Well, good evening, Treky's and Trekkers around the globe. But

16
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:13.959
it's Thursday, November fourteenth, twenty twenty four. Welcome to episode

17
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:18.519
six hundred and twelve of Spread Talking. I'm your most

18
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.640
excellent host, Uncle Jim, and we have got a great

19
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:23.840
show planned for you guys tonight. But before I go

20
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.760
too far, I'd like to introduce to you my awesome,

21
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.799
my incredible trek Spurts and we're gonna start out in

22
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.480
Las Vegas. We're gonna say hello to Charles. How you

23
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:34.079
doing tonight?

24
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.280
I'm doing all right. We had a couple of interesting episodes.

25
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.480
We just need to stay away from some of the

26
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.519
odd foods critics, and I think will be okay.

27
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.599
I think you're absolutely right. And now we're going to

28
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.799
swing around to Portland where we have our very own

29
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.640
donut guy, or maybe he's the cheese guy today, I'm

30
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.599
not sure, but we have with us David. How you doing, David.

31
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.599
I'm doing pretty good. I'm so glad I'm not in

32
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.519
the paceless drail. You know that's gotta be really bad.

33
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:17.439
Especially especially with the moldy cheese Man. Excellent. And also

34
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.520
in Portland we have our very own toy guy, Paul.

35
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.159
How you doing tonight, Paul?

36
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:24.919
How could Jim? I'm doing well, sir, doing well. Ready

37
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:29.800
to dive into talking some new episodes tonight and try

38
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.680
to see if we can stay positive amidst the sea

39
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.879
of madness. Yeah, that's their challenge, that's our challenge.

40
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:41.560
We definitely will and and and last, but definitely not least.

41
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.960
Also from Portland, I think there's something in the water there.

42
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.439
I'm not sure we have our very own Eric. How

43
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:48.080
you doing tonight?

44
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:48.400
Eric?

45
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.439
I am doing quite well.

46
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.240
Jim.

47
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.199
I'm absolutely positive there is something in the water here.

48
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:01.719
I may have put it there, can't exactly be here.

49
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.800
Wait a second, that why you're draining.

50
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.319
Well, it's why it was warm that time that we

51
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.960
went to the old swimming hole in the water there

52
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:11.719
and now.

53
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.479
Too much moldy cheese for David.

54
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.120
That was too much raid, is what that was.

55
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.680
Yeah. So we are live right now, guys, which means

56
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.960

it catches my eye. If you see a heart next

78
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.839

are going to be featured in a future fan shout out,

80
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.199

81
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.680
globe knows that not only do you listen to Trek dragging,

82
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.079

83
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.439
great stuff over there, and head over there and find out.

84
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.879
So tonight we're going to be talking about Star Trek

85
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.800
Lower Deck, season five episode. It's the best exotic Nannite

86
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:04.480
hotel and a farewell to farms, some great stuff here.

87
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.759
We don't have our Star Trek birthdays. You don't want

88
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.240
to miss our fan shout outs, and hopefully we'll have

89
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:11.839
some time to get around to a little bit of

90
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.480
Star Trek news. So, without any further ado, I'm going

91
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.759
to pass this mic over to Eric, and he's going

92
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:28.959
to get us started with our fan shout outs. Maybe, oh,

93
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:29.920
did we lose Eric?

94
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.120
He called in on phone. I believe I think he

95
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.959
is there a phone on hold. It's not unmuted.

96
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:41.000
Here we go.

97
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.319
There there is our very first fan shout out. Jim

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.639

167
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.480
hello to our friend Monique Rockliffe saying hello to us

168
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:24.639
and flashing us the always reassuring, livelong and prosper signs,

169
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:30.080
sending it in love. From Johannesburg, South Africa, moving over

170
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:32.080
heading north a little bit, we're going to go over

171
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.759
to Berlin, Germany, and we're gonna say hello to our

172
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:40.720
very very excited fan, Andreas Dettart in Berlin. It's just

173
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.559
reassuring to me to see how many Star Trek fans

174
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.360
there are globally, showing that there's this enthusiasm for science

175
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:53.759
fiction everywhere. Top contributor from the Port of Spain in Trinidad.

176
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.679
Down there in the Caribbean, we've got Angus Moseley there

177
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.240
with a an awesome looking symbol that looks to me

178
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:06.399
like it's like a medallion of strength, the medallion of

179
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.559
loyal viewership, is what I'm going to say that that is, Angus.

180
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.279
So it's great to hear from you. You are in

181
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.440
a very stormy part of the world right now. I

182
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.159
hope you're batting it down there in Trinidad. It's all

183
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.000
kinds of storms come in your way. But if you

184
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.559
live there for a while, I'm guessing you must be

185
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.679
used to it. Made of strong stuff. So thanks for

186
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.440
checking in Moseley, Angus Moseley, and wishing you the best.

187
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.320
And then heading back over to the continent again, we

188
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.960
go to Belgrade, Serbia with the flag complying proudly and

189
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.600
was saying hello to our friend Bronca x Novakovic who

190
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:44.720
is in Belgrade there. It is always great to hear

191
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.919
that Star Trek is an international sensation. Over all these

192
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.120
many years, people still like to check in and see

193
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.799
stories about a positive depiction of the future that unites

194
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.480
us all. Passing things over to you, Uncle Jim.

195
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.159
Right, So we're going to say hello, thank you, and

196
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.519
kapla to Chuck Weber who's listening to us in Studley,

197
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.519
Virginia right here in the U. S of A. We

198
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:16.519
also want to say thank you and hello to Gene Simmons,

199
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:21.440
who says Aloha from Hawaii. I'm pretty sure there's no

200
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:26.679
snow in Hawaii, though, yeah, I would assume pretty sure. Yeah.

201
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:32.320
I actually if you go to the Big Island where

202
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:36.720
Monarchia is, which is the big astronomical observatory, in fact,

203
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:41.679
it's snowed there this week. That's why they built the

204
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.919
observatory there because I don't know what the elevation is,

205
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.159
but it's very high out, dude, and allows for good

206
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.960
viewing of the stars. And I see it was snowing

207
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.039
in Monachia just this week. Nice.

208
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:55.600
Nice, wow. I never ever would have thought that in

209
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.559
a million years.

210
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.039
Is now.

211
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:08.120
It's not only fun, but it's educational too, right, That

212
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.279
is our model. I believe you never know what you're

213
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:17.480
gonna learn on trek talking in Hawaii. Well that's true.

214
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.279
We have troubles as well, so you never can tell.

215
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:26.639
And oh wow, and here comes Leah Leia is coming

216
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.159

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.120
Glenn Thomas Space who's listening to us in Washington State.

219
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.480

222
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.840

You know me like no Wins what you talk about

234
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:29.200
the show Man?

We try Just share your opinions with all of our

236

Worldwid tell us just what you saying.

238
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:49.679
Get together, we will alter Canara and robbulin An.

239
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.879
All right, So I have poll questions on our Facebook

240
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:59.080
page every week, and Eric, what do we have going

241
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.200
on for poll question this week?

242
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:02.039
Oh?

243
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.360
This is a good one, Jim. The question you asked

244
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.159
was did you like the way the Star Trek Discovery

245
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:14.639
Series finale sets up the Star Trek Short Treks episode clips?

246
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:14.879
Though?

247
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.320
And I will say that seventy percent of our site

248
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.840
users who answered the poll said absolutely, they love the

249
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:29.759
way that it set it up, and thirty percent said no. So, man,

250
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.519
I really would love to get into a conversation with

251
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:36.320
the folks who said no, because seventy thirty is no

252
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:41.039
runaway pole, so a significant You know, almost a third

253
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:44.320
of people who answered the poll didn't like the way

254
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.600
those two connected with each other. Now, if I had

255
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:52.240
to guess what it was, it would be something related

256
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:53.799
to the thing that I kind of felt about it,

257
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.039
which was that I loved that it did it, So

258
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:01.399
my answer would be absolutely, but little forced. You know,

259
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:03.639
It's like, oh, now we got to go take away

260
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.320
all the a that we put on here, and now

261
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:06.679
we've got to do all this and it kind of

262
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.919
felt like a a closure of a of a writing

263
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.759
thing that wasn't planned ahead of time. That had to

264
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.080
happen because it had to happen. I don't know what's

265
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:17.759
your take.

266
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.360
On that ball You mean like something perfunctory.

267
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:22.919
Yeah, exactly, that's a great word for it.

268
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.039
Yes, yeah, yeah, you know, it's it's tough because I

269
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.159
actually have not really spent a lot of time with

270
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:32.200
the short tracks. I've never seen Calypso, and yeah, so

271
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.600
it's I'm really not well suited to judge. I mean,

272
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.240
I seem to remember from what we talked about there

273
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.360
was a lot of the reference to the AI on

274
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:43.799
the ship, right, isn't that something that's going.

275
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.440
Yeah or yeah. Basically Calypso is kind of like a

276
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.320
retelling of this Shakespearean tale and it's Yeah, it's got

277
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.159
Zora who's been out there for a thousand years by herself,

278
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.399
and she captures this little pod and brings this person

279
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.440
aboard and they kind of form a relationship while he's there,

280
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:02.559
and yeah.

281
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.279
Also give me something to watch while I'm waiting for

282
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.839
the next live action he so, yeah, it's just one

283
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:11.599
of the things I missed and never got around to seeing.

284
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.200
So goes show up busy, we get, but yeah, so

285
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.960
I don't really have a dog in this fight man.

286
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:18.279
What about the rest of you guys, are you surprised

287
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.839
by their No, I'm wondering.

288
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.440
How much of that thirty percent are people who just

289
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.759
don't have to be Discovery.

290
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:34.440
Do you really think that they they're still Discovery naysayers

291
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:39.200
in this poll? Maybe probably that would be I guess bugus.

292
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:45.119
Well, yeah, yeah, I liked it. I liked I like

293
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.160
the way they I liked the way they They didn't

294
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.079
forget about it because if you remember al Kerksman said

295
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.279
when they before Discovery got canceled, that is that they

296
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.359
always planned on going back and answering the Copstoke question.

297
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.240
They weren't going to leave us hanging, So they were

298
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.160
they had a plan for that and the fifth season,

299
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:09.599
they were already getting ready to do the sixth season.

300
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.119
They thought they were going to do a six ki yeah,

301
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:14.759
and Pool they were canceled. So I think that they

302
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:17.279
had to go in and quickly, how can we how

303
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.240
can we do this whole thing and get it, get

304
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.839
it done in ten minutes and get it So that's

305
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:22.759
what they came off with.

306
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:25.599
Yeah, I agree with you completely because I feel like

307
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.400
the fifth season really got rushed.

308
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:30.880
Yeah, they just had to they get it out there,

309
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:32.119
So that's what they came.

310
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.079
But you know what that that finale did do, Jim,

311
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.960
was it answered a question that back when Calypso came out,

312
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:42.079
we had a lot of questions about and that was

313
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:48.519
when exactly was Calypso set And it wasn't until we

314
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.240
had Discovery and we knew that Discovery had launched itself

315
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.039
into the thirty second century, and then we knew that

316
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:01.440
Calypso took place one thousand years after that. That brings

317
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.720
us to the forty second century. That means that here's

318
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.039
your trivia stuff. When you go to trivia night and

319
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.240
people are like, what's the most you know, forward looking

320
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:13.920
example of star trek that we have that you know,

321
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:17.759
of any substance. We've got way beyond enterprise, j We've

322
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.279
got all the way up to enter forty second century

323
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.440
with Calypso.

324
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:28.319
Yep, well the generation even then, No, they were ash

325
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:29.799
right the regress.

326
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:30.880
Yeah.

327
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:41.039
Calypso was released November eighth, twenty eighteen. Season two of

328
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:47.720
Discovery started January seventeen, twenty nineteen. This was a This

329
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:49.839
was released after season one.

330
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:53.519
Yeah, so they were kind of planning ahead towards the future.

331
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:58.799
Yeah, we've been the same puck. Yeah, the flue of the.

332
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:02.640
Future in now. And that's what I'm saying. With season five,

333
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.960
the writers sort of said, Okay, let's bring this back around,

334
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:12.440
and that's why it was just just slightly perfunctory. As

335
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:16.039
we were saying earlier, they were.

336
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:20.000
Planning on trying to incorporate it into season six, and

337
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.400
often we find out there is no season six.

338
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:25.720
Trying to get your like sUAS Chevin, why, I was

339
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.559
just saying, like, what if it had been like a

340
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.240
thou if season six was a thousand years in the future,

341
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:32.880
then and you know, the Federation doesn't exist in its

342
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:37.039
own form anymore. Even though we just read formed like a.

343
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:41.400
I don't think they would have done anything like that.

344
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:43.799
I think what we saw in season five would have

345
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:46.119
cared on the season Hicks and Chevin, however far they

346
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:46.359
go in.

347
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:52.000
But yeah, the only thing that I felt about it

348
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:53.839
I did like that they wrapped it up. I did

349
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:57.920
like that Burnham was an admiral, she was married to Booker,

350
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:01.799
they had a son who was a captain. I liked.

351
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:04.640
I liked that she got the happy ending and stuff.

352
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:06.839
But the one thing that they didn't explain that I

353
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:09.799
was that why did they have to take the A

354
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.000
off the ship and why did they have to take

355
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:16.680
the technology away and put them put it back the

356
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.880
way it was? And the only answer for that is

357
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:24.160
because when they did Calypso, they didn't know they were

358
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:27.319
going to do that in the future, you know, So

359
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:29.240
they had to put the ship back to the way

360
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:31.920
it was in season two in order for it to

361
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:35.599
work in Calypso. And that's just a technicality thing, you know.

362
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:39.319
I don't think I don't think that the I don't

363
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:42.920
think that the Cannon police were too happy about that,

364
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:49.720
you know, but I didn't mind it, you know. So

365
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:54.079
another pole I had because it was a National Pet Day.

366
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:57.319
That's where this one came from. What was our next

367
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:00.359
poll question? Eric, what our.

368
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.119
Trek pet is your favorite? And you gave us five

369
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.759
to choose from. You've got Grudge, isis Livingstone? Spot and

370
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:12.279
Porthos and just in case answers.

371
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.680
Before we give the answers, let's find out what who

372
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.519
our favorite pet is? Of the of the choices, Well,

373
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.319
we'll start off with you, Paul, who's your favorite pet?

374
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:26.640
I would have to go with in pole position for

375
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:33.759
me would be Spot, and then right behind Spot for me, right,

376
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.160
A close second would be isis Spot?

377
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:39.119
And isis all right?

378
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.079
And the Spot all right?

379
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:40.759
How about your data?

380
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:42.559
Not so much a part of data?

381
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:47.759
So honestly my first choice when I did this one,

382
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.160
I did multiple choices, and I chose Porthohis was my

383
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:58.039
first choice, and then I went immediately to Spot. So yeah, yeah,

384
00:22:58.079 --> 00:22:58.759
that's the way I did.

385
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:04.559
All right. How about you, Charles, I would have.

386
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.640
Hit Grudge first and possibly a Spot second.

387
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:10.720
Round.

388
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.720
I was as much a cat person, but when Grudge

389
00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:16.200
came out, I was a bigger cat person by then.

390
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:20.519
And we did we did give away the Grudge books

391
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:23.039
and we had the author on the podcast, so yep,

392
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:25.559
you know Grudge. Grudge gets a leg up or a

393
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:26.759
tail up in that case.

394
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:31.640
And what about you, Eric, Well, I can't I think

395
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:35.319
argue with Spot. I agree that I think we all

396
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:38.160
see Spot as a reflection of data, and I love

397
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.039
all of Data's little conversations that he has with Spot

398
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:44.240
along the way you like while he holds the cat

399
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.480
up and looks him in the face. So Spot was

400
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:50.119
my number one choice, but I I'm a dog guy,

401
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:54.119
so Porthos is definitely second for me. Plus He's just

402
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:56.279
a cute little beagle that loves cheese. What's not to

403
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:56.960
like about that?

404
00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:58.920
You only dog on here?

405
00:23:59.119 --> 00:23:59.559
Interesting?

406
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:07.440
Yeah, dog in Star Trek, Yeah, well we do. I

407
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.559
don't think that horny dog that didn't have a name,

408
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:13.440
it was just a It wasn't what actually.

409
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.000
Does have a species name, which I can't think of

410
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:17.240
right now, but technically.

411
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.480
I thought were talking about There was another version of

412
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.279
the same pull up months before, and it included Picard's

413
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:28.720
dog number one from Picard, But I don't see that

414
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:30.839
dog mentioned in this iteration.

415
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:38.839
Of the pole. Yeah. I went with Grudge as my

416
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:45.240
number one because she's a queen and I like, to

417
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.759
me personally, I like to be the outlier. I like

418
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:51.559
to break them old. And I went with Livingston because

419
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.880
Livingston has been on every episode of Star Trek generation,

420
00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.640
the only pet that's always in the background, always in

421
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.119
the town. Anytime they're in the ready room, Livingston is there.

422
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:04.680
So I went with Livingston.

423
00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:08.039
I went with one simulated it.

424
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:13.119
Well, I just wonder if it's like a floating you know, computer,

425
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:15.000
But I mean, god.

426
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:17.920
That we were thinking about, like, what how many living

427
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:22.000
Stins have there been the next generation?

428
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:29.160
There's probably been a bunch. Now that we found out

429
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:32.119
what we thought for the pets, what did our Facebook

430
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:34.960
fans have to say to their favorite pets?

431
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:38.799
Well, Jim, two percent of our fans voted for Livingston

432
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:41.799
the fish Who's always there?

433
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:44.440
Three and I was one of those two percent.

434
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.519
Yeah, that's so maybe one person who wasn't Jim, or

435
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:54.039
maybe that was Jim's vote. I'm not sure. Three percent

436
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:58.160
of the people voted for isis Gary Seven's cat who

437
00:25:58.599 --> 00:25:59.680
isn't really a cat?

438
00:25:59.759 --> 00:25:59.880
So?

439
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.160
And isn't it really a pet? I don't think. I

440
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:06.039
know there's a whole comic about that, so I digress.

441
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:12.920
Twenty one percent of the poll answers liked Grudge the

442
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.519
cat or cats actually because there's a couple of grudges

443
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:21.279
out there. Twenty four just slightly more percent went for Porthos,

444
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:25.079
good Old Captain Archer's lovely beagle. But a full fifty

445
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.640
percent of those who answered the poll did say we

446
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:32.599
love Spot the pretty pretty cat. Spot on the good

447
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:34.480
cat the pretty cats.

448
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:37.759
Yep. And I like to do three polls, but we

449
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:39.920
have to do two episodes, so I cut it down

450
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.599
to only two this week. So if you guys are interested,

451
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:46.279
head over to our Facebook page and participate in our polls.

452
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:48.680
We would love to hear what you have to say.

453
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:58.880
And now it's time for our cadet training with Charles.

454
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:03.640
So what Charles does for you, guys, is he goes

455
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.279
through each one of the episodes and then he goes

456
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:11.119
back and he finds points through the plethora of Star

457
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.119
Trek episodes out there that will relate to the one

458
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.640
we're about to talk about. So take it away, Charles.

459
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:21.400
All right, I know I left a few out and

460
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:27.680
the first one, especially, boy, was it packed with two

461
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:33.359
a lot of tng TG Evolution Season three, episode one,

462
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:38.400
the first time you've ever heard about Nan Nights and

463
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:44.680
it was a Redsley Crusher experiment that got loose. Dn

464
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:50.720
Cappins Holiday season three episode nineteen our first reference for

465
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:59.720
Risa and definitely a ship looks very similar to Risa

466
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:05.119
out in the Crown. That Wyamber had a ski boy

467
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:08.359
that sure looked a lot like the Paramount Mountain in

468
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:13.799
the logo. Some of the casinos talked about having Dixon

469
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:22.160
Hill machines, So KG The Big Guys Season one, episode twelve,

470
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:29.079

references to the movie Apocalypse. Now DS nine Jadzia Dax

after the first reference of the word tng The Ekaitar

494
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:54.920
a painstick and that's exactly what they were called. And

495
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:59.960
tng where no one has gone before. Season one, episode six,

496
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:05.559
the first reference of a tar as they had worst

497
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:09.799
pets appear on the ship. Now there was a run

498
00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:16.640
onto a creature similar and jar Trek three but was

499
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.359
not actually named right.

500
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:22.920
Everyone assumes that that that was a targ, but they'd

501
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:27.400
never called it a targ, that that name was never used.

502
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:30.599
It was so we don't, you know, we don't know

503
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.480
if that was a targ or not. It didn't look

504
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.480
like the traditional tard that we're used to. So at

505
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:42.359
any rate, guys, every week, on our Facebook page at

506
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:44.559
around coffee time, because I don't want to get to

507
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:48.559
trouble at work, around ten am Eastern time, I'll put

508
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.279
up a poll on our Facebook page and I'll ask you, guys,

509
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:54.440
what did you think about this week's episode? So Eric,

510
00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:55.920
you want to take it away?

511
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:01.200
Sure for this first episode here the best exist Nannite Hotel.

512
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.039
Kevin Bennis Are, one of our many top contributors, said,

513
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:07.640
just watch this episode today. It looks like to Lynn

514
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.920
almost had a smile on her face playing the tubes.

515
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:14.519
So that is no one to ten there, but sounds

516
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:17.880
like he liked it. John Hughes said, the horror, the horror.

517
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:23.000
Jeremiah Meeks Talk con Trigger said great episode. I'm so

518
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:26.759
excited to see what comes next through the fissure. Give

519
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:30.799
me either XO one or I think he means n

520
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:34.519
x O one or enterprise d heck, I'd be happy

521
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:39.680
with f sounds like Jeremiah just wants the enterprise. Keegan

522
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:42.440
Hall said, how did he manage to get burnt from

523
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:46.799
the smart artificial sun? Maybe we can talk about that.

524
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.720
Brian Clanning, a rising contributor, said, well it is better

525
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:52.400
than milking space whils.

526
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:56.680
We're getting back on the milk and again for Paul.

527
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.039
Jessica Williams, another rising contributor, said, I feel like ta

528
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:08.519
Lynn was very subtly jealous the way she was like Mariner,

529
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:10.720
I find it odd that you never mentioned that you

530
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:14.200
had a girlfriend. Sounds very bulk of the sassy side eye.

531
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:21.240
I agree, Jessica Christian Housler, another Rising contributor, said, I

532
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:23.759
found this one not as good and funny as the

533
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:27.440
first two episodes. Somehow the pacing felt a little bit wobbly,

534
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:32.200
but then it resolved the Jarriner issue pretty well and

535
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:35.480
it added more depth to Tallinn's character. I love the

536
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:38.839
references to Apocalypse Now and the James Bond movies. The

537
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:42.599
ski chase not my favorite episode, but definitely not a

538
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:46.279
bad one either. Oh and I'd ship both a Tallnn

539
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:50.680
Mariner or a Tallinn Tendy relationship, though to Maren would

540
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:56.240
seem a bit more logical to me. Thanks Christian, That's awesome.

541
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:01.200
And last, but not least, Chris Morrow says Admiral needs

542
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:03.920
to get pulling strings to get Boimler his old ship

543
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:07.039
to go milking space creatures.

544
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:11.519
I com started something last week with the milk thing.

545
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.360
Is possible, It is very possible. So yeah, this week,

546
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:17.599
it looks like of all of the fans who responded

547
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:20.199
to our poll this week, we have a combined fans

548
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:26.920
score of eight point six, So eight point six pretty good, not.

549
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:30.559
Bad at all, not bad at all. So do we

550
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:32.320
want to do that one and then come back to this?

551
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:33.800
Do we want to do them both. Now, what do

552
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:34.119
you think?

553
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:38.280
What have we been doing lately? We've been doing them

554
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:40.960
one after the other, Right, So I say you.

555
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:44.840
Mean as far as reading the fan scores, yeah, I

556
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:46.719
think we should split them up or it's just it's

557
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:48.480
just becomes a big blur dude.

558
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:51.239
Yep. All right. So then at this point we'll have

559
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:53.880
Paul jump in and he can give us a quick

560
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:56.280
rundown of the episode.

561
00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:59.960
Okay, all right, Well we're talking about The Best Exotic

562
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:03.360
Nite Hotel, where the Lower Deckers hunt nanites on a

563
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:08.159
resort deep in space. Right, and the episode title is

564
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:12.440
of course playfully tweaking the twenty eleven British comedy The

565
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:15.960
Best Exotic Marygold Hotel for those who didn't get the

566
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:18.440
reference there. But they're pretty much always trying to work

567
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:21.599
in a pun with the episode titles to reference something else,

568
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:26.320
because that is what Lower Decks is all about, referencing

569
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:28.519
something else. Right, So they don't really do a lot

570
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.760
of original things on the show. They're having fun riffing

571
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:34.239
on other stuff. So the whole point here is they're

572
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.400
doing a mission to capture some kind of growing nanite

573
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:41.880
cluster that's loose on this big cruise ship, the Cosmic Duchess, right,

574
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:48.159
and then things get crazy when Jennifer joins right, who's

575
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:51.320
apparently unaware that she and Mariner broke up a couple

576
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:56.360
of seasons ago. It's really nice that we have Tendy

577
00:35:56.440 --> 00:36:00.840
and Rutherford back together, right, I think that's really nice. Uh,

578
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:07.239
definitely a good thing there. And uh, there's not a

579
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:10.559
lot for me to talk about for this particular episode, guys.

580
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:12.800
I'd rather save a lot of it for what's coming next.

581
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:17.480
It was okay, I mean, Boymler is excited to go

582
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:21.920
join Ransom for this undercover mission, right, But uh, it's

583
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:24.719
all about beachwear and a lot of weird kind of

584
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:29.599
you know, half baked references there. As Charles intimated, a

585
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:32.039
lot of what we're doing here is kind of going

586
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:36.039
in and riffing off of Apocalypse Now in kind of

587
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:37.559
a left handed way.

588
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:38.039
Right.

589
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:42.199
The uh, the the Admiral is named after a screenwriter,

590
00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:47.679
crazy right winging screenwriter, John Millius. It's definitely a unique

591
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:50.360
gat in the annals of Hollywood there. But he's the

592
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.840
guy who wrote Apocalypse Now got an oscar for it.

593
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:57.840
So I'm not really sure where the you know, the

594
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.760
sunburn thing came from that they were working there and

595
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:06.559
very odd Crag looks to be inspired by the Marvel

596
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:12.000
Universe's cord from uh, you know, the MCU. It was

597
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:15.519
what I could say. I think for me, this wasn't

598
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:20.719
as a very successful episode. I find it a little tedious.

599
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:24.400
Uh gonna sound like I'm on repeat from from last week.

600
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:28.239
But for me, what kind of saved it was to Lynn. Right,

601
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:33.239
I think that Gabrielle Ruiz is just great. I liked

602
00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:34.960
it in this episode we got a little bit more

603
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.320
of insight into how she's not really as completely in

604
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:39.840
control of everything with herself as we might think. Right,

605
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:42.360
I thought that was it was really fun. She makes

606
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:45.760
a lot of cutting remarks about Mariner's bad communication skills

607
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:50.280
and super extra bonus points for me for her use

608
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:53.960
of the word propinquity, which I thought was charming and delightful.

609
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:57.920
So I think d Lynn continues to be the MVP

610
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:01.639
of this series. Uh, And I was started to get

611
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:06.920
a little bit less than confident about where we were

612
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:10.880
heading into this season. But I will save the second

613
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:13.320
half of that sentence until we get to the next episode.

614
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.639
So it was okay, but a lot of stuff that

615
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:19.159
just didn't really go anywhere.

616
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:22.719
The the whole.

617
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:29.320
Sorry Jennifer thing, right, Jennifer, isn't it? The whole Jennifer

618
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:33.559
thing was just not well written. I find the banter

619
00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:36.960
between her and Mariner just really.

620
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:39.480
Not funny.

621
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:41.920
It's just kind of dry, you know, and the whole

622
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:44.360
home babe okay, honey, and all this stuff, and I

623
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:46.679
just it's just what were you getting at?

624
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:47.440
You know?

625
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:51.719
It definitely wasn't very funny, I thought, so not a

626
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.679
success and and kind of I found this episode war

627
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:57.199
its welcome out for me really fast, and there was

628
00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:00.719
a lot of stick that just seemed really predictable. So

629
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:04.960
I'd rather save most of my airtime for the next episode,

630
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:09.719
if that's okay. I would give this a six, I think,

631
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:11.159
And I feel like I'm kind of being a little

632
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.480
generous but.

633
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:14.599
Not so great.

634
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:18.199
I'm just happy to give it a six and move

635
00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:20.719
on would be where I'm coming from. There, So not

636
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:22.960
a lot else to say, So thanks, all.

637
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.760
Right, we got a fix from Paul, how about you, David?

638
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.400
So this episode I just watched right before the show.

639
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:33.880
In fact, I couldn't even finish the show because we

640
00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:39.880
were airing right about now. But so the the episode

641
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:46.199
I actually liked a lot. I did like the whole

642
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:53.159
what's the word? Okay, So did anyone else get the

643
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:56.920
vibe of they were kind of like doing like a

644
00:39:56.960 --> 00:40:01.239
Ghostbuster sing where they were hunting a ghost innocent?

645
00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:03.639
Hm?

646
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.840
I mean that occur? I guess, yeah.

647
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:08.239
Yeah.

648
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:10.199
It was just the idea that they had like these

649
00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:12.239
little guns that they were carrying, and it looks like

650
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:14.559
they had somewhat of a backpack on their back, and

651
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:18.000
I was just like that looked really similar to Ghostbusters,

652
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:20.920
and so I don't know, I mean yeah, to think

653
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:23.079
kept getting bigger and bigger, and it was really funny

654
00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:29.159
that the ending and what turned out. But I actually

655
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:31.960
really enjoyed it. This was one of my favorite episodes

656
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:36.920
that I've seen so far, And to me, I, okay,

657
00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:39.440
this show is goting to become really famous for a

658
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:44.039
lot of made up words like what's a glumpish? Sounds

659
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:46.639
like something from Woliwanka or something. So I don't know,

660
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:50.639
but I liked the little word players they do, and

661
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:57.679
I liked how to Lenn did the you know, the

662
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.280
the what Vulkans would do waging a one eye out

663
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:05.239
up when she got handed the what would that crog uh,

664
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:12.000
the rocks Vibe music, I think Tube door whatever. Yeah, yeah,

665
00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:16.079
so I I enjoyed that, and it would I do

666
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:18.159
agree with Paul. It was kind of predictable, but it

667
00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:21.239
was a predictable in a fun sense. It was the

668
00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:24.719
humor was great. I don't like what lower decks She's

669
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:29.400
been doing so far with their humor. And but that

670
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:33.719
ending there where they finally find what looks like Voyagers

671
00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:37.119
his little microscopic trip and they said that they've been

672
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:39.239
through hell for a month and then they're like a

673
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:42.079
month if anybody doesn't know, that's the reference to the

674
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:46.960
Year of Hell episode for Voyager. Yes, so I thought

675
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:51.880
that was really well done. And uh, of all this

676
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:55.320
this episode, I didn't mind too much of the banter

677
00:41:55.559 --> 00:42:00.239
between Marina and Jennifer. I thought it would actually all

678
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.800
done in a sense. But to me, I don't know

679
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:07.639
that's I'm not too much in the whole uh banter

680
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:13.039
of people's relationships anyways. But to me, I I really

681
00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:18.119
enjoyed this episode two point where it would be probably

682
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:23.079
oh and before I forget my uh, before I score it,

683
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:25.840
I'm gonna just say my favorite part in this entire episode,

684
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:30.039
which when Boimler was chasing after which I thought was

685
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.480
supposed to be called a denobulin, but they called it

686
00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:35.519
a denobulin, which I thought was a little off of me.

687
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:42.800
So when he was chasing a nobula now down the cliff,

688
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:44.599
I just love to see where he just kind of

689
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:48.760
screaming all the way down. Oh to me, I just

690
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:51.320
I couldn't double lapping. But uh yeah, so to me,

691
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:52.880
I'm gonna be giving this one in eight.

692
00:42:56.920 --> 00:43:00.639
Wow, okay, cool, but we haven't eight. We a six?

693
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:02.880
Do you want to go next? Charles?

694
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:08.159
Sure, okay, David Rex David actually come in in a

695
00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:09.320
couple of the Easter eggs.

696
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:10.159
I did leave off.

697
00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:15.320
Yes, there was a bit of a Ghostbusters vibe, and

698
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:21.360
I believe it with fir Trek six where Kirk hit

699
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:28.639
somebody in a kneecap and it said, oh you hit

700
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:32.360
them and hit him the genitals. So there are quat

701
00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:38.199
if you references left off one of the things that

702
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:46.039
they might have thrown people off. But the nannies created

703
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:47.800
a big cube.

704
00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:51.239
It was the shape of whatever that shape was. An

705
00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:53.079
I show d shin or something like that.

706
00:43:54.559 --> 00:44:00.400
I pthhedrine. Has anybody ever heard of an I cocy?

707
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:01.519
Yeah?

708
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:02.480
Sure, it's a D twenty.

709
00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:07.679
Yep, it's a D twenty. I love that reference. They

710
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.480
are the fact that that, oh yeah, they're playing twenty,

711
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:15.079
so it's okay. It's a bit of a D and

712
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:19.599
D reference. I liked the idea that they took back

713
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:24.400
and said, Okay, let's go to DS nine, let's go

714
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:30.559
to cry let's go get some cultures that we've spent

715
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:38.719
one episode on or referenced, and back and revisit them.

716
00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:42.320
That's one of the things I like that uh lower

717
00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:45.280
Decks can do. They can go back and say, okay,

718
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:52.559
they were referenced once, mannit. I think we're only referenced

719
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:59.320
a couple of times yet, Okay, let's go ahead and

720
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:04.760
bring them back again. Let's reference Dickton Hill.

721
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:07.119
Ah.

722
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:13.679
Okay. There's some TNG fans with that one. I'm not

723
00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:16.280
sure if I've ever seen Apocalypse Now or it's been

724
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:18.639
so long till other have seen it. I didn't understand

725
00:45:18.679 --> 00:45:21.760
the references though, I didn't look them up, which was

726
00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:25.159
nice to see that they. I gather there's some thing

727
00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:29.320
to that movie as well to put references in episode.

728
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:37.320
I think the relationship story kind of drug on a

729
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:43.119
little bit too long, though at least it's come to

730
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:51.800
a finale and we're done with it. And this one

731
00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:56.440
kind of led us to saying, oh, they turned around

732
00:45:56.440 --> 00:46:03.480
and referenced the season one episode, and I didn't think

733
00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:08.119
much of it though I saw the next episode. But

734
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:11.280
I think I'm gonna go with this one and agree

735
00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:16.599
with David, and I think this was a good eight.

736
00:46:18.840 --> 00:46:21.559
All right? Six eight eight? What do you think? Eric,

737
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:23.039
I wanna chime in.

738
00:46:23.719 --> 00:46:27.079
Ooh sure, yeah. I mean, I'm a little bit more

739
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:29.039
in the Paul camp here. It's hard for me to

740
00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:31.159
find cool stuff to talk about that isn't just a

741
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:35.039
reference to some other episode. I will say that, like

742
00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:39.119
what Paul said, Talynn is my hero. She says that line.

743
00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:40.719
I wrote it down here because I thought it was

744
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:43.360
so sweet. She said, despite the increase in cheering, your

745
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:46.760
presence is a comfort. She says that to Tende when

746
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:48.840
she comes back, and it's just like so sweet, right,

747
00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:51.760
It's like a cool, like Vulcan way to say something

748
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:57.119
that's very very nice. So yeah, childs just talking about

749
00:46:57.119 --> 00:47:01.559
like revisiting references and stuff. I I guess what I want.

750
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:05.079
What when Lower Decks is really successful is when they

751
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:07.360
take an old idea and they bring it and then

752
00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:12.039
they really explore it. This episode for me was just

753
00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:14.920
a series of like references, just like bam bam, bam,

754
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:17.800
bam bam. And I was supposed to like the episode

755
00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:21.440
because I got all the references, but there wasn't enough

756
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:24.000
going on in the episode for me to really like it.

757
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:28.960
And in fact, I was unsatisfied with the whole like

758
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:33.719
Jennifer breakup thing, and then this episode kind of tried

759
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:40.360
to fix it, and I'm still unsatisfied. It's just like, okay,

760
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:42.360
So what it did a good job of was it

761
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:44.760
did a good job of showing two people who understand

762
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:49.400
that they don't belong together and partying amicably, right, Like,

763
00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:52.159
that's that's a good lesson in life. That's a good

764
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:56.079
thing to show on television. That can happen. But I

765
00:47:56.119 --> 00:48:00.800
don't know, they just I feel like the whole like

766
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:03.719
Jennifer Mariner thing could have been something cool and then

767
00:48:03.719 --> 00:48:05.400
they just kind of like dropped the ball a little

768
00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:09.159
bit and it didn't really go anywhere. So I don't

769
00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:11.119
think I have too much else to say about this episode.

770
00:48:11.119 --> 00:48:13.920
So I'm gonna give this one a sixth.

771
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:18.639
And move along home, all right, Move along home, So

772
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:22.760
you know, I think I'm with Paul and Eric on

773
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:27.440
this one. I didn't really care too much for the

774
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:31.880
the nanite thing becoming giant nanites. It reminded me of

775
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:35.480
the triples in the CIF episode where they just kept

776
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:38.360
growing and growing and growing. I didn't really care for

777
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:44.159
that much at all. So but but the evil Admiral

778
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:48.400
thing going being evil because they milked cows was awesome.

779
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:51.800
They could make you.

780
00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:56.159
Make you evil because you have to milk space cows.

781
00:48:56.639 --> 00:48:59.880
So I thought that got a chuckle out of me

782
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:06.239
for sure. So so so that was cool. The Jennifer thing,

783
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:10.639
I was really upset when Jennifer just disappeared last season,

784
00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:13.679
and I thought it was a cop out on behalf

785
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:15.960
of the show. It's like, let's just get rid of

786
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:20.400
the the lgbt Q I A plus representation completely on

787
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:23.199
the show and take her away and not mention why

788
00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:25.840
we're just gonna she's gonna go away. And I didn't

789
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:29.079
like that. The fact that she came back, though, I

790
00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:31.400
did like, and the fact that they tried to give

791
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:34.239
you closure and they tried to say, look, she's still here,

792
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.119
here she is. So I liked the fact that they

793
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:42.519
brought her back. I wasn't necessarily too happy with the

794
00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:46.000
way it worked out. I was very happy that she

795
00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:50.960
was there because Star Trek needs representation, so that's really

796
00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:54.159
important to me. So having her there was great. Uh

797
00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:58.159
the micro Voyager that was cool too, But I just

798
00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:03.039
couldn't deal with this this giant like nannite bubble rolling

799
00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:06.280
around and sucking people in and they're just floating around

800
00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:10.559
inside this nanite bubble type of deal. Aug, what the hell?

801
00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:14.960
So I didn't care for that at all. So yeah,

802
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:17.840
I'm gonna save everything for the next one. In case

803
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:22.480
you guys didn't know, I'm gonna I'm gonna drop a

804
00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:27.079
I'm gonna drop a six point one on this one.

805
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:29.079
I'm gonna give it an extra point one just because

806
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:33.760
of the Jennifer thing. So that's that's my score. I

807
00:50:33.760 --> 00:50:36.960
think we're gonna be significantly lower though, than our fans,

808
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:40.400
who gave it an eight point six. So what do

809
00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:44.199
we come up with, Charles, Yeah.

810
00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:48.480
We were definitely lower with the fans, with the fans

811
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:53.400
picking an eight point six and the house doing is

812
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:54.320
point eight.

813
00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:57.400
Wo wow, that is quite a bit lower.

814
00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:01.159
But I will asso make one thing. I forgot to

815
00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:04.800
mention one thing in this episode I thought was interesting

816
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:10.960
reactions to music, that she has a love of some

817
00:51:11.199 --> 00:51:16.840
different at least one kind of music, and tendy hands

818
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:19.199
for an autograph. He's like, well, what do I do

819
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:26.599
with this thing? It's been modified I think for a report,

820
00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:29.519
and like, oh, we can suppose everything, Like now I'll

821
00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:35.760
put my It's like, yeah, I forgot that. It's like, oh,

822
00:51:35.880 --> 00:51:37.960
it has a bit of importance too, but she doesn't

823
00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:41.679
want to admit it.

824
00:51:41.079 --> 00:51:42.519
But I forgot.

825
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:46.199
But I think the reference is that she fond over

826
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:51.960
this music, played the incident to help defeat the Nanites,

827
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:58.760
and then apologize. The musician found out actually is a

828
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:04.840
follower of Vulcan religions and some of their beliefs.

829
00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:08.880
I don't think it's so much as she's liking the music. Man,

830
00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:11.280
this is she's hot for krogue, dude. That's that was

831
00:52:11.400 --> 00:52:14.559
what I ought. Yeah, I mean, that's that's she's not

832
00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:17.960
a music afficionado. She's way into krogue, man, I mean,

833
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:21.000
that's what that's what was going on. Let's be let's

834
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:26.519
be let's put it out there, dude, far on far

835
00:52:26.719 --> 00:52:27.280
which is.

836
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:32.519
Very Unvulcan, like mm hmm, which I didn't like to

837
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:34.199
make her character looks different.

838
00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:36.679
Maybe she's half amulant.

839
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:40.239
Maybe we're going to see her move into pond far

840
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:43.960
as the season continues, let's think of open up our minds.

841
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:48.400
Man. Yeah, all right, so that wraps up.

842
00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:48.639
Now.

843
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:54.119
I'm anxious. I'm really anxious to get to this next one. So, uh, Eric,

844
00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:56.480
you want to tell us what the fans thought about

845
00:52:56.800 --> 00:52:58.199
a Farewell to Farms?

846
00:52:59.119 --> 00:52:59.639
You bet?

847
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:04.400
Isaac Leal, a top contributors, said the pronunciation of klowokan

848
00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:10.760
miggly mus species made me laugh too, Rich Smith and

849
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:13.599
All Star contributors, and I was disappointed. To be honest,

850
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:15.719
I don't think Miggeli Mu is a strong enough character

851
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:19.039
to warrant such an episode. A Tana backstory would have

852
00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:24.880
been better, in my opinion. Johnny River Reavas excuse me,

853
00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:27.480
said they are really stepping it up this season. I

854
00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:31.360
especially loved how Boimler was fanboying over everything cling on,

855
00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:32.719
including the pain.

856
00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:33.440
He was suffering.

857
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:41.960
Quarantina Kline said, quote what crawled up her boob window

858
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:45.440
and die is one of my all time favorite lines.

859
00:53:45.800 --> 00:53:58.360
Me too, I love oh all right.

860
00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:02.440
Tyler Blackwell, another All Star contributors, said it's all the

861
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:07.159
Beard baby. In all seriousness, Boimler was undoubtedly the MVP

862
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:11.239
of the team. Knowing obscure and ancient plingon history and

863
00:54:11.360 --> 00:54:16.320
customs paid off. Dustin Daniels said, I love doctor Miglimu.

864
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:18.719
He might not be the counselor we need, but he's

865
00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:24.400
the one we've got. Gilman Long said, really enjoyed this episode,

866
00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:27.079
except there was no to Lin. We did get another

867
00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:29.360
hint about the riffs, but it was pretty minor and

868
00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:31.719
just served as a plot device within the context of

869
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:35.760
the episode. Nice to see ma A again. The ld

870
00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:40.400
Klingons are fun and last and at least Michael Sepoto

871
00:54:41.039 --> 00:54:47.599
Ungato said, no usual opening sequence seems strange but fitting.

872
00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:53.000
No usual opening sequence seemed strange but fitting. What am

873
00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:56.199
I missing? There no usual openings.

874
00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:58.360
They didn't have the usual opening sequence. They basically just

875
00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:00.920
started showing these pictures.

876
00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:03.920
Of the world.

877
00:55:05.039 --> 00:55:07.639
It was yeah, and I noticed that, and I was like, oh,

878
00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:09.360
the only other time they ever did that on was

879
00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:10.199
on an enterprise.

880
00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:12.960
Yeah, you're right. So they began with this really nice

881
00:55:13.039 --> 00:55:18.239
kind of cinematic pastoral farming vibe, right, peaceful, appealingly rendered

882
00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:21.039
great mood. It said that it was really surprising that,

883
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:23.119
oh this has grown us. Wow, who knew? So it

884
00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:24.960
was very different, but I think it worked.

885
00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:27.760
And I really liked the music on that one too.

886
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:29.639
That would really relaxing sounding.

887
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:34.559
Okay that we all have We all love that that

888
00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:37.960
alternate opening. Thanks Michael. I couldn't remember that that's what happened,

889
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:42.239
but yeah, you're absolutely right. All Thanks and the case guys.

890
00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:45.599
That gives us a combined fan score for this episode

891
00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:49.079
of zero point eight, which is the highest score that

892
00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:51.679
we have had the entire season so far from our fans.

893
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:55.519
Nice, well, it's gonna it's gonna get higher when when

894
00:55:55.519 --> 00:55:56.440
then we get around to me?

895
00:55:56.679 --> 00:56:01.920
So now, Jim, you also cannot say anything above ten

896
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:04.679
or anything you say above ten is average to a ten,

897
00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:06.079
just so you know what.

898
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:09.079
Yes, I was gonna go with.

899
00:56:10.079 --> 00:56:14.800
Wait to telegraph the suspense, Jim, I'm telling you a million.

900
00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:16.480
What do you really think?

901
00:56:16.599 --> 00:56:16.800
Yeah?

902
00:56:16.840 --> 00:56:19.440
Okay, yeah, I tule.

903
00:56:20.280 --> 00:56:24.760
Shall we begin, Paul dive right in and get us

904
00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:27.599
started on this awesomeness all right? Man?

905
00:56:27.760 --> 00:56:30.920
So, a farewell to Farms is of course for anyone

906
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:33.159
who likes student make it out of the third grade.

907
00:56:33.320 --> 00:56:37.639
A reference to the famous Ernest Hemingway novel of Farewell

908
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:39.960
to Arms, so sweet to see because of course we

909
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:44.599
have to roof on something for me. Easily the best

910
00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:48.119
episode of the season so far, easily. This is what

911
00:56:48.320 --> 00:56:51.920
I watched this show to get is actual comedy, okay,

912
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:56.039
and not a lot of self referential nonsense. I thought

913
00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:59.800
this was just extremely well structured, right. I love the opening,

914
00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:03.000
but basically there was just not the usual deal. They

915
00:57:03.039 --> 00:57:08.360
did this really nice, appealingly rendered cinematic depiction, and we're like, hey,

916
00:57:08.360 --> 00:57:11.320
we're on a farm here with funny kling on farmers

917
00:57:11.440 --> 00:57:17.119
and you know Malor's you know, the sassy farmer brother.

918
00:57:17.239 --> 00:57:20.559
I mean, he was hilarious. You know, the doufhasy, you know,

919
00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:24.760
big muscular brother. I just thought that was hilarious, right,

920
00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:28.360
And you know, I mean, and I if every time

921
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:30.719
somebody said patak it was a drinking game, I would

922
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:31.480
be on the floor.

923
00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:33.440
And I so many times.

924
00:57:33.480 --> 00:57:36.800
There's so many fun you frottern noise with starfiny humans.

925
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:39.800
I mean, it was just, you know, a lot of

926
00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:43.519
really great comedy in here, all over the place, and

927
00:57:43.840 --> 00:57:47.079
really good dialogue. This is what I watched the show

928
00:57:47.840 --> 00:57:50.400
to get, right, And now we know forever whenever we

929
00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:52.960
look at Larsa and Betor, we now know that their

930
00:57:53.719 --> 00:57:56.880
costumes can be referred to as having boob windows, which

931
00:57:56.920 --> 00:58:01.119
is just can has great to have that beats you know,

932
00:58:01.239 --> 00:58:04.079
formerly canon. Now we're crawled up a boom window. And

933
00:58:04.239 --> 00:58:06.639
I mean that was you know, that was just great.

934
00:58:07.199 --> 00:58:11.039
You know some really really funny, funny lines experience speech.

935
00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:15.400
I mean, you want to just say that in traffic

936
00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:17.840
every time somebody cuts you off, now, right, I mean

937
00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:20.559
that was just great. Your presence is a burden.

938
00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:23.679
Great Now.

939
00:58:23.719 --> 00:58:26.760
I know some people, perhaps other tru experts on this show,

940
00:58:26.840 --> 00:58:30.559
didn't like to the bet story about the Klowakian food critics,

941
00:58:30.599 --> 00:58:33.880
but as somebody who has spent time in their past

942
00:58:33.960 --> 00:58:36.960
waiting on Upper east Side food critics, let me tell

943
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:41.280
you it was a spot on hilarious and this and

944
00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:43.639
I see a lot of people with the same demeanor

945
00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:47.559
as the Klowakian food critics that have unfortunately made their

946
00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:53.400
way into the fan community with equally obnoxious, uh you know,

947
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:58.880
high falutin assessments of various episodes and such catch me

948
00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:03.719
as I performatively faint. I just thought that was hilarious, right,

949
00:59:03.880 --> 00:59:08.559
I'm you know, really really great. I loved it when

950
00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:10.639
we got into the mix though. I mean, that's just

951
00:59:10.760 --> 00:59:13.159
like you gotta have contrast, right, you have a little

952
00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:16.320
side b story. It gave you know, doctor Meeglimo something

953
00:59:16.360 --> 00:59:18.280
to do. It was fine, it was harmless. I thought

954
00:59:18.280 --> 00:59:20.920
it was pretty funny as a whole. But the real

955
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:22.679
meat and potatoes of this stuff is all the stuff

956
00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:25.639
with the Klingons, right, and especially when you're going up

957
00:59:25.679 --> 00:59:31.159
against the Oversight Council, which is hilarious that we're really

958
00:59:31.159 --> 00:59:35.159
deconstructing a lot of the stuff that we saw an

959
00:59:35.239 --> 00:59:38.760
tig with the Klingons, right, and all the good stuff there.

960
00:59:38.760 --> 00:59:40.039
I don't want to get too much into it because

961
00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:42.480
I know Uncle Jim's gonna have way too much fun

962
00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:43.039
going to that.

963
00:59:43.079 --> 00:59:43.719
But the fact that.

964
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:47.840
There's now an oversight council was, you know, just it

965
00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:50.360
made this particular chat each very happy. I thought it

966
00:59:50.400 --> 00:59:53.280
was hilarious. You know, I threw my back out disemboweling

967
00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:58.719
a romulent spy. I mean, you know, and that you

968
00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:02.599
were getting so funny that the or you know, the

969
01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:05.360
one of the tests is the right of unending pain.

970
01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:09.559
I mean, it's just hysterical and and big points that

971
01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:12.119
when we had you know, a good Klingon mono a

972
01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:16.719
mono fight. Yes, we saw purple blood. Thank you, thank you, thank.

973
01:00:16.519 --> 01:00:16.920
You for that.

974
01:00:17.119 --> 01:00:20.199
I thought that was a nice rift there. And then

975
01:00:20.239 --> 01:00:23.639
the episode ends with what is evidently meant to be

976
01:00:23.800 --> 01:00:28.440
in emerging ongoing thread throughout all the seasons episodes of

977
01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:30.920
these dimensional rifts showing up, which we haven't gotten a

978
01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:34.280
lot of detail about yet, but we kind of ended

979
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:36.159
on that note saying, Okay, this is going to be

980
01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:39.199
a through line through season five episodes. Now we've pretty

981
01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:41.800
much made that clear, so we're paying attention to what

982
01:00:41.880 --> 01:00:43.960
that went. But it didn't get in the way of

983
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:47.199
the humor, right and the fact that you know, I'm sorry,

984
01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:50.280
every single season of what we're season five now right

985
01:00:50.320 --> 01:00:55.599
on the lower das, right, Yeah, but every time they

986
01:00:55.960 --> 01:00:58.480
put Klingon's front and center on this show, you get

987
01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:00.360
comedy gold. I mean, that is pretty much. It's been

988
01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:03.880
a consistent thing for me, and I wish they would

989
01:01:03.880 --> 01:01:06.320
do more often. They really get how to riff on

990
01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:10.760
the Klingon, sticking themselves so seriously and making the violent

991
01:01:10.800 --> 01:01:13.599
stuff just extreme and over the top, and it's funny

992
01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:15.079
as hell when they do it. I mean, I just

993
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:18.599
think that's when they the sauce is just right right,

994
01:01:18.679 --> 01:01:24.400
and it's just really hilarious. You know, Boimler's being Boimler

995
01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:28.360
the way he most Boimlers when he's being shot eached, right,

996
01:01:28.519 --> 01:01:31.159
and it's just I thought it was hilarious, right, And

997
01:01:31.239 --> 01:01:33.000
so to me, this is a great episode. It was

998
01:01:33.039 --> 01:01:35.960
really really funny. The Niglimos stuff was was, you know,

999
01:01:36.519 --> 01:01:40.119
again just kind of an innocuous side story, nothing to

1000
01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:42.880
get thrown out about. I thought it was really fun though,

1001
01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:45.920
and charming and just maybe you had to be a

1002
01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:48.559
little bit more familiar with food CORDICs.

1003
01:01:48.119 --> 01:01:49.960
Really get that.

1004
01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:53.280
But I was just like, look, somebody's spent the time

1005
01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:56.239
waiting tables apparently, But I thought it was funny, and

1006
01:01:56.360 --> 01:01:58.840
just because they're kind of like these and then the

1007
01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:02.079
fact that they're just assholes who are pretending that they have,

1008
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:05.159
you know, actually got great taste when they have none

1009
01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:08.599
at all. Hey, fan community sounds familiar perhaps a little bit,

1010
01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:11.559
I think maybe, So, I don't know, the fact that

1011
01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:13.119
they were just full of it and they were all

1012
01:02:13.159 --> 01:02:16.239
just you know, full of puffery was just you know,

1013
01:02:16.599 --> 01:02:19.599
a nice thing there. But Klingon's on lower decks is

1014
01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:23.679
comedy gold best thing of this season so far, easily

1015
01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:28.360
a nine for me. This is a huge win. Who

1016
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:30.159
wants to jump on and follow that?

1017
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:34.320
Well? I think I'm going to jump in here because.

1018
01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:37.920
I had Why did I know this?

1019
01:02:38.039 --> 01:02:44.480
I knew this four times?

1020
01:02:42.559 --> 01:02:49.480
I Uncle Jim, your presence is a burden.

1021
01:02:51.119 --> 01:02:56.320
Experienced poods. I thought, First of all, I gotta say

1022
01:02:56.719 --> 01:03:01.039
bringing back Mary chief All, who way the awesome lorel

1023
01:03:01.119 --> 01:03:07.639
on Discovery as Kolara who was the female with the

1024
01:03:07.719 --> 01:03:09.960
side boob with the boob window problem.

1025
01:03:10.320 --> 01:03:11.159
I didn't know that.

1026
01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:16.440
Okay, Yeah, Mary Chiefo was great as that character. And

1027
01:03:16.480 --> 01:03:21.639
she wore the Captain Picard hat from the All Good

1028
01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:24.320
Things type of deal. As I said, this episode kind

1029
01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:28.360
of starts with the winery type of deal from Picard

1030
01:03:29.000 --> 01:03:33.480
and in that in that episode he wears that that hat,

1031
01:03:33.800 --> 01:03:36.760
and she wears it in this episode. So that was

1032
01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:39.280
a little nice little kid bit there. But I loved

1033
01:03:39.280 --> 01:03:44.519
her character. She was great. Boimler Boemler was me. I

1034
01:03:44.599 --> 01:03:47.960
was watching the episode and thinking to myself, that would

1035
01:03:48.000 --> 01:03:51.480
be me. I would be Boimler. He was like nerding

1036
01:03:51.519 --> 01:03:55.559
out on the Klingons, and what can I say? It

1037
01:03:55.679 --> 01:03:58.599
was awesome, Like when they when they threw him across

1038
01:03:58.639 --> 01:04:00.800
the floor and hit him with the chair. He thought

1039
01:04:00.800 --> 01:04:03.119
that was a great thing. He's like, oh wow, they

1040
01:04:03.199 --> 01:04:07.760
respect me now as he's bleeding on the floor. Just gold,

1041
01:04:07.960 --> 01:04:12.280
absolute gold. They're in there throwing their datas at the

1042
01:04:12.360 --> 01:04:16.960
dark board instead of darts. You know, that was just great.

1043
01:04:17.039 --> 01:04:20.679
And the thing that I really liked was quing On.

1044
01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:24.119
Every Klingon that we've ever seen, they're all warriors and

1045
01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:28.320
you know, fighting and killing and death and dah da

1046
01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:35.519
da da dah. Not in this episode though. In this episode, uh,

1047
01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:40.880
they're they're making blood wine and the brothers walking around

1048
01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:43.719
with Gok wiggling around in his belt that he's eating

1049
01:04:43.800 --> 01:04:46.840
like like Jemmy beans to the whole episode which just

1050
01:04:46.920 --> 01:04:51.119
had me on the floor. And you know, for those

1051
01:04:51.159 --> 01:04:52.960
of you who don't know who this guy is, this

1052
01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:57.119
particular Klingon in this episode, we've seen him before. This

1053
01:04:57.199 --> 01:05:00.079
is a this is a thread from another episode. Do

1054
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:02.760
you guys remember last season when Nick Lacarano tried to

1055
01:05:02.760 --> 01:05:07.159
take over the world with his crazy thing there the

1056
01:05:07.280 --> 01:05:11.519
Klingon that that Mariner was stuck in the cave that

1057
01:05:11.719 --> 01:05:15.760
is the Klingon. So that's how she knows him from

1058
01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:18.480
that episode and anytime they do that, I particular, as

1059
01:05:18.480 --> 01:05:21.679
you guys remember, I loved that episode too, and now

1060
01:05:21.719 --> 01:05:25.079
he's back again, so I just can't say enough about it.

1061
01:05:25.480 --> 01:05:29.239
I think, I think Jen. I'm pretty sure this is

1062
01:05:29.559 --> 01:05:32.199
the third time we've seen him, at least, because he

1063
01:05:32.280 --> 01:05:33.639
was also in Waiged Douge.

1064
01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:36.679
He was he was in the one when the Klingons

1065
01:05:36.679 --> 01:05:40.400
ship mutinied yeah and they mute need. This is the guy,

1066
01:05:40.639 --> 01:05:45.000
So yeah, great character, and you know, seeing them on

1067
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:48.320
the Klingon farm was great. Mom's yelling at him that

1068
01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:50.679
we got to go deliver the blood wine. They got

1069
01:05:50.719 --> 01:05:53.760
Klingon mom yelling from off screen that they got to

1070
01:05:53.800 --> 01:05:57.920
deliver their wine. The brothers putting horns on the front

1071
01:05:57.920 --> 01:06:01.000
of the ship to make it more and it seemed

1072
01:06:02.119 --> 01:06:06.559
just there was some great, great Klingon stuff in here

1073
01:06:06.920 --> 01:06:09.800
that you don't get to see on live action Star Trek.

1074
01:06:10.239 --> 01:06:14.960
Only lower decks could pull this off, and boy did they.

1075
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:17.599
They pulled it off great. They get to the bar

1076
01:06:18.199 --> 01:06:22.000
and there's no blood wine, so they're serving Klingon tea

1077
01:06:22.079 --> 01:06:26.840
and the bartenders complaining that everybody's getting undrunk, and they

1078
01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:29.599
got it. You know they're not rowy enough.

1079
01:06:32.239 --> 01:06:34.599
And the bar is like a chain bar called the

1080
01:06:34.639 --> 01:06:36.920
Warrior Pit, which is hilarious, right.

1081
01:06:37.960 --> 01:06:43.119
Yeah, because Boiemler is all excited because Markos killed seventy

1082
01:06:43.239 --> 01:06:46.079
nine people at this bar. And then they're like, well, no,

1083
01:06:46.239 --> 01:06:48.599
that's the bar over in the other area. This is

1084
01:06:48.599 --> 01:06:52.400
a chain now or whatever it was. Oh my god,

1085
01:06:52.679 --> 01:06:55.800
how could you not love it? Really? You know? And

1086
01:06:55.840 --> 01:06:57.800
then when they have to go between the before the

1087
01:06:57.840 --> 01:07:02.199
committee and the guy I should have written their names down.

1088
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:05.920
The guy in charge of the committee was the brother

1089
01:07:06.079 --> 01:07:08.840
of the guy that he killed during the mutiny in

1090
01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:12.840
weej Douge, so that's why he was pissed off at

1091
01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:15.960
him and came up with this impossible plan with a

1092
01:07:16.079 --> 01:07:20.119
giant ass targ, the biggest targ you've ever seen in

1093
01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:25.199
your life. And the older brother from the farm is

1094
01:07:25.199 --> 01:07:27.760
a tar wrestler, and he's like, we each guy to

1095
01:07:27.760 --> 01:07:30.519
get a leg and Boimler runs right in there and

1096
01:07:30.199 --> 01:07:32.920
he's hanging on did I get it? Did I get it?

1097
01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:37.039
And I'm like, oh my god, Boimler. And while they're

1098
01:07:37.079 --> 01:07:41.320
screwing around, the older brother gets the targ and hodkaies them.

1099
01:07:41.760 --> 01:07:44.840
You know, done, And then the General's like, now you

1100
01:07:44.960 --> 01:07:47.679
have to what does he say? Now you have to

1101
01:07:47.719 --> 01:07:54.199
pacify his anal land and the books. I'll do it.

1102
01:07:54.239 --> 01:07:57.760
I'll do it. He's all inimid nails.

1103
01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:03.800
I was like, oh my god, but was She's like,

1104
01:08:03.920 --> 01:08:05.840
I'm a fan of cling on bureaucratic minutia.

1105
01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:10.320
I'll do it. And did you guys notice when they

1106
01:08:10.320 --> 01:08:12.960
were in the bar, did you notice the song that

1107
01:08:13.000 --> 01:08:15.880
they were playing in the bar was? It was a

1108
01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:19.319
was what the what the hell did tend college cling

1109
01:08:19.399 --> 01:08:25.520
on puke rock? She she had a name for it,

1110
01:08:26.079 --> 01:08:34.239
and that's it, that's right. And uh the song that.

1111
01:08:36.359 --> 01:08:38.119
Tindy playing a guitar.

1112
01:08:40.680 --> 01:08:44.520
Yes, And the song that they were playing in the

1113
01:08:44.560 --> 01:08:48.159
bar was the Klingon attack theme from Star Trek the

1114
01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:52.760
motion picture, only it was it was just like like

1115
01:08:53.279 --> 01:08:55.359
acid is up. And I was like, I thought that

1116
01:08:55.520 --> 01:08:59.720
was great. So overall I noticed. I didn't say anything

1117
01:08:59.720 --> 01:09:02.880
about the bird people because I don't care, but overall,

1118
01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:06.319
forgetting the birds, I got to give this one a ten.

1119
01:09:06.840 --> 01:09:12.760
I mean, you guys, surprise, really this was my favorite

1120
01:09:13.680 --> 01:09:20.960
favorite episode, especially the boob window line. Just lower decks

1121
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:24.760
when lower Decks is firing on all cylinders this is

1122
01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:27.239
the kind of episode they give you, and that's the

1123
01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:30.199
kind of episode we got. It was. It was right

1124
01:09:30.199 --> 01:09:34.640
from the opening with the nice serene farm and you know,

1125
01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:40.439
the gock wiggling around. It was perfect, perfect, perfect. I

1126
01:09:40.520 --> 01:09:46.479
give it a ten shock and dismay, Right, So who

1127
01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:49.439
wants to jump in after? After a ten? You want

1128
01:09:49.479 --> 01:09:50.520
to jump in here, David?

1129
01:09:51.560 --> 01:09:56.640
Sure, Well we all know, Kennon now where God comes from.

1130
01:09:57.239 --> 01:10:01.039
I didn't know that it came from the Dirk, but

1131
01:10:01.039 --> 01:10:03.520
but yeah, I really liked this episode a lot too.

1132
01:10:03.560 --> 01:10:07.600
I think it's one of my favorite ones. Uh when

1133
01:10:07.800 --> 01:10:10.079
going from Sena Sheene, it just made it look like

1134
01:10:10.199 --> 01:10:12.600
when they were picking the cock out of the ground

1135
01:10:13.159 --> 01:10:14.960
and putting it into the bulls, and then the next

1136
01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:16.960
thing went over and it looks like they were stomping

1137
01:10:17.079 --> 01:10:19.039
on the womb to make juice. I would like, wait

1138
01:10:19.039 --> 01:10:20.119
a minute.

1139
01:10:20.279 --> 01:10:24.000
Well so that comes from Well, this is a good question, David.

1140
01:10:24.039 --> 01:10:25.319
I mean, this is actually what I was going to

1141
01:10:25.359 --> 01:10:27.279
bring up during my review, but you're kind of bringing

1142
01:10:27.279 --> 01:10:30.560
it up, which is that we don't actually know cannon

1143
01:10:30.600 --> 01:10:35.960
wine what blood wine is made of. Yeah, and it

1144
01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:38.800
could be like, as far as I'm concerned in this episode.

1145
01:10:38.840 --> 01:10:42.039
We know that these guys are like targ farmers or something,

1146
01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:45.359
right because the one wrestles turn. So it could be

1147
01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:48.439
that blood wine is made from targ blood, or it

1148
01:10:48.439 --> 01:10:53.119
could be that the blood wine is actually made from

1149
01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:55.600
mashed up god. I mean, that would be amazing.

1150
01:10:58.680 --> 01:11:02.960
Howd on does that take? Not to mention, do they

1151
01:11:03.000 --> 01:11:05.960
ever make beef? Joking with those things that'd be interesting

1152
01:11:06.680 --> 01:11:12.520
got me worried anybody, you know, But yeah, I don't know.

1153
01:11:12.760 --> 01:11:17.039
To me, I really liked this episode. By really really

1154
01:11:17.359 --> 01:11:19.000
got it for me in the way he would actually

1155
01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:22.439
you're just super excited and everything. I was like, Okay,

1156
01:11:22.479 --> 01:11:24.600
this is gonna be a fun episode, and it's like

1157
01:11:24.640 --> 01:11:29.960
she would volunteering for everything. Oh man. That got me.

1158
01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:33.000
And of course everybody had been saying it. The favorite

1159
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:35.439
line was crawled up he boob window and died.

1160
01:11:36.720 --> 01:11:37.520
Oh man.

1161
01:11:39.039 --> 01:11:39.399
Yeah.

1162
01:11:39.439 --> 01:11:42.640
Overall, I really think this episode really did good job.

1163
01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:47.279
I really did actually enjoy the bird plot, the whole

1164
01:11:47.479 --> 01:11:49.760
idea that. I mean, you know, they just come up

1165
01:11:49.800 --> 01:11:53.880
with the weirdest names and the weirdest punishment too. It's

1166
01:11:53.960 --> 01:11:55.640
like I don't want to go to the tape with.

1167
01:11:55.760 --> 01:11:56.640
Trail or whatever.

1168
01:11:56.720 --> 01:12:00.840
The cold It so to me, I I really enjoyed

1169
01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:08.279
this episode a lot. I honestly am. I'm having a

1170
01:12:09.039 --> 01:12:11.159
hard debate with myself right out to give it a

1171
01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:14.640
ten or not. But there was a favorite partner this

1172
01:12:14.760 --> 01:12:19.279
episode that I really really enjoyed, which was, oh yeah,

1173
01:12:19.560 --> 01:12:24.000
the paint sticks didn't wharf go through the paint sticks

1174
01:12:24.039 --> 01:12:26.199
and survived the very last one, because I thought they

1175
01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:28.279
mentioned nobody ever survived the last one, and I'm like,

1176
01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:32.239
wait a minute, they must have and uh up the

1177
01:12:32.319 --> 01:12:34.760
jolt or something in this later seriod.

1178
01:12:34.840 --> 01:12:40.239
But uh, I think if I'll jump in here, I

1179
01:12:40.279 --> 01:12:43.520
think I think the episode you're talking about was on

1180
01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:47.720
the Holid Deck. I think there was a holod Deck recreation,

1181
01:12:47.920 --> 01:12:52.079
so the Holow deck isn't unless he overrode the safety protocols,

1182
01:12:52.079 --> 01:12:56.319
which is very possible. You know, wouldn't wouldn't allow you

1183
01:12:56.359 --> 01:12:56.880
to be hurt.

1184
01:12:57.760 --> 01:13:06.119
But okay, bicker bicker factor, right, Okay.

1185
01:13:05.880 --> 01:13:08.800
With the episode they did that in, So I mean

1186
01:13:08.920 --> 01:13:12.319
that part was okay. I really actually liked the fact

1187
01:13:12.359 --> 01:13:15.239
that they were climbing all over the Big Brother there

1188
01:13:15.319 --> 01:13:17.760
just to absorb some of the shock. I thought that

1189
01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:22.880
was kind of funny. And the fact that apparently nobody

1190
01:13:22.880 --> 01:13:25.880
ever survived us and somehow startly ingenuity just kind of

1191
01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:28.960
like you put two together and they survived.

1192
01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:30.760
Well.

1193
01:13:31.039 --> 01:13:35.039
By the by the way, David as a former electrical

1194
01:13:35.199 --> 01:13:38.039
engineering student, I will tell you that the whole like

1195
01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:42.079
adding bodies to the dude who's actually in contact with

1196
01:13:42.119 --> 01:13:48.239
the thing, technically is bs. It doesn't do a thing.

1197
01:13:49.439 --> 01:13:55.159
I love that they did it anyway, but like, scientifically, well,

1198
01:13:55.319 --> 01:13:55.880
but it worked.

1199
01:13:56.279 --> 01:13:59.039
It worked in the episode though you completely boss.

1200
01:13:59.560 --> 01:14:04.840
Well oh no, I mean technically yes, it's true, but

1201
01:14:05.760 --> 01:14:10.960
holding on to another object while you're getting something electrified.

1202
01:14:10.279 --> 01:14:13.920
To you actually brings the jolt down a little bit.

1203
01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:19.560
I mean, having experienced that myself, knowing that that kind

1204
01:14:19.560 --> 01:14:23.000
of stuff, having something hold on to that can actually

1205
01:14:23.239 --> 01:14:25.600
actually abjob the electric shock actually does.

1206
01:14:28.039 --> 01:14:28.800
Yeah, but the.

1207
01:14:28.800 --> 01:14:32.960
Problem is is that the difference between how much joke

1208
01:14:33.399 --> 01:14:36.159
and the probably will still feel the same.

1209
01:14:37.359 --> 01:14:40.960
Well, what like if you were to actually be scientifically accurate,

1210
01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:42.840
what you would have done is you would have kept

1211
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:45.439
the people in contact with the same thing that the

1212
01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:49.760
brother was in contact with, because it is it's a

1213
01:14:49.840 --> 01:14:53.680
wired in series versus a wired in parallel type situation,

1214
01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:55.840
and you need people to be wired in parallel for

1215
01:14:55.920 --> 01:15:01.000
them to absorb sort of the same voltage and like

1216
01:15:01.119 --> 01:15:04.039
cut it down anyway. And I don't want to bore

1217
01:15:04.039 --> 01:15:06.479
you guys with like bold engineering. I'm just saying, whatever,

1218
01:15:10.000 --> 01:15:10.560
convince it.

1219
01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:11.319
That was funny.

1220
01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:12.239
That's all we need to know.

1221
01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:16.680
So a lot of the different things, like you know,

1222
01:15:16.840 --> 01:15:18.800
they have to do all these different things that boy

1223
01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:20.119
kept trying to volunteer too.

1224
01:15:20.239 --> 01:15:21.359
I really enjoyed it.

1225
01:15:21.359 --> 01:15:24.600
And so I guess what's all the fun things that's

1226
01:15:24.600 --> 01:15:27.279
coming to my memory now? It was really funny. I

1227
01:15:27.319 --> 01:15:30.279
am actually gonna give this one a ten shoe. I

1228
01:15:30.520 --> 01:15:31.600
have it. Who wants you to go in?

1229
01:15:32.159 --> 01:15:35.399
Wow? Well, Eric, you're already you're already going you want

1230
01:15:35.399 --> 01:15:36.159
to jump right in?

1231
01:15:37.000 --> 01:15:39.199
Yeah, man, I I gotta tell you the truth. I

1232
01:15:39.199 --> 01:15:41.239
don't have too much else to say. I thought that

1233
01:15:41.479 --> 01:15:44.880
both like all of you guys have given an excellent

1234
01:15:44.920 --> 01:15:46.760
review of this thing. I was going to mention the

1235
01:15:47.159 --> 01:15:49.840
blood wine thing and not really knowing where blood wine

1236
01:15:49.880 --> 01:15:53.720
comes from. So my head cannon is now that it

1237
01:15:53.800 --> 01:15:57.159
is just goch that's been stumped. So it's actually blood

1238
01:15:57.239 --> 01:16:01.680
wine is the blood of the worms that they eat

1239
01:16:02.039 --> 01:16:05.720
for dinner, So they just they just eat worms. That's

1240
01:16:05.760 --> 01:16:06.439
all they eat.

1241
01:16:07.840 --> 01:16:08.239
Anyway.

1242
01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:14.000
Yeah, the opening credit's amazing, all sorts of stuff that

1243
01:16:14.000 --> 01:16:17.079
you guys mentioned, So I'll just say that I thoroughly,

1244
01:16:17.279 --> 01:16:21.159
thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I think not only is Lower

1245
01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:24.399
Decks at its best when it's sort of focusing on

1246
01:16:24.439 --> 01:16:27.079
the comedy, but I think it's been very clear that

1247
01:16:27.399 --> 01:16:30.039
when you go for these alternate stories that are sort

1248
01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:34.119
of like part of the cannon but don't necessarily involve

1249
01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:38.119
the main characters to a heavy degree, you can be

1250
01:16:38.279 --> 01:16:43.039
very successful. So please, please please give me a animated

1251
01:16:43.119 --> 01:16:46.840
Klingon series. Give me an animated and Dorian series, like,

1252
01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:50.359
there's gotta be some like even if you do it

1253
01:16:50.439 --> 01:16:54.000
for like a season or two. Right, think about how

1254
01:16:54.039 --> 01:16:56.800
Disney does this. They'll they'll throw a show out there

1255
01:16:56.840 --> 01:17:00.000
for eight or ten episodes and see if people like it,

1256
01:17:00.439 --> 01:17:02.520
and if they don't, then they don't make another season.

1257
01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:06.640
And if they do, great. I think Star Trek could

1258
01:17:06.640 --> 01:17:09.000
do the same thing. I think you put one like,

1259
01:17:09.079 --> 01:17:12.119
you take the same animators, you take the same writers.

1260
01:17:12.520 --> 01:17:15.600
You write yourself a Klingon season, and you put it

1261
01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:17.720
out with a different name, and that's all there is

1262
01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:20.640
to it. And I think people would eat that stuff up.

1263
01:17:21.800 --> 01:17:25.760
So that is my number one piece of advice I

1264
01:17:25.960 --> 01:17:29.159
give this episode because I'm not afraid of decimals. I'm

1265
01:17:29.159 --> 01:17:31.800
gonna go nine point five. It was not perfect, but

1266
01:17:31.840 --> 01:17:33.439
it was damn near close.

1267
01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:37.560
But you know, you know what made me laugh the

1268
01:17:37.600 --> 01:17:40.600
most eric is the fact that the brother I don't

1269
01:17:40.640 --> 01:17:42.640
know was he the older brother, I'm gonna call him

1270
01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:47.479
the older brother, was like, so like anti Klingon, I

1271
01:17:47.479 --> 01:17:51.520
guess that's the best way. Well, because I mean he

1272
01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:55.199
would throw off Lin like, oh well, well he has

1273
01:17:55.279 --> 01:17:57.560
no honor because he killed his brother. I mean, he's

1274
01:17:57.560 --> 01:18:02.560
making all these snarky klingon to just cracked me up

1275
01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:06.000
because you would never hear a kling On saying the

1276
01:18:06.079 --> 01:18:08.840
kind of stuff he was saying, and it was hilarious.

1277
01:18:09.760 --> 01:18:12.239
And the brilliance of that writing gym is not only

1278
01:18:12.319 --> 01:18:15.640
is he doing that, but while he's doing it, he

1279
01:18:15.920 --> 01:18:19.319
is plugging into all of the tropes of that character

1280
01:18:19.439 --> 01:18:22.800
type along the way, Like we have plenty of examples

1281
01:18:22.880 --> 01:18:26.920
of that kind of like slightly less intelligent older brother

1282
01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:31.520
who works the farm sort of situation in all sorts

1283
01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:34.239
of fiction that's out there, and he just played right

1284
01:18:34.279 --> 01:18:37.640
into it. And yeah, I don't know the writers were

1285
01:18:37.920 --> 01:18:40.039
on point when they put this one together, because the

1286
01:18:40.119 --> 01:18:44.560
writing on this one is just like you compare you

1287
01:18:44.640 --> 01:18:47.199
literally compare this one to last week's episode. You're like,

1288
01:18:47.279 --> 01:18:50.000
is this even the same team of writers. It's like

1289
01:18:50.359 --> 01:18:55.159
bag oh references versus like real actual comedy that is

1290
01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:59.119
intelligent and like dives a little bit deeper into Star

1291
01:18:59.159 --> 01:19:03.000
Trek l or Star Trek Cannon chose alternate ways of

1292
01:19:03.039 --> 01:19:04.279
living on Chronos.

1293
01:19:04.399 --> 01:19:09.680
I mean exactly exactly. Now, a checklist is not entertainment.

1294
01:19:10.159 --> 01:19:14.079
It's not I mean, I get it.

1295
01:19:15.119 --> 01:19:15.640
It's cheating.

1296
01:19:16.119 --> 01:19:19.000
It can't it's super. I think it's super. I mean,

1297
01:19:19.359 --> 01:19:22.479
here's what I'll say, Paul. I think that satisfied us

1298
01:19:22.600 --> 01:19:25.640
in season one of Lower Decks because we were like,

1299
01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:28.479
oh man, I get that reference. But but we are

1300
01:19:28.520 --> 01:19:32.159
in season five. We are far down the Lower Decks road.

1301
01:19:32.199 --> 01:19:37.920
We have seen I excreet us whatever, like amazing episodes

1302
01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:41.359
like that right like Alo along the way, and I

1303
01:19:41.359 --> 01:19:46.279
think we deserve and demand more and this episode brought

1304
01:19:46.399 --> 01:19:47.479
all that to the table.

1305
01:19:48.199 --> 01:19:49.960
Yeah, I agree, a great.

1306
01:19:53.600 --> 01:19:57.479
Exactly. Well, Charles, if there's nothing, I mean, I don't

1307
01:19:57.520 --> 01:19:59.399
know if you have anything you want to add because

1308
01:19:59.399 --> 01:20:01.439
I think we we said a lot. But do you

1309
01:20:01.439 --> 01:20:03.960
have anything else you want to add to the discussion.

1310
01:20:05.279 --> 01:20:10.399
Oh, I've got I've got items in my notes. The

1311
01:20:10.479 --> 01:20:15.279
unique in the unique opening as where a thing that's like, oh,

1312
01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:21.800
we we didn't want to enterprise episode. Yeah, episode that

1313
01:20:22.079 --> 01:20:28.880
was changed up. They went back into the original episode

1314
01:20:29.479 --> 01:20:34.680
of Star Trek with Pike when they visited the planet.

1315
01:20:35.800 --> 01:20:45.039
That alternative that one happened, alternative opening too, and one

1316
01:20:45.079 --> 01:20:49.199
of anything. Immediately I wrote down this is I'll just

1317
01:20:49.279 --> 01:20:53.359
cling on references and what was the poll? We were

1318
01:20:53.359 --> 01:20:57.680
talking two polls. We talked about last week war and

1319
01:20:57.800 --> 01:21:02.319
cling on, cling on cuatures. So I thought it was

1320
01:21:02.439 --> 01:21:06.840
interesting that we had references. We were talking about wharf

1321
01:21:06.960 --> 01:21:11.439
and the Klingon culture last week, where the lines of

1322
01:21:11.520 --> 01:21:14.279
the brother gave that. I think the brother and Mariner

1323
01:21:14.359 --> 01:21:18.680
were funny. Marin is like, we'll do it for your brother,

1324
01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:23.279
Nah give you I forget exactly what he said she

1325
01:21:23.359 --> 01:21:28.159
said was, oh how about a thousand credits. I'm in

1326
01:21:28.479 --> 01:21:30.119
let's do it.

1327
01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:30.319
It's like.

1328
01:21:32.159 --> 01:21:38.319
His brother for edit for doing uh getting some money

1329
01:21:38.359 --> 01:21:43.479
out of the sure and no problem. Of course the

1330
01:21:43.560 --> 01:21:51.720
Klingon pain stick, I thought, definitely of Jim thinking about

1331
01:21:51.720 --> 01:21:59.399
this episode. But I also thought, interesting boy learned the

1332
01:21:59.520 --> 01:22:04.760
ash bomber suddenly hearing a new mustache, he got a

1333
01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:08.640
different character. We've got one that's he wants to get

1334
01:22:08.640 --> 01:22:11.840
in there and do things. We know the fact that

1335
01:22:11.880 --> 01:22:16.600
they have a buck. I hit a nerd. I love

1336
01:22:16.680 --> 01:22:20.880
the fact that he knows these clingon references. He mentioned

1337
01:22:20.920 --> 01:22:24.079
these references. He looked on his pad with these references

1338
01:22:24.399 --> 01:22:29.239
and then turned around and said these said these uh

1339
01:22:29.680 --> 01:22:36.479
things that have been used for decades. Oh you do this? No, no,

1340
01:22:36.600 --> 01:22:40.920
you could. Yeah the rules that the old said, Yeah,

1341
01:22:41.600 --> 01:22:42.239
he can do this.

1342
01:22:42.439 --> 01:22:47.159
Like ah, so, Charlie, you think do you think the

1343
01:22:47.199 --> 01:22:52.880
whole Boimler facial hair thing might be a reference to

1344
01:22:53.560 --> 01:22:57.840
the facial hair upgrade that Riker gets in Next Generation

1345
01:22:57.960 --> 01:23:01.920
and that like you know on Star Trek, when you're

1346
01:23:01.960 --> 01:23:04.880
a dude and you grow your beard, all of the

1347
01:23:04.960 --> 01:23:07.479
sudden you have more gravitas.

1348
01:23:07.960 --> 01:23:12.760
You know from that first episode man, from the very

1349
01:23:12.760 --> 01:23:15.640
first episode of this season. Remember when he goes they

1350
01:23:15.800 --> 01:23:20.720
meet their doppelgangers, right, and his his doppelganger. So he's

1351
01:23:20.760 --> 01:23:24.479
just he's like, he's more in charge now, he's better

1352
01:23:24.520 --> 01:23:27.199
than I am. I need something. He's basically just envying himself.

1353
01:23:27.239 --> 01:23:32.159
That's all this, okay, But I do I agree with

1354
01:23:32.319 --> 01:23:37.159
Eric's references, like I think we had a different Riker when.

1355
01:23:37.039 --> 01:23:37.840
They got the beard.

1356
01:23:39.479 --> 01:23:41.239
Yeah, we've had characters who.

1357
01:23:41.039 --> 01:23:44.239
Have gone with facial hair and have looked better in

1358
01:23:44.560 --> 01:23:48.079
facial hair, and the characters have gotten better. So yes,

1359
01:23:48.159 --> 01:23:52.119
I think there is a bit of a reference there.

1360
01:23:52.199 --> 01:23:56.279
I think you look at the Superstar Riker is on

1361
01:23:56.319 --> 01:24:00.800
the Titan. I think, right, boy, we're kind of much

1362
01:24:01.000 --> 01:24:03.000
a bit of that, and he saw some of that

1363
01:24:03.159 --> 01:24:07.680
more of that with his doppel ganger, and I think

1364
01:24:07.720 --> 01:24:11.560
that is direction.

1365
01:24:14.079 --> 01:24:19.359
There's probably like some funny psychological thing here happening with

1366
01:24:19.520 --> 01:24:22.600
like facial hair and Star Trek. If I'm starting to

1367
01:24:23.159 --> 01:24:26.960
just think about the recent characters that we really respect

1368
01:24:27.000 --> 01:24:32.640
that are that are male characters, you know most of

1369
01:24:32.680 --> 01:24:34.840
them have some type of facial hair. Is that a

1370
01:24:36.439 --> 01:24:42.159
Is that a societally like? Well, I don't know anyway,

1371
01:24:40.600 --> 01:24:42.560
that's right.

1372
01:24:42.560 --> 01:24:52.560
You know, when you're really insecure. Man, Sorry, I know

1373
01:24:52.600 --> 01:24:53.560
where that came from.

1374
01:24:53.600 --> 01:24:55.680
I don't know who who I talked about.

1375
01:24:56.479 --> 01:24:58.199
Well, now I gotta grow up, my be.

1376
01:25:00.600 --> 01:25:03.000
If only we had we only were on YouTube and

1377
01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:05.199
we could see each other. This would be so much funnier.

1378
01:25:07.439 --> 01:25:08.359
I think the mirror.

1379
01:25:11.279 --> 01:25:15.199
I don't understand my reference to this, but this, I

1380
01:25:15.239 --> 01:25:20.359
think the second time that lower Decks has brought in

1381
01:25:20.920 --> 01:25:25.000
what I call crack, the crack in the universe.

1382
01:25:26.920 --> 01:25:30.279
Oh yeah, no, totally, Yeah.

1383
01:25:30.159 --> 01:25:34.239
I liked that. I liked it. Okay, let's put a

1384
01:25:34.279 --> 01:25:40.000
reference in, can't not to give kid bitch to what

1385
01:25:40.560 --> 01:25:42.680
probably is going to be towards the conclusion.

1386
01:25:43.239 --> 01:25:46.039
Okay, So just to provide context for everybody else with

1387
01:25:46.239 --> 01:25:49.199
Charles of course is referencing. Is that back in the

1388
01:25:49.760 --> 01:25:54.960
Matt Smith's days, I believe of Doctor Who, there was

1389
01:25:55.000 --> 01:25:59.840
a crack in the universe, like, uh, the plot are

1390
01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:04.760
that sort of happened and it was actually really really good,

1391
01:26:04.880 --> 01:26:07.119
And so I think that's what Charles is referencing here.

1392
01:26:07.439 --> 01:26:10.760
Yes, that's a good one. Was the reference too bad?

1393
01:26:10.760 --> 01:26:11.119
Wolves?

1394
01:26:13.039 --> 01:26:16.520
But I wait, we gave little little things that references

1395
01:26:16.880 --> 01:26:20.680
what's going to happen in the future, and we don't

1396
01:26:20.720 --> 01:26:24.640
we're not getting it as severe as we did a

1397
01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:27.439
couple of seasons ago. And I like how there's some

1398
01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:30.960
small feedings to it, but we're kind of bringing up

1399
01:26:31.000 --> 01:26:35.000
these little fissure off and it's like, oh, okay, I

1400
01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:37.319
think I see a bit of the future coming up.

1401
01:26:37.840 --> 01:26:41.239
Yeah, And I think I think what you're saying is that,

1402
01:26:41.279 --> 01:26:45.079
like it's very clear to us, to Hubians that there

1403
01:26:45.079 --> 01:26:47.720
are some Doctor Who fans in the writer's room of

1404
01:26:47.840 --> 01:26:50.560
lower depths, and every once in a while it comes

1405
01:26:50.600 --> 01:26:53.800
through and as Hubians were like, oh, yeah, I get

1406
01:26:53.840 --> 01:26:55.560
what you're doing there. I totally did that.

1407
01:26:56.640 --> 01:27:00.760
Yeah, they've done that before doing any again. They're doing

1408
01:27:00.800 --> 01:27:02.079
a little, little.

1409
01:27:02.119 --> 01:27:05.279
Little who.

1410
01:27:05.960 --> 01:27:06.479
Exactly.

1411
01:27:07.840 --> 01:27:12.880
But I think with got with the Doctor episode, I'm

1412
01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:17.319
gonna bring this back to about a nine. I wish

1413
01:27:17.319 --> 01:27:19.880
they'd done a little bit more. I like backstories, but

1414
01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:30.520
I just didn't like the Doctor's backstory. But that gives

1415
01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:37.159
us a total. They're the fans gave an eight point eight,

1416
01:27:39.079 --> 01:27:41.920
and the host jumped up and down and sheered and

1417
01:27:41.960 --> 01:27:43.439
gave it a nine point five.

1418
01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:48.279
Wow, is that is that our highest score yet?

1419
01:27:49.680 --> 01:27:51.159
That's the highest score this season.

1420
01:27:52.560 --> 01:27:54.760
It might be one of the highest scores ever. I can't,

1421
01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:57.119
I can't. I was gonna say, I can't think of

1422
01:27:57.159 --> 01:28:00.520
another time that, like the hosts have no nine point

1423
01:28:00.560 --> 01:28:04.000
five something. Maybe the Discovery finale or something, but like

1424
01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:07.800
we all have buge beginning of.

1425
01:28:08.640 --> 01:28:14.359
Prodigy Prody season two, the first three episodes at nine

1426
01:28:14.399 --> 01:28:16.680
point five and the concert going down a bit.

1427
01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:22.399
Then wow, cool, well the best episode so far.

1428
01:28:23.600 --> 01:28:27.079
Yeah I agree. All right, guys, Well that wraps up

1429
01:28:27.119 --> 01:28:30.239
our our Star Trek Lower Decks part of the show

1430
01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:49.079
and then now we're gonna be doing that was not

1431
01:28:49.159 --> 01:28:53.119
a song. But we always start off our Star Trek

1432
01:28:53.199 --> 01:28:56.600
birthdays by remembering those members of our Star Trek family who,

1433
01:28:56.720 --> 01:29:00.159
sadly enough, are no longer with us, and for that

1434
01:29:00.600 --> 01:29:01.520
we turned to Eric.

1435
01:29:02.840 --> 01:29:05.600
Yeah, Jim. This week, unfortunately, we are going to start

1436
01:29:05.640 --> 01:29:11.159
with a new member of our remembering community. Just this

1437
01:29:11.279 --> 01:29:15.880
past week we all lost the amazing actor Tony Todd,

1438
01:29:16.880 --> 01:29:20.640
who was born in nineteen fifty four and just died.

1439
01:29:20.680 --> 01:29:23.600
As we said this past week, Jim, is this statement

1440
01:29:23.640 --> 01:29:25.159
that I'm going to read? Is this from star Trek

1441
01:29:25.199 --> 01:29:26.600
dot com or what is this from?

1442
01:29:28.000 --> 01:29:31.640
Yeah? Yeah, okay, yes, So we have.

1443
01:29:31.760 --> 01:29:35.279
A summary, a beautiful summary here, I think that Star

1444
01:29:35.319 --> 01:29:39.199
Trek dot Com put together to celebrate Tony Todd's life.

1445
01:29:39.279 --> 01:29:40.880
So I'm just going to read this for you guys.

1446
01:29:40.920 --> 01:29:43.039
It says we are sad to learn of the passing

1447
01:29:43.079 --> 01:29:47.199
of actor Tony Todd, who most notably played Kern Wharf's

1448
01:29:47.239 --> 01:29:52.000
Klingon brother and the adult Jake Sisco. Todd passed away

1449
01:29:52.039 --> 01:29:54.279
on November sixth, twenty twenty four, at the age of

1450
01:29:54.319 --> 01:29:58.439
sixty nine at his home, according to his representatives. Born

1451
01:29:58.479 --> 01:30:01.720
on December fourth, nineteen fifty in Washington, d C. Todd

1452
01:30:01.760 --> 01:30:05.199
grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, before becoming an alumnus of

1453
01:30:05.239 --> 01:30:10.079
the Artists Collective Incorporated, then studying at the University of

1454
01:30:10.079 --> 01:30:13.439
Connecticut before shifting to theater at the Tony Award winning

1455
01:30:13.520 --> 01:30:19.239
Eugene O'Neill National Theater Institute. Beginning his career in theater,

1456
01:30:19.840 --> 01:30:22.720
Todd would go on to accrue more than two hundred

1457
01:30:22.800 --> 01:30:26.760
film and television credits, as well as acting on and

1458
01:30:26.960 --> 01:30:31.960
off Broadway. Todd made a name for himself in genre media,

1459
01:30:32.600 --> 01:30:36.720
employing the titular role in Candy Man from nineteen ninety

1460
01:30:36.720 --> 01:30:39.840
two and its various film sequels, as well as being

1461
01:30:39.880 --> 01:30:43.239
a fixture in The Crow from nineteen ninety four, The

1462
01:30:43.439 --> 01:30:47.560
Rock from nineteen ninety six, and Final Destination from two

1463
01:30:47.640 --> 01:30:51.840
thousand and its subsequent sequels. Todd first appeared in The

1464
01:30:51.880 --> 01:30:55.000
Star Trek universe as the Cleion Commander Kern, son of

1465
01:30:55.039 --> 01:30:58.800
Mogue and brother of Wharf in Star Trek The Next

1466
01:30:58.800 --> 01:31:03.079
Generation's Sins of the Father, then returning for Redemption and

1467
01:31:03.239 --> 01:31:06.439
Redemption Part two, as well as Star Trek Deep Space

1468
01:31:06.640 --> 01:31:11.399
Nine's Sons of Mogue. In the fan favorite DS nine

1469
01:31:11.479 --> 01:31:15.600
episode The Visitor, Todd portrays the adult Jake Sisco as

1470
01:31:15.680 --> 01:31:20.159
Captain Benjamin Cisco's son spends decades of his life trying

1471
01:31:20.159 --> 01:31:24.840
to rescue his father following an accident. Todd would also

1472
01:31:24.880 --> 01:31:29.560
portray a Horojina hunter in Star Trek Voyager's Prey and

1473
01:31:29.800 --> 01:31:33.359
lend his memorable voice to several Star Trek video games.

1474
01:31:34.159 --> 01:31:39.439
Todd made several reoccurring television appearances in series such as Homicide,

1475
01:31:39.479 --> 01:31:47.880
Life on the Street, Boston Public, The District, twenty four, Splatter, Transformers, Prime,

1476
01:31:48.600 --> 01:31:53.239
The Young and the Restless, Scream, the TV series The Flash,

1477
01:31:53.479 --> 01:31:58.000
and more. The entire Star Trek family sends their condolences

1478
01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:02.079
to Todd's family, friends, loved one, and fans around the world.

1479
01:32:02.960 --> 01:32:05.319
And I'll stay on a personal note, I just found

1480
01:32:06.000 --> 01:32:09.680
Todd's portrayal of Kern to be exemplary. I love the

1481
01:32:09.720 --> 01:32:14.640
fact that that warf had a brother, and that there

1482
01:32:14.640 --> 01:32:19.960
were all these complexities involved with his relationship with him

1483
01:32:20.359 --> 01:32:23.000
and the sort of like clingonness. So that's that's just

1484
01:32:23.079 --> 01:32:26.840
good writing. But I don't think good writing works without

1485
01:32:26.880 --> 01:32:30.079
a great actor to actually deliver the lines. And I

1486
01:32:30.079 --> 01:32:33.159
will say that some of those lines that Tony Todd

1487
01:32:33.199 --> 01:32:37.800
delivers as Kern when he's talking to Wharf are just

1488
01:32:37.920 --> 01:32:41.279
like they just are heart wrenching, right. You can feel

1489
01:32:41.399 --> 01:32:46.199
the like klingon brotherness of what's going on there. So

1490
01:32:47.960 --> 01:32:50.840
we will miss Tony Todd. We're so sorry that we

1491
01:32:50.960 --> 01:32:55.279
lost him this past week. And I'll just say to you, brother,

1492
01:32:55.319 --> 01:32:58.000
we all look up to the sky and yell our

1493
01:32:58.159 --> 01:33:01.800
great klingon death for for you.

1494
01:33:03.159 --> 01:33:06.119
He's such a such a such a loss man. He

1495
01:33:06.239 --> 01:33:09.720
was just such a you know, a legend, right. I mean,

1496
01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:14.199
if you haven't gone and watched Sins of the Father's

1497
01:33:14.600 --> 01:33:16.600
Sins of the Father for a while, right, which is

1498
01:33:16.720 --> 01:33:19.880
basically the start of the whole worst discommendation art, go

1499
01:33:19.960 --> 01:33:23.319
watch that for Tony Todd's performance. Right the scene where

1500
01:33:23.359 --> 01:33:27.000
he's having you know, in they're hosting him for the dinner,

1501
01:33:27.560 --> 01:33:30.600
he basically you know, was laying down the law of

1502
01:33:30.600 --> 01:33:32.560
how things would be if you know, this was a

1503
01:33:32.600 --> 01:33:36.600
kling On ship. He's just he was such a veteran

1504
01:33:36.720 --> 01:33:40.720
stage actor and it shows because he brings a gravitas

1505
01:33:40.760 --> 01:33:42.479
that you just don't have if you don't know that

1506
01:33:42.560 --> 01:33:45.600
kind of training, right, and he understood. I think he

1507
01:33:45.680 --> 01:33:47.600
was one of those recurring actors that we saw on

1508
01:33:47.680 --> 01:33:53.880
Star Trek who understood that basically, the Klingon culture it's Shakespeare, right.

1509
01:33:54.079 --> 01:33:57.239
I mean I think he you know, he'd clearly studied six,

1510
01:33:57.399 --> 01:34:00.239
you know, Star Trek six and and got it. You know,

1511
01:34:00.279 --> 01:34:02.640
he looked at the performances from like Christopher Plumber. He

1512
01:34:02.760 --> 01:34:06.399
got that basically, you know, the whole way that you know,

1513
01:34:06.479 --> 01:34:09.319
the Klingon culture has depicted is basically, you know, a

1514
01:34:09.359 --> 01:34:12.079
way of redoing Shakespeare, and that's what it is. He's

1515
01:34:12.079 --> 01:34:14.159
just great. The one other thing I wanted to make

1516
01:34:14.199 --> 01:34:16.680
sure to mention for folks because people don't always know

1517
01:34:16.720 --> 01:34:18.319
that he was in this. I think it was season

1518
01:34:18.359 --> 01:34:22.000
one of The X Files. Check out an episode that

1519
01:34:22.039 --> 01:34:25.760
he was in where he played a soldier who was

1520
01:34:25.840 --> 01:34:27.800
part of an experiment where they made it so that

1521
01:34:27.840 --> 01:34:33.159
the soldiers were constantly awake and never were able to remember.

1522
01:34:33.239 --> 01:34:37.960
That episode Yeah, it was just awful. I mean it's

1523
01:34:38.000 --> 01:34:40.239
just basically the idea was to make it so they're

1524
01:34:40.239 --> 01:34:43.319
in the constuals U episode of Black Mirror. Yeah, it's

1525
01:34:43.319 --> 01:34:45.920
from nineteen ninety four. He played a character named Augustus

1526
01:34:46.000 --> 01:34:50.720
Cole right and uh and it was just the poignancy

1527
01:34:50.880 --> 01:34:54.119
and the pain that he was able to evoke in

1528
01:34:54.239 --> 01:34:56.840
that episode. It is just you want to see acting.

1529
01:34:57.720 --> 01:35:02.840
Holy Mary, he's just unplea just season two. I'm pretty

1530
01:35:02.840 --> 01:35:06.079
sure it was season two, but he's just phenomenal, really

1531
01:35:06.119 --> 01:35:08.640
really great performance there. I think that's that should be

1532
01:35:08.680 --> 01:35:13.479
on Tony Todd's you know, you know a list if

1533
01:35:13.479 --> 01:35:17.840
you will. Just amazing. But Karrent will always be my

1534
01:35:17.880 --> 01:35:19.880
favorite role for him. I just think that he was

1535
01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:23.319
just so great because of that dynamic he had with

1536
01:35:23.399 --> 01:35:25.880
Warf and to sustain it and deepen it from one

1537
01:35:25.920 --> 01:35:28.680
episode to the next in a long running arc. What

1538
01:35:28.840 --> 01:35:30.239
a what an amazing performer.

1539
01:35:31.279 --> 01:35:35.079
Wow, thank you Paul for the X Files reference. Turns

1540
01:35:35.119 --> 01:35:38.159
out in season two, episode four, it's called Sleepless. I

1541
01:35:38.199 --> 01:35:40.159
will be watching that after the podcast.

1542
01:35:40.399 --> 01:35:41.119
So excellent.

1543
01:35:41.880 --> 01:35:45.399
Yeah, we're also going to remember three members of our

1544
01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:48.520
Star Trek community who have gone before us this week.

1545
01:35:48.800 --> 01:35:52.000
The first is actor Norman Lloyd, who lived to be

1546
01:35:52.560 --> 01:35:56.439
no joke, you guys, one hundred and six years old.

1547
01:35:56.479 --> 01:35:58.520
We just watched him back in twenty twenty one. He

1548
01:35:58.600 --> 01:36:01.840
of course, is the actor who portrayed Professor Galen in

1549
01:36:01.880 --> 01:36:06.079
the TNG six season episode The Chase, probably best known

1550
01:36:06.199 --> 01:36:10.239
to television audiences for portraying doctor Daniel Auschlander on the

1551
01:36:10.319 --> 01:36:14.319
drama series Saint Elsewhere from nineteen eighty two through nineteen

1552
01:36:14.359 --> 01:36:17.279
eighty eight. Perhaps you have heard of that show. Woyd

1553
01:36:17.319 --> 01:36:20.680
began his career in show business performing in theater before

1554
01:36:20.920 --> 01:36:26.600
Alfred Hitchcocks cast him as Frank Frye in nineteen forty

1555
01:36:26.640 --> 01:36:31.319
two's film Saboteur. Did tons of films from the forties

1556
01:36:31.359 --> 01:36:35.279
all the way through the nineties, and then from twenty

1557
01:36:35.279 --> 01:36:38.079
seventeen until his death. He was the oldest living known

1558
01:36:38.159 --> 01:36:41.800
actor to be in the Star Trek franchise. So just

1559
01:36:42.560 --> 01:36:44.520
really a special guy. Norman Lloyd would have had a

1560
01:36:44.560 --> 01:36:47.560
birthday this week. Happy birthday to him. Happy birthday to

1561
01:36:47.720 --> 01:36:51.439

in the Next Generation third season episode Sins of the Father.

1564
01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:05.600
She started her career as a comedian in the comedy

1565
01:37:05.680 --> 01:37:08.479
series Toast of the Town in the early nineteen sixties,

1566
01:37:08.680 --> 01:37:11.520

1568
01:37:15.800 --> 01:37:20.560

1569
01:37:20.640 --> 01:37:24.399
in nineteen eighty eight drama or science fiction I guess

1570
01:37:24.520 --> 01:37:28.319
they Live, in addition to the science fiction film from

1571
01:37:28.399 --> 01:37:32.279
nineteen ninety four called Future Shock, which I have seen.

1572
01:37:32.520 --> 01:37:33.640
That is not very good.

1573
01:37:33.680 --> 01:37:35.159
I'll just tell you right now.

1574
01:37:35.199 --> 01:37:38.439

season episode Progress Yes. He has had a very long

1582
01:38:03.119 --> 01:38:07.760
and distinguished career spanning seven decades in over one hundred

1583
01:38:08.039 --> 01:38:10.560
films to his name. However, he's probably best known for

1584
01:38:10.640 --> 01:38:14.720
his role as Uncle Bill Davis in the original television

1585
01:38:14.800 --> 01:38:20.439
sitcom Family Affair, for which he received three Emmy nominations.

1586
01:38:21.039 --> 01:38:23.960

1587
01:38:24.039 --> 01:38:27.640

1588

Pibe Piper Malone, and his final acting appearance was in

1589
01:38:33.359 --> 01:38:36.319
nineteen ninety seven in a made for TV movie called

1590
01:38:36.359 --> 01:38:39.840
The Second Civil War, which actually sounds kind of interesting

1591
01:38:39.840 --> 01:38:41.960
to me. I kind of want to see that, so

1592
01:38:42.079 --> 01:38:44.279

1622
01:41:03.479 --> 01:41:08.279
of the ship at the the they flew, but that's

1623
01:41:08.319 --> 01:41:11.600
the name of their podcast and the backstories they do

1624
01:41:11.880 --> 01:41:18.199
and talk about what it was like making these episodes. Yeah,

1625

1633
01:41:38.680 --> 01:41:39.560

1634
01:41:39.600 --> 01:41:42.680
Them, the Ocasi. They have guest stars, but it's mostly

1635
01:41:42.760 --> 01:41:46.439
those two and just sitting back and remembering what happened

1636
01:41:46.479 --> 01:41:48.640
in the past. Those two were just a ball and

Listen you well, we've had you may remember we've had

1640
01:42:03.239 --> 01:42:06.399
Garrett Wong on the podcast and he was actually really

1641
01:42:06.520 --> 01:42:09.880
fun to have on here. That guy has an edge

1642
01:42:10.159 --> 01:42:14.640
that I kind of dig. He was really fun to

1643
01:42:14.720 --> 01:42:17.439
have on the podcast. Yeah, he didn't pull any punches.

1644
01:42:18.760 --> 01:42:21.239
Catch up and listening to those episodes, I know they're

1645
01:42:21.279 --> 01:42:26.199
still producing and I really I love stories about Voyager.

1646
01:42:29.079 --> 01:42:30.720
So Paul, who's on your list?

1647
01:42:31.560 --> 01:42:31.800
Thank you?

1648
01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:35.520
Charles. Let's start things off here by acknowledging a very

1649
01:42:35.640 --> 01:42:41.319
happy birthday to the legendary Sublime Alfree Woodard, American actress

1650
01:42:41.359 --> 01:42:45.600
who we know for playing Lily Sloan so memorably in

1651
01:42:45.680 --> 01:42:48.720
the motion picture Star Trek First Contact, for which she

1652
01:42:48.880 --> 01:42:52.600
was nominated by the NAACP for the Image Award for

1653
01:42:52.680 --> 01:42:55.680
her role in that film. But man, oh Mani Shevitz,

1654
01:42:55.760 --> 01:42:59.119
if you don't know Alfrey Woodard beyond that motion picture,

1655
01:42:59.560 --> 01:43:03.159
you are and out. She is a legend. I could

1656
01:43:03.239 --> 01:43:06.319
go on and on and on for the great work

1657
01:43:06.359 --> 01:43:09.159
that she's done from pictures like Twelve Years of Slave,

1658
01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:13.640
more recently Annabelle. She was just in the Salem's Lot

1659
01:43:13.720 --> 01:43:17.479
remake that we saw on Max recently. But she's just

1660
01:43:17.600 --> 01:43:20.399
done so much good work over the years. She is

1661
01:43:20.600 --> 01:43:27.439
just a phenomenal treasure, absolutely amazing actress. You just can't

1662
01:43:27.479 --> 01:43:30.399
get enough of her. She just brings so much humanity

1663
01:43:31.039 --> 01:43:35.199
to her performances, so much empathy. She's just a phenomenal,

1664
01:43:36.680 --> 01:43:42.119
phenomenal performer. Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, so a huge fan.

1665
01:43:42.359 --> 01:43:45.199
I just think she's just amazing and that is a

1666
01:43:45.319 --> 01:43:50.560
remarkable performance in First Contact. So just happy birthday, Madeir.

1667
01:43:50.760 --> 01:43:55.359
We do indeed love you here on this program. Shockingly,

1668
01:43:55.680 --> 01:43:58.159
people are like, what who was in wat Star Trek?

1669
01:43:58.279 --> 01:44:02.640
But yes, Keith Sutherland is who we're here now. Keith Sutherland,

1670
01:44:02.960 --> 01:44:05.600
voice actor who lent his voice back on the Star

1671
01:44:05.720 --> 01:44:09.119
Trek animated series, the first season episode one of our

1672
01:44:09.119 --> 01:44:12.239
big favorites that we all love, Yesteryear, probably one of

1673
01:44:12.239 --> 01:44:15.000
the best episodes, not just of the animated series but

1674
01:44:15.119 --> 01:44:15.880
of all Star Trek.

1675
01:44:16.199 --> 01:44:16.600
That good.

1676
01:44:16.680 --> 01:44:19.359
If you've never seen it, it's amazing. So Keith Sutherland,

1677
01:44:19.680 --> 01:44:22.439
not to be confused with Keith for Sutherland, but Keith Sutherland,

1678
01:44:22.479 --> 01:44:26.600
who played Sepek in that episode. Very happy birthday to

1679
01:44:26.680 --> 01:44:31.359
the phenomenal Wallace Sean okay, who we all love an adore,

1680
01:44:31.560 --> 01:44:35.079
I would hope the actor and playwright, let's not forget that,

1681
01:44:35.439 --> 01:44:39.199
who played Grand negas Zek on Deep Space nine okay

1682
01:44:39.319 --> 01:44:41.920
and then outside of Star Trek. While Sewan is of

1683
01:44:41.960 --> 01:44:47.600
course beloved by generations for his portrayal of Vizzini in

1684
01:44:48.000 --> 01:44:51.159
The Princess Bride, one of the greatest cozies.

1685
01:44:52.199 --> 01:44:52.680
Savable.

1686
01:44:53.399 --> 01:44:55.560
I don't think that word means what you think it means,

1687
01:44:55.880 --> 01:44:59.960
which we say on this show only time for various reasons.

1688
01:45:01.039 --> 01:45:05.079
But yes, amazing comedy gold and if you've never seen

1689
01:45:05.159 --> 01:45:09.039
a tremendous uh from the heyday of the early early

1690
01:45:09.159 --> 01:45:13.279
birth of indie cinema, My Dinner with andre Is. You

1691
01:45:13.319 --> 01:45:17.279
should definitely check out very autobiographical, autobiographical movie, but it

1692
01:45:17.359 --> 01:45:20.520
is absolutely amazing. While Sean is just a gem, He's

1693
01:45:20.560 --> 01:45:21.680
done tons and tons of things.

1694
01:45:21.760 --> 01:45:23.000
He's put in great.

1695
01:45:22.840 --> 01:45:25.520
Pictures like Hannah and her sisters, I mean really really

1696
01:45:25.800 --> 01:45:30.439
phenomenal asset. He just exudes New York like very few

1697
01:45:30.479 --> 01:45:34.960
people do. So wonderful performer Grand nagas Zach. We salute you,

1698
01:45:35.760 --> 01:45:38.600
and off to go and salute my Grand nagas Zach

1699
01:45:38.680 --> 01:45:42.039
action figure at some point tonight. Happy birthday to the

1700
01:45:42.119 --> 01:45:46.800
lovely and talented Tracy Scoggins, actress who played the role

1701
01:45:46.960 --> 01:45:51.039
of Guilora Rajal on Star Trek's Eat Space nine third

1702
01:45:51.119 --> 01:45:56.840
season episode Destiny. However, Star Trek fans are usually fans

1703
01:45:56.880 --> 01:46:02.720
of other science fiction properties as well, and the wonderful

1704
01:46:04.119 --> 01:46:08.319
miss Scoggins for her turn on Babylon five, where she

1705
01:46:08.399 --> 01:46:15.439
played Captain Elizabeth Lockley and right several episodes of that,

1706
01:46:15.479 --> 01:46:17.479
at least a couple episodes of that, and on they

1707
01:46:17.520 --> 01:46:21.800
did a spin off series called Crusade that's definitely really good,

1708
01:46:21.880 --> 01:46:23.800
and she did I think was in every episode of

1709
01:46:23.880 --> 01:46:26.279
that as well, So really, really a lot of times

1710
01:46:26.359 --> 01:46:29.039
people have not seen Babylon time or check it out,

1711
01:46:29.119 --> 01:46:33.800
but good stuff Maynard and and she definitely did a

1712
01:46:33.840 --> 01:46:34.840
great job on that show.

1713
01:46:35.239 --> 01:46:37.920
I'll just say, especially if you like Star Trek Deep

1714
01:46:38.000 --> 01:46:40.520
Space nine, I think you'll like Babylon five.

1715
01:46:41.039 --> 01:46:44.279
Yeah, it gets a weird vibe right because they some

1716
01:46:44.399 --> 01:46:46.960
of their special effects. It was during like what I

1717
01:46:47.640 --> 01:46:50.840
call the infancy of c G right. But it's a

1718
01:46:50.920 --> 01:46:55.479
well written show, really really smartly written and beautiful design

1719
01:46:55.560 --> 01:46:58.239
all the way through and some great performances. So check

1720
01:46:58.279 --> 01:47:00.439
her out in that. If you're a Tracy Scotts fan,

1721
01:47:01.159 --> 01:47:03.079
you do not want to miss that as well. And

1722
01:47:03.279 --> 01:47:06.279
then Happy Birthday as well. So Tommy Earl Jenkins, actor

1723
01:47:06.319 --> 01:47:11.239
of voice Commander Adrik, who love this character on Star

1724
01:47:11.359 --> 01:47:14.239
Trek Prodigy first and second season episodes preludes and who

1725
01:47:14.319 --> 01:47:17.600
saves the Saviors, We of course are talking about very

1726
01:47:17.680 --> 01:47:22.680
cool Avian winged commander Adric, who is very very cool.

1727
01:47:22.840 --> 01:47:26.960
And I was ready for a whole spin off series

1728
01:47:27.079 --> 01:47:30.399
from Prodigy with that character because he was such a badass.

1729
01:47:33.479 --> 01:47:37.520
Well do you like in a drink like backstory series?

1730
01:47:37.840 --> 01:47:41.239
You know, dude, what I would pay for is I

1731
01:47:41.279 --> 01:47:47.239
would like to see, Ah, how do I phrase it

1732
01:47:47.439 --> 01:47:49.079
in a way that doesn't piss people off.

1733
01:47:50.840 --> 01:47:53.079
I'd just let it go, all right, Is it okay?

1734
01:47:53.840 --> 01:47:56.520
I would like you're very kind. I would like to

1735
01:47:56.640 --> 01:47:59.920
have a spin off series or just a one time

1736
01:48:00.720 --> 01:48:03.640
comedy movie, if you'll give that to me right where

1737
01:48:03.800 --> 01:48:08.039
I can. Basically a Drenk and jenkom Pog in a

1738
01:48:08.079 --> 01:48:13.760
shuttle craft do nothing but endless bird on pud pud pud,

1739
01:48:14.119 --> 01:48:18.079
over and over and over again. If there's some some juxtaposition,

1740
01:48:18.159 --> 01:48:22.199
they're trapped in together and jenkoin Pog just can't help

1741
01:48:22.239 --> 01:48:24.760
himself and it just gets worse and worse. I would

1742
01:48:25.920 --> 01:48:27.800
pay vast sums of money to see that.

1743
01:48:28.359 --> 01:48:28.760
I love it.

1744
01:48:29.279 --> 01:48:32.039
If you need a writer, call me. Yeah. So that's

1745
01:48:32.079 --> 01:48:34.800
what I got for birthdays this week. Let's swan song

1746
01:48:34.880 --> 01:48:36.800
our Way into the Sunset with Uncle Jim.

1747
01:48:38.119 --> 01:48:40.800
Well. I don't have quite as many, but I've got

1748
01:48:40.880 --> 01:48:43.920
some good ones. I always steal the Klingons for myself

1749
01:48:44.039 --> 01:48:47.640
unless they're dead. Then Eric gets them, but I get

1750
01:48:47.680 --> 01:48:50.880
the live ones. So we want to say happy birthday

1751
01:48:51.319 --> 01:48:54.159
to Peter Perrows. He was born in Brooklyn, New York,

1752
01:48:54.640 --> 01:48:57.560
and he appeared as the Klingon tactical officer of the

1753
01:48:57.680 --> 01:49:01.720
USS Pog and start with the next Generations season a

1754
01:49:01.840 --> 01:49:04.680
matter of honor. If you don't remember, he's the guy

1755
01:49:04.760 --> 01:49:09.000
that that Riker gets to the conversation with over dinner

1756
01:49:09.840 --> 01:49:12.439
when the Klingon lady says she'll take him to bed.

1757
01:49:13.439 --> 01:49:15.760
He's the one that sits there and explains to Riker,

1758
01:49:16.159 --> 01:49:18.760
I have parents. They look like me. I look like them.

1759
01:49:19.039 --> 01:49:20.880
I do what they do, they do what I do.

1760
01:49:21.359 --> 01:49:25.479
That was him. He was a great character, and Happy birthday.

1761
01:49:26.199 --> 01:49:29.079
We also want to say happy birthday to Bill Bolander.

1762
01:49:29.159 --> 01:49:32.560
He played the albino the Star Trek Deep Space nine

1763
01:49:32.640 --> 01:49:37.319
second season episode blood Oaths and although this next one's

1764
01:49:37.479 --> 01:49:40.479
not a Klingon, I bet you she'd make a great klingon.

1765
01:49:41.039 --> 01:49:45.319
We want to say happy birthday to Whoopee Goldberg. She's

1766
01:49:45.359 --> 01:49:48.760
the actor and comedian who portrayed Guying in starting in

1767
01:49:48.840 --> 01:49:52.319
the second season The TNG. She also appeared in Generations

1768
01:49:52.760 --> 01:49:56.239
and Nemesis and two episodes of Picard. She earned a

1769
01:49:56.359 --> 01:50:00.000
Saturn Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress from the Account

1770
01:50:00.000 --> 01:50:03.159
Had to Me of Science Fiction, fantasy and Horror Films

1771
01:50:03.520 --> 01:50:06.640
for her appearance in Star Trek, Generations and I just

1772
01:50:06.720 --> 01:50:09.239
got to tell you, guys, I got an opportunity to

1773
01:50:09.319 --> 01:50:13.880
see her do her stand up comedy right shortly after

1774
01:50:14.680 --> 01:50:17.079
she got on TNG, and I was there in my

1775
01:50:17.159 --> 01:50:20.079
Star Trek uniform and the whole nine yards wanting to

1776
01:50:20.119 --> 01:50:22.840
get her autograph. I never got close enough. But she

1777
01:50:23.600 --> 01:50:28.880
was hilarious. I mean, she just she was great. She

1778
01:50:29.000 --> 01:50:33.760
took she took the newspaper, your local newspaper, and all

1779
01:50:33.880 --> 01:50:36.560
of the jokes that she told were in reference to

1780
01:50:37.279 --> 01:50:42.000
situations and politicians and things that were going on locally.

1781
01:50:42.239 --> 01:50:45.079
And you know, think about that for a second. How

1782
01:50:45.159 --> 01:50:48.479
many cities does she go to? How many shows does

1783
01:50:48.560 --> 01:50:51.199
she do? And she takes the time to go through

1784
01:50:51.279 --> 01:50:55.000
the paper and personalize all of the jokes to the

1785
01:50:55.119 --> 01:50:59.880
area that she's that she's in. Just absolutely phenomenal. Love

1786
01:51:00.079 --> 01:51:04.840
of will Be Goldberg. All right, guys, Well that wraps

1787
01:51:04.960 --> 01:51:07.640

1796
01:51:40.840 --> 01:51:44.520
favorite guys in Star Trek. LeVar Burton was awarded with

01:53:47.000 --> 01:53:50.199
have done, said President Biden at the White House ceremony.

1824
01:53:50.840 --> 01:53:53.039
I just think that that's really special. I mean, I

1825
01:53:53.159 --> 01:53:56.159
think nobody on this podcast would deny the contributions that

1826
01:53:57.039 --> 01:54:00.800
Levarbera has made, not only to Star Trek, but obviously

1827
01:54:01.119 --> 01:54:03.199
you know, things like reading Rainbow, which I think is

1828
01:54:03.239 --> 01:54:07.319
probably what this this award feeds directly into. And I

1829
01:54:07.439 --> 01:54:11.720
just think it's really cool to honor these people that

1830
01:54:11.960 --> 01:54:14.720
do these things that you know, if you talk to

1831
01:54:14.800 --> 01:54:17.039
like eight out of ten people, they'd be like, oh yeah,

1832
01:54:17.199 --> 01:54:19.560
reading Rainbow, I totally know what that's all about. And

1833
01:54:19.640 --> 01:54:25.560
it's like visceral in our American memory and like what

1834
01:54:25.880 --> 01:54:29.920
makes us up? So just really special? What a great actor.

1835
01:54:30.119 --> 01:54:33.640
Jordie Laford is amazing, of course, and LeVar Burton is

1836
01:54:33.720 --> 01:54:37.399
also amazing. So that is what I have to say

1837
01:54:37.439 --> 01:54:42.560
about mister Burton and his new award. Paul, I think

1838
01:54:42.600 --> 01:54:44.239
that we might have just a little bit of time

1839
01:54:44.359 --> 01:54:45.920
left here. Do you want to talk to us about

1840
01:54:46.800 --> 01:54:48.119
some cool Netflix stuff?

1841
01:54:49.119 --> 01:54:49.439
I will.

1842
01:54:49.520 --> 01:54:53.199
And it may not be cool, So it may be

1843
01:54:53.399 --> 01:54:57.680
the opposite of cool, maybe the antithesis of cool. But

1844
01:54:57.960 --> 01:54:59.680
and we don't know for sure. All we can do

1845
01:54:59.880 --> 01:55:03.239
is is a surmise from the facts presented towards us.

1846
01:55:03.479 --> 01:55:07.399
As Sherlock Holmes would say, But it appears that Netflix

1847
01:55:07.520 --> 01:55:11.399
just made the same Star Trek mistake that Paramount plused it.

1848
01:55:12.399 --> 01:55:16.960
Because Netflix just made that same error by apparently, I

1849
01:55:17.079 --> 01:55:21.439
must say apparently here not renewing Star Trek Prodigy for

1850
01:55:21.600 --> 01:55:27.239
season three. What because news is broken that Star Trek

1851
01:55:27.359 --> 01:55:32.399
Prodigy creators and showrunners Kevin and Dan Hageman have signed

1852
01:55:32.479 --> 01:55:37.000
on to write a live action Lego Ninjago movie for Universal.

1853
01:55:38.159 --> 01:55:40.720
And while that's great news for the Hegeman brothers and

1854
01:55:40.880 --> 01:55:43.840
for Lego fans, it's kind of bad tidings for more

1855
01:55:43.840 --> 01:55:46.720
Star Trek Prodigy on Netflix because it's going to be

1856
01:55:46.920 --> 01:55:52.159
you know, it could be keeping them a little too busy,

1857
01:55:52.239 --> 01:55:54.560
but we don't know, we don't know. Of course, there's

1858
01:55:54.600 --> 01:55:57.399
no mention of Aaron Walke, okay, and it could be

1859
01:55:57.720 --> 01:55:59.720
that basically, you know, they're handing the keys over to

1860
01:55:59.760 --> 01:56:02.800
Aaron and probably know. So let's not get totally you know,

1861
01:56:04.279 --> 01:56:07.520
fall into our you know, bowl of cock. Yeah yet, Yeah,

1862
01:56:07.560 --> 01:56:09.119
it's not time to put your face in the ball

1863
01:56:09.159 --> 01:56:12.840
of cock yet, okay. Following a decade fan campaign, Star

1864
01:56:12.840 --> 01:56:15.119
Trek Prodigy was acquired by Netflix in late twenty twenty

1865
01:56:15.119 --> 01:56:18.920
three at the Paramount Plus brittingly abruptly canceled the beloved

1866
01:56:19.000 --> 01:56:26.439
CGI animated series was Awesome, followed by all twenty episodes

1867
01:56:26.479 --> 01:56:29.439
of Star Trek Prodigy Season two releasing on Netflix in

1868
01:56:29.520 --> 01:56:32.439
July twenty twenty four, and guess what, Prodigy, You got

1869
01:56:32.560 --> 01:56:36.159
huge numbers over there on Netflix two. Despite Star Trek

1870
01:56:36.199 --> 01:56:40.000
Prodigy Season two's perfect hundred percent freshcore ninety six percent

1871
01:56:40.159 --> 01:56:42.920
audience score and Rotten Tomatoes. Netflix hasn't budged on ordering

1872
01:56:42.960 --> 01:56:46.920
Star Trek Prodigy season three yet. Is the word I

1873
01:56:46.960 --> 01:56:49.840
will add, because in these times we live in, you

1874
01:56:49.960 --> 01:56:53.399
must cling to your optimism. And I don't know that

1875
01:56:53.600 --> 01:56:57.520
it's a done no, yes or no, but we shall see.

1876
01:56:57.560 --> 01:56:58.600
That's the information I have.

1877
01:56:59.039 --> 01:57:00.840
Based on the Altima block line.

1878
01:57:01.439 --> 01:57:03.560
Yeah, we'll see what happens. But it doesn't look so

1879
01:57:03.640 --> 01:57:04.439
good a bit on this.

1880
01:57:04.760 --> 01:57:06.720
But you know, it's not like new a.

1881
01:57:06.760 --> 01:57:09.359
Whole series Lego named Jago. I'm pretty sure Dan and

1882
01:57:09.439 --> 01:57:11.960
Kevin could bang that screenplay out and about it, you know,

1883
01:57:12.199 --> 01:57:13.680
an afternoon with a sixth bag.

1884
01:57:13.920 --> 01:57:15.000
I mean, yeah, And.

1885
01:57:15.920 --> 01:57:19.680
Here's what I'm hoping for, Paul, is like you'll remember

1886
01:57:19.760 --> 01:57:26.760
that Futurama, like an amazing franchise, has come back over

1887
01:57:26.960 --> 01:57:29.239
and over again over the course of like ten or

1888
01:57:29.319 --> 01:57:32.000
twelve years, and they just like produce a little thing

1889
01:57:32.119 --> 01:57:34.640
every now and then, and so I'm kind of hoping

1890
01:57:34.720 --> 01:57:37.600
for the same thing for lower decks. You know, let's

1891
01:57:37.640 --> 01:57:41.880
say we we don't get more straight away, well we

1892
01:57:42.000 --> 01:57:43.079
might get more in the future.

1893
01:57:43.600 --> 01:57:43.960
Yeah, I know.

1894
01:57:44.479 --> 01:57:47.239
And you know there's something similar with like the expanse, right,

1895
01:57:47.319 --> 01:57:51.600
the expanse died and then you know, other more deep

1896
01:57:51.680 --> 01:57:55.199
pocketed resources came in and picked it up. You know,

1897
01:57:55.439 --> 01:57:58.760
so you never know. I mean Amazon's got more money

1898
01:57:58.800 --> 01:58:01.640
than God. So I mean they're spending more money on

1899
01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:04.439
Rings of Power than you could ever count your whole life.

1900
01:58:04.600 --> 01:58:06.920
So I mean there's just you never know. I mean,

1901
01:58:07.960 --> 01:58:11.880
it's you know, it's still a I mean, look at

1902
01:58:11.880 --> 01:58:14.239
those ratings, look at those numbers. Look at it so good.

1903
01:58:15.159 --> 01:58:17.279
It was a great to make money off this franchise.

1904
01:58:18.279 --> 01:58:22.439
Well, the thing is Aaron Aaron made a comment we

1905
01:58:22.800 --> 01:58:26.239
had him on the show. He said Netflix goes over

1906
01:58:26.439 --> 01:58:33.000
and evaluates their shows every six months. He said they

1907
01:58:33.079 --> 01:58:37.279
may not certain at numbers renewal. Could they do final

1908
01:58:37.439 --> 01:58:42.000
numbers in December January, So there's still a possibility to

1909
01:58:42.079 --> 01:58:47.199
that Gene get in, continue, get another season. They just haven't.

1910
01:58:47.600 --> 01:58:51.720
They just haven't stayed that yet because maybe they haven't

1911
01:58:51.960 --> 01:58:53.960
where the numbers yet to say they're going to do it.

1912
01:58:54.439 --> 01:58:57.000
Yeah, good point. So I mean from my perspective, man,

1913
01:58:57.159 --> 01:59:00.520
it's just like until Aaron says, no, guys, sorry, we tried,

1914
01:59:00.600 --> 01:59:03.720
but it ain't happen. And I'm going to keep hopefully

1915
01:59:03.880 --> 01:59:06.159
that it that it will because I feel like, you know,

1916
01:59:06.319 --> 01:59:08.840
the the Hagemans don't do nearly as much press as

1917
01:59:08.880 --> 01:59:12.199
Aaron does. Aaron's kind of almost like the public voice

1918
01:59:12.239 --> 01:59:14.760
of the show really, at least on social media. Is

1919
01:59:14.840 --> 01:59:18.560
He's He's very active. Hagemans don't do quite as much so,

1920
01:59:18.720 --> 01:59:20.720
and I think they're kind of behind the scenes. You

1921
01:59:20.800 --> 01:59:22.279
know that they live in Oregon. We can just go

1922
01:59:22.359 --> 01:59:22.840
to their house.

1923
01:59:23.199 --> 01:59:27.880
But U but in the water it's got you know,

1924
01:59:28.079 --> 01:59:29.600
no but but really, uh.

1925
01:59:29.680 --> 01:59:32.399
Road Trip again, such a great show. And uh and

1926
01:59:32.680 --> 01:59:34.840
I still know this this folks out there. I watch

1927
01:59:34.840 --> 01:59:37.119
it's a cartoon for kids, and they're like mixing such

1928
01:59:37.159 --> 01:59:39.479
good star truks by not giving me a chance. But

1929
01:59:39.920 --> 01:59:43.199
but we shall see to be continued. Keep your optimism going.

1930
01:59:43.840 --> 01:59:45.720
Before we go, I just want to add one thing

1931
01:59:45.800 --> 01:59:51.039
real briefly, science fiction fans, this Sunday Max is premiering

1932
01:59:51.119 --> 01:59:54.600
the new Dune Prophecy series, and uh, you know a

1933
01:59:54.640 --> 01:59:56.640
lot of folks who love Star Trek love Dune, so

1934
01:59:57.079 --> 01:59:58.199
I know I'll be checking.

1935
01:59:57.960 --> 01:59:58.439
This shit out.

1936
01:59:58.520 --> 02:00:00.319
I can't wait. It sounds like amazing.

1937
02:00:02.520 --> 02:00:08.000
Wow, I thought that was the upcoming Paul. I'm a

1938
02:00:08.119 --> 02:00:09.159
little bit freaking out.

1939
02:00:09.640 --> 02:00:11.720
Yeah, it's it looks really good. It has a really

1940
02:00:11.800 --> 02:00:14.359
high score on IMDb right now too for the pilot,

1941
02:00:14.479 --> 02:00:18.279
so it sounds like it looks like a winner. Dude,

1942
02:00:18.359 --> 02:00:20.159
I think it's gonna be fun. I'm in.

1943
02:00:21.800 --> 02:00:25.720
Well, that wraps up another show, can you believe it? Incredible?

1944
02:00:29.399 --> 02:00:32.520
Tim Russ is going to be joining us next month.

1952
02:00:53.640 --> 02:00:56.760
would like to dedicate the show to my father. My father,

1953
02:00:57.079 --> 02:01:00.920
guys don't remember, passed away when we were supposed to

1954
02:01:00.960 --> 02:01:04.880
have John Simpson on the show, Derek from Start TUK

1955
02:01:04.920 --> 02:01:10.079
five the final Frontier. My father's scruneral was on Saturday,

1956
02:01:10.600 --> 02:01:12.840
and I just wanted to take an opportunity to say that,

1957
02:01:13.399 --> 02:01:16.680
you know, my father made me the person I am today.

1958
02:01:16.680 --> 02:01:18.880
I learned how to be a husband, I learned how

1959
02:01:18.920 --> 02:01:20.840
to be a father, and I learned how to be

1960
02:01:20.920 --> 02:01:23.399
a man from my father, all the lessons that he

1961
02:01:23.560 --> 02:01:25.880
taught me through my life, and I want to dedicate

1962
02:01:25.960 --> 02:01:28.640
this show to my father. So this one's for you, Dad,

1963
02:01:29.439 --> 02:01:32.520

Thank you, David, No promise, But what's what happened?

1986
02:02:33.479 --> 02:02:39.479
Yeah, we'll see. We'll see what happens. I mean cheese.

1987
02:02:39.600 --> 02:02:42.840
You know, gotta eat moby cheese before it gets too moldy.

1988
02:02:43.520 --> 02:02:48.119
That's the key. Yeah. I think the episode we're going

1989
02:02:48.159 --> 02:02:50.800
to be talking about next week is called Starbased s eighty.

1990
02:02:51.359 --> 02:02:53.319
I'm it's on right now. I haven't watched it yet,

1991
02:02:53.359 --> 02:02:55.640
but as soon as we get off the podcast, I'm

1992
02:02:55.640 --> 02:02:57.520
going to go and watch it and we'll be talking

1993
02:02:57.520 --> 02:02:59.600
about that next week. So next week we'll only have

1994
02:02:59.680 --> 02:03:02.279
one episode, which means we'll probably have time to get

1995
02:03:02.319 --> 02:03:06.119
around a little bit more Star Trek news. So I'm

1996
02:03:06.159 --> 02:03:09.279
your most excellent host, Uncle Jim saying thank you so much,

1997
02:03:09.720 --> 02:03:14.640
hailing frequencies closed, and Star Trek fans are the best fans.

1998
02:03:15.000 --> 02:03:18.720
You better believe it. Good Night, everybody, close that boo window.

1999
02:03:22.960 --> 02:03:23.399
I want you.

2000
02:03:23.520 --> 02:03:24.119
I kind of like you.

2001
02:03:24.600 --> 02:03:27.760
I know I have you, no shame, close that boop window.

2002
02:03:31.920 --> 02:03:32.760
Good night everyone.

2003
02:03:34.880 --> 02:03:36.079
Let's she watched out that.

2004
02:03:38.520 --> 02:03:54.279
Engage. Hello, you have reached the Q continuum.

2005
02:03:54.720 --> 02:03:56.479
We are unable to get to the phone right now,

2006
02:03:56.560 --> 02:03:59.000
because we are busy living in a plane of existence.

2007
02:03:59.319 --> 02:04:03.199
You're feeble mortal minds cannot possibly comprehend.

2008
02:04:04.039 --> 02:04:06.880
Furthermore, it's pointless to leave a message because we, of

2009
02:04:06.960 --> 02:04:09.960
course already knew that you would call, and we simply

2010
02:04:10.159 --> 02:04:12.680
do not care half a nice day
