• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Letter Media's recap of Star Trek d S nine his
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: far and away beat Starfleet Academy on on on YouTube.

• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'm god it's working. So now we just
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: wait for Scott. Anyways, So I was saying right now
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: on YouTube, in the first twenty four hours, Starfleet Academy,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: the premiere episode is getting beat by Red Letter Media's
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: recap of Star Trek DS nine. So it's getting beat
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: by quite a bit. I looked at the numbers earlier
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: this morning. It's increased even more. Right now, Starfleet Academy
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: is sitting at about one hundred and thirty seven thousand
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: views something like that, whereas the Red Letter Media video
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: is just a shade under six hundred thousand views. So
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: it's interesting more people care about that than the other thing.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I think this is YouTube.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: This is on YouTube.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, I mean that's just the number of people that
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: are watching Starfleet Academy on YouTube, though that's not accounting
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: for the people that are watching it on Paramount.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Plus correct correct. So that was the point I was
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: gonna make. Yay, Scotty, can you hear me now?
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I can hear you? Yeah, yep, yeah, okay, all right,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: and then our last news story comes to us from
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: trekmovie dot com, and uh, I thought this was kind
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: of a fun little story to share. But it appears
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: that Classic Track is finding a new audience through YouTube
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: reaction videos. So there has become a subculture of Star

  Speaker 3: Looks like the critics loved it eighty seven percent still,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: and the audience score is way down at forty three percent,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: So not that well received by the audience, according to
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes. I would say on our own YouTube or
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: our own Facebook group, overall, it was Hey, it wasn't
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: as bad as I feared, was the reaction, which is
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: kind of my reaction to it, honestly.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if I'm being honest, mine too. It was not
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: as as bad as I thought it was going to be. Yeah,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm not happy with it, no, no, no,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: but it was not as awful as I thought it
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: would be.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. And I think one thing is, especially with
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: watching both episodes, they did have their opportunities to make
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: it as bad as I feared, and they veered from them.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: There were plenty of times where they could have gone
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: into very sappy, we're gonna cry now together scenes and
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: they didn't do it. So maybe they're learning. I don't know,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I enjoyed it too.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did not enjoy it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, that's fine, I'm being honest. I did.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't enjoy it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, that's fine.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: But it was not as awful as I expected it
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to be. I expected it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: To be a lot worse. Yeah, than it was.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I I listened to the first episode at work the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: other day I was driving. I didn't watch it. I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: listened to it, and then I rewatched that last night
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: and fell asleep. I had to finish it this morning. Yeah,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I had to finish it this morning. And then I
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: watched half of the second episode and I ran out
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: of time, which is why I was.
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: So.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I saw a meme where somebody says that the uniforms
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: are a picture of a smaller uniform, like if you look,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, it looks it looks like a tos or
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: horror dress on.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Great Now I won't be able to see that.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I hadn't even thought of that. But yeah, that's pretty accurate.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: That's that's hilarious. Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: So but that design, I mean, you know, it's it's slimming.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Do we want to go into recap kind
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: of the episodes or we just want to talk about
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: our impressions. Uh, I think if you're watching this, you've
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: seen the episodes, so we just kind of talk about
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: what we thought. You know, I think, oh my god,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I didn't even realize the x's and o's in his head.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: That's hilarious. The washing money. Look at the side of
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: his head. They excise tatile.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: So did anybody catch what species he was?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: He's a clinger, right, yes?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Is that a cling on?
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Tell?
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Right? Yeah? Yeah? I think yeah, okay, yeah whatever. I
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: think he had a blast in this show though.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Having fun. Looks like he's having fun. I'd have fun, yeah.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Just be twirling your mustache and being evil.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. What did you think of the this Caleb character?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Which one's Caleb?
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: He's the kid, He's he's going to be the main character.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got no business being at a military.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Academy, right as a character.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: No.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So the whole, the whole premise of the show
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: is flawed in that there's no way, you know, I
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: do this all the time where I you know, I
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: take Star Trek and I and I I equate it
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to present day. You know, you're not. I don't care
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: if you're the Chancellor you're not enrolling a juvenile delinquent
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: at West Point. There are people that that, wait, there
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: are people that that dedicate their the first eighteen years
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: of their life to getting there. You're not cutting in
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: line because you know somebody m.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's no. The the other thing I thought
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: to you that, I mean, there are some serious plot
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: holes in this Oh yeah, oh there's tons.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's the very the very first, the very first
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: thing where you know where they're in, where they're in
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: court and his mom gets convicted and and and sentenced.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Where were the lawyers?
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Where was the jury? Where was the prosecutor? Why was
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: the kid standing there at his mom's criminal trial?
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Why were they?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Why were they?
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Exactly, It just it makes it makes no sense, you know.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: And then she feels guilty about separating him from his mother.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: She's a convicted felon. You don't get to take your
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: kids to prison with you. That's not how it works.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: But I know that this the bible for this show
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: was probably written four or five years ago when child
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: separation was a was a hot topic in the news,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: So you know, you got to work that in there.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: But it just it didn't make any sense.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: The other thing too, that I thought was kind of
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: weird was like they show like his criminal record, Like
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: at one point, like I think he's arrested, they show
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: his criminal record and they show that. Oh, because he's
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: now being arrested. That's what alert Starfleet that they have him,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: and so that's how they get him. But he's got it.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: But if he's got a past record, he's been arrested
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: in other places, why didn't that get alerted.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she tells him, your mother broke out of prison.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: A year ago. Uh huh.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I thought she was going to a rehabilitation camp, right,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: And and uh, you know, why is she in prison
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: If she was going to a rehabilitation camp, why is
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: she in prison ten years later? Right? And breaking out?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: It just it makes no sense.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Well, they each other the entire time, right, That was
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: the other point I was gonna make. They said that
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: you'd be able to visit. Well, and that's the other thing.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: If she's in prison, you know exactly where she is, right.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: You know, even today, even today, you know you can
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: you can go on the internet and find out if
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: someone's in prison. It takes about five minutes. It's open source.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: You don't need it's public information, yeah, exactly, yep. Yeah,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: so the first we look for my uncle sometimes.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the prison guards are beating them up for
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: no reason whatsoever. There's no explanation except that, you know,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: people wearing uniforms are bad, but not starflet officers they're good.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, it's ah. There are tons of plot holes
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: The other thing I thought was kind of funny was
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: the hollow teenage girl. That whole character was weird. Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: They explained that she was created what four days ago,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: four months ago, something like that ago.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and they programmed her as a seventeen
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: year old.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Right right, yeah she is, but she doesn't but she
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't know how to shake hands.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Right because they didn't program that part of it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: Or well, I think she comes from a society of photonics, Like,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: she's not from a society of people of organics that
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: that programmed her from a society of photonics that might
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: not be you know, aware of the custom of shaking hands.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. She can still touch the computer console and immediately
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: control everything that it's connected to, so I mean she
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: could read Wikipedia about greetings and how they work, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: well you know if she's if she's enrolled at Starfleet Academy.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: There there was an interview process.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Somewhere along the way, she met a person that she's
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: never met before. Some day before today, she has been
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: in this situation where you have to greet a new
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: person and shake their hand, or it just it was silly.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well both says. He kind of likes Sam. That's
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: great if you liked it. My concern was, why would
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: a society create an artificial teenage girl. That seems weird.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: I think the reason why they created an artificial teenage
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: girl is so she would be more easily integrated into Starfleet,
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: into the Academy. I think they said, we want to
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: send somebody to Starfleet Academy as a society and a
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: you know, most of the rest of the cultures that
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: go to Starfleet Academy are these you know, adolescent you know,
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: eight seventeen to twenty year olds. Let's create one that's
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: kind of like that as best we can and send
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: our version to Starfleet Academy.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: So's she's odo with a little bit of pre programming,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: right right?
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: Sure?
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: One thing what I found fascinating was, yeah, the doctor's
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: doctor Field felt a little like angst against her, a
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: little annoyance against her. And I thought, well, maybe because
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: he's I don't know what he's what he's been through
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: in the last eight hundred years, but in some Star
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Trek Voyager episodes, the few times that he's come across
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: other photonics has not been great like other.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Societies.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: She he was getting angsty when she was talking about
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: his past. He said, oh, the Voyager crew. You mentored
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the Voyager crew and the Protostar crew. And I think
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: what we're going to find out is that he's having
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a hard time dealing with outliving everyone around him.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Yep, oh, yeah, probably.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I think that's going to be his story arc, which
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: that's that's interesting. I'm kind of interested in in. Uh,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm kind of interested in that. In the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: in the finale of Voyager, we see that he took
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: wife who was a biological person. Yeah, well she's been
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: dead for eight hundred years. Yeah, that's that's got to
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: do something to you.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: If and by the way I said it before on
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: the show, I'm completely fine with the explanation he gave about.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Why he looks older. Yeah, they had they give a.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Throwaway line about how he programmed himself to age to whatever.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: I think I even said. I think I even said
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: the example of what he said.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: I think I even said.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, you said something very similar to you know.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: And I'm completely fine with that throwaway line.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: Anything to bring Robert Ricardo back, I'll accept the explanation.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: I will say one thing I thought that they had
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: a missed opportunity is so they do a scene where
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: they're trying to save the ship and they send one
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: of the cadets out into space to to remove some
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: programmable matter that's clumped up on the on the ship,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: and he's got like a he's a species that can
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: survive out there for like a small amount of time. Yeah,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I really think that character needed to die. And I'll
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: and I'll tell you why. One, it elevates the stakes
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: of the show. It shows not all the characters are safe.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: He kind of it kind of gives you some jeopardy.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: But two, for for the main character, Caleb, it would
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: show like, look, even in Starfleet, they're willing to sacrifice
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: themselves for the greater good. They have you know, good intentions,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: and it would kind of like give that journey as
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: to like maybe these people aren't as bad as I thought.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: They couldn't kill him off because he is part of
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the puzzle that is this ensemble cast they're trying to form.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: No, I know.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: He is, he he is, So this is this is
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: woke track.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: We all know.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: We all know that he's the asshole white kid from
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: a rich family, right right, Okay, And that's part of
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: the that's part of the story, yeah, that they're telling.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: So they can't they can't jettison that right away.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe down the line, Yeah, you have a line, he's
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: he's perfectly safe to be killed. But yeah, I just
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: think if I had written the story, that's what I
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: would have done, you know, maybe do the bit from
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: you ever see that movie beer Fest? No, No, there's
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: a scene in the movie where they kill one of
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: the characters and literally the next scene is the funeral
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: and that character's brother shows up and he says, I'll
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: take his place.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, and they just start calling yeah they
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: like it never happened, Like it never happened.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So that's all you gonta done.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: So when the girl is in the hallway and she's
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: she's trying to access something and she needs command level authorization, HM,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: and the doctor appears even though she did not summon him,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: because he apparently just monitors what's going on, because you know,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: when they almost got into a fight in the hallway,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: he was monitoring that and and suddenly appeared, right, So
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: he appears, gives her access to whatever system he she
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: needed access to. My question is, then, why is the
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Klingon kid performing surgery if the doctor is accessible and
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: is aware of everything that's going on.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: Yes on, Well, okay, I have an answer for you
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: because I watched both episodes twice. Number one, the holographic
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: emitters on the ship are severely damaged, and only they're
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: damaged mostly throughout the ship. Number two, the reason why
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: appeared is he had a She said the word emergency,
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: and the computer took that as they're having a medical emergency.
• 29:08
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: The MH only appeared after she said emergency, so I
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: took that as it's some of the EMHs.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: That way, he had a mobile He had a mobile
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: emitter eight hundred years ago.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Well, maybe in this time period he doesn't need a
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: mobile emitter because the entire ship has UH emitters, But
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: at this time the half the ship didn't have their
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: emitters online.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Then then I don't want to see him outside for
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: the rest of this series.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: Well, maybe he's got his mobile emitter and his quarters
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: or something. Maybe he's charging.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: He didn't charge it. That's that's where we're gonna go in.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: So hold on a minute. The other girl's a hologram, yes,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: and she was there, So what was what was emitting her?
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Maybe she has her own mobile emitter.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: But he doesn't, even though he had one eight hundred
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: years ago.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Maybe we'll figure it out.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Do you see that?
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: See that?
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: You can, you can.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: You can look through it, you can put things through it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: That's the plot.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: That's the plot. That's the plot. Whatever firefoll spreads.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Oh you know what it is. I know what happened
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: to the mobile and minter?
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Oh what that?
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: That girl swallowed it with her combat.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: There you go that that character.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: They very clearly wrote, we want rebel, rebel Wilson, but
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: we can't have order, right Yeah. Yeah, So so.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: We talked about missed opportunities. I'm gonna I'm gonna fold
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: that into something else, go for it. I'm not thrilled
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: with the heavy set stature of some of these Starfleet officers. Yeah,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: and and this is coming from a guy who's who
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: is himself heavier than you would like to be at
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: this point in my life. But I'm not a military officer.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: That's that's the difference. So you know, you got the
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: cadet master there, who's a big woman.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: You've got the the what is she the cadet educational?
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's a heavy set woman. I'm
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: not sure why they did that other than you know,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: they wanted this is Wolke track. They want to show,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Oh there's all different body types and body shapes and
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: yeah I get that, but you know these are supposed
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: to be military officers. So go ahead and I'll go
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: into the second part.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, to be fair though, isn't
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: that a problem in our current military that that some
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: of the higher ups are not in shape? And so like,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: didn't didn't They've recently do a big thing about that.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: So they're talking about it this Yeah, they're talking about it.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: They are, they are, But this is this is eight
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: hundred years from now, No I know, Okay, we have
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: we have ozempic now, yeah, we have ozempic now. This
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: is eight hundred years ago or eight hundred years from now.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Where they have everything they eat is replicated, right, Okay,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: so you could have the computer, you know, give you
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: a a slim fast shake that that looks, feels and
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: tastes like a cheeseburger. So it's it just it. It
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: shouldn't exist. It shouldn't exist at the right.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Also, they have they have.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: An arc that you can walk through and get a
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: uniform and a haircut.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: They can that arc too, uh you know, make it thin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: So I did not find the Cadet master, even though
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: she looks like a gem pindar, I did not find
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: her intimidating.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: In any way. And she's kind of goofy.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: She is kind of goofy. And you know, Scott, you've
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: been through basic training, you know, was your drill sergeant
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: cracking jokes like that? And yeah, and if he was,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: you weren't allowed to laugh at them, the one crack
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: you're not. You're not allowed to laugh and that's part
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: of that's part of the test. So I feel like
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: there's a missed opportunity here, you know, not at the
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Naval Acade, not at the US Naval Academy, but at
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: US Naval Officer Candidacy School, the drill instructors are marines,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: the Marine Corps drill instructors. And for years, you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: they've we've debated back and forth, like, oh, Starfleet, they
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: have to have marines that you know, that colonel from
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: star Trek six, You know, colonel is not a naval rank.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: He must have been a marine and YadA, YadA YadA.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Instead of her, they could have given us a kick
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: ass drill instructor, a kick ass Starfleet Marine Corps drill
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: instructor as part of this. Yeah, you know, and if
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: you want to make him, if you want to make
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: him a Klingon, great, If you want to make him
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: a gemitar, great. I would have loved to have seen,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: just like, I don't know, some big scary Starfleet Marine
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: in a campaign hat, Starfleet uniform, but a campaign hat
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: or something. I don't know.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I just feel like it was a missed opportunity. Awol says,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: all the slim personnel enrolled in the War Academy. Yeah,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: so that's another thing. I want to, Yeah, go for it.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I want to know what the what the deal is
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: with this war college.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: And and I only watched half of the second episode,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: so I don't know if they elaborated on it. And
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: but a war college and an academy are not the
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: same thing. The academy. The academy has cadets and they
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: churn out uh young officers you know, lieutenants or ensigns,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: depending on which which branch of the military. The War
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: College is something completely different. The War College is where
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: high ranking officers have like continuing education, so you know,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: you go to the War College. Those are those are
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: colonels and generals and captains and admirals are attending classes
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: at the War College. So I'm not sure why they're
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: like putting these two things together, like the like the
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: War College replaced Starfleet Academy.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: For I think everything changed after the Burn.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: They got rid of Starfleet Academy after the Burn, and
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: they needed to refocus their efforts on instead of, like
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: they said it in the show, instead of embracing new cultures,
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: they had to now defend against them. So they eliminated
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: Starfleet Academy, which was primarily their their exploration you know,
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: focused entity and focused.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they created the War College or if.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: It was an existing Maco type organization, you know with
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: kernels or whatever.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: But and then they might have like.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: Reprioritized and reinvented it into an academy for the younger folk.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: After the burn, I got to point this out because
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I saw several people losing their minds online about this.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: But apparently people were very upset that the Starfleet uniforms
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: have zippers and buttons that was not supposed to be
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: originally in the design scheme for for Star Trek, and
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: so a bunch of Star Trek class players were losing
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: their minds on Instagram this week with these new uniforms.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: So just the thirty second century is retro.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: There you go, So let me let me, let me
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: take a quick pull.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Uh, Jaden is the guy they get serious serious question
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: because there's there's a couple of there's a couple of
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: serious hints that they drop.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: I didn't even think about it, honestly.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: There's a love triangle right there.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when uh when is Galen? Is that his name?
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: The kid on the right here or the kid in
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: the middle. When Galen comes through the the makeover machine,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna call it, the thing that he
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: walked through the game.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the makeover main.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: When he walks through the makeover machine, Yes, yes, Jaden
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: gives them a look like, so that's one okay, And
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: the Cadet master says references talking when she's talking to Jaden,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: whatever shame you're running from. So I'm wondering if they're
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: doing like a double.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Thing here anxiety, it's not okay.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: He's a klingon that wants to be a doctor that's
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: frowned upon. He's a gay klingon that's that's frowned upon. Like,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering if they're if they're if they're doing both.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: So that they can disguise it a little bit. I
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they used to. They used to do that in
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: writing it. Would you know, it would be an allegory, right, Yeah.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Babble says the actor who plays him is gay. Okay,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: well there you go.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: So another thing that bothers me about him is he
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: is that's not his voice, that's not.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: His uh yeah, he's doing a voice.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: He's doing a he's doing a Christian Bale batman voice.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: And I think it's going to get real old, real quick.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm wondering if that's and I'm wondering if
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: that's part of it, Like it's an act that the
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: character is putting on, not the actor. Because I'm a Klingon,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I'm supposed to act like this and that, like you know,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: halfway through the season, he's going to get a couple
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: of drinks in them.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: And I used to work with a guy and we
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: don't do it, dan No, I used to don't.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Don't do your impression.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: Of the Klingon that's got a couple of drinks in him.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not doing an impression. But I worked I worked
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: with a guy who had a very, very tough facade,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: but he was gay and we all knew it and
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: it was fine.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: And when we would when we would go out for beers,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: once he got two or three.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Beers, his gay to come out.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: So I'm wondering, I'm wondering if if that's gonna happen
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: with this character.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: That's all okay. So for aspect says episode for the
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Cadet Master and the Cleon Cadet are supposed to have
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: a bondied moment over being growing up different from other Klingons.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Oh that's interesting, Okay. I do think with with that
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Cadet Master her, I think that's as much as they're
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: gonna explain as to why she's half gem Hdar and
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: have klingon the one throwaway line. I think that's it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: They're not gonna tell us anymore. I did see an
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: interview with her, the actress, and she did mention that
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get more about her background in other episodes,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: and I don't think they'll they'll get to that part
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: So I think I might have figured out the whole
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: gem Hidar. Okay, I think it was just m that
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: there weren't any women. It's it's not that.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: They weren't incapable.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: It's not that they weren't were incapable. It's that you
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: know when you all right, So if you grow chickens,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: um hm, the male chickens are not as valuable as
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: the female chickens, right, So in a lot of cases,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: when the eggs hatch, the males just get destroyed. So
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: I think it might be an opposite situation here when.
• 41:38
  Speaker 12: The warriors, Yes, when they were breeding the gem Dar,
• 41:43
  Speaker 12: if if by chance, oh this one's a female, throw
• 41:46
  Speaker 12: it in the replicator, just and just keep keep up,
• 41:49
  Speaker 12: keep printing out dudes.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: So she mentions that my father taught me the victory
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: is life. My mother taught me that today is a
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: good day to die. So you know, Dad was a
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: fully functioning male, yeah, who had just never seen a
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: female jumpinar because they just don't exist.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: But he was perfectly capable of impregnating one if they
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: did exist, and instead he impregnated a klingon. That's that's
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: my head canon for where she came from.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: That was That's the explanation I gave a few months ago.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, that was my theory. But what
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: they didn't we don't know, right, So.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I guess I guess I wasn't paying attention, so.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think you were on that day.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, well I'm hungry right now, and I'm
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: angry about this show, and since hungry is the greatest
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: enemy of all, that's the.
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: Hey, what do you guys think about Stephen Colbert is
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: the Academy Computer?
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I knowed, that's ridiculous. What did you think
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: of space Penny Rexman?
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: So you're talking about uh.
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, okay, did you guys notice did you
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: guys notice the rock Creature?
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah from uh from Prodigy? Yeah yeah that was cool.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there are a lot of easter eggs, a lot
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: of easter eggs. That wall of officers, you know, there
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: were there were a bunch of interesting ones there. We
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: find out that we find out that Riker never made admiral.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: That's one thing we find out because he's on there
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: as as Captain Riker. Yeah, but sheer peaked at lieutenant,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: which is extremely surprising, extremely surprising after everything he did
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: during the during the Dominion War, and you know with
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: those he was running that intelligence operation with the with
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: the augments and you know.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe that's why he's off the books.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. Yeah, Midshipman first Class Peter Preston, you
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: remember him.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: No, who's that guy that's Scotty's nephew who died in
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: the engine.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Room in uh oh yeah, damn.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Ye warning warning, NERD alert, NERD alert. You earned it.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: But thank you, thank you. But also I mean there
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: was Cadet Joshua Albert from was it the first Duty
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: he's the one who died in the in the in
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: NIC's thing, Admiral Howie Howie, Admiral Harry Kim yep, which
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: that was nice to say. It took forever, but he
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: made it took.
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: Eight hundred years he finally got promoted. Uh se you
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: know Jackson.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw her duty Admiral Tawny Newsome.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, her name, that's hilarious. Yeah. Did you catch the
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: EXO comp?
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: I did?
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: There were there were a couple of XO comps.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: There was the red one that the Internet has now
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: dubbed almond Basket. Yeah.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: Oh instead of Peter Hamper Almond Basket. Did you catch
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: the rock creature from Prodigy?
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: Ambassador Garrick was another one.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's not Cannon, but in in uh, in
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: the book that Andrew Robinson wrote, he was an ambassador.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Oh the Stitch in time yep. Yeah.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: There was another Easter egg that I caught that I
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: thought was hilarious. Oh I can't remember. Well, I guess Okay,
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: are are you what's your excitement level for the next episode?
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: Are you excited?
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Are you not?
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: Are you I'm excited? Yeah, I liked. I liked both episodes.
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: I'm I'm cautiously optimistic for the rest of the season.
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: I hope that Alex Kurtzman stays out of the way
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: for the rest of it.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. She does not seem like a
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: captain to me. Yeah, she's got some weird mannerisms that
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: just don't work for me. She puts her feet on
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: the furniture, she lays down, and she's talking to people
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: on the bridge. It's like, what are you doing? She
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: goes barefoot bare Yeah, the barefoot thing, yeah, which I
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: think that was in the next episode.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Right, I think that was yeah, episode two.
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: She's half Lanthamite, Lanthormite, Lana Lantha.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: So I have in my notes, walks around barefoot, sits
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: on tables. She's four hundred years old, but acts like
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: a teenage girl, didn't.
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's kind of like the chief engineer of
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: the enterprise in Stranger Worlds.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: They're quirky.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it's I don't know.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: It's like it's unprofessional if you're at work and your
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: boss is walking around barefoot and she's like sitting on
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: top of her desk like a cat.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, my boss doesn't walk around barefoot, but one
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: of my coworkers does all the time. Yeah. Yeah.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: So I've talked in the past about one thing I
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: don't like about this era of Star Trek is that
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: like technology has progressed so far. They can do anything.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Programmable matter can be anything. It can do anything. And
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: because of that, you've you're kind of writing yourself into
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: a corner.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: So they have a makeover machin.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, makeover exactly. But you know a big part of
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: this first episode is is this guy trying to steal
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: parts of their ship. Well, if you have programmable matter,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: why are you stealing anything? If you have this stuff?
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: Pretty slotty for a criminal.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: But if you have this stuff that can become anything,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: there's no need to steal anything. It just doesn't make sense.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: And they've kind of, like, I don't know, they've kind
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: of written themselves into a corner with all this super
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: advanced technology that they have. Every everyone has a transporter
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: constantly programmble matter that can be turned into anything. Yeah,
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: how do you create genuine peril if all of these
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: things exist? If everyone has a combadge that can communicate,
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: it can scan everything, it can transport you anywhere, nothing matters.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: Also that was the problem I had too. They said
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: the transporters are offline. Doesn't everybody have a communicator that's
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: also a transporter?
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what I mean. They've written themselves into
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: a corner where the thing and you may call them tropes,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: you know, but a lot of the old Star Trek
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: tropes like uh oh there's there's there's peril because the
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: such and such is offline. Doesn't make sense anymore because
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: there's all this new technology that that compensates for all
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: these things.
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that that's they need to put limits on their
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: new technology, you like, yes, Like okay, when the shields
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: go up, the personal transporters shut down because they don't
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: want you transporting off the ship or or letting people
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: through and hacking that system. Like give it a rule
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: and then that way we know, oh they're at red
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: alert so they can't do this or yellow alert, mean
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: give me something, so that way I have an idea
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: of what causes the tension.
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, see, I like to think of those personal transporters.
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: As I talked about this a few weeks ago, I
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: still I don't believe those communicators are transporter systems in
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: and of themselves. I think they just make the transport
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: operation automated. I think they just tied directly into the
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: ship's transporter system and just kind of does away with
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: the need of a transporter.
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: Chief and stuff like that.
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: I don't think you can fit, no matter how many
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: centuries in the future, I don't think you can fit
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: a system be right in a tiny, tiny thing.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Except that they had them. They had the prototype eight
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: hundred years ago.
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: Again, I don't think that was the prototype of anything.
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: I think that was bullshit. I don't like that. I've
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: read the technical manual and I realized how complicated and
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: a huge Okay, so.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: I give him one.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: When did you read technical Manual?
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Warning Warning, NERD alert, NERD alert.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: With all due respect to Chief Pettybeard, who's our chief engineer.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: You know, data is dead or data was dead for
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: twenty years because they only had one personal transporter and
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: he gave it to Captain of card So this technology
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: had eight hundred years to perfect this technology and apparently
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: they did.
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, buy a transport system in a tiny combat I
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: don't buy it.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, fifty years ago, if you told somebody that
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: I have one of these and all the things that
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: it can do today, they would have looked at you
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: like you had nine heads.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've said this on the show,
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: I've said this to people before. There's a phrase that
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: if you if you said it fifty years ago, it
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: would make zero sense, but it makes it makes perfect
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: sense today. You get here in my day, that's right.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: But if you if you got up from your desk
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: at work and said, I'm going to go out to
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: my car on my lunch so I can watch a
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: movie on my phone, if you said that fifty years ago,
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: they would looked at you like you had nine heads.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: You say it today, it makes perfect sense.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, all right, Well with all that, we've got
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: so many voicemails and everything, so I feel like we should.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Oh are we doing the second episode at all?
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: I thought we kind of touched it on both kind
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: of Umm, anything you want to say about the second episode.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Yep, people are wearing glasses. Okay, uh, the captain wears glasses,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: the cadet and the mucus wears glasses. That doesn't make
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: I don't like the disrespectful interactions that these cadets are
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: having with each other in the middle of class, talking
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: about tiny fish dicks and stuff like that. Yeah, that
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: would not fly at a military academy. She tells him
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: to stand at attention and he immediately goes to parade
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: rest and everybody's fine with it two different Yeah.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: I was bothered by that too.
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, Dan, I want you to name.
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: I know you can't name three things. Can you name
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: one and a half things you liked about this this
• 53:36
  Speaker 6: new series?
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Well, hold on, let me finish shitting on it, and
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: then you Why is the betazoid president signing he's not deaf?
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: What's up with the betazoids too? Are they empathic? Are
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: they telepathic? Are they telekinetic?
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: What what?
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: They're telepathic? They've always been telepathic.
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: Okay, but they're only talking about empathic.
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: Why Isa was empathic?
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: Because she was?
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: Because yes?
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: And why are they negotiating betazoid betaz's re entry into
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: the Federation.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: Why are they negotiating.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: That in public in front of an audience that makes
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: that makes no sense to to to give it a
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: a contemporary equivalent. You know. That's like Donald Trump is
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: at one podium and the president of Denmark is at
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: the other, and they're arguing over why Greenland should be
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: part of the United States and not Denmark, and we're
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: gonna do it. We're going to do it in front
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: of all the cadets at West Point. It makes no sense. Whatsoever.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: It's just silly.
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: And then why and then you have a you have
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: a visiting head of state. Why would security interrupt that
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: visit to bring a cadet with mucusol over his shirt,
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: drag him back into the theater and sit him down
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: at his seat? What is that? That makes no sense whatsoever? Okay,
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: you were trying to escape and we apprehended. You put
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: him in the brag Why are you bringing him back
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: to the to the theater?
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 55:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and then Alasta girl draws even more attention to
• 55:19
  Speaker 6: it by looking over at him and like shaking her head,
• 55:22
  Speaker 6: like you've been a naughty boy.
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: So, okay, you're one and a half things that you
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: liked about it.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: One and a half things that I that I liked
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: about it, and you're not allowed to you're not allowed
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: to repeat that you like Paul Giamatti, Right, everyone loved him.
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: Because I can't stand Paul Giamatti. Okay, he did okay
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: on this, He was okay in this.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the effects look great.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: I've said that for years about all the new track.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: They look they all look they all look fantastic. What
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: did I like about it?
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm?
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: Do you want to come back.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm looking I'm looking forward to and and
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: it's sad because it's not looking forward, it's looking back.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to finding out what the Doctor has
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: been doing for the last eight hundred years and why
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: he reacted the way the way that he did to
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: her bringing up Voyager and the Protostar.
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: And yeah that's all I got. Okay, what about you, Scott, what's.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Something you like? Oh in Admiral poop apples, it was
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: nice to see it now, Yeah that's your half.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's only there for a little bit, so.
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like to see uh, like to see Admiral Daddy back.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: I I liked. Uh.
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: It was nice to see the Doctor again. Whether it's
• 56:56
  Speaker 6: just they're just doing fan service or whether you know it,
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: it was nice to see the e MH back after
• 57:02
  Speaker 6: so many years.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm I'm a sucker for fan service whatever.
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: I love the callbacks, I love the Easter eggs.
• 57:12
  Speaker 6: I and and we have to acknowledge this for what
• 57:15
  Speaker 6: it is. This is different track that not just I'm
• 57:19
  Speaker 6: not saying this is woke track. I'm just saying this
• 57:20
  Speaker 6: is a different type of show, designed to be different
• 57:24
  Speaker 6: for a different type of audience. So it's it's it's
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: it's a cadet show. It's it's for a younger audience.
• 57:30
  Speaker 6: I did like a lot of the new characters. I think,
• 57:33
  Speaker 6: you know, I don't. I don't hate what they're trying
• 57:36
  Speaker 6: to be. I don't hate what the show is trying
• 57:39
  Speaker 6: to be. I like the conflict. It's yes, have we
• 57:41
  Speaker 6: seen this type of conflict before? Of sure, sure, of course.
• 57:44
  Speaker 6: Anytime you have young characters in any show, the hormones
• 57:48
  Speaker 6: are raging. Uh, that's fine, That's that's what they're trying
• 57:51
  Speaker 6: to do. I like Holly Hunter. I think she's gonna
• 57:56
  Speaker 6: be an intriguing character, and I'm looking forward to I
• 58:00
  Speaker 6: really am looking forward to seeing this.
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: So I've got high hopes for this. So I guess
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: we'll see.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: I know it wasn't made for us, and I know
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: this is a younger crew. It's not a Starfleet crewe
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: these are these are cadets. But just consider that in
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: the in the first episode of Voyager Caretaker Harry Harry
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Kim that was his first posting. Yeah, he was weeks
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: out of Starfleet Academy, so he was essentially them. Julian
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: Basher in the first episode of the Emissary, that was
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: his choice posting and graduated second in his class, so
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: he got to pick his post, so same thing he
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: was weeks out of the academy. I can't picture those
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: two characters having these types of interactions, and I think
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: that's what That's another reason it's it's just seems so foreign.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: It's so distant from actual Star Trek to me.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess for me, what I liked is I
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: like that it looks like they've kind of learned a
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: little bit from Discovery on on how to handle characters.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: They're not as whiny or or quick to jump into
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: their emotions. So I'm hoping that means better things in
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: the future. It's not as bad as just go.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: No, but there's different. There's different there's different emotions. I
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: mean a number of times that these kids are calling
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: each other names, each other, bitch, what is that? Come on,
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: this is Star Trek, this is not Yeah.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: But but but I feel like there's an evolution to
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: to what we first saw, So I'm hoping overall it improves.
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: The other thing I'll say that I really enjoyed was
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: I think I like that actor Caleb, the main character
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: I think he's pretty good.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good actor.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, so there you go. Well, should we get
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: to listener feedback? We got a ton of it, So
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: I got an email, So I hope I can hear it. Yeah,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: I hope you can't do So let's get to listener feedback.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: Listener feedback.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 6: All right, let me do my email because I'm on
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 6: two different devices and one's running out of juice.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: So okay, yeah, I go for it.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 6: Okay, this email is from Duval front of the show,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 6: he says. So I watched the first episode for freeand YouTube.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 6: It was okay, not bad, decent enough. Obviously, the doctor
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 6: was my favorite part of the show, which I give
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 6: this episode a six out of ten. The Jema dar
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 6: Klingon had me chuckling, so it might end up being
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: my favorite new character. I honestly didn't hate it, but
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 6: I do have some issues. One like, seriously, as the
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 6: chance of the Academy and the captain of the show
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: that chair some respect.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: Two, I did an eye roll at the bitchline. Yes.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 6: Three, why didn't they tractor beam or lock a transporter
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 6: on the escape pod with the villainous mister tic Tacco
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 6: After getting systems back online on the ship. Who knows four?
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 6: How are the systems overloaded? But there's no power to
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 6: shield or weapons? You have too much power but no power. Okay,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: that's a good point. And just like that, the ship
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 6: is fine looking, all spick and span, no need for
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 6: dry dock for repairs or anything. Just a minor inconvenience
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: on the way to Earth, you know, just put her
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 6: down as the headquarters in San Francisco, no problem. Yeah,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 6: just some issues I had with episode one. But anyway
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 6: to sum up, episode two pretty much felt like a
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 6: Disney Team dramedy.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: They could cut.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 6: Back a little bit on the goofiness silliness. In my opinion,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 6: felt like they were trying way too hard. There needs
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 6: to be some balance, So I will continue to watch
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: Star Trek the Search for Mommy, Star Trek a Starfleet
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: Academy for now.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, those are my thoughts. Looking forward to hearing your
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 6: guys thoughts for it devolved a big d Your Trek cast,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 6: New York City Freelance correspondent. Additional notes, what are your
• 1:02:05

• 1:02:12
  Speaker 6: And why is the Voyagers warping to cell down when
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: it's supposed to be at war?
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes, Daniel hit the nerd alert. I think that
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 5: there's a nerd alert.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was a warning warning, nerd alert, nerd alert.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: There you go.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like the new intro.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I liked it too, but I did. Yeah, there
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: were ships missing, for.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 5: Sure, there were, and I realized they can't you know,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: those were like.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 6: The the important ships, the main strips, you.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: Know, yeah, the live action ones, at least most of
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: the right, right. Yeah, So yeah, he had mentioned something
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: in there that that oh yeah, the search for Mommy
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: I still somewhere else. I forget where I saw it.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: But they had pointed out that the relationship between Caleb
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: and and Aki is very similar to the relationship that
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: Kirk and Pike had in the two thousand and nine
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: Star Trek, where the mentor finds him at a low spot.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: He's a he's practically a criminal and and all these
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: horrible things, and he's like, let me bring you to
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: Starfleet and show you the roads, kid. Yeah.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but also you know, she's she's a mom without
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: a son. He's a son without a mom. Right, two
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: great tastes to taste great together. You know they're gonna
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: be They're gonna be sending, spending Thanksgiving together. It's gonna
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: be Facebook posts about it.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So there's the thing in writing where like you
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: can kind of get a little bit behind the psychology
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: of a writer if you pay attention to what they
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: write about. And Alex Kurtz has a lot of these.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: I want a mentor. I want someone to show me
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: the ropes kind of characters. Yeah, yeah, like it happens
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: a lot in his writing. So yeah, well, let's try
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: some of these voicemails. Hopefully you can hear them, Dan,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: So we'll try the first one.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: We'll recap them. Yeah.

• 1:04:32
  Speaker 10: I love the new look at the Klingon. I love
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 10: the eyebrow piercing on the Klingon. I think the whole
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 10: show is great. I think they're taking Star Trek in
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 10: a good direction. I love the show and I appreciate you, guys,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 10: thank you, thank you.

  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: So, here's somebody else who called and gave us their
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: opinion on Starfleet Academy.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: Starfleet Academy is nothing but seeing we're all sewage. That
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 7: is an upfront to not only Star Trek's good American values,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 7: but to the entirety of science fiction. It is just
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 7: a bunch of stupid, worthless, whiny little breads. The high pathetic,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 7: little soy boys and utter leftist woke garbage. Star Trek
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 7: has never been woke. Star Trek will never be woke.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 7: We are not gate keeping hard enough.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: Well wow, yeah, since he was so angry, I made
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: him a cute little bunny.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, well we we appreciate uh, we appreciate you
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 6: calling in with your uh, with your opinion.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. So yeah, that's the other thing, guys,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: if you leave a voicemail recapped for me, I didn't
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: get any of that. Oh, the cute bunny was very
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: upset about star Trek and that it's never been woke.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 6: And let's just say he was wearing his Maga hat
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 6: while he was sharing.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll play we'll play another one. We'll play
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: another one.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah, Starfie starfe Academy was complete trash.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: It was slightly better.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 13: Than I expected it to be, but uh, total junk.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 13: Not good by any means, like, by any standard.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: It was just terrible.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 13: The dialogue was just atrocious. I can't believe that anyone
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 13: would even produce such garbage, Like how how are people
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 13: not being fired for this?
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 4: I'm amazed.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 13: Anyways, Yeah, that's my two cents, So there you go.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, at least he mentioned something he didn't like, something specific.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 6: He said he didn't like the dialogue. And I can
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 6: see how some people wouldn't like the dialogue. It did
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 6: seem a little bit forced at times. And I was really,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 6: you know, I was conflicted because this was something that
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 6: was produced and directed by Alex Kurtzman. And I don't
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 6: know if anybody here knows my opinion of Alex Kurtzman.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 6: But I hope he I hope he sucked gigs and
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 6: and and goes away. But I I was, you know,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 6: not everything. You know, even a blind squirrel finds a
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 6: nut every once in a while. And I was, this
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 6: was above fifty for me. Okay, So but I but
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 6: I respect the opinion of the callers, you know, a
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 6: lot of I can understand why a lot of people
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 6: wouldn't like it.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: You know, it's it's very Discovery esque.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: So I see that.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: All right, Just a technical question for you, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: can you hear me?
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: I can hear you.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: I can't hear you. Is there something playing right now?
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 4: Can you hear me?
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: Dan?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: I can hear you. Okay, Daniel, you that's weird.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: You don't hear me at all? I think what. I
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: know what Dan's problem is.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 6: He doesn't like to hear anything from the left, and
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 6: I think that's what that's what it is.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't hear any of those voicemails. I'm wondering
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: if they're going through the same audio channel as the
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: like the nerd alert or not. Because I can hear those.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: I have to unmute the nerd alert in order to
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: hear it. But the voicemails I hear nothing. There's no
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: option for me to unmute it or anything like that.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know, and I'm not hearing you at all,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: Daniel was before. Yeah, I don't want to reset, Okay, Yeah, well,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: well he resets. Let's play another voicemail because we got
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: still a couple more to do, so, yeah, let's play this.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: Let's play this other voicemail.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 11: It's recorded quickly because I've only got two minutes. This
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 11: is Tim in England, not Tim and Dan in Australia.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: No, mate, this is Tim now.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 11: So I've just made some quick notes and I'm going
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 11: to go through these really quickly because I've only got
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 11: two minutes.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: Right, Stafree Academy.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 11: I love the pre animation of the ships, you know,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 11: showing any Enterprise voyager, you know, all that stuff that
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 11: was great. I like the first ten minutes, really quite
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 11: love the first ten minutes.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 8: The intro.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 11: The music is rubbish. The theme music is awful. But
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 11: you'll notice that the first few notes at Aileiah's.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: Theme from Star Trek the motion picture.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 11: Why are they being clever or do they just not
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 11: know that or do they not care? The first officer
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 11: is doing my head in the half cling on half
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 11: gem and dar.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: It's not working for me.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 11: Don't force goofiness every three seconds. It ain't working. The
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 11: ship that breaks into several parts to be starfleetcoming rubbish.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 11: I do like the interactions between Kleb and the Captain Luna.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 11: I love the whole sort of foster adoptive mother. That
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 11: was probably my favorite bit. So they say you should
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 11: say one nice thing that their interaction was really nice.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 11: Also like Kleb's interaction with the with the landoner guy,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 11: you know, the guy who he was having a fight with,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 11: but now they're gonna have a really good relationship. And
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 11: I think, and I love this the whole sort of
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 11: roomy with the third chap the betas, what have they done?
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 11: To the betazoids. I don't get that. Did they even
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 11: have black eyes? I couldn't see because the show's not
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 11: very well lit. Yeah, I like the Cockney bloke. Why
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 11: was Admiral Hansoon and the Betay's head bloke negotiating in
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 11: front of an audience of cadets? Doesn't make sense. That's
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 11: one minute fifty five. Love you very much. I'll do
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 11: another one later. CLA, I love you bye.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 4: Damn. That's great.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: Loved it?
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we we we love hearing from you.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 6: The Betasweit thing with the black guys, we've always seen
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 6: them with black guys counselor.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: Examples.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: But are you saying black eyes or black guys?
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: That's what I heard? That's what I heard.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: Would you gotta be careful with that because it's winter
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: and when it shows and then rains and then refreezes,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: you know, you could say, hey, be careful, it's a
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: bunch of black eyes out there.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 4: Is there a black person here?
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, I've seen that video of that.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: Black purse.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: They're a white person here too.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 5: No, I'm not looking for one of those.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: I'm looking for the black person here. Wait, are you
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: saying the black purse? In here. Yeah, yeah, that video
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: black eyes.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 5: Uh, you know I didn't.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 6: I never noticed it in the next generation with with
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: Councer Troy or even with Lekswana, but you really noticed
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: it with Ensign Suitor A Crew and Suitor in Voyager.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: They gave him black contexts.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 6: So I guess what the what the thing is is
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 6: that that betazolays have black eyes.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so hey, real quick, we got one more voicemail
• 1:12:54
