our Portland crew and let's see what you

836
00:52:12.760 --> 00:52:13.440
thought about it.

837
00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:18.719
Okay, Wow, Well, you know, comedy is hard, right, and

838
00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:22.599
the comedy is very subjective. What one person thinks is

839
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:26.079
hilarious and they just love another person may not. And

840
00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:34.760
I just found this, uh, this episode. Yeah, I didn't

841
00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:37.719
enjoy myself with this at all. It's I feel like

842
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:40.599
this episode is kind of symptomatic for me of kind

843
00:52:40.639 --> 00:52:44.840
of the direction. I feel like I'm concerned about I

844
00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:47.320
don't know, the stranger the world's this season. Right, It's

845
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:51.760
just like it's a great start with the season premiere.

846
00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:54.159
But I mean, if you go through and you read

847
00:52:54.239 --> 00:52:57.280
the you know, log lines for this season, everything is

848
00:52:57.320 --> 00:53:00.519
like a new gimmick or trope episode of the week.

849
00:53:00.639 --> 00:53:00.800
Right.

850
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:06.199
We're a horror show, We're we're a comedy show, we're muppets,

851
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.039
we're a soap opera. Right, It's like they you know,

852
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:12.920
I feel like the atmosphere of what we saw on

853
00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:15.000
this planet, there's probably a lot like what the atmosphere

854
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:17.800
the writer's room is on this show just everybody's whims

855
00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:20.760
are indulged and they can do whatever they want it.

856
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:27.519
It's awesome. I love seeing you know, dude, where's my car?

857
00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:30.400
When I was high and you know, seventeen. I guess

858
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:32.199
that's maybe who they're hiring to write. I don't know,

859
00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:35.280
but I just found this really. If I had to

860
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:38.599
describe this, you know, and I love comedy, I feel bad,

861
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:40.920
right because it's like I don't want to diss on anybody.

862
00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:44.800
If you enjoyed it, God love you, power to you, right,

863
00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:48.800
I think it's great. We need comedy and this weird,

864
00:53:49.239 --> 00:53:51.599
screwed up dark age we live in more than ever, right,

865
00:53:51.639 --> 00:53:54.760
So I don't want to, you know, deny people who

866
00:53:55.119 --> 00:53:58.119
If you found this comic comedic, that's great, I'm happy

867
00:53:58.119 --> 00:53:59.920
for you. I did not. It's not Mike style of

868
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:02.800
comedy at all. It's not my style of Star Trek

869
00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:04.719
or science fiction at all. I don't really get how

870
00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:07.960
you call this science fiction, right, I really don't get it.

871
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:11.239
And it's this gimmick rotation that they're in where you know,

872
00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:13.360
it's like, what the hell? I just don't get it.

873
00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:16.400
So for me, I found it really at juvenile and

874
00:54:16.679 --> 00:54:18.920
really annoying for the most part, I would say, right,

875
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:22.880
and you know, these little ridiculous things and the Bonnie

876
00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:25.519
Tyler song, it's just like, that's great. You know who

877
00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:28.599
Bonnie Tyler is. That's awesome. But recognizing that doesn't mean

878
00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:30.039
that somebody wrote a good scene.

879
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:30.440
It's not.

880
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:34.960
And so I found it really just a complete waste

881
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:37.840
of time. I did not enjoy it at all. I

882
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:40.400
really hope that they can write the ship here. But

883
00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:42.079
you know, I'm sure this is a lot of fun

884
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:44.800
for the actors to do. I'm sure that, boy, it's

885
00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:46.880
such a good time making this episode. Of course you

886
00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:49.480
did because you got to, you know, just do whatever

887
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:51.559
the hell you wanted to, like, you know, like you

888
00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:54.559
went to a rave party and did m DMA for

889
00:54:54.599 --> 00:54:57.159
the first time. Great. I'm sure that was fun too.

890
00:54:57.559 --> 00:54:59.400
But that's not what I expect from my you know,

891
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:03.880
a folks legacy science fiction. I expect better, and I

892
00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:07.119
would hope that they do better. I watched this episode,

893
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:08.639
you know, and I got to be honest, right, I

894
00:55:08.679 --> 00:55:11.199
love Star Trek in every way, shape or form, except

895
00:55:11.199 --> 00:55:13.880
for section thirty one, which the last one night we're

896
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:18.519
talking about that again. But I mean, I wat I

897
00:55:18.559 --> 00:55:22.239
watched this episode right, and why. One of my thoughts

898
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:23.840
at the end was just like, you know, I kind

899
00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:28.159
of understand why they canceled this show. If this is

900
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:30.679
the trajectory that they're on, If the rest of this

901
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:33.880
season is going to be mostly this Russian roulette of

902
00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:39.880
genres and indulgences, I would probably cancel it too, because

903
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:41.760
this is not what I expect from my science fiction.

904
00:55:42.079 --> 00:55:44.920
And you know, no fault for the cast. They're doing

905
00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:47.280
their best, but Jesus, you can be annoying as them.

906
00:55:48.039 --> 00:55:50.199
You know, it's night, Paul. Can I ask you a question?

907
00:55:50.239 --> 00:55:54.400
Do you think that this like season four? Like I

908
00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:56.840
don't know exactly when they found out that they were

909
00:55:56.840 --> 00:56:00.000
being canceled, but do you think that this season forced

910
00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:03.920
suffers from what some shows suffer from in their last season,

911
00:56:03.960 --> 00:56:07.519
which is I don't give a fuck anymore. I'm just

912
00:56:07.519 --> 00:56:09.800
going to do everything that I wanted to do, Like,

913
00:56:09.880 --> 00:56:12.000
do you think that we're already there even though we

914
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:14.519
have a season and a half sort of ish like

915
00:56:14.679 --> 00:56:15.280
left or.

916
00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:18.519
I don't know, man, I don't know the answer to

917
00:56:18.559 --> 00:56:20.320
that because there were a lot of episodes like this

918
00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:24.159
last year for me too, right, the wedding bell Blues episode,

919
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:27.239
I believe it was with Trelaine Q whatever you want

920
00:56:27.239 --> 00:56:29.320
to call him. That was a There were a lot

921
00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:31.960
of episodes last season too that were just not so good.

922
00:56:32.239 --> 00:56:35.199
You know, what it's done then it has taken what

923
00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:38.639
I loved about the musical episode, which was that it

924
00:56:38.679 --> 00:56:42.000
was a special little thing at that time that was

925
00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:44.519
a little jewel because it was a moment when they

926
00:56:44.760 --> 00:56:46.840
like took a risk and they did a thing and

927
00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:49.400
it wasn't part of that episodic thing. And it's taken

928
00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:51.800
that and it's completely ruined it because now they're trying

929
00:56:51.840 --> 00:56:57.159
to like replicate that sort of like you know, they've

930
00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:00.559
mass produced the musical episode, which was so at the

931
00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:02.320
time that it was done, and now people in the

932
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:05.760
future will not understand why the musical episode was awesome.

933
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:06.840
That's it.

934
00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:07.960
What's a moment in time?

935
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:10.559
Right? Yeah, I know, and I couldn't agree more. And

936
00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:13.039
I think that's a part of the problem. So a

937
00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:14.639
lot of it too is just you know, I don't

938
00:57:14.639 --> 00:57:18.079
want to keep talking because I've done enough of that.

939
00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:20.920
But I just I think overall what I concerns me,

940
00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:24.719
you know, like the rotating genre thing, man, and what

941
00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:27.559
you mentioned is I find that it is the cartoonification

942
00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:30.880
of Star Trek that upset about. Right, It's just like,

943
00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:33.119
and I don't that's not anything to do with the

944
00:57:33.119 --> 00:57:35.400
animated series. That's not what I'm talking about, right, But

945
00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:39.480
this very juvenile aspect of think Spock has become a

946
00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:40.480
parody of Spock.

947
00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:41.480
Right.

948
00:57:41.559 --> 00:57:43.519
He's jumping in and out of bed with some broad

949
00:57:43.559 --> 00:57:47.880
every week. He sees people as plants. He's mind melding everywhere,

950
00:57:47.880 --> 00:57:52.559
He's making ridiculous jokes. He's nothing like Spock anymore. I mean,

951
00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:54.920
I don't know where they're going with the character building,

952
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:58.360
but it's just not he's a parody of himself. And

953
00:57:58.519 --> 00:58:00.599
Pike's kind of the same way too, right, with this

954
00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:04.760
prepasterous hair. I mean, it's just it's ridiculous. It's just

955
00:58:04.840 --> 00:58:08.079
it's cartoonishly nonsense. He's like a He's like if you

956
00:58:08.119 --> 00:58:11.199
did the Mad Magazine version of Pike, Right, It's that's

957
00:58:11.199 --> 00:58:12.039
what he would look like.

958
00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:12.320
Right.

959
00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:14.440
It's just it's I don't know what they're thinking of,

960
00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:17.440
you know. I guess discipline is not something that I

961
00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:19.519
should expect from the show anymore.

962
00:58:19.760 --> 00:58:23.400
Right, It's gone to the point where it's distracting because

963
00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:26.039
I remember in the first episode actually that he had

964
00:58:26.039 --> 00:58:27.760
a little like fold that was a little weird in

965
00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:29.679
his hair, and I could thought to myself, gosh, his

966
00:58:29.760 --> 00:58:31.679
hair is nothing like right, And I was like, why

967
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:33.280
am I even thinking about his hair?

968
00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:35.960
But compare that to how he when he showed up

969
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:39.440
on Discovery right in the first those custom anything like that.

970
00:58:39.519 --> 00:58:41.719
It look like a regular human being, right, But now

971
00:58:41.719 --> 00:58:43.199
he looks like a.

972
00:58:42.800 --> 00:58:45.519
Dude who just smoked too much weed. Right.

973
00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:47.639
So I don't know what the story is, but it's

974
00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:52.000
just it's I'm very concerned. Like tonight's episode, Oh it's

975
00:58:52.079 --> 00:58:55.000
black and white, it's a noir episode, right, I'm like,

976
00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:57.360
it's another gimmick, right, And I'm just like, I'm really

977
00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:00.079
tired of it. So I hope that they can fix it.

978
00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:03.880
I am an optimist by nature. I really hope there's

979
00:59:03.880 --> 00:59:10.239
at least maybe three more episodes this season that are good, hopefully,

980
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:15.679
and maybe they'll have a really satisfying, you know, consistent

981
00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:18.320
arc through the last season to get you know, to

982
00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:20.119
make it like a six hour movie.

983
00:59:19.920 --> 00:59:20.440
If you will.

984
00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:23.840
But the indulgences of it are just driving me. So

985
00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:26.000
I'm afraid I have no choice but to give this

986
00:59:26.079 --> 00:59:32.880
episode a resounding three and please get your shit together, Okay.

987
00:59:33.119 --> 00:59:35.920
I mean, it's just it's embarrassing and it's juvenile, and

988
00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:39.079
God love you if you enjoyed, it's just not for me.

989
00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:40.960
So three yeah, uncle.

990
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:43.719
I just wanted to add something really quick to ahead.

991
00:59:44.760 --> 00:59:49.119
I'm actually really worried about this particular last season of

992
00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:52.960
this series because they're supposed to still go through the

993
00:59:53.039 --> 00:59:55.880
story plot with him losing everybody. Is that going to

994
00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:57.480
be all like in one episode or is that gonna

995
00:59:57.519 --> 00:59:59.519
be like in the last sixth episode of the last

996
01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:02.159
I don't know, because the way it seems like they're

997
01:00:02.159 --> 01:00:04.599
going is that they're using all of these different episodes

998
01:00:04.679 --> 01:00:07.000
as fillers, and it seems like they're just kind of

999
01:00:07.039 --> 01:00:10.280
like maybe they made these before they didn't know that

1000
01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:13.440
they're going to be canceled, and so now they're just like, oh, shoot,

1001
01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:16.320
we're canceled, and now we have to rest into that thing.

1002
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:18.000
And so that's what I'm really worried about.

1003
01:00:18.119 --> 01:00:19.719
You make a good point, you know, and it's just

1004
01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:21.559
it's not that every I mean, you know, I don't

1005
01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:23.199
I don't want to come across as like the cranky

1006
01:00:23.199 --> 01:00:25.679
old guy because I get tired with that rush a lot, right,

1007
01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:30.400
but the premiere episode of this season, right, that script

1008
01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:34.079
was so good. It was a strong enough story that

1009
01:00:34.199 --> 01:00:37.119
it could have been a theatrical release if you made

1010
01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:40.320
a movie where that was the story, right that they

1011
01:00:40.360 --> 01:00:42.519
went back in time and they were responsible for like

1012
01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:44.679
the destruction of the Earth and the dinosaurs and all

1013
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:47.199
that stuff. That was a good premise, a real science

1014
01:00:47.199 --> 01:00:49.360
fiction story that was a strong enough story that could

1015
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:50.000
have been a feature.

1016
01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:50.639
Yeah.

1017
01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:54.840
It's better than half the next gen features screenplays for sure. Yeah,

1018
01:00:55.039 --> 01:00:57.079
easily better. I mean they could have this could have

1019
01:00:57.119 --> 01:00:59.280
been like a J. J. Abram script. I mean, really

1020
01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:04.320
good story, strong, adult thought provoking. It was really really good.

1021
01:01:04.360 --> 01:01:06.559
And I don't know why you can have writing that's

1022
01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:08.840
that solid one week and then the rest of it's

1023
01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:11.000
just like, you know, written by interns. So I don't

1024
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:11.360
get it.

1025
01:01:11.679 --> 01:01:14.960
Yeah, and I.

1026
01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:17.440
Love science fiction. I loved comedy, don't get me wrong.

1027
01:01:17.480 --> 01:01:20.079
I'm sorry. Just you know Uncle Jimsy to come in

1028
01:01:20.119 --> 01:01:22.719
here as the voice of reason that you know, you

1029
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:25.679
know he's going to part the red Sea and calm

1030
01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:26.199
the waters.

1031
01:01:26.639 --> 01:01:28.320
If you're waiting for me to beat a voice or

1032
01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:31.480
reason on this one, you got all the money. So

1033
01:01:32.760 --> 01:01:36.760
I watched it immediately following our podcast last week, because

1034
01:01:36.920 --> 01:01:38.480
I don't have to go to work right now, so

1035
01:01:38.599 --> 01:01:41.320
I can stay up after the podcast and watch it.

1036
01:01:41.400 --> 01:01:44.440
I was really excited. I sat there and watched it,

1037
01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:47.519
and I thought to myself, w w t F is

1038
01:01:47.679 --> 01:01:54.079
this the first time? The first time I watched it,

1039
01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:59.360
I was like, well, what I think, dude? Where's My Car? Was?

1040
01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:02.119
One hundred times? I was better than this movie? Okay?

1041
01:02:03.519 --> 01:02:07.360
So yeah, So I went to bed pondering it, and

1042
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:10.719
I had to watch it again the next day because

1043
01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:13.639
I'm thinking, to myself, this is Star Trek Man. It

1044
01:02:13.719 --> 01:02:22.440
can't be that bad. So I watched it a second time. Yeah,

1045
01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:25.360
it was that bad, but I had to watch it

1046
01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:26.840
the third time because I got to give it a

1047
01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:30.239
chance talk about it on the podcast. I gotta find

1048
01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:34.679
something positive because I don't like being negative. So here

1049
01:02:34.719 --> 01:02:39.320
it goes. Okay, Uncle Jim's positives and I'm painting Star

1050
01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:41.360
Trek on the side of a turn. Here we go,

1051
01:02:42.400 --> 01:02:45.719
all right. Top of the list for me, ain't number one.

1052
01:02:45.800 --> 01:02:48.079
The only thing to save the show? You guys guessed it,

1053
01:02:48.280 --> 01:02:52.400
un a singing klingon that was the pinnacle of this

1054
01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:55.920
particular show. And I'm gonna do a story on our

1055
01:02:55.920 --> 01:03:00.480
news section about that. That was the high for me.

1056
01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:02.079
I heard the song right away and I'm like, wait

1057
01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:05.719
a minute, is that no? Yes, no, yes it is.

1058
01:03:06.360 --> 01:03:11.000
And so I love the fact that she sang total

1059
01:03:11.039 --> 01:03:14.079
Eclipse of the Heart in Klingon and they filmed this

1060
01:03:14.239 --> 01:03:17.400
before Bonnie died, so this people are saying it's a tribute,

1061
01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:20.480
but in reality it was a lucky guest because she

1062
01:03:20.599 --> 01:03:24.239
was alive when they filmed this. So that was awesome.

1063
01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:29.480
I thought, what else? Yes, Okay, when Scotty, Okay, I'm

1064
01:03:29.480 --> 01:03:31.599
going to be reach and I apologize, but I'm trying

1065
01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:35.760
to be positive there. When Scotty and Artagis were fixing

1066
01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:41.440
the shuttle, they were not using Sears Craftsmen tools. The

1067
01:03:41.480 --> 01:03:44.000
tools that they were using were not something you're going

1068
01:03:44.039 --> 01:03:46.559
to go buy at the hardware store. You didn't see

1069
01:03:46.559 --> 01:03:48.840
wires with wire nuts and things like that, because I

1070
01:03:48.920 --> 01:03:51.440
was paying attention when he was pulling apart the shuttle

1071
01:03:51.760 --> 01:03:55.199
and there was nothing there that I recognized, which which

1072
01:03:55.559 --> 01:03:58.079
is really for me. That's a big thing. You know,

1073
01:03:58.119 --> 01:04:01.679
when I see wey you're nuts and up screwdrivers and

1074
01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:05.440
you know, you know tools from Sears on a show

1075
01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:08.320
like this, I immediately just say, what the hell they

1076
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:11.599
didn't do that? That's a plus for me. Okay, I

1077
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:14.880
told you I'm reaching, So this is mere each Okay,

1078
01:04:15.079 --> 01:04:17.440
that's a plus.

1079
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:20.320
What you're saying, Jim is it was good that the

1080
01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:24.280
episode was largely in focus, that the camera was actually working. Yeah,

1081
01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:24.920
it was.

1082
01:04:24.719 --> 01:04:25.760
It was a thing.

1083
01:04:26.039 --> 01:04:27.719
Sears exists anymore.

1084
01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:31.360
I actually grew up on camera. It was a good thing.

1085
01:04:31.679 --> 01:04:35.159
So maybe it was maybe it was overshading the.

1086
01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:37.880
Way we didn't need to show this thumb picture right here,

1087
01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:40.119
David that site I reject that.

1088
01:04:41.320 --> 01:04:45.599
So the yeah, so that was cool. And Pike's face

1089
01:04:45.800 --> 01:04:48.840
he had clean on tattoos on his face and it

1090
01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:53.599
said hair today, gone tomorrow in plan. So that's what

1091
01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:54.800
his tattoos.

1092
01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:58.840
Actually said, gorn tomorrow tomorrow. An even better.

1093
01:04:59.079 --> 01:05:00.239
Than there go.

1094
01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:02.280
Reaching.

1095
01:05:03.320 --> 01:05:07.079
Yeah, I told you I'm reaching. Yeah, so that's what

1096
01:05:07.159 --> 01:05:12.679
I got for positives. Yeah, okay, so that was it

1097
01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:15.840
for me. I was going to give this episode like

1098
01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:22.039
a two, but you know, Rebecca's put so much work

1099
01:05:22.079 --> 01:05:24.239
in the in the in the singing, in the klingon

1100
01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:26.559
that I had to bump my score from a two

1101
01:05:26.599 --> 01:05:31.199
to a four just for the just for the klingon singing. Uh.

1102
01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:33.599
And that's probably the lowest score I've given an episode

1103
01:05:33.599 --> 01:05:36.639
since we've been grading episodes. But I just I can't

1104
01:05:36.679 --> 01:05:40.719
go any higher. The episode was total I just no

1105
01:05:41.360 --> 01:05:48.519
no I yeah, garbage. Yeah. Okay, So someone comes aboard

1106
01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:52.440
to show. Now someone can explain this to me. They

1107
01:05:53.039 --> 01:05:56.719
steal the settle to sabotage the peace talks, right, Okay,

1108
01:05:57.440 --> 01:06:02.400
they put they sabotage the peace talk with fireworks that

1109
01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:08.480
resemble the great awesome historical piece enhoy explosion of the

1110
01:06:08.639 --> 01:06:11.400
civilization that's going to bring them together.

1111
01:06:11.519 --> 01:06:15.880
But dude, that's part of that's listen. Listen. It's clear,

1112
01:06:16.119 --> 01:06:18.480
Like it's very clear they're leaning into these tropes of

1113
01:06:18.599 --> 01:06:20.719
movies like The Hangover, right, And the thing about those

1114
01:06:20.760 --> 01:06:22.920
movies is not the fact that people are just drunk

1115
01:06:22.920 --> 01:06:25.320
all the time. It's the fact that while they're drunk,

1116
01:06:26.039 --> 01:06:29.320
really lucky, weird shit happens to them, and that's the

1117
01:06:29.360 --> 01:06:31.840
funny part of the story. Right, So they had to

1118
01:06:31.920 --> 01:06:35.159
have something like the firework thing for it to even work,

1119
01:06:35.239 --> 01:06:37.280
because that's how those tropes work.

1120
01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:42.039
See, I must be really old, because again I never

1121
01:06:42.079 --> 01:06:44.440
saw that movie, so or.

1122
01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:46.960
Whatever, dude, Where's My Car? Has the same exact thing, Like,

1123
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:50.159
we're lucky shit happens. Because that's the funny part of

1124
01:06:50.199 --> 01:06:53.280
the story that even when you're drunk and stupid things

1125
01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:55.599
are happening and you have no control over your life,

1126
01:06:56.039 --> 01:06:58.280
you still come out at the end of the movie. Okay,

1127
01:06:58.719 --> 01:06:59.920
because that's American movie you make.

1128
01:07:01.119 --> 01:07:06.800
Why Why would Starfleet send their officers to a planet

1129
01:07:06.840 --> 01:07:08.960
where they get so inebriated that they can just like

1130
01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:10.840
to give away secrets?

1131
01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:13.719
I know what they You know what they should have

1132
01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:16.239
done with this episode, guys, was they should have shown

1133
01:07:16.320 --> 01:07:19.880
how this episode directly leads to things like synth the

1134
01:07:19.880 --> 01:07:23.440
Hall being developed in TNG. Yeah, that's what they should

1135
01:07:23.440 --> 01:07:25.280
have absolutely so.

1136
01:07:26.079 --> 01:07:28.639
And to Paul's point, I think we talked about this.

1137
01:07:28.719 --> 01:07:30.880
I think it was last week when you weren't here, Eric,

1138
01:07:30.920 --> 01:07:33.800
and that was the fact that Strange New World is

1139
01:07:33.880 --> 01:07:38.199
leaning into the gimmicky stuff and they're more concerned with

1140
01:07:38.199 --> 01:07:40.960
with with the different styles and the different tropes, the

1141
01:07:40.960 --> 01:07:43.719
different gimmicks than they are being Star Trek, and that

1142
01:07:43.920 --> 01:07:47.519
worries me. Once in a while. It's fine, but every

1143
01:07:47.639 --> 01:07:51.840
single episode, come on, guys, write a Star Trek episode

1144
01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:54.519
and if it turns out to be funny like Star

1145
01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:57.519
Trek four, great, If it ends up to be incredibly

1146
01:07:57.679 --> 01:08:02.639
awesome like Starstrek five, even better. But just have fun

1147
01:08:02.639 --> 01:08:04.960
and write Star Trek and let it, let it play

1148
01:08:05.039 --> 01:08:09.239
out itself, and stop trying to intentionally make it into

1149
01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:14.039
something else. So I'm sorry. I wish I had more

1150
01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:17.399
good stuff to say about it, but I don't. Sorry.

1151
01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:17.880
I tried.

1152
01:08:18.560 --> 01:08:20.560
Well, I have to say, Jim like, just to close

1153
01:08:20.600 --> 01:08:22.840
it out for me, I've I find it a little

1154
01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:26.479
hard to believe that the tre experts liked last week's

1155
01:08:26.520 --> 01:08:29.479
episode better than this week's though that that that even

1156
01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:31.359
disturbs me just a little bit. It's only point two,

1157
01:08:31.920 --> 01:08:35.359
it's five point two versus a five, but that's very close.

1158
01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:38.079
Do we feel like, as a group we liked the

1159
01:08:38.199 --> 01:08:42.640
last two episodes exactly the same amount more or less

1160
01:08:46.479 --> 01:08:46.920
last week?

1161
01:08:47.800 --> 01:08:49.079
Last week much better?

1162
01:08:52.039 --> 01:08:54.319
Yeah? I thought last week it was a lot better

1163
01:08:54.359 --> 01:08:57.840
than this one. All right, Yeah, well, I.

1164
01:08:57.760 --> 01:09:00.800
Mean this week was now even worse.

1165
01:09:03.560 --> 01:09:09.560
Amazing this episode of VO said last week, Now.

1166
01:09:09.560 --> 01:09:11.640
What do we got, Chyles, how do we compare the

1167
01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:14.880
to our minions?

1168
01:09:14.920 --> 01:09:17.880
Well, as you heard Eric say, by the way, our

1169
01:09:17.920 --> 01:09:21.840
score from last week, Eric gave us an update. So

1170
01:09:22.039 --> 01:09:24.479
last week's score went from I think it was about

1171
01:09:24.520 --> 01:09:29.319
a six to a five point two and to improve it,

1172
01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:33.800
the fans gave it a six point eight and the

1173
01:09:33.880 --> 01:09:35.039
truck Sperts gave.

1174
01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:35.800
It a five.

1175
01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:40.159
You're talking this week.

1176
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:45.279
This week's this week that last week. Last week's was

1177
01:09:45.319 --> 01:09:47.880
an eight point three versus a five point two, So

1178
01:09:48.239 --> 01:09:51.760
huge swing in what the public thought and what the

1179
01:09:51.760 --> 01:09:57.199
truck sperts thought on average this week swing.

1180
01:09:58.359 --> 01:10:02.640
There you have it. Okay, guys, so tune in next time.

1181
01:10:02.640 --> 01:10:07.760
We're going to talk about another gimmicky episode. Okay, So

1182
01:10:08.000 --> 01:10:12.039
now now it is time for our Cy five birthdays.

1183
01:10:12.439 --> 01:10:35.079
David roll the tape that was not a song? All right, guys.

1184
01:10:35.560 --> 01:10:37.960
As you know, every week we start off I remembering

1185
01:10:37.960 --> 01:10:40.760
those members of our sci fi family who, sadly enough,

1186
01:10:41.159 --> 01:10:43.439
are no longer with us, and for that we turned

1187
01:10:43.479 --> 01:10:44.960
to Jim.

1188
01:10:44.960 --> 01:10:48.880
This week we start with actor Steve Inhat, the actor,

1189
01:10:49.079 --> 01:10:52.479
writer and director who played Fleet Captain Garth in the

1190
01:10:52.520 --> 01:10:56.800
Star Trek Original series third season episode Whom Gods Destroy.

1191
01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:01.640
Originally born in Czechoslovakia, but immigrated to Canada with his

1192
01:11:01.680 --> 01:11:06.000
family and eventually made his way into the film industry.

1193
01:11:07.159 --> 01:11:11.760
Really amazing career for the very short life that he

1194
01:11:11.800 --> 01:11:14.199
actually lived. Unfortunately we lost him when he was only

1195
01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:18.199
thirty seven years old, and yet during that time he

1196
01:11:18.239 --> 01:11:20.920
worked in a couple of movies. He worked as a

1197
01:11:20.960 --> 01:11:25.560
guest star on several television shows throughout the sixties like Bonanza, Gunsmoke,

1198
01:11:25.640 --> 01:11:29.239
and Mission Impossible, and he also directed a pair of

1199
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:32.960
films nineteen seventies Do Not Throw Cushions in the Ring,

1200
01:11:33.159 --> 01:11:36.399
which I have not seen, in nineteen seventy twos The Honkers,

1201
01:11:36.680 --> 01:11:39.239
which I also have not seen. He starred in the

1202
01:11:39.239 --> 01:11:42.880
former film along with Sally Carter, whom he married on

1203
01:11:42.920 --> 01:11:46.279
twenty third of May nineteen seventies. So a busy man

1204
01:11:46.560 --> 01:11:49.319
to have unfortunately left this planet when he was only

1205
01:11:49.359 --> 01:11:53.560
thirty seven years old. Happy birthday to Steve Inht, Happy

1206
01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:57.560
birthday as well to Jeff Corey having a birth name

1207
01:11:57.560 --> 01:12:01.159
of Arthur Zwerlig. He of course played and places in

1208
01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:06.159
the original series third season episode The Cloudminders. He made

1209
01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:10.239
over two hundred film and television appearance appearances in a

1210
01:12:10.319 --> 01:12:15.039
career that spanned sixty one years. His early career included

1211
01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:18.640
appearances in a bunch of movies, including nineteen forty six

1212
01:12:18.680 --> 01:12:21.319
as The Killers. And if you haven't heard of that one,

1213
01:12:21.319 --> 01:12:25.000
perhaps you've heard of Miracle on thirty fourth Street from

1214
01:12:25.039 --> 01:12:27.800
nineteen forty seven. Yeah, there are a couple other ones,

1215
01:12:27.840 --> 01:12:32.319
including True Grit are the best movies ever made. Corey

1216
01:12:32.439 --> 01:12:35.640
was among the many actors affected by the government's quest

1217
01:12:35.640 --> 01:12:39.600
to seek out people who they thought were communists. Yeah,

1218
01:12:39.640 --> 01:12:41.680
he was one of those guys that was blacklisted back

1219
01:12:41.720 --> 01:12:44.960
in nineteen fifty one for refusing to name names which

1220
01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:46.399
he wouldn't have known anyway.

1221
01:12:46.920 --> 01:12:47.039
Uh.

1222
01:12:47.479 --> 01:12:50.319
After being blacklisted, Corey worked as an acting teacher for

1223
01:12:50.359 --> 01:12:53.960
twelve years and was even one of Leonard Nimoy's early

1224
01:12:54.039 --> 01:12:59.279
acting coaches. So pretty cool, Jeff Corey. Happy birthday to you, sir.

1225
01:13:00.079 --> 01:13:01.760
We miss you and it sounds like you had a

1226
01:13:01.760 --> 01:13:05.479
really interesting career and I love your makeup and awesome

1227
01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:10.239
gray hair in that episode Happy Birthday as well to

1228
01:13:10.479 --> 01:13:14.159
Charles Cooper, whose middle name, no kidding is Darwin. Yes,

1229
01:13:14.279 --> 01:13:18.720
Charles Darwin. Cooper was the actor who portrayed Chord Chord

1230
01:13:19.119 --> 01:13:22.920
with two rs in the Weirdest Star Trek movie Star

1231
01:13:22.960 --> 01:13:26.920
Trek five, The Final Frontier. He also played kem Peck,

1232
01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:30.239
a much better role, in my opinion, in the Next

1233
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:33.039
Generation's third and four season episode Sins of the Father

1234
01:13:33.159 --> 01:13:36.359
and Reunion, one of the coolest Klingons out there, kem

1235
01:13:36.439 --> 01:13:41.399
Peck was awesome because he was not a perfect king

1236
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:46.199
on at all. He also played Detective Matthews in The

1237
01:13:46.239 --> 01:13:49.279
Wrong Man from nineteen fifty six and played Ed Cobb

1238
01:13:49.319 --> 01:13:52.199
and blayin Fury in nineteen eighty nine. He enjoyed the

1239
01:13:52.239 --> 01:13:56.479
reoccurring role of Judge Robert Bouchet on the legal drama

1240
01:13:57.000 --> 01:14:00.000
Practice Back in the Day. We lost him in twenty thirteen,

1241
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:02.800
but he did live to be the ripe old age

1242
01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:05.000
of eighty seven years old, which is pretty awesome. So

1243
01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:12.439
happy birthday to Charles Darwin Cooper, a man of evolving talents,

1244
01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:12.880
I'm sure.

1245
01:14:13.600 --> 01:14:16.720
And the last story here, please.

1246
01:14:16.439 --> 01:14:21.680
Oh my god, please do yes? You know urinal no,

1247
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:24.000
I please.

1248
01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:26.880
Damn it. I want a story that doesn't.

1249
01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:27.199
Have a hurdle.

1250
01:14:28.159 --> 01:14:35.720
So h way way back in nineteen ninety three, when

1251
01:14:35.760 --> 01:14:40.439
I was wearing Star Trek Convention for five in the

1252
01:14:40.479 --> 01:14:44.720
best star truck movie ever made, I decided that I

1253
01:14:44.760 --> 01:14:47.359
was gonna have some clean on. So I reached out

1254
01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:50.720
and had Charlie Cooper at my convention. It was the

1255
01:14:50.720 --> 01:14:54.960
first Star Trek convention he ever attended, and he was

1256
01:14:55.039 --> 01:14:57.640
shocked at the amount of people that came to see

1257
01:14:57.720 --> 01:15:02.920
him dressed up as On that remembered him because he

1258
01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:05.479
was wearing so much makeup, and he was just blown

1259
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:09.319
away by the Star Trek fans and the outpouring of

1260
01:15:09.359 --> 01:15:13.039
love for him for playing a Klingon. He was totally

1261
01:15:13.119 --> 01:15:18.720
unprepared for it. Nicest man you ever wanted me, and

1262
01:15:18.399 --> 01:15:23.600
he was totally surprised by the outpouring from Star Trek fans.

1263
01:15:23.600 --> 01:15:30.000
So that that's my Charlie Cooper story. So Regular program.

1264
01:15:30.079 --> 01:15:32.159
I mean, it is pretty cool that he's in that

1265
01:15:32.279 --> 01:15:36.439
kind of classic Star Trek five pose, you know, of

1266
01:15:37.039 --> 01:15:41.760
him and Vixus and what's the other male Klingon dude's name?

1267
01:15:41.920 --> 01:15:42.840
What Ca?

1268
01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:47.920
Yeah, I mean, it's come on, Paul. It's like a

1269
01:15:47.960 --> 01:15:50.520
cool pose, you know. And we've had Vixus on the podcast,

1270
01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:53.319
so I like to support her as well. All right, So,

1271
01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:57.600
Charlie Cooper, thank you for all of your Star Trek contributions.

1272
01:15:57.600 --> 01:15:59.399
And last but not least, we would like to honor

1273
01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:03.279
Jane Wyatt this week. The Emmy Award winning American actress

1274
01:16:03.279 --> 01:16:07.680
who played Amanda Grayson the og in the TOS second

1275
01:16:07.680 --> 01:16:11.520
season episode Journey to Babel and again in Star Trek

1276
01:16:11.640 --> 01:16:15.960
for the Voyage Home. Jane Wyatt, of course, came from

1277
01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:21.840
a theater background and made her film debut in director

1278
01:16:21.960 --> 01:16:25.640

01:16:32.640 --> 01:16:35.199
fifties she also co starred with Robert Young and Father

1282
01:16:35.319 --> 01:16:38.720
Knows Best from nineteen fifty four. Remember that show, Yeah,

1283
01:16:38.840 --> 01:16:41.760
the classic sitcom chronicling the life and times of the

1284
01:16:41.800 --> 01:16:47.439
Anderson family in the Midwestern town of Springfield. Jane Wyatt,

1285
01:16:47.840 --> 01:16:50.880
you will always be spox moom to me, although many

1286
01:16:50.960 --> 01:16:54.039
have done a good job of following in your footsteps.

1287
01:16:54.319 --> 01:16:56.560
She lived to be the ripe old age of ninety

1288
01:16:56.600 --> 01:16:59.039
six years old. We lost her way back in two

1289
01:16:59.079 --> 01:17:03.159
thousand and six. Happy Birthday to Jane Wyatt, and that

1290
01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:05.640
does it for our remembrances. Thank you to all I

1291
01:17:05.680 --> 01:17:07.600
have gone before us, and I would like to pass

1292
01:17:08.119 --> 01:17:12.119
this flaming birthday candle which is burning slowly and reasonably

1293
01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:13.199
over to Vava.

1294
01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:16.079
All right, thank you eric on My first.

1295
01:17:16.119 --> 01:17:23.359
Happy Birthday goes to David Dukovney. He is an actor, writer, director,

1296
01:17:23.560 --> 01:17:28.199
and musician, and he received his breakthrough with the role

1297
01:17:28.279 --> 01:17:33.439
of Fox Molder in the ex File franchise, receiving international

1298
01:17:33.520 --> 01:17:37.600
fame and earning a Golden Globe Award as well as

1299
01:17:37.680 --> 01:17:43.239
nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards and five Actor Awards.

1300
01:17:43.800 --> 01:17:47.800
He received another Golden Globe for his portrayal of Hank

1301
01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:55.840
Moody on the series Californication. Okay, and I Racine in

1302
01:17:55.920 --> 01:17:59.920
the sci fi comedy film Evolution. Ye.

1303
01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:04.520
I watched ex File boy. That was some creepy stuff.

1304
01:18:04.600 --> 01:18:07.760
I want to believe that was his whole thing.

1305
01:18:07.840 --> 01:18:09.880
The truth is out there, yes, right it is.

1306
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:15.920
It is now next somebody who I actually got to

1307
01:18:16.119 --> 01:18:24.000
meet last September. Happy Birthday to the Rock Loston. He

1308
01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:28.760
actually got the role of Jake Cisco. He started the

1309
01:18:28.800 --> 01:18:32.720
show when he was only fourteen and he.

1310
01:18:32.520 --> 01:18:34.479
Grew up before our eyes.

1311
01:18:35.279 --> 01:18:38.399
But he was in DS nine and he also had

1312
01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:42.680
a guest role on the Star Trek Starfleet Academy first

1313
01:18:42.720 --> 01:18:48.319
season episode series Acclamation mill Well. He was a regular

1314
01:18:48.439 --> 01:18:52.319
cast member throughout all seven seasons of DS nine. He

1315
01:18:52.520 --> 01:18:56.000
only appeared in seventy one of his one hundred and

1316
01:18:56.239 --> 01:18:59.880
seventy three episodes, David, if you can show that, pick

1317
01:19:00.079 --> 01:19:03.880
sure where I got to meet him. This is he's

1318
01:19:03.920 --> 01:19:07.479
tall because I'm like five to seven and he's he's

1319
01:19:07.520 --> 01:19:12.279
definitely tall. Uh Men. I met Star Trek new Jersey

1320
01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:17.520
last September. One of the cool stories that he told me, No,

1321
01:19:17.680 --> 01:19:22.600
this did not involve but a urinal so I promise

1322
01:19:22.720 --> 01:19:27.760
you that. But he did tell me that he because

1323
01:19:27.760 --> 01:19:32.680
I think many of you know that he uh, I

1324
01:19:32.720 --> 01:19:35.279
can't think of his name now, Avery Brooks, who played

1325
01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:39.479
his father on the show. They really had a very

1326
01:19:39.560 --> 01:19:43.720
very close relationship and Avery was like his second father

1327
01:19:44.520 --> 01:19:49.159
and they have kept in touch since the show ended.

1328
01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:51.560
And he told me that.

1329
01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:55.119
He speaks to Avery every single day.

1330
01:19:55.800 --> 01:19:57.640
So I think that was really cool.

1331
01:19:57.840 --> 01:20:01.439
How you know the show, You know how so many

1332
01:20:01.479 --> 01:20:03.640
of these shows you hear that they are a family,

1333
01:20:04.359 --> 01:20:09.840
and then in this case, you know he still talks

1334
01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:14.279
to his TV dad every single day. So Happy birthday

1335
01:20:14.319 --> 01:20:19.600
to Sarrock. Next, Happy Birthday goes out to Amanda mc broom.

1336
01:20:20.239 --> 01:20:27.399
She played Captain Philippa Luvoy in TG second season episode.

1337
01:20:26.479 --> 01:20:28.039
The Measure of a Man.

1338
01:20:28.479 --> 01:20:38.600
Where they were contemplating data's sentience or not. Next, Happy

1339
01:20:38.600 --> 01:20:44.600
Birthday goes to Chris Hemsworth, Australian actor who played George

1340
01:20:44.720 --> 01:20:49.439
Kirk in Star Trek, best known to audiences for his

1341
01:20:49.640 --> 01:20:56.479
portrayal of four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And then, last,

1342
01:20:56.520 --> 01:21:01.920
but certainly not least, Dawn Lewis, Happy birthday to you.

1343
01:21:02.880 --> 01:21:08.079
She's an American actress, singer, voice actress and songwriter who

01:21:08.199 --> 01:21:13.479

01:21:13.680 --> 01:21:17.000
her work on the first season of the series, she

1346
01:21:17.159 --> 01:21:24.159
was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Character

1347

1348
01:21:30.920 --> 01:21:37.119

1349
01:21:37.239 --> 01:21:41.720
next to the flaming birthday Candle gets flung over to

1350
01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:47.000
the other side of the country to Paul, Thank.

1351
01:21:46.840 --> 01:21:51.319
You, b appreciate the pyrotechnics there. That's most excellent. So

1352
01:21:52.479 --> 01:21:54.840
let's say, first of all, hello and happy birthday to

1353
01:21:55.479 --> 01:21:58.640
Brett Gray, actor and singer who voiced dal Rail in

1354
01:21:58.720 --> 01:22:03.079
Star Trek Prodigy song Darling. I think of some of

1355
01:22:03.119 --> 01:22:06.720
the current crops of Star Trek people just don't get it.

1356
01:22:06.760 --> 01:22:11.119
They was not enough people acknowledge how good Prodigy is,

1357
01:22:11.199 --> 01:22:14.600
really well done, show gets dismissed as a kids program,

1358
01:22:14.800 --> 01:22:19.000
not the case, well written, beautifully designed, really entertaining his help. So,

1359
01:22:19.039 --> 01:22:21.800
if you've not watched Prodigy yet and you're bemoaning all

1360
01:22:21.840 --> 01:22:25.000
the loss of the stuff that's going on there on

1361
01:22:25.199 --> 01:22:27.600
Paramount Plus, track this down, though you may have to

1362
01:22:27.600 --> 01:22:29.800
get a physical copy of it thanks to the nefarious

1363
01:22:29.840 --> 01:22:34.760
behind the screens dealings going on over there, because reinforces

1364
01:22:34.760 --> 01:22:37.439
the important to physical media. But I love Prodigy, got

1365
01:22:37.439 --> 01:22:39.960
it all. I think it's great, excellent, and I thought

1366
01:22:39.960 --> 01:22:42.880
that Brett Gray did a wonderful job, really really really

1367
01:22:42.920 --> 01:22:47.239
well done. So congratulations, Happy birthday, Long live your career, sir.

1368
01:22:48.039 --> 01:22:52.039
Happy birthday to the wonderful Charlie's. Charlie's They're all let

1369
01:22:52.079 --> 01:22:56.680
me get my pronunciation down here correctly. Academy Award winning

1370
01:22:57.640 --> 01:23:04.159
South African American model and of course, very very powerful

1371
01:23:04.199 --> 01:23:08.800
producer who played Meredith Vickers in the twenty twelve film

1372
01:23:09.079 --> 01:23:15.800
Prometheus from Ridley Scott Road war Imperator Furyosa in George

1373
01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:19.279
Miller's phenomenal Mad Max fury Road. If that is an

1374
01:23:19.279 --> 01:23:22.000
incredible movie if you've not seen it. She originated that

1375
01:23:22.119 --> 01:23:26.720
character there, and of course, very very recently mythical nymph

1376
01:23:26.920 --> 01:23:31.600
Calypso in Christopher Nolan's epic action Opus The Odyssey, where

1377
01:23:31.640 --> 01:23:34.800
she is just tremendous in there. Of course, let's not

1378
01:23:34.840 --> 01:23:38.000
forget her Academy Award winning work though or she produced

1379
01:23:38.039 --> 01:23:42.800
and starred in the amazing picture Monster, where she played

1380
01:23:43.079 --> 01:23:47.600
real life serial killer Eileen Warnos. Absolutely amazing production. She

1381
01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:51.520
did incredible work in that always important technology these things,

1382
01:23:51.520 --> 01:23:54.640
but she's just great and really did a phenomenal job,

1383
01:23:54.920 --> 01:23:56.319
as everybody did in the Odyssey.

1384
01:23:56.720 --> 01:24:00.640
pH I just literally saw it last night and it

1385
01:24:00.760 --> 01:24:03.399
was so good. It was one of those like movies

1386
01:24:03.439 --> 01:24:06.680
where you're like you've been there a while, but when

1387
01:24:06.720 --> 01:24:09.119
it's over, you're just like, oh I still want more.

1388
01:24:09.680 --> 01:24:10.119
So good.

1389
01:24:10.640 --> 01:24:11.960
Yeah, do you go to the Hollywood.

1390
01:24:13.159 --> 01:24:15.520
I actually saw it at a at a digital screen,

1391
01:24:15.640 --> 01:24:19.520
big digital screen, but which I feel kind of dirty saying,

1392
01:24:19.520 --> 01:24:22.000
but I typically, but I promise I will go see

1393
01:24:22.000 --> 01:24:22.760
it at the Hollywood.

1394
01:24:23.640 --> 01:24:27.319
I saw it at Yeah.

1395
01:24:27.119 --> 01:24:28.600
Yeah, it's huge.

1396
01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:31.000
Yeah, it's huge, you know, I mean the Holly. So

1397
01:24:31.159 --> 01:24:34.159
for a context, everybody in Portland the Hollywood is the

1398
01:24:34.159 --> 01:24:36.640
theater in town where you can see this in seventy millimeter,

1399
01:24:37.039 --> 01:24:39.840
which of course is always a special experience. The Hollywood

1400
01:24:39.880 --> 01:24:42.239
is an amazing theater. They own their own prints of so

1401
01:24:42.359 --> 01:24:45.479
many cool like seventy millimeter movies from back in the day,

1402
01:24:45.520 --> 01:24:47.199
and they're the only place in town as far as

1403
01:24:47.239 --> 01:24:50.159
I know, that you can actually see seventy millimeter on

1404
01:24:50.239 --> 01:24:52.600
the screen. So yeah, and it's currently playing, it's been

1405
01:24:52.600 --> 01:24:53.960
playing since it opened.

1406
01:24:53.840 --> 01:24:57.279
So yeah, it's a juggernaut. It's such a good it's

1407
01:24:57.319 --> 01:25:00.600
really amazing, and fans, if you love fantasy and any

1408
01:25:00.680 --> 01:25:03.920
kind of filmmaking at all, do not wait to see

1409
01:25:03.920 --> 01:25:08.640
this on home video. You want the communal film experience

1410
01:25:08.680 --> 01:25:11.119
in the theater with people. It's really amazing, so highly

1411
01:25:11.119 --> 01:25:14.640
you highly recommend it. And it's just Fairlie is just

1412
01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:17.079
one of many great performers in there, So congratulations on

1413
01:25:17.159 --> 01:25:23.079
yet another wonderful role. V was just touting David Duchovny

1414
01:25:23.119 --> 01:25:25.359
and well, I'm telling you we got X files coming

1415
01:25:25.399 --> 01:25:27.760
out of our ears here lately. Because it's my great

1416
01:25:27.880 --> 01:25:31.920
pleasure to wish a happy birthday to X Files goddess

1417
01:25:32.079 --> 01:25:37.199
Jillian Anderson. Okay, where she just rocketed to international theme

1418
01:25:37.359 --> 01:25:41.680
as special Agent Danas Scully in The X Files, winning

1419
01:25:41.760 --> 01:25:45.560
a Golden Globe for her role on the show and

1420
01:25:45.720 --> 01:25:50.840
launching the careers of literally thousands of young women who

1421
01:25:51.000 --> 01:25:55.520
moved into careers of both law enforcement and medicine as

1422
01:25:55.560 --> 01:25:58.039
a result of being inspired by Dana Scully. You hear

1423
01:25:58.079 --> 01:26:01.279
this all the time. I into medical school because of

1424
01:26:01.319 --> 01:26:05.159
Danish Elly. I mean, really, it's just phenomenal, phenomenal performer.

1425
01:26:05.279 --> 01:26:09.079
She's just done so many great roles. The Last King

1426
01:26:09.119 --> 01:26:12.000
of Scotland, which is a really great role she had.

1427
01:26:12.720 --> 01:26:16.000
She plays sex therapist Gene Milburn in the comedy drama

1428
01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:21.600
Sex Education, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Crown.

1429
01:26:21.760 --> 01:26:24.199
She got another Golden Globe for that. He's just a

1430
01:26:24.279 --> 01:26:29.600
remarkable performer. I just found this out really recently. I'm

1431
01:26:29.600 --> 01:26:34.159
not sure which networkers doing this, but somebody's doing a

1432
01:26:34.680 --> 01:26:37.159
like a five part mini series remake of the Boys

1433
01:26:37.159 --> 01:26:41.000
from Brazil and Jillian Anderson is in that as well.

1434
01:26:41.079 --> 01:26:43.800
So she's just amazing. Any chance to watch her, I

1435
01:26:43.920 --> 01:26:48.239
just think she's just a really phenomenal performer. And then

1436
01:26:49.640 --> 01:26:54.439
even more exciting. Ryan Kugler, right of Black Panther and

1437
01:26:54.520 --> 01:26:58.000
Sinners fame. He's quietly working on her new reboot, a

1438
01:26:58.079 --> 01:27:01.800
reimagined version of the X Files with all kinds of

1439
01:27:01.840 --> 01:27:05.640
interesting folks in the cast. On that really really great

1440
01:27:05.680 --> 01:27:09.439
that he's got like Amy Madigan in there, Heimish Patel,

1441
01:27:10.039 --> 01:27:14.359
all kinds of good folks. But yeah, it's coming, I

1442
01:27:14.359 --> 01:27:17.600
think probably not till next year. He's got all kinds

1443
01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:20.920
of interesting people in there, though, he's got like Steve

1444
01:27:20.920 --> 01:27:24.119
Bussami's in it, Ben Foster, a lot of interesting folks,

1445
01:27:24.479 --> 01:27:28.239
Tantu Cardinal and rumored we don't know yet, but rumored

1446
01:27:28.239 --> 01:27:30.520
that Gillian Anderson is going to be doing a Canada

1447
01:27:30.880 --> 01:27:33.359
so we can cross our fingers if you can't wait.

1448
01:27:34.159 --> 01:27:36.119
The second X Files movie really took it on the

1449
01:27:36.199 --> 01:27:38.920
chin when it came out in theaters. Was heavily edited,

1450
01:27:39.119 --> 01:27:42.159
and they're making a big value that Chris Carter re

1451
01:27:42.319 --> 01:27:44.800
edited it and it's going to come out it's more

1452
01:27:45.079 --> 01:27:49.399
gnarlier on an edited format. I'm pretty sure it's tomorrow

1453
01:27:49.560 --> 01:27:52.279
on the Hulu channel. So if you're an X Files fan,

1454
01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:54.720
it's a chance to go see an X Files movie

1455
01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:56.920
the way Chris Carter really intended it to be and

1456
01:27:57.000 --> 01:27:59.720
never has been screened before, so check that out and

1457
01:28:00.119 --> 01:28:02.920
see some more good work from Birthday Girl Gillian Anderson.

1458
01:28:02.960 --> 01:28:04.680
I'm pretty sure Uncle Jim will be watching that this

1459
01:28:04.760 --> 01:28:08.800
weekend because I know he's a Smiles fan. So very

1460
01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:10.840
great and wonderful to be able to wish her a

1461
01:28:10.840 --> 01:28:15.119
happy birthday. Moving on, Bruce Greenwood, We Love You. A

1462
01:28:15.119 --> 01:28:18.479
Canadian actor and musician as well, who played Christopher Pike

1463
01:28:19.079 --> 01:28:23.319
in the JJ Abrams films before Pike was resurrected as

1464
01:28:23.359 --> 01:28:25.840
a TV character in both the two thousand and nine

1465
01:28:25.880 --> 01:28:29.279
Star Trek and then Star Trek Into Darkness in ninety two.

1466
01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:32.479
He was also briefly considered for the role of Benjamin

1467
01:28:32.520 --> 01:28:36.039
Cisco in Deep Space nine back in the early days

1468
01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:39.199
before they went in the direction that they did. But

1469
01:28:39.399 --> 01:28:43.560
really chalented actor, super cool dude, just one of those

1470
01:28:43.560 --> 01:28:47.880
folks who just never seems to ever rattle under pressure.

1471
01:28:48.720 --> 01:28:53.479
Really interesting character. He was in a really interesting picture

1472
01:28:53.520 --> 01:28:56.920
where he played JFK in a movie called Thirteen Days.

1473
01:28:57.479 --> 01:29:00.560
Seek it out if you've never seen it, if you

1474
01:29:00.680 --> 01:29:02.560
really want to see this guy go to town though,

1475
01:29:02.840 --> 01:29:05.439
if you happen to like thrillers in particular, We've had

1476
01:29:05.439 --> 01:29:09.760
a lot of conversations lately about horror. Since last week's

1477
01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:13.640
Strange New Worlds. Go over to Netflix, okay and check

1478
01:29:13.640 --> 01:29:17.039
out a mini series called The Fall of the House

1479
01:29:17.119 --> 01:29:21.439
of Usher, kind of a modern reinterpretation of Edgar Allen Poe.

1480
01:29:21.520 --> 01:29:25.840
The great horror genius Mike Flanagan created it, and it's

1481
01:29:26.039 --> 01:29:28.760
the best thing I've ever seen Bruce Greenwood do. He

1482
01:29:29.000 --> 01:29:32.720
is amazing. He plays a family patriarch on that series,

1483
01:29:32.760 --> 01:29:33.920
so you get to see a lot of them. But

1484
01:29:33.960 --> 01:29:37.079
that show is out of control. I mean, there's just

1485
01:29:37.239 --> 01:29:42.359
nuts and it's really amazing. Highly highly recommended, but not

1486
01:29:42.479 --> 01:29:44.600
for the week in faint of Art. It's horror with

1487
01:29:44.720 --> 01:29:48.319
capital age, so be advised. But if you're a fan

1488
01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:52.239
of Bruce Greenwood, check that out. Lastly, for me, Happy

1489
01:29:52.279 --> 01:29:57.920
Birthday goes out to Leslie Dalton, who played Drea way

1490
01:29:57.960 --> 01:30:03.000
back in the original series second season episode by any

1491
01:30:03.039 --> 01:30:06.600
Other Name. We were just talking about that earlier. I

1492
01:30:06.680 --> 01:30:09.000
think that's one of the greatest episodes of All Star Trek.

1493
01:30:09.039 --> 01:30:12.960
It's really hardcore science fiction, very human, very interesting, eminently

1494
01:30:13.000 --> 01:30:17.239
watchable all the time. Warren Stevens is like the main

1495
01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:20.000
alien antagonist in there. It's just a cool piece of writing,

1496
01:30:20.479 --> 01:30:26.239
and she was one of the invading aliens from Andromeda

1497
01:30:26.319 --> 01:30:30.000
on that show, the Kelvins. But really really cool, So

1498
01:30:30.439 --> 01:30:32.359
great to be able to wish happy birthday to all

1499
01:30:32.399 --> 01:30:36.000
these cool folks. Crazy as the world may be, we

1500
01:30:36.039 --> 01:30:39.000
always have our science fiction and fantasy to fall back

1501
01:30:39.039 --> 01:30:42.279
on to keep us entertained and inspire us for better

1502
01:30:42.399 --> 01:30:46.359
days to come. And I know I'm hearing a weird

1503
01:30:46.520 --> 01:30:47.560
queen song.

1504
01:30:47.359 --> 01:30:48.239
In the background here.

1505
01:30:48.439 --> 01:30:51.159
I think it must be something to do with Uncle Jim.

1506
01:30:51.199 --> 01:30:52.960
I'm not sure what it is. Uncle Jim. Am I

1507
01:30:52.960 --> 01:30:55.760
imagining things? Am I having another hallucination?

1508
01:30:56.600 --> 01:30:59.640
No, you definitely are not. I'm wearing the T shirt

1509
01:30:59.800 --> 01:31:03.800
right here, and I have the distinct I was going

1510
01:31:03.840 --> 01:31:05.960
to play the sound clipt I had it for David,

1511
01:31:06.680 --> 01:31:12.279
if you guys remember, but when Riverside updated, I lost

1512
01:31:12.319 --> 01:31:14.479
a lot of the sound bites, so I'm gonna have

1513
01:31:14.479 --> 01:31:18.119
to do it for you. Flash Ah, there you go.

1514
01:31:18.920 --> 01:31:21.439
So we want to say happy birthday to the One,

1515
01:31:21.880 --> 01:31:26.279
the Only, the Awesome, the Ultimate in eighties Cheese himself,

1516
01:31:27.039 --> 01:31:30.319
Sam J. Jones Flash Gordon And there he is on

1517
01:31:30.359 --> 01:31:33.039
the screen, and there's me and my wife meeting him

1518
01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:37.920
at a convention. He was an awesome, awesome dude, great

1519
01:31:37.960 --> 01:31:40.600
guy to meet and Flash Gordon. Have you had a

1520
01:31:40.720 --> 01:31:42.239
chance to watch you at David.

1521
01:31:43.319 --> 01:31:44.119
I actually did.

1522
01:31:44.239 --> 01:31:45.119
Yeah it was.

1523
01:31:46.720 --> 01:31:52.000
Yeah, yes it is. It's eighties cheese to the max.

1524
01:31:52.079 --> 01:31:56.600
But god, I love it watch it all of the time.

1525
01:31:57.119 --> 01:32:01.359
So Happy birthday to Sam j. Jones. He was also

1526
01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:05.319
in Stargay, and he's had guest spots in a lot

1527
01:32:05.359 --> 01:32:08.680
of movies. He was in Ted actually as well. There's

1528
01:32:08.720 --> 01:32:11.560
a funny scene where he's flying home on his Flash

1529
01:32:11.560 --> 01:32:15.840
Gordon speeder bike. Funny movie. If you haven't seen Ted either,

1530
01:32:16.159 --> 01:32:19.000
Happy birthday. I wish I had a urinal story to

1531
01:32:19.079 --> 01:32:22.760
tell you about him, but I don't, so I gotta

1532
01:32:22.840 --> 01:32:26.239
leave it at that. Happy birthday to Sam Jones. Speaking

1533
01:32:26.720 --> 01:32:31.880
of eighties cheese, Uncle Jim's movie pick of the week

1534
01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:35.119
David roll the Table.

1535
01:32:43.239 --> 01:32:46.520
There is a place where legends.

1536
01:32:46.000 --> 01:32:50.920
Are boring, where the light confronts the dark.

1537
01:32:52.520 --> 01:32:54.560
A world of incredible.

1538
01:32:54.039 --> 01:33:02.960
Mystery, magic, an adventure, a world where colossal powers will

1539
01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:06.319
collide in a battle to control the universe.

1540
01:33:22.399 --> 01:33:25.520
The place is Earth, the.

1541
01:33:25.520 --> 01:33:26.920
Time is now.

1542
01:33:28.279 --> 01:33:32.000
Masters of the Universe, don't wondering?

1543
01:33:32.199 --> 01:33:32.680
Is hemen?

1544
01:33:33.279 --> 01:33:35.600
Frank Langella is Skeletor.

1545
01:33:35.239 --> 01:33:37.239
And Mike Foster is evil in.

1546
01:33:38.840 --> 01:33:43.279
Masters of the Universe Coming to Earth this summer.

1547
01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:49.720
I really like how understated that guy during the narration was.

1548
01:33:49.800 --> 01:33:52.920
He was just super I mean, what's what's hilarious about

1549
01:33:52.920 --> 01:33:56.199
it for Masters of the Universe like aficionados, is that

1550
01:33:56.279 --> 01:34:00.760
he says the place is Earth, the time is now. Actually,

1551
01:34:00.800 --> 01:34:05.600
technically speaking, the place is Attorneia and the time is

1552
01:34:05.640 --> 01:34:07.560
a while agos.

1553
01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:11.840
Well, the movie doesn't take place in Attorney. The movie

1554
01:34:11.880 --> 01:34:16.920
take nor Well. If you guys want a double feature

1555
01:34:16.960 --> 01:34:20.680
of eighties cheese, Lashes of the Universe and Flash Gordon

1556
01:34:21.640 --> 01:34:25.760
some popcorn, have some fun eighties cheese at its Max

1557
01:34:25.920 --> 01:34:32.600
and of course who does the music and Flash Gordon David,

1558
01:34:33.720 --> 01:34:35.560
the Kings, the King.

1559
01:34:35.800 --> 01:34:40.319
That's but I mean, like the one thing you get

1560
01:34:40.319 --> 01:34:42.680
in this Masters of the Universe is you get Dolph Lunger.

1561
01:34:42.720 --> 01:34:45.439
And I mean, look at this person. He is the

1562
01:34:45.479 --> 01:34:49.680
only person on the planet who is shaped exactly like

1563
01:34:49.880 --> 01:34:54.039
a caricature of a V groove dude. Right, his shoulders

1564
01:34:54.039 --> 01:34:56.800
are like fourteen feet wide and his waist is like

1565
01:34:56.880 --> 01:35:01.039
one foot wide, and his legs are ma as. I mean,

1566
01:35:01.079 --> 01:35:03.840
he just is like he's the perfect he is an

1567
01:35:03.880 --> 01:35:07.359
action figure. Dolph Lungern is an action figure, and that's

1568
01:35:07.359 --> 01:35:08.640
the messing about this movie.

1569
01:35:09.000 --> 01:35:12.760
And fun Star Trek references there too. A very young

1570
01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:17.520
Robert duncan McNeil was in this movie as well, very

1571
01:35:16.800 --> 01:35:20.039
very word for his but just to throw that in there.

1572
01:35:20.640 --> 01:35:25.000
Masters of the Universe the motion picture was released on

1573
01:35:25.119 --> 01:35:29.720
August eighth, nineteen eighty seven. A sword and sorcery film

1574
01:35:29.800 --> 01:35:34.039
based on the Masters of the Universe franchise toys by

1575
01:35:34.279 --> 01:35:40.520
Mattelle obviously, stars Dolph Lungren, Frank Langela, Courtney Cox, James Tolkien,

1576
01:35:40.640 --> 01:35:46.479
Meg Foster, and Robert duncan McNeil. A great movie. I

1577
01:35:46.520 --> 01:35:49.640
love it, love it, love it, eighty cheese all the way.

1578
01:35:50.079 --> 01:35:53.800
And I don't know if anybody had the misfortune of

1579
01:35:53.840 --> 01:35:58.199
seeing the new Masters of the Universe, skip it go

1580
01:35:58.359 --> 01:36:01.520
right to this one. Okay. That's all I'm gonna tell you,

1581
01:36:02.239 --> 01:36:05.960
although Dolf Wandern does have a really fun cameo in

1582
01:36:06.039 --> 01:36:09.840
the new one good journey. Other than that, skip it

1583
01:36:09.960 --> 01:36:10.600
go right to this.

1584
01:36:10.560 --> 01:36:16.119
One, all right, so that neither of them, well.

1585
01:36:16.079 --> 01:36:18.760
We'll give you a pass, all right. That wraps up

1586
01:36:18.800 --> 01:36:22.840
our birthdays and Uncle Jim's cheesy eighties movie pick of

1587
01:36:23.039 --> 01:36:27.600
though We okay, So now it's time for our Stummar

1588
01:36:27.680 --> 01:36:29.720
Trek news.

1589
01:36:52.960 --> 01:36:53.119
Day.

1590
01:36:53.319 --> 01:36:55.720
Eric, you get to start us off with one of

1591
01:36:55.760 --> 01:36:57.119
our favorite segments.

1592
01:36:57.560 --> 01:36:59.640
Well, we always like to get this party started with,

1593
01:36:59.680 --> 01:37:03.960
Shotton says, what and that's right. William Shatner teases the

1594
01:37:04.000 --> 01:37:08.560
Coachella twenty twenty seven festival heavy metal performance. That's right.

1595
01:37:09.039 --> 01:37:13.319
The iconic actor and musician recently appeared alongside his daughter

1596
01:37:13.640 --> 01:37:17.960
Melanie Shatner Gretch to discuss their podcast, where they shared

1597
01:37:18.000 --> 01:37:22.720
their experience surviving stage four cancer and how those journeys

1598
01:37:22.840 --> 01:37:26.000
changed their outlooks on life. When asked what he's looking

1599
01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:29.760
forward to most, Shatner pointed to his new heavy metal project,

1600
01:37:29.880 --> 01:37:34.880
saying he's excited about his upcoming album and band. And

1601
01:37:34.960 --> 01:37:37.880
I'm not really sure how to pronounce this the the

1602
01:37:38.800 --> 01:37:42.600
uck the Uckers, but there's a little asterix before the

1603
01:37:42.720 --> 01:37:46.600
uckers part, so I think you're meant to infer something,

1604
01:37:47.039 --> 01:37:49.640
but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say staruckers

1605
01:37:50.560 --> 01:37:54.640
or just uckers or asterix uckers. Anyway, I'm gonna say

1606
01:37:54.720 --> 01:37:58.960
uckers throughout the reading of this article. While discussing the

1607
01:37:59.000 --> 01:38:02.760
group's lives schedule. He mentioned performances at riot Fest and

1608
01:38:03.239 --> 01:38:07.239
the One in the Desert aka Coachella, but the Indio,

1609
01:38:07.319 --> 01:38:11.479
California festival has not yet revealed any of its twenty

1610
01:38:11.520 --> 01:38:15.760
twenty seven lineup. Oh and it's unclear whether Shatner was

1611
01:38:15.840 --> 01:38:19.680
authorized to speak about his upcoming performance. The slip should

1612
01:38:19.760 --> 01:38:21.960
come as no surprise, since Shatner has a habit of

1613
01:38:22.000 --> 01:38:25.840
going where no man has gone before. When asked what

1614
01:38:25.960 --> 01:38:30.600
he was most excited about for the future, the nonagenarian responded,

1615
01:38:30.680 --> 01:38:35.359
my heavy metal. The Uckers is a supergroup comprised of

1616
01:38:35.399 --> 01:38:40.039
guitarist Marcus nand Philip Susan, who I believe is of

1617
01:38:40.479 --> 01:38:44.960
Ozzy Osbourne and others fame Britt Lightning, who is an

1618
01:38:45.000 --> 01:38:48.720
amazing guitar. She plays one of those flying v things

1619
01:38:48.760 --> 01:38:52.560
and she's just freaking sick to watch. With Fred Aichen

1620
01:38:52.760 --> 01:38:56.600
on drums. They will all perform at Chicago's riot Fest

1621
01:38:56.720 --> 01:39:00.399
in September, alongside Pierced the Veil, Morrissey, Tool Pitch Sees,

1622
01:39:00.640 --> 01:39:04.279
Alanis Moore, said Iggy Pop, and others a lineup. The

1623
01:39:04.279 --> 01:39:07.920
band will play both Shatner's original songs and the iconic

1624
01:39:08.000 --> 01:39:11.439
metal covers featured on his new album What the F

1625
01:39:11.680 --> 01:39:15.079
Is heavy Metal? He says, I've always believed that music

1626
01:39:15.159 --> 01:39:19.840
like Space is about exploration. He said in a press release.

1627
01:39:20.039 --> 01:39:22.920
I love these images that David has going here. There's

1628
01:39:23.000 --> 01:39:26.000
like a spinning cassette tape in the background with some

1629
01:39:26.079 --> 01:39:31.359
amazing Shatner doing metal stuff going on, you know, because

1630
01:39:31.439 --> 01:39:33.840
that's what it does. Like if you've listened to Ashley

1631
01:39:34.479 --> 01:39:39.199
listening to so you Yeah, anyway, I'm not gonna go

1632
01:39:39.600 --> 01:39:41.680
I can go deep into this. I'm just gonna, like,

1633
01:39:43.439 --> 01:39:47.319
you know, rain myself in for now and just leave

1634
01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:47.680
it at that.

1635
01:39:47.960 --> 01:39:53.319
So there you go, Hey, thank you, Eric. I will

1636
01:39:53.359 --> 01:39:58.640
take it away now, okay. And that's how all the

1637
01:39:58.640 --> 01:40:03.239
Shatner songs are okay. Star Trek actor reacts to singing

1638
01:40:03.319 --> 01:40:07.119
Clingon in Strange New Worlds Hangover episode There she is

1639
01:40:07.319 --> 01:40:10.840
una the highlight for me of this episode, which pulled

1640
01:40:10.840 --> 01:40:14.720
it up from two to a four. Despite feeling completely

1641
01:40:14.800 --> 01:40:18.840
overwhelmed in the beginning of Romaine who portrays Strange New

1642
01:40:18.840 --> 01:40:22.439
World when Chian Riley absolutely killed it singing Klingon. While

1643
01:40:22.520 --> 01:40:26.640
on Shortly and Human Best Friend, she talked about belting

1644
01:40:26.640 --> 01:40:30.319
out singing sensation. Bonnie Tyler's totally Clips of the Heart

1645
01:40:30.800 --> 01:40:36.119
and perfect Klingon Saying it honestly was the biggest challenge

1646
01:40:36.319 --> 01:40:38.720
of the season for me. I did not know it

1647
01:40:38.760 --> 01:40:41.960
was a challenge I ever wanted. In fact, at first,

1648
01:40:42.279 --> 01:40:46.039
I was completely overwhelmed. But because Klingon is an actual

1649
01:40:46.119 --> 01:40:48.960
language that probably at least twenty people in the entire

1650
01:40:49.000 --> 01:40:53.439
world can speak fluently, including college professors, I worked with

1651
01:40:53.479 --> 01:40:55.920
a dialect coach to make sure I could get all

1652
01:40:55.960 --> 01:41:00.600
of the correct pronunciation translation all of it. I was

1653
01:41:00.640 --> 01:41:03.800
pretty happy to see how it came out. UNA's first

1654
01:41:03.840 --> 01:41:07.000
revealed singing a Klingon power violin. When Scotty and Lieutenant

1655
01:41:07.119 --> 01:41:09.600
Eric or Tegas take a seat at the bar during

1656
01:41:09.600 --> 01:41:13.680
an early scene, both characters smile proudly as their commanding

1657
01:41:13.680 --> 01:41:17.119
officer leans into the spirit of shortly even sings totally

1658
01:41:17.159 --> 01:41:20.319
clips of the Heart. She's pretty good, Scotty tells or

1659
01:41:20.399 --> 01:41:24.560
tegis learning the Klingon language, let alone singing a legendary

1660
01:41:24.640 --> 01:41:28.680
song perfectly in Klingon tongue is no easy feat, and

1661
01:41:28.720 --> 01:41:31.479
the actors pulled it off away that all Star Trek

1662
01:41:31.520 --> 01:41:35.039
fans should be immensely proud of the images of what

1663
01:41:35.159 --> 01:41:37.479
happened to the crew of the USS Enterprise while they

1664
01:41:37.520 --> 01:41:41.119
were under the influence of the planet's inebriating atmosphere are

1665
01:41:41.199 --> 01:41:44.720
shown during the end credits while Una belts out totally.

1666
01:41:44.760 --> 01:41:48.199
Clips of the heart in Klingon, which allows Romayne's hard

1667
01:41:48.199 --> 01:41:51.279
work to be shown off even more than during the

1668
01:41:51.399 --> 01:41:55.880
actual scene in the movie. David, let's roll the tape

1669
01:41:55.920 --> 01:42:00.000
so our fans can hear it, and I'll be right back.

1670
01:42:00.079 --> 01:42:06.239
My god, nicht.

1671
01:42:06.479 --> 01:42:18.119
It looks hatch chuck a movement for Meriking motive. Dick An,

1672
01:42:21.079 --> 01:42:22.640
it's shut wish.

1673
01:42:25.079 --> 01:42:26.359
She's very good.

1674
01:42:26.880 --> 01:42:28.399
She probably knows where Pike is.

1675
01:42:30.520 --> 01:42:32.760
There's so many cling on power ballads.

1676
01:42:33.439 --> 01:42:37.199
She signed up to some fifteen warrior songs.

1677
01:42:39.319 --> 01:42:48.439
Frank, doctor show have me look? Have you seen Captain Pike?

1678
01:42:49.680 --> 01:42:51.159
Oh, I'll say one or whatever?

1679
01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:53.119
These you're making no, no, no.

1680
01:42:54.000 --> 01:42:58.560
And don't work here, doctor, where's that?

1681
01:42:58.920 --> 01:42:59.439
It's green?

1682
01:43:00.399 --> 01:43:00.680
Cool?

1683
01:43:00.760 --> 01:43:00.960
Right?

1684
01:43:01.920 --> 01:43:03.079
How did you learn to dinner?

1685
01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:06.520
I'm just waiting it when I move my hands, and

1686
01:43:06.520 --> 01:43:08.600
you're all worried about people's lie.

1687
01:43:09.239 --> 01:43:09.840
But now.

1688
01:43:11.640 --> 01:43:25.119
That's what I said. A cool man with stars the

1689
01:43:25.319 --> 01:43:49.720
Captain jo.

1690
01:44:13.600 --> 01:44:16.800
She nailed it for sure. Okay, Charles, you've got the

1691
01:44:16.840 --> 01:44:19.279
next story, this one I put in just for you,

1692
01:44:19.960 --> 01:44:22.359
and I thank you, thank you. Yep.

1693
01:44:23.680 --> 01:44:24.199
Russell T.

1694
01:44:24.399 --> 01:44:27.960
Davies nearly agreed to Doctor Who crossover was Star Trek's

1695
01:44:27.960 --> 01:44:32.359
Strange New World, Strange New World to Kiva Goldsmith, It's

1696
01:44:32.359 --> 01:44:37.159
confirmed the prolonged conversation took place with Russell T. Davis

1697
01:44:37.239 --> 01:44:41.880
about the potential Doctor Who crossover. Golden Miss said the

1698
01:44:41.920 --> 01:44:46.159
two creative teams were trying with Russell to a crossover

1699
01:44:46.239 --> 01:44:49.680
and the talks continued for a year, calling them near.

1700
01:44:49.560 --> 01:44:51.239
Missus, but nothing.

1701
01:44:51.319 --> 01:44:57.479
They had seemed really cool conversation by bringing the world together.

1702
01:44:58.039 --> 01:45:02.279
The possibility followed and Easter Reagan's Strangery World season three,

1703
01:45:03.039 --> 01:45:06.199
where the Chartist briefly appeared in the background scenes aboard

1704
01:45:06.239 --> 01:45:11.159
the US's Enterprise and capped and commanded. Pelia, led by

1705
01:45:11.239 --> 01:45:15.319
Carol King, drops a line applying she's encountered the time

1706
01:45:15.399 --> 01:45:23.000
traveling doctor. Co showrunner Henry alanos Myers defended the hint

1707
01:45:23.199 --> 01:45:27.600
as a consistent with Pelia's character, saying she's had many

1708
01:45:27.640 --> 01:45:30.359
adventures in a long, complicated history.

1709
01:45:30.520 --> 01:45:33.600
Separate Separated by.

1710
01:45:33.439 --> 01:45:36.239
The BBC has announced and we'll put the Doctor Who

1711
01:45:36.359 --> 01:45:39.640
out to a competitive tender as part of the planets

1712
01:45:39.680 --> 01:45:41.199
secure the show's next.

1713
01:45:41.560 --> 01:45:43.600
Phase in line with his charter.

1714
01:45:44.439 --> 01:45:49.119
Davis, who returned in Doctor Who twenty twenty three after

1715
01:45:49.199 --> 01:45:52.600
previously served as a showrunner, has said he's excited that

1716
01:45:52.840 --> 01:45:56.800
anyone to see what comes next, teasing a social Many

1717
01:45:56.880 --> 01:45:59.840
of the elements, such as the theme to Theme to

1718
01:46:00.039 --> 01:46:02.840
Dunes and Blue Box and classic Villains are all up

1719
01:46:02.840 --> 01:46:03.399
for grabs.

1720
01:46:03.399 --> 01:46:07.600
The franchise moves is forward, and I.

1721
01:46:07.680 --> 01:46:14.119
Definitely have a chat about Davids once he does his story.

1722
01:46:14.640 --> 01:46:19.359
All right, this one, if I can get to get

1723
01:46:19.359 --> 01:46:20.680
this up here really quick, all right?

1724
01:46:20.800 --> 01:46:21.039
Cool.

1725
01:46:21.399 --> 01:46:25.560
So this is Magic the Gatherings Star Trek Welcome Decks

1726
01:46:26.399 --> 01:46:29.479
Welcome to Starfleet. As part of your training for Magic

1727
01:46:29.520 --> 01:46:35.319
of Gathering for the Gathering Stuard Trucks, we're releasing five

1728
01:46:35.600 --> 01:46:39.159
welcome decks that were designed to launch a new players

1729
01:46:39.319 --> 01:46:43.239
into the world of sky Trek. Welcome decks have everything

1730
01:46:43.279 --> 01:46:47.960
you need to start learning, playing and loving magic. Each

1731
01:46:48.079 --> 01:46:52.000
Magic the Gathering sty Trek Welcomes deck contains the following

1732
01:46:52.840 --> 01:46:57.439
one mono colored deck forty cards. Theo are five different

1733
01:46:57.680 --> 01:47:03.079
forty mono color decks. Welcome decks include cord from Magic

1734
01:47:03.119 --> 01:47:09.199
to Gatherings guard track. Uh, I'm not really sure. Did

1735
01:47:09.199 --> 01:47:10.359
anyone else know what that is?

1736
01:47:11.199 --> 01:47:11.439
Yeah?

1737
01:47:11.439 --> 01:47:13.840
There are two different ways to play Magic. One is

1738
01:47:13.840 --> 01:47:16.319
the standard wave of playing Magic, and one is commander style.

1739
01:47:16.560 --> 01:47:20.720
And these are typically Commander decks that they're focusing on here,

1740
01:47:21.159 --> 01:47:24.479
using like different characters from each of the series as

1741
01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:28.479
your main commander. And we can get into what magic

1742
01:47:28.479 --> 01:47:30.800
the gathering commander is if y'all want to, but we

1743
01:47:30.800 --> 01:47:31.359
don't need.

1744
01:47:31.239 --> 01:47:34.680
To, Okay, I don't play magical gathering, so I don't

1745
01:47:34.720 --> 01:47:37.039
know abbreviation for all the different things, but I'll read

1746
01:47:37.079 --> 01:47:39.800
them out as they say here. So the next one

1747
01:47:39.880 --> 01:47:45.079
is Mathic Gatherings coudtrack, Commander TRC, one reference card, one

1748
01:47:45.159 --> 01:47:50.600
deck box. Welcome decks a simple, flavorful and a perfectly

1749
01:47:50.640 --> 01:47:55.159
logical chart to your magic journey. You'll loan the fundamentals

1750
01:47:55.159 --> 01:47:59.560
of magic, attacking, blocking, casting spells through the lens of

1751
01:47:59.600 --> 01:48:04.960
star Trek. These decks will teach you whoops, last miss

1752
01:48:05.239 --> 01:48:08.199
will teach you more than just the rules of the game.

1753
01:48:09.119 --> 01:48:14.640
They also showcase color pie of magic. Each of magic

1754
01:48:14.760 --> 01:48:19.399
five colors has a philosophy that associates with it. Playing

1755
01:48:19.640 --> 01:48:22.960
with these welcome decks will teach you everything you need

1756
01:48:23.039 --> 01:48:26.600
to know about Magic, and if you know Stytrek, you'll

1757
01:48:26.640 --> 01:48:31.239
get even more out of your experience. With tons of

1758
01:48:31.319 --> 01:48:36.640
deep cut references and recognizable moments, each card captures a

1759
01:48:36.920 --> 01:48:40.760
shouver of the wide world of Star Trek Magic. The

1760
01:48:40.880 --> 01:48:44.840
Gathering Star Trek releases on November thirteenth, twenty twenty six,

1761
01:48:45.600 --> 01:48:49.000
and it's available for pre order now from your local

1762
01:48:49.119 --> 01:48:54.920
game store, TCG Player, Amazon, and elsewhere Magic is sold,

1763
01:48:55.680 --> 01:48:58.560
including the Internet.

1764
01:49:00.920 --> 01:49:04.000
I'm gonna jump in. I'm going to jump in on

1765
01:49:04.119 --> 01:49:06.479
this one a little bit and disgust it. Even though

1766
01:49:06.479 --> 01:49:09.079
I wasn't as Star Trek Las Vegas, I do have

1767
01:49:09.239 --> 01:49:11.039
friends for the.

1768
01:49:12.800 --> 01:49:13.199
Host.

1769
01:49:14.079 --> 01:49:17.840
This is actually one of the decks. This is Laurel

1770
01:49:18.119 --> 01:49:24.000
on the cover. It is a red deck Magic brought.

1771
01:49:24.079 --> 01:49:30.119
Magic co sponsored the convention this year. I gather by

1772
01:49:30.159 --> 01:49:33.399
the week. There was a five day convention. By Saturday,

1773
01:49:33.439 --> 01:49:38.199
I think by Friday or Saturday, the decks were gone

1774
01:49:38.399 --> 01:49:42.800
and I was watching on one of the Facebook groups

1775
01:49:44.039 --> 01:49:49.319
and people were offering up trading merchandise and even offering

1776
01:49:49.319 --> 01:49:52.600
to buy up deck to try to getting a collection

1777
01:49:52.680 --> 01:49:53.840
of all five deck.

1778
01:49:55.239 --> 01:49:57.000
But they went quick, and.

1779
01:49:59.439 --> 01:49:59.960
There's a debt.

1780
01:50:00.560 --> 01:50:03.159
They're fairly the fans were interested in seeing what these

1781
01:50:03.199 --> 01:50:04.279
decks were going to look like.

1782
01:50:05.680 --> 01:50:10.199
Eric, Yeah, I was just gonna say, Charles, that's kind

1783
01:50:10.239 --> 01:50:14.640
of the sort of thing that they do that Wizards

1784
01:50:14.720 --> 01:50:17.000
does now, or Wizards of the Coast does right now

1785
01:50:17.720 --> 01:50:20.560
with magic, Like they put out A Doctor who Wanted

1786
01:50:20.560 --> 01:50:22.960
a few years ago, And if you can get in

1787
01:50:23.000 --> 01:50:24.920
on the ground level and do the pre order, you

1788
01:50:24.960 --> 01:50:27.039
can get these things at a reasonable price. But if

1789
01:50:27.039 --> 01:50:30.680
you don't immediately you're going to be paying double triple

1790
01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:33.159
what's out there, because they don't make enough of them

1791
01:50:33.239 --> 01:50:35.279
to make them available to everybody, because they want to

1792
01:50:35.359 --> 01:50:39.000
keep the sort of collectibility up, so they limit the

1793
01:50:39.039 --> 01:50:42.920
supply that they offer of these certain things. So I

1794
01:50:43.479 --> 01:50:46.039
it's really cool that they have magic decks that are

1795
01:50:46.199 --> 01:50:49.720
Star Trek. I know I couldn't afford to get the

1796
01:50:49.760 --> 01:50:51.920
Doctor who Wants when they came out. It's basically, if

1797
01:50:51.960 --> 01:50:54.479
you want the best one, like the Dentist the David

1798
01:50:54.520 --> 01:50:57.920
Tennant deck, you're looking back then when it came out

1799
01:50:57.960 --> 01:51:00.399
at paying seventy to seventy five dollars for a deck

1800
01:51:00.439 --> 01:51:03.720
of cards. Same way with this right here, You've got

1801
01:51:03.760 --> 01:51:06.279
your card deck which is running for like seventy seventy

1802
01:51:06.279 --> 01:51:09.800
five bucks. All the other ones are worth less. So

1803
01:51:10.119 --> 01:51:12.079
the best way to buy these decks is to buy

1804
01:51:12.119 --> 01:51:14.680
them in packs of four and five where you actually

1805
01:51:14.680 --> 01:51:17.479
get a deal and then you get all the cards anyway,

1806
01:51:17.600 --> 01:51:19.600
So it's kind of a cool idea. You just got

1807
01:51:19.640 --> 01:51:21.880
to be willing to pay and buy into it. And

1808
01:51:21.920 --> 01:51:24.840
if you don't play Commander, then you're not even going

1809
01:51:24.920 --> 01:51:27.800
to use the cards. But Commander is a great game.

1810
01:51:28.039 --> 01:51:29.600
You just got to like have friends who want to

1811
01:51:29.600 --> 01:51:30.039
play it.

1812
01:51:30.840 --> 01:51:35.199
Right, But I will probably look into maybe picking up

1813
01:51:35.239 --> 01:51:38.359
some of the Commander decks and pick up some of

1814
01:51:38.399 --> 01:51:41.479
the deck box at the Booster sets to see if

1815
01:51:41.479 --> 01:51:44.680
I can get a small set going more for collecting

1816
01:51:44.720 --> 01:51:45.479
instead of playing.

1817
01:51:47.039 --> 01:51:48.560
I mean, it's Star trek Man, It's cool.

1818
01:51:49.039 --> 01:51:49.279
Yeah.

1819
01:51:50.279 --> 01:51:53.720
And the Red deck, the Red deck is the Klingon deck.

1820
01:51:54.560 --> 01:51:57.439
I mean, red is the red and Magic the Gathering

1821
01:51:57.520 --> 01:51:59.479
is kind of the aggressive color. It's the color that

1822
01:51:59.520 --> 01:52:01.760
allows you to do like direct damage to people, and

1823
01:52:01.800 --> 01:52:05.000
you've got really aggressive characters and stuff. So that's totally consistent.

1824
01:52:05.079 --> 01:52:09.119
Jim. Maybe the cars that they've spoiled, like right there

1825
01:52:09.119 --> 01:52:12.840
on the screen, we have Dreadnock from Prodigy they've included

1826
01:52:14.000 --> 01:52:18.479
all of Star Trek. Nice so you'll see vgre there's

1827
01:52:18.520 --> 01:52:20.920
even a car for George and Gracie the Whale from

1828
01:52:20.960 --> 01:52:24.199
Starture four. I didn't see any cars from Structure five yet,

1829
01:52:24.239 --> 01:52:26.640
but I'm sure that's such a great movie. I'm sure

1830
01:52:26.640 --> 01:52:31.399
it's represented. So yeah, I'm interested. I'm not a magic player,

1831
01:52:32.159 --> 01:52:34.439
but I would play this one because it's Star Trek

1832
01:52:34.640 --> 01:52:37.840
if I can afford it. That So now this next

1833
01:52:37.840 --> 01:52:42.399
story I put in specifically for Vuh. She got kicked off,

1834
01:52:42.479 --> 01:52:44.880
so Eric, you want to finish off the show.

1835
01:52:45.800 --> 01:52:49.079
Actually, I think the V's audio is here, but we

1836
01:52:49.199 --> 01:52:50.279
just can't see her picture.

1837
01:52:51.119 --> 01:52:52.399
We can hear.

1838
01:52:51.600 --> 01:52:58.880
I can figure, yeah, she's here, so go ahead here.

1839
01:52:59.000 --> 01:52:59.640
I don't fear.

1840
01:53:00.640 --> 01:53:01.760
Oh, I'm yeah.

1841
01:53:01.840 --> 01:53:04.840
I don't know what happened, but I'm here, So all right,

1842
01:53:04.960 --> 01:53:09.760
let's read it while I still am Yeah. Mike McMahon's

1843
01:53:09.840 --> 01:53:12.159
teases Star Trek Lower Decks movie.

1844
01:53:12.840 --> 01:53:14.000
It's been almost two.

1845
01:53:13.960 --> 01:53:17.840
Years since the award winning animated comedy Star Trek Lower

1846
01:53:17.920 --> 01:53:21.840
Decks wrapped up on Paramount Bus, but the appetite for

1847
01:53:21.960 --> 01:53:25.720
more stories from the crew of the USS Soritos has

1848
01:53:25.760 --> 01:53:30.159
not acted one person who clearly wants to see more

1849
01:53:30.399 --> 01:53:34.800
is serious creator and showrunner Mike McMahon, who made it

1850
01:53:34.920 --> 01:53:39.640
clear in his latest social media post. McMahon joined series

1851
01:53:39.720 --> 01:53:44.600
star Tawny Newsom, who also quoted the idea of the

1852
01:53:44.640 --> 01:53:47.960
Lower Decks movie earlier this year, saying I think that

1853
01:53:48.039 --> 01:53:52.439
an animated movie is not that hard a sell, adding

1854
01:53:52.600 --> 01:53:56.119
that the industry is in a wild place sat for

1855
01:53:56.159 --> 01:53:59.720
a franchise that's trying to grow and for a new corporation,

1856
01:54:00.479 --> 01:54:03.760
let's trying to see how to keep uh, how to

1857
01:54:03.880 --> 01:54:08.600
keep bringing people in. It's like we're cheap, We're available.

1858
01:54:09.760 --> 01:54:14.359
Ahead of the sky Damp takeover of Paramount, Mike McMahon

1859
01:54:14.399 --> 01:54:17.159
told Trek Movie he had a plan to pitch more

1860
01:54:17.199 --> 01:54:21.640
Lower Decks, saying, when the industry and Paramount seems to.

1861
01:54:21.720 --> 01:54:22.399
Kind of be.

1862
01:54:24.279 --> 01:54:27.600
Sorry, uh in a place where Lower Decks can pop

1863
01:54:27.800 --> 01:54:30.680
back again, I'm going to make a hard push to

1864
01:54:30.760 --> 01:54:34.359
get to do whatever we get. As for what that

1865
01:54:34.560 --> 01:54:39.760
could be, he was open to hope more episodes the movie.

1866
01:54:39.680 --> 01:54:40.880
Live Action's thin off.

1867
01:54:42.600 --> 01:54:46.720
McMahon has already actually sort of started on this last

1868
01:54:47.319 --> 01:54:51.640
he penned one of the stories in IDW's upcoming sixtieth

1869
01:54:51.720 --> 01:54:56.000
Industry special comic and the title of his lower deck

1870
01:54:56.119 --> 01:54:59.520
story is the Search for Season.

1871
01:55:00.760 --> 01:55:02.920
The Comics, with almost two dozen.

1872
01:55:02.720 --> 01:55:06.880
Stories in a variety of covers, arrived in comic book

1873
01:55:07.000 --> 01:55:12.399
Chopped on September second, just ahead of Star Trek Ye.

1874
01:55:13.199 --> 01:55:16.279
All right, I hope that has to happen. I don't

1875
01:55:16.279 --> 01:55:18.359
know what paramount fuss being what it.

1876
01:55:18.279 --> 01:55:22.960
Is, we shall see. That would be awesome.

1877
01:55:27.800 --> 01:55:31.159
Like I said, you know, an animated movie doesn't require sets,

1878
01:55:31.199 --> 01:55:36.119
doesn't require studios, so they could do it relatively cheap

1879
01:55:36.159 --> 01:55:37.920
compared to a live action movie. That's quick.

1880
01:55:38.600 --> 01:55:41.119
They could reference a lot of contract including maybe it's

1881
01:55:41.159 --> 01:55:42.359
contract five, you never know.

1882
01:55:43.199 --> 01:55:45.680
Yeah, and if they're thinking about cheap, and that's the

1883
01:55:45.680 --> 01:55:48.880
way to do it, all right, guys, Well guess what

1884
01:55:49.880 --> 01:55:52.800
that wraps up? Another show? Hard to believe, isn't it.

1885
01:55:53.439 --> 01:55:56.680
So next week we have another gimmicky episode to talk about,

1886
01:55:56.720 --> 01:56:00.560
so we'll be back here seeing bad time, same bat channel.

1887
01:56:00.920 --> 01:56:02.720
So I want to take an opportunity to say thank

1888
01:56:02.720 --> 01:56:05.600
you to Paul for hanging out and Trek talking with us.

1889
01:56:05.600 --> 01:56:09.279
He had some connection problems and and got booted off,

1890
01:56:10.920 --> 01:56:13.079
so I'm sorry to see Paul go. I want to

1891
01:56:13.119 --> 01:56:19.720
say thank you to the who is here, but she's cloaked.

1892
01:56:21.239 --> 01:56:24.479
One week I'm an Andorian and the other week I'm

1893
01:56:24.720 --> 01:56:29.479
clo So yeah, yeah, she's Mulin.

1894
01:56:29.680 --> 01:56:32.399
Yeah. So thank you so much to be for hanging

1895
01:56:32.399 --> 01:56:35.239
out and Trek talking with us, and of course thank

1896
01:56:35.279 --> 01:56:37.079
you to Eric for hanging out and Trek talking with

1897
01:56:37.199 --> 01:56:37.560
us as well.

1898
01:56:37.680 --> 01:56:40.239
Thank you so much, Eric, Absolutely it was great to

1899
01:56:40.279 --> 01:56:40.640
be back.

1900
01:56:41.640 --> 01:56:44.399
And Charles, thank you to child for hanging out and

1901
01:56:44.479 --> 01:56:46.720
talking with us. And did you grab a the rol

1902
01:56:46.800 --> 01:56:48.079
deck for me while you were at it?

1903
01:56:49.640 --> 01:56:54.079
I actually was trying to get multiple decks and I'm

1904
01:56:54.119 --> 01:56:56.640
still waiting to see if anybody else grab any decks

1905
01:56:56.720 --> 01:56:59.479
for me. But I know this one person wants to

1906
01:56:59.560 --> 01:57:02.840
Cohn went Saturday and said, I can't they were gone.

1907
01:57:04.159 --> 01:57:05.640
It was a single deck loud.

1908
01:57:07.920 --> 01:57:10.760
I believe it. I believe like Eric said there, they're

1909
01:57:10.760 --> 01:57:12.760
going for close to one hundred dollars a piece right

1910
01:57:12.800 --> 01:57:15.359
now and they haven't been released yet.

1911
01:57:15.720 --> 01:57:19.000
So yeah, oh, I took. I talked to my game store.

1912
01:57:19.079 --> 01:57:21.800
I talked to my game store and they were surprised.

1913
01:57:21.800 --> 01:57:27.159
They said Magic rarely releases cards before shows cards before

1914
01:57:27.159 --> 01:57:30.239
they get released, and for these cards to get released

1915
01:57:30.279 --> 01:57:33.359
before the decks even come out is special.

1916
01:57:33.439 --> 01:57:33.960
It's uni.

1917
01:57:36.600 --> 01:57:39.479
Yeah, I want to cling on deck, so we'll see

1918
01:57:39.479 --> 01:57:43.159
if I can. One last, but not least, thank you

1919
01:57:43.239 --> 01:57:47.560
so much to our miracle worker David. Thank you so much, David.

1920
01:57:48.039 --> 01:57:49.880
Yeah, it's been great, and I just want to give

1921
01:57:49.920 --> 01:57:52.279
the time to say, hey, Eric, welcome back. I forgot

1922
01:57:52.319 --> 01:57:56.000
to say that earlier than I appreciate it.

1923
01:57:57.239 --> 01:58:01.359
And uh, Paul isn't here right now, but I have

1924
01:58:01.680 --> 01:58:06.439
finally got in touch with Brian Volkwise, of course everybody

1925
01:58:06.479 --> 01:58:09.359
knows from the sell toys, and he's going to be

1926
01:58:09.439 --> 01:58:13.520
joining us on September seventeenth to talk about all the

1927
01:58:13.560 --> 01:58:18.399
new Star Trek stuff, the bridge, the expanse. Who knows

1928
01:58:18.439 --> 01:58:21.319
what exciting things we're going to talk about, but I

1929
01:58:21.359 --> 01:58:23.520
know Paul's excited for this one and I'm glad I

1930
01:58:23.560 --> 01:58:25.920
was able to make it happen for Paul. So that

1931
01:58:25.960 --> 01:58:30.479
will be on September seventeen. So that's all the news

1932
01:58:30.560 --> 01:58:33.119
I have to share. I just want to wrap up

1933
01:58:33.159 --> 01:58:37.199
the show by saying Star Trek fans are the best fans.

1934
01:58:37.479 --> 01:58:40.520
Please everybody be good to each other and stay safe.

1935
01:58:40.720 --> 01:58:44.800
Failing frequencies are closed. Good night, everybody, good night.

1936
01:58:45.399 --> 01:58:52.359
