pass on host, Uncle Jim. Welcome to the podcast, and

25
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.200
I want to go around and say hello to all

26
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.840
of my awesome trucks. First, before we go too far,

27
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.280
and let's start out in Portland and say hello to

28
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:07.719
Eric hya doing tonight there.

29
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.599
I am doing pretty good. I just noticed that our

30
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.840
system booted off my good friend Paul. I'm not sure

31
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.439
what's going on there, but I personally am doing pretty well.

32
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.960
We're in the midst of some very nice spring weather here.

33
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.319
I've been walking outside my t shirt dog playing with

34
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.759
other dogs, so it's been it's been pretty cool, having

35
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.599
a good time. And next week is spring break, so

36
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.280
I will actually be on vacation. I'm gonna be up

37
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.120
in the northeast part of the country. Oh my gosh,

38
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:44.479
and there Charles. Anyway, that's my big plan for next week.

39
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.280
So I'll still I'll still be on the show next week,

40
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.879
but I'll be broadcasting from some city in the northeast.

41
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.960
It's where it was cold and crappy and snowing.

42
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.120
Perhaps perhaps, Yeah, all.

43
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.879
Right, So sticking with Portland, let's say hello to David.

44
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.159
How you're doing tonight, David?

45
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.360
But it good. But now I'm all and over that

46
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:04.520
I might get booted off here.

47
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:10.120
But you have your moldy cheese and water.

48
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.199
Yeah, my homemade water and Mortar Trees is in the fridge.

49
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.800
Okay, so you're not going to get booted.

50
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:23.599
Okay, all right, I'm sticking with our Portland thing because

51
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.360
right now that's the only thing we have.

52
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.680
We want to say Hello, Hello, Paul, you know Uncle Jim.

53
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.639
I'm doing good. This is a weird time, I'll tell you,

54
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.840
because a lot of darkness in the background of life

55
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.360
these days, a lot of crazy stuff to be overwhelming,

56
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.800
and as often happens, I feel like the movies kind

57
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.680
of saved me this week. Got to see some really

58
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.280
great new upcoming movie trailers for things to look forward

59
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.120
to later in the year, which kind of makes you

60
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.960
feel like maybe there will see still be some normal eventually.

61
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.680
Got to see Dune three trailer which looks mind numbingly good,

62
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.520
and Spider Man Brand New Day. Both of them looked

63
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:09.039
just phenomenal and really upbeat. So when I was kind

64
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.199
of in a dark place this week, as many folks

65
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.080
might relate to, I found that there was a little

66
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.759
bit of hope thanks to Hollywood. So grateful for that.

67
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.720
Excited to talk about tonight's episode.

68
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.879
Yeah, we don't have any Star Trek to watch tonight, unfortunate,

69
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.199
but we have Trek talking, so that's good, and we

70
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.319
want to say hello to No, we don't.

71
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.439
I guess he was here for a second.

72
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:36.399
Yeah, I don't know what's going on.

73
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:39.399
Right Okay.

74
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.319
While we're waiting for Charles to come back, I want

75
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.519

which was directed by Jonathan Frights himself, who takes Frights.

79
00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:00.480
That is part one of the two part cliffhanger. That

80
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.279
might not be the right word, but at any rate,

81
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.439

is from England, specifically London, and I will tell you

213
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.720
London is one of my favorite places on the planet.

214
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:25.240
Love that place. And last, but not least, on Paul's list,

215
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:30.879
we've got Elaine at Poulier, who is from guest Basey.

216
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:31.960
Guess Base.

217
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:33.000
I did not that.

218
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:34.559
I had to do a quick pivot, so I'm not

219
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.159
even really sure where that is. I should search that

220
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:41.759
real quick. That sounds like a city, and my Google

221
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.879
is telling me that that is the gas Basey Peninsula

222
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:49.039
along the shores of the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada.

223
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:49.799
So there you go.

224
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.279
Sorry, I didn't have that on hand, Elaine, but I'm

225
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.080
going to look up more about where you live because

226
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.960
it looks very interesting and I do love that part

227
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.519
of North America. Jim, let's bring it back state side

228
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.000
and bring it back to I believe your favorite state.

229
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:04.159
I don't know, is it.

230
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:13.000
Absolutely? Thank you so much, Paul, I mean Eric. Hopefully

231
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:14.559
Paul will be back man.

232
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.159
This weather is causing all kinds of problems here tonight

233
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:20.480
with everybody's internet, but we're going to forge ahead, guys.

234
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:23.039
So I want to say hello and thank you to

235
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.720
Vincent Ruez, who says I'm from.

237
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:31.600

238
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.799

243
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.480
band shout outs for this week for those of you

244
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.440
who happen to have a Facebook subscription, which is only

245
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.879
ninety nine cents for the whole month, which breaks down

246
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.120
to a quarter of per episode. I mean that's cheaper

247
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.759
than a cup of coffee, a lot cheaper than a

248
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:11.159
couple of coffee. And if you do become a subscriber,

249
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.919

and uh now we're going to dive into some cadet

266
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.039
training with Charles and this is where he fills you

267
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:07.480
in on.

268
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.879
Episodes that are relevant to this week's episode. So take

269
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:11.759
it away with Charles.

270
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.799
Okay, thank you and called Jim. Was a little bit

271
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.720
trying to come up a different things this episode, but

272
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:24.600
I went through looking at a few ideas. DNG The

273
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:33.919
Bonding Season three, episode five, The Rizia i cling On's

274
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:40.200
Rusty Rizti was a Klingon ritual of bonding in which

275
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.639
two Klingons are joined together to come brothers, which is

276
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.080
the same ceremony we see in this episode in three

277
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:55.440
hundred Nights Discovery. This is a little flip in here,

278
00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:59.519
but when they were on the charts and they mentioned

279
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:03.639
the v Navar. I was like, that sounds very familiar,

280
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:09.840
and I looked it up. It's like ah, Discovery Unification three,

281
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:16.559
Season three, episode seven, Navar formally known as Vulcan till

282
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:20.960
after the Burn. So this was the new planet, new

283
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.120
name of the planet after the Burn, which is why

284
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:29.879
it sounded familiar. When we got into the shuttle landing,

285
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:33.399
I said, I am not even going to try looking

286
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.720
that up because that's too many different episodes that you

287
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:43.120
could hit with people trying to land shuttles. And then

288
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:48.320
I looked at the city they went down to and

289
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.200
two things kind of got reminded me of Pericard Start

290
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:58.960
Us RAG season one, episode five, and the episode seventeen

291
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:06.480
second season three, episode three, and of course Jim from

292
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:09.519
seventeen seconds. Jim always loves one of the quotes from

293
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:15.400
that movie, which was the beheadings are on Wednesday. But

294
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.759
that's kind of reminded me of what this city look like.

295
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:24.039
It's those from those couple of those episodes. And then

296
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:28.920
there was an interesting one in here Discovery Red Directive

297
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.839
and Under the Twin Moon season five, episodes one and two.

298
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:42.440
In there they had a planet a Kumal. It was

299
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:47.160
a large settlement frequently by couriers. The residents uses sand

300
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:53.799
runners to travel the planet's desert terrain in which and

301
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:59.039
why am I using that reference? Well, that's because our

302
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:04.680
captain decided to Paul Aquamal, so that's actually referencing this planet.

303
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:08.000
But that's taking a ship close to the surface bypassing

304
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:13.359
its natural field, and that is what I picked up

305
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:20.480
from this episode. So I think Paul would love to

306
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:21.720
discuss this episode.

307
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.319
Thank you, Charles. Well, this is the part of the show,

308
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.160
folks where we typically kind of frame things up for

309
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.359
our discussion with a brief recap and summary of what

310
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.839
happened in this episode. And as we mentioned earlier on,

311
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:42.799
this is a episode called the three hundredth Night. This

312
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:47.039
is the penultimate episode of this first season of Starfleet Academy.

313
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.880
Things begin. Three hundred to Night is a big celebration.

314
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.039
The USS Athena is traveling debates ed the new seat

315
00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.839
of the Federation government, and as Charles already mentioned, jad

316
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:05.599
En and Dreima are performing the USA Klingon bonding ritual

317
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:09.079
kind of the years wrapping up, right, so they're kind

318
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:13.720
of solidifying their family bond. Meanwhile, what does that sound?

319
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.960
Is it an unmuted sound? Is it like traffic? I

320
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:26.440
don't know what that was. Meanwhile, yeah, it was distracting. Meanwhile,

321
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.359
Caleb has made it discovered with Sam right where he's

322
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:35.440
finally cracked this old encryption and discovered years and years

323
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.960
of hidden messages from his mother Anishamir, of course, to

324
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:43.279
be prolayed by Tatiana Maslani, and she is hiding out

325
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:47.680
on this you know, kind of trader's market on the

326
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:51.640
planet Ukek, which is supposedly about to be annexed by

327
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:56.599
the Venaria Ral. He is unable to get any help

328
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.319
due to this federation wide lockdown. So what do you

329
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:02.880
do when start, when you can't do the stuff that

330
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.359
is getting in your way and you don't seem to

331
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:09.839
have any other options. You steal a starship? God damn it,

332
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.640
because that's what always we've learned in these last two

333
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:15.559
or three iterations of the franchise. You just steal something.

334
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.720
So Caleb steals a shovel to go rescue his mom,

335
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.960
and he is joined by Sam, somewhat intoxicated drem and

336
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.599
Genesis Lithe, who basically is kidnapped by Sam to keep

337
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.319
her from reporting on them is what I took away.

338
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.640
So they're on their way to try to find Caleb's mom,

339
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.039
who they've finally got in contact with. Meanwhile, Admiral Vance

340
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:42.200
informs ana Ake that noose Braka has stolen these Omega

341
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:47.039
forty seven molecules, this synthetic, highly destructive varigant of the

342
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:50.440
Omega molecule that I believe we learned about in Voyager

343
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:53.720
on an episode called the Omega Directive. If I'm not mistaken,

344
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:58.359
I'm sure that Eric will correct me. But I believe

345
00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:58.960
that's correct.

346
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:00.680
I know that Les correct Yes.

347
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:01.079
Ye.

348
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:04.160
Why wasn't that in cadet training? Then that's my question

349
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.960
to you, sir, it's kind of training has any importance.

350
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:13.920
Why aren't we mentioning electives origins? I'd like to know, Charles,

351
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.440
if you have time. Sorry, thank you so much. Anyhow,

352
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:23.279
let me continue. Caleb reunites with his mom in the

353
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:27.000
crazy black Market market, but the group is soon discovered

354
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:31.039
by Venari raw soldiers. Oh no, and there's a firefight

355
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:35.440
and lots of things, and Anisia is shot. Oh dear uh.

356
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:39.440
Chancellor Oke defies orders, though, and she brings the Athena

357
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:43.160
into the planet's atmosphere. As Charles intimated to beam them

358
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:46.920
up just as they're about to be captured. Suspenseful as

359
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.400
we're coming to the end here. So they escaped of

360
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.880
anari ral ambush. Right but Chancellor, OK, because we always

361
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.119
love a good separation, right short, is an emergency saucerge separation?

362
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.279
Try to say that ten times fast after you've been

363
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.079
drinking some romulan ale, if you will. Emergency saucer separation,

364
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:06.400
mers episode?

365
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:06.680
Is it?

366
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:07.319
So?

367
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:10.559
Anyhow, they leave the ships and the cells and Atrium

368
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:14.720
in the enemy's hands, right, So the episode ends with

369
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.799
the Athenas saucer section hiding out in the nebula and noose.

370
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:23.440
Braka is successfully walled off the entire Federation with minds

371
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:29.440
containing this omega particle right inside sick Bay. Anisha wakes

372
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:31.519
up to find who is she face to face with

373
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:35.720
her sort of mortal enemy, Chancellor Ake, the woman who

374
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:38.519
originally sentenced her son to her to prison and separated

375
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:42.720
her from Caleb twenty years ago. And that's I think

376
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:44.440
enough of a recap to kind of set the stage

377
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.359
for where we're at, Season one, episode nine, three hundred

378
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:50.680
a night, and I'm happy to chime in with score

379
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.720
and more thoughts of this episode later, but you've heard

380
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:57.319
enough of me talking. My good friend Eric is now

381
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:01.119
going to let us into the Corpus Colossum. The twin

382
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:05.200
Hemisphere veil of what our fans in the audience thought

383
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:07.920
of this episode, Eric, did they like it? What do

384
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:08.319
you think?

385
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:09.720
Well?

386
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:13.359
Is there really a place better than the Corpus Colossum?

387
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:15.839
Of our fans? And I would say no. In fact,

388
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.279
Ariel Gardner contributed and said they gave it an eight.

389
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.279
I really like this show. The problem with young'in's is

390
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.000
the fact that they make all the wrong decisions, and

391
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.880
you know they are It would be nice if Caleb

392
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:30.720
would make the better choice once in a while. Just

393
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.640
a thought. Kids don't always make the obvious choice. Thanks Ariel.

394
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:39.000
Milan Vorstak said ten. What a great episode. I could

395
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:42.799
feel the drama well acted and the visuals were great too,

396
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:46.720
very entertaining, had a Star Wars feel on the alien market.

397
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:50.279
Leah Ray gave it a ten. It has everything. It

398
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.960
answered questions, high emotions, humor, great sets and costumes, fights,

399
00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:56.960
leaves us loving the characters and loving the characters even more.

400
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:02.319
Thank you Jonathan Franks for another directorial yet Janine Goodson

401
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:05.599
Hensley gave it an eleven great nail bier. Of course

402
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:07.640
we have to average that down to a ten, Janine,

403
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:10.440
but thank you so much for your enthusiasm. Paul David

404
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:12.720
gave it an eight. Well done and very interesting to

405
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:16.240
see Caleb and Anisia reuniting in the first season. I

406
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:19.799
expected it to be in season two. Mm hmm, yeah,

407
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.839
I think I agree there, Paul. Top fan Gabora Mestian

408
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:28.799
said nine because I hate to be continued. I think

409
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.799
the ideas there that it would have been a ten. Otherwise,

410
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:37.079
Michelle Sparrow nine or ten with some cute emojis hell

411
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:39.160
of a cliffhanger. I think we'll take the nine, Michelle,

412
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:41.119
just to make sure that you can save that ten

413
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:44.079
for what I hope is going to be an amazing finale,

414
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:48.200
but I haven't seen it yet. Susan Easto said. Tatiana

415
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:53.359
Mazlani elevates everything she is in, so a nine. Top

416
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:56.000
fan Hailey Quinn said a nice nine out of ten,

417
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.279
and John w Allen said this one was an easy

418
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:01.839
seven for me. It had a bunch of great moments,

419
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:04.519
but it does feel like a penultimate episode. The first

420
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:07.079
part of a two part episode. That's not a bad thing.

421
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:09.599
It's just something I could feel. Still fun to watch,

422
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:13.519
and I can't wait to see the season finale next week.

423
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.160
This gives us apparently an aggregated fan score this week

424
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:20.440
of nine point zero, which I think is the second

425
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.640
highest after last week's episode, which was the highest that

426
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:28.440
we had logged. So people are really digging the end

427
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:33.880
of Starfleet Academy's season one here. So I, you know,

428
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:39.000
is that warranted? Perhaps the Trexperts should render our own opinions,

429
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:39.759
don't you think, Jim?

430
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:47.400
I absolutely agree. I concur so a Les, Charles, would

431
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:48.480
you like to get us started?

432
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:54.759
Okay? Maybe not.

433
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.680
Or on myself because Jim could sit there and or

434
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.799
Jim gets say, Charles, take my turn your mic on

435
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:11.480
because I left my mic off on it okay. I

436
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.279
didn't get a chance to write notes because as they

437
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:17.920
didn't get to mention, I'm on spring break this week,

438
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.559
and so I didn't get to the episode. Rewatched till

439
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:25.640
today for notes. Sorry Paul from missing that one note.

440
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:28.480
I was busy looking for other things, so I missed

441
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:34.599
the Omega one At the be gend of the episode,

442
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:39.440
I thought this was running a little slow, how they're

443
00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:46.519
doing this ceremony, nice ceremony they're putting together with Caleb

444
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:54.920
and Jay just walking away from it, and I thought

445
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:58.880
that was a little bit off putting. It was an

446
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:04.559
interesting interaction with with he and Tamara and the elevator.

447
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:09.799
So the beginning was a little bit slow and I

448
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:11.680
think was a little bit off putting with the way

449
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:16.839
he acted. But as he got to.

450
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:19.839
His room.

451
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:23.880
And Sam helping him trying to figure out what that

452
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:27.880
key was that he never could figure out, the episode

453
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:32.400
is starting to get a little better. Okay, we found mom. Okay,

454
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:35.960
Mom's out there. He's got an idea where where she is.

455
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.799
It's going to take quite a while to communicate with her,

456
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:44.720
and with a situation going on, that may not be

457
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:51.400
easy to do, so let's go find her. So he

458
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:54.880
kind of goes and try to say his goodbyes to

459
00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:03.480
people and hijack a shuttle. Now I agree with Sam

460
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.960
in the point that, yeah, try escaping a ship that's

461
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:14.119
in warp and escaping the warp bubble. I'm not sure

462
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:16.720
if that's been done too many times, because I know

463
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.079
you should bring a ship out of warp before sending

464
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:27.240
a shuttle off. So I'm not sure if that's actually

465
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:31.400
been attempted before or not, but that was interesting to

466
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:34.839
set the harmonics of not getting yourself destroyed by going

467
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:43.079
through that bubble. So we end up with several of

468
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:47.400
the friends on board the shuttle with a couple of

469
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:52.400
people missing, and off they go trying to find mom.

470
00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:57.799
As I said, the city reminded me a lot of

471
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:05.240
rag City, and when we found wharf I could throw

472
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:11.240
in section thirty one. We get this grungy looking area

473
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:16.640
that's outside of Federation space, which is definitely an interesting

474
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:24.400
US part of where we visit. We get through some

475
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:30.799
rough issues with here. I warn't welcome a little bit

476
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:37.759
of hostility, and the station's getting taken over. The station,

477
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:42.839
the planet's getting taken over. Okay, we're gonna have to

478
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:43.359
deal with this.

479
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:46.480
We get.

480
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:52.519
They try to escape to get caught. That brings Caleb

481
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:57.079
back to his friends, knowing he can't leave them to

482
00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:05.640
be sacrificed, and after almost getting caught, does a incredil

483
00:30:05.640 --> 00:30:09.920
little plan I like of somebody's off here selling uh,

484
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:17.240
selling off communication back communication Delta's starfleet deltas like this one.

485
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:21.240
He holds up and holds up in the air, and

486
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:24.880
I thought that was an interesting way of doing it,

487
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.799
and the distraction of course, the cat. Of course, the

488
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.319
ship comes in. They find the only way they can

489
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:37.359
do it is to actually break into orbit within in

490
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:44.160
the in the into the stratosphere of the planet and

491
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:51.200
come in and rescue. And we find out from the rescue.

492
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:52.279
That it's.

493
00:30:53.839 --> 00:31:02.799
A bigger issue than they thought and a cliffhanger. I

494
00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:06.920
know Jim Will mentioned this, but definitely Reno does a

495
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.880
good job on the bridge this time. I love that

496
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:17.279
character up there. But for this episode, I think I'm

497
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:21.119
gonna go agreeing with the fans with a little bit

498
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.720
the opener could have used a little bit of help.

499
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.400
I'm going to go with them, agree with a nine.

500
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:36.160
All right, not respectable, respectable. Let's let's see what Moldy

501
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:38.119
Cheese and the Water has to say.

502
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:44.759
David Well previously on Last Talk Talking episode, I have

503
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:47.920
to give the last episode of two. So that's my score?

504
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:52.920
Wait, are you serious? The one that everybody gave a ten?

505
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:53.640
You gave it a two?

506
00:31:54.400 --> 00:32:00.480
Yep, we predicted that was gonna happen, right guys, there

507
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:00.680
we go.

508
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:06.839
Yeah, So for this particular episode, it did take me

509
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:10.079
a little while to get into it because last week's

510
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.839
episode or I guess two weeks ago. Wait, pretty bad.

511
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:18.640
But I started getting into it the moment they started

512
00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:20.599
to bream down to the planet. It started getting a

513
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:25.599
little bit more Star Trek vibe, and uh, from that

514
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:27.200
point on, it was just kind of like.

515
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:29.240
Yeah, pretty good, pretty good.

516
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:33.680
And then from that all the way to the end, though,

517
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:40.759
it was just for some odd reason, I'm like, wait

518
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:45.000
a minute, how did he mind the entire Federation border?

519
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:47.680
That doesn't make sense to me? And I'm like, it's

520
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.599
gotta be hundreds of thousands, or maybe not thousands, but

521
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:55.599
hundreds of light years for sure, and the rolley Roll

522
00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:59.200
or Venario all got to be a pretty big empire

523
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:03.160
to produce that many minds, and on top of that,

524
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.119
at the same time mine the entire border. To me,

525
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:11.960
I was just like, that doesn't make sense, but yeah,

526
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:14.519
I don't know. And the entire time, for some reason,

527
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:16.720
Galaxy Quest kept coming into my head for like the

528
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:20.400
Omega thirteen particle of like, yeah, they talked about the

529
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:24.119
Omega's particles and Star Trek before and the idea that

530
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:27.720
seven of nine was like saying that she could contain

531
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:30.599
it and everything like that. So I was like, Okay,

532
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:32.400
it's pretty cool. But at the same time, it was

533
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:36.359
just like it was just I don't know, the ending

534
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:38.400
of that episode just kind of ruined it for me.

535
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:40.960
I was just like that part right there to kick

536
00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:44.119
me out. I did not like that story plot of

537
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:47.200
mining the entire federation. It was just like, oh man,

538
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:50.039
it's gotta be really weird writing or something. I don't

539
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:53.119
know who came up with that, but yeah, I did

540
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:56.720
not like that at all. And so to me, this

541
00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:00.519
particular episode to me was I do have to agree

542
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:03.519
with Charles was a little slow. Probably it took me

543
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:09.320
a while to get into it, but I did not. Yeah,

544
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:15.360
I'm gonna have to probably give that episode last week's episode.

545
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.400
I guess I can't remember when it came out, but

546
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:21.559
I'm gonna have to give that episode, uh a five.

547
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:22.159
I think.

548
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:25.599
Yeah, it was just a little too slow in the

549
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:26.360
writing at the end.

550
00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:27.639
I just did not.

551
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:30.440
It really took me out. I was like, Okay, that's

552
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:32.400
just weird, but yeah, five for me.

553
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.719
All right, so we got a nine, we got a five,

554
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:39.440
and we got an eric.

555
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:45.760
All right, let's see. I will say I did like

556
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:50.079
the opening scene with Jaden quite a bit. It was

557
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:52.239
kind of a cool moment where Jaden is, you know,

558
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:55.480
opening himself up to his friends that he's made here

559
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:59.199
at school. He's like sharing a cultural thing with them,

560
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:03.280
and to have Caleb kind of uh reject that really

561
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:07.199
shows you how far into his own thing Caleb has gotten.

562
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:09.840
And I like that they showed that because I think

563
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:15.480
his character sometimes has gotten sidetracked by his relationship with Tarima,

564
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:19.519
but essentially, at his core, it's always been about his mom, right,

565
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:23.519
And I think that this episode really ends up highlighting that.

566
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:26.519
I still don't understand how Jaden's teeth are so amazing.

567
00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:29.079
I guess he's always had really good goch his whole

568
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:31.760
life or something, but like, he's got the cleanest teeth

569
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:39.199
of any any cling on I've ever seen. It's got

570
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:40.719
it's gotta be, it's gotta be.

571
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:44.599
So uh.

572
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:46.800
You know, when they first brought up the Omega molecule,

573
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:48.639
I was like, oh my gosh, we're back to the

574
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:53.480
like I immediately remembered Omega directive and like Seven's whole

575
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:55.760
like fascination with the molecule and how it's supposed to

576
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:58.400
be like perfect. You know, the board considered it like

577
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:02.920
a perfect thing. This of course they like came adjacent

578
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:04.719
to it a little bit by calling it a synthetic

579
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:09.400
version that Omega forty seven. But they were able to,

580
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:13.440
I think, effectively use this kind of like galactic peril,

581
00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:16.280
which I sometimes I complain about galactic peril and how

582
00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:18.360
much of it there is in Star Trek these days,

583
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:22.440
particularly throughout the end of Discovery and that kind of stuff.

584
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:27.400
But in this case, it was galactic peril that a

585
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:31.400
struggling and by the way, very small federation and I'll

586
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:33.440
come back to a point that David made in that regard,

587
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:38.599
but a very small federation developed this like incredibly deadly

588
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:42.920
weapon and then couldn't even keep it contained from some pirates, right,

589
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.320
like they deserved to have it stolen from them. And

590
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:49.559
this creates galactic peril that is a reflection of the

591
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:52.800
people who are now in danger. It's akin to like

592
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:55.920
us creating a bunch of weapons and then selling those

593
00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:58.400
weapons to people who then shoot those weapons at us, right,

594
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:02.440
which happens like in the real world quite a bit.

595
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:05.079
So I thought that was a really cool little bit

596
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:09.719
of storytelling there, And you know, it was kind of

597
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:13.320
cool that we never actually see in Newsbraka the whole episode.

598
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.400
He's not actually in this episode. His name is just

599
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:19.000
kind of flung about, and I thought that actually worked

600
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:25.280
pretty well character wise. I really like Sam's journey that

601
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:28.400
she's on right now. You know, we talked a little

602
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.079
bit last week about how we're getting a little bit

603
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:32.199
of a different kind of Sam. We get even more

604
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:37.679
different Sam here, who is doing things way differently and

605
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:42.000
less naively. She does say one thing that kind of

606
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:45.679
bugged me just a little bit. So she says something

607
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:48.840
like I've never done anything I wasn't programmed to do

608
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.960
or something like that. And she said that, but she

609
00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:56.519
says it after having experienced an entire lifetime with the

610
00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:59.440
Doctor right as of last episode or a couple of

611
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:03.280
episodes ago. So so I get the like sentiment, this

612
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:05.519
is her first like real branching out, but just like,

613
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:08.639
they could have been a little less clumsy with the

614
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:12.880
way they brought that into the story because obviously, you know,

615
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.280
the Doctor didn't make her only do things that she

616
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:18.039
was programmed to do during the seventeen years that they

617
00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:24.519
lived together. Right, Okay, So anyway, enough about Sam the

618
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:29.719
other character stuff. You know, we get this guy right here,

619
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.400
what's his name, Darren. I don't know why they made

620
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:38.320
him barf Glitter several episodes ago. Now he's still barks Glitter,

621
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:39.880
and now it's starting to bug me just a little bit.

622
00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:41.280
They should just drop that bit.

623
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:41.800
I don't.

624
00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:46.000
I don't think it's funny, but it felt a little

625
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:48.440
kind of weird to me too. How all the characters

626
00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:50.159
came together on the ship, right, it was like, these

627
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:51.679
three were going to steal the ship and then oh,

628
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.079
perchance this one shows up, and perchance this one shows up,

629
00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:55.920
and perchance this one shows up. It was a little

630
00:38:56.039 --> 00:39:00.320
kind of like contrived, I'll say, getting everybody there. But

631
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:03.159
that's okay because they get on the ship. They get

632
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:06.519
to the cool like blade Runner planet and they find

633
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:10.440
Tachiata Maslani, who's amazing. And I thought the scenes between

634
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:15.920
Caleb and his mom were really really beautiful. You could

635
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:20.119
kind of like feel the fact that they hadn't seen

636
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.639
each other in like twenty years. I thought both actors

637
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.559
just did a fantastic job kind of playing that out.

638
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:32.480
The rescue off the place. So now they're on the planet,

639
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:34.199
they find the mom. They got to get rescued off

640
00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:37.320
the planet. They do the Athena rescue and right, this

641
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:41.400
is like oke Apparently dumping all the cadets off somewhere

642
00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:45.599
else and then taking the big bad ass to like

643
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:50.400
school flying school across the border to do a rescue.

644
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:53.159
What it got me thinking, you know what they need

645
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:58.719
The Athena needs a defiant. They need a ship that

646
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:01.639
they can go out and do like missions on that

647
00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:04.280
holds like twenty twenty five people, so they don't have

648
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:08.639
to take the flying School everywhere they go. So I

649
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.679
don't know, Season two, maybe writers give us, give us

650
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:16.440
a defiant because now half of the Athena is in

651
00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:18.719
the hands of the pirates, right the saucer got away,

652
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:20.840
which I'm always up for good saucer separation.

653
00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:21.480
I like that.

654
00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:26.880
But the probably the best scene in the whole episode

655
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:29.079
was that very last one that Paul described during his

656
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:32.480
during his recap, which is the one that's kind of

657
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:35.760
in slow mo. Ake walks into the room and Caleb's

658
00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:39.519
mom sees her and sees the woman who you know,

659
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:44.199
essentially separated her from her child, and it appears so

660
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:48.239
far in her interactions with her child after, especially after

661
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:50.880
she found out all her all his friends were Starfleet,

662
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.280
that she's not really comfortable with that, right, So I

663
00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:56.440
expect to see some fallout from that at the beginning

664
00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:58.480
of the final episode, and I am excited to see

665
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:01.800
how that works. So, David, just relative to your point, remember,

666
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:04.679
the Federation is really really small, so I and the

667
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:09.480
Venari rawl appeared to be like a really powerful entity

668
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:11.320
right now. I think what we lack is like one

669
00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:13.440
of those maps that kind of shows like who's controlling

670
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:16.480
what right now. But remember in Star Trek Discovery, the

671
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:20.000
Federation was literally like the little warp bubble right like,

672
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:22.239
it was like that's all they were in. They were

673
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:24.880
in like this light. They had no other planets. So

674
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:27.920
the Federation is very very small at this time. They

675
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.760
now have Beta zed we now right, they have Earth

676
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:34.760
presumably maybe they've captured some of these other small planets

677
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.159
like Alpha Centauri and stuff. I don't really know exactly

678
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:39.000
how many planets are in the Federation right now, but

679
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:43.920
but it's not like where most of the Alpha Quadrant

680
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:45.559
is Federation at this point in history.

681
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:47.960
Oh yeah, no, I totally agree. I just thought still,

682
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:51.159
even in Star Trek Discovery, they talked a lot about

683
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:53.880
like what Pecid were joining, and they even had an

684
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:57.039
entire episode about a bunch of aliens in one room

685
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:00.960
in Star Trek Discovery where they were all joining and

686
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:03.719
signing the Federation charter and everything all over again. So

687
00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:06.440
it just seems like there was multiple alien races, and

688
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:08.599
we did actually did get to shield map of what

689
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:11.039
the kind of looked like with all the minds rounded.

690
00:42:11.159 --> 00:42:14.360
It was pretty pretty big, and it was like probably

691
00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:17.920
I'm assuming probably a good hundred planets if not more.

692
00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:23.079
But to me it's still basic big and to mine

693
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:26.760
entire wall in a three D perspective, that's just like huge.

694
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.480
Like okay, so I go, I can understand it, but

695
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:34.000
now I Wall were like a bigger portion of the Federation.

696
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:36.400
But at the same time that's got to take a

697
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:38.800
lot of I don't know. It just threw me out

698
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:41.519
and it was just like, oh wow, what So yeah,

699
00:42:41.639 --> 00:42:42.559
that's just my take on it.

700
00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:47.960
But all right, So my take on the episode is

701
00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:50.079
that I overall liked it. I don't think it was

702
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:53.199
the best episode this season, and I don't think it

703
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:55.400
was even second best this season, but I thought it

704
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.039
was decent and there were enough moments in it that

705
00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:01.440
I really liked that overall, I do want to watch

706
00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:06.800
it again. So seven eight, seven or eight, I guess

707
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:09.119
I will go ahead and go with an eight this week.

708
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:14.559
For this one, he could also be a seven. It

709
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:16.480
kind of feels like in between, but it's it's like

710
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:17.880
right right on the line for me.

711
00:43:18.519 --> 00:43:20.960
Yeah, seven nine, I think that.

712
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:25.800
I think that, uh, this is probably the weakest Freaks

713
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:29.719
episode that we've seen, in my opinion. Usually when he

714
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:33.199
does one, it's it's knocked out of the park hands down.

715
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:39.159
This one I felt was a weaker episode that he does.

716
00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:44.239
But jet Reno, the Jetster, Oh my god, she is incredible.

717
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:48.119
I'm so glad they brought her aboard because she just

718
00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:51.599
is incredible. She stole the show. There's the map that

719
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.800
uh David was talking about. She stole the show. I

720
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:59.360
thought jet Reno was incredible. Her and the doctor really

721
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:02.440
have a good are together, and I really enjoyed that. Now,

722
00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:06.360
let's talk about Jayden and the Rustai ceremony absolutely phenomenally.

723
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:12.960
Is that the ceremony that Wharf did with Pulaski Eric, Yeah,

724
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:15.480
I think that was the same one them. So I

725
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:18.480
really like the fact that that Jaden invited them into

726
00:44:18.679 --> 00:44:22.480
his Klingon family. I thought that was great and I

727
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:26.440
really really enjoyed that. So that was a huge plus.

728
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:30.159
And the thumbs up for me for that particular scene.

729
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:33.239
I thought it was well done, well acted, and just

730
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:36.679
a really good scene. The thing about this episode that

731
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:40.599
I really liked was the characters. They're they're starting to

732
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:44.079
bond and become a family, which we've been watching through

733
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:47.599
all the episodes, and we're starting to see the glue

734
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:51.000
starting to gel. It's coming together now and they're starting

735
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:58.880
to really become Starfleet. They're growing into their starfleet cowm badges.

736
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:04.440
You know, they're no longer a bunch of insulent kids

737
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.760
that are arguing and fighting and whatnot. They're they're finding

738
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:11.800
their footing, they're finding their places. They're getting comfortable with

739
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:18.719
their assigned duties, I guess is the word, and you

740
00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:21.519
can see that they're maturing. And I really really like

741
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:25.880
that a lot, because that's the endgame of season one

742
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:29.039
and they got there when you look at where they

743
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:32.519
started in episode one and where they are now and

744
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:37.639
you can see that progression, So kudos on that. On

745
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:40.760
the planet when they got captured, I thought Caleb was

746
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:45.400
being a real dickhead when he found his mother telling

747
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:47.840
them all off. He runs off to leave them behind

748
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:51.480
to be killed, and he was a real dink but

749
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:56.239
body had a change of heart and he came back

750
00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:59.960
with his mother and they saved him. Now, the scene

751
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:05.280
where brings the saucerge section in, did it not have

752
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:08.960
a Wrath of con vibe? My only one that got

753
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:11.639
that vibe when when the ship came When when the

754
00:46:11.719 --> 00:46:16.280
ship rises down through the steam of the atmosphere, did

755
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:19.800
that not have a nebula effect like when when the

756
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:22.519
Reliant shows up. At least that's what it reminded me.

757
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:26.519
I thought that was a really really cool, cool scene.

758
00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:29.400
I thought it was an homage to the Wrath of

759
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:31.159
con So I liked that.

760
00:46:33.199 --> 00:46:33.880
The ending.

761
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:37.840
The ending I promised, I've already watched the finale, and

762
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:39.880
I promised these guys I wouldn't go beyond that. So

763
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:43.320
I'm going to stop with this scene right here. When

764
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:46.840
jet Reno has has the saucer section at the edge

765
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:48.960
of the Federation and all we can see are the

766
00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:51.800
Red Minds and she's trying to call for help, and

767
00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:55.639
she's pleading for someone to answer her and nobody does.

768
00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:59.480
I thought, Wow, what a what a great way to

769
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:02.760
end this episode. I was so impressed with that that

770
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:06.840
they were all alone and by themselves. So yeah, I

771
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:11.400
enjoyed this one. It wasn't one of Freak's best episodes,

772
00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:15.679
but you know, seeing Caleb get back together with his

773
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:20.119
mother was something we've been waiting for and to see

774
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:22.840
that was cool. And you know, she didn't she didn't

775
00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:27.519
freak out and turn green and hulk out, so you know,

776
00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:29.360
for those of you who know who she is and

777
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:32.679
what characters she played, so I thought that was cool.

778
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:33.119
I was.

779
00:47:33.320 --> 00:47:35.920
I was joking. I was joking Jim that I kept

780
00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:38.519
waiting for all these copies of her to show up

781
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:45.079
with like different hairdutes and stuff. I was, I know,

782
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:49.559
we're mixing franchises there, but yeah, yeah, so I just

783
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:51.880
finished The Orphan Black like a month ago, so.

784
00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:54.679
Yeah, I.

785
00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:59.960
Her character, oh, I can't talk about that. Next week.

786
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:02.760
I'll talk more about her character. But overall, I did

787
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:05.519
enjoy I did enjoy the episode. It wasn't the strongest.

788
00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:05.800
Oh.

789
00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:09.840
I don't remember who said this, but my wife. I'm

790
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:13.119
watching my wife and she said the same thing. She says,

791
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:16.639
why is this like Star Wars? I was like, it's

792
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:17.440
not Star Wars.

793
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:18.559
They're on They're on this.

794
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:22.199
Planet and if anything, it reminded me of that planet

795
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:27.440
of the Klingon market where they were eating the space

796
00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:33.400
whales in Discovery. It reminded me of that marketplace a

797
00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:38.280
little bit. So not quite Star Wars, but I can

798
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:40.519
see where people would say that as far as.

799
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:41.800
The federation being mine.

800
00:48:41.960 --> 00:48:45.000
So I put a post up on the Facebook page

801
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:47.559
because a lot of the haters out there were bringing

802
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:51.880
that up about the two dimensional map, and I'm and

803
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:57.199
I'm thinking to myself, Star Trek has always.

804
00:48:56.880 --> 00:48:59.800
Been two dimensional. You remember the The.

805
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:04.079
Balance of Terror when they showed the Neutral Zone treaty

806
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:06.039
and it was a line on the map with some

807
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:09.000
triangles on it. The Neutral Zone is not a line,

808
00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:11.360
It's an entire area.

809
00:49:11.880 --> 00:49:12.599
Same thing with this.

810
00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:15.320
They were just using that map to show you that

811
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:18.719
there's a federation and here's the minds around it, when

812
00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:21.880
in reality it would be more like a sphere. The

813
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:26.239
minds would be spherical. Well, if they represented it as

814
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:28.199
a sphere, you wouldn't be able to see the federation

815
00:49:28.400 --> 00:49:31.480
inside the sphere. So you know, the fact that it

816
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:35.960
was a flat map didn't really bother me. What did

817
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:39.400
make me think was something that David had said. It's like,

818
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:43.000
how did they get all these minds in place and

819
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:45.960
nobody noticed? That's a lot of mind they had that

820
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:50.719
have a lot of ships, but that was miner It

821
00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:53.400
didn't really pull me out of the thing all that much.

822
00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:56.199
It was just something that made me go, ah, interesting.

823
00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:59.760
But overall, I think I'm gonna be. I think I'm

824
00:49:59.760 --> 00:50:00.239
going to be.

825
00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:03.639
Just because of.

826
00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:05.920
Jaden in his perfect teeth. I think I'm gonna go

827
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:08.880
with an eight. I think I'm going to go with

828
00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:12.800
an eight. And with that, I'm going to pass the.

829
00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:15.760
Microphone over to Paul and he's gonna tell us what

830
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:16.280
he thought.

831
00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:22.960
Okay, thanks, friends, appreciate it. Yeah, so I'm like you,

832
00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:25.400
uncle Jim. I expected a little bit more from Jonathan Brakes.

833
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:27.840
Wasn't so much the direction though, that I think suffered here.

834
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:31.400
I really think it was the writing. Subpar screenplay here.

835
00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:35.039
Not a great episode, not extremely well written. I think

836
00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:36.760
they're trying to do a lot of different things and

837
00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:40.280
really suffered from that penultimate tea up episode where were

838
00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:41.760
trying to put a lot of things in place to

839
00:50:42.119 --> 00:50:45.519
service the next episode right, and it's just there. We

840
00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:47.880
was a lot of cliche elements here that I've just

841
00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:51.440
that I've seen before and didn't strike me as being

842
00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:57.360
particularly definitely handled. I think the the whole I've got

843
00:50:57.440 --> 00:50:59.760
to steal a ship to go save my mom thing,

844
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:02.280
the stealing of a ship thing, and there's never any

845
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:05.199
consequences for it. It's just we have done that. That is,

846
00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:08.079
you know, if there's a hallmark of the last like

847
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:10.079
five years of Star Trek, that's one of the things

848
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:13.079
we just constantly see again and again and again. That

849
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:17.800
drove me nuts. I did think that the the Omega

850
00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:24.199
you know, whatever number it is, the Omega forty seven molecule, right,

851
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:26.440
I thought that was again a bit of a ham

852
00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:28.840
fisted threat. It was kind of to me, this felt

853
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:31.639
like leaning back into what I would call the bad

854
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:35.679
parts of Discovery and Picard era writing, right where every

855
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.639
episode had to have some big apocalyptic threat to the

856
00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:43.119
dire galaxy as opposed to just the immediate circumstances that

857
00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:46.360
impact our characters. Right, this Omega forty seven thing was again,

858
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:50.599
we're going to start ripping open subspace as the results

859
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:53.800
of this thing, and is very awkward. But the worst

860
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:57.840
for me was this for Cocktaup Planet, Oh my god, Okay,

861
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:01.039
I just hated it, all right, It's just I understand

862
00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:04.599
the whole wanting to find Caleb's mom, and that's great,

863
00:52:05.079 --> 00:52:08.239
but oh my god, this is like I lost count

864
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:11.920
of how many different episodes of like Picard or Discovery

865
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:14.840
you'd be in some black market planet where things are

866
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:17.599
sort of sketchy and there's bad guys running around. I mean,

867
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:19.519
or Section thirty one did a lot of this right,

868
00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:22.840
which was just appalling. And there's a lot of tarps

869
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:27.719
and everyone's badly disguised wearing their like ponchos and you know,

870
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:31.719
crazy tarp things, and everyone's sort of rough, and we're

871
00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:35.119
gonna wear black colors to show that it's a rough

872
00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:40.119
and tumble marketplace, black market planet. Oh my god, I

873
00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:42.079
can't believe they went back and did that again for this.

874
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:45.320
It's just so tired and the production design is just

875
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:50.639
so oh so poor. Yeah, So, I mean that just

876
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:53.000
yanked me out of the episode. The only reason I

877
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:56.159
stayed with it is I thought the acting, as I

878
00:52:56.199 --> 00:52:59.360
mentioned before, was really solid between Titani and Masle and

879
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:02.559
Sandra Roasta is Caleb Meir. I thought that they really

880
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:05.599
built something near together, and I think they did a

881
00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:08.440
really nice job in terms of their performances, right, I

882
00:53:08.519 --> 00:53:12.440
think don't sell Sandra Roast a short. I think He's

883
00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:14.280
doing a really good job with the Caleb Miir this season.

884
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:16.719
I think it is great. But man, that tired cliche

885
00:53:17.679 --> 00:53:23.960
of the backwater black market, you know, Tarpaul and Poncho

886
00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:26.519
planet off. I never see another one of those again.

887
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:29.119
It'll be too soon. So yeah, a lot of those

888
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:32.760
cliches and tropes were just like enough already, we got

889
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:35.840
to be done. So that was pretty bothersome to me there.

890
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:38.920
I you know again, I'm trying to be generous. I

891
00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:44.400
like this show super tempted. I think, like the vibe

892
00:53:44.440 --> 00:53:47.079
I got from Jim and Eric, I'm super tempted to

893
00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:50.960
give it a seven, but my affection for the show

894
00:53:51.159 --> 00:53:55.239
is pushing it up to an eight, right, because so

895
00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:57.599
I'm going to give it an eight. But I really

896
00:53:57.719 --> 00:54:00.239
had high hopes for this, right, I mean typically on

897
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:02.199
most show. Yeah, that's that for cock them map Look

898
00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:05.119
at that, I mean it's ridiculous. Yeah, how did they

899
00:54:05.159 --> 00:54:07.719
pull that off? You know, who's going to clean this up?

900
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:08.480
That's my question?

901
00:54:08.679 --> 00:54:08.800
Right?

902
00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:11.440
Okay, so you defeated news Braka and his tic tac

903
00:54:11.480 --> 00:54:13.599
toe head. Who's going to clean up all those Omega

904
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:17.039
forties seven things? It's just magic? How's that working? So yeah,

905
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:21.760
too complicated, too big of a high stakes thing. I

906
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:24.320
really hope we get just a ridiculous amount more of

907
00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:27.800
jet Reno in the season two What the hell happened

908
00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:31.519
to her partner in crime? Though she's been m a

909
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:33.480
for the last two or three episodes and I don't

910
00:54:33.519 --> 00:54:36.000
know what happened to her. It's very confusing to me.

911
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:38.880
They had a nice dynamic established as a couple and

912
00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:42.159
now she's just like gone and it's just jet Reno

913
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:46.199
holding things together. So I don't know about that. More

914
00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:48.960
Holly Hunter, Please, for God's sake, just give her more scenes.

915
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:52.280
Same with jet Reno. We need more of the thinking

916
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:55.400
adults at the Helmere with things. So I'll give it

917
00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:58.400
an eight, but I really hope for better, especially with

918
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:01.840
Frank's but bad riding guy. No more of this, please,

919
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:03.599
I beg you, no more of this kind of thing.

920
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:05.800
Let's let's learn from my mistakes to move on.

921
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:13.960
And she I wanted to clarify something. The Omega forty seven,

922
00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:19.320
the synthetic Omega forty seven, was not being created by

923
00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:21.639
the Federation as a weapon. It was being created as

924
00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:26.679
a power source. Because Holly Hunt, I mean Ake says

925
00:55:26.719 --> 00:55:29.880
that one particle could power an entire planet.

926
00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:33.800
So everybody could get better Internet, Yes, so that the.

927
00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:37.800
Internet doesn't get knocked out every five minutes. So they

928
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:42.159
were trying to create a power source. However, I think

929
00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:44.599
it was Eric that mentioned this. Why would you have

930
00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:49.000
a create a something that could be perverted into a

931
00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:53.400
dreadful weapon that massive on a space station in the

932
00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:57.599
middle of nowhere with a single solitary starship protecting me.

933
00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:00.480
I mean, I got the I got the sense that

934
00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:06.519
was supposed to be secret, you know, but but you're right,

935
00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:10.719
I mean, something with that kind of destructive power, you know,

936
00:56:11.719 --> 00:56:12.280
deserves to be.

937
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:15.840
The particular question is why would you do that? Why

938
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:17.719
would you The reason you would do that is so

939
00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:20.440
the plot could be conveniently served and have it stolen

940
00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:24.119
in the next episode. So it's just bad writing. Yeah,

941
00:56:24.199 --> 00:56:26.280
it's just not Those are the kind of things that

942
00:56:26.519 --> 00:56:29.159
that shatter our suspension of disbelief and it makes it

943
00:56:29.239 --> 00:56:31.840
really hard to buy into the show. So yeah, bad

944
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:35.079
bad stuff. I got to agree, and you know, David

945
00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:37.360
points out right. I mean, it's just the mechanics of

946
00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:41.840
that alone. If you of mining, you know, this vast

947
00:56:41.920 --> 00:56:44.239
area of space. I don't care how small generation is

948
00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:46.920
it's just it's just too big of a thing, you know,

949
00:56:47.159 --> 00:56:50.000
and it's just none of those stakes seemed to appot

950
00:56:50.039 --> 00:56:52.320
to our characters. So it's just it made me check out.

951
00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:56.119
Hmm, so hey for me.

952
00:56:56.400 --> 00:57:01.079
Moving on, what's the overall consensus of Tucks First versus

953
00:57:01.679 --> 00:57:02.400
the fans?

954
00:57:03.480 --> 00:57:07.440
Okay, well to bring an update since we brought David's

955
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:11.840
score in last week's ten is now an eight point seven,

956
00:57:12.840 --> 00:57:14.679
which is now below the food.

957
00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:22.800
On the show live show. If you're not on the

958
00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:24.400
show live, your score doesn't count.

959
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:27.480
I say leave it as I'm not convinced he watched

960
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:29.960
the same episode. It's impossible.

961
00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:33.079
I think he needs to be able to just you know,

962
00:57:33.199 --> 00:57:34.840
for his thing to count, he needs to be able

963
00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:36.440
to have his day in court, right, So I say

964
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:38.800
we cut that out until you a chance to you know,

965
00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:42.159
I'm not convinced. Yeah, you know, it's it's part of

966
00:57:42.199 --> 00:57:45.679
the theatrical experience is defending your opinion of the show.

967
00:57:46.679 --> 00:57:49.039
You know, I've never had my score account when I missed,

968
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:51.480
but then I never missed a show, do so there

969
00:57:51.519 --> 00:57:59.840
you go, turned disappear. I will some you know, buzzy review.

970
00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:01.559
Okay, you guys want to bring it back to.

971
00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:06.079
I'm not liking it feels.

972
00:58:05.880 --> 00:58:08.519
Fuzzy to me, like Clinton, like you know, I'm like.

973
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:12.000
Like Cardassian math feels.

974
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:15.679
All right, it was.

975
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:26.440
Stolen, Okay, David says, all right. The fans gave us

976
00:58:26.519 --> 00:58:31.679
a nine. The trick experts only gave it a seven

977
00:58:31.800 --> 00:58:32.480
point four.

978
00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:41.159
Hm. Wow, what's your score again, David? What three? Would

979
00:58:41.159 --> 00:58:41.440
you give it?

980
00:58:41.639 --> 00:58:41.880
Five?

981
00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:43.239
Five?

982
00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.840
Okay? Yeah, you're not digging the show man.

983
00:58:46.159 --> 00:58:50.280
I don't really know. I think it's because it's left

984
00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:54.599
ghouling and not a uh, not enough actual learning about

985
00:58:54.639 --> 00:58:57.239
what dog fleet is, like what dog trucking dinner? I

986
00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:01.239
guess I don't know, more like loading things, work and

987
00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:04.039
stuff in this in the actual field of sky trek.

988
00:59:04.239 --> 00:59:09.800
So yeah, well, isn't it I mean, David, isn't that

989
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:12.199
what we're learning? How you go from being a street

990
00:59:12.280 --> 00:59:16.639
thugs with starfleet officer. I mean, that's what Starfleet Academy

991
00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:19.639
is is making the officers of the future, And that's

992
00:59:20.199 --> 00:59:21.599
exactly what they're showing us.

993
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:24.000
I thought it was all about how to get hot

994
00:59:24.079 --> 00:59:32.519
Beta's head chicks, isn't that? Yeah? You know, they get

995
00:59:32.719 --> 00:59:36.239
they get married in the dude's where's where's the dance

996
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:40.719
at Its just cannon. I'm just talking about cannon.

997
00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:45.960
When when it was Roca capture the ship, did he

998
00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:50.000
get the whales? Whales?

999
00:59:50.360 --> 00:59:50.480
Uh?

1000
00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:54.960
When when Caleb took Terema to see the whales didn't

1001
00:59:55.760 --> 00:59:56.519
get the whales?

1002
00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:58.119
Was that on the ship? I thought that was on

1003
00:59:58.199 --> 00:59:58.599
the planet.

1004
00:59:58.599 --> 01:00:00.960
I think that was at the academy, because the ship

1005
01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:05.320
is not the entire academy. Right, there's all these buildings

1006
01:00:05.360 --> 01:00:08.159
in San Francisco that the academy. Right, the ship is

1007
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:11.559
really the defiant. I mean that to Eric's point, the

1008
01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:14.159
ship really is their defiant, right. It's it's not a

1009
01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:18.880
gigantic seven hundred people on it spaceship, right, It's it's

1010
01:00:19.079 --> 01:00:21.559
there run around. We need to go and get you

1011
01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:24.480
some experience out in the wilds. Kids. It's our field

1012
01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:29.000
trip vehicle. Right, It's like a school bus. Really, that's

1013
01:00:29.039 --> 01:00:30.679
the way they look at it. But the bulk of

1014
01:00:30.760 --> 01:00:33.159
Starfleet Academy is a bunch of buildings in San Francisco.

1015
01:00:33.440 --> 01:00:36.719
If I'm unless I'm really wrong. So George and Gracie

1016
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:40.679
are not on the I don't think I say no,

1017
01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:42.679
they're not. I think they're in a big building in

1018
01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:43.320
San Francisco.

1019
01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:45.800
Yeah, that's the other thing I noticed about the show

1020
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:47.639
is that they talk about a lot of stuff, but

1021
01:00:47.719 --> 01:00:50.599
they don't really have a good way of explaining how

1022
01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:53.039
they got there what it is. And so that's probably

1023
01:00:53.119 --> 01:00:55.280
why I've been not really giving that a high score

1024
01:00:55.800 --> 01:00:58.760
because it's been kind of confusion to me, like, Okay,

1025
01:00:58.920 --> 01:01:02.159
so how did get that? How did why is it?

1026
01:01:02.480 --> 01:01:03.239
What? So?

1027
01:01:03.559 --> 01:01:07.280
Yeah, kind of where the explanations feel hasty to you,

1028
01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:10.000
right what I'm hearing, They just didn't seem like they're

1029
01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:12.039
well thought. I really feel like that was the case

1030
01:01:12.079 --> 01:01:14.760
in this episode. Yeah, just kind of just like scoot

1031
01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:18.400
out the door, kind of like you know, sketchy exposition

1032
01:01:18.639 --> 01:01:21.280
and and you know, they got such a good cast.

1033
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:23.079
I wish they would spend a little bit more time

1034
01:01:24.559 --> 01:01:25.400
writing some stuff.

1035
01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:32.599
Whatever happened to that other character that was the the

1036
01:01:32.719 --> 01:01:34.559
Dominion Sat character.

1037
01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:35.920
Laura Thok, yeah, Laura thought.

1038
01:01:36.360 --> 01:01:37.239
I don't know.

1039
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:38.920
There was that one episode where she just was on

1040
01:01:39.000 --> 01:01:41.360
the intercom, right, I hurt my foot and she's like,

1041
01:01:41.480 --> 01:01:43.239
you know, but but where she wouldn't even get on

1042
01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:44.960
any screen time. All of a sudden they just phrased

1043
01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:47.559
her out. I don't get it. It's very confusing to me.

1044
01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:48.920
It's like I thought she was going to be a

1045
01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:52.119
pivotal character in this season. You can't talk about the finalia,

1046
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:54.840
but I'm like, what happened? So it's weird. So but

1047
01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:57.800
jet Reno must have pushed her down some stairs or something.

1048
01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:02.360
I don't know. But you're staying in the quarters, honey,

1049
01:02:02.519 --> 01:02:05.920
But yeah, I don't know. It's crazy, but I'm very curious.

1050
01:02:06.719 --> 01:02:09.320
We can talk about what we've heard? Does this sound

1051
01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:11.519
okay to do? Guys? Next week when we talk about

1052
01:02:11.519 --> 01:02:13.119
the finale, you want to talk about what we heard

1053
01:02:13.159 --> 01:02:15.760
about season two because there's some stuff been boiling up

1054
01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:18.880
about season two that we can talk about. Okay, absolutely,

1055
01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:22.400
anyone want to do that. Yeah, they haven't let a

1056
01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:24.559
lot of information out, but they've let some out that's

1057
01:02:24.639 --> 01:02:28.559
kind of like eyebrow raising. So I'm like, okay, yeah,

1058
01:02:28.679 --> 01:02:29.039
for sure.

1059
01:02:29.760 --> 01:02:32.199
So guys, that wraps up our review. I did you

1060
01:02:32.320 --> 01:02:34.320
agree with the trucks first? Did you disagree?

1061
01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:37.559
You can head over to truck Talking dot Com and

1062
01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:40.039
there's a little green microphone in the bottom right hand corner.

1063
01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:43.079
Record us a message and tell us we're full of shit.

1064
01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:45.440
Tell us you liked it, tell us. You did whatever,

1065
01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:48.440
Please do that and we will play your comment on

1066
01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:49.360
the next show.

1067
01:02:49.960 --> 01:02:53.760
Okay, you know what time it is now, David roll

1068
01:02:53.920 --> 01:03:15.920
the tape. That was not a clue on song No

1069
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:16.920
Grumpy Wharf.

1070
01:03:17.000 --> 01:03:19.119
It wasn't, but we like it. Anyways.

1071
01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:23.719
I'm really excited about this week's sci Fi Birthdays because

1072
01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:27.519
we've got some really really good ones, and some of

1073
01:03:27.679 --> 01:03:32.199
them up here in our opening intro. All Right, guys, well,

1074
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:35.320
we always start off our sci Fi Birthdays by sadly

1075
01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:38.360
enough remembering those members of the sci fi universe who

1076
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:41.480
are no longer with us, and for that returned to.

1077
01:03:41.679 --> 01:03:45.199
Eric, Yeah, Jim. Our first remembrance this week goes out

1078
01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:49.360
to Peter Paul Fix, the American actor who played the

1079
01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:52.679
other doctor, doctor Mark Piper, in the second pilot of

1080
01:03:52.760 --> 01:03:55.880
Star Trek, the original series where no man has gone before.

1081
01:03:56.320 --> 01:03:59.400
In fact, Fixes one of only two Star Trek actors

1082
01:03:59.519 --> 01:04:03.239
verified as a veteran of the First World War, which

1083
01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:04.960
is pretty cool. He was in the Navy back in

1084
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:09.039
the day. After the Navy, he became an incredibly busy actor,

1085
01:04:10.039 --> 01:04:12.960
moved to Hollywood and became friends with John Wayne and

1086
01:04:13.039 --> 01:04:15.679
actually ended up in a whole bunch of John Wayne

1087
01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:19.079
Films Along the Way. He has some ridiculous number of

1088
01:04:19.199 --> 01:04:22.440
credits on his resume. You should go check it out.

1089
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:25.559
It's more than you would actually expect an actor to

1090
01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:28.320
be able to do. But if you don't know him

1091
01:04:28.360 --> 01:04:30.639
from Star Trek, you probably know him from The Rifleman,

1092
01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:33.239
where he played Micah Torrance of course for the entire

1093
01:04:33.800 --> 01:04:37.039
show's run. So Happy birthday this week to Paul Fix

1094
01:04:37.199 --> 01:04:41.079
lost back in nineteen eighty three at eighty two years old.

1095
01:04:42.239 --> 01:04:45.599
Happy birthday outside of Star Trek this week to Douglas

1096
01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:51.159
James Rayne, the Canadian actor, primarily, of course a stage actor,

1097
01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:54.840
including a very successful run as King Henry the Fifth,

1098
01:04:54.920 --> 01:04:59.800
but he's probably best known for actually voicing hal nine thousand.

1099
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:03.000
That's right, I'm sorry, I can't do that, Dave. That

1100
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:08.880
was Douglas Rain. Happy birthday to Douglas Rain. Happy birthday

1101
01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:12.039
as well to Grant Woods, the actor who played Kellowitz

1102
01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:16.159
in the TOS first season episodes The Galileo seven Arena

1103
01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:19.800
and This Side of Paradise. Following his tour of duty

1104
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:22.039
with the US Navy, he went to Hollywood, where he

1105
01:05:22.159 --> 01:05:27.519
worked as a stuntman under the name Grant Lockwood. He

1106
01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:31.480
used that name quite a bit for performing stunts, but

1107
01:05:31.559 --> 01:05:35.000
then also got into television more and it was once

1108
01:05:35.079 --> 01:05:37.800
he started becoming successful in television he changed his name

1109
01:05:37.880 --> 01:05:40.760
to Grant Woods and continued making guest appearances on shows

1110
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:44.920
like Batman, The Virginian and Green Hornet. His only film

1111
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:49.599
appearance was in nineteen sixty six spy comedy The Silencers. Unfortunately,

1112
01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:51.960
we lost him as a result of a motorcycle accident

1113
01:05:52.039 --> 01:05:55.079
when he was only thirty six years old. So happy

1114
01:05:55.119 --> 01:06:00.480
birthday to Grant Woods. Happy birthday to actor Lawrence Tierney,

1115
01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:03.559
a the colorful character I will say, who appeared as

1116
01:06:03.639 --> 01:06:07.599
Cyrus Redblock in the TNG first season episode The Big Goodbye.

1117
01:06:07.800 --> 01:06:11.239
He was also the regent of Palomar in Deep Space

1118
01:06:11.360 --> 01:06:16.400
nine's fifth season episode Business as Usual. Tierney is absolutely

1119
01:06:16.400 --> 01:06:17.840
I mean, you know this guy right. He's known for

1120
01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:21.800
playing a tough guy throughout the nineteen forties, primarily mobsters

1121
01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:26.480
and hardened criminals. He first acquired recognition for his portrayal

1122
01:06:26.639 --> 01:06:29.519
of the vicious gangster John Dillinger in the nineteen forty

1123
01:06:29.559 --> 01:06:34.400
five film Dillinger. Throughout the fifties, he started playing more

1124
01:06:34.519 --> 01:06:37.880
support characters, honestly because he started having run ins with

1125
01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:41.920
the law, and people started kind of like not trusting

1126
01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:46.000
him and not hiring him as much, so his parts

1127
01:06:46.079 --> 01:06:47.800
grew smaller. He did have a little bit of a

1128
01:06:47.880 --> 01:06:50.719
resurgence with Hill Street Blues from nineteen eighty five through

1129
01:06:50.840 --> 01:06:53.599
nineteen eighty seven, and of course he appears as Elaine's

1130
01:06:53.679 --> 01:06:57.800
father in Seinfeld. The last thing that we saw him

1131
01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:00.559
in was in nineteen ninety two, when he played Joe

1132
01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:05.320
Cabin in Quentin Tarantino's cult film Reservoir Dogs. So a

1133
01:07:05.400 --> 01:07:07.400
face I think we all know and love. Happy birthday

1134
01:07:07.440 --> 01:07:12.760
to Lawrence Tierney. Happy birthday to Walter Jack Gotel, the

1135
01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:16.280
actor who portrayed Kurt Mandel in the TG first season

1136
01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:19.960
episode Home Soil. Born in Bond, Germany, his most famous

1137
01:07:20.039 --> 01:07:22.920
role was the part of General Gogel, head of the KGB,

1138
01:07:23.400 --> 01:07:26.239
in several James Bond films from nineteen seventy seven through

1139
01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:29.440
nineteen eighty seven. He also played a supporting role in

1140
01:07:29.519 --> 01:07:32.679
nineteen eighty four's mini series The Scarlet and the Black

1141
01:07:32.800 --> 01:07:36.519
as an SS general. He also played a German in

1142
01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:40.119
another movie, and then played a German in The X Files,

1143
01:07:40.320 --> 01:07:43.480
and so basically this guy became known as the German

1144
01:07:43.599 --> 01:07:46.119
guest star if he was in a If you needed

1145
01:07:46.159 --> 01:07:49.800
a German from about nineteen forty seven through nineteen ninety seven,

1146
01:07:49.920 --> 01:07:52.440
and you had a TV show or a movie, you

1147
01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:55.559
might give Walter jack Gotel a call. Not really sure

1148
01:07:56.239 --> 01:07:58.679
why that is. Perhaps he has the right look, I

1149
01:07:58.719 --> 01:08:02.039
don't know, but anyway, Happy birthday to him. We lost

1150
01:08:02.119 --> 01:08:04.760
him all the way back in nineteen ninety seven. Happy

1151
01:08:04.800 --> 01:08:09.440
birthday to Walter Gotel. Happy birthday as well to Hagen Beggs.

1152
01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:12.719
First name is actually Jim, but he's known as Hagen.

1153
01:08:13.079 --> 01:08:17.479
He was a Northern Irish born Canadian actor whose acting

1154
01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:21.520
career began with appearances with his appearance as Hanson in

1155
01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:25.479
the first season episodes of Star Trek. Later appeared in

1156
01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:30.960
other television series all over the Place, and did several movies,

1157
01:08:31.079 --> 01:08:34.960
including the nineteen ninety six TV version of the movie Titanic.

1158
01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:39.640
Interestingly enough, he and his wife changed their stage names

1159
01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:42.279
as there were already actors with their same birth names.

1160
01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:47.840
Margaret Maggie Smith became Anna Hagan, which was her grandmother's

1161
01:08:47.880 --> 01:08:51.960
maiden name, and then James Beggs became Hagan Beggs, an

1162
01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:54.920
homage to his wife, so he sort of did a

1163
01:08:54.960 --> 01:08:57.680
little switcheroo there and had a different first name based

1164
01:08:57.720 --> 01:09:00.800
on his wife's family's maiden name. I think that's kind

1165
01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:04.600
of cool. So anyway, Happy birthday to Hagen Beggs, otherwise

1166
01:09:04.760 --> 01:09:09.359
known as Hanson. And I asked for help on this

1167
01:09:09.439 --> 01:09:11.800
one earlier, and somebody please correct me. I'm not sure

1168
01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:13.800
how to pronounce this person's first name. Is it tig

1169
01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:22.119
or tej or t Gay? Somebody? Thank you? Okay, Happy

1170
01:09:22.199 --> 01:09:25.760
birthday this week to TYJ Andrews, the actor who played

1171
01:09:25.760 --> 01:09:30.199
the Klingon Cross in the TOS second season episode Friday's Child.

1172
01:09:31.279 --> 01:09:34.399
Tije had about a dozen movie roles and fifty television

1173
01:09:34.439 --> 01:09:36.720
guest appearances to his credit, but he's probably best known

1174
01:09:36.800 --> 01:09:40.039
for his Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominated regular role

1175
01:09:40.439 --> 01:09:44.119
as police Captain Adam Greer on The Mod Squad. He

1176
01:09:44.279 --> 01:09:49.520
was born in Brooklyn as Tiger Andrews from Syrian immigrant parents,

1177
01:09:50.279 --> 01:09:54.279
and so, following that Syrian custom, his parents named him

1178
01:09:54.319 --> 01:09:58.199
after a strong animal to ensure his good health. He later,

1179
01:09:58.279 --> 01:10:01.880
of course, of course, shortened that. He is a graduate

1180
01:10:02.039 --> 01:10:06.680
of the Dramatic Arts College in New York City and

1181
01:10:07.119 --> 01:10:10.079
began work working on and off Broadway, and then he

1182
01:10:10.159 --> 01:10:15.920
went into a very prolific television guest career, so he

1183
01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:19.479
ultimately retired in nineteen ninety after guest starring in an

1184
01:10:19.479 --> 01:10:22.840
appearance of Murder. She wrote to the show that I

1185
01:10:23.119 --> 01:10:27.079

American actress Annabeth Gish, who portrayed FBI special agent Monica

Weston on the West Wing, Sheriff ALTHEA Jerry on the

seventh season of the excellent series Sons of Anarchy. I

1243
01:14:57.159 --> 01:14:59.399
first saw her a million years ago in a really

1244
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:01.920
great picture called Desert Bloom that if you're looking to

1245
01:15:01.960 --> 01:15:05.279
see some the early work of Annabeth Gish, go check

1246
01:15:05.359 --> 01:15:07.520
that picture out. But she works a lot, does a

1247
01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:11.920
ton of work. So Happy birthday, Annabeth Gish. Happy birthday

1248
01:15:12.000 --> 01:15:17.000
to James Frayne born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, British actor

1249
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:20.319
who played the role of Franklin Mott on the HBO

1250
01:15:20.479 --> 01:15:23.840
series True Blood, but a Star Trek fans remember him

1251
01:15:23.880 --> 01:15:26.079
as playing Sarik in the first and second seasons of

1252
01:15:26.159 --> 01:15:29.279
Star Trek Discovery, and also played the role of Theo

1253
01:15:29.399 --> 01:15:34.239
Gallavan on Gotham. For you superhero folks, Happy birthday to

1254
01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:40.439
Grace Park who portrayed the various number eight Cylon models,

1255
01:15:40.800 --> 01:15:45.359
notably Athena Sharon Agathon and Sharon Bloomer Valeri in the

1256
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:51.279
phenomenal Ronald D. Moore reimagined series of battles Star Galactica,

1257
01:15:51.600 --> 01:15:53.880
which I still run into people who've never watched that,

1258
01:15:53.920 --> 01:15:56.239
and they confuse it with the old seventies show. That's

1259
01:15:56.279 --> 01:15:58.199
a hell of a show, hell of a series very

1260
01:15:58.600 --> 01:16:00.840
and won a Peabody Award. Give us some idea of

1261
01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:05.439
the quality of writing on that particular show, But Battlestar

1262
01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:09.159
Galactica amazing. She also appeared in episodes of the reimagined

1263
01:16:09.199 --> 01:16:12.279
Outer Limits. I believe Dark Angel, The Immortal and Stargate

1264
01:16:12.600 --> 01:16:16.199
SG one likes working in genre television. It seems, so

1265
01:16:16.520 --> 01:16:20.000
there we go. So Happy birthday, Grace Park Okay, grab

1266
01:16:20.079 --> 01:16:21.680
the emergency break of the subway. We got a big

1267
01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:28.439
one hair. Happy birthday to Surreal Master of Mayhem. David

1268
01:16:29.039 --> 01:16:36.199
Cronenberg Okay, Canadian screenwriter, director, producer, and sometimes actor who

1269
01:16:36.319 --> 01:16:39.279
in the Star Trek universe played Kovich in the third

1270
01:16:39.359 --> 01:16:43.880
through fifth seasons of Star Trek Discovery. You might say

1271
01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:44.880
he was in some.

1272
01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:47.920
Ways the father of body horror, if you will, But

1273
01:16:48.199 --> 01:16:54.319
this guy's credits as a director are simply too numerable

1274
01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:58.479
to even mention, I mean, I can scratch the surface.

1275
01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:01.199
When he first came on this seen in the late

1276
01:17:01.319 --> 01:17:04.840
seventies with a picture called The Brood. From there on,

1277
01:17:05.279 --> 01:17:09.079
all of his movies succeeded in raising eyebrows and capturing

1278
01:17:09.119 --> 01:17:15.159
your attention, most infamously with Scanners in nineteen eighty one, Videodrome,

1279
01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:19.479
The Fly Dead Ringers, and for my money, one of

1280
01:17:19.520 --> 01:17:23.439
the best adaptations of any Stephen King property ever, The

1281
01:17:23.760 --> 01:17:27.079
Dead Zone with Christopher Walken in nineteen eighty three. That's

1282
01:17:27.119 --> 01:17:28.720
a hell of a picture if you've ever seen it.

1283
01:17:28.840 --> 01:17:35.079
It's amazing. Naked lunch crash existends history of violence with

1284
01:17:35.479 --> 01:17:39.199
Vigo Mortensen. This Eastern promise is he's still working like

1285
01:17:39.279 --> 01:17:42.359
a madman all the time, most recently with a picture

1286
01:17:42.399 --> 01:17:46.479
called The Shrouds in twenty twenty four. So David Cronenberg

1287
01:17:46.640 --> 01:17:50.399
is a living legend. I mean, you know, right up

1288
01:17:50.439 --> 01:17:53.680
there with David Lynch in terms of his impact on cinema.

1289
01:17:53.720 --> 01:17:58.239
Two very different stylists, but both filmmakers who really are

1290
01:17:58.359 --> 01:18:01.119
rebels and play by their own rules in terms of

1291
01:18:01.199 --> 01:18:06.039
what they choose to to deliver to us. So one

1292
01:18:06.079 --> 01:18:10.159
of the most intriguing of all Canadian Exports. We slute you,

1293
01:18:10.960 --> 01:18:13.960
David Cronenberg, don't go anywhere soon. We love your work.

1294
01:18:14.920 --> 01:18:19.760
Happy birthday to John at a dio and of Boyega. Okay,

1295
01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:22.439
and who is that if you really you know, smooth

1296
01:18:22.520 --> 01:18:26.199
things down into more marketable parlance? Why it's John Boyega

1297
01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:29.880
of course, English actor best known for portraying Finn in

1298
01:18:30.359 --> 01:18:33.760
Star Wars, The Force Awakens, Last Jedi, and the Rise

1299
01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:38.800
of Skywalker. But John Boyega terrific performer, does a lot

1300
01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:40.319
of really good work, has been a lot of other

1301
01:18:40.359 --> 01:18:44.920
films as well, really really talented, and I think there's

1302
01:18:44.920 --> 01:18:46.479
a lot of people who would still like to see

1303
01:18:46.640 --> 01:18:50.760
John Boyega continue in some capacity if they ever decide

1304
01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:52.720
to do anything with the sequel trilogy. I think he's

1305
01:18:52.760 --> 01:18:55.000
a really talented guy. A first showed up in a

1306
01:18:55.079 --> 01:18:58.239
picture called Attack the Block that got a lot of notoriety.

1307
01:18:58.439 --> 01:19:02.520
I'm really really engaging, does not suffer fools gladly, and

1308
01:19:02.840 --> 01:19:06.680
is a terrific force on film. So definitely check out

1309
01:19:06.960 --> 01:19:10.840
his other work as well. Happy birthday, John Boyega, We

1310
01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:14.640
love you. Happy birthday to the great alentutic American actor

1311
01:19:14.760 --> 01:19:18.079
and voice artist known for a ridiculous number of roles,

1312
01:19:18.319 --> 01:19:21.119
but in particular as Hoban wash Washburn in the space

1313
01:19:21.159 --> 01:19:25.279
western television series Firefly and subsequent movie Serenity. And guess what,

1314
01:19:25.880 --> 01:19:28.039
just this Sunday, we had a great, big announcement from

1315
01:19:28.119 --> 01:19:31.079
Nathan Fillion and the gang that they are working to

1316
01:19:31.199 --> 01:19:37.119
reboot Firefly as an animated series during the timeframe before

1317
01:19:37.520 --> 01:19:40.720
the events of the Serenity movie. So that means that

1318
01:19:40.840 --> 01:19:44.560
alent Tutic's wash can participate. I won't spoil it for

1319
01:19:44.640 --> 01:19:46.840
you if you don't know why he couldn't participate in

1320
01:19:46.960 --> 01:19:50.560
movies after the Surrendity project, So there you are. But

1321
01:19:50.760 --> 01:19:53.520
tremendous also really just knocked it out of the park

1322
01:19:53.720 --> 01:19:59.920
as k Twoso, the renegade reprogrammed robot from a rogue

1323
01:20:00.039 --> 01:20:03.800
on a Star Wars story, and the phenomenal subsequent work

1324
01:20:03.840 --> 01:20:06.840
in and Or, which is a television milestone. Absolutely amazing.

1325
01:20:07.199 --> 01:20:09.800
Also really great in his work as Harry Van der

1326
01:20:09.840 --> 01:20:12.399
Spiegel in the science fiction and comedy series Resident Alien.

1327
01:20:12.760 --> 01:20:15.199
Alent Tutic amazing. You see his work, you can count

1328
01:20:15.239 --> 01:20:19.359
on it being high quality, hilarious. Gentlemen can't seem to

1329
01:20:19.359 --> 01:20:22.079
find an off switch on this guy. He's just absolutely amazing.

1330
01:20:23.439 --> 01:20:24.840
I gotta give it up for our next one. I

1331
01:20:24.880 --> 01:20:26.479
seem to have all the heavy hitters there tonight, and

1332
01:20:26.520 --> 01:20:30.960
I'm grateful for them. But this guy, huge hero. I'm

1333
01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:35.279
a big fan of. Kurt Russell, Okay, absolutely amazing. Born

1334
01:20:35.319 --> 01:20:41.359
in Springfield, Massachusetts. Perhaps best known for his long, long,

1335
01:20:41.560 --> 01:20:45.560
long collaboration with director John Carpenter. He is if there

1336
01:20:45.680 --> 01:20:49.479
is Martin Scorsese and Robert de Niro, Kurt Russell is

1337
01:20:49.640 --> 01:20:52.560
equally matched up with John Carpenter and the number of

1338
01:20:52.880 --> 01:20:57.760
cult films they've made in box office it's impossible to count.

1339
01:20:57.760 --> 01:21:00.239
They first worked together on a TV adaptation of the

1340
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:03.520
Elvis Presley story called Elvis It's really, really amazing, and

1341
01:21:03.720 --> 01:21:06.680
it really caught everyone's eye there. He went on to

1342
01:21:06.880 --> 01:21:11.359
do Escape from New York and as legendary actress or

1343
01:21:11.520 --> 01:21:14.640
character Snake Pulisken, and things took off from there. One

1344
01:21:14.680 --> 01:21:17.479
of the all time most brilliant and watchable science fiction

1345
01:21:17.600 --> 01:21:23.399
movies ever filmed. John Carpenter's the Thing, absolutely phenomenal work there,

1346
01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:26.279
Big Trouble in Little China. He was also in the

1347
01:21:26.479 --> 01:21:30.119
Rolandembriic feature film Stargate that launched the whole franchise there,

1348
01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:34.119
The Great Western Tombstone recently released on four K. If

1349
01:21:34.119 --> 01:21:35.399
you're a fan of that film, you can get that

1350
01:21:35.439 --> 01:21:40.239
anytime Overboard with Missus Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn and most

1351
01:21:40.319 --> 01:21:43.720
recently right now on Apple TV Monarch Legacy of Monsters,

1352
01:21:44.840 --> 01:21:48.159
where he and his son Wyatt play the same character.

1353
01:21:48.399 --> 01:21:53.520
Younger version Wyatt, older version Kurt, but amazingly talented actor.

1354
01:21:53.600 --> 01:21:59.800
There also began life as a baseball player and as

1355
01:21:59.840 --> 01:22:02.039
a Disney child star, and a whole series of movies

1356
01:22:02.079 --> 01:22:03.960
that probably no one here is old enough to remember

1357
01:22:04.000 --> 01:22:08.399
except for me maybe Uncle Jim. The Computer wore tennis shoes.

1358
01:22:09.680 --> 01:22:11.840
All those different pictures where he played a character named

1359
01:22:11.880 --> 01:22:12.439
Dexter Riley.

1360
01:22:12.479 --> 01:22:15.439
They were always on the Disney side movie from which Mountain?

1361
01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:16.359
Was that one of them?

1362
01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:18.920
That was not one of them? No, that was not.

1363
01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:24.000
But these werely like it was always like some wacky

1364
01:22:24.119 --> 01:22:26.800
college students. Now you see him, now you don't. Were

1365
01:22:26.840 --> 01:22:28.920
you invisited an invisibility formula?

1366
01:22:29.119 --> 01:22:29.239
Right?

1367
01:22:30.119 --> 01:22:33.399
These crazy you know movies are from the flubber era

1368
01:22:33.640 --> 01:22:36.199
of Disney. Were these cheap pictures they would make, But

1369
01:22:36.279 --> 01:22:38.520
he did like at least three of them, and they're

1370
01:22:38.560 --> 01:22:40.359
pretty funny. I remember the watching them on TV all

1371
01:22:40.359 --> 01:22:43.680
the time as I did. But man, Kurt Russell and

1372
01:22:43.880 --> 01:22:46.680
John Carpenter, you mix those two together, sign me up.

1373
01:22:46.720 --> 01:22:50.119
Whatever they do, they do also together the most hilarious

1374
01:22:50.399 --> 01:22:52.840
like Blue Late Blu Ray commentary tracks. You get these

1375
01:22:52.880 --> 01:22:56.359
two guys together, they cannot stop talking and not start riffing.

1376
01:22:56.479 --> 01:22:59.199
It's They're hilarious. So big fan. Sorry to waste so

1377
01:22:59.279 --> 01:23:02.000
much time, but I love Kurt Russell. Happy Birthday to

1378
01:23:02.079 --> 01:23:06.920

1381
01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:14.720
so many screen credits I can't even begin I mean,

1382
01:23:14.800 --> 01:23:18.079
we would be here all night, X Files, the Child's

1383
01:23:18.079 --> 01:23:22.079
Play movies, most memorably for me as a greema worm

1384
01:23:22.159 --> 01:23:26.439
tongue in Lord of the Rings trilogy. Phenomenal work. But

1385
01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:29.359
he's done so many pictures, so much genre work. It's

1386
01:23:29.439 --> 01:23:32.479
just amazing. And his daughter is having a real successful

1387
01:23:32.560 --> 01:23:35.000
run right now in the pit over on HBO, so

1388

1389
01:23:40.560 --> 01:23:42.000
I would love to get this guy on the show,

1390
01:23:42.079 --> 01:23:44.199
and just never stopped talking to him. He stood so

1391
01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:49.159
many great pictures, so much hard work, very memorably, really

1392
01:23:49.239 --> 01:23:52.760
elevated the craft of acting within the horror movie and

1393
01:23:52.840 --> 01:23:55.920
science fiction genre. So kudos to you, ser. We love

1394
01:23:55.960 --> 01:23:59.119
your work. And I'll pass this rusty microphone over to

1395
01:23:59.319 --> 01:24:00.560
Uncle Jim to take us out.

1396
01:24:01.479 --> 01:24:03.039
Well. I thank you so much, Paul.

1397
01:24:03.159 --> 01:24:04.800
As I said at the top of the show, we

1398
01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:08.560
had some great birthdays to go over tonight, some real

1399
01:24:08.640 --> 01:24:13.199
memorable actors and some great roles. And we're not done yet,

1400
01:24:13.840 --> 01:24:16.600
I believe it or not. I usually do the Klingons,

1401
01:24:16.600 --> 01:24:19.199
and I've got some real good ones here. We're going

1402
01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:22.319
to start off by saying coplaw to Faith Minton. She

1403
01:24:22.439 --> 01:24:24.840
was born in Brooklyn, New York, a stunt woman and

1404
01:24:24.960 --> 01:24:28.760
stunt actors who appeared as the female Lustful Klingon in

1405
01:24:28.840 --> 01:24:32.079
the TNG first season episode Hide and Q.

1406
01:24:32.760 --> 01:24:34.720

01:24:51.960 --> 01:24:56.680
say Happy Birthday and couplaw to Granville van Duson and

1413
01:24:56.800 --> 01:24:59.920
there he is right there. He played the Klingon Magic

1414
01:25:00.039 --> 01:25:03.800
Straight and the Enterprise second season episode Judgment, and the

1415
01:25:03.920 --> 01:25:07.640
Andrian General and the third season episode Proving Ground. If

1416
01:25:07.720 --> 01:25:11.680
you guys have not seen the Enterprise episode Judgment, what.

1417
01:25:11.840 --> 01:25:15.319
Are you waiting for? Run don't walk and watch it

1418
01:25:16.039 --> 01:25:21.520
because it's it's one of Enterprise his best and it

1419
01:25:21.760 --> 01:25:24.319
happens to co star our.

1420
01:25:24.279 --> 01:25:29.039
Next memorable Klingon. That's right, I've got the Klingon of

1421
01:25:29.199 --> 01:25:32.359
all Klingon. Well, yeah, I would say he's right up there.

1422
01:25:32.439 --> 01:25:36.359
He's he is one of the Klingons. We want to

1423
01:25:36.399 --> 01:25:41.880
say Happy Birthday and gop lah to the Awesome, the Incredible,

1424
01:25:42.239 --> 01:25:43.000
the Massive.

1425
01:25:43.680 --> 01:25:47.920
John Garman JG. Hertzler himself.

1426
01:25:48.800 --> 01:25:52.560
He's an actor from Savannah, Georgia who portrayed many different

1427
01:25:52.640 --> 01:25:56.640
roles on several Star Trek series. He's one of only

1428
01:25:56.880 --> 01:26:01.039
five actors to play seven more different characters in Star

1429
01:26:01.159 --> 01:26:04.760
Trek franchise, but he's best known as.

1430
01:26:04.720 --> 01:26:08.039
General Martok on Deep Space Nine.

1431
01:26:08.920 --> 01:26:14.119
Other Klingon roles include Cohos and Star Trek Enterprise Judgment.

1432
01:26:14.760 --> 01:26:19.159
He is the Klingon that defends Archer and gets sent

1433
01:26:19.239 --> 01:26:23.520
to Rua Pente and I won't tell you how that

1434
01:26:23.720 --> 01:26:25.680
ends up. You guys got to go watch the episode,

1435
01:26:25.760 --> 01:26:28.279
but he proves out of doubt that he's a true

1436
01:26:28.399 --> 01:26:32.079
Klingon at the end of that episode. He also played

1437
01:26:32.119 --> 01:26:36.279
the Klingon captain in the enterprise episode Borderland and one

1438
01:26:36.319 --> 01:26:39.960
of my favorites. He voiced Martak on the Lower Decks

1439
01:26:40.159 --> 01:26:43.920
episode The Least Dangerous. That's where they go to play

1440
01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:48.319
the game bat lists and what is it called Battlests

1441
01:26:48.399 --> 01:26:53.479
and Dactas or something like that. It was a a

1442
01:26:53.840 --> 01:26:57.760
Star Trek based D and D laya stop laya layout.

1443
01:26:58.439 --> 01:27:03.560
My dog is going after the here and that, my friends,

1444
01:27:03.720 --> 01:27:08.239
wraps up our Star Trek birthdays for this week. And

1445
01:27:08.399 --> 01:27:15.319
now I don't think we have a Star Trek News. Okay,

1446
01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:19.119
it is time for Star Trek News, and we're going

1447
01:27:19.199 --> 01:27:21.000
to turn things over to Ara.

1448
01:27:21.479 --> 01:27:23.960
Yes, Jim, just to follow up. I think it's called

1449
01:27:26.439 --> 01:27:34.520
bat Leth's and Ben Noors Bens. Anyway, our first Star

1450
01:27:34.600 --> 01:27:36.960
Trek story this week is of course part of our

1451
01:27:37.039 --> 01:27:40.920
favorite segment. Shatner says, what that's right, Star Trek Legend.

1452
01:27:41.079 --> 01:27:45.960
William Shatner suffers unfortunately a terrible horse riding accident. William Shatner,

1453
01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:48.600
the legendary ninety four year old actor best known as

1454
01:27:48.720 --> 01:27:52.239
Captain James T. Kirk from the classic television series Star Trek,

1455
01:27:52.359 --> 01:27:55.479
is facing a health scare after a terrifying horse riding

1456
01:27:55.600 --> 01:27:59.960
accident on his Kentucky farm. On March eleventh, Shatner's share

1457
01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:02.520
that he was thrown from his horse during a routine ride,

1458
01:28:02.920 --> 01:28:05.840
resulting in a severe shoulder injury that requires surgery. Oh

1459
01:28:06.439 --> 01:28:09.079
He described the fall as terrifying at reassured fans he's

1460
01:28:09.119 --> 01:28:12.199
in good spirits, determined to recover, and already is planning

1461
01:28:12.279 --> 01:28:16.399
his next steps. Born March twenty second, oh man, that's

1462
01:28:16.479 --> 01:28:18.920
just a couple of days. His birthday is way nineteen

1463
01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:22.079
thirty one in Montreal, Canada. Shattner began his career in

1464
01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:24.920
theater and early television before landing the role that would

1465
01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:28.520
define his legacy. He became a global star in nineteen

1466
01:28:28.600 --> 01:28:32.439
sixty six as Captain Kirk on Star Trek, the original series,

1467
01:28:32.840 --> 01:28:36.319
a character he portrayed across three seasons seven feature films.

1468
01:28:37.760 --> 01:28:42.439
Kirk bold, charismatic, rule bending, and deeply humane made Shatner

1469
01:28:42.479 --> 01:28:45.439
a cultural icon. And helped launch Star Trek into a

1470
01:28:45.560 --> 01:28:49.680
multi billion dollar franchise. His delivery of lines like beat

1471
01:28:49.720 --> 01:28:53.000
Me Up, Scotty, though he never actually said that on

1472
01:28:53.199 --> 01:28:57.640
the screen, and his passionate theatrical style became instantly recognizable.

1473
01:28:58.279 --> 01:29:01.199
Fans are particularly worried about this accident because Shatner has

1474
01:29:01.239 --> 01:29:05.640
remained remarkably active into his nineties. He still rides horses regularly,

1475
01:29:06.119 --> 01:29:10.239
performs live shows, records music, writes books, and engages with

1476
01:29:10.399 --> 01:29:15.479
audiences through social media and conventions. At ninety four, any

1477
01:29:15.600 --> 01:29:19.079
major surgery, especially when involving the shoulder, carries high risks

1478
01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:25.159
of complications, prolonged recovery, or reduced mobility. Shatner has always

1479
01:29:25.199 --> 01:29:29.239
projected resilience and optimism. He has joked about aging in interviews,

1480
01:29:29.279 --> 01:29:33.199
saying he refuses to slow down, and his recent projects,

1481
01:29:33.279 --> 01:29:37.359
including a twenty twenty five documentary on his life, ongoing

1482
01:29:37.439 --> 01:29:42.359
music releases and appearances, show no signs of retirement. He

1483
01:29:42.439 --> 01:29:46.279
has spoken openly about staying physically fit, riding horses as

1484
01:29:46.359 --> 01:29:50.319
a passion, and embracing challenges. The Star Trek community, which

1485
01:29:50.319 --> 01:29:53.399
has followed him for nearly sixty years, is rallying with support,

1486
01:29:53.800 --> 01:29:57.439
sharing clips of his most iconic moments and sending messages

1487
01:29:57.520 --> 01:30:02.800
of encouragement. William Shatner's legacy is immense. He helped define

1488
01:30:02.840 --> 01:30:06.920
the Golden age of science fiction television, inspired generations of fans,

1489
01:30:07.359 --> 01:30:11.560
and remained a beloved figure through every phase of his career.

1490
01:30:11.800 --> 01:30:15.640
Our thoughts, of course go out to William Shatner and

1491
01:30:16.000 --> 01:30:20.359
our best wishes for his quick and hopefully flawless recovery.

1492
01:30:20.439 --> 01:30:23.399
This is kind of a big deal, but we of

1493
01:30:23.439 --> 01:30:26.720
course hope the best for him. So on a more

1494
01:30:26.800 --> 01:30:30.000
positive note, I would love to get to what's bruin

1495
01:30:30.039 --> 01:30:33.560
in the toy market. What do you say, Paul, That.

1496
01:30:33.640 --> 01:30:36.279
Sounds good man. So, yeah, this Sunday, he'll be ninety five.

1497
01:30:36.600 --> 01:30:40.640
That's wild, that's bananas. I mean, ninety five years old.

1498
01:30:41.199 --> 01:30:43.520
I only hope I make it to ten years younger

1499
01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:43.800
than that.

1500
01:30:46.800 --> 01:30:49.720
That's a threshold for sure. So keep on going there, Bill,

1501
01:30:50.039 --> 01:30:50.560
hanging there.

1502
01:30:50.640 --> 01:30:52.119
We love you, all right.

1503
01:30:52.439 --> 01:30:55.279
Yeah, surgery, that's no fun. But I think he'll be fun.

1504
01:30:55.479 --> 01:30:57.720
So you know, we'll see what goes on. Yeah, let's

1505
01:30:57.720 --> 01:31:00.760
talk toys and collectibles, because a toy collectible company, XO

1506
01:31:01.079 --> 01:31:05.159
six as officially unveiled the next edition of its Star

1507
01:31:05.239 --> 01:31:08.680
Trek six scale collectible figure line the Commander William t Riker.

1508
01:31:09.720 --> 01:31:12.079
Now we've had XO six folks on this Ray show,

1509
01:31:12.239 --> 01:31:14.920
so perhaps they'll want to come back again. I believe

1510
01:31:15.159 --> 01:31:17.359
my friend Eric is an EXO six figure of.

1511
01:31:19.680 --> 01:31:23.079
Right above us here su is lording over me as

1512
01:31:23.119 --> 01:31:23.479
we speak.

1513
01:31:23.600 --> 01:31:26.359
Yeah, one six scale, now, I remember doing that. It

1514
01:31:26.520 --> 01:31:30.399
was one of our earlier podcast segments together. So that

1515
01:31:30.520 --> 01:31:34.159
was fun. Based on the appearance of Jonathan Drakes is

1516
01:31:34.199 --> 01:31:36.560
number one in Star Trek. The next generation William t

1517
01:31:36.800 --> 01:31:39.800
Riker comes complete with a ten forward chair that he

1518
01:31:39.880 --> 01:31:43.840
can step over dramatically for the full Riker maneuver playability amazing.

1519
01:31:43.960 --> 01:31:46.199
The figure is available to pre order now, priced it

1520
01:31:47.039 --> 01:31:50.600
two hundred and thirty dollars. Excuse me, the EXO six

1521
01:31:50.720 --> 01:31:54.199
t g Riker includes and this is an awful long list,

1522
01:31:54.319 --> 01:31:58.520
so I'm going to judiciously edit this. Okay, thirty points

1523
01:31:58.520 --> 01:32:02.039
of articulation A great portrait of freaks due to uniform

1524
01:32:03.199 --> 01:32:07.920
accurately researched magnets used, a holst of the tricorder and phaser,

1525
01:32:08.399 --> 01:32:15.039
nice boots, display base, various hands, alternate props, Phaser, Tricorder,

1526
01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:20.239
hand communicator, and pad all the kinds of stuff there, tricorder,

1527
01:32:20.520 --> 01:32:24.479
all the good stuff. The absolute centerpiece of this release, however,

1528
01:32:24.640 --> 01:32:29.199
is a meticulously recreated ten forward share. This successory allows

1529
01:32:29.279 --> 01:32:32.479
correctors to, of course, as we said, in no repetitive

1530
01:32:32.479 --> 01:32:36.600
way whatsoever, repeat the legendary Riker maneuver of thrusting one

1531
01:32:36.680 --> 01:32:38.479
leg over the chair to sit down in a way

1532
01:32:38.520 --> 01:32:39.439
that's not disturbing at all.

1533
01:32:39.840 --> 01:32:43.079
This right now, that's on the screen. If you're an patron,

1534
01:32:43.159 --> 01:32:45.560
you can see it. But like the way they've got

1535
01:32:45.600 --> 01:32:48.600
imposed with his leg over the chairs, it's really awesome.

1536
01:32:49.279 --> 01:32:50.560
It's just crazy.

1537
01:32:51.479 --> 01:32:53.159
So you know, you can do whatever you want with

1538
01:32:53.239 --> 01:32:56.319
that leg, and for two hundred thirty smackers you can

1539
01:32:56.399 --> 01:32:58.520
do just like William Reker did in the series, and

1540
01:32:58.600 --> 01:33:00.840
you can have n't pretended direct that ass and all

1541
01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:03.279
the things you care to do. This is, of course

1542
01:33:03.359 --> 01:33:06.079
the bearded Riker, just to make sure would there be

1543
01:33:06.159 --> 01:33:06.800
another Riker?

1544
01:33:06.920 --> 01:33:07.479
Would we ever?

1545
01:33:07.680 --> 01:33:10.560
I think they've already done an early first season Raker

1546
01:33:10.720 --> 01:33:11.720
or whatever it might be.

1547
01:33:12.479 --> 01:33:13.520
The brand didn't come off.

1548
01:33:15.279 --> 01:33:17.039
Yeah, well you know it might look a little weird.

1549
01:33:17.119 --> 01:33:19.520
You know, Vulcrow can only do so much, David, But.

1550
01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:21.600
There we have it.

1551
01:33:21.720 --> 01:33:25.159
So you can find this guy anywhere. I think a

1552
01:33:25.279 --> 01:33:27.159
typical spot that a lot of fans go to is

1553
01:33:27.199 --> 01:33:29.720
Big Bad Toy Store. If you're looking to purchase one

1554
01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:33.079
of these things, they reliable. If you get your order

1555
01:33:33.119 --> 01:33:35.399
in with them, you know they won't cancel it on

1556
01:33:35.520 --> 01:33:37.920
you and you'll get it. So good stuff. So XO

1557
01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:42.000
six continues to release a wide variety of various Star

1558
01:33:42.079 --> 01:33:47.199
Trek themed twelve inch scale collectibles. So there we are.

1559
01:33:47.479 --> 01:33:53.399
But wait, there's more science fiction news. Fans. Okay, are

1560
01:33:53.439 --> 01:33:55.880
you feeling like you might be a leaf on the wind?

1561
01:33:56.560 --> 01:33:59.640
If so, right, if you know what corner of the

1562
01:33:59.760 --> 01:34:03.680
verse I'm talking about, We're talking about Firefly Friends, Because,

1563
01:34:03.760 --> 01:34:07.520
as we learned at Awesome Con this very Sunday, last

1564
01:34:08.239 --> 01:34:10.960
Firefly animated series is in the works, with the full

1565
01:34:11.199 --> 01:34:13.640
cast on board, all of them that are still alive.

1566
01:34:13.760 --> 01:34:16.920
Of course, time to brush on your mandarin brown coats,

1567
01:34:16.960 --> 01:34:19.439
because the big Firefly news that's been teased for weeks

1568
01:34:19.479 --> 01:34:23.079
has finally been revealed. Yes, indeed, an animated Firefly series

1569
01:34:23.279 --> 01:34:26.119
is in the works. Stars Nathan Fillion and Alan Tutik,

1570
01:34:26.319 --> 01:34:28.239
along with the rest of the cast, announced the news

1571
01:34:28.319 --> 01:34:30.880
during a big cast reunion panel at DC's awesome con

1572
01:34:31.159 --> 01:34:34.880
just this last Sunday. A video popped up right after

1573
01:34:35.000 --> 01:34:38.000
on Instagram with Nathan Phillian saying that not only does

1574
01:34:38.039 --> 01:34:41.880
he have creator Josh Wadon's blessing, but twentieth Century Fox

1575
01:34:41.960 --> 01:34:45.840
Disney is also excited to see Serenity Sore again. As

1576
01:34:45.920 --> 01:34:49.560
for showrunners, Nathan Filliane has Tara Butters, Agent Carter and

1577
01:34:49.640 --> 01:34:54.680
Dollhouse and Mark Guggenheim The Arrow and Flash lined up

1578
01:34:54.680 --> 01:34:57.119
as a couple who met and married through the series.

1579
01:34:57.319 --> 01:34:59.960
Oh that just seems like serendipity, doesn't it. A script

1580
01:35:00.119 --> 01:35:02.720
has already written and an animation house has already lined

1581
01:35:02.800 --> 01:35:06.039
up Shadow House, So right now they've got all the ingredients,

1582
01:35:06.279 --> 01:35:08.359
but they need to find a home base to land

1583
01:35:08.880 --> 01:35:11.800
their ship. Phillian and Tudic, who played Captain Mal Reynolds

1584
01:35:11.840 --> 01:35:14.840
and Hoben wash Washburn respectively in the Space Western Caper,

1585
01:35:15.560 --> 01:35:17.680
have been teasing this news for weeks in a series

1586
01:35:17.720 --> 01:35:20.680
of Instagram videos. Filian was seen knocking on the doors

1587
01:35:20.720 --> 01:35:25.920
of Gina Torres Marina bacherin Sean Mayer Summer Glaud Jewell State,

1588
01:35:26.239 --> 01:35:29.520
teasing that something big was up on the horizon. Oh

1589
01:35:29.720 --> 01:35:33.560
are you in? Oh, it's happening, Bhillian told Mayor at

1590
01:35:33.640 --> 01:35:36.960
this doorstep. Adam Baldwin could be seen in the new

1591
01:35:37.079 --> 01:35:40.439
video post in Sunday, of course, played Jane Cobb through

1592
01:35:40.680 --> 01:35:43.239
the ron glass of course, who played Shepherd Book sadly

1593
01:35:43.319 --> 01:35:45.720
died ten years ago in twenty sixteen, so I don't

1594
01:35:45.720 --> 01:35:49.000
think he'll be participating, but you know, hopefully they will

1595
01:35:49.039 --> 01:35:51.439
come up with some way of doing that through recasting

1596
01:35:51.520 --> 01:35:55.000
or what have you, or perhaps a Shepherd Book will

1597
01:35:55.039 --> 01:35:58.760
be away on some kind of quest or something like that.

1598
01:35:58.920 --> 01:36:01.000
So you never know this this creative ways around it,

1599
01:36:01.039 --> 01:36:05.159
but it's pretty exciting. I'm, I'm. You know, we keep

1600
01:36:05.199 --> 01:36:10.079
seeing animation get more regard as a form of I mean,

1601
01:36:10.119 --> 01:36:12.119
I don't know if it's gonna be cell animation or

1602
01:36:12.159 --> 01:36:14.560
the kind of animation we see on Disney Plus with

1603
01:36:15.079 --> 01:36:18.159
shows like a Mall Shadow Lord that's about to unspool

1604
01:36:18.159 --> 01:36:21.439
in a couple of weeks, right because all the Rebel

1605
01:36:22.000 --> 01:36:25.359
or clone wars, all that kind of like more three

1606
01:36:25.439 --> 01:36:28.439
D animation is really build up a fervent following. But

1607
01:36:28.760 --> 01:36:33.079
you know, look at the success this last year of

1608
01:36:33.239 --> 01:36:34.520
K pop Demon Hunters.

1609
01:36:34.600 --> 01:36:34.720
Right.

1610
01:36:34.840 --> 01:36:38.000
It may be a silly title, but not own to me.

1611
01:36:38.319 --> 01:36:41.760
Did that movie ever, like, strike a cultural nerve, right,

1612
01:36:41.920 --> 01:36:45.039
and strike a huge I mean it just they needed

1613
01:36:45.079 --> 01:36:48.600
a truck to carry away all the oscars they won Sunday, right,

1614
01:36:48.720 --> 01:36:51.840
so the big stuff, So don't be smart. Animation. Animation

1615
01:36:52.039 --> 01:36:55.159
is a huge art form and it allows a lot

1616
01:36:55.199 --> 01:36:58.359
of creative freedom. You can do things a lot cheaper

1617
01:36:58.439 --> 01:37:00.520
in animation than you would if you were having to

1618
01:37:00.560 --> 01:37:05.039
film everything with you know, conventional special effects and a

1619
01:37:05.159 --> 01:37:07.560
huge crew. So this gives him a lot of latitude

1620
01:37:07.960 --> 01:37:11.560
to really deliver some interesting space storytelling. I just hope

1621
01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:14.359
the dialogue is as crisp and amusing as it always

1622
01:37:14.520 --> 01:37:17.159
was on the show. But with this group involved, I

1623
01:37:17.319 --> 01:37:19.880
have zero doubts. I know they're going to pull it off.

1624
01:37:21.039 --> 01:37:24.279
I think that might be it for science fiction news

1625
01:37:24.399 --> 01:37:28.119
that I've got here. I would just add a perspectives

1626
01:37:29.079 --> 01:37:30.880
go for it, dude, Well.

1627
01:37:30.760 --> 01:37:32.399
I would love to be able to say something about

1628
01:37:32.479 --> 01:37:37.199
Firefly real quick. Yeah, So, I am, of course very

1629
01:37:37.239 --> 01:37:40.920
excited about this huge Firefly fan. You'll remember, Paul or

1630
01:37:41.000 --> 01:37:44.800
maybe have a little reminder that between so this, I

1631
01:37:44.880 --> 01:37:48.199
believe this animated series happens between the end of the

1632
01:37:48.279 --> 01:37:51.319
season that we got in the Serenity Movie. And so

1633
01:37:51.399 --> 01:37:54.640
at the beginning of the Serenity Movie book has actually

1634
01:37:54.720 --> 01:37:58.079
been living on the Haven mining Colony and he kind

1635
01:37:58.079 --> 01:38:00.920
of kind of comes back to rejoin the the crew.

1636
01:38:01.079 --> 01:38:04.479
So I expect that hopefully, well I expect that since

1637
01:38:04.520 --> 01:38:07.159
we don't have Wrong Glass anymore, that he will be

1638
01:38:07.279 --> 01:38:10.600
away on the mining colony and you know, and the

1639
01:38:10.720 --> 01:38:14.239
rest of the crew will get to have their adventure here.

1640
01:38:15.239 --> 01:38:19.279
But man makes sense, Yeah, yeah, And so I'm very

1641
01:38:19.319 --> 01:38:23.880
excited about the fact that the animation is a viable

1642
01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:26.960
way of actually bringing these characters back because remember, we

1643
01:38:27.079 --> 01:38:30.239
haven't seen these guys for like, what's it been twenty

1644
01:38:30.399 --> 01:38:31.640
thirty years or so.

1645
01:38:33.119 --> 01:38:33.920
Twenty five years?

1646
01:38:34.720 --> 01:38:37.600
Yeah, so twenty five years. So animation allows us to

1647
01:38:37.800 --> 01:38:41.000
bring back these characters and put them in a scenario

1648
01:38:41.119 --> 01:38:43.239
wherein we don't have to see their faces. It's kind

1649
01:38:43.239 --> 01:38:46.680
of like putting Jane Way into Prodigy, right and having

1650
01:38:46.760 --> 01:38:50.239
the younger version of herself be available. Because it's an

1651
01:38:50.279 --> 01:38:55.079
animated show. So I know that not everybody's in the animation,

1652
01:38:55.359 --> 01:38:58.359
but I do think it's a viable format. And as

1653
01:38:58.399 --> 01:39:00.399
a person who's read all the books, read all the

1654
01:39:00.439 --> 01:39:02.760
comics and everything, I'm just excited to have more Firefly.

1655
01:39:03.000 --> 01:39:04.039
It's a great verse out there.

1656
01:39:04.920 --> 01:39:08.239
Absolutely yeah. I couldn't be more excited. It's it's a

1657
01:39:08.359 --> 01:39:11.960
terrific show. People have been looking hungry for more for

1658
01:39:12.000 --> 01:39:14.159
a long time and this is a wonderful group of actors.

1659
01:39:14.279 --> 01:39:16.359
Right put them together, who knows what they'll come up with.

1660
01:39:16.640 --> 01:39:18.199
I want to say one thing really quick. When I

1661
01:39:18.279 --> 01:39:21.239
first saw a Firefly, I thought it was an adaptation

1662
01:39:21.399 --> 01:39:24.319
to Star Wars because it just reminded me so much

1663
01:39:24.359 --> 01:39:26.560
about it, and I thought it was just another part

1664
01:39:26.600 --> 01:39:28.720
of the Star Wars universe. And just like the ship

1665
01:39:28.800 --> 01:39:32.960
boys like named the shwy was named Firefly because of

1666
01:39:33.039 --> 01:39:35.399
the ship and everything. I was just like okay, Stalward,

1667
01:39:35.479 --> 01:39:37.640
But it turned out to it for me. I was

1668
01:39:37.680 --> 01:39:40.199
like okay, so yeah yeah.

1669
01:39:40.880 --> 01:39:44.000
And if you watch the animated show Star Wars Rebels right,

1670
01:39:44.119 --> 01:39:48.079
which came afterwards, Star Wars Rebels feels like Firefly. I

1671
01:39:48.159 --> 01:39:50.880
mean it really does. There's a wacky band of like

1672
01:39:51.159 --> 01:39:53.680
cohorts who are kind of like a found family that

1673
01:39:53.840 --> 01:39:56.720
all live on this ship and get involved in different adventures.

1674
01:39:56.800 --> 01:39:59.039
I mean, it's like for fans to meet the franchise.

1675
01:39:59.079 --> 01:40:01.399
If you don't know either show, you're gonna love it

1676
01:40:01.439 --> 01:40:04.720
if you love one, right, because Rebels, this fantastic Star

1677
01:40:04.760 --> 01:40:08.720
Wars storytelling doesn't get enough credit, you know, but it

1678
01:40:08.800 --> 01:40:11.520
is kind of a spiritual successor at the Firefly. Right,

1679
01:40:11.640 --> 01:40:16.039
It's just great, so super fun and fans, I just

1680
01:40:16.119 --> 01:40:18.760
like to add on there before we close out, if

1681
01:40:18.840 --> 01:40:21.439
you have not yet seen the trailers, I will just

1682
01:40:21.520 --> 01:40:26.680
say it again for Doing three that Dnivilleneuve dropped this week,

1683
01:40:27.680 --> 01:40:32.000
or Spider Man Brand New Day. Spider Man's coming out

1684
01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:34.760
at the end of July. Doing three is coming out

1685
01:40:35.039 --> 01:40:39.600
in Christmas. Right, you want to see these trailers and

1686
01:40:39.760 --> 01:40:41.560
try to find them on the biggest screen you can,

1687
01:40:41.760 --> 01:40:45.279
especially the one for Doing three. I'm super excited for

1688
01:40:45.439 --> 01:40:49.359
both these pictures. After seeing the trailers, they look amazingly cool.

1689
01:40:49.640 --> 01:40:53.000
So if you have not checked these out yet, you've

1690
01:40:53.000 --> 01:40:54.520
got a lot of look forward though. There's a lot

1691
01:40:54.520 --> 01:40:55.279
of cool stuff.

1692
01:40:55.319 --> 01:40:57.960
The trailer that we should look forward to too. If

1693
01:40:58.000 --> 01:41:02.439
anybody's realizing it's coming out, it's coming April sixth. It's

1694
01:41:02.520 --> 01:41:05.960
the Rise of Mall another Star Wars.

1695
01:41:06.159 --> 01:41:10.119
Yeah, the Shadow Lord. Yeah, that's the new series. Yeah

1696
01:41:10.199 --> 01:41:12.680
on Disney Plus. I was gonna mention that too, David.

1697
01:41:12.840 --> 01:41:15.479
Good call. We're getting a bunch of episodes for that.

1698
01:41:17.640 --> 01:41:20.319
Dave Filoni, who's like the brain child behind Clone Wars

1699
01:41:20.560 --> 01:41:24.359
and Rebels and all those, he's the man behind this.

1700
01:41:24.520 --> 01:41:26.439
He's the same voice actor who played Mall on all

1701
01:41:26.479 --> 01:41:29.640
those shows. And rumor has it this is something special.

1702
01:41:29.960 --> 01:41:34.760
I've heard that nothing but good things about this particular show,

1703
01:41:34.880 --> 01:41:37.680
David Mall Shadow Lord over on Disney plus Darting a

1704
01:41:37.720 --> 01:41:39.119
couple of weeks. I think it's going to be a winter.

1705
01:41:39.159 --> 01:41:41.640
We're getting two episodes a week of that one. And

1706
01:41:41.920 --> 01:41:44.840
people sometimes like the poo poo animation, but man, it

1707
01:41:44.920 --> 01:41:50.520
looks hardcore really look yeah, yeah, maybe we can tell.

1708
01:41:50.760 --> 01:41:52.680
I'm way up for talking about that show a couple

1709
01:41:52.720 --> 01:41:55.000
of times and months to come. But there's a lot

1710
01:41:55.039 --> 01:41:57.119
of good television out there, good good stuff to keep

1711
01:41:57.159 --> 01:42:00.319
us going. We can just get the real world to

1712
01:42:00.359 --> 01:42:04.840
cooperate and get into a little bit more copastic mindset,

1713
01:42:04.920 --> 01:42:07.039
we'll be able to enjoy all this stuff. So, but

1714
01:42:07.560 --> 01:42:10.840
a lot of good things out there. And I'm pretty sure,

1715
01:42:10.880 --> 01:42:13.399
Uncle Jim, are we not talking about the season one

1716
01:42:13.479 --> 01:42:16.359
finale of Starfleet Academy next week?

1717
01:42:17.319 --> 01:42:19.600
Yes? We are absolutely.

1718
01:42:21.199 --> 01:42:22.279
Cool. Cool.

1719
01:42:23.520 --> 01:42:25.119
And then I think we're done with news though.

1720
01:42:25.239 --> 01:42:28.840
I think, yeah, we're done with the show where another

1721
01:42:28.920 --> 01:42:30.399
show has come to an end.

1722
01:42:33.239 --> 01:42:37.560
Record number of disconnects and reconnects. For me, I'll be

1723
01:42:37.640 --> 01:42:39.159
interesting to see what that looks like.

1724
01:42:41.319 --> 01:42:41.960
I don't know why.

1725
01:42:42.319 --> 01:42:44.880
Now at the end of the show, my internet connection

1726
01:42:45.000 --> 01:42:45.760
is totally stable.

1727
01:42:46.920 --> 01:42:50.439
Yeah, it felt like a solar activity or sun spots.

1728
01:42:50.560 --> 01:42:50.960
It was weird.

1729
01:42:51.000 --> 01:42:53.640
I mean, I just the audios for everybody was really.

1730
01:42:55.680 --> 01:42:55.720
Me.

1731
01:42:55.880 --> 01:42:56.960
I'm like, what going on?

1732
01:42:57.520 --> 01:42:59.439
Paul and I are blocks from each other, so it's

1733
01:42:59.520 --> 01:43:01.319
like when he has problems and I don't, or when

1734
01:43:01.359 --> 01:43:03.199
I have problems and he doesn't, it's like what I

1735
01:43:03.239 --> 01:43:03.720
don't even know?

1736
01:43:04.479 --> 01:43:09.000
Yeah, yeah, well I mentioned at the top of the

1737
01:43:09.039 --> 01:43:12.840

not only in The Handmaid's Tale, she was in the expanse.

1766
01:44:38.960 --> 01:44:41.640
Yes, yes, she was very exciting.

1767
01:44:41.840 --> 01:44:43.159
Yeah I did not know this about her.

1768
01:44:43.319 --> 01:44:47.039
Yeah, well, she's got like so many cool things that

1769
01:44:47.159 --> 01:44:50.000

01:44:50.079 --> 01:44:53.920
a regal nature to her, like you know visage that

1771
01:44:54.039 --> 01:44:55.720

1773
01:44:57.199 --> 01:44:58.560
talk to in real life.

1774
01:44:58.840 --> 01:45:01.880
Yeah, it's all agree now that we address her as

1775
01:45:02.119 --> 01:45:03.199

01:45:03.119 --> 01:45:08.439

1778
01:45:11.199 --> 01:45:11.399
Yeah.

1779
01:45:12.760 --> 01:45:14.920
Were you pressured to do any nudity or grace?

1780
01:45:15.279 --> 01:45:15.520
Yeah?

1781
01:45:17.960 --> 01:45:19.479
Yeah. It was a super fun show tonight.

1782
01:45:19.560 --> 01:45:19.760
Guys.

1783
01:45:19.800 --> 01:45:21.279
It's always just good to get together.

1784
01:45:21.119 --> 01:45:26.560
A dog very helpful though for all coming back with

1785
01:45:26.680 --> 01:45:27.319
another season.

1786
01:45:27.439 --> 01:45:31.560
You guys we should talk about because honestly, I just

1787
01:45:31.760 --> 01:45:33.479
I don't know why I'm behind the times. I just

1788
01:45:33.600 --> 01:45:35.800
heard about it, so I'm I need to find out

1789
01:45:35.880 --> 01:45:39.079
more information. But that is literally one of the best

1790
01:45:39.119 --> 01:45:43.800
shows ever made. The fact that they're is I'm just

1791
01:45:43.920 --> 01:45:44.760
so excited about it.

1792
01:45:45.000 --> 01:45:48.079
Yeah, oh God. And to say nothing of the fact

1793
01:45:48.119 --> 01:45:50.680
that Project Hail Mary opens, Well.

1794
01:45:50.600 --> 01:45:51.119
That's the thing.

1795
01:45:52.000 --> 01:45:54.079
Does it open tomorrow? Is it already open? It's been

1796
01:45:54.479 --> 01:45:56.159
I thought it was already at the Hollywood. Well, they

1797
01:45:56.199 --> 01:45:57.640
had a they had like a preview show.

1798
01:45:57.680 --> 01:46:01.279
If you had are it gets released tomorrow. Yeah, so

1799
01:46:01.600 --> 01:46:05.479
it'll be everywhere tomorrow, but I'm they're heading for a

1800
01:46:05.520 --> 01:46:06.039
big weekend.

1801
01:46:06.640 --> 01:46:11.600
Paulmized local theater has it in seventy millimeters. I'm so

1802
01:46:11.720 --> 01:46:12.439
excited about that.

1803
01:46:13.760 --> 01:46:15.279
Well, seriously, I have a.

1804
01:46:15.319 --> 01:46:18.680
Movie theater here in Vermont, so I won't be able

1805
01:46:18.720 --> 01:46:21.720
to catch it unless I go to New York unfortunately.

1806
01:46:22.199 --> 01:46:25.600
But anyways, thank you so much to Chiles for hanging

1807
01:46:25.640 --> 01:46:28.600
out and Shrek talking with us tonight. Thank you so much. Child.

1808
01:46:29.000 --> 01:46:32.319
Oh you're welcome. Thank you. So I had connection issue

1809
01:46:32.319 --> 01:46:37.079
and I had to switch cameras And hope Thee's having

1810
01:46:37.159 --> 01:46:39.720
a lot. Hope Van's having a lot of fun. She

1811
01:46:39.920 --> 01:46:43.640
missed tonight because she's at a convention. She's smooth and

1812
01:46:43.840 --> 01:46:45.399
with a bunch of Star Trek people.

1813
01:46:47.520 --> 01:46:50.359
Yeah, she sent us a photo just a couple hours

1814
01:46:50.439 --> 01:46:52.560
before the show of her and arm and Shimmerman, so

1815
01:46:52.680 --> 01:46:54.159
that was pretty cool. I can't wait to hear the

1816
01:46:54.239 --> 01:46:54.880
recap from that.

1817
01:46:57.520 --> 01:47:00.840
And she's wearing her Truck Talking t shirt.

1818
01:47:00.680 --> 01:47:03.720
As well and handing out business cards, so hopefully that

1819
01:47:03.840 --> 01:47:05.239
translates to more interviews.

1820
01:47:07.960 --> 01:47:09.960
