00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.439
Talking and Beyond, Episode six hundred and seventy seven. I'm

13
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.560
your most excellent host, Uncle Jim. Welcome to the podcast.

14
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.439
Before I go too far, I'd like to go around

15
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.159
the room and introduce my awesome treks firts.

16
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.120
We're gonna start off with Paul Paul as our toy guy.

17
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.200
He's out in Portlay. How you doing tonight?

18
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:49.799
Paul doing well?

19
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:50.159
Sarah.

20
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:54.400
It has been colossally rainy a couple of days here

21
00:01:54.599 --> 00:02:00.000
in the p NW. It's been coming down very intense.

22
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.760
We're in the middle of one of our famous atmospheric rivers,

23
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.239
as we like to call them here, a torrential feat

24
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.199
where you get like a month worth of rain in

25
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.759
like two days, and so we're in like day one

26
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.599
of that today, and I am loving it. As a

27
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.759
native Oregonian, I'm a big rain fan, and so I

28
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.639
just dig it. It's great, it's very conducive to getting

29
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:26.800
things done. Into the magical forces of nature coming out.

30
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.240
So a good time, A good time to be in Portland.

31
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.080
Thanks all, Let's stick with Portland and head on over

32
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:35.639
to Eric.

33
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.039
How you doing, Eric, I'm doing pretty good. I'm kind

34
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.840
of with Paul. I'm not PNW born and bred, but

35
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.039
I do love the rain. Unfortunately my dog does not,

36
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.159
and so she suffers a little bit this time of year.

37
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.120
But you know, she's got the sweater, she's got the raincoat,

38
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.439
she's got the other shell. Basically she layers because she's

39
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.759
a kid from the Pacific Northwest, like all of us.

40
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.800
Wasn't that It wasn't that Eddie Rabbit that loved ring.

41
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:10.159
Raining night?

42
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:10.840
Yeah?

43
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.199
What Eric?

44
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:13.479
What kind of dog do you have?

45
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.199
She's like sixty percent pit bull and the rest is

46
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.759
Australian shepherd. It's the pitbull part that hates the rain

47
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:21.560
for sure.

48
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:28.080
Yeah, well, let's stick with our Portland theme and say

49
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.000
hello to David.

50
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.840
How I'm doing pretty well and I actually enjoyed away

51
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.800
And actually I've been out there just today in my

52
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:36.840
head got all wet and now it's all puffy, so

53
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:38.360
you know, don't mind me.

54
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.879
But you know it's funny when that happens, the rain,

55
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.919
the sky and when you go it lands on you,

56
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.240
and it's just it's amazing.

57
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.319
How it's magical nature. I guess.

58
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.919
Well, let's swing out to Las Vegas and say hello

59
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.240
to Charles. How are you doing tonight?

60
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:00.759
Doing good?

61
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.520
I'm jealous of the rain. I wish we were getting it.

62
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.240
We're getting the Southwest heat waves starting in so we

63
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.680
got eighties today, we could see high eighties this weekend.

64
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.879
We could see nineties next week, which is way too

65
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.360
early for March. We should be seeing nineties in April

66
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.720
or May. This is can be record breaking weather. Not

67
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:24.839
looking forward to it.

68
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.279
Let's swing out for Virginia, say hello.

69
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.920
Doing all right? Like I was saying to you all earlier.

70
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:38.639
Eighty five plus yesterday and snow today. I do not

71
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.279
like the heat. I will say that I love the colder,

72
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.800
chillier weather, so I feel more alive. Yesterday I felt

73
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:54.160
like I wanted to melt into a puddle. So so no,

74
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.600
I didn't say that I like the snow. Although I

75
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.920
did live in We did live in Port for several

76
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:07.319
years way back when, back in ninety eight, whenever we

77
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.879
moved out, I can't remember. Two thousand and three we

78
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.480
moved back. And so, yeah, I had a little bit

79
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.399
of trouble with the with the constant rain, especially when

80
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.120
you've got little kids that want to go outside and

81
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:25.920
they can't because it's raining and muddy. So but anyway,

82
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:27.000
beautiful outcoming.

83
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.680
You know we you know, we do appear v with

84
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.079
our kids. We sent them out in the rain and mud.

85
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.079
Okay, just let them out.

86
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:37.120
Good good luck.

87
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:37.560
Here.

88
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.839
I'm listen, I'm listening to me, and I'm like, what

89
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.000
is she talking about?

90
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:48.079
I mean, none of these if they didn't go out like.

91
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.399
That, they would never go out.

92
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.879
Yeah, we have the same attitude they have, like you

93
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:59.639
know Eric's talking about, like, yeah, exactly, Well, they did

94
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:00.480
have this, It's cool.

95
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.279
They did have this cool indoor pizza place that had

96
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.680
like a little miniature amusement park with a little mini

97
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.319
ferris wheel and everything. So that was a lot of fun.

98
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:12.360
Nice.

99
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:13.079
Yeah, that's cool.

198
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.159

00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.360
Anthony Beatles Andrews is on duty. So great to hear

201
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:07.480

202
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.200

203
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:17.080
of the UK. Alberto Garcia Martinez is from Irun Esplena, Irun.

204
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:17.919
I think it is.

205
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.480
I hope I'm saying that right, Alberto, forgive me if

206
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:25.320
I am mispronouncing anything. A Valdeo has got a double

208
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.639
see that. Moving back over to a part of the

209
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:39.960
continent I'm very fond of in Paris, France, Region nine.

210
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:46.320
The USS Versailles actually makes docking there and we have

211
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:52.360
our friend Valerie Pollier. Valerie is in Paris. It sounds

212
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.480
like arndment Reason nine looks like but I'm assuming USS

213
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.120
Versailles is a local club in France. Wol to hear

214
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.759
from you, Valerie. It's great to know that you're out

215
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.840
there and keep your country safe. That's all I'm you know,

216
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.440
I'm a big fan of anything to happen to it

217
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.559
big time, Okay. I love the French and everything about France.

218
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.159

219
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.440
to a chile enlightened corner of the universe to matts

220
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:27.519
dalberg In at peter Norburten in Sweden. Absolutely a big

221
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.519
fan of any of the Nordic countries. I would not

222
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.840
surprise me to find myself there someday at all. But

223
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:38.240
Sweden's a remarkable place. You are still in the midst

224
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.919
of winter, I believe over there. Motts so great to

225
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.960
hear from you and from all of our international Structrek fans.

It's always great to see that we have that collective

227
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.120
enthusiasm that unites us. I think we live in times

228
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.879

276
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:20.879

277
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.759
we do our cadet training and that's what our very

278
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:25.320
own child tells you.

279
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:25.799
Guys.

280
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.679
Some episodes that you can check out that really the

281
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:31.799
episodes we're going to talk about, ton or So take

282
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.919
it away, Charles.

283
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.919
Oh, thank you, Uncle Jim. Let's start off with kind

284
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.200
of the opener the the episode. But they're doing a

285
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:46.360
simulation very similar to a very one of our one

286
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.879
of my one of my favorite Star Trek movies, Star

287
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.960
Trek two, the Ratha Kan when we have the Kobayashi

288
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:59.960
Maru simulation, and then we get to see and Jim meant,

289
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:01.879
we got Sylvia Tilly.

290
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:04.160
You wanna know who.

291
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.079
Silva Tilly is, Well, you're gonna have to.

292
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.319
Go back to Discovery.

293
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:13.880
You got many season Discovery to talk about her. And

294
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:15.480
then we started getting into a little bit of a

295
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:20.279
theatrical view of this episode, and I picked a few

296
00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:28.079
star treks that had theatrical especially Shakespeare. Of course, we

297
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:34.240
know Toss Conscious of the King Season one, episode thirteen,

298
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:42.839
Tng is the Defector. Season three, episode ten, Data performs.

299
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.480
You see Tay on the holiday performing Henry the Fifth.

300
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.079
Of course, Star Trek six The Undiscovered Country has so

301
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:59.319
many shakespeare in references in there, and then bicard at

302
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:04.559
in Arcade Ego Part two, Season one, episode ten, The

303
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:06.759
card has several I has a good quote in there

304
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.519
from the Tempest. Of course, the production we're actually talking

305
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.920
about in this one is Thornton Wild's Pultzer Prize winning

306
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:21.880
classic Our Town nineteen thirty eight, the most recent twenty

307
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:29.839
twenty four, with the six six production on Broadway. Now

308
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:34.039
we got Voyager Blink of an Eye Season six, episode twelve,

309
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:39.359
Doctor mentions go Tan who potts an orbit one capsule

310
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:42.920
to investigate Voyager, which is stuck in a different different

311
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:47.359
time differential orbit, causing years to pass on his planet.

312
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.960
Only a few seconds passed for the crew.

313
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:52.480
Voyager.

314
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:58.400
Real Live Season three episode twenty two. This episode originally Okay,

315
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:04.079
this episode, the Doctor creates a wife name Charlne and

316
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:08.480
two children, Jeffrey and Bell to experience real life human

317
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:16.319
family life. TG is the Offspring Season three episode sixteen.

318
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.720
Why'd I talk about this one? Well, in this episode

319
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:26.640
we talk about Sam and having incomplete data pathways, where

320
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.119
we realize the fact here that data couldn't create the

321
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.759
pathways and get them to function fast enough to deal

322
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:37.599
with her emotions.

323
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.359
And then TG's inner light.

324
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.559
Because of course the doctor spends two weeks on the

325
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:52.599
planet but seventeen years in passing. So I think Paul

326
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.200
would love to do a recap of this episode.

327
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:01.799
Thank you, Charles, appreciate the setup, Brandon, all right, well, friends,

328
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.640
we kind of like just kind of hit the reset

329
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.839
button and do a little level setting to start things

330
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:09.519
off before we all go around and discuss what I

331
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:11.720
think is quite probably going to be looked back on

332
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.839
as potentially the best episode of the season. I think

333
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:22.079
it has a strong potential to fill that role. We're

334
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:25.480
talking about episode number eight, The Life of the Stars.

335
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.160
This episode focuses on the cadets that are still processing

336
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.400
trauma from the Miyazaki incident, and in kind of a

337
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:39.039
surprising way, they are told that they must go through

338
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:46.559
a manudatory drama class that is led by a visiting instructor. Surprisingly,

339
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:52.359
Sylvia Tilly portrayed by Mary Wiseman, was a recurring character

340
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.039
on Discovery. It's another Discovery fan, so she is there

341
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.240
to help the cadets process this recent trauma through a

342
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.480
little bit of an un conventional method to them theater

343
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.319
class and she has them study and rehearse Thornton Wilder's

344
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.599
classic play from nineteen thirty eight are Town Thornton Wilder

345
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:16.920
themes of mortality in that play and appreciating life to help.

346
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:21.319
What she says for the students is emotional recalibration. This

347
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.319
is a famous play. A lot of people end up

348
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:25.519
doing this play. If you're in theater arts in high school,

349
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.000
you probably are familiar with this. It focuses on basically

350
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.319
the meaning of life amidst the mundane and the importance

351
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.680
of community, life, love, death. The idea that small everyday

352
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.680
moments can help you reflect on meaning in your life. Tilly,

353
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:43.960
there's a lot of skepticism from the cadets at first, right,

354
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.599
and she argues that theater is state craft, and statecraft

355
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:50.960
is theater. And she argues that the ability to command,

356
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.519
to influence, and to lead requires the same skills as acting,

357
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:03.279
understanding performance, projecting confidence, and managing public perception. Take a

358
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.960
look go any original series fans, take a look at

359
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:08.920
Captain James T. Kirk. Right. The man is like a

360
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:13.279
one man theater company interactions. You know, it's not just

361
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:16.519
poker playing in the Corba might maneuver, Right, It's not

362
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:19.920
just the ability to bluff, but it's the ability to

363
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:25.680
act and persuade and anytime you're dealing with diplomatic scenarios.

364
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.960
A certain amount of performance is required in just about

365
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:34.839
all aspects of life. So she says to them in response,

366
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.599
eight out of ten caredens ask that question, what does

367
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.759
this have to do with being a captain? The other

368
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:44.880
two became captains themselves. So she sees a lot of

369
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:49.279
value in it because she understands that future leaders recognize

370
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.680
the value of things like self awareness and empathy and

371
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:57.599
understanding the nature of being human or humanoid or whatever

372
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:01.359
nature you have to be part of that is cultivated

373
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:04.960
through the art of performance. So while that's going on,

374
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:09.799
our good friend Terema Sadal returns from Beta's ed and

375
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:13.839
she's got a new neural inhibitor after her traumatic experience,

376
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:19.039
and she kind of surprisingly to her, has been transferred

377
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:23.240
from the war College to the Academy to recover something

378
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.319
that she really was looking forward to or wanting to do.

379
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.240
This was done kind of at the behest of those

380
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:32.039
who know better, right, thinking it would be safer for

381
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:34.599
her that she would be less likely to be exposed

382
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:37.599
to situations that could put her in armed way. She

383
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:40.160
isn't really necessarily like this. Also, this puts in a

384
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:43.839
lot more close proximity to Caleb mir So she is

385
00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:47.319
struggling quite a bit with what appears to be like

386
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:51.799
emotional numbness, and her reunion with Caleb is very strained,

387
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:57.000
and I think her journey back to being able to

388
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:02.200
cope and overcome her trauma is also thanks to the

389
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:05.680
role she takes in her production of the play. Now

390
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:07.839
all all this stuff is going on, it is revealed

391
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:13.440
that our photonic friend Sam Okay is found that her

392
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:18.200
programming has basically been destabilized. She's had some injuries there

393
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:23.200
she doesn't really have when it comes to light that

394
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:25.599
she never really had any kind of like a childhood

395
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:28.920
because of her programming. She was basically put together at

396
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:31.200
a certain age, and so she doesn't really have the

397
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:35.680
emotional underpinnings or framework to process the trauma that she

398
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:40.079
experienced on the MIA's accu mission. So and she needs

399
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:42.720
to be saved, right, She's in jeopardy of not you know,

400
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:47.519
she's had a rather substantial injury, right, and they're worried

401
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.759
that they may not be able to the doctor's sort

402
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:51.079
of I don't think I can help her. I don't

403
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:54.279
think I can fix her. So it's kind of dire

404
00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:58.200
for our you know, innocent friend there. So the solution

405
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:02.480
that the doctor and Chancellor Ake embark upon is to

406
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:06.119
take Sam to her home world of Cask. Right, and

407
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:12.279
time moves much faster on Cask than it does on Earth. Okay,

408
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:15.319
And a fun fact for those who follow the career

409
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:20.279
of a chewitol Ago for a wonderful actor, absolutely splendid actor.

410
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:25.000
He is the voice of the makers when you're hearing

411
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:29.279
the authority figure among the canons that's Jewetol who if

412
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:31.319
you may not recognize his name, but I guarantee you

413
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:34.039
recognize his face. You've seen him in tons and tons

414
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:36.240
of good stuff, and sci fi fans will recognize him

415
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.039
from the Serenity movie. And boy, there's a lot of

416
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:41.839
Serenity news coming. It sounds like very soon. We'll have

417
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:43.759
to talk about that later if we can. Very exciting.

418
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:48.519
So to save Sam, the Doctor has to overcome his

419
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.160
own past trauma. So everybody in this episode is getting

420
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.519
over something, is recovering from something in their past. Right,

421
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:01.640
he's referencing his lost holographic daughter that Charles intimated a

422
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:03.960
little bit a while ago in his cadet training from

423
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:09.079
an earlier episode of Voyager, right, and he agrees ultimately

424
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:13.759
to parent if you will a rebooted version of Sam.

425
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:15.920
It's going to be a little bit different version of her.

426
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:19.920
And in the spawn of roughly two weeks in Earth time,

427
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:25.400
they're on Cask, Sam experiences seventeen years of childhood and growth.

428
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:30.079
They're on the cast planet with the Doctor enabling hopefully

429
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.440
her to return to the Academy with a stable, rebuilt

430
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.559
identity that lets her cope and move forward. So she's

431
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:39.519
going to be slightly changed, which is going to be

432
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:41.799
interesting to see. Some of the themes going on in

433
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.880
this episode are obviously processing trauma right, everyone getting over

434
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.960
the Miyazaki situation. It's a character study and how to

435
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:53.720
cope with fear and loss right. Thornton Wilder's Our Town

436
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:57.720
is like a back drop for the importance of appreciating life,

437
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:02.160
and Sam tends to represent like the one side of

438
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:05.400
things right, life of the stars, while the Tarima represents

439
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:10.079
a more finite experience. The doctor has to confront his

440
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:14.200
old centuries old, really centuries old emotional distance and grief,

441
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:16.960
initially feeling he couldn't do it, but he has to

442
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.599
connect and be willing to assume the mantle of a

443
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:23.960
more active paternal role. It is really interesting because the

444
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.920
Cadets are initially so resistant to this idea that Tilly

445
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:32.799
brings forth, but the Cadets eventually find a kind of

446
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:37.640
catharsis in the active performance okay, and transitioning from avoiding

447
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.319
their grief entirely to being able to acknowledge it, which

448
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:44.279
is a huge coping strategy. The group beans to become

449
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:48.480
more cohesive and men as a collective together and they

450
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:52.319
will hopefully emerge as a tighter, more supportive unit amidst

451
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.960
all this emotional turbulence. And then the episode ends with

452
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:03.720
Chancella and Okay delivering and Wilder esque philosophical reflection on

453
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:07.000
the athene is Bridge, emphasizing that life could be heartbreaking,

454
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:10.359
it could be a gorgeous blip in the universe, and

455
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:13.160
that every moment must be lived. So I just think

456
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:16.759
this is a splendid episode. I'll come back later on

457
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:20.519
with my grade for it, but I think, and you know,

458
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.279
I just want to really give it up to Mary Wiseman.

459
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:28.000
I think as an actor, she just endures so much

460
00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:34.440
grief from so many buttriolic basement dwelling a holes, I

461
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.559
mean tremendously, and she's managed to preserve her dignity and

462
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.000
I think she's come back in this role in a stronger,

463
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.839
more focused way. I think that anybody who did not

464
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:47.680
care for the Philly character in the past to have

465
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:50.440
another look at what she dis with the character in

466
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:54.079
this performance. In this role, I think she really provides

467
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:55.640
a lot of value to these folks. I think this

468
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.240
is an extremely well written episode, right. I think it's

469
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:02.240
just very timeless classic trek. The fact that it does

470
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:05.359
have so many echoes of theater in it. I just

471
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:09.000
think it's outstanding. So and kudos to her is a performer,

472
00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:12.680
and for everybody who did some work on here. So

473
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.079
that's kind of just a recap in case. It's been

474
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:17.759
a couple of weeks, right, we haven't seen this in

475
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:19.480
a while because we tend to be a couple of

476
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:22.799
weeks behind with our reviews just because of guests and

477
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:26.559
time zones and things like that. So that's kind of

478
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:32.680
the the you know, the setup, right, that's the reflection.

479
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:35.279
But what I'm curious about, you know, you know what

480
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:38.680
I think I think after this, what did the fans think?

481
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:40.880
Because gosh, you know, we have all kinds of different

482
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:43.599
fans and all kinds of different opinions. So I'm going

483
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:46.079
to turn to my friend over here at the Helm

484
00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:50.359
Control Eric and ask him, Eric, are you brave enough

485
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:54.119
to ford the sea of fans? And let us know

486
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:55.720
what they said? Paul.

487
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:58.519
You know, every once in a while, the fans make

488
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:03.319
waiting across that sea extremely easy, and this is fortunately

489
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:05.039
one of those weeks. I think the fans are right

490
00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:08.400
there with the In fact, Jennifer Floyd said En made

491
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:12.680
me cry. Sam was gonna die Thalia was changing before

492
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:14.440
her eyes. Thalia.

493
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.200
Uh, I think she means tima tima.

494
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:19.119
Yeah, that's correct.

495
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:21.720
People have a hard time learning new names, it seems.

496
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:24.160
Yeah, that's okay. The care free fund was muted because

497
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:26.240
of the accident. They needed to move on until he

498
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.799
helped without bringing up that she is from another time

499
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:32.559
like Reno. Enjoyed seeing her and how she got the

500
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:35.920
cadets to get beyond their trauma without actually doing anything

501
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:37.960
except pick a play.

502
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:40.160
Hey, I think there was.

503
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:41.920
It was a little more sophisticated, but we get what

504
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:44.480
you're saying, Jennifer. Thank you so much for your review.

505
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:48.279
Eric Chung says a ten. It might be the best

506
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:51.359
of the season so far, but I had already said

507
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:56.799
that about about Vox in excelf So and series Acclamation Mill.

508
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:59.920
So it's possible one or both of the next two

509
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.079
episodes because they even topped this one. That's okay, Eric,

510
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:05.720
We're rating these as we go, so a ten is

511
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:08.680
totally warranted here. Lisa Baker Snyder gave it a ten

512
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:12.759
and I teared up a bit too. Tom Claudefelter said nine.

513
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.640
I went in skeptical on this particular episode and was

514
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:21.839
thoroughly impressed. Melissa Vutcinias gave it a ten with three

515
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:26.720
exclamation points. CJ gave it a seven. I wanted the

516
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:29.759
doctor to reminisce about outliving his friends on Voyageer and

517
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:34.240
regretting his immortality. I don't disagree, CJ. That would have

518
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.160
been a pretty cool aspect of this. But we'll talk

519
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.160
more about the doctor later. Brian Fernandez give it an

520
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:43.079
eight point five and a big review, says I loved

521
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:45.519
it overall, but I do not like the gaslighting of

522
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.440
Tarimo when she's calling Tilly out on the trauma therapy

523
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:52.799
theater class, that kind of what do you mean, what

524
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.000
are we doing here? We're just taking a theater class.

525
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.240
I have no alternaty mot motives of any kind when

526
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.240
it's obvious to everyone that she does is just condescending

527
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:05.599
and really annoyed me. But I teared up at the

528
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.519
stuff on Cask, and I appreciate the sensitive nature of

529
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.039
the episode, and I'm not just hating on it. I

530
00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:13.920
just do not like it when adults talk to people

531
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.319
in their twenties like they can understand them, and I'm

532
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:19.640
forty five, at least stand up in front of the

533
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.759
class and say yes. This theater class is to help you,

534
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.640
guys deal with your trauma. You are correct when directly

535
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:26.880
questioned about it.

536
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:27.720
Thanks.

537
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:31.319
Brian Ariel Gardner said that was a great episode nine

538
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:33.599
out of ten. Jeremy Klinger gave it a ten. I

539
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:36.039
watched it twice. I never watched an episode twice in

540
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:40.920
a row. Carlos Rafael Juarez Fernandez give it a twelve

541
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:44.559
out of ten. It was an instant Star Trek classic episode.

542
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:48.960
I love that Erica Halverson Mullen gave it a ten.

543
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:53.880
Tamis Waldman gave it a ten with a tilly and

544
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:59.759
a heart yeah, feeling that Tomas and Roger Barto gave

545
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:02.200
it a ten. I found this episode of a Star

546
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:05.359
Trek show to be the most philosophical, deep episode of

547
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:10.039
Star Trek. It delves into how our experiences with each

548
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:13.519
other form who we come to be. The anguish we

549
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:16.640
feel when we are not supported by others, the blindness

550
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:19.799
we suffer when we shut out others who accuse us

551
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:23.319
of shutting who who are accused of shutting us out

552
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:27.319
is depicted with brilliant science sci fi tropes. This is

553
00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:32.039
a healing Star Trek episode and a no joke non

554
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:36.440
Ai assisted totally. Seriously, our fans have scored this episode

555
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:40.319
on our Facebook page a nine point five, a near

556
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.240
perfect score for a Star Trek episode to tell you

557
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:43.759
the truth.

558
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.640
So there you have it, p and how about we

559
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:52.559
start off with the because he wasn't with us last week,

560
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:55.279
so let's dive right into it.

561
00:33:55.400 --> 00:34:01.880
Well, this was definitely one of those gut punch episodes,

562
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:05.240
as you had several things going on at once, with

563
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:10.320
Terma coming back and trying to she was trying to

564
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:14.599
figure out who she is because she has been you know,

565
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:22.760
altered with that new device to dampen her her betazoid abilities,

566
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:29.559
if you will, but also seeing Sam glitch and then

567
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:33.599
you know, being in peril and that I was going

568
00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:37.599
to say too that another episode was from Voyager where

569
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:41.559
the doctor's holo matrix is destabilizing and they had to

570
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:48.039
they had to fix him. And you know they had

571
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:51.800
because he had downloaded so much, so many different programs

572
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:56.480
and information. Uh, he had sort of grown beyond his programming.

573
00:34:56.599 --> 00:35:00.960
And initially, as if I recall, I can't remember which

574
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:05.199
episode it is, so I apologize, the idea was to

575
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:08.000
just reboot him back to the way he was in

576
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:12.239
the beginning, and it's like, absolutely not because you're going

577
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:16.480
to erase who he is. But they managed to get

578
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:21.519
the one program from what was it. I can't think

579
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:26.679
now where he was created. I'm trying to help me out.

580
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:29.760
Yes, from from uh.

581
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:34.159
Uh something something? Yeah, yeah, I know.

582
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:37.639
Anyway in the episode you're thinking of the episode, you're

583
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:38.159
thinking of his.

584
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:45.760
Revulsion, yeah, but also with the with the students, because

585
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:48.840
even though nobody says it, what they're suffering from his PTSD,

586
00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:53.719
which is I think anybody that watched that that was

587
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:56.960
a you know, a veteran or no, somebody in the military,

588
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:00.280
you know, saw the trauma for what it was. And

589
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:06.360
then I thought of DS nine with nog going through

590
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:11.840
his trauma from yeah, the Siege of five five eight,

591
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:17.719
but then you see him finding himself and recovering in

592
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:20.920
one of my favorite episodes, it's only a paper Moon.

593
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:29.000
So but when the doctor goes back, I was not

594
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:33.519
expecting him to reminisce to talk about, you know, to

595
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.639
remind us about his family because that episode with his

596
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:42.679
daughter Belle, who gets she gets mortally injured playing some

597
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:45.519
sort of game that she really was too young to play,

598
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:47.239
but they allowed her to play it. Which is like,

599
00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:51.480
you know, every parent goes through that, and then you know,

600
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:53.559
he could have fixed her, It could have programmed it

601
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:55.960
so that she lived, but he wanted to go through

602
00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:59.800
the entire thing and that was a heartbreaking episode. But

603
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:04.239
just his emotions, Oh my gosh, I was I was

604
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:08.920
getting choked up. I was not expecting that. So kudos

605
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:14.880
to Robert Picardo for delivering probably one of the best

606
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:21.800
performances that I've seen him do. And then when Sam

607
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:24.320
is growing up, when she's you know, baby to toddler

608
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:27.960
to young person, Oh my word, just just reach in

609
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:31.119
and rip my heart out, won't you. I was just

610
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:38.199
absolutely beautiful. And at the end when they finally because

611
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:43.639
they were reluctant to do our town and they realize that, yeah,

612
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:46.760
this is going to help us heal. But there was

613
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:51.880
something else, Like I said, I misplaced my notes unfortunately.

614
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:55.320
But the whole part what really got me was the

615
00:37:55.360 --> 00:38:00.000
part about I think it was Caleb that was talking

616
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:05.159
talking about when you're becoming somebody else but you don't

617
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:08.159
want to, and Tarima go through this where you don't

618
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:10.760
really want to leave your old self behind, but you

619
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:13.400
kind of have to. You don't have a choice. Sometimes

620
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:15.519
it's a good thing and sometimes it's a bad thing,

621
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:20.000
and you have to find your way and you know,

622
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.360
find this new way of being. So that's something at

623
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:28.800
Tarma and now Sam are having to learn about, and

624
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.920
I hopefully in the next you know, the last two

625
00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:36.000
episodes will see them be able to figure out who

626
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:39.920
they are now and move forward. But yeah, that was

627
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:44.840
a that was definitely a solid ten. That was In fact,

628
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:46.440
I think I have to watch it. I watched it

629
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:48.639
three times. That's going to be like one of the

630
00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:52.239
fans said, that's one of those Star Trek classic episodes.

631
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.400
I totally agree, So I'm going to have to watch

632
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:58.679
that more than, you know, a couple more times and

633
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:02.280
have the tissues handing you this time. So yeah, solid

634
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:02.840
ten for me.

635
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:08.559
Well you want to jump in here next?

636
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:09.679
Uh?

637
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:14.840
Yeah, So how many of you have seen Oops? Uh,

638
00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:17.639
it wasn't me. I forgot to watch the episode, so

639
00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:23.800
I have a good excoose of what happened. But yeah,

640
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:27.360
I totally forgot to even put this episode on for

641
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.400
this week's show. So I'm like, oh man, me and

642
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:33.199
everything guys talking about like, sounds like a really good episode,

643
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:37.480
so I'm hoping to watch it tonight, but I'm gonna

644
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:40.480
have to give my storage to be to be announced

645
00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:43.440
later on in the next week episode.

646
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:47.519
All right, so then we'll we'll move on to Childs.

647
00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:50.119
Then did you watch it?

648
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:51.440
Oh?

649
00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:54.400
Yes, Oh, I've watched it twice, and that's part of

650
00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:58.480
my notes in my discussion. I have to go a

651
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.679
little go through a little bit of intro and a

652
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:04.039
little bit to this episode. I have to admit I'm

653
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:07.039
a theater geek. I did not perform on stage. I

654
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:12.079
worked backstage. I love live theater. I had I ended up.

655
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:15.320
I had to watch this episode twice. I grabbed my notes,

656
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:21.760
but between the episodes, I watched the episode gotta grasp

657
00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:26.679
on it, and then I went looking for our Town,

658
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:32.400
the current version. There is recording of the current version,

659
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:33.000
but it's not.

660
00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:34.159
Available to the public.

661
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:39.079
But I found the last version done a few years

662
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:41.960
ago with Paul Newman as the stage manager.

663
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:44.800
So I picked up and watched that.

664
00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:51.159
Then I rewatched the episode and it's like now, now

665
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:55.159
the movie makes Now, the episode makes complete sense. I

666
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:57.840
can understand what they were doing with it, why what

667
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:01.079
they were doing, and why one of the things that

668
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:05.400
they're mentioned was that Oh Tilly made them do our Town. No,

669
00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:07.800
it wasn't Tilly that made them do it our Town.

670
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:13.840
Tilly asked her input. Sam fell in love with our

671
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:18.119
Town and wanted to do it, but then couldn't be there.

672
00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:19.599
To play in the play.

673
00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:26.199
But I think she saw in that play how her

674
00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:31.679
friends were getting at PTSD and that they need to

675
00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:39.039
get a look at life. Life is very finite. Though

676
00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:43.400
you may feel like things things have a long stretch,

677
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:46.800
but they do have a finite life. One of the

678
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:50.880
things in the theatrical part of it, things kind of

679
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:57.880
went okay, got interesting, then we got to Cask and

680
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:01.239
Eric probably wanted to jump into this one himself, but

681
00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:07.079
for me, one of the effective filmings of Cask was

682
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:11.840
everybody was in black and white except the maker. The

683
00:42:11.880 --> 00:42:16.480
maker was in blue, but everybody in Cask was in

684
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:17.320
black and white.

685
00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:19.440
And what a.

686
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:26.079
What a way to dramatize it. You put in the

687
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:28.719
black and white and you get that feeling of you

688
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:35.119
get that unique focus on it. The lines are just

689
00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:38.000
a little more powerful, The lines are a little more strong.

690
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:42.559
They've got them, you know, Charles.

691
00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:46.960
The what I thought of was that movie Sin City,

692
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:49.320
which was all in black and white except for everything

693
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:53.679
that was red. I don't know if you ever saw

694
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:54.880
that anyway.

695
00:42:56.639 --> 00:43:00.239
But yes, but what what what it was.

696
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:01.480
Especially to.

697
00:43:03.239 --> 00:43:09.039
Give the really catch the emotion of the doctor being

698
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:13.000
very cold, and we find out the truth. We find

699
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:17.079
out why the doctor is acting so cold, why you

700
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:20.719
wants to separate himself from her. Going all the way

701
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:24.719
back to the first episode, we now understand what's going

702
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:29.239
on with him because he's scared about trying to have

703
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:30.199
another family.

704
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:35.519
We get into it, and I love the fact that

705
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:38.199
the doctor.

706
00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:49.280
Spent spends seventeen years in two weeks. What an emotional drain.

707
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:55.719
But sit there and spends two weeks and live seventeen years.

708
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:59.920
Look at what a car did a car?

709
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:04.360
I forgot how many years in her light he spent,

710
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:08.719
but he spent decades, all in and out, all in,

711
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:12.519
I think it was forty five minutes. But to sit

712
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:16.119
there and go through that much time spent in such

713
00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:17.199
a short time.

714
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:20.039
Really was interesting.

715
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:23.960
I love and I'm sure people will discuss this how

716
00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:27.800
we got to the end of the episode, and how

717
00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:32.079
the cadets were able to analyze and see what our

718
00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:37.519
town really meant. And I think Eric will love I'll

719
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:41.400
leave this one. I'll leave the exit to him. But

720
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:48.679
that was powerful, that exit, that final scene with Akie,

721
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:55.039
who was just powerful to take those lines and to

722
00:44:55.199 --> 00:45:00.559
using the way she did. It's like, oh yeah, yeah,

723
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:02.800
I do want to eventually go back and look at

724
00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:08.760
this episode again, probably after season recap. But this is

725
00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:14.920
definitely two of my two of my top episodes this season.

726
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:19.679
As I've only given one episode a ten, this to

727
00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:23.880
be the second one that gets a ten, almost an eleven,

728
00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:26.400
almost in eleven on this one.

729
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:35.639
Awesome, awesome, So I'll jump in here. So Jaden eating

730
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:39.480
the quadrat testicles of his father was the highlight. I

731
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:44.000
mean when we were talking about the you know, I

732
00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:51.280
like that he was really there and I just loved it.

733
00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:54.440
I think Jayden gets overlooked in this episode, but.

734
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:55.920
Jim, he was.

735
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:59.880
That scene with that scene with him and the bow

736
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:03.039
laying and everything afterward was ridiculously adorable.

737
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:04.800
I loved it.

738
00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:06.960
I just loved it. So I had to throw that

739
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:10.239
in it. Unlike your guys come out into place. I

740
00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:12.840
can't comment on any of that other stuff. All I

741
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:14.400
can talk about is the anisode.

742
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:22.400
So I thought Sam died, you know, after we lost

743
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:26.920
you know, Vulcan dude in the last episode, and the instructor.

744
00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:29.480
I thought for sure. I'm like, oh, no, they just

745
00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:32.679
killed her. And I was like, oh, then she came

746
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:35.719
in a different version of her, but I actually thought

747
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:36.679
that they killed her.

748
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:41.159
I was off guard with that one. But this, this

749
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:46.239
episode was such an emotional gut punch after what happened

750
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:49.960
two episodes ago, and to watch these young cadets to

751
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:52.199
deal with with this, which.

752
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:55.880
Is something we never get to see on Star Trek.

753
00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:58.840
You know, we never really get to see the effects

754
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:02.039
of all these atrocity. Is that that happened, you know,

755
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:06.639
to our favorite you know, captains and lieutenants and whatnot

756
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:09.480
on Star Trek. You know, the next episode comes along

757
00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:12.440
and they're just fine and they move on with their day,

758
00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:16.840
and we never actually get to see what happens in between.

759
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:19.840
And this episode gives us a chance to see that

760
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:21.920
and to watch them deal with it.

761
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:26.239
And it was wow. Mary Wise and Tilly was was

762
00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:27.400
perfect for this job.

763
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:31.199
And she came in and did with Oh and her

764
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:35.480
reunion with taking the taro with jet Reno, you know

765
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:37.440
when she says, oh, my molar.

766
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:39.519
Right here was starting to eight you were.

767
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:42.760
I love it seeing them back together again. It was

768
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:46.480
it was a great moment. I can't think of a

769
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:49.840
bad thing to say about this episode. I absolutely loved

770
00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:55.119
it from beginning to end, specially Herema. She was the

771
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:59.400
hardest egg to crack and uh. At one point Tilly

772
00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:02.679
was like, know, you know, palk your crap and get out.

773
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:05.639
You know you're not you know, you're really close to

774
00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:09.079
the edge here, and Karama was the one that was

775
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:12.119
resisting it the most. And at the end she's the

776
00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:14.719
one that I think got the most out of it.

777
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:16.559
At the end when she goes.

778
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:20.320
To talk to Utility, just wow.

779
00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:26.960
Yeah, wow. This episode was just so powerful, so many

780
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:31.079
emotional moments, so many character driven moments.

781
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:34.800
It was well written when acted, the pacing I thought

782
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:39.440
was really good. Everything about it was top match. So

783
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:42.360
I'm right there with Charles. I've got to give this

784
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:48.440
one time. I mean, just on the quad, I got

785
00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:51.599
to give it a time. I can't say enough for

786
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:55.480
good about this episode, So I guess I'll leave it to.

787
00:48:55.519 --> 00:49:03.760
Eric, all right, Thanks Jim. Yeah, So, every once in

788
00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:07.639
a while an episode of Star Trek comes along that

789
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:13.159
I feel teaches me a real solid lesson, Like I

790
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:16.039
think the best Star Trek. We've always talked about how

791
00:49:16.039 --> 00:49:20.639
it becomes a morality play, right, and you end an

792
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:25.000
episode as the viewer. You end an episode a better

793
00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:27.880
person than you started it because a new concept is

794
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:32.960
brought up to you or something is brought into your

795
00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:36.360
attention that you previously weren't considering. And I kind of

796
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:40.800
feel like this episode is it Like it was stunning

797
00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:48.119
in how thoroughly concocted and written and acted and executed.

798
00:49:48.280 --> 00:49:53.079
It was for me right from the very first opening

799
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:59.239
monologue that the doctor gives. I can't remember another time

800
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:02.360
in a movie or a television series where I have

801
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:07.360
actually believed that the character was almost a thousand years old.

802
00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:11.239
And to me, that opening monologue that he gives it

803
00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:17.599
has such like just weight to it, and like the

804
00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:22.079
weight of time and the weight of loneliness, and you know,

805
00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:25.199
what is it like to be the only one of

806
00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:28.000
your kind for all this time and like all this

807
00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:30.280
kind of stuff. You feel that right from the Doctor's

808
00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:33.440
opening monologue. And then of course we dive into all

809
00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:39.800
the big concepts that Paul was talking about here. You know,

810
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:45.519
you've got the trauma recovery part of it and emotional

811
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:49.079
connection part of it. And to me, one of the

812
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:52.159
lessons that I was taught that I sort of knew,

813
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:54.440
but I think it's being taught to the masses, right

814
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:56.480
to the young people who are watching shows like this

815
00:50:56.599 --> 00:51:00.679
for the first time. The lesson relative to trauma and

816
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:05.880
healing here is that only by engaging with one another,

817
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:10.960
you know, doing like shared trauma work in addition to

818
00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:15.559
our individual trauma work, can we actually really begin to heal.

819
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:19.480
And I that is such a big lesson right now.

820
00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:21.480
I feel like there are so many people in so

821
00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:23.840
many parts of the world right now who are suffering

822
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:28.280
from a real trauma response based on what their situation is,

823
00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:32.400
you know, whether it's war or famine, or crappy leaders

824
00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:34.719
or collapse of side you know. I mean, there's like

825
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.679
all this stuff going on in the world, and only

826
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:41.280
by banding together and kind of collectively going through this

827
00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:45.360
and understanding one another's trauma and taking collective action as

828
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:48.079
a result, can we get through that. So is there

829
00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:51.719
a bare lesson to be learned? I don't know. So

830
00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:56.360
trauma and healing you've got, you know, discussions of like

831
00:51:56.480 --> 00:52:01.320
identity and self awareness. I mean, Sam spends a good

832
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:05.400
portion of this episode kind of going through these existential

833
00:52:05.519 --> 00:52:10.960
realization moments, which I just think are fantastic. You know

834
00:52:11.119 --> 00:52:14.159
the discussion that she has about the pillow right where

835
00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:16.719
she's like, you know, it's just like this pillow wouldn't

836
00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:18.800
even exist if somebody hadn't come up with it in

837
00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:22.400
their mind. And for anybody who loves to sit around

838
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:26.519
a campfire and just talk about like existential stuff deep

839
00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:30.119
deep deep into the night, like I do, I get

840
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:33.039
where she's coming from. Man is like sometimes that that

841
00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:37.039
stuff just feels really profound, right, And it was beautiful

842
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:44.199
to see her like explore that throughout the entire episode.

843
00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:49.679
So you juxtapose that against the doctor's journey, right, you

844
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:53.880
learn about his daughter that he developed, that he then

845
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:58.159
loses that then his heart kind of turns to stone

846
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:00.840
because of that loss, and he won't at anybody else

847
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:03.519
in and he spends how many hundreds of years on

848
00:53:03.559 --> 00:53:06.559
an island by himself, an emotional island by himself, And

849
00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:11.280
it's only through him opening up and being willing to

850
00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:15.239
like be vulnerable through his relationship with Sam, that he's

851
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:20.440
actually able to heal himself. So it's it's exploring identity

852
00:53:20.519 --> 00:53:28.239
for Sam. It's you know, the weight of infinity, infinite existence,

853
00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:31.119
so to speak. The Highlander has that movie a little

854
00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:33.079
bit right where they start kind of talking a little

855
00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:35.239
bit about like what it's like to really live for

856
00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:38.800
a thousand years. So anyway, I love that part. The

857
00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:43.639
third big theme being art and the exploration of using

858
00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:47.199
art as a healing tool. I have several friends who

859
00:53:47.239 --> 00:53:50.960
are you know, music therapists, art therapists, that kind of stuff,

860
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:54.480
and they really bring real healing to people through using art.

861
00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:57.880
And using Our Town as the vehicle for that was

862
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:01.280
absolutely brilliant because Our Time explores all these things that

863
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:04.599
Paul was talking about earlier, like the fragility of life,

864
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:08.440
the inevitability of change, the pain of loss, you know,

865
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:11.199
all this kind of stuff, and they they weave that

866
00:54:11.360 --> 00:54:15.519
into this story, I think, in a really really seamless way.

867
00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:21.920
And yeah, so anyway, very special there. So the fourth

868
00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:26.000
theme that I kind of saw was was the idea

869
00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:30.679
of kind of like renewal, right, rebooting, rebirth. So Sam

870
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:33.000
dies and I swear to god, Jim, I was with you, dude.

871
00:54:33.039 --> 00:54:35.400
I thought they had completely killed her off and I

872
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:37.320
was like, holy shit, I can't believe they just did

873
00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:40.960
this with my favorite actress. And then they do the

874
00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:46.480
childhood kind of bring back you know, birth scenes, so

875
00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:51.320
to speak, and you know that scene doesn't even happen

876
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:55.719
until like fifty six minutes into this episode that's just

877
00:54:55.840 --> 00:54:58.679
over an hour long, So it's really just the last

878
00:54:58.719 --> 00:55:01.360
like five minutes of this episode where you get this

879
00:55:01.519 --> 00:55:05.800
like childhood of Sam kind of slammed through and it's

880
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:09.639
it's her and her like development. But it's really about

881
00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:13.159
the doctor also, right, and his healing journey of finally

882
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:17.400
being a parent, finally be again and not having to

883
00:55:17.480 --> 00:55:20.440
kind of like heal from the initial parenting loss that

884
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:25.000
he that he sustained, and then just community and connection

885
00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:31.000
and found family. I this episode was almost perfect. The

886
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:33.360
in fact, maybe it was perfect. I don't know, I

887
00:55:33.360 --> 00:55:36.679
can't think of anything wrong with it, like you, Jim,

888
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:39.719
And the thing that I really really really am digging

889
00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:41.840
about Starfleet Academy. I used to say that it was

890
00:55:41.880 --> 00:55:44.880
the the lightness and kind of the you know, fun

891
00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:47.159
nature of the show. But we've seen some dark times here,

892
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:52.679
so I don't think it's that. Whoa, Okay, I think

893
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:57.719
what it really is is it's a refocusing of the

894
00:55:57.840 --> 00:56:05.039
show away from like technical prowess, Like I feel like

895
00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:07.760
the like Star Trek from the nineties and two thousands

896
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:10.039
has all of this stuff where it's like, dude, we

897
00:56:10.079 --> 00:56:11.800
have a weird anomaly. Dude, I have to come up

898
00:56:11.840 --> 00:56:15.840
with a really cool technical fix for this, and then boom,

899
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:17.480
we're out of the episode. And that's how it works.

900
00:56:18.039 --> 00:56:20.320
I think what we're seeing here in Starfleet Academy is

901
00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:23.920
this exploration of the idea that, Okay, there are plenty

902
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:28.360
of people out there who are technologically superior to us.

903
00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:33.960
The success of Starfleet really doesn't rest in that realm.

904
00:56:33.960 --> 00:56:36.400
It really rests on our ability to kind of like

905
00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:39.719
connect as human beings or as Starfleet. You know, I

906
00:56:39.719 --> 00:56:42.840
shouldn't say just human beings, but like, you know, people,

907
00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:47.599
the larger people, multi racial people of Starfleet. It's our

908
00:56:47.639 --> 00:56:51.960
ability to connect with one another and share not only

909
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:55.800
our knowledge and things, but our emotional selves. That is

910
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:57.679
really going to be the thing that allows us to

911
00:56:57.719 --> 00:57:01.719
succeed in this post burn world that we live in.

912
00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:07.239
So yeah, absolutely, Stellar episode is a ten plus from me.

913
00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:09.599
I could talk about it for another thirty minutes, but

914
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:10.719
I need to stop.

915
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:19.000
Take it away.

916
00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:23.599
Yeah, I don't want to go to ahead of botting

917
00:57:23.719 --> 00:57:26.599
order here, but I'm after seeing the subsequent episode that

918
00:57:26.679 --> 00:57:29.559
we have to get to review. Right, I'm asking myself

919
00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:32.119
some questions, Right, how is this iteration of Sam going

920
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:32.679
to be different?

921
00:57:33.840 --> 00:57:33.960
Right?

922
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:35.719
Because one of the things I love about the same

923
00:57:36.199 --> 00:57:39.280
and why she's so endearing in these, you know, first

924
00:57:39.320 --> 00:57:43.480
front end episodes of the season, is she's such a innocent, right,

925
00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:45.880
and she's does everything. Oh my god, She's just like

926
00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:50.159
so enthusiastic and amazed and just in the moment. She's

927
00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:54.920
so in the moment and just delighted by the littlest things, right,

928
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:57.079
And I hope that they don't entirely lose that for

929
00:57:57.239 --> 00:57:59.960
her character, so it would be very interesting to see.

930
00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:02.800
But I think she is a great performance. And just again,

931
00:58:03.039 --> 00:58:06.039
I really want to commend the writing of this particular episode.

932
00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:12.440
I believe this episode was co written by the series creator.

933
00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:15.079
I'm trying to remember her name. It's Guy something other.

934
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:17.519
Apologize for not being able to pull that out of

935
00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:22.840
my exhaust pipe. But I'm still learning who everybody is

936
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:23.599
on this show.

937
00:58:24.880 --> 00:58:32.760
But gavol Gaviolo, Yeah, Guya Violo has created a show

938
00:58:32.920 --> 00:58:36.639
and I think also at least was a co writer,

939
00:58:36.719 --> 00:58:39.039
I think probably principal writer in this episode.

940
00:58:39.079 --> 00:58:42.320
But it's just superbly done. You know, everyone's talking about

941
00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:44.639
it feel like your classic track. It's because the themes

942
00:58:44.639 --> 00:58:48.079
are so timeless, right, That's why people are still putting

943
00:58:48.079 --> 00:58:52.760
on our clown. You know, decades later, you know, ninety

944
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:55.360
years later, practically, you know, we're still doing that play.

945
00:58:55.400 --> 00:59:01.360
It's because the human condition is still right, the human

946
00:59:01.559 --> 00:59:06.360
condition is just beginning. So I'm pretty exciting. Obviously, I

947
00:59:06.400 --> 00:59:08.119
would say a ten for me. I mean, I think

948
00:59:08.119 --> 00:59:10.159
this is their best some of their best work. You

949
00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:14.679
see all of the actors come together and work as

950
00:59:14.679 --> 00:59:18.480
a whole, and we're moving on. We won't be able

951
00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:20.000
to talking about it for a while, but good dolly,

952
00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:23.400
I mean, tonight is like the first season finale, I am,

953
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:27.079
I have had any sense of what to expect yet,

954
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:30.840
except there will be a lot of threads coming together

955
00:59:31.280 --> 00:59:34.360
from that penultimate episode last week. So super excited. We

956
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:37.079
still have a lot to talk about in the weeks

957
00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:40.239
to come here. So but yeah, great work everybody on

958
00:59:40.639 --> 00:59:45.119
Starfleet Academy. This is how science ficts to be done.

959
00:59:47.639 --> 00:59:48.599
And the score.

960
00:59:49.920 --> 00:59:54.519
I think I said a ten, all right, I think

961
00:59:54.519 --> 00:59:56.519
I said that at the front end of ten for me, obviously,

962
00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:57.559
I believe was what I.

963
00:59:57.519 --> 01:00:02.679
Said, But I love the characters. I love watching them

964
01:00:02.719 --> 01:00:07.360
bond and watching them become closer, watching them understand each other,

965
01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:11.440
relate to each other. It's it's just a wonderful episode

966
01:00:11.719 --> 01:00:15.320
all the way around, just totally awesome.

967
01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:17.239
Yeah, and I think it's important to you know, we

968
01:00:17.320 --> 01:00:20.079
talk about like, uh, you know, over it's coming together,

969
01:00:20.159 --> 01:00:22.639
and Eric talked about it being a different, uh you

970
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:25.239
know kind of vibe, you know, where it's less technological

971
01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:29.360
and uh you know, more humanistic if you will, on

972
01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:31.119
the show. And I think a lot of that, though,

973
01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:35.400
was by design, because yeah, those those atmospheres occur.

974
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:39.880
Yeah, and oh sorry, Paul, didn't mean to interrupt.

975
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:42.880
Sorry, now, I was just I can, I can. It's

976
01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:43.559
not important.

977
01:00:44.239 --> 01:00:47.840
No, No, I was agreeing with you absolutely. And you know,

978
01:00:47.840 --> 01:00:50.320
one of the things that we didn't talk about in

979
01:00:50.360 --> 01:00:54.280
that realm, for example, is you know, we see Ake,

980
01:00:55.559 --> 01:00:58.960
as far as I'm concerned, we see Ake intentionally drinking

981
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:03.480
more than I think in this episode. And so there's

982
01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:07.199
a there's a willingness for this show to do things

983
01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:11.719
like show people's flaws right out in the open and

984
01:01:11.840 --> 01:01:15.039
still show that they can be you know, successful people,

985
01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:18.840
or like give good counselor or whatever. But to me,

986
01:01:18.960 --> 01:01:21.760
there were a couple of shots here where they absolutely

987
01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:24.719
we were showing that, and it wasn't just like casual.

988
01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:28.360
It was more like, ugh, I'm so bluff, I have

989
01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:30.880
to make a drink, you know, which is yeah, which

990
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:31.760
is that dangerous road?

991
01:01:31.840 --> 01:01:32.039
Right?

992
01:01:32.119 --> 01:01:34.639
So yeah, it can be, it can be, it can

993
01:01:34.679 --> 01:01:37.400
also But you know, I also would think that one

994
01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:39.599
of the reasons everyone's able to heal and come together

995
01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:43.360
and find these human solutions is, you know, this stuff

996
01:01:44.039 --> 01:01:47.519
only occurs at the behest of good leadership, right, And

997
01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:50.199
I think the reason that the environment allows everyone to

998
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:53.280
come to these kinds of things is because of the

999
01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:57.519
tone that this character sets as a as a commanding officer, Right,

1000
01:01:57.719 --> 01:01:59.960
she is you know, everyone's oh, she flopped in her

1001
01:02:00.159 --> 01:02:03.480
chair and she's happy, and they have an issue with that,

1002
01:02:03.880 --> 01:02:06.800
But that's all about creating a vibe, right where you're

1003
01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:09.360
more accepting and you're more less uptight. You know, she

1004
01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:12.079
gets the job done and if you screw up, you're

1005
01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:14.920
getting a lot of manual labor assigned you, right. But

1006
01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:19.559
more importantly, she's very accepting of everybody, right, And and

1007
01:02:19.719 --> 01:02:24.599
if somebody is in jeopardy of not surviving, she's the

1008
01:02:24.639 --> 01:02:26.679
first one in a shuttlecraft to go to their home

1009
01:02:26.719 --> 01:02:27.760
planet and try to save them.

1010
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:28.559
Right.

1011
01:02:28.679 --> 01:02:32.400
So she's you know, she's not just flopping around acting

1012
01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:34.480
like you know, a space hippy, as somebody who accused

1013
01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:37.159
her of. She's a great commanding officer and she's a human,

1014
01:02:37.840 --> 01:02:42.119
very humanistic, you know, leader. And I think that's one

1015
01:02:42.159 --> 01:02:44.119
of the reasons that all of these cadets feel that

1016
01:02:44.159 --> 01:02:46.719
they're able to be themselves. It's because they have a

1017
01:02:46.800 --> 01:02:47.960
leader who lets them.

1018
01:02:48.519 --> 01:02:53.639
Yep. Yeah, absolutely, I.

1019
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:56.039
Want to re jump in. I want to re jump

1020
01:02:56.119 --> 01:02:57.239
in a couple of things.

1021
01:02:58.480 --> 01:03:03.880
I know people probably had of Terima, but look at

1022
01:03:03.920 --> 01:03:06.480
how well she played a character that was under so

1023
01:03:06.559 --> 01:03:11.559
much trauma. Yeah, she was a stiff character, but that

1024
01:03:11.800 --> 01:03:17.920
was the that's all the stress she's gone under. That's

1025
01:03:18.039 --> 01:03:22.599
how some people would react to see that, to see

1026
01:03:22.599 --> 01:03:27.840
that stiffness and all this pushback from her and suddenly

1027
01:03:27.880 --> 01:03:34.199
realize what's going on and how it does affect her,

1028
01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:39.199
and that she does have a finite life and she

1029
01:03:39.280 --> 01:03:43.000
needs to really give that chance of letting go and

1030
01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:47.440
living her life. And the one point I was passing

1031
01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:50.559
down to Eric that he didn't take was the last

1032
01:03:50.599 --> 01:03:55.519
scene we have a key on the bridge, but as

1033
01:03:55.559 --> 01:04:00.400
a place that is minimal where we start with the

1034
01:04:00.559 --> 01:04:05.400
stage manager, we end with a stage manager, and she

1035
01:04:05.639 --> 01:04:09.760
ends with one spotlight on her and the scene goes black,

1036
01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:16.400
and it's like that is such a theatrical moment that

1037
01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:20.480
I just end the episode. It's like, yeah, okay, let

1038
01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:24.039
more tears flow because I got emotional my second viewing.

1039
01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:26.960
It really hit me hard.

1040
01:04:26.840 --> 01:04:30.480
By what they were going through and what it made

1041
01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:31.719
a good episode.

1042
01:04:33.199 --> 01:04:36.519
As for gym thing in the scores, g.

1043
01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:40.079
Jim, I think my Mad Mathmatics is rather easy right now,

1044
01:04:40.400 --> 01:04:44.079
since I'm not sure what David's going with. All I

1045
01:04:44.159 --> 01:04:49.079
see in this page are tens, which means okay to

1046
01:04:49.280 --> 01:04:53.719
the host. Total right now is ten. This is the

1047
01:04:53.840 --> 01:04:54.800
highest of the season.

1048
01:04:58.400 --> 01:04:59.880
There's still a room for David to give it one

1049
01:04:59.880 --> 01:05:00.400
of and a half.

1050
01:05:01.360 --> 01:05:08.760
Yeah, it will be like I don't know, these teenagers

1051
01:05:09.079 --> 01:05:16.599
and stuff lights and whatever, emotional I don't know.

1052
01:05:18.039 --> 01:05:21.639
I don't know. It's like this theater and a streaming

1053
01:05:21.719 --> 01:05:23.280
movie theaters like.

1054
01:05:25.480 --> 01:05:27.159
No, I'd rather listen to Queen.

1055
01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:39.760
As we say in the whole houses of Parliament, David,

1056
01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:45.960
We're just.

1057
01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:49.199
They would say that I've been there, they.

1058
01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:55.119
Would is he still there? Did he? David's still there?

1059
01:05:57.239 --> 01:05:57.599
Okay?

1060
01:05:59.360 --> 01:05:59.760
All right?

1061
01:06:01.800 --> 01:06:07.679
Oh so Matt claps up Review Free Academy and guess

1062
01:06:07.679 --> 01:06:11.119
what time it is? Yes, that's right, it's time for

1063
01:06:11.800 --> 01:06:22.360
sci five birthdays.

1064
01:06:31.719 --> 01:06:36.480
That was not a clon song. No, people don't like

1065
01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:37.400
it anyways.

1066
01:06:37.760 --> 01:06:39.280
All right, guess this is the part of the show

1067
01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:42.199
where you can find out what sci fi actor you

1068
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:44.599
share a birthday with if your birthday happens to be

1069
01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:45.199
this week.

1070
01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:48.280
And we always still our sci fi birthdays.

1071
01:06:48.360 --> 01:06:51.159
I remember those members of the sci Fi Filmis, sadly

1072
01:06:51.199 --> 01:06:55.119
enough are no longer with us for that, returned to Eric.

1073
01:06:56.280 --> 01:06:56.719
Yeah, Jim.

1074
01:06:56.760 --> 01:07:00.760
This week we start our remembrances with actor Davis Roberts.

1075
01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:04.159
Davis Roberts from Mobile, Alabama was an actor who played

1076
01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:08.840
doctor Ozaba in the TOS third season episode The m Path.

1077
01:07:09.559 --> 01:07:13.360
Throughout his long career, Roberts appeared in over thirty feature films,

1078
01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:16.159
including many that you have heard of. The one that

1079
01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:20.800
really tweaked my interest was Westworld from nineteen seventy three.

1080
01:07:21.159 --> 01:07:24.119
He also appeared in plenty of television series of the time,

1081
01:07:24.280 --> 01:07:27.480
like I Dream of Genie and Mission Impossible and Gun

1082
01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:31.360
Smoke and all that sort of stuff. So, Davis Roberts,

1083
01:07:31.719 --> 01:07:33.840
thank you so much for your contributions to Star Trek.

1084
01:07:33.880 --> 01:07:37.239
We lost you back in nineteen ninety three. Happy birthday.

1085
01:07:38.079 --> 01:07:45.239
Happy birthday to Yeah he was the night. Oh oh, well,

1086
01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:47.639
there you go. I I missed that. I haven't seen

1087
01:07:47.679 --> 01:07:49.480
that one yet, but I need to put it.

1088
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:52.239
On the list. Thanks all right.

1089
01:07:52.280 --> 01:07:55.840
Happy birthday to Mickey Morton, the actor who appeared in

1090
01:07:55.920 --> 01:08:00.639
Star Trek the original series, playing Drill Thrall clue ooh yeah,

1091
01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:02.519
you know that guy with the teeth and the hair

1092
01:08:02.599 --> 01:08:07.000
and everything in the second season episode The Gamesters of Treskellion.

1093
01:08:07.880 --> 01:08:11.880
Other television credits of his include appearances on All the

1094
01:08:11.920 --> 01:08:14.719
Things that You've Heard of. The one that piqued my

1095
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:17.960
interest was that he was on Fantasy Island with Ricardo Montemont.

1096
01:08:18.479 --> 01:08:22.520
He was also on Alice with Vic Tabeck, and I

1097
01:08:22.640 --> 01:08:24.399
was like, he was in an episode of Alice and

1098
01:08:24.520 --> 01:08:27.079
I need to go back and find this who in

1099
01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:31.840
nineteen Yeah. In nineteen seventy eight, Mickey Morton appeared in

1100
01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:36.720
the infamous Star Wars Holiday special as a bookie named Mala,

1101
01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:40.359
who of course was Chewy's wife. He also co starred

1102
01:08:40.520 --> 01:08:44.520
with fellow TS guest stars Frank Gorshen and William Shallard

1103
01:08:44.640 --> 01:08:48.840
in the nineteen seventy nine TV special Legends of the Superheroes,

1104
01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:52.439
and with LeVar Burton and Kurtwog Smith in the nineteen

1105
01:08:52.479 --> 01:08:55.800
eighty five TV movie The Midnight Hour. So this guy's

1106
01:08:55.840 --> 01:08:58.920
been around the way, despite the kind of weird role

1107
01:08:59.000 --> 01:09:04.119
that play are. So happy birthday to Mickey Morton. Happy

1108
01:09:04.119 --> 01:09:06.960
birthday as well to Patty Edwards, the actress who played

1109
01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:10.199
the role of Anya in the Next Generation second season

1110
01:09:10.720 --> 01:09:14.319
episode The dou Fime. She began her acting career in

1111
01:09:14.319 --> 01:09:18.119
the early sixties and continued all the way until her death.

1112
01:09:18.279 --> 01:09:20.720
She was well known as a voice actress on a

1113
01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:24.880
number of Disney animated movies, including The Little Mermaid, Hercules,

1114
01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:31.319
and she was also the voice of Gozer in Ghostbusters

1115
01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:34.840
from nineteen eighty four other films all over the place.

1116
01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:37.479
You can check out her IMDb. I saw her in

1117
01:09:37.520 --> 01:09:40.600
Corvette Summer, which I saw for some reason.

1118
01:09:40.640 --> 01:09:41.800
I don't remember why.

1119
01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:45.560
But she had guest appearances on the comedy series Night

1120
01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:49.720
Court as Bull Shannon's mother, working of course with John

1121
01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:54.479
Larriqutt in that series. So happy birthday to Patty Edwards.

1122
01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:58.479
Happy birthday as well to Angelique Petty John born Dorothy

1123
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:02.880
Lee Parns. Portrayed Shahana in the second season episode The

1124
01:10:02.920 --> 01:10:06.920
Gamesters of Treskellion, our second actor from that episode this Week.

1125
01:10:07.159 --> 01:10:09.439
Initially noted for her work on a number of B

1126
01:10:09.640 --> 01:10:12.880
movies and TV shows, was considered at one time for

1127
01:10:12.920 --> 01:10:15.880
the role of Nova in the original Planet of the

1128
01:10:16.039 --> 01:10:20.720
Apes film. She did start a number of adult and

1129
01:10:20.800 --> 01:10:24.720
B movies throughout the seventies, and I think one of

1130
01:10:24.760 --> 01:10:28.800
her coolest stories is that after a Star Trek the

1131
01:10:28.840 --> 01:10:32.000
motion picture came out, she became really involved in the

1132
01:10:32.039 --> 01:10:35.680
convention scene and it actually provided enough income for her

1133
01:10:35.760 --> 01:10:38.520
to be able to kind of rehabilitate her life, including

1134
01:10:39.159 --> 01:10:43.039
helping her overcome bouts of alcoholism and drug abuse and

1135
01:10:43.039 --> 01:10:45.640
that kind of stuff. So Star Trek was really a

1136
01:10:45.680 --> 01:10:48.359
healing vehicle for Angelique Petty John, and I just think

1137
01:10:48.399 --> 01:10:51.680
that's so special. Unfortunately, we lost her way too early

1138
01:10:51.720 --> 01:10:54.840
at the age of forty eight years old. Happy birthday

1139
01:10:54.840 --> 01:10:59.640
to Angelique Petty John. Happy birthday as well to Kate Woodville,

1140
01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:03.039
the English actress who played Natira in the TuS third

1141
01:11:03.079 --> 01:11:06.159
season episode This for the World Is Hollow. And I

1142
01:11:06.199 --> 01:11:11.119
Have Touched the Sky. Initially credited as Catherine Woodville, she

1143
01:11:11.199 --> 01:11:14.840
was quite a prolific actress during the nineteen sixties and seventies,

1144
01:11:14.880 --> 01:11:17.560
appearing in a number of movies and guest starring in

1145
01:11:17.600 --> 01:11:22.159
television series all over the place. In fact, the murder

1146
01:11:22.279 --> 01:11:25.800
of her character in the first episode of The Avengers

1147
01:11:26.359 --> 01:11:29.479
was the driving force for that series right from the

1148
01:11:29.520 --> 01:11:32.479
get go. So pretty cool. You can check her out,

1149
01:11:32.479 --> 01:11:37.960
and things like Mission Impossible and Black Gun and the

1150
01:11:37.960 --> 01:11:41.560
World War two TV mini series The Reineman Exchange from

1151
01:11:41.640 --> 01:11:48.039
nineteen seventy seven, which actually also starred Renee Auberjenoiss as well,

1152
01:11:48.359 --> 01:11:53.720
and Culjak The Knight Sockers yet another one. Kate was

1153
01:11:53.760 --> 01:11:57.479
born in the UK. She did unfortunately lose her life

1154
01:11:57.479 --> 01:12:00.800
here in Portland, Oregon, back in twenty thirteen at seventy

1155
01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:05.159
five years old. So happy birthday to Kate Whinville. Happy Birthdays.

1156
01:12:05.760 --> 01:12:08.039
There's a connection between her pass and.

1157
01:12:09.600 --> 01:12:12.760
I'm trying to, like, weirdly claim some cred that I'm

1158
01:12:12.800 --> 01:12:13.520
not sure I want.

1159
01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:17.680
Yeah, is our city responsible for her dog? Sounds like you're.

1160
01:12:17.560 --> 01:12:20.079
Saying, I'm not really sure what I'm saying, Paul. I'm

1161
01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:21.159
sorry was a.

1162
01:12:21.079 --> 01:12:24.319
Great career, as English actors had a great career Portland.

1163
01:12:24.439 --> 01:12:27.720
Orgon, that's what I'm hearing twenty thirteen.

1164
01:12:28.239 --> 01:12:29.439
Yeah, it's all. It's all.

1165
01:12:29.720 --> 01:12:31.159
I was here, man, it's all.

1166
01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:31.760
The rain.

1167
01:12:34.760 --> 01:12:35.920
Can't let yours out.

1168
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:42.359
I'm sure she spent her last days, uh, you know,

1169
01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:45.000
enjoying all of the wonderful things about Portland.

1170
01:12:45.359 --> 01:12:48.079
Oh yes, all right.

1171
01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:55.960
Moving on, Happy birthday to Frank Emmons Overton uh, the

1172
01:12:56.000 --> 01:12:59.399
actor who played Elia Sandoval in the TuS first season

1173
01:12:59.439 --> 01:13:03.880
episode This Side of Paradise. He is among the few

1174
01:13:04.079 --> 01:13:06.399
guest star actors in the original series who have been

1175
01:13:06.439 --> 01:13:10.319
listed with the credits of special guest Star, so he

1176
01:13:10.399 --> 01:13:12.840
was a big enough cheese when he got the role

1177
01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:15.640
to be special guest star. He had a reoccurring role

1178
01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:21.159
on the television World War two series Twelve o'clock High,

1179
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:25.039
but he's probably best known for his film role as

1180
01:13:25.119 --> 01:13:28.760
Sheriff heck Tate in the Acclaim nineteen sixty two adaptation

1181
01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:33.960
of To Kill a Mockingbird. Unfortunately, Overton's life and career

1182
01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:36.119
were cut short when he suffered a heart attack in

1183
01:13:36.199 --> 01:13:39.039
nineteen sixty seven, dying at the young age of forty

1184
01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:42.520
nine years old. Just a month or so after This

1185
01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:45.840
Side of Paradise actually came out. So happy birthday to

1186
01:13:46.000 --> 01:13:51.199
Frank Overton, and last, but certainly not least, we offer

1187
01:13:51.279 --> 01:13:59.520
our condolences and warm remembrances to Anton Viktrovich Joachin, the

1188
01:13:59.640 --> 01:14:03.439
Russian born actor from southern California who played Pavel Chekhov

1189
01:14:04.119 --> 01:14:06.439
in Star Trek two thousand and nine, Star Trek Into

1190
01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:12.000
Darkness and Star Trek Beyond. He also played Kyle Reese

1191
01:14:12.039 --> 01:14:16.000
in the Terminator Salvation movie. Yelchin was of course born

1192
01:14:16.079 --> 01:14:19.199
in Leningrad, which is now known as Saint Petersburg in Russia,

1193
01:14:19.239 --> 01:14:22.039
with the second largest city of the Soviet Union at

1194
01:14:22.079 --> 01:14:24.279
the time, and when he was only six months old,

1195
01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:29.000
his parents emigrated to the United States, mostly because of

1196
01:14:29.039 --> 01:14:32.439
their Jewish background and the fact that the Soviets were

1197
01:14:32.479 --> 01:14:36.760
not that friendly to Jews. Walter Kanig actually shares that

1198
01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:40.800
kind of connection with him. He's also of Soviet Jewish parentage,

1199
01:14:40.800 --> 01:14:46.319
although his folks were from Lithuania versus Russia. Anton was

1200
01:14:46.439 --> 01:14:50.319
active in film and television starting in the year two thousand,

1201
01:14:50.359 --> 01:14:54.159
when he was only eleven years old, until his death

1202
01:14:54.640 --> 01:14:57.760
in twenty sixteen. In two thousand and nine, He was

1203
01:14:57.800 --> 01:15:01.119
part of the Star Trek Ensemble, which received a Washington,

1204
01:15:01.199 --> 01:15:05.119
DC Area Film Critics Association Award nomination in the category

1205
01:15:05.199 --> 01:15:09.239
Best Ensemble and won a Boston Society of Film Critics

1206
01:15:09.239 --> 01:15:13.560
Award in the category of Best Ensemble. He also enjoyed

1207
01:15:13.560 --> 01:15:18.399
playing the guitar, and privately, we found out later was

1208
01:15:18.439 --> 01:15:24.279
battling cistic fibrosis, relying on treatments from the Southern University

1209
01:15:24.319 --> 01:15:28.239
of Southern California's Kex Hospital while he was still with us.

1210
01:15:28.880 --> 01:15:32.760
After his death, they formed a foundation to help actors

1211
01:15:32.760 --> 01:15:37.600
with disabilities like him. Twenty seventeen, and following a one

1212
01:15:37.640 --> 01:15:41.319
million dollar donation, the Adult Cistic Fibrosis Center at Keck

1213
01:15:41.399 --> 01:15:47.479
Hospital was renamed the Anton Yelchin Cystic Fibrosis Clinic. So

1214
01:15:47.600 --> 01:15:51.279
really special actor lost through a weird accident when he

1215
01:15:51.319 --> 01:15:55.399
was twenty seven years old. Happy Birthday to Anton Yelchin.

1216
01:15:55.840 --> 01:15:59.319
And that does it for our remembrances, guys, So let's

1217
01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:03.520
pass the flaming birthday candle on TV all right?

1218
01:16:05.239 --> 01:16:10.479
The first Happy Birthday goes to Marnie Moseman, who played

you know, it seems they seems to me had a thing.

1259
01:19:15.039 --> 01:19:17.439
I don't know, but there you go. I'm just based

1260
01:19:17.720 --> 01:19:20.239
on the evidence that's Cannon found. You guys are married

1261
01:19:20.279 --> 01:19:23.640
to Cannon. I'm just you know, judging from Canada. So

1262
01:19:23.680 --> 01:19:26.600
there you go. She also worked on The Glass Managerie

1263
01:19:26.920 --> 01:19:29.479
in nineteen seventy three, which earned her two Emmy Awards,

the Year. She portrayed Judge Evelyn Magruder in the nineteen

1266
01:19:36.640 --> 01:19:41.600
ninety five film Judge Dread. That's the stallone version of

1267
01:19:41.680 --> 01:19:45.600
Judge drud which has its awkward moments, but it's really

1268
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:48.239
fun to look at. Oh give it that.

1269
01:19:48.920 --> 01:19:49.359
There you go.

1270
01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:52.159

I do not know.

1279
01:20:17.439 --> 01:20:20.960
Well, it's not hot bog hophog I think is what

1280
01:20:21.039 --> 01:20:26.920
it is. I'm sorry anybody with that name. Oh my god,

1281
01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:31.039
please forgive me. I love everything about New York, but

1282
01:20:31.159 --> 01:20:32.880
oh my god, I think it's gotta be hop Bog.

1283
01:20:33.079 --> 01:20:36.079
I'm pretty sure I'll be looking at it after the show.

1284
01:20:36.880 --> 01:20:40.880
Happy birthday to the luminous Rachel Vice, English actress best

1285
01:20:40.920 --> 01:20:44.800
known for her role as Evelyn Carnahan in the Mummy

1286
01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:48.640
franchise of films The Money and the Mummy Returns, and

1287
01:20:48.960 --> 01:20:53.159
also played Melina Vostakoff in the Black Widow solo film

1288
01:20:53.439 --> 01:20:56.640
from the Mobal Cinematic Universe, and last I checked, she

1289
01:20:56.800 --> 01:21:00.000
was married to Daniel Craig and I'm enjoying a very

1290
01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:03.520
lovely marriage together with there. But she's very talented. I

1291
01:21:03.520 --> 01:21:05.920
mean we could just barely scratch the surface of her

1292
01:21:05.960 --> 01:21:08.600
work a short amount of time that we have here,

1293
01:21:08.720 --> 01:21:12.600
but I'm telling you really impressive. I mean she's done

1294
01:21:12.600 --> 01:21:14.800
a lot of great work. So a very good actress,

1295
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:20.560
full of good work. Amazing, So do not sell her short.

1296
01:21:20.760 --> 01:21:24.920
Rachel Bisses is spectacular. This next, gentleman, I'm a big

1297
01:21:24.960 --> 01:21:27.119
fan of, and I think one of our best living actress.

1298
01:21:27.239 --> 01:21:32.600
Frankly is Guatemalan American actor Oscar Isaac, who is phenomenal,

1299
01:21:32.600 --> 01:21:34.079
and a lot of people are like, oh, yeah, the

1300
01:21:34.119 --> 01:21:37.680
Star Wars guy, right, Yeah, In The Force Awakens and

1301
01:21:37.720 --> 01:21:41.279
The Last Jedi and all that, he played a fighter

1302
01:21:41.319 --> 01:21:44.279
pilot Po Dameran, Right, was really great character in one

1303
01:21:44.279 --> 01:21:47.239
of the highlights of the sequel trilogy. Right, Po Dameran's

1304
01:21:47.319 --> 01:21:51.159
terrific and thanks to their good fortune to hire and

1305
01:21:51.239 --> 01:21:54.319
be able to get Oscar Isaac to do their work.

1306
01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:58.239
But this guy is phenomenal. Okay, I've been enjoying his

1307
01:21:58.319 --> 01:22:01.239
career for quite a long time, ever since he appeared

1308
01:22:01.279 --> 01:22:05.720
in a science fiction movie called X Machina And if

1309
01:22:05.720 --> 01:22:09.720
you don't know, X Macana run so good.

1310
01:22:10.359 --> 01:22:11.119
That's so good.

1311
01:22:11.359 --> 01:22:13.640
I saw that movie in the theater and I walked out,

1312
01:22:13.680 --> 01:22:15.279
and my wife and I looked at each other and

1313
01:22:15.319 --> 01:22:18.279
were like, we just kind of have to sit with

1314
01:22:18.319 --> 01:22:20.880
that for like fifteen minutes before we can even start

1315
01:22:20.920 --> 01:22:21.760
to talk about.

1316
01:22:24.119 --> 01:22:27.359
The same kat who did the original twenty eight days later,

1317
01:22:27.800 --> 01:22:32.920
who wrote that right, really brilliant work. But he's amazing

1318
01:22:32.920 --> 01:22:37.039
in that picture a movie everybody should see, real serious

1319
01:22:37.039 --> 01:22:41.800
sci fi. In the Dune movies, the recent Denis Villeneuv movies.

1320
01:22:42.079 --> 01:22:45.960
He plays Duke Lico Atredees, Paul's father and did so

1321
01:22:45.960 --> 01:22:48.800
so memorably in that first movie. Oh my God. He

1322
01:22:48.920 --> 01:22:55.680
was just phenomenal. MCU fans know him as being Moonlight

1323
01:22:55.960 --> 01:22:57.920
in the limited series that was on there for a while,

1324
01:22:57.920 --> 01:23:01.000
where he played a couple of different roles. Moonlight is

1325
01:23:01.239 --> 01:23:04.359
quite amazing because Oscar had to play a couple of

1326
01:23:04.439 --> 01:23:07.319
different versions of the same character, battling it out inside

1327
01:23:07.319 --> 01:23:10.920
of his consciousness. It's an amazing performance spread out over

1328
01:23:11.039 --> 01:23:15.520
several episodes, really really tough work. And then just this

1329
01:23:15.600 --> 01:23:20.479
last year he had the headline role in as the

1330
01:23:20.560 --> 01:23:27.520
doctor doctor Victor Frankenstein in Guiermo del Toro's Frankenstein. Wow, okay,

1331
01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:30.239
I mean to be able to work with Deni and

1332
01:23:30.960 --> 01:23:33.680
Guillermo del Toro. I mean, he's just had such an

1333
01:23:33.720 --> 01:23:39.399
incredible career, really really comes to work hard when it's

1334
01:23:39.399 --> 01:23:41.359
time for a role. He's just never just fund today.

1335
01:23:41.439 --> 01:23:45.880
He's a tremendous performer. A big fan Oscar. I would

1336
01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:47.720
love to get a chance to interview some day. You're

1337
01:23:47.760 --> 01:23:53.279
just amazing. Happy Birthday goes out to American actress Sharon Stone,

1338
01:23:54.159 --> 01:23:58.600
who very often will play temptaos and women of Mystery

1339
01:23:58.680 --> 01:24:02.119
and her She first showed up and had a breakthrough

1340
01:24:02.199 --> 01:24:07.560
role in Paul Verhoven's Total Recall wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger

1341
01:24:07.600 --> 01:24:12.119
in that particular movie. But this is a seriously talented woman, okay,

1342
01:24:12.199 --> 01:24:14.239
I mean what an actor. I mean, she's done so

1343
01:24:14.239 --> 01:24:17.960
many different pictures, really great Western she did with Sam

1344
01:24:18.039 --> 01:24:20.560
Raimi called it Quick in the Dead. Of course, everyone

1345
01:24:20.600 --> 01:24:25.119
remembers her for her famous slouching posture in Basic Instincts,

1346
01:24:25.960 --> 01:24:29.840
which is not to be forgotten anytime soon, worked really

1347
01:24:29.880 --> 01:24:35.399
memorably with SCORSESEI in Casino. She's just done so many

1348
01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:39.319
great pictures, right, I mean, you just she's always working

1349
01:24:39.880 --> 01:24:42.199
all the time. I mean, she's had a huge CV

1350
01:24:42.920 --> 01:24:47.520
tons of stuff open, open, what's the word of outspoken?

1351
01:24:47.760 --> 01:24:50.319
You know, does not shy away from saying her mind

1352
01:24:50.399 --> 01:24:55.800
and really talented, does action and drama equally. Well, she's

1353
01:24:55.840 --> 01:24:59.640
just an illuminary so a tremendous performer, A big fan.

1354
01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:02.840
And then I'll close out here going back to the

1355
01:25:02.840 --> 01:25:07.319
original series and say a happy birthday to Nancy Kovac,

1356
01:25:07.920 --> 01:25:12.720
who folks may remember for playing Nonah rather memorably in

1357
01:25:12.840 --> 01:25:17.640
the second season original series episode of Private Little War

1358
01:25:19.039 --> 01:25:22.000
let's go back. All I can say is you caused

1359
01:25:22.199 --> 01:25:24.800
some serious injuries to me as a young man growing up,

1360
01:25:24.840 --> 01:25:27.319
and that's really let's just leave it at that. But

1361
01:25:27.479 --> 01:25:31.520
I had never seen anyone like you, and I don't

1362
01:25:31.520 --> 01:25:36.279
think I have said so. I mean, amazing, indelible, unforgettable performance.

1363
01:25:36.359 --> 01:25:41.920
So they have it amazing. There's a lot of eye

1364
01:25:41.920 --> 01:25:46.399
candy in the original series. And I should stop talking

1365
01:25:46.399 --> 01:25:49.880
while I still can. So i's still f on microphone.

1366
01:25:49.920 --> 01:25:55.359
That's all this. Yeah, but I was young, young you

1367
01:25:55.399 --> 01:25:58.439
think things here? You're thing is making indelible, bringing out

1368
01:25:58.479 --> 01:26:02.960
like a puppy little imprint on some thing, like, oh,

1369
01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:04.840
it's the first thing I've ever seen. Well, you know,

1370
01:26:05.720 --> 01:26:09.680
certain behaviors are cemented in childish forever. So there you are,

1371
01:26:10.239 --> 01:26:14.680
all right, but segue really awkwardly to Uncle Jim.

1372
01:26:15.039 --> 01:26:19.119
Didn't she get attacked by the No?

1373
01:26:19.279 --> 01:26:21.680
No, no, she was Nona was the healer. She was the

1374
01:26:21.720 --> 01:26:23.640
only one who knew how to save. If you got

1375
01:26:23.680 --> 01:26:26.720
bit by Magatu, if you didn't get to Nona, you're

1376
01:26:26.760 --> 01:26:29.039
dead because she had the She was like a new

1377
01:26:29.039 --> 01:26:31.119
to woman, don't you remember that? I am then a

1378
01:26:31.119 --> 01:26:32.039
canwto woman.

1379
01:26:32.239 --> 01:26:32.560
Captain.

1380
01:26:33.800 --> 01:26:36.359
I have the special herbs. I'm going to rub all

1381
01:26:36.399 --> 01:26:39.279
over your body what she does and shed flimb on

1382
01:26:39.319 --> 01:26:42.239
top of you and her crazy fury best that she

1383
01:26:42.399 --> 01:26:42.840
was wearing.

1384
01:26:42.880 --> 01:26:51.920
And yeah, I think Uncle Chimneys get me some images

1385
01:26:51.960 --> 01:26:53.520
in my head that I don't want.

1386
01:26:54.920 --> 01:27:00.680
Everything I'm saying is canny. That's just important history, Uncle Jim,

1387
01:27:00.840 --> 01:27:01.880
and you started.

1388
01:27:03.199 --> 01:27:06.039
That's is true. It was a situating thing. I had

1389
01:27:06.039 --> 01:27:18.760
to be along. So so far.

1390
01:27:19.920 --> 01:27:23.279
All right, I don't have a long I usually save

1391
01:27:23.359 --> 01:27:26.960
the kling host last. My first one, though, is not

1392
01:27:27.079 --> 01:27:28.920
a klingon, although she was.

1393
01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:33.520
A major league back in the day. And uh, she.

1394
01:27:35.000 --> 01:27:40.159
Was talking about with Nancy here a moment. Uh, we

1395
01:27:40.399 --> 01:27:45.800
want to say happy birthday to Francisco Romano Rivelli, who

1396
01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:50.840
professionally was known as Oh my God as Omala Moute.

1397
01:27:52.119 --> 01:27:55.920
She's a very Italian actress. But outside of Italy.

1398
01:27:56.159 --> 01:27:59.479
What is she known for. She's known for playing and

1399
01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:04.119
Ash Gordon as Princess Aura. And uh, you know who

1400
01:28:04.159 --> 01:28:05.199
did the sound shock.

1401
01:28:05.079 --> 01:28:06.199
For that, David.

1402
01:28:08.000 --> 01:28:10.760
The King.

1403
01:28:14.119 --> 01:28:17.720
You know, I would be a miss. I would be

1404
01:28:17.800 --> 01:28:22.199
your miss. With my job as the host, I didn't do.

1405
01:28:22.960 --> 01:28:25.119
You know one very important thing for you.

1406
01:28:25.119 --> 01:28:26.600
Guys, and that is.

1407
01:28:31.720 --> 01:28:33.720
Thank you all right, now you're going to.

1408
01:28:33.720 --> 01:28:43.079
Be and that's by the Queen's dedicate.

1409
01:28:42.640 --> 01:28:49.520
That Freddy Mercury would be proud or something.

1410
01:28:50.399 --> 01:28:52.439
I feel like we need show notes that are like,

1411
01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:56.239
we know it's not pronounced, we know it's not the Queen's.

1412
01:28:59.359 --> 01:29:03.000
I feel like entertain a lawyer in Hollywood strike right now.

1413
01:29:06.439 --> 01:29:07.359
You know it's.

1414
01:29:10.319 --> 01:29:12.920
People all the podcast who get it and those who

1415
01:29:12.960 --> 01:29:15.600
don't longer so they do.

1416
01:29:16.399 --> 01:29:18.680
How did you pronounce? How did you pronounce her name?

1417
01:29:18.800 --> 01:29:19.439
Ornella? Muti?

1418
01:29:19.520 --> 01:29:19.920
Did you say it?

1419
01:29:19.920 --> 01:29:20.399
Where? Mama?

1420
01:29:20.560 --> 01:29:20.880
Something?

1421
01:29:20.960 --> 01:29:24.239
I mean, said Francis Cornella Moody.

1422
01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:29.399
Right, just let's get it right. I beg of you, Cornella.

1423
01:29:30.119 --> 01:29:32.880
It's like tell it only differently.

1424
01:29:34.159 --> 01:29:37.319
What were you saying earlier about appreciating great pronunciation?

1425
01:29:37.560 --> 01:29:54.079
Paul, Oh, I do have some cling on so we

1426
01:29:54.399 --> 01:30:01.920
can move away, but it's right up there, so I

1427
01:30:01.960 --> 01:30:02.520
gotta get that.

1428
01:30:03.359 --> 01:30:06.399
We don't want to say happy birthday. It's Fricia O'Neal.

1429
01:30:07.640 --> 01:30:11.920
She's the actress from Shreesport, Louisiana, who played Rachel Garrett

1430
01:30:11.920 --> 01:30:15.079
in the TNG third season episode Yesterday's.

1431
01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:21.279
Enterprise Phenomenal Phenomenal episode. She also appear as correct in

1432
01:30:21.319 --> 01:30:25.840
the sixth season episode Suspicions and Coronie in the DS

1433
01:30:26.039 --> 01:30:29.439
nine third season episode Defiant and there she is on

1434
01:30:29.479 --> 01:30:31.680
the screen. She was a queen on a Cardassian and

1435
01:30:32.800 --> 01:30:38.000
a star fleet captain. So happy birthday, Costricia O'Neill. Her

1436
01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:42.119
character was also featured in Section thirty one, although not

1437
01:30:42.199 --> 01:30:43.840
played by this actress.

1438
01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:47.479
Yeah, and Jim, if you're Jim, I'll just say if

1439
01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:50.159
you're interested in more Rachel Garrett stuff too, there's a

1440
01:30:50.760 --> 01:30:53.159
there's a Star Trek novel called Well of Souls that

1441
01:30:53.279 --> 01:30:56.039
kind of features her that I've read that is not

1442
01:30:56.399 --> 01:30:59.920
too shabby. So if you really dig that enterprise see Captain,

1443
01:31:00.000 --> 01:31:01.520
I want to know more about her, you can check

1444
01:31:01.520 --> 01:31:02.039
out that book.

1445
01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:06.399
Oh, Nacelle is about to release the very first Rachel

1446
01:31:06.439 --> 01:31:11.079
Garrett action figure like in Weeks from Them like any Day.

1447
01:31:11.560 --> 01:31:14.479
That has got a stunning lightness of Tisha O'Neill, So

1448
01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:15.319
look for that.

1449
01:31:16.239 --> 01:31:18.960
We'll have to have an alive on boxing with Paul

1450
01:31:19.760 --> 01:31:21.960
maybe possibly.

1451
01:31:22.680 --> 01:31:26.680
Of course, she was on Bablon Fire and Parana to

1452
01:31:27.039 --> 01:31:30.680
the Spawning another one of those classics that you can't miss.

1453
01:31:31.319 --> 01:31:34.800
Karana to the Spawn. I'll leave it at that and

1454
01:31:35.479 --> 01:31:39.159
lost but not least on my list, the ultimate Klingon,

1455
01:31:39.720 --> 01:31:40.680
the Klingon.

1456
01:31:40.439 --> 01:31:44.479
Badass of all Klingon badasses, the badass who put them

1457
01:31:44.960 --> 01:31:47.279
in the arm of one of his friends and blew

1458
01:31:47.359 --> 01:31:53.800
him up just to make it we will Patrick Mussette,

1459
01:31:53.840 --> 01:31:54.720
Who the hell is he?

1460
01:31:54.920 --> 01:31:55.880
Who is he? Paul?

1461
01:31:57.399 --> 01:31:58.880
He's doing as.

1462
01:32:00.960 --> 01:32:05.239
That's right, and I believe it that though. This is

1463
01:32:05.279 --> 01:32:07.439
the part that shocks me. I think most fans.

1464
01:32:07.439 --> 01:32:13.039
He only appeared in two two episodes of Starship, but

1465
01:32:13.159 --> 01:32:15.840
it seems like he was around forever, like he's one

1466
01:32:15.840 --> 01:32:17.840
of those quint the sense of Klingons.

1467
01:32:17.920 --> 01:32:21.880
But he only appeared twice. The first time was in

1468
01:32:21.920 --> 01:32:26.039
the episode Sins of the Father, and the last time

1469
01:32:26.079 --> 01:32:30.039
we see him it was in Reunion where he kills

1470
01:32:30.199 --> 01:32:34.359
Kalar two excellent episode. I think that's why he's so memorable,

1471
01:32:34.399 --> 01:32:37.000
because he was only in two, but he was into

1472
01:32:37.239 --> 01:32:37.840
kick ass.

1473
01:32:38.359 --> 01:32:41.399
I think, hey, why only we thought that he was

1474
01:32:41.479 --> 01:32:45.319
in more episode would because your name would mention throughout

1475
01:32:45.319 --> 01:32:48.720
the entire Sister.

1476
01:32:48.159 --> 01:32:48.880
And he's just.

1477
01:32:51.760 --> 01:32:56.159
And in and in Reunion he is just just I mean,

1478
01:32:56.239 --> 01:33:00.039
he just he's like Bond villain level evil. He's just

1479
01:33:00.199 --> 01:33:02.920
like everybody, he's just you know, he owned that role.

1480
01:33:03.079 --> 01:33:07.279
I mean he's just so, he's just he's just yeah,

1481
01:33:07.399 --> 01:33:10.199
you just want it. You love hating him. He's just terribly.

1482
01:33:11.680 --> 01:33:13.880
Yeah. He was really really good.

1483
01:33:14.439 --> 01:33:18.199
And in twenty ten, he joined the Battlestar Galactica series,

1484
01:33:19.880 --> 01:33:23.479
serving as co executive producer, and he wrote two episodes

1485
01:33:24.279 --> 01:33:29.880
self Happy Birthday, Patrick Massette and guess what that wraps up.

1486
01:33:29.800 --> 01:33:33.840
Our Star Trek birthdays? Hard to believe? Hard to believe.

1487
01:33:35.319 --> 01:33:37.359
It's almost time for our Star Trek news, but I

1488
01:33:37.359 --> 01:33:38.479
gotta leave this one one.

1489
01:33:44.279 --> 01:33:49.520
Clean themselves all that it's time for our Star Trek news.

1490
01:33:49.760 --> 01:33:51.560
And Eric, do you have a song for us?

1491
01:33:52.640 --> 01:33:55.359
I do not, but we have a new segment which

1492
01:33:55.520 --> 01:33:59.079
is parallel to our Shatner says, what segment? But this

1493
01:33:59.159 --> 01:34:03.520
time we're saying. Frakes says, what That's right. Jonathan Frakes

1494
01:34:03.560 --> 01:34:08.399
confirms that he just directed his final Star Trek episode

1495
01:34:08.760 --> 01:34:13.720
for now. Jonathan Frakes confirmed that Star Trek Starfleet Academy

Episode nine is the final Star Trek episode he has directed.

1497
01:34:17.840 --> 01:34:20.720
Written by Kristen Byer from a story by Buyer and

1498
01:34:20.800 --> 01:34:24.920
Kenneth Lynn. Star Trek Starfleet Academy Episode nine, three hundredth

1499
01:34:25.039 --> 01:34:29.039
Night is the first half of season one's two part finale.

1500
01:34:29.359 --> 01:34:32.600
Fraakes began his directing career while he played Commander William

1501
01:34:32.640 --> 01:34:36.720
Riker in Star Trek The Next Generation, including Star Trek,

1502
01:34:36.880 --> 01:34:41.960
Starfleet Academy episode nine. Jonathan has helmed thirty one episodes

1503
01:34:42.119 --> 01:34:49.079
total of Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Discovery, Picard, Strange,

1504
01:34:49.119 --> 01:34:54.600
New Worlds, and the feature films First Contact and Insurrection.

1505
01:34:55.159 --> 01:34:58.640
He verified rumors that three hundred yeah, that.

1506
01:35:01.119 --> 01:35:06.680
Yeah, the ultimate Strek resume. Yeah, I think that's. Yeah,

1507
01:35:06.720 --> 01:35:07.560
what more things say?

1508
01:35:07.920 --> 01:35:09.880
I mean, I don't know if there's anybody else that's

1509
01:35:09.920 --> 01:35:12.600
done more, and it's it's a pretty good resume and

1510
01:35:12.640 --> 01:35:14.880
there's a lot of really high quality stuff on there.

1511
01:35:16.479 --> 01:35:19.199
He verified that rumors that three hundredth night is the

1512
01:35:19.279 --> 01:35:22.039
last episode of Star Trek he will direct for the

1513
01:35:22.079 --> 01:35:25.840
time being. He said, uh, yeah, it wouldn't have been.

1514
01:35:26.359 --> 01:35:28.880
I wouldn't have been able to make the schedule for

1515
01:35:28.960 --> 01:35:32.680
the other shows. So perhaps he was approached for the

1516
01:35:32.760 --> 01:35:35.159
other shows that are currently in development and he was

1517
01:35:35.239 --> 01:35:39.920
not able to accommodate their schedules. Star Trek, Starfleet, Strange,

1518
01:35:39.920 --> 01:35:43.159
New Worlds Season four and five were filmed in twenty

1519
01:35:43.199 --> 01:35:47.560
twenty five, and filming of its series finale wrapped in December.

1520
01:35:48.079 --> 01:35:51.359
Star Trek Starfleet Academy Season two's filming began in August

1521
01:35:51.359 --> 01:35:54.279
twenty twenty five and wrapped in late February twenty twenty six.

1522
01:35:54.880 --> 01:35:57.199
Frake said that it didn't work with his schedule in

1523
01:35:57.199 --> 01:36:00.840
twenty twenty five, which included launching his new podcast with

1524
01:36:00.920 --> 01:36:06.720
Brent Spiner, dropping names and other things. The final episode

1525
01:36:06.720 --> 01:36:10.079
of Star trek Strange New Worlds that Jonathan Franks directed

1526
01:36:10.239 --> 01:36:14.520
was a space adventure hour, the Holidack Murder mystery episode

1527
01:36:14.600 --> 01:36:19.039
of season three. Unfortunately, a space adventure hour wasn't as

1528
01:36:19.039 --> 01:36:23.760
acclaimed or warmly received as those old Scientists. Star Trek's

1529
01:36:23.760 --> 01:36:27.560
Strange New world season two crossover with Star Trek's Lower

1530
01:36:27.680 --> 01:36:33.119
Decks that Franks also helmed. Beyond Star Trek, Jonathan Fraankes

1531
01:36:33.119 --> 01:36:37.079
has directed episodes of many television series like Roswell Castle,

1532
01:36:37.199 --> 01:36:41.720
The Librarians, The Orville, and the feature films Clock Stoppers

1533
01:36:41.800 --> 01:36:45.920
and Thunderbirds. However, Frakes is best known and most beloved

1534
01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:49.720
as the favorite director of the various Star Trek folks

1535
01:36:49.760 --> 01:36:53.760
on Paramount Plus casts. The Affable Bearded Legend has worked with,

1536
01:36:54.439 --> 01:36:58.520
starting with Star Trek Discovery. Franks has been making Star

1537
01:36:58.600 --> 01:37:01.039
Trek of one kind or another free very long time,

1538
01:37:01.119 --> 01:37:03.359
so he has some experience when it comes to dealing

1539
01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:07.560
with fandoms. He calls himself an eternal optimist, but is

1540
01:37:07.640 --> 01:37:12.279
nonetheless surprised by how much hate Starfleet Academy has received

1541
01:37:12.800 --> 01:37:16.119
in some quarters. He said, I was prepared because when

1542
01:37:16.119 --> 01:37:18.600
Next Gen came out almost forty years ago, we were trolled,

1543
01:37:18.640 --> 01:37:22.239
he laughs. Nobody wanted us, and this was pre Internet.

1544
01:37:22.359 --> 01:37:26.880
But it's still dimensionally more painful today as the trolls

1545
01:37:26.880 --> 01:37:29.760
are hiding and the trolls are hating the first rule

1546
01:37:29.800 --> 01:37:33.199
of the Constitution. I guess they're entitled to their opinion,

1547
01:37:33.239 --> 01:37:36.800
but it surprises me how aggressive anti they are with

1548
01:37:36.960 --> 01:37:40.119
each new iteration of the show. And he continues to

1549
01:37:40.119 --> 01:37:43.600
surprise me, and I tried not to let it upset me.

1550
01:37:44.439 --> 01:37:48.560
That is smart, Jonathan, given that half of it's probably

1551
01:37:48.600 --> 01:37:52.279
produced by machines and not people. Star Trek Starfleet Academy

1552
01:37:52.279 --> 01:37:56.159
Episode eight is Jonathan Frank's last Star Trek directorial gig,

1553
01:37:56.279 --> 01:37:58.000
at least for the time being, as there is no

1554
01:37:59.359 --> 01:38:03.960
new Star Trek currently in production. When Paramount Skydance decides

1555
01:38:04.039 --> 01:38:06.840
on what the next Trek direction of Star Trek will

1556
01:38:06.840 --> 01:38:10.159
be and whether it will continue Alex Kurtzman's run as

1557
01:38:10.239 --> 01:38:14.479
Star Trek. Executive producer Jonathan Frakes would likely be happy

1558
01:38:14.520 --> 01:38:19.359
to return and direct whatever Star Trek comes next if asked.

1559
01:38:20.520 --> 01:38:23.399
So yeah, I mean, you know, he's kind of saying, well,

1560
01:38:23.439 --> 01:38:25.039
there's no new Star Trek coming up, so I haven't

1561
01:38:25.039 --> 01:38:29.239
been hired for anything, but that resume is really something else,

1562
01:38:29.479 --> 01:38:33.079
and it's fun to think about all of the cool

1563
01:38:33.079 --> 01:38:36.439
stuff he's done in Star Trek. I actually got to

1564
01:38:36.439 --> 01:38:38.079
shake the man's hand once, and I will tell you

1565
01:38:38.119 --> 01:38:43.079
that he had a very nice, cool touch and he

1566
01:38:43.119 --> 01:38:44.760
looks you right in the eye when he shakes your hand,

1567
01:38:44.760 --> 01:38:48.119
which is very cool. So anyway, that's our information about

1568
01:38:48.199 --> 01:38:55.560
Jonathan Frakes. So yeah, oh, of course, of course.

1569
01:38:56.560 --> 01:38:59.479
I always got to tell a story. When Star Trek

1570
01:38:59.479 --> 01:39:01.600
first came out. My wife was totally a name or

1571
01:39:01.960 --> 01:39:03.920
by writer, loved him, loved him, love him.

1572
01:39:04.399 --> 01:39:06.640
So I got to go to a Star Trek convention

1573
01:39:06.760 --> 01:39:09.319
so she didn't meet him, and it was up in Syracuse,

1574
01:39:09.359 --> 01:39:11.600
New York, and we had a nice storm and they

1575
01:39:11.640 --> 01:39:12.960
canceled the convention, but.

1576
01:39:12.920 --> 01:39:15.840
We were already there. So we're sitting in the lobby

1577
01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:19.800
between first and second season and Jonathan Franks comes walking

1578
01:39:19.840 --> 01:39:22.359
out to head off to the airport and guess what

1579
01:39:23.000 --> 01:39:26.680
he has a beard. Oh my god.

1580
01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:30.079
So we go over to talk to him, and the

1581
01:39:30.079 --> 01:39:32.159
guy that was run in the convention whisks him out

1582
01:39:32.159 --> 01:39:33.159
to do we don't have time for this.

1583
01:39:33.159 --> 01:39:35.760
We've got to get him of the airplane. Jonathan Franke says,

1584
01:39:36.680 --> 01:39:38.680
I always have time for my fans.

1585
01:39:38.840 --> 01:39:42.520
Is that not cool? We go into the ballroom. He

1586
01:39:42.600 --> 01:39:44.600
sits down with me and my wife and a friend

1587
01:39:44.600 --> 01:39:47.640
of mine and we're like a minute, minute and a half,

1588
01:39:47.640 --> 01:39:50.880
It wasn't long. What do you think about the beard?

1589
01:39:51.039 --> 01:39:52.760
And we're like why we like it? And he says,

1590
01:39:52.920 --> 01:39:55.680
I'll keep it for the next season. And we got

1591
01:39:55.680 --> 01:39:57.840
a picture with him. He put his honor because she

1592
01:39:57.960 --> 01:40:03.439
literally he was just like watching mhm Jonathan Frakes, And

1593
01:40:03.800 --> 01:40:06.079
he took a picture with us, shook our hand, and

1594
01:40:06.079 --> 01:40:07.880
he walked out the door. Like I said, it was

1595
01:40:07.920 --> 01:40:12.520
a two three minute conversation, but it meant the world

1596
01:40:12.520 --> 01:40:12.880
to us.

1597
01:40:12.920 --> 01:40:16.840
So he is a class act guy all the way.

1598
01:40:16.920 --> 01:40:19.720
So you could say that you were responsable for him

1599
01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:21.239
having a beard in the second season.

1600
01:40:22.199 --> 01:40:28.399
Just imagine if we had said no and shaved it off. Yeah, so,

1601
01:40:29.439 --> 01:40:30.479
and I alsome.

1602
01:40:30.479 --> 01:40:33.319
I want to say something to all these people out there.

1603
01:40:33.560 --> 01:40:37.159
When you have someone with the resume of Jonathan Frakes

1604
01:40:38.600 --> 01:40:41.960
defending Starfleet Academy. You have somebody like Kate mole Grew

1605
01:40:42.520 --> 01:40:45.520
coming to the defense of Starfleet Academy. You have Mary

1606
01:40:45.560 --> 01:40:50.039
Wiseman coming to the defense of Starfleet Academy, George George

1607
01:40:50.079 --> 01:40:52.680
de Kay coming to the defense of Starfleet Academy.

1608
01:40:52.880 --> 01:40:55.720
These are just not I mean, these are major Star

1609
01:40:55.760 --> 01:40:58.119
Trek actors. All these people that.

1610
01:40:58.079 --> 01:41:05.359
Are hating on it, You guys are mm hmm okay.

1611
01:41:05.399 --> 01:41:09.640
These people know their Star Trek, so obviously you're not

1612
01:41:09.800 --> 01:41:11.720
seeing something that's there.

1613
01:41:12.720 --> 01:41:15.159
I'm not gonna talk about it anymore, all right, Paul,

1614
01:41:15.560 --> 01:41:18.520
You're got on next story, buddy, all right, thank you.

1615
01:41:18.600 --> 01:41:21.560
But this just in pronunciation experts.

1616
01:41:21.079 --> 01:41:25.119
Of fun and asked me to make a.

1617
01:41:24.279 --> 01:41:27.520
Slight correction to my beloved New Yorkers. I must tell

1618
01:41:27.560 --> 01:41:29.960
you that, yes, I have learned that it is the

1619
01:41:30.239 --> 01:41:37.720
beautiful Hamlet is pronounced hop hog hop hog hop. Thank

1620
01:41:37.760 --> 01:41:42.399
you and apologies. We're here to educate you on this show.

1621
01:41:42.439 --> 01:41:45.119
And if something's mispronounced, we're gonna just grab the emergency

1622
01:41:45.119 --> 01:41:47.159
break of that subway train and we're going to correct it.

1623
01:41:47.199 --> 01:41:50.199
So and I would like to lead by example. Okay,

1624
01:41:50.279 --> 01:41:54.079
So there we go. Mispronunciation fixed. Now let's move on

1625
01:41:54.119 --> 01:42:00.840
to the world of special effects and crazy prismatic psychedelic conjectures,

1626
01:42:00.880 --> 01:42:04.359
shall we, Because for sixty years Star Trek has had

1627
01:42:04.760 --> 01:42:08.159
very colorful depictions of rainbows one way or another. And

1628
01:42:08.319 --> 01:42:11.319
let's talk about the rainbow warp effect. If we will.

1629
01:42:12.239 --> 01:42:17.039
You have seen it all dozens of times, banners, posters, trailers,

1630
01:42:17.039 --> 01:42:21.920
intro title sequences that vivid rainbow like warped field spectrum

1631
01:42:22.119 --> 01:42:25.479
let's use in some capacity, and nearly every Stark movie

1632
01:42:25.600 --> 01:42:28.840
and TV series since it was first adopted for nineteen

1633
01:42:28.920 --> 01:42:34.399
seventy nine's Star Trek The Motion Picture. The latest iteration

1634
01:42:34.560 --> 01:42:38.560
of this prismatic display appears in episode intros of Star

1635
01:42:38.600 --> 01:42:43.520
Trek Starfleet Academy. Now, in this new sixtieth anniversary tribute

1636
01:42:44.039 --> 01:42:47.960
to the trademark visual a parade of notable Federation viro

1637
01:42:48.039 --> 01:42:53.760
Starps starships, we can see the blazing new interstallar trails

1638
01:42:53.800 --> 01:42:56.239
towards new worlds and new civilizations and kind of a

1639
01:42:56.319 --> 01:42:59.239
warped conduit if you will. All the lineup shows the

1640
01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:02.880
Original Enterprise, the Enterprise, A Enterprise D, the Defiant, the Voyager,

1641
01:43:03.039 --> 01:43:06.720
n XO one, the Discovery, and the Stranger World's Enterprise,

1642
01:43:06.800 --> 01:43:13.279
and then wraps up with the USS Athena from Starfleet Academy.

1643
01:43:14.560 --> 01:43:17.880
Sure this nostalgic birthday animation sequence might be missing a

1644
01:43:17.880 --> 01:43:20.720
few favorite ships, the Cerritos for example, from Lower Decks,

1645
01:43:20.720 --> 01:43:25.640
the Protostar Prodigy, the Enterprise E from you know, First Contact.

1646
01:43:25.680 --> 01:43:27.479
I mean, how much time do we have? Really? I mean,

1647
01:43:27.520 --> 01:43:30.920
you know, it's a a fantastic way to embrace the

1648
01:43:30.960 --> 01:43:34.560
franchises enduring legacy in a very exhilarating manner by lining

1649
01:43:34.600 --> 01:43:37.760
up all these legendary armade in one big thing. But

1650
01:43:38.159 --> 01:43:41.159
what was it about the original eye catching faster than

1651
01:43:41.279 --> 01:43:44.560
light esthetic? What does it represent? What did is it

1652
01:43:44.600 --> 01:43:47.640
involved to become instantly recognizable part of the Star Trek U?

1653
01:43:48.800 --> 01:43:51.640
How did Star Trek become synonymous with the rainbow? This

1654
01:43:51.720 --> 01:43:54.840
is a very repetitive story, wouldn't you say? The initial

1655
01:43:54.920 --> 01:43:57.159
use of what's now become known as the rainbow warp

1656
01:43:57.199 --> 01:44:02.119
effect was boldly seen in paramounts ad campaign that you

1657
01:44:02.159 --> 01:44:04.560
can see right now if you're a Patreon, because there

1658
01:44:04.560 --> 01:44:06.760
it is. If you're a member, you can see the

1659
01:44:06.840 --> 01:44:08.600
colors unless your color blind.

1660
01:44:08.760 --> 01:44:09.199
That's okay.

1661
01:44:11.000 --> 01:44:13.960
Is originally seen for the ad campaign and one movie

1662
01:44:13.960 --> 01:44:16.600
poster for director Robert Wise's Star Trek the Motion Picture

1663
01:44:17.119 --> 01:44:20.640
Award winning American movie illustrator Bob Peete designed the iconic

1664
01:44:20.760 --> 01:44:24.079
rainbow poster for Star Trek the Motion Picture. Quite simply,

1665
01:44:24.159 --> 01:44:27.279
it was a way to represent the visible light spectrum

1666
01:44:27.279 --> 01:44:31.600
shift that occurred anytime the Enterprise made a warp jump. Okay,

1667
01:44:32.199 --> 01:44:35.000
the warp rainbow caught on and become a trademark element

1668
01:44:35.000 --> 01:44:38.720
for future Star Trek films. But while the rainbow effect

1669
01:44:38.760 --> 01:44:41.960
was meant to indicate a warp field, it was also

1670
01:44:42.000 --> 01:44:44.960
a deliberate design choice to latch onto the popularity of

1671
01:44:45.079 --> 01:44:48.720
rainbows and pop culture in the latter part of the decade,

1672
01:44:48.880 --> 01:44:51.279
whether it was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon,

1673
01:44:51.920 --> 01:44:57.399
the Apple logo, Morcs suspenders I think that's referencing You, Charles,

1674
01:44:58.039 --> 01:45:00.560
or the rising use of the rainbow as a symbol

1675
01:45:00.600 --> 01:45:07.159
for lgbt Q plus pride. The seventies were all about rainbows. Okay,

1676
01:45:07.800 --> 01:45:11.000
where did this article come from? I'm really curious as

1677
01:45:11.039 --> 01:45:15.680
to the sources. It's quite colorfully written. I think that

1678
01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:17.800
would be the only way to describe it. So we

1679
01:45:18.159 --> 01:45:21.000
shall reflect on that known further. But anyhow, go watch

1680
01:45:21.039 --> 01:45:24.159
this week Starfiet Academy and keep your wie your eyes

1681
01:45:24.279 --> 01:45:27.840
peeled for rainbows, if you so choose, and we'll pass

1682
01:45:27.880 --> 01:45:32.000
this over to the vivacious Virginian herself.

1683
01:45:31.760 --> 01:45:38.279
The very alliterative there, Paul, Thank you so much, thank you. Ah, yes, well.

1684
01:45:38.359 --> 01:45:43.640
Star Trek Prodigy wins an Emmy for Animation and that

1685
01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:47.079
was its second Emmy. The second season of the series

1686
01:45:47.600 --> 01:45:50.560
picked up the award for Animation at the fourth annual

1687
01:45:50.720 --> 01:45:56.439
Children's and Family Emmy Awards. Star Trek Prodigy visual development

1688
01:45:56.600 --> 01:46:01.359
artist Bastion Grevey was honored with a Special Jury Prize

1690
01:46:08.600 --> 01:46:12.560
Prizes do not compete with other nominees and are announced

1691
01:46:12.560 --> 01:46:16.439
shortly before the ceremony. This is a second time Prodigy

1692
01:46:17.199 --> 01:46:20.239
has won a Jury award at the Emmys. In twenty

1693
01:46:20.359 --> 01:46:28.800
twenty two, production designer Alessandro yes Taney won a Jury

Award for his work on the series. Star Trek Prodigy

1695
01:46:33.439 --> 01:46:37.840
also had two nominations for the Children and Family Emmy

1696
01:46:37.880 --> 01:46:41.840
Awards in twenty twenty six. Series star Kate mulgrew was

1697
01:46:41.960 --> 01:46:47.920

1699
01:46:54.319 --> 01:46:58.439

The Devourer of All Things Part One, but the award

1702
01:47:08.000 --> 01:47:11.000
went to the Pixar Disney Plus series Win or Lose.

1703
01:47:11.680 --> 01:47:15.960
The second season of Prodigy was exclusive to Netflix. The

1704
01:47:16.039 --> 01:47:19.439
streamer licensed the show after it was dropped by Paramount

1705
01:47:19.439 --> 01:47:23.720
Plus in the summer of twenty twenty three. Work on

1706
01:47:23.760 --> 01:47:27.319
the second season was already being finalized when Paramount Plus

1707
01:47:27.399 --> 01:47:30.680
dropped the show Gosh Save A Way of Dropping Good Shows,

1708
01:47:30.720 --> 01:47:36.079
Don't Say Ah. Following a Save Star Trek Prodigy fan campaign,

1709
01:47:36.640 --> 01:47:40.439
the series was picked up by Netflix, which began streaming

1710
01:47:40.600 --> 01:47:45.039
the first season on Christmas Day twenty twenty three. Season

1711
01:47:45.159 --> 01:47:50.279
one exited next Netflix last summer was season two, disappearing

1712
01:47:50.359 --> 01:47:53.600
from Netflix at the end of December twenty twenty five.

1713
01:47:54.359 --> 01:47:56.920
It isn't known if the show will find a new

1714
01:47:56.960 --> 01:48:00.960
streaming home or return to Paramount plus and two six.

1715
01:48:01.520 --> 01:48:04.319
But if you want to ensure you can see Prodigy

1716
01:48:04.399 --> 01:48:11.119
anytime you want, in the best possible quality, regardless of licensing, shenanigans,

1717
01:48:11.319 --> 01:48:19.039
and you know if they Sheanan once, they will sanan again. Sorry,

1718
01:48:19.079 --> 01:48:21.680
couldn't resist. You can pick it up on physical media.

1719
01:48:22.600 --> 01:48:27.239
The twenty episode first season is available on Amazon, split

1720
01:48:27.319 --> 01:48:32.000
into two, Volume one and Volume two. The Blu Ray

1721
01:48:32.039 --> 01:48:37.760
releases for each volume include collectible character cards. The twenty

1722
01:48:37.800 --> 01:48:43.399
season episode, twenty season episode, twenty season sorry, twenty episode

1723
01:48:43.800 --> 01:48:47.319
second season is available in a single package on Blu

1724
01:48:47.439 --> 01:48:52.359
Ray or DVD. So that is I think oop, I

1725
01:48:52.359 --> 01:48:58.039
think this repeats anyway, Yes, So that's Star Trek Prodigy.

1726
01:49:00.039 --> 01:49:03.560
As you're gonna come back on Paramount Plus or whenever

1727
01:49:03.600 --> 01:49:08.640
they call it. It should it's part of the Star Trek.

1728
01:49:08.800 --> 01:49:09.560
It should be there.

1729
01:49:09.560 --> 01:49:11.439
They told us that that was going to be the

1730
01:49:11.479 --> 01:49:17.560
home start, So let's get back. Come on people, you know,

1731
01:49:17.840 --> 01:49:21.479
and in season two was phenomenal. We reviewed it here

1732
01:49:21.520 --> 01:49:24.439
on the podcast. I think it was great.

1733
01:49:25.399 --> 01:49:27.600
I've got one more scary here for you.

1734
01:49:27.720 --> 01:49:33.039
Hereto TV adds a new free channel. This match with

1735
01:49:33.319 --> 01:49:38.199
Star Track Movies. Plato TV just watched a free channel

1736
01:49:38.199 --> 01:49:41.800
with major content drops. In March, the free streaming service

1737
01:49:41.840 --> 01:49:47.239
debuted the Star Trek Motion Pictures. Here's what fans can expect.

1738
01:49:47.560 --> 01:49:51.640
Watch Paramount plus Pluto TV. They just delivered science picture

1739
01:49:51.720 --> 01:49:55.439
fans the ultimate gift. The Star Trek Motion Picture Channel

1740
01:49:55.479 --> 01:50:01.039
launched on March first, with all thirteen theatrical films free,

1741
01:50:01.279 --> 01:50:04.359
from the original series Crew through the Next Generation to

1742
01:50:04.399 --> 01:50:09.840
the Kelvin Timeline reboots. Viewers get complete access with no paywall.

1743
01:50:10.239 --> 01:50:13.600
William Shatner, Patrick Store, and The Modern Past all featured

1744
01:50:13.600 --> 01:50:18.920
in his massive collection. The channel runs on rotation throughout

1745
01:50:19.000 --> 01:50:22.560
March for a limited time access. The movie marks Photo

1746
01:50:22.640 --> 01:50:28.479
TV's aggressive expansion into premium content. Star Trek fans previously

1747
01:50:28.520 --> 01:50:32.520
needed pay subscriptions to access these films. Now corn cutters

1748
01:50:32.640 --> 01:50:35.840
enjoy iconic titles like Star Trek two, The Rack of

1749
01:50:35.960 --> 01:50:41.199
con First Contact, and Into Darkness without spending a dime.

1750
01:50:41.800 --> 01:50:45.439
Paramount clearly sees free television as a growth strategy for

1751
01:50:45.560 --> 01:50:50.760
attracting subscribers to the ecosystem. The real final front here

1752
01:50:51.079 --> 01:50:54.359
was the cinema. For a limited time watch all thirteen

1753
01:50:54.479 --> 01:50:58.319
theatrical Star Truk movies for free, all on one channel

1754
01:50:58.600 --> 01:51:02.720
from the original series Crew the Next Generation Crew. You

1755
01:51:02.800 --> 01:51:07.319
can boldly go where content has never gone before.

1756
01:51:08.479 --> 01:51:12.439
And that, my friends, wraps up the podcast Hard to Believe,

1757
01:51:13.520 --> 01:51:17.199
Hard to Believe, and go watch CLO TV. Why some

1758
01:51:17.279 --> 01:51:18.119
Star Trek movies.

1759
01:51:18.199 --> 01:51:22.079
They're all there, They're all waiting for you.

1760
01:51:22.199 --> 01:51:29.479
What can I say, Uncle Jim, if we have two minutes,

1761
01:51:29.520 --> 01:51:32.479
I'd just like to add a story really quickly. Okay,

1762
01:51:33.079 --> 01:51:35.560
our fans, just real quick and I'll be out. But

1763
01:51:35.800 --> 01:51:37.800
this is pending stuff, and I think everyone should maybe

1764
01:51:37.840 --> 01:51:40.720
get excited. I don't know if it's been like over

1765
01:51:40.760 --> 01:51:44.560
twenty four years, right, but the people have been loving

1766
01:51:44.760 --> 01:51:48.920
the cult fire TV science fiction show Firefly for almost

1767
01:51:48.920 --> 01:51:50.560
a quarter of a century. Right. It's been off the

1768
01:51:50.560 --> 01:51:52.720
air for a long time. There's been a lot of

1769
01:51:52.800 --> 01:51:55.640
April Fool's jokes in the past about will it come back?

1770
01:51:55.720 --> 01:51:59.560
Will there be a Firefly reunion? Will it be a reboot? Well,

1771
01:52:00.039 --> 01:52:03.600
series star Nathan Fillion has been going around doing a

1772
01:52:03.640 --> 01:52:07.279
series of shorts where he goes to various people's who

1773
01:52:07.319 --> 01:52:09.840
were on the show and knocks on their door and

1774
01:52:10.119 --> 01:52:14.479
basically says, you want to come and do something with me,

1775
01:52:14.640 --> 01:52:16.960
And he's done it to just about every living cast

1776
01:52:17.079 --> 01:52:23.239
member of the show, right and the last video he

1777
01:52:23.279 --> 01:52:25.720
did it says there's going to be an announcement of

1778
01:52:25.760 --> 01:52:29.079
some kind with all of the Firefly actors together at

1779
01:52:29.119 --> 01:52:34.840
Awesome Con in DC, this coming Sunday, March fifteenth. So

1780
01:52:35.000 --> 01:52:36.239
I don't know what it is. I don't know if

1781
01:52:36.279 --> 01:52:39.000
it's a reboot, if it's a you know, it could

1782
01:52:39.000 --> 01:52:41.279
be anything. But there's been a lot of build up

1783
01:52:41.319 --> 01:52:45.239
on this and it is billion and all the Firefly actors.

1784
01:52:45.439 --> 01:52:47.359
Has anyone else been seeing this or am I.

1785
01:52:47.319 --> 01:52:47.680
The old Oh?

1786
01:52:47.760 --> 01:52:52.720
Yeah, no, noo, yeah yeah. And I mean I know

1787
01:52:52.880 --> 01:52:56.840
for sure that he's got Alan Tudic involved and Adam

1788
01:52:56.880 --> 01:53:00.039
Baldwin involved in whatever.

1789
01:53:00.159 --> 01:53:01.319
Tores all of them.

1790
01:53:01.399 --> 01:53:04.159
Yeah, he's he's confirmed that it's not for like a

1791
01:53:04.199 --> 01:53:09.079
podcast or you know, any like week we guess stuff

1792
01:53:09.079 --> 01:53:09.439
like that.

1793
01:53:09.760 --> 01:53:11.279
So it's it.

1794
01:53:13.199 --> 01:53:18.560
Yeah, I don't know what it is, but I'm just saying,

1795
01:53:18.680 --> 01:53:22.039
I mean, anything involving New Firefly that would involve the

1796
01:53:22.039 --> 01:53:26.319
original past would be something spectacular. I'm very excited to

1797
01:53:26.359 --> 01:53:29.000
find out what this is. So, I mean sci fi fans.

1798
01:53:29.119 --> 01:53:32.199
I'm hoping folks out there know what Firefly is, and

1799
01:53:32.199 --> 01:53:34.520
that I mean out here in Portland, Oregon. It's kind

1800
01:53:34.520 --> 01:53:36.920
of like a weird ground central for Firefly fans. I

1801
01:53:36.960 --> 01:53:39.159
mean that they have Brown Coke conventions and we're like

1802
01:53:39.399 --> 01:53:41.479
really steeped in it out here. But I don't know

1803
01:53:41.479 --> 01:53:43.760
if everyone else has seen this or the follow up movie,

1804
01:53:43.800 --> 01:53:46.920
Serenity that they did, but it's great sci fi and

1805
01:53:46.960 --> 01:53:49.800
it's full of heart and action and laughs and it's

1806
01:53:49.840 --> 01:53:52.399
just really good stuff. If we're getting more of this,

1807
01:53:52.399 --> 01:53:54.439
this is fantastic. But I just wanted to make sure

1808
01:53:54.520 --> 01:53:57.920
to mention this in advance of Sunday's announcement, so folks

1809
01:53:57.960 --> 01:54:00.840
can be keeping their ears open and we'll talk about

1810
01:54:00.880 --> 01:54:03.159
what it really is next week. So thanks. I just

1811
01:54:03.159 --> 01:54:04.000
want to squeeze at.

1812
01:54:03.920 --> 01:54:08.039
It, and if they do do another Firefly, we'll definitely

1813
01:54:08.079 --> 01:54:12.000
have to review it on this podcast if you guys

1814
01:54:12.000 --> 01:54:12.359
want to.

1815
01:54:12.760 --> 01:54:15.159
Oh, it's such a great show. It's such a great show.

1816
01:54:16.319 --> 01:54:19.880
Absolutely, well, guys, have some up our show. Next week.

1817
01:54:19.880 --> 01:54:22.479
We're going to be talking about the Jonathan Breaks directed

1818
01:54:22.560 --> 01:54:26.720
episode The three hundredth Night, which is part one of

1819
01:54:26.760 --> 01:54:30.600
the Cliffhanger, which was on last week, so you want

1820
01:54:30.640 --> 01:54:33.199
to tune in for that, and I'm your most excellent

1821
01:54:33.199 --> 01:54:34.920
host Uncle Jim, and I want to say thank you

1822
01:54:34.960 --> 01:54:37.840

people will be there, but ostensibly I'm going to be
