  my house. It's the end of the kids spring break, and we just
• 2:06
  decided to do a little weekend trip and do some swimming at the pool and
• 2:09
  you know, at the hotel, and did some bowling and some uh and
• 2:14
  some roller skating, which I hadn't done in about five or six years.
• 2:19
  So I only felt once. Yeah cast Yeah, I bowled uh like four,
• 2:25

  Dix is a great sporting good store. It really is. We've got one

  brought to you by Dix. Right, let's get out that, Daniel.
• 2:57
  Come on, Yeah, let me see what I can do about that one.
• 3:00
  So I'm not traveling today. I'm in the driveway as usual, but
• 3:02
  right right, I'll be traveling tomorrow. The path of the Big eclipse.
• 3:10
  Oh okay, yeah, the path of totality is north of us. So
• 3:19
  I'm taking my son out of school and we're driving up to my buddy's house
• 3:23
  and we're gonna stand in his front yard look in the sky. So cool.
• 3:28
  Yeah, I like it. Yep, we have our path. No,
• 3:32
  no, you're nowhere near the path. We're kind of clothes. It's
• 3:38
  gonna be like nine, so I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna step outside.
• 3:43
  Yeah, okay, yeah. I love all the conspiracy theories happening about the
• 3:46
  solar clus my favorite. The internet is nuts. What was the meme?
• 3:53
  What was the meme you put up like an hour ago with or maybe you
• 3:58
  put it up in the group in our group chat. It was the lightning
• 4:02
  striking the Statue of Liberty, oh ghost and and thet in the East Coast
• 4:08
  earthquake from Friday and then and then are you okay, Dan? Yeah?
• 4:13
  Yeah, no, I'm good. We will we will rebuild. I was
• 4:17
  at work. I was at work and my wife texted me. She said,
• 4:21
  did you feel that earthquake like three minutes ago? And I said,
• 4:25
  I felt it. I just thought they were moving furniture upstairs. And I
• 4:28
  went right back to work talking about Yes, yes, somebody get me the
• 4:33
  Ghostbusters. Yeah. My wife was on the toilet and she she heard the
• 4:43
  silverware shaking on the other side of the house. So yeah, that's all
• 4:47
  four point eight. Is that what I heard? Yep, that's pretty strong.
• 4:53
  That's that's a pretty strong one. And then I don't know if the
• 4:56
  buildings over there I raided for for earthquakes. Yeah, I don't know.
• 5:00
  No, they're only rated for snow and hurricanes. Yeah right, yeah,
• 5:05
  well I'll got that special earthquake you know that's swaying that they have to do,
• 5:11
  right. Yeah. Yeah. They probably don't have all their like,
• 5:13
  you know, bookcases and stuff like attached to the wall. No, no,
• 5:19
  yeah. I have a cousin who was in Los Angeles traveling for work
• 5:26
  when when they had the big one and it was like ninety two or ninety
• 5:30
  three, the one that interrupted the World Series. Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
• 5:33
  And he said, he said, I was in my hotel room and
• 5:38
  and the whole world was just shaking around me. And he says, I
• 5:42
  was just laying on the floor in the middle of the hotel room like the
• 5:45
  fetal position, just waiting for waiting for it to stop. Or the building
• 5:50
  to come down one of the two. What was funny is having grown up
• 5:55
  there. Right in school, at the beginning of the school, you're just
• 5:58
  like with all your school supplies. They made you bring in a little like
• 6:00
  pack of non perishable food in case there was an earthquake at the school.
• 6:04
  Oh yeah, I have something there, you know. But at the end
• 6:09
  of the year, every year you had your earthquakes party and you just ate
• 6:12
  your snacks. Yeah. Basically they handed you back your pack and said here
• 6:15
  you go, and all the kids are just sitting there recessing, eating their
• 6:18
  granola bars. Yeah. Well New York City is different. They figured there's
• 6:23
  enough rats around that nobody's gonna Also, how long do you have to go
• 6:28
  without food before it really becomes a problem, right, The pack is not
• 6:32
  going to save you, like the bottle of water might makes sense, but
• 6:35
  that even takes you know, three or four days. This was elementary school.
• 6:40
  Yeah, yeah, like that was that wasn't for you. That was
• 6:45
  teaching you shut up and eat your fruit snacks. I don't I don't know
• 6:48
  when the fire department is coming fruit snacks right? Yeah, by the foot
• 6:58
  Oh God from Big League Chew, Big Lead Jew yeah, yeah, neighbor,
• 7:06
  that's dating me. The Great East Coast Shake twenty twenty four, The
• 7:16
  Wolf two K Forever Project, Yeah, air Wolf, what's the Wolf?
• 7:26
  So there's there's T shirts already. Oh I know. Yeah. In New
• 7:30
  York City the earthquake was like ten o'clock in the morning. Yeah, and
• 7:33
  by by eleven thirty there were like Haitian guys on the street corner with boxes
• 7:40
  and T shirts. Doesn't surprise me. Only like they were like they were
• 7:43
  still warm from coming out of the press, right, you know, I
• 7:46
  remember. Yeah, It's it's amazing how quickly people will start printing that up.
• 7:50
  Well, because the technology now is it's pretty easy to print out of
• 7:54
  a T shirt. I was in Florida in ninety nine when Hurricanes George went
• 8:00
  through, and I came home with a T shirt that said I survived Hurricane
• 8:05
  George. And they came out like twenty four hours later. Oh wow,
• 8:09
  yeah no, this this was like two hours. Did you get your T
• 8:11
  shirt? I did not get a T shirt? No, okay, I
• 8:15
  did not. No. No. If New York is gonna buy one of
• 8:20
  those, that's all for tourists. If all wants to send me one I'll
• 8:24
  send him my Uh, I'll send him my address, but I'm not sure
• 8:26
  it's it'll be one that's like the earthquake and the and the eclipse by next
• 8:31
  week. So here you go. Yeah, get the two back back.
• 8:37
  How about you let me be exciting going on over by you. Uh.
• 8:39
  I had to go to Montana yesterday. Okay, No, well it was
• 8:48
  it was literally last minute, like Friday night. My Dad's like, yeah,
• 8:50
  so we're gonna go to Montana at like six in the morning. Wait
• 8:52
  what he was donating a truck to charity, so oh cool, Yeah,
• 8:58
  a little used pick up, so take it over there and drop it off.
• 9:03
  And yeah, that was not what I had planned to do yesterday.
• 9:05
  But okay it was a Yellowstone ranch. Ha is that for you? Uh?
• 9:13
  The Montana State boarder is maybe like an hour or so away, but
• 9:16
  where we needed to go was like two hours from my house. So you
• 9:20
  know, you know, our European listeners are like, oh my god right
• 9:24
  now, because yeah, you know, whenever they hear about the distances that
• 9:28
  New York or New York is that Americans yeah will will drive to two things,
• 9:33
  it blows them away. Yeah. Yeah, you know, we drove
• 9:37
  all the way there. Found out that Montana has casinos everywhere. That nice.
• 9:43
  Nice? Yes, so did you play? No, I didn't have
• 9:46
  time. We just were there to drop it off and leave. But literally
• 9:50
  everywhere casinos. He's into a different kind of dice. That's right, that's
• 9:56
  true. That's true. That's true. Yeah. So all right, we're
• 10:01
  eleven minutes in. We should probably talk about Star Tarks. Yeah, let's
• 10:03
  get into the come on, yeah, let's let's delay it as long as
• 10:09
  possible. Star Trek News all right, uh yeah, our first new story
• 10:20
  comes to us from Variety. It looks like the deal between Paramount and Guy
• 10:26
  Dance Media is getting closer and closer. They are in talks right now.
• 10:33
  Apparently the transfer would be a five billion dollars to make this kind of merging
• 10:41
  together. Most of that would be in stock, but two billion in cash
• 10:45
  would go to Paramount's main stock arm shareholder, Sherry Redstone. Is what it's
• 10:50
  looking like. Another little bit of wrinkle that's going on right now with this
• 10:56
  merger is apparently Paramount is in the middle of carry your fees negotiations with Charter
• 11:01
  Cable, the second largest cable company in the country, and and if they
• 11:09
  don't take the deal that's really gonna uh kind of screw over paramount cash flow
• 11:15
  apparently, so if you've seen some big changes really soon. M This also
• 11:22
  kind of puts in the light that big story last week with how great Star
• 11:26
  Trek is that they'd ran a variety. Yeah yeah, it's slapping that hood
• 11:31
  if here you got. Yeah yeah, So what do you guys think about
• 11:39
  sky Dance owning them that they do a lot of Tom Cruise movies and things
• 11:43
  like that. Nobody's gonna know what this is really gonna mean. I mean,
• 11:50
  I don't know. It's didn't Skydance do the jj abrams. They produced
• 11:56
  the second and third, second and third movie Star Trek movie, Okay,
• 12:01
  yeah, right right right, the best funds Yeah yeah, so so so
• 12:11
  far they're only their only experience with Star Trek. Sky Dances experience with Star
• 12:16
  Trek is producing two mediocre Star Trek movies. Yeah. I mean, well
• 12:24
  then you know, if I had a bunch of papers, I would just
• 12:28
  throw them up in frustration and get out of the car and walk towards the
• 12:31
  wall. I mean, I'm so frustrated with it. We don't know what
• 12:37
  it's going to mean for Trek, which is what we're talking about here.
• 12:41
  We don't know, you know, if the power is to be at at
• 12:46
  that sky dance, whatever it's called, if there's anybody there higher up that's
• 12:52
  into Star Trek, that cares about Star Trek, that understands Star Trek,
• 12:56
  you know. Right, Well, here here's the thing. These companies don't
• 13:03
  buy something to just let it sit there. They buy something to make money
• 13:09
  off of it. And the only way to make money off of Star Trek
• 13:11
  is by making more Star Trek. So yeah, I meantully more Star Trek,
• 13:22
  but they're buying They're not buying Star Trek. They're buying Paramount, right,
• 13:26
  yes, yes, but that's that's that's a piece of it. That's
• 13:28
  a money making piece of it. So from a business standpoint, it doesn't
• 13:33
  make sense for them to just let it sit there. They would either make
• 13:37
  more of it to sell more of it, or sell it to someone else
• 13:41
  and let them make more of it to sell more of it. So you
• 13:46
  know, who gets the hold of it. I know where I know this
• 13:52
  analogy is is not the best given the last few outings that they had.
• 13:58
  But when Disney bought Marvel, Marvel really started firing on all cylinders. Sure
• 14:07
  right, that has since they have since slowed down and the and the quality
• 14:11
  has decreased. But uh, initially, you know, Disney bought Marvel,
• 14:20
  and Marvel started producing two quality films a year for a good five or six
• 14:24
  years straight, right, right, So I'm cautious, cautiously optimistic so much
• 14:33
  so much good. Yeah, because my other thing about what Sky answer is,
• 14:37
  yeah, they made they made Into Darkness, but they also did Beyond
• 14:41
  and it really did seem like they learned lessons from Into Darkness to improve.
• 14:46
  So well, if if Star Trek can fall into the hands of somebody who
• 14:50
  knows how to learn lessons from previous mistakes, then I'm all for it,
• 14:54
  because the people who are in charge of Start Trek now don't seem to have
• 15:00
  that ability. The next mission, Tom Cruise Leaping off the Hall of the
• 15:05
  Enterprise, brought to you by Sky Dance. Yeah, sure what I can't
• 15:13
  wait for that, Bob, the Star Trek crossover. Yes, yeah,
• 15:18
  I just thought of the perfect one, and it kind of fits Star Trek
• 15:20
  n c I S crossover. Oh there you go perfectly. Yeah, that's
• 15:26
  right. I'm waiting for the Action Through spin off I wait for the for
• 15:35
  the figures to show up at the stores. Yes, about the little spikes
• 15:41
  that come out, Yeah, would those pop out or would they be like
• 15:46
  a little you know, you got to attach them in. I think you'd
• 15:48
  have to have like a fourteen inch action figure and then make the spikes like
• 15:52
  fireable, put little nerve darts in there. Nice, all right, And
• 15:58
  then our next news story comes to us from screen rant and during South By
• 16:03
  Southwest last week, the majority of the Discovery crew was on stage and they
• 16:08
  kind of did a joint interview. It's a really long story, so I'm
• 16:12
  gonna put it in the show notes, but some of the highlights was,
• 16:15
  you know, they did go into the season knowing that this would be the
• 16:18
  last, so they really took time to enjoy things. They said that they
• 16:22
  kind of put everything they could out there. One thing that I thought was
• 16:27
  kind of interesting was Wilson Cruz said that his character Doctor Colbert has really inspired
• 16:33
  him to be a better person. He feels like Doctor Colbert's a better version
• 16:37
  of himself, so especially with Yeah, especially the way like he helps inspires
• 16:44
  people and all that. So he says he's really going to try to live
• 16:47
  up to that also the fact that he now realizes that he looks good and
• 16:49
  white. So I thought that was funny, all right, And then another
• 17:00
  news story comes to us from Star Trek dot com. I don't know if
• 17:04
  you guys saw, but yesterday a the Berlin Union Berlin football team aka soccer
• 17:12
  released their Star Trek jerseys. They played the game yesterday with as this is
• 17:18
  the Star Trek jersey. So I don't know if these will be available for
• 17:22
  purchase. I'm sure they will be at some point. So it's got the
• 17:26
  uh you want to describe the it's it's a white jersey with red striping on
• 17:32
  the shoulders and then dead center in the middle is the the delta, the
• 17:37
  Start Trik delta. Yeah, kind of has a Nikes sotion it too.
• 17:42
  I think what they did they shrunk the delta down so that it fits perfectly
• 17:48
  within the sphere that it's usually over right, and then they have the swish
• 17:52
  going across it, so it looks like a soccer ball and a Starfleet amblem
• 17:57
  all at the same time. What they were going for. Okay, yeah,
• 18:02
  I can see that. So yeah, so this was the jerseys,
• 18:06
  and they played a game yesterday with them. Unfortunately, the Delta did not
• 18:10
  help them as they lost their match one point zero one two Lavernston, I
• 18:19
  don't know, some other team I don't know sports. Yeah, and what
• 18:26
  what were they wearing? Oh, I don't know. Something fashionable of course
• 18:30
  the Klingon emblem. Was it some other old show where they wearing like there
• 18:38
  you go? Yeah? Yeah, threes company? Who knows? Who knows?
• 18:45
  Who knows? And then our last news story comes to us from what
• 18:49
  is this website? CTV News. It's a Canadian news channel, and I
• 18:56
  think we could play a little clip of this. This U for first Contact
• 19:02
  Day the other day they got to tour a super fan's home and so let's
• 19:07
  let's play a little bit of this. My name is or Captain J Roach
• 19:14
  of the US s Acadia. I've been a Star Trek fan all my life.
• 19:18
  Fascinating. This all started when I went and saw The Star Trek the
• 19:23
  motion picture. I left the movie theater as a kid. The interview,
• 19:26
  so he house, I want one into the Star Trek corrections and he he's
• 19:37
  got Alexis set up everywhere and he can talk to it, and he can
• 19:42
  any any Star Trek function you can think of. The Red alert. He
• 19:47
  can set you know, yellow alert, fire all the things and it'll do
• 19:52
  all the sound effects, changes the lighting in his house. It's kind of
• 19:55
  neat, you know. Yeah, he's got an elaborate set up and he's
• 19:59
  definitely got some fu money. Yeah. Yeah. It's also got a lot
• 20:03
  of curtains that cover up a lot of them. Yeah that that cut down
• 20:07
  the castle. With that he has, he has quite the collection. He's
• 20:11
  also uh you know, if you read further down, it says he hasn't
• 20:14
  been outside in seven years, right right, Well, I mean he's like
• 20:21
  he's like nag at that episode where he wouldn't leave in Las Vegas. Yeah,
• 20:26
  but you know, give it the state of affairs. You had access
• 20:30
  to a place like that, how often would you trick outside? Tell you
• 20:34
  what? For years, I've had this dream in my head of having a
• 20:40
  home theater that looks like the bridge of a starship. Yeah, oh yeah,
• 20:45
  I would love to do something like that. I don't have the room
• 20:47
  for that right now, but you know someday, you know, twenty years
• 20:52
  from now, when you retire and yeah, you know, yeah, so
• 20:59
  what is that? What does that do for the resale value of your home?
• 21:02
  Oh? I'm sure it makes it. Yeah. I imagine the realtor
• 21:06
  you know, walking somebody through and they're like, this is the uh,
• 21:08
  let me look at the notes, this is the the bridge right. Well,
• 21:12
  Dan, there's precedent. I mean there's guys out there that have tried
• 21:15
  that have you know, there there was one guy I think the UK get
• 21:18
  up his apartment, you know, and and you know it, the price
• 21:22
  of it plummeted. And I get it because you know, you're looking after
• 21:26
  a very specific, you know group clientele. Yeah, you know. Yeah,
• 21:33
  And it's one thing if it's like in a big city where chances are
• 21:37
  there's other fans that might be willing to purchase your home. But if you're
• 21:41
  in the middle of a rural area or you're the the Star Trek guy,
• 21:45
  yeah, that would make your well. And even if you're a huge Star
• 21:48
  Trek fan, Like, if you're going to spend that kind of money,
• 21:51
  you want to you know, curate it to your specific needs. You want
• 21:56
  it to you know, if I walked into that place, I'd be like,
• 21:59
  you know, get rid of all this stuff, and get rid of
• 22:00
  all this discovery stuff. I just want to focus on TNG and Dee s's
• 22:03
  sign of voyager, right, whereas I'd be like, I need all this
• 22:08
  prodigy stuff. Let's put it in right exactly. Honestly, I think I
• 22:12
  think there's ways to do it to get the best of both worlds. No
• 22:18
  punish if you look at the if you look at the TNG Bridge, not
• 22:25
  to copy it directly, but to take inspiration from it. And even Picard
• 22:30
  said this in the last episode of Picard season three. He misses the carpet
• 22:37
  The TNG Bridge felt like home. It was, it was carpeted, there
• 22:41
  was wood grain. So if you make a very tasteful looking home theater that
• 22:48
  also kind of looks like the bridge of a starship. Mm. But it's
• 22:55
  a home theater, right, that will still add value. Yeah? Oh
• 23:00
  sure sure. I mean, would you guys somebody else to start trick?
• 23:06
  No, because if I could afford it, I would build my own to
• 23:07
  my specifications. Oh, we just got an alert for Scott. Uh.
• 23:15
  Oh you left me and Dick for the team. Boy, you might be
• 23:18
  broke when you when you get done. Oh oh no, yeah, that's
• 23:22
  my wife. Yeah. Yeah, so there you go. There's that message
• 23:26
  for you. All right, okay, all right, boys, Well let's
• 23:30
  wrap it up. Good show. Yeah, yeah, are you done with
• 23:33
  the news, Yeah, we're do with the news. Okay. I wanted
• 23:37
  to wow, I wanted to add something to the well, I don't I
• 23:44
  don't know if it's news or not. But did you guys here that they're
• 23:45
  trying to make a Voyager documentary? Yeah, they've been trying for a while
• 23:49
  now, okay, I mean i've heard more recently that there. What's that?
• 23:56
  I said no, he said yes, and I said, okay,
• 23:57
  I mean stories about it? Yeah, okay, I thought of the perfect
• 24:03
  name for it. We had the documentary that was called What We Left Behind
• 24:10
  Star Trek Voyager, a three hour tour. Nice. Nice, So everybody
• 24:15
  start your letter writing campaigns Now, did the dsin documentary is doing the Voyager?
• 24:26
  So I've spent months coming up with that one, I know, months,
• 24:32
  I tell you. All Right, Well, let's get to our main
• 24:37
  topic. Fun will now comment. So we had two episodes of Star Trek
• 24:52
  Discovery two season. Let's see, what was the name of the so here
• 25:02
  red Red Red Dead, Redemption? Right? The first one and under the
• 25:08
  twin Moons, I've got yeah, so Red. Since you love the Red
• 25:17
  Angel, here's the red directive. Oh boy. Yeah, Captain Burnham and
• 25:22
  her crew of the USS Discovery are sent to retrieve a mysterious artifact that is
• 25:26
  hidden inside an eight hundred year old Romulant vessel, but to find it,
• 25:30
  they're not the only ones on the hunt. Meanwhile, Suru is offered a
• 25:34
  position of a lifetime So that's the first log line. So I figured we'll
• 25:38
  just go through these one episode at a time real quick. Sure. Yeah,
• 25:42
  so, yeah, they haven't done this since the first season, having
• 25:48
  a two episode premiere. Okay, we basically got to see you get it
• 25:52
  over with, Yes, but this is the last live back from Star Trek
• 26:00
  we're gonna have this year. Yeah, I mean, unless you know,
• 26:03
  why don't you just pour some salt on it, Daniel. Section thirty one
• 26:07
  might come out later this year. We don't really know. I guess right,
• 26:11
  I will know. But yeah, we were introduced to some new characters,
• 26:18
  a Bonnie and Clyde type couple. I like these guys. Yeah.
• 26:26
  Oh. Karen pointed out that that's the lady from from when it's Star Trek
• 26:33
  shows. Ahsoka is it? I think it's Soka is a Star Wars show.
• 26:41
  But yeah, that same that's the same actress, That's what he was
• 26:47
  saying. I understood. I immediately thought. I immediately thought to myself,
• 26:53
  it looks like she looks too much like this character from from Ahsoka. I
• 26:57
  don't think it's the same nothing, that's the same actress, though, But
• 27:00
  I could be wrong. Yea, So here we are, here we are.
• 27:07
  They're in a plun shop with data. That's right, as Scott said,
• 27:15
  yep, yeah, Fred. But what I'm angry about this about dare
• 27:26
  the Discovery people. Alex Kirchman. You need to quit. You just need
• 27:30
  to quit. Okay. You don't know, you don't know anything about Star
• 27:33
  Trek. You don't care about the story, you don't care about these characters,
• 27:37
  and you just crap. You just crapped on data. You just took
• 27:41
  a giant, giant turd and said it right on data. This was a
• 27:47
  throwaway character. And you did this for no reason. No, no,
• 27:52
  no, no, no, they had a reason. They had a reason.
• 27:55
  What was it? You want to know the reason? Yeah, they're
• 27:57
  telling the world. Hey, you know that other Star Trek that you guys
• 28:02
  really really really really really like, even though it's it's thirty five years old.
• 28:07
  Yeah, we're part of that too, because look, right, we
• 28:11
  we also have a character who's like who's like Data, and and you know
• 28:15
  what, we're doing this storyline here and really really it's a sequel to this
• 28:19
  other story that was from that other show that you guys really like. And
• 28:25
  look we have we have Romulins in their twenty fourth century Romulins in the twenty
• 28:29
  fourth century Rylin ship. It's it's like, please please lump us together.
• 28:34
  Yeah, that's that's absolutely what they're doing. And they're and you know,
• 28:38
  I get, I get why they're doing that, but they're not even doing
• 28:42
  it right. Who the hell is Alton Sung? I know, I know,
• 28:48
  I know who he is because I watched I watched a card. But
• 28:51
  that's what I was gonna say. That's Sung type androids. Sung type androids
• 28:56
  are named for Nunion Sung, not Alton Sung. They may some who they
• 29:00
  made up last year. Because this is not a sense he's a he's a
• 29:03
  pond. They made it sound like he was just like Data, like the
• 29:07
  construction wise, he's got the same skin tone, the eyes, the hair,
• 29:11
  the you know, I mean, I noticed that his similar liking was
• 29:15
  governed by the Fourier system. But yeah, I will say this. I
• 29:21
  did see a lot of posts in different Star Trek Facebook and Reddit groups.
• 29:26
  A lot of people are very into Fred, not just as a character,
• 29:32
  but they are open for all sorts of fan picture with freda oh boy.
• 29:36
  So yeah, he has caused quite the steam in undise. I hope he
• 29:41
  stays dead from the chaser photon blast that he got. There would be a
• 29:48
  million like books where he comes back to life and the Adventures of Fred h
• 29:53
  comic. I mean, I understand why they why they introduced him, both
• 30:00
  in story and out of story. It's it's for Stammets. Because Stammets is
• 30:04
  watching his what he believes was going to be his legacy. He's watching that
• 30:08
  evaporate in front of him. The spot Drive is being you know, discontinued
• 30:15
  or or whatever. So you know, I understand that they wanted to make
• 30:19
  this this comparison, all the more reason it should be Nunion's song, not
• 30:23
  Walton sung right exactly, because I can understand them, you know, making
• 30:30
  a series of androids that were based on Data's type mm hmm. You know
• 30:36
  that that aren't since since they're you know, sooon type androids, Unions type
• 30:44
  androids mm hmm. It was interesting to me that he was a collector.
• 30:48
  I wouldn't think one of those androids would care about collecting anything. Well,
• 30:53
  I wouldn't think that one of the lds would care about it. Yeah,
• 30:56
  we don't. We don't know who he belongs to, right, I was
• 31:00
  just glad they didn't, you know, allude that he was like Lore or
• 31:06
  before or you know, I don't know. Yeah, I'm not happy,
• 31:14
  te J. Even when the show has decent episodes, it just still feels
• 31:18
  off. It does it? Does it every way? In charge. I
• 31:25
  don't wanna. I don't want to constantly take a dump on Discovery. But
• 31:32
  you know, I've said over and over and over and over on this show
• 31:33
  that I never I never rewatch Discovery episodes. I never even have the desire
• 31:38
  to rewatch them. They have no rewatchability. I rewatched every single episode of
• 31:45
  Discovery leading up to this, okay, And when I finished the last episode
• 31:55
  of season four, which was the longest. Season four took me the longest
• 32:00
  to get through because there were certain episodes where it took me three sittings to
• 32:05
  get through an episode. And when it was all over and I got to
• 32:08
  the end of the season, Paramount Plus was like, hey, you might
• 32:14
  also like this show called Picard, Right, So I then I then rewatched
• 32:22
  season three of Picard in like two days. It only took me two days
• 32:29
  to go through the whole thing, and I loved eighty seven point five percent
• 32:36
  of it. And it just kind of, I don't know, reinforce.
• 32:43
  It reinforced for me that that this is not a good show. Right.
• 32:49
  It was funny is that you said the exact same thing about two years ago?
• 32:52
  Yeah? Yeah, but what the point I'm the point I'm making.
• 32:58
  The point I'm making Scott, it is, I've tried. I'm not just
• 33:01
  one of these people who's like, a, it's not my Star Trek.
• 33:05
  I'm not watching back in my nice Star Trek shaking your cane and all that.
• 33:09
  Yeah yeah, get off, Get off my lawn. I'll give you
• 33:13
  twenty bucks if you keep that persona up for the rest of the show.
• 33:16
  You got it, Let me send you my paper. Get off, Get
• 33:23
  off. Yeah. So yeah, yeah, So basically the Bonnie and Clyde
• 33:31
  couple, they go to Fred with like a I don't know, it's like
• 33:36
  a box. It reminded me of romulin. It's a romulin puzzle box.
• 33:40
  Yeah, kind of reminded me of the thing from from Hell Raiser, the
• 33:45
  Configuration. Do you guys know that? Which I think I'm the only one
• 33:50
  who goes. My wife might know that series, but I don't. Okay,
• 33:54
  basically it's it's it's a puzzle box. Eventually he gets opened up and
• 33:59
  they're there is a map to a set of clues to find some great power
• 34:06
  that they're looking for, some great treasure. We even got to visit tattooing,
• 34:09
  which was nice. With the discovery for got to write on some speeders,
• 34:15
  I mean sand bikes, and at the beginning of the episode, somebody
• 34:21
  is surfboarding on a spaceship and of course guess who it had to be,
• 34:24
  right, Yeah, I had to be Michael h That was my favorite because
• 34:29
  that's an old writing trick where you don't have an interesting opening, so you
• 34:31
  you cut to an interesting part of your story and then flashback to where you
• 34:36
  actually is your sinning and then catch up with it. Yeah, you know,
• 34:40
  I've heard Dan say a lot like he doesn't like the trope, where
• 34:45
  like you say, hey, let's do that thing like we did on Ridian
• 34:46
  one, or let's yeah, I hate the action scene and then a cut
• 34:52
  to four hours earlier. I hate that, I asked, especially if that
• 34:57
  four hours earlier is at the end of the episode, beginning of the episode,
• 35:00
  or they waited the entire episode. At least this one. They caught
• 35:02
  up to it pretty quickly, right, But I just can't stand it.
• 35:07
  Don't show me that, show me how, show me the lead up,
• 35:08
  show me the story from A to B two c. My My favorite part
• 35:13
  of that like party scene is at one point they do a name graphic for
• 35:16
  Stammets, and I legit thought they were going to start doing name graphics for
• 35:22
  all the characters, like like like like the love Boat. Yeah, yeah,
• 35:30
  I really thought they were gonna be like they really realized nobody does the
• 35:32
  names of these characters. They've been listening to our show. Well. Another
• 35:39
  thing I did notice, especially these last these two episodes, is they really
• 35:44
  started every saying everybody's name repeatedly. You know, they Reese, come here,
• 35:52
  burn them over here, Captain Burnham, like constantly, Yeah, you
• 35:57
  know, I guess five season ends, let's do it, yep. Yeah
• 36:02
  uh. And then we also got our own new our own new shop.
• 36:07
  I mean Captain Dick himself basically yeah, so this actor, Yeah, I
• 36:17
  like this actor. Yeah, I remember him from Battlestar Galactica. He was
• 36:22
  one of the uh he was one of the human cylons. He was also
• 36:28
  he was also in a show called Due South years ago, which was a
• 36:35
  Canadian MOUNTI you paired up with. I think it was the Chicago, uh
• 36:38
  police detective and he played the the Chicago he had the Chicago accident he played
• 36:45
  I remember the Chicago detective. Was he from Chicago? Oh? I didn't
• 36:52
  make that connection? Yeah, dip ship from Chicago. Can I ask the
• 36:57
  question what what species was he? I'm not sure. Yeah, but here's
• 37:01
  here's but here's the thing. We're so far into the future at this point
• 37:08
  where you can't assume anymore that he's one species, right because the president,
• 37:15
  the president is is human and Kardassian and I think but Joran also, right,
• 37:21
  wasn't that a little bit of what's that? That guy a little bitpin
• 37:25
  could have been like one sixty fourth PERRINGI right, they all need twenty three
• 37:30
  and me to figure it all out. Yeah, so you know, we
• 37:37
  don't we don't know what he is. Yeah, and you know, I
• 37:42
  think that's on purpose, Like yeah, yeah, I don't know. Yeah,
• 37:52
  new prediction. He's going to be dead. Oh yeah, he's gonna
• 37:54
  die. He's going to die, and one of the bandits is going to
• 37:59
  die, either one, either Rainer is gonna die or he's going to betray
• 38:07
  them one or the other. I don't think. I don't think he might
• 38:13
  out Yeah, something like that might out burn. Book was there. Book
• 38:21
  continues to just be kind of cool and weird. I guess I'm not sure
• 38:25
  why he's there. Yeah, because they give you big storyline reason why he
• 38:30
  needs to be there. Suru was there being Saru, which, uh,
• 38:37
  we need to talk about Saru in a little bit when you talk about and
• 38:39
  his girlfriend. Yeah, yeah, it's fiance now yeah, yeah, Yeah.
• 38:47
  That was a little a little bit jokey for the president of Vulcan to
• 38:53
  be like, oh, you're not gonna tell me, do I need to
• 38:57
  give you a little mind meld? Right? Well, well, she is
• 39:01
  not the president of Vulcans. She is the president of Navarvar and navar is
• 39:07
  a is a is a is a community of Vulcans and Romulans. So they've
• 39:13
  been rubbing off on each other for for hundreds of years. Yes, but
• 39:16
  did she looks. I don't think we can expect or three and four.
• 39:22
  I mean she might be part romulant as well, right right, you could
• 39:25
  have a little bit of you know, I suppose yeah, I don't know.
• 39:32
  It seems like like jokingly threatening somebody with a with a vulcan mind meld
• 39:38
  would be like uncouth. You know what if that's if that's her mate.
• 39:46
  People say things to their mate. I guess like, hey, am I
• 39:51
  gonna have a'm I gonna have to throw you down on this bed? Yeah?
• 39:53
  You know that gets things that people say to each other. I can
• 39:57
  take this knife to your throat, honey. Well, whoa whoa, whoa
• 40:02
  Wow Hey Daniel, Daniel, Yeah, send a message to desire ask if
• 40:09
  everything is okay, Yes, exactly if she if she needs someone to meet
• 40:14
  her at Dick's, yeah, we'll take care of it. Yeah, yeah,
• 40:20
  tell you Blake Blake twice right right. My big question is, okay,
• 40:30
  so he's engaged now, right? Bachelor Party? Is that one of
• 40:36
  the episodes It's gonna be on Discovery in there, you know, party room.
• 40:39
  I mean I can see it happening. Just go lights a. Yeah,
• 40:46
  I don't know, contact Chad, see if he's still alive. Scott's
• 40:52
  Great of Terror begins. He's alive. Des Ray said that he's in our
• 40:57
  basement. Oh okay, we feed him. Okay, yeah, talk Well
• 41:16
  the show. Did you guys catch did you guys catch Morn in the party
• 41:23
  scene? Yeah? I saw the mourn. We don't know. I can't
• 41:25
  remember his species, but that kind of shows up time the time. Yeah,
• 41:30
  we've seen him a couple of times, but yeah, I saw him.
• 41:34
  It don't be great. Yeah, if that, if that, if
• 41:37
  that actually is mourn, he's just that. Yeah, we had no idea
• 41:43
  they've had a mourn before, though they have in season three, sohas Let
• 41:51
  me ask you something. So, I guess these Starfleet away mission suits just
• 42:00
  have like a portable replicator on the wrist. Now you just you just kind
• 42:05
  of call for your your your phaser and it shows up. It's like your
• 42:10
  hand out and it's summoned to you. It's the same technology from Star Trek
• 42:16
  Voyager, Elite Force. I don't know that one the video. Okay,
• 42:24
  Yeah, it was a first person, third per It was a shooter kind
• 42:28
  of thing, all right, So Michael PS two, I had it years
• 42:36
  ago. I had it years ago. I think. But anyways, all
• 42:38
  right, so Michael and Saru they're down on the planet. They each have
• 42:40
  they each have a phaser, all right. They come up with this plan
• 42:45
  where Seru is going to run to distract the drones and Michael is going to
• 42:50
  set the phasers to overload and and throw them in the skull and and all
• 42:58
  right, well I'm talking about okay, okay, So Saru gives Michael his
• 43:05
  phaser and starts running so she can do that. She does that, They
• 43:10
  disarm everything, They're going to continue on their mission. And what do they
• 43:15
  do before they walk away? Joop? They each call for a new phaser?
• 43:19
  Yeah right, So if they could do that, why did he give
• 43:23
  his to her? Why didn't she just call for another one and use those?
• 43:28
  And at least Seru could run away from these drones I don't know,
• 43:30
  with a phaser in his hand and maybe defend himself. That's the first.
• 43:35
  The second thing, if if you can just summon a weapon out of your
• 43:40
  portable replicator, why aren't you summoning a grenade? Why are you? Yes?
• 43:50
  Okay. My point is another reason I'm not happy with them being this
• 43:53
  far into the future is that the technology has progressed so far, and they
• 44:00
  can do so many things now that it kind of messes with the writing.
• 44:06
  If you can do anything, then then there's no fear of not being able
• 44:10
  to do something. In order to uh, in order to introduce stress into
• 44:16
  a situation, you have to forget about certain abilities that they have. Writing
• 44:21
  hasn't evolved to catch up. Yeah, they what it needs is you know,
• 44:25
  I'll say this writing you have you have to put limitations. Yeah,
• 44:30
  you have to have rules and limitations for your technology. And they've progressed the
• 44:32
  technologies. Yes, Yes, they've progressed their technology so far. Okay,
• 44:37
  they have these personal transporters. Now, why are we calling the ship saying
• 44:43
  get me out of here? Right? What's the point? What's the point?
• 44:46
  Yeah, And they do that all the time. They go back and
• 44:50
  forth between I'm gonna tap my chest twice and use my personal transporter to you
• 44:53
  know, discovery, get me out of here. Yeah, the ship pulls
• 44:57
  them out. My first thought when I saw that is ma, maybe that
• 45:00
  the personal transporters have a range limitation. But they need to say that.
• 45:05
  You need you need to establish you need to establish the rules. Right.
• 45:08
  A simple line of dialogue would would fix all that, Dan, What do
• 45:13
  you think about the the like the phasers turning into like you know, SBR
• 45:17
  short bearter of rifles. They like they had the hand phaser and then it
• 45:21
  would they could make it change into a rifle. Right, did you see
• 45:24
  that, Dan Daniel? I must have saw that. Okay, okay,
• 45:29
  yeah, that must be. That must have been a point where I was
• 45:31
  looking at the back of my eyelids as I rolled my They're holding the phaser
• 45:37
  and they can just pull it apart and make not just a longer but a
• 45:40
  larger a rifle rifle. Yeah. I think for the moment it looked cool.
• 45:50
  I get why they did it. Yeah, practically it's it's kind of
• 45:53
  weird. But but like, are you doing make it more powerful, to
• 45:58
  make it better, more accurate, see longer range? Yeah, that's that
• 46:02
  was my thought. What does it do? What? Because it's a laser
• 46:07
  game, right, it's as right? Yeah, how is at any different?
• 46:12
  So you know, here's the There are there are handguns. There are
• 46:19
  handguns out there that can that can shoot shotgun rounds. Okay, the the
• 46:25
  recoil will practically break your wrist. I don't do it, Okay, you
• 46:30
  know, a hand handgun versus a rifle. It's you want to increase.
• 46:36
  You get increased accuracy because the distance between your front site and your rear sight
• 46:40
  is further, so you get better accuracy. But also it displaces some of
• 46:44
  the recoil because there's this big thing that you're holding its little tiny Yeah,
• 46:50
  welcome to weapon cast A. Right, I am the I am the paramount
• 47:00
  tactical advisory. You are because because they need one of those which which which
• 47:07
  segues into my next complaint. Okay, when d Admiral Vance gives them this
• 47:15
  gives them this mission. Uh Captain Shaw, I'm just gonna call him x.
• 47:21
  I can't remember his name. Rayner, thank you. Rayner says,
• 47:27
  is this my mission or hers? And the Admiral's answer is, why don't
• 47:32
  you guys try working together? Wrong? Wrong? One thousand person Ye.
• 47:42
  Wrong. Every military or paramilitary operation has an established chain of command. It
• 47:50
  is important in any operation to always know who is in command. There should
• 47:54
  never be a question as to who is in charge. You should always be
• 48:00
  able to look around and go, he's dead. He's dead. He's dead.
• 48:01
  He's dead. He's dead. She's in command. Oh, she's dead
• 48:06
  too, he's in command every time. Every time there's there there is an
• 48:10
  established system to determine who is in command. Sometimes it's downright silly how it
• 48:17
  goes. Reminded of the episode when Nog gets on the bridge at the Defiant
• 48:22
  for the first time and he looks at Chief and he goes, I mean
• 48:24
  that eventually I could be in jearge. Well, yeah, if you were
• 48:28
  in charge. Yeah, but that's a perfect, perfect there's a perfect example
• 48:34
  of that. Okay, do you remember the one where where Nog and Jake
• 48:37
  get rescued by the USS Valiant and the USS Valiant is under the under the
• 48:42
  command of a third year cadet who had been given the field commission of captain.
• 48:49
  Meanwhile, Nog is an actual commissioned ensign and he is answering to this
• 48:54
  cadet because that's how the change, that's how the established chain of command works.
• 48:59
  This guy has a field commission of captain. He outranks you. Yeah,
• 49:02
  yeah, which you mean you can bet your butt that if Warf showed
• 49:06
  up on that ship. Warf wouldn't be like, oh, you're a commissioned
• 49:08
  captain. I'm just a commander, you know. No, no, get
• 49:13
  out of your kid. Yeah, exactly. Well, I don't know.
• 49:17
  I think I think Wharf would convince him to relinquish command. But yeah,
• 49:25
  he'd be more sensitive than I just portrayed him. Yeah, you're right,
• 49:29
  You're right he would, he would, Wharf would. I'm sure Wharf would
• 49:32
  tell him, you know, Starfleet appreciates your dedication and your service. Mm
• 49:37
  hmm. You need to relinquish command to me, and you know that's it
• 49:44
  will be noted in my log that you did the responsible thing and blah blah
• 49:46
  blah blah blah. But really he can't take If if Warf took command,
• 49:52
  he would be committing mutiny. Yeah, yeah, I know it's tough.
• 49:57
  I know it's tough to swallow. I know it's tough to swallow. But
• 50:00
  well, the other thing about that particular episode, I know this is in
• 50:04
  Deep Sase nine, but uh, they were not wearing the ranks of regular
• 50:08
  commissioned officers. They were they were wearing cadet ranks in that episode. But
• 50:16
  that's a discussion quick question for our predictions later the serious Were you mad within
• 50:22
  the first five minutes? That was one of the questions we had. So
• 50:28
  I need remind me what remind me what the first five minutes. Uh,
• 50:35
  we had surfing, then the party, and then back to surfing. That
• 50:40
  was all the first five minutes. Yeah, I don't know if I was
• 50:45
  mad, But I don't know if I was mad by the surfing. I
• 50:51
  was disappointed. You weren't mad that it had to be Burnham to save the
• 50:55
  day, that it had to be the captain risking her life. No,
• 50:59
  you know what I was mad, Yeah, she's not vanc I didn't think
• 51:05
  Vance is going to show up. Yeah, but I was happy. I
• 51:10
  was happy to see Vance. I like Vance. I was just super disappointed
• 51:15
  that he didn't. You know, I know what they were trying to do
• 51:21
  with say why don't you guys work together? They're trying to have some some
• 51:25
  sort of static between the two of them. They could have just as easily
• 51:30
  done that by having Vance say, uh, it's it's captain. Uh,
• 51:35
  it's Captain Burnham's mission. You will assist her in a support capacity. Okay.
• 51:42
  Now, from his point of view, he says, you know,
• 51:45
  she got here two years ago. Before that, she lived eight hundred years
• 51:49
  in the past. What does she know about this point in history? This
• 51:53
  is ridiculous. And because of that, he doesn't take her seriously, and
• 51:59
  there you go. You got your static between the two characters. I know
• 52:02
  these characters, the ones were after I've chased them before. Like like I
• 52:07
  said, I should be on point yep. Well, and he's got the
• 52:10
  you know, he's got the nine hundred year newer ship and they've got the
• 52:14
  Discovery, but Discovery's got the four drive. And that leads me back to
• 52:17
  an episode of Voyager where Voyager came across that other starship, that much smaller
• 52:22
  starship, and the captain of that ship said, so, who's in charge
• 52:27
  if there's two people of equal rank? And Jane Way says, well,
• 52:30
  I looked it up, and whoever has the basically, whoever ever has the
• 52:34
  bigger ship, the more bigger tech. Actually what it said, she said,
• 52:40
  in times of war, whichever ship has tactical superiority, right, she
• 52:46
  command? And that and that actually fits with what we've seen because in First
• 52:52
  Contact, Picard and the Enterprise E warp onto the scene. Everybody's ship is,
• 52:57
  you know, engaged in battle. He's in the flagship. They have
• 53:00
  zero damage, the admiral is dead. They have tactical superiority. He just
• 53:07
  goes over the comms and says it's Captain McCart I'm taking command of the fleet,
• 53:09
  and no one questions it. And no one questions it because he knew
• 53:14
  the bye laws of a fictional organization. Warning NERD alert, NERD alert.
• 53:22
  You know, I got it. I can't say I have impressed that some
• 53:28
  things I I I recall some things. Other things, you know, I
• 53:31
  don't know, but you know, I just I can't get over the you
• 53:38
  know, the admirals, just like you guys figure it out. No,
• 53:44
  No, you know, most of these organizations, it's you know, rank,
• 53:50
  Okay, they're both the same rank. Then it goes to time and
• 53:52
  rank. If they're both time and rank, if they both have the same
• 53:58
  time and rank, time and serve, if they both have the same time
• 54:01
  in service. You know, there's there's other things. I've been in organizations
• 54:05
  where it's gotten down to who's older. No. Yeah, because they've gone
• 54:12
  through all of these steps, they still can't determine. Hey, we gotta
• 54:14
  have we gotta have a way to determine it. So they have like fifteen
• 54:16
  criteria to make sure somewhere somewhere down the line, we'll figure out who's in
• 54:22
  charge. And then and then there's no question m Yeah, so yeah,
• 54:30
  I don't know. What do you think of our Bonnie and Clac couple?
• 54:34
  Do you guys like them? I like them, I do like them.
• 54:37
  I do like them. I'm eager to see what happens with them. Of
• 54:42
  course, one of them's got to be Cleveland Booker's step niece or however.
• 54:50
  Yeah, which because he lost all his family that last season. Yeah,
• 54:55
  so okay, so what is it? She is the daughter of the previous
• 55:00
  dread pirate Roberts. Is that basically? Yeah? Yess more important than family.
• 55:05
  It's all about family, right, That's right. And then we're all
• 55:08
  gonna have a barbecue at the end of it and drinks. So yeah,
• 55:12
  I like their dynamic and like in previous Trek Cast episodes from two three years
• 55:16
  ago, we've got to mention at least one thing that we love about this,
• 55:20
  that's right. So that's right, and I think this is gonna be
• 55:22
  a good duo. Yeah. He looks like who were the who were the
• 55:29
  villains on the Orville? Oh yeah, that's what I've been I've been trying
• 55:35
  to place him, that's it. Yeah, yeah, which, you know,
• 55:39
  how did you not do that in the news? Uh, there's a
• 55:43
  rumor out there that that four of the Orville that's right, green Light.
• 55:47
  Yeah, I've heard that rumor too. I couldn't get it confirmed anywhere.
• 55:51
  I didn't want it say it until it's confirmed. Plus we had a lot
• 55:55
  of Star Trek news. So yeah, sorry, sorry, you don't have
• 56:02
  to defend yourself. Daniel, It's okay, it's okay. Yesterday day,
• 56:09
  did you did you visit the missile complex? I can't confirm or deny that.
• 56:15
  Okay, Yeah, so this guy Fred, Yeah, did uh did
• 56:21
  we take him with us? Is he a board discovery or did they just
• 56:24
  scan him? And they had to scan him? So they took him,
• 56:29
  they took they shot him at his power plant and then uh, yeah they
• 56:34
  did take they did take all. No, they're not. Are they going
• 56:37
  to revive him? That's what I'm wondering, son of them? So I
• 56:43
  know what I'm wondering. I'm wondering if they're going to revive him and he's
• 56:47
  going to go to the academy with Tilly. Oh my thought was because the
• 56:55
  card in that in that briefing, right, and Piccard is not a real
• 57:00
  boy anymore. Are they going to try to revive robot Picard? Oh,
• 57:07
  I'll go one step further. Yeah, this is Picard and Data in the
• 57:12
  same body. Yeah, I'm just watching the smoke pour out of Scott's are
• 57:17
  you I mean, are you feeding him right now? I have a great
• 57:28
  idea for Little Wayne to guest Star and Discovery. They're gonna have to have
• 57:32
  a synth played by like McAvoy, you know, or or Picards or Patrick
• 57:37
  Sewart's actual son. Yeah. You know what I'm disappointed at. They didn't
• 57:44
  get that. They didn't get the hell yeah guy to play Fred. Oh
• 57:46
  yeah, that'd be great. Yeah. Who's the hell yeah guy from season
• 57:52
  one Picard the synth who was like hell yeah, hell right, yeah,
• 57:57
  okay, hell yeah, hell yeah. You know how, there's this rumor
• 58:07
  going a lot around that Mike Tyson is going to fight Jake Paul. That's
• 58:12
  not a rumor, that's happening. That's not that's not happened. Mike,
• 58:15
  Mike Tyson is going to murder Jake Paul. Yeah. I would like to
• 58:20
  see a grudge match. I want to see a boxing match, bare knuckle
• 58:22
  boxing match between Alex Kirtzman and Terry mettallish. I want to see a grudge
• 58:29
  match between grudge and Spot. Yeah you know what, one cat, one
• 58:35
  cat takes it all. Yeah. Yeah, well, I'm sure they're going
• 58:45
  to bring back Spot at some point too. They have. They brought back
• 58:49
  Spot as a hologram. Yeah, he was in through season three of the
• 58:53
  card. Yep. So Hollow Spot versus Grudge, Okay, let's do it
• 59:00
  versus the Ghost of Porthos and Doc Brown's targ there you go, oh yeah
• 59:10
  yeah yeah. Which that's another thing I have to make. I'll have to
• 59:15
  bring that up to h I played Star Trek Trivial Pursuit with my wife a
• 59:21
  couple weekends ago, and I caught a mistake. They asked what kind of
• 59:27
  pet was Christopher Lloyd's Klingon's characters? What? What was it? And I
• 59:34
  said, that's a targ right, do you remember the targ on that Clearian
• 59:37
  ship? And they said, and I got it wrong, it was a
• 59:42
  Klingon cat. What And I'm like, no, there's a name for that.
• 59:46
  Who were these writers? Come on, yeah, what's the name for
• 59:50
  the cat? There was no name. They just said it was a Klingon
• 59:52
  cat, okay, And I'm like, that's called a targ more dogs cat
• 1:00:00
  dog? Well yeah, exactly. My point like the they didn't, so
• 1:00:05
  I thought I thought it was more like a like a bore. Well,
• 1:00:10
  either way, the cards were wrong, and I was right. There you
• 1:00:14
  go, and I warning warning, NERD alert, NERD alert. Yep,
• 1:00:22
  that's right. Someday, I I think I figured it out. But someday
• 1:00:25
  we're going to play after the season's over. We're gonna play Star Trek Tursuit.
• 1:00:30
  Okay, okay, I'm gonna lose really bad, but okay. Tars
• 1:00:34
  targs were targs were comparable in form to Terran bores, but with spikes on
• 1:00:39
  their backs. Yeah. Yeah, so it's like most importantly they were called
• 1:00:45
  targs. That's that's what it was on the Klingon ship. Yes, yes,
• 1:00:49
  yes, they're targs. God, yeah, there you go, there
• 1:00:53
  go. I was angry about that. Sorry, I'm in a mood.
• 1:00:58
  Now we're talking about since and data and the Kirksman. And yeah, well,
• 1:01:06
  if is like I swear, if a targ is like a bore,
• 1:01:12
  then targs are not kosher or halal. No they're not. And so the
• 1:01:17
  Klingons that are are either Jews, Jewish, or or practice uh they're the
• 1:01:24
  Muslim or practice of Islam. They can't eat targs, so they can't have
• 1:01:30
  heart of tark. Mm hmmm mmmm. Okay, I don't know what if?
• 1:01:37
  What if? What if the klingon bird to prey? Uh? I
• 1:01:45
  still wanted to say something like that accent that would be so offensive, but
• 1:01:49
  I'm not going to. You know, we don't we don't do accents and
• 1:01:53
  we can't. Yeah, uh yeah, I'm getting canceled. All right.
• 1:02:06
  Well, let's let's get to feedback please, yeah, listener feedback. All
• 1:02:15
  right. So we already got Chaz was waiting online, but we did get
• 1:02:19
  an email. So let me let me read this email quick and then we'll
• 1:02:22
  get the Chazz fizz. So this came in from uh Fasbob and the subject
• 1:02:30
  line on the email was Scott is wrong. Oh no, Scott is well,
• 1:02:36
  Scott is wrong about his email address, which it should be Scott is
• 1:02:39

• 1:02:46
  see if that's taken. Yeah, yeah for sure. So yes, you
• 1:02:50
  can email me at Strongbeard seventeen oh one at gmail dot com. So give
• 1:02:55
  me something to do, guys. I did ask on social media what people
• 1:03:00
  thought of the two season premiere. Overall, the people we were pretty positive
• 1:03:06
  about it. I was pretty surprised, a lot of conscious optimism. So
• 1:03:10
  I didn't hate the episodes. I enjoyed watching them. Yeah, me too.
• 1:03:15
  I thought it was fine. Yep. Yeah, it's probably the best
• 1:03:19
  premiere we've had. I think, good premiere. Yeah it was fun.
• 1:03:23
  Yeah, visually it was amazing. Yeah yeah, it's a treat for the
• 1:03:29
  eyes. Yeah I don't know. Yeah, all right, we've got chazz
• 1:03:36
  bits. Let me bring them on space uses apparently, whoa you show space
• 1:03:39
  Jesus? I shaved. Wow, it looked like fifteen years younger. I'm
• 1:03:47
  gonna get carded now. Yeah. Yeah, I like the beanie. That's
• 1:03:53
  great. Yep. Supporting the show. You look like you belong. Yeah.
• 1:04:03
  Yeah. Well the episode, uh, I liked it in a way,
• 1:04:08
  not not loved it, but I liked it. I liked the second
• 1:04:11
  episode better than the first. Let's say that. Why is that? I
• 1:04:15
  thought the first one almost had too much going on? Like it The spinning
• 1:04:20
  cameras really annoy me. Yeah, same here because the whole time you're just
• 1:04:27
  like looking and they're just spinning, and the everything's just panning around, and
• 1:04:31
  it's just like just focus in on the shot. We get it. Watch
• 1:04:34
  out, Scott, Scott, watch out, there's somebody behind you. I
• 1:04:38
  I he that. Yep, I'm always watching your six, buddy. I
• 1:04:44
  appreciate that. What's really funny about the spinning cameras is earlier this week before
• 1:04:48
  the premiere, I had watched a breakdown on like how to do filmmaking and
• 1:04:54
  everything like that, and they were talking about, like, if your story
• 1:04:57
  is not interesting, one technique is those spinning cameras. Yeah, Like they
• 1:05:02
  had examples of all sorts of films that are not good, films that do
• 1:05:06
  that, and how it's only like like you don't see that in Shindler's List.
• 1:05:11
  You don't see that in it is specifically it's trash and they know it,
• 1:05:15
  and so they're trying to spice it up. Well, AP's gone to
• 1:05:21
  that school or that institution, and then the untilie makes these fancy drinks and
• 1:05:29
  then she touches everybody's drinks with their hands, you know, pops the bubbles.
• 1:05:33
  I was like, ohtle to, I want to. I want to
• 1:05:36
  pop the bubble myself. I know exactly. It's like pop your own bubble.
• 1:05:43
  That's like that's like running around and grabbing the little sword out of everyone's
• 1:05:46
  drink and yeah, yes, yes exactly, or the little umbrella. I
• 1:05:51
  mean, like you like what I did, that'd be kind of pissed off.
• 1:06:00
  Or like making one of those Sumerian sunsets and doing the little thing to
• 1:06:02
  it yourself instead of letting the customer do it. Oh yeah, yeah yeah,
• 1:06:10
  instead a bad precedent. She did, she did. I think I
• 1:06:14
  think he's I think he's trying for NERD alerts at this point, NERD alert,
• 1:06:21
  NERD alert Samerian. So I'm not that Am I still on a trial
• 1:06:31
  basis? No? No, okay, good, the trial never ends,
• 1:06:38
  right I went, I went full Q there for a minute. That's right.
• 1:06:47
  You never go full key on the internet. I could feel you never
• 1:06:50
  my ear. Oh I'm thinking the name captain or whatever. He was like,
• 1:07:01
  oh yeah, yeah, the captain that got demoted. All of a
• 1:07:03
  sudden, he's everywhere. He pops up. Yeah it's new show. Yeah
• 1:07:10
  that's awful. A strength dynamic, like we're gonna keep star Fleet or we're
• 1:07:14
  gonna retire you, but then we're also going to allow you to be first
• 1:07:16
  go down to commander and be first officer on another ship on a really temperamental
• 1:07:20
  mission no, and then Michael Burnham's well, he's not like him. He's
• 1:07:26
  not he's not going he's not being demoted, he's losing his he's losing his
• 1:07:32
  command. He's not being demoted to commander. He still has the rank of
• 1:07:36
  captain, but he's going to be first officer on her ship. Yeah,
• 1:07:41
  they shouldn't do that. They've done they've done something. No, they shouldn't.
• 1:07:45
  They shouldn't. It was weird when Sarah was also a captain. Uh,
• 1:07:48
  it's it's still gonna be weird. But something Discovery has done that just
• 1:07:54
  irks me. The phrase number one. That is a nickname that Pike had
• 1:08:01
  for his first officer. That is a nickname that Picard had for his first
• 1:08:06
  officer. That's not the name of the position. That's not the title of
• 1:08:13
  the position. And Discovery has has done this thing where they're like, I
• 1:08:16
  want you to be my number one. He's my number one, that's my
• 1:08:19
  number one, blah blah blah blah blah. No. No, it's like
• 1:08:23
  saying he's my boo, that's my boo. I want my No, it's
• 1:08:26
  my first officer. Yeah, it just sounds silly when they say it,
• 1:08:33
  Come here, boo, well, you know, I'm afraid. I'm afraid
• 1:08:38
  that they did some foreshadowing of that. Also, where she's talking to Saru
• 1:08:43
  about selecting a new first officer. Excuse me, a new number one sounds
• 1:08:46
  so stupid when they say it and he mentions Booker or Booker, whatever's name
• 1:08:53
  is, and it's like, if this is foreshadowing, if they're gonna,
• 1:08:56
  if they're gonna take this smuggler and you know, have him fast forward through
• 1:09:04
  the academy, uh, jump the lower ranks, and suddenly he's first officer
• 1:09:09
  officer on a Federation starship. It's just they're gonna really crap. It makes
• 1:09:14
  sense they're gonna haunt Solo the but you know what, it works for Hans
• 1:09:18
  Solo because that that wasn't a military that was a rebellion where you know,
• 1:09:24
  we take what we can get and this guy has certain skills and we're gonna
• 1:09:27
  put him in this position. You know, this is like this, this
• 1:09:31
  is like the US Navy taking some Nigerian pirate and saying, here, now
• 1:09:38
  you're the you're the first officer on the US I'm the number one. Yeah,
• 1:09:43
  yeah, I'm the number one. Now to introduced an unstable element to
• 1:09:50
  a critical situation. Yeah, for some reason, he's popping up everywhere,
• 1:09:57
  like he's like everywhere, like he knows all the munications, what's what to
• 1:10:01
  do? And to me, it's like, I think he's the bad guy
• 1:10:05
  this season. Something's up with him. I think he knows. Do you
• 1:10:10
  have any guests of what is? Uh? What is species? You know?
• 1:10:15
  I was watching it on the phone in the waiting room at the doctor's
• 1:10:17
  office, so first because it's so small, you know, right, what's
• 1:10:26
  on the phone. And then I was like, hey, like I can
• 1:10:27
  minimize the screen and I can google stuff, and like, I mean,
• 1:10:30
  I don't want to turn this into a racial issue, but I'm curious as
• 1:10:33
  to what is. When he first popped up, I had to look and
• 1:10:35
  see if he was the guy that played Trip's son on Enterprise, because he
• 1:10:42
  kind of looks like that dude too. He went to the future. Remember
• 1:10:45
  they go to the I don't know the future, okay, yeah with the
• 1:10:51
  ball At first before they ended up, it was that son. Oh is
• 1:10:59
  it? Yeah? I thought he's and he's part Balkan. Yeah, I
• 1:11:02
  think he's got point. Yeah, I think that's Archer's son. I thought,
• 1:11:06
  Okay, yeah, maybe you're right, because yeah, it's Paul's son.
• 1:11:13
  All right, Daniel, take away one of those nerd alerts. I
• 1:11:16
  will give me an anti nerd alert. Yeah, you're right, you're right.
• 1:11:20
  I'm sorry. I'm going to go back and watch that episode. They're
• 1:11:26
  looking through the android's eyes, right through Fred. His name is Fred the
• 1:11:30
  android, because they can the android Fred. They've cheap and data's character so
• 1:11:36
  much that you know they're they're they're looking through the McMuffin device because my autocrack
• 1:11:42
  can spell McGuff now, yes, so I'm like typing my notes right,
• 1:11:54
  so they see they see a picture of twin Moons and Michael Burne also knows
• 1:12:00
  what system it is looking at these this picture from an ancient text it's twin
• 1:12:04
  Moons, and knows what system it's on and we're going there and doesn't use
• 1:12:10
  the computer to like look it up or anything. She just knows. M
• 1:12:15
  Yeah, oh, you're absolutely right. I was like, whoa, how
• 1:12:18
  did you find this out? Like you barely even know these systems now,
• 1:12:21
  because this is like far Michael Burnham. Michael Burnham, she knows, she
• 1:12:27
  knows the answer to everything. She knows that the answer to this situation is
• 1:12:31
  to just plunge the nose of my ship right into the ground in front of
• 1:12:36
  Yeah, what what the hell? You've got two ships? You got two
• 1:12:43
  ships, both with functioning tractor beams. Yeah, why are we ramming the
• 1:12:51
  ship into the ground? That makes zero sense? I know. Okay,
• 1:12:56
  what's the doctor's name on there? Coulber? Okay, remember the episode where
• 1:13:01
  they saved Colbert where they had to plunge it in this dark matter or whatever
• 1:13:06
  to bring them back to life. Oh yeah, yeah, remember that one
• 1:13:11
  was on season two. The whole ship stay one person is that when the
• 1:13:19
  ship was half in the my celial network. Yes, likes the whole ship
• 1:13:25
  where where they're like visually, they're like, we're gonna we're gonna cock at
• 1:13:29
  fifteen degrees and that's how everybody knows it's half in the myal network up and
• 1:13:33
  down space. But you know, we turned this ship a little bit like
• 1:13:38
  like this is like this is the layer of a batman villain and it's nineteen
• 1:13:42
  sixty six, you know, gonna turn the camera. Yeah, you're right,
• 1:13:47
  And so it's like, so you you risk the whole ship, you
• 1:13:50
  know, everybody's lives and say one person It's like Spock would be screaming right
• 1:13:56
  now. So it's right, just like to point out that, uh,
• 1:14:01
  you've really put especially me and Dan to shame because you've done more show prep
• 1:14:06
  today than Dan and I have together. He's got I know, I was
• 1:14:15
  bored left for me in the room for a whole hour by myself. So
• 1:14:20
  I'm like, well, I guess I can watch Discovery now a good thing,
• 1:14:28
  and says and Tilly has a hit up Sturfleet Academy show is going to
• 1:14:31
  be like, oh man, I don't know. I'm just not looking forward
• 1:14:35
  to that at all. Yeah, I'm sorry. I love though I think,
• 1:14:41
  yeah, she's a good character, but I do not. I do
• 1:14:47
  not. I've had enough Tilly for the rest of my life. I just
• 1:14:55
  something about her. She just shrubs me the wrong way. I don't know
• 1:14:57
  what it is, because I think she ring is that Barkley like, you
• 1:15:00
  know, uncomfortable and maybe a little bit of ezri too, because everybody in
• 1:15:04
  Star Trek is so confident. They all walk around like they're they've got that
• 1:15:09
  big Riker energy and it's kind of nice to see somebody that's, you know,
• 1:15:14
  kind of like a normal person. Yeah. Yeah, but but you
• 1:15:17
  know what, you would you would see that same energy if you walked around
• 1:15:20
  West Point or if you walked around Annapolis or the Air Force Academy. That's
• 1:15:25
  true, that's those are the people that are there. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:15:31
  and do you think you know? Of course Therou's coming back. I know
• 1:15:36
  he's getting married and doing this on the side, So I have thoughts about
• 1:15:42
  that. I think they're setting him up to be killed. Oh doya.
• 1:15:45
  I thought he was going to die in that episode. I thought, like,
• 1:15:48
  I'm tired of this makeup. So you're right, well, it's a
• 1:15:53
  it's a good gut punch at the end of the season. Yeah, I
• 1:15:55
  thought die in this episode because when they when they were finally out of date
• 1:16:00
  anger and they're just their dialogue after they're after they got out of danger was
• 1:16:03
  lasting a little too long. Yeah, And I thought at the last second,
• 1:16:08
  you know, something was going to impale him in the in the I
• 1:16:12
  think the second or second or last episode in the Yeah, is gone,
• 1:16:17
  He's gone. Then Captain Georgia eats him. That's right, so long,
• 1:16:28
  right. I love Calimar, this is great. I was going to personate
• 1:16:31
  her, but nope, can't. We're gonna get some sweet and Star Gangliad.
• 1:16:38
  That's right. Oh boy, yeah, hey, Michael Burner even tried
• 1:16:47
  one of them. That's right, So she already tastes like delicious. Was
• 1:16:54
  that was that mere Seru that they Yeah, remember it's because she get Georgia
• 1:17:02
  was like a pick one and she's like, uh, I guess I'll pick
• 1:17:04
  Sarru? Like, am I saving him? Is this a special detail?
• 1:17:09
  No, he's going straight to the shot. No, it wasn't. It
• 1:17:12
  wasn't mirror. It wasn't mirror. It was no, it was just another
• 1:17:18
  that was seven years ago. Well, I think all Kelpians look alike.
• 1:17:21
  I'm sorry, it's just oh wow, whoa, whoa, whoa old fashion.
• 1:17:27
  Wow. Not not cool, not cool at all, sir, Not
• 1:17:31
  cool as you wear another alien symbol on your chest. That's true. Yeah,
• 1:17:38
  that's another podcast symbol for Hope. Yeah. Yeah, that's his other
• 1:17:43
  podcast. I hope that's something I'll be able tos apart. Well here here
• 1:17:46
  it's an ass like Hope. It moves like a river. Yeah. I
• 1:17:55
  heard a rumor about to start a Superman emblem. What's that? I heard?
• 1:17:59
  Dan? He's got a Superman album? I do tattoo? Yeah?
• 1:18:05
  Oh Yeah, that's right. That's what you said out a pod. I'm
• 1:18:10
  not bringing anything up from a private conversation. Nice. That's awesome. I
• 1:18:24
  love it. It will pass. What do we think about the infinity Devicenberg
• 1:18:30
  was using? I mean what, Yeah, that's what it is. Sorry,
• 1:18:41
  I'm still distracted by those those guns that Dan just showed up. If
• 1:18:48
  you up that music, that would have been awesome. We'll do it.
• 1:18:54
  We'll do it in post. Yeah, that'd be perfect. There's no posts.
• 1:19:00
  You're just posting the audio and that's it. That's it. That's our
• 1:19:03
  posts, that's our boat. I wish I could be the sound guy.
• 1:19:09
  I wish I could control like the soundboard and do sound effect. I wish
• 1:19:13
  I could too. You can't. Just you have to use your mouth like
• 1:19:16
  Michael Winslow. Okay, wanh wanh wanh wanh So, so would you be
• 1:19:32
  sloughed from goonies, Scott, I think I've just been insulted. Wow,
• 1:19:40
  old blood, I mean a little bix of both Rocky Rocky Road. Uh,
• 1:20:01
  nobody under thirty those goodies are no. Let's come back maybe this summer.
• 1:20:08
  So yeah, I think it is the fortieth anniversary. They keep saying
• 1:20:13
  they're going to make another Goodies. It's not gonna happen. Oh no,
• 1:20:15
  God, well, Corey Feldman's too. Actually next year. It's forty years
• 1:20:19
  for the Goody. At this point, they might as well reboot it and
• 1:20:21
  just get a new set of kids. Yeah. No, I think it's
• 1:20:27
  gone off the rail, off the rails starting a Superman symbol. Yeah,
• 1:20:36
  welcome to cash. Yeah, start trying to talk about and what do you
• 1:20:42
  think about Book? I think Book's definitely gonna die because that's your love interest.
• 1:20:46
  Books dead. Yeah no, I don't think Books dead. I think
• 1:20:51
  they're gonna give Michael a happy ending ish I don't want to happy. Yeah,
• 1:21:00
  she got to and that's how it ends. So yeah, all right,
• 1:21:11
  I'm gonna I'm gonna make a prediction. Gonna die, Michael's gonna marry
• 1:21:17
  Book and move on, and Rayner is going to be the Captain of Discovery
• 1:21:26
  at the end of the season. I don't know, Yeah, I could
• 1:21:30
  see that happening. This is kind of my thing, making crazy predictions.
• 1:21:34
  Like I don't know if you saw my my post, but there was the
• 1:21:38
  picture of what's his name Ethan Peck and what's his name? Kid? I
• 1:21:45
  can't remember his name. Help me out, Jerry O'Connell. Ye, you
• 1:21:49
  look at you, look at you. Look at Jerry's eyebrows. His eyebrows
• 1:21:55
  look the way Ethan Peck's eyebrows look when they're filming and they shave the sides
• 1:21:59
  off. So I think O'Connell is going to show up in Strange New Worlds
• 1:22:02
  as a Vulcan, and I think he's going to be Cybok because they tease
• 1:22:09
  that like two years ago and never never came back to that. Yeah,
• 1:22:15
  look at those look at those eyebrows. Right, they're wearing the same shirt.
• 1:22:20
  They're wearing the same shirt. They're like, hey, look at us
• 1:22:24
  brothers. Yeah, that's that's my crazy prediction. So three years from now,
• 1:22:30
  Scott can be on the show and be like I was listening to this
• 1:22:33
  three year old episode of Trick. You'll never believe the nonsense that Dan was
• 1:22:39
  spewing. I mean, it's awesome. I mean, you know, the
• 1:22:45
  benefit of hindsight. He's either going to be or he's going to be yet
• 1:22:48
  another sibling that we didn't know spock ad. Yeah, you know that would
• 1:22:56
  be ridiculous. It's going to be cousins, Box, cousin yeah, some
• 1:23:02
  white dude from Jersey cousin. I have a prediction about the end of discovery.
• 1:23:09
  I think the USS Discovery is going to be destroyed. Okay, I'm
• 1:23:14
  cool it. The discoveries like the ECTO one we talked about a couple of
• 1:23:19
  weeks ago. It's this old ship by Goods from whatever century they're in.
• 1:23:26
  Is it twenty second century, a twenty third century? Yeah, So better
• 1:23:30
  be careful because I don't think Dan likes this analogy at all. No,
• 1:23:33
  it's it's it's it's from the twenty third now they're in the thirty second.
• 1:23:38
  Yeah, and so they retrofitted it to be super fast. But it's kind
• 1:23:43
  of like the ECTA one really, because you'd have this very very old ship
• 1:23:45
  and still have old technology on it even if you retrofitted it, because you'd
• 1:23:53
  have to completely redo the whole thing to bring it to what up to a
• 1:23:58
  thousand years in the future. Yeah, see that. I have a problem
• 1:24:03
  with that because are the halls even made of the same material? I mean,
• 1:24:12
  you know, a thousand years ago, our ships were made out of
• 1:24:14
  wood. Yeah, and you know, so you know, like, I'm
• 1:24:21
  sure they've come up with a different other than geranium of making a shifts.
• 1:24:27
  It's uh yeah for tandium. Yeah, we're all covered in plot arm.
• 1:24:34
  Yes, well, it's kind of like having your gun facing your hand instead
• 1:24:40
  of pulling out of your holster. I don't like that, does your gun
• 1:24:45
  just I didn't. I didn't hear what you said. Oh, yeah,
• 1:24:48
  the gun. I don't like the idea of replicating things with power sources.
• 1:24:54
  Yeah. No, I like if they brought out a knife or something like
• 1:24:59
  that, something stable. And I don't like holographic displays, like where they
• 1:25:03
  bring up a map and it's on their wrist and they're pointing in everything.
• 1:25:08
  I don't like that either directly. I feel like if they're that, if
• 1:25:12
  they're doing the like HUDs everywhere, why wouldn't the phasers have a hood just
• 1:25:16
  automatically pops up in front of it. Yeah, like Advisor or something that
• 1:25:20
  pops over your head where you can better if you if you all right?
• 1:25:26
  See, this is what I'm talking about. When the technology progresses so far,
• 1:25:30
  it inhibits the storytelling. It inhibits logical storytelling. They have these dot
• 1:25:34
  robots that they send everywhere to do these things. At the end of that
• 1:25:38
  scene, they say send a couple dots down there. Haven't fixed the mess
• 1:25:41
  we made? Okay, Why isn't there a team of four dots on every
• 1:25:45
  away mission, on every away team? Yeah, yeah, Why don't you
• 1:25:49
  have a team of dots with you? Tactical? There's medical dots, there's
• 1:25:54
  tactical tactical dots. There's science, you know, And and why do you
• 1:26:00
  have a drone? Oh, you've heard the dog. My dog's sense was
• 1:26:10
  tingling somewhere. I needed up his arm. There, you get awesome,
• 1:26:21
  But you know, it's like, why don't they have drones on the shuttle
• 1:26:25
  crafts or anything else to scout out where they're going. Why don't they have
• 1:26:29
  all this other technology that you probably have, or or if you have this
• 1:26:35
  portable replicator on your wrist that can just make handguns out of thin air.
• 1:26:42
  Why aren't you calling for a dot when you need one. It's just it's
• 1:26:45
  they've progressed the technology so far that everything is possible, which means nothing is
• 1:26:50
  impossible, which means nothing that you do make sense anymore. They have they
• 1:26:55
  have painted themselves into a corner, and they need to go back. They
• 1:27:00
  need to finish the season. Reset Star Trek back to the twenty fifth century
• 1:27:06
  where things make sense, right, things make sense still kind of sort of
• 1:27:15
  and just go from there. I'm done with the thirty second century. No
• 1:27:19
  me too, hold on Dan Dan, Daniel LaRusso. Daniel LaRusso said it
• 1:27:25
  best. I want to go home. Why can't we just go back home?
• 1:27:29
  Right? Ye? Send the awaye rones? Yeah, around the sun?
• 1:27:34
  That they go around the sun and then they go back in time.
• 1:27:39
  And you see their faces, bad CG faces, and they're going back in
• 1:27:43
  time. Why can't she tap on her wrist and call for a thread?
• 1:27:49
  At that point, he is eight hundred technologated, He's a he's eight hundred
• 1:27:54
  year old technology at that point right right now, none of it nothing makes
• 1:27:59
  sense, and more nothing that makes sense anymore. We're not buying for a
• 1:28:02
  nerdler hurt here. But in the Star Trek, the Next Generation Technical Manual,
• 1:28:05
  they're talking about good so warning warning, NERD alert, NERD alert.
• 1:28:15
  Right. It's quoted in that book saying if you could meet Scott's like,
• 1:28:19
  you know, I'm referring to the tech Manual here. I have I don't
• 1:28:25
  know what. I only have two copies. That one is a pristine copy
• 1:28:28
  of Hi. It says, if you could The reason why, uh,
• 1:28:33
  the the starships are are shown being built by you know, star based builder
• 1:28:39
  thingies, that's the technical terms instead of large replicators is if you could replicate
• 1:28:44
  a starship, you wouldn't have to so and it's it's an extension what Dan
• 1:28:48
  said. You know, if you can just make these dots and make these
• 1:28:54
  things, you're painting yourself into a corner, and you know, the story
• 1:28:57
  goes out the window. So that's the problem. That's exactly the problem with
• 1:29:01
  the thirty second century is you're you're painting, You're painting yourself in the corner,
• 1:29:05
  and you're not evolving story wise. You can't evolve as fast as the
• 1:29:12
  time jump, right, you know, a thousand years from now. There's
• 1:29:16
  they're not going to be using you know, the same shaped starships. They're
• 1:29:21
  not going to be using the same circle main drive to sell shaped ships.
• 1:29:29
  And all of them are showed kind of like that, even though they got
• 1:29:31
  detachment fells. The single single stupidest thing in all of Star Trek is the
• 1:29:36
  detachment cells. I don't even like voyagers, you know, you know,
• 1:29:43
  but you mouth right, okay, yeah, but I you know, in
• 1:29:54
  the in the in the vein and the spirit of you know, saying something
• 1:29:57
  nice about it. I do like the visuals. I I do like where
• 1:30:00
  certain characters are going. I like Chilli's character. I think this new captain
• 1:30:04
  is going to be an interesting plot device to use down the road, whether
• 1:30:09
  he's going to betray him, whether he's gonna die, whether he's going to
• 1:30:12
  be the Savior or captain the ship or whatever. I like him. I
• 1:30:15
  do like the I do like the the Jedi Twins. They're, you know,
• 1:30:21
  the the bad guys. I think they're gonna be cool. Blasphemy Scott.
• 1:30:27
  Yeah, yeah, there you go. It is Sunday, so Sunday
• 1:30:33
  fun day. Hey it's WrestleMania night to is tonight? Yeah, I mean
• 1:30:39
  I better get home. Oh man, I watched Big Muffins this week after
• 1:30:44
  this episode so very worried about Cody and finishing his story. I'm not that
• 1:30:50
  worried about it. Yeah, you'll survive, I think so. I think
• 1:30:56
  he's going to Speaking of finishing, like, oh, you're talking wrestling.
• 1:31:00
  We're done now, all right, Well, thanks Chas, thanks for being
• 1:31:06
  on. All right, you guys have fun. Thanks Buddy, good to
• 1:31:11

• 1:31:14
  No, that was it. That was it. So I would like to
• 1:31:17
  mention before we go that I am going to the Comic Con next weekend,
• 1:31:24
