• 2:27
  Speaker 2: it was great.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: He did.

  Speaker 3: He's been ahead a couple of times. Yeah, Disaster was
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: one and then uh, the times Zarrow was the other one.

• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Mhm.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: What did you think of these giraffe horns on these people?
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, it seemed like a pretty quick and easy
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: way to really differentiate, you know, the pre warped species
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: from them. Yeah, and also considering they're also pretty different,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: and it made them look like each other.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: It maybe want to go to toys r us.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't want to grow up.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so to Lin's got her ears covered mm hmm,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: so that you know you don't want to seize her.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: No one sees her pointy ears smooth. But it's like,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: all right, we can we can add antenna, but we
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: can't change your ears.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Now. Yeah, I don't know.

• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe the cat's not that great of a doctor.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: I don't know.

  Speaker 3: This definitely wasn't having about being a makeup artist.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: Oh what's his name? Snell? Snell?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: That guy, I think something like that.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I you know, you know, you know, sometimes you see
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: something in your mind, your mind takes like fifteen steps
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: in your head, like who's who's this guy, what's his involvement.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: In the story, where did he come from? And I thought,
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: I thought for sure that that this guy found.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: The shell craft and read a copy of the Rules
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: of Acquisition because he just seemed very for ringy to me.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Oh he's yeah, he was the first the first time out. Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought I thought one hundred if they made
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: this like live action, that would be Danny DeVito.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, I like it, Okay, okay, Yeah, So.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I thought I had voiced him. He's done a bunch
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: of he's done a bunch of voice acting. Yeah, Turtles,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: duct tails. Uh. The guy's name is Eric Bowser b
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: A U Z A. So I'm gonna say boy, but
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: he's yeah, he's done Transformers, Ductails, the newer one, uh,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: lower decks Bob's burgers, all kinds of stuff, so all
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: all the.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: All the voice work.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt like it was a pretty simple episode.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: They very much kept trying to say They're kind of
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: like this version of the Inner Light, like they say it,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's the references getting are getting less and less subtle.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: They're shut up dropping, they're they're dropping the titles of
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: past episodes. Oh this is a carbon creek situation. Yeah,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: this could be my inter light. I need my flute.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, So I I think last time I
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: talked about I haven't really been laughing with these episodes
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: the way I used to, and I'm kind of falling
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: out of love with the show. It was strange this
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: week because I didn't laugh, right, but I but I
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: still really enjoyed the episode. It had a fun story,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: it had a neat cameo, but I wasn't laughing.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I feel like it was the most star treky episode
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: we've had, yeah season, and that's probably why you liked it,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, probably, yeah, probably.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: You know, it's sort of going in the direction of
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the Orville, like, less laughs, more story.
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Orville season three was a lot like that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was Orville laughing. Orville Season three was just amazing.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: The writing was amazing. They dropped the well they didn't
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: drop the humor, but they lessened to the humor and
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: win more drama.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: But they went so much more drama side five that
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: it was it was the best star Trek in years
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: at that point.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I like that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this part where we're Boimler and uh where they
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: dropped their drinks on the control pad and they're just
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: trying to clean it up.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: There's no no food out of the transporter room. They know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: they were all got cringey when they were licking it up.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: It was Yeah, what was it like every second was
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: like a few days or something?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Every month?
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah it was was was a week I think or
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: a month, yeah, because they were.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Got a year.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just about Yeah.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: So here's what I want to know. Time time dilation.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Time dilation in the in the twenty fourth century, twenty
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: fifth century. And without getting into the argument about do
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: they have money in the twenty fifth century, let's just
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: assume for a minute that starfleet officers get paid. I
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: go on, I go on a a time dilation mission,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: and I'm down there on that planet for a year.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: But I'm going from the ship for forty minutes. How
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: much do I get paid?
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I think there's Army was filled out for that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: But do I get a year's Do I get a
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: year's salary? Or you know, I got forty minutes.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah. In the Army, we had a TDC form that
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: we filled out Time Dilation Compensation form. So whenever we
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: went on a mission and our time frame was different
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: than basis time frame, we had to fill out a
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: special form. Most people didn't fill it out just because
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: it was more of a pain in the butt to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: fill the form out than it was to get paid.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: So you have to get the fringate Counting Department to
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: sign off on.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Your extra check, right, right's the problem. It'd be like
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: signing a travel voucher. Filling out a travel voucher. It's
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: just not worth it.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Jas with poor O'Brien didn't get anything.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: Oh god, that's right, Yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, sorry, it wasn't It wasn't real. I can see.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I can see a Ferringy attorney ad on TV. You know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: have you been has your mind been in prison for
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the last thirty years? You may be entitled the compensation.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: Nice.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I liked the episode. I thought it was fun I
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: did laugh at the when Mariner was in prison.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I thought that was yeah, that was that was funny.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: That was funny. The look on her face.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, what is this drink? What does it? What
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: does it have? It has lemons? Is that shrimp?
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it looked like a looks awful.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like bloody mar Yeah, bloody Mary kind of.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: My uncles were drinking this in California when I was
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: down there.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: No, really, yeah, this is a real thing.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: It's a real drink. Yeah, it has shrimped, but yeah
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: again yeah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Well it still looks awful. Sorry, pal, They loved it.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I don't drink.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Never talk about drinking your dinner and keep this picture up.
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Boimler and Ruththerford sort of have this this thing where
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: they're they're they're growing their beards, and with Rutherford it's
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: sort of it's sort of like when Jordi started growing
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: his beard and whatever. Yeah, in whatever season, And there's
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: a story behind it. I don't know all the details
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: of the story, but uh, LeVar.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Burton, he had a LeVar Burton had had a wedding.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: He wanted a beard for the wedding.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Oh okay, okay, so he grew the beard and then
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: shaved it off.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I you know, I remember a time when
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: my beard, you know, this is back when you know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: many many, many many years ago, when my beard was
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: coming in a lot like Boimler's and and there was
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: a point where I could only grow goateee because you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I couldn't grow any of the side stuff. So I
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: just wanted to say to Boimler and all the Boiler
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: fans out there, be patient, his his his strong beard
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: will come.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: In m hm hopefully someday for me. That's all I got.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, the necklace, right, it was the like
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the basically the homing beacon.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Kinda yeah, oh yeah, there was.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: It was so that they could let him know, hey,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: we're gonna come pick.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Now, we're about to pick you up. And I mean
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: you could kind of see the beats of the storyline
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: before they sort of happened. You know, you knew it
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: was gonna be a situation where the beacon would go
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: off as sort of an inconvenient time. Have to figure
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: out a way to get out of sight of everybody,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: and then you knew that sort of at the last
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: minute they were going to transport away before the you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: the guy that's eventually going to become a FERRINGI, you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: climbed over the mountain. You know, all shocks. I missed it.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: I like how they addressed the point of, you know,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: we can't leave anything behind to influence this society, but
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: we can let these people think that he's a total
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: crack pot.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah right, right for ten months. He deserves, he deserves.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: He's crazy.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Speaking of eving things behind it, I kind of like
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: how they used their phasers in the same way that
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I would use my phasers if I just wanted to
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: get rid of crap around my property. Like, they came
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: in to the crash site and they were just like,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: you know, level sixteen beam uh beam on their phasing everything. Yeah,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: you know, you're you've disappeared, and you've disappeared, spiry, vaporize
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: the trash, yep.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: A lot of things.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: So that was neat.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I did like that she made a hand crank machine.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to bring it back to life.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Ridiculous.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Well, he does use a lot less electricity without arms.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: And like so yeah, yeah, apparently the positronic brain doesn't
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: take a whole lot, but yeah, let's I mean, I
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: think it was really cool that Brent Spiner came back.
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: To do this.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, No, No, it wasn't so that was that
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: was cool for him to do that, and I really
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: like to see it. You know, it was an interesting choice,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: the purple thing. I thought that was neat especially it
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: was like, what color is your enterprise? Oh, it's just
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: kind of a gray. Oh, that seems like a missed
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: opportunity given the purple is an option. Yeah, so I
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: wonder who decided on purple, Like if that's like an
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: inside thing or oh and then what did mariners say?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I wonder if the I wonder if the hall, if
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: the carpet matches the hall, because there is kind of
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: a purple hue to a lot of things in in
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Next Gen Timeline. There's a lot of like, oh, the carpet,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: for one, there's a purple U to the carpet. Yeah.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: I thought it was more of a maroon, But.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I guess it depends on how the camera catches it.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: You know, It's like what color is D Space nine?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Is it brown or is it gray?
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: Mm?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Hm, oh it depends is gray?
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Right? Right? Why art?
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: I don't even get me started on that's right right.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Because because the shoot models are a completely different color,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: the camera catches them in a completely different color.
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: So right, I like that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: To Land made beauty products for the pre Warp Society,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: which looks which looks suspiciously like Mad Dog twenty twenty.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: Indeed, I mean with grapes that size, Oh my god,
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: tons of cheap wine you can.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Make to Oh yeah, uh so let's see how did
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: the episode end? Oh that's right, uh Chi Lan and
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: always yeah, tendy uh are we're in the running for
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: bridge science officer. Okay, and and Data had a little
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: conversation with the captain that I have a suggestion, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: as it turns out, she decided to make both of
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: them co science officers on the bridge.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what could go wrong because they work as well
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: as a team.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's that's fine. It's it's a cartoon, it's fine.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let them let him do whatever.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: It's not real, Star Trek. It's just a cartoon.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, hey, now this this is canon adjacent mm.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Hmm until section thirty one.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I just want at some point at some
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: point somewhere somebody to make reference to our war with
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: the animated universe.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Then what what is the same?

  Speaker 3: So we only have three episodes left. We've got a
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: per Decks, Fizzier Quest, Upper Texts, Upper Decker, Upper Decks. Yeah,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: and then the last episode is called the New Next Generation.

  Speaker 2: We have the log line for Upper Decks and I'm
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: cracking up at it. Please the lower decks have a
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: pumpkin carving party.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: That's an.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Okay, So this show is ending this? Oh yeah, and
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: whoever writes these things, I think they just gave up. No, sure, sure,
• 17:34

• 17:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I I imagine that pumpkin carving contest will be like
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: one scene.

  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: The plot is unknown as time. There you go, there
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: we go okay, all right, So that's my contribution to
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: the show. Everybody, well, all right, well I guess it's
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: time for listener feedback.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to that, so let me please.
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: Listener feedback.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Nobody makes dead air like Scott.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: That's right. How we all mad?
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: It's it's why you got it's why you hired me on.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. So yeah, I just asked people to x
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: up in the chat, so jazz business is coming on.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: But let me see if we have any other feedback.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Well I'm checking.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I did get a couple of comments about our interview
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: with Brian Bolwise. People were pretty happy with it. I
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: thought it was fun. One of one of the things
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: that we mentioned in the interview so people can check
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: it out, is he already announced that in the next wave.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: So they've announced Wave one, but they he had mentioned
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: in wave two there's going to be a Kirk figure.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: So we asked him which Kirk. This is a few
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: of them, so he answered that. He also kind of
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: let us know what the limitations of the licenses, so
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: what we can't expect him when we can't expect So
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: that's kind of cool, you know.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So yeah, and you know.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: One of the things that he talked about during the
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: interview too that I found interesting was like the actual
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: nuts and bolts process of you know, making a jellico
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: look like a jellico. And he said something that was
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: surprising to me. He said, yeah, they the artists do
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: the thing and they make a model of the head
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: and then we send that to Ronnie Cox to get
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: his approval. Right, And I'm like, oh, really, because I
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: had no you know, and he it's basically not everyone
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: is different, so you know, some some some actors ahead
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: of a contract, you know, to don't use my likeness,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: you know, so it's different for every every actor. But
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I thought that was Ye, it's a long it's a
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: long process.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: It's it's a funny process too, because sometimes these contracts. Okay,
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: so Ronnie Cox Star Trek related contract was written in
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know what, nineteen ninety two. Yeah, they still
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: have to abide by that contract to create an action
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: figure of him as that character in twenty twenty five.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: I think that's I think that's cool.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: What do the rules of acquisitions say? Contract is? Contract
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: is a.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Contract between well, you know, just for instance, when was
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: the last time you saw an action figure of a
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Tom Cruise character. Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's I would
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: make his contract.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: He doesn't.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a I don't know if
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: it's a scientology thing or something.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: That we don't want to oh no, whatever.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: But you know, every time, every time people talk about
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: him as Iron Man, that's the worst thing that could happen,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: because you know he won't allow it. He won't allow
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: that type of merchandising.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: So that's true.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: All right, we got Jazz was waiting sudden me bring
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: him on there? He is, Hey, hey, what's going on?
• 21:42

  Speaker 8: I think that was the best season, was the Packlods.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: So Scott great, you know he could do his little
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: Packlod speeches.
• 24:52

• 24:55
  Speaker 3: and you can hold me to this, I will do
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: another pack lead review.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, do you mean you'll do them?
• 25:00

• 25:36
  Speaker 8: Barkley at or something. Yeah, it's gotta be a complete
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: screw up that would give it there, that would be
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: so horrible. Oh God, maybe that's why the Maquis went crazy.
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: Maybe they got stuck there.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah maybe, alright, say they went crazy because I guess
• 25:56
