• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I can't hear them. You know, you can be playing
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: silly music over me while I'm talking.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And I mean I could, I could they do give
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: us background music as well. So, yeah, Jazz has heard it.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Daddy's uh. The sound effect was from LeVar Burton on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: uh on Mister Rogers where he says Daddy's help you
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: feel good and he says it's like daddies help you
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: feel good like it's it's not it's not. No, you
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: should be saying that on the Kids.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Show, sir.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: But yeah, all right, Well, since since you can't hear
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the sound effects, that's fine. We'll we'll plow on through
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and let's get to Star Trek News.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: All right, Star Trek News.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: All right, So our first bit of Star Trek News,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: we are learning more about the fallout of the Paramounts
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: merger with sky Dance. They are making some moves, and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: one of the big moves they are making is they
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: have hired a former Apple TV executive, Chris Parnell. Apparently,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: this guy Chris Parnell was in charge of original programming
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: at Apple TV. Also used to work at Sony Pictures
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: TV Studios. But he is now the EVP of Originals
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: at Paramount Plus. So what does that mean. It means
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: he is in charge of all new content coming forward,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: so not just Star Trek, but anything new will be
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: under him. Some other podcasts have been saying there's a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Star Trek podcast and forget the name of it that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: know this guy personally and say that he is a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: giant Star Trek fan. One thing about Chris Parnell is
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: he did work very closely with former Star Trek producer
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Ronald D. Moore on a show for Apple TV called
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: for All Mankind. So could more be returning? I don't know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I guess we'll see.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: You know, that's that's the worse things that could happen,
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: right right.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So, but at the very least, you know, they've been
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: saying that Star Trek is a priority. They've got this
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: guy in there. You know, I'm of two minds of this.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: One is that's great that they're they're focusing on original
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: content for Paramount Plus. Hopefully that means, you know, better
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Star Trek shows. You know, or a better emphasis on them.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: But the other thing that makes me more concerned is
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: this is a very similar move to what Disney did
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: when they started just creating a ton of Marvel shows
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and Star Wars shows, and it really lowered the quality. Yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: because it was another person in the room to give
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: their ideas, to demand their their input on it, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and to demand more content, whether or not it was warranted.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So it could really go either way. Oh, Desiree says, Hello, Hello, Hi,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: So yeah, what do you think of this move?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah? What do I think of this move? I don't know.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I just don't know anymore, Right, you know things that
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I thought were We're going well, Laurens. Yeah, I just
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know anymore. I don't know anymore.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Surface he hearing the Star Trek's priority and and uh
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: and we got a new guy in charge and he
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: loves it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: I feel like I should be excited about that, but
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know. There's been so many letdowns.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Hey, Scott, Yeah, I hope for good things, but I
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: am mentally prepared for words. Yeah, you know the there
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: was a post in our Facebook group and it was
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: a it was a picture of the female gem Edar
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: from the upcoming uh.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Academy Academy show, and the comment section just
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: turned into an absolute blood bath of people on both sides,
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: on both sides.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: And you know, someone asked me, why do you still
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: do this show? You hate stark check. It's basically what
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: they said to me.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: My answer was something along the lines of, when they
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: get it right, it's it's it's glorious and stick around
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: for that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: And I keep hoping for that, But the truth is,
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: I don't know how long I can do that. Yeo, yeah.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: A news story like this about this guy coming in
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: and he's gonna be in charge of all this, but
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: you know, he's a fan and he knows this guy
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: who was who was great when he did the show.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I feel like I should be excited for that, but
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm just so. I'm so cautious now, having
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: been let down so many times, and you know, I
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: do a lot of self reflection because I start to
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: think to myself, oh my god, I'm pining for Burman
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: era star Trek. I'm I'm the crotchety old bastard who
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: hates TNG, who teos is the only.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: True star Trek. I've come full circle right, and I'm
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: that guy now, Yeah, and I don't know how I
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: feel about it. Yeah, I don't know.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean we'll see. It's all early days with
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: this whole merger, so we'll see what happens. But yeah,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: so that's what they're doing there. But speaking of disappointment, unfortunately,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Michelle Yo no, no, Michelle Yo is out there promoting
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: her next film, some animated movie. I forget the name
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of it. But anyways, she's out there promoting that film,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and so she's talking a little bit about Section thirty
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: one and how it was, Yeah, how it was a
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: flop and how she says, you know, she always tries
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to do better and it's rough and basically, you know,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: she knew going in this was not the Star Trek
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: people wanted, but that they were hoping to do something
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: different and that hopefully people would like it, and uh,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately people did not like it. Oh, Chasmith says,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you're not the only one, Dan, So yeah, yeah, so
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you know, basically, just they tried and it didn't work out,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and you know, all you can do is try. I mean,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: she wasn't the problem. She's a really good actress.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: You know, it's just.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a giant swing and a miss. There
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was so many things going against this movie, the fact
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that it was a TV series, and then they scrapped
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: some you know, they they couldn't do that, so they
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: scraped some episodes and put it together and cobbled together
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a movie as opposed to starting as a movie to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: begin with. You know that didn't we're talking about it.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: We're talking about it for eight years, right if it takes.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: That long, yeah, reason, yeah, yeah.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Right, So.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Best to just move on past that. So yep, And
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: then our last news story comes to us from see
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: what is the name of this website? Red Shirts Always Die?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: And uh star Trek Starfleet Academy writer gives exciting update
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: on season two. That update is that they're currently writing
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: season two. Season one has not even come out yet
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and they are writing it. So there you go. That
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: can go win in two ways. You know that that's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: either you know, hopefully the fans like the first season
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and where they're gonna get more in season two, or
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: or they're gonna hurry up and get a bunch of
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: episodes out and yeah that'll be the end of it.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I don't care if you like this.
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, it's it's it's the idea of we need
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: to constantly feed the beast and so these these shows
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: need to come out every year or something like that.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: So that's that's why you write it like that without
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: getting feedback. You know. They did the same thing with
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the Snyder verse, right, They started writing Justice League even
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: before Batman versus Superman came out, so they had no
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: idea how the audience was going to take that. And yeah,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: so I'm glad.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I'm glad that's over.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Me too, me too. Those were dark, dark times, literally
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: so bad.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So did.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: You did you watch peace Maker?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I did it. Would you think.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: It's interesting how they're uh the story involves a multiverse. Yeah,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: but that's not what they used to establish that. Uh
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: you know this now takes place in this new universe
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: that the not the old one.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Right right, they just completely retconned it. Just whatever. Yeah,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: so it was.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: It was good.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: It came out the same day as the most recent
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: episode of Strange New Worlds, and it occupies a lot
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: more of my thoughts.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, than that episode of Worlds.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: So that you know, for me, it's been dexter dexter
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: resurrections that show is so good right now.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I've never watched any of those, actually, I think I
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: watched one or two, so Digital Dexter it's one of
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: those things.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: It's always there, like I should go back to that
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: at some point.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I would love with your career background. I would love
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: your input on that show, just how honor off they
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: are with things.

• 20:02
  Speaker 3: first vulcan in Starfleet? How is this guy there? And
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: he's an admiral Spox a lieutenant.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Right, I don't, I don't. Was he supposed to be
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the first?
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: I always thought he was. Yeah, I always thought he was.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: But that has nothing to do with the story. It's
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: just something that occurs to me. Okay.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: So the whole thing, the whole premise of the show,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: of the episode is flawed in so many ways. They
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: don't want to they have to appear to be vulcans.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: They don't break the prime directive, but the prime directive
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: is already broken.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: You can't break it again. Right, These people.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Understand that there's extra terrestrial life out there. They understand
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: excuse me, that that life has superior technology. They have
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: shared some of that superior technology with them. The idea
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: that we have to keep it from them that there's
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: other aliens other than Vulcans.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Why, why that makes that makes no sense?
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was their reason for having to turn the
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: crew into Vulcans. Okay, I'll give them that. They got
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: a hypospray to change their DNA to make them vulcan.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Mh.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Did that hypospray have the complete sum of Vulcan culture
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: in it as well or just Vulcan biology?
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: How did they suddenly become.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Logical and have Vulcan style haircuts? And yes, yes, yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: that's the other thing.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: It became Belldar or Belsar whatever his name was.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I was waiting to start eating the insulation or whatever.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: The most realistic transformation was lon Von didn't turn into vulcan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: She turned into a romulin. We know that they're biologically
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: the same. Well, a romulin is just a vulcan without
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: the mental discipline that they have gained through their culture
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: and through training and meditation.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: None of which these people went through.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: So realistically, they should all be vulcan, or they should
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: all be romulan.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: They shouldn't be they shouldn't be vulcan.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Once they stated that they didn't want to go back, Okay,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Pike should have been removed from command, right, that's that's
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: a simple that's a simple thing. The doctor says, you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: you're not fit to command. You're not in your right mind.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: The Captain Pike that we know wouldn't do these things.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I'm taking you to Starfleet Medical until you figure this out.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: It just there was just so many flaws. It just
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: there were so many.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Flaws, so many missteps, just to put them in a
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: situation where we can have them do funny.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Racist things. Right.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: Ah, I laughed.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: I laughed at some of the things. But that doesn't
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: mean it's good. Yeah, it doesn't mean it betters the franchise.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: And even you know, Ohono fallen head over.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Heels, That's what I was gonna get to.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Uh, Patton Oswald, why right?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Just something about him? Man just can't help herself.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: But here's the thing they have.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: You know, there's so many things, so many little things
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: that they can do that would make some things make sense,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: you know, just just to throw away line about she
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: shared a mind melt with him twenty five years ago.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Because of that, she can't get him out of her head,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: that would at least be believable. Yeah, you know, she's
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: a smoke show. He's a troll.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: What the numbers don't add up is what you're saying.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: It doesn't end up. Yeah, it doesn't end Yeah, yeah,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: it doesn't end up. The whole time I was watching this,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I kept thinking, this is an snl Skit turned into
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: an episode. Yeah, and it was a decent first draft,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: but they needed to go through and fine tune some
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: stuff if they wanted to make it good. I have
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a suspicion that a lot of these episodes, because we've
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: said that a couple of times this season already, I
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: have a feeling they were rushed and they didn't have
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: the time to really hammer these things out, so we
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: got what we got. I also think, though, there has
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: been a very mixed reaction to this season so far,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: if you look at comments, not just in our group,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: but I was looking at previews for upcoming episodes and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: all that on YouTube the comment sections, and people were
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: continually saying, hey, we want more strange new worlds. In
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: strange new worlds like that was a common complaint. A
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: lot of other people were saying, like, this show started
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: out great, now it's just goofy. Others were saying it
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: feels like fan fiction, which I kind of agree with
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: that it does feel like fan fiction the show. But yeah,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: like this, this was a fun premise, But I don't
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: know that it should have been a whole episode. No,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: not to this focus.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: It should have been a B story.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Other thing, I think of something else better?
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, where And you know what's.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Funny, the BT story actually like the B story. I
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: don't I don't know if it was the B story,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: if it was just I don't know. The Jim Kirk
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: being on the ship and none of the people that
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: he's super familiar with are around, so he hangs out
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: with Scotty for the night. I kind of liked that
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: because I always get the feeling watching TOS that the
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: two of them had a history.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Scotty.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: When you watch that show, Scotty feels a little older,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: he feels.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Like he's been around the block, and yeah, it.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Feels like he and Kirk have some sort of past together.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: So seeing a little bit of that, I enjoyed that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed seeing it because you know, you watched the
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: old shows from time to time. He calls him Jim also, right,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: rather than captain. So that's probably where I got the
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: feeling that they had they had some sort.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Of history together. So I enjoyed that. The rest of
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: it not so much.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Right as we're talking about it, I'm starting to realize
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: this was a Lower Decks episode. It had this been
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the main No, but really, right, had this been a
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Lower Decks episode, it would have been fantastic.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, yep, yeah, because it's.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: It's the same the same setup. Hey, we got to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: go down to a planet. You need to take this
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: magic drug to turn us all vulcans, and we'll go
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: down and then we come back and now we're goofy.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: It's a lower Deck episode.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm now I'm picturing boiler and look howffishent
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I am? I'm a vulcan Now I could do this.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Right, right, tend And yeah, yeah, it is a Lower
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Decks episode. That that is. That is the thing about it.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: How crazy? How crazy would it be to find out
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: that it was originally written as a Lower Decks episode.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I would not be surprised when that show ended.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like it was a pitch, what scripts do we have.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: That we can repurpose the other shows or whatever?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's fun. I would not be surprised now
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: that we've said that, Like you can you can totally
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: picture it. So yeah, yeah. But I think the other
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: problem too, and this was brought up a lot in
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: different Facebook air or chat message boards, that it's not
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: that people don't like the funny episodes, it's that there's
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: too many of them percentage wise. Yes, right, Like what
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: almost half the season has been goofy episodes where it
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: used to be you'd have one or two maybe three
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: at the most in a twenty three episode season. Yeah,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: so that I kind of agree with that, right. To me,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: it really feels like theater kids are running the Star
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Trek department. Yeah.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I did like the post credit scene. That was pretty funny.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. So we've got
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: two more episodes, let's see, that's it. Yeah, yeah, we
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: got and then New Life and New Civilizations, So September
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: fourth and September eleventh, and then we're done.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: So all right, fingers crossed.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Fingers cross Man. I mean they did warn't as from
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the beginning that they're gonna take a lot of big swings.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: They they definitely did, so, I don't know. M Yeah,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: So we did put a thing up in the Facebook
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: group if people liked it or didn't like it. Pretty
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: much a mixed bag. Some people loved it, others awesome, hilarious,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: other words, I can't understand this episode. Yeah, just it's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: all over the map. Some people loved it. It's not logical,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: it's just dumb. And then right under that is someone
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: else I loved it.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and a lot of myth, a lot of missed opportunities.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah too.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Well, Vulcans are are logical and reserved and they keep
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: their emotions in check. Romulans are super passionate. And Lon
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: comes face to face with Jim Kirk again. Who we
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: know she she loves him, She loves him?
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah and nothing.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Nothing Yeah, well, I mean she's I know, but yeah.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Another missed another missed opportunity to to you know, love triangle.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, involving Kirk and Spock.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, two classic character when you say star Trek to people,
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: you say Star Trek to someone on the street who
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: has never seen an episode in their entire life. They
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: know Captain Kirk and half of them say doctor Spock,
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: but mister Stock. You know, that's how that's how entrenched
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: they are, that's how much a part of pop culture
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: they are, these two guys, and to have love triangle
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: with the two of them and have and have the
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: perfect opportunity for it to make sense and Nope, we'll.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Do this instead.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: So we know that we were getting five seasons, right,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: so we got season four and season five coming up.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Do you think that they will either kill or somehow
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: remove in Benga to bring in Bones in either of
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: those seasons?
• 32:45
  Speaker 11: Uh?
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So who's left check off Sulu and Bones, right,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: pretty much else one else has been on the show?
• 32:59
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and Yeoman Rand if they wanted to do that, Yeah,
• 33:11
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: They might. They might save some of these for the
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: you know, the end, yeah transition, right, you know they may, Uh,
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: they may kill off in Benga. Yeah.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I think that's that's more likely, being that he's a
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: doctor and a super soldier assassin.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Right, it's got to end right with with Pike being
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: injured and now Kirk's got to take over. Yeah, that's
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: gotta be the last episode, or at least the last storyline,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: like it ends with him being dropped off with that planet.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I don't know, Yeah, I don't know. The
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: timeline is all walking now, who knows? Who knows? We
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: could we.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Could see him because in the JJ verse, none of
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: that happened. He has ever been coming in app and
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: then and then conk. So I know that's a completely
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: different timeline. But this is a completely different timeline. We
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: know of this temporal cold war going on right now.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: So nothing really is set in stone anyway.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: That's true too, It's it's whatever they wanted to be.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: What's the phrase unshackled.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Un Yes, they're unshackled from cannon. So all right, well
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I think we should get into listener feedback then sure,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: see like we're yeah, so all right, let's get into
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: listener feedback. Listener feedback. All right, So, if you guys
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: want to give us a call, you can always give
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: us a call at five seven zero sixty six one
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: zero zero zero one and leave us a voicemail. As
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: we like to say, nobody is standing by to take
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: your call at five seven zero six six one zero
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: zero zero one. But we will definitely take your voicemail.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: We do have a voicemail. If you're in the chat
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and you'd like to join us, please x up in
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: the chat. But in the meantime we do have a voicemail,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: so let me play that now.
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: Here in sunny Shore and by Sea, south of England,
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: and just wanted to give my quick thoughts on strange
• 35:53
  Speaker 11: New worlds. I can't even remember the title of four
• 35:56
  Speaker 11: and a half falcons.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, where do I start?
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: Keep this below two minutes for your little cartoon characterization.
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: I did enjoy the sloth last week. By the way, anyway,
• 36:09
  Speaker 11: identifying as a vulcan, are.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Just going to read my notes? Okay, this is funny because.
• 36:14
  Speaker 11: This will make no sense. Identifying as a vulcan doesn't
• 36:18
  Speaker 11: make you vulcan.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 36:20
  Speaker 11: For example, did it change the color of their blood? No,
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: it really annoyed me when they were saying, oh, as
• 36:26
  Speaker 11: a valcan, as a vulcan for the last five minutes.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Were they actually stronger?
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: I think they were. One of them might have been,
• 36:33
  Speaker 11: but that's going to put a lot of pressure on
• 36:34
  Speaker 11: bones and muscles that haven't been able to acclimatize to
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: be in a Vulcan. There's no way Pike good Point
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: allowed to remain in command, like I can't see that happening.
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: He was behaving like an ass.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: I also saw a.
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: Line in there that said there's nothing physically or mentally
• 36:53
  Speaker 11: wrong with them. One of the characters said that, which
• 36:56
  Speaker 11: of course is not true. They're physically wrong and you wrong.
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: Who said you gonna do a mind meld or she
• 37:04
  Speaker 11: had done a mind mold? Does that naturally occur for Vulcans?
• 37:08
  Speaker 11: Or do you have to train for years to do
• 37:11
  Speaker 11: mind melds?
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 37:13
  Speaker 11: Uh oh, And just like that they changed back again
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: off screen and the dancing when when Laren was fighting
• 37:24
  Speaker 11: Spark and they did that stupid dance. Anyway, we're nearly
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: two minutes.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: I love the show.
• 37:35
  Speaker 11: That's two minutes now love you by.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: So there you go. So yeah it really uh he
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: had problems with it as well.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Is that the Is that the same guy who used
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: to cause yeah years ago? Okay, yeah, what's his name?
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Kim?
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Kim? It's been a while, you hear from it.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: He's the talking sloth now yeah?
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So he brought up a lot of the
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: same points they get vulcanized like a tire, and suddenly
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: they have all of these skills that other vulcans trained
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: for years to acquire.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Man, I wish it would easy.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: I wish I could go to go to go to
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: karate and get the get the karate hypospray, get the
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Japanese hypo spray, and then suddenly you know, I'm a
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: I'm a black belt, but like.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: The matrix, I know kung fu. Now yeah, yeah, all right,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: we got jazz Biz waiting, so let me bring him
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: in there. He is jazz Biz.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: Are are you okay?
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: You look like you're you're being a whole hostage in
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: a blank room.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: It's my new house, and I'll have pictures.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, hey, play play one of the effects now
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: that he's in the show.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: And oh yeah, yeah, I mean you heard him earlier.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: But let's see if he hears them. Now, let's hear
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Let's try this one that acastics do. Chick fan, you
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: must be a devil with the ladies.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it's Apple or are you an Apple device?
• 39:24
  Speaker 13: Dan?
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: So maybe it's blocking it or something. Yeah, that's weird
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: because I can hear it perfectly through mine.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's something maybe it only does like one channel
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: of audio.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's something with the stream yard.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, this is like I.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Can't use my EarPods when I talk to you guys
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: on here.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: For some reason.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Right, you can see Dan's working away and his reverse.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Dan, your phone actually works, I know. I and you
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: haven't cut out at all their episode We're Here, Awesome.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it was.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Your old phone that was cutting out the whole time.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Yep. So would you think of the episode? Did you
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: like it or not?
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I thought I agree with you. It's a lower decks episode.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: This should not have been you know, it should have
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: been a B storyline. And when Tim said you changed
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: into a vulcan, but you wouldn't have the emotions. It's
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: kind of like when A on Deep Space nine when
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: they changed into clingons, they weren't fighting each other or
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: anything else like that, because on Cisco and O'Brien, right it,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know, because they had to pretend to be clingons,
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: but they weren't cleanons.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: So right, well, and then that one they weren't changed
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: to klingon at the DNA level they were. It was
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: classic surgery. So it's a little bit different, but same
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: basic concept for an episode. Too different excuse to put
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: them in different makeup and outfits and Trader.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it should be strange new outfits, not
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: strange new worlds.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, strange.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Why did Pike have that what is it? I think
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: it's called the vulcan. It's like a pugil stick with
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: an axe one.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: It's just like carrying it around.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Because I thought you.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: Had that vanilla going to I gotta I gotta go, uh,
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: I gotta go repair the air conditioner.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: Hit me that Samurai sword.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're going the mission and it takes one second.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, ially like that.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: I thought it was kind of funny because they're so
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: efficient it is over.
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought that was kind of funny.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, after that, it started just going downhill from there. Yeah,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: and where's our strange new worlds?
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: How many Aliens have we visited this year? Last week
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: we visited Alien but it was done documentary style and
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: you didn't really find out about it much.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: What about the Gorn threat? They were teasing that something
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: was up with Ortegis. That was like four or five
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: episodes ago.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: You have two more episodes to yeah, the whole season.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you got captain girlfriend who's got half
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: corn in her.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Two babies or something. She's gonna turned into your trimlin
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: or something sheets after midnight?
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what's going on with what?
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: She's captain girlfriend? She's just everywhere? And then how do
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: you yell at you're superior and then get hired after that?
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be attorney at Gorn.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: That's gonna be great and go.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll take a bite out for you. Oh Captain
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: keV says they also stayed in that robe coming back
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: from the ship, as if that's what makes them vulcan. Yeah, yeah,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe the robes are comfortable.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: You know, that final dance scene was just that took
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: me out of it. I was like, what is going
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: on here?
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: I I kind of felt too that, like because they
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: were using Pelly as a as comic relief because she
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: you know, LSD didn't work on her and now this
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: drug didn't work on her, and so she's really bummed out,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: and so that just made me think, like, you're already
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: doing a comedy episode. You don't need to crack more jokes. Yes,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: you know, so it's.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Like it's almost turned into Airplane.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: So well, no, it was like a parody. Yeah, like yeah,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: you're right, like airplane.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a parody of itself. That was the
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: one thing I put it is like Star Trek's becoming
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: a parody of itself.
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because it's not I don't know, it's.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Not Star Trek this year. And does it deserve a
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: fourth season? I'd say no. Yeah, they're rating go on IMDb.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the hands are not that happy.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, And I definitely don't think I will get
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: a fifth And if that don't improve next season, this
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: this shows over.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Well and I think they're already a shooting season four,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: so we then want to.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Do if four doesn't improve, then five shouldn't happen at all.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: If I own sky Dance, I'd cut it.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Georgia corn Law, your settlement will be merciful and quick.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: And I still don't understand, like you have a Conoonian
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: soon love with uh Kirk and Spot but they see
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Con like, who's this con guy?
• 45:09
