00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Short stories from the world of the USS Shitshow.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:32,000
First Officer's Log, Star Date, Monday after Tuesday. They had Security Officer Jay Brown up Engineer Stiles and Ensign Cartman after it was reported that Engineer Stiles was present when Ensign Cartman decided to breach containment.

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:50,000
After a session of three banned hollers, this as a result ended up with the flooding of three of the holodecks in what can only be described as a very sticky situation.

4
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Accessing Library Computer Data.

5
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,000
First Officer, I have Ensign Cartman and Engineer Stiles for you regarding the flooding of three decks full of seamen.

6
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Ah, very good. Remaining.

7
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Engineer Stiles, can you please provide me details as to how the breach of containment occurred?

8
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Well, I was going down into the Jefferies Tube to do my normal work routine when I heard this sloshing sound coming from the holodeck maintenance room. And after investigating, I found Ensign Cartman submerged in the liquids capture tank.

9
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Ensign Cartman, is this true?

10
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Yes sir, I enjoyed the warmth and the saltiness of it all. You have to try it.

11
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
So how is it the containers became to be broken?

12
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Ensign Cartman refused to vacate the container so I thought it would be a good idea to stun Ensign Cartman with my phaser and then safely remove him after he was unconscious.

13
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Like duck down into the goo?

14
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Unfortunately, the shot ruptured the main tank and it flowed out under the tube flooding the lower decks.

15
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,000
So you hit the street. Ensign Cartman, you decided to go swimming in biological waste.

16
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Yes sir, best to get it while it is fresh.

17
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
And the new engineer styles shot the main tank causing the flood?

18
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Yes sir.

19
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,000
So due to you being a perverse creature and your bad shooting, I now have three decks filled with cum?

20
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Yes sir.

21
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
My gosh, the stain on the cube.

22
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Sir, he also managed to impregnate the warp drive.

23
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Excuse us sir J, take these two to the brig.

24
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:11,000
I've caught the yawn.

25
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Was that recording? I just caught that yawn.

26
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
It was recording Rob, it was.

27
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Hello everyone, welcome to the Untitled Trek Show.

28
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Hello.

29
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,000
How's your Trek Fortnite been? I nearly said week.

30
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I wish you'd said week so I wouldn't be the only one who did it.

31
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
You know what, it's not been bad. I haven't really watched much Trek.

32
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,000
I watched this obviously. I watched it on the plane out to Spain.

33
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:48,000
And sci-fi wise I think I'm only watching Spaceman on Netflix, which is a really weird serious Adam Sandler film

34
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,000
where he plays a Chechen astronaut who's been sent out to look at a space anomaly.

35
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:03,000
And it's from the Czech Republic, which doesn't exist anymore I don't think.

36
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:13,000
So it's a little bit weird and all I can tell you is he's alone on a spaceship and now a giant spider is talking to him.

37
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Okay.

38
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000
It's weird and it's him serious. I was half expecting it to be some sort of piss take film because it's Adam Sandler.

39
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
But it's quite a serious kind of sci-fi film. I'm quite enjoying it at the moment.

40
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
I thought it was that big beard. It's hard to recognize him in the picture they give you.

41
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
It's very hard to recognize him. You can see it's him.

42
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000
But at the same time, it's very easy to find yourself going, I'm not sure that is him actually.

43
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Does he ever do his voice in that? Adam Sandler.

44
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
No.

45
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
What kind of comedy do you do?

46
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Well, my comedy is just basically soft to loud.

47
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Soft to loud?

48
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Yeah. I go, you know what I mean?

49
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
So he's doing, I don't really know what accent he's doing because he sounds American.

50
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:01,000
He doesn't sound Czech. He's meant to be married to an American, I think.

51
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,000
The voices are all off, but we're just going to kind of ignore that, I think.

52
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
And the IMDB ratings have been a bit unfair. I think 5.8 out of 10.

53
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
I'm quite enjoying it. It might be a bit of a lemon later.

54
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
So I'll let you know two weeks time when I've finished watching it.

55
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,000
There are a few things on IMDB where the ratings are just off.

56
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Well, it just takes a handful of people to go on there and just hate-raise it.

57
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
No review, no actual criticism.

58
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Just, I don't like it because it's Adam Sandler, so I'm going to give it a one star.

59
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
So that's the dangerous thing with it, I guess.

60
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000
But yeah, same with me, really. What have I watched? Nothing really sci-fi.

61
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Only this was the only sci-fi.

62
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
You don't watch much TV, if I'm honest. Well, I've been playing Helldivers.

63
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
I can't keep talking about Helldivers every fortnight.

64
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Say hello to democracy!

65
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
No, we can't keep talking about Helldivers.

66
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
It has made me want to re-watch Starship Troopers, though.

67
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
I think I'd quite like to watch that again, actually.

68
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Maybe we should watch that one together, then, at some point.

69
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
I've never seen Number 2, either. I have heard that is terrible.

70
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Yeah, it's a straight-to-TV film.

71
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Just like Universal Soldier 2, Universal Soldier 3, Universal Soldier 4.

72
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
All of those were straight-to-TV.

73
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
What, like Police Academy 3?

74
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Who was 3? One of the good ones.

75
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
I don't know. I bought them all on Blu-ray recently, and I'm going to watch them all

76
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
because I've realised that there's two or three I may not have seen.

77
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Is it true that the guy that does the voices can actually do those voices?

78
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:44,000
That's amazing.

79
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
What are you in for?

80
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
I'll show you.

81
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Goddamn it! Stop that!

82
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Oh, no, sir. No, not you.

83
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
That's terrific. Really. What's your name?

84
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
James. Laravel Jones.

85
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
He can do those sounds.

86
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000
And, you know, this was on Threads, and I know this has nothing to do with sci-fi.

87
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Actually, it kind of is.

88
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
What's her name? Hang on.

89
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000
I'm going to dial it up on Threads while we talk because we're that classy of a podcast.

90
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,000
There was an actress on Threads, and here we go.

91
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
She started a thread.

92
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Jool State. Do you know who Jool State is?

93
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
No.

94
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Did you ever watch Firefly?

95
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
I've seen the film, and I wish I'd seen the series.

96
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
She plays the engineer in the film and the series.

97
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
I know who it is, though.

98
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
And she put, showing your child a movie from the 80s that were geared towards kids is fun

99
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
because they get to hear classic phrases such as, son of a bitch and up yours.

100
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000
And then I've put on their ha-ha, and then you realise, oh, boy, this was way more risky than I remember.

101
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Which is true.

102
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
And Police Academy, I'm sure I watched that as a kid.

103
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Obviously, in the UK, we got pre-Watershed, and they would heavily edit films.

104
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000
And it was only a few years ago, I remember watching Police Academy for the first time

105
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,000
and realising just how rude it is with, like, Lissard getting a blowjob

106
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
because Mahoney's hidden a hooker under the desk.

107
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Things like that.

108
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
There's just so many things. It's like, I never knew that was in this film.

109
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
So, oh.

110
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Enterprise. Our first episode away from the I Would Call Him The Big Two.

111
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Okay, well, actually, no. I'm sorry.

112
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,000
I know we're going off on tangents, but first of all, last week you called this Star Wars by mistake.

113
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Yeah.

114
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
So I'm just going to...

115
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
I did, yeah.

116
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
I didn't own it, though.

117
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
You did own it. You did own it.

118
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Oh, no, in the text message, I did.

119
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
So I thought I'd say on the episode.

120
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
We've got a record about Star Wars, do we?

121
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Oh, yeah. What else have I done?

122
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
No, no, and the second thing is...

123
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
These are really IRL corrections. You know I don't do corrections.

124
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,000
We stopped doing corrections because of how many mistakes we make.

125
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
We opened the first three episodes with, we made a mistake last week, we made a mistake last week.

126
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
I teleported them to a different dimension.

127
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Oh, no. This one is because we got an email.

128
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Right, so this is Teddy. So this is my friend.

129
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
He said he was going to start watching Star Trek based on the fact that he listened to the Unsighted Trek show.

130
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,000
And I sent him three or four weeks ago a list of what order I would do it with and how I would watch it.

131
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
So he's just put from the last episode two thoughts. So this was rascals.

132
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Yep.

133
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,000
If the phasers, any gun has stun, why don't they just shoot people instead of fighting?

134
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Yep.

135
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Which is 100% actually.

136
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,000
All phasers are always set to stun as standard. So why is that? Oh, no, he's coming towards me.

137
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Worf, just shoot him.

138
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Yeah, well, Worf's rubbish anyway.

139
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Yeah, that's true. And then also I always thought of all the ships as Navy vessels like Rob.

140
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
A bit given to TJ's description, it now seems like they may be more like cruise ships.

141
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Yeah.

142
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,000
And actually that ties in with this episode because we'll talk about Enterprise.

143
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
As you say, this is our first time talking about Enterprise.

144
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:24,000
But yeah, the whole, I think the idea was Gene Roddenberry based this on Navy and military.

145
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000
And actually I quite like that. I think he's right.

146
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000
The Enterprise D is like a cruise ship. It has dolphins.

147
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Yeah, the D is for dolphins.

148
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Oh, there you go.

149
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000
The Enterprise D.

150
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Dolphin. Yeah, they have to have an animal for every letter.

151
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Oh, OK. So you've got, let's see, the Enterprise Aardvark.

152
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Yeah.

153
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
We're not going to do the whole alphabet.

154
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Badgers.

155
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Badgers. Nice.

156
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Are they doing animals? I mean, dolphins aren't extinct, obviously, but maybe in their time they are.

157
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Oh, Kay would love it. 7001P, the panda at Enterprise.

158
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,000
E.B. Elephants.

159
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Yeah, OK. The zebra.

160
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Anyway, we'll get to X and you've got X-ray fish and pretty much that's it.

161
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
So is that the Enterprise X-ray fish?

162
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000
I always thought it was funny when they put all the kids' cards for animals.

163
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,000
X-ray fish.

164
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,000
X-ray fish, yeah, because we all talk about X-ray fish all the time.

165
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Oh, that's, yeah, I know what you mean on that.

166
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Xenomorph.

167
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Oh, that's much better. There you go. Right. We solved that.

168
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Anyway, I am not going to disturb you again.

169
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Enterprise. We haven't...

170
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Yeah, for those who couldn't see that, he tried to interrupt me visually.

171
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Enter authorization code.

172
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000
So all we've done is TNG and Voyager so far, I think.

173
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Yeah, we've not done anything else. We've discussed Discovery.

174
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
We did a lot of lower decks.

175
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Yes, but as actual picking an episode to talk about.

176
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
No, 100%. We haven't done anything but TNG and Voyager on that.

177
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000
So I'm glad we've done something different, and it was Enterprise, which is a good one.

178
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
I, history of Enterprise, never really watched it.

179
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
I can't particularly remember that single episode.

180
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
So from my point, I watched a handful of them.

181
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,000
It didn't captivate me enough to say I want to be home in time to watch it.

182
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,000
So I then missed episodes, and we looked it up earlier.

183
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
It was 2001 to 2004, I think I said.

184
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,000
So that was kind of me, aged 17 through to 20.

185
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,000
So I was out drinking, doing various other things, and out with friends a lot.

186
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
So that's probably why I didn't watch this.

187
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,000
So I've tried re-watching it a couple of times through.

188
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,000
I know, for example, season three is possibly the worst season,

189
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
but apparently it gets better in season four.

190
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
I've got to get through all four seasons at some point.

191
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
I think Miranda said something pretty similar. She's seen most of them.

192
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
A bit like Deep Space Nine.

193
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,000
I just haven't given it a chance to get to the end when I should do.

194
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Yeah. As I said, I've not really watched any episodes,

195
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000
so I was kind of just looking forward to watching an episode, basically.

196
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Something new.

197
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Yeah.

198
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
So seeing that you've only just watched this for the first time,

199
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
I don't like the negative feedback people give about Enterprise,

200
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000
because I don't agree with the loss of it.

201
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Yeah, it was a little bit hammy, but you know what?

202
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,000
It genuinely feels like the early days of the Federation.

203
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000
The ship is exactly as I picture it.

204
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
They've kind of got scaffolding bars and stuff up.

205
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
I've written that, yeah.

206
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:41,000
As things like the handrails, and everything feels like it's technology

207
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
that's been shoved into something new,

208
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
rather than everything is brand new, shiny, and really good.

209
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000
It felt like they'd made a ship solely for the purpose

210
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000
of getting it into space and just going,

211
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
almost as quick as they can.

212
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
They haven't made it to make...

213
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
They haven't got soft furnishings everywhere.

214
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000
When you see the bridge and it's all very much, this is a console.

215
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000
That's what this is.

216
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
It feels like you're on a submarine or a warship.

217
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
It feels naval now.

218
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Yes, I felt submarini.

219
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
And that's why I wanted to do Teddy's email before we got into this.

220
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
It felt really naval, which I think, as I said,

221
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:21,000
falls with what Gene Roddenberry imagined the series and the ships to be from.

222
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Hence the reason you've got the names like USS and everything like that.

223
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
I like it.

224
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
It feels different.

225
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
That's why I like Deep Space Nine.

226
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000
It wasn't just the standard corridors of the Enterprise that we were used to,

227
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000
which, let's face it, in Voyager, it looks slightly different,

228
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
but it just feels the same with looks.

229
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Whereas Deep Space Nine, you have this Cardassian, Bajoran space station,

230
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000
which is completely different to anything we've got before.

231
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:01,000
So it's visually interesting as well as somewhere that you don't know what to expect to exist.

232
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
And then coming to Enterprise, it's exactly the same.

233
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:11,000
We've got this old ship that's pre-Kirk Enterprise, pre-Pike Enterprise even.

234
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:20,000
And it feels closer to the technology that we have now than we see in future episodes,

235
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
future seasons even, or series.

236
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Well, they don't have the transporter, do they?

237
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000
They only have a grappling hook or something.

238
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
So yeah, they've not got the...

239
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Yes, they've got a grappling hook, which is in place of the tractor beam.

240
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
The tractor beam, sorry, this one.

241
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
And the transporter is in still the phase of, we use it for cargo.

242
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,000
They've heard rumours of people going through it, but no one would like to risk it.

243
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And it's all done with almost like a joystick controlling it,

244
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
trying to target them if you ever see it in an episode.

245
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:57,000
And again, it feels naturally like you feel it should at that stage of the Federation.

246
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,000
So that's why I quite like Enterprise.

247
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:10,000
It has probably more value to the we are explorers than the next generation does.

248
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:16,000
By the time the next generation's come, you've got the Kirk era that's done exploration.

249
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Really, I know space is meant to be huge and there's always things they're going to come across,

250
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
but it never feels new.

251
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000
It never feels that exciting, the exploration anymore in the later series.

252
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Even in Voyager when they're out in the middle of nowhere,

253
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,000
the exploration kind of takes a sideline more for the stories they give.

254
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Whereas Enterprise, when they come across the new races,

255
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
it's quite nice because we already know what that race is that we'll find out in today.

256
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
But they've never met them.

257
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Exactly. And I just liked it.

258
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,000
I liked that idea.

259
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
I liked that they didn't just solely go with races that no one had ever heard of because they could.

260
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
They went with familiar ones.

261
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Yeah. Oh, and as we'll get into it, that tied into why I was very confused at the start of the episode.

262
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Oh, so let's just crack on then. Go for it.

263
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
That's my... I know I'm going to put in there.

264
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Transition.

265
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Accessing library computer data.

266
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
So Enterprise season one, episode 19.

267
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Yes, as I think we've said 18 a couple of times.

268
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
We might have said 18. We might have said it right on the last episode.

269
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,000
But I think when I asked for a reminder, you said 18 to me, but I think you might have said the right word.

270
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
But you named the episode.

271
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,000
We have said the name, so acquisition.

272
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Acquisition. So the reason we chose this, because you said it was very similar to The Rascals one in the premise of Ferengi taking over the ship.

273
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Exactly.

274
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000
And that's exactly what it is. I can't make it any shorter than that. Ferengi take over the ship.

275
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:58,000
And it... Spoilers. I liked this.

276
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Good. And I like this episode compared to Rascals.

277
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
We actually laughed out loud a couple of times in this.

278
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Yeah. So compared to Rascals, actually this makes Rascals look like a train wreck.

279
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Yeah. Well, it was anyway.

280
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Yes, it was. Okay. I don't think there's any really...

281
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000
You're being too nice to it. It's like you're trying to be gentle like the kids are watching you.

282
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:30,000
There's very little to save Rascals. Whereas this, you're right. It just was.

283
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:37,000
And let's go with what Arnoud Diehl has said from the Netherlands from the look of it.

284
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000
On IMDB.

285
00:18:38,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Yeah, that pretty much sums up the episode.

286
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:10,000
And I'm glad I suggested we look at this one and that it came to mind when we were talking about Rascals.

287
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Because it genuinely does feel like someone at Paramount and the whole Star Trek side of things said,

288
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:27,000
remember that episode we did on TNG? Bit shit, wasn't it? Can we try it again, please? And do it right this time. Boom.

289
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000
So the reason I said I was confused is because I haven't watched any of these.

290
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,000
I didn't know if it was like an episodic thing in that one episode leads to the next, leads to the next.

291
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
And this starts immediately in the thick of it. Yes.

292
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,000
The Ferengi are on the ship. It starts with everyone unconscious and the Ferengi are on the ship.

293
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Or you see the ship flying towards them. And completely in Ferengi language.

294
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000
And there's no subtitles. No. And that really messed with me.

295
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Miranda and I both sat there and were like, do we need to turn the subtitles on to hear it?

296
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
And I put them on and there's no subtitles. And I then googled it and I had to Google it to find it.

297
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,000
And it was like everyone was like, why have they no subtitles? And then someone actually wrote,

298
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,000
it's because they have never met them before. The whole premise of it makes total sense.

299
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:19,000
They've never met them before. No one, Hoshi's not in front of the computer to say, let's turn on the translator.

300
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,000
So why should the listener get to hear what these Ferengi are saying if no one else on the ship?

301
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Yeah, you see it later. They train their own one to learn Capturonata anyway.

302
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000
But yeah, so that was very confusing.

303
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:37,000
And so really you're just seeing the Ferengi talking to each other, going around stealing stuff in the ship.

304
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Yeah. First note, great sets. Really, really happy with the sets.

305
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
The Ferengi makeup is really good.

306
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,000
So the Ferengi makeup matches that of TNG and Deep Space Nine.

307
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:57,000
It's obviously a later series to both of those. So they've just got the same artists in and absolutely brilliant.

308
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:03,000
You're right. It's a great design of an alien. The giant ears, the fact that the ears, they're kind of...

309
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000
They're kink.

310
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,000
...erogenous zone. Yeah. They like them being stroked in ear massages.

311
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
It's a bit creepy, but it was a good idea.

312
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000
They get a lot of that from Deep Space Nine. They go on about that. Oh, yeah.

313
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
And yeah, that's really all that happens. And then we go into the intro.

314
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000
I'm pretty sure it's the only Star Trek that's got vocals in the intro.

315
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
It is. So it's Russell Watson singing whatever the song is.

316
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
I'm not ashamed to admit it. I quite like the song.

317
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
I quite like the song.

318
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,000
I like the acoustic guitar to it. I like the words. I like the meaning behind it.

319
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,000
I think it deserves the hate it gets.

320
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:04,000
It took me a little while to warm up to the actual visuals that were on display until I understood, oh, it's showing through time.

321
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Allegedly all enterprises that have ever existed.

322
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
I thought the CGI looked like dog shit.

323
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Yeah.

324
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000
That's harsh. When you compare it to the others, it looked rubbish.

325
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Clearly they were trying to just, I think that this must be the only one that Discovery is probably the same.

326
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Well, they haven't used models and done the old style.

327
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Yeah, they stopped using models towards the end of Voyager.

328
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,000
I think the last few seasons of Voyager is CGI only.

329
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000
And then everything else for it, I think.

330
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000
I think everything after First Contact film wise is all CGI as well.

331
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
What a shame.

332
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Which is a real shame. Absolutely. Because it looked so much better.

333
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Industrial Light and Magic did an amazing job on all those ship scenes that get reused over and over.

334
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
They don't age. They look fantastic.

335
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
It's all practical.

336
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Exactly. And we've talked about that many, many times before.

337
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:08,000
But yeah, you're right. And talk about the sets and the fact, the thing I really loved is all the doorways look like bulkheads that you have on the ship, like we were saying.

338
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
So you've got the oval shape you've got to kind of climb through.

339
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:18,000
I love the fact that knowing and how we know that the Fringies are just nasty little bits of shit that are constantly robbing people.

340
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,000
I like the fact that on their ship, they come out with ramps to get over bulkheads.

341
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,000
They're already prepared for all instances of what could be on a ship.

342
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Yeah, that was a nice touch. They weren't trying to lift it over. They just put these little ramps down and can wheel their stuff on and off, on and off, which is brilliant.

343
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:43,000
And things like the torpedoes as well that they've got, actually just look like rockets.

344
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Yeah, because when they roll that out and I said to myself, the bloody hell's that thing? It must be a torpedo.

345
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,000
It's an early torpedo.

346
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
It's actually a torpedo.

347
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
So yeah, don't forget, photon torpedoes don't exist at this point.

348
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Or they don't for the Federation anyway.

349
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:04,000
So the only torpedoes we see in this look like them off a jump jet, off something like that.

350
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:15,000
They're not like the candy bar phone shape that we see in kind of the original series films, which is just a big black oblong with a Federation icon on it.

351
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
I liked it.

352
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Everything about the set, I just really like it fits with it. But you're right, the CGI, especially considering the era 2001 to 2004, I just feel like they budgeted for the actors rather than the effects.

353
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:40,000
It feels like Paramount might have said, we will not give you any more money. This is all you've got. Work it out.

354
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:46,000
I think that's fine. It's just such a shame because when you compare it to stuff that was earlier, the earlier stuff is better.

355
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Oh, 100%. 100%.

356
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:58,000
We've said before, when you're watching the next generation intro and you see the Enterprise then, it looks just as good or better than anything you'd get now.

357
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Absolutely.

358
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
It looks like it's in space.

359
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:08,000
But at least the practical effects they do use, so the ship inside itself, the stages, look brilliant.

360
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Yeah, everything when the people are there, spot on.

361
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:21,000
It's not even engineering. They end up in engineering at one point, don't they? And the fact there's the little cramped desks in there to work on components and stuff, felt exactly like it should do.

362
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Well, the Ferengi's on the bridge at one point, stealing the chair and it's like a chair on the slidey thing.

363
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Yeah, I love it, it steals the bench.

364
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:33,000
It could have just been a chair with like a computer chair with wheels on. It could have done, but no, it's like a whole track.

365
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:41,000
A slightly over engineered chair, but that's probably the only thing that has been over engineered on that ship.

366
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Yeah, and that's the idea of that is they want the maneuverability, but if the ship's getting shaken around, you don't just wheel off into the distance.

367
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Maybe, maybe, but yeah, anyway, sorry, I caused you to digress.

368
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Yeah, so really everyone's, so yeah, we've done the intro. Yeah, as soon as that ship come on and I went, ooh, that was my reaction. Oh, I don't like that.

369
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,000
No.

370
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,000
But the song made up for it.

371
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Yeah, and as I say, the internal effects are fine. It's just that CGI when you see outside is the disappointing thing.

372
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:27,000
And you will get to it. There's a couple of episodes, earlier episodes. There's a couple of aliens. Oh, it's bad. It's bad CGI. They're CGI aliens. They're not actors.

373
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,000
That's a shame.

374
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000
They are. It's not, it's not good.

375
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:49,000
So intro's over and they are now still just rummaging around. But now we see more of the crew kind of plonked on the ground, particularly one of them. I don't remember any of their names has said they've collected loads of the women and lumped them into a pile.

376
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,000
And there's T'Pol.

377
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Yes.

378
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:57,000
And he is creepy AF, touching her ears up.

379
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Yeah, it's horrible.

380
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,000
It's horrible. I was genuinely uncomfortable with that.

381
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And the actress must have been as well. It must be so uncomfortable to go through that.

382
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Yeah.

383
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:15,000
I mean, even knowing that obviously nothing's going on and that's all just part of the scene. It's just, it's icky.

384
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Yeah, I've said here, creepy ear play is what I've actually been. So yeah, and then he starts touching her ears up because that's when our first implication that they've all got ear fetishes, at least this dude has.

385
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Yes.

386
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:35,000
And then they're on the bridge and they're fudging around on the bridge. And yeah, it looks, my first instinct was this looks like a submarine.

387
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Yeah.

388
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Yeah. Okay. And I like this, actually, they come to the bridge.

389
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:55,000
And they don't know what to do on the bridge. Now, we get it a little bit in Rascals, the frengi comes on and they require Riker to show how to manage the war penjune, for example.

390
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:05,000
But you get the idea that in Rascals, he says, you told us they wouldn't have time to lock out the computers, which suggests they knew what they were going to come and do and they'd be able to control them.

391
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:19,000
And we see it nonstop when they board an alien ship with the crew from the next generation. Oh, we're on a Klingon ship. Don't worry, I know how to do this. Now we're flying or they're onto a Borg ship and they can work out exactly what buttons to press on there, you know?

392
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:35,000
And that really pisses me off. How are you working all of this out without a universal translaser, without knowing exactly how it works? For all you know, this alien might shove his cock in that socket over there to fly it and use his fingers to control anything else, you know?

393
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:48,000
It's always a big jump that they can just fly the ship. Yet these frengis get onto the ship and they're like, I don't know what to do. Shit, an alarm's going off. What do we do? He shoots it.

394
00:28:48,000 --> 00:29:07,000
He doesn't try and press a button to fix it. He just shoots it till it stops. Yeah, I like that. That was a neat touch. I thought it was exactly the same thing. Yeah, they wouldn't know. Yeah, they've never come across the human race before. Yeah. So this is all new. It's all a language they don't understand. Yeah.

395
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:23,000
And then we get to see sexy man in his sexy pants. Trip. In the room that at this point in time, I didn't know what it was and I was thinking to myself, is he just having a tan? Because it's like a big room getting like heat lamps on him or something.

396
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:38,000
And he's just in his pants and a sleeping shirt or something. But even that I quite like. The fact that there's uniform, then there's under uniform. It just works. Yeah, all one colour.

397
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So you weren't aware that that's the decontamination room. So whenever they go on an away mission, Dr. Flock basically makes them go in the decon room and they've got to spend an X amount of time in there to be decontaminated from wherever they've gone.

398
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Okay. And that makes sense because he wasn't in the medical bay. Because when he comes out of that room, the doctor's not there. He goes into the doctor's room later. And that's why I was like, where was he?

399
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Yeah, but doesn't he break out of the room through a back wall or something? Oh, is that what he does? Yeah, I don't think he goes through the normal door, which might be into the medical bay. But then it depends. No, he's not. And it makes sense. Hear me out. It wouldn't be in the medical bay because you wouldn't be in the medical bay.

400
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Because you wouldn't let someone walk off a struttle, walk through the ship together. You would come out the shuttle straight into a decon room.

401
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Yeah, that's what I thought was happening. But it confused me later when he was like, you know, the doctor told me to go in or whatever. I was just a bit confused about what that room was. I'm saying it, I thought it was a tanning room. I just thought it was just some weird room.

402
00:30:46,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Yeah, but that just shows again, thought in TNG, we have the transporters fix everything. Don't worry. Oh, you had a contaminant on it. Transporter dealt with it. Oh, you had a blood sucking parasite in your shoe. Don't worry. It's been isolated by the transporter.

403
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:19,000
You know, oh, that person had a major weapon on them. It's been made inert by the transporter. They don't have the luxury of that in this. They've thought about it and said, right, yeah, they come off their shuttle. Just like if you came up from a submarine, you'd go in a decompression chamber.

404
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:33,000
That's what they're doing here. So again, it goes with the whole naval theme of it, which I just think it works. Yeah, it's neat. So he's, we just get quite a lot of scenes now of him running around with not much clothes on.

405
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Trying to work out what's going on.

406
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:54,000
What's happening. And then he does get into the doctor's room. Yeah. The thing I saw about this one is it's basically a glass door. How they did not see him run across the grass door as they're coming through it. I have no idea. Unless it's not see through on the other side. I can believe that.

407
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:07,000
You could believe that as a privacy thing. Maybe you can't see into the medical bay, but medical bay can see out maybe. But it doesn't feel like it would do. Knowing how the rest of the ship is built, it feels like it would just be a glass door.

408
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:14,000
And they start rummaging through the medical supplies and then they open up this box. What's in the box? The creature that's in the box.

409
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:26,000
I saw you with a box. What was in the box? Because I envy your normal life. Put the gun down David. It seems that envy is my sin. No, what's in the box? What's in the fucking box? Give me the gun.

410
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Oh, that's so yeah. You find out about that in an earlier episode. The doctor is called Flox. He has various alien pets he's bought with him that he uses for occasionally. I think he gets medicine from one of them or uses something that they can produce to treat someone with something.

411
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:59,000
So he kind of keeps them as pets, but they're also useful little tools for him to get kind of cures from them and stuff like that. It makes sense. It's like doctors using leeches. I mean, I guess because it might be, it's before replicators, right?

412
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Well, that's the point. So there's no synthetic medicines of certain kinds in space that they might need. And he's not human for this reason as well. So you find out that he's basically on board the Enterprise because the Federation in first contact make Vulcan contact.

413
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Vulcan then starts introducing us very slowly to the world of outer space. And they're basically the whole premise of the whole first series is really Vulcan saying, you're not ready, you're not ready, you're not ready. And Earth saying, yes, we are. We're now going to ignore you.

414
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Yeah. And one of the things they're doing is like a swap of medical personnel with other races. So there's a human doctor that would have been on the Enterprise is off with flox's alien race being a doctor there and flox's with the Enterprise.

415
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:06,000
So it's kind of this exchange they've done. So he's bought that race's ideas with him. And I presume there's probably like kind of rules that were meant to be, I mean, we're probably looking maybe a little bit too deeply into it.

416
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:25,000
But if you kind of follow the whole idea of the prime directive, which doesn't exist yet, remember, his race wouldn't bring something that could maybe fix cancer on Earth, for example. Whereas our doctor wouldn't take something that we've developed that alien race might not have.

417
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:41,000
That was the whole idea of the prime directive is not to swap technologies unless there's a very good reason to, because it might change the route of evolution for that alien race. But it feels like he's kind of bought his own little toolkit with him and that's it.

418
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000
Yeah.

419
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:50,000
So, yeah, so they're rummaging through the stuff, stealing torpedoes.

420
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:55,000
I've written, I hear throws dude off of Hemel, dear.

421
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,000
What?

422
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
I don't know what on Earth I've got.

423
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Oh, yeah, so there's a guy, I think he's unconscious and he just like pushes him off.

424
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Oh yes, yes.

425
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
I don't know if I wrote Hemel, dear.

426
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000
You hear him hit the ground quite hard.

427
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Is that on the bridge?

428
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Yes, I think that's on the bridge. He's over the one of the consoles and he just scoots him off.

429
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Oh yeah, yeah, that's it. And then he goes back and he starts touching up to Paul's ears again.

430
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Yes. And now they're discussing how should we just go because we could get more with slave labor of the women.

431
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:33,000
And then there's a guy going around essentially with a bin bag and he's in the mess hall and you notice he just chucks a cake in his bin bag.

432
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Yeah, I love it. So he tastes something, he's like, oh, this is disgusting. Then he tastes something else, oh, this is nice.

433
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,000
So he puts the plate with like lemon meringue pie or something.

434
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Yeah, straight in the bin bag.

435
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Another little touch there, no replicators. So the enterprise has got a cook, which we find out later.

436
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Well, cook will make something for you.

437
00:35:51,000 --> 00:36:00,000
And they've got that old fashioned idea of drawers on the wall that the cook would put food into and it's first come first serve.

438
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
That drawers got something in, you can take it.

439
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of good touches, isn't there?

440
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:10,000
They've obviously gone and looked at all the other Star Trek's and be like, OK, well, what have they got?

441
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,000
The replicators, we don't have that. What would they have instead?

442
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000
But they must have just worked backwards rather than trying to think of what's in the ship.

443
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,000
They've just gone, what have they got? Well, what would you have instead of that?

444
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Well, that's it, isn't it? They've gone kind of.

445
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:31,000
We know what Christopher Pike's Enterprise would be, not because of the latest series,

446
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,000
but because that's how the original series started with Christopher Pike basically being in charge of the Enterprise, then Kirk.

447
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,000
And I know it's not quite and we go backwards and forwards on that episode instead.

448
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,000
But they know from that point, there's a cook on the Enterprise then and replicators don't exist.

449
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:52,000
But then we get replicators and TNG. So they've kind of gone backwards from the TOS era and gone,

450
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:00,000
let's take it back a little bit more and make it a proper mess hall situation rather than cook and having a woman bring us our dinner,

451
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,000
because apparently that's all they're allowed to do.

452
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:11,000
So they've kind of gone back a little bit from there, but they've also gone a little bit forward as well with what we've got on Earth at the moment.

453
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,000
OK, if we go back and look at First Contact, which was what 1995 is a film,

454
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:21,000
we know that the first warp cable ship was basically just a missile with some seats strapped to the front of it.

455
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:31,000
So we can definitely go up from that, but we can't go too far, which is why I never really could never accept Discovery so much.

456
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:40,000
You can't say it's a pre-Enterprise series and have the technology on the ship as everything is ahead of it.

457
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Yeah.

458
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,000
OK, and you can't then just wash it away by saying, oh, it's a super secret and no one's allowed to know about it anymore.

459
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Because, OK, the whole Spore Drive, I can kind of understand. OK, fine.

460
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Keep that hush hush super section, whatever it is.

461
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:02,000
But the fact that it's got holographic displays and all the touch, it's just too much.

462
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
If you're trying to be in the same era.

463
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,000
And I know you're just trying to make it look good because that's what people want now.

464
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,000
People want super shiny, new looking things.

465
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,000
But then say it's its own timeline or something else.

466
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Don't try and say, but it is the same time.

467
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Because it's almost like Enterprise on that new Star Trek. I can't think of its name now.

468
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Why can't I remember the name with Pike?

469
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
We like it and I can't think of what it's called.

470
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Strange New World.

471
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Strange New World. Thank you.

472
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
That Enterprise feels old fashioned, which is exactly what I want.

473
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Yeah, it's got a few new things to it.

474
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Fine.

475
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,000
But it's not over the top.

476
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Whereas I found Discovery over the top.

477
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
And they could have easily done that for this.

478
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,000
They could have easily put 2001, 2000.

479
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,000
They could have had flat screens everywhere.

480
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,000
They could have made it look really, really modern.

481
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,000
They didn't.

482
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,000
They made it look dingy and old fashioned.

483
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,000
Yeah, just like chuck together to get in space quickly.

484
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:06,000
This is when we noticed first, I think, the scaffolding around the...

485
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Yeah, so around the bridge, you've got around basically that house of rim of the bridge.

486
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,000
You've got metal fencing, basically.

487
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,000
And in engineering, the way the warp core is, is where there's got literally a scaffolding tower.

488
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Yeah.

489
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,000
That's exactly what it is.

490
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Actually, as many faults as there is, and these films did exactly the same as Discovery,

491
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:30,000
the new Star Trek films, as much as they had holographic everything and everything like that,

492
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,000
they said it was their own timeline, which is good,

493
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,000
but you felt like it was a properly industrial ship.

494
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,000
So when you get down to their engine bay and things like that,

495
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,000
it feels like an industrial building.

496
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,000
It feels like you've walked into some sort of power plant.

497
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,000
It doesn't feel really nice and clean and super futuristic.

498
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,000
It feels like that's a nuclear reactor.

499
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Yeah, because like with TNG, it's very much the core is there, the big, tall core is there,

500
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
but the rest of it is really just computer interfaces.

501
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Exactly.

502
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,000
It's like a big hall almost.

503
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Yeah, it doesn't feel like there's going to be someone walking around with a tray on wheels

504
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:14,000
covered in oil and dilithium residue because they had to take a little valve out and repair it.

505
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Whereas you could quite believe this enterprise could break down in the middle of nowhere

506
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
and they strip the engine and they've got just chunks of valves and piping and everything else

507
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
just laid out that they're repairing.

508
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:32,000
So they've taken now, they've taken Captain whatever his name is, what's his name?

509
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Archer.

510
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Archer from the bridge and they've got him now trained up in engineering.

511
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Yep.

512
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,000
And they wake him up with their special zippy pen thing they put in his neck.

513
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,000
So interesting, I couldn't wear that one out.

514
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:51,000
So they do it with a hypo spray, but when Archer tells Trip,

515
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:56,000
oh, they did it with a hypo spray down in engineering or wherever they did it in cargo bay,

516
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:01,000
he kind of makes it sound like that it's their own hypo spray.

517
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Yeah.

518
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Not the Ferengi's.

519
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:08,000
I must have been writing a note when he says that later because I make a comment later going,

520
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
how does Trip know that's what that is?

521
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,000
He just picks it up and does it.

522
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,000
It could be anything in that spray.

523
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Although he does then try to go over to do it to Hoshi and obviously it's run out,

524
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,000
but he's there keeping trying and trying.

525
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:25,000
So maybe it is the Ferengi's, but you get, if I were to choose, say, and be really picky,

526
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,000
knowing what the Ferengi's are like, they're not going to just put down a piece of medical equipment

527
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
and leave it on the floor to be forgotten.

528
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,000
They're going to put that in their pocket and take it because it's worth something.

529
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Everything they have is profit.

530
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,000
But finally, the translator starts working.

531
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:46,000
They get a little machine out and as he's talking, they then partially start talking English

532
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,000
and then they start, and that was a nice touch.

533
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:56,000
They beat him around a bit, really bright blood in his mouth, really bright red fake blood in his mouth.

534
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Almost, I wish they hadn't done it because it looked so hand up with the red.

535
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,000
He was like, okay, yeah, just give him a bit of a bruise.

536
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,000
And then they start talking about the slave market and vaults.

537
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000
And they never really explained the vaults to him.

538
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:14,000
He just makes the thing like, I'm getting an idea of who you are.

539
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Yeah, we have a vault and he's a real good manipulator.

540
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Yes.

541
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,000
He's very good.

542
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,000
All of them are.

543
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Trip and T'Pol later.

544
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,000
They're all very good at playing the Ferengi in their own game.

545
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:32,000
What I feel like they did with Archer, they basically said in the original series, Kirk did a lot of waffling.

546
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,000
He would talk his way out of everything.

547
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:41,000
And that's how the majority of the original series got through whatever problem it was.

548
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:48,000
And they kind of, I feel like they said to the script writers and to Scott Bakula, who's Archer, you've got to do the same.

549
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000
It's going to be a trait that we've give Captain.

550
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:58,000
To be fair, we see it with Picard, we definitely see it with Janeway, seeing as she persuades the vault not to kill anyone.

551
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:05,000
So yeah, it's a trait that's been carried on through all the seasons that they have the gift of the gab.

552
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Yeah, I think that's a good trait to have as the captain, I guess.

553
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Oh, definitely.

554
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,000
He's got to defuse all the situations, doesn't he?

555
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Yeah, so Translate is working.

556
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Okay, so there is the Ferengi go on about the rules of acquisition.

557
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Yes.

558
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,000
How many are there?

559
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,000
149?

560
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Oh, 173.

561
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Oh, damn it.

562
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Wasn't far off.

563
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,000
Did they say 149 is one of the ones he quotes?

564
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Maybe.

565
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000
I've only got two of them written down.

566
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,000
One can never have too much.

567
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,000
The rules of acquisition say expand or die.

568
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Rules of acquisition?

569
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,000
That's rule number 45.

570
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,000
I've memorized all 173, including the most important one.

571
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:53,000
A man is only worth the sum of his possessions.

572
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Well, I could find them online and we could be really geeky and go through all of them.

573
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,000
I have got some of them written down.

574
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:05,000
So yeah, so he's now probably manipulating the dumb one.

575
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,000
They're making the captain drag all the stuff around.

576
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,000
Well, I don't think it's fair to say he's the dumb one.

577
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,000
I think it's fair to say he's the...

578
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,000
I think he'd come across as dumb.

579
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,000
I think that's how they were playing it.

580
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,000
He came behind as kind of wet behind the ears.

581
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:26,000
He hadn't been allowed to do anything a Ferengi normally does to this point.

582
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,000
So it's like he's learning the ropes.

583
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
It's like having an apprentice on a building site.

584
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Ask him to put a door up and you go and open the door and you find out he's put it on backwards.

585
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Yeah.

586
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
I just got the impression that he was a bit simple in some way.

587
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,000
That was the way I thought he was playing it.

588
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Because he was so easily manipulated.

589
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Yeah.

590
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,000
And I would say that might actually be a trait of the Ferengi.

591
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,000
And I don't think that's a fault in the episode.

592
00:44:53,000 --> 00:45:00,000
I think that's more that the Ferengi have always been fairly easy to talk around.

593
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Because the idea is they're greedy.

594
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,000
So if you could say something to a Ferengi that makes them prick their ears up and go,

595
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,000
what do you mean there's profit involved?

596
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,000
They will stop what they're doing and they will literally stop torturing someone

597
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,000
to talk to you to find out what you're talking about.

598
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,000
So I think we get the idea that they're willing just to stop

599
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,000
if they've got the idea that something profitable is involved.

600
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Yeah, I guess so.

601
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,000
I mean, he's now managed to manipulate the guy to go and get him a drink of water

602
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
and some food from the mess hall, hasn't he?

603
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,000
And Tripp has made himself known.

604
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Yes. And we get that very cool electric whip.

605
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,000
Is that not yet?

606
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Oh, no, sorry. Tripp's making himself known to Archer.

607
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Yes, you're right. Sorry.

608
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Because then he goes on about the 14 weapons lockers and he's like,

609
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,000
well, I've checked them all.

610
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,000
And he's like, I think Archer's right.

611
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,000
How did they get them all so quickly?

612
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
How did they know where they were?

613
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:57,000
But I think the idea is the Ferengi know what they're looking for.

614
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:03,000
They're like the people that go to a car boot sale specifically looking for one item.

615
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,000
And if you've ever queued up at a car boot sale, you'll know them.

616
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,000
You'll see them. They'll have a bag in each hand.

617
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000
And it won't be just like, oh, I'm going to have a nice little walk around.

618
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,000
They power walk and they know exactly what they're looking for.

619
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,000
And you can just see them like left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right.

620
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,000
And then suddenly they'll just stop.

621
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Boom. Money comes out, item in the bag and they're gone straight away.

622
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
And that's exactly what the Ferengi are like.

623
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,000
They are taking over your ship.

624
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,000
They're looking for very specific things to start with.

625
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,000
And then if they've got time, they then go back and look at what else there is.

626
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:39,000
So obviously weapons are a saleable thing, which makes sense.

627
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,000
It is now, isn't it?

628
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,000
So it makes sense that weapons are medical stuff as well, I guess,

629
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:48,000
is also a sensible thing for them to steal to start with,

630
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000
which is why we get them in the medical bay to start with.

631
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,000
And then anything after that is a bonus, I guess.

632
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:59,000
But we get a lot of moments now where I just keep thinking, why didn't he just attack him?

633
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Why doesn't he just grab him?

634
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Like when they're on the Ferengi ship and he literally walks straight past Archer really close,

635
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,000
Archer could very easily have grabbed him.

636
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Or Tripp could easily just jump out of nowhere.

637
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,000
And there's two against one.

638
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:21,000
I would say, yeah, that's one of the biggest faults with this episode is there's only four Ferengi

639
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,000
and quite often they are spread apart.

640
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Yeah.

641
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:30,000
So yeah, idiot one could have easily been taken out and those three wouldn't know at all.

642
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,000
They would basically be, well, where is he?

643
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Oh, he's probably sleeping it off somewhere.

644
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,000
He's going and stealing something.

645
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,000
And they wouldn't know where he is.

646
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,000
And they'd probably just then carry on doing what they were doing.

647
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:46,000
So him being knocked out wouldn't have been a problem.

648
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,000
And then as we see later on, they kind of start getting grumpy with each other.

649
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,000
One of them goes off on his own again, whack on the head.

650
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Another one gone. They wouldn't know where he is.

651
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,000
And then, yeah, you're right.

652
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Two versus one or two versus two at that point because Archer could be released.

653
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,000
Yeah.

654
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:07,000
It feels that I would say if that was the only down point to this episode, it's not that bad.

655
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Yeah, exactly.

656
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:15,000
We've got a load more scenes of Tripp running around his pants still.

657
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:20,000
He's not made any efforts to get some clothes on yet, which I've really enjoyed.

658
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Yeah, this is where he grabs the hyperspray.

659
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,000
I don't know where he's grabbing it from. He's just grabbing it.

660
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:28,000
So he's grabbing that from the cargo bay where the majority of people seem to have been dragged to.

661
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Yeah. And then he goes and use it on to pull straight away.

662
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
Which is the sensible choice.

663
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,000
I would choose her too. Yeah.

664
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:42,000
So, yeah, I'm glad you would say that you've got a little crush on...

665
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Her name is very difficult to say.

666
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,000
Yeah, I'm just looking up here. Jolene Blalock.

667
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Blalock, yeah. I mean, to be fair, she's a model as well.

668
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Yes.

669
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000
She's 49, so she's not even that far away from us in age.

670
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:02,000
No, that's true, but she does play the role really well.

671
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:08,000
From day one of Enterprise, she is brilliant and she truly carries the whole...

672
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,000
She got the memo, definitely.

673
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:15,000
She definitely got the whole Vulcan idea down. I appreciate it as well.

674
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Does the pole end up getting with Tripp?

675
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,000
I honestly don't know.

676
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,000
It's getting with... 16.

677
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,000
They actually start like...

678
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,000
They go behind the bike sheds and get a finger.

679
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Do they go to where the dolphins are? Do they go to the dolphin room?

680
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,000
I don't think this Enterprise is dolphins yet.

681
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Oh, no, this would be in A, right?

682
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000
No, this is before A. A is Kurt's area.

683
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
This is not the aardvark room.

684
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,000
Or the armadillo room. Yeah, the armadillo room.

685
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000
I like armadillos!

686
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,000
Smooth on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Armadillos!

687
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Quick, deploy the armadillos!

688
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,000
Ptoo, ptoo!

689
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:56,000
So he wakes her up and tries to put it on the other lady and doesn't work.

690
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,000
I've got a note here. I don't know why. It says,

691
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Bioscanner. Sure, mate. Sure it is.

692
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,000
I'm sure I wrote Bioscanner. I don't know what that note is referencing.

693
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:12,000
No, I'm not. I know the Ferengi have a scanner at one point that they're scanning things with.

694
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Maybe that's what he's doing. He's scanning her.

695
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
And then he touches her up.

696
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Yes, very possibly.

697
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,000
He touches her up this time.

698
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,000
And the...

699
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Yeah, I've just wrote gross.

700
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,000
It was really... The guy's playing it very well.

701
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,000
He's super creepy. It's really bad.

702
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:36,000
And I thought she was going to wake up and death grip him there and then.

703
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,000
That's what I was expecting to happen.

704
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,000
And I wrote here she could easily batter that freak.

705
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Exactly. She could do the Vulcan nerve pinch on him, which she does later.

706
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,000
And then Archer Call says something. I wrote it down later.

707
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:56,000
He says she's... Oh, yeah. She's got no sense of humour and always complaining.

708
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:02,000
That's what he says specifically about to Paul, to try and get him to not take her to his ship.

709
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Which was quite funny.

710
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Yeah, here you go. I've got the thing here.

711
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,000
Crem. This female is different from the others. What species is she?

712
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Archer. She's a Vulcan. Crem. Vulcan.

713
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Jonathan Archer. They're really not all that interesting once you get to know them.

714
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,000
I'd like to get to know this one. Maybe I won't sell her.

715
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Not right away. Trust me. She's got no sense of humour.

716
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,000
She's always complaining.

717
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Yeah. It was a good... I thought that was quite funny.

718
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,000
But again, first part of the season, yes, she is always complaining.

719
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Second part of the season, she starts to soften up.

720
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,000
She starts to do a bit of a spock.

721
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Well, this is only season one and she makes a joke later.

722
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:48,000
She does play a joke on Archer, which he doesn't not like, which I thought was good too.

723
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,000
Oh, there you go. Not that interesting. No sense of humour.

724
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Always complaining. I'll make it up to you. To Paul. How? Archer. Five bars of gold?

725
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:02,000
Yeah. But then later he tells her off just to get her in Muntide, doesn't he?

726
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,000
Yep. And in fact, this is the bit actually you're talking about where she's just been

727
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,000
felt up and Tripp comes to check if she's okay afterwards.

728
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,000
There are times I wish Vulcans hadn't learned to repress their violent tendencies.

729
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Yeah, she says it. Yeah. And she's right. Yeah. She was clearly...

730
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Well, she's full Vulcan though, isn't she? She is full Vulcan.

731
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Because I think Spock would have reacted.

732
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Strange New World Spock would have reacted.

733
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Strange New World Spock absolutely would have.

734
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Yeah. So we're now... Yeah, Boo, he's putting his clothes on.

735
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,000
So he's now being convinced probably by to Paul to put some clothes on.

736
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:42,000
What do you think of the Enterprise uniform?

737
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,000
It's a giant onesie, isn't it, for men?

738
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,000
But all of them are, if you think about it.

739
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:52,000
I don't dislike it. I think it makes sense. It looks like they're wearing overalls.

740
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Well, that's it, isn't it? They are overalls. They're flight suits.

741
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,000
Yeah, I like them.

742
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:03,000
That you could expect kind of a helicopter pilot or a jet pilot to be wearing something similar.

743
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,000
Yeah.

744
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Well, that's what they're based on, really.

745
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,000
If you look here, that's an old medical style suit.

746
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Yeah.

747
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,000
It's basically... You're right. It's a onesie with lots of pockets.

748
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Yeah.

749
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Again, just another thing I liked of Enterprise, really.

750
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:25,000
I liked the design. It wasn't over the top.

751
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:29,000
It just fit in with the ship, just like all the uniforms have.

752
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Each series, the uniform has fit in with what you really expect of it.

753
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Yeah.

754
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:39,000
So, just another little thing they did a good job on.

755
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:46,000
Yeah. So, to Poland, Tripp, they've now left engineering and are kind of deciding, I think, to each other what they're going to do.

756
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Yes.

757
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
To each other. Ho, ho, ho.

758
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,000
We're back in the medical bay because they managed to convince them that...

759
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,000
The archer managed to convince them the vault's in the medical bay.

760
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Oh, yes. I do like that.

761
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,000
And they're trying to open the door.

762
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Now, they say I've written down the rule that they say in there.

763
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Oh, okay.

764
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,000
Rule 23. Do you remember what they say?

765
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,000
No. No, not a clue.

766
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Nothing is more important than your health except your money. Rule 23.

767
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:20,000
So, I was just seeing there. So, apparently, by Voyager, there's 285 rules of acquisition.

768
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Oh, so they've put it up.

769
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,000
But the idea is it is meant to have grown over time.

770
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,000
So, it's 23, correct? Nothing's more important than your health except your money.

771
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:33,000
We're just looking up and it's showing the source of those as well.

772
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:38,000
So, you can see. Rule 23 only appeared in enterprise acquisition.

773
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Nothing is more important than your health except your money.

774
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Back on my home world, that kind of thinking almost destroyed our civilization.

775
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,000
You should have managed your businesses better.

776
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,000
Where are we now? Yes, they're looking for that vault.

777
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,000
She's hiding and she starts setting noises off and that's when he shoots.

778
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,000
That's when he shoots the console.

779
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,000
But then she's basically playing a joke on them.

780
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:05,000
So, she goes over and steals the scanners out of his bag and puts them in the other friend's bags.

781
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,000
And then keeps one for herself.

782
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,000
That triggers up the whole pack rat mentality of, hang on a moment.

783
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,000
I said these were mine. Why are they now in your bag?

784
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,000
You've stolen from me. We had a contract.

785
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:25,000
So, you get the idea that the friendgy don't even like each other and can't be fair with each other unless a contract's involved.

786
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:33,000
So, they're having a big argument and that's when the friendgy in red really starts to move away from the rest of them.

787
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,000
Showing the arguments.

788
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,000
And then we're back in the engineering again.

789
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Yes.

790
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,000
And we get another rule in here.

791
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,000
We do.

792
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:49,000
I don't remember the number but it is never allow family to stand in the way of profit.

793
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,000
A very funny bit happens now.

794
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,000
They're talking to the dog.

795
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
They're trying to ask the dog where the vault is.

796
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,000
It's a subspecies. It's not intelligent enough for the translator to work.

797
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,000
We laughed at that. That was a really funny touch.

798
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,000
Because, yeah, they don't know what a dog is.

799
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Where is the vault?

800
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Do you understand me?

801
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
I can't lock onto its language.

802
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,000
It's a lower life form, you fool.

803
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,000
Probably the captain's next meal.

804
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,000
Don't be so sure. Look at the size of its ears.

805
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,000
I like the fact the dog's on board.

806
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,000
I've always liked the dog.

807
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:38,000
There's a constant joke going on because Archer keeps feeding him cheese and he ends up always off in flocks and flocks saying you've got to stop feeding him things he likes.

808
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Yeah.

809
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Where does his poo go?

810
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:48,000
He's probably got some bosen that comes and cleans it up for him.

811
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,000
Yeah, I guess so.

812
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Hello, Captain Archer. I'm here to take the dog for a walk.

813
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Yeah, some poor Lower Decks crew is just going around clearing up dog crap.

814
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Early Lower Decks.

815
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Yeah.

816
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,000
That could be the start of Lower Decks.

817
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,000
The first Lower Decks staff member was Ensign.

818
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:15,000
I want to actually want to know who or what he did because if you look here in the list of actors, uncredited, Solomon Burke Jr. was Ensign Billy.

819
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Yeah.

820
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:20,000
I think he's just one of the guys that's laying on the ground.

821
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,000
Yeah, I think Ensign Billy is the first Lower Decker.

822
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:27,000
He is the first one that basically was assigned to Archer's dog.

823
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Yeah, he's the poop scoop.

824
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:37,000
And then something really sad happens because they pick the dog up and the dog's tail is underneath him, which means the dog's scared or doesn't like it, which I didn't like that little bit of scene.

825
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,000
But has he been trained to do that?

826
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Maybe he was trained to do that.

827
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:55,000
I would like to think he was trained to do that because I would say Paramount's got quite a good, and I will stand to be corrected if they haven't, but I thought Paramount had quite a good record with, or at least Star Trek did, with animal safety.

828
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,000
The guy isn't being mean to the dog.

829
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:02,000
It's just the body language of the dog implied it wasn't enjoying it.

830
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,000
And then they put the dog in the box.

831
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:11,000
I was like no! And the whole episode was like the dog's still in the box.

832
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:16,000
And at the end when they're getting things out, they're like they haven't got the dog out of the box yet.

833
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,000
Can you tell Rob's a dog lover, everyone?

834
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:24,000
Yeah, I thought that was horrible, but again, it's what you'd expect.

835
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,000
They basically, they're just subspecies. No one really cares about him.

836
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,000
It's an animal, so put it in the box.

837
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:31,000
Or sell it on another planet.

838
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:39,000
I could completely see myself on an alien planet picking up a random animal, putting it in a box and not really realising it might be the most loved pet of some god.

839
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000
Not knowing it's a moopsy.

840
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,000
Yeah, oh god, imagine.

841
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Moopsy!

842
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:50,000
And I was convinced now that Trip got spotted on purpose because he starts running away.

843
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Yeah, it feels like he's kind of run onto there to say, Kui, look at me, look at me.

844
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:58,000
To take away from the idea that T'Pol's also up and no longer there.

845
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:03,000
Well, I thought he was running him into a trap to get to T'Pol. He doesn't, but I thought that's what was happening.

846
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,000
Oh, maybe.

847
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:10,000
I thought they'd set a trap and get him to follow, but really he just goes into the mess hall, pretends he's asleep and then attacks the guys he goes past.

848
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,000
And it's a shit fight.

849
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:15,000
And I only think it's a shit fight, but I think because they don't want to mess up the dude's make-up.

850
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Yes.

851
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,000
I think that's the instantly impression I got, particularly when they're on the floor.

852
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:33,000
I'd be interested to know how fragile the Ferengi make-up is, as in if you weren't paying attention and you caught your head on the corner of a wall, let's say, are you going to spend the rest of the day with the dents in your head?

853
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,000
Or are you going to have to go back into six hours with a make-up?

854
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Do you think they've got a dent puller on hand? Hang on a suction cup on.

855
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,000
A good touch. He bit his ear.

856
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:47,000
So he already has a...either it's because it was just there or he's already noticed that they like their ears.

857
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:53,000
And imagine that really probably hurt that Ferengi and you get that impression, don't you, that that actually really did hurt him.

858
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,000
He did a full on Mike Tyson.

859
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,000
And then the whip comes out.

860
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
The electric whip is brilliant.

861
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,000
Wicked.

862
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:06,000
I think we see it in a couple of other areas because it's meant to be kind of one of the weapons of choice of the Ferengi is this electric whip.

863
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Yeah. I think that fits with them quite well.

864
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,000
It fits with the fact that they do slave labour and slave trading, doesn't it?

865
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:39,000
When you kind of speak about slavery, the conversations of Earth and our history and the whole slave labour from Egyptians through to Africa to America and all of those sorts and everything in between and plus, you picture slave owners with whips, don't you?

866
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,000
So you kind of get the idea that that's where they got this idea from for the Ferengi.

867
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,000
So we've got IMDB up in front of us.

868
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:55,000
This is the moment I properly realised that the one called Muk who's in red is that guy there, Clint Howard, who is the guy from Austin Powers.

869
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,000
Yes.

870
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Yeah. Who sees the penis ship on the Dr. Eva's penis ship on the thing.

871
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,000
Colonel, you better take a look at this radar.

872
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,000
What is it, son?

873
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,000
I don't know, sir, but it looks like a giant dick.

874
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Yeah.

875
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,000
Take a look at a starboard.

876
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,000
Oh my God, it looks like a huge.

877
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:17,000
Pecker!

878
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,000
Oh, wow.

879
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Wait, that's not a woodpecker. It looks like someone's...

880
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,000
PIVOTS!

881
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,000
We have reports of an unidentified flying object.

882
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,000
It is a long, smooth shaft, complete with...

883
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,000
Two balls!

884
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,000
What is that?

885
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:33,000
That looks just like an enormous...

886
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Wing!

887
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Pay attention.

888
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,000
I was distracted by that enormous flying...

889
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,000
Willy.

890
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,000
Yeah.

891
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,000
Wow, it looks like a giant...

892
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,000
Johnson!

893
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,000
Yes, sir.

894
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,000
Get on the horn to British intelligence and let them know about this.

895
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,000
That's what I prefer because I think the whole episode I was like, I recognise him.

896
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,000
I recognise him. He's got such a recognisable face.

897
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,000
That's a bad picture of him on IMDB.

898
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,000
It is a very bad picture of him.

899
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,000
And you're right, Jeffrey Coombs, sorry, who played Krem, he was...

900
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,000
He played several Starfleet officers.

901
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:09,000
He was also one of the Nagus's right-hand men in Deep Space Nine on that episode.

902
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:12,000
So he has played a Ferengi before as well.

903
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,000
And we haven't even said...

904
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Ethan Phillips, have we?

905
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,000
The main Ferengi of the day, Ulysses...

906
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,000
Yeah.

907
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:21,000
...is Neelix.

908
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,000
Neelix.

909
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,000
Good to meet you.

910
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,000
I didn't recognise him.

911
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,000
Didn't you?

912
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,000
I didn't recognise him, I don't think I did.

913
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,000
I knew he was in it...

914
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:34,000
Yeah.

915
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,000
...when I saw the credits because I didn't notice it at the beginning.

916
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:44,000
I recognised him straight away and his voice is pretty easy to pick up on.

917
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:50,000
What's difficult is obviously they all quite struggle to talk with the sharpened teeth in their mouth,

918
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,000
so the dentures that they're made to wear,

919
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,000
but that does help kind of make their speech sound a bit more as you'd expect it to.

920
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:04,000
What I didn't realise, and this was using IMDB, is he's played Ferengi's twice before,

921
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:09,000
one of which is there's an episode in TNG where good old Bevy Crusher

922
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:17,000
invites a Ferengi on board the Enterprise with scientists from the Klingons and the Vulcans and Earth

923
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,000
to witness a Ferengi who says,

924
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:24,000
I've created a warp bubble which means I could fly a ship into the corona of the sun

925
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,000
and back out again without getting damaged.

926
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:31,000
And they all poo poo it and he decides I'm going to prove it,

927
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,000
and he does it and he dies and it turns out it's because there's another alien on board

928
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:40,000
who wants to steal the technology and doesn't want it associated with the Ferengi and no one else to have it.

929
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,000
That was Ethan Phillips as well. I didn't know that.

930
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,000
I didn't recognise him then, but I did recognise him now.

931
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Now I wonder if it's a similar thing as the, I always forget his name, the Teleporter Man.

932
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,000
Oh, um, O'Brien.

933
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,000
O'Brien. I heard that he ended up getting a much bigger part.

934
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:06,000
He was only meant to be a very small part, but he was such a nice guy, well liked by all the crew

935
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:11,000
and all the other that they kept writing him in to get him back on.

936
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Interesting.

937
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:13,000
And I wonder if that's the same for Ethan Phillips.

938
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:18,000
Maybe the makeup guys, maybe they said he's really good at putting the makeup on.

939
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,000
He just sits there and let us does it.

940
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,000
Get him back for the Ferengi costume again.

941
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,000
And if he's been in so many and then he gets, yeah, that's it, Carl Menier.

942
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:31,000
Yeah, Carl Menier, who's just been in so much, 173 episodes of Deep Space Knight.

943
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:35,000
He was in Undersea, he's in Con Air, he plays the asshole FBI bloke.

944
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:36,000
You know this guy?

945
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,000
Haven't had the pleasure.

946
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,000
He's a piece of work, a real piece of work.

947
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:44,000
Duncan, good to see you. She sure is beautiful.

948
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:48,000
Hey, beautiful. Sunsets are beautiful. Newborn babies are beautiful.

949
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,000
This, this is fucking spectacular.

950
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,000
Duncan, this is Vince Larkin. He's overseeing the Transpo.

951
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,000
Vince, Duncan Malloy, DEA.

952
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Nice to meet you.

953
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,000
I'm sure we're going to have a good time working on this together.

954
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,000
They've now got Trip and Archer in the same room in engineering.

955
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,000
Yes, it's a post-doe free.

956
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:13,000
What we did miss, Trip's already gone and put that funky flashing light metal thing on a door.

957
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,000
Which I thought, I didn't know what that was at first.

958
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,000
Later on, I think it's an air lock.

959
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,000
I think, yeah, it's a locking device to lock a door, basically.

960
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:26,000
Yeah. Like I thought he was like later on when he's going to open it later on.

961
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:31,000
I thought he was opening a door to an air lock to shoot them into space because that's what I would have done.

962
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:32,000
Yeah.

963
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,000
But I never understood what that device was. It's just a pretend device.

964
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:39,000
You wouldn't understand unless you've watched earlier episodes.

965
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:46,000
So there is the whole first season that has a bit of a time travel series bit to it going on.

966
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:50,000
So you're right in saying that a lot of the episodes you can just watch outright.

967
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,000
There is an ongoing story.

968
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Like Voyager does.

969
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:54,000
Yeah.

970
01:05:54,000 --> 01:06:03,000
And at one point, a person from the future appears on Enterprise and becomes a crewman for a while.

971
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:04,000
Traveler?

972
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,000
No, it's not, sadly.

973
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,000
But ends up being a crew on the ship.

974
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:12,000
And basically what happens is no one is allowed in his room because we don't know what's in there.

975
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:16,000
We know there's stuff potentially from the future that we're not allowed to know.

976
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:21,000
So therefore to stop destroying the future, they just put a giant lock on his door.

977
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,000
And that's that same thing basically.

978
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:27,000
So you kind of get the idea. It's a deadlock for a door.

979
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:33,000
Yeah. So they've got the trip and Archer in the engineering.

980
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:37,000
And I didn't notice them do any face to each other, but they just start arguing.

981
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,000
Yes.

982
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:42,000
Don't they? And it's like you instantly know that they're doing it on purpose.

983
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,000
But this goes hand in hand with what you're saying.

984
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,000
I think you're right. He gets caught on purpose.

985
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:57,000
Because he wants to now go down and kind of go with this whole, I hope Archer knows what I'm going to do, but follow the lead.

986
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:01,000
And again, they're both very good manipulators.

987
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:11,000
And it still it portrays the Ferengi as not being particularly clever in the social aspect of what these two humans are trying to do to them.

988
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,000
Which to you and I is obvious.

989
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,000
It's obvious to us, but it wouldn't be obvious to them.

990
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,000
They've written it well, the Ferengi are greedy.

991
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:25,000
They've never met humans. They don't know are we a greedy race? Are we not a greedy race?

992
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:30,000
But what they now know is that Archer said, I'll give you half if you let me keep half.

993
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:33,000
So, oh, maybe humans are greedy.

994
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:39,000
And then Tripp suddenly arguing for the women and saying you can have all the gold as long as you leave the women with me.

995
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:43,000
And Tripp goes, what do we make of this? I don't know what to do.

996
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:47,000
And then they're arguing and they're like, you get that kind of uncomfortable.

997
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:54,000
They are arguing. So I'm going to take a little step back and I don't know what to do here, which is what you get the feeling of.

998
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Yeah. And then Muck tries to stand up for himself. Doesn't he?

999
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,000
And they laugh at him.

1000
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:06,000
And fails miserably. Tripp basically wins the argument and takes the three main Ferengi off on a wild goose chase.

1001
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:10,000
And he just starts walking around every single corridor, which is brilliant.

1002
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:17,000
And then meanwhile, to Paul is being sexy.

1003
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Oh, we get sexy to Paul.

1004
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:24,000
Yeah, that's it. She's like, why have you have you come to rescue me?

1005
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:28,000
Yeah, she's probably having it up to him. Yeah. Making him more horny.

1006
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,000
That's what's so great. That's what someone thinks so grace about him.

1007
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:38,000
I think art just says something about him being able to keep to Paul. He literally shudders in ecstasy at one point.

1008
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:45,000
And I was like, oh, it's just gross. It was gross. He played it so well. It made me feel really uncomfortable.

1009
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:46,000
Obviously, that's the point.

1010
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:51,000
As I said, it's got major ick factor to it. It's just gross.

1011
01:08:51,000 --> 01:09:00,000
And so he calls it, she says that he calls it something and she says, I'm versed in all the arts of pleasure.

1012
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:05,000
Yes. And it's like his lobes, stroke my lobes.

1013
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:12,000
So we laughed at that as well. We found that hysterical when he's like, stroke my lobes.

1014
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:20,000
So grace. Yeah. All while that. Oh, then then she death grips him finally.

1015
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:25,000
Yeah, she finally nerve pinches him and sends him into the land of sleep.

1016
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:34,000
Have you come to rescue me? How did you wake up?

1017
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:41,000
Whatever. But the others to sleep didn't affect me in the same way. My body works differently than the humans.

1018
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Who, mom? That's the name of their species. They're a terrible race. Deceitful. Cruel.

1019
01:09:52,000 --> 01:10:00,000
Why do you live with them? It wasn't my choice. I'm a captive here. They've enslaved me.

1020
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:13,000
Please take me with you. You would make a handsome wife.

1021
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:26,000
Do you know how to perform? I'm well trained in the arts of pleasure.

1022
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:33,000
But I'm not familiar with the marks. My lobes. Stroke.

1023
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:50,000
My lobes. Like this? Yes. And this? Oh, yes.

1024
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:55,000
And now we're back to going around the corridors and then we have the magic door. Yeah.

1025
01:10:55,000 --> 01:11:03,000
Open it up and there's the pole. I don't think she needed to be in there. I wasn't expecting this to lock them in.

1026
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,000
I thought it was an airlock. I was expecting to open the airlock, close it and then just walk through them.

1027
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,000
That's exactly what I would have done and what I thought was going to happen.

1028
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:15,000
Too dark. Too, too dark for Star Trek. Discovery would've done that.

1029
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:21,000
But Enterprise, this is still meant to be semi-kid friendly and adult friendly at the same time.

1030
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:26,120
But I would have seen it as locked it and then flood it with what's TNG always.

1031
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,920
Oh, we're going to flood it with the anesthetize gas and knock them out.

1032
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:30,920
But yeah, totally.

1033
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:32,560
He's like got them pew pew.

1034
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:33,560
They're all dead.

1035
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,440
She's just hiding behind the door.

1036
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:37,840
Classic move.

1037
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,040
Classic Vulcan move hiding behind a door.

1038
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:41,560
And then he has a great one liner.

1039
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,120
I rate the one liner.

1040
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:44,280
I've got them right.

1041
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:45,280
What was it?

1042
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,080
Sorry fellas, bank must be closed today.

1043
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:52,880
Oh God, yeah, that's such a terrible line, but it worked perfectly.

1044
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,600
It was proper like diehard.

1045
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,240
Oh, actually we missed that one as well.

1046
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,640
Just because a guy's in his underwear, you think the worst.

1047
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:00,640
Oh yeah.

1048
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:01,640
That was really good.

1049
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:03,640
That's what he said when he was getting changed.

1050
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:04,640
Yeah.

1051
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,440
And now we just kind of get the end.

1052
01:12:07,440 --> 01:12:16,040
We get the great scene of T'Pol going to let Archer free and she questions him on having

1053
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,960
no sense of humour and always complaining.

1054
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,800
And he says what you said back.

1055
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,800
And then he does actually get a bit annoyed with her.

1056
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:24,800
Yes.

1057
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:25,800
So it's just undo me, whatever.

1058
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:28,320
And then he names her rank or whatever, doesn't he?

1059
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:31,960
Yeah, he actually puts his foot down over it.

1060
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:34,840
And this is where the whole time I'm like, where's the dog?

1061
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:35,840
Get the dog out.

1062
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:36,840
Get the dog out.

1063
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:38,440
Because they're doing everything but get the dog out.

1064
01:12:38,440 --> 01:12:40,040
And eventually they do get the dog out.

1065
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,880
Yeah, so all the crew are now awake.

1066
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:45,240
What I don't get, okay.

1067
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:46,960
And this is across the whole episode.

1068
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:47,960
Yeah.

1069
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:53,120
T'Pol kind of comes across the idea that, or it comes across to me anyway, that T'Pol

1070
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,880
doesn't know who or what the Ferengi are.

1071
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:57,880
Is that what you kind of got the idea?

1072
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,760
That's the impression I got and I feel like she would know.

1073
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:02,560
You feel like she should know.

1074
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:03,560
Okay.

1075
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:07,120
The Ferengi ask what race is she?

1076
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,400
They do, don't they?

1077
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:14,480
So Archer says she's a Vulcan.

1078
01:13:14,480 --> 01:13:21,360
Why is Archer's threat then, if you come near any of our ships again, we will tell the Vulcans

1079
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,440
what you've done.

1080
01:13:24,440 --> 01:13:27,640
That means what to them if they haven't come across the Vulcans themselves?

1081
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,080
Yeah, I guess.

1082
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:30,080
Yeah.

1083
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:35,720
T'Pol is meant to be on the Enterprise because she knows as much about the Vulcan space program

1084
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,120
that you can do and she's meant to be guiding them.

1085
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:43,120
So if the Vulcan space program know about Ferengis, T'Pol should be saying to them,

1086
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:44,120
these are Ferengis.

1087
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:45,440
We know about them.

1088
01:13:45,440 --> 01:13:46,440
She doesn't.

1089
01:13:46,440 --> 01:13:50,200
So this whole threat Archer gives them at the very end, we will tell the Vulcan and

1090
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,680
it will be a bad day for you.

1091
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:53,680
Such an empty threat.

1092
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:54,680
Yeah, it's an odd one.

1093
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:55,680
Yeah, I didn't really pick on that.

1094
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:56,680
Pick up that you're saying it.

1095
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:57,680
Yeah, that's a little bit of a mistake.

1096
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:58,680
It's a really empty threat.

1097
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:06,560
But again, it doesn't really matter too much because again, they get the idea that actually,

1098
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:08,360
look, T'Pol's a pretty hard ass bitch.

1099
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:13,440
She's just shot three of us and she nerve pinched one of us to her unconsciousness.

1100
01:14:13,440 --> 01:14:15,440
The Vulcans aren't good news.

1101
01:14:15,440 --> 01:14:21,480
So you can kind of accept it that way and just say their first meeting of a Vulcan didn't

1102
01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:22,480
end well.

1103
01:14:22,480 --> 01:14:25,920
So maybe if the rest of them know about us, it's not going to end well.

1104
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:30,280
I did like them making the Vulcans put it, they're making the Ferengi put it back themselves.

1105
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:31,280
Yes.

1106
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:32,280
Yeah, they're making them.

1107
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,840
Actually forcing them to put everything back was a good touch.

1108
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:37,960
And then giving Krem the ship.

1109
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:39,840
Yeah, I like that too.

1110
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:43,840
I was surprised they were releasing them at all.

1111
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,480
Maybe they're just like, well, we haven't really got a brig to hold these four alien

1112
01:14:46,480 --> 01:14:47,480
race that we don't know.

1113
01:14:47,480 --> 01:14:48,480
Well, that's it.

1114
01:14:48,480 --> 01:14:49,480
We don't know if there's a brig on it.

1115
01:14:49,480 --> 01:14:50,480
I don't know.

1116
01:14:50,480 --> 01:14:51,880
I don't know if there's a brig on the Enterprise at this point.

1117
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:55,960
I'm sure there probably is because what happens if you court marshal someone, but then again,

1118
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:59,440
you might just lock them in the room with a special locking doodah.

1119
01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:01,080
I don't know.

1120
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:07,320
But if that had been TNG or even potentially TOS, that would have been into the brig and

1121
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:09,400
dropped off at the nearest star base.

1122
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:10,400
Yeah.

1123
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:11,760
And the authorities contacted.

1124
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:18,920
And obviously, yeah, then you'd speak to ambassadors and say, well, we've got four of your race

1125
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:19,920
in our brig.

1126
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:21,920
What do you want us to do with them sort of thing?

1127
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:26,400
But that's because star bases and all those contacts exist.

1128
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,800
I kind of get why they don't in this because why would you?

1129
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:30,800
Yeah.

1130
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,040
You don't have contact with their race.

1131
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:33,080
You don't know who's in charge.

1132
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:38,560
You don't know if their entire race is basically no government at all and everyone's out for

1133
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:43,760
themselves, which to be fair, the Ferengi's come across like, or even if they are going

1134
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:45,120
to be punished if you contact them.

1135
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:50,320
So you might as well just send them on their way with the one they hate the most in charge

1136
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:51,320
as a punishment.

1137
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:54,520
It kind of, it does make sense.

1138
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:57,360
And he still tries it on with her again.

1139
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:58,360
Yes.

1140
01:15:58,360 --> 01:15:59,360
Come with me.

1141
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:00,840
I've got a ship now.

1142
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:01,840
Yeah.

1143
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:03,840
I'm sure the Vulcan would make a great wife or something.

1144
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:05,280
Doesn't he say something like that?

1145
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:08,280
Something along those lines.

1146
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,040
She just walks off though, doesn't she?

1147
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:13,200
I think she just literally just kind of gives them a funny look and walks off.

1148
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:14,200
Yeah.

1149
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:16,040
Raised eyebrow the way a Vulcan does.

1150
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,040
And they're great for audio.

1151
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:19,040
We're both doing it.

1152
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:20,800
We're both doing the eyebrow.

1153
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:24,000
It's a definitely a podcast thing.

1154
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:25,320
And that's it.

1155
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:28,120
The CG at the end there is actually a little bit better than the other bits.

1156
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:30,560
Especially when the ship flies off.

1157
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,840
I've liked it enough to make a note.

1158
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:33,840
Yeah.

1159
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:34,840
Fair enough.

1160
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:35,840
And that's the episode.

1161
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:36,840
And that is the episode.

1162
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:44,080
So, overall, comparing it to Rascals, which I have a million times better than Rascals.

1163
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:45,080
Oh my God.

1164
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:46,080
It pees all over Rascals.

1165
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:47,560
And in general, I liked the episode completely.

1166
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:48,560
I laughed.

1167
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:54,040
I enjoyed a lot of it.

1168
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:57,800
T'Pol's a very sexy Vulcan.

1169
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,080
Trip is a very sexy human man.

1170
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:04,000
I was happy with every aspect of it other than the poor dog being put in a box.

1171
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:05,000
Yeah.

1172
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,000
I agree on that.

1173
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,560
I would say it's interesting that...

1174
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:09,560
Not interesting.

1175
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,080
I'm glad they went with T'Pol with how they did.

1176
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,680
As they could have just gone straight away with another male Vulcan.

1177
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:16,680
Yeah.

1178
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:20,580
And just had it as, yeah, it's another man thing.

1179
01:17:20,580 --> 01:17:23,340
They didn't and it works really well.

1180
01:17:23,340 --> 01:17:28,760
And she played, like I said earlier in the episode, she plays the Vulcan perfectly.

1181
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:30,160
You get the idea.

1182
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:35,680
She's really invested in making the Vulcan in her stand out.

1183
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:36,680
Yeah.

1184
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:37,680
I liked it.

1185
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:38,680
Funny.

1186
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:39,680
I'm glad you did.

1187
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:44,560
And I'm glad you're going to give it a chance to watch because it really is pretty good.

1188
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:50,200
Well, we were watching it while you were streaming and we finished the episode as like,

1189
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:52,480
I'm going to go watch, you know, join to the streamers.

1190
01:17:52,480 --> 01:17:55,520
But then we just started watching this episode and we watched about 20 minutes of it.

1191
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:59,160
Well, the very next episode, the one called Oasis, the one that we accidentally started

1192
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:03,080
watching and then actually was enjoying, I instantly made the point that I've made to

1193
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:11,840
you on this podcast before, the captain, the main pilot of the ship to pole and trip, probably

1194
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:17,680
the four main members of the crew all go on the away mission.

1195
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:24,280
Now I understand it's a TV program, but when you were saying about, you know, how I keep

1196
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:28,000
saying how it's a military ship and then you're saying more like a cruise ship, it actually

1197
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:32,760
makes a bit of sense for the next gen that it is the bridge crew going because they're

1198
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:34,680
the only military personnel.

1199
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:35,680
Yes.

1200
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:41,440
So then going on those away missions actually makes sense to me if I put it in that context,

1201
01:18:41,440 --> 01:18:48,320
but I'm pretty sure there is a load of security team members on TNG because they're wharfs

1202
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:49,320
cronies.

1203
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:54,160
Well, they rarely ever let Picard go down on away missions because it's against the

1204
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:55,960
law basically, it's against the rules.

1205
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,800
He's the planking captain, he shouldn't be going on any of the missions.

1206
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:00,760
Enterprise, as I said, the prime directive doesn't exist.

1207
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:04,640
So all of these directives about captains not going anywhere don't really exist at this

1208
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:05,640
point.

1209
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:09,920
But it's just the argument doesn't work with Enterprise because I think on the Enterprise

1210
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:11,960
in this enterprise, everyone's military.

1211
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,520
I don't think you've got dolphins.

1212
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:15,520
I think you're right.

1213
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:20,040
So it's like, so those four people should not be on this away mission.

1214
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:21,040
Is my point.

1215
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:22,040
Fair enough.

1216
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:23,040
I'll just note this thing here.

1217
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:27,880
Series one, episode 25, the members of the Enterprise crew are faced with various misadventures

1218
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:32,800
and challenges while taking a two day break from their duties on the planet of Riza.

1219
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:37,000
So that's tied into TNG because they're always off to Rikers, always talking about Riza.

1220
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:38,560
Basically, it's a sex planet.

1221
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:39,880
Sex planet, of course it is.

1222
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:46,840
I mean, look at the picture there with her in just a strapped top shockwave is 8.4 out

1223
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:47,840
of 10.

1224
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:52,320
It's a two parter and it's a really good end of the season.

1225
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,880
Well, speaking of two parters.

1226
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:58,800
Mr. Authorization code.

1227
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:02,480
Mr. Court has requested us to watch two episodes.

1228
01:20:02,480 --> 01:20:03,480
Oh, okay.

1229
01:20:03,480 --> 01:20:06,040
Let me bring it up.

1230
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:07,800
Yeah, bring it up.

1231
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:13,840
So yeah, so Adam and Karen have been going through a lot of the Star Trek's.

1232
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:14,840
Excellent.

1233
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:15,840
Together.

1234
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:20,560
So where are we at?

1235
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,820
I'd like to pitch a two part crossover for you to watch.

1236
01:20:22,820 --> 01:20:27,440
The Next Generation season three, episode eight and Voyager season three, episode five.

1237
01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:28,440
Ooh, right.

1238
01:20:28,440 --> 01:20:30,200
Okay, so hang on a minute.

1239
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:33,200
Let's call up the next.

1240
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,040
So the price.

1241
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:40,240
While the Enterprise hosts negotiations for control of a stable wormhole, Troy forms a

1242
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:41,240
personal...

1243
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:42,240
Oh, of course she does.

1244
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:43,240
With an opposing negotiator.

1245
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:45,240
Oh, I know this episode.

1246
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:46,240
Yeah.

1247
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:47,240
Okay.

1248
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,200
She basically bangs someone who then drops her in it.

1249
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:55,080
And Voyager season three, episode five.

1250
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:57,200
And this is a crossover episode, did you say?

1251
01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:59,880
I haven't finished reading his thingy.

1252
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:00,880
Three episode five, yeah.

1253
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:05,200
Voyager comes across a pair of Alpha Quadrant Ferengis who have set themselves up as gods

1254
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:06,440
on a primitive planet.

1255
01:21:06,440 --> 01:21:10,040
Voyager wants to end their reign to use an Ivo wormhole to return.

1256
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:11,040
Ah.

1257
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:12,040
So they're right here.

1258
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:13,580
Karen and I watched them in the wrong order.

1259
01:21:13,580 --> 01:21:17,920
When we watched the TNG episode and Ferengi showed up, I asked, ooh, I wonder if this

1260
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:20,720
is how they got trapped in the Delta Quadrant.

1261
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:22,520
So it must be those Ferengi.

1262
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:23,520
That's interesting.

1263
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:24,520
And that must be the wormhole.

1264
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:25,520
Okay.

1265
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:26,520
And I'll look forward to watching that.

1266
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:28,080
So at some point we should watch those too.

1267
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,440
But the one I also want to watch is on season three, episode two.

1268
01:21:31,440 --> 01:21:32,440
Flashback.

1269
01:21:32,440 --> 01:21:36,320
Captain Janeway participates in a mind-boggled Tuvok who relives his experience on the USS

1270
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:40,800
Excelsior under the command of Captain Sulu at the time of Star Trek six, the undiscovered

1271
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:41,800
country.

1272
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:42,800
Oh, cool.

1273
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:43,800
Now I love the undiscovered country.

1274
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:47,840
It's a brilliant film and I love seeing Sulu at the helm.

1275
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:52,160
It's such a lovely thing to see because he's just perfect Captain material.

1276
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,640
Now Tuvok, did we say this before here?

1277
01:21:54,640 --> 01:22:00,480
He's turned up in all sorts of Star Trek.

1278
01:22:00,480 --> 01:22:11,000
So we have an idea of what we might want to watch next.

1279
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:15,680
Do we do what Adam and Karen asked for or do we stick with what we said, which was you

1280
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,600
were going to choose a episode of Discovery?

1281
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,840
Yeah, I haven't chosen episode of Discovery.

1282
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:23,520
So we can't do that.

1283
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:27,040
Because the thing about Discovery, it's difficult to pinpoint a particular episode unless you

1284
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:32,720
do see the most recent season because they are, it's a continuing series.

1285
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:36,040
They've proper done it like a continuing show.

1286
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,160
It's one whole episode or one whole show, isn't it?

1287
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:43,080
With no individual storyline.

1288
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:47,520
I want you to watch the last episode, but it will just spoil the whole thing for you

1289
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:48,520
to do it.

1290
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:51,280
Well, no, if you think that's the one to watch, then I'll watch it.

1291
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:56,480
Just don't forget, I've got no, not love, that's not fair to say for Discovery.

1292
01:22:56,480 --> 01:22:59,320
I've got no real passion for it.

1293
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:04,600
So I don't care if it's somewhat ruined by knowing what the ending is going to be.

1294
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:07,720
I just don't think the episode is going to be as good for you because you haven't watched

1295
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:09,680
all the others to get the payoff.

1296
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:11,000
Right, okay.

1297
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:15,280
Of why I think it's good episode, you have to watch the whole season to then be like...

1298
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,760
Well, I mean, we can avoid doing Discovery for the time being until I've actually watched

1299
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:19,760
the seasons.

1300
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:20,760
We could choose something else.

1301
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:21,760
It's your choice.

1302
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:27,480
Okay, so there's a great episode in it where I've told you about before where the ship

1303
01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:28,960
AI is sentient.

1304
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:30,360
Oh, right, yes, you did.

1305
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:37,760
And they have that whole conversation about whether it's allowed to continue being it.

1306
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:47,280
Why don't we watch the data one where they have the guy tries to take data and they end

1307
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:48,280
up...

1308
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:49,280
Oh, the legal episode, yeah.

1309
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:50,280
I really like that episode.

1310
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:53,280
It is a really good episode.

1311
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:56,480
I'm going to say...

1312
01:23:56,480 --> 01:23:58,720
I'm trying to think of what it's called now.

1313
01:23:58,720 --> 01:23:59,720
It's not...

1314
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:04,080
Because we could do that and then the one after could be the Discovery's version.

1315
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:05,240
Okay, yeah.

1316
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:07,320
If you want.

1317
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:11,600
We can do and then we could also do the Strange New Worlds episode of it.

1318
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:14,680
Oh, what's the Strange New Worlds episode of it?

1319
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:19,280
Last series when we get the whole court episode of she should be in...

1320
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,600
Yeah, that is so good.

1321
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,680
That might be the best one of all of them.

1322
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:24,680
Exactly.

1323
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:25,680
So actually...

1324
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:26,680
I like the Strange New World.

1325
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,560
Well, we could do Strange New World then if you want.

1326
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:31,800
I think it's 9.1, the Measure of a Man.

1327
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,160
The Measure of a Man, that's exactly it.

1328
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:39,600
I knew it was something man, but I couldn't think of the name of it yet.

1329
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:41,560
Command functions are offline.

1330
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:47,320
Anyway, look, next episode is going to be the Measure of a Man, TNG.

1331
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:51,040
Look out on Twitter and on the web page and we'll tell you what episode and series that

1332
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:52,840
is when we can find it.

1333
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:57,360
Over to you Rob to do the outro.

1334
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:00,640
That's Loki I think drinking water.

1335
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,600
Thank you everybody for watching.

1336
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaking to the microphone would kind of help at this point.

1337
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:09,880
Not speak to the left of the microphone.

1338
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:11,880
I'll stop it.

1339
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:17,120
Yeah, thanks everybody for, I said watching as well, for listening to the Untouchable

1340
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:18,120
Exo.

1341
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:19,120
Season 2 episode 9.

1342
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:20,800
Season 2 episode 9.

1343
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:21,800
The Measure of a Man, yes.

1344
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,600
Next generation of season 2 episode 9.

1345
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:26,600
Where can we be found?

1346
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:35,760
We're on X, Twitter, maybe I don't like giving you the name of X, Instagram, Facebook, and

1347
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:38,600

1348
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:40,120
We're on everything.

1349
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,360

01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,120
Thank you for doing that for me.

1358
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:12,120
You're welcome.

1359
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:13,120
You haven't done the email yet.

1360
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:14,120
I'm going to let you do the email.

1361
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,120
Oh, yeah, if you want to email us.

1362
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:17,120
It's plural.

1363
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:22,960
Yeah, it's podcasts at channel84.co.uk for both of us or just TJ.

1364
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:23,960
It's TJ at channel84.co.uk.

1365
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:24,960
It is.

1366
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:25,960
It is.

1367
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:26,960
And for me, it's Rob at channel84.co.uk.

1368
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:30,000
I'm still after people to send me stuff.

1369
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:35,680
Hopefully I edited a little skit for you for this one that was sent in by the Pinecothula

1370
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:36,680
guys.

1371
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:38,400
So if that is in this one, thank you very much.

1372
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:39,880
Else I'll be cutting this out.

1373
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,680
Thank you very much, guys.

1374
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,840
I really appreciate it.

1375
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:46,840
That's it, I guess.

1376
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:47,840
Nice.

1377
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:48,840
It's quite late.

1378
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:49,840
It's time to go to bed.

1379
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:52,920
It is time to go to bed because I'm up in six hours for work.

1380
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:57,680
So definitely, definitely, definitely worth going to sleep now.

1381
01:26:57,680 --> 01:26:58,680
Bye.

1382
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:09,200
Thank you for listening to the channel84 Untitled Trek Show.

1383
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:13,040
This station is now shutting down and we'll be back in two weeks.

1384
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:38,000
Thank you very much, Alɣs adia Scotia.
