• 4:16
  this setup, right this line right here. This is concrete painted like my
• 4:25
  favorite green color. I guess it's not really my favorite anymore. This is
• 4:28
  pig board and this is an actual ledge. So these are all just sitting
• 4:33
  on the ledge. Yeah, like a basement. Yeah, so I switch
• 4:39
  over from so this morning, I have trek cast up. Tonight I'll take
• 4:43
  all those letters down and put eve echoes up. And then tomorrow morning for
• 4:46
  work, I'll have a tech new water jet up there with the poster.
• 4:48
  And so now I've got three setups for the week. Do you ever just
• 4:53
  put Chad back there? I should? I can. Actually I don't have
• 4:58
  a D. I have everything with a D. I should get a D
• 5:00
  and put you need that day? Yeah, walked on? I did?
• 5:04
  I did? He did walk that? Yeah? Please please tell Chad how
• 5:10
  he needs the D. We got a couple of new people in the great
• 5:15
  it's great, all right, Well, should we get to the news.
• 5:19
  Absolutely all right, so our first news story comes to us from trekmovie dot
• 5:28
  com and we're getting a little bit of a preview. I don't know if
• 5:31
  you guys know this, but Comic Con is right around the corner. It's
• 5:33
  roughly two weeks away. Yeah, yeah. Always in July, Caramount is
• 5:38
  going to have an exhibit. They're one of the few few studios that are
• 5:41
  planning to do something there, and so there will be a little bit of
• 5:44
  a Star Trek presentation. So they usually do that. They don't save it
• 5:47
  for STLV. They always have it for well that's STLV. Is it's big
• 5:54
  for us, but it's not big. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 5:57
  so that that's why. Yeah. But um, anyways, so we're learning
• 6:01
  a little bit. They said that the Star Trek panel will include things about
• 6:05
  casting crew and some sort of preview they have said from Star Trek Lower Decks,
• 6:12
  Star Trek Discovery, and Star Trek Strange New Worlds. So what that
• 6:16
  exclusive content is we have no idea. People are thinking it's going to be
• 6:20
  a some sort or trailer for Discovery, but you know, it's all just
• 6:26
  it's speculation right now. So what do you think they'll do? Um?
• 6:33
  Well, okay, so for Strange New Worlds, I bet they'll show another
• 6:36
  clip or good clip between the Lower Decks crossover episode, right, and then
• 6:45
  for Lower Decks they'll show the other flip side of that. You know.
• 6:47
  At that point the crossover is either that that week or the next. It's
• 6:51
  like real soon after that, so it doesn't happen the week. Yeah,
• 6:56
  it happens the week before STLV. Yeah, it's a seventh episode in and
• 6:59
  we're four already. Yeah yeah, so that's how close we are all this,
• 7:02
  ladies and gentlemen. Yeah yeah, so yeah, no, if that's
• 7:09
  what I would do if I was then that's exactly what I would do,
• 7:11
  is I would say, and I would have a surprise. Oh guess what,
• 7:14
  This crossover goes both ways and we see cartoon versions of people from Strange
• 7:18
  New world Yeah, that's true. That would be great. They're also gonna
• 7:23
  have something called the Energized Lounge, which would be just a cool place to
• 7:27
  relax within the within the convention, and then they're also going to have something
• 7:31
  called Strange New Worlds at Fandom Party, so it will be some sort of
• 7:36
  interactive photo booth and gaming exhibit that is there as well. So that's fun,
• 7:44
  way more than what they're going to do for STLV. I'm sure,
• 7:46
  yeah, which I mean, I understand the difference between the two events.
• 7:50
  Right, The comic con is huge, it's global, lots of people are
• 7:55
  watching it from all across multiple genres, multiple studios. Shows what You've got
• 8:01
  a chance to lure in people who are not Trek fans, right, you're
• 8:05
  there for other stuff, whereas it's just preaching to the choir. Yeah,
• 8:09
  yeah, exactly. Yeah. But at the same time, so I get
• 8:13
  all that, it's fine. I'm I'm okay with that. I think it's
• 8:16
  smart. I would do the same if it was underneath my purview and not
• 8:20
  not Terry Metallus, but the other guys, the other guy who I don't
• 8:24
  like. Um, well, I keep forgetting his name anymore because I keep
• 8:28
  thinking of Terry Matallus, But it's not Terry. It's uh yeah, Kurtzman
• 8:31
  with a short right hair, Alex Kraveran Yeah, my favorite. Yeah.
• 8:37
  Anyway, Um, if I was him and I had his job, I
• 8:41
  would make a point. And they screwed up this thing, even even with
• 8:43
  the Chicago convention when they were trying to have their own you know, and
• 8:46
  they were going to have them rotating around and that didn't go so very very
• 8:50
  well. They did one and said, no, we're not doing that again.
• 8:54
  Um. I would make sure to have something major at STLV and announce
• 8:58
  it ahead of time, even though they're doing something at Comic Con. Have
• 9:03
  something specifically for the fans. So I can see them doing all of this
• 9:09
  for Comic Con, but then announcing like Star Trick Legacy at STLV, because
• 9:15
  that's where you're gonna get the giant pop you already know it. Oh,
• 9:18
  good point, exactly exactly so or Academy, Yeah, something like that with
• 9:26
  the writers strike. Who knows of academy will happen. That's yeah, that's
• 9:30
  a good point. Let's hope the writer strike kills it. God. Yeah,
• 9:35
  well, and then you might have an actor's strike too, So yeah,
• 9:39
  I saw that. That seems to be going on too. So te
• 9:43
  Bear makes an excellent point. I could do Kurtzman's job better than him,
• 9:46
  because I am Chad and I am always wrong. Jarre's the Star Trick Legacy
• 9:52
  would make sense. It's true, all right, Our next story comes to
• 9:56
  him from Slash Film, and this is kind of cool. They do did
• 10:00
  an interview um with the actress who plays Ortega's and talked to her a little
• 10:05
  bit about what we can expect for her character in the coming episodes. So
• 10:09
  apparently we're gonna get a little bit more of her backstory, is what we're
• 10:13
  being told her time as a soldier. So that's cool. Um yeah,
• 10:22
  I just thought that was kind of neat. It's it's kind of a slow
• 10:24
  newsweek, so yeah, well they all have, um a little bit of
• 10:28
  a background as a soldier. Outside of Pike, it feels like Right and
• 10:33
  Lawn of the war, he wasn't around. You're right, um, Lawn
• 10:39
  and Benga and now Ortega, Um, we're all um. Oh you know
• 10:43
  what it's because they came out of the Klingon War exactly. They were all
• 10:46
  part of the quing On War. They all have different um yeah, they
• 10:52
  weren't roles. Yeah yeah, no, none of them were. Um,
• 10:54
  they had different roles. So it'll be interesting to know how this crew actually
• 10:58
  came together with all these people being kind of separate beforehand and with the Enterprise.
• 11:01
  So we know what the Enterprise was doing during the war, right,
• 11:05
  they wrote a book about it. They say it's cannon Frankly, I hope
• 11:09
  they changed that and they just write some backstories in or even have like a
• 11:13
  flashback episodes of what they were doing during the war instead of that book.
• 11:16
  The book was called The Enterprise War. I forget who wrote it, but
• 11:18
  it was horribles. Yeah, pretty Epauike was so good they couldn't use them
• 11:22
  in the war. Pike was so good they couldn't use them in the war.
• 11:26
  And Spock was so good that they had him literally walking on a planet
• 11:30
  in a robotics suit for like six months NonStop. That's what happened in the
• 11:33
  book. I'm not kidding, it's a joke. So yeah, so um
• 11:37
  at any rate, but um what's her name was on the on the Enterprise
• 11:43
  too, which was interesting. This is the from Discovery. Daryl says that
• 11:52
  you're wrong. The book wasn't that bad. I mean, I read all
• 11:56
  of it, so it can't be that bad. But it was still kind
• 11:58
  of a poor I'm saying it's bad from a poor use of the Enterprise during
• 12:01
  the Cleanland War. That was a poor excuse. Well then and then had
• 12:05
  to figure it out. Well yeah, but that's a still also a pissed
• 12:07
  poor way to which the book. I mean, yes, the young young
• 12:11
  girl. That's who she was on the Enterprise during during that book. Um
• 12:16
  what's her name with the benzite with the things on her mouth? Yea,
• 12:20
  she was on the Enterprise, Yeah, exactly, young young girl. She
• 12:22
  was on um, the Enterprise with Pike during that whole thing, and then
• 12:28
  came back and then ended up with discovering all that. So it gave her
• 12:31
  a great backstory honestly, um, which they totally trashed and ruined and threw
• 12:35
  away and on Discovery like they did with every other character. So right,
• 12:39
  far from the court. So Carolaska story comes to from entertainment, and the
• 12:43
  headline is kind of misleading. The headline is Star Trek Prodigy missing episodes might
• 12:48
  be making their way home. So that would seem to think season two is
• 12:54
  going to be released somehow, right, That's kind of the implication. But
• 12:58
  that's not the case. So remember season one was split up into two parts,
• 13:05
  and the first part of season one actually aired on Nickelodeon. What's actually
• 13:09
  happening is they are making DVD and Blu Ray releases of the second half of
• 13:16
  season one, which did air on Paramount Plus but never aired on Nickelodeon.
• 13:22
  So technically put it all together. Yeah, yeah, so that's what's happening
• 13:30
  right. Season two is still like nearly complete. Even though they don't have
• 13:33
  no plans to air it, they're still gonna shop it around and hopefully sell
• 13:37
  it to somebody. So yeah, Demon says he did hear the Discovery was
• 13:43
  kind of trash. Indeed, yep, indeed, I finally found a way
• 13:50
  to get myself into the chat. Yes, chat has entered the chat.
• 13:56
  So anyways, the Blu rays and all that. The second half of season
• 14:01
  one looks like it will be releasing September twenty six in Canada according to the
• 14:07
  best Buy over there and the Amazon over there, so probably similar dates for
• 14:13
  America. But that is tentatively what is going on. So alrighty and that's
• 14:20
  the news. So I know we're not into the main topic yet, but
• 14:24
  yeah, you want to make sure that we cover is what was this about?
• 14:30
  What was what about her handsong? With the It's happened in a couple
• 14:37
  episodes. Now, yeah, I don't know, so we got a future
• 14:43
  story going on, probably, you know, I don't know. I mean,
• 14:50
  it could be just something they came up with themselves and then they just
• 14:54
  threw it into the show. Oh and I'm sorry if you're listening to the
• 14:56
  podcast, it's that thing where they take their finger and they swipe it under
• 15:01
  their eyes and move it from the corner of their eye out to the edge,
• 15:03
  as if you're putting on the black streak before you go play football,
• 15:07
  kind of yeah, or war paint or you know, the blood of Klingons
• 15:11
  or whatever it might be. Well, like Will Wheaton said that when he
• 15:16
  would sit there at the console, he had specific hand motions to do each
• 15:20
  tasks that he was supposed to do, and so then that way it was
• 15:24
  consistent, right, And apparently that is a thing anyone who pilots the enterprise,
• 15:30
  that's what they're taught. Is cool, Yeah, except for Artiga.
• 15:35
  Hers is I'm gonna do cats paw in two different spots, and I'm gonna
• 15:37
  lean forward and then lead side to side. That's what that's what she does
• 15:41
  when she flies. Well, because they're like the CGI will come in later
• 15:45
  and fix it. Yeah right, but I mean they've they've totally this is
• 15:48
  this is one of my pet peeple. Well, we'll get into this into
• 15:52
  the topic, I guess, Well, yeah, exactly, there it is.
• 15:54
  She's got the cats falls, she's leaning forward. It's as if she's
• 15:58
  got two joysticks that are a round orbs. I don't know. Yeah,
• 16:03
  let's do the main I love that. Yeah, that one too, A
• 16:14
  plus A plus. Am I the only one that wants that song to go
• 16:18
  on for just a little bit longer? Everything? Oh no, Dan complains
• 16:22
  about it every week. Yes, yes, but no, this is one
• 16:29
  of my eaters. Yeah. Yeah, and this is one of my complaints
• 16:33
  about um strange New worlds. Um, look at that screen shot right there,
• 16:37
  and look at the graphics and look at the layout. It's a gorgeous
• 16:40
  bridge, right, Um does it really fit for TuS era? And does
• 16:45
  the shuttlecraft? We get some really good inside views of the shuttlecraft this week.
• 16:51
  Not only is the shuttlecraft freaking huge, it's huge. It's bigger than
• 16:56
  Shuttlecraft and TNG. It looks way more advanced. Yeah, we've talked about
• 17:02
  this before, but we I know, but before we've agreed that Yeah,
• 17:06
  it's fine because it's just updated versions of what they would have done if they
• 17:10
  had all this technology back then. This is what they would have done or
• 17:14
  something like this, right, And I get that, but it's like it's
• 17:17
  not just the it's not just the look um and the technology that they're using.
• 17:22
  It's the size they've made everything freaking yeah. Yeah, like Captain's quarters,
• 17:27
  Yeah, I mean enormous. You remember what Kirks were on the same
• 17:33
  ship. Yeah? Tiny? Yeah. That that actually really brings up kind
• 17:40
  of a good point where, um, you know, I can't remember the
• 17:44
  literary term for it, but you've basically you have to kind of suspend disbelief
• 17:48
  for a bit when you're watching Strange New Worlds, because you know, you're
• 17:55
  a lifelong fan, you know that this is not really what the Enterprise would
• 17:59
  have looked like prior to TS. So you're like, Okay, I get
• 18:04
  that, this isn't it. This Okay, there's a more modern version.
• 18:07
  But then they kind of push it a little bit with things like they'll bring
• 18:11
  you back to a tricorder and we're like, oh, we all that.
• 18:14
  Yes, that's the t OS tri quarter, we know that. And a
• 18:18
  phaser. Okay, there's a phaser. We know that's what the phaser looks
• 18:19
  like. So we've got a little bit of a contrast there, because you've
• 18:23
  got things that you go, yes, that looks like it's supposed to and
• 18:26
  then you look at other things like the bridge and go, that's not right.
• 18:32
  So they've kind of made a it's a weird yeah. Really. At
• 18:37
  one point on the planet, Pike pulls out a tricorder that looks almost identical
• 18:45
  to the Spock tricorder from TS Yes, right, a strap on it.
• 18:49
  It looks like it almost looks like a Gucci square bag the woman would wear,
• 18:56
  you know. I mean it's got the flip up lid on it.
• 18:59
  I mean you look down at it, you know, when it's over your
• 19:00
  whole you know, it's just it's very fashionable. Yeah, but Chad,
• 19:06
  the turbo lifts do look normal. But here's the problem with the turbo lifts.
• 19:11
  They all have those handles on there that they're supposed to grip when they
• 19:15
  use them. No one does. Yeah. Oh okay, well since we're
• 19:22
  now on the main topic. This brings me to a point that I was
• 19:23
  like, okay, now now you've you've broken it. Now when is it
• 19:30
  or take us? That's who the Yeah, okay, how does she activate
• 19:36
  the computer without saying computer? Yeah, it's just there. It's like it's
• 19:41
  always listening, like uh actually Google always it's yeah exactly. But It's like
• 19:48
  it was a multiple times she's like calling out and just talking to the air,
• 19:51
  and suddenly the computer starts answering. I'm like, that's not how it's
• 19:53
  supposed to work, right, You're supposed to say computer, you know,
• 19:57
  blah blah blah, or you know, hold onto the thing and go deck
• 20:00
  six or something like that. So and Facebook user who whom I don't know
• 20:07
  who you are. No, I'm not in prison. I'm in a basement
• 20:10
  because um, well that's the quiet place in my house at the moment.
• 20:17
  And so I do. I do have the two sentenced log line among the
• 20:22
  lowdest theaters. It says, returning to a planet that dredges up a tragic
• 20:26
  memories, Captain Pike and his landing party find themselves forgetting everything, including their
• 20:30
  identities, as he confronts a ghost from his past. I mean that's accurate,
• 20:37
  that's what happens. So yeah, yes, I don't like the setup
• 20:41
  for why they were what happened the last time they were here. Now,
• 20:45
  now keep in mind, this is um this is cannon them having been here
• 20:52
  before this barbaric race or whatever this happened in the in the very first TuS
• 20:59
  pilot whatever ever. Yeah, the menagerie, the cage, the cage.
• 21:03
  Yeah, yeah, so where they visited this planet and they either a had
• 21:07
  a problem or be contaminated. I can't remember exactly what happened when they were
• 21:11
  there before. But the problem is with this setup of what of them being
• 21:15
  there before having not been there long enough to have experienced the issues with memory.
• 21:21
  They were only there for four and a half hours. Since when does
• 21:25
  an away team go down to a planet without knowing anything about it, not
• 21:30
  knowing what's there, but also have multiple cases of rifles and medical equipment.
• 21:37
  Since when have we seen in a way team go down somewhere and he actually
• 21:41
  take cases of stuff out and out of the shuttlecraft? Like never, never
• 21:47
  have I ever been there setting something up and they've been there for a long
• 21:51
  time that we see cases show up or get beamed down or whatever. Yeah.
• 21:55
  Oh yeah, No, there's there's all sorts of plot holes in this.
• 21:57
  Yeah, that's a huge I love this scene though. By the way,
• 22:00
  she's so happy, she's she's got the hat. Yeah, ortegas,
• 22:07
  Yeah, and she just gets shot down and she's walking with the three of
• 22:11
  them. The three of them were walking up to Pike and to Spock and
• 22:12
  she's all excited to ready to go to the party. She gets to be
• 22:18
  in the landing party. Now, this is another plot hole that actually gets
• 22:21
  filled later, right when she's talking in her log and she's talking to herself
• 22:26
  and says, I'm Mortega and I fly the ship. Like it sounds so
• 22:30
  stupid and bubbly, like why would you leave that in your personal log to
• 22:34
  yourself? But they fill it in later and just re hash it. I
• 22:41
  suppose. So Daryl said the writers forgot like the characters did accurate. I
• 22:52
  mean the Facebook. This Facebook user says, the shuttle had the equipment.
• 22:56
  Of course, the shuttle has the equipment on it. But you're there for
• 22:59
  four and a half hours and you took all the equipment out of the shuttlecraft.
• 23:03
  Maybe the shuttle crashed or got destroyed it somehow. Yeah, I guess
• 23:07
  there's a lot of I guess there's a few explanations there. It just didn't
• 23:11
  It seemed pretty loose. It seemed pretty loose, accu Yeah, when this
• 23:14
  guy, the guy who was stuck on the planet first showed up, I
• 23:17
  honestly thought it was that actor from Spider Man, the guy who plays Flash
• 23:22
  Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Really, For a hot second, I was
• 23:25
  like, is that him? Oh that's funny. That would have been hilarious
• 23:29
  if it was. Yeah, they really should do things like that, just
• 23:33
  take like B or C level actors from major, major movies and just throw
• 23:38
  them in as why not? Yeah, why not? I mean they already
• 23:41
  did it really with Discovery. Yeah. I did not like him from the
• 23:47
  second I saw him. Yeah, I don't know why King like Burger King.
• 23:52
  Yeah he did with that with that crown on his head on that did
• 24:00
  look with the cloak around, Yeah he does. He looks like Burger King.
• 24:06
  That's pretty good. He's like, you'll have it my way, You'll
• 24:11
  have it my way. I do like, um, did someone say they
• 24:18
  wanted a whopper? I came from Chaine. Demon uh. And So for
• 24:22
  those of you who are listening to the podcast, if you're not following along
• 24:26
  on the YouTube, by the way, sometimes you're missing some of this commentary
• 24:30
  that gets thrown up on the screen or some of the images. So we
• 24:32
  do apologize. There's always a little bit of a trick trying to relate back
• 24:34
  to the audio version versus the video version. All that, so I would
• 24:38
  suggest you listen to one watch watch the other. Do both throughout the week.
• 24:41
  It's fun, right and like and subscribe? Yep, like and subscribe.
• 24:45
  Wow, what do you know, that's the first time we ever like
• 24:48
  have said that about YouTube. I want to know who this Facebook user is.
• 24:56
  Oh my gosh, that's hilarious. I want to see Gentry as the
• 25:00
  Goblin and Spider Man. Hey, honey, I'm home. He's already got
• 25:03
  the shirt. Is wearing this orange Hawaiian hot shirt. That's right, that's
• 25:14
  right. Fashion nice, nice, very good. Oh, I know who
• 25:19
  the Facebook user is chattington I swear that's Dan. Is this Dan? He's
• 25:29
  driving somewhere and it's Dan. It's Dan. I just checked. Oh,
• 25:33
  of course he's been found out. He's been found out. Yeah, his
• 25:41
  wife must be driving at the moment and he can't help but join he's going.
• 25:51
  All right. So getting back to this episode, uh Alandre says,
• 25:56
  I always do both wash it while eating breakfast and relistening while gardening. That's
• 26:00
  a good routine. Yeah, that's a good routine. You are awesome.
• 26:03
  Would you grow in your garden? Yeah? What do you grow? Waiting
• 26:11
  to respond, uh Tash says, what is it? Oh? I thought
• 26:15
  he was cosplaying red Is from More just the new plaque. Hey, I've
• 26:22
  met the woman. I'll do it. I'll take it. That's fine.
• 26:23
  Chat as he's making his wife do the chat. That's correct. He's driving
• 26:27
  and he's making his wife type up. Yeah yeah, and it's not Dan,
• 26:33
  it's land Bombardo right. Oh this is good. Oh man, this
• 26:41
  is what makes it show great. We don't even have to talk about Star
• 26:44
  Trek, which is make fun of each other the whole time. I mean,
• 26:49
  so, Danny Geeks did quite an extensive list of Easter eggs from this
• 26:53
  episode. Oh yeah, yeah, there's a lot of them. They all
• 26:59
  of course back to the cage because that's really what this is a direct link
• 27:03
  to. But they even mentioned how in in the cage, um number one
• 27:07
  is piloting the enterprise. So that's why she later says, hey, I
• 27:11
  flew this before you. Yeah. Yeah, so yeah, that kind of
• 27:15
  thing, which then is a plot hole because then, yeah, Erica could
• 27:18
  have gone down. Yeah yeah, yeah, they do this themselves. I
• 27:26
  don't know, Oh yeah they do. It does look like a medieval warrior
• 27:30
  with the blast, because that's basically what they were going for. Now.
• 27:33
  The other issue I have with this though, is they this what was alien
• 27:41
  race called? Again, it's not the Kaison but starts the Larbarites. Yeah,
• 27:47
  the Larbertes, they just ar, they just lap. Yeah, um,
• 27:51
  they they don't look like that in the cage. They actually look like
• 27:56
  aliens with funny teeth. They look more like Klingons actually than anything else,
• 28:00
  not humans. And these guys just look like humans. Didn't even bother doing
• 28:03
  any prosthetics anything different, just straight up straight up humans. All right,
• 28:14
  Dan's gone, He's leaving us a little Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
• 28:17
  Yeah. Um, I really liked this episode. I thought it was a
• 28:22
  lot of fun. Yeah. Yeah, when I was watching, you know,
• 28:26
  as I suffer for the people with Will Wheaton. Um, they did
• 28:30
  mention that the costume designs were based off Mongolian warriors, like that was the
• 28:34
  inspiration. Yeah, it's not a direct one from one, but I can
• 28:37
  see it. Oh yeah for sure, Yeah very much. What did you
• 28:44
  think about, by the way, with Captain Battel that was the other cap
• 28:51
  the female captain, Yeah yeah, his his love interest. Yeah yeah,
• 28:56
  which we've seen in other episodes that she's shown up before, oh lots of
• 29:00
  times. Obviously. She was apparently punished for for not I guess convicting him
• 29:06
  or something, not convicting Una, yeah Una rather yeah, oh ty jay,
• 29:11
  that's one hundred percent right. We still have a musical to go.
• 29:14
  Yep, yeah, that's I forgot about that. Oh that's gonna be a
• 29:18
  separate episode from the crossover, isn't it. Yeah, well, maybe we
• 29:25
  don't don't put those two is I don't know, that could be crazy fun,
• 29:30
  who knows. I hope not. Um, but that's that's that's probably
• 29:33
  one more stinker than the musical. I guess it depends. Yeah, I
• 29:40
  don't know. I'm not a musical kind of fan. But but now here's
• 29:42
  something Look at this image, right, here's something that really threw me for
• 29:45
  a loop and it took me a while to realize what was going on.
• 29:48
  But while on the ship and he has his memories, Pike's hair is going
• 29:52
  one way while on the planet, Like right there, his hair is going
• 29:56
  the other. How the hell does that happen? And why? Yeah,
• 30:00
  at that point, what's the point of that? A little bit of a
• 30:03
  continuity issue there, I don't I don't understand, Like, literally, his
• 30:06
  hair is going the opposite way while he's on the planet. It's like a
• 30:08
  mood ering. It indicates his sadness. His hair points towards Yeah, that's
• 30:15
  right, I forgot who I am. Yeah, we're gonna make Gentry choke
• 30:26
  on something. Well. I actually I was laughing because I could imagine what
• 30:30
  it would be the situation when his hair is standing straight up. So oh
• 30:34
  no, yeah, yeah maybe maybe damon. Yeah, I was wondering,
• 30:44
  demon. I was wondering the same thing as whether or not they reversed it.
• 30:47
  Um, you know when they when they you know that you film something
• 30:51
  or a camera and it's backward. I wondered if it was the same thing.
• 30:53
  But that picture that we were just looking at, I mean, his
• 30:56
  hair is it's pretty wacko. Yeah, yeah, that's one. It's it's
• 31:02
  that doesn't even look like his hair would have been if it were reversed.
• 31:04
  I think, right, yeah, I'm not really Well, he's got his
• 31:10
  sides shaved pretty close in this episode, which I guess they're always like that,
• 31:15
  But I just didn't really notice it until I noticed the Harry shoe fling
• 31:18
  back and forth, and then especially on Ortega's hair. They it wasn't just
• 31:26
  shaved, it was like razors shaved clean no hair at all around her ears
• 31:30
  and around the back. Yeah, welcome to fashion Cast. Fashion Cast,
• 31:34
  this is cosmetology cast. Yeah yeah, styles with Chad. They did talk
• 31:45
  about Pike's peak in uh in the Will Wheaton Show. Yeah, you could
• 31:51
  totally tell Anson mountains just like whatever, dude. Yeah, yeah, he
• 31:56
  doesn't care. Yeah, forgot how to fix his own hair. Yeah.
• 32:01
  Probably that's a good point, Darryl. Maybe a comba is in standard issue
• 32:07
  the boxes they Yeah, you forgot how to use it, spotic comb Yeah,
• 32:16
  god probably. I do, though, like the backstory of this race.
• 32:22
  I do like the backstory of how they got to where they are,
• 32:25
  the problems that they have, right, the forgetting and all that the forgetting
• 32:29
  the radiation from the stone Um which is which crashed on the planet, plus
• 32:34
  the rocks in the astra. I thought that was I thought that was really
• 32:37
  clever. And I like the scene where Spock and or take it are like,
• 32:40
  Okay, we need to pull away from the planet. Let's get let's
• 32:43
  go through the asteroids or to the other side of the asteroids and see if
• 32:46
  that'll shield us, and it just gets worse. Yeah. Oh that actually
• 32:51
  brought up something that I actually took a note about that. When I was
• 32:53
  watching the Chokes, I thought, you know, this is really kind of
• 32:57
  different for them because they didn't take the easy out that they could have that
• 33:01
  they've done in other shows where everyone is affected except one person like Spock,
• 33:08
  or one person is the one and that's the person who saves everybody, and
• 33:14
  they didn't do that this time. No, they had everybody affected by it,
• 33:19
  including you know, Spok, who had this brilliant idea give everybody their
• 33:22
  pads to remind them who they are, and then they forget how to read.
• 33:29
  Yeah, yeah, I was like, I thought that was I thought
• 33:32
  that was excellent how they did that, And it really just came down to
• 33:37
  it just came down to their instincts. Well, what was great about that
• 33:40
  is it came down to their instincts, and it came down to their gut
• 33:44
  feeling, because while it does affect your memory, it can't get rid of
• 33:49
  emotions. Well, Spok doesn't have any emotions, or at least they're buried
• 33:52
  down pretty deep, right, so he's affected the worst out of everybody,
• 33:57
  whereas normally the Vulcans are kind of less impacted, unless, of course,
• 34:00
  it's enterprise. What was that season one or season two and they're going through
• 34:06
  the the Delphic Expanse or whatever that was called, and all the Vulcans turned
• 34:09
  into raging mad lunatics. Yeah oh yeah yeah. But anyway, so I
• 34:15
  thought it was great. They needed they needed hooked on phonics. Yeah,
• 34:20
  Tea Bear didn't have a Jeffrey comb for Pike's hair. That was just that's
• 34:23
  that is That is perfection right there. Yeah, pretty spot on. Yeah,
• 34:30
  that is. I mean, overall, it was a good episode.
• 34:30
  I enjoyed it. I just have nitpicky things about it, as always.
• 34:34
  But yeah, I think it again that we're not I like it again that
• 34:38
  we're serialized or is that is that the right term? Where we're you know,
• 34:42
  everything's capitulated into one episode as opposed to continuing on and on and again.
• 34:45
  That's nice. Get in, tell the story, get out. I
• 34:50
  like that. Yeah, makes a good point. Yeah, I says this
• 34:54
  episode held the attention more than the previous three. Yeah. I I totally
• 34:58
  agree with that. It's more of what we expected from before. It's you
• 35:01
  know, yeah, it's a strange new world, even though they've been there
• 35:05
  before. For us, it's a strange new world. We get to explore
• 35:07
  a new, a new everything, and it was good and it used it
• 35:14
  used Pike finally as a main character, but it also still used Benga and
• 35:17
  law on Um for what they're there for. I mean, I thought that
• 35:21
  was funny that he picked out the two of them because he needed warriors to
• 35:23
  go with him, and um Benga was upset by that. Yeah. Yeah,
• 35:28
  it's like, I'm just want to be a doctor. Stop putting me
• 35:30
  these positions where I gotta kill people. That really makes sense. Passion is
• 35:36
  yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought the kind of like a little side
• 35:39
  note, I thought the acting on this was really good in terms of the
• 35:43
  memory with a memory loss in the cage on the first day, where they're
• 35:46
  you know, they're showing you know, totally you know, freaked out that
• 35:51
  these people are there. They don't know who they are, and I know
• 35:52
  it's all this acting one on one stuff, but I thought they really did
• 35:55
  a good job with that. This scene right here where they're walking around in
• 35:59
  the hall way and everyone's just confused. That like the guy in the corner
• 36:04
  just like terrified because he doesn't know what's going on. Yeah, I thought
• 36:07
  that was really good. And well, this is a good I was gonna
• 36:13
  say, the person in the background rocking that uh what that? I can't
• 36:15
  remember what that uniform is called with a little skirt, Oh yeah, um
• 36:20
  and heels apparently what everyone looks like just kind of stared at the wall like
• 36:24
  that's pretty Yeah. It highlights a stark difference between Discovery and Strange New Worlds.
• 36:35
  Really, not just from the not just the writing and everything else,
• 36:39
  but the character development and the acting ability of the cast. Yeah, the
• 36:45
  cast is actually able to perform, you know, the roles that are set
• 36:52
  out for them, whereas we don't. We didn't really get that in Discovery.
• 36:54
  Even Burnham wasn't able to necessarily act. Sometimes she could, um,
• 37:00
  but I don't think they gave her because Nico Martin Green is an excellent actress,
• 37:06
  But I just don't think they gave her anything to work with other than
• 37:08
  a few scenes. Nothing, nothing meaty, right, So whereas here they're
• 37:14
  giving them a lot of meat on the bone, and the actors and actresses
• 37:16
  that are playing these characters are actually able to deliver. So well, it's
• 37:22
  what we talked about, right, It's it's the whole difference of show don't
• 37:23
  Tell. Whereas Discovery, actors have a lot of declarative statements, but we
• 37:29
  don't see them pursuing their goals. We just see them saying what their goals
• 37:32
  are. Oh yeah, that's true. Yeah, Whereas in this show,
• 37:38
  like in Mega, right, he talks about he he doesn't want to be
• 37:40
  a soldier, but then you see him sad about it, and you see
• 37:44
  him like take the that that drug to be a fighter, and he's like
• 37:47
  very just I don't know, hesitant about it, right, yeah, right,
• 37:52
  but he also knows that he uses it. So like you see that
• 37:54
  reluctance, right, It's a it's a struggle, right, Y's the internal
• 37:59
  struggle of who do I want to be versus who am I really right in
• 38:02
  that right that specific case? Right, So we see those differences, right.
• 38:07
  You know it's so interesting because you just said that and you made me
• 38:09
  think about how many times in Discovery I heard the phrase we are star fleet.
• 38:15
  Yeah, these statements of what we are and what we believe in and
• 38:19
  all this stuff, as opposed to strange new worlds. They just get out
• 38:22
  there and do stuff, right, Um, and Scott, I really hope
• 38:27
  that you're kidding about not having seen the ts episodes that these are callbacks of.
• 38:30
  That's got to be a joke, I hope. So yeah, yeah,
• 38:37
  yeah, Paramount Kid, Yeah yeah. I mean for some people,
• 38:45
  they haven't seen um t us episodes or wouldn't know some of these these callbacks.
• 38:50
  So that's true, I think, And it's nice that you can watch
• 38:52
  them and not have the background, but I think it's nice to have.
• 38:55
  It's almost like, you know, it's like the Easter eggs, they're gifts
• 38:59
  for the fans. Yeah, sure to say, oh, I remember that,
• 39:01
  I know about that thing. I do wish they had done like remember
• 39:07
  that one episode of Discovery where they did like previously on stur Trek and it
• 39:09
  was like a big call back to the original. Oh yeah, if they've
• 39:15
  done something like that with this, that would have been kind of cool.
• 39:16
  Yeah, that would have been cool. Yeah, and they could have.
• 39:21
  Um, why is Lawn not super strong anymore? Yeah? This whole season.
• 39:27
  Yeah, she doesn't have anywhere near the quote unquote strength that she had
• 39:30
  in the last season. Because in the last season, you remember her actually
• 39:34
  fighting against Una and they were kind of on par with one another one on
• 39:37
  one, and UNA's supposedly super strong. She's augmented. Right, So she's
• 39:42
  genetically modified. I'll put it that way. Um in Lawn has carry over
• 39:45
  of the of them of being Una law On Vega and Chapel if they take
• 39:54
  their juice right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, I don't
• 40:00
  get why they've lessened her her strength in this entire season, but they really
• 40:06
  have underplayed that. I don't understand what the purpose of that is. Yeah,
• 40:12
  rewriting backwriting that, so she seems more normal, I don't know.
• 40:15
  Yeah, you were talking earlier chat about the actors. Something that I think
• 40:21
  is pretty cool about UM Strangely Worlds is that we have one or two.
• 40:28
  So we've got one actress who Rebecca who is I mean she has done movies
• 40:34
  and TVs. I mean she is. She is superstar. You know,
• 40:38
  she's phenomenal. So you expect her to come with an a game already with
• 40:45
  Christopher Pike, with him as he had acting experience, he had done a
• 40:52
  good amount of stuff, so you're like, Okay, he can carry it.
• 40:55
  But we've got a whole bunch of folks that we've never seen before or
• 41:00
  don't really know much about, and like or the person who plays Ortegas,
• 41:05
  and they are knocking it out of the park. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 41:08
  My hope is is that And I don't know because I haven't heard anything that
• 41:15
  shows this, but my hope is, and I think I think I would
• 41:19
  be able to say this for Rebecca remains stainless. I mean, she's a
• 41:21
  class act period, right, Yes, I would think that she would be
• 41:24
  there as a mentor for some of these young actors and actresses, helping them
• 41:28
  with their scenes or minds if they if they need it, or giving them
• 41:30
  advice if they need it. Um And the same thing with antson Mount.
• 41:34
  I feel I feel like he's the kind of guy who was definitely a class
• 41:37
  act and would be more than welcome or more than happy to help somebody with
• 41:40
  that. So, you know, all tides rise kind of situation. You
• 41:44
  got those clue right there, The remains that that can lift everything else else
• 41:49
  up around it and help if they need it. I don't know if they
• 41:52
  do or not. I have no idea. They all seem to be doing
• 41:53
  a fantastic job though. Yeah, Tye, I agree, that's casting the
• 41:57
  show light years ahead of Discovery. Like I'm sorry, I'm one of those
• 42:00
  people that really likes Discovery. I do. I mean, I know it
• 42:05
  has problems, but yeah, I like the concept. I liked going somewhere
• 42:09
  we hadn't been before, doing things that were different and reimagining. I really
• 42:13
  like that aspect of it. Um. Doug Jones fantastic. He's just,
• 42:20
  oh my word, the man, and he is he is a fanboy.
• 42:23
  You know, we saw him at convention. He he is just he is
• 42:29
  phenomenal. Um. But you know, you look back to Next Gen and
• 42:34
  with Next Generation, you know you had Patrick Stewart who had been in tons
• 42:38
  of stuff, but it was stage. It wasn't you know, it was
• 42:43
  theater. It wasn't a TV so who who knows? Um, all I
• 42:47
  can say is, hey, we got Jonathan Frakes is one hell of a
• 42:50
  director out of it. So um, if nothing else, but yeah,
• 42:54
  you know I've said this before Discovery. The cast isn't the problem. They're
• 42:58
  all very talented. It's just a material they've been given. Yeah, you
• 43:02
  know, yeah, that's that's been the issue and half the fun. That's
• 43:07
  right, Bronson, just the same thing I just said, yeah, exactly,
• 43:08
  that's is amazing that the writing is bad, exactly right, exactly right.
• 43:13
  Yeah. Yeah, And oh, by the way, you might want
• 43:17
  to mention the discord with the server for people to join in. I noticed
• 43:22
  a couple of new folks have joined lately. Oh that's right, yep,
• 43:24
  yep, yeah. We do have a We post random stuff in there sometimes
• 43:30
  we do. Yeah, And frankly you do, uh Daniels the man on
• 43:36
  Instagram? Yea with correct cast, you've got if you like the memes,
• 43:39
  Oh my word, go for it. You got to be there and see
• 43:42
  it. And on Facebook there's a face. Man. He's just pimping everything
• 43:47
  he is. He's doing good. He got the coffee account Kofi coffee accounts
• 43:54
  as well. You can also always go to treckcast dot com. And don't
• 43:58
  forget about Chad's voice. But that phone number, I'd have to look it
• 44:02
  up. Yeah, I gotta look it up too, otherwise I'd tell you
• 44:06
  the wrong number. Um, I'll tell you here in a second, because
• 44:08
  it's in my That phone number is eight one six two eight seven zero four
• 44:15
  four eight eight one six two eight seven zero four or four eight. Operators
• 44:20
  are not standing by. I will not answer the phone. I will not
• 44:23
  call you back, although if you leave a funny enough voicemail, I might
• 44:28
  And which roll funny is that you should call and leave a message because a
• 44:32
  lot of times I've noticed that Chad doesn't always listen to them before he plays
• 44:37
  them. All. No, no, I'm hearing them for the first time
• 44:42
  when they're on air, So you never know what we're gonna get there,
• 44:45
  you go, So I better go look now and make sure I haven't looked.
• 44:50
  Yeah, let's get to feedback. Yeah yeah, hey, all right,
• 45:02
  so brought in a question speaking of Easter eggs. Did you all think
• 45:07
  that the Cap and crew spending the night in the actual cage is a call
• 45:10
  back to the cage? Well, yeah, I mean certainly a good reference
• 45:15
  to it, that for sure. Yeah, they probably said that, Well,
• 45:19
  if we called that episode the cage, we should have cages. There
• 45:21
  should be one somewhere. Yeah, exactly, look a cage. Oh okay,
• 45:25
  good, we've done our job, Thank you, good night, everybody.
• 45:27
  That's funny. I went on a whiteboard somewhere for sure. Oh,
• 45:34
  oh, for sure. They probably drew little lines one of the top to
• 45:37
  make a little cage. Yeah, make sure there's make sure there's a logo
• 45:42
  somewhere for Federation logo in the background. Cages. You know, they all
• 45:46
  shook his hand when he came up with the idea. Yeah, yeah,
• 45:50
  brilliant, sir, you just go home for the day. You just made
• 45:52
  me think of something. The delta in the garden. Yeah, that was
• 45:57
  the whole reason for all of this coming up in the first place. Yep.
• 46:01
  Something about that just did not ring right for me. It's okay,
• 46:07
  so they all forget and you're only protected if you're in the building, right
• 46:14
  right, But someone's going out and carving deltas in the lawn for people to
• 46:22
  see from space, and and then he gets mad and I told him not
• 46:28
  to do that. It's like, but they forgot, you told them,
• 46:30
  I don't, I don't. Yeah, it had to be giant. Oh
• 46:36
  yeah, oh yeah, right, yeah, So what I mean, one
• 46:40
  day they're like, you know, tribbing the head, just as they go
• 46:43
  along every day, just following. Well, you get your memories back once
• 46:46
  you're back inside the once you're back inside the castle. Oh yeah, after
• 46:51
  a while, so yeah, all the damage gets undone. But yeah,
• 46:55
  just a little sticky to me as to yeah, how that came up.
• 47:00
  But okay, you know, we we we got there. So Mike Medina
• 47:05
  has a pretty interesting question. He says, isn't it a bit weird that
• 47:07
  the prequel series to cos seems to be leaning on TS for storylines. Shouldn't
• 47:13
  strange new worlds be setting up TS lore, yeah, instead of plane off
• 47:19
  of it. I mean, this is the second TS prequel series we've had,
• 47:24
  right, because Enterprise was that as well. Yeah, yeah, an
• 47:28
  Enterprise did also lean a lot on TS. So yeah, I think they're
• 47:35
  just following that they need to. They do need to be kinding that we
• 47:38
  need to find some new stuff. You know. That is one thing at
• 47:40
  least that Discovery did. Um. It did pull out new new races,
• 47:46
  new situations, new planets, stuff like that. So you know, it
• 47:50
  might be time to go back to Planet of the Week. Um please,
• 47:54
  Yeah, I like that. But you know that there's a lot of creativity
• 47:58
  that's required of that because they've got to come up with the planet, what's
• 48:00
  unique about it, tell us about the people, what are they gonna look
• 48:02
  like? And but that's not a big buck so yeah, that's not that
• 48:07
  hard. Yeah. You just make a giant wheel and you spend the wheel,
• 48:13
  all right, they have do they have flippers Warrior races? Yeah,
• 48:20
  they're right right, and they just pick up one of the three main antagonist
• 48:27
  races they've got so far for for strange New Worlds, cling ons, umn
• 48:35
  oh, landed on heads. They don't like the Federation. Yeah yeah,
• 48:38
  well then the Federation itself is always the evil as well sometimes right, oh,
• 48:44
  I know, how about bad They have a wheel of books and they
• 48:46
  have to Okay, this society is based on what American or English book they
• 48:52
  found it, okay, right, take all the in another wheel that has
• 48:57
  all the religions in the world, and it's been that. And then whatever
• 49:00
  lands on using to change his name, but change his name? Yeah,
• 49:06
  oh yeah. The Gorn War that oh yeah, yeah, man, that
• 49:10
  could be a whole New Dominion war thing if they do it right. But
• 49:13
  they don't have enough episodes left, so that's true. That's true, not
• 49:16
  in this season, but I mean the Gorner just a backline, overarching thing
• 49:21
  from last season to this season. Still, even when we see the shot
• 49:23
  of Admiral April showing the borderline within the problem with the Gorn as well.
• 49:29
  Yeah, so all right, let's play this voicemail work quick before you have
• 49:31
  anybody joined them here, so make sure I get it. Greetings, forecast
• 49:38
  and cast listeners. It is with a heavy heart that I report today that
• 49:45
  one of our pac led reviewers, Rundom, suffered from a rapid cranial detonation
• 49:52
  and died last week while reviewing the Star Trek Strange New World episode tomorrow and
• 49:58
  tomorrow tomorrow. We mourn the loss of our friend. Another Planet has graciously
• 50:07
  offered to step in and provide us a review for this week's episode. Oh,
• 50:14
  without further ado, the Whack a Doodle Homeworld probably present her Strange New
• 50:22
  World season two episode for among the lotus eaters. Oh wait, what was
• 50:34
  I talking about? Whackadoodle reviews? That was good, good funny. That
• 50:50
  was good. Yep, that was always count on Scott for those man,
• 50:53
  so good, so quick, so in, so tight and perfect love that.
• 51:00
  And we got a lot of people waiting, so we should we should
• 51:02
  move along. Yeah, all right, let's strow with t Bear. There
• 51:07
  he is. Hey, Hey, yes, long time no talk. Yeah
• 51:14
  no, I actually got up early enough to um actually join the show live
• 51:17
  this time. So that's nice as nice. Thanks man. Yeah you're out
• 51:22
  there, yep. I don't the West Coast and I'm in the USS Cerritos.
• 51:29
  Uh it's a California Class hitty. There you go. Yea, love
• 51:35
  it. But yeah, I've been joining this season. Um right, there's
• 51:40
  a lot of picking things to do or can you pick about? And I
• 51:47
  think it's getting better. I think think better. Um but yeah, I
• 51:52
  think it's going back to writings. And I think someone said last week it
• 51:58
  just feels like this first four episodes like the lowest budget of all of them.
• 52:01
  So I'm really curious what they're saving that budget up for if they if
• 52:07
  they, I think you mentioned that they didn't have a budget cut, but
• 52:10
  it's just allocation of funding, so right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 52:14
  And I'm wondering if I don't think animation costs out much, so I'm wondering
• 52:19
  if they're planning, like the last two episodes or something, to have some
• 52:22
  crazy CG budget or something. It could be, yeah, because those Goren
• 52:29
  CG is not cheap, so yeah, yeah, yeah, But yeah,
• 52:36
  that's a good point because we're definitely seeing a lot more use reuse of the
• 52:39
  sets that they've got, uh you know, a lot of interior like this
• 52:45
  with the interior shots and things like that. Um yeah, that's that's interesting.
• 52:52
  I wonder I hadn't really thought about it budget wise, But you're right,
• 52:54
  because you know, we're not seeing a lot of phaser battles, and
• 52:58
  which would be you know, more CGI that they require or non prosthetic aliens
• 53:02
  that you know do require CGI. So that's an interesting point. I haven't
• 53:07
  really thought about that when when they were when they're on the planet, they're
• 53:10
  using the new technology that the Mandalorian uses, so that reduces some costs to
• 53:16
  write as far as I'm assuming, Yeah, screen, yeah, yeah,
• 53:25
  a lot. Well. In in the in the interview on the Ready Room,
• 53:30
  Anson Mountain did mention that some of their budget have been freed up because
• 53:35
  they're no longer doing the covid um all those costs like screening and all.
• 53:40
  Yeah, so that that's quite a bit of budget room that can then go
• 53:44
  back to other things. So yeah, I just hope they reallocate some budget
• 53:50
  to some writing or maybe getting that Star Trek advisor, kind of like how
• 53:54
  Dan's always asking for a military advisor. Yeah, you need a Star Check
• 53:58
  advisor on the show I volunteers tribute. Yeah, no kidding a second that
• 54:04
  Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. I didn't see the preview
• 54:12
  for next week, so I have no idea. Did anybody see that?
• 54:15
  No? I didn't either, I know it's out somewhere, but yeah,
• 54:21
  they post I don't know where they post the actual clips, but I always
• 54:25
  see people doing on the Will Wheaton Show. Yeah, and then a few
• 54:32
  days later they posted by itself. Okay, it's usually also on YouTube.
• 54:37
  There's forgot what channel does that they don't post it. That's a weird like
• 54:40
  it sounds like they have like a cling on rap music as their intro ort.
• 54:44
  Yeah, there's a channel that clips it. There's a few of them
• 54:45
  that just clipping it out from the Will Wheaton Show. I did watch it
• 54:49
  yesterday, but I can't remember it, and I don't know if that's saying
• 54:52
  something about the clip not you had the forgetting I guess. So, Yeah,
• 55:00
  I shouldn't have gone so close to those asteroids. Yeah yeah, But
• 55:04
  who's your favorite Stranger World character? Ooh? I would have to say Lawn
• 55:13
  at this point really, especially after last the last episode when it was the
• 55:20
  rom comp scene. But as much as I was worried about that character from
• 55:25
  the start and where they would go with it, I think you're actually doing
• 55:30
  it right. Um, there's a lot of depth of the character and I
• 55:34
  think having that tie in isn't well they haven't screwed it up yet, But
• 55:39
  um, I think she's a pretty good range. And I think that's Yeah,
• 55:45
  maybe just because one of my favorite characters in the Expense was coming to
• 55:49
  drum Or too, so I don't know if that's playing a role, But
• 55:52
  yeah, I think you're like her character because she's the newest. Everybody else
• 55:54
  I know, I know who I know a number one to some extent.
• 55:59
  You know Pike, we know Chapel, and those are just slightly different takes
• 56:05
  on them. But I think Mom, just because it's something new, someone
• 56:08
  new. Um, she's definitely had the most character development, probably just about
• 56:15
  anybody, maybe except Pike. I mean, Una had a good amount last
• 56:20
  episode, but um, you're right, Lone, almost every episode this season
• 56:24
  there's been something major about. You could argue she's a more fully realized character
• 56:29
  even than Pike. Yes, yeah, I actually would. I agree with
• 56:32
  that. Yeah, and Ty I agree with you as well. Ethan Pecker's
• 56:36
  Spock is just he's killing man. He's great. Yeah, I'm sure what
• 56:42
  to think of him when they first showed up on Discovery, his hipster Spock
• 56:45
  with his long hair and beard and everything. But yeah, he's really done
• 56:51
  well. He's really done. Well, yeah, I really, honestly,
• 56:54
  I can't imagine him anybody else that they'd put in that now other than him,
• 56:58
  honestly. So right, Yeah, I think someone posted Facebook that she's
• 57:01
  Gregory Peck's grandson. Yeah, yeah, blew my mind. Oh yeah,
• 57:07
  I can see it now though. No, but now I see it,
• 57:09
  I'm like, oh, yeah, they're right, but yeah, I can
• 57:13
  see it. I was like, wow, that's probably where there's some good
• 57:16
  genetics, a genetics in there. A few years ago, Anton Mountain,
• 57:19
  he's got his own podcast, The Well, and he did an interview with
• 57:22
  Ethan Peck and they talk about that, and it's pretty neat to hear his
• 57:27
  story about his grandpa and all that. Yeah, I only listened to this
• 57:30
  podcast. I'm such a loyal listener. I'm checkout. I've got to send
• 57:35
  you your stuff. I keep thinking about it, and I keep forgetting for
• 57:37
  winning this stuff. The Jeopardy. Oh still haven't sent him is winning?
• 57:44
  He got too close to the planet t Bear Sorry, Yeah, yeah,
• 57:47
  I didn't forgot about it too. Yeah, I've got the boxes and everything.
• 57:52
  I just got to do it. Yeah, all right, anything else,
• 57:58
  We've got a few people, So thanks keep it up, and hopefully
• 58:01
  I get up early enough to get the rest of the live shows, and
• 58:06
  hopefully I'll see you guys in Vegas. All right, yeah, see there,
• 58:09
  all right, we got chatz musin as well, and then on day
• 58:15
  you got strong birds, so let's get chats us. Oh wow, there
• 58:19
  is in the darkness, and yeah, well I have plenty of light to
• 58:22
  share. Let's see three. There's four, actually there's four, well the
• 58:36
  reflections from the door, I think, or maybe that's another. I don't
• 58:38
  know, but there's four in the ceiling. I can see four in the
• 58:42
  night. What's right? Forget it? This has suddenly become like Dorothy Explorer.
• 58:50
  What do you see on the screen? Can you see the lights?
• 58:54
  Let's them prison here is doing? They still got the still got the prison
• 59:02
  uniform from the Fugitive Rock and the Treck cast hat love it. By the
• 59:08
  way, don't forget cast merchandise five stars on Facebook or on iTunes, on
• 59:19
  Spotify. Yeah yeah, right them on Spotify. That's all the things.
• 59:25
  Yeah yeah, yeah. What reminds me I haven't looked to see what our
• 59:30
  what our latest charitable numbers are. I'll look at that. Go ahead,
• 59:32
  Yeah, that's what's going on with you? Well, I'm just wondering,
• 59:37
  how would you guys feel if this season became was aired before a hard season,
• 59:47
  this was season and then yeah, oh um, your feelings changed or
• 59:53
  would you be like, oh no, hm hmm, would you be considered
• 59:58
  as concerned? I'm so Picard ended so strong. I mean, that was
• 1:00:07
  just like one of the best endings of a of a season. It just
• 1:00:14
  it was it completed so many things for all of us. Um, yeah,
• 1:00:20
  you almost kind of needed a palate cleanser after that. And I guess
• 1:00:22
  that's kind of where Strange New world fits in, because it's going to start
• 1:00:27
  something completely different, even though it's not completely different. Um, I don't
• 1:00:32
  know. That's that's a that's a really interesting question. And I'll bet somebody
• 1:00:37
  at Paramount was you know, had some serious discussions about that as terms of,
• 1:00:40
  you know, what order we do this in. Yeah, I think
• 1:00:45
  I'd still feel the same way about how Strange New Worlds has started versus last
• 1:00:51
  year, regardless of Picard coming out when it did. In fact, it
• 1:00:55
  had Piccard not aired at all, and this just a you know, having
• 1:01:00
  left over from last season's Strange World I'd probably even more disappointed. M yeah,
• 1:01:07
  because the first two episodes were just that bad. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:01:10
  yeah, And I wonder about his Pike's girlfriend is like, I know she's
• 1:01:17
  a captain, but then she's like a jag officer where she's a lawyer too,
• 1:01:22
  and she's whatever they need her to be. Yeah, like a jack
• 1:01:25
  of all trades. It is like, well, yeah, she's a utility
• 1:01:28
  player of starfleet apparently. Well, she's trying to get a promotion too,
• 1:01:31
  apparently, so she's doing promotion and then there's no like she can travel anywhere
• 1:01:37
  in the galaxy too super fast. She's right, yeah, exactly, And
• 1:01:43
  that kind of confuses me because they're supposed to be in kind of deep space
• 1:01:47
  right now exploring. But she comes back and pops like at the beginning episode
• 1:01:53
  and the end of the episode. So that's well. And I wonder how
• 1:01:58
  much we'll see of this love interest really, because like is she gonna die?
• 1:02:04
  Because no, no, no, just like, is it really a
• 1:02:07
  storyline you want to keep following? Well, the thing not really. He
• 1:02:10
  falls in love with the lady in the cage, right, and yeah,
• 1:02:15
  is the spot tikes her. It takes Pike to the planet so well,
• 1:02:21
  for those of you that don't know the actress that plays this this lady Um
• 1:02:25
  Pike's love interest is also there's also why RB yeah from the sci Fi Channel.
• 1:02:31
  Have you seen her in letter Kenny? No, No, it's on
• 1:02:36
  Hulu and she's she's the McMurphy's on there. And if you've seen them,
• 1:02:39
  they're like a couple. Melanie next, so you Melanie Grafano is her name.
• 1:02:47
  Okay, Oh, they can afford, they can afford more actors.
• 1:02:52
  They're just trying to throw ranches into this relationship because I think they're gonna kill
• 1:02:54
  her. Yeah. I think she's gonna be the fim fatal. Something's gonna
• 1:03:00
  happen. It's gonna hurt Pike. Yeah, because he really likes her.
• 1:03:04
  And then because he's got to meet the lady in the cage anyways, so
• 1:03:07
  we know that it's true relationship. Yeah. I love Howlejandra was talking about
• 1:03:15
  how Alejandra loves the eyeshadow lie liner that lawn wears, and I was like,
• 1:03:20
  oh, yeah, I hadn't really I didn't think about that, but
• 1:03:22
  you're right, hers is different than just what everybody else's. Yeah, always
• 1:03:25
  dug goth girls, So I can kick your ass you know Daniel's type.
• 1:03:32
  Now, by the way, I see in Facebook where I posted her music
• 1:03:37
  video. Yeah, really, it's great. I had no idea she was
• 1:03:42
  doing that. Yeah, no, no, she's been doing it for a
• 1:03:45
  while. She yeah, yeah, because you think she's like thirty nine or
• 1:03:51
  something. So oh so she's not the how she's hiding it? Well?
• 1:03:54
  Yeah, I was like, she's thirty nine years old and she's looks really
• 1:03:58
  good for her age. So yeah, what's her? The girl? Was
• 1:04:02
  it Jess Bush that plays Chapel? Yeah? She does uh murals? Really?
• 1:04:09
  Yeah, she posts pictures of her murals every now and though. So
• 1:04:13
  did you did you? Did you pick that up gentry what Jazz just said?
• 1:04:15
  I mean it was almost offensive. I didn't. She looks good for
• 1:04:20
  age, young dude, Okay, yeah, hey, Hollywood will put these
• 1:04:28
  actresses out the pasture? How they how they do things? I know how
• 1:04:32
  they are. They're evil? Yeah, anything else you want to bring up
• 1:04:39
  jazz biz before you cancel yourself. I can't even tell you how long ago
• 1:04:44
  thirty nine was because I can't even math that fast in my head. What
• 1:04:50
  do you have? Forty heads? Who cares? Yeah? You quick count?
• 1:04:56
  Let me tell you fifty you really go, who cares you were a
• 1:05:01
  fifty year? Like, I don't give a shit whatever, whatever it's gonna
• 1:05:06
  happen one day. Yeah, I just don't understand how this planet works.
• 1:05:15
  If nobody knows what their role is and what they're doing owing in the castle,
• 1:05:18
  they know, well, they have the helmets on, they protect them
• 1:05:21
  to remember the helmets. It was so weird. It's like all these pieces
• 1:05:27
  made out of that or yeah. Yeah, Doug mekes a good point.
• 1:05:30
  He already has met the lady in the cage. That's right. He met
• 1:05:32
  her in Discovery. Yeah, that's right. But he's got to meet her
• 1:05:35
  again. So he's gotta he has a forgetting. He forgot about her,
• 1:05:45
  and so Spot's gonna take her. And will that be the last episode of
• 1:05:48
  Voyager a Yager? Yes, yeah, Janeway will go back in time take
• 1:05:56
  him to that's the planet. Yeah. I love how play. I want
• 1:06:00
  to see ortegas um go and get a piece of the Ore or whatever it
• 1:06:04
  is it surrounds the planet and just like keep it in a in a in
• 1:06:09
  a steel box or something, and every time she gets in trouble for something,
• 1:06:12
  she just opens up the box to her you know, they forget what
• 1:06:15
  happened, what exactly. And it was weird too that it affected the ship.
• 1:06:19
  I know, they're like, I guess deflector shield was off or something,
• 1:06:24
  but it was weird that it affected the crew just because they're around the
• 1:06:28
  planet. Well, at the end of the episode they said that Spot had
• 1:06:32
  to do something different with the shields to keep that radiation out right or whatever
• 1:06:40
  it was, and then right Spot fixed it. It's good. Yeah,
• 1:06:45
  that's pretty much. Yeah, that's the logic of this show is Spot fix
• 1:06:50
  it. Don't worry, We're done. Yeah, yeah, Scott, Yeah,
• 1:06:56
  Spox fixed it. Magic Blood. Yeah. Other issue I have with
• 1:06:59
  it is these episodes are really really long, and I think these episodes would
• 1:07:03
  be tighter if they shortened it, maybe to forty two minutes forty two minutes
• 1:07:08
  like their series, because you'd have a tighter episode and you could edit it.
• 1:07:14
  I'm grand second. I went every second of Really Trek, I can
• 1:07:19
  get so if they're going to drag it, I'd rather have it a little
• 1:07:23
  bit fast paced, get to the point, and then well it was a
• 1:07:27
  it was a slow episode on purpose. Um, you know, but but
• 1:07:31
  I get what you're saying. It was it was a little bit um slow
• 1:07:35
  in certain scenes. Yeah, for sure. It's reminded me of of the
• 1:07:42
  Orville season three, where the episode over an hour, and in the Orvial
• 1:07:47
  season three, he just felt so long. That dragged. Yeah, it
• 1:07:51
  dragged, because that's the thing is like, if you're over an hour,
• 1:07:55
  you had to fill that hour with writing and other stuff. Yeah. And
• 1:08:00
  oh, I found a looks like a log line for next week's episode.
• 1:08:04
  Okay. It's called Charades, and it says a shuttle accident leads to Spoks
• 1:08:11
  vulcan DNA being removed by aliens, making him fully human and completely unprepared to
• 1:08:16
  face the Pring's family, so hijinks. Yeah, so it's like that would
• 1:08:30
  be fun. Yeah. Haven't we been here done that already? Yeah,
• 1:08:32
  we've done it once before season Yeah. Yeah, I checked it. It's
• 1:08:36
  season two, episode five, and I thought that too the first time I
• 1:08:41
  read it. Okay, Oh boy, I was sorry the musical episode.
• 1:08:45
  I'm dreading that one because I hate musicals. So no, no, all
• 1:08:49
  right, wait a minute, I know, I know, I know what's
• 1:08:51
  gonna happen. There's gonna be a transporter accident and Spok is gonna be split
• 1:08:58
  into two people. He's gonna be human, he's gonna be vulcan. People
• 1:09:04
  comes out of nowhere, time traveling. He decides that they have to kill
• 1:09:08
  them in order to survive. She's gonna say, we have to kill them
• 1:09:13
  both. We have to be sure. Yeah, we're gonna play that music.
• 1:09:15
  But no, no, no, He's like, I finally have a
• 1:09:21
  chance to make something right. Instead of putting one person back into two,
• 1:09:26
  I'm putting two people back into one. The circle is I'm making two people
• 1:09:30
  into none. Yeah. I would watch that episode. I really would watch
• 1:09:41
  that episode. Ye, so entertaining. Alright, oh my words. All
• 1:09:55
  right, and finally we got strong Beard finally last, but not least right.
• 1:10:03
  Yeah, Oh my goodness, Chaz Biz, I got something to say
• 1:10:08
  to you about age. I am not old, even though I just and
• 1:10:13
  this is a true story. Two days ago got fitted for bifocals. So
• 1:10:17
  yeah, yeah, Gentry, how are you doing? Man? Good to
• 1:10:21
  see you, man, good to see you. Yeah. I don't think
• 1:10:25
  we've been face to face since Chicago. That's right. Yeah, it's funny
• 1:10:30
  because you're talking about bifocals. I've now gotten to the point where I can't
• 1:10:34
  read my phone without glasses now, right, Yeah, getting to that point
• 1:10:38
  too, So yeah, it's coming. I'm only forty four, so I'm
• 1:10:43
  one of the younger old ones. Yeah. Once you hit it's it's not
• 1:10:48
  a joke. You hit forty and something just goes off just a little bit.
• 1:10:53
  And as time goes on, like when you hit fifty, y're like,
• 1:10:56
  oh crap, I can't get away with it anymore. I have to
• 1:10:59
  now have glasses to look at stuff. Yeah. Yeah, it happens slowly.
• 1:11:02
  You're right when it when you hit forty, it's like you start squinting.
• 1:11:05
  Now my vision is the same. It's fine. I'm good. I
• 1:11:09
  don't need Advisor yet. I guess I'm get an oil filter from the from
• 1:11:15
  the garage, right. So um, yeah, Chad, that uh that
• 1:11:23
  whackadodle review was for you. Yeah. I hope everybody. I hope everybody
• 1:11:29
  else got that. So yeah, But as far as um and Gentry,
• 1:11:34
  don't I have not seen all the episodes of the original series. Um,
• 1:11:41
  at least I'm not sure if I have, because I remember watching some of
• 1:11:45
  them when I was a little bit younger. Um, but I don't,
• 1:11:47
  you know, I don't. It's not like I you know, I've got
• 1:11:50
  certain things of original serious that I stuff that I I have and stuff like
• 1:11:58
  that phasers put this away. But I am familiar with the original series and
• 1:12:06
  um, but no, I mean i'd be curious from all the Treck cast
• 1:12:12
  people maybe on Facebook, if they've seen every episode of the original series.
• 1:12:16
  Now, I'm a die Hyde Star Trek fan, and I've seen every single
• 1:12:20
  episode of every other series more than three or four times. Maybe save for
• 1:12:27
  the newer stuff, I haven't seen every newer episode more than once. Um,
• 1:12:31
  but you know, Deep Space nine, Voyager Enterprise, Um, I've
• 1:12:36
  watched each one of those series. Next Generation, I've watched each one of
• 1:12:40
  those series at least a half a dozen times. Yeah, And that's one
• 1:12:44
  of the things I like about Trek is that you can go back even if
• 1:12:48
  you know what's going to happen. You know, even if you remember the
• 1:12:51
  storyline, you can still go through it and watch it anyway. Now,
• 1:12:54
  I'm old enough that I watched t os in the original res in the seventies.
• 1:13:01
  Um, and when that when it was coming on, and then that's
• 1:13:05
  where my love of it started. I Mean, I remember the excitement over
• 1:13:10
  a Star Trek movie being made okay for the first time ever. Of course,
• 1:13:15
  you know, it's like wow, Grandpa. I also remember when Star
• 1:13:20
  Wars came out, the original and we had never seen lasers on screen before.
• 1:13:26
  No one had ever seen that. No one had ever done that before,
• 1:13:30
  blaster you know shots and lightsabers thing, no one had ever done that
• 1:13:34
  before. So it was an incredible thing to see. And Star Trek the
• 1:13:39
  motion picture, I mean, it was just, you know, it was
• 1:13:44
  a geek's dream that this movie happened. So yeah, that's that's how I
• 1:13:47
  came to the original series and then watched them all and then you know,
• 1:13:50
  Next Generation because the you know, the movies did so well and then they
• 1:13:55
  announced Next Generation. It's just like, oh my word, it's gonna be
• 1:13:57
  incredible. And of course everybody is the geeks all came out and went they
• 1:14:00
  can't replace Kirk, No one will ever be like Kirk. And you're like,
• 1:14:04
  no, they're not. It's gonna be different. And watch right,
• 1:14:08
  you see, the first uh, Star Trek movie I saw in the theater
• 1:14:11
  was Generations. So I became a Star Trek fan right around nineteen ninety ninety
• 1:14:15
  one when The Undiscovered Country came out, um, and I didn't see that
• 1:14:18
  in the theater. So but I'm I'm thinking and and maybe the people in
• 1:14:24
  the in the Facebook group could give me some encouragement. Should I Should I
• 1:14:30
  just suffer for myself and start watching the original series and its entirety? I
• 1:14:35
  mean, should I just start with the cage and just yes? Because it
• 1:14:40
  seems like I tried doing that a couple of times. And yes, there
• 1:14:45
  word hard. You know when he's mind melding with a piece of lasagna.
• 1:14:51
  If you watch you don't, Yeah, not lag, that's pizza the hut.
• 1:14:57
  Pizza the hut. Yes, what he does the mind meld with the
• 1:15:00
  to the hut. You're kind of like, really, really, I've seen
• 1:15:02
  a lot of these episodes, you know, I've seen you know the um
• 1:15:06
  you know obviously, things like City on the Edges Forever and yeah, and
• 1:15:11
  um the one where Kirk uh Balance of Power. Uh, you know,
• 1:15:16
  so I've seen some of these, but I haven't. I haven't done a
• 1:15:19
  deep dive into into the original. So many things that I think that you'll
• 1:15:25
  you'll be so many more Easter eggs that you'll pick up on quickly because you've
• 1:15:30
  watched them, and then they're there are other things that are deeper, like,
• 1:15:34
  um, Trelane is Trelane a Q or not? Right? Um,
• 1:15:39
  you know the Squire Squires, they are all of these different things that come
• 1:15:44
  up. Um. Yeah, it can be hard to go back and watch
• 1:15:46
  them, but it's it's the template, um, that everything's built off of.
• 1:15:51
  And um, yes it yeah it, Like Ty says, it can
• 1:15:57
  be hard, you know, to push through and if you just can't do
• 1:16:00
  it, okay, skip through the episode and get to the next one and
• 1:16:03
  keep going because they're going to be you know, there are winners when they
• 1:16:05
  are losers, but there aren't that many of them. So, oh,
• 1:16:10
  I just thought of something. Maybe I could do an occasional pack led review
• 1:16:14
  of some of the original series episode. Oh there you go. So what's
• 1:16:19
  hard for me is I can rewatch old Adam West Batman and enjoy that to
• 1:16:25
  this day. Yeah, and it's in the same time period as t OS
• 1:16:30
  right. Well, for some reason, TuS seems so much more difficult to
• 1:16:32
  rewatch sometimes, well because we have a lot of I mean, I know
• 1:16:35
  we've got a lot of new Batman stuff to pull from too, but I
• 1:16:40
  think since Star Trek has such a resurgence right now and I mean it's bleeding
• 1:16:46
  edge technology with the sets and with the special effects and things. I think
• 1:16:50
  that's there's such a huge chasm between you know, Picard and the original series
• 1:16:57
  and Strange New Worlds in the original especially with Strange New Worlds in the original
• 1:17:00
  series, because they're supposed to be set sort of at the same time,
• 1:17:02
  on the same set, with the same ship, some of the same people.
• 1:17:05
  So that's what's going to be start. That was one of the ones
• 1:17:12
  I was thinking of, like how am I going to get through this?
• 1:17:14
  But there was something like what eighty episode seventy nine episodes of the original series,
• 1:17:18
  So I mean I could knock out seventy nine episodes of Deep Space nine
• 1:17:23
  in a weekend. So I'll see what I can do. And speaking of
• 1:17:27
  Strange New Worlds, um no, I don't think anybody's brought up the fact
• 1:17:30
  that, uh Pike in this woman captain what's her face? Yeah, captain
• 1:17:39
  girlfriend. Now she was in the pilot episode of Strange New Worlds. Oh
• 1:17:45
  yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so they've been together this entire time,
• 1:17:49
  yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Then Pike cheated on her with the
• 1:17:54
  woman from the planet where they sacrificed the kid. M Oh, that's right.
• 1:18:00
  I mean, well they were on a break. I think we got
• 1:18:02
  a break. Okay, Yeah, I don't think I don't think Ross and
• 1:18:06
  Rachel see it that way. I don't think she would see it that way.
• 1:18:10
  Um, no, probably not. It's not cheating if it's if it's
• 1:18:14
  a different planet. Oh okay, okay, yeah, it's also not cheating
• 1:18:19
  if it's just for diplomacy's sake. That's right. Is that what? That
• 1:18:23
  was? Definitely the secondary directive interstellar open relationships? Okay, yeah, okay,
• 1:18:30
  because yeah, when um, when I saw her again and they're like
• 1:18:33
  talking about being exclusive to each other in this past episode, I'm liken't wait
• 1:18:38
  a minute. Yeah, he totally slept with that one alien chick. Yeah
• 1:18:45
  that's true. Yeah, but what does exclusive mean? Really? But are
• 1:18:48
  they not explorers? Clearly you're not married, right, yeah, because if
• 1:19:00
  you worried your wife was in the next room. Yeah, I'd have to
• 1:19:06
  finish out the episode as another guest. Yeah, um, Daniel, one
• 1:19:15
  thing before I let you guys go, Um, there is something that might
• 1:19:18
  be in the mail for you. Um, but it was a sort of
• 1:19:26
  an experiment. So when you may or may not get this item. I'd
• 1:19:30
  like you to open it and see if it worked. Okay. So it's
• 1:19:34
  a little something, so you should be getting it sometime this week. So
• 1:19:41
  dot a glitter bomb and nothing dangerous. Okay. So um that's about it.
• 1:19:45
  Well I'll let you guys go and get on with it. Gentry did
• 1:19:49
  a fantastic job. So thank you. Um. Always good to see you
• 1:19:54
  guys, and uh hopefully we'll see you next week. Sounds good. Thanks,
• 1:19:59
  sounds good. Right, take your guys. He's got awesome. So
• 1:20:02
  we've also got um a voicemail that comes from the email. Oh okay,
• 1:20:10
  uh from from across the pond. Oh yes, Thomas Morris. Nice.
• 1:20:14
  So i'll play that here in a second. It's exactly right. Um,
• 1:20:18
  so, uh, just go over one another thing. I always like to
• 1:20:21
  talk about charitable stuff. Um, we're still in the top one fifty in
• 1:20:26
  Great Britain, in Canada and in Germany. Okay, so that's pretty good.
• 1:20:32
  Yeah, that's great northern rankings outside of those three, but for television
• 1:20:36
  review podcasts. So as the saying goes, Okay, Timothy Morris, I
• 1:20:42
  said Thomas Morris. I meant Timothy Morris, Hello boys, much love as
• 1:20:45
  always, tim and here's his He actually wrote that in his Email's great it's
• 1:20:53
  pulling up. How about my name is Tim and h I have a man
• 1:21:00
  crush on handsome mounts. Yes, hello boys son. I had to get
• 1:21:08
  that out of my system because all the time I was watching this episode,
• 1:21:11
  I was thinking, my god, you are very handsome, and if I
• 1:21:15
  had hair, I wanted to look like yours. Um, right, do
• 1:21:20
  you know what. I actually quite enjoyed this episode. It seemed a little
• 1:21:26
  bit more Star Trek, you know. Um, I made a couple of
• 1:21:30
  notes hit very quickly. Um. I just enjoyed the whole beginning. I
• 1:21:35
  like answer. I like when Hanson Mountain is in it. I think he's
• 1:21:39
  a very good actor. And any anytime he's talking that at the beginning with
• 1:21:44
  in his quarters with Una, that wasn't Una was it was it Missus.
• 1:21:47
  Sometimes I get them a bit mixed out because they look quite similar. Um,
• 1:21:53
  you know, the captains can't date and all that. That was quite
• 1:21:56
  nicely done. Um, it looked really nice. Now. I know it
• 1:21:59
  was obviously in places that it was done in studio, but I thought some
• 1:22:03
  of the landscapes and the backdrops were very nice. Although I was taken out
• 1:22:12
  of it quite often by the fake steam coming out of their mouths. You
• 1:22:16
  know, they did it for a couple of scenes where you see this steam
• 1:22:19
  coming out of their mouth and they're talking to represent that it's quite cold.
• 1:22:23
  But then they did away with it, and I thought, well, that's
• 1:22:26
  in the studio. Studios are never cold, they're very hot. So that
• 1:22:30
  drew me out of it a little bit. One thing I didn't like about
• 1:22:36
  it was that horrible tinatus ringing was starting to do my head in turn.
• 1:22:41
  I had to send the volume down every time. I found that rather annoying,
• 1:22:45
  and I've seen quite a bit of that on social media that people who
• 1:22:47
  suffered from the tinatus weren't having a great time with it. The bloke but
• 1:23:00
  was sort of helping them through it. I've seen him something before. He
• 1:23:02
  reminded me a little bit of Duncan McNeil, Robbie Duncan McNeil, the way
• 1:23:10
  he looks now, but it wasn't him, but he had that sort of
• 1:23:13
  look about him. I've seen him in Star Trek before, but I couldn't
• 1:23:15
  I couldn't place it. The only thing it was quite quick, wasn't it.
• 1:23:21
  How they all got their memory back, and I thought, what have
• 1:23:24
  I missed here? What have I missed? And it was obviously as they
• 1:23:28
  come out of the debris field, but that was that was just done a
• 1:23:32
  little bit quickly for my liking. But I'll tell you what, it was
• 1:23:38
  the best episode of the season so far. Yeah, I quite enjoyed it.
• 1:23:42
  And I didn't see myself roll in my eyes all the time like I
• 1:23:47
  had been recently. So yeah, yeah, I hope it improves him here
• 1:23:51
  and yeah, I'd rather enjoyed it. Boys. I know it's probably a
• 1:23:57
  bit of a surprise and a bit of a shock to you, but certainly
• 1:24:00
  the best one of the seasons so far. Pulled up at Asda now,
• 1:24:04
  which I think is equivalent of I don't know, Costco. I think over
• 1:24:11
  there, it's some pizza and beer for tonight, because that's what we do
• 1:24:15
  here on a Saturday night, drink pizza and eat beer. Yes, that's
• 1:24:20
  what I said. Anyway, boys, love you very much, and if
• 1:24:25
  I can find the pause button, I will. I'll see you next time,
• 1:24:29
  Love you bye. He is awesome. Pizza and beer is very American.
• 1:24:34
  That is great. It was like a good Saturday night to me.
• 1:24:38
  Yeah. For sure, for sure. You know he was bringing that up
• 1:24:41
  about the about the noise. Yeah, that also reminded me. In the
• 1:24:46
  in the Will Wheaton Show, Anton Mount did mention that one of the things
• 1:24:50
  that's kind of wonky for them as actors is on the volume on that stage,
• 1:24:57
  the backgrounds move with the camera, right, so sometimes in the corner
• 1:25:00
  of your eye things shift because they camera and so like, if you're not
• 1:25:06
  paying attention, it can really mess with your equilibrium, Yeah, and kind
• 1:25:11
  of give you like a loozy feeling. So he's like, you have to
• 1:25:15
  focus on stuff ahead of you while it's doing that or else it'll it'll kind
• 1:25:20
  of get you. I never thought about that as an issue, but yeah,
• 1:25:25
  your peripheral is going to see movement right while you're looking at this thing
• 1:25:29
  that's not moving, and it's like, yeah, yeah, that's pretty wild.
• 1:25:32
  Yeah. He's like, they all have their their areas. They look
• 1:25:36
  to make sure that they're okay, but they'll get you. So jazz Biz
• 1:25:41
  asked what kind of pizza, and I'm gonna say he was since he was
• 1:25:44
  drinking his pizza and eating his beer, he was probably having pizza soup from
• 1:25:46
  Chicago. The head flown in he strikes me as a meat lovers fan.
• 1:25:51
  Yeah, probably, Yeah, just all the animals on top of that pizza.
• 1:25:58
  All of the animals. It's like Noah's ark up in there, every
• 1:26:05
  kind of every kind. Yeah yeah, awesome, welling up. No,
• 1:26:15
  no, it's good. Uh that's everything that got on the on the feedback
• 1:26:16
  side for me. Yeah same here, awesome, good episode. Yeah,
• 1:26:21
  yeah, thanks so much for being here, gentry. Oh my god.
• 1:26:26
  Absolutely love it and time. I'm always happy to do it. You guys
• 1:26:30
  are fun to be with. The show is fun. It's fun to be
• 1:26:32
  a fan that gets to, you know, interact with with the celebrities.
• 1:26:39
  So, you know, thank you. I gotta bring this up real quick.
• 1:26:42
  What is he just flashing the Yeah I just grabbed him yesterday. Yeah,
• 1:26:50
  run is throwing up the Oh no sorry whenever I um uh this,
• 1:26:57
  I keep listening to the so through this, and then I remember that you
• 1:27:02
  probably can see me in the corner and my reactions, and then I remembered,
• 1:27:06
  like, I'm not trying to stalk you guys at that kind. But
