  Speaker 2: for a long time. You can set it up it
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: like on October first, and because it's Jack Skellington from
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Nightmare before Christmas, you can leave it up until Memorial Day, really,

• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's I don't know what's going on

  Speaker 3: in the rest of the country. But in the Northeast,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: all those people that bought those twenty foot skeletons a
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: few years ago, they've just been leaving them out year round.
• 3:14

  Speaker 2: you gotta store. You gotta like bury it in the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: backyard and dig it up every year.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I couldn't imagine.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Man.

• 3:46
  Speaker 1: over and they just do up their yard giant for
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: every holiday, like Halloween, Christmas. I think one year they

• 4:41
  Speaker 2: part of Michigan would understand. There's a I think I
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: talked about it a couple of weeks ago, but there's
• 4:47

  Speaker 2: orange stuff, had drove an orange Cadillac orange hat. And
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: so when he when he passed away. His family had

• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a review of Star Trek First Contact, so yeah, it
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: should be fun. Well, we should probably get to it.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: So let's play the Star Trek News.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Let's do it Star Trek news.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: All right, So our first news story today comes to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: us from the Hollywood Reporter, and it is a bit
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: of sad news. This just came over the wire this weekend.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But from what I've read in another story, Ralph, is
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: it Sananenski? Since since sin Sinski? I'm sorry if I'm
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: butchering that name. Uh. He was the last surviving director
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: from the original series Star Trek. Oh wow, that's what
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it's in another article. I don't know if that's true,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: but that's what it said. He was one hundred and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: two years old. Yeah, that's a run. That's a good run.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: And it's like he has so much life to live
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: taking work, but for a human.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, one hundred is a good good run.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: That's in fact, it's one of the best runs.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah he uh he directed multiple episodes of Star Trek
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and The The Waltons. He died in a hospital in California. Uh,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: they say that he was one hundred percent sharp until
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the end. I don't have a cause of death. I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: would imagine it's been one hundred and two.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't think you need to cause of
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: death if you if you go past ninety, no cause
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: of death.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's it's you've had your run. But yeah,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: but uh yes, as Chasmin says, that is a long life.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, so his positive death was being born?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no kidding, no kidding, yes, yes, I do
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: find it funny that says he he produced or directed
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: six and a half episodes of the original series. I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: want to know what's up with that half. I'm sure
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I can find out.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Was it a two part episode that he directed the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: first half?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe? I don't know. I don't know.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I don't did did Did original series have any two
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: part episodes?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You're the one watching it right now or I am?
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I'm you know? And I can stand watching about one
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: episode every month and a half, so it's I'm.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: He still do the clip show? Maybe like that's it
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: only counted as half. Many other clips of other people.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Well maybe he co directed an episode.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah maybe maybe. Yeah, so Jasmin says Schattner probably pissed
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: him off.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: M hm.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: That that could be so okay, but yeah, that's that's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that story all right. Our next news story.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: The Menagerie. The Menagerie was a two part episode.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, our next story for we're gonna play this
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: while we get to since uh, since it's still going on,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: but we're still getting some of the fallout from the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Paramount merger. So this new story comes to us from
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: uh CBR Comic Book Resources and Taylor Sheridan, the the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the wonder Kid behind Yellowstone, is leaving Paramount, and according
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to the report by CBR, that might be good news
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: for Star Trek. So if you don't know, Taylor Sheridan
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: has produced just a ton of different shows for Paramount,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: just hit after hit after hit. He's done basically everything
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: in in the Yellowstone universe. He's also done like what
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: is that other show that he did, land Man, and
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and the one with Jeremy Renner the.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Mayor of Kingstown.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Kingstown. He's done a lot of your dad's favorite shows.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: So so yeah, so he is leaving though, Okay, well,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: there you go, there you go. He's he's doing a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: lot of these shows. He did Tulsa King, He's produced
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that created that. So yeah, you know, so he he
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: got a better deal from Paramount or from uh Peacock,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and so he's going to be taking his talents there
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to South Beach and uh and doing that. It's kind
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: of surprising that Paramount didn't really try to he them.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Apparently they offered him something, but it wasn't that much better.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: What does Paramount have to offer?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, they They've got a ton of
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: money right now. The Ellison's have a just basically an
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: unlimited supply of money. So I mean they spent seven
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: billion dollars on UFC just because.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Well maybe they're maybe they spent all their money on
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Professional rest lated or UFC.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean maybe.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: But so he's gone, How could this be good for
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Star Trek?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Right? How could this be good for Star Trek? Let's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: get to that point. So the idea is, now that
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Taylor's gone, the main focus is going to have to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: be Star Trek because you don't have the showrunner behind
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: all these hit shows, so those will pretty much naturally
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: die on the Vine and uh, and so now you
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: got to focus on your your main franchises, which is
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Star Trek.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they'll die on the Vine naturally.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: I mean they'll probably die of very long and protracted
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: death on the ya sety indication. I mean, there's they're
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: still making the Walking Dead spinoffs as we speak, and uh, you.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Know, right, but Roberts Kirtzman's behind a lot of those,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the brain Trust. So yeah, they're still awful. Oh, I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: know nobody watches them, but.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: My wife and I stopped watching Walking Dead at a
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: certain point and then I thought about starting to back up.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Let's start it back up. Let's see this thing to
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: its conclusion. Because Walking Dead ended and I'm looking and
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, it didn't really though, it's just the.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they just spread all the characters out.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's no absolution, there's no ending, there's no
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: you know, they're just.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you out of curiosity, when did you
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: stop watching?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: So we stopped watching. There was two periods that we
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: stopped watching. We stopped watching and spoiler alert, we stopped
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: watching after Glenn died.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's everyone stop watching.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Right, And the end of that season the end of that.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: We fizzled off at the end of that season, and
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: then he started watching it again, and once they were
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: able to kick Naghan out of his home, then we
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: stopped watching it again. We're like this it was, it wasn't.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: And the reason why we stopped watching it is because
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the good guys never won. They never got a solid win.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: It was just one horrible day after another, and the
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: show started getting depressed, depressing because they couldn't. There was
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: no there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And and I don't know about storytelling, but it seems
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: to me like part of good storytelling is even even
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: in a show like that, you gotta show him having
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: a good, good ending every once in a while, like
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: but they didn't do that in The Walking Dead, so.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You got to give him a reason to live. They're
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: just at that point.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I told my wife, I'm like, you know, if if
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: we were in the same exact situation, I would have
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: eaten a bullet a long time ago. Yeah, yeah, you know,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: in the Walking Dead world, that's right, because it's just, yeah,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: there's no reason to live.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: So but that's the going theory. Anyways, that Taylor sharedan
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: since he'll be gone the focus on all shifted Star Trek.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? We don't know for sure. It's
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: just a theory at this point, but I thought it
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: was interesting that we could bring it up. But speaking
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of Star Trek, we got a couple other quick little stories.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: For those of you who are missing Book David Ayala
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Book from a Discovery, have no fear. He is returning
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to your TV screens and he will soon be on
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Law and Order, so he is set to make his
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to be there. Soon. He will be replacing macad Brooks
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and he will be the new detective on Law and Order.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: So I was like Book as an actor, so that
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: might be interesting. Don't know if I'll watch it on
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: order though. Yeah. And then our last news story comes
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: to us from Cinema Blend. I don't know if you
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: guys caught it this week, but there was a very
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: special episode of the new Zachary Quinto show Brilliant Minds
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: where he got to dress as Spock. So it was

• 18:36
  Speaker 2: get have some good news, some awesome stuff.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah all right, let's get to our main topic.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I fin will now come out.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Oh man, our main topic. We are talking about Star
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Trek First Contact the movie. This was a film from
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six, directed by Jonathan Freaks, screenplay b Brendan Braga,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Braga and uh Donald, Ronald D. Moore, I cannot talk today.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I've had a long day. The budget for this was
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: forty five million dollars. Box office was one hundred and
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: forty six million, so it did make a profit. Yeah, yeah,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: can you assure me.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're trying not to, but I mean we do.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Thanks Dad, I love you too.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: So this was a great movie. I have to say
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: this was one of my favorites. It was one of
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: my favorites. It had a new new title theme. The
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: music had a new theme to it, which was carried
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: over into the next one, Insurrection.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: It's a very recognizable theme. It was the ambient music
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: in the background at Star Trek Experience for years. If
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: you were sitting in if you were sitting in the restaurant,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: you would you would hear this song come on. And
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: to this day, to this day, when I hear that theme,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: I think just as much about Star Trek the experience
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: as I do about this movie. So yeah, I love
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: this movie. I saw it in the theater. I had
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: a bootleg VHS version of it that I watched over
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: and over and over and over until I bought the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: the you know, a legit copy of it. This was
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: during like what I think of as the Golden age,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: excuse me, the golden age of modern Star Trek. You
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: had the TG movies going on, you had d Space
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: nine going on, Voyager was going on. Merchandising for Star
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Trek was, yes, yes, it was at its peak. VHS
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: and you know, all the movies, all the episodes, they
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: were all on VHS, and DVD was right around the corner.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: So it was only a few years later that people
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: were buying all the same shit they just bought three
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: years ago. I mean, merchandising was at its peak, merchandizing, merchandizing, merchandizing.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: I have great memories of this movie, the the side
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: effect of it though. Watching it this morning, yeah, I
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: ended up playing on my phone through half the movie. Yeah,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: because because I've seen it so many times, I don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: need to look at the screen. I can hear the
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: I could hear the audio track and watch this movie
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: in my head. And there's very few movies. There's a
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: few movies that that happens for me that I have
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: a hard time watching them now just because of how
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: many times I've watched in the past. This is one
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: of them. And Batman nineteen eighty nine.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: So I try and take I try and take several
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: years off between rewatching those movies, and I think this
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: one I didn't wait. I didn't wait quite long enough.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: But it doesn't mean I like the movie any less.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: It's a great movie. I got plenty of other stuff
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: to say about it. I got my notes here, but
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I'll let you go joke in a little bit.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So the fans and critics agree with you.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: It's got a ninety three percent critics rating on Rotten
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Tomatoes and an eighty nine percent with the fans. Scott,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: what did you think rewatching it? Because I know you've
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: seen it before.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, to speak to Dan's point about
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you know how often you watch it. We did a
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Star Trek movie rewatch our family did about four four
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: or five years ago, and we got up to generations
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: and then we stopped, like life happened, and we just
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: we went on to other things, and then we started
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: doing the rewatch this time. So I hadn't seen the
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: movie in all the way through in probably five or
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: six years, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And my experience
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: watching the movie this time I'm Usually my wife watches
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: these the rewatches with me. She didn't this time. She
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: was off doing her own thing, and so I watched it.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I had some wireless headphones on, so I was, you know,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I was late at night. I was able to you know,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: listen to the to the sound. It was great, and
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I found myself just just doing the dialogue with the characters,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: and I mean word per word at ninety percent of
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: the movie, you know, and which made me realize, yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I've seen this movie probably all the way through.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: So I had the headphones on. I had the wireless
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: headphones on also, Scott. And the funny thing like I
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: got up to go to the kitchen to get something
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: to eat. I didn't plause it. I just left the
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: headphones on, went to the kitchen, did what I needed
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: to do, continue to watch the movie in my head
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: while I'm both then and then came back in.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, fun movie and just like the last,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: we don't need to go through you know, a synopsis
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and seen by seeing everybody's seen this movie one hundred times.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, it's the border attacking Earth. They time
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: travel back to to ancient Earth you know or whatever
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: to stop first contact with the Vulcans in in an
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: attempt to assimilate the Earth in the past.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: So yeah, they traveled back to April fourth, twenty sixty three,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: which is famously the day before first contact, which is
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: where we get our Star Trek Day from, which was
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: just one the The date was just one of the
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: It was one of the writers. I think their kid's birthday.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, that was it.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: But one of the things I wanted to mention about
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: this is the the broken little ships, the famous scene
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: with Lily and Picard in the in the in the
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: room where he breaks the display case. One of this
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: ties into I've actually seen those ships, those models, the
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Golden models in person. Oh wow. The Henry Ford Museum
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: in Dearborn over by Detroit. And it when I when
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I saw that. I had been listening to trek Cast
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: for a little while, but this was the first time
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: that I was compelled to post something on the trek
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Cast Facebook book group. And so I said, Hey, I'm
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: going to the I'm going to the Henry Ford and
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: they got a Star trek blah blah blah blah, And
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Daniel reached out on Facebook and say, help, you know,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: post some pictures, and so that's the first time I
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: actually like really interacted with with Trek cast. I went there.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I took one hundred and fifty pictures. I posted every
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: single one of them. Everybody seemed to love it. The
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: the it was a it was like a special, you know,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: traveling thing that the Star Trek thing was going. It
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: was at the Henry Ford Museum. They had a special
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: exhibit and they had a ton of stuff there. There
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: was so many, so many props, but the ones that
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I specifically remember in my mind's eye was that Golden
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Enterprise D that they had to You could you could
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: see where it was broken and they had glued it
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: back together, and it was It was a fantastic, fantastic experience.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: You cannot forget that golden DU.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I cannot forget the Golden D. I saw you smirking, Daniel. Yeah,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I love that big gold D.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Who doesn't. Who doesn't love a golden D?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: But I smashed it.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I smashed the heck out of it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: No, it got broken. I had to glue it back together.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I broke the D.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: That'll happened with heavy use, I imagine.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, but this movie had experience.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: This movie had quite a few easter eggs and callbacks
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: to other other Star Trek episodes, other Star Trek shows.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: I just jotted a few of them down while I
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: was watching. But in Picard's office, if you look, draping
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: over the back of his chair, is the min talking tapestry.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: The episode I think the episode was was that the
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: one with the with the like prehistoric vulcans where they
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: think he's where.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: They're Yeah, Wise shoots him with an arrow.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: And uh yeah, So that that tapestry was over the
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: back of his chair basically for the rest of the
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: TG run, and you could see it in the background
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: in Generations. You can see it in the background in
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: this one, and I think you can see it in
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: the background in the next one. And Nemesis. I think
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Nemesis is the only one where it doesn't it doesn't
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: show up.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Dah, the fact that you're bringing up tapestry and naming
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: it warning warning.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: Nerd alert, nerd alert.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Was I where my nerd alerts with Pride.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: So Wharf was in this in this movie. You know
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: everyone knows at this point in the chronology, Wharf is
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: serving on Deep Space nine and he is at times
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: the commander of the Defiant, so it made perfect sense
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: that the Defiant, the ship designed to fight the Borg,
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: shows up at this battle. And uh, you know, whil
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: A Wharf is back with the TMG crew for the
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: duration of the movie. This is really the only movie
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: where it makes sense that Wharf shows up again, like
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: that fun fact. They had planned They had planned to
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: destroy the Defiant in this movie, and the showrunners at
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Deep Space nine were passed. You know that that line
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: at the end was thrown in where you know, Wharf
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: asks about the edition of the Defiant and they say
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: it's a drift, but it's salvageable, which means you will
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: see you next week.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: On the next Steam nine.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: So that they Robert Perccardo shows up as not the
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: e m H. But Ethan Phillips plays the maitre d
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: at the the restaurant. They yeah, uh, Nurso Gawa is back,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Reginald Barkley is back. A lot of the extras on
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the Enterprise crew were the same non speaking extras that
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: were on the shelf for for seven seasons. And uh,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Cochrane says the words Star Trek, Yes movie it was.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: It was pretty cute the way they worked it in
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: you guys are astronauts and some sort of star trek yep.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: So it was great.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I mean he put it in as best he could.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So the board were redesigned, the Borg were redesigned
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: for this movie. Yeah. Prior to this, they just had like,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: you know, pasty white faces and a bunch of mechanical
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: stuff on them. And they they kind of made them
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: look more made the organic parts look more organic, and
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: made the mechanical parts look more integrated with their bodies.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: And this design stuck around everything. Everything Borg that we
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: saw on Voyager. They owe it to this movie right down.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: So it's the same costumes and sets that they built
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: for this movement that they used on that show. For
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: the next I don't know, four years or whatever, that
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: the Boorg we're doing everything. Yeah. And then while I
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: was watching this, was just thinking about the Borg and
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about the Borg ship, and they make
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: reference of when they start changing the environmental controls on
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: the Enterprise to make it more like a Boorg ship
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: and it was it was hot and it was humid.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: And then I'm thinking to myself that a you know,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: a cybernetic organism. I don't think they shower, and then
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I was imagining what must have borg ships smell like?
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Awful humid?
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it must almost be so bad. It must it
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: must smell like an army bear after at test. It
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: must be so dank and rank Yep.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chad, tell us what you think of boring cube
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: smells like?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: I want to see the different descriptions.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: And sometimes I walk in, I walk into the karate
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: school when there's already been class in session for.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Like an hour and a half, and it's hot air.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: And I walk in, and I, you know, I have
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: a thing that I say smells like karate in here,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: And I imagine that I imagine that that a borg
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: cube smells like karate.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Oh man, one hundred and two degrees thirty thirty nine
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: point one degrees celsius is one hundred and two degrees. Yeah,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: thank you, that's warm.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: That's desert. Makes a good point, he says, computers like
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: cool and dry, though you'd think they'd want to be that.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Well. You also you also have to figure that the
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: borg are made up of how many different species?
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: So there are probably different species that operate in higher temperatures,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: some that have lower temperatures, some high humidity, some low humidity,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: so this is probably the median humidity, not for and
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: you gotta remember these are these are machines making constant calculations.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: They probably the collective probably determined. Okay, there's there's twenty
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: five borg currently on this ship. They are from these species,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: and this is the mean temperature and the mean humidity
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: for optimum operation in this environment. And as they assimilate
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: more people, those numbers probably probably shift.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, well we mentioned the hygiene. I
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: think it has My my theory is that you operate
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: one hundred and two, it kills all the nasty uh
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: you know, non nandite little things and you know, the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: germs and stuff like that. I think the high temperature
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: is to keep is a sanitation thing.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I would think that they have nanoprobes that are
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: eating the bacteria as it. Uh.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they probably cured cancer a long time ago. We
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: got this, Yeah, Okay, they don't even think about it.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like, we cured kids, and we can handle
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: body ownder this.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Like if the borg like ever like decided to you know,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: play nice with the federation, you know, and they just
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: got together and just you know, started, you know, hanging out.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: They'd be like, what is this cancer thing that would
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: would your friend died of?
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: What?
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: It's like, Oh yeah, we took care of that hundreds
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: of years ago. It's a real simple mechanical thing that
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: we do. Mm hmm oh, I you know you mentioned,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: uh Wharf. I had to say one of my favorite
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Easter egg in in this is and I didn't realize
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: it until I was until like the early two thousands,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: mid two thousands, when the first time we see Wharf
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: when he's picking himself back up off the deck, they
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: played the Klingon music. Yes, yeah, and I heard it,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: but I I didn't realize it until years and years later.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I was I was watching like Star Trek three, and
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: then I heard that music come out. I'm like, wait
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: a minute, that's the that's the Defiant theme. No, that's
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: not the Defiant theme, that's the Klingon theme. That was
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: That was great. And did you know that the Defiant
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: helmsman was Adam Scott.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yeah, he's a few times. Yeah, yeah, that's great.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: He's so.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, it's it's a great movie. I had
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: trouble coming up with what I would do with it.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I did come up with something though, Oh boy, oh,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: if you guys want to hear this, I want to
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: hear it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is like my favorite part.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: So I would not call it for his contact. I
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: would still have the Borg, but I would call it
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Star Trek Art of War, and I would start with
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: a holidack. Wharf is showing off his new training program.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: He is there just to show off a new training program.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: That's why he's on the enterprise. It's not that anything
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: has been going on. The training program has got all
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: sorts of cool adversaries within it. It's got like a
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I would have like a like a like a biker
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: looking nauseaken with like metal spikes on his shoulders and whatever.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I would have a Samurai klingon just whatever cool idea
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: you can come up with that concept. Art will We'll
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: put him in there and have it looked that way.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: And so they're testing the battle techniques.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Picard is watching over it with warf like, oh yeah,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: this is a great training simulator, like it's good. And
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: then as the simulation's going after different crew members are
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: are trying the combat training, some of the characters turn
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: and look at Picard and they're like, Licutas were coming,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Locutus were coming after you. We're gonna find you, Locutas.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: And he's like cute, who And then he slowly starts
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: to realizing, oh my god, the border talking to me
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: through the simulation. They've somehow hacked. And so he's he's
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: trying to call for the Arch. The Arch isn't coming.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: He's trying to break into the wall to figure out
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: what's going on. He's like, they're they're gonna try to
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: take over the Enterprise. They're clearly in the system communicating
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: with us, and Wharf's like, who are you? What are
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: you talking about? The simulation's running perfectly, like what do
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: you There's nothing going on, and they keep saying we're coming,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: the cutest we're coming. And then so finally the card
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: ends up ripping out the I don't know, the matrix
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: of the hologram or whatever breaks the breaks the holidack
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and uh. And he looks like a crazy person, right
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: because nobody saw anything other than him. And so he's
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: talking to Starfleet and he's like, hey, Starfleet, like they
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: they got into the Enterprise somehow. I'm having our people
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: trace the signal trying to figure out where it came from.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: But they're coming. We need to be ready, and Starfleet
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: it's like we're fighting the dominion right now. There's no
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: evidence of this signal. Yes it would be bad at
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: the Borg attack us right now, but there's no evidence
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: behind this. Are you okay? Like something's off about you?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: So then he goes talk to Counselor Troy because star
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: our Fleet's like, we want the counselor to do an
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: evaluation on you because something's off. Yeah, because you're you've
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: you've done lost it and uh. And so they have
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: a conversation and and he basically admits that you know,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: he yeah, he doesn't like the Borg, but you know,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: they're there and people think he's crazy. And she's like,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I think you believe that, but I there's no evidence,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Like there's there's nothing. And so then like Riker goes
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: to her and Riker's like, so what do you think?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: And right She's like, you needed to take command of
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the ship because I'm declaring him mentally unfit right now
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: because he he can't handle it. And so Riker takes
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: over and Riker's like, look, I'm sorry, but this is
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: what we have to do. We're in wartime, like we
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: have to be ready to go, and and you're you're
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: losing it. And Picard starts questioning himself and every now
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: and then the borg will pop up in his head
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, we're we're coming, We're after you,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing, right. And then so during the
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: during the training program also they were testing out these
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: new weapons that they have. I'm gonna call them the
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: strategic armored weapons or whatever I once saw to be
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the the the thing, and uh, and these weapons are
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: based off the brain tech from the from the Dominion War, right,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: the brain tech they would they would depower a ship, right,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: so these weapons could depower a drone. And the idea
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: was they didn't have the ability to then, uh remodulate
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: the signal and you know, prevent being you know, like
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: you couldn't shoot unlimited like they always adjust, right, But
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: because the drones would be depowered like that, you could
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: just keep shooting drone after drone after drowning and keep fighting.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: So that's that's why these weapons were so good for
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: fighting the board. And so the card makes the idea
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: that oh my god, that's what they want. They want
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: these weapons they want to to take them because they
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: don't want us to have the strategic advantage. They know
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: that we have the prototype weapons here in the Enterprise.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: That's why they're after us. And and Riker's like, yeah,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: that makes sense, but what do we do because we
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: can't we can't just like go hide and we need
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: these weapons. Like what do we do? And so uh,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Picard goes, well, they want us to go to these
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: special like location. He thinks that that's where they're waiting,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: like that's where the signals coming from. He thinks that
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: if we go attack them there with the weapons, we
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: can stop them before they really get going in the
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Alpha Quadron. So Riker decides, Okay, I'm gonna trust you.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: You know you're a captain, but I will trust you
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: and let's go. And so they get there and there's
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: no Borg. There's like this just like giant portal. And
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: they figure out that it is a Transworp conduit right
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: because it'll be the first time we see that. And
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: with that system, they can then take over the Alpha
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Quadrant because they can appear wherever right faster than warp.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: So they decide to go into the transport conduit. They
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: get there, they're now in a completely different you know,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: we've heard the Gamma quadrant, we've heard of the Beta quadrant.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: We'll give a whole nother one, the the Omego quadrant,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: like just completely out of nowhere, right, and it's the
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Enterprise alone, and there's multiple word cubes there. It is
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the Borg Hive like it is. It is the dead
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: center of it. And they quickly just take the Enterprise,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: and so a Bicard realizes He's like, oh my god,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: they're going to take the weapons. We're going to get assimilated.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: We're right in the center of all this. We're going
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: to get killed. And then and he's talking to we're
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: gonna introduce the Borg Emperor, so no longer the queen.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Like the queens are are like the lieutenants, but at
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: the top is the emperor, right, and the Emperor is like, hey, uh,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: we're gonna we don't want your weapons. We don't give
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: a shit about your weapons. We've had breams in the
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: collective for a while. We know about these weapons. And
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: then the guards like, well, what did you want? What
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: what is it that you wanted. He's like, what we want?
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: The reason we wanted you Locutus is because you're a
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: good tactician and you run on your instinct, and that's
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: why we put you in the hive originally, is because
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: we needed your battle instinct in fights, and that's why
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: you were such a deadly Borg. And so it becomes
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: like a chess match between him and the Emperor on
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: on saving his crew and saving the Enterprise. So ultimately
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: it ends up that the whole problem with what the
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: whole reason that the Borg wanted him and his instinct,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: but the reason it never worked is that the Borg
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: operates on one in Zero's right binary everything is this
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: or that, whereas human instinct doesn't operate like that, right,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: It's all based off of experience and knowledge and just
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: gut feeling. And that's why the instinct never worked for
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the Borg, and that was their downfall. So that would
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: be kind of it. Okay, I haven't like fully fleshed
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: it all out clearly, but I have at stick story.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: I'd love to, Yeah, And I'm telling you, in a
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: couple of years, we're gonna have Ai flesh these all
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: all your all of Daniel's stories out, That's right. I
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: want to I want to see, Yeah, I want to seek.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: The Daniel files.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and it's coming. You know, we've talked about
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I mean it's yeah, it's it's around the corner for real.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I I think I said a couple of
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: different times. I love this movie, but I'm still mere.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: So here's my list of nitpicks.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Go for it, go for it.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: I've got one too, all right.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: U Picard shouldn't face the Borg is what Starfleet thought
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: at the beginning. Yeah, despite the fact that he had
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: faced them several times already. Uh yeah, tail end of TNG.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: But that's fine. We understand. They needed him to not
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: be at the fight so that he could arrive at
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: the fight. I get it. Picard and Lily defeat to
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: Borg by luring them into the Holo deck and disengaging
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: the safeties so that they can use projectile weapons to uh,
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: to take them out.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: If my logic, it's right here.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: You ready for it? Yeah, you ready for it. Ten
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: minutes earlier, Data took her about twenty round of automatic
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: weapons fire and barely flinched mm hm so right in
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: the chest and then and looked down at his at
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: his at his messed up shirt and said, greetings. Yes,
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: that didn't quite add up to me. I mean, I
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: think the borger or more sophisticated or a more sophisticated
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: machine than Data is. But this is my nitpick.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: I I don't real quick to interject my nitpick on
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: that scene was not the Borg part, what was the
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Data part? Because Data got shot with an arrow once
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: and by counselor Troy, and he's like, oh, it just
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: barely missed the servo mechanism, so you're a good counselor.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: But he gets he gets shot by this you know,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: automatic weapon and apparently he was fine, even though an
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: arrow could have damaged him. Yeah.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: Continue, So after the warp flight and they turn the
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: ship around and they face it towards Earth. Cochrane says,
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: is that Earth? It looks so small? And Riiker says,
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: it's about to get a whole lot bigger, And that
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: always struck me as being backwards. It's about to get
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: a whole lot smaller because you're about to meet a
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: life forms. We're going to clue you into the fact
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: that you are a part of this intergalactic community. Now
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: there are all of these other races out there, and
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Earth just got a whole lot smaller. So that line
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: always bothered me a little bit.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Wood a much better line.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: My You know, my head canon is that they warped.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: They warped that way, and now they need to warp back,
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: so it's going to get bigger on the on the
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: ride back. That's the way I justified in my head cannon.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: But I really wish it was the other way around.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: Things I never noticed before, not that I never noticed them,
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: but I never like put two and two together. Jeordie's
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: wearing sunglasses down on the planet. Yeah, not that it's
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: too sunny, it's that he's got mechanical eyeballs that he
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: doesn't want people looking at these people from the past.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know how I never picked up on that
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: since nineteen ninety six to now. And I just got
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: a few pieces of trivia that I that I looked
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: up that I'll share it. This one, I was surprised
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: to read Tom Hanks was supposed to play Exept from Concord.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: I knew that. Yeah, Yeah, that would.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Have been crazy.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: I sometimes I think I wonder if the how would
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: that have affected the budget, Like would they have been
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: would it have been as good a movie? Would they
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: have had as much money to spend on the movie
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: or would they have done blocks of funding from the
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: studio because they would recognize this is not only a
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Star Trek movie, this is now Tom Hanks movie, so
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: we can expect that faction of people to come see it.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Also, Tom Hanks is a Star Trek fan giant. Yeah, yeah,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: you know, but he was. He was doing the he
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: was right in the middle of the hit directing his
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: starring in That Thing You Do, so he couldn't. Yeah,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: everybody knows That Thing You Do because we all have
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: the DVD.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: That's right. I watch it every Sunday.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good song.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: I still love.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's catchy. It's a catchy little little ditty.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: Don Stark played Nikki the Nose. Do you know who
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: Don Stark is? No, he played Bob Pinciotti on that
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: seventies show, Oh Donna's Dad.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Why you look familiar? Okay, I was, I was focused.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: I watched last night. I also watched the commentary there.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: The DVD's got three different commentaries audio and I watched
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: the one with Jonathan Frakes and it was so much
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: fun to watch. And he was pointing out that the
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: guy next to Nicky the knows that he's like that.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: The card is like frisky to find a weapon, the
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: one say hey, I'm taking that personal. That was a
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: stunt stunt coordinator.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: So Jack Shearer appears as Admiral Hayes, and he later
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: reprised that role in two episodes of Voyager, which is
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: interesting because his ship was destroyed in this way. So
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: I guess, I guess he didn't go in with the ship.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: I guess he made it to an escape pod. I
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: don't know. And this one's interesting. I you know, I
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: saw this, I paused it, and then I looked it up.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: At the end, when the Vulcan ship lands, Riker is
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: talking to Cochrane telling him, you know, hey, they're gonna
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: want to talk to you, and he's standing right next
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: to him, and Freaks is clearly looking up at at Cromwell,
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: James Cromwell, and I know that Franks is not a
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: short dude, So I looked it up and Frank's is
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: six three, so he's a tall guy. Uh, Cromwell is
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: six feet seven inches tall.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Good lord, he is dude, right, Oh my god.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: And upon looking that up, I got this little nugget
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: that he is the tallest actor ever nominated for an
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Academy Award.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a tall dude.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: Go back and now the next the next time you
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: watch this movie, that part's gonna come up and you're
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: gonna be looking. You're gonna and you're gonna see Riker
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: like this. Hey, they're gonna want to talk to you,
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: and you're gonna back to this moment.
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: Crazy six seven damn Yeah, he's huge.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: Wow. Oh my god, I didn't even I didn't. I
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: didn't even catch it. You know how tall he is?
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Six seven six nonsense.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: I finally made the show. That's all I got.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: I got one small, I got a knit.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: The borg Sphere Uh you know it goes back in
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: time and starts immediately firing on uh Montana, right, okay,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, and it gets off, It gets off a
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: lot of shots. I mean, we can we can see
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: from from what we can hear and see, and you know,
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: it's the green. It's the typical alien green, you know,
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: barrage boom boo boom. You know, it's just Jews. And
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: I kept thinking, I'm looking at I'm looking at it.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it's Borg it's twenty twenty fourth century,
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, my truck unit in the army, given
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: the same amount of time, could have done as much
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: or more damage to that village than the Borg cube
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: or the borgear did. What what were they firing at them?
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Like harsh language? It just I mean, yeah, some buildings
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: blew up and and things. But you would think that
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: that that time period, that species, that technology would have
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: been able to decimate estimate, Yeah, that entire area. You
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: would think that one photon torpedo would level the entire town.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: You would borg shooting at it.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I went, I went out of order. I
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: went out of order on my nitpicks, and I skipped
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: right over this one. Very similar to what you're saying
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: I have on here. Bord could have traveled back in
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: time first and then travel through space to Earth instead
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: of vice versa. Yep, that they traveled to Earth and
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: then went back in time, but back in time where
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: you are and then travel to Earth.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Or have the imagination for.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: Why do why even go to Earth? You know, you
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: know what you're stopping this first contact with this vulcan
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: craft intercept the craft, intercept the craft, assimilate that send
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: that down to Earth, and it's a whole different first contact.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: That handshake would go a lot different when the when
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: the mules come out, and now you got you know,
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: you got a six foot seven inch tall Bord running
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: around Montana assimilating people.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine he like, he gets assimilated, but he's
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: still got a ton of alcohol in his system.
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: He's just falling all over the place.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: He's of the three of us, I'm probably the only
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: one that's been to Montana, So I totally get just
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: raid shooting on it immediately.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Oh goodness, yeah, such a great movie.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: It Oh, we didn't even we didn't even bring it up.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: They you know, after the Star Trek generation's wardrobe debacle
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: h than movie before, they completely redesigned the uniform and uh,
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think we've had a better looking uniform since.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: I really don't don't think. I did like the Discovery uniforms,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: not the show, but the uniforms are pretty cool.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: They had a couple of different uniforms throughout its run.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, but they are they are great uniforms. When
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: I think of Star Trek uniforms, those are the ones
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: I think of that the D nine one, this is that.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: The Yeah, I also have to mention Literally and Picard
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: what uh an unlikely and fantastic duo. They had some
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: great chemistry together, that scene in the ready room, in
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: the observation lounge, that famous scene, you know they invade
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: our space and we fall back. Alfred Woodard is one
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: of my favorite actresses. She's great. Yeah, and she just
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: her acting in this was so good. It was so good.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: And her and Jonathan Frakes are really good friends. They've
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: been friends for years in real life prior to this.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: And but yeah, Herd Picard just had some great, some
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: great chemistry together. It was I just I just love
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: their interaction, you know, the.
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: One one line I always appreciated, you know, when she
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: compares him to Captain a Hap and and and then
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: later on in the scene she admits to him that
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: she actually never read the book. Yeah, yeah, and what
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: I but what I appreciate about that In Stars and
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: they did it. They did it twice in this movie.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: In Star Trek. It always they always paint this picture
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: that everyone knows about every piece of literature from Earth's past,
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: like they've all just sat around reading Shakespeare and you
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: know all of this stuff. So you know, there's that
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: where you know, she's she's from our future, and yeah,
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: I know what Mobe Dick is, but I've actually never
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: read it, which is most of the people on the
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: planet right now, you're aware of it. You're aware of it,
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: you know the basic premise of it, but you've never
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: you've never actually read the book. So there was that,
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: And there was something similar when when Picard is rage
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: blasting his opera music in the ready room and Ryker
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: walks in and you know, I identify the song and
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: and Picard corrects him, No, it's actually such and such
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: or whatever. Okay, you know. So yeah, so not everybody
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: knows everything about about culture.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not everybody graduated from Cambridge University. Yeah yeah, exactly,
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: just like reality. Yeah yeah, but yeah, like I said,
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: I listened to the commentary Jonathan Frakes. There's there's three commentaries.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: He did one, some producers did one and some I
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: think one of the writers did one. But the one
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: that Jonathan Frakes does he obviously loved this movie. Uh,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: he had a good time. Yeah, you know, I I
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: I remember when I had a conversation with Jonathan Fakes
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: one time when I met him at the as you
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: do at the Indianapolis Comic Con.
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: Were you looking up at him?
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a he's an all imposing dude, but uh,
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: you know. And and I the first thing he said,
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: and that's how I got my nickname was he said,
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: that's a strong beard. And when Jonathan Frank says you
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: have a strong beard, that I think that means something.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: And I told him, I said, you know Star Treks and.
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: Scott said, Scott said, you should see me mount a chair.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: That's yeah, I could. I could. I could write her
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: maneuver with the best of them. And I, uh, I said.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: How's your how's your how's your back?
• 58:29
  Speaker 6: After dropping that name, Oh you know, I mean, yeah,
• 58:38
  Speaker 6: exactly blue eyes, I.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: Said to him, I said, you know, I Star Trek
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: First Contact is my favorite Star Trek movie. I loved
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: what you did with it. And even my wife chimed
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: in and she's like, yeah, he says that all the time.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Star Trek is his favorite movie, and you're his favorite
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Star Trek director. And I said, you know, if they
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: had allowed you to direct Star Trek Insurrection or Star
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Trek Nemesis instead of that guy that they had directed,
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: they'd be you'd be directing Star Trek twenty three right now.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: And he looked at me and he's like, from your
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: mouth to God's ears, that's exactly what he said. And
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, yeah, because you know, the douchebag
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: that directed Star Trek Nemesis Bird or whatever the hell
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: his name is, destroyed the franchise, the Next Gen movie
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: franchise because he knew nothing about Star Trek. And and
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: that's one of the things that Franks was talking about
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: in the commentary is you know, he understood that he wasn't,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: you know, a big name director. They were hoping to
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: get somebody like Ridley Scott or you know, somebody an
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: action director, but they also knew that these guys knew
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: nothing about Star Trek, and so they approached Franks and said,
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: you know, you've directed a lot of Next Gen Deep
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Space nine Voyager, you know, will you direct this? And
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: He's like, absolutely, he wanted it. He wanted it bad.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I just think that he's you know, I've
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: said it before, I'm a huge Jonathan Fraakes fan. I
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: think that he should be part of, uh the franchise
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: moving forward. I think he should help shape it and
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: guide it. And that's that's my two cents.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: So nice. Yeah, well we've already got jazz is waiting,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: so we should get to listener feedback. So let's do that.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: Let me do it.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: Listener feedback.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: So uh yeah, so real quick, if you guys want
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: to get into listener feedback, we are on all the
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: social media channels, so you can send us messages there.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: We also have got a voicemail on line that you
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: can leave us a message at. It's five seven zero
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: sixty six to one zero zero zero one. That's five
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: seven zero six one zero zero zero one. And yeah,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: we'd love to have your voicemails. I did ask in
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: our Facebook group if what you know that we I
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: told him that we were going to review for his Contact.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: I wanted people's thoughts and their favorite scenes. Craig said
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: that his favorite was the assimilate This from moreh uh.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: One said this is just a great movie, loved it all,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: and Gabe said there are so many great parts in
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: First Contact. Mike Medina wanted to know what is the
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: deal with Lieutenant Hawk. I'm not sure what the deal
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: he means other than he got assimilated.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's Neil McDonough yeah, yeah, very well, yes, so,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 5: but yeah, we got Chasmis, so let's bring him on
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: there is you.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Know that brings up another knit. Several of the borg
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: uh were were phasered off into space.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: War takes his phaser rifle after he says Captain, they've adapted.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: He takes his phaser rifle and doesn't set it back
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: on the deck with its mag because they show that
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: if the card shows that it will magnetically, it's got
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: a magu He just takes it and throws it. And
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking, where did what happened to that? Did they?
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: What did hello?
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: I guess I imagine before they before they head back
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: to the future, they kind of they kind of zip
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: around the solar system being up, beaming up all the
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: crap that they left lying around that shouldn't be there.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what about the remember, oh, I've got one more
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: I've got I've got one more knit. Uh the deflector dish.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: He says, don't shoot the deflector. This charge of the
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: anti prioritize. That'll straight off the ship. Boy, I hope
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: the Romulans don't get wind of this information. And and
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: also how did my last knit? And then I'll shut up.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: How did Riker, Jordie and Cochrane get back to Earth?
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because they were using it looked like they were
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: using Apollo type technology or you know, well that's a
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: splashdown situation, right.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: Are there any Are there any big lakes near Bozeman, Montana?
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: I have landed like Elon's rocket, So.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And then.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: They drove a truck for something I don't know, I.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Think because and maybe Elon West was alive, he'd be
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: like a hundred.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: So yeah, he'd be robo Elon by then, so probably
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: be a brain and a jar and a.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Oh god, one of those heads like in Futurama, just
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: the head.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, did you rewatch the movie chats Bis?
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: I didn't rewatch it, but I saw in the theater
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. It was the first time
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: I ever seen it in the theaters, so.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: And and that's the thing about watching something in the theater,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: because like Dan was saying earlier that he can just
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: listen to it and not watch it. But when you're
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: in the theater, you don't use your phone. You're one
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: hundred percent invested in the movie.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: So that's right.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: That's right, and and it's awesome to see it in
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: the theater because until you release the well, you kind
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: of like, because you're such a big screen, you're usually
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: not like looking at other parts. You're just like sometimes
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: look for mistakes. You're looking for other things, and you
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: know time you pick up different dialogue too, So.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it demands your attention.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: I think the weakest part of this movie is the
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: Earth parts.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: M I think that's part a true you primus saying
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I thought it was on time and said eight am.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: I got here for listening feedback. I think the time
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: has changed, got you, buddy, Yeah, I think that's that's
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: what happened.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: Hey, it was nice having the sextra hour though.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah, man, I used.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: To wat ten am.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: It's kind of nice.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Actually, well, are you the kind of person where the
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: time change is going to affect you for the next
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: month and a half or y just crush it off. Yeah,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: I've already forgotten about the time change.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: I'll be back to normal by tomorrow.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at the clock. It says eleven o'clock. It
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: feels like eleven o'clock.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: Except when the light goes down at like five thirty.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: That's well, there's that.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: I work third shift, so you know, I'm not used
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: to that. Every once in a while in the summertime,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: I see that giant glowing orange orb.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, light the light. I hate the light.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: It blinds us. Yes, yeah, what do we got this week?
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: The last of con? Is this week the last episode?
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: Are you guys going to review that now?
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: Next week?
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: Like finish her up?
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: We'll finish up the movies. I think we can get
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: to CON after after Thanksgiving and all that.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: So okay, Yeah, Hey, Glen Glenn Lake is in Bozeman,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: Montana and it's three hundred and one acres, So I
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: don't know how there for a splashdown.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: But uh I got another question is you know when
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: they're fighting where the missile silo was with, you know,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: and they're just shooting all the guns in there, it's like,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: think how dangerous that might have been?
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a warp core.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean a warp core a missile, you know,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: because in a missile, it's like basically if you hit that,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: it's gonna leak, you know, yep, it like it'd be
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: so dangerous.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: I heard some people say, well, where did they get
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: the anti matter? Where did they get the you know,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: the you know and all that.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: It's the future. We figured it out.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. All these things like the Romulins
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: use a quantum singularity. The Federation uses matter and antimatter.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what your fuel sources. You just need
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: energy for the warpels to create a warp drive. Okay,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: so you could use electricity or or some other form
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: of something that creates energy is what the mis cells need.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: So you don't need animatter to do it. You could
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: use a nuclear reactor to do it.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: So that and this, this wasn't a trip. This was
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: an experiment, right, you know the right the right brothers
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: said Kitty Hawk. You know, yes, they achieved flight. They
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: didn't fly anywhere.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: No, they didn't go anywhere. They're just.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's working, it's working, it's working, it's working. And
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: then it crashed.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, so uh while both says it is
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: our future, they probably improved landing tech and uh A
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: tree prom says he watched Stargate for the first time
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: this weekend. It was awesome. Next rewatch, maybe I guess
• 1:08:03

  Speaker 2: The ocean.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's the biggest thing in the world.
• 1:08:57

  Speaker 2: too small of a target.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: Well, like I said, you know, Elon scot those rockets

  Speaker 2: download for I played it on the switch.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like a choose your own adventure kind
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: of thing. There's there's no action. There's a few puzzles
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: that you have to solve, but they're not very complicated.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: It's a very passive game. Ninety five percent of it
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: is you just watching the story take place, which is
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: a good story. The Uh yeah, it's I don't want
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: to give away anything. If you want to check it out,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: it's like twenty bucks. It's fun to if you don't
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: want if you don't want a lot of controller action,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: you just want to you know, make a few decisions
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: every once in a while, you can choose. Most of
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: the time you're choosing between like three dialogue boxes depending
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: on if you want to be a jerk, a nice person,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: or something in between. There's a few puzzles to evolve.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: It's it's you're playing two characters. One you're playing the
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: captain of a ship, and you're also playing a lower decker.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So it kind of jumps back and forth.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: Captain Noah on there.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: Right. It has to do with the icon the not
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: the Iconians U portal, the one from the episode where
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: right Riker goes down and the civilization has been gone
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: for millennia, thousands of years and he makes the return.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: That character portal makes a return. So it's it's it's
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: an interesting little storyline.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: See. I always thought maybe the board created those or something.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: I thought that was going to tie in, like maybe
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 4: way back technology.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: Well, speaking of the Borg Genesis, they talk about that
