Jim.

34
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.400
I've had a pretty good week. Sorry I missed the

35
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.560
show last week, but I had a great time up

36
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:23.560
on Vancouver Island in Canada, beautiful setting for a wedding

37
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.599
for a friend of mine. So although I hate missing

38
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.000
the podcast, it was well worth the trip and I'm

39
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.000
excited to talk about some more awesome episodes. We're just

40
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.479
we're running on all cylinders here with Prodigy.

41
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.479
We are definitely doing that. Also from Portland, the Toy

42
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:46.360
guy Paul himself. How you doing tonight, Paul? Yo? Yo

43
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.000
cha deech? How you doing?

44
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.599
Man? Good to hear from me all. It's fun to

45
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.560
be back if it's all gathered together here and a

46
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.479
good week for me. I got a chance to go

47
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:02.479
see Alien romula Us this week, which had no Romulans

48
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.879
in it, but still it was an exciting fun time.

49
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.800
So keeping the sci fi alive, Well.

50
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.919
I'm wondering, were they Star Trek fans when they picked

51
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.560
that Romulus and Rhenus or was that just a total coincidence?

52
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:22.759
So of Imperial Rome, Romulus and Remus refers to the

53
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.840
mythical founders of Rome. The Twins has nothing to do

54
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.159
with Star Trek whatsoever.

55
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.639
Star Trek from me, that's the.

56
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.919
Home Well it's you're going in reverse chronological order, friend,

57
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.319
but uh but yeah, it's a it's a Star Trek's

58
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.520
always tipped it sat to mythology, right and uh and

59
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.520
they're not the only ones, so clearly it a lot

60
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.479
of times folks who like science fiction like myths, and

61
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.280
so that informs their creation of these things as we.

62
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:57.520
All interesting, because you're right, I looked. I looked, and

63
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.759
I didn't see a single Romulin in that mood anywhere.

64
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.919
And I looked, but I didn't see any so at

65
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.879
any rate. And last, but definitely not least, we have

66
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.400
the birthday boy who wasn't with us last week, but

67
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.759
he's with us. Now, guy, how you doing, David?

68
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.199
Just a second, I'm ordering donuts?

69
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:24.920
Do that up for the show.

70
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.759
I'm doing pretty good. It got really hot over here

71
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.560
all of a sudden. What happened? It was like really

72
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.480
good and breeding and I was like sweating into it.

73
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:37.120
My goodness, But yeah, I'm doing pretty good. Are you

74
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:37.680
older now?

75
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.399
Are your donuts there yet? No?

76
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:43.040
Not yet?

77
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:49.360
Ah the suckers. So we had to cancel our David

78
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.240
Benjamin Thomas in a lineus from Discovery show. But I

79
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.439
have been in touch with him and the Skull has

80
00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:00.439
been rescheduled for September twenty six. If you guys have

81
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.680
any questions for a linus, you want to give us

82
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.920
a call on September twenty six, or you can visit

83
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.199
our Trek Talking dot com page and in the bottom

84
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:17.439
right hand corner there's a little round blue talkback mic.

85
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.319
You click on that mic and you can leave us

86
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.920
a question for David and we will play it on

87
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.319
the show and he will answer it for you. How

88
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.399
easy could it be? Because I know a lot of

89
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.759
people are gun shy, they don't want to be on

90
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.240
the radio. Or sometimes you guys will call, I'll answer

91
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.759
the phone, but you don't say anything. So this way

92
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.079
you can go to trek talkin dot com and report

93
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.199
a message at your leisure. We'll play it on the

94
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.000
show and David will answer it for you. I mean,

95
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:52.120
come on, easy, easy, easy, easy. Every week we go

96
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.240
and I ask all kinds of great questions polled on

97
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:03.800
our Facebook page, which is Shrek Talking Podcast. Accept no imitations, okay.

98
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.560
Trek Talking Podcast is the page you want to be

99
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.959
at And we have eighteen three hundred and thirty three

100
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:16.600
followers as of showtime, which is incredible since we started

101
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.680
with fifteen hundred just a few short months ago. So

102
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.199
people are starting to find us again and realize that

103
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.399
those other people are impersonators and that the real Trek

104
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:32.120
Talking is right here at Truk Talking Podcast. So when

105
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.879
you go to the Truck Talking Podcast page at the top,

106
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.720
you will see a pin post Live Long and Prosperous saying, hey,

107
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.720
where are you truck? He's listening to us from All

108
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.680
I got to do is answer the question. Leave some

109
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.600
emojis if you can, because that catches my attention because

110
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.040
I'm very shallow and when I see little pictures, you know,

111
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.360
it attracts me. Leave some emojis, and if you see

112
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.639
a heart next to your name from yours truly, uncle Jim,

113
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.360
then you want to tune into the next podcast because

114
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.439
your name is going to be immortalized forever. Is not

115
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.720
only a Star Trek fan, but a fan of Trek

116
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.439
Talking and Eric, would you like to get us started

117
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:10.560
with our fan shout outs?

118
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.279
I absolutely would, Jim. This week, our very first fan

119
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.319

00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.720
top contributor, and we just send out a lot of

121
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:27.639
love to Maria Medinska, who's saying hello to us from

for sure. But yeah, we it's It's cool, even if

00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.559
those places in Spain that you've been or one of

00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:44.320
those places you want to go? Because I have not been,

145
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:45.799
but it feels like one of those places i'd like

146
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:46.000
to go.

147
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.399
It's definitely the place I would want to go, but

148
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:49.799

All right, my friend?

183
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.240
Thank you, David. Well, we got all kinds of folks

184
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.559
have waited in from all over the different corners of

185
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.360
the globe this week. It's just amazing. First of all,

186
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.360
we're going to say hello to our friend Sean Sheringham,

187
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.240
who reaches out to us from over there in the

188
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.519
UK from Sussex in Brighton, absolutely amazing. Brighton is, of

189
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.360
course like a seaside resort town, right it's pretty much

190
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.159
just due south of London if memory serves but a

191
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:52.240
lovely place there. Lots of amazing archaeology in the Sussex

192
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:58.360
County area if I recollect so really pretty amazing. Absolutely

193
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.120
aching to get back to the UK at some point

194
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.840
and visit some of my friends and family over there

195
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.320
on other hemispheric lands. We're going to say hello to

196
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:15.120
our friend Raylan eccleston. Raylyn is a top contributor and

197
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:19.960
is flipping out and saying hello to us from Wellington. No,

198
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.000
excuse me, excuse me, top, I've got my geospatial coordinates

199
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:30.440
all askew. Here is contributor from murror Rundy, New South

200
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:37.080
Wales in lovely Australia. You know, you kind of go

201
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.639
south of the equator, friends, and the water goes down

202
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.200
the drained backwards is the call Coriolis effect. It's very

203
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.279
easy to get confused, right, I mean, you know what

204
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.639
I'm talking about, right, It's just ridiculous. But Mura Rundy

205
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:57.799
is over there on the more western side of the continent.

206
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:02.799
If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty I'm sure it's kind

207
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.279
of northwest of Sydney, I believe if I remember correctly.

208
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.279
But an incredible country and where a lot of amazing

209
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:14.279
things are going on all the time in Australia, and

210
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.799
so never a dull moment would be what I would

211
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.960
guess that things are like for our friend ray Lynn.

212
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.679
But not that far away, and perhaps just a short

213
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:30.159
flight you could visit our friend John Donnelly, who is

214
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:34.840
in Wellington in New Zealand, in Hobbit Country, as I

215
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.639
like to think about it. There absolutely spectacular. Wellington is

216
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.320
of course the capital of New Zealand and sits on

217
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:47.440
the North Islands north southernmost point of I think it's

218
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.799
a cook straight there. It's a really amazing spot to

219
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.480
hang your hat. I love it's a part of the world.

220
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.360
I really want to get to both Australia and New

221
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.559
Zealand both. I am a little leery of the fourteen

222
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:05.399
hour flight though, that's kind of hoping someday they get

223
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.799
that transport of technology where we talk about so frequently

224
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:10.759
in place, so it's a little easier to go visit

225
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:14.279
folks and not have to endure being strapped into an

226
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:19.159
aluminum can amidst turbulence for half a day or more.

227
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.159
But John and ray Lynn, great to hear from you.

228
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.720
Thanks for keeping Star Trek alive in the Southern Hemisphere.

229
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.200
And just to make sure that we all get our

230
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.320
requisite dose of jet lag, we'll fly back to the

231
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.639
European continent there and we'll say hello to our pal

232
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:39.000
Sylvia Meyer, who is writing us from the beautiful land

233
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.879
of Germany. From winter Lingen, Schwabish out of the Baden Wurtemburg.

234
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:50.559
If I've got that mispronounced properly, at least a few

235
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:58.399
crazy things I've gotten wrong there, but absolutely amazing Baden Wurtemberg,

236
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.720
I'm pretty sure, right smack dab in the middle of Germany,

237
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.639
if I'm not mistaken, you could practically walk to all

238
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:12.320
kinds of amazing spots there. I think if I remember correctly,

239
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:17.480
it's probably midpoint between Strasbourg and Munich, so of course

240
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:22.639
right there on the French border, a little bit east

241
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.279
of that border there, but not all the way over

242
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:29.000
where Munich is so pretty amazing. But what an incredible

243
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:32.559
land Europe is. And I think at some point I

244
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:35.120
may just have to say hey, see you later to

245
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.399
the United States and just spend a lot of time

246
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:40.799
hoofing it across all those different countries. Wish I had

247
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:41.840
done that when I was younger.

248
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:46.799
You know, you just got to be like Caine and

249
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.000
just walk the earth man walk the earth.

250
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.679
Yeah, I think you know that. You just basically know

251
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.519
that at the end of the day you can always

252
00:15:54.559 --> 00:16:00.879
find a pub someplace, right. I have kind of a

253
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.080
Simon Peg attitude when I travel. Right, it's just like

254
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.240
you know, well, well going to the pub, right, so right,

255
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.639
that's what you gotta do, right the pub, go to

256
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:10.799
the pub. What do you feel like doing then?

257
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:10.960
Oh?

258
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:11.799
Pub? You know.

259
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.679
So it's just a you know, kindred spirits. Right, And

260
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:20.000
there are a kajillion which is I don't like to

261
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.320
use too many big numbers, you know, because you know

262
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.360
I liked around. But there are jillion pubs scattered across Europe,

263
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.559
man from one end to the other. So there's always

264
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:31.200
a place where you can get in out of the rain,

265
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.480
have a refreshing beverage, and enjoy conversation with a potential

266
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.080
other Star Trek fan, no matter where you hang your hat.

267
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:42.120
So that's all I got. So hello from Sussex to

268
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:47.960
winter Lingen, to Wellington and to Mura Rundi and whatever's left.

269
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.480
We tend to go to the wacky corners of the

270
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:56.759
Northeastern Seaboard and our good friend battles wielding long in

271
00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:57.840
the tooth Uncle Jim.

272
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:01.759
Well, wouldn't that be a kajillion point five?

273
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:07.359
I knew that was gonna happen. Don't hit your bets.

274
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:12.519
Man, commit commit two point five guys.

275
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.319
Okay, what's the difference between in terms of the metrics. Okay,

276
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:16.880
what's the difference between to seven point four and a

277
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:18.319
seven point five in an episode?

278
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:18.519
Right?

279
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.519
And no one's ever able to answer me these questions.

280
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:20.839
They're like.

281
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:27.799
Uh, and I'm like, okay, great point made. Moving on,

282
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:30.440
it's the kling on, that's what.

283
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:35.960
Pling on, all right, guys. Well, we're gonna start off

284
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.759
with my list by saying hello and thank you Sherry

285
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:44.519
has who says she's a New York trekky forever, Live, long,

286
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.119
and prosper. I'm right there with your Sherry. I'm right

287
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:50.839
there with your sister. We also want to say thank

288
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:55.400
you and Kaplada Cheryl Kola who's listening to us, and Winchester,

289
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.920
New Hampshire up here in my neck of the woods.

290
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:01.920
We also I want to say thank you and Helloda

291
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.759
Curtis Keith, who's listening to us right now in Ohio.

292
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:11.440
And last, but absolutely definitely not least, we want to

293
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.640
say hello and thank you to Michiga the Bear, who's

294
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:19.079
listening to us in Brooklyn, New York. I wonder, I

295
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:25.160
wonder if Mishika knows Ray over in the Bronx. I

296
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:26.839
don't know, but I got to pick.

297
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:27.519
We have been.

298
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:28.759
We haven't heard from Ray in forever.

299
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.039
Man, Dude, there is a lot of real estate between

300
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.880
Brooklyn and the Bronx, right, I mean that's like, that's

301
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:37.720
like saying, hey, Jim, do you know anybody in Saskatchewan.

302
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:39.759
I mean, it's kind of like a bit of a

303
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:41.000
spread next door.

304
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.680
But they have subways that take you everywhere, I.

305
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:47.480
Know, and there's like ten million people there.

306
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.640
Brother, it's like twenty million.

307
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:56.359
Now you're you know, you could be there a pretty unique,

308
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.880
unique place and Brooklyn.

309
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:01.079
You know, I mean, maybe they're gonna like crash into

310
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:03.359
each other at a comic convention though or something like that,

311
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.039
because you know that's the focal point, right, maybe there's

312
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.519
a good start trek convention like the jab At Center

313
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.960
and whatnot and and uh and maybe Mishka and uh

314
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.319
and Sherry Locke Antlers. So there you go.

315
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:19.319
You never know, you never they could be They could

316
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:21.920
be done at King's Pizza on the corner of Fifth

317
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.880
Avenue and fifty third Street in Brooklyn getting a pizza

318
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.400
or an Italian ice. They could be there right.

319
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:33.640
Now, donut at King's Pizza.

320
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.559
But they do have great pizza. And then Killer col zones.

321
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:39.680
At least they did when last time I was there

322
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:40.440
thirty years ago.

323
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.559
Yeah they saw said cash.

324
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.319
Yeah they got away under there now Yeah.

325
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.000
So as I said to go to our Facebook page

326
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:02.400
Truck Talking Podcast, I like to throw up polls because

327
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:07.079
we're always interested in hearing what you guys are fans. Thanks. Now,

328
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:10.680
last week I put this one up just for Eric.

329
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:16.759
This was an Eric specific poll because last week was

330
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:22.559
a very special birthday and uh I put this up

331
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.119
for Eric, but Eric wasn't here, so we did the birthday,

332
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.359
but not the poll. So we're gonna do the poll now.

333
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:32.799
So Eric, you want to get us started, We.

334
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:43.000
Need a poll. Song may be wrong, whatever happens, this is.

335
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:50.440
Well this Jim so I you know, I do appreciate

336
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:54.039
this poll in some respects because it pays homage to

337
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:59.559
I think one of the most underrated characters in uh

338
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.559
Hard Trek. Also, she was not given a ton of

339
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.119
screen time and also not much character development. So I

340
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:09.599
would just preface all of that to say, the poll

341
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:13.200
is of these two choices, who is your favorite doctor?

342
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:17.000
And of course the two choices are our next generation doctors.

343
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:21.559
We have doctor Beverley Crusher played by Gage McFadden. We

344
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:26.720
also have Doctor Pulaski played by Diana Moldar, and I

345
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.759
will say that I will get behind doctor Pulaski any

346
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.759
old day. Two different kinds of characters here, very clearly,

347
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:38.119
two different kinds of characters. But you know, Pulaski got

348
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:43.279
one season, Crusher got six. Crusher gets a ninety percent

349
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:46.319
on this poll and Pulaski comes away with a ten percent,

350
00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:50.039
which I probably could have predicted because I feel like

351
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:53.519
I'm one of the few. But I mean, you can't

352
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:57.720
deny how great the actress is given a couple of seasons. Man,

353
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.440
I think Pulaski could have been a cool character and

354
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:02.920
not just the one who's racist. To date, to date

355
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:05.079
data data to data.

356
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:13.559
That doctor Crusher kind of crushed Doctor Pilasterian.

357
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.680
Another. But you know, I got the point to point

358
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.880
out that, you know, Diana Muldouer, who played Doctor Pulaski,

359
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.480
is Star Trek Loyalty Royalty, right, like she played you know,

360
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:31.279
not one but two of the roles in the original series, right,

361
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:35.279
you know, wink of an eye and returned to tomorrow.

362
00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:37.880
I want to say, but like you know, she's you know,

363
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:42.000
legit legend, right, So uh, you know, she it seemed

364
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:44.319
like the obvious casting choice right to bring her in

365
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.640
when you know, all kinds of wacky salary negotiations and

366
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:55.880
super bad behavior from male producers were going on Doctor Crusher.

367
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:57.720
It's just like they were really lucky to get her

368
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:02.599
back because frankly, kind of buying for Douchebag of the

369
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.079
Year award these guys. Right, It's just kind of amazing.

370
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:09.039
But but yeah, it was. But it's really interesting to

371
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:10.480
see that that can be the kind of thing that

372
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:13.880
happens in the annals of TV. It's rare, right that

373
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:17.039
they replace, you know, and they didn't just recast Oh

374
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:19.599
you're doctor Crusher now. That would have been like Darren

375
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.279
Stevenson Bewitched, right, that would have been like cringey. Thank god,

376
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.240
we don't do that anymore, I don't think, but uh,

377
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.799
you know, but so it's really interesting, right, And then

378
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.400
they never really explained, did they, Oh, doctor Pulaski went

379
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.000
back to run the proctology clinic at Starfleet Medical. I mean,

380
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.880
they never really ever really addressed it. I don't think so.

381
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:43.720
No, they explained why Crusher wasn't there, but they never

382
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:47.720
explained why. I think they more explained why Crusher came back,

383
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.039
unless why Pulaski left. It was just sort of a

384
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:54.240
I it up to Jean Luke man he wanted to do.

385
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.920
You know, I am inspired, and I'm going to throw

386
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:01.160
down a gauntlet of challenge on the air unexpectedly to

387
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:03.880
my friend Eric. To my friend Eric, are you ready

388
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:04.240
to do this?

389
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:05.279
I'm ready? Man?

390
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:09.079
Okay? I challenge you Eric right now, because you are

391
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:12.160
the uber fan of Pulaski, right, I would challenge you

392
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:17.960
to write to our friends at IDW Comics, who publish

393
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.519
quite a few different comics, right, and a lot of

394
00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:23.720
one shots, and I would like you to suggest to

395
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:26.160
them that you know a lot of Star Trek fans

396
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.200
and you would like to see a one shot comic

397
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.359
explaining what happened to doctor Pulaski. I don't think that

398
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:36.640
that's ever been done. I don't think it's ever been

399
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.720
cracked or explored. I would buy that one shot comic

400
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.200
because I would like to know. I think it would

401
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:44.680
be really interesting. Right, is she drink?

402
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:46.960
I buy that for a dollar?

403
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:48.000
I mean, come on, what do you think?

404
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.400
Man? Are you?

405
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:50.119
Are you a game? Will you accept my challenge?

406
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:53.480
I am going to accept your challenge. I have taken

407
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:57.720
a note in my notebook of taking notes, and that

408
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:02.799
means that it's going to happen. I'm super excited about this. Yeah,

409
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:04.160
it would be cool, you know.

410
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:06.720
I mean, maybe, you know, shamelessly throw in a plot

411
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:09.680
suggestion or something, right because you know doctor Pulaski better

412
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:12.440
than anybody else. Right, But come on, I mean, and

413
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:15.039
then maybe a year or so down the road, two years,

414
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:16.920
however long it takes the crank out of comic book,

415
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:19.440
maybe we'll see a special one shot the Pulaski issue.

416
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:20.799
I would be you know, why not.

417
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:24.559
You're welcome future talk Trak talking listeners, and.

418
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:26.559
You know why she never showed up in a mirror

419
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:28.960
universe over there? Right? I mean, this is not like

420
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.000
she doesn't exist. I mean, it's just like, you know,

421
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:34.799
she could be you know, you know, a serial killer.

422
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:39.200
Or a perfectly delightful person or a.

423
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:43.160
Lovely person who hosts tea parties for you know, Cardasmian Royalty.

424
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:43.640
Who knows?

425
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:45.359
But oh my gosh, I love it.

426
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:50.720
But a lot to explore courtesy of this magical pole question.

427
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:52.519
Yeah, yeah, I can't disagree with that.

428
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:57.119
I have to make a confession. One of those ten

429
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:01.519
percent for Pulaski was me, okay, so.

430
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:05.359
Tense, and now we've got a hundred responses, it's all

431
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:07.880
coming clear to me. Now, Yeah, I've.

432
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:12.200
Voted for Polski because I love when she does the

433
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:16.279
tea ceremony with Warf and it's like, well, it will

434
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:19.359
kill a human and she gives herself the inoculation and

435
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:21.880
drinks the poison with Warf and I was like, wow,

436
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.720
I'm starting to really dig this character, and puff she

437
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:28.720
was gone. So she got my vote because she had

438
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:31.359
the tea ceremony with Warf, Like, I gotta confess on

439
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:31.799
that one.

440
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.759
I mean, Pulaski was one of those characters that in

441
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:38.480
one season we see her change her attitude towards so

442
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:44.200
many groups of people, and like fellow crew members, who

443
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:48.720
you know, she rubs the wrong way at first, and

444
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:51.160
I think by the end of season too, she's not,

445
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:53.880
you know, She's poised for like bigger things. If she

446
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.039
had gotten one more season, I think we would have

447
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:59.240
seen Pulaski's whole thing really open up and she could

448
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:01.319
have become a a beloved character.

449
00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:02.480
But alas.

450
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.160
You know, we have but one beloved next Generation doctor.

451
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:09.160
She got ninety percent of.

452
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:12.359
The votes, So, well, we're very shallow on this show,

453
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.240
so you know, let.

454
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:18.680
Me all right, all right, Eric, So what's our next

455
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:19.480
poole question?

456
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:24.119
Well, okay, so jeff everybody loves Jeffery Combs. Jeffrey Combs

457
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:27.000
has played a ton of different characters on different Star

458
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:31.000
Trek shows, and so we asked our listeners or our

459
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:36.359
i guess, our Facebook participators who their favorite Jeffrey Combs's

460
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:39.400
characters were, and fifty percent of the votes went for

461
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:43.799
good old mister Schran from Star Trek Enterprise, which I

462
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:47.440
think is pretty salient. I mean I believe that.

463
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:50.480
Well, because that was gonna be a hell of a

464
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:51.079
lot higher.

465
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.640
Well, here's what I will say. I mean, he was

466
00:27:55.799 --> 00:28:00.359
on thirty one episodes of Deep Space, nine, one episodisode

467
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:07.160
of Star Trek Voyager, and only eleven episodes of Star

468
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.000
Trek Enterprise. So if you can believe that Shran was

469
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:14.359
only on eleven episodes, you know, the impact was obviously

470
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.160
right there. But fifty percent is pretty healthy. I mean,

471
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.799
that's a of the millions of characters that this guy

472
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:23.240
has played. You know, fifty percent going to Shran is

473
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:26.079
pretty good. We got twenty eight percent for wayun and

474
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:29.640
I think we're counting all the way Une's there, so

475
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.599
you know, seventy eight percent of the votes is in

476
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:36.640
those two characters. We got Brunt after that, who, of course,

477
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.000
is another one of his Deep Space nine characters. And

478
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:43.400
interesting fact, Brunt, he, like Jeffery Comebs, is one of

479
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:48.359
the only guys to play two completely different characters in

480
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.240
the same episode of Star Trek, and he did that

481
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:53.960
in an episode where he played Brunt and Wayun in

482
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:57.960
the same episode, So that's pretty cool. Five percent of

483
00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:02.960
our listeners like him as Agamus, the evil computer from

484
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.160
of course Star Trek Lower Decks, one of many evil computers.

485
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:12.200
We four percent of our listeners like him as Krem,

486
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:15.920
another far angie, and then one percent of our listeners

487
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:21.279
voted for Pink from also from Star Trek d Space nine,

488
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:25.640
and then one percent of our listeners voted for Tyron,

489
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:27.960
also from Star Trek D Space nine.

490
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:28.559
So there you go.

491
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:31.680
Sorry, Punk, I believe Pink is from Voyager, but yeah,

492
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:34.599
there you go. So a couple of odd ones got

493
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:37.160
some votes, which is pretty cool. That fifty percent ran,

494
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:38.839
you know, makes a lot of sense.

495
00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:41.559
I don't think I knew that he played all those characters.

496
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:45.480
Oh you didn't know that, Yeah, well I knew wayo.

497
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.559
I knew, of course, right, but but these really weird.

498
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.039
And I knew Agamusk because we've talked about it on

499
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.519
the air, But like Pink, I mean, who the.

500
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:53.920
Hell is that?

501
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:57.319
I mean, I'm like, you know, it's really if he's

502
00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:58.799
you know, working for the Trump campaign.

503
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:00.480
I mean I'm like, who the hell is that guy?

504
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.359
And you know Tyron, I mean it looks like he's

505
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:04.920
I don't know who the hell that is? Which is

506
00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:06.920
you know, it's crazy, so I don't know.

507
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:08.599
I mean that is it is pretty cool that he

508
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.799
gets like major and minor characters.

509
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:11.640
You know.

510
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.559
Yeah, he's such a good actor, man, I mean he's yeah, dynamite,

511
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.480
He's so great. It's just you know, he's like one

512
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:20.480
of those guys like Bruce Campbell is just like a

513
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:22.759
such beloved fan base.

514
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:22.839
You know.

515
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:24.079
Absolutely.

516
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:27.480
And also I want to add to the list here.

517
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:29.440
I know it's not on the poll, but I actually

518
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.319
saw Jeffrey Combe and a very young guy from like

519
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:36.200
way back in the nineteen nineties. Not not in person,

520
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:39.640
I meant like on a TV show. I saw him

521
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:42.319
when he was just like really super young, before he

522
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:45.559
got all that prosthetics prosthetics stuff on his face, and

523
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.640
I was like, whoa, he looks so weird and different

524
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:51.279
back then, and it's just so cool to see him

525
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:53.759
on a different show. And if you guys have ever

526
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:57.519
seen Babylon five, it was a really interesting episode that

527
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:00.559
he was in, So if want to throw that in there,

528
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:03.359
five is fantastic.

529
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.960
And you know, on Memory Alpha they count all the

530
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:09.519
characters that he's ever played, and it includes all the

531
00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:14.039
different way uns listed separately, and it includes hologram versions

532
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:17.279
of characters listed separately. But it's if you like to

533
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:20.640
counter numbers that way, there's twenty one different roles that

534
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:22.720
he's played on Star Trek.

535
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:27.079
So that's a ton, dude, that's amazing. Oh my god,

536
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:27.880
twenty one.

537
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:30.559
Yeah, I mean that's if you count like Shran and

538
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:32.400
like Hologram. Shran is two different games, and.

539
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:34.799
He's done like, you know, a buttload of like video

540
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:37.799
games too, where he like will play various characters on

541
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:40.240
Star Trek video games as well. So I mean he's

542
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:44.079
just all over the place, does a ton of stuff.

543
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:47.359
He was in like The Frighteners with Peter Jackson, and he's.

544
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:49.480
Just you know, he was in the first R rated

545
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:54.599
movie I ever saw, re Animator. Animator, Yeah, that would

546
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:55.240
be what it was.

547
00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:58.960
Yeah, he's great.

548
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:00.759
That's the first time I ever saw movies.

549
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:00.960
Man.

550
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:04.079
What I like about him is he's so he's so

551
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:06.039
willing to not be likable.

552
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:06.240
Right.

553
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.319
He will play characters who just don't have anything but

554
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:11.759
even about them. It's just like practically spitting into the camera. Right,

555
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:16.240
He's just like, you know, he's he's just he just

556
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:18.400
goes deep. Dude, love him.

557
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:25.640
Well. This next poll I threw in there for David,

558
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:29.319
and I have some fans calling me out on this

559
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:34.680
one because I left off a triple episode. The reason

560
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:39.039
why I left off a trible episode on this list

561
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:44.480
is because we have not reviewed that episode on this

562
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:56.960
podcast yet, so that next week's podcast we will review

563
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:03.920
that terrible episode. So there is a trible episode missing

564
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:08.119
from this list, and that's because we haven't talked about

565
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:10.759
it yet. So all those fans that called me out,

566
00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:16.079
that's why it's not there. Okay, So Eric, what was

567
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:18.400
the poll question and what were the results?

568
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.519
The question was what is your favorite trible episode? And

569
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:25.480
I know what you all think I'm gonna say is

570
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.720
the biggest one I'm going to start with the Trouble

571
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:31.000
with Tribles. The og of course, written by our good

572
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:34.720
friend David Gerald, who may or may not have given Jim.

573
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:35.680
Covid as I understand.

574
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:36.079
I don't know.

575
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:42.160
Anyway, Uh, thirty two percent of the vote. Thirty two

576
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:45.400
percent of the votes went to the Trouble with Tribles

577
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:49.200
thirty two percent. So gosh, that doesn't sound like very many.

578
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:53.759
Well that is because in this poll, people trials and tribulations,

579
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:57.400
that's right, from the deep space nine days got fifty

580
00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:59.400
seven percent of the votes.

581
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.599
So well, why is the larger number not listed first?

582
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:05.200
I mean, that's right because we wanted to cite people out.

583
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:08.639
Man, come on, just okay, I mean you're breaking sequence.

584
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:11.280
It's the twenty first century, man operations.

585
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.840
Is this poll a five point two or a five

586
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:16.559
point three.

587
00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:18.440
Three?

588
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:26.320
Okay? Can tell you that because the slide roll fell

589
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:28.159
out of my pocket. I mean, I guess, like, wow,

590
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:30.559
when I cut.

591
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:34.360
And paste all from the Facebook page onto our notes,

592
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.559
it puts it in the order that I asked the

593
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:40.480
question and not the order that they were answered. I'd

594
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:42.800
have to go in and rearrange all the answers to

595
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:43.320
do them.

596
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:48.880
That way, but you can read that an order can't understand.

597
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:53.159
It's like scales, you know, things here, So yeah, try

598
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:55.360
I kind of like that. It started with what you

599
00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:56.920
thought was going to be the answer, but then it

600
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:59.239
wasn't the answer. So that's my defense for the.

601
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:02.360
Way we actually here today. You convince me.

602
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:05.519
I'm so between those two episodes, we got eighty nine

603
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:07.280
percent of the vote, thirty two percent for the o G,

604
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:10.840
fifty seven percent for D Space nine, and then we

605
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:14.440
have like some pretty decent little numbers built up for

606
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.920
a couple other options. We've got seven percent of the

607
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:20.239
votes going to the Trouble with Edward, which was our

608
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:25.000
short trek with the uh it wasn't the dip ship.

609
00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:26.760
It was what is what do they call him? They

610
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:33.239
called Edwards? Edward's an idiot. Uh So seven percent of

611
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:36.239
the votes went for that one, which was a delightful

612
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:38.880
short track as far as I'm concerned, very silly. And

613
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:41.599
then four percent of the votes went for More Trouble,

614
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:46.679
Tribles More Troubles, which of course is our animated series

615
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:50.880
episode that has tribles all over the place. So I

616
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.039
think that's pretty cool. I really liked the.

617
00:35:53.079 --> 00:36:02.039
Trible poll personally, lots of tribles will be So who

618
00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:15.880
is going to be taking over for Charles? I guess

619
00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:19.760
I'll jump in, I guess and do Charles.

620
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:21.519
I thought Eric, I thought it was agreed in the

621
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:22.840
chat that Eric was doing this.

622
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:26.000
I also agree that I was agreed in the chat

623
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:26.719
that I was doing this.

624
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:28.960
Yes, yes, chat.

625
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:33.280
Wait wait is this is there a chat that I missed?

626
00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:35.880
There was a there was a chat you might have missed. Yeah,

627
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:37.199
it was in there.

628
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:41.000
I command Eric just like knock him over.

629
00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:45.440
So all and.

630
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:51.079
All right, this is uh Charles. Yeah, Charles Cadet training

631
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:54.400
here and he has picked out I think some excellent

632
00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:59.119
tie into this week's episodes of Star Trek Prodigy. We

633
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:02.039
have topping the list, of course, pretty much all of

634
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:04.800
Star Trek Voyager where we get to see Commander Chacote,

635
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.440
and I think in particular we can talk about it

636
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:10.119
in a little bit. We get Chekote talking about being

637
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:11.920
in the Machi and stuff, which goes all the way

638
00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:14.960
back to the beginning of Voyager. So if you haven't

639
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:18.079
seen Star Trek Voyager, you're missing out. You should go

640
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:23.039
check it out. Also, Charles has pulled a picard season

641
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:27.519
one the aspect that Picard, of course in that was

642
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:31.440
on the Romulin mission, the evacuation of Romulus, which is

643
00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:34.960
referenced in these two episodes as well, so I thought

644
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:36.360
it was kind of cool that they tied that in.

645
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:41.599
Also from Picard, We've got the book Last Best Hope,

646
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:46.159
which we reviewed on this podcast many years ago when

647
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:49.679
it first came out, which kind of tells the story

648
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.800
of the details of where Picard was during that Romulin

649
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:56.800
evacuation and kind of some of the really hard decisions

650
00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:59.280
that he had to make along the way. So a

651
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.760
very small for instance, Star Trek Prodigy here, but lots

652
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:03.800
of the card out there to catch you up on

653
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:06.280
that lore if you're not familiar with it, including what

654
00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:09.039
happened to Beverly Crusher, which is displayed in the car

655
00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:14.920
at season three. My personal favorite after Trek Cadet training

656
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:18.719
that he actually pulled here was the Deep Space nine

657
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:22.840
episode Explorers from season three, episode twenty two, and you'll

658
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.679
remember that that's the one where Jake and his dad

659
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:28.360
get the Bajoran lightship and they have to take it

660
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:30.440
from point A to point B and they have kind

661
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.480
of a father son adventure. And I think that Charles

662
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:36.480
pulled that because it's the closest thing that we have

663
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:39.480
to kind of the sailing ship thing that we get

664
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:43.599
in these couple episodes of Prodigy here, and I think

665
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:45.719
that's actually a pretty fair tie in. There's some like

666
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:49.440
old rigging happening in sales and all kinds of fun stuff,

667
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:52.440
which was exactly what was happening in that Deep Space

668
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:56.599
nine episode. So there you go. That is Charles' cadet

669
00:38:56.679 --> 00:38:57.519
training for this week.

670
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:03.639
Extend back to you exiting, exciting, And not only are

671
00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:07.360
there polls on our Facebook page, we also have fan

672
00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:12.840
ratings and I usually put it up, you know, around

673
00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:16.599
coffee break time on Friday, and I ask you guys, well,

674
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:20.079
when we have weekly episodes. This is different because they

675
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.960
dropped them all at once, but normally it would be

676
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:28.679
around ten am Pacific or Eastern time on Friday, and

677
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:31.320
I asked you guys what you thought about this week's episode,

678
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:33.880
and in this case, it would be the last flight

679
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:38.000
of the proto Star part one and part two. And

680
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:42.840
usually we get some fan comments, but we're not getting

681
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:46.280
them because of the way Netflix dropped it. But at

682
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:51.400
any rate, Eric, what did our fans score this episode

683
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:52.679
or pair of episodes.

684
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:55.360
I should say, well, Jim, fans gave this pair of

685
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:59.639
episodes a nine point zero, nine point zero, So put

686
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:02.679
that in perspective, that is the third highest rating that

687
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:06.519
we've seen this season from the fans. Now, granted, the

688
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:10.000
lowest rating that we've seen the entire season from fans

689
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:12.480
was a seven point two, So you know, generally we're

690
00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.840
dealing with a scale that you know is between seven

691
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:20.920
point two and ten. So basically Prodigy's doing it. So

692
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:24.159
a nine is nothing to scoff at, but it is

693
00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:26.280
definitely at the upper end of that scale.

694
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:32.679
Definitely nothing to scoff at. Now did Charles did Charles

695
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:35.159
leave his his score for us?

696
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:41.159
Yeah, Charles Charles left us a comment I believe in

697
00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:45.800
the in the chat here, let's see where was that

698
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:49.360
he said? I thought Last Flight of the Protostar had

699
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.280
a good example of a captain who's worn out and

700
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:55.840
beaten down. A crew with energy is a great motivator.

701
00:40:56.360 --> 00:40:59.000
I love the visit with Beverly Crusher. I love the

702
00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:02.519
growth we are getting from Doll. I'll give both episodes

703
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:04.800
a nine point five again this week.

704
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:09.400
Okay, so we're starting off with a nine from the

705
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:13.559
fans and a nine point five from Charles, and we're

706
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:16.079
going to hand it over to Paul and we're gonna

707
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:18.400
see what kind of decimal Paul comes up with.

708
00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:25.239
All right, Yeah, I think I feel a decimal emerging

709
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:32.320
right now. You know, before we get started, we should

710
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:34.320
have mentioned this at the top of the show, because

711
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:37.440
it is August twenty ninth today, and I think it

712
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:41.280
would behoove us all to pay homage and acknowledge and

713
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:47.159
wish everybody a happy sky Net Becomes Aware day to

714
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:50.239
all those who celebrate, because of course we know that

715
00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:55.320
August twenty ninth is the day that happens back in

716
00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:59.119
the nineties. So there, I think we're okay. Now, anyhow,

717
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:01.719
we're going to talk out both Am I right or

718
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:02.159
am I right?

719
00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:02.360
Well?

720
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:04.159
I think we're I think we're closer than ever, is.

721
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:04.960
What you meant to say?

722
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:10.480
Yeah, yeah, I just I don't know. AI has been

723
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:13.840
used in a pretty way that I don't think Jim

724
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:18.239
Cameron anticipated. It's like to do you know, uh, creepy

725
00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:22.280
drawings of I'm not even going there. Yeah, so dud, we.

726
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:23.840
Gonna have a whole AI podcast.

727
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:24.280
Let's do it.

728
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:24.719
I'm ready.

729
00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:26.519
Yeah, I think we could. We can fill that up

730
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:29.840
pretty good, you know. So anyhow to the task at hand,

731
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:32.559
we're going to talk about this magical two parter. We've

732
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:35.280
had two two parties in a row, which is crazy

733
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:38.239
because we just reviewed a two part of recently and

734
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:40.760
now we've got the last flight of the Protostar Part

735
00:42:41.239 --> 00:42:44.800
one and part two. I'm I'm where I'm going First,

736
00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:47.440
I'll probably do a quick recap, Fellows, does that seem

737
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:49.840
reasonable just to go through here, just to sort of

738
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:53.239
set the stage. We start off on this alien planet, right,

739
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:57.280
and we see Dracote has been marooned there. He is

740
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:02.320
living a very Robinson Crusoe existing existence, right. He's gathering

741
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:07.639
food and interestingly, he is carving these kind of depictions

742
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:10.360
of his bygone shipmates that we later find out are

743
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:14.920
like chest set representations of all of the former shipmates

744
00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:18.440
who've gone ahead, and he's the last one left. And

745
00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:23.559
interestingly we see a DrAk is among those depictions as well,

746
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:28.800
his Avan second in command there and mentioning a Drake

747
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:33.199
comes up as a sore subject, right, And then all

748
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:36.519
of a sudden, the Cadets appear in one of Chacota's

749
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:41.639
like net traps, right, and Hologram Jane Way, who is

750
00:43:41.719 --> 00:43:44.519
with Chacota, of course, doesn't recognize the Cadets at all

751
00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:47.280
because of the whole variants of time, right, So she

752
00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:50.519
doesn't from her perspective, she's not met them yet, right.

753
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:52.719
But we later find out that a drik has been

754
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:56.159
lost in the planet has these fierce ion storms, right,

755
00:43:56.360 --> 00:44:00.639
and Chacote says very definitively, you're never getting my ship

756
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:04.719
off this planet. When they explain what they need to

757
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:06.840
do and what they're hoping to do to be able

758
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:11.079
to move Chacote and the protostar in a way that

759
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:16.679
resets time and stabilizes everything, that's the plot of this series.

760
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:19.320
And I got to just throw out a couple of things.

761
00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:21.760
I think we're great. One, I think, right out of

762
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:24.239
the gate, this is a really great depiction of an

763
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:29.320
alien planet. I found it was really interestingly rendered. A

764
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:32.960
lot of unique weird elements in terms of the fauna

765
00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:37.039
that are living there and the way the ecosphere developed,

766
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:40.079
very weird, but also very convincing. So I thought, kudos

767
00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:42.199
to everyone who came together to design.

768
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:45.400
This planet.

769
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:51.159
And I was really taken with Beltran's performance of Chacote

770
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:53.440
on here. I you know, I thought he just did

771
00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:55.719
a great job of playing a really burned out guy

772
00:44:56.280 --> 00:44:59.079
and somebody who's kind of just been by himself way

773
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:02.639
too long kind of gotten to him and his teather

774
00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:06.639
and ethics and you know, optimism have kind of been shattered.

775
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:08.400
So I thought, you really want to just call out

776
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:10.760
his performance. I said, he did a great job. I

777
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:13.880
believe the planet was called Yacida if I remember correctly.

778
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:17.639
But they have a lot of ion storms, and things

779
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:20.519
start out where he's just so bitter. Right, He's basically

780
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:24.639
going to leave the cadets outside the ship to just weather,

781
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:28.159
you know, the fearce electrical bombardment of these ion storms.

782
00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:30.679
But you know, holographic Janeway convinces him, heh, you know,

783
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:32.960
you should probably let these kids in the protostar because

784
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:34.280
they're probably going to freaking die.

785
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:35.719
So he does that.

786
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:38.639
He has a change of heart, but they run into

787
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:42.039
the big problem here. This ship has no fuel. Okay,

788
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:44.440
they can't leave, right, but he's basically maroon there forever.

789
00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:47.760
The protocore is gone and the warp drive is gone,

790
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:49.639
so they have no fuel to be able to do anything.

791
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:53.159
And Dal has a great line right where he's just

792
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:55.840
basically had it with this situation. Right, It's just because

793
00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:59.519
Dal's grappling with his own perceptions of you know, what

794
00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:01.960
is it to be a commander? Right? I mean that's

795
00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:04.079
kind of his character through line, right, that's part of

796
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:07.000
his arc, and he just basically loses it with Chagote.

797
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:09.159
He's right, He's like, is this how Starfleet trains their

798
00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:12.280
captains to be broken old men who give up hope

799
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:14.800
when things get tough? I was like, wow, I mean

800
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:18.559
that's a great line, right, and it really it really

801
00:46:18.679 --> 00:46:23.280
wounds Chacote. I think hearing that, right, he gets really

802
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:27.079
super pissed off. And then and I think, taking a

803
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:31.440
little bit more high altitude perspective of things, Gwynn's take

804
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:33.880
on Chigote is it'll take more than fixing a ship,

805
00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:36.920
we have to fix a captain, which I thought was great.

806
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:41.599
So in the course of going to like forage for

807
00:46:41.719 --> 00:46:44.039
something that he's been sent to find, Dal runs a

808
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:46.239
foul of some monster that at first we do not

809
00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:50.400
see as this massive ion storms approaching. So then there's

810
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:52.880
this really cool roverb I don't think we've ever seen before.

811
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:55.920
Have we ever seen this rover before? Gang the multiple

812
00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:59.039
wheels is very old design with like a bunch of

813
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:02.440
wheels up front and can actually fly and convert itself

814
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:05.519
into a you know, you know, kind of a speeder

815
00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:08.559
type of thing. Really really cool. So Chakote, Gwin and

816
00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:10.719
all the others go off to look for Dow in

817
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:13.400
this rover, right, and they end up in these underground

818
00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:16.519
tunnels that are the layers of these crazy giant, you know,

819
00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:22.559
eel like monsters. They're just huge, right, and uh, And

820
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:27.079
they find Dow ultimately, right, but they also find something else.

821
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:29.079
And I thought this was a really bold choice for

822
00:47:29.199 --> 00:47:31.480
a show that is kind of, you know, ostensibly kind

823
00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:35.199
of a kid's show, because whenever a character and a

824
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:38.840
television show is mysteriously missing, you're just gonna assume that somehow,

825
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:40.440
oh we thought they were dead, but they're not. And

826
00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:43.760
they come back and we find them and it's happy hooray, Right,

827
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:47.559
But that's not what happens. They found Adric's remains, right

828
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:51.760
A Drake is definitively dead, and and it's it's poignant

829
00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:54.159
and it's sad. It's kind of like a bold choice

830
00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:56.239
to do that, actually, you know, because he was I think,

831
00:47:56.360 --> 00:48:03.199
really beloved and you know, certainly the cadets like him, right,

832
00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:05.760
I mean, they enjoyed teasing him about is you know,

833
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:09.320
so it's kind of sad that they find him. But

834
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:11.960
he's got the gift that keeps on giving. He's got

835
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:14.320
a container of antimatter that he was somehow able to

836
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:20.440
extract from the ion electric electrical storm. Right, So it's great.

837
00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:23.760
And the poignance of all this gives Chacote a change

838
00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:28.280
of heart, right, he starts to come around. And I

839
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:32.199
think the finding of what a drik did, it's not

840
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:36.159
just finding antimatter. A dreak also gave him hope and

841
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:39.239
renewed his hope, right, That's my take on it. And

842
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:42.559
so they give a drink a burial at sea, and

843
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:46.639
the first episode ends with an enigmatic line for Chakota

844
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:50.159
where he says, before the ship fly first, it has

845
00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:54.320
to sail, and thus end this episode one of our

846
00:48:54.360 --> 00:48:58.679
two parter Right as episode two begins, we cut over

847
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:02.360
and we're in the different aspect of things with Jane

848
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:05.760
Way and Voyager recapping everything that happened in the previous

849
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:08.800
two parterre with Wesley and the Loom and they're sitting

850
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:11.440
there waiting for some sign of the cadets and for

851
00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:15.079
the proto Star and then we get our visit from

852
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:19.280
our wacky Tellwright counselor doctor Neom. And everyone knows who

853
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:26.199
does doctor Neum's voice, right, Oh, I don't any Seinfeld

854
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:34.119
fans here. Yeah it's Jason Alexander. Yeah yeah, okay, which

855
00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:38.840
is crazy, crazy casting, but he's doctor Newm and he

856
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:43.440
basically whips up this is what Eric and Charles were

857
00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:46.440
intimating in their cadet training. There whips up a Doctor

858
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:51.360
Crusher video, right, and Jane Way, he was able to

859
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:53.599
talk with Doctor Crusher about Wesley and kind of fill

860
00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:55.239
in some gaps there, and it was kind of a

861
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:56.119
nice little cameo.

862
00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:56.480
Right.

863
00:49:56.559 --> 00:49:59.320
I don't know how much it actually advanced the plot,

864
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:01.039
but I thought it. It's cool, and it was really

865
00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:04.880
interesting to see a animated depiction of Doctor Crusher ninety

866
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:11.719
percent fan favorite, but it was great. I just love

867
00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:14.719
hearing her work, so she's terrific. So on the Protostar, meanwhile,

868
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:17.280
the cadets and Chacote, they are finishing all these elaborate

869
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:20.119
repairs to the ship, right, and they're not just repairing it,

870
00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:23.920
they're modifying it so it can basically, uh, you know,

871
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:27.360
take a page out of other episodes and films that

872
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:31.400
have really evoked like a nautical scene, right like where

873
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:33.960
we've seen in you know, Wrath of Khan is a

874
00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:38.000
pirate movie. I mean the director, you know, openly acknowledges that, right,

875
00:50:38.079 --> 00:50:40.960
a pirate movie meets Moby Dick. Huge chunks of star

876
00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:44.760
Trek generations are a seafaring nautical movie, right, And this

877
00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:47.519
is in that same tradition, which is I think really

878
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:50.920
really cool. So they're fashioning into it in a sailing ship.

879
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:54.800
Why are they doing this? Okay? Well, the reason is

880
00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:58.920
they need deuterium gas, okay, before they can engage the

881
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:01.159
warp core. So what they have to be able to

882
00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:04.559
do is they know that there is a source that Chacot.

883
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:04.920
Is aware of.

884
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:08.880
It's way the hell across this gigantic vapor ocean, right,

885
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:10.880
and so they have to be able to go there

886
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:16.519
and use the Bussard collectors to extract the deitium, right

887
00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:18.840
and sail over there and get it up out of

888
00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:22.400
this you know, deuterium gas so that they can actually

889
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:25.400
basically use that as an igniter for the warp core.

890
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:29.039
Am I fastardizing the science enough? Folks?

891
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:33.039
Nor your science is as solid as the.

892
00:51:33.079 --> 00:51:37.320
Episode I'm trying, man, I'm trying. If I didn't take notes,

893
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:38.239
I would be a mess.

894
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:38.719
Right.

895
00:51:39.599 --> 00:51:42.360
So, and what I like about this show is there's

896
00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:47.199
a great mix counterpointing all the time between you know,

897
00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:50.199
action and what, in the wrong hands could be an

898
00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:53.920
unfathomably complex plot. But I think, you know, thanks to

899
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:56.480
Aaron's judgment and the other writers on this show, I

900
00:51:56.559 --> 00:51:59.480
think they keep it followable. That's a new word. I

901
00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:02.480
just advent that it's followable, but you've actually got that.

902
00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:05.519
But it's counterpointed with character work, right. And so right

903
00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:08.199
in the midst of this huge, big deal that they

904
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:10.440
have to go and undertake to do this, Dal opens

905
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:12.639
up to Chacote about his self doubt to ever be

906
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:16.880
able to be captain right, And it's a because you know,

907
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:18.400
he had this thing in the previous two part of

908
00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:20.719
where he accidentally got a glimpse of his future and

909
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:22.639
he is worried that he's going to just suck and

910
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:25.360
never be able to fill that dream of himself. And

911
00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:28.960
there's a great scene there, and again great work by

912
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.360
Beltron right where Chacote talks about similarly feeling lost with

913
00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:35.480
and he was with the McKee right before he met

914
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:40.239
Jane Way, and he has a nice thematic line. That

915
00:52:40.639 --> 00:52:43.039
bit of advice that he offers to dal that I'm

916
00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:44.719
sure we're going to be hearing again. He goes, whenever

917
00:52:44.760 --> 00:52:49.000
you're feeling lost, it's best to find where you're needed most.

918
00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:52.280
So I thought that was great, right, very cool, so

919
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:54.719
beautiful dialogue in the show. I love the way they

920
00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:57.400
handle it, and it's always helping the characters and helping

921
00:52:57.519 --> 00:52:59.679
gently advance the plot down to the next stage of

922
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:04.519
the of the proceedings there. So they all go below

923
00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:08.239
deck in this great, big deuterium gas mailstrom, right, but

924
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:10.599
there's a problem. They don't have a rudder. The rudder

925
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:12.440
is all screwed up because of all this debris and

926
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:17.000
chaos and stuff and just the tempestuous nature of the storm. Right,

927
00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:20.519
So they decide that they have to go and manually

928
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:23.880
go back up above board, above on the deck and

929
00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:27.000
on the outside of the ship and manually angle the rudder,

930
00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:30.199
which is just sounds perilous in the extreme, right, it's

931
00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:33.039
just a huge bad idea, But what are the choices

932
00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:34.599
they have? Otherwise they're not going to be able to

933
00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:38.719
get the deuterium. So they're successful and they're able to

934
00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:40.920
free the rudder. But in all the chaos of jumping

935
00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:44.039
around on the exterior of the ship, like you know

936
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:49.159
many a great nautical story. Right, Chakota is swept overboard

937
00:53:49.360 --> 00:53:56.360
right and he falls into this crazy vapor ocean right

938
00:53:56.639 --> 00:54:02.199
seemingly lost, and without even a second of hesitat, Dal

939
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:04.719
jumps off the ship to go and rescue him, right

940
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:08.199
to the point that he even lets go of his

941
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:12.559
tether right and swims down through the vapor ocean even

942
00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:17.119
further to make sure he gets Checkote. Pretty good defining

943
00:54:17.159 --> 00:54:19.199
act for somebody who wants to be a captain. I

944
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:22.159
would say, despite his doubt, he just didn't even think

945
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:23.679
about it. He just was the right thing to do

946
00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:25.920
is to try to save another human being, and so

947
00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:28.679
he just did it. So that everybody back on deck

948
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:32.199
is worried that they've lost Dal forever in addition to Chacote.

949
00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:36.800
But thanks to great timing there, Dal was able to

950
00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:38.760
grab Chacote and they hitched a ride on one of

951
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:43.280
the giant electro wheels Caves who are now heading pell

952
00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:45.320
Mell try to get out of there before this tempest

953
00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:47.400
hits and escape the mailstrom because they're all freaked out

954
00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:49.800
and there's gotten up electricity to live on and there

955
00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:52.400
they're heading out, so they're able to all be you

956
00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:55.920
reunited and thank you, thank you, thank you to all

957
00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:59.320
of that good stuff. Magically, the protostar is able to

958
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:03.480
achieve escape velocity and warp off the planet into space.

959
00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:07.559
But as the episode ends, we're left with the dangling

960
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:10.039
yet another problem that we have to do right, because

961
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:11.639
one of the things we found out was that there's

962
00:55:11.719 --> 00:55:14.400
no protocore, there's no proto drive right, and without it,

963
00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:19.639
Voyager is three thousand light years away, so they basically

964
00:55:20.159 --> 00:55:24.920
have to build a new protocore. This involves basically the

965
00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:30.039
equivalent of having to build a new star, and these

966
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:33.719
cadets seem like they're perfectly up for the challenge because

967
00:55:33.719 --> 00:55:35.519
they've just had to jerry rig a bunch of other

968
00:55:35.559 --> 00:55:40.039
crazy things. So they are off to tackle that in

969
00:55:40.280 --> 00:55:44.199
presumably our next episode, so that they can light a

970
00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:47.639
match there and get things going to catch up with

971
00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:50.000
Voyager all those light years away. So that is my

972
00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:54.199
summation of part one and part two my synopsis there.

973
00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:57.079
I think these were great episodes, right. I think that

974
00:55:57.239 --> 00:55:59.639
they really advanced the plot a lot. I love the

975
00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:08.760
the way that there are equal parts, really good character

976
00:56:08.840 --> 00:56:12.159
work and really good escalating plot dynamics.

977
00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:12.400
Right.

978
00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:16.119
I thought that was really well handled. I think that

979
00:56:17.800 --> 00:56:22.239
the planet, like I said, was really well depicted, really

980
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:25.679
alien looking, but not like too weird. I mean it

981
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:29.159
was convincing. It was believable, right. But I'm a big

982
00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:32.039
fan after having not seen him work for a long

983
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:35.440
time of this, Robert beltran right as Chakote here. I

984
00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:37.400
think he just does a great job as a character

985
00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:40.840
and and really humanized him right, and took him in

986
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:43.880
these two episodes and through a whole arc right of

987
00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:49.559
being really bitter and and bonding with the younger iteration

988
00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:53.719
of himself in dahal right, and trying to realize it's okay,

989
00:56:53.840 --> 00:56:56.840
he's getting to falling into potential bitterness the way I was,

990
00:56:57.039 --> 00:57:01.239
and he kind of mentors him and gives him some

991
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:03.840
inspirational advice. And I thought that was really great, right,

992
00:57:03.960 --> 00:57:06.519
So to me, really nice work there. I found this

993
00:57:07.320 --> 00:57:10.920
you know, complicated dueling plots, very easy to follow and

994
00:57:11.000 --> 00:57:14.159
engaging and I'm as usual, really suspenseful. I want to

995
00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:16.760
see what happens next. I'm engaged, and I thought this

996
00:57:16.920 --> 00:57:19.400
is really well done, so I'm super excited about it.

997
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:23.519
I think it's a great show, very very happy with

998
00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:28.360
the direction that this season has gone. So I would

999
00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:31.719
give the same episode grade to both these episodes, parts

1000
00:57:31.760 --> 00:57:34.039
one and two. I would give it a solid nine.

1001
00:57:35.079 --> 00:57:38.679
Right across the beam. I think that there's good stuff

1002
00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:40.760
going on here, and I just thought it was a

1003
00:57:40.840 --> 00:57:44.199
delight so super super fun for me. What did you

1004
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:44.760
guys think?

1005
00:57:46.199 --> 00:57:49.320
No decimals, No decimals.

1006
00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:53.480
I am not a flip flopper. I am not a

1007
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:56.079
person who cannot decide what he thinks. I know what

1008
00:57:56.239 --> 00:57:59.880
I think the decimals are for the undecided the week.

1009
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:02.719
Well, why are you.

1010
00:58:06.039 --> 00:58:08.320
See? So I do agree with a lot with Paul

1011
00:58:08.440 --> 00:58:15.400
has been saying. I did notice, though, that when they

1012
00:58:16.079 --> 00:58:19.480
got Crusher onto the show, I actually thought it was

1013
00:58:19.519 --> 00:58:25.760
an interesting take on where the timeline of this episode

1014
00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:31.199
took place and what was going on with everybody during

1015
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:34.960
that time, because, you know, she mentioned that the card

1016
00:58:35.159 --> 00:58:39.239
was off, getting the romulants evacuated from the planet and everything.

1017
00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:43.000
So I'm trying to remember if this happened like alfter

1018
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:45.920
the supernova or before. I don't know, but it was

1019
00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:51.400
interesting to see, like in a sequence of timeline, you know,

1020
00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:53.519
it was just kind of I actually liked that part

1021
00:58:53.559 --> 00:58:56.559
about it. But however, I do have a little nippicky

1022
00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:59.440
thing about this particular episode, and I believe this would

1023
00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:06.000
part two. Well. I don't understand why, but for some

1024
00:59:06.199 --> 00:59:09.480
odd reason, when I saw doctor Crusher, I was like,

1025
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:12.679
that does not look like Doctor Crusher for some reason.

1026
00:59:13.199 --> 00:59:13.559
I don't know.

1027
00:59:13.639 --> 00:59:15.480
It might have been just me, But did anyone else

1028
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:15.760
get that?

1029
00:59:18.039 --> 00:59:21.519
Yeah, I would say, of the depictions of the characters

1030
00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:25.159
that we know so far, like I personally found her

1031
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:28.880
depiction physical depiction to be the weakest. I just like,

1032
00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:31.039
I didn't think she really looked like the doctor very

1033
00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:35.320
much at all. Yeah, Okay, I mean her hair, which

1034
00:59:35.400 --> 00:59:38.320
was part of it, and she had the gray thing

1035
00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:40.960
going on like she did on Picards, So you know,

1036
00:59:41.239 --> 00:59:43.000
maybe I don't know if they needed to let her

1037
00:59:43.079 --> 00:59:45.800
hair down a little bit more to like, but it's

1038
00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:47.800
just like the shape of her face or something was off.

1039
00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:50.199
Yeah, what were you about to say, Jim?

1040
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:54.679
I agreed completely, David. I was like, if they didn't

1041
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:57.320
tell me that was Crusher, I might not have known

1042
00:59:57.480 --> 00:59:59.719
that something was Yeah.

1043
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:03.800
Yeah, that was one thing I didn't really like about it.

1044
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:09.519
So Yeah, anyways, maybe they just kind of like rusted

1045
01:00:09.679 --> 01:00:11.280
or something. I have no idea, but yeah, that was

1046
01:00:11.320 --> 01:00:14.800
a little it took me out of the loop there

1047
01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:17.440
for a while. But other than that, the episode was

1048
01:00:17.480 --> 01:00:21.519
really good. I like the pacing, I like the whole

1049
01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:28.000
from beginning to end the episode where to kind of

1050
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:34.559
like throttle the characters together. And yeah, I think Paul

1051
01:00:34.639 --> 01:00:38.519
pretty much said it all. So I don't know, I'm

1052
01:00:39.199 --> 01:00:41.159
for one, I'm definitely going to be given it a

1053
01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:53.559
nine point three number two though, I definitely thought it

1054
01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:57.280
was kind of weird that Dow that she thought that

1055
01:00:57.400 --> 01:00:59.599
he could try and get the ship out from underneath

1056
01:00:59.599 --> 01:01:03.360
the rock with that little tiny rover thingy, and I'm like,

1057
01:01:04.039 --> 01:01:09.559
that's a little strange. But and then after the rock

1058
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:13.840
got moved, it seems like they just left the rover

1059
01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:16.519
there without even bringing it in. I'm like, what the

1060
01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:19.239
thing's gotta be useful? That was like why they're just

1061
01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:23.199
leaving on the planet. So I was like, okay, well, okay, And.

1062
01:01:23.639 --> 01:01:24.920
So this one.

1063
01:01:26.320 --> 01:01:31.480
Because of those two things, I'm definitely gonna be probably

1064
01:01:31.519 --> 01:01:34.159
giving this one a little bit lower score. But yeah,

1065
01:01:34.159 --> 01:01:36.639
I don't really the only points that I could come

1066
01:01:36.679 --> 01:01:39.119
across right now. But also I just want to let

1067
01:01:39.159 --> 01:01:42.119
everybody know that my donut a rice shaved. So we're good.

1068
01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:47.199
That's the important thing. That's the big thing. The donuts

1069
01:01:47.199 --> 01:01:47.679
are okay.

1070
01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:55.199
Yeah, So I'm gonna give this one an eight point nine.

1071
01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:58.719
For the second one, it was good, but there's a

1072
01:01:58.719 --> 01:02:00.559
couple of things that kind of put me off.

1073
01:02:02.960 --> 01:02:06.239
Eight point nine. All right, Eric, take it away, buddy.

1074
01:02:07.519 --> 01:02:12.599
All right, yeah, great, great reviews, guys. Let's see what

1075
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:16.000
can I add. I think I you know, at the

1076
01:02:16.039 --> 01:02:18.360
beginning of that first episode, I definitely was taking it

1077
01:02:18.440 --> 01:02:20.679
back at first. That's sort of the hardness of Chacota.

1078
01:02:20.800 --> 01:02:22.719
So I think Paul made a good point that Chacoti

1079
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:25.440
goes through kind of a nice character arc over the

1080
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:29.400
two episodes, going from a hard, bitter old man as

1081
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:32.599
they describe him, to somebody who's kind of working with everybody. Again.

1082
01:02:33.039 --> 01:02:35.679
I really like that there was that moment where he

1083
01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:39.559
and Dal kind of sit down and have a heart

1084
01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:43.079
to heart where he kind of mentors Dal. I think

1085
01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:46.239
Paul brought that up to, you know, maybe seeing a

1086
01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:50.239
bit of himself in Doll there. So I thought that

1087
01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:52.599
was really strong, and it's it's always cool when you

1088
01:02:52.679 --> 01:02:56.840
see the mentor mentoring the mentee and the mentors the

1089
01:02:56.920 --> 01:02:59.280
one who comes out of it changed.

1090
01:02:59.679 --> 01:02:59.880
You know.

1091
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:03.880
I always think that's a really cool dynamic when you

1092
01:03:03.960 --> 01:03:08.280
see that in different stories. So I dug that I

1093
01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:11.960
like Gwen. You know, Gwen is just like, if she

1094
01:03:12.039 --> 01:03:13.920
ain't a captain, I don't know what is man. This

1095
01:03:14.039 --> 01:03:16.159
girl is always like, you know what, we just need

1096
01:03:16.239 --> 01:03:18.119
to fix the captain and then that's going to fix

1097
01:03:18.159 --> 01:03:19.920
the whole scenario and then we can do the thing

1098
01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:22.199
that we need to do. She just she kind of

1099
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:24.960
always knows what to do and people just listen to

1100
01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:28.480
her too. So I appreciate her as a character quite

1101
01:03:28.480 --> 01:03:33.039
a bit and suspect that ultimately Dal probably functions better

1102
01:03:33.199 --> 01:03:37.320
as an executive officer and Gwen is probably the one

1103
01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:40.039
who actually, in the end, would make a better captain.

1104
01:03:40.119 --> 01:03:41.119
That's just my thoughts on that.

1105
01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:46.360
Adreak. We all loved him, but it did kind of

1106
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:50.000
remind me that, you know, this entire two episode arc

1107
01:03:50.039 --> 01:03:52.960
here and also the last arc that we went through,

1108
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:58.760
this is all like in an alternate timeline, right, because

1109
01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:01.599
if everything works out out the way that it's supposed

1110
01:04:01.639 --> 01:04:04.199
to work out, then they're gonna take the Protostar back

1111
01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:06.679
and they're going to be back on the original timeline

1112
01:04:07.239 --> 01:04:10.480
and all of the things that we see happening now

1113
01:04:12.159 --> 01:04:14.880
will not have happened or or you know, depending on

1114
01:04:14.960 --> 01:04:15.360
how they.

1115
01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:17.360
Saw so could be okay.

1116
01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:19.960
So I think in the end a drink is probably

1117
01:04:19.960 --> 01:04:23.119
gonna be okay because they're gonna they're gonna undo the

1118
01:04:23.199 --> 01:04:25.920
other timeline stuff. And so I predicted before the end

1119
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:29.199
of the season we see and alive and well a dreak,

1120
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:31.800
which would be kind of cool. You know, we saw

1121
01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:34.079
his dead body and then we also see him totally okay,

1122
01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:38.920
So it's a nice thing. We'll have to see if

1123
01:04:39.000 --> 01:04:42.280
I'm right on that. I did kind of like at

1124
01:04:42.280 --> 01:04:44.159
the end of that first episode where to Cota is like,

1125
01:04:44.199 --> 01:04:46.360
before this ship can fly first, it has to sale.

1126
01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:48.280
I was like, what are they gonna do here? And

1127
01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:51.159
then they talked about how what did they say? It

1128
01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:56.320
was a high density A high density cloud of something

1129
01:04:56.400 --> 01:05:01.559
of vapor. A high density Yeah, high density vapor. There, listen,

1130
01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:04.119
there are some fuzzy physics in this episode, but it

1131
01:05:04.239 --> 01:05:07.519
did not take me out of the moment too bad.

1132
01:05:07.559 --> 01:05:09.000
I mean, I'm the kind of guy who can definitely

1133
01:05:09.039 --> 01:05:10.639
get pulled out by the science a little bit, but

1134
01:05:10.719 --> 01:05:14.960
it's also Star Trek, and the storytelling was good enough

1135
01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:16.639
for me. I don't know how they've floated on a

1136
01:05:16.840 --> 01:05:19.280
cloud of high density vapor and didn't die when they

1137
01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:21.280
went into it and get crushed to death, but you know,

1138
01:05:21.960 --> 01:05:24.719
it doesn't really matter. This was a really cool story.

1139
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:27.519
I liked that the hull integrity was down to forty percent.

1140
01:05:27.719 --> 01:05:29.920
Anytime they get below fifty percent, I'm always like, oh,

1141
01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:32.880
oh shit, if my whole integrity was less than fifty,

1142
01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:36.920
I would not feel okay about what was happening.

1143
01:05:39.639 --> 01:05:39.800
You know.

1144
01:05:40.760 --> 01:05:43.400
Overall, let's see, Oh, I guess. The last thing that

1145
01:05:43.480 --> 01:05:45.599
I wanted to say was at the very end of

1146
01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:48.360
the last episode. There, you know, there's that line I

1147
01:05:48.400 --> 01:05:50.440
think somebody else mentioned it and they say, you know,

1148
01:05:50.559 --> 01:05:52.719
we just rebuilt a starship, so let's go build a

1149
01:05:52.840 --> 01:05:55.480
star That's a real kind of like go get them

1150
01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:58.280
kind of attitude. And I keep saying it every week.

1151
01:05:58.320 --> 01:06:00.519
But I feel like Star Trek Prodigy is doing great.

1152
01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:00.880
Job of.

1153
01:06:02.400 --> 01:06:05.519
Setting up the challenges and showing how the kids are

1154
01:06:05.639 --> 01:06:09.519
using you know, their brains and friendship to like make

1155
01:06:09.599 --> 01:06:13.239
things happen. I still think rock Talk is the star

1156
01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:15.559
of the science team. I mean, I kind of feel

1157
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:17.559
like they could do almost anything those few months that

1158
01:06:17.639 --> 01:06:20.760
she was alone learning stuff or however long. You know,

1159
01:06:20.840 --> 01:06:22.639
in that one episode where there was like the time

1160
01:06:22.719 --> 01:06:23.079
warp that.

1161
01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:23.440
She was in.

1162
01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:27.760
You know, she's smart as a whip. So I'm pretty

1163
01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:29.719
sure as long as she's on the team, they they're

1164
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:32.199
going to get out of any science y problems that

1165
01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:36.280
they get into. But I thoroughly enjoyed this. I definitely

1166
01:06:36.280 --> 01:06:38.559
am going to give the combination of these two episodes

1167
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:42.599
a nine. And I'm excited to see how we undo

1168
01:06:42.719 --> 01:06:45.440
it all in the end when the real timeline is

1169
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:50.880
restored prime line, the prime timeline.

1170
01:06:51.800 --> 01:06:57.639
Yeah, well, I'll bring up the cuboos here. I really

1171
01:06:57.760 --> 01:07:02.400
loved how at the very beginning when they when they

1172
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:06.880
get caught in the net. And I really love how

1173
01:07:07.360 --> 01:07:10.639
Jacob pog Is picks right up with the bird puns again,

1174
01:07:12.679 --> 01:07:16.920
just like he did in the last episode the Bird Brain,

1175
01:07:17.239 --> 01:07:20.400
and he's gone. You know, he has all these these

1176
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:23.480
crazy bird jokes that he's dropping at the very beginning

1177
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:26.880
of the episode. Uh, And I just was laughing, laugh

1178
01:07:26.960 --> 01:07:29.719
and laugh, and I thought, Wow, I just love Jacob.

1179
01:07:29.800 --> 01:07:32.480
He's got this great I just love him. And he's

1180
01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:34.639
making all these bird jokes, so I was like, wow,

1181
01:07:34.760 --> 01:07:39.519
I like that. I really also like how Zero, how

1182
01:07:39.639 --> 01:07:46.800
they're learning about their bodies and the different h you know,

1183
01:07:46.960 --> 01:07:51.039
at one point they say, my stomach feels the strange,

1184
01:07:51.159 --> 01:07:54.119
and the hair is on my neck are tingling and

1185
01:07:54.199 --> 01:07:58.119
different things like that, and how they're showing us how

1186
01:07:58.320 --> 01:08:03.400
Zero is getting used to the body that they're now in.

1187
01:08:03.639 --> 01:08:08.960
I thought that was good character development there. I really

1188
01:08:09.079 --> 01:08:12.719
really like I think Doal comes the furthest in this episode,

1189
01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:16.239
you know when he shows selflessness and he jumps into

1190
01:08:16.319 --> 01:08:21.560
the ouze to rescue Chakota, and I was like, wow,

1191
01:08:21.880 --> 01:08:26.079
that right there is a very powerful, powerful scene. I

1192
01:08:26.199 --> 01:08:32.119
am with Eric, though I don't understand how the ship

1193
01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:36.199
went from being marooned on the desert and stuck on

1194
01:08:36.319 --> 01:08:41.079
a rock to floating in gas. I missed that whole thing.

1195
01:08:41.159 --> 01:08:44.520
But it's Star Trek, and I don't understand how they

1196
01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:48.239
can walk around on the hull and this high density gas.

1197
01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:51.920
It kind of looked like the Mutara Nebula and walk

1198
01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:56.079
around and breathe up there and be okay. But it's

1199
01:08:56.159 --> 01:08:59.000
Star Trek, and I let it all slide because the

1200
01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:02.279
story was wonderful, but I'm kind of with Eric. I

1201
01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:08.680
missed that whole scientific explanation, but it wasn't enough to

1202
01:09:08.800 --> 01:09:11.680
make me say, you know, oh my god, they're wearing

1203
01:09:11.720 --> 01:09:14.159
electrical wires in the side of their helmets like we saw.

1204
01:09:14.920 --> 01:09:26.079
I can't believe that, dude. I spent ten years. I

1205
01:09:26.159 --> 01:09:29.079
spent ten years of my life hauling electrical wire around,

1206
01:09:31.119 --> 01:09:33.680
and when I see it aide of a star Trek helmet,

1207
01:09:33.760 --> 01:09:35.920
It's just like no, no, no.

1208
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:39.760
But anyway, I did.

1209
01:09:39.880 --> 01:09:42.680
I did enjoy the episode immensely, and I really liked

1210
01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:47.279
cota journey from the bitter, angry old man to the

1211
01:09:48.479 --> 01:09:52.079
captain that he he is, and I think the crew

1212
01:09:52.239 --> 01:09:56.920
helped him to get there. Uh and Janeway, Jane Janeway

1213
01:09:56.960 --> 01:10:00.479
wouldn't know them because the story that we I already

1214
01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:01.920
saw has it happened to her.

1215
01:10:02.680 --> 01:10:04.640
So this is what I will say. I didn't I

1216
01:10:04.720 --> 01:10:06.960
didn't mention that, but I think the sort of like

1217
01:10:07.079 --> 01:10:11.520
reuniting with Holograham Jane Way without Holograham Janeway having any

1218
01:10:11.600 --> 01:10:14.439
knowledge of them having had a previous relationship was kind

1219
01:10:14.479 --> 01:10:15.760
of a cool dynamic.

1220
01:10:17.479 --> 01:10:19.960
It was cool because the crew was all excited to

1221
01:10:20.039 --> 01:10:22.640
see her, but she didn't know who they were, and

1222
01:10:22.880 --> 01:10:25.520
Chakota didn't know, you know, like, how do you know

1223
01:10:25.640 --> 01:10:28.439
these people? Yeah, and so I thought I thought that

1224
01:10:28.560 --> 01:10:32.039
was neat, But but you're absolutely right. That's because when

1225
01:10:32.079 --> 01:10:36.279
they get stuck in the net, they've jumped ten years

1226
01:10:36.520 --> 01:10:39.880
into the future from where they were with Wesley. So

1227
01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:47.239
they're in an alternate, an.

1228
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:48.640
Alternate it's an alternate time well, I mean, depending on

1229
01:10:48.720 --> 01:10:50.760
how you define the universe and timeline. I think it's

1230
01:10:50.760 --> 01:10:54.960
an alternate timeline, much like the the Kelvin timelines movies are.

1231
01:10:55.159 --> 01:10:59.960
But yeah, yeah, non lifferen. Yeah, it's a different time

1232
01:11:00.239 --> 01:11:04.479
line than where they were. So this is why everything

1233
01:11:04.600 --> 01:11:06.680
is so different. And I think you're right. I think

1234
01:11:06.840 --> 01:11:09.840
a drink, a drink is dead in this timeline, but

1235
01:11:09.960 --> 01:11:13.000
when they go back and fix it, he won't be

1236
01:11:14.880 --> 01:11:19.600
I'll be fine, ok in the beginning, so he should

1237
01:11:19.680 --> 01:11:22.000
be back there with Jakot when they fix it. So

1238
01:11:22.520 --> 01:11:24.840
I think a drink will be fine in the end.

1239
01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:29.920
What else I thought, like Paul was saying, I thought

1240
01:11:29.960 --> 01:11:33.319
that that the the art the artistry in this episode,

1241
01:11:34.039 --> 01:11:39.840
uh Kotake scraping the eggs off the fish and getting

1242
01:11:39.880 --> 01:11:43.439
the fruit off the tree and making the little things

1243
01:11:43.560 --> 01:11:46.640
that he was eating there. Uh, the way they depicted

1244
01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:50.359
the planet, the Mutara Nebula like swirling as the ship

1245
01:11:50.399 --> 01:11:53.920
went around. I thought that the artwork was absolutely phenomenal.

1246
01:11:54.600 --> 01:12:00.159
It just it looked really, really good, and uh, you know,

1247
01:12:00.600 --> 01:12:03.439
I enjoyed it immensely these two part episodes. And I

1248
01:12:03.520 --> 01:12:06.159
think I'm gonna go with a I'm gonna go with

1249
01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:09.560
a nine point three. I gotta go with the point three.

1250
01:12:09.680 --> 01:12:15.199
Just I gotta go with the nine point three overall.

1251
01:12:16.680 --> 01:12:20.680
So with us and and Charles, what do we come

1252
01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:25.760
up with as a total, uh score for the Truk Spurts.

1253
01:12:26.279 --> 01:12:31.000
Well, we're just a little tiny bit above the public here.

1254
01:12:31.119 --> 01:12:34.159
The public gave it a nine and the truck Spurts

1255
01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:36.680
averaged out. Unless you want to go to the hundredth place,

1256
01:12:37.079 --> 01:12:38.880
We're gonna call it a nine point two.

1257
01:12:40.600 --> 01:12:42.840
Wow. And that's.

1258
01:12:44.600 --> 01:12:49.359
Oh, very respectable, quite respectable.

1259
01:12:50.439 --> 01:12:53.560
Nothing to shake a stick at that, for sure.

1260
01:12:56.119 --> 01:13:00.359
Did anyone else think that jenkom POGs line about that

1261
01:13:00.479 --> 01:13:04.359
whole gas thing was kind of funny? Oh yeah, this

1262
01:13:04.520 --> 01:13:11.279
is the only time that I've been happy. Yeah, I

1263
01:13:11.359 --> 01:13:13.960
mean that was all the jac and pug fart jokes

1264
01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:16.239
are thrown in there for the kids, I think, and

1265
01:13:16.279 --> 01:13:17.000
they're hilarious.

1266
01:13:17.239 --> 01:13:17.720
I love them.

1267
01:13:17.960 --> 01:13:20.840
Well he does pull my finger thing, I'll lose it.

1268
01:13:21.399 --> 01:13:23.920
Yeah, I mean, you know, the one thing I'll say,

1269
01:13:23.960 --> 01:13:25.279
the one thing that we didn't bring up in this

1270
01:13:25.359 --> 01:13:28.239
one was that Mogelle is a little cold to Zero

1271
01:13:28.600 --> 01:13:30.760
in this episode. So it seems to me that there's

1272
01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:34.560
a little bit of like trouble brewing there. And I'm

1273
01:13:34.640 --> 01:13:39.680
wondering if there's gonna be a like Mogelle, you know,

1274
01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:43.439
come to Jesus moment about Zero with Zero being in

1275
01:13:43.479 --> 01:13:46.239
a different body and there are some kind of drama

1276
01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:48.199
about that in the future. I don't know. That's another

1277
01:13:48.239 --> 01:13:48.840
prediction I have.

1278
01:13:50.600 --> 01:13:52.439
Well, I got to tell you guys, I reached out

1279
01:13:52.479 --> 01:13:55.560
to the actors that plays Magel and invited her on

1280
01:13:55.680 --> 01:13:59.239
the podcast. We'll see how that works out. I also

1281
01:13:59.319 --> 01:14:03.000
reached out to to UH Captain Angel Jesse, James Caitel

1282
01:14:03.840 --> 01:14:07.560
and and invited them on the podcast. And I've reached

1283
01:14:07.560 --> 01:14:09.960
out to Aaron walk see we can get him on

1284
01:14:10.039 --> 01:14:13.000
to talk about the season of Prodigy. So I got

1285
01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:15.640
a lot of pokers going in the in the fire

1286
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:19.039
and we'll see which ones come to fruition and which

1287
01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:23.439
ones don't. But because I just love Migell's character. I

1288
01:14:23.520 --> 01:14:26.560
think she's she's brilliant. She's kind of like to lend

1289
01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:31.439
on lower decks. You know, anytime they they throw a

1290
01:14:31.560 --> 01:14:33.960
vulcan in there, it seems to spice up the show,

1291
01:14:34.760 --> 01:14:42.399
you know, they spice it right up. All right, guys, Well, uh,

1292
01:14:42.640 --> 01:15:02.920
now it's time for our starts right birthdays. That was

1293
01:15:03.000 --> 01:15:06.399
not a clim O song. All right, guys. We always

1294
01:15:06.439 --> 01:15:10.600
start off our Star Trek birthday by remembering those members

1295
01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:14.119
of our Star Trek family who, sadly enough, are no

1296
01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:18.800
longer with us, and for that returned to Eric and Jin.

1297
01:15:18.880 --> 01:15:21.000
This week, we're going to remember four members of our

1298
01:15:21.039 --> 01:15:23.319
Star Trek community who have gone before us. The first

1299
01:15:23.520 --> 01:15:26.760
is actor Graham Jarvis. Graham Jarvis was the actor who

1300
01:15:26.840 --> 01:15:31.760
played Clim Dokatchen in The Next Generation fifth season episode

1301
01:15:32.359 --> 01:15:36.359
Unification One. Outside of Star Trek, Jarvis was a part

1302
01:15:36.439 --> 01:15:39.800
of numerous television series, being a regular on shows like

1303
01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:45.760
Mary Hartman from nineteen seventy six through nineteen seventy eight,

1304
01:15:45.880 --> 01:15:49.880
and then in the nineties, he planned a reoccurring role

1305
01:15:50.000 --> 01:15:53.119
in the computer game series known as The Journeyman Project

1306
01:15:53.640 --> 01:15:58.039
as doctor Elliott Sinclair, a couple other creds on his

1307
01:15:58.199 --> 01:16:00.720
IMDb page there you should check it out. We lost

1308
01:16:00.840 --> 01:16:03.640
him way back in two thousand and three. Happy birthday,

1309
01:16:03.680 --> 01:16:08.159
Graham Jarvis. Happy birthday as well to Georgia Schmidt. Georgia

1310
01:16:08.199 --> 01:16:11.239
Schmidt was the actress who played the first Telesion in

1311
01:16:11.399 --> 01:16:15.000
The Cage, of Course, which was the first pilot episode

1312
01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:18.880
of TOS. Footage of her appearance would later be used

1313
01:16:19.079 --> 01:16:23.800
in The Menagerie and The Menagerie Part two, of Course,

1314
01:16:23.840 --> 01:16:27.000
where they sort of replay that. Her additional television credits

1315
01:16:27.039 --> 01:16:29.039
include all sorts of stuff, from the Monkeys to the

1316
01:16:29.119 --> 01:16:31.479
Wild Wild West to the Odd Couple Back in the Day.

1317
01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:35.159
She also had some film roles, one in the House

1318
01:16:35.239 --> 01:16:39.680
of the Damned, one in The Andromeda Strain, and a

1319
01:16:39.720 --> 01:16:42.520
couple other movies along the way, Midnight Madness Going South,

1320
01:16:43.279 --> 01:16:46.239
that sort of thing. But that first Telesion that we

1321
01:16:46.319 --> 01:16:49.439
ever saw there. She is Georgia Schmidt. Happy birthday to

1322
01:16:49.520 --> 01:16:52.359
her lost back in nineteen ninety seven at the ripe

1323
01:16:52.439 --> 01:16:55.439
old age of ninety two years old. Happy birthday as

1324
01:16:55.479 --> 01:16:59.279
well to Janet McLachlan. She's the actress who played Charlene

1325
01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:03.239
Masters in the TOS first season episode The Alternative Factor.

1326
01:17:03.880 --> 01:17:08.840
Originally got her bachelor's degree in psychology and then started

1327
01:17:08.880 --> 01:17:12.520
studying acting at the Berghoff Acting Studios at the Little

1328
01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:15.640
Theater of Harlem. Made her debut in nineteen sixty five

1329
01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:19.119
on The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, and then went on to

1330
01:17:19.199 --> 01:17:24.119
do all sorts of stuff through the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties,

1331
01:17:24.239 --> 01:17:26.880
and even all the way up until the two thousands.

1332
01:17:27.680 --> 01:17:29.920
She eventually retired from acting in two thousand and two.

1333
01:17:30.039 --> 01:17:32.479
But you want to talk about a busy woman, she

1334
01:17:32.680 --> 01:17:35.000
was all over the place. She was even on some murder.

1335
01:17:35.119 --> 01:17:38.079
She wrote back in the Day with Robert Beltran speaking

1336
01:17:38.119 --> 01:17:42.399

01:25:40.760 --> 01:25:43.399
where we first met the Borg and that is just

1447
01:25:43.520 --> 01:25:49.039
a wonderful scene with Captain Picard, right, the worst nightmare

1448
01:25:49.119 --> 01:25:51.800
of any new person who's new in their job, right, yes,

1449
01:25:52.159 --> 01:25:58.640
and so it's all over me, so great, wonderful introduction

1450
01:25:58.720 --> 01:26:00.640
to a character. There is such a left her in

1451
01:26:00.720 --> 01:26:03.600
a very refreshing comedic moment for a star trek. But

1452
01:26:03.760 --> 01:26:06.479
lysian af is great. She's also showed up in the

1453
01:26:06.600 --> 01:26:11.399

1456
01:26:19.720 --> 01:26:22.119
half said, yeah, I'll come back and be Sony Gomez

01:26:22.159 --> 01:26:26.880

So but fans of.

1459
01:26:28.600 --> 01:26:33.279
Next Gen love Sony Gomez, and I would almost kind

1460
01:26:33.319 --> 01:26:34.920
of like, why you not a regular character?

1461
01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:36.640
I think that would have.

1462
01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:40.000
Been great, so really terrific and wonderful to be reminded

1463
01:26:40.119 --> 01:26:43.600
of that lovely performance. So Happy birthday, Lysi and a

1464
01:26:43.600 --> 01:26:45.840
half uncle Jim passing the Bazada user.

1465
01:26:46.039 --> 01:26:48.439
Well, I got to say that I remember her from

1466
01:26:49.000 --> 01:26:52.560
a big Arnold Schwarzenegger movie the nineties called Total Recall

1467
01:26:53.239 --> 01:26:57.239
as the three breasted woman in the bar. Do you

1468
01:26:57.359 --> 01:27:00.600
guys remember that scene? How it's her? That was her?

1469
01:27:01.720 --> 01:27:01.920
Yeah?

1470
01:27:03.760 --> 01:27:11.359
Interesting? Huh that was her? So yeah? Pretty cool? All right? Well,

1471
01:27:11.439 --> 01:27:15.560
my birthday list isn't quite as distinctive as everybody else is,

1472
01:27:15.920 --> 01:27:18.479
but I do have some good ones. I want to

1473
01:27:18.520 --> 01:27:23.159
start off by saying Happy birthday to Chris Pine, the

1474
01:27:23.279 --> 01:27:27.479
actor who plays James T. Kirk in the Kelvin Universe movies.

1475
01:27:27.560 --> 01:27:31.039
And I got to say I think that he was

1476
01:27:31.279 --> 01:27:36.479
great casting, and I keep hearing rumors of a fourth movie,

1477
01:27:37.319 --> 01:27:42.840
but it's been eight years since Star Trek Beyond, and

1478
01:27:44.319 --> 01:27:47.439
the longer it goes by, the less and less and

1479
01:27:47.600 --> 01:27:51.359
less likelihood it is that we will see them reprise

1480
01:27:51.479 --> 01:27:56.560
their roles, because Hollywood has any short memories, so maybe,

1481
01:27:56.800 --> 01:28:01.720
but I don't know. Happy birthday to Chris time. We

1482
01:28:01.840 --> 01:28:04.199
also want to say happy birthday to Ellen ware Greer.

1483
01:28:04.399 --> 01:28:07.920
She's the actress who played Kila Marr in Star Trek

1484
01:28:07.920 --> 01:28:11.560
the Next Generation's fifth season episode Silicone Avatar. So you

1485
01:28:11.640 --> 01:28:16.279
guys don't remember, she's the lady whose son was killed

1486
01:28:16.479 --> 01:28:20.960
by the Silicone Avatar and Data possesses the memories of

1487
01:28:21.119 --> 01:28:24.800
her son and she wants Data to pretend to be

1488
01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:29.279
her son. She kind of goes crazy, freaks out, and yeah,

1489
01:28:29.680 --> 01:28:32.600
it's not a pretty scene, but that was that episode.

1490
01:28:32.960 --> 01:28:37.840
Happy birthday to Ellen ware Greer. And last on my list,

1491
01:28:38.439 --> 01:28:42.800
we want to say happy birthday to Deborah van Vulcan Bird.

1492
01:28:44.319 --> 01:28:47.359
Before we get too far, I gotta say, because I'm

1493
01:28:47.439 --> 01:28:51.119
long on the tooth, the one movie that I remember

1494
01:28:51.199 --> 01:28:55.039
her from the most was the nineteen seventy nine movie

1495
01:28:55.479 --> 01:29:08.640
No Warriors, Wriors, Warriors. Heay. She she was the girlfriend

1496
01:29:09.560 --> 01:29:13.720
Mercy of Swan in that movie, and that's the movie

1497
01:29:13.880 --> 01:29:16.920
I remember her from. I love the Warriors. I love

1498
01:29:17.000 --> 01:29:20.680
that movie and I loved her in it. But but

1499
01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:23.600
we're not talking about non star Trek Roles here. We're

1500
01:29:23.640 --> 01:29:28.880
talking about star Trek Roles. And she played Detective Preston

1501
01:29:29.359 --> 01:29:32.880
and the Deep Space nine THURSD season episode Past Tense,

1502
01:29:33.000 --> 01:29:37.720
Part two, The Bell Riots, which were coming up on

1503
01:29:37.880 --> 01:29:40.119
pretty soon here, aren't we? Or did we?

1504
01:29:40.239 --> 01:29:41.039
Marry close now.

1505
01:29:43.880 --> 01:29:49.640
Today. Yeah, it's very close, Yeah, very very close to

1506
01:29:49.720 --> 01:29:55.560
the bell riots coming up here. So that's our birthdays

1507
01:29:55.880 --> 01:30:00.960
for the for the week. Hard to believe, huh, lots of.

1508
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:01.520
Good Get up.

1509
01:30:02.600 --> 01:30:04.520
We did it, We did it for sure. And now

1510
01:30:05.199 --> 01:30:08.319
it's time for some Star Trek news. I already one

1511
01:30:08.399 --> 01:30:11.279
message from Starfleet coming in on secure channels.

1512
01:30:12.159 --> 01:30:14.319
Incoming transmission enter.

1513
01:30:14.319 --> 01:30:17.720
Authorization code, command codes verified.

1514
01:30:18.680 --> 01:30:20.800
The fine parameters of program.

1515
01:30:21.279 --> 01:30:23.880
Level nine authorization required.

1516
01:30:23.560 --> 01:30:28.399
SETI fine parameters, Transfer updata is complete.

1517
01:30:33.039 --> 01:30:35.119
All right. So the first story that we're going to

1518
01:30:35.199 --> 01:30:37.800
start off with was a story I actually put in

1519
01:30:37.920 --> 01:30:41.079
the news for Eric last week, you know, along with

1520
01:30:41.199 --> 01:30:44.520
the with the Pulaski poll. But Eric wasn't here, so

1521
01:30:44.760 --> 01:30:48.000
I bumped this story up to this week when Eric

1522
01:30:48.119 --> 01:30:52.039
is going to be here, because Eric always does these stories.

1523
01:30:52.119 --> 01:30:54.239
So Eric, why don't you get us started?

1524
01:30:55.840 --> 01:30:59.359
You better believe it, Jim. This week we are continuing

1525
01:30:59.479 --> 01:31:03.119
our ongoing segment of Shatner says what and this one

1526
01:31:03.239 --> 01:31:06.640
says at the age of ninety three, William Shatner isn't

1527
01:31:06.720 --> 01:31:12.600
done making albums, not by a long shot. Captain Kirk

1528
01:31:12.760 --> 01:31:16.319
loves to make albums After a long hiatus. After the

1529
01:31:16.399 --> 01:31:20.720
release of the cult outsider music favorite The Transformed Man

1530
01:31:20.960 --> 01:31:24.960
in nineteen sixty eight. He recorded Has Been in two

1531
01:31:25.000 --> 01:31:27.960
thousand and four, an album that had an unexpected alt

1532
01:31:28.039 --> 01:31:31.840
rock radio hit with his cover of Pulse Common People.

1533
01:31:32.159 --> 01:31:36.720
William Shatner's music output has been prolific, especially since twenty eleven.

1534
01:31:36.760 --> 01:31:41.880
If you're counting, he now has a dozen albums. His

1535
01:31:42.039 --> 01:31:45.399
latest release was done in conjunction with Ben Folds, Yeah

1536
01:31:45.720 --> 01:31:49.119
of the ben Folds five, the producer of Has Been

1537
01:31:49.359 --> 01:31:53.239
and Marxi returned to something more orchestral. Shatner is no

1538
01:31:53.319 --> 01:31:55.239
stranger to performing this way. We can go back to

1539
01:31:55.279 --> 01:31:59.199
two thousand and eight for Exodus and Oratorio in Three

1540
01:31:59.279 --> 01:32:03.039
Parts recorded with the Arkansas Symphony. This time it's a

1541
01:32:03.119 --> 01:32:07.359
performance at the Kennedy Center recorded with the National Symphony Orchestra,

1542
01:32:07.560 --> 01:32:11.600
entitled So Fragile, So Blue. Also, as you know his

1543
01:32:11.760 --> 01:32:15.000
Falseth album. It's an album and I filmed it as well.

1544
01:32:15.720 --> 01:32:18.640
Note Shatner paid for the recording out of pocket. There's

1545
01:32:18.640 --> 01:32:21.880
a television documentary coming out too, said Shatner. I have

1546
01:32:21.960 --> 01:32:24.640
a book out there called Boldly Go, and I think

1547
01:32:24.760 --> 01:32:27.880
the theme is the universe is taking care of me,

1548
01:32:28.840 --> 01:32:31.920
strange things have happened. For example, I was doing an

1549
01:32:31.960 --> 01:32:34.640
event in upstate New York about five years ago. A

1550
01:32:34.680 --> 01:32:37.039
ten year old kid with an eye issue showed up.

1551
01:32:37.199 --> 01:32:41.119
Then five years later he appeared again. I told someone

1552
01:32:41.279 --> 01:32:44.079
I wish I knew the kid was coming, because there

1553
01:32:44.159 --> 01:32:45.760
was an eye doctor at one of the events some

1554
01:32:45.920 --> 01:32:51.640
time ago. If I only, if only, if I could only, maybe,

1555
01:32:51.840 --> 01:32:53.840
if could only put this doctor in this kid, If

1556
01:32:53.880 --> 01:32:55.600
I could only put this kid in this doctor together,

1557
01:32:55.960 --> 01:32:58.279
I know something magical would happen. I don't know what

1558
01:32:58.439 --> 01:33:01.000
his name is or where he is. I'm working on

1559
01:33:01.079 --> 01:33:04.119
an album now, so random there. I'm working on an

1560
01:33:04.199 --> 01:33:08.439
album now with Robert schaer Now and Brad Paisley. It's

1561
01:33:08.479 --> 01:33:11.399
about an idea of mine. It's not about romantic love.

1562
01:33:11.479 --> 01:33:14.640
It's about the strange things I love. For example, I

1563
01:33:14.800 --> 01:33:18.720
love my health because without my health you can't give love.

1564
01:33:19.439 --> 01:33:22.680
I love my nose because the sense of things remind

1565
01:33:22.760 --> 01:33:26.119
me of other things. It's things that lead to one

1566
01:33:26.359 --> 01:33:31.479
kind of love or another. Wow, that article was kind

1567
01:33:31.520 --> 01:33:34.279
of all over the place, which was really really fun.

1568
01:33:35.319 --> 01:33:37.359
But I will say that, you know, I mean, this

1569
01:33:37.479 --> 01:33:39.720
man's got a dozen albums and he just keeps doing

1570
01:33:39.800 --> 01:33:42.560
his thing. He just keeps shattering as hard as he

1571
01:33:42.640 --> 01:33:45.119
possibly can every single day. And I love it.

1572
01:33:45.399 --> 01:33:47.439
I love it, And I love the fact that he

1573
01:33:47.600 --> 01:33:48.439
loves his nose.

1574
01:33:50.239 --> 01:33:52.560
You know, if you're gonna love something, man, why not

1575
01:33:52.680 --> 01:33:54.680
the thing that you look at every single morning when

1576
01:33:54.720 --> 01:33:56.159
you look in the mirror and it's right there. Your

1577
01:33:56.199 --> 01:33:59.560
nose is right there. So yeah, you know, Bill, we

1578
01:33:59.640 --> 01:34:01.079
love those two brothers.

1579
01:34:02.720 --> 01:34:04.640
Their love for their nose. Before.

1580
01:34:05.039 --> 01:34:09.960
I mean, you know, I mean, what was this thing

1581
01:34:10.039 --> 01:34:11.520
with the kid with the eye in the middle of

1582
01:34:11.600 --> 01:34:13.720
this thing? It was so confusing and kind of like

1583
01:34:13.840 --> 01:34:16.560
at first I thought he was, yeah.

1584
01:34:16.600 --> 01:34:17.880
It makes no sense. I thought.

1585
01:34:17.960 --> 01:34:19.960
I thought, no, you know, I thought he was.

1586
01:34:19.960 --> 01:34:21.600
Going to be like there was going to be like

1587
01:34:21.640 --> 01:34:23.520
a Jesus moment there where he said, like the kid

1588
01:34:23.600 --> 01:34:25.560
came back five years later and all of a sudden

1589
01:34:25.560 --> 01:34:26.840
he was healed or something. I don't know.

1590
01:34:29.079 --> 01:34:30.680
It's just it's a shatnerism.

1591
01:34:31.439 --> 01:34:33.279
It's he says, what.

1592
01:34:33.680 --> 01:34:33.880
Yeah.

1593
01:34:34.359 --> 01:34:37.079
Also, I would say, because we were gym before we

1594
01:34:37.199 --> 01:34:39.520
move on, because we were just talking about it. The

1595
01:34:39.560 --> 01:34:45.640
Bell riots apparently occur on Sunday, so get ready get

1596
01:34:45.680 --> 01:34:49.399
ready for it. But day at September.

1597
01:34:49.439 --> 01:34:55.760
First, be prepared to hear a bunch of bells going

1598
01:34:55.800 --> 01:34:56.560
off at the same.

1599
01:34:56.399 --> 01:34:57.479
Time, ding ding ding.

1600
01:34:57.840 --> 01:34:59.920
The bells are riding. The bells are riding.

1601
01:35:01.319 --> 01:35:02.279
We can't be having that.

1602
01:35:03.640 --> 01:35:06.079
If I see every books being done in front of

1603
01:35:06.119 --> 01:35:09.119
my house, is gonna be I'm gonna like probably freak

1604
01:35:09.159 --> 01:35:09.800
out a little bit.

1605
01:35:10.319 --> 01:35:14.119
Yeah, it would, it would be. Yeah, you better get

1606
01:35:14.199 --> 01:35:15.000
him on the podcast.

1607
01:35:15.119 --> 01:35:18.479
Then, Oh my gosh, can you imagine if we landed him?

1608
01:35:18.600 --> 01:35:25.000
That would be like landing Yeah, La, it would be

1609
01:35:25.279 --> 01:35:27.479
almost that good, Jim almost.

1610
01:35:30.199 --> 01:35:33.760
And speaking of Lawrence Luckin, Bill Paul got our next stories.

1611
01:35:36.000 --> 01:35:39.760
That was a yeah, that was that was a very interesting,

1612
01:35:40.199 --> 01:35:45.359
very interesting segue. But you know, I I what am I?

1613
01:35:45.399 --> 01:35:48.479
Who am I to say? So let's go okay. Star

1614
01:35:48.600 --> 01:35:54.000
Trek Khan Seti Alpha five audio drama podcast is currently casting.

1615
01:35:55.720 --> 01:35:58.439
It was two years ago on Star Trek Day twenty

1616
01:35:58.600 --> 01:36:02.560
twenty two, math there that Star Trek two, The Wrath

1617
01:36:02.600 --> 01:36:07.840
of Khan and Star Trek six director Nicholas Meyer officially

1618
01:36:07.840 --> 01:36:11.239
announced a new audio drama titled Star Trek khn Seti

1619
01:36:11.239 --> 01:36:15.199
Alpha five. Originally developed as a streaming TV mini series,

1620
01:36:15.680 --> 01:36:19.439
the project had morphed into an official Paramount podcast series

1621
01:36:19.479 --> 01:36:22.119
set to examine what happened in the years after Captain

1622
01:36:22.159 --> 01:36:25.760
Girk left Kahn Noonian Singh on the Untamed world of

1623
01:36:25.880 --> 01:36:29.000
SETI Alpha five, telling the story of Khan and his

1624
01:36:29.159 --> 01:36:31.159
followers prior to the events of Star Trek to the

1625
01:36:31.159 --> 01:36:34.319
Wrath of Khan. According to Meyer, he had written three

1626
01:36:34.439 --> 01:36:37.359
one hour episode scripts for a TV mini series, and

1627
01:36:37.560 --> 01:36:41.680
those now form the nucleus of the audio drama podcast,

1628
01:36:41.960 --> 01:36:44.359
which he expects will end up being nine to ten

1629
01:36:44.439 --> 01:36:50.720
episodes in length. It started with suggestion made by Alex Kurtzman.

1630
01:36:51.079 --> 01:36:52.880
We were sitting in a deli and he said, whatever

1631
01:36:52.920 --> 01:36:55.760
happened to Corn on SETI Alpha five? And I suddenly

1632
01:36:55.840 --> 01:36:58.800
remembered that exchange and Citizen King between Kin and Boss

1633
01:36:58.840 --> 01:37:02.079
Guetty's and Getty says to Kine, you know, if it

1634
01:37:02.159 --> 01:37:05.239
were anyone else, I'd say that what just happened to

1635
01:37:05.279 --> 01:37:07.640
you would be a lesson. But you're going to need

1636
01:37:07.720 --> 01:37:10.159
more than one lesson, and you're gonna get more than

1637
01:37:10.239 --> 01:37:13.520
one lesson. Oh good, references in't Kenny there? So this

1638
01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:15.920
is about con discovering that there are more things in

1639
01:37:16.000 --> 01:37:18.279
heaven than SETI Alpha five that were dreamt of in

1640
01:37:18.399 --> 01:37:23.560
his philosophy shameless Hamlet reference, and it's now how he

1641
01:37:23.720 --> 01:37:27.199
copes In Cete Alpha five con is the hero Ba

1642
01:37:27.359 --> 01:37:29.880
Seed original series, Kirk said to him, you think the

1643
01:37:30.000 --> 01:37:32.479
genetically engineered man is the measure of all things, I'll

1644
01:37:32.520 --> 01:37:34.920
give you a chance to prove it. I'll put you

1645
01:37:35.000 --> 01:37:36.920
on an Eden like planet and let's see if you

1646
01:37:36.960 --> 01:37:39.359
can build your own utopia as you claim that you're

1647
01:37:39.439 --> 01:37:41.760
able to. By the end of the story, I wanted

1648
01:37:41.800 --> 01:37:44.079
people to weep for this man, and I hope you'll

1649
01:37:44.359 --> 01:37:47.520
understand where he's coming from and what his destiny is

1650
01:37:47.880 --> 01:37:51.000
and why it is. There are no details available on

1651
01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:54.239
how Paramount plans to distribute the audio drama podcasts, nor

1652
01:37:54.479 --> 01:37:57.680
is there a release date as of yet. However, it

1653
01:37:57.760 --> 01:38:01.840
occurs to me Uncle Jim that given that we're talking

1654
01:38:01.880 --> 01:38:04.640
about a potential podcast here right, an audio drama, and

1655
01:38:04.760 --> 01:38:07.159
we're a podcast and some of us in the show

1656
01:38:07.199 --> 01:38:09.800
are incredible fans of Nicholas Meyer because he is an

1657
01:38:09.920 --> 01:38:14.359
absolutely legendary director, because he directed from my money, what

1658
01:38:14.479 --> 01:38:17.279
he'll probably always stand is two of the greatest Star

1659
01:38:17.359 --> 01:38:20.560
Trek Future films ever, Ratho Khan and Star Trek six,

1660
01:38:22.279 --> 01:38:24.159
which we just saw Eric am I right, one of

1661
01:38:24.199 --> 01:38:25.000
the greatest movies ever.

1662
01:38:25.920 --> 01:38:27.479
It's my favorite of the original movies.

1663
01:38:28.800 --> 01:38:29.159
Thank you.

1664
01:38:29.479 --> 01:38:34.000
I appreciate that vote of confidence very very much. I mean, amazing, dude.

1665
01:38:34.039 --> 01:38:36.720
He also directed one of my favorite movies of all

1666
01:38:36.840 --> 01:38:42.239
time ever, Time after Time. Okay, the great HG. Wells

1667
01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:45.239
Jack the Ripper thriller from back in the day, but

1668
01:38:45.439 --> 01:38:48.800
a really terrific movie. So let's get Nicholas Meyer on

1669
01:38:48.920 --> 01:38:51.880
the podcast, right, I mean, I don't know that he's like,

1670
01:38:52.359 --> 01:38:54.800
I mean, that would be incredible. The stories this guy's got.

1671
01:38:55.119 --> 01:38:57.640
And he's just very literary. He's very smart. He's not

1672
01:38:57.920 --> 01:39:01.920
like Eschnorer, right, He's very clever individual. He's made some

1673
01:39:02.119 --> 01:39:05.680
amazing motion pictures. He's a great writer, right, I mean,

1674
01:39:05.840 --> 01:39:11.239
really terrific writer. Done a ton of great uh directing

1675
01:39:11.319 --> 01:39:14.000
in his lifetime. Beyond the Star Trek Universe as well.

1676
01:39:14.199 --> 01:39:17.880
What you get he'd be You remember back in the eighties, guys,

1677
01:39:18.319 --> 01:39:20.840
some of us, I know you You probably remember Uncle Jill.

1678
01:39:20.840 --> 01:39:23.439
You remember the Day after the Nuclear War movie.

1679
01:39:24.079 --> 01:39:25.960
That movie scared the crap out of me. When I

1680
01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:26.319
was a kid.

1681
01:39:26.399 --> 01:39:29.079
Basically the entire country watched that movie. Okay, it was.

1682
01:39:31.159 --> 01:39:33.199
It's like, no, this is like a TV drama and

1683
01:39:33.319 --> 01:39:36.319
it's the one where like the people get nuclear annihilated

1684
01:39:36.359 --> 01:39:38.119
while hanging on to the fence, and it just is

1685
01:39:38.199 --> 01:39:40.199
like an image that scarred me for like what.

1686
01:39:40.239 --> 01:39:42.199
Would happen if if you were a resident of a

1687
01:39:42.279 --> 01:39:44.960
small town and nuclear holocaust happened? Right? I mean it

1688
01:39:45.079 --> 01:39:48.800
was just the entire country watched it anyhow, Nicholas Meyer,

1689
01:39:49.920 --> 01:39:52.640
he's your director. Okay, So this is a guy who's

1690
01:39:52.720 --> 01:39:55.319
you know, really left an indelible mark and he's not

1691
01:39:55.560 --> 01:39:58.520
directed a ton He's really more of a writer, right,

1692
01:39:58.680 --> 01:40:02.039
but when he does direct, this usually something pretty special.

1693
01:40:02.159 --> 01:40:04.359
And he's just he's a living legend. I would love

1694
01:40:04.439 --> 01:40:06.520
to speak with him while he's still with us and

1695
01:40:06.680 --> 01:40:10.039
not you know, regret that we didn't after he's gone.

1696
01:40:10.199 --> 01:40:11.600
So you know, we we got a little extra time

1697
01:40:11.680 --> 01:40:14.640
on the news today. I'm just gonna lobby for that.

1698
01:40:15.159 --> 01:40:19.479
He also wrote The Voyage Home Star Trek four as well, so,

1699
01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:24.560
you know, really a tremendous individual and a big Sherlock

1700
01:40:24.640 --> 01:40:27.479
Holmes aficionado, if my information is correct. So I would

1701
01:40:27.640 --> 01:40:31.800
absolutely love to suggest that he's gonna want to promote

1702
01:40:31.800 --> 01:40:34.279
this thing, right and it's a cool idea. Con is

1703
01:40:34.279 --> 01:40:38.000
a hero, right, the untold story of STEADI Alpha, it's

1704
01:40:38.000 --> 01:40:39.520
a great idea. I would love to hear his his

1705
01:40:39.680 --> 01:40:43.520
take on that. So that's my that's my thing. I

1706
01:40:43.600 --> 01:40:46.920
think it would be just a knockout. Get So let's

1707
01:40:47.000 --> 01:40:47.920
let's see if he's around.

1708
01:40:49.000 --> 01:40:53.319
Oh, I gotta tell you quite quite quite a long

1709
01:40:53.479 --> 01:40:58.680
time ago in a galaxy far far away. H Nicholas

1710
01:40:58.760 --> 01:41:01.920
Meyer's Time after Time as a Sherlock Holmes book, right,

1711
01:41:02.960 --> 01:41:08.560
and he was down in Bennington, Vermont at the Benning HG. Well, HD, Well,

1712
01:41:09.640 --> 01:41:15.319
but didn't he write didn't he write a Sherlock Holmes book? Well?

1713
01:41:15.439 --> 01:41:20.119
He did actually, but it's like it's the he originally

1714
01:41:20.159 --> 01:41:23.520
wrote the what is it? The seven percent solution? Isn't

1715
01:41:23.560 --> 01:41:24.079
that what he wrote?

1716
01:41:24.199 --> 01:41:27.319
That's it? That's it. That's it. And he was down

1717
01:41:27.560 --> 01:41:30.680
at the Bennington College in Vermont promoting this new Sherlock

1718
01:41:30.760 --> 01:41:34.159
Holmes book at a Sherlock Holmes convention.

1719
01:41:34.880 --> 01:41:37.520
Oh cool. Yeah, that was like nineteen seventy six or

1720
01:41:37.560 --> 01:41:42.159
something like that, right, it was a long Alan Robert Davall, Yeah.

1721
01:41:43.039 --> 01:41:46.039
Yeah, it was. It was. It was after Star Trek

1722
01:41:46.199 --> 01:41:50.479
six when this a when it the convention happened. Oh okay,

1723
01:41:50.520 --> 01:41:55.640
and me and my wife, well she wasn't my wife

1724
01:41:55.720 --> 01:41:58.399
at the time, we were engaged, and some friends got

1725
01:41:58.479 --> 01:42:01.079
in our car. We lived out in Albany, and we

1726
01:42:01.239 --> 01:42:05.279
drove up to Bennington, Vermont to this event just to

1727
01:42:05.359 --> 01:42:07.960
see Nicholas Meyer and have him sign a Star Trek

1728
01:42:08.039 --> 01:42:12.119
six poster. And we waited online and we got up

1729
01:42:12.159 --> 01:42:15.800
there and he says to me that Star Trek follows

1730
01:42:15.880 --> 01:42:21.159
him everywhere. Everywhere he goes, Star Trek comes up and

1731
01:42:21.479 --> 01:42:23.720
here we are at a doctor at a Sherlock Holmes

1732
01:42:23.800 --> 01:42:27.880
convention talking about Star Trek and he he was a

1733
01:42:27.920 --> 01:42:31.199
pretty cool guy. He signed my poster for me and stuff,

1734
01:42:31.239 --> 01:42:34.000
and I thought he was pretty cool. And he said,

1735
01:42:34.039 --> 01:42:36.159
Star Trek follows him everywhere.

1736
01:42:36.560 --> 01:42:38.800
But dude, what a great topic, right, because it's like

1737
01:42:38.920 --> 01:42:41.000
now we can ask him, Hey, Nicholas Meyer, what did

1738
01:42:41.039 --> 01:42:43.119
you think of what they did with Sherlock Holmes on

1739
01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:44.239
Star Trek the Next.

1740
01:42:44.119 --> 01:42:46.079
Generation with the Moriarity exactly?

1741
01:42:46.479 --> 01:42:49.319
You know he's seen those episodes, right, you know, he's

1742
01:42:49.359 --> 01:42:52.439
got an opinion about them. He would probably love to

1743
01:42:52.560 --> 01:42:56.239
dig into that because he's a freaking homes aficionado, right,

1744
01:42:56.439 --> 01:42:58.960
I mean, it's just that it's like, I mean, we

1745
01:42:59.039 --> 01:43:01.199
could kill two hours is in like five minutes with

1746
01:43:01.279 --> 01:43:03.640
this guy. I mean he is also in our sweet

1747
01:43:03.680 --> 01:43:05.880
spot as far as what he knows. And you've met

1748
01:43:05.960 --> 01:43:08.039
him once previously, say you have a great story. So

1749
01:43:08.159 --> 01:43:11.640
it's just like great, So I want to have a

1750
01:43:11.760 --> 01:43:17.760
living legend, living legend. Do you think that Paramount missed

1751
01:43:17.960 --> 01:43:23.640
the boat on this because I feel that they blew

1752
01:43:23.720 --> 01:43:26.840
it big time because right if he wrote a three

1753
01:43:26.920 --> 01:43:31.119
hour script, why would you make it a podcast when

1754
01:43:31.119 --> 01:43:34.079
they can make it a movie like they're doing Section thirty.

1755
01:43:33.840 --> 01:43:37.800
One and give us a con movie of the week

1756
01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:41.720
and instead of audio drama. Don't you think.

1757
01:43:44.159 --> 01:43:44.720
So it cracks?

1758
01:43:46.840 --> 01:43:51.720
You know, No, I'm with you because it's just it's well,

1759
01:43:51.760 --> 01:43:55.439
obviously he loves it. He must mean Meyer must think

1760
01:43:55.560 --> 01:43:58.439
really fondly of the script and the story because he

1761
01:43:58.479 --> 01:44:02.439
didn't just go okay like every other movie that Paramounts

1762
01:44:02.520 --> 01:44:05.039
tried to do, like the Quentin Tarantino star Trek and

1763
01:44:05.239 --> 01:44:09.399
like you know, the you know George Kirk prequel thing

1764
01:44:09.920 --> 01:44:12.279
that they tried to do, right, all that stuff. They

1765
01:44:12.479 --> 01:44:14.920
just can't get their shit together and they've been trying to,

1766
01:44:15.039 --> 01:44:16.760
like you like you were just saying, to try to

1767
01:44:16.840 --> 01:44:19.960
do another you know Chris Pine track. They can't get

1768
01:44:20.000 --> 01:44:22.640
it organized. They're just everyone's yelling and arguing and they

1769
01:44:22.680 --> 01:44:25.680
can't decide and they can't commit. And you know a

1770
01:44:25.760 --> 01:44:28.039
lot of people would just you know, their project gets

1771
01:44:28.039 --> 01:44:30.319
abandoned and they just drop and say, well, I guess,

1772
01:44:30.720 --> 01:44:32.880
you know, onto the next thing. But he must really

1773
01:44:33.079 --> 01:44:35.680
think that these are great stories, and they sound like

1774
01:44:35.760 --> 01:44:39.039
great stories because he's determined to tell them, even if

1775
01:44:39.079 --> 01:44:41.159
he has to jump into a different format, right, and

1776
01:44:41.319 --> 01:44:44.000
when there's less of the fictions and television, so to me,

1777
01:44:44.119 --> 01:44:46.039
that released to his character and the strength of the

1778
01:44:46.079 --> 01:44:48.439
writing that must be in these stories, right, I want it.

1779
01:44:48.600 --> 01:44:51.039
It's a great idea. I mean, come on, it's just

1780
01:44:51.119 --> 01:44:53.399
just you know, you kind of wonder why they didn't

1781
01:44:53.720 --> 01:44:56.079
do that instead of Rathicon, right, because it's such a

1782
01:44:56.159 --> 01:44:59.079
cool idea. So, I mean I would have to see.

1783
01:45:00.039 --> 01:45:04.520
Good goal to start Trek four, start Trek fix. Yeah.

1784
01:45:04.600 --> 01:45:07.600
He's a smart dude, very literary guy. Right, So it's

1785
01:45:07.640 --> 01:45:09.680
just with his you know, I mean he you know,

1786
01:45:09.840 --> 01:45:12.439
with his love of Holmes, his love of H. G. Wells,

1787
01:45:12.520 --> 01:45:15.600
his love of good thrillers, his love of good literary references,

1788
01:45:15.760 --> 01:45:18.920
and you know that he's gonna, you know, knock it

1789
01:45:18.960 --> 01:45:21.439
out of the park that write a literary bunch of

1790
01:45:21.520 --> 01:45:24.199
I wonder if he's are available online anywhere. I'm gonna

1791
01:45:24.199 --> 01:45:25.399
have to do a little looking and see.

1792
01:45:25.279 --> 01:45:26.039
If I can find them.

1793
01:45:26.600 --> 01:45:28.199
Probably right now.

1794
01:45:28.680 --> 01:45:31.640
Well, I hope he is, because it's again, it's just like,

1795
01:45:31.760 --> 01:45:33.479
I mean, that's a guy that you could, you know,

1796
01:45:34.119 --> 01:45:36.319
never stop talking to because he just knows so much

1797
01:45:36.399 --> 01:45:39.279
and he's just with what the stuff he's attracted to.

1798
01:45:39.479 --> 01:45:42.720
You know that he's just like super versed in the classics. Man.

1799
01:45:42.760 --> 01:45:44.399
I'd love to get that guy on. I'd just love

1800
01:45:44.439 --> 01:45:45.960
to sit in the bar with him and let him talk,

1801
01:45:46.399 --> 01:45:46.560
you know.

1802
01:45:46.840 --> 01:45:49.600
I mean, all right, well and well, and I guess

1803
01:45:49.960 --> 01:45:52.439
what I'll say is that I although I do think

1804
01:45:52.479 --> 01:45:55.239
that this thing could be right for the screen, h

1805
01:45:55.520 --> 01:45:57.960
I'm actually kind of glad that it's going to happen here.

1806
01:45:58.159 --> 01:46:00.520
I think is an audio drama. I think that this

1807
01:46:00.720 --> 01:46:04.960
is a genre that a lot of people are just

1808
01:46:05.079 --> 01:46:07.079
kind of like stepping into a little bit more. I

1809
01:46:07.119 --> 01:46:10.680
think people are returning a little bit to the audio

1810
01:46:10.800 --> 01:46:13.399
drama thing, as we you know, spend so much time

1811
01:46:13.479 --> 01:46:15.720
in our cars driving from place to place. So I

1812
01:46:15.840 --> 01:46:17.680
know a lot of people that I know listen to

1813
01:46:17.760 --> 01:46:21.520
audiobooks or listen to audio dramas and that kind of stuff,

1814
01:46:21.520 --> 01:46:27.720
and I suspect that they couldn't. I mean, this is

1815
01:46:27.840 --> 01:46:30.560
pure conjecture, but I'm going to say that they probably

1816
01:46:30.600 --> 01:46:34.520
couldn't get people to bite on this for television, mostly

1817
01:46:34.680 --> 01:46:39.359
because it takes casting, it takes a lot more money,

1818
01:46:40.000 --> 01:46:43.000
and it's a story that kind of fits into some

1819
01:46:43.279 --> 01:46:48.479
old Star Trek stuff, you know, Star Trek. Strange New

1820
01:46:48.520 --> 01:46:51.800
World right now is doing what it can to become

1821
01:46:52.119 --> 01:46:56.680
as adjacent to TOS as possible without stepping on Tos's toes,

1822
01:46:56.800 --> 01:46:59.520
you know, introducing characters like James Kirk and hat sort

1823
01:46:59.560 --> 01:47:02.920
of stuff in two Strange New worlds. I think introducing

1824
01:47:03.039 --> 01:47:06.760
Con into the screen world too might might just be

1825
01:47:06.840 --> 01:47:08.560
a little bit too much. So I don't know. I

1826
01:47:08.640 --> 01:47:12.399
kind of feel good that it's a potential audio drama here.

1827
01:47:12.399 --> 01:47:13.920
I feel like that might be a good way to

1828
01:47:14.079 --> 01:47:16.840
enjoy it. I do know that I completely enjoyed the

1829
01:47:18.439 --> 01:47:20.880
There were some comics, like there was one called uh

1830
01:47:21.640 --> 01:47:25.600
Raining in Hell that was all about Con while he

1831
01:47:25.800 --> 01:47:27.720
was ruling on SETI Alpha five.

1832
01:47:27.840 --> 01:47:30.239
So oh, man, I forgot all about that.

1833
01:47:30.800 --> 01:47:32.680
Yeah, it'd be cool if they like brought some of

1834
01:47:32.720 --> 01:47:33.239
that stuff in.

1835
01:47:34.520 --> 01:47:38.239
Yeah, but this was written by himself. This isn't a

1836
01:47:38.359 --> 01:47:42.079
comic book. This is written by Nicholas Meyer, the guy

1837
01:47:42.159 --> 01:47:44.279
that wrote The Wrath of con So he's got a

1838
01:47:44.319 --> 01:47:45.000
lot of insight.

1839
01:47:46.039 --> 01:47:48.840
But at any rate, Yeah, I wonder who they'll cast,

1840
01:47:48.840 --> 01:47:50.600
because even if it's a voice thing, right, I mean

1841
01:47:50.640 --> 01:47:53.560
intimidating to fill the shoes of you know, Ricardo, right,

1842
01:47:53.640 --> 01:47:55.720
I mean, it's just like it's a that's a maybe

1843
01:47:55.760 --> 01:47:58.920
that's one of the reasons that you know, it got

1844
01:47:58.960 --> 01:48:01.760
stuck in development health for the longest because honey, honey, you.

1845
01:48:02.079 --> 01:48:06.199
Know cumber they would use cumber Batch.

1846
01:48:06.560 --> 01:48:13.359
No, oh, go away, no, No, that's I think they're

1847
01:48:13.479 --> 01:48:14.840
still trying to undo that one.

1848
01:48:14.920 --> 01:48:15.119
Man.

1849
01:48:15.359 --> 01:48:18.359
I'm uh you know, I mean that that. I don't

1850
01:48:18.359 --> 01:48:21.119
think anybody thinks that that was a great, uh you know,

1851
01:48:21.840 --> 01:48:24.039
a great move. I think that was a real kind

1852
01:48:24.039 --> 01:48:26.560
of ham fisted bit of casting. You know, I'd rather

1853
01:48:26.600 --> 01:48:29.920
see Pedro Pascal, right, I mean, if you're gonna, you know,

1854
01:48:30.399 --> 01:48:33.279
find somebody who can be a con right, somebody who

1855
01:48:33.279 --> 01:48:36.079
can really step up, you know, and and really be

1856
01:48:36.479 --> 01:48:40.920
you know, I mean it calls for something, you know, frankly, Okay,

1857
01:48:41.039 --> 01:48:43.079
I don't know if you know these movies, right, you're

1858
01:48:43.119 --> 01:48:46.079
gonna get me on a whole fucking sorry about that,

1859
01:48:46.319 --> 01:48:49.680
a whole tangent. But you guys watch any Bollywood movies.

1860
01:48:50.319 --> 01:48:54.279
Yeah, you talk about Shower, kN talking about I'm talking

1861
01:48:54.319 --> 01:48:57.199
about because that's why I thought.

1862
01:48:57.520 --> 01:48:59.239
There's some great stuff. And I don't know if I

1863
01:48:59.279 --> 01:49:01.600
got the name right, but but Khan's an Indian guy, right,

1864
01:49:01.760 --> 01:49:05.399
I mean he was you know, a character, right, Yeah,

1865
01:49:06.119 --> 01:49:09.720
so gast an Indian guy. There's an amazing picture, okay,

1866
01:49:09.920 --> 01:49:14.159
a really great uh picture? Girl r r r Yeah, Okay,

1867
01:49:14.439 --> 01:49:16.000
it's really great. I don't know if you've seen it,

1868
01:49:16.159 --> 01:49:16.520
Eric or not.

1869
01:49:16.800 --> 01:49:17.920
I have seen it all.

1870
01:49:19.279 --> 01:49:22.600
Yeah, yeah, but there's all kinds of just super awesome.

1871
01:49:22.600 --> 01:49:24.279
It stands for a rise Roara Revolt.

1872
01:49:24.359 --> 01:49:24.479
Right.

1873
01:49:24.560 --> 01:49:27.119
It's an amazing picture. I mean it's really it's just

1874
01:49:27.279 --> 01:49:30.840
a knockout hybrid of like action movie and musical. It's

1875
01:49:30.920 --> 01:49:35.199
just incredible. But there's some really amazing Indian actors in there,

1876
01:49:35.399 --> 01:49:39.439
like a Jay of Venkata's in there, ram Aluri. I mean,

1877
01:49:39.720 --> 01:49:42.199
just really astonishing dudes.

1878
01:49:42.439 --> 01:49:42.560
Right.

1879
01:49:42.720 --> 01:49:44.560
Ray Stevenson's in it too. I mean the guy who

1880
01:49:44.600 --> 01:49:47.800
passed away from Ahsoka, he's in there as well. I mean,

1881
01:49:47.840 --> 01:49:50.359
it's just an incredible picture. But it's just like it's

1882
01:49:50.479 --> 01:49:52.560
that's what we should be doing, is we should stop,

1883
01:49:52.640 --> 01:49:55.399
you know, whitewashing these things right and casting not the

1884
01:49:55.479 --> 01:49:58.159
wrong ethnicities for things. We should get an Indian actor

1885
01:49:58.600 --> 01:50:01.399
to finally embody on the way he's supposed to be done.

1886
01:50:01.479 --> 01:50:03.399
So sorry, Nicholas, my I went off on a tangent

1887
01:50:03.479 --> 01:50:05.279
on you there, dude. Then you're not even on the

1888
01:50:05.319 --> 01:50:08.119
show yet, But it's I would love to see them

1889
01:50:08.239 --> 01:50:12.359
guest somebody like that who really brings like authenticity to

1890
01:50:12.800 --> 01:50:15.840
uh to a con story and and dig deep. Man,

1891
01:50:16.039 --> 01:50:17.479
So what do you think of that idea?

1892
01:50:17.600 --> 01:50:17.720
Eric?

1893
01:50:19.079 --> 01:50:21.439
Oh yeah, I've been calling that for that for years

1894
01:50:21.479 --> 01:50:24.520
and I we got the kid, the Indian kid in

1895
01:50:26.039 --> 01:50:26.600
was that the change?

1896
01:50:28.079 --> 01:50:28.319
Yeah?

1897
01:50:28.840 --> 01:50:32.079
So we finally got like an Indian actor playing at

1898
01:50:32.159 --> 01:50:36.359
least a young version of Con But yeah, I man,

1899
01:50:37.399 --> 01:50:39.680
don't get me started on Benedict Loved to death.

1900
01:50:39.760 --> 01:50:42.760
But yeah, that was just it was you know, you

1901
01:50:42.840 --> 01:50:45.000
know what they say about good intentions, right, I mean,

1902
01:50:45.079 --> 01:50:47.840
this is yeah, oh boy, Yeah that that that just

1903
01:50:48.000 --> 01:50:51.920
didn't I'm a big Benedict company. Yeah, I love the guy,

1904
01:50:52.039 --> 01:50:54.319
but man, that was just like, you know, it's just

1905
01:50:54.439 --> 01:50:58.359
like I love you know, I love baked beans and

1906
01:50:58.479 --> 01:51:00.960
I love red wine. But I don't you're putting you know,

1907
01:51:01.279 --> 01:51:03.079
baked beans and my red wine. I mean it's just

1908
01:51:03.239 --> 01:51:06.239
you know, it's no, no, no, And it just was

1909
01:51:06.359 --> 01:51:10.520
just not just like David's.

1910
01:51:10.159 --> 01:51:12.479
Like eighteen and red wine. Don't.

1911
01:51:12.479 --> 01:51:19.479
It's donut me. So yeah, so interesting. This certainly got

1912
01:51:19.600 --> 01:51:21.640
us talking, man, But I love it when we just

1913
01:51:21.720 --> 01:51:24.640
kind of start, you know, get turned on by a

1914
01:51:24.760 --> 01:51:26.960
topic and we just kind of decide to you know,

1915
01:51:27.039 --> 01:51:31.279
make it into like a topic. But man, wow, sorry,

1916
01:51:31.359 --> 01:51:34.720
I got all excited there about Nicholas Meyer and Khan,

1917
01:51:34.960 --> 01:51:37.159
so shut me up. Please love it.

1918
01:51:38.159 --> 01:51:40.439
Well. I mean, you know, you've got a lot of

1919
01:51:40.520 --> 01:51:44.359
great characters that we know, you got Molar mcgivers. They

1920
01:51:44.439 --> 01:51:48.960
have to cast her as well, and uh, you know

1921
01:51:49.159 --> 01:51:55.720
Laura Banks, his navigator Joaquin as well. I mean, so

1922
01:51:55.920 --> 01:51:57.840
there's a lot of characters that they can draw from

1923
01:51:59.000 --> 01:52:04.399
in this. You know, I just I don't know, I think, yeah,

1924
01:52:04.399 --> 01:52:07.000
we'll have to wait and see. So Let's see what

1925
01:52:07.079 --> 01:52:09.760
do we got left seven minutes, David, we got time.

1926
01:52:09.560 --> 01:52:12.880
For another story, probably way of a podcast.

1927
01:52:13.840 --> 01:52:17.920
All right, give it a shot, a slow mo.

1928
01:52:18.159 --> 01:52:21.039
Here we go. So Sam Richardson told us a big

1929
01:52:21.680 --> 01:52:24.960
the big way Star Trek Section thirty one differed from

1930
01:52:25.000 --> 01:52:30.159
the franchise shows, and it totally makes sense. Self profess

1931
01:52:30.840 --> 01:52:34.399
I assue me, self professed Star Trek fan, Emmy Emmy

1932
01:52:34.479 --> 01:52:38.479
winner and comedian Sam Richardson will be in section thirty

1933
01:52:38.520 --> 01:52:44.840
one playing the first tram Camelloyd Caameloyd seen on screen

1934
01:52:45.000 --> 01:52:50.880
since Star Trek six, he undiscovered country. The actor dropped

1935
01:52:50.920 --> 01:52:55.039
the key reviewal, which is obvious in hindsight, giving the

1936
01:52:55.199 --> 01:52:58.880
big personalities we see throughout the footage. What kind of

1937
01:52:59.000 --> 01:53:04.119
difference about what kind of different about section thirty one is,

1938
01:53:04.880 --> 01:53:08.520
you know, the other iterations of Star Trek very naval.

1939
01:53:10.680 --> 01:53:15.159
It's a ship that has a hierarchy, protocol and train

1940
01:53:15.239 --> 01:53:21.680
of command, whereas this ragtag bunch they have all these things,

1941
01:53:21.920 --> 01:53:26.359
but it's a little bit mukier and so a lot

1942
01:53:27.600 --> 01:53:37.199
a lot of too okay that word. Let us kind

1943
01:53:37.279 --> 01:53:40.560
of play with that and improvise a little bit while

1944
01:53:40.720 --> 01:53:45.119
still sticking to a very brilliant script, but everything can

1945
01:53:45.279 --> 01:53:49.680
be a little dirtier. Section thirty one is the shadow

1946
01:53:49.760 --> 01:53:53.359
ops division of Starfleets, and while traditional Starfleet members here

1947
01:53:53.520 --> 01:53:58.039
whispers of existence of its existence, it's not officially acknowledged

1948
01:53:58.079 --> 01:54:01.680
by the organization. My goal is to further the federation

1949
01:54:01.880 --> 01:54:06.359
goal when all other traditional methods of diploma she fall

1950
01:54:06.399 --> 01:54:10.520
apart and they get some leverage to operate right at

1951
01:54:10.560 --> 01:54:14.359
the line of what's acceptable. While those who watch thirty

1952
01:54:14.439 --> 01:54:18.520
one with the paramount plus decryption will clock differences between

1953
01:54:18.680 --> 01:54:22.960
it and the show's director, say it name again, I

1954
01:54:23.000 --> 01:54:29.199
can't pronounce it early Ton day okay, assured that the

1955
01:54:29.319 --> 01:54:32.159
movie is still Star Trek and rooted within the universe.

1956
01:54:32.600 --> 01:54:37.560
Georgio arriving in Star Trek's lost era offers intriguing opportunity

1957
01:54:37.640 --> 01:54:42.119
to explore classic characters such as Rachel Garrett, who played

1958
01:54:42.159 --> 01:54:45.880
by Casey Roll, the younger version of the Doom Captain

1959
01:54:45.960 --> 01:54:49.079
of the Usage Enterprise. She seen a Star Trek the

1960
01:54:49.119 --> 01:54:55.720
Next Generation episode Yesterday's Enterprise. Humbly Gans Gonzales plays a

1961
01:54:56.239 --> 01:55:03.239
Adulton in Star Trek. The Sex Okay, So Gonzales plays

1962
01:55:03.439 --> 01:55:07.079
a Dalton in Star Trek. Section thirty one.

1963
01:55:08.640 --> 01:55:09.119
Excuse me.

1964
01:55:09.720 --> 01:55:13.640
Star Trek's original Dalton, Lieutenant Elia, was played by the

1965
01:55:13.760 --> 01:55:21.920
late Persius cam Batata. Yeah in Star Trek The Motion Picture.

1966
01:55:23.119 --> 01:55:27.840
Dalton did briefly return in Star Trek Picard season two premiere,

1967
01:55:28.680 --> 01:55:34.880
when Shoji played by Isa Bryones and doctor Angish Girardi

1968
01:55:35.000 --> 01:55:41.359
played by Alison pill met with Dalton on Ratan four,

1975
01:56:16.600 --> 01:56:17.199
clogged up there.

1976
01:56:17.319 --> 01:56:20.880
Yeah, David, good job, you got your You squeezed it

01:56:29.039 --> 01:56:35.720
Okay, that's gonna make much like a triple.

1981
01:56:37.439 --> 01:56:41.520
We don't want that. So, uh, next week, guys, I

1982
01:56:41.640 --> 01:56:44.800
gotta tell you well, first of all, September twenty sixth Uh,

1983
01:56:44.880 --> 01:56:47.600
we're gonna have lineus on the podcast. So you guys

1984
01:56:47.640 --> 01:56:50.279
definitely want to mark that in your calendar because you

1985
01:56:50.399 --> 01:56:52.840
don't want to miss that. Spent a long time in

1986
01:56:52.920 --> 01:56:56.319
the making. So September twenty sixth, and you can go

1987
01:56:56.399 --> 01:57:00.239
to our our truck Talking dot com and we forard

1988
01:57:00.279 --> 01:57:03.560
a message for David and we'll play it on the

1989
01:57:03.600 --> 01:57:07.359
show and he can answer it for you. So that's cool. Now,

1990
01:57:07.479 --> 01:57:10.199
next week we have a really good show. I'm excited

1991
01:57:10.279 --> 01:57:13.760
for this one for David because next week we're going

1992
01:57:13.840 --> 01:57:17.560
to be talking about the Mirror Mirror and the Great

1993
01:57:17.640 --> 01:57:22.359
Triple Hunt. Dunt dunt du. Those will we next week's episodes.

1994
01:57:22.920 --> 01:57:25.439
So I'm really curious to see what David thinks about

1995
01:57:25.640 --> 01:57:32.359
the Triple in the Mirror Universe. Interesting. I'm wondering if

1996
01:57:32.399 --> 01:57:37.159
they're like they procreate real slow and they don't eat

1997
01:57:37.199 --> 01:57:40.720
a lot. I don't know, they have goateeas, I don't know. Anyway,

1998
01:57:41.319 --> 01:57:47.039
we'll be one guy, yeah, with go teas. We'll be

1999
01:57:47.119 --> 01:57:49.960
talking about that next week. You definitely don't want to

2000
01:57:50.039 --> 01:57:52.159
miss that. That's going to be a lot of fun.

2001
01:57:53.159 --> 01:57:55.600
And Charles will be back with us next week too,

2002
01:57:55.720 --> 01:57:58.319
so that's cool. So I want to take this opportunity

2003
01:57:58.319 --> 01:58:00.199

2004
01:58:00.319 --> 01:58:03.039

Let's see what's out there. Engage.

2029
01:59:32.079 --> 01:59:34.439
Hello, you have reached the Q continuum.

2030
01:59:34.880 --> 01:59:36.640
We are unable to get to the phone right now

2031
01:59:36.720 --> 01:59:39.159
because we are busy living in a plane of existence.

2032
01:59:39.479 --> 01:59:45.359
Your feeble mortal minds cannot possibly comprehend. Furthermore, it's pointless

2033
01:59:45.399 --> 01:59:48.079
to leave a message, because we, of course already knew

2034
01:59:48.159 --> 01:59:51.079
that you would call, and we simply do not care.

2035
01:59:51.920 --> 02:00:01.800
Have a nice day, ea,
