00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.960
a shout out to Glinda Spratt from California, USA, and

166
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.559
a couple more on my list is I want to

167
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.840
say hello and welcome and thank you for supporting us.

168
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:16.480
To William to tamangy tamud. I think that's how you

169
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.120
pronounced it, Sorry if I bit saed it from Texas.

170
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.320
And last on my list, there's another shout out and

171
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.799
thank you to Ann Gordon from Iowa. Paul who's on

172
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:27.240
your list?

173
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.000
Thanks David. First of all, let's start off with saying

174
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.320
Hello to Frank White. Now, I wonder if that's the

175
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.240
same Frank White from King of New York.

176
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:35.840
I hope not.

177
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:41.480
If anybody knows that particular movie. But Frank White gets

178
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.159
in your subway train, it's time to leave.

179
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:46.799
It's ok He's in Derbyshire.

180
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.159
Now, he's in Derbyshire, so I think it should be okay.

181
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:54.200
But Frank is saying hello to us is a top contributor,

182
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:57.879
by the way, in South Derbyshire, England, which is pretty

183
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.039
much smack dab right in the middle of the UK

184
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.639
there right, pretty much dead center that we have there,

185
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.600
just a little bit to the west of Nottingham, I believe,

186
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.399
and a little bit north of Birmingham. This memory serves

187
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.320
so kind of in that general West Midlands area. There

188
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:19.159
so a wonderful place. I've got a lot of connections

189
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.759
to the UK and hope to be making my way

190
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:23.200
there sometime soon.

191
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:24.679
One never knows.

192
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.879
But it's been calling to me for a while, the

193
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.080
old home roots. So thanks for being a fan, Frank,

194
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.320
and please don't kill any of us. I appreciate that.

195
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:39.279
And it's a little movie joke there for you.

196
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:44.200
And yeah, I just think it's always encouraging to know

197
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.360
that they're Star Trek fans all over the world, like

198
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.879
our friend Marcus Schneider, who's saying hello from Berlin, Germany.

199
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.200
Great to hear from New Marcus. Outstanding to know that

200
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.279
they are Star Trek fans over there. A little bit

201
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.679
further down the road, we're saying hello to our friend

202
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.679
Dario to sell Bitch from the great Land of Israel,

203
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.039
flag prominently displayed there. So wonderful to hear from me, Dario.

204
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.759
And we're in the bedrock of civilization where everything began.

205
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.279
If you want to really get honest about things, let's

206
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.919
say hello to East Africa and let's visit the incredible,

207
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:27.080
gorgeous land of Kenya and our friend listener Fenmo Omnip,

208
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.720
I hope I'm pronouncing that right, Fenmo, I hope, I

209
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:35.840
am femno omnip from the magical land of Kenya where

210
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:37.960
just absolutely stunning versus.

211
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:39.960
Are on all around you.

212
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.240
So wonderful to see what a global phenomenon that Star

213
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.519
Trek continues to be. And we'll pass that spinning roulette

214
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:48.559
wheel over to Uncle Jim.

215
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.639
Thank you, thank you so much. Paul. Well, first off,

216
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.360
i'd like to say thank you, and welcome to the

217
00:12:55.399 --> 00:13:00.679
show to Severino m Carbone, who's listening towards an upstate York. Now,

218
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.720
I gotta I gotta clarify something here. Upstate New York

219
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:11.440
is classified as anything other than New York City. So

220
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.919
upstate New York could be anywhere.

221
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.120
I don't think there's a necessarily.

222
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:29.080
No I've lived, yeah, New York. Anybody that's that Upstate

223
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.120
New York is everything outside of New York.

224
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:38.320
You can google it.

225
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:45.200
It could be anywhere. It's it's it's strange. But so

226
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:50.840
upstate New York, sevar Reno could be anywhere outside of

227
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.840
it could be well, now I'm in Vermont, but.

228
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:58.039
Well, I gotta be honest with you, man, as somebody

229
00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:59.960
who spent some time there, and there's a lot of family.

230
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:04.159
Upstate is really middle Upper Hudson Valley specifically, Okay, so

231
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.639
it's like the Mohawk Valley, Central New York, Southern Tier,

232
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:12.279
Finger Lakes, Western New York. So, uh, there's like four

233
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.519
fists of the state are not Upstate New York. So

234
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:18.080
I'm sorry, that's just uh, I gotta lay the land

235
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:18.639
down with you.

236
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.000
It's just that's just it is.

237
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:27.600
Sorry, I have to disagree because I live there for right,

238
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:31.279
and it's just that.

239
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.559
Sorry, anybody, anybody that's in New York City will cut

240
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.200
you upstate New York and that's yeah.

241
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.080
People in New York City, New York, that's what you're

242
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.080
getting for from the narrow goggles of like of the

243
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:44.960
my borough.

244
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:45.840
Sure they'll say that.

245
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:47.720
But people who are in the rest of the state,

246
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.799
who don't limit it to just New York City, they

247
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:51.840
know better because they know better.

248
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.879
So there you're going. New York don't like to.

249
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.519
Push out misinformation on the air, especially in this time

250
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.799
of year. So for New Yorkers, I apologize. It's a

251
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:06.240
pretty big state. It's perty big. There's lots lots of upstate.

252
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.360
That could be. We also want to say thank you

253
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.440
to Kathy Link who's listening to us from New Hampshire

254
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.759
right around the corner from me. Thank you, Kathy. And

255
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:18.000
we want to say thank you to James Susan Super

256
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:21.360
who's in Buffalo, New York. I wonder if all the

257
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:25.360
snow has melted up there yet. And last but not least,

258
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:28.080
who want to say thank you so much to David Grigo,

259
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.759
who's a top contributor, which means that David participates in

260
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.759
our polls and answers our questions on our Facebook page.

261
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:41.639
And David is an Albuquerque, New Mexico. Isn't that where

262
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.159
bugs Bunny was trying to get to?

263
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.039
No, No, it's the place that he should have taken

264
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:48.600
a left at.

265
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.399
Oh, he should have taken a left.

266
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.440
That's not where he was going. It's always like I

267
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.039
should have taken a left at albuquiky.

268
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:03.639
Okay, all right, all right, guys, So that's our fans

269
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.000
shout outs. And now it's time for our polls. And

270
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.919
I don't have a poll song, but pulls.

271
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.039
Polls, polls, post polls.

272
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:21.360
Polls, Eascar bite.

273
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:29.879
Long poo, Joe kareless more long hole shoe.

274
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:36.159
I kind of getting worried that we're going to have

275
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:37.320
like a pull down song.

276
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:42.159
I was like, and cling on and cling on. That

277
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:50.679
translates into poles, polls, polls, polls, pull going on, all right,

278
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:52.960
So Eric, you want to get us started off with

279
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:54.360
our first poll here?

280
00:16:55.559 --> 00:17:01.360
Yeah, our first poll this week is all about some

281
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:05.200
good stuff here from a Strange New World. Should Captain

282
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:10.599
Angel and Sybock return in season three of Star Trek

283
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:16.759
Strange New Worlds? And according to our Facebook page users.

284
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.799
The people who responded to this poll, sixty eight percent

285
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:23.799
of those people said hell, yes, let's get those people back.

286
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.200
I want me some more Captain Angel and Sybok, and

287
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:31.000
third two percent gave it a no way thumbs down.

288
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.039
So that's a pretty good split. It's like two thirds

289
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:38.200
four one third against. I would count that as as

290
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.240
like general overall support, and I know I personally am

291
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.759
on that same side. I'd love to see more of

292
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.480
either one of those characters. It'd be cool to especially

293
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:53.319
bring back Sybok because they teased us so badly, and

294
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.039
I totally dug the Captain of the Angel character and

295
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.440
would love to see more of them. So yeah, I'm

296
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.079
all in, what about you?

297
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:05.119
Yeah, oh well it's Sybox. He was the best Star

298
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:06.039
Trek movie ever.

299
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:08.759
So I mean I kind of figured you, Jim, You're

300
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:10.920
you're like a that's like a softball to you, that's

301
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:11.599
a that's a gift.

302
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:18.559
Yeah about the other guys, I'm off what so yeah?

303
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:20.440
Nice?

304
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:22.599
Yeah, definitely.

305
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.200
Yeah. You know what's weird about that he had he

306
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:34.200
was going by some weird name like Xavius or Xavier

307
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:40.720
or something. He wasn't using the Namebox, so like that

308
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:46.720
is like his sybock his like uh uh god given

309
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.920
name and his real name is Xavier or Xaviers or

310
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.839
with sybox his real name and Xavier an odd name.

311
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:56.039
I know.

312
00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:58.680
I mean, I just got the sense that it was

313
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.400
it was a uonym that he used in his business

314
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:08.119
about the pirate realms, and that you know, he just

315
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.440
wanted he just didn't want people to know his real

316
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:13.359
name is he was bouncing around doing his thing.

317
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.160
Like an alien's that's the on I'm looking for, thank you?

318
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:26.359
Yeah. Yeah. So this next poll I did specifically for Eric. Now,

319
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:31.599
the preface this the list is long and dignified, so

320
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:36.359
I had to cut it down. So it's a con

321
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:41.880
substantially shorter list, but a fun one nonetheless. So Eric,

322
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:43.200
what's our next pole question?

323
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.880
Our next poll question is from the admirals listed, who

324
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.440
is the worst? I know there are many missing from

325
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.000
this list. I tried to keep it short.

326
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:56.519
So what is this?

327
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:01.880
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and oh no six,

328
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.119
you're one, two, five, just five?

329
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:07.440
Okay?

330
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.200
So of these five admirals, who's the worst. And we've

331
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:17.640
got Admiral Buennamigo, a good friend, I would say, from

332
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:22.039
starting lower decks. We've got Admiral Layton from the d

333
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.200
S Nine Days. We've got Fleet Admiral Cartwright.

334
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.680
From the best Star Trek movie ever.

335
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:35.160
We've got Vice Admiral Doherty from the TG Days. We've

336
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:38.759
got and we've got Eric Pressman from back in the

337
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:43.480
TG Days. So pretty good assortment of different guys. So

338
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:47.960
Admiral Buenaigo got eleven percent of our votes, and I

339
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:49.799
would say, you know, given that he's only gotten a

340
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.200
couple of appearances, that's pretty good. We haven't seen him

341
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.640
too much. But what he does seem very incompetent to me.

342
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.559
So can I ask a question, Yeah, what is our

343
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.960
definition of worst? Okay, well, that's because is it worse

344
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:07.799
like that they're incompetent they're not effective as an admiral,

345
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.839
or worse in terms of them being evil and calculating

346
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:13.720
and manipulative and machiavellian. So like, let's let's talk about

347
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:14.279
what I mean.

348
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:17.119
You know, I think to each their own probably I

349
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:19.920
think you could like define that any way that you want.

350
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:22.480
I mean, to get I guess better data. You could

351
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.480
ask like a better question, right, like, uh, you know,

352
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:27.599
given this, or like which one of these is the

353
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.039
most ineffective or which one of these guys is the

354
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.240
biggest dick or like, you know all that kind of stuff.

355
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.960
What did Dougherty do? I'm trying to remember that. What

356
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:38.480
was his uh uh?

357
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:44.759
He's from insurrection and he was the one who like

358
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:50.880
led the Oh there was a whole saying that he's

359
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:53.480
the he's the like Fountain of Life guy, right, He

360
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:56.640
like he wanted to protect this area so that the

361
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.799
Federation could have access to the Fountain of Youth on

362
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:05.960
one on the Baku planet. So he basically basically yeah,

363
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:09.400
I mean insurrection. It is kind of like he he's like,

364
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:13.680
like the analogy I think would be like the US

365
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:18.160
going into some country and put quote protecting them so

366
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.480
that they can have access to their oil.

367
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:22.960
Oh no, that would never happen. What do you say?

368
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.440
That's basically, isn't it. Yeah.

369
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.359
And then Admiral Layton, he was the one who helped

370
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:38.640
stage the coup I think, to help fight the dominion

371
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:39.880
back in the day.

372
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:43.960
He was like the Yeah, he wanted to put Earth

373
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:46.559
under martial law, that's what it was. Yeah.

374
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:49.480
Yeah, so he wanted to put more I mean, we

375
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:53.759
all know who Cartwright was. And then Pressman to me like, well,

376
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:55.279
hold on, let me read off the numbers and then

377
00:22:55.279 --> 00:23:00.200
I'll go philosophical. Okay soon, Layton got twelve percent, heart

378
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:02.359
Right got thirteen percent. So those first three guys are

379
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:05.240
basically all right in the same range whining we go

380
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.519
Leyton and Kartwright. No, we've got Doherty slightly higher at

381
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:13.839
nineteen percent, and Admiral Eric Pressman was forty five percent

382
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:18.319
of the vote, which I think is I think that's fascinating.

383
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:23.480
Yeah, I'm surprised that he got higher because his only

384
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.599
thing was the whole Prime Directive thing about not being

385
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:31.319
able to use the cloaking technology here. But when he

386
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:34.640
got caught, I guess he turned evil. I'm not exactually

387
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:35.640
sure what his story is, but.

388
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.400
Yeah, I mean he definitely to me, is the is

389
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.640
the guy who's the most complicated one here. I don't

390
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.480
I don't think that he's clearly a bad guy because

391
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:51.599
he had a lot of interest to think about.

392
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:52.759
It's kind of like when.

393
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.400
Cisco does like shady stuff during the Dominion War because

394
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:00.240
he knows that he needs to do that for things

395
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:00.960
to kind of turn out.

396
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:01.160
Right.

397
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.640
Present was kind of like that, you know, He's like, Okay,

398
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:06.880
we need we got to do these things, but it's

399
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.839
it's to stay ahead of the game. So I don't

400
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.559
know for him. For him, I just think that he's

401
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.200
one of those like complex admirals that when I give

402
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:21.279
my little admiral talk at cons which I've only done once,

403
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.000
I sound like I've done it a million times. I

404
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:25.680
did it once, But he was my He was my

405
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:27.920
kind of like is he a hero or is he

406
00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:30.720
a villain? I think he's right on the line. But

407
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.599
forty five percent of our Facebook page.

408
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:35.519
Users thought he was a bad guy.

409
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:36.079
So there you go.

410
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:41.519
Huh, well, he just.

411
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:49.160
Did the accord. He there was a mutiny aboard his

412
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:52.920
ship where his crew was killed. Uh, and then he

413
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:59.200
came back later. Yeah, he's clearly, he's clearly touched. He's

414
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:04.319
he's some don'tut short of a dozen? For sure? You

415
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:08.880
had too hard would let him get away with that? Yeah?

416
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:13.039
Well, I mean the thing about most Starfleet admirals is

417
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:16.119
that remember that, because they're not in the fray, they

418
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:19.880
rely on information from all of their captains that are

419
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:24.880
out there, and so when they make decisions, they necessarily

420
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:28.079
are always making decisions based on kind of like second

421
00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:33.640
hand information. And you know, if they make a bad call.

422
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.160
It's it affects a lot of people, but it's likely

423
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:39.599
based on poor information that they got somewhere.

424
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:46.079
Because of him. We got the Enterprise finalitey that we

425
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:50.039
got because of this guy, and that that alone is evil.

426
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.839
I do know what you're saying.

427
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.920
To create this very episode, and it never happened if

428
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.559
it wasn't for this guy. So yeah, there.

429
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:14.359
I actually kind of like that back, so but it

430
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:15.359
would kind of talk to me.

431
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:21.240
I guess all right, And what's what's our next one? Eric?

432
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:23.119
This one I just threw out there for fun because

433
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:24.359
it was National Dog Day.

434
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:26.160
Yeah, this one's nice.

435
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:28.359
Which Star Trek pet is your favorite?

436
00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:28.960
Uh?

437
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:32.880
And we've got Livingston the Fish, that's Picards fish who

438
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:36.000
got two percent of our votes. We've got Isis the

439
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:41.559
cat from Assignment Earth in Tos got four percent of

440
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:41.960
the votes.

441
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:44.200
The Grudge the.

442
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:47.920
Cat books cat from Star Trek Discovery got nineteen percent

443
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:54.160
of the votes, Porthos, the cheese eating pup from Star

444
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.640
Trek Enterprise got twenty five percent of the votes, and

445
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.400
Spot the Cat Data's wonderful cat who turned one thing

446
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:05.359
gets pregnant of the votes go to Spot and nobody

447
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:07.440
knows how the cat got pregnant as the only cat

448
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:07.920
on the ship.

449
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:08.920
That's kind of weird.

450
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.039
Yeah, it was the holiday, like a cat or something.

451
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:14.400
I don't know.

452
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:19.839
I mean's just getting spilled in those labs all the time.

453
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:21.519
You know.

454
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:23.680
We just saw an example of that in one.

455
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:26.039
Of the episodes of Prodigy this week. Right, So it's

456
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.200
just like somebody sneezes wrong or something else, and you know,

457
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:32.799
I mean it's entirely possible. So you know, I mean,

458
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:36.000
cats will lick up anything. I mean, let's be honest.

459
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:41.279
It's just you know, I'm not on record the only

460
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.720
cat on ship. Well, I'm going down as team Spot.

461
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:46.400
I agree, Spot's the best.

462
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:49.799
Yeah, trouble wasn't mentioned.

463
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:52.960
I feel like part of this is because like Data

464
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.319
has got the strongest connection with his pet, right, I

465
00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:59.039
don't know that you know any of these other well

466
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:01.079
Isis and Gary seven that's.

467
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:01.599
A whole other thing.

468
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:04.559
Well, I would say Captain Archer and Porthos have a

469
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:05.240
pretty strong.

470
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:08.079
Connection, pretty good connection, Yeah.

471
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:08.400
I think so.

472
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:10.680
I think that he like thinks of it as it's

473
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.319
his like connection to the earth and like just being

474
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.839
somebody who's living like a normal life. I don't know,

475
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.039
and Porthos shows up in an awful lot of episodes too.

476
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:23.680
You don't for on a card for a stard truck

477
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:24.799
back wing.

478
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:28.839
He got anywhere.

479
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.519
I actually ejected. I actually ejected Porthos out of the

480
00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:36.799
air lock. And in one game of attack Wing that

481
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:39.680
I played, it was hard to decide was remember to

482
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.559
toss out the airlock?

483
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:43.680
It had to be an innocent dog out of the

484
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:44.680
air I did.

485
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:49.480
A monster. I'm a monster.

486
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:50.839
You should be on the animal list.

487
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:57.240
I personally, I went with myself.

488
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:02.400
Yeah, but there's two grudges. So does each grudge get

489
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:03.160
half of that vote?

490
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:04.440
And there's how that happen?

491
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:08.079
Oh deescimals double grudge.

492
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:13.079
Yeah, at theo point five of a grudge. All right, guys,

493
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:15.799
So that's our Star Trek polls for the week, and

494
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:17.440
I've got some new ones up, so you can head

495
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:20.599
over to our Facebook page and vote on our poles.

496
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:33.599
And now it's time for Cadet training child take it away, Charles.

497
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:39.079
Okay, but there wasn't a lot in these two episodes,

498
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:46.039
but especially for Day, and it's like, okay, Day then

499
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:50.599
is tribles. Tribles start way back in ts with the

500
00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:55.599
Tule the troubles, trobles. Then we jumped to the animated

501
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:03.000
and had more tribles, more troubles, and we thought we

502
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:09.480
were done with troubles. We had trials and tribulations back

503
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:15.279
in DS nine, then we thought they were done with it.

504
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:21.720
Came the Star Trek Short, the trouble with Edwards and

505
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:25.279
the first time we see some experimenting being done on

506
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:31.640
Trible and then Prodigy into the Breach. The first episode

507
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:36.039
the season, you see Rock Talk experimenting with a trouble

508
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:42.279
at trying to prevent them from producing a for Jim.

509
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:50.400
Let's just say DS nine and Mark Talk would not

510
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:51.039
have liked that.

511
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:53.759
Talk.

512
00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:00.880
Mark Talk showed up in twenty two episodes nine, but

513
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:04.319
he is the one that sent the scientist to this planet.

514
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:12.480
That other planet we got Stadium O'Connor of course, I

515
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:16.119
takes that t and g ear with the outrageous Oplana,

516
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.880
and then O'Connor was re showed up in two of

517
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.279
It's a Prodigy, cross Roads and Masquerade. And of course,

518
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:34.359
with our major twist in time change, we have the

519
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:41.160
media universe, which t os is the original series visited,

520
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:49.880
DS nine visited, Enterprise visited, and Discovery visited. So that's

521
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.480
our tie in with that. But I bet Eric would

522
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:54.240
love to talk about fan raiders.

523
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:01.759
Yeah, I absolutely would. Every week Jim puts up these

524
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:05.720
things up on our Facebook page and gets the fan

525
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:09.759
ratings for each episode. We don't have any specific comments,

526
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:12.440
but people give them a numbered rating, and we said,

527
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:14.200
on a scale of one to ten, with ten being

528
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:18.279
the best, what did our Facebook fans rate a triple

529
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:23.920
called quest? They give it a nine point five, which

530
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:26.599
is a pretty good score. I would say that that's like,

531
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:28.720
is that right up there? I didn't look at the

532
00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:30.680
rest of this course yet, but that feels like that's

533
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:31.599
right at the top.

534
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.880
It feels pretty high.

535
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:36.079
It feels pretty high, So that's pretty good.

536
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.400
And then on a scale one to ten, what did

537
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:41.920
our Facebook fans think about the Mirror?

538
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:44.359
Is it called the Mirror Universe?

539
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.799
No, it's called Cracked Mirror.

540
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:47.160
Yeah.

541
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.440
Fan score of eight point six, So eight point six

542
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.880
is nothing to scoff at. It's no nine point five.

543
00:32:56.960 --> 00:33:00.680
Let's see here, scrolling, scrolling, scroll, So yeah, it looks

544
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:02.440
like our highest before this has.

545
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:03.240
Been the breach.

546
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.839
What's up hides with the end of the breach?

547
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:11.880
Okay, there you go nine point five and we had

548
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:14.559
Temporal Mechanics, which was the fourth episode that had a

549
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.759
higher score. So yeah, we're right up there at the top.

550
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:20.039
And then that eight point six I think is I

551
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:21.799
didn't do the math on all these, but my sense

552
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.319
is that that's about average for where most of our

553
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:26.440
fans have been rating these things. We've only had a

554
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:28.480
couple of sevens, but most things have been rated in

555
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:32.039
the H or above. So yeah, so I would say

556
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:34.279
the fans really dug this one or these two, the

557
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:36.680
first one more than the second one, which is very

558
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.799
interesting to.

559
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:43.720
Means, yeah, if you look at like the I don't

560
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:46.240
know if everyone is as much of an IMDb hunter,

561
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:46.680
is me?

562
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:47.400
Right?

563
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:48.640
Do you guys go in there a lot?

564
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:48.960
Oh?

565
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:50.880
I sure do see what people are looking for.

566
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:51.440
Yeah.

567
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:55.480
Yeah, Well it's interesting because I you know, when I'm

568
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.519
done watching, I typically will go and sort of say, okay,

569
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:01.240
what is the fin And that's kind of been my

570
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:05.799
baseline to go check it out right, And interestingly, I

571
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:10.599
mean it's not a huge variance, but on that platform,

572
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:14.760
Cracked Mirror got a higher review than Triple Call Class.

573
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:19.079
So from what we're seeing here, so I was not

574
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:21.920
not by a huge amount, not by a margin just

575
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.280
by a few points. But but Bill, it is interesting.

576
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:27.039
So this is kind of curious to see where people lie.

577
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.800
Yeah, I mean it doesn't surprise me. I think Mirror

578
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:33.960
Universe episodes are kind of fan favorites in a lot

579
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:38.239
of ways. You know, people love them, they love revisiting that,

580
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:41.119
and you know, I mean we'll get into talking about these,

581
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:42.679
but I think this one in particular had a lot

582
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.440
of really cool stuff going on. So it was like

583
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:48.920
quality episode and a new show, and it was Mirror Universe,

584
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:51.719
the perfect trifect of awesomeness.

585
00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:58.639
Well it wasn't actually Mirror Universe, it was alternate.

586
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.840
Well, it was multi it was multi universe. But we

587
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:03.719
spent all our time in.

588
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:07.760
The Mirror Universe, numerous universes, including the Mirror Universe.

589
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:13.679
Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, So Paul, why don't you

590
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:16.840
step in and uh get us started.

591
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:19.800
Get this whole triple a roll in all right, man,

592
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.480
So we'll do both these episodes, so I'll just run

593
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:27.280
through really quickly, give the most cursory update, and then

594
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:29.559
not just really get us bogged down, because I know

595
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:32.360
sometimes it gets full time consuming. So let's start off

596
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:35.400
with the first episode triple called Quest, right, which is

597
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:38.719
to me kind of like somebody just could not leave

598
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:41.039
that toun alone right from the band, and I'm like,

599
00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:47.559
I don't know that. The ill recapped about how they

600
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:51.440
need a special material called bosonite to help kickstart the

601
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:54.599
Proto Star drive because they need to be able to

602
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:59.639
basically create a miniature star to create the Proto drive. Right,

603
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:03.519
that's my understanding of where we're at. So Jane Waye

604
00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:05.960
is like, hey, you know there's a planet. There's a

605
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:08.599
natural supply of it there. So they've beamed down there,

606
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:12.599
and Jacote says he feels like something's off. He just says,

607
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.559
there's only just scant traces of bost tonight. There's not

608
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:17.840
nearly as much as they want. They're cruising around on

609
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:20.559
the planet, surfaces landing party and they run into a trible.

610
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:22.840
And another and another and another, and.

611
00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:26.920
Way out of character, one of the tribles bites rock

612
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:30.519
Doc right, and then a huge triple the size of

613
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:35.000
like you know, you know the boulder in Indiana. Jones

614
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:37.760
throws up right, and everybody runs for their lives, right,

615
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.920
and they jump off of a cliff, and in the

616
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:44.320
course of that jump, a zero is injured, right, And

617
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:47.000
because of that injury as Zero and Jencom have to

618
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:50.719
beam back up to the protostock, right, surprise, surprise, surprise.

619
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:53.000
And this is all reminding me with these big tribles.

620
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:55.000
I don't know if anyone remembers. I'm betting Uncle Jim

621
00:36:55.079 --> 00:37:03.079
remembers a picture called critters. Oh yeah, yeah, eighties sitting

622
00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:06.480
asked that you are right, who doesn't love critics? But

623
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:08.679
that's totally what this episode is remind me of, because

624
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:11.679
these are a lot more kind of mutated and aggressive

625
00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:13.639
tribles than we've seen in the past, right, And they're

626
00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:16.519
just rolling all over the place causing trouble. And then

627
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:18.360
of all things, I don't know that we see these

628
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:20.239
very often. We run into not just a Klingon, but

629
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:24.440
a Klingon scientist. Okay, we're not see too often, right,

630
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:29.079
doctor Kruvong, right, who's been dispatched here to this planet

631
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.559
by Chancellor Martok who's a personal friend of the show,

632
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:37.079
and he's trying to conduct experiments to basically help eliminate

633
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:39.400
the trible menace from kling On society.

634
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:40.239
Right, And so.

635
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:44.760
Rock Talk is very excited to see another scientist slab

636
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:47.440
and says, hey, you know, I think what might happen here,

637
00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:52.280
is if we could get a retrovirus put together here,

638
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:57.639
it might help us get this both knight, because that

639
00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:59.400
both knights right in the heart of this trible nest,

640
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.199
of course, because where else.

641
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:02.440
Would it be.

642
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:12.159
Of course that's where it is from thee.

643
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:11.239
Of course that's where it is.

644
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:14.039
And I love it that rock Talks is so excited

645
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:20.639
by this, you know, happenstantical harmonic convergence that refers to

646
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.840
it as a problem tunity, which I thought was great.

647
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:25.599
It's my favorite word, dude.

648
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:28.000
Problem tunity. And I love I think that to me,

649
00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:29.960
it's one of the nice things about this episode is

650
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:36.400
is basically rock talks perspective and her undying enthusiasm for science, right,

651
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:39.239
and and how she takes it so seriously. So she's

652
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:42.440
in the lab, working away in Kruvong's lab on his

653
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:45.079
bird of prey right, and gets a big hit of

654
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:50.079
the sneezes starts sneezing everywhere. And sometimes when you sneeze,

655
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:53.760
there's parts of your internal systems that might escape your

656
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:56.119
body without you knowing about it, right, And that might

657
00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:56.679
happen here.

658
00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:58.360
Meanwhile, back on.

659
00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:02.119
The protostar, Zero is realizing that his injuries just don't heal,

660
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:05.880
and he says, well, I kind of knew that this

661
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:09.880
body was never going to last forever, and Jenkin Pog says, well,

662
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.679
you know, when something can't be fixed, you can try

663
00:39:11.719 --> 00:39:14.599
to build something even better, which I suspect is a

664
00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:16.599
line that will pay off in a couple episodes. It

665
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:19.079
doesn't pay off yet, but still it's very interesting. So

666
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:23.920
we may be getting some kind of a cool new

667
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:28.679
containment system for Zero down the road, it's my guess.

668
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.400
And then there's a very interesting conversation where Gwynn and

669
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:34.199
Migel talk about looking for purpose in life. That's just

670
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:36.519
kind of basically a filler moment for a little bit

671
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:39.119
of character development, until there's a huge noise coming from

672
00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:41.760
Krouvong's lab and they run in there and there's a

673
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:44.800
whole new creature that has been made from the contaminated

674
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:48.440
cell cut culture that is a result of Rocktks sneezing

675
00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:53.039
into the agar if you will, right, and it's basically

676
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:56.039
kind of like the most ridiculously cutest triple with a

677
00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:58.360
face that you've ever seen, with like eyes and everything,

678
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:02.519
and uh, they decide to name it a Brible for

679
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:08.480
some reason. I'm not one hundred percent short. It's got

680
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:11.320
the little face and you know everything, and there you go.

681
00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:14.280
And if you know, Playmates stold the toy license and

682
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:15.159
screwed it up.

683
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:19.119
So royally they'd have uh, you know, targets, but they.

684
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:21.639
Screwed up, didn't you anyway?

685
00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:22.360
Exactly?

686
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.920
Yeah, Playmates totally like food barred their way across the

687
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:27.480
American retail landscape and.

688
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:30.760
So we don't even get a rock sock figure. Thanks

689
00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:33.000
playmates for really screwing up.

690
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:35.920
You know, if you come on this show, we could

691
00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:38.119
have given you some good advice and maybe save the franchise,

692
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:40.840
but no, we're too busy, all right.

693
00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:43.280
Anyhow, crank.

694
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:45.599
Did I say that?

695
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:54.000
Sorry, somebody forgot to install the filter Today Crumbang calls

696
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:58.599
the Bribble an abomination repeatedly, which is great. And because

697
00:40:58.599 --> 00:41:01.320
of this accident that happened in the lab crew, uh

698
00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:04.800
ROCKTC has like a mini crisis of confidence in her

699
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:07.360
abilities as a scientist, which is really nice to see

700
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:09.840
and just I think it's something that younger viewers can

701
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:11.840
really relate to. It's like I meant to do well,

702
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:14.519
I screwed up, And when you screwed up, you feel

703
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:15.320
really really bad.

704
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:17.360
When you're young, right, you really really do. You're like,

705
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:17.800
you know, no.

706
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:21.559
Excuses, you just feel like your entire self worth is

707
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:24.920
you know, coming apart at the seam. So I really

708
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:27.719
love the Rock Doc characters fondness with science and they're

709
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:31.519
just being so upset when something doesn't go right. Anyhow,

710
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:35.760
the science team splits up into a bunch of different groups,

711
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:38.480
and Doll and some of the other cadets. They place

712
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:44.239
some transporter enhancers around this subterranean uh you know, deposit

713
00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:46.559
of bosonite because they really need to get it right.

714
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:52.880
And so once those enhancers work, Janeway Hologram Janeway upstairs

715
00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:55.800
on the UH on the ship is able to beam

716
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:59.199
the basnite directly into the protocore boom. Really good, we

717
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:01.599
got it. Okay, we make our miniatures suns. But then

718
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:05.199
a giant ship ton of big tribles attacks, right, I mean,

719
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:08.800
just so many of them that they're there. The transporter

720
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:11.320
enhancers have destroyed, so the arrest of the cadets have

721
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:13.159
to come in and extract the science team so they

722
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:16.159
get out of there, right. There's a suspenseful moment when

723
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:20.320
Gwynn falls, Doll catches her and the other cadets along

724
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:23.639
with doctor Kruvang come in to try to rescue them,

725
00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:25.800
and Kruvang is just like, I will go out and

726
00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:28.719
take everyone with me to save my honor, right, and

727
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.840
he so bloodthirsty for the Tribles. He tries to basically

728
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:35.039
destroy the bosonit Vain, which would just wipe out the

729
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:38.559
entire area, right, and Doll's like, don't do it. And

730
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:41.119
then it's very suspenseful. But then at the eleventh hour,

731
00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:45.840
this new Bribele is able to somehow telepathically communicate with

732
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:49.079
the other triples and cause them to cease their hostilities

733
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:51.840
and save the day. So the Bribele ends up being

734
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:55.320
this wonderful thing. So Kruvang is able to go home

735
00:42:56.039 --> 00:43:00.480
and back to Cronos with his honor restored and a

736
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:03.199
way to keep the trible menace at bay. It's a

737
00:43:03.239 --> 00:43:06.719
great message for kids, I think with Rock talk about

738
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:10.440
not feeling like a failure if you make a mistake,

739
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:12.360
and the way she puts it is you know, wrong

740
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:15.480
answers can lead to entirely new discoveries, which is excellent,

741
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:18.079
where your mistakes like a badge of honor. I think

742
00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:22.280
that's a really great for any student anywhere. Student's life,

743
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:24.280
student of anything, right, You're going to screw up in

744
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:27.360
the course of your journey and uh And I think

745
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:29.880
that's a really cool message. And so the episode ends

746
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:32.280
the Protostar Drive is online and they are headed to

747
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:36.800
go find Voyager. So I would give this I kind

748
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:40.280
of would go online with a lot of the reviews

749
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:42.920
I've seen, I would give this one an eight. I'd

750
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:45.760
say a solid eight. You know, it's kind of waffling

751
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:48.559
in between an eight and a nine, but I like

752
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:50.400
the you know line with my convictions. I think it's

753
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:54.599
pretty good. It's a goofy title. I don't know, it's

754
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:57.079
kind of a filler episode, really, I mean to be honest,

755
00:43:57.159 --> 00:43:59.960
I mean nothing in terms of really super high stakes happen.

756
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:03.039
But it's a good episode. It's very entertaining, and rock

757
00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:08.079
Talk definitely carries it through. Have we seen Uncle Jimno?

758
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:13.079
Have we seen Klingons of this ilk on Prodigy before?

759
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:14.840
My memory sometimes fails me.

760
00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:19.400
We did see some Quingons in season one, but not

761
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:24.880
as prominent as this. This guy had a character name,

762
00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:27.639
and you know, they referenced Martok and all that stuff.

763
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.000
So yeah, so I think eight is where I'm gonna

764
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:32.679
land on this one, right, so good stuff fun, but

765
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:36.519
there's absolutely contribute to the mythology of this season's storytelling.

766
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:38.840
Not really, we just needed to go to the gas

767
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:43.039
station and get some gas. So I enjoyed Crack Mirror

768
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:46.400
quite a bit, which is the second episode. At this point, shockingly,

769
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:54.280
Rock has gone against naturalism ethos and has taken the Bribble,

770
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:57.199
and rather than leaving it at its natural environment, is adopted,

771
00:44:57.199 --> 00:44:59.920
it brought it on board the ship. Oh my goodn

772
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:06.440
it's there with everybody on board, and the proto warp

773
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:07.360
is proto.

774
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:09.079
Warp is not working. They drop out of warp and

775
00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:12.280
they see voyagers. Those things must be great, right, Everything's

776
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:14.719
got to be good. Chacota's got a new uniform, he shaved,

777
00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:17.199
he looks good. He's excited to go see Janeway and

778
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:17.880
he's excited.

779
00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:18.440
I wonder why.

780
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:23.000
And meanwhile they ask poland Graham Janeway on the protostart

781
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:26.079
if they wouldn't mind baby sitting the Bribble and they

782
00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:28.800
be o. They're greeted by the Doctor and it's all great.

783
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:31.480
It's the doctor always reassuring. When you see the doctor, right,

784
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:36.039
he's always positive, encouraging. Everything looks great. It's fantastic. And

785
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:38.840
they're talking about, oh, looking forward to me and the

786
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:41.199
Admiral and I bet you're really looking forward to meet her,

787
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:45.400
And the Doctor's like her, what do you mean? Because

788
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:49.039
in this place that we have found ourselves, there is

789
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:54.239
no Admiral Janeway. It's Admiral Jellico. And the Doctor explains

790
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:57.800
along with Jelico, that Janeway perished on the Infinity trying

791
00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:00.599
to save Chicotte from the wormhole all the tight Doctor

792
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:03.719
newm oh my god. And so in a quick bit

793
00:46:03.760 --> 00:46:08.280
of exposition with the Doctor and Rock Talk and everyone.

794
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:10.119
They realize they're on the wrong voyager.

795
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:12.760
Right, that there are they're in some kind of crazy

796
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:20.159
multiple realities overlap, if you will, which we get confirmation

797
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.960
of because everyone's splitting up because there's so many of them. Right,

798
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:27.320
And in the turbolift, some strange kind of energy wave

799
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:31.760
washes over Gwindala, right, and her armband is only created

800
00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:35.320
to basically keep her stable in one reality, not numerous reality.

801
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:39.199
So the other half of the group goes down to

802
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:41.679
Sick Bay and they find this crazy abandoned level where

803
00:46:41.719 --> 00:46:43.960
Sick Bay would have been, and they're realizing, wait a second,

804
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:48.280
Wait a second, every deck of this ship seems to

805
00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:51.679
be conveniently another universe, which I don't know why. It

806
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.280
just magically, you know, split itself out like that, like

807
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:55.639
a spreadsheet, but that's how it did.

808
00:46:56.199 --> 00:46:56.320
Right.

809
00:46:56.800 --> 00:46:59.079
And in this creepy abandoned part of the ship, they

810
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:03.320
run into Dadian Okona, right, who is getting a paycheck

811
00:47:03.440 --> 00:47:05.440
for doing some voice work. So there you go, and

812
00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:08.719
he talks about in this area. The backstory is that

813
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:11.920
the vessels, Oh, you're should be worried about you guys,

814
00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:15.280
because your weapon destroyed the Federation and this ship was

815
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:18.840
left for scrap. So and they're confirmed, Okay, we're moving

816
00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:22.199
to a bunch of different realities, right, And they look

817
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:23.920
out and they see that there's a weak spot in

818
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:26.000
the fabric of the universe. It's created when they proto

819
00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:29.239
worked an interphasic rift I believe Gwynn calls it. That

820
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:33.920
is actually in the process of splintering through Voyager, which

821
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:38.440
is the thing that is responsible for their being all

822
00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:40.760
these different universes on every deck, and it's tied to

823
00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:45.039
their quantum signatures. At some point, somebody even references that

824
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:48.719
there's a Captain Tuvik's in one of these episodes, right,

825
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:52.280
Rock and Zero end up on one deck and they

826
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:57.199
see beings from that Aaron Walke Season one, All the

827
00:47:57.280 --> 00:48:01.280
World's a Stage episode. Remember those same cats that the

828
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:03.760
whole universe is them, right, you know the ones who

829
00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:06.320
saw star check and made a whole life out of

830
00:48:06.360 --> 00:48:10.280
it from the you know, very theatrical. But they basically

831
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:12.559
realize they need to fix this rift if they're going

832
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.480
to basically be able to put all these different universes

833
00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:20.400
back when they belong. So it's crazy. So they ask o'conna,

834
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:23.920
basically tell him to beam them directly up to the bridge.

835
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:26.519
And that's when things really get interesting in this episode

836
00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:29.320
because we realized that in this particular thing on the bridge,

837
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:32.079
it is not just another universe, it's a mirror frickin universe.

838
00:48:32.159 --> 00:48:32.440
Okay.

839
00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:34.800
And we get a look at Jane Way and there

840
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:39.000
she is, and I must say, other hosts, judge me

841
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:41.199
if you will, but Janeway is looking pretty hot in

842
00:48:41.280 --> 00:48:44.360
her outfit here and you know her evil you know

843
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:49.639
plant there, Yeah, with her you know, sleeveless, you know,

844
00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:51.880
leather outfit on or whatever you want to call it. Okay,

845
00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:53.599
I'm I'm a sick individual.

846
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:54.079
What do you want?

847
00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:56.920
But she's looking pretty good, and she's even got like,

848
00:48:57.320 --> 00:48:59.679
you know, seven of Nine's like borg implanted on her

849
00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:01.519
fore head, right, and she's just having all kinds of

850
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:05.239
fun being evil along with Evil Chikote, and Evil Chicote

851
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:07.440
wants to put Murph in the Agonizer because this is

852
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:10.719
the mirror universe, right, but Murph kicks his ass because

853
00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:13.480
Murph's taking his new job as security officers a art.

854
00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:18.119
So once he's been ass kicked, Archkote masquerades as the

855
00:49:18.159 --> 00:49:20.519
evil Twinchkote in order to be able to get them

856
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:22.239
up to the bridge, but they run a foul of

857
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:26.679
Evil Janeway because she realizes intuitively that that is not

858
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:30.119
her real Evil Chakota. And there's a funny moment where

859
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:32.679
they're in cetacean ops and they realize that even the

860
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:36.360
whales are evil, as jenkin Pog says, right, So they're

861
00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:39.280
being hunted throughout the ship. Janeway's trying to find them.

862
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:44.360
Evil Chakota is hunting them, and then Janeway ambushes them

863
00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:47.559
eventually on the bridge. But then before all this nonsense

864
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:50.719
resolves itself, jenkin Pog trips the force field but lists

865
00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:53.679
to escape. They are sealed on the bridge so they

866
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:56.039
can recalibrate the deflector dish, because this is you know,

867
00:49:56.159 --> 00:49:58.039
how many times have we used the deflector dish to

868
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.280
help solve a problem? Right, It's like, you know, it's

869
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:04.519
your emergency flashlight, you know, when things are screwing, you

870
00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:08.239
just recalibrate it in a special way whatever the plot requires,

871
00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:10.320
and there you go. And so that's how they're going

872
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:13.559
to basically seal the weak spot in the fabric of

873
00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:18.719
the universe, right, and fix that interphasic rift that's causing

874
00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:21.360
all this, Right, So they're going to use the deflected

875
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:23.519
to do that. But before they can do it, and

876
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:26.440
you know, apparently the reflected has to like warm up

877
00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:29.800
a bit like a nineteen sixties television so of course

878
00:50:29.960 --> 00:50:33.119
ready to go, it takes a little time, right, So

879
00:50:33.239 --> 00:50:35.880
they're waiting for that to recalibrate. Guess what the Loom

880
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:39.320
show up. Okay, the evil monstrous time eating Loom people.

881
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:42.039
So the Loom are there and they attack the ship

882
00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:46.599
and Evil Janeway has a great line she says to

883
00:50:47.639 --> 00:50:52.760
the murph, drop it goo bag, which's pretty funny, and

884
00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:55.960
there's a lot of Hey, you know, your ass is

885
00:50:56.079 --> 00:50:58.199
just as much at stake of dying as ours is

886
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:03.559
pleading between to Evil Janeway Mira Janeway and says, you know, listen,

887
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:05.760
you're going to get destroyed too. If we can just

888
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:10.440
use the Deflector dish, everybody can go back where they belong.

889
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:13.079
And it's like we never even met, and Janeway kind

890
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:16.559
of agrees. She's like, okay, you know, doesn't mean we're friends,

891
00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:19.480
but what you're saying makes sense, so she agrees as

892
00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:25.400
the plan to defeat the Loom. The Loom bursts through though,

893
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:28.840
because it takes a while, right, and it's very suspenseful

894
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:32.920
because it looks like Gwynn is just about to be devoured.

895
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:33.000
By the Loom.

896
00:51:33.079 --> 00:51:34.000
I mean, it really does.

897
00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:36.559
But right at that same moment, she manages to hit

898
00:51:36.599 --> 00:51:42.400
the button to fire the Deflector and then everything is good.

899
00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:49.840
The Loom are destroyed, and finally, finally Chacote is reunited

900
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:55.320
with his Janeway, the real Janeway, the Admiral Janeway, and

901
00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:59.159
we discovered that Tysis and Neom are still alive because

902
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:02.719
we're back where we needed to be. So finally we've

903
00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:05.920
been reunited and everyone is back. And I thought this

904
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:07.239
was a fun episode, right.

905
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:08.039
I enjoyed it.

906
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:15.519
Again, not a huge plot. Advancer for the whole season

907
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:18.679
as such. So these were two kind of standalone episodes

908
00:52:18.679 --> 00:52:20.400
that just kind of moved things along a little bit.

909
00:52:20.880 --> 00:52:24.239
But it's great to see the reunion happened between Chakota

910
00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:26.599
and Jane Way, it feels like the chaos is starting

911
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:29.920
to diminish a bit and that everyone is back where

912
00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:33.599
we need to be. And so now that we're all

913
00:52:33.719 --> 00:52:36.559
reunited again, it feels like we're going to start to

914
00:52:36.639 --> 00:52:39.559
accelerate and move towards whatever those plot threads are that

915
00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:43.840
take up these next six episodes. So for me, I

916
00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:45.519
would give this one a nine. I thought this one

917
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:50.199
was very entertaining. It moved really quickly. I love the

918
00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:55.280
different aspects of things, I love the Mirror universe. It

919
00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:57.559
was very intrigued by the way things go, like the

920
00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:02.079
dynamic relationship between the cadets. So yeah, I think a

921
00:53:02.159 --> 00:53:05.760
good solid nine eight on the first one. So that's

922
00:53:05.840 --> 00:53:08.599
my take, and I think those were a couple of

923
00:53:08.599 --> 00:53:11.239
pretty good episodes. But I don't mind admitting I'm really

924
00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:13.920
looking forward to a good, solid two parter again where

925
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:17.880
we're getting back into the the actual focus and drive

926
00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:22.719
of this season's overall arching plot. So ready for that

927
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:25.679
and next week, we'll have another two parter which is

928
00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:30.199
going to be great. So excited to go. Thanks appreciate it. Fellas,

929
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:31.239
who's going after me?

930
00:53:32.760 --> 00:53:36.440
That would be Dave. Hello.

931
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:44.199
Yeah, So I I was really hoping for that triple

932
00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:47.280
episode to be a little bit better. But here's my

933
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:52.480
take on it. So, I liked the idea that they

934
00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:56.480
came across. I guess you could call like a triple

935
00:53:56.519 --> 00:53:59.079
homeworld in a sense of trying. They're like the uh,

936
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:03.639
I don't know, castaways, the Pilgrims, trying to find another

937
00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:08.199
home world after the Kleanons apparently destroyed those from the past.

938
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:12.159
But so I like the idea that there are different sizes.

939
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:18.960
It was interesting the idea about the Tribles kind of like,

940
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:24.119
I don't know, there was just something about it that

941
00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:27.079
just didn't feel right to me. About the idea that

942
00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:33.719
Tribbles had a society where they were in kind of

943
00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:39.159
like a what's the word, kind of like a bug

944
00:54:41.079 --> 00:54:43.599
thing that they got going on, you know, the whole

945
00:54:44.199 --> 00:54:48.199
unification kind of thing. They just kind of like as

946
00:54:48.239 --> 00:54:50.639
they were rolling around, it just seemed so synchronized. It

947
00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:53.960
was just like it just didn't seem tribble to me.

948
00:54:54.159 --> 00:54:56.599
It just seemed like a different type of specie that

949
00:54:56.719 --> 00:54:59.159
was just like, okay, well what happened like a hi.

950
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:01.960
Hi, there you go, that's the word because they've been

951
00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:03.119
and whatnot.

952
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:06.679
Yeah, so that part kind of bugged me a little bit,

953
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:10.519
just because you know, Triples are from ts or in instance.

954
00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:16.320
You know, they were just mainly focus on eating and multiplying,

955
00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:18.960
which they kind of were here as well, but it

956
00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:22.800
was just I don't know, looking deep and deeper into it,

957
00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:25.599
it was just kind of like trying to get the

958
00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:28.360
whole culture aspect of them, and it just didn't seem

959
00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:34.679
Triple to me. But yeah, this episode had a couple

960
00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:39.920
of interesting parts to it, and uh, the the whole

961
00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:43.320
area that they were in this kind of remanded me

962
00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:46.280
like the Zerbs. I don't know if you guys ever

963
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:49.840
heard about the Zergs before from StarCraft or anything, but

964
00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:51.920
that's what it reminded me of the Little Home Plan.

965
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:57.480
It was like, Okay, this looks dangerous, so, you know,

966
00:55:57.760 --> 00:55:59.719
just completely looked bare and I don't know how to

967
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:03.320
Triple survive anyway when they landed there, but that's my nickpicking.

968
00:56:03.440 --> 00:56:08.159
But anyways, well, I think the idea was that what

969
00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:10.880
I understood was that the Klingon scientists brought the Tribles

970
00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:15.599
to the planet tried to fix them. The thing went wrong.

971
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:18.639
He created monster tribles, and the monster tribles killed everything

972
00:56:18.679 --> 00:56:22.599
that was on the planet. Maybe I think that's how

973
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:25.079
it went down. At least that was how I read it.

974
00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:27.400
If that was the case, then it might be a

975
00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:32.480
little bit better. But AnyWho, So, yeah, I like the

976
00:56:32.559 --> 00:56:35.440
idea that the Tribble that Rocktok were holding, you know,

977
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:38.039
just kept multiplying every time you go to the next scene,

978
00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:42.079
was like, there's two more and out to multiplying. And man,

979
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:45.440
I don't know what it is about Jacob pod though,

980
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:48.039
He's got the best lines in this entire series.

981
00:56:51.159 --> 00:56:51.840
Dad jokes.

982
00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:57.480
Yeah, I mean when you were talking about with the bird,

983
00:56:57.599 --> 00:56:59.599
you know, all those puns, and now with the Tribles,

984
00:56:59.639 --> 00:57:06.639
just like well yeah, anyways, and especially in the next episode,

985
00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:09.280
Oh my gosh, it's my favorite line throughout the entire

986
00:57:09.360 --> 00:57:11.599
series that he said, now even the whales are evil.

987
00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:20.920
I just couldn't stop laughing throughout that entire episode. But anyways,

988
00:57:23.519 --> 00:57:26.960
back to the triples, that whole mutating tripple with the

989
00:57:27.079 --> 00:57:29.760
eyes and the mouth and the arms, and everything. It's

990
00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:33.960
I was like, Wow, they'd gotten fired with this one.

991
00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:37.760
I was a little surprised of you know, I mean,

992
00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:41.400
I'm I guess it's supposed to look like rocktok because

993
00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:45.440
it came from her DNA, but with the big eyes

994
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:47.880
and everything, and I was just like, Okay, it's kind

995
00:57:47.880 --> 00:57:53.320
of interesting. And but to me, I don't know, I

996
00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:57.360
was a little disappointed in this particular episode. So if

997
00:57:57.440 --> 00:57:59.719
I is anything else concerned, I would have to give

998
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:05.639
episode and eight not quite there. But it was just

999
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:09.920
in a sense that this I was hoping for more anyway,

1000
00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:13.960
but I'm glad that bringing the bubble along, so, I mean,

1001
00:58:14.039 --> 00:58:16.760
that's an interesting name for a trouble. But other than that,

1002
00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:20.079
I was just I was hoping for more but going

1003
00:58:20.079 --> 00:58:29.599
to the next episode, so to me, this, I know,

1004
00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:36.199
I was like, what's that? So anyways, the next episode,

1005
00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:41.480
this one actually surprised me. I was I was actually

1006
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:49.119
shocked to find that this different reality going through a

1007
00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:55.800
turbolift or transporter reminded me a lot of another series

1008
00:58:55.920 --> 00:59:01.840
that I recently just watched, and it reminded me of

1009
00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:04.639
a show called Sliders. Have anybody else heard about that?

1010
00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:07.280
Jim Love Sliders.

1011
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:14.880
Yeah, going from off, yeah, going from different. Every time

1012
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:16.760
they would land on a different floor, it was a

1013
00:59:16.760 --> 00:59:22.360
completely different reality and something similar to like Sliders was

1014
00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:24.519
the exact same thing. Every time they would go through

1015
00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:27.920
the portal, they would end up in a different, slightly

1016
00:59:28.800 --> 00:59:31.400
version of the own reality, and it was just like,

1017
00:59:32.280 --> 00:59:35.880
that's a very interesting take on this. And of course

1018
00:59:36.760 --> 00:59:39.480
if nobody have seen Sliders, the guys have a very

1019
00:59:39.599 --> 00:59:42.440
young Jerry O'Connell in there, which is kind of interesting.

1020
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:47.800
So but yeah, this episode actually really surpried me. I was.

1021
00:59:48.039 --> 00:59:55.920
I was actually really happy actually that this episode kind

1022
00:59:56.000 --> 01:00:01.679
of got a pretty high score with the IMDb and

1023
01:00:01.960 --> 01:00:05.039
Paul and Hoping the other and the host here. So

1024
01:00:06.199 --> 01:00:09.119
I don't know, there is there's a lot to it

1025
01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:13.960
that I thought would really cool, and the whole evil

1026
01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:18.280
whale or the uh, the fact that you get to

1027
01:00:18.400 --> 01:00:22.840
meet past characters from the show, which kind of fun,

1028
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:24.039
and Tuvi's you know.

1029
01:00:26.239 --> 01:00:26.840
Yeah, I don't know.

1030
01:00:27.159 --> 01:00:29.840
It's about this episode. I almost want to make it

1031
01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:33.840
like one of my favorite episodes in the entire series

1032
01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:35.519
right now, And of course it's going to get a ten.

1033
01:00:36.159 --> 01:00:39.760
So I actually really enjoyed it. Not much else to

1034
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:43.760
stage from what I can remember. But this episode really

1035
01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:46.599
surprised me. That's all I gotta say. But yeah, eight

1036
01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:49.199
for the first one, ten for this one, and that's

1037
01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:49.840
my take on it.

1038
01:00:51.039 --> 01:00:52.559
All right, Eric, You're up next.

1039
01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:54.280
Cool?

1040
01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:58.800
Uh treble called Quest first of all, Like the first

1041
01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:01.000
time I heard that name, I was like, Oh, they're

1042
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:03.760
referencing a tribe called Quest. But then they didn't name

1043
01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:06.400
the Trible Quests, so I was a little disappointed that they.

1044
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:11.679
Follow through with that, But I I found that enjoyable.

1045
01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:13.920
I know that the trouble with Edward I think was

1046
01:01:13.960 --> 01:01:16.719
the first time that we heard what the scientific name

1047
01:01:16.800 --> 01:01:18.559
for a triple was. So it was nice to hear

1048
01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:22.920
that kind of recalled here in this episode. It made

1049
01:01:22.960 --> 01:01:27.119
me remember that, uh that star Trek short I do,

1050
01:01:27.519 --> 01:01:30.599
I couldn't remember. It seems to me that there's another

1051
01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:35.639
klingon scientists somewhere in one of these shows that was important,

1052
01:01:35.639 --> 01:01:37.599
and I was I was having a hard time with

1053
01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:45.840
my memory trying to figure out who that was. It was, Oh, yeah,

1054
01:01:46.159 --> 01:01:46.920
that's right.

1055
01:01:48.400 --> 01:01:49.199
Or something like that.

1056
01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:54.519
Yeah, it was to reverse the melting ridge thing there.

1057
01:01:55.159 --> 01:01:57.840
Yeah, okay, so that you know, this guy was a

1058
01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:01.679
little bit reminiscent to me for his like his little

1059
01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:04.360
borgame plan or whatever it was they had over his eye.

1060
01:02:05.960 --> 01:02:08.840
It also, I didn't have a chance to look up there.

1061
01:02:09.119 --> 01:02:13.239
It almost shouted like he had like a spanisher, like

1062
01:02:13.320 --> 01:02:16.599
a Latino style accent. I'm not sure if the actor

1063
01:02:17.159 --> 01:02:19.440
does or not, but he just had kind of an

1064
01:02:19.519 --> 01:02:24.920
interesting English accent as a klingon that I thought was unique.

1065
01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:26.519
So that was cool.

1066
01:02:27.519 --> 01:02:29.880
You know, I already said that problem tunity is my

1067
01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:36.320
new favorite word. Definitely as an apocaly optimist, I appreciate

1068
01:02:36.400 --> 01:02:40.360
a good problem tunity. I love that they pulled in

1069
01:02:40.519 --> 01:02:44.079
the grain from the Station K seven into this one

1070
01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:49.480
where it was that like quadrash quaquadra. Yeah, that's what

1071
01:02:49.559 --> 01:02:50.639
it is, quadri centric kle.

1072
01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:51.000
Yeah.

1073
01:02:52.079 --> 01:02:55.039
So another reference, you know, this one was just like

1074
01:02:55.159 --> 01:02:58.880
reference after reference. I you know, I found it kind

1075
01:02:58.880 --> 01:03:01.679
of like Paul to be sort of like it was fun.

1076
01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:05.880
It was definitely enjoyable. You know, one of those ones

1077
01:03:05.920 --> 01:03:07.880
that doesn't like move the ball forward in terms of

1078
01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:11.320
the story very much, but but has a lot of

1079
01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:13.760
those kind of themes that we see in Prodigy of

1080
01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:17.880
friendship and teamwork and all that all that really cool stuff.

1081
01:03:18.239 --> 01:03:20.039
We did get a little bit of a deeper I

1082
01:03:20.079 --> 01:03:25.039
think Paul references a little bit deeper exploration of rock

1083
01:03:25.159 --> 01:03:31.360
Talks character, you know, where she like loses confidence for herself.

1084
01:03:31.719 --> 01:03:34.880
And I mean, let's be honest, she's the one who's

1085
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:38.400
literally saving the day all the time. And I always

1086
01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:40.000
think it's kind of funny that in this show it's

1087
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:41.960
not the engineer who says the day like it is

1088
01:03:42.039 --> 01:03:46.159
in Coos Star Trek, it's the scientist. I mean, I

1089
01:03:46.239 --> 01:03:48.719
guess it was also Spock, So maybe it's a lot

1090
01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:50.599
of remove but you know what I'm saying, Like rock

1091
01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:53.519
Talk is basically doing a lot of super heavy lifting here,

1092
01:03:54.159 --> 01:03:56.800
and I appreciate that about about her character. But she

1093
01:03:56.920 --> 01:04:00.199
doubts herself in this one, and you know, comes with

1094
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:02.679
that great line don't when you hang you know, don't

1095
01:04:02.719 --> 01:04:04.079
hang your head when you make a mistake.

1096
01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:08.480
We're like Madge Honor. So I dug that.

1097
01:04:10.440 --> 01:04:13.159
For being an episode about tribles, I will say it

1098
01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:16.639
wasn't There weren't like jokes, which was okay because I

1099
01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:18.559
feel like we got some good jokes with O'Connor and

1100
01:04:18.639 --> 01:04:21.480
whatnot in the next episode. But I guess I would

1101
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:23.880
have expected, you know, if you go with the tea

1102
01:04:24.199 --> 01:04:28.559
best triple episode. It's silly and they're they're jokes, and

1103
01:04:28.599 --> 01:04:30.280
there are those kind of like deadpan looks at the

1104
01:04:30.320 --> 01:04:33.239
camera and that kind of stuff. So I would have

1105
01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:35.639
liked to have seen just a little bit more of

1106
01:04:35.800 --> 01:04:39.480
that here. And you know, when the when the Bribel

1107
01:04:39.559 --> 01:04:42.039
comes out, uh, I might be.

1108
01:04:42.599 --> 01:04:44.239
I might be getting one of those left to see.

1109
01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:47.639
What's pretty snugly. So I'll give that first episode an

1110
01:04:47.719 --> 01:04:50.480
eight as well. I think that's a very fair score.

1111
01:04:51.199 --> 01:04:56.400
As for the mere episode, I totally dug it. I mean,

1112
01:04:56.440 --> 01:04:59.559
I know they go through a few different universes there,

1113
01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:02.559
they tease me with Captain Tuvix, but then they don't

1114
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:07.360
actually show Captain Tuvic's shame on them. I do like

1115
01:05:07.519 --> 01:05:09.880
that in this kind of timeframe, so they're supposed to

1116
01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:12.800
be it's like twenty three eighty five, I think is

1117
01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:16.079
the year that they're in. And so at this point,

1118
01:05:17.159 --> 01:05:20.559
like from DS nine, we know that the Terran Empire

1119
01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:26.039
kind of like collapses, right and from the IDW comics,

1120
01:05:27.079 --> 01:05:29.239
if we already use those kind of like our beta

1121
01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:33.039
canon on this, we know that the empire is not

1122
01:05:33.400 --> 01:05:36.360
as cohesive as it once was. A lot of the

1123
01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:38.679
ships that were part of the Terran Empire are out

1124
01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:41.519
there being pirates, kind of doing their own thing. That's

1125
01:05:41.519 --> 01:05:46.320
where Mirror finds himself in the Mirror Enterprise d in

1126
01:05:46.400 --> 01:05:50.199
most of those IDW comics, So it wasn't off to

1127
01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:53.039
me here that we see Jane way she talks about

1128
01:05:53.039 --> 01:05:56.119
the new Terran Armada. So that kind of to me

1129
01:05:56.320 --> 01:05:58.159
is like, ooh, is there a little bit of like

1130
01:05:59.079 --> 01:06:02.159
Surgeons of the Arran Empire happening right now? Is she

1131
01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:04.599
part of the new Taran Armada? That sounds kind of cool.

1132
01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:09.360
Maybe she's the the center, the grand Admiral of the armada.

1133
01:06:09.440 --> 01:06:10.320
Who who knows?

1134
01:06:11.599 --> 01:06:15.119
So I like that little keys in this episode, the

1135
01:06:15.159 --> 01:06:18.119
whale would be an evil, of course, hilarious. Loved it.

1136
01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:19.039
I loved it.

1137
01:06:19.159 --> 01:06:21.039
Of course the whale had like a scar across the

1138
01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:29.000
eye because Mirror, you know, the joke. Majielle had the

1139
01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:32.800
greatest joke in this one. When she comes back. Everybody's

1140
01:06:32.840 --> 01:06:35.880
transported back, and of course she's been hanging out with o'conna,

1141
01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:39.039
right and she she comes back and she says that

1142
01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:46.599
was highly outrageous. It's just like you know, outrageous ocado. Anyway,

1143
01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:48.440
I just would as soon as she said that, I

1144
01:06:48.519 --> 01:06:50.440
just cracked up laughing. I thought that was the best joke.

1145
01:06:50.559 --> 01:06:55.800
So you know, the team is here, they're doing their thing,

1146
01:06:55.880 --> 01:06:58.320
they're sticking together, they're getting through all the different universe.

1147
01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:01.000
They saved the day in the way that they saved

1148
01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:04.440
the day back in that shattered episode from Star Trek Voyager.

1149
01:07:05.159 --> 01:07:08.719
So I really dug this episode for so many reasons,

1150
01:07:08.840 --> 01:07:10.639
and I want to leave Charles a little something here,

1151
01:07:10.679 --> 01:07:14.519
So I'm going to say nine and get out the

1152
01:07:14.599 --> 01:07:15.800
door to nine for me.

1153
01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:27.639
All right, Yeah, were your thoughts?

1154
01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:33.360
Well, one of the things they mentioned the trible episode

1155
01:07:34.199 --> 01:07:39.559
was the destruction on one of the Klingon planets, and

1156
01:07:39.719 --> 01:07:46.960
I don't remember the Tribles ever invading a cling On

1157
01:07:47.079 --> 01:07:47.800
planet before.

1158
01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:51.280
Well that was a reference. But wasn't that also referenced?

1159
01:07:52.440 --> 01:07:54.920
Yeah, go ahead, But we did have.

1160
01:07:57.039 --> 01:08:05.320
A large ship wandering towards the Klingon Empire with the

1161
01:08:05.400 --> 01:08:10.159
remains of words and a bunch of triples it. I

1162
01:08:10.280 --> 01:08:13.480
wonder if that may tie in to wear some destruction

1163
01:08:13.599 --> 01:08:19.239
because I can't picture Kirk, what Kirk did had any

1164
01:08:19.399 --> 01:08:23.199
cause to a Klingon home world.

1165
01:08:24.760 --> 01:08:29.720
No, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I think that reference shows

1166
01:08:29.800 --> 01:08:33.920
up in Deep Space nine. I'm not absolutely certain about that,

1167
01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:37.199
but I think them devastating a Cleon homeworld or being

1168
01:08:37.279 --> 01:08:39.520
real problems with Cleons is later on.

1169
01:08:42.000 --> 01:08:46.640
It might have happened somewhere, but it might have happened somewhere,

1170
01:08:46.760 --> 01:08:53.359
but I'm not sure a where exactly it happened. But okay,

1171
01:08:56.880 --> 01:09:02.239
definitely modifying him to be aside from a triple to

1172
01:09:02.319 --> 01:09:06.279
a small or to a large boulder was rather interesting.

1173
01:09:09.920 --> 01:09:12.520
But that I think the hosts are pretty much summed

1174
01:09:12.520 --> 01:09:15.760
this one up, and I think I agree with the eight.

1175
01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:18.239
On this one.

1176
01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:24.039
And then the Mirror Universe, Uh surprise, nobody had to

1177
01:09:24.199 --> 01:09:28.760
mention in the fact that when Jakota try to take

1178
01:09:28.800 --> 01:09:29.840
him prisoner, it's.

1179
01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:31.920
Like, okay, where's your mustache?

1180
01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:36.239
Oh okay, I'll take some grease and painted paint of

1181
01:09:36.479 --> 01:09:37.640
paint and must paint.

1182
01:09:37.479 --> 01:09:38.600
Of beer on my face.

1183
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:41.880
So it's like, okay, we got to go to the

1184
01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:52.520
traditional b uh Mirror universe with a goatee routine. I

1185
01:09:52.720 --> 01:09:58.720
love the fact of don't trust a cute one as

1186
01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:01.199
of course, like okay, you go with the cute one,

1187
01:10:01.319 --> 01:10:05.199
and the cute one comes in and attacks Eva to

1188
01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:11.479
Chakot and knocks them out, so we gotta learn yep. Oh,

1189
01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:15.479
don't take Murrah first, He's a dangerous one.

1190
01:10:18.520 --> 01:10:18.680
Ah.

1191
01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:23.960
I'm sure there were quite a few references in there

1192
01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:32.119
to the Mirror Universe set all confusing at first when

1193
01:10:32.159 --> 01:10:34.479
they were kind of bouncing around. I think every time

1194
01:10:35.079 --> 01:10:38.199
they goes one group go to a turber lift, they

1195
01:10:38.279 --> 01:10:41.560
went one place. Second group got in the turber list,

1196
01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:48.119
they got shifted to it somewhere else. So it's interesting

1197
01:10:48.159 --> 01:10:52.399
how they kind of went back and forth. I forgot

1198
01:10:52.439 --> 01:10:57.119
what series we saw the I think that was Lower

1199
01:10:57.239 --> 01:11:05.039
Decks where we saw the UH creatures trying to emulate

1200
01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:12.159
immolate into the Federation. But that was definitely an interesting

1201
01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:16.000
reference to them, and I think that's where Tuviks was

1202
01:11:20.279 --> 01:11:26.079
so definitely interesting episode. I think I'm go agree with

1203
01:11:26.199 --> 01:11:28.800
the overall group and go with a nine on this one.

1204
01:11:28.960 --> 01:11:32.439
A nine, all right, nine is cool. Nine is cool.

1205
01:11:33.199 --> 01:11:39.000
So before I get started, we are still in an

1206
01:11:39.079 --> 01:11:41.840
alternate universe. We are still not in the prime universe.

1207
01:11:41.920 --> 01:11:47.319
Correct, You mean when the episode's over at the end

1208
01:11:47.359 --> 01:11:48.239
of the Mirror.

1209
01:11:48.039 --> 01:11:55.720
One, Yeah, Jacote is from fifty five. I'm trying to

1210
01:11:55.760 --> 01:11:58.880
figure out the time here, because when they when they

1211
01:11:58.920 --> 01:11:59.880
find the Protosto.

1212
01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:04.119
Yes, we aren't a broken we are in a broken

1213
01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:05.319
timeline right now.

1214
01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:07.880
Right, we're still not where.

1215
01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:11.000
Timeline, but we're on a but we're kind of broken.

1216
01:12:11.079 --> 01:12:12.680
We're on a segment.

1217
01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:17.680
Yeah, we're we're not actually where we specifically want to

1218
01:12:17.800 --> 01:12:22.359
be because the Proto Star was found on the gas

1219
01:12:22.560 --> 01:12:27.359
planet and it's supposed to be on Tesla Mora, So

1220
01:12:27.479 --> 01:12:31.239
we are still currently not in the the real Prime

1221
01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:35.359
universe where we started from. So, and this is relevant

1222
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:39.439
because the triple thing that we're all with that we're

1223
01:12:39.479 --> 01:12:43.680
complaining about and arguing about, isn't real. It doesn't happen

1224
01:12:43.760 --> 01:12:45.840
in the Prime universe because we're not in the Prime

1225
01:12:45.960 --> 01:12:56.640
universe right now, correct Eric, Sure, yep. Because until they

1226
01:12:56.760 --> 01:12:59.960
go back and set and put the Proto Star back

1227
01:13:00.199 --> 01:13:04.119
where it's supposed to be and reset time, everything that

1228
01:13:04.199 --> 01:13:10.039
we're witnessing is basically a Kelvin universe type of a thing.

1229
01:13:10.680 --> 01:13:14.000
Is the easiest way I can come up with it. So,

1230
01:13:14.239 --> 01:13:18.119
having said that, what we what we think we know

1231
01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:21.720
about what happened with the Tribles, we don't know because

1232
01:13:21.760 --> 01:13:25.560
this is a different timeline. So there you have that.

1233
01:13:26.199 --> 01:13:29.479
But I did love the Klingon. I thought he was great.

1234
01:13:29.560 --> 01:13:32.439
He had a little eyepiece kind of reminded me of

1235
01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:37.199
Colonel Clink from Hogan's Heroes. I thought, I thought he

1236
01:13:37.319 --> 01:13:39.720
was great. I thought the line where rock Talk says,

1237
01:13:39.800 --> 01:13:42.159
you know, how can anyone how can a scientist keep

1238
01:13:42.199 --> 01:13:45.800
his lab like this? And there's stuff all over the place,

1239
01:13:45.920 --> 01:13:49.279
and you know, in corners and stuff. But he's a Klingon,

1240
01:13:49.680 --> 01:13:51.680
you know, and he's a quing On scientist. That that.

1241
01:13:52.399 --> 01:13:54.279
I also thought it was great that they mentioned Mark

1242
01:13:54.359 --> 01:13:58.319
Talk because since the end of Deep Space nine, we

1243
01:13:58.399 --> 01:14:00.560
don't know anything about mart Talk. We we haven't even

1244
01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:04.760
heard really his name. So I thought that was cool

1245
01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:12.039
that they mentioned Martak. Jakota mentions the trible outbreak that

1246
01:14:12.159 --> 01:14:17.560
almost brought the Klingon Empire to its knee, and again,

1247
01:14:19.079 --> 01:14:21.680
this is an alternate universe, so we don't know. But

1248
01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:26.840
on Deep Space nine, Wharf is arguing, well, I'm not arguing.

1249
01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:30.359
He's having a discussion with Odo and Bashir, and Otis says, oh,

1250
01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:33.960
the great Trible hunt. If you guys remember that episode

1251
01:14:35.039 --> 01:14:38.399
where Dwarf says that they dispatched hundreds of Klingon ships

1252
01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:42.880
to hunt down and eradicate the scourge of the Tribles,

1253
01:14:43.960 --> 01:14:49.760
and that would have taken place long before Martok was Chancellor,

1254
01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:52.479
so this is an alternate universe, not that it matters,

1255
01:14:52.720 --> 01:14:55.680
but anyways, I loved it. I also really liked the

1256
01:14:55.800 --> 01:15:02.840
Migelle's discussion on the Bird of Prey about vulcans do feel.

1257
01:15:03.439 --> 01:15:06.640
I thought that was some really good character development there.

1258
01:15:08.760 --> 01:15:11.039
I thought it was weird that the triple bit rock

1259
01:15:11.279 --> 01:15:16.439
because rock is made of rock, so in triplet, but

1260
01:15:17.720 --> 01:15:20.840
I'll let that slide. I enjoyed the episode. I really

1261
01:15:20.960 --> 01:15:22.600
enjoyed it a lot. I thought the quing on broder

1262
01:15:22.640 --> 01:15:26.239
Pray looked great. I thought the general quingon looked really good.

1263
01:15:27.079 --> 01:15:31.960
I really liked how Chakota was kind of giving Doll

1264
01:15:32.119 --> 01:15:36.600
support when he reworked the tricorder to find a bigger vein,

1265
01:15:36.800 --> 01:15:39.560
and he kind of gave him some encouragement and said,

1266
01:15:39.600 --> 01:15:43.319
good thinking, Doll kind of, you know, gave him some

1267
01:15:43.720 --> 01:15:48.680
words of encouragement. But I enjoyed this episode a lot.

1268
01:15:48.920 --> 01:15:51.439
And I'm going to go to the nine point two

1269
01:15:52.600 --> 01:15:55.520
on this one. I gotta throw a decimal in there

1270
01:15:55.560 --> 01:15:58.119
because I know Paul likes those. I was going to

1271
01:15:58.159 --> 01:16:01.399
go with the nine point five, but I don't quite

1272
01:16:01.439 --> 01:16:03.479
think it's at that level. So I'm going to go

1273
01:16:03.520 --> 01:16:04.520
with a nine point two.

1274
01:16:06.119 --> 01:16:08.279
That a nine point three or nine point one.

1275
01:16:09.319 --> 01:16:11.199
No, No, I think I'm going to stay firm with

1276
01:16:11.279 --> 01:16:15.039
a nine point two. Okay, I'm going to stay right there.

1277
01:16:15.359 --> 01:16:18.560
Nine point two. Yeah, if there had been more Klingons

1278
01:16:19.079 --> 01:16:20.960
than just one, I might have bumped it up a

1279
01:16:21.000 --> 01:16:23.640
little bit. So maybe a nine point four. You don't

1280
01:16:23.680 --> 01:16:24.159
think I wanted.

1281
01:16:24.199 --> 01:16:28.640
The reference to General Martin justifies a nine point three.

1282
01:16:29.119 --> 01:16:31.479
I mean the Martin reference alone, I think it's worth

1283
01:16:31.560 --> 01:16:33.800
you know, one tenth of the additional vote.

1284
01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:40.279
You know, he's you know, yeah, you know, you talked

1285
01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:41.680
me into it. I think I'll go with a nine

1286
01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:42.199
point three.

1287
01:16:42.760 --> 01:16:49.520
Yes, excellent. I'm tracking the decimal system. I'm learning to understand.

1288
01:16:51.680 --> 01:16:57.279
So now the crack Mirror one is interesting. Did we

1289
01:16:57.479 --> 01:17:00.800
not see a mirror universe? I d w comic book

1290
01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:03.000
with Jane Way and her Pirates.

1291
01:17:05.199 --> 01:17:05.560
Mirrors.

1292
01:17:05.640 --> 01:17:09.760
Yeah, yeah, and I don't remember it was a while ago.

1293
01:17:09.880 --> 01:17:12.640
But did Jane Way have the bored implant in that

1294
01:17:12.800 --> 01:17:14.239
episode in that comic book.

1295
01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:20.560
I don't think she did. She definitely had to like

1296
01:17:20.640 --> 01:17:24.760
cut off sleeve thing going on. But and her hair

1297
01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:28.279
was different. She had like the tall the tall Janeway hair.

1298
01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:32.880
Yeah, I don't remember, but it made As soon as

1299
01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:35.239
I saw that, I immediately thought of that comic book

1300
01:17:35.279 --> 01:17:39.239
that we reviewed on Comic Corner, like Ages and Ages

1301
01:17:39.439 --> 01:17:43.560
and Ages Ago. I love the evil Whales thing. I

1302
01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:45.279
wish they had put a go tea on the whale.

1303
01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:45.880
I would have lost.

1304
01:17:46.119 --> 01:17:46.560
I love.

1305
01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:51.479
When Jacob does even the whales are evil. I just

1306
01:17:51.840 --> 01:17:56.399
I lost it. Jacob is great. Evil whales are great.

1307
01:17:56.840 --> 01:17:59.520
The Goate's were always kidding about that you gotta have

1308
01:17:59.560 --> 01:18:02.880
to go tea if you're in the Mirror universe. And yeah,

1309
01:18:03.159 --> 01:18:07.439
they even Murph got a goatee, so that was great.

1310
01:18:08.760 --> 01:18:13.039
And I liked how Evil Mirror Jane Waite kind of

1311
01:18:13.119 --> 01:18:16.399
came around at the end and helped them blast the

1312
01:18:16.479 --> 01:18:18.359
news so that they could get out of there. And

1313
01:18:18.479 --> 01:18:24.439
I really, I really really thought that that Gwen was

1314
01:18:24.520 --> 01:18:26.880
going to get wasted by the Noom. It was close.

1315
01:18:27.800 --> 01:18:29.760
It was looking like, oh my god, they're going to offer,

1316
01:18:30.399 --> 01:18:32.880
but they didn't. At the last minute, she was able

1317
01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:38.680
to get it done. O'Connor showing up was definitely outrageous,

1318
01:18:39.279 --> 01:18:46.760
for sure, highly outrageous, highly highly outrageous. Yes, And like

1319
01:18:46.920 --> 01:18:51.920
Paul said that the people from the star Trek planet there,

1320
01:18:53.520 --> 01:18:57.439
which I think was lower decks, right, was that lower decks?

1321
01:18:57.680 --> 01:18:57.720
No?

1322
01:18:57.920 --> 01:19:02.199
That was that was season one. That was the episode all.

1323
01:19:02.960 --> 01:19:04.359
I think it was all the world's of stage.

1324
01:19:04.439 --> 01:19:04.560
Right.

1325
01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:08.960
We remember the ensign Garevic from the shuttlecraft from Obsession.

1326
01:19:09.640 --> 01:19:12.600
He crashed his shuttle craft on the planet, and they

1327
01:19:13.239 --> 01:19:16.439
somehow saw the captain's log, right, and they started to

1328
01:19:16.800 --> 01:19:19.960
make their whole culture based on everything right they right,

1329
01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:23.319
It was like they based their entire culture on the

1330
01:19:23.399 --> 01:19:26.119
original series from what they had seen from like Garvik

1331
01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:28.079
and Kirk's logs on the chellow crafts.

1332
01:19:28.159 --> 01:19:32.680
And somehow two Vics ends up as their captain, which

1333
01:19:32.720 --> 01:19:36.119
I you know, anytime you can bring two Vics back,

1334
01:19:37.560 --> 01:19:39.720
that's awesome. I just wish we had got to see him,

1335
01:19:40.399 --> 01:19:43.720
but the fact that he was there was enough for me.

1336
01:19:44.119 --> 01:19:47.920
So I really I enjoyed this episode, especially the Evil Whales.

1337
01:19:49.199 --> 01:19:55.039
Thought that was great. Jacob Pog is awesome, and Zero's

1338
01:19:55.199 --> 01:19:58.760
body I think Paul is onto something. I think Jacob

1339
01:19:59.079 --> 01:20:02.920
is going to build a body or something versus Zero,

1340
01:20:03.119 --> 01:20:06.239
because they were looking at Jacob's hand at the end.

1341
01:20:06.640 --> 01:20:09.000
At that final scene exactly like.

1342
01:20:09.079 --> 01:20:12.079
Alien's powerloader was the first thing I thought of, Right,

1343
01:20:12.239 --> 01:20:17.439
I'm like, yeah, magic and build them a new suit,

1344
01:20:19.399 --> 01:20:20.520
but we'll have to wait and see.

1345
01:20:21.560 --> 01:20:25.039
But overall, I really, I really enjoyed this one, and

1346
01:20:25.159 --> 01:20:28.199
I'm gonna go with a nine point three.

1347
01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:35.319
All right.

1348
01:20:35.680 --> 01:20:37.720
I thought they were both great, I thought, but for

1349
01:20:37.840 --> 01:20:40.439
different reasons. I thought the triple one was just was

1350
01:20:40.560 --> 01:20:45.880
just a fun, quirky episode, and they didn't get back

1351
01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:50.479
to Voyager. But we're still a little bit away from

1352
01:20:51.000 --> 01:20:51.960
setting things right.

1353
01:20:52.439 --> 01:20:57.439
So well, I hadn't actually thought about that fact that

1354
01:20:57.560 --> 01:21:02.359
they weren't necessarily back in the prime Prime universe, so

1355
01:21:02.520 --> 01:21:06.560
to speak. Yet that is kind of interesting. So a

1356
01:21:06.840 --> 01:21:08.039
good point on that.

1357
01:21:09.920 --> 01:21:13.520
Well, we did that a couple of weeks ago when

1358
01:21:14.239 --> 01:21:16.880
when they found the Proto star on the planet and

1359
01:21:18.039 --> 01:21:19.279
bird Guy was dead.

1360
01:21:20.239 --> 01:21:22.640
Well no, I mean, yeah, no, we knew that. But

1361
01:21:23.000 --> 01:21:25.720
the fact that when they burst back through the thing

1362
01:21:26.279 --> 01:21:28.600
here at the end of this one, that they still

1363
01:21:28.680 --> 01:21:31.039
have not returned the Proto started where it needs to

1364
01:21:31.119 --> 01:21:33.680
go part of the original timeline, so right.

1365
01:21:33.640 --> 01:21:37.159
To fix to everything, so everything is still broken, yep,

1366
01:21:37.760 --> 01:21:38.359
you can get.

1367
01:21:40.079 --> 01:21:44.800
So, So what's the group, what's ther group scored.

1368
01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:50.000
Birdman could still come back. We could still see Birdman again.

1369
01:21:50.039 --> 01:22:01.000
Yeah we could, Okay, Well, the fans gave the triple

1370
01:22:01.079 --> 01:22:05.640
episode of nine point five. The host gave an eight

1371
01:22:05.720 --> 01:22:09.119
point two six, which for Paul will around to an

1372
01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:10.479
eight point three.

1373
01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:18.920
Times and thank you for and for our mirror.

1374
01:22:20.079 --> 01:22:24.279
The fans gave an eight point six. The host gave

1375
01:22:24.359 --> 01:22:27.600
a nine point two six, which were round to a

1376
01:22:27.760 --> 01:22:33.479
nine point three. All right, so in this one, definitely

1377
01:22:33.720 --> 01:22:36.960
the host rather for the mirror to the triple episode.

1378
01:22:38.840 --> 01:22:41.520
And is that more in line with imb D Paul?

1379
01:22:42.760 --> 01:22:47.880
Well, Pobby was muted for a second. There can you

1380
01:22:47.920 --> 01:22:48.359
still hear me?

1381
01:22:48.439 --> 01:22:50.760
Okay, yeah, yes we can hear you.

1382
01:22:51.279 --> 01:22:51.479
Yeah.

1383
01:22:51.600 --> 01:22:56.520
The trible episode, they gave it a seven point nine, right,

1384
01:22:57.039 --> 01:22:59.560
and crack the mirror got an eight point four, so

1385
01:22:59.720 --> 01:23:01.520
it was about half a point higher.

1386
01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:03.319
So not a huge variance.

1387
01:23:04.439 --> 01:23:08.079
But this has been pretty consistent throughout this season, right,

1388
01:23:08.279 --> 01:23:10.359
I Mean there were a couple of them that were

1389
01:23:10.479 --> 01:23:13.720
like high sevens, like seven point seven, seven point eight, right,

1390
01:23:13.800 --> 01:23:17.680
but overwhelmingly almost all of these episodes get like in

1391
01:23:17.760 --> 01:23:20.720
the mid eight you know, I would say, is you

1392
01:23:20.800 --> 01:23:27.960
know even the uh devour of all Worlds episodes, right,

1393
01:23:28.039 --> 01:23:30.520
that was the one where we had Wesley Krusher come back, Right,

1394
01:23:30.680 --> 01:23:33.239
that got really high, almost to nine like eight point

1395
01:23:33.319 --> 01:23:35.720
seven's for both of those too. I think those have

1396
01:23:35.800 --> 01:23:37.800
been the most highest rated in terms of like, you know,

1397
01:23:37.960 --> 01:23:41.920
Broad and IMDb is weird because it's not like necessarily

1398
01:23:42.000 --> 01:23:45.640
representative of like all Star Trek fandom. It's more, you know,

1399
01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:47.960
kind of a little bit more generalized. So I think

1400
01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:49.319
you can kind of get a little bit more of

1401
01:23:49.359 --> 01:23:53.720
a neutral perspective from the IMDb because it's incorporating, you know,

1402
01:23:53.880 --> 01:23:55.960
viewers who were just sort of cursory viewers who were

1403
01:23:56.000 --> 01:23:58.359
just judging at a zone not necessarily that they you know,

1404
01:23:59.039 --> 01:24:01.520
are worshiping it the alter of KALs, so to speak.

1405
01:24:01.640 --> 01:24:01.760
Right.

1406
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:05.960
So, but but I will say that what we've got

1407
01:24:06.039 --> 01:24:09.359
coming up next, a two parter, looks like it is

1408
01:24:09.800 --> 01:24:12.119
I won't bother you with the numbers, but it looks

1409
01:24:12.159 --> 01:24:14.720
like people really really really liked it. And there's a

1410
01:24:14.800 --> 01:24:16.359
two partter of that concludes.

1411
01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:19.640
The season that it looks like people really really realized.

1412
01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:21.880
So I think it's going to be strong.

1413
01:24:22.079 --> 01:24:22.920
I got one hundred.

1414
01:24:22.920 --> 01:24:24.520
It's going to finish some very strong I'm not going

1415
01:24:24.560 --> 01:24:27.319
to give you my numbers, but just the feeling is

1416
01:24:27.399 --> 01:24:29.159
that there's not a lot of weak links in the

1417
01:24:29.279 --> 01:24:32.560
chain this season, and I've been enjoying it immensely. Fellas,

1418
01:24:32.560 --> 01:24:33.000
how about you?

1419
01:24:34.279 --> 01:24:39.000
Absolutely, Yeah, yeah, definite, for sure. Yeah, I hope.

1420
01:24:39.520 --> 01:24:41.079
I hope they can keep going. I would love to

1421
01:24:41.079 --> 01:24:43.119
see them get renewed and get a third season, right,

1422
01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:46.600
I really really do. I think I think these are

1423
01:24:46.720 --> 01:24:49.319
the very creative bunch. And uh, you know, I think

1424
01:24:49.359 --> 01:24:52.119
part of the reason is I love the I love

1425
01:24:52.199 --> 01:24:55.840
the carryover with Voyager. I love really loving Chakote, right,

1426
01:24:56.039 --> 01:24:57.239
I think he's just terrific.

1427
01:24:57.319 --> 01:24:58.279
I'm really enjoying him.

1428
01:24:58.920 --> 01:25:02.840
I always love Janeway, right, and so to have those

1429
01:25:02.920 --> 01:25:07.239
characters coming on and getting the bonus episodes of Voyager,

1430
01:25:07.279 --> 01:25:08.039
it's just a treat.

1431
01:25:08.319 --> 01:25:09.359
So I really like that.

1432
01:25:09.479 --> 01:25:12.119
I hope they continue with that, you know, because.

1433
01:25:11.840 --> 01:25:14.600
We can ask Aaron walk about that if I can

1434
01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:15.560
get him to come back on.

1435
01:25:17.439 --> 01:25:19.279
Now, man, he's gonna have you know, all these these

1436
01:25:19.399 --> 01:25:21.720
you know, lives and dies by the NBA, Right, So

1437
01:25:21.840 --> 01:25:23.319
it's just like you have to just hope we can

1438
01:25:23.920 --> 01:25:25.439
get him at a time when wouldn't it be great

1439
01:25:25.479 --> 01:25:28.600
if like he agrees to do the show right, and

1440
01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:30.800
then like the very next day he gets the green

1441
01:25:30.880 --> 01:25:33.760
light for season three. Right, he doesn't have to be

1442
01:25:33.880 --> 01:25:36.159
quiet about it anymore. He could like, actually, you know,

1443
01:25:36.399 --> 01:25:39.520
talk about it and he couldn't go into details. But

1444
01:25:39.800 --> 01:25:42.399
but but that would be so great because he would

1445
01:25:42.439 --> 01:25:43.439
be in such a good mood.

1446
01:25:47.840 --> 01:25:49.039
That's what I'm hoping happens.

1447
01:25:49.079 --> 01:25:51.359
I hope that, you know, the Netflix numbers are strong,

1448
01:25:51.479 --> 01:25:55.680
that everybody's been watching it, you know. I'll have to

1449
01:25:55.720 --> 01:25:57.600
see if I can get a sense. They got a

1450
01:25:57.680 --> 01:25:59.239
big award recently.

1451
01:25:59.319 --> 01:26:02.680
I don't know if you guys saw that or not.

1452
01:26:02.920 --> 01:26:03.880
I'm not sure if I can.

1453
01:26:03.800 --> 01:26:06.920
Pull it up here recently, but it was.

1454
01:26:09.680 --> 01:26:11.279
I think it was The New York Times.

1455
01:26:11.319 --> 01:26:13.399
I'm not on threads right, so I don't have the

1456
01:26:13.479 --> 01:26:16.520
threads at but but he put a I'll find it

1457
01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:17.960
and see if I can bring it up for us

1458
01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:21.600
to look at. But Aaron put up a big thank

1459
01:26:21.720 --> 01:26:26.039
you to The New York Times. Okay, I've all which is,

1460
01:26:26.199 --> 01:26:29.960
you know, Matt Everest right for including Star Trek Prodigy

1461
01:26:30.079 --> 01:26:31.840
on your list, And I have to figure out what

1462
01:26:32.039 --> 01:26:35.239
that list was, right, So I'll try to track that down.

1463
01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:37.800
But it sounds like they were, you know, presumably you know,

1464
01:26:37.920 --> 01:26:40.760
best show streaming right now or something. But I'll try

1465
01:26:40.800 --> 01:26:43.079
to track that down. But it sounds like when The

1466
01:26:43.159 --> 01:26:45.800
New York Times is leavin you and you know you're

1467
01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:49.079
getting that kind of attention and you're you know, it

1468
01:26:49.119 --> 01:26:51.159
seems like that's gonna go a long way towards I

1469
01:26:51.199 --> 01:26:55.760
would think influencing people do to give them another shot

1470
01:26:55.800 --> 01:26:57.760
in the arm to keep going. So God, that's why

1471
01:26:57.800 --> 01:26:59.560
I hope I'll track that down though.

1472
01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:03.479
Fellas. All right, well guys, you know what time it

1473
01:27:03.600 --> 01:27:06.520
is now, well in the.

1474
01:27:08.279 --> 01:27:11.920
And they're up on the corner by a ghetto with

1475
01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:15.439
another alphabet invent everywhere, eliminated, misery and green.

1476
01:27:16.039 --> 01:27:17.840
You know the other is going to crash into the sun.

1477
01:27:18.079 --> 01:27:20.039
But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little

1478
01:27:20.119 --> 01:27:20.600
fun the.

1479
01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:22.279
Way you think it's carry if it's more like you

1480
01:27:22.319 --> 01:27:22.920
can thank.

1481
01:27:23.600 --> 01:27:25.319
THEE and how to be the gay.

1482
01:27:28.239 --> 01:27:55.279
Day wowndron ends all right, Well, every every once in

1483
01:27:55.359 --> 01:27:56.159
a while we want.

1484
01:27:56.079 --> 01:27:58.000
To shake things up a little bit. So there you

1485
01:27:58.119 --> 01:28:01.119
have it. It's time for our Star Trek birthdays, and

1486
01:28:01.399 --> 01:28:03.840
we always like to start off on Star Trek birthdays

1487
01:28:04.359 --> 01:28:07.319
by remembering those members of Star Treks families, sadly enough,

1488
01:28:07.560 --> 01:28:10.760
are no longer with us, and for that returned to Eric.

1489
01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:15.279
This week we start our remembrances with actor Christopher Collins.

1490
01:28:15.359 --> 01:28:18.319
He's the actor and comedian who made four appearances on

1491
01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:22.399
Next Generation in Deep Space nine. He plays Captain Cargan

1492
01:28:22.520 --> 01:28:26.239
in the TNG episode Matter of Honor and also Grim

1493
01:28:26.439 --> 01:28:31.399
Baddelala in the TNG episode Samaritan Snare, but the majority

1494
01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:33.920
of his work is in that Transformers and Gi Joe

1495
01:28:34.079 --> 01:28:37.800
franchise zone. He was Cobra Commander on Gi Joe. He

1496
01:28:37.880 --> 01:28:41.439
also played the voice of Starscream you know that voice

1497
01:28:41.560 --> 01:28:45.399
on Transformers, so lots of cool voice work. He branched

1498
01:28:45.439 --> 01:28:47.279
out into movies and that kind of stuff as well.

1499
01:28:47.439 --> 01:28:49.840
Was even the original Mister Burns on The Simpsons. Believe

1500
01:28:49.840 --> 01:28:52.960
it or not, But Chris Collins, we lost him way

1501
01:28:52.960 --> 01:28:55.840
too early at forty four years old back in nineteen

1502
01:28:55.880 --> 01:28:58.880
ninety four. Happy birthday to him. Happy birthday as well

1503
01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:02.119
to Venita Wolf, the actress who appeared as Yeoman Teresa

1504
01:29:02.279 --> 01:29:06.760
Ross in the TOS first season episode The Squire of Gothos.

1505
01:29:07.600 --> 01:29:09.800
Just a real short stint on television in the late

1506
01:29:09.840 --> 01:29:11.920
sixties for her on shows like The Flying Nun and

1507
01:29:11.960 --> 01:29:15.199
The Monkeys, Gun Smoke, all the usual suspects, and that

1508
01:29:15.399 --> 01:29:18.239
was about it for her television career, but we did

1509
01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:22.119
appreciate her work in this episode. Venita Wolf lost in

1510
01:29:22.239 --> 01:29:24.520
twenty fourteen at the age of sixty nine years old.

1511
01:29:24.560 --> 01:29:28.239
Happy Birthday, Happy birthday to Harry Landers, the actor who

1512
01:29:28.359 --> 01:29:33.640
played Arthur Coleman in the TOS third season episode Turnabout Intruder.

1513
01:29:34.520 --> 01:29:37.239
Landers definitely best known for his regular role as doctor

1514
01:29:37.279 --> 01:29:41.479
Tedda Hoffman in the popular nineteen sixties medical drama Ben

1515
01:29:41.720 --> 01:29:44.439
Casey and then later in that nineteen eighty eight reunion

1516
01:29:44.520 --> 01:29:45.319
movie that they did.

1517
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:45.760
For the show.

1518
01:29:46.600 --> 01:29:49.560
Harry Landers lost back in twenty seventeen, but he did

1519
01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:53.159
live to the ripe old age of ninety six years old.

1520
01:29:53.319 --> 01:29:53.880
Good for him.

1521
01:29:54.039 --> 01:29:58.479
Happy Birthday to Harry Landers. Happy Birthday to Merrett Butrick.

1522
01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:01.399
The American actor best known for his role as doctor

1523
01:30:01.600 --> 01:30:05.199
David Marcus that David Marcus, son of Kirk in Star

1524
01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:08.720
Trek two, Ratha Kahn, also in Star Trek three, The

1525
01:30:08.760 --> 01:30:11.680
Search for Spock, and his photo of course, appearing in

1526
01:30:11.760 --> 01:30:16.560
Star Trek six when Kirk is being quoted about how

1527
01:30:16.600 --> 01:30:19.479
he's never trusted Klingons and what they did to his boy.

1528
01:30:20.119 --> 01:30:23.399
He later played to John in the ATNG first season

1529
01:30:23.439 --> 01:30:28.000
episode Symbiosis as well. But this was an actor that

1530
01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:30.319
we lost way too early. He died when he was

1531
01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:33.640
only twenty nine years old, and in that time still

1532
01:30:33.720 --> 01:30:36.479
managed to find his way into a half dozen or

1533
01:30:36.520 --> 01:30:41.880
more movies. So too bad that we lost him so early.

1534
01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:44.359
We did lose him way back in nineteen eighty nine

1535
01:30:44.560 --> 01:30:47.840
as well. So born in nineteen fifty nine, lost in

1536
01:30:47.960 --> 01:30:51.600
nineteen eighty nine before his thirtieth birthday. Happy birthday to Merret,

1537
01:30:51.680 --> 01:30:55.680
buttrick also happy birthdays? Who Reggie Nalder, the actor who

1538
01:30:55.720 --> 01:30:59.640
played Ambassador Schrass in the T ANDNG second season episode

1539
01:30:59.680 --> 01:31:02.800
Journey to Babel, our first Andorian. We get to see

1540
01:31:05.000 --> 01:31:07.479
he was casting a lot of kind of like menacing

1541
01:31:07.600 --> 01:31:10.600
roles because he had some burns that he got as

1542
01:31:10.640 --> 01:31:12.920
a young man on his lower face, which is sort

1543
01:31:12.960 --> 01:31:14.960
of see through the Andorian makeup. But you see him

1544
01:31:15.000 --> 01:31:19.359
more in places like The Manturian Candidate, and he was

1545
01:31:19.399 --> 01:31:22.239
in that nineteen seventy nine adaptation of Salem's Lot a

1546
01:31:22.279 --> 01:31:23.279
couple other things.

1547
01:31:23.039 --> 01:31:23.560
Along the way.

1548
01:31:23.680 --> 01:31:27.760
So ready Nowder lost in nineteen ninety one at eighty

1549
01:31:27.800 --> 01:31:30.760
four years old. Happy birthday to you. And then we

1550

I Mud as part of the Alice series Androids. Alice

1553
01:31:47.880 --> 01:31:50.520
herself didn't do too much acting. Ray was in a

1554
01:31:50.600 --> 01:31:53.239
couple of things along the way, including I guess. They

1555
01:31:53.279 --> 01:31:56.000
were both in an episode of Bonanza together. They did

1556
01:31:56.079 --> 01:31:59.880
show up on Batman as well, which is pretty cool.

1557
01:32:00.640 --> 01:32:03.800
And they were singers in a jazz pop route in

1558
01:32:03.880 --> 01:32:09.159
the late sixties called The Sound of Ceiling. So Happy

1559
01:32:09.239 --> 01:32:10.399

That's it for my birthdays on your list, Paul.

1581
01:33:47.359 --> 01:33:50.239
Thanks, Charles, appreciate it got all kinds of folks. August

1582
01:33:50.359 --> 01:33:53.279
is the popular month to be born, apparently first of all,

1583
01:33:53.279 --> 01:33:55.760
happy birthing. It goes out to Anthony Call American actor

1584
01:33:55.760 --> 01:34:00.039
who played Dave Bailey in the original series first season episode.

1585
01:33:59.640 --> 01:34:02.039
The Core Might Maneuver. Pretty cool.

1586
01:34:03.159 --> 01:34:05.880
This is a great character. You got a lot of

1587
01:34:06.000 --> 01:34:10.319
characters like this in the first season of Star Trek

1588
01:34:10.399 --> 01:34:13.920
original series. Who were you know, young members of the crew, right,

1589
01:34:14.039 --> 01:34:16.279
but who weren't just like yes, I'm doing what you're

1590
01:34:16.319 --> 01:34:18.960
told and you're ready to be killed. Who were explosive

1591
01:34:19.079 --> 01:34:22.159
emotionally right, like the really racist.

1592
01:34:21.760 --> 01:34:24.880
Guy who's against Spock and balance of Terror. Right.

1593
01:34:25.000 --> 01:34:27.600
It's like they really made sure that they were cool,

1594
01:34:28.680 --> 01:34:34.680
flawed characters in supporting roles right to really showcase and

1595
01:34:34.840 --> 01:34:37.239
be relatable and very interesting. I would say Bailey is

1596
01:34:37.279 --> 01:34:39.600
definitely one of those characters you know, starts out, he's

1597
01:34:39.640 --> 01:34:43.119
just totally you know, freaking out as no impulse control

1598
01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:45.199
at all, and he really goes on through a whole

1599
01:34:45.359 --> 01:34:48.239
arc where you know, by the end of the episode

1600
01:34:48.399 --> 01:34:52.239
he's getting to be an ambassador to represent the Federation

1601
01:34:52.600 --> 01:34:55.560
with Baylock. So it's a terrific performance from this guy.

1602
01:34:56.560 --> 01:34:59.079
Anthony call you did a great job and all over

1603
01:34:59.119 --> 01:35:01.800
the place in sixty television. So really cool. But I

1604
01:35:01.920 --> 01:35:06.760
love that role. I love Bailey, Bailey are relieved and

1605
01:35:06.880 --> 01:35:11.079
then happy Birthday did the great legendary Dee Bradley Baker Okay,

1606
01:35:11.319 --> 01:35:16.479
actor who voices Murph on Star Trek Prodigy and countless

1607
01:35:16.920 --> 01:35:20.680
other characters in this series. If you are also a

1608
01:35:20.840 --> 01:35:26.479
Star Wars fan, and are any familiarity with uh A

1609
01:35:26.560 --> 01:35:28.960
show on there called a bad batch when you've got

1610
01:35:29.000 --> 01:35:31.800
a bunch of different, like, you know, clones of different

1611
01:35:32.199 --> 01:35:36.199
you know, strengths and iterations, kids like five of them.

1612
01:35:36.239 --> 01:35:41.319
I think it is right, Yeah, a flawed batch of clones.

1613
01:35:41.640 --> 01:35:45.199
Yes, Dee Bradley Baker voices every single one of them.

1614
01:35:45.279 --> 01:35:48.279
I mean it's crazy and they're all very different, right,

1615
01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:50.840
They all have different voices. Some of them are more like,

1616
01:35:51.000 --> 01:35:53.119
you know, sound like Nazi royalty.

1617
01:35:53.239 --> 01:35:55.239
Some of them are the big bruiser guy, you know.

1618
01:35:55.359 --> 01:35:57.359
I mean, it's just it's and he does all those

1619
01:35:57.479 --> 01:36:01.359
different voices. Dee Bradley Baker is unreal, super cool guy.

1620
01:36:01.560 --> 01:36:03.840
So he's just done as a ton and ton of work.

1621
01:36:03.880 --> 01:36:06.520
So happy bake Birthday, man, take care of that voice.

1622
01:36:08.079 --> 01:36:11.640
You never get a break. D Happy Birthday also goes

1623
01:36:11.680 --> 01:36:16.239
out to Virginia Aldridge, actress who appeared as Lieutenant Karen

1624
01:36:16.319 --> 01:36:19.479
Tracy in the original series second season episode Wolf in

1625
01:36:19.560 --> 01:36:24.119
the Fold. Very Cool Jack the Ripper Riff written by

1626
01:36:24.159 --> 01:36:27.840
the great Robert Block, who went we of course should know,

1627
01:36:28.159 --> 01:36:30.920
wrote the original Psycho book that Psycho is based on.

1628
01:36:31.399 --> 01:36:34.000
So Robert Block really cool. But I think a lot

1629
01:36:34.079 --> 01:36:36.840
of folks love Wolf in the Fold. It's a pretty

1630
01:36:36.840 --> 01:36:39.159
cool episode, right. The idea of a spectral Jack, the

1631
01:36:39.239 --> 01:36:42.640
ripper entity, and evil entity we run into those in Star.

1632
01:36:42.600 --> 01:36:43.359
Trek all the time.

1633
01:36:44.159 --> 01:36:48.600
Happy birthday to Italian American Paison actor writer Stephen R.

1634
01:36:48.760 --> 01:36:53.039
Shirippa Okay, who played Carmine in the Enterprise four season

1635
01:36:53.119 --> 01:36:58.319
episodes episode Stormfront is storm Front Part two Sopranos fans

1636
01:36:58.520 --> 01:37:00.920
of which I am one, I will of course know

1637
01:37:01.600 --> 01:37:04.880
mister Shariff as Bobby Bakala from that show, right, so

1638
01:37:05.239 --> 01:37:10.399
really great, what a presence, really really just awesome on camera,

1639
01:37:10.800 --> 01:37:16.560
very likable individual. I've seen him riff on the Bobby

1640
01:37:16.680 --> 01:37:20.920
character on episodes of Sesame Street where he's done little

1641
01:37:21.000 --> 01:37:25.319
parody episodes there. So he's just terrific, very very great talent,

1642
01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:29.479
seems like a lovely person. Happy Birthday goes out to

1643
01:37:29.640 --> 01:37:31.720
the phenomenally cool Michael Berryman.

1644
01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:32.159
Right.

1645
01:37:32.520 --> 01:37:37.000
Michael Berryman, I love him from one of my favorite

1646
01:37:37.159 --> 01:37:41.680
Star Trek Next Gen episodes from season one, Conspiracy, Right,

1647
01:37:41.920 --> 01:37:46.000
he is so cool. Played Captain Rix Right, who's one

1648
01:37:46.039 --> 01:37:48.960
of the folks that first meets up with Picard and

1649
01:37:49.039 --> 01:37:52.680
lets him know that things are afoot. Michael Berryman is

1650
01:37:52.680 --> 01:37:56.159
a very interesting looking cat, very unusual looking, right, And

1651
01:37:56.359 --> 01:37:59.199
he also was in Star Trek for the Voyage Home,

1652
01:37:59.199 --> 01:38:03.319
where he played a starfleet display officer in that particular

1653
01:38:03.600 --> 01:38:06.079
picture there, but he got a lot more screen time

1654
01:38:06.239 --> 01:38:10.479
in a conspiracy in Next Gen. Really it's the cat

1655
01:38:10.600 --> 01:38:15.439
often gets cast as like bad guys or monstrous type individuals.

1656
01:38:16.760 --> 01:38:21.239
I remember him from a really amazing horror picture. I

1657
01:38:21.399 --> 01:38:25.680
love the pulpy road horror pictures from the seventies. Man,

1658
01:38:25.840 --> 01:38:30.119
they are just so so cool and some of them

1659
01:38:30.159 --> 01:38:32.000
are just they just what I almost think of. It

1660
01:38:32.119 --> 01:38:37.319
was like drive in movies, right, really really fun to

1661
01:38:37.600 --> 01:38:40.319
check out. And one of the great ones was from

1662
01:38:40.399 --> 01:38:43.920
nineteen seventy seven, The Hills Have Eyes. It's been remade.

1663
01:38:44.359 --> 01:38:46.359
You don't necessarily want to watch that one, but watch

1664
01:38:46.399 --> 01:38:49.079
the original. Watch the original, right. I think it was

1665
01:38:49.119 --> 01:38:52.079
the first box office hit that Wes Craven had, right,

1666
01:38:52.479 --> 01:38:57.520
And it's just amazing, really really creepy. And Michael Berryman's

1667
01:38:57.520 --> 01:39:02.479
like on the poster because he's so unusual looking and

1668
01:39:02.600 --> 01:39:05.720
kind of scary, right, And Michael Berryman is great. But

1669
01:39:05.800 --> 01:39:08.640
if you're looking for a good dose of seventies horror

1670
01:39:08.720 --> 01:39:13.520
that does not hold back. I recommend check out Michael

1671
01:39:13.560 --> 01:39:16.880
berryman in the Hills Have Eyes and go watch Conspiracy

1672
01:39:16.960 --> 01:39:20.399
again because he is awesome in it. And finally, for me,

1673
01:39:20.680 --> 01:39:24.520
Happy birthday to Laura Patniak, actress who played to Prill,

1674
01:39:25.239 --> 01:39:29.239
who we all are getting to know on Star Trek's

1675
01:39:29.239 --> 01:39:32.119
Strange New World's second season episode.

1676
01:39:31.720 --> 01:39:34.680
Charades, which I thought was dynamite, which is terrific.

1677
01:39:34.840 --> 01:39:39.000
So lovely to meet the Spock family in the Topring

1678
01:39:39.239 --> 01:39:42.520
family and see them coming together in what almost feels

1679
01:39:42.600 --> 01:39:46.960
like a sixties I love lucy moments for.

1680
01:39:47.720 --> 01:39:48.560
The in laws.

1681
01:39:49.199 --> 01:39:52.119
How will they get along? I'm not sure, but a

1682
01:39:52.159 --> 01:39:55.000
Laura Patniak fit in just great and I thought, really

1683
01:39:55.159 --> 01:39:58.960
just brought a lot of great life. I love seeing

1684
01:39:59.119 --> 01:40:01.840
the Vulcan character on Strange New Worlds.

1685
01:40:01.960 --> 01:40:02.439
I think they.

1686
01:40:05.039 --> 01:40:07.399
Don't play them in a stereotypical way. They seem to

1687
01:40:07.479 --> 01:40:09.680
open it up and make them more interesting and relatable,

1688
01:40:09.880 --> 01:40:13.000
and I think that's cool. So God, I'm just what

1689
01:40:13.159 --> 01:40:15.439
that next season to get here. I mean, I'm you know,

1690
01:40:17.439 --> 01:40:19.520
I love what they're doing on that show most of

1691
01:40:19.600 --> 01:40:22.800
the time, I really do. But anytime we have a

1692
01:40:22.840 --> 01:40:26.800
Spot centric episode, let's see if we can maybe or

1693
01:40:26.840 --> 01:40:30.199
at the Prings centric episode, let's get Laura Patniak and

1694
01:40:30.239 --> 01:40:32.359
the rest of them back there, because I love what

1695
01:40:32.399 --> 01:40:34.439
they're doing on that show. So what a bunch of

1696
01:40:34.520 --> 01:40:37.039
great individuals to be able to celebrate this week. Those

1697
01:40:37.039 --> 01:40:42.279
are all such winners and delightful performers, and they're all

1698
01:40:42.319 --> 01:40:44.800
still with us, so it's great to be able to

1699
01:40:44.920 --> 01:40:45.760
celebrate them all.

1700
01:40:46.640 --> 01:40:49.399
It is actually Laura Patniak's.

1701
01:40:48.800 --> 01:40:51.760
Birthday today, so God only knows what she's up to,

1702
01:40:52.479 --> 01:40:56.079
but I hope you're celebrating tremendously here on September fifth.

1703
01:40:56.399 --> 01:41:03.680
And I'll pass this nuclear protostar enhanced uh nuclear atomic

1704
01:41:04.159 --> 01:41:09.840
rift bearing birthday camp over Jim to continue. And what

1705
01:41:10.000 --> 01:41:14.000
a shock. Uncle Jim has a star Trek? Is it

1706
01:41:14.079 --> 01:41:17.960
star Trek fort fun. I'm not sure who Jim is

1707
01:41:18.000 --> 01:41:20.279
going to be celebrating here, but I bet there's somebody

1708
01:41:20.359 --> 01:41:20.840
on there, so.

1709
01:41:20.880 --> 01:41:24.319
Let's find out, Jim, take it away. Yes, thank you,

1710
01:41:24.680 --> 01:41:28.239
so so so much, Paul, I only have two. I

1711
01:41:28.439 --> 01:41:31.840
only have two. I always do the Klingons unless they're dead,

1712
01:41:32.000 --> 01:41:35.520
and then of course Eric gets them. Uh. But we

1713
01:41:35.640 --> 01:41:41.800
want to say amplah to Rosanna DeSoto and who is she?

1714
01:41:42.439 --> 01:41:45.920
She's the actress from stan Jose, California who played as

1715
01:41:46.000 --> 01:41:50.520
a Bore and Star Trek fixed the Undiscovered Country. Uh.

1716
01:41:50.640 --> 01:41:55.199
She became the chancellor when gor Khan was killed. So

1717
01:41:55.880 --> 01:42:02.079
happy birthday and kapla to Rosanna de Soto. Not quite

1718
01:42:02.119 --> 01:42:04.680
as good as Star Trek five the Final Frontier, but

1719
01:42:04.960 --> 01:42:09.439
an excellent Star Trek movie nonetheless, loaded with Klingon and

1720
01:42:09.680 --> 01:42:13.319
Odo and wharf. Lots of good stuff in Star Trek six,

1721
01:42:13.399 --> 01:42:15.479
go and check it out if you haven't watched it

1722
01:42:15.560 --> 01:42:19.119
in a while. And last on my list whose birthday

1723
01:42:19.319 --> 01:42:25.399
is today is Annabelle Wallace. She's the actress who voiced

1724
01:42:25.399 --> 01:42:30.319
the USS Discoveries sends you a Computer Zora, and was

1725
01:42:30.399 --> 01:42:35.359
also on Star Trek Short Treks Calypso and continued on

1726
01:42:35.760 --> 01:42:39.960
Discovery as Zora up on the Golt five when it ended.

1727
01:42:40.479 --> 01:42:44.399
And that, my friends, wraps up our Star Trek birthdays.

1728
01:42:44.920 --> 01:42:48.359
Hard to believe. And now it's time for Star Trek news.

1729
01:42:48.600 --> 01:42:51.159
I already one message from Starfleates coming in on.

1730
01:42:51.279 --> 01:42:55.039
Secure channel incoming transmission.

1731
01:42:54.800 --> 01:43:02.479
Andrew authorization code command codes verify parameters of program level

1732
01:43:02.560 --> 01:43:08.880
nine authorization required. That's a fine parameters. Transfer update is complete.

1733
01:43:09.640 --> 01:43:12.359
A back alert, back alert.

1734
01:43:13.479 --> 01:43:15.479
All right, Eric, you get to start us off this

1735
01:43:15.640 --> 01:43:17.239
week with some sad news.

1736
01:43:18.319 --> 01:43:20.840
Yeah, you may have missed if you're up on the

1737
01:43:20.920 --> 01:43:24.960
news that we we didn't mention one new remembrance, which

1738
01:43:25.039 --> 01:43:28.279
unfortunately happened this week. Actor known for Star Trek, Gidget,

1739
01:43:28.319 --> 01:43:32.960
and TJ. Hooker dies at eighty eight. James Darren, who

1740
01:43:33.039 --> 01:43:36.319
went from teen idol status acting in youth oriented movies

1741
01:43:36.399 --> 01:43:39.920
like Gidget, to becoming an actor in TV shows such

1742
01:43:40.039 --> 01:43:43.359
as Deep Space nine, where he of course played Vic

1743
01:43:43.439 --> 01:43:44.840
Fontaine and TJ.

1744
01:43:45.000 --> 01:43:45.319
Hooker.

1745
01:43:46.319 --> 01:43:48.920
He was also a singer and director. Unfortunately, we lost

1746
01:43:49.000 --> 01:43:52.079
him Monday at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

1747
01:43:52.199 --> 01:43:53.039
He was eighty eight.

1748
01:43:53.520 --> 01:43:55.960
His son, Jim Morritt, said that he had been able

1749
01:43:56.000 --> 01:43:58.720
to express his love for his family while being treated

1750
01:43:58.800 --> 01:43:59.880
in the cardiac unit.

1751
01:44:00.319 --> 01:44:00.640
Quote.

1752
01:44:00.720 --> 01:44:03.119
He was a good man, He was very talented. Moret

1753
01:44:03.239 --> 01:44:06.640
said he was forever young. More said that he was

1754
01:44:06.680 --> 01:44:08.840
grateful that his father had been able to embrace his

1755
01:44:09.039 --> 01:44:12.560
signature role as the surfer Moondoggie in the Gidget movie,

1756
01:44:12.920 --> 01:44:15.720
and that he continued to interact with his fans. Born

1757
01:44:15.760 --> 01:44:20.079
in Philadelphia, he studied acting with Stella Adler in New

1758
01:44:20.199 --> 01:44:23.439
York and was signed to Columbia Pictures, where his first

1759
01:44:23.600 --> 01:44:26.640
role was in Rumble on the Docks. He went on

1760
01:44:26.760 --> 01:44:30.840
to appear in films including Operation Madball and Gunman's Walk,

1761
01:44:31.000 --> 01:44:34.640
before being cast in the nineteen fifty nine teen movie Gidget,

1762
01:44:34.720 --> 01:44:38.920
starring Sandra d and Cliff Robertson. Darren also sang the

1763
01:44:38.960 --> 01:44:41.199
title track for the hit movie, which was based on

1764
01:44:41.239 --> 01:44:44.760
the experiences of a teenage surfer girl in Malibu and

1765
01:44:44.880 --> 01:44:48.520
later became a popular TV series. Moving into television, he

1766
01:44:48.680 --> 01:44:51.840
starred in the series The Time Tunnel, and after a

1767
01:44:51.880 --> 01:44:56.199
brief sojourn in Italy, appeared in Jess Franco's Venus in Furs.

1768
01:44:56.720 --> 01:44:59.520
He went on to guest star on numerous series, including

1769
01:44:59.720 --> 01:45:02.279
Love American Style, Fantasy Island.

1770
01:45:02.479 --> 01:45:03.239
And The Love Boat.

1771
01:45:03.960 --> 01:45:06.720
Darren was a regular on TJ Hooker from nineteen eighty

1772
01:45:06.760 --> 01:45:10.359
three to nineteen eighty six and also moved into TV directing,

1773
01:45:10.960 --> 01:45:14.000
working on series including Beverly Hills nine h two one zero.

1774
01:45:14.279 --> 01:45:15.279
And Melroe's Place.

1775
01:45:15.880 --> 01:45:18.760
He found a new generation of fans in nineteen ninety

1776
01:45:18.800 --> 01:45:22.199
eight as Vick Fontaine, the holographic Lounge saker on Star

1777
01:45:22.279 --> 01:45:26.479
Trek Deeps Based nine. He's survived by his wife Jim Morritt,

1778
01:45:26.800 --> 01:45:33.039
Christian Darren and Tony Darren and five grandchildren. So very

1779
01:45:33.119 --> 01:45:35.600
sad news that we have lost Sickfontaine. What a great

1780
01:45:35.720 --> 01:45:38.880
character from Star Trek Deeps Based nine. Really so many

1781
01:45:38.920 --> 01:45:42.520
people's conscience on that show, which I think was one

1782
01:45:42.520 --> 01:45:44.880
of the things that I really appreciated about him a lot.

1783
01:45:45.039 --> 01:45:49.159
So Happy birthday, whatever his happy birthday is coming up,

1784
01:45:49.640 --> 01:45:51.760
we will be celebrating his life again.

1785
01:45:51.920 --> 01:45:54.680
But for the moment, we just lost him the other day.

1786
01:45:54.800 --> 01:45:57.359
So that is our first news story.

1787
01:45:57.439 --> 01:46:00.720

pin upon taking the chair. So Happy Star Trek Day

1824
01:48:35.840 --> 01:48:38.720
and Paul too, well, you know two things, man.

1825
01:48:38.800 --> 01:48:40.760
So I gotta take issue with something from that article,

1826
01:48:41.039 --> 01:48:44.359
all right, because that's what I do. I take issue

1827
01:48:44.399 --> 01:48:44.760
with things.

1828
01:48:44.840 --> 01:48:44.960
Right.

1829
01:48:45.399 --> 01:48:49.000
I got to take issue with referring to Star Trek

1830
01:48:49.079 --> 01:48:57.119
Prodigy as the Doomed Cartoons. Sorry, I'm going to push

1831
01:48:57.199 --> 01:48:58.199
back on whoever wrote this.

1832
01:48:58.960 --> 01:49:05.119
Dude. It's doing great, really rocking it up on Netflix.

1833
01:49:05.319 --> 01:49:08.479
And if you go find that New York Times article

1834
01:49:08.520 --> 01:49:11.880
I mentioned about basically reviewing the state of the universe

1835
01:49:11.920 --> 01:49:14.119
as far as current Star Trek goes, they basically say

1836
01:49:14.159 --> 01:49:17.760
that it's the best thing going. So again, it's like,

1837
01:49:17.800 --> 01:49:20.039
if you haven't watched Prodigy. Get in there and check

1838
01:49:20.079 --> 01:49:23.000
it out, because it's awesome and it's certainly no doom show.

1839
01:49:23.079 --> 01:49:25.000
I think it's got a lot of legs and life

1840
01:49:25.079 --> 01:49:27.239
left in it, and it's the most vital stuff happening.

1841
01:49:27.800 --> 01:49:32.039
And also, dude, who wrote this article, you didn't say

1842
01:49:32.159 --> 01:49:35.600
when Star Trek Day is. We can't assume that everybody

1843
01:49:35.760 --> 01:49:39.239
knows that, right, because for crying out loud, let's be

1844
01:49:39.399 --> 01:49:41.920
accurate with this stuff and specific and start Trek Day is,

1845
01:49:42.000 --> 01:49:45.840
of course, the day commemorating when Star Trek was first

1846
01:49:46.520 --> 01:49:50.039
put on American television, which is September eighth, which is

1847
01:49:50.159 --> 01:49:54.119
this coming Sunday, so most folks have Sunday off, hopefully,

1848
01:49:54.239 --> 01:49:56.239
so it's a great day to celebrate a Star Trek

1849
01:49:56.319 --> 01:49:58.159
and watch a little bit something. So sorry, just got

1850
01:49:58.239 --> 01:50:00.880
a little rant there, Shaun to go ahead and do

1851
01:50:00.960 --> 01:50:03.520
this next news story, Jim, I got the vapors.

1852
01:50:04.560 --> 01:50:08.399
Well, we talked about it last week and we survived it,

1853
01:50:08.560 --> 01:50:10.560
so I thought we should talk about it. All right,

1854
01:50:10.600 --> 01:50:12.319
I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna jump in there all right.

1855
01:50:12.399 --> 01:50:13.840
I'll try to be quick because I know we're run

1856
01:50:13.840 --> 01:50:14.199
out of time.

1857
01:50:15.199 --> 01:50:19.399
The bell riots, right, which we just commemorated on August

1858
01:50:19.479 --> 01:50:22.880
thirtieth of twenty twenty four this year, And nothing too

1859
01:50:22.920 --> 01:50:24.960
horribly happened. But ten things you didn't know about the

1860
01:50:25.000 --> 01:50:28.159
Bell Riots. Ready you have to read quickly. The Bell

1861
01:50:28.239 --> 01:50:31.640
Riots are an enormously significant event in star Trek. Starfleet

1862
01:50:31.640 --> 01:50:34.039
would never have been created without them, so their impact

1863
01:50:34.079 --> 01:50:37.079
to be measured in the organizations deffect on the universe. However,

1864
01:50:37.560 --> 01:50:39.800
for as important historical moment as they are, they have

1865
01:50:40.079 --> 01:50:42.359
only been depicted in a single story from d Space

1866
01:50:42.520 --> 01:50:46.720
nine with an illusion to Picard Past ten sees Cisco, Bashir,

1867
01:50:46.760 --> 01:50:48.680
and Dax travel back in time to San Francisco in

1868
01:50:48.720 --> 01:50:51.720
twenty twenty four. There they witnessed firsthand just how dark

1869
01:50:51.800 --> 01:50:54.760
the world had become for the less fortunate members of society,

1870
01:50:55.159 --> 01:50:57.520
as well as the apathy permeating the United States.

1871
01:50:57.720 --> 01:50:58.119
Hmmmm.

1872
01:51:00.680 --> 01:51:03.560
Life imitates art. The story, written in the nineties, grew

1873
01:51:03.640 --> 01:51:07.159
inspiration with well documented historical events while also seemingly serving

1874
01:51:07.199 --> 01:51:10.079
as a chilling, reprecient depiction of things to come for

1875
01:51:10.199 --> 01:51:13.840
our future. On August thirtieth, twenty twenty fourth ree start

1876
01:51:14.039 --> 01:51:16.640
Fleet officers arrived in our time. This is the breakdown

1877
01:51:16.680 --> 01:51:19.079
of what and how the things that followed took place.

1878
01:51:19.760 --> 01:51:21.800
They didn't want to do with Martin Luther King Junior.

1879
01:51:21.880 --> 01:51:24.159
When The Bell Riots writer Robert Hewitt Wolf and Iris

1880
01:51:24.199 --> 01:51:26.680
even Bear wanted the greatest event that trickled through starter history.

1881
01:51:26.720 --> 01:51:28.960
They knew that the story would involve time travel, with

1882
01:51:29.000 --> 01:51:32.079
Cisco replacing a crucial participant in the past. They didn't

1883
01:51:32.079 --> 01:51:34.600
want to make him Martin Luther King Junior, and that

1884
01:51:34.680 --> 01:51:36.600
they wanted to avoid having him lead a march or

1885
01:51:36.680 --> 01:51:40.319
making the speech that would reverberate through history. Nine. It

1886
01:51:40.439 --> 01:51:43.479
began with homelessness. The sanctuary districts to earn their name

1887
01:51:43.920 --> 01:51:46.960
as they were areas of hope for the homeless, and

1888
01:51:47.039 --> 01:51:49.880
they're down on their luck residents of America. While we

1889
01:51:50.039 --> 01:51:52.680
will explore just how much of behavin they become. They

1890
01:51:52.720 --> 01:51:55.319
were inspired by Robert Hewert Wolf's discomfort and worry about

1891
01:51:55.319 --> 01:52:00.159
the growing number of homeless people in Santa Monica. Eight,

1892
01:52:00.279 --> 01:52:04.000
We're gonna do concentration camps. Bear drew inspiration from the

1893
01:52:04.039 --> 01:52:06.760
Attica prison ride in nineteen seventy one. There were several

1894
01:52:06.800 --> 01:52:10.000
parallels between Past Tense and the Attica riotes. So perhaps clearest,

1895
01:52:10.840 --> 01:52:14.479
excuse me, clear my instruments the clearest of the reasons

1896
01:52:14.520 --> 01:52:17.880
behind them. New York State's prison inmates were demanding improved

1897
01:52:17.880 --> 01:52:21.359
conditions within the overcrowded facility Attica, which had just been

1898
01:52:21.439 --> 01:52:23.800
designed to accommodate twelve hundred prisoners, had a population that

1899
01:52:23.840 --> 01:52:27.640
swelled over twenty two hundred dog day afternoon Check it

1900
01:52:27.680 --> 01:52:30.840
Out seven talk about timely. While the writers were breaking

1901
01:52:30.880 --> 01:52:33.319
the story for Past Tense, an article appeared in the

1902
01:52:33.399 --> 01:52:37.119
La Times that deeply unnerved them. Titled Homeless Camp Wait

1903
01:52:37.239 --> 01:52:40.920
in La Industrial Area, it discussed plans to open a

1904
01:52:41.000 --> 01:52:44.039
fenced in locale based on a similar center in San Diego,

1905
01:52:44.119 --> 01:52:49.079
for homeless transients to voluntarily visit. The center, the article advertised,

1906
01:52:49.079 --> 01:52:51.479
would have showers and laundry facilities, as well as a

1907
01:52:51.560 --> 01:52:55.920
lawn for people to sleep on. Oh Man six, setting

1908
01:52:55.960 --> 01:52:59.319
the scene, Bearrist needed that they weren't actively trying to

1909
01:52:59.359 --> 01:53:01.800
make a big blitt statement when writing Past Tense, though

1910
01:53:01.840 --> 01:53:05.039
in classic Deep Tase nine, fashioned political statements were rarely

1911
01:53:05.159 --> 01:53:09.960
far behind any script the show produced. For example, looking

1912
01:53:10.000 --> 01:53:12.239
at the three officers dumped into the past or treated

1913
01:53:12.640 --> 01:53:15.279
the lesson subtle racism is key to how Past ten

1914
01:53:15.399 --> 01:53:18.880
cents of its narrative, Dax, played by the Caucasian actress

1915
01:53:18.920 --> 01:53:22.680
Terry Farrell, is welcomed with open arms. Cisco and Bashir,

1916
01:53:22.760 --> 01:53:25.720
played by distinctly non Caucasian actors Avery Brooks and citic

1917
01:53:25.800 --> 01:53:31.960
al Fadim Alexander Sidig, are treated with hostility and repulsion. Five.

1918
01:53:32.479 --> 01:53:34.079
No criminals allowed in Our Havens.

1919
01:53:34.359 --> 01:53:37.600
Star Trek Sanctuary districts were designed as havens for homeless

1920
01:53:37.600 --> 01:53:40.279
people or financially destined to people to find shelter, a

1921
01:53:40.359 --> 01:53:43.600
place to stay, or food. They were also specifically designed

1922
01:53:43.680 --> 01:53:46.520
not to allow entry to anyone with a criminal record,

1923
01:53:46.520 --> 01:53:49.359
attempting to shift the perception that they were designed as prisons.

1924
01:53:50.000 --> 01:53:53.039
In reality, residents were given very little choices to their

1925
01:53:53.119 --> 01:53:55.840
lot in life. Basher bemoans the lack of medical care

1926
01:53:55.880 --> 01:53:58.239
afforded to the people he sees in the process in Center,

1927
01:53:58.640 --> 01:54:01.359
while Cisco described the district there's a bad mistake in

1928
01:54:01.479 --> 01:54:05.079
Earth's history. As he later explains to Bashir, the districts

1929
01:54:05.079 --> 01:54:08.199
are a symptom of the overwhelming issues faced by contemporary people,

1930
01:54:08.560 --> 01:54:10.720
the eight point in history, leading so many who needed

1931
01:54:10.800 --> 01:54:12.960
help being deposited inside.

1932
01:54:13.760 --> 01:54:13.960
Four.

1933
01:54:14.520 --> 01:54:18.399
No one thing is simply one thing, Biddle Coleridge or BC,

1934
01:54:18.720 --> 01:54:21.479
named in honor of Deep Space nine Assistant director B. C.

1935
01:54:21.680 --> 01:54:24.720
Cameron was played by Frank Military. In Past Tense, he

1936
01:54:24.920 --> 01:54:27.319
is a ghost, one of the residents of the Sanctuary

1937
01:54:27.359 --> 01:54:31.199
Districts that lead towards violence. He is introduced as an

1938
01:54:31.279 --> 01:54:34.359
unpleasant person hassling Cisco and Basher. The later is shown

1939
01:54:34.439 --> 01:54:38.119
murdering Gabriel Bell. In his scuffle, he takes the processing

1940
01:54:38.159 --> 01:54:41.039
center hostage, coming face to face the Cisco now claiming

1941
01:54:41.119 --> 01:54:43.560
to b Bell. It would have been easy to write

1942
01:54:43.600 --> 01:54:46.000
BC as a saratapual thug who uses murder as a

1943
01:54:46.119 --> 01:54:49.319
means to an end. However, Bear was insistent that they

1944
01:54:49.359 --> 01:54:52.399
needed to make him something more. BC murders Bell in

1945
01:54:52.439 --> 01:54:55.159
Past Tense Part one, and the murder isn't discussed at

1946
01:54:55.199 --> 01:54:58.800
all in Part two three. What were the riots for?

1947
01:54:59.439 --> 01:55:03.079
The demands the district residents may include the closure of

1948
01:55:03.119 --> 01:55:07.039
the Sanctuary District's jobs for those inside and the reinstitution

1949
01:55:07.279 --> 01:55:10.880
of the Federal Employment Act. This act, repealed some time

1950
01:55:10.960 --> 01:55:13.159
before twenty twenty four. In Star Trekt was based on

1951
01:55:13.279 --> 01:55:16.720
the Real Employment Act of nineteen forty six. While the

1952
01:55:16.800 --> 01:55:19.439
Act is far from perfect, it does inspire any government

1953
01:55:19.479 --> 01:55:22.920
to continue concentrating on employing the population with it repealed

1954
01:55:22.960 --> 01:55:24.880
the United States of twenty twenty four and Deep Space

1955
01:55:25.000 --> 01:55:28.039
nine simply had no reason to do anything to change.

1956
01:55:29.359 --> 01:55:29.560
Two.

1957
01:55:30.880 --> 01:55:35.439
It's not my fault and nothing ever changes. Lee, played

1958
01:55:35.479 --> 01:55:38.199
by Tina Lifford, was a public health officer in Sanctuary

1959
01:55:38.239 --> 01:55:41.319
District A. She is one who processes Cisco and Basher

1960
01:55:41.399 --> 01:55:43.199
on their arrival and becomes one of the hostages when

1961
01:55:43.279 --> 01:55:46.479
BC overtakes the center. Lee was designed to be a

1962
01:55:46.600 --> 01:55:50.159
browbeaten official, constantly underpaid and overwork, trapped in a job

1963
01:55:50.199 --> 01:55:53.760
that was sapping her life. When Basher helps her, she

1964
01:55:53.920 --> 01:55:55.760
gives him a little of her story of recounting the

1965
01:55:55.840 --> 01:55:58.039
time she allowed a woman to edit the district despite

1966
01:55:58.079 --> 01:56:01.000
having a warrant for her arrest. The woman, she explained,

1967
01:56:01.039 --> 01:56:04.199
had abandon her baby with people who could care for him.

1968
01:56:04.359 --> 01:56:07.479
Knowing that she could not, Lee took pity and almost

1969
01:56:07.520 --> 01:56:09.840
lost her job for it, setting into a life of

1970
01:56:10.199 --> 01:56:13.880
just doing the work. Basher kindly tells her that it

1971
01:56:14.000 --> 01:56:17.600
isn't her fault the way the things are. Lee's reply,

1972
01:56:18.279 --> 01:56:24.479
everybody tells themselves that, and nothing ever changes. Succinctly delivers

1973
01:56:24.520 --> 01:56:30.000
the message of the episodes and Finally, one life is

1974
01:56:30.199 --> 01:56:34.520
like a soapbox Iris. Steven Bear reflected on the episode

1975
01:56:34.560 --> 01:56:37.600
of the Year's Past, noting the Past Tense has been

1976
01:56:37.640 --> 01:56:41.520
reviewed as too liberal or soapboxy. The episodes had to

1977
01:56:41.640 --> 01:56:44.119
balance the message of the riots, as well as weaving

1978
01:56:44.159 --> 01:56:46.840
Star Trek technobabble and some lighter elements to make it

1979
01:56:46.960 --> 01:56:51.039
all work. Clint Howard's character provides some comic relief, while

1980
01:56:51.119 --> 01:56:55.439
Kira and O'Brien's trips through time add some silliness, something

1981
01:56:55.520 --> 01:56:59.600
director Jonathan Frake's wasn't thrilled about, although he does credit

1982
01:56:59.640 --> 01:57:03.199
Past Tense Part two and Cause and Effect as the

1983
01:57:03.239 --> 01:57:07.840
two episodes that got him the directorial job on Star

1984
01:57:07.960 --> 01:57:12.640
Trek First Contact Iris. Stephen Bear ultimately feels that Past

1985
01:57:12.720 --> 01:57:16.560
Tense was a success. It was released in nineteen ninety five,

1986
01:57:17.119 --> 01:57:19.359
the year that Forrest Gump did big numbers at the

1987
01:57:19.439 --> 01:57:23.680
box office while also helping audiences feel good. Fair had

1988
01:57:23.760 --> 01:57:26.760
this closing comment in the Deep Space nine companion on

1989
01:57:26.840 --> 01:57:31.439
the matter. Yes, it's important to feel good, and I'm

1990
01:57:31.479 --> 01:57:35.640
not putting that down, but in reality, in nineteen ninety five,

1991
01:57:35.880 --> 01:57:39.560
Forrest Gump would be homeless. I just thought it was

1992
01:57:39.600 --> 01:57:43.600
important to show the other side, and if you've never

1993
01:57:43.720 --> 01:57:47.920
sat down and watched those classic Deep Space nine episodes

1994
01:57:48.000 --> 01:57:51.199
that we've been discussing, we are referring to past tense

1995
01:57:52.000 --> 01:57:55.399
that took place in the year that we now find ourselves.

1996
01:57:55.880 --> 01:57:59.199
This strikes me, as we lead into the coming last

1997
01:57:59.279 --> 01:58:02.159
week's leading up to an election, as an excellent time

1998
01:58:02.720 --> 01:58:07.479
to watch those episodes and ask yourself, what kind of

1999
01:58:07.560 --> 01:58:10.880
future do you want to live in? What kind of

2000
01:58:10.960 --> 01:58:15.439
future do you want your descendants to live in?

2001
01:58:17.520 --> 01:58:21.800
Uncle Jim? That is an excellent question, and the best

2002
01:58:21.840 --> 01:58:26.239
way that you can is to register to vote, get

2003
01:58:26.279 --> 01:58:30.479
out for the poll and pull that lever. Okay, So

2004
01:58:30.960 --> 01:58:33.520
that wraps up our show. Can you believe it? Wow?

2005
01:58:36.720 --> 01:58:38.560
I want to take this opportunity to say thank you,

01:58:39.119 --> 01:58:42.479

Is your picture on the T shirt?

And gag.

2033
02:00:30.159 --> 02:00:32.479
Hello, you have reached the Q continuum.

2034
02:00:32.920 --> 02:00:34.720
We are unable to get to the phone right now

2035
02:00:34.760 --> 02:00:37.199
because we are busy living in a plane of existence.

2036
02:00:37.560 --> 02:00:43.439
Your feeble mortal minds cannot possibly comprehend Furthermore, it's pointless

2037
02:00:43.479 --> 02:00:46.119
to leave a message because we of course already knew

2038
02:00:46.199 --> 02:00:49.159
that you would call, and we simply do not care.

2039
02:00:49.960 --> 02:01:01.840
Have a nice days

2040
02:01:03.439 --> 02:01:03.640
Way,
