16
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.000
March six, twenty twenty five. Welcome to episode six hundred

17
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.439
and twenty five of Trek Talking. I'm your most excellent host,

18
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.079
Uncle Jim, and we're gonna have some fun tonight. But

19
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.640
before we dive into the excitement, let me go around

20
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.319
the room and introduce all of my awesome trek sports

21
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.480
to you. We're going to go out to Portland and

22
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.359
say hello to Eric. How you doing tonight?

23
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:35.719
Eric?

24
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.239
Well, Jim, I'm doing okay. It's Friday's eve. I've had

25
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.079
a heck of a day, but I just cracked my

26
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.519
Rogue brewery sasquatch. I'm sitting here about ready to talk

27
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.200
about Star Trek. So things are getting.

28
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.439
Better, excellent, and we're going to stick out in Portland

29
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.159
as well, and we're going to say hello to Paul,

30
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.319
our resident toy guy. How you doing tonight, Paul?

31
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.680
Hey, bro Scancho's doing okay. As Eric said, it's been

32
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.040
an interesting week on all fronts. But yeah, the camaraderie

33
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.240
and silliness of a Thursday night podcast may just be

34
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:11.759
the prescription that we all need.

35
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.919
Yes, I would agree. And sticking with Portland, I think

36
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.840
there's something in the water. We have our very own

37
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:18.639
miracle worker.

38
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:19.280
David.

39
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:20.240
How you doing tonight?

40
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:20.639
David?

41
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.199
All right, I forgot to turn on my beaper here. Yeah,

42
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.240
I'm doing pretty good. Everything going good. It shuns out

43
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.400
that the wind blowing. I gotta shut that shuts stay weird,

44
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.439
so you know, can real.

45
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:46.960
I've got my Indiana Jones shirt on, and we're gonna

46
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.719
not go to Portland. We're gonna cruise out to Vegas

47
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:51.199
and we're gonna say hello to Charles. How are you

48
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:51.680
doing tonight?

49
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:52.400
Charles?

50
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.080
I'm doing all right now thinking about Hey, Star Trek,

51
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.840
we haven't created weather stations yet. We could use some

52
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.240
weather stations and maybe get rid of some of this wind.

53
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.319
It's like, Okay, if we're gonna get rain, get rain.

54
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.000
If we're not going to get rain, we're not going

55
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.360
to get rain. But we could use some of these

56
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:12.360
weather stations.

57
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.159
We're going to be getting some snow here in Vermont,

58
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.199
so' not looking forward to that at all.

59
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.639
You're still getting snow in March. Wow, Yeah, we're getting

60
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:23.680
that is crazy.

61
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.080
It is crazy. I'm going to move out to Vegas.

62
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:28.120
That's what I'm moving with Charles.

63
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.400
So it's I don't know. I missed most of this

64
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.639
because I was in California most of last week, but

65
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.400
I think David and Eric probably can tell you. There

66
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.080
was a pretty significant storm here like Monday night, right,

67
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.879
big windstorm is what I heard. So I was listening

68
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.000
to a show today where they're interviewing one of the

69
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.479
bar pilots on the not bar but the bar of

70
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.319
the river, right the Columbia bar pilots, right at the

71
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:55.840
mouth of the Columbia River. They had record sixty three

72
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.520
foot waves. Wow. They normally get like at a big

73
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.000
storm for them that they say, okay, if we've got

74
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.280
a rough one. If you know they get thirty foot waves, right,

75
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.159
this sucker brought in over sixty foot waves. Just unbelievable.

76
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.879
And here it is like you know, you know, it's

77
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.360
like late February when this happens. This is just nuts.

78
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.319
So weather, it's just crazy all over, I guess and

79
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:21.759
other stations could be helpful.

80
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:23.519
Childs Yeah, that would be helpful.

81
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.600
We gotta get something going on, but it just gets

82
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:27.959
crazier and crazier all the time.

83
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.480
So so before we go too far, I want to

84
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.519

David's triple and we will play your message on the

100
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:30.879
very next show. Speaking of which, on Sunday, March ninth,

101
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.240
we're gonna be talking to Ben Robinson. And Ben Robinson

102
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.839
is like a Star Trek guru. He's been involved in

103
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.079
well a lot of Star Trek. Currently he's working for

104
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.079
Master Replicas on the new Star Trek line. So if

105
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.319
you have a question for him while you're at Trek

106
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.720
Talking dot com, record your question for Ben and we

107
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.480
will play it for him on Sunday and get an

108
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.600
answer for you. So tonight's show, because we don't have

109
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.720
any live Star Trek talk about, we have to wait

110
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:06.680
for season three of Strange New Worlds. I was cruising

111
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.120
around the internet. I noticed that Star Trek, the animated series,

112
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.920
doesn't get a lot of love, unfortunately, And I don't

113
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.959
think that's fair because I think there's some great stories there,

114
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:21.879
but people get hung up on that clunky seventies kind

115
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:28.399
of herky jerky animation style. So I stumbled across this company.

116
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.279
I think it's a company. It might be a fan

117
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.160
that thought it might be fun to remake all of

118
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.240
the Star Trek animated series in eighties anime style. Now

119
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.759
I'm not a huge anime fan, I will admit that,

120
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.759
but it caught my eye. So we're going to talk

121
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.439
about Star Trek the anime series, and we have a

122
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.800
clip that they put together that we're going to show

123
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.240
for you guys. And I also for those of you

124
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.240
who are not familiar with Star Trek the animated series,

125
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.199
there's another fan group out there who are taking all

126
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.439
of the TG episodes and making them in TAS animated style,

127
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.480
and I pulled the clip from the best of both worlds.

128
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.399
So if you guys have never seen the animated series,

129
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.920
we'll play a little clip from the TNG animated series

130
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.480
so you get an idea of what the the animation

131
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:22.160
look like. And then we'll watch the clip of the anime.

132
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.759
It's from Japan, I believe, and we'll talk about it.

133
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.360
So that's what's going to be going on tonight, and

134
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.439
you can go over while you're at our truck talking

135
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.160
dot Com there's a link to our Facebook page. You

136
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.120
can head over there. We have all kinds of pull

137
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.879
questions there, and there's a question at the top of

138
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.639
the page asking hey, dude, where are you listening from?

139
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.399
And all I need to do is drop us a

140
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:52.560
little a little hey, I'm listening to you in Yugoslavia,

141
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.399
and try to leave a lot of a lot of

142
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.319
emojis that catches my attention. So, without any further ado,

143
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:02.839
let's into our fan shout out and we're gonna have

144
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:04.480
Eric start us off tonight.

145
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.600
Take it away, Eric, Jim. I'm so excited to once

146
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.800
again be hearing from Sheffield, England, and we're saying hello

147
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:14.120
this week to Rachel Louise Lamberton, who sent us a

148
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.720
nice little hearts around the face emoj you, which I

149
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.240
can only assume that she absolutely loves our podcast and

150
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:23.160
is hopefully listening right now. If you are, Rachel, just

151
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.800
we really appreciate your support and can't believe how many

152
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.240
people love us in the UK. It's pretty awesome. It

153
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.320
seems like a very reasonable place and a very cool

154
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.960
place to live right now. So thanks for saying hi

155
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.240
to us. I'm also saying hi this week to Martina Keras,

156
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:44.320
who's saying hello to us from Sele, Germany, Lower Saxony

157
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.039
near Hanover. I'm not familiar with that Aria, Martina, but

158
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.080
I bet it's amazing. Germany's got all kinds of cool food.

159
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.639
I took German in high school, so I speak a

160
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.519
little bit of your language too, so I'll just say

161
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.600
that you probably believe that star Trek says als Bekauzich

162
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.879

165
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.159
We don't get a whole lot of shout outs from Hungary,

166
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.799
but we always appreciate fans who listen to us there

167

00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.600
a little time in Gilbert back in the mid eighties,

179
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.279

180
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.440
think we might know this person. Top fan Leslie Sawyer

181
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:13.799

185
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:35.480

186
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:37.279

00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.039

195
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:24.840

to Paul Well.

200
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.799
Thank you, David, very kind of you, my friend. Let's

201
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:48.480
remind ourselves that it's a pretty global audience that savers

202
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:53.480
Star Trek on whatever platform you care to name, all

203
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.600
over the planet. Folks to Star Trek fans, we have

204
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:59.159
a lot in common. Like our friend Dietrich Kamer in Hanover,

205
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:03.600
Germany is letting us know that Dietrich is also a

206
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.759
Star Trek fan. Fantastic there south of Hamburg if I

207
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:11.600
recollect Hanover, but absolutely spectacular part of the planet and

208
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.440
wonderful to know that it's full of Star Trek fans.

209
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.480
So thanks for letting us know, Dietrick, and it's great

210
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:18.120
to hear from you.

211
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:19.200
Uh.

212
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:23.639
And we had dual alliances from our next fan here,

213
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:30.519
Andre Switzer, is letting us know Vulcan hand signs and

214
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.799
many many flags proclaiming that they have dual allegiance to

215
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:38.159
both Germany and Croatia. So a lot of stuff going

216
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.960
on there. It's it's it's not a not a brisk walk.

217
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.000
You know, you've got all of Slovenia and Austria between

218
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.080
those two countries, so you've got to really rack up

219
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.840
the frequent flyer miles without any question to pull that

220
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:56.279
one off. Andre. But great to know that whichever destination

221
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.600
you're hanging your hat, you are letting us know you

222
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:02.440
love star treks, so that's fantastic and not too far

223
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:07.159
away again letting us know big fan of all things

224
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:10.279
vulcan Is cab zobis from France. I don't know where

225
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.960
in France the cab Is is listening to us from,

226
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.039
but it's great to know you're out there and wonderful

227
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.120
to hear you're a fellow enthusiast, my friend, so thank you.

228
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.120
And then we have our good friend Jakub nize Goda

229
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:29.000
in Lublin, Poland with the Polish flag billowing proudly in

230
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:31.759
the wind. There. It is really really it just makes

231
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.159
me every time I do this segment, I just want

232
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.759
to get on a plane and go to Europe. Frankly,

233
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:40.000
I mean every single time. It's just sometimes you just

234
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:44.960
really crave other cultures. Can I just say like that

235
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:49.919
sometimes you really crave other cultures, other food, other you know,

236
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.440
ways of engaging with one's fellows, you know. And I

237
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.039
would be very happy to sit in a Parisian hotel

238
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.600
room and watch the episode of the original series it

239
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.240
was dumbed in Fringe. I think I would enjoy that enormously.

240
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:06.919
I think that would that needs to be on my

241
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:08.960
bucket list of things to do. I think I would

242
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.759
have a really good time doing that. So International Star

243
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:17.039
Trek friends, we salute you and thank you for reminding

244
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.639
us that we all have more in common than we

245
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:24.279
do things that separate us. So a good reminder. Let's

246
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.480
pass things over to Uncle Jim.

247
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.519
Why, thank you, Paul. Look at those good looking dudes

248
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.240
on the screen there, Eric, you see them good looking dudes.

249
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.879
I see a klingon, I see a little bit of

250
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.639
Lieutenant j there, and I see some guy with super

251
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:39.320

264
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:16.519
Little Star Trek for you all.

So here we go, there we go, Yeah, there we go.

270
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:30.480

Star Trek world. And so here we go with our poll.

00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.000
Poll in poll in poling.

298
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.920
You know me like, no win what you thought about

299
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:06.720
the show.

300
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:12.880
When we try to share your opinions with all of

301
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:17.039
our minions out there because they listen worldwide.

302
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.079
So tell us just what you think. Get together we

303
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:28.680
will all drink canar and robulin a. I gotta say,

304
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.799
my favorite part of that song right now is watching

305
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.640
Paul poorly lip SyncE it. It's amazing.

306
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:35.440
I like them.

307
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:37.319
I like the minions thing myself.

308
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.319
We're security reasons. I have a slight delay, right, that's

309
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.599
what it is to make sure you know, to make

310
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.440
sure that you know no no harm makes total sense,

311
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.359
no harmful worms get through.

312
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.480
We don't want that at all. So, uh, Eric, why

313
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:55.920
don't we find out what our minions thought about our

314
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.279
poll questions this week?

315
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:01.559
Absolutely? Jim. Our first poll question is in Star Trek

316
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:07.319
Enterprise's fourth season episode Divergence, Section thirty one has kidnapped

317
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.440
doctor Flox to work on a cure for the Klingon

318
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:15.759
augment virus. Did Section thirty one do the right thing

319
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:21.759
by kidnapping Doctor Flox? Eighty eight percent of our responders

320
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:25.359
said yes, Section thirty one did the right thing, and

321
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:29.640
twelve percent of our responders said nah, Section thirty one

322
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.480
didn't do the right thing. So there you have it,

323
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:36.440
a lot of love for section thirty one. What do

324
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.640
you guys think?

325
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:39.720
No?

326
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:44.640
I don't think the episode was necessary myself.

327
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:47.039
But that's not the question, Jim.

328
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.880
No, that's not a question. Since I came up with

329
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:59.079
the question, that's what that question. You know, is kidnapping ever?

330
00:18:59.240 --> 00:18:59.440
Right?

331
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.319
You now see. That's a good question.

332
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:06.920
I think, Yeah, they kidnapped him and forced him to

333
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.279
work on a cure against his will. It's a good

334
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:14.200
thing he did because General Klingon Poopa there, a guy

335
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.880
was gonna wipe everybody out if he didn't come up

336
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:19.039
with a cure, which is good because he wanted to

337
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.559
see enterprise continue. But I don't think they made the

338
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.519
right choice. I think kidnapping Flocks was.

339
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:26.279
Not a good choice.

340
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.160
I think, you know, had they approached him and said, yo, dude,

341
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:31.880
you know the Klingons are gonna wipe everybody out. You know,

342
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.559
we know you can come up with a cure and

343
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.119
asked him, he probably would have gone with them willingly.

344
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.079
So I don't think they did the right thing. No,

345
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:44.720
So I guess I'm in the U. I'm in the

346
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:46.720
twelve percent minority in this pool.

347
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.880
Yeah, wow, what about the rest y'all?

348
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:50.480
What about you?

349
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:50.960
Charles?

350
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:57.440
I don't remember the episode, but I'm thinking this is

351
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.000
where we sat there and talked about where Warf had

352
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.559
has to come up with the thing where we don't

353
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.599
talk about these Klingons and all of this, and it's like,

354
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:12.680
did we really need to try changing history to why

355
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.200
we had we had different cling up, different different looking

356
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:20.400
Klingons in the sixties, and we did the eighties.

357
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:22.920
Answer the questions.

358
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:25.759
I think I was in the I think I was.

359
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:29.240
I believe I was in the twelve percent that said, no.

360
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:31.240
There are four lights.

361
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.519
Charles, Wow, we're both in the minority.

362
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:37.279
But I say.

363
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:41.160
Three point five nine.

364
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:50.200
I honestly can't remember what I selected for this toll,

365
00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:55.240
and I I'm trying to remember the episode because I

366
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.599
remember Charles mentioned that it was the episode where they

367
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:05.319
change Kleonons and everything. But I don't have to go

368
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:08.519
with you, guys. I mean it kidnapping a good thing.

369
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:12.200
I would I would agree with you Jim that he

370
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.720
would probably gone wind willingly willingly.

371
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:18.200
Well, Paul, I guess you get to bring up the

372
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.720
caboose on this intellectual and stimulating questions.

373
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.480
I don't know, it's been a billion years since I've

374
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:26.880
seen these particular episodes. I don't remember the you know,

375
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.000
minutia of their motivations for doing so right. But you know,

376
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.359
it's like whose playbook are you following? Right? It's like

377
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:38.240
kidnapping scientists, hmm. Doesn't seem like a great ethical thing.

378
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:40.160
Kind of seems like you might have more in common

379
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:44.359
with I don't know the Gestapo than you know, uh,

380
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.799
you know, Habitat for Humanity. But the only other you

381
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:51.400
know thing from the same playbook is if like, rather

382
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:55.039
than you know, kidnapping, said scientists, you kidnap, said scientists

383
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.160
love one and threatened to, you know, blow their brains

384
00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:59.680
out if they don't help you out right, I mean,

385
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:02.799
it's basically the same tactic. You know, it's it's kind

386
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:07.839
of extortion and and dare I say it fascist mentality?

387
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.640
You know? But so yeah, I'm thinking probably not. And

388
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.839
again it's just like it's it's tough to get much

389
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:16.880
more in detail on that.

390
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:22.599
So so I'm going to say no, section thirty one,

391
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.799
Section thirty one fascists and after seeing the recent movie

392
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.960
poorly Dressed Fascists at that, so, you know.

393
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:32.559
I mean, that makes it unanimous. Every one of our texperts,

394
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:35.119
including myself, thinks that it was a bad idea because

395
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:39.640
kidnapping is never good. But since I have the actual caboose,

396
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:41.839
I'm gonna disagree with Jim and say it was a

397
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.640
necessary episode and I liked that they made it.

398
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:47.599
Okay, answer the question.

399
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:55.440
I answered it first, So there you go all right, well,

400
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:57.680
well that does it for all our opinions. So we

401
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:00.440
are in complete disagreement with our responders, so thank you

402
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:04.960
for that. Our next poll question goes back to a

403
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.960
awesome one off episode that I think we may be

404
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:13.079
all excited to see another character coming up from in

405
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:16.400
a future show here in the tr No. Actually just

406
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:18.640
came out in section thirty one. That's right, in the

407
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:24.039
TNG episode Yesterday's Enterprise, Captain Picard transfers Tashi Yar at

408
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:28.400
her request to serve aboard the NCC seventeen oh one C.

409
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.359
This decision impacts future events in unexpected ways. Do you

410
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.720
agree with his decision? And of course I was referring

411
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:39.039
to Rachel Garrett just having shown up in section thirty

412
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:42.680
one from that episode, But ninety percent of our responders

413
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:45.960
said that Captain Picard did the right thing. Tasha Yar

414
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:50.839
made a request, he fulfilled it, deal done, Timelines be damned,

415
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:56.079
and ten percent of our responders said, nah, he should

416
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:57.039
have made a different decision.

417
00:23:59.200 --> 00:23:59.880
So there you go.

418
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.680
Looks like Paul speaking in slow motion about his opinions

419
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.640
on this one.

420
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:09.359
She's in a time loop.

421
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.920
I was just gonna say, you know, hold on, a second, though.

422
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.240
I mean, I don't feel like we're completely catching the

423
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:20.079
whole ball here, right, because it wasn't just like Hi, Captainricartter,

424
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:22.160
I like to get transferred over to the Enterprise. I

425
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:24.480
wasn't a lot of this at the behest of the

426
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:29.680
perception of Guy in it and her intervention. Yes, that's

427
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.720
what I'm remembering, right that she was basically you know,

428
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:35.920
you don't belong here, sister, right towards that effect, right,

429
00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:41.480
I mean that's what I'm remembering, am I how off base? Okay?

430
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:43.240
So I don't think it was just like her you know,

431
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:49.920
impulsiveness because of you know, getting caught up in the moment.

432
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.160
I think she was like sensing that, like there are

433
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:54.839
forces to play in the universe, destiny, what have you

434
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:58.400
alignment that that I kind of need to not push

435
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:00.880
back against and just feeling like I don't feel right here,

436
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:04.039
but I do feel right here and listening to that

437
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.640
inner voice. That's what I got from that episode.

438
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:10.519
Yeah, and Gynan being the guru that knows the way

439
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.359
the timeline is supposed to flow, so to speak, and

440
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:17.119
thereby giving advice to set things straight. I like how

441
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:20.839
Guynan's in that kind of a power position, but yet

442
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.240
she's not the one making the final decisions. She's just

443
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:28.000
there as the trusted, you know, guru that that knows

444
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:30.200
the way things are supposed to go and the decide

445
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:30.880
what they want to do.

446
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:33.480
I love guyan Man because it's like, you know, I

447
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.240
was just thinking about her the other day because I

448
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:39.160
don't know, it was on some Facebook page trek Talking

449
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:42.440
Podcasts something like that, Somebody's put up a picture of

450
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:48.000
like Peleia from uh Streaming the worlds, right, and I'm like,

451
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.480
and I'm thinking about, like, what a missed opportunity with

452
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.960
that character, right, because supposedly she's been around for like

453
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:57.079
centuries and she's at all this perspective seeing all development.

454
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.200
Meant guind live with the mesopotamiums, whatever whatever, whatever, right,

455
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.880
and she's got very little insight or observation to contribute

456
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:08.960
to what she sees or to be an advisor help

457
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.400
her or provide any wisdom, right, compared to Guynan, who

458
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:15.640
I think Gynan always really, you know, you know, in

459
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.920
a very compelling and succinct way, kind of helped you

460
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.400
find your way when you were in a conundrum. Right.

461
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:23.279
So I just wish that they would do more with

462
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:25.240
that character instead of having her just sort of be

463
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:29.640
you know, you know, awkward comic relief, you know, because

464
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:31.640
Guynan was a great character. I think I think she

465
00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:33.720
you know, initially people were like, will be Goldberg on

466
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:36.480
Star Trek, how's that going to work? And it episode

467
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:38.240
one worked just great. As soon as she was on.

468
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:42.000
There was a great fit and I think a breath

469
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:45.319
of fresh air. So they could still fix Pellia.

470
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:47.839
But well, let me ask you this, Paul So Pellia

471
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.119
and guy it, I don't disagree with you. Also, Pellia

472
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:55.680
has a very different position on the ship than Gynan had.

473
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:59.559
Gyan was the bartender, right and even in real life,

474
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.519
like the bartender is the one you go to to

475
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:05.440
like tell your troubles too, and then they sort of

476
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:10.160
you know, dish out wisdom. Yeah, yeah, behind the bar.

477
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:13.480
Could they even make Pelly into that kind of a character,

478
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:16.759
beings that she's in the engineering department.

479
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:19.200
Sure, because people could track her down and like the

480
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.240
you know, the what, you know, the whatever wherever the

481
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:24.759
hell they are eating lunch, and with the conference room

482
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:27.759
whatever it is, you know, the cafeteria whatever it is,

483
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:30.039
a dining room, I guess it would be right or whatever,

484
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.200
Like it just seems like or people would go to her, right,

485
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:35.720
I would think would be something. I mean, that's you know,

486
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.400
when you need Pike in particular, it's in a situation

487
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:42.519
where he's got a lot of conundrums because of his situation, right,

488
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:45.200
and what he knows and you know, grappling with you

489
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.640
know which sometimes it seems like he's conveniently forgotten for

490
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:51.079
long stretches at a time, right where he's not grappling

491
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:54.640
with that mortality issue. Right. But it seems like some

492
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:58.039
perspective somebody who's hung out with like famous philosophers and

493
00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:01.160
Freud and whoever, right, could could really helpful to bang

494
00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:04.000
things off of. And I think it would make good drama,

495
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:06.559
good storytelling to have her be more involved in like

496
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:09.480
just saying, hey, did you think about this kind of thing?

497
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:12.519
So I'd like to you know, Calke's no slouched, all right,

498
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:15.000
just good actress, done a lot of good work, right,

499
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.519
And so I feel like she's being you know, kind

500
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:21.119
of underutilized. Yeah, I treated a little dismissively with this

501
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:24.680
scatter brained nonsense, right. I mean it's just you know,

502
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:28.279
it's a well do more, give us more, you know.

503
00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:30.880
You have to realize that we haven't even seen shooting

504
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.599
three or four yet, so they could great back.

505
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:35.759
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. This is how I

506
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:38.319
gently tease the season that we've to get to watch.

507
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:41.279
She did come from Vermont, though she was hanging out

508
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:42.480
in Burlington.

509
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:46.720
And everyone I've ever met from Vermont is very insightful

510
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:51.079
and uh well adjusted. Well and almost everyone and uh,

511
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:54.480
you know, generally pretty have a good person to talk

512
00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:56.880
to get perspective, right, certainly, or go have a pint

513
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.720
of catamount with or whatever. Right. But yeah, I just

514
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:01.160
I just.

515
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:05.079
You know, I you know, I don't I I don't

516
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:06.279
think Picard made the right.

517
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:08.519
Choice in this case. Yeah, I guess my point is

518
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.200
Gun in big shoes, right, Uh, great character. So I

519
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:14.839
just had any opportunity to squeeze gun It into a

520
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.200
Yesterday's Enterprise conversation, got to do it because such a

521
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:18.759
great episode.

522
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:21.160
I don't think that Picard made the right choice in

523
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.960
this case, but I want to I want to justify

524
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:27.400
that by saying that the Picard that we see in

525
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:31.400
this episode is not the Picard that we know from TNG.

526
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:36.279
This is a worn, torn Picard, and the Federation's on

527
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.920
the verge of getting wiped out. He's not the great

528
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.880
explorer that we know from TNG. This is a different

529
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:45.400
version of Picard, So you know, he's not looking at

530
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.680
things like, well, geez, maybe Celia's maybe she's gonna get pregnant,

531
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:50.759
have the baby. She's gonna come back in the future

532
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.160
and kill off Spot and all this other stuff is

533
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:56.160
going to happen because of what I do today. He's

534
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.359
not that type of character. This particular Picard that wee

535
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:04.160
the only character who's, like Paul said, that is the same.

536
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.200
It's pretty much Guyan. But that's because I think I

537
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:12.920
think time moves around her. Maybe she's not in the

538
00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:18.759
time tunnel like we are. So yeah, I think you're right, Paul.

539
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.759
I think she's a different character. So I personally, I

540
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:24.359
don't think that Picard made the right choice. I think

541
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:29.079
that if it was our Picard from TNG and not

542
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.799
this war captain, he might have made a different choice,

543
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:37.880
But in this case it wasn't, So I don't think

544
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:39.079
he made the right choice.

545
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:43.400
What about you, Oh well.

546
00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:48.319
I was just going to say that I kind of

547
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:51.400
agree that time moved around Guyan and the fact that

548
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:54.640
she also isn't affected by Q, which I thought was

549
00:30:54.720 --> 00:31:00.480
kind of an interesting thing, although string to no hard share.

550
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:02.400
He came up with that whole backdoor at the guy,

551
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:06.680
which is kind of weird. But anyways, I honestly don't

552
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:14.279
really I think that Picard really had a choice. I

553
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:16.920
kind of agree with Eric or Paul. I mean so

554
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:21.200
I the whole guiding thing it was actually heard that

555
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:27.400
kind of helped guide the decision too. Uh what we

556
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:30.960
have for this episode, so I know, I can't really

557
00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:34.119
like again for the last poll, I can't remember what

558
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:36.599
I chose In a while, I had so much stuff

559
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:38.759
to do with the whole slide show making stuff. But

560
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:44.440
uh yeah, right now the decision, I don't know. I

561
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:50.440
would have to say yes, probably maybe no. So yeah,

562
00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:51.079
I don't know.

563
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.960
Classic David response. I love it. Yeah, yes, but maybe

564
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:04.440
not but maybe but probably not. But it could me.

565
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:07.720
I think David invented. David invented the rules for the

566
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:12.440
card game Fisbin. I'm pretty sure, right, unless it's Tuesday

567
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:17.119
on Tuesday and it's raining, then that's the case, then

568
00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:23.119
you play it too. Unless it's dark, if it's at night,

569
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.000
then you don't play at all.

570
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:31.960
I love it well, I guess, I guess I get

571
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:35.119
to come of a go boose and throw monkey wrenches

572
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:41.799
and things. Yes, there's the enterprise, in my interpretation, is

573
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:48.519
an alternate universe, so things have changed. Well, when they

574
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:54.000
returned back to their normal timeline, could Pasha Yar been

575
00:32:54.000 --> 00:33:00.559
brought back because she's dead, so now she's an alternative line,

576
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:03.799
She's gonna suddenly come back, And it's like, Okay, she

577
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:07.559
came back from the dead, and I'm not sure ron

578
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:10.200
Berry wanted the deal with bringing the dead back at

579
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:21.119
that time. Okay, bringing Spock back, as that was a

580
00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:25.799
mistake losing spot in the first place. But oh, let's

581
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:29.160
bring Tasha back. But Tasha doesn't want to be on

582
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:34.720
the Tasha's not on the show. So I think partly

583
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.160
Cardon made the right decision because I don't think she

584
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:41.119
was going to end up coming back anyway, and she

585
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:47.319
made an interesting timeline to she changed the alternative timeline,

586
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:54.160
reconnected the original timeline, and create a new timeline, so

587
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:57.960
it makes things a little confusing. Sorry Paul, but I'm

588
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.920
definitely agreeing that Ricard made the right decision because I

589
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:05.319
don't think she was gonna come back anyway. But you

590
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:11.800
want to Shay No, right, well, you know, yes, no,

591
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.159
I'm saying he didn't make the right decision because I

592
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.760
think it was the right decision for the decision for

593
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:17.239
the show.

594
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.719
Okay, yeah, and they they are.

595
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.159
And they did have that little cop out there where

596
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:28.280
Picard asked Celia, what can I meet your mother? Oh? No,

597
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:30.639
they killed her. She's dead, Like of course, you know,

598
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.199
why why not? Why would you do that? All right, guys,

599
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:36.280
So those are our poll questions for this week, and

600
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:39.239
you can head over to our Facebook page and find

601
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:42.719
out the next wonderfully enticing question that I came up with.

602
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:45.239
All right, guys, So now we're gonna we're actually gonna

603
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:49.320
dive into our topic of the evening and uh that

604
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:53.719
basically is Star Trek, the animated series and kind of

605
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:56.280
what if question. So the first video I want to

606
00:34:56.320 --> 00:35:00.239
show you, guys is a TNG video. It's a best

607
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:05.480
of both worlds done in classic seventies to os style.

608
00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:08.639
So Miracle Worker, you want to run that for us?

609
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:15.599
Let's hope at the right one.

610
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:20.960
Direction Dead nine damage report.

611
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:23.559
Structural latching system is pretty breached.

612
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:24.840
Companded things out of here.

613
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:26.159
Number one fire up.

614
00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:28.920
The edges have impulsively clear than ebular and punching out

615
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:42.480
the water food to Beata bays engage. Tractor Beam is

616
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:46.960
attempting to luck on fine Will rotating she frequency she

617
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:47.559
was failing.

618
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:52.320
Chuctor Beam has locked on.

619
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:46.320
They've already adapted to the new freaking season. Portship is disengaging,

620
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:49.440
leaving at warp speed maintain pursuit.

621
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:53.000
Work.

622
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:57.199
Vessels has reached warp nine nine point four nine point

623
00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:01.079
six day with him Raggado O'Brien negive things on the captain.

624
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:04.440
There's some kind of interference catalog in.

625
00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:08.800
A single Senior officers report to the bridge, Sir, the

626
00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:11.480
coordners they have said they're on a direct course the

627
00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:15.320
sector in zero zero one the term system.

628
00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:18.079
Earth.

629
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:28.480
All right, guys, So that is the best of both worlds,

630
00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:32.199
done in the t A S animated style. And they

631
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:34.280
may have noticed that they even kept the music in

632
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.039
that they didn't use TNG music, they used that classic

633
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:41.960
animated music. So what what did you think, Eric?

634
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:44.679
Did you like? Did you like it?

635
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:46.119
That was amazing?

636
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:46.679
Yeah?

637
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:51.199
I loved it. I loved the I loved the animation style.

638
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:54.400
I loved the adaptation of it. It really felt like

639
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:59.960
an animated series, you know, show or version of the show.

640
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:04.239
I love that they had the Zeta Kazinti on the

641
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:08.599
at the Helm there. That was super cool, kind of

642
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:10.800
a call back to having Eric's at the Helm instead

643
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:15.639
of uh, instead of Checkov, you know. Uh so uh yeah.

644
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:18.599
I just thought that was fantastic. And you know, I

645
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:20.760
was like, listening to the dialogue, I'm like, oh, yeah,

646
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:22.360
I've heard this dialogue and then I realized it was

647
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.119
exactly the dialogue from the show or from the movie

648
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:29.719
that they had just adapted. And they used some of

649
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.519
the old timey sound effects too, which was kind of fun.

650
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:34.679
I don't know, just had a great flavor and a

651
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:35.639
great ara to it.

652
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:37.639
So I loved it. Yeah, I would.

653
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:41.519
I would wouldn't mind watching more of the episodes in

654
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:43.920
that style, I think, Yeah, I.

655
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:46.519
Mean, maybe fun to see more of the more existing

656
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:49.199
at but it's fun to see new content like in

657
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:52.280
that style, you know, some story that we haven't had before.

658
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:55.960
Actually, there is a comp there is somebody on YouTube

659
00:38:56.000 --> 00:39:00.480
that is actually doing that. So well, what about Charles,

660
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:02.440
What did you think about it? Did you like that

661
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:12.039
better than the original tas or or about the same. Yeah,

662
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:13.000
he's muted.

663
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.519
I'm sorry. I had a little issue with my navigator.

664
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:21.000
I think it'd be interesting to actually see the episode,

665
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:25.320
the two episodes side by side, and to actually see

666
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:30.320
what happens between the two, to see how they resemble

667
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:36.679
each other. I definitely would not mind seeing some TNG

668
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:41.039
in the TOS format, as I am an old school

669
00:39:41.079 --> 00:39:48.079
Saturday Morning cartoons fan and enjoy animation eventually a little

670
00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:51.960
bit of some of the new stuff, so definitely interesting.

671
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:53.440
I'd be curious to see what they do.

672
00:39:56.360 --> 00:39:58.239
What about you, David, I mean, you and I already

673
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:00.559
watched these when we set the show up, but now

674
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:02.280
you get to share your opinions.

675
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:02.440
With the world.

676
00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:08.199
Well, well guess what I thought. So yeah, I really

677
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:11.719
thought the car fitting well without bald boards. You know.

678
00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:13.960
I think they just wanted to bring him in just

679
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:15.880
to add to the collective. Maybe they're running out of

680
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:19.920
manpower or something. I don't know, but I liked it.

681
00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:23.280
It was actually pretty good. It's it really reminded me.

682
00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:26.360
And I don't know if anybody else knows about the

683
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:30.320
particular cartoon, but anyone ever heard of the cartoon called

684
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:31.079
Johnny Quest?

685
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:36.599
Of course, you're like, practically you're practically reading my birth

686
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:41.880
certificate here I mean, yeah, that's I'm steep steep.

687
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:45.079
Ye.

688
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:48.199
Yeah, that really reminded me a lot of them, and

689
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:51.840
uh yeah, I liked it. I I grew up watching

690
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:53.639
that kind of stuff and I'm sure you guys have

691
00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:56.360
to and uh, anybody else around the world ever heard

692
00:40:56.360 --> 00:40:58.880
of it? Maybe you just put in a little uh

693
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:03.199
chat thing in through the Facebook show. Yeah, I really

694
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:05.239
enjoyed it. I hope that they come up with more.

695
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:07.719
And I kind of want to see them do a

696
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:13.679
Discovery cartoon version too, how that does or even a

697
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:16.760
strange world even though yeah, they kind of did it

698
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:19.400
with lower decks I understand, but I mean this animation

699
00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:21.679
is so much different from lower deck. Maybe a lower

700
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:25.199
deck version of this I don't know, but I think

701
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:28.599
it would be kind of interesting. But yeah, I enjoyed it.

702
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:32.360
Well, Paul, you get to pull up the caboose on

703
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:34.039
this conversation this time, buddy.

704
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:36.239
It should come as no surprise. I love this thing.

705
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:37.880
I thought it was great. I mean, it's been around

706
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.519
for a while, this particular one, right, But it's just

707
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:43.239
labor of love, right because it's like these are clearly

708
00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:46.920
folks who made this adore in the animated series, right

709
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:50.719
because it has such a set old filmation style of animation, right,

710
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:52.800
where a lot of times just they had to make

711
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.800
it quick and i'm really really quick, and so they

712
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:59.119
didn't have the time to animate as many frames or

713
00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:00.719
do as many shots. So a lot of times it's

714
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:02.880
like that whole pushing thing that they would do where

715
00:42:03.159 --> 00:42:06.960
people are running like this just because it's you know,

716
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:10.679
the fastest way to get it. You know, do as

717
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:13.480
few shots as possible to achieve and make it look

718
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:15.880
like things are moving. So they did a lot of

719
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:19.280
that kind of stuff. And just to hear the score,

720
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:22.760
you know, that original score, the original sound effects that

721
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:25.599
they used to have, great stuff. And if you know,

722
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:30.280
I feel bad for folks who have not really had

723
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:33.039
a chance to appreciate the animated series because it's really

724
00:42:33.079 --> 00:42:36.000
easy to be jaded with modern perspective and look at

725
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:38.280
it and it might seem clunky to you or whatever.

726
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:41.360
But you know, it's like saying, oh, an old Humpy

727
00:42:41.360 --> 00:42:43.519
Bogart movie, I can't believe it's in black and white?

728
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:45.159
What the hell? Right? I mean, it's just it's a

729
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:47.719
product of the time it was made, right, I Mean,

730
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:50.159
there was nothing like this back then, and it was

731
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:54.400
it was really amazing. When it came out, you know,

732
00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:56.480
seventy three, it was like, oh my god, it's like

733
00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:59.360
another season of Star Trek. All of the actors have

734
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:04.000
signed on, and yet they kind of gently pushed it forward, right,

735
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:06.280
so it wasn't just doing the same thing, right, they

736
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:09.800
were able to show a lot more elaborate aliens and

737
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.360
environments they could ever do. And you know, you know

738
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:17.039
TV show in the sixties back then, right, they came

739
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:21.119
up with cool enhancements like tilt the environmental belts that

740
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:22.719
they would wear so they didn't have to wear a

741
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:24.559
spacesuit on another planet. It was like this kind of

742
00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:27.119
energy field that they would you allow them to breathe,

743
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:30.599
and there's really clever, so great stuff. And this was

744
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:36.159
I think done with real fealty and affection. So for me, wonderful,

745
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:37.320
a delight.

746
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:41.159
If I'm not mistake. And I think the the original

747
00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:45.480
animated series was rotoscoped, right, so they took like footage

748
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:50.639
of the actual actors and then basically animated over the

749
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:51.000
top of that.

750
00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:53.880
So I don't think so, I don't I don't remember.

751
00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:54.000
I know.

752
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:56.639
The Lord of the Rings movies were the Ralph Bokshiet

753
00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:59.679
pictures those were rotoscoped, for sure were I don't think

754
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:02.239
these were, but I don't remember I really, to be honest,

755
00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:05.519
I made of your memory. No, I don't know.

756
00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:08.480
I was wondering if they used a similar style or

757
00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:11.480
similar technique here where they took where they literally just

758
00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:14.360
took the footage and then just you know, these days

759
00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:16.519
probably had a computer anime with a certain style over

760
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:19.280
the top of it, but just animated directly over the

761
00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:20.239
original footage.

762
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:22.360
Interesting. Yeah, it'd may be worth to looking into and

763
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:24.440
find out, but I just think it's so entertaining though.

764
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:26.400
It's so fun, you know, and it's brief, so it's

765
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:28.719
not like it doesn't wear. It's welcome out, which is nice.

766
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:31.679
Well, guys, I just wanted to give you, if you

767
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:36.480
hadn't seen tas Star Trek, the animated series in the seventies,

768
00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:37.920
I wanted to give you a little taste of what

769
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:41.000
it looked like before we give you a taste of

770
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:44.760
what it might look like if it was done today. So, David,

771
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:49.199
you want to run that Star Trek anime video comes

772
00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:49.840
some cuteness.

773
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:55.320
Here we go. Captain's log start date forty five point

774
00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:59.039
three point three Deep Space Station case even signals near

775
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:03.360
or total state the nature of your emergency. It's a triple.

776
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:09.599
This morning I found out that he had baby.

777
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:15.239
They do, indeed have one redeeming characteristic of fact, they

778
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:22.079
do not talk too much. This is my chicken, sandwich

779
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:22.760
and coffee.

780
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:24.400
I want these things off the ship. I don't care

781
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:25.440
if it takes every man away gone.

782
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:26.239
I want them off the ship.

783
00:45:41.239 --> 00:45:43.400
I take up guy. All we have to do is

784
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.599
stop feeding. Once we stop feeding them, they stop breeding.

785
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:57.079
All right, Well, what did you think, Paul? You got

786
00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:59.000
you had the caboose last time, so you can get

787
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:00.840
you can have the engine time. What did you think?

788
00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:06.360
It's pretty entertaining? I mean, brevity is is great. Right,

789
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:09.639
I'm glad that it's just basically the old trailer for

790
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:12.519
that episode, right, the old coming contraction three. So and

791
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:15.159
it's great. You you it's it's either it's like you

792
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.440
feature flavor of ice cream or not.

793
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:18.000
Right.

794
00:46:19.119 --> 00:46:21.960
Uh, This of course brings you back to like the

795
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:24.760
old days of like speed Racer, right, you know that

796
00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:28.239
was the nascent era of like the kind of anime.

797
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:30.119
Now it's like a whole you can't even keep track,

798
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:33.039
you know how many animes have come out since then,

799
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:39.280
it's an entire cultural you know, Watershed, I mean, Somebody, Vampire, hundred,

800
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:43.199
d Akira, you know, so many different you know, huge

801
00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:46.159
touchstones and anime have built on those early styles and

802
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:48.800
and this, uh and you can find a lot of

803
00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:52.639
different UH manga books that have done the same thing.

804
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:55.760
There's some I've got a few mangos that are done

805
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:58.719
in the comic book style but in the same Japanese

806
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:02.519
format that they have there, but tend to be characters

807
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:06.880
tend to look much younger than then, you know they

808
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:09.800
would in their realistic counterparts, right, that whole you know,

809
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:13.159
kind of wide eyed, kind of I love the way

810
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:15.440
that when somebody will just be like barely moving and

811
00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:20.599
the background is flying furiously, you know, vertically behind them

812
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:22.679
to give a sense of motion and stuff like that.

813
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:26.719
It's just funny. But but yeah, it's it's all distracting

814
00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:28.960
how young these characters are, right, I mean, the way

815
00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:30.920
that they've picted here, I mean, it's the whole thing, right,

816
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:35.840
I mean, like McCoy looks like he's twenty two, doesn't

817
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:39.280
exactly look like the grizzled old physician we're used to, right,

818
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:42.199
He's he looks much younger here, and it doesn't really

819
00:47:42.280 --> 00:47:45.719
quite sync up with his voice, but it's fun to

820
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:48.800
see Sarah O Jones. No, were there any Klingons depicted

821
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:50.960
in here that I really quickly were there? Did I

822
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:52.519
just not see them? I think I just did not

823
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:56.719
see it, that's right, that's right. Yeah, I was pretending

824
00:47:56.760 --> 00:48:01.679
that was Elon Musk. That's sorry at a moment, but yeah,

825
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:03.960
it was. It was fun. I liked them. I think

826
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:05.760
I'm you know, I think just because it's what I

827
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:07.960
grew up with and I like it. I'm I lean

828
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:12.599
more towards the filmation style of like the animated series

829
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:14.639
from the first one we looked at. But this is

830
00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:17.599
still very very well done and clearly made with great

831
00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:20.920
affection from the people who did it. So you got to,

832
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:25.360
you know, admire the work of both these groups who

833
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:26.840
put this together. So well done.

834
00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:43.519
Friends, and we lost your audio there, but nope, still silent. Yeah, difficulties.

835
00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:46.239
How about you, Charles, what do you think about this?

836
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:49.639
M hm?

837
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:59.480
And I got almost the impression of Pokemon in here. Definitely, Kirk,

838
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:04.719
It's like, okay, we're edging a little closer to Pike

839
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:12.400
care Definitely. I don't think the hair was quite that

840
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:21.719
much in the in the animated series, but interesting version,

841
00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:29.679
but looks more Japanese anime than it does what we

842
00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:34.559
used to with the with the animated series, So I

843
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:39.679
think it gave an unusual personality to some of the characters.

844
00:49:41.079 --> 00:49:44.800
Which might not.

845
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:51.519
Quite fit what they represent at the time. So interesting,

846
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:56.599
but I kind of like the TOS version a little better,

847
00:49:57.840 --> 00:49:59.079
tas version.

848
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:08.440
Having technical difficulties. So what do you what do you think, David?

849
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:19.119
It was interesting? Uh, definitely the original style anime. I

850
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:21.000
do have to go with Paul. Yeah, I do look

851
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:24.199
really young, and I wonder the reason probably why they're

852
00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:28.639
lip didn't shrink up, mainly because it was speaking in

853
00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:32.800
a different language like Japanese probably, so that might have

854
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:36.840
been the sense of why their lips were moving like that.

855
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:41.880
Well they just were you know, probably old style cartoons

856
00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:44.440
or something. But I guess we'll never know until we

857
00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:47.159
look it up for talk to the guy who made it.

858
00:50:47.679 --> 00:50:52.000
But yeah, I actually kind of liked it. I mean,

859
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:56.679
of course, you know, made troubles, so uh it was fun.

860
00:50:56.880 --> 00:51:01.440
I actually liked how they kept the everything like that

861
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:04.239
white people are like when Coke got trampled by all

862
00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:06.840
those troubles, the very last trouble came down, you know

863
00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:10.199
and hit his head and everything. So it was enjoyable.

864
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:14.719
I wouldn't mind seeing more, but I don't know if

865
00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:17.239
they will be making anymore, did anybody know?

866
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:19.880
Not sure?

867
00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:23.840
Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, they're pretty cool.

868
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:29.159
Well I'll say that. So one of my favorite things

869
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:33.639
about anime in general and in particular anime, like there's

870
00:51:33.679 --> 00:51:35.840
that great stuff from the early years, like Akira and

871
00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:37.480
that sort of stuff. The stuff that's come out in

872
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:40.320
the last you know, thirty years or so has gotten

873
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:44.320
progressively more and more kind of big in the expressions

874
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:47.079
and the ways that people kind of react to things,

875
00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:49.599
and so this kind of came through with that, right.

876
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:52.639
People had like really big eyes and really big expressions

877
00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:57.119
to things that a normal person wouldn't necessarily have in

878
00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:00.559
real life. But the audio was a little distract Having

879
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:04.159
used the old audio with that kind of extremely expressive

880
00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:06.480
animation style, it felt like there was a little bit

881
00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:09.960
of a disconnect to me there. So it would have

882
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:12.920
been fun to have somebody re I mean, obviously the

883
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:15.599
voices would have been different, but to actually have them

884
00:52:16.519 --> 00:52:19.639
re record the same lines but with more expression and

885
00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:22.159
you know, that sort of stuff. It might have actually

886
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:25.639
fit with the video that we saw just a little

887
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:29.159
bit more. So that was my that was my initial

888
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:33.679
impression of it. But the animation style was was really fun.

889
00:52:33.719 --> 00:52:37.679
I mean, it's fun to see, you know anime's box.

890
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:41.880
I don't know, I kind of like it. So, yeah,

891
00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:44.440
I'd like to see more David. In terms of the

892
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.559
sinking of things, I would I would have thought, and

893
00:52:47.719 --> 00:52:49.719
obviously I don't know, I'm just speculating, but I would

894
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:53.079
have thought that they would have animated this for the

895
00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:56.159
English since that's the audio track that they were using.

896
00:52:56.280 --> 00:52:58.519
So I almost wondered if the fact that it was

897
00:52:58.639 --> 00:53:02.519
off just a little bit was an homage to dubbed

898
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:06.559
anime wherein they their mouths never sync up with what's

899
00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:11.880
what's going on? I don't know, maybe not interesting, but

900
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:15.840
uh yeah, that's the way I kind of read it.

901
00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:21.920
Yeah, and animation by Mitch Mellow and it said special

902
00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:24.599
things to my little sister to help and advice. So

903
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:27.079
was it just done by these two or what did

904
00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:28.239
a group of people? I don't know.

905
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:30.800
Yeah, I don't know.

906
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:32.440
We should dig into it a little bit more.

907
00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:34.719
Cool.

908
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:41.440
Well, I think Jim lost his sound somehow and video, so.

909
00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:45.920
What to do well, do we have do we have

910
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:47.280
any more of these to watch right now?

911
00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:47.639
David?

912
00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:48.880
I know you guys plan this out.

913
00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:51.920
Yeah, they're doing to those two videos, and then I think,

914
00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:54.239
I guess we were just gonna go onto birthday tours

915
00:53:55.400 --> 00:53:56.000
all right.

916
00:53:56.039 --> 00:53:59.360
But well, I'm not sure that we can vamp for

917
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:00.639
too long on this topic.

918
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:04.880
So uh and without real quick, real quick, Eric, Yeah,

919
00:54:05.239 --> 00:54:08.159
pop quiz. Best episode of the animated series?

920
00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:16.000
Uh, well, there are a few that are pretty darn

921
00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:20.159
good out there. I like, I like anything written by

922
00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:22.400
what's her name that I'm not thinking of her name

923
00:54:22.519 --> 00:54:29.920
right now? D d se Fontana. Yeah, the what's the er? Uh,

924
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:31.920
that's the one that I'm thinking of, and I'm.

925
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:34.000
Working thinking about Yesteryear.

926
00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:36.280
Yesteryear. That's my favorite episode.

927
00:54:36.719 --> 00:54:39.559
Me too, Me too. I think that I would argue

928
00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:41.400
in front of anybody that that is not just one

929
00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:44.199
of the best episodes of the animated series. Yeah, I

930
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:45.760
would say it's one of the best episodes of Star

931
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:50.519
Trek period. And it's just the Giant No. No, it's

932
00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:54.880
the one where where spot I guess spoilers, okay, right,

933
00:54:54.960 --> 00:54:57.320
but it's like he basically has to go back in

934
00:54:57.519 --> 00:55:02.119
time on Vulcan, and he counters himself as a young boy, right.

935
00:55:02.239 --> 00:55:04.679
He has to sort of pretend to be like, you know,

936
00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:07.199
you can't just say hi, I'm you as an older

937
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:09.239
version of you, right because it just grew up the

938
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:10.840
time and stuff. Right, he has to pretend to be

939
00:55:10.960 --> 00:55:14.079
like a traveler, I have a traveler for a different region, right.

940
00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:18.559
And I just thought it was it's so beautifully written,

941
00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:22.320
and it's just, you know, what is it? What are

942
00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:25.400
these shows? Right? Twenty two minutes long? Maybe you know

943
00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:27.400
because they just threw commercials in like there was no

944
00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:30.599
tomorrow because it's Saturday morning cartoons, right, they want to

945
00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:34.440
sell cereal, right, and so they're short, they're just a little,

946
00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:36.719
tiny short things. But there was so much care put

947
00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:39.039
into that one and so so well written. It's like

948
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:40.639
you can see that you can really write a great

949
00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:43.599
story in just like twenty minutes. So if you've never

950
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:48.559
seen that, friends in the audience, amazing so good.

951
00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:51.519
Yeah, I mean, you get you get the Guardiana Forever,

952
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:55.719
you get the the winged people what are they called again?

953
00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:02.360
That are really the winged bird beak scientist guy whose

954
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:03.800
race I can't think of right now?

955
00:56:03.840 --> 00:56:06.480
That we actually yeah, we just saw on Prodigy. Right

956
00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:09.440
in Prodigy, Yeah, yeah, I'm spacing out on them too.

957
00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:13.199
Right on that you get you get An and Dorian,

958
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:16.840
and if I remember sort of a gray skinned and Dorian,

959
00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:22.480
you get the scene where the original scene which they

960
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:25.480
then played with later in both The Star Trek two

961
00:56:25.480 --> 00:56:30.039
thousand and nine and I believe was it Discover Your

962
00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:32.119
Strange New Worlds where they kind of go back to

963
00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:37.000
Spock's childhood years when he's you know, coming up with

964
00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:38.920
all of the other students and kind of how much

965
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:44.360
they pick on him because he's half human. There's just

966
00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:47.559
like there's like a million things packed it, like Paul said,

967
00:56:47.639 --> 00:56:51.679
packed into that twenty two minutes that I completely agree

968
00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:53.199
and make it one of the best episodes of Star

969
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:55.119
Trek ever. And I can't believe I blanked on the

970
00:56:55.159 --> 00:56:58.079
name of it, but yeah, it's it's fantastic. If you

971
00:56:58.119 --> 00:56:59.960
haven't seen Yesteryear, you need to go check it out.

972
00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:03.840
Well, it sounds like Uncle Jim has gotten pulled into

973
00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:07.760
a a an air lock or a portal or something,

974
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:13.079
so we may be having to proceed and and pick

975
00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:15.320
him back on our next trip to the Solar System.

976
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:18.960
So sorry Uncle Jim, but what do you think, fellas,

977
00:57:18.960 --> 00:57:20.280
should we go to birthdays? You want to do that

978
00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:35.800
next job? Oh? There we are, Oh not that. And

979
00:57:35.960 --> 00:57:37.719
of course this is the part of the show where

980
00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:42.800
we always begin our stepping all over the audio what's

981
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:44.920
wrong with me? This is the part of the show

982
00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:47.480
where we always pay homage to those members of our

983
00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:50.440
Star Trek family who have gone on before us. And

984
00:57:50.599 --> 00:57:53.400
for that we turned to Eric Paul.

985
00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:55.599
You're an excellent Jim. Thank you so much. Yeah, our

986
00:57:55.679 --> 00:58:00.559
first remembrance this week goes back to actor Richard Compton.

987
00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:06.119
Richard Compton Compton was a director, writer, and producer who

988
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:08.559
began his career as an actor, during which he appeared

989
00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:12.519
in two episodes of Star Trek the original series, The

990
00:58:12.599 --> 00:58:17.199
Doomsday Machine and The Enterprise Incident. And Sadly we lost

991
00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:19.920
Richard Compton back in two thousand and seven at the

992
00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:25.000
age of sixty nine years old. Happy Birthday, March second.

993
00:58:26.199 --> 00:58:29.320
This past March second, nineteen thirty eight, Happy birthday to

994
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:33.960
Richard Compton. Happy birthday as well to actor Eddie Heis.

995
00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:37.280
He was the stuntman and actor who worked on the

996
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:41.559
original series third season episodes Day of the Dove and

997
00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:44.480
Wink of An Eye, where he appeared as a security guard.

998
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:48.000
He also appeared in Star Trek four The Voyage Home,

999
00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:52.760
where he played a Mercy Hospital patient Eddie. Heis lived

1000
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:55.199
to be the ripe old age of eighty five years old.

1001
00:58:55.320 --> 00:58:59.440
We lost him back in twenty fifteen. Happy birthday to Eddie.

1002
00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:04.039
Happy birthday as well to Anne Haney. She's the actress

1003
00:59:04.039 --> 00:59:08.320
who played Rishawn Ucksbridge in the Next Generation third season

1004
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:13.400
episode The Survivors. She also played els Renora in the

1005
00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:17.760
DS nine first season episode Dax Lost back in two

1006
00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:20.719
thousand and one at sixty seven years old. Happy birthday

1007
00:59:20.840 --> 00:59:26.800
to Anne Hainey. Happy birthday to James B. Sicking. He

1008
00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:30.480
is the actor who played Lawrence H. Stiles with a

1009
00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:34.400
nice mustache in Star Trek three, The Search for Spock.

1010
00:59:35.039 --> 00:59:38.079
We lost him just last July and he was ninety

1011
00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:42.719
years old, so hopefully he lived a long and prosperous life.

1012
00:59:42.920 --> 00:59:48.239
James Sicking, Happy birthday this past March fifth, just yesterday.

1013
00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:52.760
Happy birthday as well to a heavy hitter in many

1014
00:59:52.880 --> 00:59:58.199
respects but relatively brief appearances here in Star Trek. Mister

1015
00:59:58.320 --> 01:00:02.039
Dean Stockwell was the award winning actor who portrayed Gret

1016
01:00:02.559 --> 01:00:08.000
in the Star Trek Enterprise first season episode Detained. Yeah,

1017
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:10.199
he was in Star Trek two. Of course, most people

1018
01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:14.960
remember him from Quantum Leap, and then later on just

1019
01:00:15.559 --> 01:00:19.840
what ten years ago or so, he played spoiler Alert,

1020
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:25.079
one of the Cylons in the new Battlestar Galactica. Fantastic actor.

1021
01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:28.440
I think he's a face that just about everybody recognizes

1022
01:00:28.519 --> 01:00:30.599
at this point, and I remember when he showed up

1023
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:32.840
in Star Trek Enterprise.

1024
01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:34.800
I was like, Oh, I know who that is.

1025
01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:38.639
So a real treat to have him as part of

1026
01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:41.199
the Star Trek universe. We lost him just back in

1027
01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:44.679
twenty twenty one at eighty five years old. Happy Birthday

1028
01:00:45.159 --> 01:00:49.519
to Dean Stockwell. Happy birthday as well to John Hancock.

1029
01:00:50.039 --> 01:00:53.239
He's the actor who played Vice Admiral Hayden in the

1030
01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:57.559
Next Generation third and fourth season episodes The Defector and

1031
01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:01.320
the Wounded. Happy Birthday too on Hancock loss back in

1032
01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:06.719
nineteen ninety two. Happy Birthday as well to Joy Garrett.

1033
01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:10.719
She was the actress and vocalist who played Annie in

1034
01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:15.679
the TNG six season episode A Fistful of Datas, and

1035
01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:18.480
unfortunately we would lose her just a couple of years

1036
01:01:18.559 --> 01:01:21.920
later at the young young age of forty seven years old.

1037
01:01:22.519 --> 01:01:27.400
Happy birthday to Joy Garrett and our big, big, big Birthday.

1038
01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:32.079
This week, March third, nineteen twenty, the world was graced

1039
01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:36.519
with the presence of James Doohan. He's the Canadian actor,

1040
01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:39.679
of course, best known for his betrayal as Montgomery Scottie

1041
01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:43.119
Scott on the original series and in the first seven

1042
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:46.719
Star Trek movies. He also appeared in the Next Generation

1043
01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:52.119
episode Relics, and has made liberal appearances recently in some

1044
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:55.679
of the IDW Star Trek comics, which has been kind

1045
01:01:55.719 --> 01:01:59.719
of fun to see his visage revisited. At this point,

1046
01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:02.719
I think anybody who loves Star Trek would tell you

1047
01:02:02.880 --> 01:02:06.639
that the Enterprise wouldn't even be there without Scotty, Right.

1048
01:02:06.679 --> 01:02:09.480
How many times has he saved the day? How many

1049
01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:13.320
times has he promised and then over delivered on a promise?

1050
01:02:13.800 --> 01:02:17.800
How many times has he saved all of humanity with

1051
01:02:18.000 --> 01:02:21.280
the things that he's done. I just think he's a

1052
01:02:21.360 --> 01:02:25.159
super special actor. I didn't know until years later that

1053
01:02:25.239 --> 01:02:27.800
he was. He was missing a finger, right, because he

1054
01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:31.360
got it shot off in the war, and they tried

1055
01:02:31.360 --> 01:02:34.480
to hide that most of the time on the screen

1056
01:02:34.719 --> 01:02:36.880
so as to not make a big deal out of it.

1057
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:41.440
But this guy was a real a real war hero,

1058
01:02:41.800 --> 01:02:44.840
a real military man, and it was a pleasure to

1059
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:49.519
have him as our chief engineer on the original series Enterprise.

1060
01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:52.159
Would anybody else like to say anything about Scotty while

1061
01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:53.559
we're here, I just feel like this is one of

1062
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:55.920
those people that a lot of people have a super

1063
01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:56.559
connection to.

1064
01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:04.000
Well, I can just say that I didn't know about

1065
01:03:04.039 --> 01:03:06.079
his finger either. And if you guys look at the

1066
01:03:06.360 --> 01:03:08.960
top left green, you can actually shoot the machine on

1067
01:03:09.039 --> 01:03:13.559
his right hand when he's holding up their star plaque.

1068
01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:17.320
So yeah, I was actually shocked myself to hear about that.

1069
01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:20.360
But other than that, yeah, he's I guess, you know,

1070
01:03:21.079 --> 01:03:24.239
one of my favorite characters now because I'm kind of

1071
01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:30.000
acting like him on the podcast. But other than that, yeah,

1072
01:03:30.920 --> 01:03:31.960
not much elf to say from me.

1073
01:03:33.880 --> 01:03:36.159
And I just think he's really, uh, you know, I

1074
01:03:36.199 --> 01:03:42.199
think perhaps underappreciated member of the of the original series ensemble,

1075
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:45.719
just because it's like he's a supporting character, right, he's nowhere,

1076
01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:48.159
not like, you know, one of the big three. But

1077
01:03:48.639 --> 01:03:51.880
when he steps up to the plate, right and and

1078
01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:54.719
he's got you know, whatever it may be, it's like, Okay,

1079
01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:57.039
there's a problem and Scotty's in command because everyone else

1080
01:03:57.119 --> 01:04:00.639
is trapped on the planet. Right. He's just always just

1081
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:04.320
magnetic to watch. He's just fascinating, right, he just brings

1082
01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:09.559
all that energy. He's relatable. Right. There's episodes where he

1083
01:04:09.599 --> 01:04:13.079
gets too drunk, right, and he just gets like he's

1084
01:04:13.199 --> 01:04:18.039
just he's just unfiltered. He's just who he is. He's

1085
01:04:18.119 --> 01:04:21.800
fiercely loyal. He'll start a bar fight because somebody insults

1086
01:04:21.880 --> 01:04:25.119
the his ship. He's just very believable as a as

1087
01:04:25.159 --> 01:04:27.840
a as a person, right, and just just great. I'm

1088
01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:30.599
looking at this slide that David threw up here, and

1089
01:04:31.159 --> 01:04:33.960
all this time I had no idea that he did

1090
01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:36.760
the voice work for the M five computer and Ultimate Computer.

1091
01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:40.000
I had no idea. I mean, I knew he'd done

1092
01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:43.599
some you know, additional voices and stuff like for mister Rix,

1093
01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:46.400
but I had no clue that M five that was him.

1094
01:04:46.480 --> 01:04:49.400
That's great to still be able to learn things about

1095
01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:51.920
the little hidden corners of Starter all these days. But

1096
01:04:51.960 --> 01:04:54.199
what a what a great guy, you know, just super

1097
01:04:54.320 --> 01:05:00.280
charismatic and uh and relatable, just a fast, fantastic character.

1098
01:05:01.239 --> 01:05:03.920
And since Jim can't really comment on Scotty, I'll comment

1099
01:05:04.079 --> 01:05:07.880
for him. From Jim's Favorite movie comes probably one of

1100
01:05:07.920 --> 01:05:11.159
the best Scotti lines ever in my opinion, where he

1101
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:14.199
says I know this ship like the back of my

1102
01:05:14.360 --> 01:05:16.800
hand and then proceeds to bonk his head and knock

1103
01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:21.360
himself out on a bold head. That made me laugh.

1104
01:05:21.719 --> 01:05:25.840
So so that is if our remembrances. Happy birthday to

1105
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:28.480
mister James Doohan, lost all the way back in two

1106
01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:32.039
thousand and five at eighty five years old. Happy birthday

1107
01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:33.840
to him. I guess he would have been one hundred

1108
01:05:33.880 --> 01:05:37.079
and five this week if he was still around. So

1109
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:40.599
that does it for our remembrances. So Charles, I'm gonna

1110
01:05:40.599 --> 01:05:42.519
pass this flaming birthday candle over to you, sir.

1111
01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:44.519
Oh, thank you. Eric.

1112
01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:49.760
Let's start off on a Happy birthday to Michelle Horn,

Happy birthday to Heidi Swingberg, actress from Honolulu, Hawaii, who

been married to the Q actor John de La John.

1123
01:06:55.599 --> 01:07:02.320
We get cut off, but John from Q. Happy birthday

1124
01:07:02.639 --> 01:07:08.159
to Jolene Bladlock, best nine for a role as they've

1125
01:07:08.199 --> 01:07:12.400
all been silent. Act officer to Paul in Star Trek

1126
01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:17.880
Enterprises and Lower Decks. She also played to Paul's second

1127
01:07:18.079 --> 01:07:22.679
fore mother, great grandmother tam Or in the enterprise episode

1128
01:07:22.760 --> 01:07:27.119
Carbon Creek episode. We've done a lot of discussion over,

1129
01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:32.760
so let me pass this flaming, flaming candle over to Paul.

1130
01:07:34.559 --> 01:07:38.599
All right, excellent, thank you, Charles, appreciate it. Okay, Well,

1131
01:07:38.679 --> 01:07:42.400
first of all, Happy birthday to the wonderful Stephanie Beacham

1132
01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:47.199
all right, British actress who played Regina Bartholomew in Next

1133
01:07:47.280 --> 01:07:53.679
Generation six season episode Ship in a Bottle. Phenomenal, phenomenal work,

1134
01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:56.960
of course, that's one of the great I just love

1135
01:07:57.679 --> 01:08:02.039
the Sherlock Holmes Moriarty stories, all right, and god, and

1136
01:08:02.159 --> 01:08:04.920
this one in particular, it's just it's probably more relevant

1137
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:08.119
now because this episode really dialed in and started talking

1138
01:08:08.119 --> 01:08:13.159
about like machine consciousness, right, and artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness,

1139
01:08:13.199 --> 01:08:14.760
so I would you know, I think it's probably more

1140
01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:19.840
more relevant now than ever. But she was just delightful

1141
01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:22.479
in this and really matches up great with Moriarty. It's

1142
01:08:22.520 --> 01:08:26.039
just like it's like Moriarty's I'm watching Moriarty start dating.

1143
01:08:26.119 --> 01:08:28.520
It's a weird concept, right, but it just really works,

1144
01:08:28.760 --> 01:08:32.119
and she was just very charming and delightful. And of

1145
01:08:32.159 --> 01:08:34.600
course sci fi addicts like all of us are going

1146
01:08:34.680 --> 01:08:39.359
to remember Stephanie Beacham from her turn is Doctor Christen

1147
01:08:39.439 --> 01:08:45.439
Westphalen in the first season of sequest DSV that undersee

1148
01:08:45.479 --> 01:08:47.760
it never You never see it around any much anymore.

1149
01:08:47.800 --> 01:08:49.840
But we don't live in a syndicated TV universe anymore.

1150
01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:51.319
But I haven't seen the episode of that in forever,

1151
01:08:51.479 --> 01:08:54.279
but a lot of fun. I mean, it's crazy when

1152
01:08:54.319 --> 01:08:56.399
you think that Roy Scheider did a Voyaged the Bottom

1153
01:08:56.439 --> 01:08:58.600
of the Sea type episode with a crazy amount of

1154
01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:01.800
science fiction and it just nuts but fun to look out.

1155
01:09:01.880 --> 01:09:04.960
But again, part of the great oove of Stephanie Beacham.

1156
01:09:05.039 --> 01:09:08.960
So happy birthday to you. And delightful to acknowledge you.

1157
01:09:09.399 --> 01:09:13.720
Happy birthday also to Harvey Jason. Born in London, England.

1158
01:09:13.960 --> 01:09:16.479
He's the son of Alec Jason and he is married

1159
01:09:16.479 --> 01:09:20.000
to actress Pamela Franklin. Harvey played the role of Felix

1160
01:09:20.319 --> 01:09:24.560
Leech in the TNG first season episode The Big good Bye,

1161
01:09:24.640 --> 01:09:28.520
another Holo Deck episode there, and if you peek down

1162
01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:32.079
at that last frame on the right there of that slide,

1163
01:09:32.119 --> 01:09:34.920
you'll see that He was also had a memorable turn

1164
01:09:35.159 --> 01:09:39.640
as an ill fated explorer on the second Jurassic Park movie,

1165
01:09:39.680 --> 01:09:43.760
The Lost World. So fantastic. He's like the if I

1166
01:09:43.840 --> 01:09:45.960
remember correctly, in The Big Good Guy Bye, he's like

1167
01:09:46.039 --> 01:09:49.239
the Peter Lorie character, right, He's kind of, you know, like, oh,

1168
01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:51.439
don't do it, Yeah, don't do it. You know, whatever

1169
01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:53.600
you're going to do, just you know, just you know,

1170
01:09:53.800 --> 01:09:56.359
the kind of Weasley guy who's maybe a little trigger

1171
01:09:56.359 --> 01:09:58.720
happy underneath it all. So cool performance.

1172
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:01.760
I forgot he was on bed Man. That's that's really cool.

1173
01:10:02.600 --> 01:10:06.000
Oh god, he was, wasn't he? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I

1174
01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:10.000
don't know which character that is just one off, but yeah, yeah,

1175
01:10:10.239 --> 01:10:13.000
But but those those shows are really fun to look at.

1176
01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:13.239
Now.

1177
01:10:13.319 --> 01:10:16.960
My God, everybody was on Batman. I mean, it's crazy

1178
01:10:17.640 --> 01:10:18.880
everybody was on Batman.

1179
01:10:20.760 --> 01:10:24.000
Oh yeah, it does look like Colonel Mustard. And just

1180
01:10:24.039 --> 01:10:26.760
in case you're interested, you can watch sequest DSV. I

1181
01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:28.159
just looked it up. You can look at you can

1182
01:10:28.199 --> 01:10:31.000
watch it either on Peacock or Apple TV or of

1183
01:10:31.079 --> 01:10:33.560
course it's purchasable from Amazon. But if you've got TV,

1184
01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:34.680
that might be your best option.

1185
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:36.560
Cool. It would be really fun to go look at

1186
01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:39.720
the pilot again, right, because it's just like I remember,

1187
01:10:39.760 --> 01:10:42.079
I was working nights a lot when that show came out,

1188
01:10:42.199 --> 01:10:46.560
and I missed a lot of it during its initial rotation, right,

1189
01:10:47.079 --> 01:10:49.239
So be fun to go look at that. Just a

1190
01:10:49.279 --> 01:10:53.640
big Roy Scheider fan in general, So any excuse? Moving on,

1191
01:10:53.920 --> 01:10:58.880
Happy birthday to Joeanna Miles, actress who played wonderfully the

1192
01:10:59.000 --> 01:11:04.640
character of parent Sara's second wife if you Will in

1193
01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:08.239
Next Gen's third season episode Sarak and also the fifth

1194
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:13.399
season kickoff for the Unification two parter Unification one, which

1195
01:11:13.479 --> 01:11:16.039
is great, and it was you know, I guess Sarah

1196
01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:18.399
just had a thing for human women. I guess he's

1197
01:11:18.399 --> 01:11:22.119
got he's got kind of a kind of a what

1198
01:11:22.159 --> 01:11:24.359
would you call it, a kick. You know a thing.

1199
01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:26.800
I don't know what you call it type, but you

1200
01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:27.960
can call it a kink.

1201
01:11:28.920 --> 01:11:29.319
I don't know.

1202
01:11:29.760 --> 01:11:31.880
It's just like you know, and we all have things

1203
01:11:31.880 --> 01:11:32.319
that we like.

1204
01:11:32.439 --> 01:11:33.039
Right, But.

1205
01:11:34.720 --> 01:11:37.279
But yeah, that was definitely uh, you know, to be

1206
01:11:37.359 --> 01:11:41.760
careful at uh, you know, diplomatic gatherings when uh Sarac

1207
01:11:41.920 --> 01:11:44.720
is you know in his widow or face, he's going

1208
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:47.119
to be going up to you know, every human female around.

1209
01:11:47.159 --> 01:11:50.800
How so what do you do? How in control of

1210
01:11:50.840 --> 01:11:51.439
your emotions?

1211
01:11:51.439 --> 01:11:51.680
Are you.

1212
01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:56.960
Just wondering what those interim periods were? Like, I think,

1213
01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:00.560
you know, we need we need a one on. I'd

1214
01:12:00.640 --> 01:12:03.439
rather see a movie like that than Section thirty one. Frankly,

1215
01:12:03.439 --> 01:12:05.800
I would have watched that to death, like Sarak dating

1216
01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:14.520
in between between music, in the background, between unions, the

1217
01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:18.479
untold story of Sarek. I would watch that death. Okay,

1218
01:12:18.800 --> 01:12:20.920
well one of miles. Sorry, we're having fun at your expense.

1219
01:12:20.960 --> 01:12:23.239
But it's a great And what is the deal with

1220
01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:26.920
the making the women on Vulcan wear these gigantic necklaces?

1221
01:12:26.960 --> 01:12:29.039
That is just enormous. I mean it looks like you're like,

1222
01:12:29.159 --> 01:12:31.960
you know, a fish tank there. But what a great

1223
01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:35.319
performance she was delightful in that and whoa is that

1224
01:12:35.479 --> 01:12:39.119
the that's the emosa seeing here. I love seeing the

1225
01:12:39.479 --> 01:12:43.119
slides here. If you're not on, get on the Patreon

1226
01:12:43.239 --> 01:12:45.199
thing if you want to see the things we're all

1227
01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:47.840
interacting to. We have a recurring slideshow that goes on

1228
01:12:47.960 --> 01:12:50.000
during the podcast. A lot of people don't realize, but

1229
01:12:50.159 --> 01:12:52.079
that's that's what you get to see, is all of

1230
01:12:52.159 --> 01:12:55.359
our ugly mugs and canned video as well, if you

1231
01:12:56.119 --> 01:12:57.960
chip in the extra buck or two a month or

1232
01:12:58.000 --> 01:13:00.199
whatever it is. But it's fun to do. But I

1233
01:13:00.279 --> 01:13:02.880
had no idea she was that one judge in the

1234
01:13:03.119 --> 01:13:06.039
Judge Dread movie, just alone, the first Judge Dread movie.

1235
01:13:06.079 --> 01:13:10.119
It's the Loon. It's a lot of fun. So wow, amazing.

1236
01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:13.359
I know that she was roound with Catherine Heppern there.

1237
01:13:14.119 --> 01:13:17.239
Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking that she probably had a big

1238
01:13:17.279 --> 01:13:19.279
stage career because she seems like somebody who's just got

1239
01:13:19.319 --> 01:13:23.319
the control of somebody's from stage background. So happy birthday,

1240
01:13:23.399 --> 01:13:27.760
Joanna Miles. Great to be able to acknowledge you and

1241
01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:30.760
honor you, so thank you. We got a couple of

1242
01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:33.000
big ones coming up. First of all, Happy birthday to

1243
01:13:33.079 --> 01:13:37.680
the lovely Barbara Luna. And if you're a Mirror Mirror

1244
01:13:37.800 --> 01:13:41.359
fan and watched any of the shows from the sixties

1245
01:13:41.399 --> 01:13:43.439
and seventies, you would have seen Barbara Luna. She got

1246
01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:48.720
cast in practically everything old sixties sci fi staples like

1247
01:13:48.840 --> 01:13:53.840
The Invaders, The Wild wild West, Mission Impossible, The Outer Limits.

1248
01:13:54.760 --> 01:13:57.199
After Star Trek, she was in Buck Rogers in the

1249
01:13:57.319 --> 01:14:00.800
twenty fifth century. I mean, you know, John a Queen,

1250
01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:04.479
I would say, right, and still out there wreaking havoc

1251
01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:07.359
from what I've seen on social media, still very much

1252
01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:11.439
out there in the Hollywood scene there. But we're acknowledging

1253
01:14:11.479 --> 01:14:15.800
her for the really two part characters she played in

1254
01:14:15.960 --> 01:14:20.079
the Mere Mirror episode, right, she played quote unquote Captain's

1255
01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:24.239
Woman Marlena Moreau right for Evil Kirk, and then her

1256
01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:29.520
Prime Universe counterpart as just a you know, polite, nice

1257
01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:33.199
girl yeoman on the U, you know, on the Captain's

1258
01:14:33.199 --> 01:14:36.560
bridge there. But really cool performance and h and really

1259
01:14:37.319 --> 01:14:40.079
what a treat for her to get to be able

1260
01:14:40.159 --> 01:14:42.119
to be in all of those shows. I mean, man,

1261
01:14:42.359 --> 01:14:45.039
I mean that's a that's a There's some great stuff

1262
01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:48.039
happening on TV back in those days, and she was

1263
01:14:48.119 --> 01:14:51.800
part of so much of it. So really exciting. All right,

1264
01:14:52.119 --> 01:14:53.560
hold a minute, got to find it.

1265
01:14:53.640 --> 01:14:54.039
Where is it?

1266
01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:57.439
I'm I'm looking around. I'm trying to find my my

1267
01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:01.479
special festive candle that I prepared specific fleet.

1268
01:15:01.640 --> 01:15:02.560
Is that your ghost candle?

1269
01:15:02.640 --> 01:15:06.039
This is my ghost candle, which I will be eliminating

1270
01:15:06.079 --> 01:15:09.479
momentarily because friends do it on the air. People, Well, yeah,

1271
01:15:09.560 --> 01:15:11.760
this is not a family program, not all the time.

1272
01:15:12.359 --> 01:15:15.880
I don't have the shoot the I for that kind

1273
01:15:15.880 --> 01:15:16.319
of animation.

1274
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:19.520
It's all right, man, I'll narrate. I'll narrate. I'll describe

1275
01:15:19.560 --> 01:15:22.640
what I'm feeling. David. It's okay, because we're here to

1276
01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:30.600
celebrate the awesome that is the spectacular. Gates McFadden legend

1277
01:15:30.760 --> 01:15:34.560
of the Star Trek universe, Okay, who portrayed Beverly Crusher

1278
01:15:34.680 --> 01:15:37.600
in almost all of the episodes of the Next Generation

1279
01:15:37.960 --> 01:15:41.800
and in four Next Generation films, and came back again

1280
01:15:42.039 --> 01:15:44.279
very very recently for the third season of her card.

1281
01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:47.399
I don't see how you can even think Star Trek

1282
01:15:47.479 --> 01:15:50.000
with the thing of Gates McFadden. She is his institution,

1283
01:15:50.399 --> 01:15:54.560
and I just think a phenomenal performer. She's been in

1284
01:15:54.680 --> 01:15:56.920
a ton of other things as well. She was in

1285
01:15:57.000 --> 01:16:00.800
the Muppets Take Manhattan, which she was just starting out

1286
01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:07.119
as a like a theatrical producer's you know, Harryed secretary

1287
01:16:07.279 --> 01:16:11.119
if you will, right, it's just hilarious. She was originally

1288
01:16:12.680 --> 01:16:16.479
the main character's wife, and the first when Alec Baldwin

1289
01:16:16.680 --> 01:16:21.199
was running the Jack Ryan franchise for Hunt for Red October,

1290
01:16:22.079 --> 01:16:24.680
before Harrison Ford stepped in. She was like missus Ryan,

1291
01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:26.880
you know, with the you know, with the kids and

1292
01:16:26.920 --> 01:16:29.399
all that stuff like that. But of course for us,

1293
01:16:29.520 --> 01:16:32.199
she's always gonna Beverly crusher, except you know that, you know,

1294
01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:34.880
season two. I mean, you could really dig into this

1295
01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:37.319
whole thing, because it sounds like they did not treat

1296
01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:42.239
the women performers on the first season of Next Gen

1297
01:16:42.359 --> 01:16:46.159
all that great. And from what I understand, Gates McFadden

1298
01:16:46.239 --> 01:16:48.279
isn't exactly a shrinking Violet. She kind of, you know,

1299
01:16:48.520 --> 01:16:50.600
says what she thinks. And I think she was just

1300
01:16:50.680 --> 01:16:52.920
kind of like, you know, Sea, I'm not gonna put

1301
01:16:53.000 --> 01:16:55.680
up with this, and out she went, and they realized, Wow,

1302
01:16:56.640 --> 01:16:59.399
they tried it with somebody else, very memorably for some

1303
01:16:59.520 --> 01:17:01.439
of our trek for its here, we have nothing against

1304
01:17:01.720 --> 01:17:03.960
the work that was done by a doctor Pulaski in

1305
01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:06.880
season two. But I think a lot of us we

1306
01:17:07.439 --> 01:17:11.199
missed our doctor Crusher, right, And she just kept coming

1307
01:17:11.279 --> 01:17:16.560
back and being more and more fascinating from season to

1308
01:17:16.680 --> 01:17:23.279
season to season. She directed seven season episode Genesis, and

1309
01:17:24.279 --> 01:17:27.760
that in Data's Day, classic Data episode that we all know, right,

1310
01:17:28.079 --> 01:17:30.319
and they do the whole dancing thing together. That was

1311
01:17:30.399 --> 01:17:33.039
all her work putting that together, because she was a

1312
01:17:33.520 --> 01:17:36.760
Broadway hoofer long before she came into television, right, And

1313
01:17:36.920 --> 01:17:39.720
she did all that dance choreography herself, so it was

1314
01:17:39.840 --> 01:17:43.359
super long career on the boards as a dancer and

1315
01:17:43.520 --> 01:17:47.520
a stage performer before she broke into Hollywood there. But

1316
01:17:48.159 --> 01:17:51.920
I just think she's great. I mean, she's It's interesting

1317
01:17:51.960 --> 01:17:55.680
because Crusher gets kind of people sometimes erroneously think that

1318
01:17:55.760 --> 01:17:57.920
that's a one dimensional character just because she tends to

1319
01:17:57.960 --> 01:18:00.000
be very calm and focused in a lot of situations.

1320
01:18:01.000 --> 01:18:03.079
But that's how you want your doctor to be calm

1321
01:18:03.199 --> 01:18:07.159
and focused. Okay, let me tell you that's that's numero uno.

1322
01:18:07.239 --> 01:18:09.159
When you're dealing with the physician. He wants somebody who

1323
01:18:09.159 --> 01:18:12.079
can not freak out and and basically and there's a

1324
01:18:12.159 --> 01:18:16.960
lot of really surprising moments for her throughout the The

1325
01:18:17.039 --> 01:18:21.560
Star Trek series. And you know, people joke a lot

1326
01:18:21.720 --> 01:18:25.640
about the Ghost Scandal episode, right, I mean they do,

1327
01:18:25.800 --> 01:18:28.840
but it's actually a really you know, the one scene aside,

1328
01:18:28.880 --> 01:18:31.079
it's a really interesting performance, right, and she gets to

1329
01:18:31.159 --> 01:18:33.239
really show you sides of doctor Crusher that we hadn't

1330
01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:37.279
seen before. So it's a why am I blanking on

1331
01:18:37.399 --> 01:18:39.840
that episode title? Eric, it's.

1332
01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:44.239
Ghost Candle and Crusher. Yeah, I don't remember.

1333
01:18:44.279 --> 01:18:46.079
It is a acting me. I should know it if

1334
01:18:46.159 --> 01:18:48.920
I should probably have a tattooed on my you know, thigh.

1335
01:18:49.680 --> 01:18:52.359
But uh, it's just she's great in that it's a

1336
01:18:52.439 --> 01:18:54.720
really good performance, and it's a chance to see different

1337
01:18:54.800 --> 01:18:58.399
sides of the character Subarosa, thank you, thank you. M Yeah,

1338
01:18:58.439 --> 01:19:00.119
but I just think, you know, there's a lot lot

1339
01:19:00.119 --> 01:19:02.479
of characters, yeah, where she's just basically opening the medical

1340
01:19:02.560 --> 01:19:07.680
try corder and being you know, sympathetic and whatnot. But

1341
01:19:08.439 --> 01:19:12.920
there's a lot of other episodes where she really got

1342
01:19:12.960 --> 01:19:15.960
to show a tremendous range and uh, and and just

1343
01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:19.279
really brought a lot of depth to the group relationships,

1344
01:19:19.359 --> 01:19:23.319
right in particular, her just ongoing relationship with Guard is

1345
01:19:23.479 --> 01:19:24.119
just delightful.

1346
01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:27.399
Well to what you were saying before she tells a

1347
01:19:27.560 --> 01:19:31.279
story when you see her on stage at conventions where

1348
01:19:32.039 --> 01:19:34.720
she kept trying to push herself to become one of

1349
01:19:34.800 --> 01:19:38.840
the directors of one of the movies, and she was

1350
01:19:39.039 --> 01:19:42.920
just like constantly running into brick walls with the producers

1351
01:19:43.119 --> 01:19:46.279
of Star Trek and was never given the opportunity past

1352
01:19:46.359 --> 01:19:50.000
those couple of episodes that she got to direct, which

1353
01:19:50.079 --> 01:19:53.159
is too bad because I think that she's probably a

1354
01:19:53.199 --> 01:19:56.279
pretty darn good director. I mean, those episodes are are great,

1355
01:19:56.439 --> 01:19:58.319
and I think that she could have done a lot

1356
01:19:58.560 --> 01:20:02.640
with you know, she'd been given more opportunities. But another

1357
01:20:03.800 --> 01:20:06.199
kind of start, not really Star Trek adjacent, but another

1358
01:20:06.920 --> 01:20:11.079
Muppets Take Manhattan adjacent thing that she did was that

1359
01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:14.960
she was actually the director of choreography and puppet movement

1360
01:20:15.720 --> 01:20:16.720
for Labyrinth.

1361
01:20:17.359 --> 01:20:20.840
Oh god, yeah, yeah that's right. I forgot all about that. Yeah,

1362
01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:25.680
she's amazing, right, And you know, I mean, look at uh,

1363
01:20:26.079 --> 01:20:29.000
look at the career Wrikers had as a director, right,

1364
01:20:29.159 --> 01:20:31.600
I mean, you know, I mean just I think directors,

1365
01:20:32.199 --> 01:20:35.279
really good directors have spent some time acting, and they

1366
01:20:35.399 --> 01:20:39.479
understand how actors work, understand the process, and uh, you know,

1367
01:20:39.680 --> 01:20:41.720
how to relate how to build a character, how to

1368
01:20:41.840 --> 01:20:46.479
communicate better with the cast, right, So that's a real shame. Definitely. Uh,

1369
01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:48.840
you know, all the props in the world were pushing

1370
01:20:48.920 --> 01:20:51.600
back against the patriarchy. That just sucks. I just like,

1371
01:20:51.720 --> 01:20:54.239
I hate to see that that so many, you know,

1372
01:20:54.640 --> 01:20:57.720
women creatives were treated so poorly and sometimes still are.

1373
01:20:58.439 --> 01:21:02.319
Hopefully we're making some progress that area, but I just

1374
01:21:02.439 --> 01:21:05.079
I'm a huge fan. I just think Gates McFadden is

1375
01:21:05.119 --> 01:21:10.319
amazing and just just the you know, she was phenomenal

1376
01:21:10.600 --> 01:21:11.479
on me.

1377
01:21:11.880 --> 01:21:14.159
I'll tell you my one little Gates McFadden story, which

1378
01:21:14.159 --> 01:21:17.119
is totally ajacent and doesn't really mean too much, but

1379
01:21:17.720 --> 01:21:19.640
one of the greatest joys that I've ever had in

1380
01:21:19.720 --> 01:21:22.720
my life was when we got to see the podcast.

1381
01:21:22.840 --> 01:21:26.640
Was invited down to the Picard season one premiere, which

1382
01:21:27.079 --> 01:21:29.399
Charles and I went to. When we were down there,

1383
01:21:29.520 --> 01:21:32.800
and as we were heading into the theater to watch

1384
01:21:32.880 --> 01:21:36.000
the first episode, who should I find myself walking directly

1385
01:21:36.159 --> 01:21:39.520
next to but miss Gates McFadden herself. And I will

1386
01:21:39.600 --> 01:21:43.560
tell you that I was enamored, Like I just didn't

1387
01:21:43.640 --> 01:21:46.560
even know what to do. It's one of those moments

1388
01:21:46.600 --> 01:21:48.279
where you kind of want to say something, but you

1389
01:21:48.359 --> 01:21:50.039
realize that you'll kind of look like a jerk if

1390
01:21:50.079 --> 01:21:52.600
you do, so I ended up not saying anything, and

1391
01:21:52.640 --> 01:21:55.279
I just decided that I was going to bask in

1392
01:21:55.359 --> 01:21:57.520
her aura as much as possible and just kind of

1393
01:21:57.640 --> 01:22:00.239
trying to absorb as much. Gates McFadden as I good

1394
01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:03.800
for that short walk up the aisle into the theater.

1395
01:22:04.159 --> 01:22:07.359
But it was amazing. Yeah, wow, well amazing. I envy

1396
01:22:07.520 --> 01:22:10.079
that for sure, but yeah, I would have been a moment.

1397
01:22:10.159 --> 01:22:12.720
But we salute you, Gates McFadden, and I hope we

1398
01:22:12.800 --> 01:22:15.880
get to see more of you. I hope that, if

1399
01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:18.439
there's any justice in the universe, doctor Crusher has not

1400
01:22:18.680 --> 01:22:23.680
hung up her laser scalpel yet and is still gonna

1401
01:22:24.000 --> 01:22:25.760
that we'll see more of you in the future. I mean,

1402
01:22:26.039 --> 01:22:30.520
but you know, I still think that Picard final season

1403
01:22:30.600 --> 01:22:33.159
there was a great, you know, exit for everybody. I mean,

1404
01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:35.039
they ended on a really high note and was just

1405
01:22:35.119 --> 01:22:37.760
quite lovely. But I think everyone's certainly still hoping at

1406
01:22:37.800 --> 01:22:42.880
some point for more. But yeah, wonderful performer. Maybe I

1407
01:22:42.960 --> 01:22:45.079
wonder if she's still directing. I need to look into

1408
01:22:45.119 --> 01:22:48.640
that offline, But that's what I've got here. Should I

1409
01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:51.760
just keep going, and yeah, let's keep going where Jim's

1410
01:22:52.039 --> 01:22:56.000
uh disconnected, So apologies for that, but I'm going to

1411
01:22:56.039 --> 01:22:58.359
go in here for Jim. You may see some Klingons

1412
01:22:58.399 --> 01:23:00.720
in here because Uncle Jim likes to cling on his list.

1413
01:23:02.199 --> 01:23:04.039
But first of all, before we go there, let's say

1414
01:23:04.039 --> 01:23:08.199
happy birthday to Ethan pack Year, who is now a

1415
01:23:08.319 --> 01:23:12.600
luminary of great stature because he started off playing Fock,

1416
01:23:13.239 --> 01:23:15.880
which is no mean feat, right. I think it's one

1417
01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:17.840
of the ones you're an actor, you're like, oh, can

1418
01:23:17.920 --> 01:23:20.800
I do this? I mean, it's really stepping into someone

1419
01:23:20.840 --> 01:23:23.159
else's shoes who's created such an indelible character. It's no

1420
01:23:23.239 --> 01:23:26.159
easy thing, right, But in the second season of Discovery,

1421
01:23:27.199 --> 01:23:30.960
Ethan Peck stepped up to the plate, and in two

1422
01:23:31.079 --> 01:23:35.199
episodes there of Discovery and subsequent short treks, reprised the

1423
01:23:35.279 --> 01:23:39.199
role as Spock and became ultimately so popular in the

1424
01:23:39.279 --> 01:23:42.840
role that he became a series regular on Strange New Worlds.

1425
01:23:43.039 --> 01:23:46.479
And it's been really open about the fact that he

1426
01:23:46.680 --> 01:23:48.840
is working on the character as we go. He's not

1427
01:23:49.039 --> 01:23:50.800
like I have it all figured out right away. It's

1428
01:23:50.840 --> 01:23:53.079
like he's open about the fact that he wants to

1429
01:23:53.079 --> 01:23:55.159
get better as he goes and get deeper, and he's

1430
01:23:55.319 --> 01:23:59.000
you know, I really think it's refreshing to hear someone

1431
01:23:59.079 --> 01:24:01.479
talk about there, you know, their humility in terms of, like,

1432
01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:04.319
you know, publicly and he's not wrapped in mystique, but

1433
01:24:04.439 --> 01:24:06.439
he's just like talking about it, which is great and

1434
01:24:06.680 --> 01:24:10.439
acknowledging that he's you know, wanting to build as he goes.

1435
01:24:10.439 --> 01:24:14.399
So I think it's great. And also you know what lineage, right,

1436
01:24:15.079 --> 01:24:17.960
he's the grandson of the great Gregory Peck, you know,

1437
01:24:18.079 --> 01:24:20.319
which is one of my all time favorite actors, like

1438
01:24:20.640 --> 01:24:24.520
ever all right, the legendary, So I mean, what a

1439
01:24:24.720 --> 01:24:28.840
what a stable to pull from disincredible, but but Ethan Peck.

1440
01:24:28.920 --> 01:24:32.000
We eagerly look forward to the next season of Strange

1441
01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:33.960
in Worlds, and hopefully we're going to find out when

1442
01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:35.920
that's going to be soon. Probably it's going to be

1443
01:24:35.960 --> 01:24:38.600
in May, fellas I would say, if there's any you know,

1444
01:24:38.760 --> 01:24:41.359
I mean that's not that it's March here now, and

1445
01:24:41.520 --> 01:24:43.520
I'm betting that by the end of this month that

1446
01:24:43.640 --> 01:24:50.039
will have a premier date. Probably, yeah, we need to

1447
01:24:50.079 --> 01:24:51.680
have it. I mean, it could it could be June,

1448
01:24:52.119 --> 01:24:54.399
but they've been kind of dropping little hints here and there,

1449
01:24:54.520 --> 01:24:57.560
and I suspect that we'll know soon, so hang in there.

1450
01:24:59.560 --> 01:25:01.880
And it looks looks like from what I've seen from

1451
01:25:02.439 --> 01:25:04.520
the guest we have coming on the show Sunday for

1452
01:25:04.600 --> 01:25:09.479
our special episode with Ben Robinson from Master Replicas. One

1453
01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:12.640
of the absolute first figures that Master Replicas is featuring

1454
01:25:12.680 --> 01:25:15.960
in their brand brand Brand spank, a new series of

1455
01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:19.000
Star Trek figures is going to be an Ethan Peck.

1456
01:25:20.359 --> 01:25:24.000
So pretty cool way to inaugurate things and and get

1457
01:25:24.079 --> 01:25:28.720
that line started with class and excitement. So very cool.

1458
01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:31.720
So Ethan Peck, Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday goes

1459
01:25:31.760 --> 01:25:35.960
out also to Tracy Lee Coco, actress, model and stunt

1460
01:25:36.039 --> 01:25:40.119
woman who has been just replete throughout the Star Trek franchise.

1461
01:25:40.199 --> 01:25:43.079
She was on Next Generation all the time, Deep Space

1462
01:25:43.239 --> 01:25:51.119
nine Voyager, she repaired, Repaired, appeared as her regular character. Yeah,

1463
01:25:51.159 --> 01:25:52.479
she read it ever down and then you got to

1464
01:25:52.520 --> 01:25:55.640
just take a panel off in repair. But she appeared

1465
01:25:55.640 --> 01:25:58.720
as a regular called Lieutenant Jay, a regular character on

1466
01:25:58.760 --> 01:26:02.039
the show between the fourth in seventh seasons. Whenever somebody

1467
01:26:02.079 --> 01:26:04.600
had to scoury off to the trebo lift, she jump

1468
01:26:04.640 --> 01:26:06.680
over to that navigator station and jump over to Helm

1469
01:26:06.760 --> 01:26:10.319
Console and then Pinch Hit if need be, you know, but.

1470
01:26:11.079 --> 01:26:14.960
Three episodes, sixty three sixty three episodes, she was in

1471
01:26:15.039 --> 01:26:15.800
of next generation.

1472
01:26:16.159 --> 01:26:17.079
That's just next gen.

1473
01:26:17.199 --> 01:26:20.439
That's not that's not that's oh, that's just next gen.

1474
01:26:20.479 --> 01:26:22.960
That talking about like deep space.

1475
01:26:23.119 --> 01:26:24.960
Oh my god, that's a lot of generations.

1476
01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:27.119
I mean she was yeah, yeah, yeah, she was in

1477
01:26:27.199 --> 01:26:31.039
generations and I think subsequent like First Contact Insurrection as well.

1478
01:26:31.079 --> 01:26:33.319
So that's a lot of a lot of track. That's

1479
01:26:33.319 --> 01:26:34.840
a lot of trick going on, I'll tell you that.

1480
01:26:35.159 --> 01:26:38.279
So you saw during the intro a picture of Jim

1481
01:26:38.319 --> 01:26:40.720
and I with her, and she is one of the

1482
01:26:40.880 --> 01:26:44.319
most delightful human beings I have ever met in my life.

1483
01:26:44.439 --> 01:26:49.760
She I've never felt so welcomed by a person who

1484
01:26:49.920 --> 01:26:52.960
didn't know who I was. Like, she literally was like,

1485
01:26:53.520 --> 01:26:56.479
Eric's so nice to meet you. Gave me a big

1486
01:26:56.640 --> 01:26:58.720
hug the first time I met her, never met her

1487
01:26:58.760 --> 01:27:01.239
before in my life. It was like we've been lifelong friends.

1488
01:27:01.239 --> 01:27:03.920
So I'll just tell you that she instantly, if she

1489
01:27:04.079 --> 01:27:06.800
wasn't already, she instantly at that moment, became one of

1490
01:27:06.880 --> 01:27:09.680
my favorite Star Trek personalities of all time because she

1491
01:27:09.920 --> 01:27:11.800
just was so warm, right from the.

1492
01:27:11.840 --> 01:27:14.840
Get how So what you're saying is she's a real introvert.

1493
01:27:15.680 --> 01:27:18.039
Yeah, no, she's super extroverted.

1494
01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:26.479
She was big, she was Hollywood like, you know, run

1495
01:27:26.560 --> 01:27:30.199
out there, hug everybody, do you think right? That's totally great? Well,

01:27:33.439 --> 01:27:35.640

1498
01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:41.640
we will find out. Happy birthday goes out to J. D. Cullum, who, uh,

1499
01:27:43.640 --> 01:27:45.640
I don't even know if I can say it right,

1500
01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:50.279
but I don't even know, But who can do it

1501
01:27:51.680 --> 01:28:01.000
worth myself to? He played Son of Very Good the

1502
01:28:01.199 --> 01:28:06.039
Next Gen's fourth and fifth season classic two part episodes

1503
01:28:06.159 --> 01:28:11.239
Redemption and Redemption Part two. So great. I mean, man,

1504
01:28:11.279 --> 01:28:13.600
it was just like it's it's a gift to make

1505
01:28:13.680 --> 01:28:16.239
somebody just instantly hate you on camera. I think you

1506
01:28:16.319 --> 01:28:18.039
got to be you know, you just got to have

1507
01:28:18.159 --> 01:28:20.159
a thing right and I don't know what it is,

1508
01:28:20.279 --> 01:28:24.119
but man, did we not like you in that role?

1509
01:28:24.279 --> 01:28:26.800
Like right out of the gate, Right out of the gate.

1510
01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:29.680
I mean that's that's that's that's craftsmanship. I mean, you

1511
01:28:29.800 --> 01:28:31.520
just you got to be able to you know, have

1512
01:28:31.640 --> 01:28:34.199
a lot going on there, and it's just well, read

1513
01:28:34.319 --> 01:28:36.800
and well performed just so great. And he's just like

1514
01:28:36.920 --> 01:28:39.359
you know, joined at the hip with the Duras sisters, right,

1515
01:28:39.479 --> 01:28:43.239
Theda sisters. Right. I mean, I'm not distracting at all,

1516
01:28:43.399 --> 01:28:45.920
but and then subsequent roles and looks on the Orville

1517
01:28:45.960 --> 01:28:51.760
there as well. Jim Jihow. Yeah, so it's great Star.

1518
01:28:51.640 --> 01:28:56.399
Trek and fun Star Trek Trivia. He's the second Tarral

1519
01:28:58.000 --> 01:29:02.520
canonically in Star Trek because Star Trek Enterprise had the

1520
01:29:02.640 --> 01:29:06.239
original Toral who was also in the House of Doras.

1521
01:29:06.439 --> 01:29:10.319
But from the Enterprise and episodes, judgment and the expanse, no.

1522
01:29:10.720 --> 01:29:12.680
Am I looking at a typo then here is that

1523
01:29:12.800 --> 01:29:15.199
you should be Toral and that is that's sounding more

1524
01:29:15.279 --> 01:29:18.840
familiar because my show notes say Torah as in Tora.

1525
01:29:19.479 --> 01:29:20.680
There's supposed to be an l on there.

1526
01:29:20.800 --> 01:29:25.039
Yeah yeah, okay, wow, okay, unforgivable. I'm going to speak

1527
01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:29.319
to the copy editor at the Daily Planet and give

1528
01:29:29.359 --> 01:29:32.640
him a sound or knuckle rapping with my rulers. Let's

1529
01:29:33.359 --> 01:29:37.359
typos are unforgivable. I feel very strongly about them. And

1530
01:29:37.720 --> 01:29:40.439
let's wrap up our birthday segment with saying happy birthday

1531
01:29:40.760 --> 01:29:44.960
to the wonderful Patrick Masset. Okay, who is just again

1532
01:29:45.399 --> 01:29:49.840
Klingon of Klingons, And again, what better intro did we

1533
01:29:49.920 --> 01:29:52.680
ever give him? Because boy, did you think we did

1534
01:29:52.720 --> 01:29:56.399
not like Toral? I think people like practically through like

1535
01:29:56.640 --> 01:30:02.439
tomatoes at the screen when do showed up? Okay, I mean, wow,

1536
01:30:03.079 --> 01:30:08.560
he just this guy is just what other question?

1537
01:30:08.720 --> 01:30:08.960
Oh?

1538
01:30:09.760 --> 01:30:12.520
Okay? Now, Patrick mass that we're talking about him because

1539
01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:16.079
of his you know, indelible work as Duras in third

1540
01:30:16.119 --> 01:30:20.920
and fourth season Next Gen episodes classic worst Redemption art right,

1541
01:30:21.439 --> 01:30:25.600
Sins of the Father and then Reunion, Right, and what

1542
01:30:25.840 --> 01:30:29.640
does Durass do that is the most unforgivable sin of

1543
01:30:29.720 --> 01:30:41.640
all dishonors if I'm not unless I'm really mistaken. He

1544
01:30:41.920 --> 01:30:46.399
kills Klar Oh yeah he does. Yeah, I beloved Susie Plaxon,

1545
01:30:47.319 --> 01:30:51.800
guest of the show, But yeah, Durrass just bastard of

1546
01:30:51.880 --> 01:30:54.800
Bastard's head needs to be on a pike in front

1547
01:30:54.840 --> 01:30:58.079
of the main palace of Kronos, right, I mean just oh,

1548
01:30:58.840 --> 01:31:01.439
and the moral comp promises people have to make for

1549
01:31:01.560 --> 01:31:04.800
this piece of crap, I mean, throughout those episodes, it's

1550
01:31:04.920 --> 01:31:08.680
just terrible. But this guy is phenomenal. He's a force

1551
01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:13.760
of nature, actor, writer, director, producer done just a million

1552
01:31:13.840 --> 01:31:17.399
different things, but man, he's one of the all time.

1553
01:31:17.520 --> 01:31:19.680
I mean, if Uncle Jim, we're able to communicate with

1554
01:31:19.800 --> 01:31:23.680
us right now, Uncle Jim, send us a sign if

1555
01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:26.039
you can from the beyond. I don't know what you're

1556
01:31:26.039 --> 01:31:28.640
gonna do, but send us a sign. I would argue.

1557
01:31:29.960 --> 01:31:32.000
I would argue that dress is one of the all

1558
01:31:32.079 --> 01:31:36.760
time great Klingons ever. I mean, just because he's so despicable, right,

1559
01:31:36.880 --> 01:31:40.399
I would you know, killing karma, says Uncle Jim. So

1560
01:31:40.680 --> 01:31:45.439
there we go. But it's just so great. I mean again,

1561
01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:47.640
when you really love to hate a bad guy, you've

1562
01:31:47.680 --> 01:31:51.520
created an indelible bad guy. And ladies and gentlemen audiences

1563
01:31:51.720 --> 01:31:55.479
across the globe. That wraps up our weekly trek talking

1564
01:31:56.039 --> 01:31:59.880
birthday tribute. We have paid tribute to those who have

1565
01:32:00.199 --> 01:32:04.600
gone beyond into the undiscovered country of the ether, and

1566
01:32:04.760 --> 01:32:08.319
we've paid tribute to those who are still kicking it

1567
01:32:08.439 --> 01:32:13.159
and rocking and rolling and popping champagne corks left and right.

1568
01:32:13.520 --> 01:32:15.479
Some one just hit me in the head. That must

1569
01:32:15.520 --> 01:32:18.600
have been Barbara Luna. But anyhow, I think that that

1570
01:32:19.359 --> 01:32:22.520
covers everybody, and I think we still have time to

1571
01:32:22.560 --> 01:32:24.359
do a little Star Trek News, Fellas, what do you think?

1572
01:32:24.880 --> 01:32:28.479
Try already one message from Starfleet coming in on secure.

1577
01:32:49.319 --> 01:32:52.560
And because here on Trek talking part of our many

1578
01:32:52.600 --> 01:32:54.880
trucksport duties, there is one of us who likes to

1579
01:32:54.920 --> 01:32:57.960
hang around near what I would call the the United

1580
01:32:58.000 --> 01:33:01.680
Federation of Planets crypt whose keeping track of who's dead,

1581
01:33:01.920 --> 01:33:05.239
right and you know, paying you know, special attention to

1582
01:33:05.279 --> 01:33:06.439
those folks who have moved on.

1583
01:33:06.640 --> 01:33:06.760
Right.

1584
01:33:06.840 --> 01:33:10.479
That's why Eric has the you know, Remembrances segment every week, right,

1585
01:33:10.760 --> 01:33:12.800
but to keep track of this from historical perspective. So

1586
01:33:12.880 --> 01:33:16.000
it's only fitting that Eric take on this first story

1587
01:33:16.119 --> 01:33:18.159
of the night. Would you agree, my friend.

1588
01:33:18.279 --> 01:33:21.279
I would completely agree. I'm also guessing that there's a

1589
01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:24.359
secondary reason I was given this one due to Robert

1590
01:33:24.640 --> 01:33:28.319
Orse's crossover into one of my other favorite franchises, Transformers

1591
01:33:28.960 --> 01:33:34.039

Quote.

1619
01:35:14.079 --> 01:35:16.359
Everyone at Fox is saddened by the loss of our

1620
01:35:16.439 --> 01:35:20.000
friend and colleague Roberto Orsi, The network said in a statement.

1621
01:35:20.439 --> 01:35:24.720
He was an incredibly talented creator, writer, and executive producer,

1622
01:35:25.199 --> 01:35:28.159
especially known at Fox for being part of the creative

1623
01:35:28.199 --> 01:35:32.439
team behind our wonderful, groundbreaking sci Fi inspired drama's Fringe

1624
01:35:32.840 --> 01:35:36.199
and Sleepy Hollow. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with

1625
01:35:36.319 --> 01:35:40.159
Bob's family and loved ones at this time. Orsi, who

1626
01:35:40.319 --> 01:35:44.239
was public about his past struggles with alcoholism and his recovery,

1627
01:35:44.720 --> 01:35:49.399
is survived by his father Roberto Orci, senior, mother Maquis

and Courtney Ford, and his dog Bogie.

1630
01:36:00.119 --> 01:36:00.399
Quote.

1631
01:36:00.760 --> 01:36:03.479
He was a visionary storyteller with a boundless heart and

1632
01:36:03.600 --> 01:36:04.520
a beautiful soul.

1633
01:36:04.760 --> 01:36:05.079
Jr.

1634
01:36:05.399 --> 01:36:07.960
Orse He said, but beyond his creative talents. He was

1635
01:36:08.000 --> 01:36:10.720
a compassionate friend who would put his life on hold

1636
01:36:10.800 --> 01:36:13.039
to help a stranger and find room in his home

1637
01:36:13.119 --> 01:36:16.600
for the most overlooked up at the shelter. At the

1638
01:36:16.640 --> 01:36:19.359
time of his death, Orsie and his estranged wife, actress

1639
01:36:19.439 --> 01:36:23.119
Adele Heather Taylor, had dueling lawsuits pending, each accusing the

1640
01:36:23.199 --> 01:36:27.279
other of assault and abuse. We are extremely saddened on

1641
01:36:27.399 --> 01:36:31.079
the podcast here by the loss of Roberto Orsi. Of

1642
01:36:31.159 --> 01:36:34.279
course none of us knew him, but it's clear that

1643
01:36:34.680 --> 01:36:41.319
his influence was throughout so many of the entertainment franchises

1644
01:36:41.359 --> 01:36:45.680
that we really appreciate on the podcast here. And I

1645
01:36:45.800 --> 01:36:48.079
can say that, you know, as co writer producer of

1646
01:36:48.199 --> 01:36:51.479
so many of these great things like the newer Star

1647
01:36:51.600 --> 01:36:56.239
Trek movies or Fringe in particular, which was a show

1648
01:36:56.279 --> 01:36:58.479
that I really got into at the time that was on.

1649
01:36:59.399 --> 01:37:02.279
His sort of talent only comes along every so often,

1650
01:37:02.359 --> 01:37:05.640
and it's really sad when somebody has lost this early

1651
01:37:05.720 --> 01:37:08.800
in life to a terrible, terrible disease. So that just

1652
01:37:08.880 --> 01:37:13.239
goes to show that medical research is really important and

1653
01:37:13.479 --> 01:37:17.000
hopefully in the future we'll be able to cure things

1654
01:37:17.119 --> 01:37:20.119
like the terrible kidney disease he was lost from So

1655
01:37:21.039 --> 01:37:26.119
that is our remembrance story for this week. And it

1656
01:37:26.199 --> 01:37:30.159
looks like we have a Strange New World's season four story, Charles,

1657
01:37:30.199 --> 01:37:31.319
would you like to take that one on.

1658
01:37:35.680 --> 01:37:36.359
Back up? Sure?

1659
01:37:37.640 --> 01:37:41.600
Star Treks Strange Deal World season four production officially underway

1660
01:37:43.000 --> 01:37:47.079
while we wait word on the third season, Paramount Plus's

1661
01:37:47.199 --> 01:37:53.000
antson Mount Rebecca Rejane Ethan Pech starring Star Trek Schange

1662
01:37:53.039 --> 01:37:56.319
Deal World will premiere. You've got some good news in

1663
01:37:56.399 --> 01:38:01.239
the fourth season to pass along with immag spotlighting Mount

1664
01:38:01.399 --> 01:38:08.159
holding a clapboard Peck and Cela Rose Gooding, The streaming

1665
01:38:08.279 --> 01:38:12.079
services confirmed that production of the fourth season was officially underway.

1666
01:38:13.399 --> 01:38:17.840
Back in November twenty twenty four, Jess Bush nurse Christine

1667
01:38:17.880 --> 01:38:22.720
Chappell shared with pix eleven nudes in support of her

1668
01:38:22.840 --> 01:38:27.960
new art installation Be Totem. The season three will hopefully

1669
01:38:28.039 --> 01:38:32.239
come out early next year twenty twenty five, and at

1670
01:38:32.279 --> 01:38:36.560
the fourth season, we'll begin filming this month during Sandy

1671
01:38:36.600 --> 01:38:41.640
Yukama CON's twenty twenty four presentation. Earlier this summer, the

1672
01:38:41.760 --> 01:38:44.199
first look at the clip was released that finds the

1673
01:38:44.279 --> 01:38:48.800
crew forts become Falcans to complete a mission. But let's

1674
01:38:48.840 --> 01:38:53.840
just say it doesn't quite work out for Kine's Pella.

1675
01:38:54.760 --> 01:38:56.039
In addition, we learned that.

1676
01:38:57.720 --> 01:39:04.880
Selena Cilean from the Cold, has tapped in for a

1677
01:39:04.960 --> 01:39:11.399
recurring role as doctor Roger Corby, and Martha Quinn's Scottie

1678
01:39:11.479 --> 01:39:17.920
has been up to a series regular. Wow, and we're

1679
01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:22.319
definitely looking out forward to definitely looking forward to that.

1680
01:39:24.520 --> 01:39:26.520
Yeah, I mean season three coming out soon. We know

1681
01:39:26.640 --> 01:39:28.560
Season four is on the way, which is really cool.

1682
01:39:28.680 --> 01:39:30.600
And the only thing that I want to mention about

1683
01:39:30.640 --> 01:39:32.760
this story, which was kind of an aside in here,

1684
01:39:32.920 --> 01:39:35.760
was that if you haven't seen Jess Bush's b Totem,

1685
01:39:36.600 --> 01:39:39.520
look it up online. It is a heck of an

1686
01:39:39.640 --> 01:39:42.439
art installation. And I didn't even know the caliber of

1687
01:39:42.560 --> 01:39:45.039
artists that she was until I saw that. So go

1688
01:39:45.199 --> 01:39:47.880
check that out if you haven't seen it before. And

1689
01:39:48.359 --> 01:39:50.680
it looks like we've got time for one more story, Paul.

1690
01:39:51.079 --> 01:39:54.039
All right, Wow, excited to see very cool this whole

1691
01:39:54.159 --> 01:39:57.800
mentioning of doctor Roger Corby old school.

1692
01:39:58.239 --> 01:40:02.119
Yeah, another shot right another.

1693
01:40:02.880 --> 01:40:05.119
Very very curious to see that. So I like when

1694
01:40:05.119 --> 01:40:07.840
there's those those kind of callbacks could be really cool.

1695
01:40:08.119 --> 01:40:09.800
So I'm very curious see what they do with it.

1696
01:40:09.920 --> 01:40:12.560
So we'll find out. And I feel like I'm about

1697
01:40:12.640 --> 01:40:15.039
to sneeze. I hope I can master it and prevent

1698
01:40:15.119 --> 01:40:18.800
it from keeping my nasal membranes here. So we will see.

1699
01:40:19.479 --> 01:40:22.479
But first I'm going to attempt writing the mute button,

1700
01:40:22.800 --> 01:40:27.039
like you know, like a jockey at the Kentucky Derby.

1701
01:40:28.079 --> 01:40:30.199
I'm gonna attempt to tell you all about the first

1702
01:40:30.239 --> 01:40:33.760
wave of the Nacelle Companies Star Trek figures that are

1703
01:40:33.880 --> 01:40:38.760
now available for pre order. Wow, this is pretty exciting news,

1704
01:40:38.880 --> 01:40:43.640
and I would argue a bold and daring release as well,

1705
01:40:44.000 --> 01:40:46.840
because after announcing their first batch of Star Trek figures

1706
01:40:46.920 --> 01:40:49.800
back in October, the na Cell Company is now taking

1707
01:40:49.880 --> 01:40:56.079
pre orders right now for these pre ordering figures for

1708
01:40:56.199 --> 01:41:01.199
delivery later this year. I'm here in hopefully October, assuming

1709
01:41:01.239 --> 01:41:05.119
we still have a civilization. Then the first group of

1710
01:41:05.159 --> 01:41:07.399
the nas Cell Companies figures, which are between six and

1711
01:41:07.479 --> 01:41:10.399
seven inches tall, kind of your one twelve scale type

1712
01:41:10.439 --> 01:41:13.479
deal here. If you used to collect the Diamond Select figures,

1713
01:41:13.920 --> 01:41:16.399
those kind of six inch bad boys, you know what

1714
01:41:16.439 --> 01:41:18.560
I'm talking about. This is just near a more modern

1715
01:41:18.600 --> 01:41:24.960
evolution of those, with you know, the improved technology that

1716
01:41:25.079 --> 01:41:28.159
action figures have now since those days there, So we

1717
01:41:28.439 --> 01:41:32.720
have got a wave including Mirror Jonathan Archer right from

1718
01:41:32.760 --> 01:41:35.800
Star Trek Enterprise, Valchris from Star Trek three, the Star

1719
01:41:35.880 --> 01:41:39.000
Triss Bock two vis from Star Trek Voyager, who question

1720
01:41:40.079 --> 01:41:44.039
stated his post from Wrath of Khan Wayun from Deep

1721
01:41:44.079 --> 01:41:50.199
Space nine, Captain Kru Sulu from the Undiscovered Country, Yeah, my,

1722
01:41:50.640 --> 01:41:55.199
and Captain Rachel Garrett uh from Star Trek Next Generation.

1723
01:41:55.399 --> 01:41:59.680
Who did we forget here? This poorly edited article is

1724
01:41:59.680 --> 01:42:05.359
for god in somebody, why it's forgotten? Admiral Jellico, right,

1725
01:42:05.760 --> 01:42:07.239
do we have the ability to go back and look

1726
01:42:07.239 --> 01:42:12.079
at any of those again? David is the okay? Because

1727
01:42:12.079 --> 01:42:16.520
there's there's the there's the Mirror Enterprise Archer there because

1728
01:42:16.560 --> 01:42:18.800
you like to pour Champagne on his face? Right, So

1729
01:42:18.960 --> 01:42:22.920
he he did? He comes with that. Look at that.

1730
01:42:23.079 --> 01:42:26.439
You got the full on Valcris there with the Genesis Torpedo,

1731
01:42:26.479 --> 01:42:29.920
which is an amazing accessory, really generous with the accessories

1732
01:42:29.960 --> 01:42:31.960
on this line. I have to say, it's just preposterous.

1733
01:42:33.000 --> 01:42:35.239
There we have our good friend Tuviks with all kinds

1734
01:42:35.239 --> 01:42:40.760
of stuff there, multiple accessories and and at least one

1735
01:42:40.800 --> 01:42:42.880
face golf, which is great. You get to Peter Preston.

1736
01:42:42.920 --> 01:42:46.600
There is a special face exploded version of Peter Preston,

1737
01:42:47.479 --> 01:42:49.760
which is great. And if you just wait, there seems

1738
01:42:49.760 --> 01:42:52.640
to be a theme that we're seeing here, because first

1739
01:42:52.720 --> 01:42:54.359
let's look at wayun here with all of.

1740
01:42:54.359 --> 01:42:58.399
The half eat I'm not sure.

1741
01:42:58.520 --> 01:43:00.239
Maybe it is half eating piece of pizza. That's what

1742
01:43:00.319 --> 01:43:03.239
I see too, David. And then oh, there's mister Sulu.

1743
01:43:03.600 --> 01:43:05.640
How do we resist getting him? I don't think we can.

1744
01:43:05.760 --> 01:43:10.119
I think it's a must. Yeah, it's pretty great. But

1745
01:43:11.840 --> 01:43:14.640
here's that theme exploded heads. They even give you the

1746
01:43:14.720 --> 01:43:17.079
alternate head for Rachel Garrett where she's got the giant

1747
01:43:17.119 --> 01:43:19.960
piece of like, you know, aluminum in her forehead there,

1748
01:43:20.079 --> 01:43:23.439
so you know, what a shame. And there he is, Jellico,

1749
01:43:23.760 --> 01:43:26.199
get that fish out of my office, right, I mean,

1750
01:43:26.239 --> 01:43:29.279
there's nice still back there. So there's a sense of

1751
01:43:29.439 --> 01:43:32.920
humor to a lot of the accessories that are putting

1752
01:43:33.000 --> 01:43:34.960
together in this wave here. I don't know if we

1753
01:43:35.000 --> 01:43:36.600
have a picture of it, but they also just did

1754
01:43:36.880 --> 01:43:40.479
a little sneak preview giving us a look at William

1755
01:43:40.520 --> 01:43:45.479
Shatner sculpt from the highlight of the second wave that's

1756
01:43:45.560 --> 01:43:49.039
coming following. I think due to be announced pretty soon,

1757
01:43:49.159 --> 01:43:51.000
certainly in the next couple of months. But it's one

1758
01:43:51.039 --> 01:43:55.000
of the best. It's from the Monster Maroon era of

1759
01:43:55.600 --> 01:43:58.600
Admiral Kirk right, and it's a dynamite sculpt I gotta

1760
01:43:58.640 --> 01:44:00.319
say it's one of the best sculpts I've ever scene

1761
01:44:00.800 --> 01:44:05.000
of Shatner. It's really in there, So kudos to everybody

1762
01:44:05.039 --> 01:44:07.720
at Nassel there. I'm really hoping to get.

1763
01:44:07.920 --> 01:44:08.039
Uh.

1764
01:44:09.560 --> 01:44:12.560
I don't want to miss up the guy's name because

1765
01:44:12.640 --> 01:44:20.880
I really hate that. Is it Brian Volkweiss. Sorry doing

1766
01:44:20.960 --> 01:44:24.880
this on air is so rude, but I don't want to. Yeah,

1767
01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:29.760
Brian Vulkweiss is the mastermind at Nassel Toys, Okay, and

1768
01:44:30.000 --> 01:44:32.720
he's the one who, basically, I think from what I

1769
01:44:32.800 --> 01:44:35.960
get the sense, kind of put this whole thing together

1770
01:44:36.119 --> 01:44:38.960
and shows deliberately not to just necessarily go with like,

1771
01:44:40.680 --> 01:44:44.439
you know, top tier Oosduce balk Os, Drew Kirk you know,

1772
01:44:44.560 --> 01:44:47.560
but to do more obscure characters, a deliberate choice right,

1773
01:44:47.680 --> 01:44:51.159
to do characters that have never been figured before or

1774
01:44:51.199 --> 01:44:53.800
featured as figures before. Let's make that not sound quite

1775
01:44:53.840 --> 01:44:58.039
so odd, And to really go crazy with touchstones right,

1776
01:44:58.199 --> 01:45:03.359
like the Aquarium diorama there and lots of generous successories.

1777
01:45:03.439 --> 01:45:05.560
Did you ever think you'd see a Peter Preston figure.

1778
01:45:05.640 --> 01:45:06.199
I don't think so.

1779
01:45:06.600 --> 01:45:07.840
I never thought i'd see.

1780
01:45:11.239 --> 01:45:13.720
He's got opinions, this guy, right, and he really he's

1781
01:45:13.880 --> 01:45:16.079
it's it's a risky move in this day and age,

1782
01:45:16.159 --> 01:45:20.359
but I think there it is excellent work. David. Look

1783
01:45:20.399 --> 01:45:26.439
at that skulp that quickly. Yeah, David, I'm telling you

1784
01:45:26.600 --> 01:45:28.960
you just you moved up to the You're no longer

1785
01:45:29.039 --> 01:45:32.760
a lower decker baby, You're Yeah, you're in the captain's

1786
01:45:32.800 --> 01:45:34.560
chair now. As far as I'm concerned.

1787
01:45:34.720 --> 01:45:34.800
That.

1788
01:45:36.880 --> 01:45:39.199
Is a phenomenal. Look at that. That's that bodes well

1789
01:45:39.880 --> 01:45:41.960
for a toy line success. I think so. And from

1790
01:45:41.960 --> 01:45:44.960
what I understand subsequent waves, he was probably going to

1791
01:45:45.039 --> 01:45:48.840
do like you know, full bridge crew waves. Right, So

1792
01:45:48.920 --> 01:45:50.640
if like you want to get all the Deep Space

1793
01:45:50.760 --> 01:45:53.239
nine characters, you can probably get him all in a wave, right,

1794
01:45:53.279 --> 01:45:54.880
You wouldn't have to just sort of, you know, keep

1795
01:45:55.600 --> 01:45:58.800
parsing him out over and over and over, right, and wait,

1796
01:45:58.920 --> 01:46:00.520
oh I got to this way. We're going to wait

1797
01:46:00.600 --> 01:46:02.079
two more waves to get the rest of them, right.

1798
01:46:02.279 --> 01:46:04.159
I think he's going to try to be completionist that way.

1799
01:46:04.239 --> 01:46:07.199
So I'm excited for it. I'm I'm you know, I

1800
01:46:07.720 --> 01:46:11.239
love that because you know, Brian is doing the six

1801
01:46:11.359 --> 01:46:14.479
inch six and a half inch wave of figures our

1802
01:46:14.560 --> 01:46:18.279
guest on the Sunday Show, Ben is going to be

1803
01:46:18.359 --> 01:46:21.520
doing from Master Replicas, Ben Robinson's going to be doing

1804
01:46:23.319 --> 01:46:26.680
figures are more precisely aligned with the Playmates waves, right,

1805
01:46:26.760 --> 01:46:30.960
those four point seventy five five inch scale figures that

1806
01:46:31.079 --> 01:46:34.159
a lot of us really missed out on. Play Playmates

1807
01:46:34.239 --> 01:46:36.439
tried to resurrect their line and just couldn't do it.

1808
01:46:36.800 --> 01:46:39.520
It just dropped the ball hard. Sorry playmates, but you

1809
01:46:39.600 --> 01:46:43.760
really did unpleasant. And so Ben Robinson is trying to

1810
01:46:43.800 --> 01:46:46.840
come in here and resurrect that scale figure. So I

1811
01:46:47.000 --> 01:46:50.159
think with the kind of choices, I think what makes

1812
01:46:50.199 --> 01:46:55.199
these figures succeed is making you know, cool character choices,

1813
01:46:55.319 --> 01:46:57.760
not recycling things, doing things we've never seen before that

1814
01:46:57.840 --> 01:46:59.600
you never even knew you wanted. That's what I see

1815
01:46:59.640 --> 01:47:02.479
coming from them to sell here, which is really exciting.

1816
01:47:02.600 --> 01:47:06.439
And I think you're going to see a similar deep

1817
01:47:06.520 --> 01:47:09.439
bench pulls from what Master Replicas does and hopefully they

1818
01:47:09.479 --> 01:47:11.600
can coexist being in different scales. I like to think

1819
01:47:11.640 --> 01:47:14.479
that both toy lines will do really, really well, and

1820
01:47:14.640 --> 01:47:17.319
so we're going to be talking again this coming Sunday.

1821
01:47:17.399 --> 01:47:20.520
We're going to be doing a special show with Master

1822
01:47:20.720 --> 01:47:24.640
Replica's very own Ben Robinson, who's just one of the

1823
01:47:24.840 --> 01:47:27.800
Trek luminaries that there is. I mean, the guy's a

1824
01:47:28.079 --> 01:47:33.479
massive fan writer, editor, toy aficionado. I mean, this guy's

1825
01:47:33.880 --> 01:47:37.840
great and making time for us and his incredibly busy

1826
01:47:38.279 --> 01:47:42.079
UK schedule, which is we're like hours apart over here

1827
01:47:42.119 --> 01:47:43.880
in the United States, and it's great that we've got

1828
01:47:43.960 --> 01:47:46.680
him lined up to be able to break some bread

1829
01:47:46.720 --> 01:47:49.920
with us and disclose a few things, if you know

1830
01:47:50.000 --> 01:47:52.800
what I'm saying. So it should be very exciting on

1831
01:47:52.920 --> 01:47:55.760
this week's show, But I think we're running up against

1832
01:47:55.800 --> 01:48:00.399
the bottom of the hour here, Pals again, we should all,

1833
01:48:00.640 --> 01:48:02.640
you know, give one of the East Uncle Jim, who

1834
01:48:02.680 --> 01:48:04.760
got technically separated from us, sorry to miss you on

1835
01:48:06.159 --> 01:48:09.439
I'm reminded of Tholian Web right when Kirk just just

1836
01:48:09.600 --> 01:48:12.920
went out of phase and he's like, I'm over here

1837
01:48:15.680 --> 01:48:17.680
and then they missed him. He couldn't fight. What is

1838
01:48:17.760 --> 01:48:19.119
he saying? Can you understand?

1839
01:48:19.279 --> 01:48:23.640
He's like, I'm sorry, JOm, I couldn't get to the platform.

1840
01:48:24.399 --> 01:48:27.520
Yeah, we'll try to catch you on the next orbit, captain. Right,

1841
01:48:27.600 --> 01:48:30.920
it's like that. So apologies for Uncle Jim not being

1842
01:48:30.960 --> 01:48:32.960
here to finish things off, but you know we're all

1843
01:48:33.039 --> 01:48:36.079
here to do whatever row whatever or his need rowing. Right,

1844
01:48:36.239 --> 01:48:41.159
So gentlemen, shall we all say our fond farewells? And uh, David,

1845
01:48:41.399 --> 01:48:43.319
you rocked it, dude. I mean to be able to

1846
01:48:43.399 --> 01:48:46.520
pull that uh oh, look at that all those pictures

1847
01:48:46.560 --> 01:48:52.880
of Oscar Winner. Oh, don't even get me started. We'll

1848
01:48:52.880 --> 01:48:55.680
save that for the next episode. I'm still recovering from

1849
01:48:55.720 --> 01:48:59.760
the candle segment. But David, you pulled that Shatner picture

1850
01:48:59.800 --> 01:49:01.000
right out of your ear there. I don't know how

1851
01:49:01.039 --> 01:49:05.479
you did that, but but thanks for being our mastermind

1852
01:49:05.600 --> 01:49:08.000
of all things visual and whatnot.

1853
01:49:09.520 --> 01:49:12.239
Yeah, no, it's been really fun. I hope to do

1854
01:49:12.359 --> 01:49:13.279
some more for you guys.

1855
01:49:14.279 --> 01:49:17.039
Always always, Charles Man, thanks for hanging in there dude

1856
01:49:17.560 --> 01:49:20.399
and beaming in from the other side of the vortex.

1857
01:49:22.159 --> 01:49:25.439
Sorry, navigator was playing around thumping things around.

1858
01:49:25.640 --> 01:49:30.000
So yeah, Charles got like I think Charles lives as

1859
01:49:30.119 --> 01:49:32.239
if I you know, you don't always know, so you

1860
01:49:32.439 --> 01:49:34.720
all you get is from what you see in the

1861
01:49:35.000 --> 01:49:37.920
occasional passage through the camera. But I think Charles lives

1862
01:49:38.000 --> 01:49:42.359
with I think it's a moose, two mountain lions, and

1863
01:49:42.840 --> 01:49:48.680
a baboon. I'm pretty sure, right, all combined in a

1864
01:49:48.760 --> 01:49:53.479
one cat. Occasionally it just you know, it morphs as

1865
01:49:53.520 --> 01:49:56.800
it plexus to different identities and you see a cat

1866
01:49:57.760 --> 01:50:00.159
spring past the camera, so you never know what's on on.

1867
01:50:00.720 --> 01:50:05.000
So it's gonna get fed eventually. And Eric, my friend,

1868
01:50:06.079 --> 01:50:08.119
you feel calmer then at the start of the episode

1869
01:50:08.159 --> 01:50:09.039
when you, oh, man.

1870
01:50:09.039 --> 01:50:12.239
This this just really this podcasts my mood around. Man,

1871
01:50:12.279 --> 01:50:13.960
it doesn't matter how I show up. By the end

1872
01:50:13.960 --> 01:50:15.600
of this thing, I'm just in a great moods. So

1873
01:50:15.680 --> 01:50:16.239
thank you guys.

1874
01:50:16.479 --> 01:50:18.720
Yeah, we had fun. We had fun, and uh, you know,

1875
01:50:18.880 --> 01:50:22.199
Uncle Tim will be back with us next Sunday and

1876
01:50:22.319 --> 01:50:25.199
next week and next week shameless plug, we'd be talking.

1877
01:50:25.439 --> 01:50:28.560
Uh start for comics. We go back comic Corner in

1878
01:50:28.680 --> 01:50:30.920
quite a while, and the recent arrival of a section

1879
01:50:31.039 --> 01:50:36.960
thirty one comic companion with told stories of how Emperor

1880
01:50:37.039 --> 01:50:40.720
Georgious ended up being a barfly will be revealed in

1881
01:50:40.760 --> 01:50:42.880
the pages of said comics, So we'll find out all

1882
01:50:42.920 --> 01:50:45.640
about that and more when we return to Comic Corner

1883
01:50:45.720 --> 01:50:48.239
next week, and and I think it's gonna be a

1884
01:50:48.239 --> 01:50:50.560
lot of toy talking going on for the next couple

1885
01:50:50.600 --> 01:50:54.039
of weeks. This is back, and hopefully we have a

1886
01:50:54.560 --> 01:50:57.239
strange New World air date soon. So let's get out

1887
01:50:57.239 --> 01:51:00.119
of here, friends, And to quote the immortal words of

1888
01:51:00.560 --> 01:51:05.760
Klingon Tamer Uncle Jim Star Trek fans are the best fans,

1889
01:51:06.439 --> 01:51:11.279
So have a great night, everybody, and wherever you are,

1890
01:51:11.600 --> 01:51:17.479
live long and prosper long and prosper all stations. I'm

1891
01:51:17.520 --> 01:51:18.600
ready for departure, sir.

1892
01:51:22.239 --> 01:51:25.159
Some problem, right, I'm just hoping this isn't the usual

1893
01:51:25.199 --> 01:51:27.800
way our missions will go, so oh no, number what,

1894
01:51:29.039 --> 01:51:31.000
I'm sure most will be much more interesting.

1895
01:51:35.039 --> 01:51:36.279
Let's see what's on there.

1896
01:51:38.680 --> 01:51:39.159
Engage
