How you doing tonight?

40
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:18.360
I am doing great. It is Friday's eve. I needed

41
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.240
a little bright spot. I was actually looking for this

42
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.360
podcast all week just because I was like, okay, I

43
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.560
just make it to Thursday night. We got the podcast.

44
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.879
That'll be fun hang out with some people will talk

45
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.120
about some star trek. So here we are. We did it,

46
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.039
we made.

47
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.479
We made it. We made it. And we also have

48
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.800
with Charles Is, but he is Las Vegas. How you doing?

49
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.719
I'm doing all right. I think the city is getting

50
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:50.879
pushed a half a centimeter south today with the wind.

51
00:03:52.800 --> 00:04:00.719
So are you saying that it's windy in Vegas.

52
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:03.120
Winning enough to knock power out to some places?

53
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:09.280
That's that's windy. That is windy. It's unseasonably warm up here.

54
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.479
It's forty six. In Vermont, it's melting all the snow

55
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:17.720
and wreaking havoc with everything. It's crazy. And we also

56
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.800
our very own miracle worker David, who believe it or not,

57
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.360
is in Portland as well. How are you doing, David?

58
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:33.079
Oh we're live fine. Yeah, guys, I'm doing great. I'm

59
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.920
so glad that we've moved on to the next year.

60
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.399
And if I get carried away by natch, don't blame me.

61
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.879
We are having such a weird nap problem right now.

62
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.439
But yeah, it's really one for the season.

63
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.839
You are needing that that moldy cheese again?

64
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:50.079
Oh?

65
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.720
Probably did you?

66
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.920
Did you say gnats, as in the tiny insect.

67
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.439
Oh, yeah, they're very nats. Gross.

68
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.079
Yeah, it's all those tangerines that he stuffed under his mattress.

69
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:07.720
I don't even know what that means.

70
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:16.800

the hell is that? Well, go and look her up

83
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.439
on theline. Do a little bit of research yourself. She's

84
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.240
a very fascinating lady. She's the chair of the Space

85
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:07.519
History Department of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.

86
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.639
She personally oversaw the restoration of the Original Enterprise, which

87
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.000
is currently set up lights up every hour on the hour,

88
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.199
and she's written a couple of great books. You guys

89
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.600
can check those out and have some questions ready for her.

90
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.000
She'll be with us here next week, so that's going

91
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.000
to be a lot of fun. This week, though, we're

92
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.680
going to be talking about Lower Decks issue eight and

93
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.079
nine because Comic Corner is back. It's been a while

94
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.480
and that made some perfect sense to jump back in,

95
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.879
So this is going to be Comic Corner starts for

96
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.600

114
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.000
on around the Star Trek universe. I guess who's coming

115
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:53.959
to strange new worlds I wonder, And no new Star

116
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:58.759
Trek figures yet and we'll get into that. So that,

117
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.399

118
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.360

Washington State, USA, and then last but not least, Sean

163
00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:01.080
mad Hatter Stewart from Eastern Canada shout out to you

164
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.519
and thank you all for being fans. All right, I

165
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.120
am going to send this off to Charles.

166
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.759
Well, thank you. The let's start off the warm Welcome

167
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:22.200
to Matthew Barkley from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Welcome Matthew. Welcome Anthony Ramirez,

168
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.799
who gives us a live, long and prosperous symbol, and

169
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:30.559
greeting is from Seattle, Washington. Greeting is Anthony. I'll probably

170
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.720
be back in your neck of the woods sometime on

171
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:37.960
Labor Day. Love my visit to Seattle. Then, Welcome to

172
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:47.320
Brenda Stones from Missouri. Welcome Floyd. Anthony Claxton from Tennessee. Welcome.

173
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.240
I think Paul wants to spend that globe again.

174
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:57.440
I do. I sort of feel strange deep need to

175
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.240
leave the United States currently. I'm not sure why. So

176
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.759
I'm going to pay homage to other countries in this segment,

177
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.799
and let's start off with our good friend top fan

178
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:12.960
Mario Vargas from the idyllic land of Costa Rica. Poor Avida,

179
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.440
my friend, Poor Avida. It is an amazing place that

180
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.919
you live. I'm fortunate enough to have been there myself

181
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:24.480
and not mind going back anytime. It's a lovely place,

182
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.000
full of wildlife and amazing things. A little further away

183
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:29.440
back in the continent, we're going to go over and

184
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:33.960
say hello to Andreas Reich in Denmark. Denmark, you got

185
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:39.559
lots going on with Denmark these days, andres various remote

186
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.480
land masses seem to be garnering a lot of attention.

187
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.240
So sending you a lot of strength and fortitude for

188
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.360
the uncertain hilarity that is coming your way. All right,

189
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:59.480
and then there, don't buckle over in my home turf Yorkshire, UK,

190
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.679
John Wilson saying hello to us. Good to hear from me, John,

191
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:04.360
I hope things are going well there in the UK.

192
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.559
Any chance you guys are considering rejoining the EU. I've

193
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:15.840
heard rumblings that is the smolling maybe bring the Euro

194
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:16.960
back into favor.

195
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.879
I think that there could be something to keep an

196
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.399
eye on that, John, So look, give your thoughts Chiming baby.

197
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:25.919
And then back to Bonnie Scotland again. It's Ronnie Beaton

198
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.960
saying hello. So see, you've got folks all over the place,

199
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:35.919
South America, Europe, whatever part of the globe that our

200
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:41.399
evil overlord's covet gaining overship ownership up, We've pretty much

201
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.000
got fans there. That's how I would describe it, wouldn't

202
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:44.919
you agree, Uncle Jim?

203
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.039
Absolutely I would agree. And we're gonna bring it back

204
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.759

00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.840

And we have David Lee West who's listening to us

211

00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.840
I want to say hello and thank you to Bob Moon,

213
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.240

And now it's time for Star Trek polls. A brief Paul, anyways.

221
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.799
You know me like no when what you thought about

222
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.320
the show?

223
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:08.720
When we try to share your opinions with all of

224
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:10.720
our minions out there.

225
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:16.639
Because they listen worldwide. So tell us just what you think.

226
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:23.440
Get together. We will all drink canar and robulin ale ton.

227
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:32.679
All right, so Eric, we have one quick pull and

228
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.159
you want to want to dig right in?

229
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.159
Yeah, sure, I mean exactly one week from tonight, just

230
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:45.159
about this time, well maybe a little sooner, I will

231
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:49.360
be on this podcast, but immediately afterward, I personally will

232
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.559
be headed to the television because on one fifteen, twenty

233
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:58.120
twenty six, we've got our double episode premiere of Starfleet Academy.

234
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:01.600
That's right, new star Trek, brand new star Trek right here,

235
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:05.080
next week, seven days away. And the question was will

236
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.159
you be watching the double episode premiere of Starfleet Academy

237
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.720
next week? And eighty four percent of our responders said yes,

238
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:17.000
I will be watching that double episode premiere. Sixteen percent, unfortunately,

239
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.799
did say that they will not be watching the premiere,

240
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.039
which in my mind takes away their right to complain

241
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:25.480
about it. So there you go.

242
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:27.759
I agree.

243
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:30.360
Only it were that simple.

244
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:36.960
Yes, I know, so wrong, David, you're ready to roll

245
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:43.759
the tape. Well it's not really a tape, but actually okay, yeah, you're.

246
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.320
Talking about trailer.

247
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:50.960
He's a miracle worker. Allright, here we go, there we go.

248
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:53.480
At Starfleet Academy.

249
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:57.639
You will learn the skills that shaped our greatest officers,

250
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.320
officers who went on to become legendary.

251
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.359
A few courageous people began to realize they can make

252
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:06.920
a difference.

253
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.599
To conquer you with weapons, but to coexist and learn

254
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.480
the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

255
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.000
Risk is our business.

256
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:19.640
That's what the Starship is all about.

257
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.599
The true testable warrior is not without, it is within.

258
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.240
Then life we can only look forward. We have to

259
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.720
be torch bearers.

260
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.440
We have no idea of the dangers we're going to face, but.

261
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.319
I'm here to remind you of the.

262
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:43.400
Power of possibility. The past is written, the future is

263
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:44.240
left for.

264
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:45.279
Us to write.

265
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.720
Whatever challenges came before today led you to this woman,

266
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.359
and now you decide if they define you.

267
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:05.519
Hm his Friends is the final first Starfleet Academy, which

268
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.880
is next week believe it or not, the same Bat time,

269
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:13.359
same BAT channel. And I got to say that trailer, Yeah,

270
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:19.720
they pulled out all the stocks on that. Yeah.

271
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:25.519
I well, you know, I mean that it's a really

272
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.279
smart trailer in my mind, because one of the things

273
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.160
that they did when Discovery came out was they almost

274
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.599
were proud of the the fact that it was kind

275
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:34.279
of a separate thing, and I think that that actually

276
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:36.519
worked against a lot of people warming up to it

277
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:39.480
at the beginning, despite the many of us who did

278
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.880
like it right from the start. And here you've used

279
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.960
the nostalgia of all of these other characters that we

280
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.359
know and love from previous Star Trek series and their

281
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:50.720
voices in the trailer, and it automatically just kind of

282
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.039
makes us go, oh, this is great. This is Star Trek,

283
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:55.319
this is exactly Star Trek. So I think it's brilliant.

284
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.799
Absolutely, I'm looking forward to it for sure. All Right,

285
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.640
so are you guys ready for some trivia with Uncle Jim? Okay,

286
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:09.319
gonna be fun.

287
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:14.039
And you know what that music means. It's once again

288
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.480
time to put on your thinking caps and join us

289
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:21.279
for Star Trek trivia time with Uncle Jim.

290
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.559
All Right, you guys already, I think you're gonna have

291
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:27.400
some fun. I really think you're gonna enjoy this one.

292
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:31.880
And again I tried to pick shows for each person

293
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:34.759
that I'm pretty sure you're gonna know. I'm not trying

294
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:36.599
to go out of the way that I'm trying to

295
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.680
just have some fun here. So Charles gets the first one.

296
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:42.400
Are you ready, Charles?

297
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:46.640
No, but you can fire anyway.

298
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:48.359
All right.

299
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:52.359
Ahead, here we go.

300
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.400
This series premiered in nineteen ninety seven and ran for

301
00:19:57.519 --> 00:21:00.759
ten seasons, based on a Russell Yeah, all right, Charles,

302
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:01.880
the pressure.

303
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:05.319
Is on, and I think the rest of the crew

304
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:07.480
knows it. And I wasn't keeping up with a lot

305
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.599
of television that time because of college.

306
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:19.599
It's a.

307
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:28.160
Oh yeah, well, yes, the star Yeah, Stargate SG one,

308
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:30.559
which I hadn't.

309
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.960
Yeah, I've got the DVDs over there, and I've got

310
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.440
the uh, the shirt with the emblems on it in

311
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:41.000
my closet, and I got a.

312
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.519
I was like that theme song because to me it

313
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.640
has a real kind of like militaristic sort of feel

314
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.279
to it, which I think fits with Stargate really well.

315
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.839
I like it, and I love Gosh, Richard Dean Anderson.

316
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.799
I had such I've had such a huge crush on

317
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.880
him watching that was during the pandemic when I disc

318
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.000
ever did and oh my god, he's so hot and

319
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.359
so funny, funny as heck, and it's always you know

320
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:12.200
the thing, you know, it's O'Neil with two l's and

321
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:16.000
holds up three fingers so because that's the joke distinguishing

322
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:19.319
him from Kurt Russell's O'Neill, who had just one l

323
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:21.359
So there you go.

324
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:24.640
You know, I loved the original movie, but I thought

325
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:28.039
the series was much better. It went in a much

326
00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:28.720
different direction.

327
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:29.519
And I love.

328
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:31.279
Me too.

329
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:35.200
You know what, You're the next one on the hot seat, right,

330
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:40.200
and so you're you're one for one, and I guarantee

331
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.799
that you're going to be two for two. I guarantee it. Okay,

332
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.279
but I guaranteed that last time with David with the Queens,

333
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:53.759
and I don't know. It's oh yeah, okay, we go.

334
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:58.720
This animated series premiated in twenty twenty and ran for

335
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:00.000
five seasons.

336
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.279
Oh I know, I know what it is.

337
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:12.319
H m hm.

338
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:20.759
Stack tack that.

339
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:22.960
Mm hmmm.

340
00:23:24.759 --> 00:24:06.759
Mm hm hm hm it doesn't it?

341
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.519
Okay, no looking, no looking at Eric. Sure, so cover up, Eric.

342
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:14.759
Now, I knew exactly as soon as you said, uh man,

343
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:19.200
that is a damn fine theme song. That is just great,

344
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:22.720
and they changed it slightly every season with the animation.

345
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:27.319
That is, of course star Trek lower decks and I

346
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:31.200
am lower decked out.

347
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:43.200
Yes, all is my retrod. Oh so when I when

348
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:46.480
I want a deep dive. We deep dive with.

349
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:50.680
My regulator on. I'm ready to sumerge.

350
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.720
Like Paul is usually right there with me. So we're

351
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:56.720
going to do a deep dive.

352
00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:57.480
Okay.

353
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:02.839
This series ran for one season in nineteen seventy five

354
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:06.759
and led to an animated series, which also ran for

355
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:13.119
one season, based on a popular series of five movies.

356
00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:29.480
Are you ready?

357
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.440
You can cut?

358
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:33.119
You can cut.

359
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.119
I don't need to hear the whole things, Unfortunately I can't.

360
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.519
Oh dear, we're gonna play the entire theme song our way.

361
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:42.559
I like more of a name that tune thing where

362
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:44.960
you got like fifteen seconds and then you have right,

363
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:46.559
it's like, you know, we can keep.

364
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:55.920
Up on home. Let's say.

365
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.240
Steek's doing Oh my.

366
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:11.799
God, So were there like opening credits over this theme song?

367
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:12.000
Then?

368
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:16.519
Oh yeah, absolutely, very much. Trying to evoke the legacy

369
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:18.680
of the movies, right, with a lot of similar kind

370
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.319
of but they cast two guys who are very much

371
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.799
like Starsky and Hutch though right they looked like I did.

372
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:28.480
It was like Starsky and Hutch and the Planet of

373
00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:30.799
the Apes really is what is what the show was like.

374
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.720
But it's really good, I have to say, right and

375
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:36.519
the Evil were. Of course, to clarify now that the

376
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:39.160
song is over, we're talking about the short lived but

377
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.000
really good I planned the Ape Stev series. It was

378
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.759
like Friday Nights, right, and they had Mark Leonard right

379
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.160
as the evil Gorilla General General Erco. I believe it

380
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:51.920
was mistaken and he was great. He was very to hear.

381
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:54.160
You know, Mark Leonard doing chewing the scenery is a

382
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:56.799
bad guy. They didn't get much better than right, and

383
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:01.400
he was like, I will put them in his their

384
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.799
brains out and it was great. So really fun. Yes,

385
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.960
Friends available on DVD and I'm not sure about Blu ray,

386
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:10.640
but I know it's available on so check it out,

387
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:13.039
go to YouTube, whatever. But Planet of the Apes good stuff.

388
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:18.519
Vintage of the original play the Plane of the Apes

389
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:25.880
on the show. To Running McDowell, didn't you played Galen. Yeah,

390
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:27.920
it's like it's very like it's a different name. You

391
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:29.319
played a character in Galen.

392
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.279
But it was exactly like you know, Cordelia's right, It

393
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:35.279
was basically he's still doing the same thing. But but

394
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:38.240
it's just great because you know, phenomenal guy and nobody

395
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:40.880
does better under the makeup than Running McDowell. So it's

396
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:42.799
really funny. If you've never watched an episode, go check

397
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:47.920
it out. It's it is very starsky Hutch. They got

398
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:50.160
everything with the red Ford to Reno right, but.

399
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:58.359
That would have been a hilarious I'm dim, dim cloudy

400
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:00.400
memories of a man zine.

401
00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:03.200
I think they combined the two because.

402
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:07.799
Yeah, I think I vaguely remember that, you know the

403
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:09.559
because I loved Mad Magazine?

404
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.359
Is it surprising that I read a lot of Mad Magazine?

405
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:15.119
Does this shock he does not.

406
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.119
Want when they had the star Trek?

407
00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:23.400
I think is at the end of the credits. One

408
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:25.920
of the most memorable scenes in Planet of the Apes

409
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.599
is where Erco is on the horse and the sun

410
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.319
is setting behind him in all orange and he holds

411
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:38.960
the rifle up over that. I couldn't be more It's.

412
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:42.880
A great show, really really cool, and it's making me

413
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.079
think of another TV series. I wonder if we're going

414
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.519
to give me getting to later on in this segment,

415
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:50.680
so I'm waiting to see. We shall find out.

416
00:28:52.440 --> 00:29:00.279
I got one from Eric uh oh. This mainteen Glen

417
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:06.400
Morgan and James Wong series lasted for only one season.

418
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:08.000
A boy, all right.

419
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:21.359
Yeah, I think.

420
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:22.000
There'd be more good.

421
00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:27.759
Very militaristic. That's ahia.

422
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:41.039
Yeah, speaking of militaristic man that that snare drum never

423
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.839
stops throughout that whole theme. I'm pretty sure that that

424
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:47.160
is space above and beyond.

425
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:54.079
Right, that's right, yeah, yeah, so coold show.

426
00:29:54.200 --> 00:30:01.119
Yeah, and I knew well the there thank you.

427
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:12.279
That's great, all right, David David David David David. So,

428
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:18.400
I okay, this is holdy, but it's definitely a goodie.

429
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:27.160
Okay. This nineteen ninety three Steven Spielberg series ran for

430
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:31.000
three seasons and starred Roy Scheider.

431
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:59.920
Mhmm, the talking dolphin. William Shatner showed up. I didn't happen,

432
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:06.440
queen did this the Queen?

433
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.640
Okay, it's just a Is it based on sci fi?

434
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:24.720
Or is it more of a fantasist.

435
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:29.160
Very very deep, deep deep show, because for some.

436
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:31.519
Odd reason it reminds me of Robin Hood, like one

437
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:37.000
of the old TV shows. But I actually have no idea.

438
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.240
We'll give you a hint. We often talk about it

439
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.680
being a space show not set in space.

440
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:52.240
Starring Roy Scheider of Jaws fame.

441
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.960
He said we're gonna need a bigger boat and he

442
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:56.839
got it.

443
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:06.799
That was that's great. No, no, no, said he needed

444
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:08.680
a bigger boat, and then he got lot in this.

445
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:11.319
Series, got a much bigger boat.

446
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:13.160
Yeah, it's all streamlined.

447
00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:15.599
Yeah, kind of.

448
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:19.759
Rhymes with cheap quest DVC.

449
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:29.839
I'm completely okay.

450
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:31.480
Video.

451
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:34.920
Yeah that was that was you got some you got some.

452
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.599
Watching to do, so it was great.

453
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:39.960
I don't know what it is.

454
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:41.920
I've forgotten that was on for three seeds.

455
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.920
Yeah, so David, it's it's sequest DSV and if you

456
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:49.000
have never seen it, you should check it out because

457
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:51.400
it's a pretty darn cool series. And it's not it's

458
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:54.599
only three seasons. It is the twenty whatever three episodes

459
00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:57.160
per season, twenty four episodes per but you know it's not.

460
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.839
And despite the constant stream of vanity coming out of

461
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:02.160
my mouth, I do like to make sure I say

462
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:05.839
a few educational things occasionally in every broadcast. And DSV

463
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:10.599
stands for a deep Submergence vehicle, so just so you

464
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:13.359
know what the DSV stands for. Otherwise it's like, oh,

465
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:16.839
pointless acronym, and you know my line of work, we're

466
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:20.640
always explaining what the acronyms mean. So there's no computer And.

467
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:23.559
Robert from the Woods Institute would come on and give

468
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:26.960
a scientific explanation of each episodes every week, which we

469
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:36.359
always fascinating. No area, so good. Who are you ready comedian?

470
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:38.519
Okay, yes again.

471
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:45.480
That was Sequest was like the newest show I could

472
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:48.119
come up with on my list because I figured David

473
00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:52.920
would remember from eighty three, but all right, he definitely

474
00:33:52.960 --> 00:34:01.680
won't get the next one. This yeah Collin.

475
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:10.199
Series ran for three seasons and and spawn a motion

476
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:15.880
picture and a second series which aired on Nextflix.

477
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.880
Oh hell yeah, I was like, I wasn't sure that.

478
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:33.559
I was like, okay, yeah, I got it. Oh yeah, yeah,

479
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:34.159
there we go.

480
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:37.400
Awesome, so cool.

481
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:44.800
Oh my gosh. I loved you having choice from you to.

482
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:46.920
Wow.

483
00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:49.000
Do you know that one?

484
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:49.440
Believe it?

485
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:51.960
I saw that?

486
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:55.920
Ye visual.

487
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:18.360
Okay, okay, I think we're talking about Landa the Giants,

488
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:26.800
right absolutely, yeah, No, we're talking about Lost in Space.

489
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:31.599
Sorry, I have to reach out and just go.

490
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:36.159
Always so kissed at me. It was really funny.

491
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:39.480
Excusing excusing there for a minute.

492
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.119
No, I actually Lost in Space was another one of

493
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:47.840
those like after school shows that was in syndication in

494
00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:51.760
the early eighties. So I saw fair number episodes.

495
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.360
I watched it when it was originally on so way

496
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:56.920
to go making me feel ancient.

497
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:01.119
Yeah, and then they when they went to color because

498
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:03.039
the first season was black and white, right, And then

499
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:05.400
when they went to color season too, they changed the

500
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:08.440
theme song. It's actually really I like the season two

501
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:10.880
theme song maybe even better. Yeah, it was very exciting,

502
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:14.280
you know, and this is crazy stuff. But the Carrot

503
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.119
men everywhere we salute.

504
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:20.679
You, you know, the actually the Kay Penny on that

505
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:25.719
show into What. Yeah. So I wasn't at a spare

506
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:27.800
checker mentioned out in Las Vegas, and I was in

507
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.639
charge of the green room anybody in mind, And they

508
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.840
had the entire TG cast there, And this is back

509
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:36.320
when the Sci Fi Channel was actually doing sci fi

510
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:38.360
and they had a film crew there that was filming,

511
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:42.000
and uh, the car walks in. It's is on the

512
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:45.280
table me and my buddy and said what do you

513
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:47.360
guys think about loss of face? And I looked right

514
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:57.039
at her and I said that ghost he said, here

515
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:01.360
and the entire TG crew, why are they wasting time

516
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:09.320
with Lost in Space? Oh? Deepault over? She goes over.

517
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.320
They put up the big thing behind her with Lost

518
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:14.440
his Space And I'm like, oh my god, I just

519
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:17.840
a woman from Loss of Space at her shows Oh my,

520
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.239
I slunk out the back of ards and that was it.

521
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:24.360
Yeah, my word.

522
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:30.079
I had no idea. Honestly, your show sucked.

523
00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:35.920
Oh man, oh I would like.

524
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.440
I would not recommend a career in Hollywood for you, Jim.

525
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:43.400
I would perhaps maybe I don't know, something like accounting.

526
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:44.320
Perhaps I don't know.

527
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.519
Pantic store that sat down at the table. I had

528
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:52.760
to be here anyway while I was at the Star

529
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:56.199
Trek recommend put the pressure on you.

530
00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:58.239
Okay, all right.

531
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:03.480
This nineteen seventy Glenn Larson series ran for two seasons,

532
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.840
although I would be challenged to call a second season

533
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:11.239
us I have. Anyways, there we go.

534
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:17.679
There are those who believe that life here again, out

535
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:23.800
there far across the universe, with tribes.

536
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:26.320
Of humans who may have been.

537
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:32.960
The forefathers of the or the Taltics or the Mayans.

538
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:36.639
Some believe that there may yet be brothers a man

539
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:43.960
who even because of our somewhere beyond the heavens.

540
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:50.360
David knows this one.

541
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.880
Sure, Wait, I know I know the music.

542
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:01.880
Yeah. Lauren Green did his Yeah yeah.

543
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:08.159
Battle Star Galactica. Yeah yeah, because I met I met Richard.

544
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:13.719
I met Richard Hatch way back in eighty four.

545
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:22.800
Yeah, this is the little Richards original, very very first

546
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:32.440
after I ever interviewed on this podcast, he was did absolute.

547
00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:37.599
I was sad when he did, Yeah, now this is good.

548
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.880
This is the original things nineteen eighty.

549
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:46.199
Yeah, we don't.

550
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.840
We don't often acknowledge about BS eighty.

551
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:56.320
There is one episode of the second season that I

552
00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:59.760
highly recommended, the only episode and that has to return.

553
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:04.920
If you haven't seen that, you got to watch that one.

554
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:09.280
Start going yeah.

555
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:13.000
Because I asked Richard Hatch because it was him and

556
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:17.960
Walter Kanig that were at this very early, very small

557
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:22.800
uh con and I just came up just, you know,

558
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:25.960
weird question. I said, so working with Lorne Green, you know,

559
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:29.159
how was that? And did he ever talk about the

560
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:32.239
Alpo dog food? Because he, for me he was he

561
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:36.559
was having the Alpo commercials where he was selling dog food,

562
00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:39.559
and Richard just went on said, yeah, he wouldn't shut

563
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:42.000
up about it. In fact, he even ate the stuff.

564
00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:45.320
I'll never forget that nice not he didn't really, it

565
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:49.199
was just joking, but yeah, that was funny.

566
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:57.360
Yep, he was so much fun ch We're gonna we're

567
00:40:57.360 --> 00:41:01.039
gonna put the spotlight on you, buddy.

568
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:03.079
I like to have had the last one.

569
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:07.360
No, you're you're, you're, You're gonna get this. And let

570
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:09.920
me tell you what. If you don't get this one,

571
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.400
I'm gonna put the pressure on you. So if you

572
00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:17.280
don't get this one, you're off the podcast.

573
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:22.840
Dang, watching your.

574
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:30.880
Quessure is annual for this question. Okay, jeez, this one.

575
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:31.679
God.

576
00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:36.639
So here we go the contract very carefully.

577
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:39.280
Just you guys have a contract.

578
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:44.840
Oh yeah, you don't. I apologize because I couldn't tell

579
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:48.719
you what theme this is, so I'm not even going

580
00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:50.920
to attempt it. I'm sure I got the wrong one,

581
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:56.039
but you're okay. This series premiered in nineteen sixty three

582
00:41:56.880 --> 00:42:02.519
and has run for twenty six consecutive seasons. I couldn't

583
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:06.840
tell you what season, but if I'm telling you, if

584
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:10.960
you don't get it, your camera's going black and you're getting.

585
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:12.840
I don't even think you need to play the music

586
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:15.880
I want to hear with me.

587
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:28.400
I don't know which one is. I know it's not.

588
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:38.760
This isn't the this is tenant. I think this is tennant. Yeah,

589
00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:39.760
I'm pretty sure I appreciate.

590
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:41.039
Yeah, I think it's a tenant.

591
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:47.119
Yeah it's not. It's not the Lady doctor that one.

592
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:50.679
Sounds like the original one to me.

593
00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:54.079
So so, Charles, are we are we gonna be a

594
00:42:54.119 --> 00:43:01.719
black camera or do you know this? Oh?

595
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:07.559
I think this was right around the two thousand six

596
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:20.039
seven eight season when we got to see Rose and

597
00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:21.280
the Master.

598
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:23.519
And David.

599
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:28.280
Oh, what are great seasons of Doctor Who?

600
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.199
Mm hm Doctor Who? See. I knew you were going

601
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:33.719
to I knew you would know that one.

602
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:34.480
Oh.

603
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:36.039
I had to sit down and think. I was like, Okay,

604
00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:42.920
which theme? Which which one of the uh show themes?

605
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:43.480
Is that one?

606
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:46.199
It's like, yeah, I agree with I agree with Eric.

607
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:50.559
I'm pretty sure this was tenants yees.

608
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:53.960
The like general theme is the same among all the doctors,

609
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:56.280
but then when you listen to the theme songs, they

610
00:43:56.360 --> 00:44:00.239
changed little things like the exact way they make the sound,

611
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:03.760
but that that melody has been around forever, but it's

612
00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:05.559
just like it sounds a little bit different than every

613
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:06.119
new doctor.

614
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:09.400
Yeah. I just went to YouTube and typed in Doctor

615
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:11.159
Who theme and that popped up and there it was.

616
00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:16.119
I have no idea what it is, but it is. David,

617
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:22.760
You're get a chance to redeem yourself, buddy man, no

618
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:28.079
plush on you and this one other than we've heard

619
00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:31.719
it before, we talked about it before, you put the

620
00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:35.719
video together for it before, so maybe maybe some of

621
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:36.599
that will sink in.

622
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:37.519
Uh.

623
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:42.800
This nineteen seventy five Jerry Anderson series ran for two

624
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:48.519
seasons British Television. Are you ready? And this is the

625
00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:49.480
season one theme?

626
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:52.119
Well, I'm gonna have to get my donuts?

627
00:44:58.760 --> 00:44:59.159
You know what?

628
00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:06.119
Well when I was.

629
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:10.519
Like Hope hearing out getting out.

630
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:18.000
Yep, h Space nineteen ninety nine, I knew him.

631
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:23.079
Would all aids.

632
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:23.800
That's awesome.

633
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:29.519
Yeah, so much better than the season two themes.

634
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:29.800
I know.

635
00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:39.280
I was hoping that he would have, because if I did,

636
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:40.079
I would.

637
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:51.760
More dance party. You ready imagine things blowing up, moving

638
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:53.599
very fast. That seems.

639
00:45:56.960 --> 00:45:58.239
A lot of si.

640
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:03.159
Anderson loves bottom pants and Martin Landau just glaring at

641
00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:03.920
you here.

642
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:10.920
And crazy a show man?

643
00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:16.679
Let's show? What a show? Indeed? So Paul, you get

644
00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:21.559
the last one? Buddy, okay, man, why can't I find

645
00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:25.800
my notes where they are? Okay? This is an Irwin

646
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:29.519
Allen show. I don't have any information on it because

647
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:32.039
I'm going to put the pressure on it. That's okay,

648
00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:36.360
all good, and here we go. I think it's anyways,

649
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:37.119
join Allen.

650
00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:45.000
The Land of the Giants friends. I am lucky. In

651
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:48.719
my collection, I have a Land of the Giants metal lunchbox,

652
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:54.559
thank you very much. The mis Intact. So yeah, great stuff, hilarious.

653
00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:56.719
But they just did the craziest things on the show.

654
00:47:56.840 --> 00:47:59.840
I mean it was just you know, the ridiculous you know,

655
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:03.920
a spool of thread the size of like a bus, right,

656
00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:06.320
they would do stuff like that because you know, everybody's

657
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:09.480
been shrunk down. They're like tiny, little two inch people.

658
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:13.559
It's it's like very much like the old Richard Matheson

659
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:16.920
picture right, the incredible Shrinking Man. And so it was

660
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:19.000
just basically they took that idea and just riffed it

661
00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:22.639
off into a TV show, but really really fun. I mean,

662
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:26.159
you know you can still watch it in enjoyable Asack

663
00:48:26.280 --> 00:48:28.280
Irwin Allen knew how to enter game people man he

664
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:29.519
was he was a shellman.

665
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:31.599
That was fun.

666
00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:34.280
I love the trivia segment. It is like my favorite

667
00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:34.800
part of the show.

668
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:36.599
The audio was a nice like.

669
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:42.599
The name that tune version of Uncle Jim's Trivia.

670
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:44.559
More.

671
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:49.840
I got the idea after the old Gerard passed and

672
00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:52.880
we played the buck graduals, and I thought, well, there's

673
00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:57.519
a lot more the songs out there. Let's have some

674
00:48:57.559 --> 00:48:58.000
fun with it.

675
00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:00.159
Yeah, I mean you can play this every week for

676
00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:02.199
months and never write the songs.

677
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:06.559
Well, I wanted to give it a shot, so we

678
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:10.960
epic man, good call. I think it was fun. So

679
00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:13.440
that brought us up the survey with Uncle Jim. And

680
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:17.119
now we're going to move into a corner talk about

681
00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:20.519
Lower Decks eight and nine. And for that we're going

682
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:23.320
to turn to Paul give us a quick a quick

683
00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:27.000
run down, and uh, then we'll dig right in and

684
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:28.519
talk about the issue.

685
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:32.519
Okay, friends, comic time, and some of us still prefer

686
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:36.280
the tangible magic of the go to your comic book shop,

687
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.360
uh paper comic. Right, And so we are talking about

688
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:43.719
issue number eight of the awesome Lower Decks series from

689
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:47.199
our good pals at I d W there. And this

690
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:51.679
particular book eight that we're talking about here concludes a

691
00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:55.840
two part flashback story that began in issue seven, where

692
00:49:55.880 --> 00:50:02.679
Captain Carol Freeman Captain el Freeman, as we know, Mariner's mom,

693
00:50:03.199 --> 00:50:05.920
recounts her time as in when she was an ensign

694
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:09.639
to her daughter Beckett Mariner. Right, So the story focuses

695
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:13.719
on Ensign Freeman. Then Ensign Freeman and Ensign Durango rising

696
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:17.960
to the challenge when their USS Illinois is in peril

697
00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:22.280
during a clash with the Romulans. Right, and so she's

698
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:26.320
basically trying to just convey bonding wise to her daughter.

699
00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:28.480
You know that. Yeah, you know, I too was once

700
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:31.239
and nobody screw up, and there's a lot of mother

701
00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:35.400
daughter bonding on the cerritos is like a framing deal, right.

702
00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:38.519
And so during a patrol along the Romulin neutros zone,

703
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:43.920
the Illinois is engaged by a Romulan warbird, right, and surprise, surprise,

704
00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:46.880
This is where my good friend Eric gets a little

705
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:49.880
excited because a lot of this whole comic is all

706
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:54.599
about doctor Catherine Pulaski. Right, Actually, I am a commander

707
00:50:54.679 --> 00:50:59.320
what And she takes over, right and becomes commander of

708
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:02.599
the ship, and the rest of the crews kind of

709
00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:05.960
disappeared because of some kind of unsanctioned transport experiment that's

710
00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:07.920
going on, Right, we don't really need to worry about that.

711
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:15.519
But because Freeman disagrees with Pulaski's tactics, Freeman takes responsibility

712
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:18.079
for rectifying the situation, and they decide to try to

713
00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:23.599
outwit the Rymulins by retrieving their missing crew members before

714
00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:26.639
they can be killed, either all at once or one

715
00:51:26.679 --> 00:51:30.880
by one or in by volume, whatever method of efficiency,

716
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:34.039
the Rhemulins decide to go for right, and then a

717
00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:38.880
little twister Rooney at the end there doctor Pulaski's revelation

718
00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:41.719
that her actions were deliberate and she was trying to

719
00:51:41.719 --> 00:51:45.559
manipulate the ends and solve problems themselves, to step up

720
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:49.760
and exhibit their potential for leadership. And then at the

721
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:52.320
very end there was a funny bit. I'm betting David

722
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:55.239
has an image of it right on the holodeck, and

723
00:51:56.159 --> 00:51:59.760
Carol's taking them on her version of a crazy Holodex

724
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:00.960
ski program.

725
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:06.360
Pumped through it in honor of Eric's favorite CMO, A

726
00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:13.480
giant crazy daredevil ski mountain that's shaped like doctor Pulaski's

727
00:52:13.920 --> 00:52:18.360
you know, magnificently quaft hair, which was never so magnificently

728
00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:21.360
quaft on the show, but boy, it sure was quafft

729
00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:22.599
in that last panel.

730
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:26.760
So a lot of good romulent stuff in here, pretty goofy.

731
00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:34.920
Definitely a good outing for doctor Pulaski fans, wouldn't you say? Yeah?

732
00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:37.440
I mean, it was nice to see her featured in

733
00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:41.280
the last couple of issues. You know, was she written

734
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:45.880
as doctor Pulaski would actually be written. I'm not so sure,

735
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:47.760
but I think it was okay, because you know, the

736
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:50.639
story is really all about the fun and ridiculousness of

737
00:52:50.679 --> 00:52:54.519
things that happened on the Serritos. So yeah, I absolutely

738
00:52:54.639 --> 00:52:58.119
love seeing her. She's kind of mysterious. And then that

739
00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:00.920
ending with like it was all just to dream. I mean,

740
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:05.079
I was just like testing you. You know, Okay, you.

741
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:09.400
Know she's pretty wacky. She is very wacky in terms

742
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:11.719
of she's depicted, right, she is.

743
00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:14.079
She's kinda she's kind of out there a little bit.

744
00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:17.599
I mean, she says things that Pulaski wouldn't necessarily say.

745
00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:21.280
But you know, this is Pulaski of the few. Well actually,

746
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:24.920
so technically speaking, if you remember that by the end

747
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:28.960
of this comic, we are reminded that this is actually

748
00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:34.440
Carol's recounting of what happened. So one potential out here

749
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:38.840
is that Carol remembers things, you know, slightly differently from

750
00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:42.639
how they actually occurred, and so maybe the Pulaski we're

751
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:46.280
seeing is the Pulaski that Carol Freeman sees when she

752
00:53:46.440 --> 00:53:49.519
looks at Pulaski, So I contend this is not the

753
00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:56.599
real Catherine Pulaski. Still like, generally I enjoyed this issue.

754
00:53:56.639 --> 00:54:00.719
Oh yeah, look at that he's got both Mariner and Freeman.

755
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:05.280
Generally I like this one. You know, the the ending

756
00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:08.000
scene where they're on Mount Pulaski is pretty cool.

757
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:09.159
Yeah.

758
00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:13.159
Overall, I don't know. I can't give it too much

759
00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:14.760
more than like a six or a six and a half.

760
00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:17.239
Maybe I'll give it a six and a half. Despite

761
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:19.880
the fact that I loved that Pulaski was part of this,

762
00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:22.599
it just kind of felt a little bit flat at

763
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:25.440
the end. But I'm really excited to talk about the

764
00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:27.880
next one. But anyway, that's enough about this one for me.

765
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:28.760
Somebody else, go.

766
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:31.360
You want to jump in?

767
00:54:31.599 --> 00:54:35.719
Sure? No, that was you missed the part about when

768
00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:39.760
they when they knock her out, when they stun her

769
00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:43.880
with a phaser, and then they're going to transport her

770
00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:46.639
into the brig and she would they would remove her

771
00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:50.960
clothings so she would be naked, but pretty much nobody

772
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:54.000
wanted to see that, So that was hope.

773
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:04.760
I think we lost the we lost to b Are

774
00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:05.280
you still.

775
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:08.679
Frozen?

776
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:09.440
Uh?

777
00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:13.239
There must be a Philter that if you said the

778
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:20.079
word naked, you know it. It's like.

779
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:26.159
We went for the v on freeze, Charles, do you

780
00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:27.400
wanna do you want to continue?

781
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:30.400
All right?

782
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:34.199
Well, okay, kind of catch on to what b was saying.

783
00:55:35.159 --> 00:55:37.079
They had they had they were trying to deal with

784
00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:40.280
how to transport her to the brig. Well why did

785
00:55:40.280 --> 00:55:44.360
they have trouble transporting her to the brig? Yeah, because

786
00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:49.639
she had a transporter inhibitor sony into her uniform so

787
00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:52.840
she can make sure nobody could transport her off the ship.

788
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:57.159
Would you like the facts, like, yeah, that sounds like

789
00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:02.519
something Pulaski might do. Definitely. Some of the things she

790
00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:06.599
didn't hear were a little questionable. Yeah, She's like, oh yeah,

791
00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:10.760
I'm gonna sit there. I want to convince the crew

792
00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:15.519
to kind of work on themselves. And by the way,

793
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:18.760
I think it's kind of funny the fact that when

794
00:56:18.800 --> 00:56:21.239
you think it's a transporter problem, and it's like, yeah,

795
00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:25.440
and it's a transport problem that Carol Friedman created herself

796
00:56:26.920 --> 00:56:33.239
trying to get out of something past Pulaski's uh inhibitor

797
00:56:33.239 --> 00:56:37.360
of trying to keep people from slacking off and going

798
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:43.400
out to the going out and had a little too

799
00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:54.360
much fun when they should be resting or working. Definitely.

800
00:56:54.360 --> 00:56:56.360
I love the fact that when they tried tricker into

801
00:56:56.440 --> 00:57:00.360
changing uniforms so she doesn't have the inhibit her on

802
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:04.719
her yet she gets to a point where she gets

803
00:57:04.760 --> 00:57:08.599
to it, gets to a transporter, and doesn't seem to

804
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:18.039
mind it. Interesting. I'm not sure about the Romulns would

805
00:57:18.119 --> 00:57:23.519
kind of fall for this kind of deal. I'm not

806
00:57:23.559 --> 00:57:27.000
sure how they end up capturing the crew in the

807
00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:31.920
first place. But here with Eric, the story is pretty good.

808
00:57:33.800 --> 00:57:37.440
Maybe about seven point five.

809
00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:42.320
Seven point five, all right, do you want to continue

810
00:57:42.360 --> 00:57:42.960
what your thoughts?

811
00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:43.239
Yes?

812
00:57:44.199 --> 00:57:48.800
Yeah, because Riverside just kicked me off. So what was

813
00:57:48.840 --> 00:57:51.280
the last thing you heard me say? Did I get

814
00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:55.440
to the part about when she said talking? Oh oh, oh,

815
00:57:55.519 --> 00:57:58.280
that's okay, So yeah, that was that was I don't know.

816
00:57:58.360 --> 00:58:01.000
That just cracked me up for some reason, and because

817
00:58:01.039 --> 00:58:04.599
apparently nobody wanted to see her naked. So but the

818
00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:09.079
things that a couple of things she says as and

819
00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:13.599
as John Luke Picard always says shit happens, which of

820
00:58:13.639 --> 00:58:18.280
course he never did. But that cracked me up, And

821
00:58:18.320 --> 00:58:21.159
then I was shoot, I didn't write down who said it?

822
00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:26.079
But it was just a great little nod to t os.

823
00:58:26.079 --> 00:58:29.400
But what in the name of Gary Mitchell did I do?

824
00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:31.079
That was great?

825
00:58:31.760 --> 00:58:36.440
And then at the very end, a very another something

826
00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:42.639
that Jean Luke Picard did say when shoot, I can't

827
00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:46.360
even read my own writing. But when when she says,

828
00:58:46.440 --> 00:58:49.960
when I think it's Freeman that says not I think

829
00:58:50.159 --> 00:58:53.960
today commander as they when he gets beamed out at

830
00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:59.679
the last minute. And I forget which episode that was,

831
00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:02.960
but those were the things that just stuck out at me,

832
00:59:03.199 --> 00:59:07.800
just those those little lines. But I mean, I thought

833
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:10.760
it was funny. I was not expecting because I was

834
00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:15.559
just expecting Pulaski to continue to be, you know, just

835
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:19.199
sort of nefarious, and then at the end it's like, surprise,

836
00:59:19.320 --> 00:59:21.679
I was just testing you because I'm not well. I

837
00:59:21.760 --> 00:59:24.039
like the part where she said I'm used to treating

838
00:59:24.079 --> 00:59:28.800
one person at a time, you know, not not watching

839
00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:34.159
over a whole ship. So yep. And I mean, let's

840
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:36.840
face it, having a mountain to ski down that looks

841
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:41.360
like your face, I mean that's just great. So I'll

842
00:59:41.360 --> 00:59:42.880
go with seven point five.

843
00:59:44.760 --> 00:59:48.079
All right, seven point David, what about you, buddy?

844
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:58.079
There's a face. But yeah, this episode I uh uh

845
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:04.000
a Book eight. I enjoyed. It was a continuation from

846
01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:09.239
the last Pulaski episode seven, Book seven. I think it

847
01:00:09.320 --> 01:00:12.000
is what we talked about a while ago last year,

848
01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:17.360
I think. But yeah, going back between the two in

849
01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:22.800
reading him in chronological order, it's interesting to go through

850
01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:27.599
and seeing how the different stories take place and the

851
01:00:27.679 --> 01:00:31.679
different what not happened, and then the ambulance show up,

852
01:00:31.719 --> 01:00:34.400
and I thought that was kind of fun. And so yeah,

853
01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:38.079
there's a lot of different Easter age for sure in

854
01:00:38.119 --> 01:00:44.159
this particular episode. Keep calling an episode book, magazine, whatever

855
01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:48.599
you want to call it, comics, there you go. I

856
01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:49.840
don't know why I had an issue with.

857
01:00:49.800 --> 01:00:50.280
That, but.

858
01:00:52.559 --> 01:01:02.719
Yes, so yeah, I really enjoyed it. This particular one

859
01:01:03.400 --> 01:01:07.119
was I'm trying to remember if that because I just

860
01:01:07.239 --> 01:01:09.519
read it today and I read the other one and

861
01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:14.559
I'm trying to remember what all went down, but funny

862
01:01:14.559 --> 01:01:16.719
parts and the parts that stuck out. I think you

863
01:01:16.760 --> 01:01:19.039
got pretty much covered a lot of the funny parts already,

864
01:01:19.079 --> 01:01:21.800
where it's just like the different types of things that

865
01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:27.280
were going on with the whole the uniform, and of

866
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:32.679
course I like the iteration with three men, the mom

867
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:37.840
and the daughter at the end there and how Mariner

868
01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:41.039
was like super worried about the mom because it looked

869
01:01:41.039 --> 01:01:43.159
like she was just like in a drug trant almost,

870
01:01:44.440 --> 01:01:49.119
And so I thought that was pretty funny. So but yeah, overall,

871
01:01:49.119 --> 01:01:52.280
I'd have to give this one a seven. Wasn't as

872
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:53.960
great as I thought it was gonna be, but I

873
01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:54.840
mean it was about there.

874
01:01:54.960 --> 01:02:00.880
So yeah, yeah, seven seven seven seven that is very respectable.

875
01:02:01.920 --> 01:02:05.480
So I enjoyed the story too. I think it would

876
01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:07.840
have been really funny if Plastic had made a reference

877
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:10.039
to it at all.

878
01:02:10.519 --> 01:02:12.199
But hard to write that.

879
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:17.519
The one thing I noticed about this issue is it

880
01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:21.599
didn't I don't know, I didn't have the little things

881
01:02:22.239 --> 01:02:23.880
written on the page.

882
01:02:24.599 --> 01:02:29.079
That's because that's because a while ago Ryan North uh

883
01:02:29.679 --> 01:02:33.519
No longer was the writer, and so since they changed writers.

884
01:02:34.679 --> 01:02:36.920
A in my opinion, the quality of the book has

885
01:02:36.920 --> 01:02:39.400
gone down overall just a little bit. And b just

886
01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:41.679
the format is different. You don't have those anymore.

887
01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:44.880
I mean the little footnotes that had a little Yeah, yeah,

888
01:02:44.920 --> 01:02:45.559
those were great.

889
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:48.840
I love Yeah, they were funny as hell, but.

890
01:02:48.880 --> 01:02:49.880
You still have bad.

891
01:02:51.519 --> 01:03:01.599
Yeah the beginning cool. So yeah, I enjoyed this one.

892
01:03:01.880 --> 01:03:03.880
Like I said, it didn't have a little the Little

893
01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:09.880
Gloves previous issues. I enjoyed it overall, So yeah, I'm

894
01:03:09.880 --> 01:03:13.639
gonna seven right there with David. I think a seven

895
01:03:14.920 --> 01:03:18.440
seven is is? Is you? Number eight? I give it

896
01:03:18.480 --> 01:03:22.880
a seven so overall, child with all the trucks sports

897
01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:23.960
having chimed in.

898
01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:32.639
But I didn't give it a six. It's okay, you

899
01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:36.639
know it didn't. Did I laugh hysterically a lot?

900
01:03:37.320 --> 01:03:38.280
You know it was.

901
01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:42.639
Okay, it didn't. Didn't so mean. But it's in a

902
01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:44.639
year maybe we started to be more generous. So I

903
01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:46.440
think I'll align myself with a seven.

904
01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:53.760
All right, seven from Paul, So Charles, what's the grand total?

905
01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:59.519
The overall from Oxperts on lower Decks issue number three.

906
01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:01.599
Okay, Paul.

907
01:04:01.800 --> 01:04:06.719
Seven brings us to a seven point one, seven point.

908
01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:08.320
Nine.

909
01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:10.480
We almost had.

910
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:14.000
Six point nine. We can't be doing the six point now,

911
01:04:14.639 --> 01:04:15.559
all right, So there we go.

912
01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:22.239
There we are, round up, round up, be generous.

913
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:31.239
Speaking of sequence DSB and needing a bigger boat and jaws.

914
01:04:31.679 --> 01:04:34.159
You're good segue. Let me even on the issue number nine,

915
01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:39.880
We're gonna I'll give us a quick therewadays. Right there

916
01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:40.199
there we are.

917
01:04:40.280 --> 01:04:45.519
Friends, that's right, ripping on the famous iconic poster for

918
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:49.639
issue number nine, and of course what kind of sharks

919
01:04:49.679 --> 01:04:53.159
are we talking about? Why the shark imagery? Well, Paul

920
01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:58.559
will be revealed friends. Okay, so this particular issue opens

921
01:04:58.599 --> 01:05:02.400
with a really wacky that turns out to be devan

922
01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:07.559
attendee's crazy dream that she's having right where everything is perfect.

923
01:05:07.719 --> 01:05:10.760
She's just everything is wonderful and the food is good,

924
01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:13.440
and she's just well liked and everything's going well, and

925
01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:17.159
she's even discovered a plant loaded with liquid dilithium, right,

926
01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:20.760
and she's on such close terms with the Captain that

927
01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:24.119
she's able to affectionately refer to Captain Freeman as care Bean,

928
01:05:24.679 --> 01:05:26.119
which I don't know if we've ever heard have we

929
01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:27.960
ever heard that on the show or is that new to.

930
01:05:27.920 --> 01:05:30.280
The comic, But now that's new to the comic.

931
01:05:30.400 --> 01:05:32.400
Yeah, I thought that was pretty you know, Carol Freeman

932
01:05:32.519 --> 01:05:35.679
is care Bear. I'm like, that's pretty hilarious. Right, And

933
01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:41.159
her lovely rhapsodic dream is interrupted by a private hail

934
01:05:41.280 --> 01:05:46.559
from the Federation President that turns into an explosive eruption

935
01:05:46.719 --> 01:05:50.280
of Gorman Gander droppings, right, and give the full two

936
01:05:50.320 --> 01:05:52.840
page panel. It's one of the most disgusting things I've

937
01:05:52.840 --> 01:05:56.719
ever seen, okay, And of course we've seen the Gorman

938
01:05:56.800 --> 01:06:01.800
gander before, right, originally on Discovery and then later in Picard.

939
01:06:01.880 --> 01:06:05.960
It's been referred to, right, have a space whale, if

940
01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:10.239
you will, and educational side note which I'm gonna cram

941
01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:14.639
down every one's throat there. The space whale name Gorman

942
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:19.199
gander may actually have been taken from Norse mythology, friends,

943
01:06:19.559 --> 01:06:24.840
where the Yorman gander is also known in the English

944
01:06:24.920 --> 01:06:30.519
parlance as the Midguard serpent. Okay, a unfathomably large and

945
01:06:30.599 --> 01:06:33.679
monstrous sea serpent that dwells in the world sea and

946
01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:37.360
circling Midguard or the Earth, eating its own tail. And

947
01:06:37.840 --> 01:06:41.079
God help you if that stops, because if he releases

948
01:06:41.159 --> 01:06:45.599
his tale, it's a sign that Ragnarok is nigh, if

949
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:47.920
you will. So I think that's where the name came from.

950
01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:48.000
It.

951
01:06:48.079 --> 01:06:50.639
So if you're a myth person, go check out. But

952
01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:54.880
that's all these Gorman Ganders do, apparently, is shit in space, right,

953
01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:57.920
and for some reason they got to that's their mission.

954
01:06:57.960 --> 01:07:04.119
And this particular episode is analyzing uh Gorman gander droppings, right,

955
01:07:05.679 --> 01:07:10.360
what kind of for me? Friends, I will say, wore out.

956
01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:14.000
It's welcome really fast, right, I mean there are panels

957
01:07:14.000 --> 01:07:16.639
and panels and panels and ship in this comage.

958
01:07:16.840 --> 01:07:17.480
Now wait a.

959
01:07:17.440 --> 01:07:22.199
Second, there are really there, really are Well allow me

960
01:07:22.320 --> 01:07:27.599
to report, I do I need to start, like, you know,

961
01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:31.920
pointing them out. Yeah, I mean it's all over the place, right,

962
01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:34.159
I mean, it's just it's yeah. So to me was

963
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:40.039
just like, but I'm digressing horribly as tend is all

964
01:07:40.079 --> 01:07:42.079
freaked out, right, Why is she freaked out having these

965
01:07:42.119 --> 01:07:44.920
weird dreams and friends out. She's trying to hide dozens

966
01:07:44.960 --> 01:07:47.760
of subspace messages that she's been frantically deleted so no

967
01:07:47.800 --> 01:07:50.480
one knows about them. Right, She's not sleeping because she's

968
01:07:50.519 --> 01:07:54.000
having all these crazy dreams which are all about lowing

969
01:07:54.079 --> 01:07:58.639
money to a Ferengi loan shark, get it, loan shark.

970
01:07:59.480 --> 01:08:02.480
The image now is coming together, right, And so we

971
01:08:02.639 --> 01:08:08.519
learn in this rather lengthy flashman right that when Tendy

972
01:08:08.639 --> 01:08:13.559
was going to Starfleet Academy aka school the Ferengi would

973
01:08:13.559 --> 01:08:16.760
call it, she wanted to go. She's all proud of

974
01:08:16.800 --> 01:08:18.920
herself and she doesn't want to think that she be

975
01:08:19.079 --> 01:08:21.359
thought of as relying on the coattails of her parents,

976
01:08:21.359 --> 01:08:23.720
so she wants to get there on her own without

977
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:26.159
taking help from her parents. So she borrows money from

978
01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:31.239
this loopy Ferengi person, and now years later she's in

979
01:08:31.319 --> 01:08:35.640
Ferengi collections and she owes them a butt on of latinum, right,

980
01:08:35.760 --> 01:08:39.359
and Damon Glam is the Ferengi in question here, And

981
01:08:39.399 --> 01:08:43.680
of course glom means to seize or get hold of something, right,

982
01:08:43.800 --> 01:08:48.479
so English and that know what your words mean if

983
01:08:48.520 --> 01:08:52.960
you can glam on too, right, And so Damon Glom

984
01:08:53.119 --> 01:08:56.479
shows up with a bunch of Ferengi starships demanding let

985
01:08:56.560 --> 01:09:00.920
Tendy be handed over to them or die, right, And

986
01:09:00.960 --> 01:09:05.000
that's basically the cliffhanger that the issue ends on. So

987
01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:10.079
I think a lot of your rating acceptance level on

988
01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:15.760
this particular issue will be dependent on your fondness for

989
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:18.760
Devon at Dandy on one hand, and your lack of

990
01:09:19.239 --> 01:09:23.600
ability to tolerate huge piles of excrement. And you're reading material.

991
01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:25.800
So I'm kind of in the middle on that. I

992
01:09:25.840 --> 01:09:29.159
will weigh in later. But where did you stand on

993
01:09:29.199 --> 01:09:30.439
this whole thing? Eric?

994
01:09:32.479 --> 01:09:36.399
I have to say that I really liked this issue.

995
01:09:37.079 --> 01:09:41.560
I find tend to be incredibly delightful overall and just

996
01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:44.800
an entire issue dedicated to her is something that I

997
01:09:44.840 --> 01:09:48.960
don't mind one bit. You know, I kind of knew

998
01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:51.319
at the beginning when weird stuff was happening that it

999
01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:53.640
was eventually all going to be a dream. But I

1000
01:09:53.680 --> 01:09:56.359
didn't mind it somehow, despite the fact that I often

1001
01:09:56.399 --> 01:09:59.640
complained about it was only just a dream type things.

1002
01:10:01.399 --> 01:10:04.479
But there were some great jokes in here, great funny moments,

1003
01:10:04.840 --> 01:10:07.439
the whole thing about like some people getting per diems

1004
01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:11.560
in star like. I still like they've complicated the whole

1005
01:10:11.600 --> 01:10:14.560
like finance of Starfleet so much that I love it.

1006
01:10:16.720 --> 01:10:22.359
Uh So, yeah, I the poop, So, Paul, here's what

1007
01:10:22.399 --> 01:10:25.079
I think. If you count the page that has the

1008
01:10:25.119 --> 01:10:29.640
giant face exploding from the screen, that's pages four and five,

1009
01:10:29.760 --> 01:10:31.840
So I could, I could give you two pages there,

1010
01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:35.159
But then it's just page eight, man, And that's it.

1011
01:10:35.399 --> 01:10:39.199
That's all the poop. There's that's all the poop. There's

1012
01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:39.800
no more poop.

1013
01:10:40.239 --> 01:10:43.079
It feels like it's everywhere I count.

1014
01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:47.560
I count maybe three pages. There's also bars later page.

1015
01:10:47.279 --> 01:10:50.680
Bar there's another one right there. It's more of it

1016
01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:51.199
right there.

1017
01:10:54.199 --> 01:11:00.560
Well, anyway, however, much poop and why are the barfing?

1018
01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:02.159
Because they're thinking about poop?

1019
01:11:02.279 --> 01:11:03.640
That's why they're baring.

1020
01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:06.079
Right, I mean, it is disgusting, it's.

1021
01:11:05.920 --> 01:11:11.000
Really it was so funny. And the page where Boimler

1022
01:11:11.199 --> 01:11:15.680
and Mariners start barfing because Tendy was barfing and just

1023
01:11:16.359 --> 01:11:20.439
like Boimler is barfing and the barf is like ejecting

1024
01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:23.479
straight upwards and back behind him and he's flailing as

1025
01:11:23.520 --> 01:11:25.159
I'm sorry, that is some funny it was.

1026
01:11:25.479 --> 01:11:25.800
It was.

1027
01:11:28.000 --> 01:11:29.479
I'm glad that worked for you.

1028
01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:37.119
I'm not a big vomiting thing. That's right, That's fine,

1029
01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:39.439
it's true.

1030
01:11:41.039 --> 01:11:44.520
I like so yeah, I mean, I don't know that

1031
01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:47.000
there's too much more for me to like specifically talk about,

1032
01:11:47.079 --> 01:11:49.760
but I really liked just all of the tending time.

1033
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:52.479
There's a little bit of to Lin, which is you know,

1034
01:11:52.680 --> 01:11:55.039
anytime you throw to Lin in the mix, I'm all

1035
01:11:55.079 --> 01:11:57.960
about it. Yeah, I can tell you that three you know,

1036
01:11:58.079 --> 01:12:01.399
decor classes are not like a maze using frangi ships,

1037
01:12:01.399 --> 01:12:04.359
but they are you know, they're big, They're like really big.

1038
01:12:04.399 --> 01:12:06.680
So have three of them surrounding the soritos is kind

1039
01:12:06.680 --> 01:12:08.479
of a big deal. So yeah, we'll have to see

1040
01:12:08.479 --> 01:12:12.560
what happens next issue. So I get this. Uh, I

1041
01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:14.840
hate to say it. I just really enjoyed this, and

1042
01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:18.520
I love I also loved the launch of any new

1043
01:12:18.640 --> 01:12:22.199
storyline like that automatically kind of boosted a point for me.

1044
01:12:22.760 --> 01:12:24.359
I felt like the last one kind of died on

1045
01:12:24.399 --> 01:12:25.920
the viney a little bit. So I'm just gonna give

1046
01:12:25.960 --> 01:12:27.840
this one a nine. I'm not afraid.

1047
01:12:31.399 --> 01:12:34.079
Next this just in Eric would like more poop and

1048
01:12:34.119 --> 01:12:36.399
all of the further issues of so.

1049
01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:40.439
I mean, you know, but see, the thing was that

1050
01:12:40.760 --> 01:12:43.279
just not the inclusion of poop, but the fact that

1051
01:12:43.319 --> 01:12:46.479
it was tastefully done. I just really, you know, it

1052
01:12:46.520 --> 01:12:47.560
adds to the overall.

1053
01:12:49.399 --> 01:12:54.640
Yeah, I will gladly, I will gladly to disagree.

1054
01:12:54.840 --> 01:12:56.119
Yeah, I will please do all.

1055
01:12:56.159 --> 01:13:00.680
Right, So first off, before I forget the whole you know,

1056
01:13:00.840 --> 01:13:04.800
vomiting where one person starts, that's what that reminded me

1057
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:08.319
of the scene and stand by me with the Barfo rama,

1058
01:13:09.039 --> 01:13:12.119
you know, with lard Ass, the story that uh that

1059
01:13:12.399 --> 01:13:17.479
uh George Geordie was telling. Yeah, but no three words

1060
01:13:18.119 --> 01:13:24.199
alien pooter scoots. That's what they've were calling That's what

1061
01:13:24.279 --> 01:13:31.119
they were calling it, so alien pooter scoots. I just

1062
01:13:31.399 --> 01:13:36.960
was laughing, like just like an idiot over that. But

1063
01:13:37.079 --> 01:13:40.800
also there were a couple of references because I love

1064
01:13:40.920 --> 01:13:44.840
Tendy and you know, I love to Lynn having met

1065
01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:49.560
Gabrielle and you know, doing the yeah all that. But

1066
01:13:49.880 --> 01:13:53.880
did anybody catch when Tendy is reminiscing about going to

1067
01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:58.399
Starfleet Academy and she's on the grounds and sort of

1068
01:13:58.479 --> 01:14:03.079
behind her you see booth be in the garden and

1069
01:14:03.239 --> 01:14:05.319
I don't know if they have that, And there's also

1070
01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:11.359
that looks like, uh it looked there was Troy and

1071
01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:17.119
Riker and uh, I think the trombone, yes, and they

1072
01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:20.479
and they also when they're talking about the FARRANGI mentioned

1073
01:14:21.920 --> 01:14:26.119
the energy whips that harken back to the you know,

1074
01:14:26.239 --> 01:14:29.960
dreadful episode of TNG with when we first see the

1075
01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:36.199
FRANGI with those witch Yeah. So this one, I don't know,

1076
01:14:36.279 --> 01:14:39.960
I just it just cracked me up. It was just

1077
01:14:40.119 --> 01:14:44.479
hilarious and the whole confusing, the whole money thing, like

1078
01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:46.239
do we need it, don't we need it? Oh we

1079
01:14:46.319 --> 01:14:49.880
get a per diem, don't you? Uh just I don't know.

1080
01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:52.960
It was just the whole thing was delightful and hilarious.

1081
01:14:53.079 --> 01:14:57.000
And yes, Paul juvenile with the barf and the pooh,

1082
01:14:57.039 --> 01:15:03.880
but it's like alien Pewter scoots. Okay on, So for that,

1083
01:15:04.079 --> 01:15:07.359
I give it. I give it a nine point five.

1084
01:15:09.960 --> 01:15:14.640
All right, from the child, what do you think about?

1085
01:15:16.680 --> 01:15:21.560
Okay, well, I'm got one for thee that I'm surprised

1086
01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:25.239
she didn't bring up personally. You kind of knew what

1087
01:15:25.439 --> 01:15:32.199
he was going towards a dream when you got doctor Moopsie. Yep,

1088
01:15:33.479 --> 01:15:36.680
Doctor Moopsie's sitting there wandering a ram and it's like, okay,

1089
01:15:36.760 --> 01:15:47.600
that's but coming up. We sit there and say, okay,

1090
01:15:47.680 --> 01:15:51.640
we can't sleep. I don't want to sleep. Okay, well

1091
01:15:51.640 --> 01:15:56.439
what should we do? Oh okay, let's go see nigglay Nou.

1092
01:15:58.800 --> 01:16:04.479
It's like, okay, it's like you kind of realize that, yeah,

1093
01:16:04.520 --> 01:16:06.439
that's the last person you want to go see as

1094
01:16:06.439 --> 01:16:14.479
a ship's counselor for this one. And she's sitting there

1095
01:16:14.560 --> 01:16:16.800
next to him. It's like, I think I need more coffee.

1096
01:16:16.880 --> 01:16:20.239
It's like, oh, I didn't realize you're gone through the

1097
01:16:20.279 --> 01:16:27.199
first seven, the first seven containers of coffee. She's got

1098
01:16:27.199 --> 01:16:29.560
this coffee container you can make me put your head in,

1099
01:16:31.119 --> 01:16:35.199
and yes, you can get burns from putting your head

1100
01:16:35.239 --> 01:16:38.840
in a cup of coffee. Okay, I think that's a

1101
01:16:38.880 --> 01:16:42.640
good reason not to have that big a cup of coffee.

1102
01:16:45.680 --> 01:16:47.960
So why of course love the fact that the doctor

1103
01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:51.239
it's like, oh, yes, I'll sit there and put her,

1104
01:16:51.319 --> 01:16:53.960
I'll sit there and take care of her, put her asleep.

1105
01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:58.439
It's like, yeah, that sounds exactly like our doctor right there.

1106
01:16:59.439 --> 01:17:02.600
Did you see in pictures? She's ready to sit there

1107
01:17:02.600 --> 01:17:09.079
and put Tendy to sleep. But we get definitely an

1108
01:17:09.079 --> 01:17:16.000
interesting history, Definitely an interesting little backstory, a little bit

1109
01:17:16.159 --> 01:17:22.079
Tendy's backstory. Definitely an interesting idea of what's going on.

1110
01:17:24.479 --> 01:17:25.479
And I think.

1111
01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:29.359
The conversation with the money was interesting that we kind

1112
01:17:29.399 --> 01:17:33.640
of deal with U, No, they're not making income. They're

1113
01:17:33.680 --> 01:17:38.279
not they're not getting a group, they're not getting especially

1114
01:17:38.319 --> 01:17:42.520
they're not getting a bonus for joining Starfleet, which the

1115
01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:48.960
FERENGI think they're getting, and that these these these Starfleet

1116
01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:54.319
officers are rich. It's like, no, they're not. So definitely,

1117
01:17:54.399 --> 01:17:57.520
when we're done with the episode, I got to go

1118
01:17:57.600 --> 01:18:01.720
back and read, go go through and read reading nine.

1119
01:18:02.439 --> 01:18:04.319
It's like, Nope, I'm not going to read nine. I'm

1120
01:18:04.319 --> 01:18:09.399
not going to get ahead of myself to seeing what happens.

1121
01:18:09.520 --> 01:18:13.479
But I definitely be ready for the show and for

1122
01:18:13.520 --> 01:18:19.600
this eight point five, and I definitely like the Tindy

1123
01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:21.840
side of it because I'm definitely a big Tindy fan.

1124
01:18:24.479 --> 01:18:27.920
Uh right, well then what do you think?

1125
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:34.560
Yeah, I liked this. I have a shorty issue.

1126
01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:35.079
This.

1127
01:18:36.520 --> 01:18:40.439
I agree with the Charles. I am kind of a

1128
01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:43.439
Tindy fan as well. I like her energy, I like

1129
01:18:43.520 --> 01:18:50.600
her attitude. I like her overall almost oblivious sense of

1130
01:18:50.640 --> 01:18:54.359
like what's going on around her almost but what's out

1131
01:18:55.239 --> 01:19:00.359
and everything plans out and whatnot. So yeah, as far

1132
01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:04.039
as this whole poop situation, oh, I have to bring

1133
01:19:04.079 --> 01:19:06.880
it up. I'm not really too much into the whole

1134
01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:09.279
throw OpEd up either, but if they can make it funny,

1135
01:19:09.680 --> 01:19:12.680
it's funny. You know, it gets me and it can

1136
01:19:12.760 --> 01:19:15.600
make me laugh. And I've actually laughed out loud reading

1137
01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:16.600
this issue.

1138
01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:16.960
And so.

1139
01:19:19.720 --> 01:19:23.199
But there's a couple others things too about the whole

1140
01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:27.560
some of the lines that they have in here. May

1141
01:19:29.479 --> 01:19:31.760
and the first officer I forgot his name. Now what

1142
01:19:31.880 --> 01:19:37.079
was the first officer's name? Ransom? Yeah, So what made

1143
01:19:37.159 --> 01:19:40.079
me read this line over and over and over again

1144
01:19:40.199 --> 01:19:42.880
for some reason? When they were saying something like we

1145
01:19:42.920 --> 01:19:44.840
don't want to force you to force us to use

1146
01:19:44.880 --> 01:19:49.000
force or something like that, and I'm like, so that

1147
01:19:49.239 --> 01:19:52.840
and the just oh man, it was funny, but it

1148
01:19:52.920 --> 01:19:55.880
was confusion in a funny way. But to me, I

1149
01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:59.479
don't know, this episode. I enjoyed it, probably way more

1150
01:19:59.520 --> 01:20:09.439
than the other there that episode. But yeah, this, as

1151
01:20:09.479 --> 01:20:13.239
you guys know, Lower Decks is my favorite TV series

1152
01:20:13.359 --> 01:20:18.359
of the Star Trek stuff. So the comics, they really

1153
01:20:18.399 --> 01:20:22.880
reflect what the TV series had brought, and I have

1154
01:20:22.960 --> 01:20:26.920
to give them kudos for that because they really did

1155
01:20:27.199 --> 01:20:30.880
their homework in a sense. So to me, it's like

1156
01:20:32.439 --> 01:20:38.000
watching what Lower Decks could have continued if they didn't cancel.

1157
01:20:38.720 --> 01:20:43.920
So to me, this one in particular, I really enjoyed,

1158
01:20:44.239 --> 01:20:50.039
and the story continued on to what issue ten I believe,

1159
01:20:50.920 --> 01:20:54.199
So this one, I'm gonna have to give this one.

1160
01:20:54.399 --> 01:20:57.520
I'm probably gonna go up there with Charles and doing

1161
01:20:57.520 --> 01:20:58.319
an eight point five.

1162
01:21:01.199 --> 01:21:04.720
Eight point five well, as you guys know, starts five.

1163
01:21:04.840 --> 01:21:09.479
The Final Frontier is my favorite movie. I had thee

1164
01:21:11.000 --> 01:21:16.520
I Can't Break my Streets, so uh they even started,

1165
01:21:16.600 --> 01:21:19.159
I had to jump in there. But yeah, anything right,

1166
01:21:19.880 --> 01:21:26.119
you know, I the Scooter poots. You know, this was

1167
01:21:26.159 --> 01:21:30.079
a fun, fun issue. I enjoyed reading it. I loved

1168
01:21:30.119 --> 01:21:34.800
Tendy anyways, the whole So here's my thing on the

1169
01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:41.920
pay I'm thinking back to point Beverly Crusher is on

1170
01:21:41.960 --> 01:21:45.399
the planet and she buys an entire bolt of fabrica

1171
01:21:45.439 --> 01:21:48.880
and she says, send it to my ship and charge

1172
01:21:48.880 --> 01:21:53.159
it to Crush her. So they must have some fight.

1173
01:21:53.600 --> 01:21:56.760
I mean, they have to have some type of money

1174
01:21:56.880 --> 01:21:59.720
or how could she pay for the stuff she just

1175
01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:06.279
so there's gonna be some type of per diem something there.

1176
01:22:06.720 --> 01:22:10.720
What it is, I don't know, but to see that,

1177
01:22:11.720 --> 01:22:14.239
you know, the Feringi wanting the money and the whole thing.

1178
01:22:14.560 --> 01:22:18.399
It was funny. And by the way, those moment there

1179
01:22:18.479 --> 01:22:24.159
was one Dacora class and two their ships, and I

1180
01:22:24.720 --> 01:22:26.960
paid close attention to it because I wanted to see

1181
01:22:26.960 --> 01:22:30.039
what the other Feringhi ships look like, because the de

1182
01:22:30.199 --> 01:22:32.960
Kora is pretty much and the Shuttle are the only

1183
01:22:33.000 --> 01:22:35.600
two Feringi ships that we ever see. But in this

1184
01:22:35.760 --> 01:22:39.399
issue we see two different Feringi ships. So I thought

1185
01:22:39.399 --> 01:22:42.199
that was cool that they actually took the time to

1186
01:22:42.319 --> 01:22:46.680
design a new Feringhi ship along with the one that

1187
01:22:46.720 --> 01:22:49.840
we always see, So I give them kudos for that.

1188
01:22:51.399 --> 01:22:56.880
So yeah, keeping it short and sweet, I'm gonna go

1189
01:22:56.880 --> 01:23:01.520
with an eight for this issue overall, and we're going

1190
01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:04.239
to swing back to Paul, who has not given us

1191
01:23:04.399 --> 01:23:06.960
a score yet.

1192
01:23:07.600 --> 01:23:10.239
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1193
01:23:10.279 --> 01:23:12.479
And David was just with the visuals. I'm just like,

1194
01:23:12.479 --> 01:23:17.640
oh my god, I never see them going to make

1195
01:23:17.680 --> 01:23:20.000
sure there's no brown crayons in the entire fucking house.

1196
01:23:20.039 --> 01:23:25.720
I'm done with the show. I'm yeah. I love Tendy too.

1197
01:23:25.840 --> 01:23:28.239
Tendy is a great character, is really super fun. So

1198
01:23:28.319 --> 01:23:30.920
her my affection for her as a character, and my

1199
01:23:31.079 --> 01:23:33.920
sympathy for anyone carrying a lot of student debt, I

1200
01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:37.720
think is is winning out right. Yes, yeah, so so

1201
01:23:38.000 --> 01:23:39.560
you know, well, you know, what do you gonna do?

1202
01:23:40.479 --> 01:23:42.159
So I think I'm going to try to, you know,

1203
01:23:42.279 --> 01:23:44.880
be leaning a little bit more positive and not be

1204
01:23:44.920 --> 01:23:47.560
as negative. I would give it a higher score except

1205
01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:51.119
for that one visual component that I just do not

1206
01:23:51.239 --> 01:23:54.319
care for. So I will be weighing in with a

1207
01:23:55.079 --> 01:23:58.039
seven on this particular episode I think is appropriate. So

1208
01:23:58.119 --> 01:24:00.479
we'll just say it's seven for both of these this week.

1209
01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:02.840
It seems appropriate.

1210
01:24:03.399 --> 01:24:09.880
All right, appropriately noted. So, Charles, what's our overall truck

1211
01:24:09.960 --> 01:24:13.920
Spurt score for Lower Decks issue number nine?

1212
01:24:14.479 --> 01:24:16.960
Well, unless you up for nine went a lot higher

1213
01:24:17.000 --> 01:24:18.800
and hit to an eight point four.

1214
01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:21.880
Scooter boots you're kidding?

1215
01:24:22.960 --> 01:24:23.399
Wow?

1216
01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:28.560
All right, excellent. So that wraps up our common our

1217
01:24:28.680 --> 01:24:32.239
review of Star Trek Lower decks. And you know what, guys,

1218
01:24:32.279 --> 01:24:34.279
you know what time it is? Do you know what

1219
01:24:34.359 --> 01:24:36.800
time it is? Because I know what time it is.

1220
01:24:37.640 --> 01:24:41.000
It's time for Well, what do you think about David's

1221
01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:43.800
graphic before I played? What do you guys?

1222
01:24:43.880 --> 01:24:49.640
Very nice? Very nice? The graphic? Yeah, that's good.

1223
01:24:52.520 --> 01:24:53.199
Where's the theme?

1224
01:24:53.520 --> 01:24:55.760
And now comes now?

1225
01:24:57.439 --> 01:24:59.000
And now the themes?

1226
01:24:59.720 --> 01:25:03.239
Now all that's happening in three we could just sing it,

1227
01:25:04.159 --> 01:25:06.199
why is a thing work?

1228
01:25:24.399 --> 01:25:25.800
That was not a Clinton song?

1229
01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:30.000
So for every single one of you patrons out there

1230
01:25:30.039 --> 01:25:33.720
that's actually watching the video, Dyved put this all together

1231
01:25:34.359 --> 01:25:37.279
and we changed it from Star Trek Birthday to sci

1232
01:25:37.319 --> 01:25:41.079
Fi Birthdays because we're talking and beyond, and so I've

1233
01:25:41.119 --> 01:25:45.760
expanded the birthdays to include more of the more notable

1234
01:25:45.880 --> 01:25:50.439
sci fi characters that we all know. So, without any

1235
01:25:50.520 --> 01:25:54.640
further adio, we always start off I remember in those

1236
01:25:54.680 --> 01:25:57.680
members of our sci fi family, sadly enough, are no

1237
01:25:57.760 --> 01:26:01.159
longer with us. For that, we turned to air Jim.

1238
01:26:01.159 --> 01:26:04.680
This week, we honor six of our members of the

1239
01:26:04.720 --> 01:26:06.680
sci fi community who have gone before us. The first

1240
01:26:06.720 --> 01:26:10.800
is actor Jeremy Kemp. Jeremy Kemps, of course, the English

1241
01:26:10.880 --> 01:26:14.079
actor who portrayed Robert Picard in Star Trek The Next

1242
01:26:14.119 --> 01:26:19.960
Generation's fourth season episode Family. He was born Edmund Jeremy

1243
01:26:20.079 --> 01:26:23.800
James Walker in Chesterfield, derby Shire, and adopted his mother's

1244
01:26:23.840 --> 01:26:26.600
maiden name as his stage moniker, which is kind of

1245
01:26:26.640 --> 01:26:30.920
an interesting thing, makes sense, nice and short. Kemp began

1246
01:26:30.960 --> 01:26:33.960
his acting career in the nineteen fifties, eventually joining the

1247
01:26:34.039 --> 01:26:37.439
Royal Shakespeare Company at the Old VIC for two seasons,

1248
01:26:38.319 --> 01:26:42.479
and I, of course years later because I just finished

1249
01:26:42.520 --> 01:26:47.680
watching this show, would see him in an episode in

1250
01:26:47.760 --> 01:26:52.079
nineteen seventy five episode of Space nineteen ninety nine Voyager's Return.

1251
01:26:52.119 --> 01:26:57.000
He's in that episode It's Yeah, which was kind of cool.

1252
01:26:57.119 --> 01:26:59.960
His last role before we lost him was in Kona

1253
01:27:00.199 --> 01:27:03.760
the Adventure, the television series which ran for one season

1254
01:27:03.760 --> 01:27:06.560
in nineteen ninety seven through nineteen ninety eight. It featured

1255
01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:09.479
Jimmy Skaggs. So lost back in twenty nineteen at the

1256
01:27:09.520 --> 01:27:12.199
age of eighty four years old. We honor Jeremy Kemp

1257
01:27:12.239 --> 01:27:16.680
this week. Happy Birthdays well to Alfred Ryder born Alfred

1258
01:27:16.760 --> 01:27:20.800
Jacob Korn, the actor who portrayed Robert Krater in the

1259
01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:25.399
original series first season episode The Man Trap. Alfred Rider

1260
01:27:25.439 --> 01:27:29.520
made well over one hundred television guest appearances, including all

1261
01:27:29.560 --> 01:27:32.439
the ones that you've heard us talk about a lot

1262
01:27:32.479 --> 01:27:35.680
from the sixties, you know, Man from Uncle, Mission, Impossible,

1263
01:27:35.800 --> 01:27:40.199
Barnaby Jones, Untouchables, all those sorts of shows. He co

1264
01:27:40.279 --> 01:27:44.760
starred with fellow TOS guest performers in the nineteen sixty

1265
01:27:44.840 --> 01:27:48.920
nine western True Grit. He was also nineteen seventy five's

1266
01:27:49.039 --> 01:27:53.119
Escape to Which Mountain and a cult movie that I've

1267
01:27:53.159 --> 01:27:58.239
never seen but apparently stars Dean Stockwell called Tracks. Ah,

1268
01:27:58.680 --> 01:28:03.560
never heard of it anyway. Alfred Writer great contributions to

1269
01:28:03.800 --> 01:28:07.399
science fiction and beyond lost him back in nineteen ninety

1270
01:28:07.399 --> 01:28:09.359
five at the age of seventy nine years old. Happy

1271
01:28:09.359 --> 01:28:14.600
birthday to mister Ryder. Stepping outside of the Star Trek Lexicon,

1272
01:28:14.760 --> 01:28:18.279
we honor this week somebody who is unfortunately recently deceased.

1273
01:28:18.279 --> 01:28:22.039
Just this last April, we lost the great actor Val

1274
01:28:22.279 --> 01:28:26.960
Kilmer Bell of course, as an American actor, initially a

1275
01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:30.039
stage actor, later found his fame as a leading man

1276
01:28:30.159 --> 01:28:34.359
in films in a wide variety of genres, including comedies, dramas,

1277
01:28:34.439 --> 01:28:39.800
action adventures, westerns, historical films, crime dramas, science fiction films,

1278
01:28:39.880 --> 01:28:44.479
and fantasy films. He rose to prominence for playing Iceman

1279
01:28:44.680 --> 01:28:47.560
in Top Gun, probably the first place I ever remember

1280
01:28:47.560 --> 01:28:51.279
seeing him. He was also Mad Martigan in Willow. He

1281
01:28:51.279 --> 01:28:55.479
played Jim Morrison in The Doors Doc, Holliday and Tombstone.

1282
01:28:56.119 --> 01:29:00.279
And yes, he did play Batman slash Bruce Wayne in

1283
01:29:00.399 --> 01:29:06.720
Batman Forever, the very colorful offering into the Batman franchise

1284
01:29:07.319 --> 01:29:17.760
with the magical codpiece. Anyway you no, I'm I don't

1285
01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:21.039
I need to. It's the it's the only bats that

1286
01:29:21.079 --> 01:29:21.680
has nipples.

1287
01:29:23.079 --> 01:29:35.560
Well, well, I was going to say, as Iceman Iceman

1288
01:29:35.720 --> 01:29:36.560
in Top Gun.

1289
01:29:37.199 --> 01:29:39.520
He was in and you see his picture there with

1290
01:29:39.800 --> 01:29:46.000
the hottest volleyball scene, the sports scene in any movie ever.

1291
01:29:46.840 --> 01:29:52.439
So thank you very much, and.

1292
01:29:52.319 --> 01:29:56.640
A happy birthday to unfortunately just lost. Like as we

1293
01:29:56.680 --> 01:30:00.880
said in this last April happy birthday as well. Moving

1294
01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:04.319
forward to the great Aaron Scott Eisenberg, the actor who

1295
01:30:04.399 --> 01:30:07.239
is best known for portraying the Faranki nog on Deep

1296
01:30:07.279 --> 01:30:10.319
Space nine. This feels also like this just happened yesterday.

1297
01:30:10.319 --> 01:30:15.560
Although we lost him back in twenty nineteen, he reprised

1298
01:30:15.600 --> 01:30:18.880
his role as Noog in the Star Trek Online, a

1299
01:30:19.159 --> 01:30:22.680
game for many, many seasons. He also played the Kaison

1300
01:30:22.960 --> 01:30:28.079
car on Voyagers episode Initiations Way back in the day.

1301
01:30:28.720 --> 01:30:32.239
He underwent, of course, a kidney transplant, had some other

1302
01:30:32.319 --> 01:30:35.680
health issues when he was a teenager, which gave him

1303
01:30:36.159 --> 01:30:40.600
a shorter stature, which made him perfect for playing the Ferengi. Actually,

1304
01:30:41.600 --> 01:30:43.760
and he actually made his first acting appearance in the

1305
01:30:43.800 --> 01:30:48.359
nineteen eighty nine film Beverly Hills Brats, in which will

1306
01:30:48.359 --> 01:30:51.319
Be Goldberg made a cameo appearance in Star Trek stunt

1307
01:30:51.319 --> 01:30:57.119
coordinator Dennis Dennis Madalone played a store clerk. Aaron did

1308
01:30:57.119 --> 01:31:01.399
a handful of movies throughout the nineties, including a movie

1309
01:31:01.399 --> 01:31:04.840
with Will Wheaton called The Liars Club. He also performed

1310
01:31:04.840 --> 01:31:08.199
in several stage plays along the way, and unfortunately we

1311
01:31:08.279 --> 01:31:13.920
lost him twenty first of September twenty nineteen to heart failure,

1312
01:31:14.359 --> 01:31:16.960
lost way too early at only fifty years old. Happy

1313
01:31:17.000 --> 01:31:20.199
birthday and lots of love and remembrances going out to

1314
01:31:20.279 --> 01:31:25.960
Aaron Eisenberg. Happy birthday to Victor Vic Tayback. The actor

1315
01:31:27.239 --> 01:31:31.720
who portrayed Jojo Craco in the original series second season

1316
01:31:31.800 --> 01:31:35.399
episode A Piece of the Action. This guy was all

1317
01:31:35.399 --> 01:31:38.039
over the place back in television in the day to

1318
01:31:39.640 --> 01:31:43.079
In nineteen sixty six, he made an uncredited appearance in

1319
01:31:43.119 --> 01:31:46.439
the film Dead Heat. He was also in Merry Garround.

1320
01:31:46.960 --> 01:31:50.119
He also later on in the eighties was on TJ.

1321
01:31:50.279 --> 01:31:54.800
Hooker made a lot of made for television movies. In

1322
01:31:54.840 --> 01:31:57.359
nineteen eighty nine, he actually co starred with future Star

1323
01:31:57.399 --> 01:32:02.640
Trek Voyager actor Robert Ricardo the comedy Lover Boy as well.

1324
01:32:03.560 --> 01:32:08.880
So go check out Vic Taybach's multitude of things that

1325
01:32:08.920 --> 01:32:11.000
he starred in, But I think Piece of the Action

1326
01:32:11.119 --> 01:32:12.720
is definitely the one that I remember him for. That

1327
01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:15.960
and Alice, of course watched many many episodes of Alice's

1328
01:32:16.000 --> 01:32:20.640
as a child, So happy Birthday to Vic Taybach. And

1329
01:32:20.720 --> 01:32:23.079
last but not least on the remembrance list, this week

1330
01:32:23.119 --> 01:32:27.319
we have one of many queens of Star Trek, but

1331
01:32:27.399 --> 01:32:28.960
this is the one that I think about a lot.

1332
01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:32.840
And Michelle Nichols unfortunately lost only back in twenty twenty

1333
01:32:32.880 --> 01:32:34.760
two at the age of eighty nine years old. She

1334
01:32:34.840 --> 01:32:39.319
of course, is the American actress from Robin's Illinois, who

1335
01:32:39.560 --> 01:32:44.560
was made famous for portraying Nyota Uhura in the original series,

1336
01:32:44.600 --> 01:32:50.399
the animated series the first Six Star Trek Films. Later,

1337
01:32:50.479 --> 01:32:52.359
you know footage of her appearing in some of the

1338
01:32:52.399 --> 01:32:55.319
other shows that we used footage from previous episodes. She

1339
01:32:55.399 --> 01:32:58.079
also provided the voices for a number of other characters

1340
01:32:58.119 --> 01:33:01.680
on the animated series. Not everybody knows that Michelle Nichols

1341
01:33:01.760 --> 01:33:05.560
was actually originally discovered by jazz legend Duke Ellington in

1342
01:33:05.600 --> 01:33:09.239
her mid teens, touring with both Duke Ellington and Lionel

1343
01:33:09.239 --> 01:33:13.520
Hampton as a lead singer and dancer. Broke into acting

1344
01:33:13.560 --> 01:33:16.199
in the film Porgy and Best in nineteen fifty nine

1345
01:33:16.239 --> 01:33:20.079
and had an acting career lasting over forty five years.

1346
01:33:20.760 --> 01:33:23.439
Another really cool trivia thing that I love about Michelle

1347
01:33:23.520 --> 01:33:26.800
Nichols is that she actually lobbied to appear as Guynan's

1348
01:33:26.920 --> 01:33:32.479
daughter in the Next Generation. Richard Arnold added to that

1349
01:33:32.680 --> 01:33:35.800
by suggesting at the Los Angeles Creation Convention in nineteen

1350
01:33:35.880 --> 01:33:39.800
ninety that she might appear as Guynan's mother or daughter. However,

1351
01:33:40.000 --> 01:33:42.880
unfortunately that never manifested. I just think that would have

1352
01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:48.199
been really cool, though, to have this Guyanan Michelle Nichols' connection.

1353
01:33:49.199 --> 01:33:51.840
She was the first African American actress to place her

1354
01:33:51.880 --> 01:33:55.640
hand prints in front of Hollywood's Grumm and Chinese Theater

1355
01:33:55.840 --> 01:33:58.399
along with the rest of the Star Trek cast, and

1356
01:33:58.439 --> 01:34:01.960
in nineteen ninety two, she got her own star. In

1357
01:34:02.000 --> 01:34:05.079
two thousand and six, she returned to her role of

1358
01:34:05.199 --> 01:34:08.479
Uhua in the fan film Star Trek of Gods and Men,

1359
01:34:08.520 --> 01:34:10.319
which I always like to say, if you haven't seen it,

1360
01:34:10.720 --> 01:34:13.880
shed go check it out. Super awesome fan film. And

1361
01:34:14.000 --> 01:34:16.920
after meeting Nichols at a Star Trek convention in nineteen

1362
01:34:17.000 --> 01:34:22.439
seventy five, scientist doctor Jesco von Puttkamer suggested that the

1363
01:34:22.439 --> 01:34:25.560
actress take part in NASA's recruiting drive. She took up

1364
01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:28.520
the role in nineteen seventy seven, making recruitment and training

1365
01:34:28.600 --> 01:34:33.760
videos and supervising astronaut recruits and hopefuls. She noted that

1366
01:34:33.760 --> 01:34:37.199
within six months, the applicant count went from fewer than

1367
01:34:37.199 --> 01:34:41.000
one hundred a year to over sixteen hundred. Most of

1368
01:34:41.000 --> 01:34:44.840
the recruits that she attracted were women or from ethnic minorities.

1369
01:34:44.880 --> 01:34:48.840
For her efforts, Nichols was named as NASA's Woman of

1370
01:34:48.880 --> 01:34:51.079
the Year in nineteen seventy nine. And if you haven't

1371
01:34:51.079 --> 01:34:54.920
seen the movie Woman in Motion, you should definitely check

1372
01:34:54.960 --> 01:34:57.479
it out. It's a great story of her contributions to

1373
01:34:57.760 --> 01:35:01.479
the actual real life space program. So happy birthday to

1374
01:35:01.680 --> 01:35:04.479
Nachelle Nichols. We love you very much. And that does

1375
01:35:04.520 --> 01:35:07.720
it for our remembrances this week. So I'm going to

1376
01:35:07.720 --> 01:35:09.479
pass the flaming birthday candle on t V.

1377
01:35:10.159 --> 01:35:15.079
All Right, I have a happy birthday going to Wilson Cruz,

1378
01:35:15.920 --> 01:35:23.960
American actor who portrays doctor Hugh Culber in Star Trek Discovery. Next,

1379
01:35:24.680 --> 01:35:29.159
let's send a happy birthday to Michelle Hurd. She's an

1380
01:35:29.159 --> 01:35:34.720
American actress who plays Rafaela Raffie musicer in Star Trek.

1381
01:35:34.760 --> 01:35:38.680
Picard actually met her back in September. Very nice lady.

1382
01:35:39.560 --> 01:35:42.920
You might have seen her in the early episodes of

1383
01:35:45.159 --> 01:35:48.800
Law and Order. I think she was in SBU. But

1384
01:35:49.039 --> 01:35:53.960
very nice lady. And next, because we were just talking

1385
01:35:53.960 --> 01:35:58.279
about the wonderful character that she voices, but a happy

1386
01:35:58.520 --> 01:36:06.079
birthday to Noel Wells. She's an American actress, comedian, director,

1387
01:36:06.600 --> 01:36:12.319
and musician who voices Divana Tendy on Lower Decks. So

1388
01:36:12.399 --> 01:36:18.279
happy birthday to Noel. Next, happy birthday to Conchetta Tomey.

1389
01:36:19.359 --> 01:36:25.119
She's the American actress who played Odala in Voyager third

1390
01:36:25.239 --> 01:36:30.560
season episode Distant Origin. That was a very cool episode.

1391
01:36:30.600 --> 01:36:35.520
They were sort of like human versions of hadrosaurs and

1392
01:36:35.560 --> 01:36:37.520
the whole thing. I love it, Yeah, wasn't it.

1393
01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:41.199
I mean, it was such a cool idea to have,

1394
01:36:41.359 --> 01:36:44.399
like the return of Dinasose. And I will tell you

1395
01:36:44.479 --> 01:36:46.319
that there's a little bit of a tie into some

1396
01:36:46.359 --> 01:36:48.039
Doctor Who stuff from that episode.

1397
01:36:48.199 --> 01:36:50.159
Really Okay, okay, yeah.

1398
01:36:50.079 --> 01:36:52.199
If you ever want to watch it, I can recommend

1399
01:36:52.199 --> 01:36:55.479
that the idea of like these dinosaur things coming.

1400
01:36:55.239 --> 01:36:59.640
Back, Yeah, that was really neat. And so because they

1401
01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:03.039
were going what was it going against doctrine? That was

1402
01:37:03.079 --> 01:37:06.640
the whole thing. And then she but she was best

1403
01:37:06.800 --> 01:37:11.359
known for her role as major Lyla Garow on the

1404
01:37:11.439 --> 01:37:17.840
ABC TV series China Beach, who had another which had

1405
01:37:17.880 --> 01:37:20.800
another star trek actor, and of course that was Robert

1406
01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:27.520
Picardo was in that next, Happy Birthday to Carl Tart,

1407
01:37:27.920 --> 01:37:33.479
writer and comedian who voiced Lieutenant Kashan in the second, third,

1408
01:37:33.640 --> 01:37:40.479
and fourth seasons of Lower Decks. Then lastly, Happy Birthday

1409
01:37:40.560 --> 01:37:45.199
to Hallie Todd. She is the actress who gave that

1410
01:37:45.439 --> 01:37:50.720
Oh my gosh, heartrending portrayal of Lall in the TNG

1411
01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:54.279
third season episode The Offspring, and a little bit of

1412
01:37:54.359 --> 01:38:00.439
trivia about her. Her mother is Anne Morgan gil Bert,

1413
01:38:00.720 --> 01:38:05.960
who got her start as Millie Helper, the neighbor on

1414
01:38:06.000 --> 01:38:09.520
The Dick Van Dyke Show. And in the first season

1415
01:38:10.279 --> 01:38:15.560
Anne was really pregnant. They wrote her pregnancy into the

1416
01:38:15.600 --> 01:38:21.039
show and she was pregnant with Hallie, and then later

1417
01:38:21.119 --> 01:38:24.720
on Anne plays that. You might remember her later on

1418
01:38:24.720 --> 01:38:28.119
on The Nanny where she plays Yeta, So there's that

1419
01:38:28.199 --> 01:38:32.479
little connection. So happy birthday to Hollie. Thanks for making

1420
01:38:32.520 --> 01:38:37.760
me cry every time I watch The Offspring. Now I'm

1421
01:38:37.800 --> 01:38:41.119
going to pass the flaming birthday candle onto Paul.

1422
01:38:43.880 --> 01:38:46.279
Thank you so much for me appreciate it. Well, I

1423
01:38:46.359 --> 01:38:48.640
must have done something right this week, because I'll tell

1424
01:38:48.680 --> 01:38:51.199
you what. My list is just full of heavy hitters.

1425
01:38:51.359 --> 01:38:54.359
I mean really, just top time flight folks. First of all,

1426
01:38:54.680 --> 01:38:59.840
let's start out here with actress Jane Badler Okay, American

1427
01:39:00.079 --> 01:39:03.399
and also Australian actress, best known for her role as

1428
01:39:03.439 --> 01:39:09.239
the evil like hamster devouring Reptilian visitor leader Milania Trump. Oh,

1429
01:39:09.920 --> 01:39:15.560
I mean, I mean, I mean evil Reptilian Visitor Leader

1430
01:39:15.880 --> 01:39:20.479
Diana excuse me as very similar consence in the NBC

1431
01:39:21.359 --> 01:39:24.279
miniseries V, which I thought was an ABC miniseries. But

1432
01:39:24.319 --> 01:39:27.880
what do I yeah, I mean, never forget that hinding

1433
01:39:27.960 --> 01:39:30.640
of the job Amster, Duribile, whatever it was. I think

1434
01:39:30.640 --> 01:39:33.960
it was Amster, and you know, just the idea that

1435
01:39:34.000 --> 01:39:36.520
we've got, you know, evil lizard people as part of

1436
01:39:36.560 --> 01:39:41.359
our conspiracy culture. And thanks to Jane Badler's performance, they

1437
01:39:41.560 --> 01:39:45.319
which casts a long shadow. Jeans V is really one

1438
01:39:45.319 --> 01:39:47.520
of those culty ones that just will not go away.

1439
01:39:48.079 --> 01:39:50.960
So but she scared a lot of folks back in

1440
01:39:51.000 --> 01:39:56.359
the day. So great to celebrate you, Jane Butler. Happy

1441
01:39:56.399 --> 01:40:00.920
birthday to Dina Meyer, actress who play Mad of course

1442
01:40:01.000 --> 01:40:08.119
Commander Dnatra in Star Trek Nemesis. She's certainly cast a big,

1443
01:40:08.279 --> 01:40:11.720
swathing shadow across science fiction, and I remember her very

1444
01:40:11.720 --> 01:40:14.159
fondly from her role as Disney Flores in the Pulver

1445
01:40:14.279 --> 01:40:18.119
Oven Starship Troopers, where she was really cool and kicked

1446
01:40:18.159 --> 01:40:20.720
all kinds of ass. So Dina Meyer is a very cool,

1447
01:40:21.399 --> 01:40:27.039
awesome individual. There done a lot of science fiction. I'm

1448
01:40:27.119 --> 01:40:29.279
just so happy to be able to wish happy birthday

1449
01:40:29.319 --> 01:40:31.520
did this individual I still can't believe I got the

1450
01:40:31.600 --> 01:40:34.479
chance to talk to him on this podcast, because there

1451
01:40:34.520 --> 01:40:36.560
are very few legends that I really look up to,

1452
01:40:36.600 --> 01:40:40.399
and this is one. And there's the great Nicholas Meyer, writer,

1453
01:40:40.880 --> 01:40:44.920
director of so many great things. Right. But of course

1454
01:40:45.159 --> 01:40:48.680
we bring him to our engineer because he wrote and

1455
01:40:48.720 --> 01:40:51.960
directed Star Trek two, The Wrath of Khan, all right,

1456
01:40:52.159 --> 01:40:56.680
and also Star Trek sixty and discovered Country, the screenplay

1457
01:40:56.720 --> 01:41:00.640
for Star Trek four, The Voyage Home, and also the

1458
01:41:00.680 --> 01:41:03.479
screenland Star Trek six. He was consulting producer for the

1459
01:41:03.520 --> 01:41:07.159
first season of Star Trek Discovery. He wrote the original

1460
01:41:07.239 --> 01:41:12.199
idea for the Star Trek Cohn drama that we just

1461
01:41:12.239 --> 01:41:12.680
really did.

1462
01:41:12.720 --> 01:41:16.520
The recently did the series of reviews of the radio podcast,

1463
01:41:16.560 --> 01:41:18.319
but it was originally designed to be like a three

1464
01:41:19.119 --> 01:41:21.960
episode mini series back in the day, and they expanded it.

1465
01:41:22.000 --> 01:41:25.279
But I will never be able to think of Nicholas

1466
01:41:25.359 --> 01:41:28.479
Meyer but not think of the wonderful film time after

1467
01:41:28.640 --> 01:41:31.600
time they he did with Malcolm McDowell, Mary Stein Virgin

1468
01:41:31.680 --> 01:41:32.680
and David Warner.

1469
01:41:32.800 --> 01:41:37.840
Amazing, so great. Nicholas Meyer just understands science fiction like

1470
01:41:37.960 --> 01:41:41.840
nobody else. He's a literary guy. He's well steeped in

1471
01:41:41.960 --> 01:41:46.920
the mythos of Sherlock Holmes. He just knows his literature

1472
01:41:46.960 --> 01:41:50.439
backwards and forwards. He's a phenomenal writer. Anything with his

1473
01:41:50.560 --> 01:41:54.399
name on it is worth seeking out and embracing. So

1474
01:41:54.640 --> 01:41:58.119
happy birthday to you, brother. It is great to know

1475
01:41:58.199 --> 01:42:01.119
that you're out there still ticking, so love your work.

1476
01:42:01.720 --> 01:42:06.520
Happy birthday to be actress aka bb Newarth, the phenomenal

1477
01:42:06.560 --> 01:42:10.319
actress who played the role of Linnelle in that hilarious,

1478
01:42:10.560 --> 01:42:15.920
unintentionally sometimes fourth season episode First Contact, of Course, but

1479
01:42:16.239 --> 01:42:18.840
indelibly thought of as Fraser Crane's wife and later ex

1480
01:42:18.840 --> 01:42:23.600
wife Lillis on the hit television series Cheers, but phenomenal

1481
01:42:23.800 --> 01:42:27.880
stage actress. I don't think she gets enough credit on there,

1482
01:42:28.239 --> 01:42:30.159
but done a lot of great work on the boards

1483
01:42:30.239 --> 01:42:35.199
as well, and tremendous theater persona, so really great. Bob

1484
01:42:35.319 --> 01:42:40.800
Newrth is just amazing performer, real strong stuff. So anything

1485
01:42:40.840 --> 01:42:44.359
with her name on I go watch. Feel particularly honored

1486
01:42:44.399 --> 01:42:47.079
to be able to say Happy birthday to American legend

1487
01:42:48.239 --> 01:42:56.079
Jane Fonda, actress activists. Her work spans genres over six

1488
01:42:56.159 --> 01:42:59.680
decades or more of American film. She's won so many accolades.

1489
01:42:59.720 --> 01:43:02.199
We could do a whole show on her, including two

1490
01:43:02.239 --> 01:43:05.880
Academy Awards to British Baptists, seven Golden Gold Awards, a

1491
01:43:05.920 --> 01:43:11.760
Primetime Emmy Award. Of course, everyone became attracted to her

1492
01:43:11.920 --> 01:43:16.600
presence of the great sci fi classic Barberrella, kind of

1493
01:43:16.640 --> 01:43:21.079
a cult you know, sensation there, but became an actress

1494
01:43:21.079 --> 01:43:26.439
you would never ever dispute in her talent. First picture

1495
01:43:26.479 --> 01:43:31.199
I ever saw and was clute, really amazing crime Saga

1496
01:43:31.279 --> 01:43:35.119
with Donald Sutherland, really fantastic. Again, she was in Like

1497
01:43:35.199 --> 01:43:38.760
Coming Home, which is just amazing. She's just done so

1498
01:43:38.840 --> 01:43:43.319
many great, great pictures over the years and never stopped

1499
01:43:43.479 --> 01:43:47.479
advocating and fighting for social justice and people's rights and

1500
01:43:47.760 --> 01:43:53.199
being an outspoken opponent to war in any form. So

1501
01:43:53.720 --> 01:43:56.359
a real role model as far as I'm concerned. And

1502
01:43:56.600 --> 01:43:58.479
I don't want to forget to mention The China Syndrome

1503
01:43:58.600 --> 01:44:01.039
as well, which is a film enough people have seen

1504
01:44:01.680 --> 01:44:05.119
of hers with her and Michael Douglas and Jack Lemon,

1505
01:44:05.159 --> 01:44:08.199
but if you've never seen The China Syndrome between it's phenomenal.

1506
01:44:08.720 --> 01:44:10.920
But what a pleasure to be able to wish her

1507
01:44:11.279 --> 01:44:14.039
happy birthday. And then this guy who I'm just a

1508
01:44:14.079 --> 01:44:15.640
huge fan of Who I Do. You just never get

1509
01:44:15.720 --> 01:44:17.880
enough of any movie this guy and is the phenomenal

1510
01:44:17.960 --> 01:44:23.640
Clancy Brown. Okay, Fancy Brown. He's so great, he's so fantastic.

1511
01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:27.880
He initially well, let's talk Star Trek first of all,

1512
01:44:27.920 --> 01:44:32.680
he played Zorb Braw in enterprise first season episode Desert Crossing.

1513
01:44:33.720 --> 01:44:35.760
He was on the series called Earth two in the

1514
01:44:35.800 --> 01:44:40.960
mid nineties playing at John Danziger. There but good gravy.

1515
01:44:41.039 --> 01:44:43.800
He's so many good things, right, and so many good things.

1516
01:44:44.000 --> 01:44:47.520
Oftentimes he would play a bad guy right where he

1517
01:44:47.600 --> 01:44:49.439
I think one of the movies where he really first

1518
01:44:49.520 --> 01:44:51.800
came that everyone's in the attention was in the first

1519
01:44:51.880 --> 01:44:55.000
Flander picture was Christopher Lambertt, right where he was the

1520
01:44:55.079 --> 01:45:00.840
villainous nemesis the code. You know, excuse when his right.

1521
01:45:00.920 --> 01:45:04.600
He's just phenomenal, but he's all the time playing bad guys.

1522
01:45:04.760 --> 01:45:04.920
Right.

1523
01:45:05.239 --> 01:45:07.800
Was all We talked about Starship Troopers a little while

1524
01:45:07.800 --> 01:45:12.520
ago with Dean Meyers. He was Sergeant Zim hilariously in

1525
01:45:12.640 --> 01:45:16.920
Starship Troopers. Right, really really amazing. You will find this

1526
01:45:17.000 --> 01:45:22.079
guy all over the Stephen King catalog. Right, amazing performer.

1527
01:45:22.479 --> 01:45:27.319
He's done tons of things. He was in Shawshank Redemption.

1528
01:45:28.000 --> 01:45:32.039
He was in Thor Ragnarok. He did the voice work

1529
01:45:32.039 --> 01:45:34.560
in that movie there as well. He's just done so

1530
01:45:34.640 --> 01:45:37.239
many good things. I mean, he's in everything and does

1531
01:45:37.279 --> 01:45:39.840
a lot of voice work as well. Gamers are familiar

1532
01:45:39.840 --> 01:45:44.520
with his voice work. But he was also very excitingly

1533
01:45:44.640 --> 01:45:50.560
he was in oh what was it where he was

1534
01:45:50.640 --> 01:45:52.880
Star Wars Rebels, Yeah, where he played the Star Wars Rebels.

1535
01:45:52.880 --> 01:45:56.479
He played a character there and then later on got

1536
01:45:56.520 --> 01:46:00.359
to come back and play that character in live action. Well,

1537
01:46:00.680 --> 01:46:04.520
so really cool. But he's just such a great performer

1538
01:46:04.600 --> 01:46:06.479
and whether it's a bad guy or a good guy.

1539
01:46:07.720 --> 01:46:10.720
Check him out in Blue Steel with Jamie Lee Curtis,

1540
01:46:10.760 --> 01:46:12.760
really great cop picture set in New York. If you've

1541
01:46:12.800 --> 01:46:15.920
never seen that, Clancy Brown is just the man. He's

1542
01:46:16.039 --> 01:46:20.479
just really, really, really cool and never fails to deliver

1543
01:46:20.600 --> 01:46:24.399
the goods. Salute your brother, you are awesome. And then,

1544
01:46:24.439 --> 01:46:27.359
finally for me, as somebody who's just had phenomenal providence

1545
01:46:27.520 --> 01:46:32.000
of the last couple of years, the absolutely luminous Genevieve O'Reilly,

1546
01:46:32.439 --> 01:46:36.319
Irish actress who played mon Mathma and first of all,

1547
01:46:36.439 --> 01:46:40.319
in Star Wars episode three, Revenge of the Sith, returned

1548
01:46:40.520 --> 01:46:43.239
to play the role again in Rogue one, a Star

1549
01:46:43.279 --> 01:46:46.920
Wars story did a bunch of animated versions of the

1550
01:46:47.000 --> 01:46:50.680
character and rebels. And then it's only in this last

1551
01:46:50.680 --> 01:46:53.239
couple of years and she's really come into like a

1552
01:46:53.399 --> 01:46:56.760
claim where people are really seeing what a titan he is.

1553
01:46:56.800 --> 01:47:00.119
Where she played the same character mon Mathma, but on

1554
01:47:00.159 --> 01:47:04.000
a Soka and in particular the ahska, what am I saying? God,

1555
01:47:04.039 --> 01:47:09.159
I'm just like starstruck here where she's in and Or

1556
01:47:09.239 --> 01:47:11.039
is what I'm trying to say. Right where she plays

1557
01:47:11.119 --> 01:47:14.119
man Matha on the great series, which just does not

1558
01:47:14.840 --> 01:47:17.279
I mean, it's won every award there is, but it

1559
01:47:17.520 --> 01:47:20.399
just can't be spoken of highly enough, especially in the

1560
01:47:20.560 --> 01:47:24.000
times we are living in. And Season two of and

1561
01:47:24.159 --> 01:47:26.520
Or really makes it clear about what the rise of

1562
01:47:26.560 --> 01:47:31.319
fascism looks like, in large part to Genevieve O'Reilly's character

1563
01:47:31.399 --> 01:47:34.359
there and the speech she makes towards the Senate warning

1564
01:47:35.079 --> 01:47:38.399
what's coming if we don't change our path. I mean,

1565
01:47:38.439 --> 01:47:41.920
it could be right out of today's headlines. It's amazing.

1566
01:47:41.960 --> 01:47:45.680
So you haven't seen and Or, If for some reason

1567
01:47:45.680 --> 01:47:47.640
you heard it was boring, you need to go check

1568
01:47:47.680 --> 01:47:52.239
your head and especially watch season two it is phenomenal

1569
01:47:52.279 --> 01:47:56.640
television of the highest freaking order. It is just absolutely legendary,

1570
01:47:56.920 --> 01:48:01.359
amazing storytelling. So Genevieve, O'Reilly, slute you and thanks for

1571
01:48:01.399 --> 01:48:04.920
being an outspoken voice for freedom in these perilous times.

1572
01:48:05.640 --> 01:48:10.359
Passing it over, Uncle Jim.

1573
01:48:09.359 --> 01:48:10.920
I thank you so much.

1574
01:48:10.960 --> 01:48:11.520
Paul.

1575
01:48:11.640 --> 01:48:14.279
You know I usually do the Klingons, but I've got

1576
01:48:14.319 --> 01:48:18.680
two special special ladies on my list and two of

1577
01:48:18.720 --> 01:48:22.239
my favorite movies, two of my favorite actresses. I want

1578
01:48:22.279 --> 01:48:27.720
to start off by wishing Jenny Augator a happy birthday.

1579
01:48:28.159 --> 01:48:32.159
And Jenny Augator best known for two movies which are

1580
01:48:32.199 --> 01:48:35.840
two of my all time favorite movies. An American Werewolf

1581
01:48:35.880 --> 01:48:39.199
in London, where she played Nurse Price she was nominated

1582
01:48:39.239 --> 01:48:43.680
for a Saturn Award for Best Actress, and Jessica six

1583
01:48:43.960 --> 01:48:48.920
in Logan's Run. In fact, Logan's Run was the first

1584
01:48:49.039 --> 01:48:51.800
real sci fi movie that I saw. I saw obviously

1585
01:48:51.840 --> 01:48:55.560
before Star Wars at the drive in theater with my parents.

1586
01:48:56.640 --> 01:49:02.079
Loved Logan's Run, Love American Werewolf in London, And I

1587
01:49:02.159 --> 01:49:05.439
wish her a happy birthday. I just I just crushed

1588
01:49:05.479 --> 01:49:08.800
on her as a kid. She was just all of that.

1589
01:49:10.119 --> 01:49:15.479
Happy Happy birthday, Jenny Augater Jessica sid And the next

1590
01:49:15.600 --> 01:49:18.079
on my list is another one that come on. If

1591
01:49:18.119 --> 01:49:21.760
you were a kid growing up in the seventies and

1592
01:49:21.800 --> 01:49:24.760
you didn't crush on Aaron Gray from Buck Rogers, I

1593
01:49:24.800 --> 01:49:27.439
don't know what was wrong with you, because running around

1594
01:49:27.479 --> 01:49:30.319
in that tight white satin suit with it with the

1595
01:49:30.399 --> 01:49:33.199
helmet on and buying her stuff fight along with Buck

1596
01:49:33.279 --> 01:49:38.119
Rogers and Tweaky, I just absolutely incredible. I met her

1597
01:49:38.159 --> 01:49:42.119
at a convention. She was she was great, and I

1598
01:49:42.199 --> 01:49:46.840
just love Aaron Gray. So Happy birthday to Aaron Gray

1599
01:49:46.880 --> 01:49:50.680
as Colonel Wilma Deering and Buck Rodgers only season one,

1600
01:49:50.720 --> 01:49:53.960
though season two they turned her into a stewardess and

1601
01:49:54.039 --> 01:49:56.960
she didn't get to fly to Fighter around and skip

1602
01:49:57.000 --> 01:50:02.600
season two season one absolutely awesome. And last on my list,

1603
01:50:02.640 --> 01:50:05.800
we are going to delve into Klingon territory. We want

1604
01:50:05.840 --> 01:50:08.439
to say happy or not happy birthday. Want to say

1605
01:50:08.439 --> 01:50:13.079
ala to Brett Porter. And of course he played General

1606
01:50:13.159 --> 01:50:16.960
Stix in Star Trek six, The Undiscovered Country, The One

1607
01:50:17.159 --> 01:50:20.399
Armed Klingon. He's the guy that gets his arm blown

1608
01:50:20.439 --> 01:50:24.119
off on the transporter. He's in front of the transporter

1609
01:50:24.239 --> 01:50:26.359
pad gets his arm blown off in there. We can

1610
01:50:26.359 --> 01:50:29.640
see him in the picture with one arm. Is a

1611
01:50:29.720 --> 01:50:32.600
klingon with one arm? Is that an honorable thing? Or

1612
01:50:32.600 --> 01:50:35.439
would they off him because he's weak and can't defend himself.

1613
01:50:35.600 --> 01:50:36.880
I don't know, but.

1614
01:50:38.640 --> 01:50:41.479
Normally off him. And that's actually I believe discussed just

1615
01:50:41.520 --> 01:50:43.239
a little bit in the movie. He has a line

1616
01:50:43.239 --> 01:50:44.680
where he says something about that.

1617
01:50:45.560 --> 01:50:47.600
Yeah, I think he would have been off. But at

1618
01:50:47.640 --> 01:50:52.159
any rate, great character, great movie. Happy birthday to Brett Porter,

1619
01:50:52.640 --> 01:50:56.000
and that, my friends, believe it or not, wraps up

1620
01:50:56.000 --> 01:50:59.840
our Star Trek birthdays. And now it's time to move

1621
01:50:59.880 --> 01:51:02.359
onto our Star Trek news.

1622
01:51:04.159 --> 01:51:07.720

A blank alert, A blank alert.

1630
01:51:29.399 --> 01:51:32.960
All right, Eric, you've got our first news story this week,

1631
01:51:33.039 --> 01:51:36.079
and it's not a Shatner says, what this is?

1632
01:51:36.279 --> 01:51:38.600
This one is so funny because this news story literally

1633
01:51:38.640 --> 01:51:40.800
came out the day after a friend of mine was like,

1634
01:51:41.279 --> 01:51:42.880
do you think we're ever going to see bones on

1635
01:51:42.960 --> 01:51:45.560
strange New Worlds? And I was like, I don't think so, man.

1636
01:51:45.640 --> 01:51:47.920
We still got like you know, we got to go

1637
01:51:47.920 --> 01:51:49.840
through the other doctor and all that kind of I

1638
01:51:49.840 --> 01:51:52.159
don't think we're well. Turns out it was completely wrong

1639
01:51:52.199 --> 01:51:55.720
because Star Trek's Strange New Worlds casts Sulu and Bones

1640
01:51:56.359 --> 01:52:00.760
for the series finale. Heikuro Sulu and Leonard Bones McCoy, to,

1641
01:52:01.199 --> 01:52:04.640
iconic characters from the original Star Trek series, will make

1642
01:52:04.840 --> 01:52:07.680
their first appearances in Star Trek's Strange New Worlds during

1643
01:52:07.680 --> 01:52:11.680
the finale of the fifth and final season. Thomas Jane

1644
01:52:11.840 --> 01:52:15.920
will play Bones and Kai Murakami will play Sulu in

1645
01:52:15.960 --> 01:52:19.800
the episode, which recently wrapped production. Jane's credits and film

1646
01:52:19.880 --> 01:52:22.760
include Boogie Knight's Deep Blue cy The Punisher, and The Mist.

1647
01:52:23.119 --> 01:52:26.680
His TV work has included HBO's Hung Sci Fi and

1648
01:52:26.760 --> 01:52:32.239
later Amazon Primes videos The Expanse and Amazon's Tropo, which

1649
01:52:32.239 --> 01:52:36.560
he also executively produced. Markami is making his TV debut

1650
01:52:36.600 --> 01:52:39.720
and Strange New Worlds. Previously, he's acted on stage with

1651
01:52:39.760 --> 01:52:43.119
the Royal Shakespeare Company and worked in performance capture on

1652
01:52:43.159 --> 01:52:49.119
the video game Assassin's Kreed Creed and Rise of the Ronan.

1653
01:52:50.479 --> 01:52:53.720
I don't get the Leonard McCoy thing because we still

1654
01:52:53.760 --> 01:52:56.520
have Phil Boyce, who is actually the first Doctor that

1655
01:52:56.600 --> 01:52:58.840
we see, and so we either got a skip forward

1656
01:52:59.000 --> 01:53:01.439
or we've got a bones. It's not actually on the ship,

1657
01:53:01.840 --> 01:53:04.880
that's my guess. Anyway, we got bones in a Sulu.

1658
01:53:05.279 --> 01:53:12.039
Carry on? Am I wrong about the phil boys thing like?

1659
01:53:12.079 --> 01:53:13.640
We shouldn't be seeing bones yet? Right?

1660
01:53:14.680 --> 01:53:17.640
Well, we don't know. We're initially jumping right into Kirk

1661
01:53:17.720 --> 01:53:20.520
in command at the end, right, I mean, they could

1662
01:53:20.560 --> 01:53:22.960
be all going off their separate ways for a year

1663
01:53:23.079 --> 01:53:28.319
or two and we just continue on with the you know, uh,

1664
01:53:28.600 --> 01:53:31.239
you know, we don't know. So it's it's we don't

1665
01:53:31.279 --> 01:53:32.880
know what they're gonna do. I'm sure they'll address it.

1666
01:53:33.680 --> 01:53:37.520
Uh didn't they address in Discovery that the cage had

1667
01:53:37.600 --> 01:53:44.000
already passed? The cage has already occurred in in it,

1668
01:53:44.119 --> 01:53:46.920
So that's he's long past gone.

1669
01:53:50.880 --> 01:53:57.279
Because I don't know about that now, all right, Paul,

1670
01:53:57.399 --> 01:53:59.520
you've got our next story, all.

1671
01:53:59.520 --> 01:54:01.840
Right, man, real quick breaking news. I don't know, folks

1672
01:54:01.880 --> 01:54:06.039
follow Rotten Tomatoes, the wonderful agget site on there. It's

1673
01:54:06.079 --> 01:54:09.319
very popular, but just breaking right now. Starfleet Academy is

1674
01:54:09.359 --> 01:54:14.279
currently holding steady at eighty one percent fresh good news

1675
01:54:14.560 --> 01:54:18.000
for next week. Eighty one percent is a high rating,

1676
01:54:18.119 --> 01:54:20.720
so We'll see what happens once all the right workers

1677
01:54:20.720 --> 01:54:23.159
get on there and start review bombing things. Right, they

1678
01:54:23.159 --> 01:54:26.840
don't lack people with colors on their face, so we'll

1679
01:54:26.840 --> 01:54:28.840
see what happens with that. But still I want to

1680
01:54:29.039 --> 01:54:32.439
point out that before we get the you know, the

1681
01:54:32.439 --> 01:54:36.039
peanut gallery weighing in, it is a fresh eighty one percent,

1682
01:54:36.079 --> 01:54:50.720
which is worth Yeah, okay, I.

1683
01:54:50.720 --> 01:54:52.720
Did freeze for a minute, but okay, I think we

1684
01:54:52.760 --> 01:54:53.199
can hear you.

1685
01:54:53.439 --> 01:54:55.520
Okay, good. Something went on there. I don't know what

1686
01:54:55.560 --> 01:54:58.840
that was. Riverside didn't pay their bill Nicell Toy Company.

1687
01:54:59.079 --> 01:55:00.920
It's a slight delay on Wave one of those Star

1688
01:55:00.960 --> 01:55:05.399
Trek Action figures after unexpected manufacturing and transit quality problems.

1689
01:55:05.920 --> 01:55:08.640
NA Cell Company was happily telling American collectors that their

1690
01:55:08.680 --> 01:55:11.720
long awaited first wave of Star Trek Action figures we're

1691
01:55:11.720 --> 01:55:14.439
on track to arrive in the US for distribution before

1692
01:55:14.720 --> 01:55:18.000
the holidays. But now they're sharing some disappointing news for

1693
01:55:18.039 --> 01:55:21.800
those eagerly awaiting and delivery. The Cell President CEO, Brian

1694
01:55:21.880 --> 01:55:25.560
Volkwei said in a video, Unfortunately, we started shipping Star

1695
01:55:25.600 --> 01:55:28.079
Trek Wave one figures on Wednesday, and even though we

1696
01:55:28.119 --> 01:55:30.199
did our inspections and we looked at about ten percent

1697
01:55:30.239 --> 01:55:33.880
of the entire shipment and everything looked great. It turns out,

1698
01:55:33.960 --> 01:55:36.119
and we're still trying to find out why. We've been

1699
01:55:36.119 --> 01:55:38.079
told by the shipping company that one of the containers

1700
01:55:38.279 --> 01:55:41.439
got too hot and that made some of the plastic

1701
01:55:41.760 --> 01:55:46.319
expand oh dear, we definitely have some sort of quality

1702
01:55:46.319 --> 01:55:48.319
control issue, and I would rather be late and send

1703
01:55:48.319 --> 01:55:50.680
you bad news and have a QC issue. We're going

1704
01:55:50.720 --> 01:55:53.560
to stop shipping as of today, fix a QC issue,

1705
01:55:53.560 --> 01:55:55.720
which we believe will take it the most thirty days.

1706
01:55:56.039 --> 01:56:00.039
Hopefully we'll take fourteen days and then resume shipping. This

1707
01:56:00.159 --> 01:56:01.920
isn't the news you wanted to hear. It's certainly not

1708
01:56:02.000 --> 01:56:04.079
the news I wanted to give you, but it's the truth.

1709
01:56:04.359 --> 01:56:06.399
And if there's anything I've learned from collecting toys and

1710
01:56:06.439 --> 01:56:10.159
buying products myself. You want the company giving you your money,

1711
01:56:10.560 --> 01:56:13.920
You're giving your money to be honest, So I'm being

1712
01:56:14.000 --> 01:56:17.399
honest with you. This is Brian Bulkwise talking right. I've

1713
01:56:17.439 --> 01:56:19.600
never had to make a video like this before, so

1714
01:56:19.640 --> 01:56:23.720
I want to look you all in the eyes, apologize

1715
01:56:23.960 --> 01:56:26.000
and say I'm sorry this has happened, and we are

1716
01:56:26.079 --> 01:56:28.760
fixing it, so there will be a delay, and for

1717
01:56:28.800 --> 01:56:31.600
anybody who's received figures, we will obviously replace what you

1718
01:56:31.680 --> 01:56:33.960
were sent and put in some bodies as well. Again,

1719
01:56:34.039 --> 01:56:35.920
my apologies, but I just wanted to look you in

1720
01:56:35.920 --> 01:56:37.760
the eye and tell you there's a problem and we

1721
01:56:37.800 --> 01:56:41.720
are fixing that problem. While certainly disappointing news for those

1722
01:56:41.720 --> 01:56:43.560
who are hoping to have the Wave one figures rout

1723
01:56:43.640 --> 01:56:47.199
and ready under the Christmas trees, it is rather for

1724
01:56:47.239 --> 01:56:49.960
a company to be so open about a bory, challenging

1725
01:56:50.000 --> 01:56:55.279
issue like this. So this sense continues. Yeah, so he's

1726
01:56:55.319 --> 01:56:58.239
doing the right thing right, and he's being transparent about it.

1727
01:56:58.720 --> 01:57:03.079
And because you do, reception of that first wave will

1728
01:57:03.079 --> 01:57:05.920
color every wave that is to follow. And I would

1729
01:57:05.920 --> 01:57:09.680
really like to see these figures, you know, help relaunch

1730
01:57:09.840 --> 01:57:14.800
Star Trek collecting enthusiasm again, because he's defining these waves

1731
01:57:14.800 --> 01:57:17.079
by deep, deep cuts and if we really want to

1732
01:57:17.119 --> 01:57:20.600
fill some long open gaps in our collections, we need

1733
01:57:20.640 --> 01:57:26.119
to support this uh line and see it succeed. Would

1734
01:57:26.159 --> 01:57:27.239
love to get him on the show.

1735
01:57:29.399 --> 01:57:34.319
I wonder what kind of good is he talking about?

1736
01:57:35.000 --> 01:57:38.119
Plastic expanded? Do you have just like like it looks

1737
01:57:38.159 --> 01:57:42.600
like the incredible hulk or something to disclose wells.

1738
01:57:42.720 --> 01:57:44.520
You know a lot of depending on what you use.

1739
01:57:44.680 --> 01:57:48.279
Me plastic will like if you have like action figures

1740
01:57:48.279 --> 01:57:50.760
and like the joints are tough, right. Everyone always heard

1741
01:57:50.800 --> 01:57:53.720
about that, like companies like Nika and whatnot, that he's

1742
01:57:53.800 --> 01:57:56.000
really hard plastic and you got to heat it up

1743
01:57:56.319 --> 01:57:59.079
right and soften it with either you know, putting in

1744
01:57:59.119 --> 01:58:01.760
boiling water air dryer before you can manipulate them, or

1745
01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:04.039
they'll break sometimes. And if you're going to be like

1746
01:58:04.079 --> 01:58:07.800
exchanging hands or you know multiple like figures of different

1747
01:58:07.800 --> 01:58:09.119
heads and stuff, you got to heat it up a

1748
01:58:09.159 --> 01:58:11.399
little bit to make them the plastic more ap pliable.

1749
01:58:11.720 --> 01:58:14.720
So it sounds like maybe these shipping containers were exposed

1750
01:58:14.760 --> 01:58:18.800
to like a really unusual prolonged period of heat or

1751
01:58:18.840 --> 01:58:20.720
something like that might be, and it just made the

1752
01:58:20.760 --> 01:58:21.239
whole thing.

1753
01:58:21.399 --> 01:58:22.760
Could could has.

1754
01:58:22.640 --> 01:58:26.359
It has a really big just to get science, he

1755
01:58:26.399 --> 01:58:29.239
has a really big coefficient, a thermal expansion, so they

1756
01:58:29.479 --> 01:58:32.800
like it expands way more with temperature changes than even metal.

1757
01:58:33.119 --> 01:58:35.039
Does you know they could? They could?

1758
01:58:35.520 --> 01:58:38.159
So I want to see pictures. I want to see pictures.

1759
01:58:37.920 --> 01:58:38.520
Of what it looks like.

1760
01:58:38.680 --> 01:58:41.920
I think they could re label them and sell them

1761
01:58:42.000 --> 01:58:44.720
as you know star Trek characters that have been in

1762
01:58:44.960 --> 01:58:46.680
the transporter accident.

1763
01:58:49.760 --> 01:58:51.479
You know, we all have to do some internet slew

1764
01:58:51.560 --> 01:58:55.039
thing perhaps this week and see what's out there. But

1765
01:58:55.319 --> 01:58:57.760
clearly somebody got something weren't so happy with, right, and

1766
01:58:58.239 --> 01:59:02.399
so it's interesting, tough business, tough economy, but we'll see.

1767
01:59:02.439 --> 01:59:04.199
I certainly wish him the best, and I really hope

1768
01:59:04.199 --> 01:59:07.479
this line takes off and succeeds. So we still see

1769
01:59:07.600 --> 01:59:09.560
to be continued as they say.

1770
01:59:10.399 --> 01:59:12.800
Well speaking of to be continued.

1771
01:59:13.560 --> 01:59:13.680
Uh.

1772
01:59:14.119 --> 01:59:17.720
That wraps up another awesome podcast of Trek Talking and

1773
01:59:17.800 --> 01:59:21.640
beyond hard to believe, but it is over, but we

1774
01:59:21.720 --> 01:59:24.399
will be back next week, same bad time, same back

1775
01:59:24.520 --> 01:59:27.399
channel with an awesome guest. Margaret whider Camp is going

1776
01:59:27.439 --> 01:59:30.279
to be with us and I'm looking forward to talking

1777
01:59:30.319 --> 01:59:33.960
to her. And I'm your most excellent host, Uncle Jim,

1778
01:59:34.000 --> 01:59:35.880
and I want to say thank you to V for

1779
01:59:35.920 --> 01:59:37.680
hanging out with us, and I thank you. V.

1780
01:59:38.239 --> 01:59:42.039
Great to be here as always, I kind of missed

1781
01:59:42.079 --> 01:59:44.399
you all for you know, being off for two weeks.

1782
01:59:44.479 --> 01:59:48.319
It's like I didn't have anybody to joke with or

1783
01:59:48.840 --> 01:59:52.600
you know, say wildly inappropriate things and all that.

1784
01:59:52.800 --> 01:59:59.000
So who else you didn't see your sparkle pace pads.

1785
02:00:02.199 --> 02:00:04.720
I might have, but that's I'm not telling.

1786
02:00:08.159 --> 02:00:10.159
And also we want to say thank you to Paul

1787
02:00:10.239 --> 02:00:13.439
the Toy guy for hanging out Shrek talking with us tonight.

1788
02:00:13.520 --> 02:00:14.840
Thank you so much, Paul.

1789
02:00:15.039 --> 02:00:17.239
A pleasure man. It's great to be back. And if

1790
02:00:17.239 --> 02:00:19.079
we run out of things to talk about, which I

1791
02:00:19.079 --> 02:00:21.399
don't think we will start for the Academy coming, but boy,

1792
02:00:21.399 --> 02:00:23.520
I'd sure love to sit down and hear everybody's take

1793
02:00:23.600 --> 02:00:26.439
on the final episode of Stranger Things at some point.

1794
02:00:26.520 --> 02:00:30.039
I think that would be really fun, so it definitely

1795
02:00:30.319 --> 02:00:32.319
is worth worth addressing at some point.

1796
02:00:33.119 --> 02:00:36.079
Is there any truth to the Secret ninth episode? Or

1797
02:00:36.119 --> 02:00:37.760
is that just internet garbage?

1798
02:00:38.399 --> 02:00:44.840
It is as true as a Republican talking about Yeah,

1799
02:00:44.880 --> 02:00:49.439
that answers my question right, Absolutely, absolutely nonsense, it's qing

1800
02:00:49.520 --> 02:00:50.039
on bullshit.

1801
02:00:50.119 --> 02:00:51.399
There is nothing at all.

1802
02:00:51.760 --> 02:00:54.279
Yeah, there is no there, There there is.

1803
02:00:54.800 --> 02:00:57.479
All, right, And thank you so much to Eric as

1804
02:00:57.479 --> 02:00:59.600
well for hanging out and Shrek talking with us tonight.

1805
02:00:59.680 --> 02:01:03.680
Thank you, Eric, absolutely, And I agree with the nobody

1806
02:01:03.720 --> 02:01:06.000
nerds harder than you guys, and I needed it tonight.

1807
02:01:08.800 --> 02:01:10.800
We had two weeks off then we came back for

1808
02:01:10.840 --> 02:01:13.560
a week and we were off for two more weeks.

1809
02:01:14.079 --> 02:01:17.319
But now we have a nice long stretch so it'll

1810
02:01:17.319 --> 02:01:19.680
be fun. And of course thank you to Charles for

1811
02:01:19.720 --> 02:01:21.520
hanging out with us as well. Thank you so much

1812
02:01:21.560 --> 02:01:22.680
for joining us. Charles.

1813
02:01:22.880 --> 02:01:26.640
Oh, I concur with the nerding nerding part of it.

1814
02:01:26.800 --> 02:01:27.560
I had missed that.

1815
02:01:30.680 --> 02:01:33.359
It is It is fun. That's it's true. Yes, And

1816
02:01:33.439 --> 02:01:36.439
of course our miracle worker David who puts together all

1817
02:01:36.479 --> 02:01:39.880
these powesome videos and graphics that you guys are seeing

1818
02:01:40.079 --> 02:01:43.279
on the screen. If you're every single one of our patrons,

1819
