  Speaker 5: Yeah, it has been for sure.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Well should we should we get into the news
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: and the insanity.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Let's do it, all right, Star Trek news.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: All right, so our first news story comes to us
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: from the Hollywood Reporter. And remember, kids, that Paramount has
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: said that Star Trek was going to be a priority.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: But I keep telling you, guys, what they say and
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: what they do are two different things. Watch what they do,
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: not what they say. So they've created a new sports division.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be led by Jesse Siggled and uh, they're
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: gonna do all sorts of sports on the Paramounts now
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: that they bought that UFC contract for the next ten
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: years or whatever it is. So a lot of sports
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: are coming to Paramounts.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So they're talking about they're talking about buying, buying
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: WB buying Warner Brothers. This sounds to me, those two
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: stories together, Yeah, sounds to me like they're trying to
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: rival Disney, because doesn't Disney.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Own ESPN at the point they do.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so that's what this sounds like to me.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh, they absolutely are. Oh well, look there's Max.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Greetings from Ireland.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Nice, what's up?
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: What's going on? Yeah? Another ship on the Barbie.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, that's Australia. But you know, I was about
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to claim that I've been to Ireland, but I didn't
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: want to sound ridiculous because I did it. I had
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a lay over there once.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so they're gonna developed all sorts of you know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: live sports and programming and unscripted sports. They do have
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: a background. Sky Dance does have a background in sports.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: They've done some shows for Netflix that are sports based,
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: so it's not sports.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So so like American Ninja Warrior type stuff, probably
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: is all sports unscripted.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: I mean it depends on who you ask.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, every year at the Super Bowl there's you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Reddit and and uh in Twitter, you get filled with
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: the script for the Super.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Bowl, right right, I'm not sports like you know, everybody
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: can turn on ESPN five and see, like, you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the the National Cornhole Competition or whatever, you know. And
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying I don't like cornhall. I love corn hole,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: but is it the kind of stuff we're gonna be
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: seeing on Paramount Plus.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: You keep saying that you want to do a cornhole
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: episode too, don't you.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I'd love to do let's do a corn whole episode,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that's right.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: You know what I've just decided the next I've been
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out what what I've made.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Some Uh, I made a Michigan themed cornhole.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I made uh like Army and Harley themed cornhole boards.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Before I think I'm gonna make a star Trek.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I'm saying cornhole has another meeting.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Do you not like the sport of cornhole? Corn Hole's
• 7:47

• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Cornwall, Uh, I know, I know it is, but I
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: can't help. But wonder who who picked that name for
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Obviously somebody who something else.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Very gentlemen.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, corn hole, I mean it's it's a you know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it's a bag of corn that you throw. Yeah, I mean,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: what are you trying to turn the show into, Dan,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: All right, So yeah, so they're gonna try to listens.

  Speaker 6: So our next new story comes from from Comic Book
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Resources CBR, and we are getting an update on a
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: potential Captain Kirk spinoff show. You guys heard about this
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: that they want to make a Kirk spinoff show, no.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Show about Captain Kirk. I think it's called Star Dark.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they want to do a show before he takes
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: command of the Enterprise, and they want to call it
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Star Trek Year one.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: But it's not year one.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Right, and it's not even Kirk's year one, you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I know, you know.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: This reminds me of This reminds me of when Rogue
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Won came and it was like, oh, is this the
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: first one? No, No, it's actually the it's actually like
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: the seventh one.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, right, who's idea is this?
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: So it would be Secret Hideouts, which is Alex Kurtzman's company.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Apparently they are working on a you know, on a pitch,
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: and they're just excited to do Start Trek Year one.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: It would all be about Kirk and is leading up
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: to running the enterprise.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: That's all we know about it. They're they're working on it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: It may or may not happen. Yeah.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: What's rolling around in my head is what the mentality
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: is of the of the showrunners and why God, I
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: hate to beat it dead horse, but why.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Are they not?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Why doesn't anybody have the finger on the pulse of
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the fan base. You know, we've got people screaming legacy. Yeah,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and then and then the show runners is Kirtsman Company
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: is just like, oh, you want what you want?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: What?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's let's go in the opposite direction of that, right, right,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: So so you want you don't want to show about Kirk.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: You don't want to show that's set in this timeframe.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: That's what we're going to do. Yeah, nobody's asking for
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: a show about Kirk.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Nobody's asking for that show.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Kirk's been done, yeah, many times by many green women.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Done. We want to show that's set in the early
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth century. That's what everybody wants.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, I know, but this, this is what
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: they want to give us. So that's annoying.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: They want to give us twenty second century, they want
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: to give us thirty first century.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: But nothing in the picard time like okay.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: Nope, all right, all right, And our last news story
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: comes to us today from trekmovie dot com. And now
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: that the sky Dance Paramount merger has kind of settled
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: and they're making their plans and they're doing their things,
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: you wouldn't believe it, but Zachary Quinto has begun beating
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: the drum for Star Trek four.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: And he has.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: Gone on to say that, hey, you know, now that
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: the merger is done, I think it's time to revisit
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: Star Trek.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: It's been ten years since the last movie. Let's do it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: He's ready to go.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: I think I think Zach has.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Spent all his Star Trek three money. I think that's
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: what's happening.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I get that really.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's on some network shows. He's making money.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: It's not broke, but you know.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe he has a gambling addiction.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: That would be logical.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, raise your hands if you've been clamoring for
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a Star Trek four.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: I kind of feel like Startrey three was a natural ending.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: It was, it was fine.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: It was it can be its own thing. It's just
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: his own, standalone thing that doesn't need to be kicking
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: it was great. I love the Star Trek JJ trilogy.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: It's its own little standalone thing.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you know, it's like kind of like The
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Batman if they kept the Batman as the Batman was
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: great as its own standalone thing. It's over there, Okay.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna be an other world. It'll be great.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's just keep it over there where it belongs,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: I mean, if Zacharykonna just wants to cut his hair
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: into a bull cut, that's fine. You know, he doesn't
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: have to do the movie. You can just go to
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: Super cuts, gig a bowl.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: It'll be fine.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's upgrade super you can use.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: I would love to see his Spock interview Evan Pex
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Spock in character.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: That would be fascinating as a joke, as like a
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: joke bit.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be great. It'd be funny, great. Yeah. And
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: there's a ton of websites that could make that happen.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: There's a ton of like, you.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: Know, a lot of a lot of AI sites.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Well no, no, no, I'm talking about there's a lot of
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: studios like webs like like.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, like college humor or something like that.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Right, that's the college humor is what I was thinking of.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: But there's a lot of there's a lot of websites
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that have the resources and the connections that could make
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that happen.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a studio Go Paramount that could make that happen.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: They're the ones that do the Star Trek stuff, right,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I believe so yeah, okay, yeah that would be fun.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: They could put it right over an episode of Star
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Trek Scouts.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I didn't watch that, by the way.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Oh I watched it. We got to talk about it. Yeah,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Wills do's I prefer the pine Quinto version of Kirk Smock. Yeah.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: You know what, they did have a pretty good chemistry
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: they did.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: They did because I haven't seen that chemistry yet in
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Strange New Worlds, and I don't think we're maybe we're
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: not meant to see it quite yet.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: I think this episode is supposed to show then and
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: why hyeah.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I like the little meme going around of it's it's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: it's it's.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Supposed to be a movie or a TV show like, uh,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: poster and it's Pike and he's and it's basically like,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: why is Kirk on my ship?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Again?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Cause they keep coming up with these reasons why you
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: know this the first officer of the Farragut, you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: is odd the Enterprise again and again, and like why
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: is it even? My wife and I were watching the episode,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: and she's like, if there's this crisis and and the
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: captain needs to reach out, why would the first officer
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: be talking to the Enterprise the Enterprise. Why isn't of
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the of the Farragut talking, you know?
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: And they showed the captain of the ferry gud and
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: she's just like sitting back there like a mob boss.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: Doesn't talk to anybody.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Right, right, Yeah, you talk to the lieutenants. You don't
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: get hold of me.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Don't look over the eyes directly.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I wonder the actress wasn't available and in the background.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, maybe maybe maybe, But.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's more of we want to integrate Kirk.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's really what it is. But all right,
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: well that's all the news stories. It's yeah, and you
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: and Dan, you're right. They do want to take a
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: shot at purchasing Warner Brothers. Apparently from Warner Brothers side,
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: they have been saying that they believe Paramount will come
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: in with a low ball offer, and so they don't
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: think it'll be serious. And David Zaslov has said that
• 16:54

• 16:59
  Speaker 6: and Paramo Mount to get that top top dollar for
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: Warner Brothers.
• 17:03

• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Not No feels like when Kmart bought Sears, Like why
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: is paramount that who's by all accounts been struggling? Right,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: you're gonna buy Warner Brothers like well, like.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: Any financial an analysts like Dave Ramsey or Caleb Hammer
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: will tell you if you're broke, just keep spending money.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Eventually exactly, Yes, Dave Ramsey AIG is a big advocate
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of that. Maybe getting debt too Paramount, he tells you
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to double down, Yeah, borrow a billion dollars.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Basically, David Ellison, the new owner of the sky Dance Paramount,
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: his dad is a multi multi billionaire, runs and owns Oracle,
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: so they have unlimited money.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Basically, they'll just do.
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: Whatever the hell they Ddy can bail them out when
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: he's daddy can bail them out. So he's got his
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: place studio and that's neat.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I need to take my blood pressure medication because
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sick of Yeah. Star Trek four.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: All right, well let's uh, let's get to the main
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: topic season three at the end of it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: So fun will now come out.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Uh so we're doing civilizations.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we're finally here, finally came out, and now it's over.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I'm glad it's over. Yeah, Seas was not the greatest
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: season of Star Trek.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: It was a rough watch for sure.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I I pointed out. I talked to
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: other Star Trek podcasts on TikTok and somebody had pointed
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: out that it felt like all the subscripts were rush
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: and I said, yeah, that that seems like everything was
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: a first draft. And then somebody else pointed out the
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: fact that they wrote these during the strike, So there's
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: a strong potential these all were first drafts.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, said.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, which makes it make a lot more sense why
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: they're this way. Oh did Dan Freeze?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he did.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I've got the tagline for this one, the plot summary
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: if you want to it, and this is from IMDb.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: When an ancient evil.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Resurfaces, Pike faces a life altering choice to stop it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I mean it's not really yeah, kinda, I mean Okay,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: let's talk about it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: The the the nurse from the episode three episodes ago
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: that we already forgot about.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I like the character. He was energetic, he yeah, he
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: got he got ghosted and turned evil and then they
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: defeated him and I kind of thought and hope that
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: was the end of the story.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: And then they they brought him back as the big evil,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: ancient bad guy.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the best part of this episode. By
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the way, Scotty in a kilt in a kilt version
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: of the Starfleet uniform. I loved it.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was pretty dope.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: I I wish it was.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish it was part of like a real actual,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: like I don't know, promotion ceremony or wedding or funeral
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: or something that would have been great.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: What he needed a sword and did you glare himself
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: the islander.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And and a yeah, set of bagpipes.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Like I thought when I saw the still shot of
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: this early in season, I thought this was gonna be.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: For a memorial service.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: And the fact that he just got punked the way
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: that Ohura got punked in the very first episode. M hm, Okay,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: that was funny, you know.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I do like that bit. I do like that
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: they do a little bit of rasing every now and then.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. That's good. But what'd you
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: think of the kilt Dan, Yeah.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I thought it was cute. He got punked the same way.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: I feel like though he's not he's been around the
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: block a couple of times for that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: But yeah, we're good.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's awfully young. I mean, I know, we're unshackled,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and that's a that's a theme that's gonna continue on
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: through the rest of the series. But we are unshackled
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: from Cannon. So in this verse, maybe maybe Scottie's a
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: little bit a wee bit younger, just a wee bit.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's not as young as the Star Trek Scouts.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: But not quite, not quite.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: What is that?
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Oh God.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Show?
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: So yeah it is. It is horrible and amazing on
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: so many levels.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I I didn't have the I didn't have the opportunity
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: to see it.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: So oh I watched it. I watched it.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: I was gonna watch it, but I didn't want to,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: so I didn't.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: I don't blame you, I don't.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for the same reason. I mean, I haven't
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: seen all a prodigy either.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: That's them right there. It is.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: This show, the Star Trek Scouts leaves so many more
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: questions than answers. Why does the kid have a robot arm?
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Why does the robot arm?
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what a horrible situation happened that the kid has
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: a robot arm.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: The whole m as is.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Giant asteroids are being hurled towards this colony, I guess,
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: and the kids have to save the colony.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, why are Orge.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Let's let's let's let's give this a little bit. Let's
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: shine a little bit of light on this. This show
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: is a Nickelodeon show, and maybe Nick Jr.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, yeah.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: It's geared towards six year old, right.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like three four five year old?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, So like you know, it's it's like
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the dad in in Will Ferrell the Christmas movie. Uh,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: it's like he's the publisher of a book company, this
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: book company, and and the books up and they're like
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: nobody cares. Yeah, crap, whether the talking it's an ending
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: or not, nobody cares. I'm sure that's thinking they make it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure you know this this smellx Kirtsman.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: To give you an idea since you guys didn't watch it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: The kids realize on their sensors that a giant meatball
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: meteor is being hurled to the planet. So then the
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: kids pray to the audience and say, what do we do?
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: They show up four images. There's a Romulan rubber ducky.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: There's a fork, it's two other things.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: The kids don't.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: Hear the deity us as we yell back and say,
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: get that goddamn fork going olds right, So they hit
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: the ducky. The ducky does nothing to the to the meatballs, right,
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: and in their final moments they shoot out the fork
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: and all as well.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Heck yeah, heck yeah.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: So it's it's it's it's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with Star
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Trek characters.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: Hey well, unjackled from Cannon Baby, Hell yeah, hell yeah.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Star Drink Scouts is the only canon I recognize now Asteroids.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: That's right, me.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I can't wait till the live action crossover with Strange
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: New Worlds for this one.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: Oh god, yes, god, I wish the Lower Decks was
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: still around. Rip apart Start Drink Scouts.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I would just like to point something out yeah, you
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: know that a season finale was bad. Yeah, and we
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: have spent more time discussing the Nickelodeon show.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, you wouldn't know something crazier about that Star Drik Scouts.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: Uh, the Secret ride Out has nothing to do with it.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: It has It's Kurtzman has nothing to do with it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Kurtsman has nothing to do with it.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: It's all Nickelodeon.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: So you can so you can make crazy bad Star
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Trek without Kurtzman. That's right, you don't know, Okay, okay,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I mean to be fair to this show. I I I.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: You know, you can't really make fun of this show.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: It'd be like making making fun of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Right,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: it's just a kid It's just a kids show.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: It's for designed for for four year olds, bright colors,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that just meatball, meteors and forks, and you know that's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: that's cool. I dig it.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: I'd like if you overthink it, it's horrifying, like why
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: does the kid have a robot arm?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah? But other than that, yeah.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Do you do you want to go through I'm I
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: didn't take enough blood pressure medication?
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Would can you go for the episode?
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: So basically, what happens is what's his name, Gamble has returned.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: He's an evil. He's evil.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: He's got the demon inside of him, and the demon
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: wants to unlock all his other demon friends space demons,
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: and so, uh so to do that, they have to
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: go to this one planet where there's a magic box.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: The box will unlock I don't know, a portal or
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: some I don't know. I didn't really pay attention. And
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: uh and so they got to go open that, and
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: and and Gamble is gonna release his friends. And then
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: it ends up that Captain Girlfriend somehow realizes, oh, I've
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: got these magic powers to stop to stop Gamble.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Captain Lizard Augment magic Lily Girlfriend, that's right, that's right.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: Because of the Gordon DNA and her human DNA, and
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: they threw in another another species.
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: Well she's got the yeah, okay, and so because of
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: all that, she's the magic she saved by, right, So because.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: Of all that, she's got the best of all the species,
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: and so she's uniquely qualified to fight the space demons.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: She's the hulk and endgame.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Right, She's a human, she's a human voltronk.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: She's a human coming together. That's right. That's right, that's right.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: She even lights she yes, it will.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: She is the one, She is the one, and uh,
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: she lights up and she glows, and so she's got
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: to go fight gamble with her jazz hands.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: With her jazz hands, that's all she got. She's got
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: glow of the Dark hands. There is no fight, by
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the way, there's no fight in the fight. They just
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: got glowy.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Right before that, if I'm interpreting this correctly, she took
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: a minute to uh snatch Captain Pike and transport him
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: through time in space back to nineteen ninety two so
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: that he could experience the TNG episode the Inner Light firsthand.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: That right, that's right, that what happened. Yes, so they
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: have a whole relationship in about three seconds.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I was hoping we wouldn't skip over that because that's
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: a big f and deal. That's a big thing for
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: them to do. Yeah, reach real ours regitereration.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Well it was full of the episode.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, let's can we talk about that for a second. So, yeah,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: they do this whole Inner Light thing where she has
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: the power apparently, and she takes Captain Pike and they
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: they Captain Picard and and and Miles O'Brien him. Yeah, both,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: you know, Miles O'Brien had a whole lifetime in prison,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: and Picard and the inter light and they they.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Have a life together.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Presumably Pike comes out of this with decades of additional
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: memories of them having children and grandchildren and growing up
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: and having a.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Career and and and all this and it all.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Happens within the span of a few seconds for them.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: So this, this does something. And I and I thought
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: this with Picard and O'Brien, these are much more dynamic
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: characters now. They have so much more substance now because
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: they're now in their minds. They have one hundred years
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: worth of experience in the body of a fifty year old, right, Okay,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: And I hope they keep I hope they touch.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: On this later on.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: I promise you they won't.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Well, Mike is now wiser, he's older, he's got the
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: command experience now of a of a fleet admiral in
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: his brain. They can't ignore this, but they're going to
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: You're right, they're going.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they will.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: So here's here's the problem. Though. I said something a
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, I said, uh.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: That I I had a feeling that since they're unshackled
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: from Cannon and they're going to rewrite his his story
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: and he's not going to get in the accident, and
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: he's not going to uh be deformed, and he's not
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: going to end up being taken back to Tallos to
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: live out his life, to live out a peaceful life
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: in his mind. Due to their illusion powers, they can't
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: do that at this point because if they take if
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: they take him back to Tallos in whatever, I don't
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: know how many years does he have left supposedly, I
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: don't remember.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know comewhere between three and ten.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the fantasy life that we saw him live out
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: in that episode, that would not his choice. His choice
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: would be to go back to that life that we
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: watched in this episode. I mean, if you had a
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: if you had a wife and a kid and a
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: family and grandchildren and this whole thing and it was
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: ripped away from you the way it was, and you
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: were given an opportunity to.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Experienced joy again, I mean, would you would you pick that?
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: Or would you pick the lady that you met in
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: that episode who it doesn't make any sense.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: Unshackled unshackled, baby, you're just gonna And.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with him not going doing that that timeline.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with him not doing the original series timeline
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: if they explained it away in a way that makes sense.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: I just keep thinking from the very beginning when when
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: they took over for Star Trek, they just should have said,
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: this is a whole new universe. We're you gonna do
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: what we want yep, and a lot of these problems,
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: would you know, they might be goofy and weird, but
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: we wouldn't care as much.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I think the reason why they did did not do
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: that is they still wanted to connect it some way
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: to the other shows.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Well, they wanted the audience to care, so that's why
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: they said they were like, if it's they wanted us
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: to think it's prime timeline, so that that way we
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: would invest and watch the shows right Whereas if they
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: said it's a brand new universe, a lot of trickys
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: may have just bounced right off right then and there.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: They said it doesn't matter, right, which should matter because
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: it would be good storylines if it was good storylines.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Exactly, which also tells me they didn't have the confidence
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: even then right, so that's that's not good.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: But I mean we had a great first season, a
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: pretty good second season, yeah, and sort of a really mediocre,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: disappointing third season.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Oh I wonder.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: Oh so Captain Girlfriend, she basically becomes Captain Lizard Augment
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: Magic Lily girlfriend. Right, she becomes the light up glowing
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: I don't know, warden to now stand watch over the
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: space demons after capturing them all, and she's trapped in
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: that in that prison on that planet where she has
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: to just make sure they don't escape, and that's her
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: job from now on.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Ye hanging out, she's the sorceress in castle.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, they'll do enough.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: She just hasn't turn into a bird to do it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: See Captain Girlfriend, come visit him as a pigeon or something.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: God, I hope, so I hope she shows up as
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: a pigeon.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm the only one too. She's
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: starting to grow on me a little bit. I'm starting
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: to like, Yeah, I don't know if it's because she's
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: been forced down our throats or if it's because, like
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I'm starting to get invested in the character. Oh watch
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: that shot of uh, let's be careful that shot of
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Scotty with the kilt and the legs. Yeah, careful there,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: let's let's watch that cameras In the background.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: Scott is contributing to his only fans.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Because you know, traditionally they don't wear anything under those kilts.
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: You're gonna pay a little little two ninety nine a
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: month to see what's under that skill.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I don't think he's got the Starfleet issue unders.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Under there, well don't you. Yeah. Hey, let's okay, let's
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: go back to focusing on.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: Scotty. Your delta's showing.
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: Oh no, all it comes back to the d It
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: all comes back to the d always, baby always.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Oh So how did this episode end?
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: They get a map from Corby because Korby's going to
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: stay on the planet where the magic Box was. He
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: wants to study that civilization, and he somehow has a
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: map that he got somewhere that it's a ton of
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: uncharted planets and they figure out that it's at least
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: five years worth of new planets to explore.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Huh yeah, weird.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Right, So he gets a Sith wayfinder.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: He gets and he's able to he's gonna give it
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: to Starfleet and they're gonna put Captain Kirk in charge
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: of the Enterprise and have the first.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: I mean, they could just say that the five year
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: mission began with Bike and then Kirk had to take over.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Well, wasn't okay, If I'm not mistaken, the original series
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: five year mission was the second five.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Year mission of The Enterprise.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: Oh could be that?
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if I'm not somebody googled me right
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: in the chat, I think that the Kirk's original series
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: five year mission was the second five year mission of
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: the Okay, so we don't have Okay, So we've got
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: two more seasons left, and they've been talking online about
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: having to do a time jump to catch up to
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: the first episode of the original series. So maybe they're
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: going to go through this five year mission in the
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: next two seasons.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Awoll says felt more like a serious finale than
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: the season Finally, I thought so too, honestly.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so did I.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And they wrote it as a serious finale just
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: in case, because by the time they wrote this, it
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: wasn't season.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Four and five already greenlit.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Well, I was.
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: Gonna bring this up later, but I'll bring it up now.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: Season four has already been shot. They shot it between
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: February and July of this year, right, that's.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Why we've already seen stills of the Muppets.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, why wait for feedback and know what your audience
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: wants when you can just plow one through ahead.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Well, they might accidentally force gump their way into a
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: good season.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: I mean maybe they'll maybe they'll strike gold and you
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: know they'll become better.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I can't wait for the crossover.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, let's do the thing.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: I do the predictions.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: No, I want to do the thing I want.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: I want each of us to say one thing that
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: they actually enjoyed about this.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's it's.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I love the flashback scene or the I love the
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: interlight I love I love the interlight scene.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I love that they did that for Bike.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Despite what Pike has in store from whether he dies
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: or wheelchair or to losion or whatever, he got to
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: live out a fulfilling life, you know, with family and
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: career and all that.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I really, I really enjoyed that. So how about you guys?
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: What did you guys like?
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: Uh? I like the Gamble character.
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: I think he's an interesting original character in villain that's
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: just pure evil, which is a thing that they've done
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: in Star Trek before. The whole idea has always been,
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: you know, nobody is pure evil, nobody's pure good, right.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: It's just it's interesting they went that route. I don't
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: know if it's good for the franchise, but whatever it's,
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: it's they're trying new stuff. I also like his sonic
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: the Hedgehog rings there on his jacket. That's pretty cool.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: So like, if you hit.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: Him, do they just shoot out? And I'd love to
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: know that.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: Liked no, No, who's there, bad guy?
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: I I like the idea that.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Kirk and Spock had this mind meld that took place
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: You're years before or t O S.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: Because when I watched when I watched to S and
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: I see I see Spock and Kirk interacting with each other.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: For years, I always thought to myself, why are these
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Why are these dudes friends? Why does you know their
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: polar opposites of each other. Spock absolutely considers himself superior
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: to Captain Kirk in every way, but at the same
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: time has this deep respect for him that I think
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: was more than just respecting the rank. And it just
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: never made it just never made sense. To me, why
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: are these two? You know, I used to look at
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: the trio of Kirkspoch and McCoy and I would and
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: I used to think to myself, you know, Kirk and McCoy,
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: I get it, Kirk and Spock doesn't make any sense.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: But don't get Kirk says out outright insulting and racist
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: things to him all the time. And and Spock's cool
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: with it. Why why is the sky cool with it?
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: Because they're bros from back in the day, with this
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: deep connection. They've been inside each other's heads. They know
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: things about each other that no one else does. They
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: keep each other's secrets. It just it was I think
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: it was a clever way to explain away that that problem.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: Will points out that and Dagger of the Mind was
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: supposed to be the first time spock mind melded with
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: the human. Uh, you will, brother, you must unshackle yourself
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: from canon.
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: There's only one canon.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: There's only one The original series episode. Yeah, ninth episode
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: of the first season.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: It was the ninth episode of the first season.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I'm looking this up on Wikipedia.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: Dan, should I play it? He's gonna go this far
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: down the rabbit hole.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: I won't hear it, but go ahead play.
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, warning, warning, nerd alert, nerd alert.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: We need to have stickers made. My wife has been
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: asking for stickers for a while.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Have stickers made. And the nerd alert needs to be
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: a sticker or a patch or something.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: It needs to be one.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, So get get on that with with your connections,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: let's start.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Let's start selling stickers, and with anybody in the chat.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Anybody in chat, would you be interested in buying stickers
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Trak Cass stickers, Uh, you know, Star Trek stickers. Whatever.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: We cannot get sued over.
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: Max. Do you think they'll bring bones in the next season.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I think they're waiting on certain characters for the last
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: episode of the last season.
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: Well they've also said though that they're not going to
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: bring them all over.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Right until the I think the last episode of the
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: last season is going to be the first episode of
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Star Trek original theories.
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: All right, so it's possible.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Eventually, Can I can I add something to your comp
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: And I know we got to get onto the predictions,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: but the one, the thing that Dan liked led into
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: the thing that I didn't like, which I love that. Yeah,
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: they mind melded and that was great and it was
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: a nice scene, and they mind the reason they mine
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: melded was asinine, completely ridiculous, absolutely ludicrous and and and
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: other words that I can't think of right now.
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: Was it ludicrous? And Biggie Smalls, Yes, it was okay.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: They had to mind meld so they could fly the
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: ship and sink so they could fire their phasers at
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: the same time.
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the same place.
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that that's insane.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much like they just did it to do it,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Like twelve year olds wrote this script. Come on, I'm
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: telling you, man, I don't have any trongs aliens about it.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: I just I just wanted to point that out.
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: It's all first drafts.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Where is the blood pressure?
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: This season was written with a big good enough on
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: every approval.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: They just wanted them to have a mind meld and
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: they didn't care why, and the and the the Kurtzman
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: was like, to the writers, just figure out a reason.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I don't care why, just make what happened.
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: Was like, you're gonna do the finale and the Enterprise
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: doesn't shoot anything, all right, we got to figure out
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: a reason to at least fire the lasers and the boss.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: The Boss wants the ship to shoot something. All right, Well,
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: I want the boss to be happy. We're gonna get
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: two ships to shoot the same thing.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: Boom boom.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: The phasers on a starship are orders of magnitude larger
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: and more. They are continue they they're shooting at the
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: small doorway.
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: Who fat, sarcastic Star Trek fan, you must be a
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: devil with the ladies.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: You didn't hear that, dad, No, but that was great.
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: It's the sound effect that I have.
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: It says, WHOA a fat, sarcastic Star Trek fan, You
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: must be a devil with the ladies.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: It's It's like when I go to a convention and
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: I go up to ask a question and I say, Hi,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: my name is God and I'm actually the co host
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: of the Star Trek podcast Trek Cast, And then I
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: look around the audience and I say, I'm sorry, ladies,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I'm already married. And then I look down and I
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: get my wife a wink and it usually gets a laugh.
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: Nice.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, everybody in the audience. I'm the
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: co host of a Star Trek podcast.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah. The phaser thing.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: When when ship phasers should not I mean, they were
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: like within feet of the face hitting the doorway. That
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: should kill everybody within, you know, a ninety three foot
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: radius or or a thirty meter radius.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: It really should. It should the heat alone.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, Scott did the math on it, and the
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: math the math was mathing.
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: Meanwhile, the vast majority of the characters had nothing to do.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another thing I don't like.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: I think a good show, a good finale is when
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: all the characters are involved, maybe not equally, but they
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: all have something to do.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, you set up a lot of stuff with
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: the Gordon that didn't really pay.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Off, a lot of stuff with the Gorn. Yeah. Yeah,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: maybe that nothing really matters.
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: No, No, all right, should we get to our predictions.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well let's do that.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let's let's get there. Okay, So we do have
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: to kind of hash out a couple of them before
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: we declare winners. Uh, first one, we have to hash
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: out this season was better than the last one.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything.
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: Okay, and then from one, uh, it's going to be fun.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: It wasn't.
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: I feel like there were fun moments, but overall, no, there.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Were fun moments in the worst TV series ever too.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: But you know, okay, just.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm on a phone, so I can't read
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: what's on the screen.
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: I'll read them to you, all right.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you could tell it, tell me the results.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we only got a few to go through, so
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: we'll go through these. Okay, First one, this season is
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: better than the last. We all said no, but the
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: original predictions were okay, Scott said better than the last.
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: It was likely.
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: Magic a Ball also said it would be likely that
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: it would be better than the last. Only myself and
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: Dan were saying unlikely. So we got that one right, Dan,
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: you and I the Tokyo's got it. Then one said
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: it's going to be fun. We all, all of us,
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: including the Magic a Ball, said it would be likely fun.
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: We were deadly wrong, so yeah, I didn't.
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: Next is the.
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: Gordon problem will be fixed quickly? Scott, Dan and myself
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: and the Magic a Ball all said likely.
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: I kind of think the answer is not really correct.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: They did the Gorn throughout a little bit. Yeah, The
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: third to last episode was about a gorn or. The
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: second to last episode was about a Gorn.
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: A main character dies this season.
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: Scott and the Magic a Ball said unlikely and whereas
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: Dan and myself said, for sure, someone's gonna go h
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: So Scott and the Magic a Ball were correct.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: Next, there's a cling on episode.
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: Scott and Dan both said that was likely to happen,
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: whereas myself and the Magic eight Ball did not believe
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: there would be kling on episode. So myself and the
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: Magic eight Ball were completely wrong. There was a third
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: zombie kling on episode. The third episode.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I forgot that.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was such.
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: A great episode that sixty six percent of the host
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: of treck cast forgotten to have forgot.
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: About it exactly exactly. The episode where everyone turns into
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: a volcan is our favorite.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: I called this early on, and I've been promoting my
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: viewpoints ever since.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: Like Babe Ruth calling his shot. Scott was like, no way, noll,
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: am I gonna like this trash? Nope, Whereas Dan, myself
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: and the Magic a Ball we're all like, oh, it'll
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: be fun, we likely will enjoy this. We did not,
• 49:53
  Speaker 6: So only Scott got it right. I think Scott's winning
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: so far, but the most particular yeah uh. And then
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: there's no cliffhanger ending for this season. I mean, that's
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: arguable they've got.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: The lap What part of it was a cliffhanger like
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: we have episode That's kind of.
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: Where I leaned on it too. Yeah, but here's the thing.
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: Scott, Dan and myself all said it was unlikely that
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: there would be no cliffhanger, meaning that there would be
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: a cliffhanger. Only the Magic eight Ball first saw this
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: series of events and knew that we would not have
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: a cliffhanger.
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: So the Magic eight Ball wins on that one.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Did you fight you on this next one?
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: There's a Star Trek Academy easter egg this one, I
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: think I don't think they it's an easter egg. Although
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: Pike does mention in the last episode during the Interlight
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: Seria series that he's going to go teach at the Academy,
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: or he's supposed to go there to visit something like that,
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: he doesn't.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: I canume exactly.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: I think we can assume it's the Academy in this timeline, right,
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: that that'd be like, you know, I don't know.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there's an equivalent. I can't think
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: of a Yeah, they're not talking about thirty first century.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: Oh no, I agree with you.
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I don't But it is still the Starfleet
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: Academy period, right right.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: They did say Starfleet Academy, right, I mean.
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So is there an East Egg?
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: Scott said unlikely, whereas Dan, myself, and the Magic gay
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: Ball all thought there would be an Easter egg because
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: they cannot help themselves. But Scott Scott got it right,
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: they did help themselves.
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: There was no Easter egg. All right.
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: This one is a little potentially contingents. Scotty becomes the
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: chief engineer because he did feel the role for an episode,
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: but he wasn't.
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: The chief engineer.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say I was wrong on this, Okay,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think Yeah.
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: So Scott and Dan both thought, and the Magic a
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: Ball all thought he would likely become chief engineer.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Was still there, so yeah, I mean he filled the role.
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: But that's like filling in for your boss, you know,
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: I said unlikely. Okay, sidebock returns. Only myself and the
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: Magic Able thought this would happen, whereas Dan and Scott
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: were both like, yeah, that ain't happening.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: And then from Steve Wilson, too much comedy, not enough
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: space drama. This dude called it from the very beginning
• 52:39
  Speaker 6: absolutely uh, whereas Scott and Dan thought there's no way they.
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: Would do such a horrible thing. They're gonna do, it's
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: gonna beat Yeah.
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: So Scott and Dan were very wrong myself in the
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: Magic gate Ball we know what's up. We said this
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: is gonna be trash and we were right. But I
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: think it's got the winner.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Yea, Hey show him what he's one, Daniel. I have
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: no idea what you want, but I'll take a nerd alert.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I'll take a second nerd alert.
• 53:12
  Speaker 6: The nerd alert, all right, warning warning, nerd alert, nerd alert.
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I'd like to thank Alex Kurtzman for being predictable.
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: I'll send you a LinkedIn Star Trek Scouts.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my prize.
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: That's your prize. Yeah.
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: So why don't we get into listener feedback and uh
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: and we'll go from there.
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: Listener feedback.
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: And people can x up in the chat if they
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: want to join us. We do have listener feedback on
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: the episode on our Facebook group. Let's see, should I
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: bring that up?
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I have an email too, So oh okay, I'll
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: just go through this real quick.
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: Blake said, there were some good thoughts in there, but
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: some of the writing, especially the Technical Bible seemed kind
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: of lazy, very inner light type episode. So overall that
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: seems to be the sentiment that the show was very
• 54:30
  Speaker 6: just kind of mid, not horrible but not great, just
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: just mid. Yeah you want to read your your your email?
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: This one is from Tim Hi Scott the Strong Beard,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: also Dan Medium Beard and Daniel l Ombrace and Barbara.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, okay.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Honorable mention the Chaz business. Tim again, but I'm not
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: the Tim one from England who calls in. I'm a
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: different Tim, the one in Australia. I think you guys
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: mix us up a couple of times. That could be
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: hoping we're not having a two Vicks Thomas Ryker moment. Anyways,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: I thought to give you a few thoughts on the
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: new Star Trek.
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: Are in Australia next to England.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: I thought they were within each other.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought i'd give you some thoughts on the
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: New Star Trek. Audio drama that's currently being serialized as
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: a podcast is based on what happened after Kirk left
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: the crew of the s S Botany Bay on City
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: f five and before the Wrath of Khan, using the
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: plot device of going back to get crew logs and
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: listening to them dramatized versions from the.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Episode, he says he actually enjoyed it. If only live
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Star Trek was written.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: This well, he says, we might have more people enjoying
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: Trek and not being constantly disappointed like Dan. Great to
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: hear Sulu and Tuvok back again. Hearing them both in
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: character reminded me of the Voyage episode where we saw
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: Tubac on the acceleustrator as part of the thirtieth anniversary
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: of Star Trek. Tim Roth and George de Kay weren't
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: the major focus, which was good. Too often they bring
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: back the legacy characters make it all about them. The
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: voice actor playing Khan was convincing and wasn't trying to
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: do an impersonation of Ricardo montybaand some interesting characters in
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: the first episode. Great writing, great voice cast, and I'm
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: looking forward to the next episode. Even with Alex Kurtzman involvement,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: it appears they've done great. Although I did notice the
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: credits there's more producers, directors, and writers than voice actors.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the time to read my email, Tim
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: liotis lamb aka Doggreen. Thanks Tim, great email.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: We appreciate that Yeah, I I listened to the.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: First episode of Star Trek Con and I liked it.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: I liked the premise of them going.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Back to get the crew logs so that this historian
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: can uh sort of you know, get a complete account
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: of what happened. And it's the first episode was good,
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: So keep those emails coming in. You can email us
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: at trek Cast t NG at gmail dot com, or
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: like what Tim did, he emailed me directly Strongbeard one
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: seven o one at gmail dot com.
• 56:57
  Speaker 6: And we should probably let people know since there's a
• 57:00
  Speaker 6: natural spot. So next week we we're gonna take off,
• 57:03
  Speaker 6: but then the week after that we'll come back and
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: we're gonna review Star Trek Con in thoroughly. So at
• 57:09
  Speaker 6: that point there should be three episodes out, so that'll
• 57:12
  Speaker 6: give us a better view of to what they're doing.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: So and okay, I'd also like to take the opportunity
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: to say that next in November, I will be going
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: November twenty second through the twenty third, I will be
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: going to Star Trek Chicago. And like I said that,
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: in November twenty second and twenty third, I've been in
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: contact with their people. There is a an amazing lineup.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: If anybody's gonna be in the Chicago area in November.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: They've got a ton of actors there.

• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: couple of good episodes.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: How dare Let's be realistic, Dan, It was like.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 9: We waited two years for ten episodes for this. Sorry, yeah,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 9: I don't.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: I don't feel like it was worth the wait.

  Speaker 9: is gonna rescue us from this time.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm not.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to reserve judgment for for Academy.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna watch tell.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you who's gonna rescue us.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: That's the Scouts. The Scouts, the only can that matters.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Now, you know what they should have like a special
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: part of Star Trek Academy. They should be like, hey,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: you know how they used to try to get into
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: Red Squad. Maybe now it's gonna be like the Scouts.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 5: If an Academy. They've got like a wall like these
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: kids saved us.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: From I think dance checked out.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 6: That'd be amazing if they do it. O't give what
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 6: Academy does. I love it.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: Has anybody seen the leaked footage of Academy?
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 5: No?
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I've seen and I don't think it's AI,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: but I've seen some what I think is leaked footage
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: of Academy that includes the holographic doctor. It's a scene
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: where the crew, some lower level like lower deckers, need
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: authorization to do this, to make the computer do this thing,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: but they don't have authorization to do it in order
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: to save the ship, and so the EMH. They bring
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: the EMH online and it's Robert Riccardo and he's like,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: what's you know, I'm a doctor, not a blah blah,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: and we need your authorization. Why didn't you say that
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: at the beginning, And he does his authorization and they're
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: able to save the ship. Like it's a eject the
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: core type situation.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, very short. It looks like it was.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: It looks like it was shot from a phone that
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: was looking at a TV screw like maybe.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: A monitor kind of thing. So yeah, it looks, you.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: Know, and you couldn't get a clear view of the doctor,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: like they were shooting him from kind of weird angles,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: so you couldn't.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Tell if they had cg I hid him.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: Young or if they just he just looks like Paccardo now.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: And I think they're gonna explain that away, you know,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: in sort of a data like way. So that'll be
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to do the prediction show for for
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: for Academy.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 9: That's I'll see the excitement on Dan's day.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to pull up.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 6: I did a poll on the Instagram account what did
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: you think of Stranger in the World Season three, and
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 6: the options were loved it, it was mid, or it
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 6: was not for me. Not for me only got seven percent.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 6: Loved it only got thirty, whereas it was mid.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: The votes yeah, like a Bell curve. It's mediocre, not horrible.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, I you know, I watched it every week,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: and there was there was two or three what I
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: would call.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: Good good episode, you know, yeah, or at least parts
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: of episodes that I liked.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: Max.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 6: I hope next season is better, buddy, Uh, we hope.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: So without feedback, so we'll see what happens.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 9: Let's I think you guys ought to have a review
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 9: episode of best season finales and they bring them all.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: That's a good idea.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna all the tricks like go through which one
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 9: had the best season finales?
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well it's gonna it's gonna be the.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 9: Because this was definitely season two of Next Gen where
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 9: the writer strike happened, messed it all up. They were
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 9: delayed comes out and it just didn't land.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Well, so yeah, they didn't have it. I don't know.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 9: It's like doctor Girlfriend. It is like she turns it
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 9: too a damn statue again.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Blizard augment Magic Lily Girlfriend.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah, with like Chloe eye. This is like somebody loved
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: Isa's episode. This eyes turned like this crazy color and
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 9: she's like, I'm all right, I'm like.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: What's her actual name?
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 5: Bettell?
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: But tell okay, what's her first name?
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: Karen?
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 9: I don't know, Karen Hot, Captain doctor Marie.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Marie Buttellttel Okay, Captain Lizard Augmented Magic Lily, girlford Betel and.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 9: How many times, well, on account how many times Kirk
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 9: has been on this ship this season.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Like I said, there's a meme going around like falling
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: you know, why is Kirk, but get off my ship?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: Why is Kirk got by ship? His brother lives there,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: but he never seems to be there to visit.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: His brother except maybe wait.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, it reminds me of like the Next Generation movies,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: where each time that wharf comes back on the ship
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: that the excuses get lamer and lamor where I like, here,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: can you help us with this?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 6: I think screen time wise, Kirk has more screen time
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 6: hours on the Enterprise than the brother that's supposed to
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 6: be stationed there.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, he has more, I think Pike, Yeah, Walter Face,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 9: Rebecca Romain.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: At least yeah, because.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 9: Really, she hasn't had many lines this season. No, you
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 9: didn't focus on her much, and.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: I really like your character. Yeah, I think she's the
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: great first officer. I think she's a great character.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 9: They focused more on Lawn and oh.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 5: The nurse Chapel, so I'm still convinced they're gonna kill her.
• 1:06:46
