Well, I gotta say I'm surprised that the dancing skeleton

14
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.120
showed up. And I'm surprised for two reasons. First of all,

15
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.000
I didn't do that so that we don't have David

16
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.079
with us. And I pushed the button for the audio

17
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:45.879
and some magical the video showed up. It's just incredible,

18
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.840
So hopefully the rest of the show goes that easy.

19
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:55.040
I'm shocked. I'm shocked. Anyways, guys, welcome the Truk Talking

22
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:05.680
believe it or not, and as Thursday January twenty ninth,

23
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.800
twenty twenty six, we were supposed to have Gabrielle Ruez

24
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.719

00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.240
mugs right here, and we're gonna be talking about Starfleet

26
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.439
Academy instead, so that's totally fine with me. Before we

27
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.120
get too far, though, I would like to introduce my awesome,

28
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.240
my incredible crew, my Trexperts from abroad. We'll start off

29
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.560
with Eric, who is not out in parentlindtonight, but he

30
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.400

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:32.039
good day here today, so I think trending upward, so

46
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:33.039
looking forward to it.

47
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.240
Well, you know, speaking of the weather, we only got

48
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.759
two feet of snow, which is pretty cool. And it's

49
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:45.000
only eighteen hole zero. That's pretty cool as well. It's

50
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.840
going to be below zero for the next couple of

51
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.599
days anyway, So yeah, whatever.

52
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.840
Ill and I had, I had put this in the chat,

53
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.800
but our good friend Chris GM. Chris texted me and

54
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.719
told me that up in turn Toronto they were going

55
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.240
to experience minus forty two, which, as everybody knows, is

56
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:10.560
the point at which celsius and fahrenheit actually cross over

57
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.400
on the temperature scale. So ridiculously, ridiculously, So.

58
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.480
You know how they say that boiling water freeze and

59
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.680
turned to snow to throw it up in the air. Yeah,

60
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.439
I saw some idiot that tried that and guess what

61
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:26.240
it did turn to?

62
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.800
You know what darwinism, man Darwin.

63
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:42.519

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:47.600
am stuffy and I've got tissues. We are. Yeah, we're

65
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:53.199
having some unusual weather. We had snow followed by ice,

66
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.040
the kind that falls down from the sky and we're

67
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.480
not used to that, and luckily we loose power, but

68
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.120
it's been really cold. Stuff hasn't really been able to melt.

69
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.360
We get down into the teens at night, and then

70
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:15.600
this weekend we have another winter storm warning. So yay, but.

71
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:22.160
Just amazing, isn't it. Yeah, well, you know, also we

72
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.120
have with us also was out in Las Vegas, where

73
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:29.120
I'm sure you don't have to be the snow, we've.

74
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.920
Been dealing with about a half an inch to several

75
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:41.600
inches of sun, so we get We dropped for a

76
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.959
couple of days into the thirties in the morning, six

77
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.759
fifth high fifties, now in the sixties in the afternoon.

78
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.199
So yeah, we kind of we kind of escaped the

79
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.360
snowstorm and the big cold front coming through.

80
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:06.560
That's cool. Well, that's try. So even though Gabrielle did

81
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.319
cancel for tonight, we're in the process of rescheduling that

82
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.240
for you guys, and I will let you guys, I

83
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.000
was hoping to have that information for you tonight, but

84
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.000
I didn't hit back from agent for the show, but

85
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.160
I will let you know that Adam me and Why

86

So barring any emergency cancelations for that, we are going

88
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.279

But I will tell you that this person has listed

118
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.600
two places, so I'm guessing that they are in one

119
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:24.160
or the other, or maybe perhaps betwixt. But Claudia Mercaldi,

120
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.439

164
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.600
who's on your list?

165
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.840
Thank you, Charles. Well, let's see who we've got here,

166
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:33.759
We've got all kinds of different spots, and I know

167
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:40.240
that Eric keeps track of a vast geographical database of

168
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.440
like where we've heard from fans from. I'm not sure

169
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.320
if this is the first or not, but first of all,

170
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.799
we're getting a greetings sent to us from Alain and

171
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:55.519
they say hello from Guspasia. Okay, and I might be

172
00:11:55.559 --> 00:12:01.679
pronouncing that wrong. Guspasia is a peninsula very sparsely populated

173
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.279
in eastern Quebec in Canada. So I don't know if

174
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.399
we've ever heard from anybody out there on that particular

175
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:14.159
lighthouse for student peninsula before, but it is what is

176
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.240
supposedly quite the national park out there, and a real

177
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:23.039
natural destination, so pretty amazing. So how wonderful to hear

178
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.159
from you, Elaine. I don't think we've heard from anybody

179
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.919
up in your neck of the winds before, so pretty spectacular.

180
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:32.960
Thanks for being a fan and saying hello. Swifting ourselves

181
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.679
over to the bottom of the other hemispheres. Let's go

182
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.120
over to Australia. With the flag furling proudly. There, Tom

183
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.840
hinter Burger is saying hello, live long and prospering us,

184
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.919
if you know what I'm saying, and Tom's all the

185
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.919
way down there where the water goes around the drain

186
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.200
in the other direction, which is pretty crazy proof if

187
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.600
you need it, that we not only have magnetic poles

188
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.799
but live on a giant sphere, which is crazy, so

189
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:02.440
very cool, Tom an excellent place live. Our next fan

190
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.200
is saying elo to us from the phenomenal land of Israel.

191
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.440
My Hebrew translation skills are a little rusty, but I

192
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:14.440
believe this individual's name is Oran Goldman. I know there

193
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:16.879
are some letters of the Hebrew alphabet that could be

194
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:21.480
translated differently, and so that could be potentially Lauren Goldman,

195
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:25.720
so I'm hoping I'm not doing that, misservice, but I

196
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:28.679
believe it's Oran Goldman who is saying hello to us

197
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.159
from the country of Israel. So wonderful, wonderful to hear

198
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.399
from you, and thank you so much for sharing enthusiasm

199
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.960
for all things trek related. And then let's go back

200
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:43.919
over to the UK if we can over to Europe,

201
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:48.799
and we're going to go to the village of Saint

202
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:59.159
Helen's UK. Saint Helens is about midway between Liverpool and Manchester,

203
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.639
if I'm not mistaken, but kind of right in the

204
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.240
very industrial area, isn't it recollect right and within the

205
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.639
borough of Saint Helens. Our friend Alex Shipham tells us

206
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:14.039
that there is a village called Vulcan Village, if you will,

207
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.919
so you learn a lot of things about the name,

208
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.799
origins and spots. So you know, we always hear about

209
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.600
places related to you know, Iowa and Captain Kirker, what

210
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.559
have you. But there's a Vulcan village right in the UK, Alex,

211
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:29.159
So thanks for letting us know about that. And it's

212
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:31.600
great to see that we have so many like minded

213
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.000
Star Trek fans, proving we have a lot in common

214
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.279
all over the planet, which I take great heart in

215
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.159
whenever we can. So that's what I got. Let's go

216
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:39.960
over to Uncle Jim.

217
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.399
Well, thank you, thank you so much. Paul. I like

218
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.080
to start off by saying thank you to William Stewart,

219
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.759
who's listening to us in Roswell, New Mexico area fifty

220
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.559
one NATO run. Yeah. I hope, I hope Williams didn't

221
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.519
take part in that. We also want to say thank

222
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:03.159
you to I can't read this. There we go. My

223
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.080
eyes are old, and I tell you what can I

224
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.600
tell you? Mike suck money from Cleveland. Thank you, Mike.

225
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.080
We also want to say thank you to Terry Marvin

226
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:15.759
who's listening to us in Dallas, Texas. And last but

227
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:20.519
not least, Jose Farmer, who says Jose is from the deepest,

228
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.200
darkest Indiana. Interesting.

229
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.240
It's pretty sure, Jim, that I have actually been there.

230
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:30.600
Is it deep and dark?

231
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.720
Well, from a certain perspective.

232
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:46.039
Yes, cryptic, I don't want to offend anybody.

233
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.039
Excellent, excellent, excellent. So this is the part of the

234
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:53.679
show where we would go on over and have Charles

235
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.200
do our cadet training. We have no fancy graphic for

236
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.440
this either, because David has that on his computer, so

237
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:05.279
we have to suffer and have child just jump into

238
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:06.120
a cadet training.

239
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.440
Okay, thank you, Uncle Jim. As a reminder of cadet

240
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.200
training is where we go I go through and review

241
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.399
different Star Trek episodes that are connected tonight's show in

242
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:23.399
some way or another. As an example, we saw the

243
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:31.360
cadets in training in the gym well Discovery, let's a

244
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:36.159
season one episode six. We saw Tilly working out towards

245
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:43.039
her command training, and then I don't think I've seen

246
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:48.559
this episode. I'm sure Eric has the animated series The

247
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.600
Practical Joker Is season two, episode three, which the picture

248
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.559
I saw was something about Kirk is a jerk written

249
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.360
on the back of his shirt, so I says the

250
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:01.919
episode probably was based.

251
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:04.160
On a lot of practical jokes.

252
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:10.960
Oh, and we talk about different games that they're playing. Well,

253
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.839
the one that came to mind was TNG's Future Imperfect

254
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:19.519
season four episode eight, the first time we saw Pereze

255
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:26.440
Squares being played, and then definitely a couple of fun

256
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:31.759
ones in here, ts Private Little War season two episode nineteen,

257
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:41.039
and Lower Dix Magatu Uh Magatu Gomoto season two episode four,

258
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.680
where we see the Magatu and that of course is

259
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:55.480
the mascot for the Military Academy and TNG the Most

260
00:17:55.519 --> 00:18:01.160
Toys These season three episode twenty two, where we saw

261
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:05.759
the Lapling, which is a small furry creature which is

262
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:10.680
a mascot for the Academy, And those are the things

263
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.000
I kind of picked out for this episode. So I

264
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:16.599
think Paul might want to talk about this episode.

265
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.559
All right, friends, let's do a little recapping of this.

266
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.640
Just I'm hoping that everybody listening got a chance to

267
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.759
see the episode. All Right, We've had our the first

268
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.279
week with a two episode premiere. This is episode number three.

269
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.039
We're getting to here now things change up a little bit.

270
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:40.759
The episodes titled Vitus Reflux all Right, which kind of

271
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:43.720
almost sounds like it would be a lower Decks title,

272
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.920
if you will. But with episode three here the focus

273
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:53.160
shifts away from bigger galactic crises to more of the

274
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:56.920
smaller internal growing pains of the cadets as they engage

275
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.079
in kind of a high stakes prank war, if you will,

276
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.559
with the rival school, the War College at Starfleet Academy.

277
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:08.359
So there's that conflict between the classes there almost you know,

278
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.119
you're kind of getting up and walking next up to

279
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.839
like the Gryffindor Slytherin type of if you were hard

280
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.039
to avoid thinking of that. So there is a rivalry

281
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.759
against students from the War College. They are an institution

282
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.799
that prioritizes combat readiness during the era of the Burn

283
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.039
while Starfleet Academy was closed. So it's important to consider

284
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.839
that so real quick, just kind of go through the episode.

285
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.759
We start off with Darren and he is determined to

286
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:37.799
be the best he could possibly be, getting up in

287
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:39.599
the middle of the night to be the first one awake,

288
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.960
only to find out that Genesis has beat him to it,

289
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.599
and he is getting up even earlier than he is

290
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:52.480
the gymnasium. This rivalry between the two schools starts to

291
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.960
a little tense and we hear that the War College

292
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.640
folks have earned the moniker of the warholes really and

293
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:05.160
provoke our protagonist Caleb with a big basketball to the head,

294
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:08.200
and of course our cadet master has to break things

295
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:12.119
up with her usual a plum there and things gradually

296
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:14.079
escalate and we realize we're getting into a full on

297
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.599
prank war when all of the cadets get beamed into

298
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:20.799
the different locations that are usually water based of the school,

299
00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:23.880
like fountains or what have you, in various states of undress.

300
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:27.640
So Thoc is concerned about this prank war and goes

301
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:31.000
to captain Ake, but she says, it's not really my

302
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.680
place to shut this down. These are all kids who've

303
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.720
kind of, you know, come of age during the burn,

304
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.240
and it's kind of up to them to figure things

305
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:40.960
out and work it out amongst themselves, which is a

306
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.440
very enlightened. I thought that was really great. She does

307
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:46.640
kind of take a moment to take her favorite group

308
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:49.599
of cadets, you know, our heroes to a little lesson

309
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:55.599
in botany, including a rep introduction to the titular plant

310
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.839
in question. Here, the Vitis reflex, this cute little fungus

311
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.160
that will actually repeat whatever is said to it in

312
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:03.799
a high pitched, kind of cartoony voice, which is interesting.

313
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.960
A centerpiece of this episode is all the cadets trying

314
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:10.319
out for a game called Calika Okay, and the respective

315
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:14.079
Calika teams except for Klingon jaden Den, who doesn't participate

316
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:16.920
in violent stuff, so he's going to set this one out.

317
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.480
But there's a you know a little bit of a

318
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:23.599
rivalry to see who's going to be captain of the team.

319
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:29.039
Of course that ends up becoming, you know, another competition

320
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:32.279
going on there, and we got a really cool briefing

321
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:35.759
about the rules of this. It's kind of like basically

322
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.839
live action laser tag is really what Kalika is kind

323
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:42.880
of like. One of the characters even refers to it

324
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:47.359
as that. And both teams have a mascot that's sort

325
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.400
of like the equivalent of goalie, in which case the

326
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:54.039
War College uses the Magato as Charles referred to, and

327
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:59.759
the Lappling is the hilarious giant headed mascot costume for

328
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:03.799
the academy, So everybody wants to be captain of the team, right,

329
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.519
So Darren and Genesis face off in the showdown and

330
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:09.039
he kind of Darren kind of cheats and uses reference

331
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.559
to Genesis's daddy issues to kind of rile her up

332
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.039
and take the team captain spot. Except he's not such

333
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:20.880
a great captain, is the problem. Caleb takes a little

334
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.640
moment to kind of reconnect with Tarima when he sees

335
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:26.880
her practicing and playing basketball there, and there's a little

336
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.400
bit of you know, coolness now between them. She's trying

337
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.880
to be more disciplined, right, and she kind of treats

338
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:36.880
him like a stranger. There's a blooper reel of all

339
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:40.880
the cadets on the Kalka Field that gets viral and

340
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:44.640
broadcasted throughout the academy, and Ake goes to the commander

341
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:47.559
kellek or Kel rec rather he's head of the War College,

342
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:49.720
and says, hey, you know, this couldn't have even gotten

343
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.039
out without your help, So you're kind of cheating things here,

344
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:53.960
and he doesn't really care. He's where there was weird

345
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.359
tea rituals and whatnot, right, So things keep escalating and

346
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:01.119
eventually you gotta each ange is the War College gang

347
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.480
to a secret late night mench in the atrium, right,

348
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.559
which they have very little chance of winning. Darham outlines

349
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.720
his plan to be really aggressive, right, but he doesn't

350
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:13.839
really listen to his teammates. He doesn't listen to Genesis,

351
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:17.599
who gives good advice, right, and he gets taken out

352
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.400
really quickly, which puts Genesis in charge. And she's really

353
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.799
good at being a leader, and she uses bits of

354
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:26.440
strategy she picked up during practice and did things like

355
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:31.720
creating a smoke screen and uses Sam's hologram powers to

356
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:34.079
kind of work to their advantage, and they actually managed

357
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:37.160
to score. And then there's a great bit where in

358
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.039
the middle of the night Talk and Reno arrave to

359
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:46.240
break things up and provide a little perspective about empathy

360
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:49.880
and as signs some manual labor everybody for doing this craziness.

361
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:53.519
And we learn that Thalk and Reno are actually a couple,

362
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.119
which is kind of a great surprise and which I

363
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:58.680
think has gone over really well with folks. I think

364
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.559
most folks I talked to quite delighted with that. And

365
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:04.680
there's such an odd couple, it's just kind of hilarious.

366
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:10.920
But it works, So everybody starts to realize, particularly Genesis, right,

367
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:13.720
that Captain Ake is we dropping these hints on how

368
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:15.880
they can win this prank war kind of on the

369
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:21.200
sli right, giving these various tasks to show the war

370
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:25.200
college losers who is the boss. Darren gets some great

371
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:28.559
life advice from Reno where she shares some insight to

372
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.160
how she and Thock find a way to make things

373
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:35.519
work out right, and he joins rejoins the group and

374
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:38.519
kind of has had a little lesson in vulnerability and humility,

375
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.240
which I think any leader needs to have. We suck

376
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.599
as a leader, frankly. And that's basically a quick overview.

377
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:47.640
This episode reminded me a lot of an old Deep

378
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:50.279
Space nine episode in places take me out to the

379
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:52.880
Hall of Suite with a crew and a face off

380
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:55.960
with some snooty Vulcans, right, because in this case we

381
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:01.200
have some very up to no good Shenanigan's building Navarre

382
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:05.200
these two bullies, a Vulcan cadet and a Romulant cadet

383
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:07.799
that reak a lot of the habit. So if you're

384
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.240
wondering why are Vulcan's smiling, well, don't rush to conclusions.

385
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:14.920
So there we go. That's kind of the the layout

386
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.720
of the discussion points for us here tonight. Very interesting episode.

387
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.200
I'll pop back later to give you my score, but

388
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:24.400
there's where we are. Who wants to jump in there? Eric?

389
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.759
You you're nodding enthusiastically.

390
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:29.559
Are you batting order?

391
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.680
Well, I don't know if there's a total batting order.

392
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:37.400
I mean so, I you know, I think for me,

393
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:43.319
this episode really pointed out the the the kind of

394
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.960
you know, emphasis on college shenanigans, right, like the whole

395
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:54.279
thing's based around a prank war. There's It kind of

396
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:58.119
took me back to, you know, high school things that

397
00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:05.240
might have happened, people messing with each other. When I

398
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:07.720
first started watching the episode, I will admit that I

399
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:16.200
had a reaction of, oh, this is very Starfleet or

400
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:19.599
you know, this isn't utopian or like that kind of stuff.

401
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:21.920
But then then once I got into it, I was like,

402
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:25.440
you know, the thing that I'm realizing about Starfleet Academy

403
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:32.359
is that it's taking real world situations now that are

404
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:35.200
are timeless in a lot of ways, and it's putting

405
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.480
those to the forefront, and it's exercising those and it's

406
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.680
putting them in a context that's you know, socially and

407
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:47.599
politically relevant for today's world, and so in that context,

408
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:50.119
I thought it was a delightful episode. I mean, there

409
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:52.799
was a lot of competition sort of stuff going on.

410
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:59.599
I really like the fact that those two is it

411
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:04.359
Halob been Tema at the beginning, that are you know,

412
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:06.759
fighting each other for like who's going to be dominant.

413
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.200
You know, Caleb does the the the dirty pool thing

414
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:16.079
where he mentions her her dad, her you know, Admiral Dad,

415
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:18.759
and so I think we're all kind of okay, Like

416
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:21.920
every episode they've mentioned the Admiral Dad, So I think

417
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:27.480
we're we're interested in that for sure. So yeah, I mean,

418
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.039
for me, it felt kind of like a fun episode.

419
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:35.640
There were some great scenes between between our chancellor and

420
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:37.799
I'm sorry I forgot the other character's name, but the

421
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.640
one she spent so much time talking to during the episode.

422
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:46.640
Does anybody have that guy's name anyway?

423
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:52.680
The War College guy, cal rec hel Wreck.

424
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:57.400
Okay, yeah, thank you. So I liked their kind of

425
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:02.240
interactions with each other. I do like this concept in

426
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:05.640
this show of there being something like the War College,

427
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:11.480
something that is the remnants of the violent nature that

428
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.759
was needed by Starfleet kind of during the burn years.

429
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.680
That's an interesting concept and I and I dig it,

430
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.240
and like I said last week, a little reminiscent of

431
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:31.400
the Makos and Starfleet Enterprise or star Trek Enterprise. So oh,

432
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:34.200
let me before I ask one question that's kind of

433
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:40.680
a like deeper question. I will say thought and the

434
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:44.480
relationship with oh my god, Jet Reno that amazing like

435
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:50.599
superpower couple, right, But let me ask you is was

436
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:56.480
the what? What was the kind of like overall purpose

437
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:01.720
of the prank war from your perspective, I'm not sure

438
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:04.319
what it was. I think it was team building, like

439
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:08.880
in general, but it just couldn't like pinpoint why. It

440
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:11.799
kind of meant, you know, at some point it kind

441
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.319
of became obvious that it was engineered in some way,

442
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:19.160
But what was the overall purpose of it? I I

443
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:22.640
will leave my review to ask you all to comment

444
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.079
on that. But overall, I really enjoyed this episode. I

445
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:28.640
thought it was quite good. It didn't like have the

446
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:31.480
total shabang that the first two did for me, but

447
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:34.480
I thought it was quite delightful. So I guess I'll

448
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.160
give this episode to seven.

449
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.960
Yeah, what did I?

450
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.279
Oh, it's probably supposed to do that first time I

451
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:50.880
started talking about it, Jim, I couldn't help it. Well, okay,

452
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:53.319
so I guess now I've already done my review.

453
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.400
So sorry about the out of orderness. But yeah, our

454
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:01.000
Facebook fans, we always asked them, of course, what they

455
00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:03.559
think about it, and on a scale of one to ten,

456
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.359
David core Covert said he gave it a ten. He

457
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:13.079
loved the cheerios stuck to his shoulder. Sean Grant gave

458
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:18.160
it a nine point nine to twenty significant digits, which

459
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:23.000
is ridiculously accurate. It is the best Glory B two

460
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:31.279
star trek Scott Kirkessener. Kirkessener said, honestly, I say a ten.

461
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:34.799
The show keeps improving with each episode. Jayden's voice wasn't

462
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.640
as rough, and we got an ensemble episode, which was

463
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:40.599
a welcome change from the other cadets taking a back seat.

464
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:44.480
In episode two, we got some insight into Darren and Genesis,

465
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:47.920
and overall it was a clever and fun episode which

466
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:54.720
is needed. Thanks Scott. J. Robert Bravo said, interesting, I

467
00:30:54.759 --> 00:31:01.319
feel the completely commenting on somebody else's comment, just Scott's

468
00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:04.480
the previous comment, said Scott, Hey, interesting, I feel the

469
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:07.000
complete opposite. I feel that this episode was the worst.

470
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:10.200
I was surprisingly pleased with the debut episode kind of

471
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:14.799
like most of episode two, and was supremely disappointed with

472
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:19.559
episode three. So predictable. Cocky white male gets his comeuppance

473
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:23.960
by his female classmate. She shows how much better a

474
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:28.400
leader she is than the cocky white male. Administer gets

475
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:32.160
his comeuppance from the female administer, and both toxic white

476
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.839
males are put in their places per ideology of the

477
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:38.759
producers and writers. Again, so predictable, and of course the

478
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:40.279
war college was outwitted.

479
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:40.720
L O.

480
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:51.480
I am, I mean takes takes all colors. Amy Edmunds

481
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:55.880
also gave it a five. Slightly less verbose. Great sci fi,

482
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.799
but it's full of Hollywood cliches about high school or college,

483
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.680
like the fact that they have to do physical training. Yeah,

484
00:32:03.079 --> 00:32:05.880
super military like that was the other thing about this episode.

485
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:08.000
It had like more of a like real military kind

486
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:11.759
of feel to it. Willem Archers said I solid seven

487
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:14.119
out of ten. A good episode without a doubt, but

488
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:16.920
I enjoyed episodes one and two more. That's kind of

489
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.359
where I am. Willem, thank you. Justin Potten said nine.

490
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:24.240
It was such a fun and energetic episode TAWOOI ELOI

491
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:28.759
said a ten real I really enjoyed it. Michelle Sparrow

492
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.519
also gave it a ten loved it with a couple

493
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:34.559
of cute icons, and Brian Rubin also gave it a

494
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:37.440
ten loved it. Laura and Reno are a Thing fan

495
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:43.200
score of eight point six ridiculously high excellent. People like

496
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:50.759
this episode and now I've already reviewed it, So who's next?

497
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:59.960
I'll say, am I back? Okay? All right? Video wanted to.

498
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:08.359
Sorry, my head is just like so congested. I enjoyed

499
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:12.720
the episode, I mean with the whole beaming people in

500
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:18.559
different you know, different stages of undress was hilarious. And

501
00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:22.279
let's face it, who doesn't want to do that to

502
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:26.400
some people too, you know, humiliate them. I can think

503
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:30.400
of some some people I'd like to do that too,

504
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:36.319
So that that was funny. The plant did anybody else

505
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:40.160
get a little Shop of horrors? Vibes? And Audrey with

506
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:44.759
the way the shape of well quit yeah, I mean

507
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.119
the opposite voice that I don't know. For some reason,

508
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:49.480
that cracked me up. That it had that little squeaky

509
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:57.559
voice and repeated what people said and got it just

510
00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:59.240
went out of my head. I was going to say

511
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:02.759
something else, all right, And I feel really extremely stupid

512
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.960
that I somehow missed that Laura and Jed are a

513
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:13.039
couple and I think that's fantastic. So I missed that part.

514
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.440
But now I look forward to seeing them. Hopefully we'll

515
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:18.480
see since I'm since I'm a brand new fan of

516
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:28.199
Tiggs humor anyway, tig nataro. So yeah, the whole thing

517
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:34.599
with with Ake just quietly in the background saying, you know, uh,

518
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:37.199
in so many words, I can tell you how to

519
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:41.239
win this, and nobody's listening to her because I think

520
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:43.320
we've all been in that situation where it's like we're

521
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:46.199
trying to tell you just listen to us. Oh, well,

522
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:48.039
you're not going to listen to us. You're going to lose.

523
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:53.480
So I guess overall, but you are right. It was

524
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:59.119
full of energy. It was funny. I think, what was it?

525
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:02.679
I forgot who was that was beamed into? Uh was

526
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:06.400
it on the or was it with with Jet? And

527
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:08.440
she says, wow, that's a lot.

528
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:09.440
We just.

529
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:14.199
I don't know that. Just I'm easily amused. The stays

530
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:19.199
I would give it a solid let me go eight

531
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:21.519
point seventy five. How about that.

532
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:31.960
Okay eight point seven five. Well, I loved it. I

533
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:38.039
love the part where is talking to Okay and she's like, look.

534
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:38.679
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was great.

535
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:41.920
I mean I was trying to figure out was she

536
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:46.119
trying to be funny or was she being serious because

537
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:48.440
the line and I think I.

538
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:50.400
Think that's one of the cool things about thok right

539
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:53.400
is like she offers the opportunity to like have that

540
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:58.360
dry humor where a real person might not even say

541
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:01.559
that line, but because of the way this show is written,

542
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:02.119
it's a.

543
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:07.079
Yeah, it was funny as fuck. I got there. I

544
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:11.159
said it. I just I was cracking up because it

545
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:13.760
was her delivery. It was like, was that a joke

546
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:18.280
or it was? It was perfect. And I love her

547
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:22.440
relationship that the two of them have. You know, She's like, well,

548
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:24.760
I joined you for three reasons, and she tells her

549
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:27.760
the first two, and they said, well, what's the third. Well,

550
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:34.599
his crazy teeth fetish Okay of all the things that fetish.

551
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:36.960
So I think those two have a really great rapport.

552
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.079
They really play well off.

553
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:42.199
Of each other, and I loved I think she's a

554
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:45.800
great addition to the show and the jet renal thing

555
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:49.360
when she comes and she calls her kitten, what are

556
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:50.159
we having for dinner?

557
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:56.599
Kitten? And she says Chinese jem Hidar klingon combination or something.

558
00:36:56.639 --> 00:37:02.159
I forgot exactly what the combination was, but but jet

559
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:04.719
Reno says something like the combination. I never thought I

560
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:09.480
would like something like that, something like that. I have

561
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:14.280
to watch it again. But just she's hilarious. She is hilarious,

562
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.480
and her and jet Reno play so good off of

563
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:19.639
each other that it's a great combination. And I hope

564
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:25.480
they keep it up for a good long time. That

565
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:29.199
that romuling chick there at the War Academy, and she

566
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:32.119
deserves to get her ask picked. I think she's the

567
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:40.599
instigator of everything, you know. And what's his name? Lloyd?

568
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:45.440
The the human guy? Kyle? So my name is Kyle.

569
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:49.599
It stands for Kyle. Okay, nice to meet you, Kyle.

570
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:53.559
Did anybody else think that was an homage back to

571
00:37:54.440 --> 00:38:00.519
Kyle from t O s like kind of like this blonde,

572
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.639
you know, young blonde kind.

573
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:10.159
Of boy Kyle. Yeah. The the laser tag thing. I

574
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:12.639
forgot which characters said, I'd have to watch it again,

575
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:17.679
characters like laser tag. The very next scene that we

576
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:20.920
and I was like, yeah, just like that. And the

577
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:24.159
very next scene we see they're on a battlefield with

578
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:27.400
explosions and flames all over them, and there's Sam hugging

579
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:34.239
this rock saying this isn't laser. The other guy the

580
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:43.320
Betazoi guys, it's like, yeah, that's lady. I'm great. I

581
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:44.400
loved it.

582
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:49.039
Great line when they were talking about bones and she

583
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:51.760
just like kind of quickly interjects, I don't have bones,

584
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.679
and I just like, it's not even that funny of

585
00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:58.599
a line, but like the way that actress is delivering

586
00:38:58.719 --> 00:39:02.519
those Sam lines. I think it's hilarious because it's totally nonchalant.

587
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:04.960
It's kind of in the background. You might miss it,

588
00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:07.960
but if you get it, it's like, oh damn, that's a.

589
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:11.320
Singer, Sam. I love Sam. I love Sam.

590
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:13.960
Yeah. He also says, oh, I took a bath for

591
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:14.639
the first time.

592
00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:22.199
Yeah, when she gets she has beamed into the fountain there.

593
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:24.079
Or whatever.

594
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:29.199
Yeah, can I can I like go down a rabbit

595
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:33.199
hole real quick? So is Sam? Is it clear how

596
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:37.119
she works? Like you know, Robert Piccardo, the doctor back

597
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.159
from Voyager, had a mobile emitter that allowed him to

598
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:44.079
kind of walk around and do stuff. Does is Sam's

599
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:46.719
like combat, does that like some kind of emitr that

600
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:50.119
keeps her body cohesive? Or do we know that yet

601
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:51.800
or you don't know that yet?

602
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:55.800
That is okay, Well, I think the doctor is a

603
00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:59.639
computer program. I think she is part of an actual

604
00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:04.119
speed she's that is a holographic.

605
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:05.480
But her.

606
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:12.079
Called what is the doctor called the doctor actual name

607
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:14.840
semi whatever?

608
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:18.599
Ye whatever?

609
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:21.840
That was right, But but technologically there still has to

610
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:26.920
be like a piece of technology that like emits the hologram.

611
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:31.360
You know, hologram is a projection, right, but it's a

612
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:32.920
project it's a light of projection.

613
00:40:33.079 --> 00:40:33.199
Right.

614
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:37.880
They'll go into it at some point a photography.

615
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:40.760
But you can't there's there's no saying that a projection

616
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:43.519
couldn't There couldn't be some kind of species that is

617
00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:46.159
able to project right as far as we know, the

618
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:49.800
way like a chameleon can change. So what if there

619
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.360
was an organic, organic type of life form that it

620
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:55.000
was able to project itself, right, there's some kind of

621
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:58.360
defense mechanism. She says in the pilot episode that she's

622
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:00.719
been like I don't even know if she used the

623
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:04.519
word programmed or not, but then she's figured to like

624
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:10.280
be uh, right, they given like kind of a profile, right,

625
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:12.760
So so yeah, so it's interesting. But I think that,

626
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:15.280
you know, we have to this conjecture, which is about

627
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:16.760
all we can do right now. But I'm sure she's

628
00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:20.480
going to get a uh a focal, you know arc

629
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:23.800
at some point in these early episodes. Is everyone's getting established, right,

630
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:26.559
we'll learn more, which is intriguing. But what's nice is

631
00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:29.760
like I think audiences are really warming up to her, right.

632
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:32.360
It seems like that everyone's quite fond of her as

633
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:34.519
a character, even though we don't know much. I just

634
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:38.519
think she's very engaging, right, and uh, and that counts

635
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:38.920
for a lot.

636
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:44.440
So cool innocence, whether like juliant, like jubilant innocence is

637
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:47.119
really like refreshing. When you watch the show, you just

638
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:48.599
kind of like feel joy from.

639
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:53.320
Her when they're on the battlefield and uh, the other

640
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:58.039
guys are hiding behind her and the lazes's permeable or

641
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:06.800
or well, but she goes get your piece straight and

642
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:13.480
she's not permeable. She's chorous or she's not. And I

643
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:16.199
thought that was hilarious that she could like meet herself

644
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:19.679
like the vision, you know, and everything goes right through her.

645
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:23.480
She's a great character. And I really like her energy,

646
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:28.719
you know, and her her her youthfulness. She looks at

647
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:30.800
things in a different way than a lot of the

648
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:36.840
other I really really really like that. I'm loving this

649
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:39.719
show so much more than I think I should. I

650
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:43.920
think it's it's written well, it's acted well, the characters

651
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:50.159
are engaging, and I'm just I'm loving everything about the

652
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:54.159
show so far. I just I can't I can't stress

653
00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:57.719
that enough. But back to the episode. So, yeah, I

654
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:03.000
really like the the relationship that that jet Reno has,

655
00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:06.719
and I like jet Reno when she was on Discovery anyways,

656
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:12.880
but I think she's awesome, and yeah, it's great. So

657
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:18.000
my score, let me see, he gave it an eight

658
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:21.960
point seventy five, right, all right, so I have to

659
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:27.119
go with a nine point seventy five. Hey, wow, I

660
00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:32.159
enjoyed it. I just I enjoyed it immensely. You know,

661
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:35.159
they should end one still again, I just I loved it.

662
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:42.440
I thought it was great. See you later on when

663
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:47.000
the War the War Academy, the War College. I'm not

664
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:49.320
going to be the enemies of Starkly, They're gonna they're

665
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:52.239
gonna get together, pass the ship out and be friends.

666
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:56.000
I see that in the cards down the Road at

667
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:56.559
some point.

668
00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:59.199
I mean, I'm really interested, Jim in whether or not

669
00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:02.719
the War College goes away eventually. You know, it's like,

670
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:06.199
well it's not needed anymore because we're post burned. I

671
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:08.920
don't know if they'll get that far, but interesting.

672
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:09.159
Yeah they don't.

673
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:11.519
I could see a lot of the War College would

674
00:44:11.559 --> 00:44:14.639
evolve into It seems to me a natural progression, right,

675
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:15.480
the War College.

676
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:17.039
I see what you're saying, and.

677
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:19.880
It does seem like is the Enlightened Federation coalesces right

678
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:23.400
that we're become all star fleet? But my money is

679
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:27.719
on the War College becomes like Section thirty one that

680
00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:30.679
to me, they're both up to the dark nonsense and

681
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:33.159
then and retaining we need to hold over our secrets

682
00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:35.960
and do all of our our things for everyone's benefit,

683
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:38.239
right against their will. I mean, it's very much. You

684
00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:40.960
see a lot of Section thirty one iconography and thinking

685
00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:43.400
going on with the War College. So my guess is

686
00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:46.559
you're right, and it evolves into that wouldn't surprise me

687
00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:49.400
at all, you know, so because you know they're all

688
00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:53.079
dressed like black for goodness sakes, you know.

689
00:44:55.639 --> 00:45:00.559
Black, What did je Renal say? Snazzy uniforms. I think

690
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:04.400
Reno said, snazzy uniform and I love I love when

691
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:06.559
they're on the on the field and thought is like,

692
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:10.360
don't die with honor. You're gonna dishonor me and she's

693
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:15.599
yelling at them. Yes, she's a I don't know if

694
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:18.480
you guys remember all the big debate over the fact,

695
00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:21.800
you know this character was gonna be awful because Jemma

696
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:27.360
dart on females blah blah blah blah blah. I think

697
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:29.519
she is turning out to be one of the best

698
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:34.880
characters of the show so far. So Charles, how about you,

699
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:36.239
what did you think about the episode?

700
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:44.519
Okay, notes uh kill Rick. It's interesting and you kind

701
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:48.480
of wonder about the character. Why is he so precise

702
00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:52.360
and worried about exactly how to make what he cans?

703
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:56.800
There's a perfect cup of tea. It has to be

704
00:45:57.079 --> 00:46:01.840
of only dry leaves. The water has to be of

705
00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:06.119
a specific temperature. Oh you're gonna stir it, Well, you

706
00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:11.119
need to go from twelve to six. I think he was,

707
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:15.480
And I love the line that was then given to

708
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:23.400
the well, your twelve you're six to twelve to my

709
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:27.880
twelve to six. And I love her I love the

710
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:32.840
chancellor's comment to that. Definitely, you could tell the chancellor

711
00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:36.519
was trying to get comfortable in his thing, but she

712
00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:39.320
knows how they talk. It was showing how secure his

713
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:46.239
place was. H to comment about what somebody said about, Oh,

714
00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:52.159
this thing is so much of a college comedy. What

715
00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:59.320
age are these people? College students? The academy is post

716
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:05.639
post school is their college years. This is a college comedy.

717
00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:09.360
This is their college years. These kids, these these people

718
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:14.079
are very uncomfortable. Not only have they fact that they've

719
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:21.840
been dealing with not not existing with other societies because

720
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:28.400
the burns, many many planets were separated. But these people

721
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:34.159
are in their late teens, early twenties era. They still

722
00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:38.199
got the issues with the hormones and everything going on.

723
00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:47.159
There's I'm still trying to get used to everything. We're

724
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:53.960
going to have this college comedy, this college way they

725
00:47:54.000 --> 00:48:04.079
do things, which then goes to Eric's question, well, why

726
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:08.719
is there this prank going on? Well, I think from

727
00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:15.000
past history there have been pranks between the colleges, and

728
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:17.280
so they wanted to keep this prank going, and the

729
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:21.199
War college want to start it and trying to attack

730
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:26.639
star Fleet's moving it. Say oh, we're better as we

731
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:31.159
go in history and find out that chancellor was involved

732
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:37.159
with Oh so people were beamed onto Alcatraz Island. It

733
00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:41.000
took all day to get them off the roof, and

734
00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:44.679
you listen to stories of like, yes, and the chancellor

735
00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:49.840
was involved with that prank. She's used to the pranks,

736
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:55.119
so I don't think they started it, and so she

737
00:48:55.159 --> 00:48:59.440
wanted to keep it going and up they were up

738
00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:03.960
the college by one. So I think that's why the

739
00:49:03.960 --> 00:49:08.159
prank happened was because the fact that it happened before

740
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:12.519
he was going to get it started, and she decided

741
00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:15.239
to keep it going and coming up with a plan

742
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:20.039
of how to challenge, how to get the goodet the

743
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:23.920
starphat academicad debts to challenge the War College and a

744
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:28.039
prank that would put up a top.

745
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:32.920
But the one Charles can, I can? I can I

746
00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:35.880
ask you a quick question about that? So yes, So

747
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:41.719
one of the one of the things that I was

748
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:46.239
struggling with I think during this episode in particular, But

749
00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:48.119
but I also think it's kind of delightful. But I'm

750
00:49:48.119 --> 00:49:50.239
also struggling with it, and I'm just not I haven't

751
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:53.840
totally resulted in my head. So we all or many

752
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:56.360
of us had this kind of concept of star trek

753
00:49:56.440 --> 00:50:00.880
for a long time as a utopian ideal, right where

754
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:04.960
everything's great, you don't have the uh, what are the

755
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:09.679
post post scarcity society right where you don't have to

756
00:50:09.679 --> 00:50:14.719
worry about anything? That sort of thing. Do you think

757
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:20.000
that Starfleet Academy in let's say the twenty fourth century

758
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:25.840
during Picard's era, do you think that those eras also

759
00:50:26.039 --> 00:50:31.119
had things like pranks and that kind of stuff? And

760
00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:33.119
I'm not saying that pranks are bad, but like just

761
00:50:33.280 --> 00:50:37.679
like from a from a like philosophical standpoint, I guess

762
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.719
do you think that they had those too and that

763
00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:43.840
and that those are literally like the whole reason for

764
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:46.599
those in the end ends up being kind of like

765
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:50.719
team building as the as the answer why those are

766
00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:54.519
you know, all rated or why they happen? Or do

767
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:58.199
you think that the Starfleet Academy of the post Burn

768
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:01.960
era is fundamentally different someway from like you know, comfortable

769
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:06.280
Starfleet back in the twenty fourth century Starfleet Academy? And

770
00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:08.599
you know, do they do more pranks now? Is there

771
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:11.239
is there more aggressive nature? Is there? I don't know

772
00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:14.440
what are the differences between those two eras of Starfleet Academy,

773
00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:18.639
And is that influencing the prankness of this episode? Am

774
00:51:18.639 --> 00:51:19.360
I making sense?

775
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:20.000
Yes?

776
00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:22.800
Let me bring up Let me bring up one I

777
00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:29.760
didn't include for Cadet review. I can't remember the episode.

778
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:30.719
What was it?

779
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:34.760
What in the episode where Wesley was that Wesley was

780
00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:42.480
at Starfleet Academy and they hid the uh not fighters,

781
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:45.360
but they hid the small ships that they were fought.

782
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:46.719
They were flying.

783
00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:51.280
And they wanted to do a Yeah, they wanted to.

784
00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:57.920
Do this this high speed, very very complic Yeah, they

785
00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:01.320
did the burst, but that that was something that they

786
00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:03.119
wanted to prove they were best at.

787
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:07.480
They wanted to prove they could be the squad that

788
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:13.079
was the most successful at that attempt. They're trying to

789
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:18.360
up up other years of the academy, trying to be

790
00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:24.360
the best, and we leave a history. So I think

791
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:26.840
that was still a fact. It's like, okay, I think

792
00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:29.360
they still were doing that point where they were trying

793
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:33.000
to be the best. They didn't have a prank, but

794
00:52:33.039 --> 00:52:35.039
they were doing it. But they were still trying to

795
00:52:35.079 --> 00:52:40.159
compete against other other years, trying to be the best

796
00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:42.159
of the best flyers.

797
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:49.360
Well, I mean to your question, Eric, I Unfortunately, none

798
00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:51.880
of the other star trucks shows up that we've seen

799
00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:55.360
so far has given us enough of a glimpse of

800
00:52:55.480 --> 00:52:59.039
Starfleet Academy or life at the academy. You know, an

801
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:04.639
episode here, you know, not their type of stuff that

802
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:07.480
we don't really know that. But if I had to guess,

803
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:11.000
if I was gonna, if I was guessing, I would say,

804
00:53:11.079 --> 00:53:15.000
yes that they they did do pranks all along, because

805
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:18.400
that's part I think it's part of going to college's

806
00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:21.000
part of the the whole or what do they call it,

807
00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:27.320
not franks, what are they called it? Yeah? Yeah, hazing.

808
00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:30.480
So I would say that, yeah, they they did do

809
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:33.719
that at the real stuff, not the real Starfleet Academy,

810
00:53:33.760 --> 00:53:38.880
at the original star Fleet Academy. And uh, you know.

811
00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:47.840
Let's let's yes, please straight buddy, this has.

812
00:53:47.800 --> 00:53:51.079
Been established since day one. Okay, let's go back to

813
00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:55.159
an original series first season, an episode called shore Leave Right,

814
00:53:55.960 --> 00:54:00.920
who is tormenting Curve constantly on that planet? Right? The

815
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:05.800
ghost of his former classmate Finnigan? Okay, nothing but make

816
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:07.719
his life hell right?

817
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:08.119
He was.

818
00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:10.920
He was a personal on nemesis, teasing him and franking

819
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:13.559
him constantly. He was just like I mean it was

820
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:15.599
like a nightmare, right, I mean it was just like

821
00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:18.199
that is like so established and fit is just like

822
00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:21.719
out of his mind. He's crazy. Right, So we've always

823
00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:24.559
known that, you know. The whole idea is, yeah, we

824
00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:26.440
get you when you're rough and out of control. It's

825
00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:29.800
definitely we bowled you into leadership. That's what it's all about.

826
00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:32.480
I think that a huge chunk of this episode. And

827
00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:34.840
I'm sorry, I'm like elbowing in on Charles a little bit,

828
00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:36.840
but we haven't even got your score yet, so you

829
00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:39.000
got to get that. But I think the whole idea

830
00:54:39.239 --> 00:54:43.679
is that we The whole idea is, you know what

831
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:47.199
Oke says, You've got to let people grow and find

832
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:49.360
their answers together, right, the fact that they are a

833
00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:51.559
little out of control. She's trying to teach. The whole

834
00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:54.320
point of the whole prank war thing, I think is that, yes,

835
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:59.920
you've got to learn that compared to aggression, patience, empathy, understanding,

836
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:02.480
these are the traits that will serve you the best.

837
00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:02.800
Right.

838
00:55:03.079 --> 00:55:06.320
They even refer to the Vitus reflux flower as an

839
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:09.280
empathy flower. Right. She even calls it that, right, and

840
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:11.920
that if you take the time to nurture something and

841
00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:15.920
let it grow as those flowers do. Right, you will

842
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:18.440
end up having a more formidable weapon at your disposal

843
00:55:18.559 --> 00:55:21.639
than just by hoping for brute force, because we see

844
00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:24.599
that fail them time and time again. Brute force is

845
00:55:24.599 --> 00:55:26.800
not the answer when they're trying to play Klika, right,

846
00:55:26.840 --> 00:55:29.400
it fails them and they end up losing. But when

847
00:55:29.400 --> 00:55:32.079
you work together and your patients and you develop some empathy,

848
00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:35.599
and they even quote the whole Allura thought quotes Sun

849
00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:37.800
Sou from the Art of War at one point and says,

850
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:41.079
if you don't know yourself, you will always lose the battle.

851
00:55:41.719 --> 00:55:43.559
It's good to know your opponent, and that's great, you'll

852
00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:45.599
win some of the battles, but you've got to know

853
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:48.639
yourself as well as well as your opponent. So, I mean,

854
00:55:48.679 --> 00:55:53.519
I think that theme of empathy and mutual cooperation, solving

855
00:55:53.599 --> 00:55:59.519
problems together, growing through cooperation, right, is a huge part

856
00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:02.960
of what's into not just this episode, but this whole series. Right,

857
00:56:03.039 --> 00:56:05.039
So I think that's a lot of what was trying

858
00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:08.519
to be conveyed. So sorry, but I hadn't mentioned Finnegan

859
00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:10.800
because it's just like that's I mean, the Temple's always

860
00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:14.360
been there, right, always, you know, So and you know

861
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:17.159
when you bring it back to Tapestry too. In the

862
00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:21.079
Tapestry episode, I can't remember her name, but when Picard's

863
00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:23.519
remembering his old the girl that he used to hang

864
00:56:23.559 --> 00:56:25.599
out when they're up to Shenanigans all the time in

865
00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:28.280
that episode, right where they're they're you know, misbehaving and

866
00:56:28.559 --> 00:56:30.360
I'm going to show him and they're getting into fist

867
00:56:30.360 --> 00:56:33.320
fights and all kinds of They're wild and rambunctious, like

868
00:56:33.320 --> 00:56:36.840
like any college age undisciplined person would be who's not

869
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:40.280
been molded by a leader, right, So I just had

870
00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:41.039
to get some of those out.

871
00:56:41.079 --> 00:56:44.800
So I think we found lots of good advance, did

872
00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:51.360
you guys? Charles have a Klingon Warrior gardening and spritzing

873
00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:55.639
the plant with a little water and a Klingon Warrior.

874
00:56:55.800 --> 00:56:59.199
I was just cracking off with that scene because he

875
00:56:59.360 --> 00:57:02.159
was so intense and he's like studying the soil and

876
00:57:02.239 --> 00:57:06.159
he's like, you know this Claymont Warrior dude, and there

877
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:08.599
he is trying to grow this little shop of horror,

878
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:15.360
which yeah, sorry child, So it was.

879
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:19.679
Just nope, I still got one more thing, as you

880
00:57:19.719 --> 00:57:22.599
saw in my notes that I put in there, and

881
00:57:23.719 --> 00:57:26.679
I'm not sure if it was the director in this

882
00:57:26.760 --> 00:57:34.840
one or who's who's come up with this. But I

883
00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:42.920
do rave compliment compliments to the uniforms because we've gone

884
00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:46.280
with is this solid gray uniform. All of a sudden

885
00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:49.679
they're doing this competition and you see these new other

886
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:58.480
extra uniforms. I see, uh, this Caleb in a red hoodie.

887
00:57:58.800 --> 00:58:01.679
I've seen somebody in a red shirt. It's like, Okay,

888
00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:07.159
they're not they're sometimes in their straight gray draft. Yes,

889
00:58:07.199 --> 00:58:11.119
some people say, oh, they're drab uniforms. They're goodet uniforms.

890
00:58:11.199 --> 00:58:14.079
They are drab. Look at the jackets they got the

891
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:18.119
end of the episode. Those are some nice looking jackets.

892
00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:22.360
And I think the point it's like, Okay, they're not

893
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:26.800
putting these people just in straight uniforms all day long,

894
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:29.639
same thing every day. That's all they get to wear.

895
00:58:31.480 --> 00:58:34.559
There's a variation in the uniform and when they're relaxed,

896
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:41.480
they can pull in some of these nice uniforms. They

897
00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:44.199
wear something with they're something where they're not in class

898
00:58:45.079 --> 00:58:48.239
that they can wear around that hoodie. I think, I

899
00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:50.079
wonder if that hoodie is gonna sit there and show

900
00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:56.519
up at a convention in one of these days with

901
00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:59.360
the Starfleet and the jacket with a star Fleet emblem

902
00:58:59.360 --> 00:59:03.039
on back. Serrefet the Academy emblem on back. That was

903
00:59:03.079 --> 00:59:05.400
a nice looking one. It's like, Okay, I think they're

904
00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:07.719
doing some good work with some of the costuming in

905
00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:12.039
this one. What am I gonna give this one?

906
00:59:12.039 --> 00:59:16.280
I can have the go ahead, No go ahead, Eric,

907
00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:20.559
I was just gonna say, you can have the hoodie, Charles.

908
00:59:20.679 --> 00:59:23.960
I want the tiles. I want the Starfleet tiles that

909
00:59:24.039 --> 00:59:27.280
we saw in last week's episode. I want to do

910
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:29.519
my shower with those things.

911
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:34.800
Well, okay, as I've already seen, I've already seen one

912
00:59:34.840 --> 00:59:45.079
person say when they start making some warp core pajamas,

913
00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:49.840
I'm gonna go with an eight point nine on this one.

914
00:59:50.280 --> 00:59:56.159
Not quite a nine, but almost there. So I think,

915
00:59:57.800 --> 00:59:59.119
figure out, what do you want to do?

916
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:04.760
Yeah, Paul hasn't given us a score yet. Yeah, yeah, I.

917
01:00:04.679 --> 01:00:06.679
Really liked this episode a lot. I love where the

918
01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:11.119
series is going. Really excellent work on all scores here.

919
01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:13.960
I think my score last week I gave both those

920
01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:16.880
episodes if I remember a nine, and I think this

921
01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:20.119
one ebbed a little bit right. I think this one

922
01:00:20.159 --> 01:00:21.679
I think is worthy of an eight. But it's a

923
01:00:21.719 --> 01:00:25.800
really solid enthusiastic right. I think I liked it. I

924
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:27.880
did have one niggle on here that bugged me. And

925
01:00:27.920 --> 01:00:31.159
this has happened all the freaking time in the last

926
01:00:31.199 --> 01:00:35.679
couple of different arms of the franchise that have rolled

927
01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:39.199
out recently discovered that they did it, like pretty much

928
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:42.480
every single scene in section thirty one. You gotta stop

929
01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:46.599
with the contemporary dialogue. Okay, you got to At one point,

930
01:00:46.719 --> 01:00:49.159
I think it was Laura thought, she said, what's going

931
01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:52.320
on to you is a pr dumpster fire. You cannot

932
01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:55.400
use a dumpster fire is a twenty first century this

933
01:00:55.719 --> 01:00:59.039
time period. You cannot use that kind of modern lingo.

934
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:01.440
It was bad enough that they did laser tag, but

935
01:01:01.480 --> 01:01:02.880
it just takes you out of the moment.

936
01:01:02.920 --> 01:01:03.079
Man.

937
01:01:03.159 --> 01:01:06.280
We're like, I'm reading an editorial in the Atlantic or

938
01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:09.519
something right when I when I hear that you've got

939
01:01:09.519 --> 01:01:11.519
to keep the modern terms of phrase out of your

940
01:01:11.519 --> 01:01:15.440
science fiction, it is it is. You know, it's anochronistic.

941
01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:19.800
So you know that that message providers stop doing it.

942
01:01:20.159 --> 01:01:20.360
You know.

943
01:01:20.440 --> 01:01:22.320
It's like when you know you have somebody go I

944
01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:25.679
got this or whatever using modern terms of phrase, it's like, no,

945
01:01:26.079 --> 01:01:28.639
it's interrupting you've got to keep a neutrality. You can't

946
01:01:28.639 --> 01:01:28.960
do it.

947
01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:33.880
So, Paul, do you feel any different about that with

948
01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:38.199
a series like Starfleet Academy, where you know it's a

949
01:01:38.239 --> 01:01:42.039
young audience, it's kind of like the hip lingo kind

950
01:01:42.039 --> 01:01:45.360
of thing. Do you do you want them to develop

951
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:49.519
a you know, a new future hip lingo that kind

952
01:01:49.519 --> 01:01:52.599
of like says, we're in college. We're using this kind

953
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:53.440
of language that.

954
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:56.519
They do they do. They call the people in the

955
01:01:56.559 --> 01:01:59.400
academy warholes, right, you know, and things like that. There

956
01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:01.440
there's plenty of examples that they're coming up with their

957
01:02:01.480 --> 01:02:03.920
own parlance, right and doing that. And you know the

958
01:02:04.239 --> 01:02:06.760
and this show has been you know, replete with the

959
01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:09.719
regular profanity, right, but you know they've been saying.

960
01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:11.639
Asshole more shows.

961
01:02:11.800 --> 01:02:14.239
Yeah, they've been saying asshole and fuck you since the

962
01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:16.639
you know, like you know, the time of Foster that

963
01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:22.920
those are not timeless experience. Yeah, those are timeless expressions.

964
01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:25.880
But it's when you get into the colloquial stuff that's

965
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:29.400
really modern, like dumpster Fire is very now, right, and

966
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:31.599
you just it takes you out. It's like, I want

967
01:02:31.599 --> 01:02:35.280
this show to be, you know, find its own identity

968
01:02:35.280 --> 01:02:37.159
for young people. But don't make it so that if

969
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:41.079
I took your script, I could basically turn it into

970
01:02:41.159 --> 01:02:44.639
a WB show just by changing the character names, right,

971
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:48.400
because it feels too written for a contemporary audience. That way,

972
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:53.760
you need to maintain the the membrane and the suspension

973
01:02:53.800 --> 01:02:56.480
of disbelief that this is hundreds of years in the future,

974
01:02:56.679 --> 01:02:58.920
and you can't do that with contemporary dialog. So it's

975
01:02:58.920 --> 01:03:01.440
just like that's something that you know, I'm not a

976
01:03:01.519 --> 01:03:04.840
Kurtzman era hater. I appreciate the shows that they have

977
01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:08.960
done on there a lot, but underneath is tutelage that

978
01:03:09.039 --> 01:03:11.639
goes on a lot in the writer's room, right, Picard

979
01:03:11.800 --> 01:03:16.159
did it all the time, and it's just you've got

980
01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:18.039
to stay away from that. And I think, you know,

981
01:03:18.440 --> 01:03:21.039
most writers I think would agree with me, hopefully, But

982
01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:24.000
you know, I just wanted to stand the test of time.

983
01:03:24.360 --> 01:03:26.920
But I think eight is a good, solid episode score

984
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:29.199
for me for this one. But it doesn't in no

985
01:03:29.239 --> 01:03:31.880
way lessons my affection for what's going on. I really

986
01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:35.440
like to see the growth of the characters. We're gradually

987
01:03:35.480 --> 01:03:39.559
revealing more here about you know, the captain's leadership style,

988
01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:42.800
excuse me, and all of those are the different components.

989
01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:45.400
I think it's a really well crafted show of really

990
01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:47.599
nice dynamics. I don't know where they did all the

991
01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:50.960
location shooting for this particular episode, but man, they really

992
01:03:51.000 --> 01:03:52.880
made use of it with like the gymnasium. They're on

993
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:56.239
some campus someplace with huge windows and really conveyed the

994
01:03:56.320 --> 01:03:59.440
sense of size. And whenever start Trek goes on location

995
01:03:59.519 --> 01:04:01.320
to shoot, I think they end up, you know, really

996
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:03.119
getting good bang for their box. So I thought it

997
01:04:03.199 --> 01:04:07.360
looked great and I'm really liking these characters. You know,

998
01:04:07.480 --> 01:04:09.960
I'm with Uncle Jim. I'm I think this show has

999
01:04:10.039 --> 01:04:13.360
just been tremendous each week. You know. As soon as

1000
01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:15.119
I'm done with dinner tonight, that's what I'm doing. I'm

1001
01:04:15.119 --> 01:04:18.119
sitting down watching Fur because I'm super looking forward to it.

1002
01:04:18.159 --> 01:04:20.679
So yeah, I think they're doing a great job. I

1003
01:04:20.840 --> 01:04:23.480
just have to compare this episode to the previous two before,

1004
01:04:23.519 --> 01:04:25.320
because I think they were a little bit stronger. But

1005
01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:28.639
you know, and you know, Fellas, if you had not

1006
01:04:28.760 --> 01:04:30.760
done dumpster Fire, I'd probably have given you a nun.

1007
01:04:31.199 --> 01:04:33.960
But you know, it just sticks to my cross. But

1008
01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:37.360
there you go, so wonderful work on the show. Continue

1009
01:04:37.360 --> 01:04:42.400
to be great. I think it's from one. I sense

1010
01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:44.920
the legit metrics. It's doing well.

1011
01:04:46.920 --> 01:04:49.920
Well, you know, Paul. Something I think about with this

1012
01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:53.639
particular series is, you know, as much as I love

1013
01:04:53.719 --> 01:04:56.480
Strange New Worlds, and I do, I thought Anson Mount

1014
01:04:56.599 --> 01:05:02.639
was like, but Strange New Worlds kind of it feels

1015
01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:07.840
it feels like something we've seen before, something that's been

1016
01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:11.760
done before. Planet of the Week, Alien of the Week,

1017
01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:15.400
Ship of the Week type of thing. Not that that's bad,

1018
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:21.480
but toughly, The Academy to me, feels completely fresh, completely unique,

1019
01:05:21.800 --> 01:05:26.599
totally new and refreshing. And I just I enjoy watching it.

1020
01:05:26.679 --> 01:05:29.840
I love watching it and it feels completely different to me,

1021
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:33.159
and I think that's what Star Trek has needed. That's

1022
01:05:33.159 --> 01:05:37.440
the shot in the arm that this franchise needs, you know,

1023
01:05:37.519 --> 01:05:40.679
get some young blood in. But I think I think J. J.

1024
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:42.559
Abrams did it in two thousand and nine with the

1025
01:05:42.599 --> 01:05:45.000
Star Trek first Star Trek movie. He brought a lot

1026
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:47.480
of new fans, a lot of new asses in the theater,

1027
01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:50.480
got a lot of people interested in Star Trek that

1028
01:05:50.679 --> 01:05:53.000
probably wouldn't have been kind of like Star Trek four

1029
01:05:53.039 --> 01:05:56.159
with the way Aes did. And I think Starfleet Academy

1030
01:05:56.239 --> 01:05:59.239
is doing the same thing. Everybody that I talked to

1031
01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:01.719
with the school that I work at, they all love

1032
01:06:01.800 --> 01:06:06.480
the show, you know, teachers and you know, the vice principal,

1033
01:06:07.000 --> 01:06:09.519
she calls me in her office. She starts her last night,

1034
01:06:09.559 --> 01:06:12.760
you know, and we talked about the star and so,

1035
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:16.800
you know, the people at the school, the teachers at

1036
01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:19.000
the school that are watching this are really liking it,

1037
01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:21.679
and they're watching it with their families. And I think

1038
01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:24.280
that's what starts for getting and I think that's what

1039
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:27.719
Starfleet Academy is delivering. So I couldn't be well.

1040
01:06:27.800 --> 01:06:31.360
That goes back to the one UH fan that said

1041
01:06:31.400 --> 01:06:36.119
that he was disappointed because it was so predictable and

1042
01:06:36.159 --> 01:06:38.480
the cocky white male and one thing I disagree with.

1043
01:06:38.559 --> 01:06:43.599
I don't think that the two males were I don't

1044
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:46.960
think there was any toxic behavior with that. I didn't

1045
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:50.320
see that in there. Yeah, they get put in their places,

1046
01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:54.320
but you know they say it's predictable. It's like, well,

1047
01:06:55.400 --> 01:06:58.079
I kind of yeah, I agree with you. I think

1048
01:06:58.159 --> 01:07:03.519
it's it's fresh because it's different, and it's also because

1049
01:07:03.559 --> 01:07:05.840
I know the I always want to say I always

1050
01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:08.719
want to say post apocalyptic, and that's not really right.

1051
01:07:08.760 --> 01:07:13.639
Because it's not. But yeah, but it's you know because

1052
01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:17.920
the the you know, Earth and Startfillet Academy isn't destroyed.

1053
01:07:18.000 --> 01:07:21.480
But you know, they've had a they've had a collective trauma,

1054
01:07:22.440 --> 01:07:27.199
and so yeah, they just have to they have to

1055
01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:30.639
find their way. I think what A said about you know,

1056
01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:33.039
the things that will get you through those those are

1057
01:07:33.039 --> 01:07:35.320
what's whatever, those qualities where I'm meant to write it

1058
01:07:35.320 --> 01:07:38.719
down and I didn't. But she's got some great lines.

1059
01:07:38.760 --> 01:07:43.920
She's she's wise for a half whatever the half Pellia

1060
01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:50.280
character that she is, what is that lantheon or what

1061
01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:58.519
I'm thinking, Okay, brilliant I can't either.

1062
01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:03.360
Bringing her on board I think was the smartest thing

1063
01:08:03.400 --> 01:08:06.719
they did, because every line that she delivers, every scene

1064
01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:10.159
that she's in, is just just wonderful. I mean even

1065
01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:12.119
when when you know, she takes off her shoes and

1066
01:08:12.199 --> 01:08:14.800
she puts her feet up, when when uh, when thought

1067
01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:17.960
comes in and says that they should once again, and

1068
01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:20.279
she's there with her bare feet, and it's just like,

1069
01:08:20.840 --> 01:08:23.520
you know, I don't think anyone else could pull those

1070
01:08:23.520 --> 01:08:27.840
scenes off except for her. You know, she's she's just

1071
01:08:28.079 --> 01:08:31.239
every scene that she's in, she's brilliant I just I

1072
01:08:31.279 --> 01:08:32.600
think she's great, and.

1073
01:08:32.560 --> 01:08:36.560
I think we're lucky to have We're lucky to absolutely agree,

1074
01:08:37.720 --> 01:08:40.479
and she's teeny tiny.

1075
01:08:43.159 --> 01:08:46.199
I was gonna say, before we get to birthdays, I

1076
01:08:46.239 --> 01:08:49.439
think I see a theme here with us with our host.

1077
01:08:50.319 --> 01:08:54.439
The fans get eight point six and the host given

1078
01:08:54.439 --> 01:09:01.359
eight point five again mm hmm, and what's their a.

1079
01:09:03.560 --> 01:09:07.720
Eight point five? It's really good that.

1080
01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:11.279
Yes, I think that might be the highest we've had

1081
01:09:11.399 --> 01:09:11.960
so far.

1082
01:09:13.039 --> 01:09:18.520
Well, Jimmy, you said something to this effect. You said,

1083
01:09:19.199 --> 01:09:21.039
you know, for me, it's a breath of fresh air.

1084
01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:25.680
Feels very optimistic, very hopeful. It's nice to like connect

1085
01:09:25.720 --> 01:09:29.239
with these younger characters. Every scene does not have to

1086
01:09:29.279 --> 01:09:34.079
be about the end of the galaxy, Nope.

1087
01:09:35.119 --> 01:09:38.880
And you know, like that one guy was saying about

1088
01:09:38.920 --> 01:09:42.560
the white males being in the place, you know, they

1089
01:09:43.399 --> 01:09:47.520
these characters, like I think Paul said, they're growing and

1090
01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:52.039
they're learning, and you know, you have to be at

1091
01:09:52.039 --> 01:09:56.039
the bottom before you can be at the top. And

1092
01:09:56.079 --> 01:10:00.359
so you know, we're seeing these characters learn these less

1093
01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:04.000
We're watching them learn to be leaders and learn to

1094
01:10:04.079 --> 01:10:07.720
be friends and count on each other and build these

1095
01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:12.039
relationships that every other Star Trek series has already had

1096
01:10:12.039 --> 01:10:15.520
built into it, and we're getting to see it flourish

1097
01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:19.199
and grow from the ground up. So I think it's

1098
01:10:19.199 --> 01:10:19.800
every and.

1099
01:10:19.840 --> 01:10:25.159
Jim from like my standpoint, like all these people, mostly

1100
01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:28.880
white males, who are saying, you know, Star Star Trek

1101
01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:34.119
is so woke, blah blah blah, this and that. What

1102
01:10:34.239 --> 01:10:37.039
you don't realize, or what maybe many people don't think about,

1103
01:10:37.119 --> 01:10:39.039
is that for two hundred and fifty years in the

1104
01:10:39.159 --> 01:10:42.840
United States, the culture has been dominated by white males.

1105
01:10:42.840 --> 01:10:46.000
So if you get like ten or twenty years of

1106
01:10:46.600 --> 01:10:51.560
shows that really focus on other people, that is that's

1107
01:10:51.560 --> 01:10:56.079
a drop in the bucket in the culture of the

1108
01:10:56.239 --> 01:10:59.560
United States in general. So everybody, you know, not everybody,

1109
01:10:59.560 --> 01:11:02.399
but like men, folks, like one of our reviewers, you know,

1110
01:11:02.920 --> 01:11:05.560
has something to say about that. Oh, I's so predictable,

1111
01:11:05.680 --> 01:11:09.079
you know that. Yeah, it's about empowerment, man, It's about

1112
01:11:09.119 --> 01:11:12.800
showing people who have not traditionally had power that they

1113
01:11:12.920 --> 01:11:15.319
have the ability to lead, that they have the ability

1114
01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:17.520
to have power, that they have the ability to like

1115
01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:22.319
steer the direction that a society is going. So sorry

1116
01:11:23.039 --> 01:11:24.880
that Star Trek has always been about.

1117
01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:28.600
But one thing that I appreciate and I mentioned it before,

1118
01:11:28.800 --> 01:11:33.319
but I appreciate the different body types, you know, because

1119
01:11:33.399 --> 01:11:36.920
usually get the little stick figured people, and that was

1120
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:39.600
a big thing in you know, Hollywood is guilty of

1121
01:11:40.720 --> 01:11:45.479
doing that. But I don't know how many you know,

1122
01:11:45.600 --> 01:11:48.720
ugly comments about ooh, didn't they have a zimpig back?

1123
01:11:48.840 --> 01:11:52.439
You know, and don't they have a zimpig? Especially I

1124
01:11:52.520 --> 01:11:58.039
mean real body shaming and well, because I know where

1125
01:11:58.079 --> 01:12:01.000
that you know, what the that comes from. You know,

1126
01:12:01.039 --> 01:12:05.239
people have been emboldened, but yeah it's it's you know,

1127
01:12:05.399 --> 01:12:09.439
or or that somebody's older, uh, you know, but body

1128
01:12:09.520 --> 01:12:13.079
shaming and age shaming and everything. No, uh, nope, not

1129
01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:17.439
okay because in Starfleet because what was there was something

1130
01:12:18.479 --> 01:12:21.640
I think it was a post by Bob Picardo and

1131
01:12:21.720 --> 01:12:26.600
he was actually with Bill Nye, I think the science

1132
01:12:26.600 --> 01:12:29.079
guy that said you're never too old to be a

1133
01:12:29.119 --> 01:12:32.720
Starfleet captain or something like that, and I thought, yeah,

1134
01:12:32.840 --> 01:12:36.279
you know, that's I think that's wonderful. So just just

1135
01:12:36.399 --> 01:12:40.239
let's let's let people you know, these these beings, you know,

1136
01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:43.640
these whether they're humans or whatever, let them be whatever

1137
01:12:43.760 --> 01:12:46.720
shape they are. And for those of us that have

1138
01:12:46.720 --> 01:12:49.600
have you know, felt that, you know, been teased their

1139
01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:53.079
whole lives for not being a stick figure. You know,

1140
01:12:53.159 --> 01:12:56.520
it's nice to see somebody that you know is a

1141
01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:59.199
little bit you know, has some you know a little

1142
01:12:59.199 --> 01:12:59.760
bit plumper.

1143
01:13:00.079 --> 01:13:00.560
I think.

1144
01:13:02.119 --> 01:13:04.600
I think we need to continue on on this show

1145
01:13:04.920 --> 01:13:08.479
and in especially on the Facebook page, because that's our

1146
01:13:08.479 --> 01:13:11.359
platform and we're on right. If someone cannot behave politely

1147
01:13:11.600 --> 01:13:13.880
or courteously or respectfully or act like you know, and

1148
01:13:14.359 --> 01:13:19.239
and if they interpret enlightenment as woke, you're gone.

1149
01:13:19.439 --> 01:13:19.640
You know.

1150
01:13:19.800 --> 01:13:21.359
I just think it's as simple. It's not that we

1151
01:13:21.399 --> 01:13:24.319
you know, do you do dishagree? No, If you can't

1152
01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:27.319
behave respectfully or nicely, it's just like behavior. It's like

1153
01:13:28.199 --> 01:13:30.960
joining our Facebook group. It's like a it's like a bar.

1154
01:13:31.399 --> 01:13:33.600
I don't know if people go to bars, but the

1155
01:13:33.680 --> 01:13:36.880
rules are very simple. Behave or be gone. I agree.

1156
01:13:36.960 --> 01:13:38.840
And that's how it works is if you can't be nice,

1157
01:13:39.279 --> 01:13:39.920
you're out.

1158
01:13:41.039 --> 01:13:47.039
Okay, the most part of the decent people, you know,

1159
01:13:47.439 --> 01:13:50.640
I'll like, I'll put up a post, i will troll them.

1160
01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:54.680
You guys will notice when I'm trolling. I will troll them,

1161
01:13:54.920 --> 01:13:57.840
and if they fall for it, they go right out.

1162
01:13:58.159 --> 01:14:04.199
Yeah I've had a fight. Yeah, Yeah, I'll keep that high.

1163
01:14:04.199 --> 01:14:05.920
But we went through this one Tilly too.

1164
01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:11.239
I'm gonna say v just wait till you get Chantasy

1165
01:14:11.319 --> 01:14:14.880
Discovery and you'll see our love of character Tilly, which

1166
01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:20.960
is not a standard figured woman, but we love that character.

1167
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:21.520
Yeah.

1168
01:14:21.640 --> 01:14:24.279
Yeah, because that's the one thing I just was thinking

1169
01:14:24.359 --> 01:14:30.359
about it because seeing the posts on like the convention pages,

1170
01:14:31.000 --> 01:14:33.520
and there are people that are fairly new to it

1171
01:14:33.600 --> 01:14:36.159
and they say, well, you know, I'm not the same

1172
01:14:36.279 --> 01:14:40.039
shape or size or age as the character that I

1173
01:14:40.119 --> 01:14:46.760
want to cosplay, and they get just the most welcoming warmth.

1174
01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:51.119
They say, you know, we welcome you. You can be whatever.

1175
01:14:51.319 --> 01:14:53.399
You know, We're not gonna we're not gonna judge you,

1176
01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:57.880
we're not going to shame you. And just wonder those

1177
01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:01.920
people that our body shaming and everything. Uh, they I

1178
01:15:01.920 --> 01:15:04.479
don't know where they bullies in school or where they bullied,

1179
01:15:04.880 --> 01:15:08.520
and this is their chance to you know, from behind

1180
01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:14.119
a keyboard. People are always braver, but uh yeah, just

1181
01:15:14.119 --> 01:15:16.079
just don't you know, there's no need for it.

1182
01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:18.239
Well.

1183
01:15:18.439 --> 01:15:22.079
The one thing though, people forget that I don't hear

1184
01:15:22.119 --> 01:15:29.039
anybody mentioned the Silver Fox himself, Admiral Vance. Is he

1185
01:15:29.159 --> 01:15:31.279
not the coolest dude? Yeah?

1186
01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:35.439
He's so cool. And like, you know, V was talking

1187
01:15:35.479 --> 01:15:39.279
about the uniforms and stuff earlier or no, maybe it

1188
01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:42.600
was Charles, but like, I am so much more into

1189
01:15:43.039 --> 01:15:46.079
the whole esthetic that everybody's wearing these days than I

1190
01:15:46.279 --> 01:15:49.239
was at the end of Discovery. I don't know what

1191
01:15:49.279 --> 01:15:52.600
the McDonald's uniforms were at the end of the Discovery,

1192
01:15:52.720 --> 01:15:57.239
but they look so much better. And Admiral vance Man,

1193
01:15:57.279 --> 01:16:01.479
his uniform is great. He's he's always he's just such

1194
01:16:01.479 --> 01:16:02.239
a great character.

1195
01:16:02.359 --> 01:16:04.880
He really But there's always been a I will say,

1196
01:16:05.000 --> 01:16:08.319
like the Silver Fox. Yeah, there's always been a double standard.

1197
01:16:09.159 --> 01:16:12.199
It's okay for men to be older or you know,

1198
01:16:12.359 --> 01:16:14.960
have a you know, more extra poundage on them, but

1199
01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:17.479
you know, the same does not go for women. It's

1200
01:16:17.600 --> 01:16:21.600
just the hypocrisy that's been going on, you know, especially

1201
01:16:21.640 --> 01:16:23.680
like in Hollywood forever, and I see it in other

1202
01:16:23.720 --> 01:16:26.520
places too, where you know.

1203
01:16:27.640 --> 01:16:32.840
So, yeah, do you do you think that Holly Hunter

1204
01:16:33.279 --> 01:16:36.920
is like she's you know, she's probably about the same age.

1205
01:16:37.039 --> 01:16:38.039
Is so dead fair?

1206
01:16:38.840 --> 01:16:41.600
I don't know, yeah, she's I think where did I

1207
01:16:41.640 --> 01:16:44.199
see it? We were because on our page and I

1208
01:16:44.279 --> 01:16:46.640
was saying, you know that she I just love her

1209
01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:49.000
so much, and I've got just a huge girl crush

1210
01:16:49.039 --> 01:16:51.880
on her and I think so yeah, but I mean

1211
01:16:51.920 --> 01:16:55.199
she looks fantastic for I think somebody said she was

1212
01:16:55.239 --> 01:16:56.920
like sixty five.

1213
01:16:57.159 --> 01:16:57.520
I don't know.

1214
01:16:57.520 --> 01:17:04.439
Can somebody google Holly Hunter's age, but I know that is.

1215
01:17:06.720 --> 01:17:09.279
But also if you've seen her, she because I know

1216
01:17:09.319 --> 01:17:12.960
that in real life, Holly Hunter Hunter works out.

1217
01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:14.279
Was born in fifty eight.

1218
01:17:14.840 --> 01:17:15.920
She's born in fifty eight.

1219
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:22.479
Okay, she's almost over the almost sixty, but you know,

1220
01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:25.720
I want to, but I mean she's ripped.

1221
01:17:26.239 --> 01:17:28.159
Yeah, really, I remember.

1222
01:17:27.960 --> 01:17:30.359
I remember way back when she's always been like that,

1223
01:17:30.439 --> 01:17:33.000
and it's like, you know, to steal the line from

1224
01:17:33.079 --> 01:17:38.479
when Harry met Sally, I'll have what she's having.

1225
01:17:40.199 --> 01:17:42.119
But the casting on this show is great. I really

1226
01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:44.600
hope we don't have to wait till the last couple

1227
01:17:44.640 --> 01:17:47.239
of episodes to get Paul Gimi back, right, because.

1228
01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:47.439
I want to.

1229
01:17:48.079 --> 01:17:51.079
I mean, he's a lead, lead, lead name in the credits, right,

1230
01:17:51.119 --> 01:17:53.680
I mean, in every episode. So it's like, I good

1231
01:17:53.720 --> 01:17:56.439
that it's a couple of establishing episodes to kind of

1232
01:17:56.439 --> 01:17:59.840
get everybody, you know, fixated, so we know who everyone is.

1233
01:17:59.840 --> 01:18:02.119
But I really hope I bring him back soon before

1234
01:18:02.159 --> 01:18:06.199
the finale. But it's it's just so fun, you know,

1235
01:18:06.319 --> 01:18:12.720
really really fun, well made, you know, and and refreshingly entertaining.

1236
01:18:14.560 --> 01:18:19.439
Definitely, I couldn't agree more, couldn't agree more.

1237
01:18:19.560 --> 01:18:22.600
It's like I was, I would say, real quick in

1238
01:18:22.640 --> 01:18:28.960
the first episode where when Thought gets injured and you know,

1239
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:31.880
they have to fix her up and everything, and jay

1240
01:18:31.960 --> 01:18:34.920
Dan is there and when she they thought she was dead.

1241
01:18:34.960 --> 01:18:37.800
But then she wakes up and she like, you know,

1242
01:18:37.880 --> 01:18:41.279
like pats him on the back, except she's like super strong,

1243
01:18:41.319 --> 01:18:45.279
and he goes flying and then you don't see him,

1244
01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:50.000
but you just hear this. Ow just I'd missed that

1245
01:18:50.159 --> 01:18:53.920
the first time. And uh, you know it's another thing

1246
01:18:53.960 --> 01:18:55.680
like when he was doing the you know, that just

1247
01:18:55.720 --> 01:18:59.479
goes with him being a kinder, gentler, you know, more

1248
01:18:59.560 --> 01:19:02.840
humble cling on. You know, he just gets hurled across

1249
01:19:02.880 --> 01:19:07.359
the room because he saved uh you know, the Fox life,

1250
01:19:07.359 --> 01:19:11.760
and he just you know, he just says, al, I

1251
01:19:11.760 --> 01:19:16.199
don't know, well, you.

1252
01:19:16.119 --> 01:19:21.119

I'm still a part of the show where we do.

1268
01:20:48.840 --> 01:20:52.920
And we always start off saying not remembering those our

01:20:53.199 --> 01:20:56.279
sci fi family who are no longer with us, And

1270
01:20:56.439 --> 01:20:57.880

We're good at the hosting bat at the tech. But

1272

01:21:27.800 --> 01:21:31.159
ripe old age of eighty five years old. Thank you

1280

Emily Banks for your contributions to Star Trek and beyond.

1281
01:21:36.479 --> 01:21:41.119
Happy Birthday as well to Gilbert Gerard, the American Oh

1282
01:21:41.199 --> 01:21:48.640
click click click, so amazing, the American actor, of course,

1283
01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:52.920
who is best known as Captain William buck Rogers in

1284
01:21:52.960 --> 01:21:55.800
the nineteen or from the nineteen seventy nine to nineteen

1285
01:21:55.840 --> 01:21:59.760
eighty one television series Buck Rogers in the twenty fifth

1286
01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:03.239
see Jim, I have to admit something to you, buddy,

1287
01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:07.439
I still haven't seen this. I have a context for

1288
01:22:07.479 --> 01:22:08.920
buck Rogers. I really don't.

1289
01:22:08.920 --> 01:22:13.560
Oh my god, I've seen so much science fiction, but

1290
01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:15.920
buck Rogers is just not one that I've seen.

1291
01:22:16.039 --> 01:22:20.359
So I got to tell you something that Paul is

1292
01:22:20.439 --> 01:22:23.880
probably right there with me. I saw buck Rogers in

1293
01:22:24.000 --> 01:22:26.680
the movie thing. Did you see the movie theater? Paul?

1294
01:22:27.359 --> 01:22:29.800
Now, I saw Battles Start galact Again the theater. But

1295
01:22:30.199 --> 01:22:32.880
because I was I was in a vacation in Canada

1296

about a month before it premiered on ABC and UH

1297
01:22:38.119 --> 01:22:41.439
and they actually released it in international markets as a

1298
01:22:41.439 --> 01:22:44.239
as a theatrical release. I got to see the Galactica

1299
01:22:44.239 --> 01:22:47.880
pilot as a movie in theater, but I would not

1300
01:22:48.000 --> 01:22:53.840
have Buck Rogers. But yeah, I haven't seen that episodes.

1301
01:22:53.880 --> 01:22:58.720

01:24:05.439 --> 01:24:08.720
Barney Miller. I you know, I will admit to having

1318
01:24:08.840 --> 01:24:12.680
seen probably a handful of those episodes. Not intimately aware

1319
01:24:12.840 --> 01:24:17.239
of Barney Miller, but I think many people were really

1320
01:24:17.920 --> 01:24:20.680
you know, into that show. I was more familiar with

1321
01:24:20.720 --> 01:24:24.399
Sandford and Son, where I think he also had an appearance,

1322
01:24:24.439 --> 01:24:28.720
So happy birthday to Gregory Sierra.

1323
01:24:29.279 --> 01:24:36.359
Birthday of the eighth. Okay, yeah, but Beneath the Planet

1324
01:24:36.359 --> 01:24:41.119

1326
01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:49.399
Melted face psych from beneath the Planet of the Apes.

01:24:49.439 --> 01:24:53.600
Thank you, the subterranean mutant psychic.

this week to actor Ernest Borgnine. He of course portrayed

1334
01:25:15.760 --> 01:25:19.760
journalist Harry Booth in The Black Hole. He also played

1335
01:25:20.000 --> 01:25:24.039
the Cabby in the John Carpenter classic Escape from New York.

1336
01:25:24.119 --> 01:25:28.640
But I remember and know and love him as playing

1337
01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:33.840
Dominic Santini on Airwolf, one of my literal favorite shows

1338
01:25:33.920 --> 01:25:36.119
when I was a little boy back in the eighties.

1339
01:25:36.239 --> 01:25:39.560
So thank you so much, Ernest Borgnine for all the

01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:41.079

01:27:29.359 --> 01:27:32.159
in our remembrance pile. This week we are saying happy

1365
01:27:32.159 --> 01:27:37.520
birthday to Arnold Moss, the actor who played Anton Gridean

1366
01:27:37.920 --> 01:27:41.520
slash Codos, the executioner in that classic t O S

1367
01:27:42.079 --> 01:27:45.119
first season episode The Contents of the King, one of

1368
01:27:45.119 --> 01:27:51.640
the best referenced back again in Star Trek Discovery. I

1369
01:27:51.680 --> 01:27:55.840
love this episode so much. In fact, the summer camp

1370
01:27:55.880 --> 01:27:59.359
that I go to every year actually is an arts camp,

1371
01:27:59.399 --> 01:28:02.279
and one of the workshops that I run during this

1372
01:28:02.359 --> 01:28:07.439
camp is reading of Star Trek scripts and then sort

1373
01:28:07.439 --> 01:28:12.720
of permutating of what the moral and social implications of

1374
01:28:12.760 --> 01:28:15.680
that of that script are. And The Conscience of the

1375
01:28:15.760 --> 01:28:18.399
King is one of my favorites. I've taken this script

1376
01:28:18.399 --> 01:28:21.119
and I've honed it down to like a ten minute read,

1377
01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:25.520
and it'll keep people talking for an hour. It's really amazing.

1378
01:28:25.600 --> 01:28:29.000
So I really really love Arnold Moss and his performance

1379
01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:32.760
in this episode. One of my personal favorites, like top

1380
01:28:32.840 --> 01:28:37.159
five episodes of TOS The Conscience of the King. Thank

1381
01:28:37.199 --> 01:28:41.920
you so much for playing Anton Critean and Kodos the Executioner, and.

1382
01:28:41.920 --> 01:28:47.039
So hilarious that this is always such a reverential segment

1383
01:28:47.039 --> 01:28:49.079
of the show, right, because you're paying respects to Yeah,

1384
01:28:49.119 --> 01:28:51.000
you know people have gone before, right, but I left

1385
01:28:51.000 --> 01:28:52.600
how a minute ago just referred to it as our

1386
01:28:52.640 --> 01:28:53.600
remembrance pile.

1387
01:29:00.000 --> 01:29:06.039
I'm gonna say anything here. It's like I don't want

1388
01:29:06.159 --> 01:29:13.439
to get on the cart. I feel happy, I remember,

1389
01:29:13.960 --> 01:29:15.039
I'll go for a walk.

1390
01:29:16.079 --> 01:29:22.800
Well with reference, what was.

1391
01:29:22.760 --> 01:29:25.479
The what was the name of the book that we read,

1392
01:29:25.520 --> 01:29:26.920
the Discovery book.

1393
01:29:27.720 --> 01:29:30.159
About Drastic Measures?

1394
01:29:30.279 --> 01:29:31.640
Was that it out?

1395
01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:35.359
Yeah, it's such a good book because you had like

1396
01:29:35.439 --> 01:29:40.039
the conscious of the King mixed with with Jason Isaac's

1397
01:29:40.119 --> 01:29:44.399
character whose name I am, like, what's his name?

1398
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:46.239
Save me? Jim?

1399
01:29:47.479 --> 01:29:49.680
Thank you who ever said that?

1400
01:29:52.840 --> 01:29:53.199
There we go.

1401
01:29:53.800 --> 01:29:56.960
Even Lieutenant Georgio shows up in that book too.

1402
01:29:57.039 --> 01:30:00.359
She does, she does. It's actually a great book because

1403
01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:04.359
it it like, not only does it tie tos to

1404
01:30:04.479 --> 01:30:07.840
like Discovery, but I feel like it helps bring out

1405
01:30:07.880 --> 01:30:10.840
some of the cool stuff about the Lorca character in

1406
01:30:10.880 --> 01:30:13.279
that one. Anyway, great book. Check it out.

1407

1440
01:32:56.159 --> 01:32:58.720
birthday torch to Paul.

1441
01:33:02.039 --> 01:33:04.079
Thank you, my friend. We got all kinds of folks

1442
01:33:04.079 --> 01:33:07.479
going on here this week, don't we. Okay, let's give

1443
01:33:07.479 --> 01:33:10.039
it up. I love this episode doesn't get as much

1444
01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:13.520
heat as it should. But man, Lou Antonio in, let

1445
01:33:13.560 --> 01:33:17.159
that be your last battlefield. Everyone loves to give grief

1446
01:33:17.279 --> 01:33:20.600
to season three of the original series, right, but this

1447
01:33:20.680 --> 01:33:26.000
is a standout, right because it tackled racism in an

1448
01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:30.199
incredibly unique way and really used the lens of science

1449
01:33:30.239 --> 01:33:33.319
fictions and like no other Plus you had to go

1450
01:33:33.359 --> 01:33:36.279
up against the great Frank Gorshan and like every scene

1451
01:33:36.560 --> 01:33:39.840
which is like acting opposite a nuclear reactor. I mean,

1452
01:33:39.920 --> 01:33:43.239
my god, it's fair. Yeah, it's just crazy. But man,

1453
01:33:43.399 --> 01:33:46.840
he held his own and it's an incredible performance. I mean, really,

1454
01:33:47.319 --> 01:33:51.279
he represents every oppressed person basically that has ever existed

1455
01:33:51.359 --> 01:33:54.720
in his role. I mean, he did a phenomenal jos Low,

1456
01:33:55.119 --> 01:33:58.720
So it's a it's an iconic performance, I think. I

1457
01:33:58.800 --> 01:34:01.640
just think it's an absolutely spect accurately, So I'm not props.

1458
01:34:01.640 --> 01:34:04.399
This is a guy who worked a ton. It was

1459
01:34:04.439 --> 01:34:06.840
in you know, some of the great pictures of the sixties.

1460
01:34:07.439 --> 01:34:10.640
Cool hand Luke comes to mind with Paul Newman. But

1461
01:34:10.800 --> 01:34:15.880
amazing performer. So really, really a phenomenal, phenomenal person, and

1462
01:34:16.720 --> 01:34:20.000
let's give it up next to again. Twenty four January,

1463
01:34:20.560 --> 01:34:26.840
the Great David Diggs. Okay, actor, rapper, singer, songwriter perlayed

1464
01:34:26.880 --> 01:34:30.239
just on Prodigy. We were loving this guy's work on Prodigy.

1465
01:34:30.319 --> 01:34:35.439
Is Commander Tysis the Andrian on there. But I'm hoping

1466
01:34:35.600 --> 01:34:40.840
folks are familiar with Avid Digg's work, in particular a

1467
01:34:40.880 --> 01:34:44.079
little production where he originated a role let's see what

1468
01:34:44.119 --> 01:34:46.720
was it called? Oh yeah, Hamilton. I don't know if

1469
01:34:46.760 --> 01:34:49.720
folks are familiar with the play Hamilton, but he originated

1470
01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:55.039
the role of Mark wis laet right, and just phenomenal, phenomenal.

1471
01:34:55.119 --> 01:34:56.840
It's still I think on Disney Plus where you can

1472
01:34:56.880 --> 01:35:00.680
watch it whenever you want to. But you've never seen Hamilton. Boy,

1473
01:35:00.680 --> 01:35:02.760
do I envy watching that for the first time. It's

1474
01:35:03.039 --> 01:35:08.239
unbelievable theater, it's great and w Days is just splendid

1475
01:35:08.279 --> 01:35:10.760
in that wonderful performer. I can't wait to see what

1476
01:35:10.800 --> 01:35:14.600
he does next. So absolutely amazing. Happy birthday also to

1477
01:35:14.760 --> 01:35:19.199
John Beck, actor who played Raymond Boone in Deep Space

1478
01:35:19.279 --> 01:35:24.439
nine second season episode Tribunal uh and also Moonpie in

1479
01:35:24.479 --> 01:35:26.720

01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:29.479
haven't seen this one Rollerball, Uncle Jim.

1481
01:35:33.359 --> 01:35:34.720
I have seen this one.

1482
01:35:35.960 --> 01:35:38.520
Not the remake we're all trying to forget about that

1483
01:35:38.640 --> 01:35:41.880
nobody wants to talk rail, but the original with Jimmy Kahn.

1484
01:35:42.039 --> 01:35:43.039
And what a.

1485
01:35:42.920 --> 01:35:46.199
Picture, right, I mean, amazing stuff when when they's dating

1486
01:35:46.239 --> 01:35:52.880
around and the whole crowd is chanting John Chill, Well,

1487
01:35:53.319 --> 01:35:56.760
I know every year.

1488
01:35:56.840 --> 01:35:59.199
In about another two weeks, I think it is every year.

1489
01:35:59.359 --> 01:36:02.000
Not that I bought within the irregularity, but when I

1490
01:36:02.039 --> 01:36:05.600
look at the Super Bowl and the audience every single year,

1491
01:36:05.680 --> 01:36:07.800
I think of roller Ball I can't help it. It's

1492
01:36:07.840 --> 01:36:11.199
just like the parallels are way too sharp. You know,

1493
01:36:11.800 --> 01:36:14.239
a nation that's sort of, you know, doing its own

1494
01:36:14.279 --> 01:36:16.439
bread and circus, this thing to be distracted from what's

1495
01:36:16.479 --> 01:36:20.720
really going on. So pretty wild, but an integral part

1496
01:36:20.760 --> 01:36:24.359
of that movie, to be sure. John Beck Happy Birth

1497
01:36:24.520 --> 01:36:28.880
goes out to actress, agent, musician, and filmmaker Caitlyn Brown.

1498
01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:34.359
Kaitlin Brown. There. She is who played ty k Hatta

1499
01:36:34.680 --> 01:36:37.319
in Deep Space nine first season episode of The Passenger

1500
01:36:37.840 --> 01:36:42.239
and Vector in the Next Gen seven season episodes Gambit

1501
01:36:42.319 --> 01:36:44.520
Part one and Gambut Part two. A lot more makeup

1502
01:36:44.560 --> 01:36:50.439
going on there for Caitlin Brown, but Julie Caitlyn Brown,

1503
01:36:50.439 --> 01:36:53.119
I guess I should say keep it kind of neuty wise,

1504
01:36:53.159 --> 01:36:56.399
but really tremendous stuff. I like a Gambit that's a

1505
01:36:56.439 --> 01:36:59.439
great two parter, really good stuff there. So Caitlyn Brown

1506
01:36:59.439 --> 01:37:05.159
Happy Birth an integral part of the firmament of two

1507
01:37:05.159 --> 01:37:09.680
different Star Trek franchises there, which is cool, okay, mad props,

1508
01:37:09.760 --> 01:37:13.479
big respect going out to our next birthday person here,

1509
01:37:14.359 --> 01:37:18.760
James Cromwell. Okay, I mean, I cannot say enough things

1510
01:37:19.199 --> 01:37:23.359
about James Cromwell, one of the greats veteran actor, but

1511
01:37:23.520 --> 01:37:25.880
known particularly two Star Trek fans for his portrayal of

1512
01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:29.680
zeph from Cochrane in Star Trek First Contact, different from

1513
01:37:29.720 --> 01:37:33.159
the original series. From Cochrane, of course, he appeared as

1514
01:37:33.600 --> 01:37:38.000
Nay Rock in the Next Generation The Hunted, as Jungloum

1515
01:37:38.079 --> 01:37:41.840
Shrek in Next Gen's Birthrate Part one and Birthrate Part two,

1516
01:37:42.640 --> 01:37:49.039
and Haynok in Deep Base nine's Starship Down. But holy moly,

1517
01:37:49.239 --> 01:37:52.039
this is a man who is just ubiquitous, who cannot

1518
01:37:52.039 --> 01:37:55.640
even walk down the street without being Hey, you're that guy, right,

1519
01:37:55.880 --> 01:37:58.279
because he's been in like everything, Okay.

1520
01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:02.000
I mean one of my favorite movies, Babe, That'll do,

1521
01:38:02.479 --> 01:38:04.199
That'll do Case, That'll.

1522
01:38:03.920 --> 01:38:08.880
Do absolutely And he can play a bad guy really

1523
01:38:08.920 --> 01:38:11.680
well too. I mean he's a very likable gentleman in

1524
01:38:11.760 --> 01:38:13.439
terms of a lot of the roles he plays, which

1525
01:38:13.479 --> 01:38:15.479
are more like himself. But he was the Warden and

1526
01:38:15.520 --> 01:38:19.640
the Green Mile, right. He was a bitch corrupt cop

1527
01:38:19.800 --> 01:38:22.399
in l A Confidential. Nobody is not in the people

1528
01:38:22.439 --> 01:38:25.520
have seen La Confidential. That movie just is all kinds

1529
01:38:25.520 --> 01:38:30.359
of incredibly good. Uncle Jim, you I know this is

1530
01:38:30.600 --> 01:38:33.399
probably everybody on the show, But who watched all the

1531
01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:36.119
Family on here back in the seventies, early seventies.

1532
01:38:36.119 --> 01:38:41.399
Oh yeah, yeah, James Cromwell had a recurring role as

1533
01:38:41.479 --> 01:38:42.680
Archie's good buddy Stretched.

1534
01:38:43.199 --> 01:38:45.600
Yeah, back on that show way back in the day.

1535
01:38:45.760 --> 01:38:49.840
You know that was that was freaking Jim Cromwell. Right,

1536
01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:52.039
He's just been in everything forever, so it's.

1537
01:38:51.960 --> 01:38:55.960
Just sworn that he a very young James Cromwell was

1538
01:38:56.079 --> 01:39:00.680
in t OS. But maybe I'm hallucinating. I don't know.

1539
01:39:02.279 --> 01:39:04.680
If so, that's a great trivia question to look up.

1540
01:39:04.760 --> 01:39:05.680
I'm not familiar with No.

1541
01:39:05.840 --> 01:39:08.800
I saw him. I remember seeing him and I thought

1542
01:39:08.800 --> 01:39:11.079
that was him. I have to look it up anyway.

1543
01:39:11.640 --> 01:39:16.800
Yeah, but he's just done so much work and he

1544
01:39:16.800 --> 01:39:20.399
does a lot of voiceover work too. He's done voiceover

1545
01:39:20.399 --> 01:39:22.239
work as Zeph from Cochrane on lowers Ax, he was

1546
01:39:22.279 --> 01:39:25.279
on Batman the ed of Mid Series. He did an

1547
01:39:25.359 --> 01:39:28.159
uncredited bit as Zeph from Cochran on Star Turk Enterprise.

1548
01:39:29.439 --> 01:39:31.960
He's just all over the place, right, and just in

1549
01:39:32.039 --> 01:39:37.640
tons and tons of good work, just legendary. So just

1550
01:39:37.840 --> 01:39:41.039
really delighted to be able to wish him a happy

1551
01:39:41.079 --> 01:39:45.880
birthday there and then finally for me, Susannah Thompson okay,

1552
01:39:46.000 --> 01:39:52.039
who we acknowledge for being a most dynamic and indelible

1553
01:39:52.079 --> 01:39:56.279
boor queen in Voyager episode's Dark Frontier and then the

1554
01:39:56.319 --> 01:39:59.640
two part of Unimatrix zero and Unimtrix zero Part two.

1555
01:40:00.520 --> 01:40:04.439
She also portrayed Lenara Khan in the Deep Space nine

1556
01:40:04.520 --> 01:40:10.560
fourth season episode re Joined. So a very frequently working

1557
01:40:10.600 --> 01:40:13.239
actor has been on all kinds of great shows, including

1558
01:40:13.279 --> 01:40:16.640
a show favorite, The X Files. And I know a

1559
01:40:16.680 --> 01:40:20.479
lot of this are fans of here, so great to

1560
01:40:20.560 --> 01:40:23.159
be able to wish all these good folks a very

1561
01:40:23.199 --> 01:40:25.880
happy birthday, indeed, And let's see if there's a few

1562
01:40:26.159 --> 01:40:28.920
straight candles that we haven't quite lit yet. Uncle Jim,

1563
01:40:28.960 --> 01:40:29.399
what do you got?

1564
01:40:31.079 --> 01:40:33.960
Well, thank you so much, Paul. I do have a

1565
01:40:33.960 --> 01:40:36.039
couple of Klingons, and we want to start off with

1566
01:40:36.119 --> 01:40:41.079
Jorge Gudaes And there he is right there. He's a writer, director,

1567
01:40:41.119 --> 01:40:45.319
producer and actor who voiced Kura in the Star Trek

1568
01:40:45.319 --> 01:40:50.560
Prodigy second season episode a triple called Quest. Excellent episode

1569
01:40:50.840 --> 01:40:53.560

1570
01:40:53.640 --> 01:40:55.920

1573
01:41:06.319 --> 01:41:09.079
on Star Trek. We want to say happy birthday to

1574
01:41:09.119 --> 01:41:13.199

episode Day of the Dove. As I said, first female

1576
01:41:17.439 --> 01:41:21.960
klingon to ever appear in Star Trek. Happy birthday to

01:41:22.039 --> 01:41:25.760
Susan Howard and kap La to you and your family.

1578
01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:31.039
And last on my list, but definitely not least, the

1579
01:41:31.199 --> 01:41:36.199
awesome Deep Roy. He's an actor and stuntman who played

1580
01:41:36.319 --> 01:41:39.439

1581
01:41:39.520 --> 01:41:44.039

1582
01:41:44.159 --> 01:41:50.319
Flash Gordon Flash in the Words of David the Queens,

1583
01:41:50.399 --> 01:41:55.439
and he also he also played one and sixty five

1584
01:41:55.920 --> 01:42:01.920
Upah Loopahs in Charlie and the Chocolate Fact. And that

1585
01:42:02.039 --> 01:42:07.239
my friend wraps up our Star Trek birthdays. And now

1586
01:42:07.279 --> 01:42:10.640
it's time for Star Trek News and Eric is going

1587
01:42:10.680 --> 01:42:11.479
to get us started.

1588
01:42:13.239 --> 01:42:16.479
Jim, I am so excited about this article because as

1589
01:42:16.520 --> 01:42:20.119
an avid Star Trek comic reader, I'm always excited about

1590
01:42:20.279 --> 01:42:26.000
new titles coming to our comic shelves, and here we

1591
01:42:26.079 --> 01:42:31.159
have a new Star Trek Starfleet Academy tie in comic series.

1592
01:42:31.239 --> 01:42:35.640
It's been announced for this coming April. The first season

1593
01:42:35.840 --> 01:42:39.960
of Starfleet of Star Trek Starfleet Academy has just begun,

1594
01:42:40.119 --> 01:42:43.800
and RDIDW Publishing has announced a new tie in comic

1595
01:42:43.920 --> 01:42:48.359
series set to beam down after the season concludes this spring,

1596
01:42:49.039 --> 01:42:53.920
Debuting in April twenty twenty six. Starfleet Star Trek Starfleet

1597
01:42:53.960 --> 01:42:59.279
Academy Lost Contact will be a five issue limited series

1598
01:42:59.319 --> 01:43:02.640
starring the lead characters from the new television show. The

1599
01:43:02.720 --> 01:43:06.640
series will be written by Lane Morgan and illustrated by

1600
01:43:06.840 --> 01:43:12.479
Korally Espouna and Nora Serrano. Here's a description of the

1601
01:43:12.600 --> 01:43:19.359
Lost Contact storyline. Caleb, Genesis, Jaden, Kyle, and Tarima are

1602
01:43:19.439 --> 01:43:24.039
all students of Starfleet Academy, the illustrious school responsible for

1603
01:43:24.079 --> 01:43:28.039
the Federation's best. One day, they dream to serve as

1604
01:43:28.119 --> 01:43:30.880
great leaders on board ships of their own, to study

1605
01:43:30.920 --> 01:43:36.279
the cultural intricacies of sentient life amongst the galaxy, or

1606
01:43:36.319 --> 01:43:39.840
to go where no person has explored before. But today,

1607
01:43:40.279 --> 01:43:43.720
their mission is simply to execute a survey simulation on

1608
01:43:43.760 --> 01:43:49.119
a lifeless, low oxygen planet, or at least it seems

1609
01:43:49.159 --> 01:43:53.039
simple until a huge storm cuts off their contact with

1610
01:43:53.079 --> 01:43:58.000
their teachers aboard the Athena and something impossible appears an alien.

1611
01:43:58.439 --> 01:44:01.560
Now they have to work together and use everything they've

1612
01:44:01.640 --> 01:44:04.720
learned in class about first Contact to make it off

1613
01:44:04.760 --> 01:44:09.920
the planet alive. The first issue of Star Trek Starfleet Academy,

1614
01:44:10.359 --> 01:44:14.920
Lost Contact, will arrive on April fifteenth. The first season

1615
01:44:15.000 --> 01:44:21.520
of Starfleet Academy concludes on March twelfth. You know, we'll

1616
01:44:21.560 --> 01:44:25.880
see how this one translates. IDW takes all sorts of

1617
01:44:25.920 --> 01:44:30.560
shots with their comics these days. You know, we've had

1618
01:44:30.760 --> 01:44:34.760
a comic series tied to almost every well certainly every

1619
01:44:35.079 --> 01:44:37.000
series that we've actually gotten, and then there have been

1620
01:44:37.079 --> 01:44:41.119
several other titles that have been you know, pretty active

1621
01:44:41.119 --> 01:44:43.880
throughout the last few years. So I'm excited to have

1622
01:44:43.960 --> 01:44:51.039
more as Starfleet Academy. Hopefully these characters translate to the comics. Well,

1623
01:44:51.840 --> 01:44:54.000
for me, it's all about the writing. Man comics, you

1624
01:44:54.039 --> 01:44:57.600
have very short dialogue. It's like word bubbles. You got

1625
01:44:57.600 --> 01:45:01.680
to get your point across. I'm always a little skeptical

1626
01:45:01.760 --> 01:45:04.279
of comics that come directly on the heels of a

1627
01:45:04.319 --> 01:45:06.760
release of a show, because we have the characters even

1628
01:45:06.800 --> 01:45:10.119
been developed enough from me to understand, you know what

1629
01:45:10.279 --> 01:45:13.640
Jaden's voice will sound like, or what Genesis voice will

1630
01:45:13.640 --> 01:45:16.920
sound like. But you know, one way or another, it's

1631
01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:18.760
going to be in my box in April, so I'll

1632
01:45:18.760 --> 01:45:19.399
be reading it.

1633
01:45:21.039 --> 01:45:26.439
Maybe we'll review it on Comic Corner. Who knows? Mm hmm,

1634
01:45:28.760 --> 01:45:31.920
all right, and Paul, Paul, how's the next stay? I

1635
01:45:32.039 --> 01:45:35.159
put this one in here just for the toy guy himself.

1636
01:45:35.479 --> 01:45:37.880
Thanks Uncle Jim. Because, as we all know, a Star

1637
01:45:37.920 --> 01:45:42.079
Trek turns sixty. Nascell Toy Company is teasing a mystery

1638
01:45:42.159 --> 01:45:47.560
original series Wave three figureself, a well, not three figure set,

1639
01:45:48.800 --> 01:45:51.880
a figure set for Wave three because there's more than

1640
01:45:51.920 --> 01:45:55.399
three figures. So I Digress twenty twenty six is a

1641
01:45:55.479 --> 01:45:58.600
landmark here for Star Trek, marking the sixtieth anniversary of

1642
01:45:58.640 --> 01:46:02.439
the legendary series first episode, which aired on September eighth,

1643
01:46:02.640 --> 01:46:08.600
nineteen sixty six. Star Trek fans and merchandisers are already celebrating,

1644
01:46:08.640 --> 01:46:11.680
with lots more to come as the year unfolds. In

1645
01:46:11.720 --> 01:46:15.239
honor of the anniversary, Nascell Toys will be releasing its

1646
01:46:15.319 --> 01:46:19.119
Wave three action figures later this year, exact timing to

1647
01:46:19.159 --> 01:46:23.640
be confirmed, celebrating the original Bridge crew in what could

1648
01:46:23.640 --> 01:46:26.039
be for many collectors, the most exciting line of original

1649
01:46:26.079 --> 01:46:29.880
series figures to debut in the last twenty years. Nassell

1650
01:46:29.960 --> 01:46:32.720
has already unveiled the first one ten scale of paint

1651
01:46:32.760 --> 01:46:36.640
Master figures of Aurora, a spack, beautifully detailed and with

1652
01:46:36.680 --> 01:46:39.840
a promise from founder Brian volk Weiss, who we really

1653
01:46:39.840 --> 01:46:42.199
need to get on the show, Uncle Jim. I'm telling

1654
01:46:42.239 --> 01:46:45.840
you how many times do I gotta say? I'm suggested.

1655
01:46:46.600 --> 01:46:49.439
He's all over social media, very easy to man to find.

1656
01:46:49.840 --> 01:46:51.560
Gotta get him, Gotta get him, Gotta get him, Gotta

1657
01:46:51.560 --> 01:46:56.000
get him. Brian Wolgweis, with a promise from founder Brian

1658
01:46:56.079 --> 01:46:59.760
Vogwis to over deliver on accessories. But the figures that

1659
01:46:59.800 --> 01:47:05.279
have buzzing and guessing are two Wave three mystery figures

1660
01:47:05.319 --> 01:47:08.319
sold as a set. We call that a two pack.

1661
01:47:08.439 --> 01:47:12.119
In the business, clues have been scarce, but Wolkweis guarantees

1662
01:47:12.159 --> 01:47:15.199
these figures will make fans happy. So what's in the box?

1663
01:47:15.760 --> 01:47:18.800
At New York Comic COD twenty twenty five, wolk Weis

1664
01:47:18.880 --> 01:47:21.239
was quick to debunk the most popular fan theory. The

1665
01:47:21.319 --> 01:47:23.640
figures will not be the black and white Loki and

1666
01:47:23.680 --> 01:47:27.600
Biale from Let That Be Your Last Battlefield? Sorry one

1667
01:47:27.640 --> 01:47:29.640
fan asked if it would be Cisco and Dacs from

1668
01:47:29.640 --> 01:47:32.560
the Deep Space nine episode Trials and Tribulations, or a

1669
01:47:32.680 --> 01:47:37.600
non bipedal character like the Horda. Bulk Weiss remained tight lipped,

1670
01:47:37.640 --> 01:47:42.600
but equipped you're asking good questions. Other fans theorize that

1671
01:47:42.640 --> 01:47:46.279
it could point to a Kirkspot combo. We of course,

1672
01:47:46.319 --> 01:47:51.159
playmates gave us the Ammoc time leripa two pack of

1673
01:47:51.239 --> 01:47:53.560
Kirk and Spock, so maybe we're harkening back to that,

1674
01:47:53.960 --> 01:47:56.079
or potentially the gangster looks from a piece of the

1675
01:47:56.079 --> 01:47:59.000
Action or Depression era City on the Edge of Forever,

1676
01:47:59.600 --> 01:48:02.960
or to deep cut characters like Lieutenant Kyle and Leslie.

1677
01:48:03.000 --> 01:48:06.239
I don't think that's likely. N Cell plans to reveal

1678
01:48:06.279 --> 01:48:09.239
the mystery figures at the February twenty six Toy Fair.

1679
01:48:09.640 --> 01:48:12.119
Oh that's just down the road in a few weeks.

1680
01:48:12.960 --> 01:48:15.800
Brian Wolkweiss as sure is the wait to reveal will

1681
01:48:15.800 --> 01:48:17.840
be worth it. If you're not happy, he said a

1682
01:48:17.920 --> 01:48:20.760
New York Comic Con, you could d M me and say,

1683
01:48:20.920 --> 01:48:21.640
hump you.

1684
01:48:23.279 --> 01:48:25.439
Come on, we gotta get this guy on this out.

1685
01:48:26.680 --> 01:48:31.199
He speaks our language. Uncle Jimmy, you understand what we're saying, Okay,

1686
01:48:31.560 --> 01:48:33.199
we got a really good time with this guy. So

1687
01:48:33.760 --> 01:48:36.960
but anyhow, a lot of folks who listen to Yes Eric.

1688
01:48:37.039 --> 01:48:40.600
Sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. I was

1689
01:48:40.600 --> 01:48:45.520
just gonna say I'm still excited about Rand's beehive, Like

1690
01:48:45.600 --> 01:48:47.640
I want to see how that's modeled in the end.

1691
01:48:48.399 --> 01:48:49.960
I know.

1692
01:48:52.720 --> 01:48:57.039
Yeah, for those of you who aren't patrons and aren't

1693
01:48:57.119 --> 01:49:01.359
watching the video, we're going to get Kurt spot McCoy,

1694
01:49:01.520 --> 01:49:07.720
Ahora Sumu check Off, Scotty Chapel, Rand and then Mystery

1695
01:49:08.000 --> 01:49:08.560
two pass.

1696
01:49:10.760 --> 01:49:13.319
You know, if you want to blow my mind, Brian Volkweis,

1697
01:49:13.359 --> 01:49:17.840
you know what I'd love. I would like Menagerie original series,

1698
01:49:17.920 --> 01:49:20.560
Jeffrey Hunter, Pike and Pike and Wheelchair. That would be

1699
01:49:20.560 --> 01:49:23.079
the ultimate two pack for me, and you would never

1700
01:49:24.119 --> 01:49:26.439
I would blow my mind. I mean with that, that

1701
01:49:26.479 --> 01:49:29.399
would be amazing. Anyhow, what fans of the show who

1702
01:49:29.479 --> 01:49:32.199
aren't on Patreon and who never get to watch the

1703
01:49:32.279 --> 01:49:34.880
videos may not realize is just over there behind where

1704
01:49:34.920 --> 01:49:37.479
Eric sits, there is a giant console right full of

1705
01:49:37.600 --> 01:49:40.359
lights and flashing lights. And if you go to that console,

1706
01:49:40.720 --> 01:49:44.079
you can get the most latest immediate data on how

1707
01:49:44.199 --> 01:49:47.800
Star Trek franchise franchises are doing streaming wise, and so

1708
01:49:47.840 --> 01:49:50.600
to interpret the console for it. Tonight, we have our

1709
01:49:50.600 --> 01:49:52.960
good friend the who's going to go over? Are you

1710
01:49:53.560 --> 01:49:55.840
blinded by the flashing lights? V can you see?

1711
01:49:55.920 --> 01:49:56.239
Okay?

1712
01:49:56.319 --> 01:49:57.199
To a data?

1713
01:49:57.720 --> 01:50:03.760
Well here, this is actually great to read. So Starfleet yeah, right, how.

1714
01:50:03.720 --> 01:50:07.159
Is Starfleet Academy doing. It's such a loud console, right.

1715
01:50:11.119 --> 01:50:17.079
Yeah, Starfleet Academy rises on this streaming chart. Star Trek.

1716
01:50:17.159 --> 01:50:23.640
Starfleet Academy continues to stir up controversy among the fandom. Boy,

1717
01:50:23.680 --> 01:50:28.840
that's an understatement, and its overall streaming performance certainly can't

1718
01:50:28.880 --> 01:50:33.199
be what show runners were hoping for. On the worldwide stage,

1719
01:50:33.399 --> 01:50:37.520
Starfleet Academy only debuted at number nine on the Paramount

1720
01:50:37.520 --> 01:50:41.439
plus Top ten streaming chart, and it has struggled to

1721
01:50:41.560 --> 01:50:45.560
rise higher even with three episodes now under its belt,

1722
01:50:46.560 --> 01:50:52.880
at least on the surface. According to Flick's Patrol, Starfleet

1723
01:50:52.960 --> 01:50:57.000
Academy premiered at number three on the Paramount plus Top

1724
01:50:57.039 --> 01:51:04.840
ten overall from Amazon Channels chart episode oh sorry. The

1725
01:51:04.960 --> 01:51:09.520
overall chart Episode three Virus Reflux is now ranked number

1726
01:51:09.600 --> 01:51:15.439
two overall on those same Amazon channels as of Saturday,

1727
01:51:15.560 --> 01:51:20.800
January twenty fourth. In fact, Starfleet Academy is outperforming popular

1728
01:51:20.880 --> 01:51:25.520
titles like The Running Man Remake and Tulsa King on

1729
01:51:25.600 --> 01:51:30.319
the Paramount Plus Amazon Channel's overall rankings. Only the number

1730
01:51:30.359 --> 01:51:35.439
one Billy Bob Thornton lend lead Landman is doing better.

1731
01:51:36.159 --> 01:51:40.159
It's also worth noting that Starfleet Academy has performed well

1732
01:51:40.279 --> 01:51:46.399
in the United States, and from the very beginning the

1733
01:51:46.439 --> 01:51:53.439
streaming series debuted at number three domestically on Paramount Plus.

1734
01:51:54.880 --> 01:51:59.399
The console is giving us very contradictory information. It's it's like, say,

1735
01:52:00.960 --> 01:52:08.279
it's not going well at all, it's really terrible, hit

1736
01:52:08.319 --> 01:52:08.840
it really.

1737
01:52:08.640 --> 01:52:13.359
Hard doing better than those naysayers and those haters think.

1738
01:52:13.720 --> 01:52:13.880
So.

1739
01:52:15.279 --> 01:52:17.720
I think you really need to, basically, fans, if you

1740
01:52:17.760 --> 01:52:19.399
want to really get a sense of how the show is,

1741
01:52:19.439 --> 01:52:21.319
you just listen. Yeah, okay, I think we're the most

1742
01:52:21.319 --> 01:52:24.039
objective source of point of view you can get.

1743
01:52:24.159 --> 01:52:24.279
Right.

1744
01:52:24.560 --> 01:52:27.640
If we're giving in good numbers and we are you know,

1745
01:52:27.800 --> 01:52:29.680
and we're saying it's worth your time, I think you

1746
01:52:29.720 --> 01:52:31.880
can trust us because we're very objective and we're kind

1747
01:52:31.880 --> 01:52:32.439
of hard to please.

1748
01:52:34.159 --> 01:52:37.680
Mm hmm. Well, I think I did pretty well.

1749
01:52:37.520 --> 01:52:39.720
With the did you were?

1750
01:52:40.319 --> 01:52:41.239
You did great.

1751
01:52:42.520 --> 01:52:46.399
Yeah, but I think I modeled.

1752
01:52:47.399 --> 01:52:50.520
My favorite part was when when when Jim would hit

1753
01:52:50.520 --> 01:52:53.079
a button correctly, how he would squeal with glee in

1754
01:52:53.119 --> 01:52:54.920
the middle of wake whatever the next person.

1755
01:52:55.560 --> 01:52:59.840
You know what we need. We need one of those

1756
01:53:00.199 --> 01:53:08.520
remote tree dispensers like you have for your critters.

1757
01:53:10.159 --> 01:53:10.560
It did.

1758
01:53:12.880 --> 01:53:15.000
Positive reinforcements, right.

1759
01:53:15.119 --> 01:53:19.159
Yeah, that's too.

1760
01:53:20.199 --> 01:53:26.880
Fun. Thats up this week's podcast. Uh wasn't with us

1761
01:53:27.800 --> 01:53:31.479
through it anyway, even though it was a kind of

1762
01:53:31.479 --> 01:53:34.600
on the cuff show that wasn't. We did pretty well?

1763
01:53:34.960 --> 01:53:35.960
Yep, I think so.

1764
01:53:36.439 --> 01:53:38.960
I think we did pretty well. And I gotta tell

1765
01:53:38.960 --> 01:53:42.920

Uh huh. Yeah, it's.

1792
01:55:09.920 --> 01:55:13.399
It's just so great to have a new show back again, right,

1793
01:55:13.439 --> 01:55:17.239
and weekly interaction and we're all we're all talking about it.

1794
01:55:17.319 --> 01:55:20.119
It's just informs each week's show and it's just it's new.

1795
01:55:20.239 --> 01:55:21.319
We don't know what to expect.

1796
01:55:21.880 --> 01:55:23.079
We're all looking we're.

1797
01:55:23.000 --> 01:55:25.359
Just great, right. So it's just it's I love that,

1799
01:55:28.199 --> 01:55:30.199
guess are fun. But man, it's really great when there's

1800
01:55:30.199 --> 01:55:30.560
a new.

1801
01:55:30.479 --> 01:55:34.399
Show and this is a fun time and stuff. The

01:55:34.479 --> 01:55:39.680
Academy is is great, so which is even better. So

1803
01:55:39.880 --> 01:55:45.960
hopefully David David will be back next week to operate this.

1804
01:55:46.920 --> 01:55:50.640
I think it probably will be Uh yeah, so trek

1805
01:55:50.680 --> 01:55:53.600
talking nation out there. Just keep David in your thoughts.

1806
01:55:53.800 --> 01:55:57.840
Uh small health issues right now, but he's cranking it out.

1807
01:55:58.000 --> 01:56:02.520
And uh Jim did a great being our engineer, you know,

1808
01:56:03.279 --> 01:56:08.199
in in place of David. Uh So yeah, just get

1809
01:56:08.359 --> 01:56:11.800
just keep them in your thoughts, folks, And I'm positive,

1810
01:56:12.920 --> 01:56:14.920
almost positive that he'll be back next week.

1811
01:56:16.119 --> 01:56:18.680
Yes, let's let's let's hope because this work and the

1812
01:56:18.720 --> 01:56:20.880
switchboard thing is crazy for me.

1813
01:56:21.399 --> 01:56:23.399
It's beyond Jim's skill set.

1814
01:56:23.479 --> 01:56:26.399
Let's be honest, Yes, it's it's well.

1815
01:56:26.520 --> 01:56:28.680
I mean, you have him, it's not like we didn't

1816
01:56:28.680 --> 01:56:32.159
have them. So you you did something right. So that's awesome.

1817
01:56:32.880 --> 01:56:34.840
Well, the problem is that when we added David to

1818
01:56:34.880 --> 01:56:38.640
the podcast, the bar was raised, and so now we're

1819
01:56:38.680 --> 01:56:40.359
at the bar that we used to be at like

1820
01:56:40.520 --> 01:56:41.239
three years ago.

1821
01:56:43.359 --> 01:56:43.600
David.

1822
01:56:45.840 --> 01:56:47.119
Wow, that's funny.

1823
01:56:48.560 --> 01:56:54.239
Yeah, throwing again next week. I got through this time.

1824
01:56:54.600 --> 01:56:57.399
I can do it again. I just hope all the

1825
01:56:57.439 --> 01:57:00.199
best of David. I hope we recovered quick. Hope we

1826
01:57:00.239 --> 01:57:03.279
can come back and share his insights on Starfleet Academy

1827
01:57:03.520 --> 01:57:08.840
with us next week. So guys, that's it for another show. Everybody,

Problem?

1833
01:57:36.119 --> 01:57:38.600
Never let them see you walk on stage without your pants.

1834
01:57:38.760 --> 01:57:43.079
Never acknowledge that it's just keeping keep back, then, don't don't.

1835
01:57:43.239 --> 01:57:46.000
Don't show that there's a mistake. I won't notice, only

1836
01:57:46.079 --> 01:57:52.359
you notice. Well, I like it better without the video.

1837
01:57:57.079 --> 01:57:58.399
Something is crap into.

1838
01:58:02.000 --> 01:58:03.680
