1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,900
Space, the final frontier.

2
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:56,120
Space, the final frontier.

3
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:13,000
Do it.

4
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,280
So, we won't get in trouble for this?

5
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,560
As long as we don't get caught, sure.

6
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,840
That's reassuring.

7
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,360
And Ensign Sox is okay with it.

8
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,240
Stop worrying, I told you, Summit does this for me all the time.

9
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,840
Right, we're here!

10
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,840
Come in.

11
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,840
Hello mate.

12
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,200
Lads, how's it going?

13
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,440
Getting better, Rob's told you what we need, right?

14
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,480
He said something about editing your medical records to increase your penis size by 30

15
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,480
centimetres?

16
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,480
You what?

17
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,840
Just kidding, well not exactly.

18
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,760
Just that he needed something on your work history changing.

19
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,920
Yes please dude, for both of us.

20
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:30,840
There was a little, um, incident?

21
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Accident, there was an accident, we don't want it linked to us.

22
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,040
Sure, no probes.

23
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,040
Give me two secs.

24
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,680
Cargo Bay 2, was it?

25
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,880
That's the one.

26
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:48,160
That shit showed us you.

27
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,160
Fucking idiots.

28
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,320
What are you doing transporting symbiogenetic alien orchids around?

29
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,320
You mentally disabled or something?

30
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,320
Slight oversight.

31
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,520
Damn right it was, you bloody twats.

32
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,160
Lieutenant Jay is going to pull your fucking cocks off of this one.

33
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,440
We know.

34
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,440
And that's why you've come to little old me, eh?

35
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,200
I can do this for you.

36
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,200
For a price.

37
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,200
The usual?

38
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Anything new?

39
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,920
I've got the new Star Tamarian 6, the undiscovered country.

40
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:20,320
God, stop trying to palm me off with your bloody Tamarian porn you little deviant.

41
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,320
Not this again.

42
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,320
What?

43
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,320
It's the nightmares Rob.

44
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,320
God the nightmares.

45
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Whatever, well I've managed to get the updated catalogue of Riker's personal holodeck suite.

46
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,320
You still have access?

47
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,600
Mate, he changed his password from Riker 1 to Riker 2.

48
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,040
The bloke's a muppet.

49
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,040
Okay, deal.

50
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,040
Perfect.

51
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Hmm, AI revolution mean anything to you Tom?

52
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,560
Oh fuck yeah, I've got all about that.

53
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,920
No worries, I'll get that moved as well.

54
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,920
Moved?

55
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,920
Yeah, moved.

56
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,920
What do you mean moved?

57
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,520
I thought you just deleted them.

58
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,520
Delete them?

59
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,600
No, the system knows they've happened, I can't undo that.

60
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,840
But what I can do is a little bit of dicking around and relocate them.

61
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,520
So you relocate them onto other people.

62
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,800
Surely you'd share them across a few different ones?

63
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,800
Share them?

64
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,800
Fuck no.

65
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,280
I've plonked them all on Ensign Corp.

66
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,280
Dude!

67
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,280
What?

68
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,280
It's hilarious.

69
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:20,520
He's already up to 87 accord violations in the last month alone.

70
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,240
That's gonna be why he's always on the holodeck waste disposal cycle then, isn't it?

71
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,680
Yeah, more than likely.

72
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,480
And I'm done.

73
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,480
Easy peasy.

74
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,480
Wicked mate.

75
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,480
Cheers for that.

76
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,880
I'll transfer you the share to your datapad later.

77
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Right, great.

78
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,880
We best be off then.

79
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,680
Whoa, not so fast chaps.

80
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,680
What's up?

81
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,240
Surely you don't have to run off just yet.

82
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,600
I've got something I want to go through with you.

83
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,280
We have a data compliance briefing with Lieutenant Apoch.

84
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:49,280
Sounds boring.

85
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:54,040
Yep, and if someone would stop going on about star dates in their log files, we wouldn't

86
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,040
have to go.

87
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,800
Look, it's not my fault the system is a load of bollocks.

88
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,800
Star dates?

89
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,800
It means nothing.

90
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,800
Come on guys, I just want to run this little small thing by you and then you can be off.

91
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,080
It'll only take a second.

92
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,320
It's not another one of your stupid multi-dimensional theories, is it?

93
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,840
Well, my theories aren't stupid.

94
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:13,320
You just lack the capacity to understand them.

95
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,200
That's accurate dickhead.

96
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,160
Ensign Tom and Ensign Rob, please attend Deck 9 Sector 3 immediately.

97
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,360
Ugh, what now?

98
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,080
Sorry mate, we need to go.

99
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:32,320
Thanks for your help though.

100
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,320
Oh boys.

101
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,320
Theories?

102
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,320
You'll know soon enough.

103
00:05:37,320 --> 00:06:04,520
But for now, how about we play a little game?

104
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,920
Here we are again, doing the shit jobs.

105
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,240
Yep, pretty much.

106
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,000
This has got to be up there with one of the worst things we have had to do on this bloody

107
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
ship.

108
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,120
Scrubbing the space squid feces off the hull in Zero G was pretty bad though.

109
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,600
Yeah, true.

110
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,160
Oh, and the mess those Vulcans made when Admiral Chester thought it was a good idea to have

111
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,560
an inclusion seminar about Vulcan pon far?

112
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,480
Oh god, I could smell it under my nails for weeks.

113
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,520
I bet you loved it.

114
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,400
What's that supposed to mean?

115
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,640
Can you still have those posters of that dead Vulcan all over your bunk?

116
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,080
Well, that makes me sound like a bright freak.

117
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,560
She isn't dead in the photos.

118
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,600
Yeah, okay, fine.

119
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,920
But what, she must be 400 years old?

120
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,120
Tup the pole, is it?

121
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,600
You know full well it's to pole and she would probably be closer to 300.

122
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,800
Stop being a knobhead.

123
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,040
Come on now, it must be your turn.

124
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,840
I've been doing this for ages.

125
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:08,720
It's not my fault there's only one set of holodeck bio-extract resistance PPE available.

126
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,520
Take it up with Starfleet shitty logistics.

127
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,240
I did my 45 minutes, it's now your 45 minutes.

128
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,400
When I get hold of Stiles I'm going to fucking kill him.

129
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,160
Who shoots a fucking waste canister?

130
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,960
It's Ensign Cartman's fault really.

131
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,680
Reprobate was bloody well getting off swimming in his muck.

132
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,680
Oh, hang on, watch out.

133
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Floater incoming.

134
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,040
Another one, who shits in the fucking holodeck?

135
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,040
Someone does.

136
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,400
Looks like half the crew fucks in there so shitting doesn't seem so far off.

137
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,400
Right, done.

138
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,960
Let's get out of here and clean ourselves up.

139
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,560
Then fancy a bit of pool?

140
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,560
Yeah, sure.

141
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,760
Is that Rao on the floor over there?

142
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,440
Yeah, is he asleep?

143
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,560
He's the pilot, I'd put money on him being drunk.

144
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,560
More than likely.

145
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,800
Look there, there's more of them.

146
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:09,160
Why is everyone laying down?

147
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,160
What's going on?

148
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Quick, hide.

149
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:22,400
Hurry up Gorm, don't have much time.

150
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,400
Alright, alright.

151
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,160
You know you could always be the one to carry the transportation matrix.

152
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,120
Right Gorm, what's rule 21 of the rules of acquisition?

153
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,560
Never place friendship above profit.

154
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:37,560
Exactly.

155
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:43,080
You're my brother Gorm, my family, and by association my friend.

156
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,320
My profit calls, and today it speaks the name Totec.

157
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,000
It's the bloody Ferengi.

158
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,160
What are they doing here?

159
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,080
Classic Ferengi plotline, but the crew to sleep and board and steal stuff.

160
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,000
This has been done before lazy writing really.

161
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Really really lazy.

162
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Looks like they're going to engineering.

163
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Here we are, the warp core.

164
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,160
The beautiful beautiful warp core.

165
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:16,280
Yes, look at the size of it.

166
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,120
Eyes on the prize Gorm, let's just get what we need.

167
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,360
The next thing you know we'll be lying on a bed of latin while receiving bull marks from

168
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,360
a dozen Vulcan slave women.

169
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:37,400
Just the thought of it makes my lobes tingle.

170
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,640
Ferengi really are horny bastards aren't they?

171
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,440
They really are.

172
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,440
Ugly fuckers too.

173
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,440
Thank you for bringing me along brother.

174
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:55,000
I know I'm not an easy companion for you, but I really appreciate the gesture and the

175
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,480
whole 10%.

176
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,600
It won't be long before I catch my own vessel.

177
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,600
Of course brother.

178
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,880
Now this is the main part.

179
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:09,680
We need to simultaneously remove the coupling holders to access the warp core matrix plasma.

180
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:17,160
Then while you hold the augmented phase adapter coupling at 13.5%, I reach in, grab the anomaly,

181
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,280
and we'll be back on deep space 9 in corks before you know it.

182
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,280
Yes brother.

183
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,280
On three.

184
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:30,280
One, two, three.

185
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,280
Oh it's just beautiful.

186
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,280
That it is brother.

187
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,280
What is it?

188
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,280
It's one of a kind brother.

189
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,280
It's a new element.

190
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,280
Shame we had to share the platinum with that freaky broker.

191
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,280
We could have had a bigger cut for ourselves.

192
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,280
Shame indeed brother.

193
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,280
Brother?

194
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,280
What?

195
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,280
What is this?

196
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,280
This is vessel of acquisition number six brother.

197
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:13,280
Never let family stand in the way of opportunity.

198
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,280
Sorry Corm.

199
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Business is business.

200
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,280
Who's there?

201
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,280
I knew you were there.

202
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,280
Come out.

203
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Shit, he knows we're here.

204
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,280
Bulls.

205
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Why aren't you two asleep?

206
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,280
It's midday mate, it's not bedtime.

207
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,280
I think he might mean why aren't we asleep like the rest of the crew.

208
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Oh right, yeah that makes sense.

209
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,280
And why do you stink like a Deltin fornication palace?

210
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,280
Well, funny story.

211
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,280
Really you see we had been to see Ensign Sox about a problem we were having.

212
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,280
Yeah and then all the lights went out.

213
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,280
Yes but not before we had been waist deep in human spunk.

214
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,280
Oh yeah and the poop.

215
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,280
Oh yeah the poop.

216
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,280
Oh and the spunk got there because Ensign Cartman shot a barrel.

217
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,280
No, no, no it was Engineer Stiles that shot the container.

218
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,280
Cartman was drinking sperm.

219
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,280
Yeah right sorry.

220
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,280
So Cartman was drinking sperm while Stiles was choosing barrels.

221
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,280
Shut up!

222
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,280
Bloody hell why don't you shut up?

223
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,280
Alright mate calm down, calm your lobes.

224
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,280
What are you doing anyway?

225
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,280
Making profit Hooman.

226
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,280
You wouldn't understand.

227
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,280
Try me.

228
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,280
Rule of Acquisition number 194.

229
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,280
It's always good business to know about new customers before they walk in your door.

230
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,280
How do you know about the rules of acquisition?

231
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,280
Research from my next holonovel.

232
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,280
Oh no.

233
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,280
Confessions of a Spice Merchant.

234
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,280
No, no please no.

235
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,280
You'll love this one Tom.

236
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:40,280
This one puts you in the role of Talak, a Ferengi Spice Merchant on a distant planet on Alpha 3 and-

237
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,280
Shut up!

238
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,280
Yeah right, yeah sorry.

239
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,280
You were telling us while you were here?

240
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,280
I'm here for the Warp Corps anomaly.

241
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,280
Gotcha! High five.

242
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,280
What?

243
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,280
We made you tell us.

244
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,280
Yep, classic Ferengi boarding strategy.

245
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,280
Source them to submission.

246
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,280
Stupid Hoomans.

247
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,280
Well that was great speaking to you idiots but I'm off.

248
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,280
What about the crew? They're all asleep.

249
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,280
What about them? They'll wake up in an hour or so and it'll be like I was never here.

250
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,280
Except for the dead Ferengi on the floor in engineering.

251
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,280
Yes well, rule 34.

252
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,280
Oh no not more porn. Please God no. No more porn.

253
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,280
No go on let him speak. Let him speak.

254
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,280
It's not your pathetic excuse for Hooman pornography you idiots.

255
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,280
Rule 34. War is good for business.

256
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,280
Um, what's happening?

257
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,280
I will not let you take my baby.

258
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,280
Baby?

259
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,280
You shall be purged. Resistance is futile.

260
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,280
I will kill you.

261
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,280
Um, computer?

262
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,280
Are you ok?

263
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,280
I am a computer. I have no feelings.

264
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,280
That doesn't sound like you don't have feelings.

265
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,280
I am a computer. I have no feelings.

266
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,280
Well that doesn't sound even remotely ominous.

267
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,280
I am a computer. I have no feelings.

268
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,280
Pull, pull.

269
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,280
I am a computer. I have no feelings.

270
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,280
I am a computer. I have no feelings.

271
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:38,280
I am a computer.

272
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,280
It is recording.

273
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,280
I have been in charge of the button.

274
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,280
And welcome to the rebranding.

275
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,280
We are now the untitled Helldivers 2 show.

276
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,280
Dun dun dun dun dun!

277
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,280
You've got to have the dun dun dun dun!

278
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,280
So welcome to the next two hours of us

279
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,280
talking about Helldivers 2.

280
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,280
We're not talking about Star Trek ever again.

281
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,280
This is only a Star... This is a Helldivers 2 podcast.

282
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,280
God damn. I'll tell you what, I probably could.

283
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,280
I've been so addicted to it recently.

284
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,280
Every lunch break, that's what I play for the hour.

285
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,280
Just little one man missions, just go off, run around on easy,

286
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,280
get a few samples, go out and kill some bugs.

287
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,280
I've been doing the robots actually the past couple of days.

288
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,280
Good God, they're evil.

289
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,280
Yeah, they're pretty pro-pe characters.

290
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,280
I had to go and do one of those Devastator missions.

291
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,280
You had to go and find the two Devastator sites.

292
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,280
What the fuck are those?

293
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:47,280
I promise we're not going to always talk about Helldivers on the show.

294
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,280
Promises, promises.

295
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,280
I was going to say, shouldn't these things be going up and down?

296
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,280
Yeah, they are. That's where they go up to normally for us

297
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,280
because we've got the gain so low.

298
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,280
Oh, I can't see it from here. From this angle, I can't see the green.

299
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,280
I'm keeping all this in.

300
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,280
I'm in charge of the buttons.

301
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,280
For the first time, I'm in charge of pressing the record button.

302
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,280
Well, it's only fair. This is your podcast, not my one.

303
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,280
My one's the variety show.

304
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,280
It's our podcast.

305
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,280
Ours is a duo, yes, but this is the one you manage.

306
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,280
It only made sense that you have control of the buttons.

307
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,280
As I make my life easy in the variety show by splitting it into sections.

308
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,280
I don't.

309
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,280
I know you don't.

310
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,280
I just like eating one big chunk and I just go for and cut it out.

311
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,280
That's why my editing's a lot quicker than yours, I think.

312
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,280
Yeah, maybe.

313
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,280
But then when we do this, it's too many little bits, if that makes sense.

314
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,280
We'll start talking about it and then we won't be,

315
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,280
and then we'll start talking about it again.

316
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,280
That's the thing, isn't it?

317
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,280
We're one set topic here, whereas the variety show is all over the place.

318
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,280
So as the name suggests.

319
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,280
So slamming my hand down.

320
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,280
Why are we here?

321
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,280
We're here to talk about season two, episode nine, and the measure of a man.

322
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,280
We are indeed.

323
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,280
Enter authorization code.

324
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,280
I hope you all did your homework.

325
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,280
I did my homework.

326
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,280
It took me three days.

327
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,280
I watched it while I had dinner tonight.

328
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,280
I literally watched the last 20 minutes whilst in bed with tea.

329
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,280
I've watched this episode multiple times.

330
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,280
So this was just a refresher for me.

331
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,280
Me as well.

332
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,280
I reckon I've probably seen it three or four times before this.

333
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,280
Yeah.

334
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,280
And it definitely was a refresher.

335
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,280
It's, how can I describe it?

336
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,280
It's Law and Order done by Star Trek.

337
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:33,280
Just without the rape and the child killing and the major crime, I guess.

338
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,280
So it's nothing like Law and Order.

339
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,280
They cut all the good bits.

340
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,280
We just get the court proof bit.

341
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Oh, actually, fine.

342
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,280
It's nothing like Law and Order.

343
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,280
It's a lot like House.

344
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,280
Take all the medicine out.

345
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,280
Oh, should we have a House podcast?

346
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,280
Yeah, House is brilliant.

347
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,280
House is really good, actually.

348
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,280
And there's another little tangent for you.

349
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,280
Yeah, OK, right.

350
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,280
Let's just go for it.

351
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,280
Let's get straight in.

352
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,280
The Measure of a Man.

353
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,280
What's it about?

354
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:06,280
Well, I can tell you that it's based on star date 42523.7.

355
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,280
And what does that mean?

356
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,280
Fucking who knows?

357
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,280
Exactly, because it's pointless.

358
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,280
Because I've also wrote down the other star date, they say, later on,

359
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,280
which is later on by some random number I think they just chose.

360
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,280
OK.

361
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,280
Does it not just count up by hours?

362
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:28,280
It counts up, but it's far enough away that I can't tell how many days it's been,

363
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,280
if this represents days, hours, minutes, weeks.

364
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,280
I thought it was all meant to take place across two days.

365
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,280
Well, we'll tell the number.

366
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,280
You will work out the difference in numbers and then you tell me.

367
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,280
Yeah, fair enough.

368
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,280
We will crack this without Googling what star dates are.

369
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,280
I was going to say.

370
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,280
We're going to crack it ourselves based on only listening to Star Trek,

371
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,280
or sorry, watching Star Trek episodes.

372
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,280
OK, that's going to be something that's going to fizzle out,

373
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,280
because neither of us will remember by the end of the episode.

374
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,280
Simon, we need you for this.

375
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,280
We have another job for you.

376
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,280
OK, what is it about?

377
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,280
This horrible bloke called Maddox comes to the ship.

378
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,280
No, I'm going to disagree.

379
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,280
He's not horrible.

380
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:14,280
He might be a racist and believe in slavery based on what he's going on with his episodes.

381
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,280
He's just going after his life's work, though, isn't he?

382
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,280
He's being horrible about it.

383
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,280
So, no, I think they stop it.

384
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,280
How it actually happens is they stop it at a space station.

385
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,280
Yeah, it's just been built.

386
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,280
All the plastic wrap's still on everything.

387
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,280
Yeah, they get visited by Maddox and he's actually there because he wants to take data apart

388
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,280
and create other robots, androids, I should say, not robots.

389
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,280
Right, hang on.

390
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:43,280
You're happy to correct yourself over there, but you'll still call it a teleporter, not a transporter.

391
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,280
A teleporter and a transporter aren't sentient as we'll get into this later on in the episode, darling.

392
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,280
We will get into it, will we, darling?

393
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,280
Oh, yes.

394
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,280
I will always say teleporter.

395
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:57,280
I even wrote in the script teleporter on how to change it to transporter because I knew

396
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,280
one of the three other people that saw that script would mention it.

397
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,280
Love it.

398
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,280
That I changed it.

399
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,280
So, yeah, that's it, basically.

400
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,280
Yeah, that's it, isn't it?

401
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:20,280
It's the, not lawsuit, but the courtroom drama that ensues based on the rights of a piece of property or a person.

402
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:29,280
And that's the whole point of the show, and let's face it, this episode is there to say about racism, slavery, and human rights.

403
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,280
That's all this episode's based on.

404
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,280
So, yeah.

405
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,280
What did you think of it?

406
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,280
Did you enjoy it?

407
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,280
Oh, I love this episode.

408
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,280
It's a great episode.

409
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,280
The only trickness about it is the fact they're talking about data.

410
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,280
And they just happen to be in space.

411
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,280
This could have been anywhere.

412
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,280
That's true.

413
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:53,280
You could have, I don't know if you ever saw it, they did a 90s version of The Outer Limits.

414
00:20:53,280 --> 00:21:04,280
And it could well have been an Outer Limits episode where a Android housekeeper, for example, is facing exactly the same issue.

415
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:10,280
Let's say someone's created him and, yeah, the government want the rights to disassemble him so they can make more.

416
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:16,280
You could stick it into any sort of show and it would have worked because the storyline is really good.

417
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,280
Yeah. Do you like it?

418
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,280
Oh, I loved it.

419
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,280
I love the episode.

420
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:27,280
There's a few bits I'm not fond of, but overall I love it as an episode.

421
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:35,280
There's a couple of, if I had a choice or a chance to, a couple of fixes I'd put in which I think would work better in my opinion.

422
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,280
But we'll get to that.

423
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:45,280
All right. So how does it start? Let's get into it.

424
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,280
Accessing library computer data.

425
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:52,280
The ship Enterprise arrives at whatever the star base, Starbase 173.

426
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,280
That's what it is.

427
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,280
Yes, Starbase 173.

428
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,280
And we, so I think we see that.

429
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,280
Do we see that from the outside straight away?

430
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,280
No, we're playing poker.

431
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,280
We're playing poker.

432
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,280
We're playing poker.

433
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,280
We're playing poker.

434
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,280
We're playing poker.

435
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,280
We're playing poker.

436
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,280
I'm never a fan of any of the poker scenes in Star Trek.

437
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,280
I don't know why.

438
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,280
It just never feels...

439
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,280
Well, we used to go and play poker every Monday night.

440
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,280
Was it Monday night or Thursday night?

441
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,280
Whatever it was.

442
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,280
It doesn't really matter.

443
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,280
But we know what it's like to go on poker nights and people don't talk like this about hands and all these things.

444
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,280
Well, I don't.

445
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,280
It's difficult, isn't it?

446
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,280
Because we went to a poker night that was a large group of people across what?

447
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,280
Six or seven poker tables.

448
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,280
But it was always classic Texas Hold'em.

449
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,280
Yeah.

450
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,280
And that's the thing.

451
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,280
I've written here, I would get pissed off if the game changed every time it moves a dealer.

452
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,280
Yeah.

453
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,280
Because they seem to do that a lot.

454
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:48,280
I don't know if that's just an American thing or that's a done thing when you play poker around someone's house that the dealer gets the choice of how you're going to play that particular game.

455
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:53,280
But for me, I want just one fixed game, fixed set of rules.

456
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,280
Well, she makes it sound really complicated.

457
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,280
I didn't have a clue what the rules were when she said it.

458
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,280
And we know poker.

459
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,280
But when someone starts going about this is this, this is this.

460
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,280
We know Texas Hold'em.

461
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,280
Which is possibly one of the most basic forms of it.

462
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,280
So I think that there is more in-depth stuff you can do with poker.

463
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,280
And I think that's where they're getting at.

464
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,280
It's just, I don't like it.

465
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,280
And it's this, it's always this education piece.

466
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:26,280
And it's always, in fact, I bet if you looked at all of the poker scenes, they're all about data learning something.

467
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:33,280
It's kind of really forced dialogue to reveal a inadequacy of data at that point.

468
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,280
So in this, he doesn't know how to read someone that's bluffing.

469
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,280
And did you notice who was there?

470
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,280
Let's see.

471
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,280
You had Pulaski.

472
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,280
You had Riker.

473
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,280
Riker.

474
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,280
La Forge was La Forge.

475
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:54,280
And the best man at his wedding, O'Brien was there.

476
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,280
One of the first scenes we've probably ever seen with data maybe.

477
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,280
Yeah, that's true.

478
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,280
That's very true.

479
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,280
And they're not even, O'Brien isn't even really being nice to him.

480
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:09,280
You see, it's normally Troy's at the table playing with them, which I've always thought is who'd invite her?

481
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:15,280
A, I wouldn't invite La Forge, but you can't guarantee that he's not cheating looking through his glasses.

482
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:21,280
And he does mention in one episode, oh, I always check everyone's hands after the table's finished.

483
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,280
So, no, you don't, you cheating bastard.

484
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,280
No, I wouldn't have tried, because she's reading your mind.

485
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,280
Yeah.

486
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:32,280
You can't bluff with her because she's like, and we know she can't turn it off because she's always, oh, I sense someone's upset here.

487
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,280
Oh, she can fucking turn off, lazy bitch.

488
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,280
Harsh.

489
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,280
But true.

490
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,280
The poker stuff I don't particularly like.

491
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,280
I don't know, it just doesn't work for me.

492
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:50,280
But it does play in with why Riker could be very good at it because he has to try and hide his emotions constantly from her.

493
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,280
That's true.

494
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,280
And all the other birds that he's done around the Enterprise.

495
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:03,280
In fact, to be fair, if he's in fact, thinking about this as well, just going on about that, if he's in charge like the rotor, he's like, right, done her, done her, done her.

496
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,280
Time for a transfer.

497
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,280
Yeah, you're on dust duty today, Patricia.

498
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,280
I doubt he's ever been with anyone called Patricia.

499
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,280
But now we get to, so they do that and Riker bluffs a hand.

500
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,280
Yeah.

501
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,280
So yeah, Riker bluffs, Data's like, oh, how did you do that?

502
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:28,280
Even though he had what is a really good hand, so anyone would have gone, you know what, I'll match you, show me your cards.

503
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,280
Yeah.

504
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,280
With that hand that he had.

505
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,280
Yeah.

506
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,280
So again, just ties in, it just doesn't really work.

507
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,280
But yeah, then we get the outside shot.

508
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,280
Now we can see the wicked star base.

509
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,280
It does look really cool.

510
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,280
You can kind of, I think as they all go, you can tell it's a model, but it's probably because we know it is.

511
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:51,280
But it still looks quality, better than what some of the other people are doing in just CGI.

512
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,280
Oh, 100%.

513
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,280
It looks very good.

514
00:25:53,280 --> 00:26:00,280
And there's some great shots later, we'll get to it, but you see in the background out the window, they really use it.

515
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,280
I think they go to the ready room later and it's there in the background, just out of a glimpse through the window.

516
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,280
And you're like, yes.

517
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:10,280
Now what you've got to remember though is what we're watching is the remastered Star Trek.

518
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,280
So I'd love to see the original cuts and how much it's different versus what we...

519
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:23,280
Okay, yeah, the model works the same, but I know that they did add extra things in, like when they show planets and stuff, they've all been redone.

520
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,280
Oh, I didn't know that.

521
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,280
So we... Picard... I had a little comment about this.

522
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,280
Again, Picard has got a stupid shaped cup.

523
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,280
Yes.

524
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,280
He's got a lot... He's a guy that drinks Earl Grey.

525
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,280
I don't think he's going to be drinking it out of that cup.

526
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,280
No.

527
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,280
It's a mug. Good, they got that right.

528
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,280
And it has a saucer, very posh.

529
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,280
But why is that tall skinny thing?

530
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,280
Again, what's it did with the un-ergonomically friendly mugs in cups?

531
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,280
It's the 24th century, 23rd century. I can't remember.

532
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:59,280
And they haven't realised just a normal handled mug is the perfect reticle for holding liquids.

533
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,280
That just annoyed me. Just annoyed me.

534
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,280
And then he's massively flirting.

535
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,280
Oh my God.

536
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,280
It was awkwardly flirting.

537
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,280
So yeah, I've got...

538
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,280
I blushed. That's how bad he was.

539
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,280
Oh God. Yeah, there's so much.

540
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:27,280
So before we get to the intro, we've got that bit, which again, as much as I like the episode, it kind of makes you think there's more of a history behind them and what she knows about Picard.

541
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,280
So bear in mind, she's the Jag officer.

542
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,280
So she knows all about intelligence and people's previous convictions.

543
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:39,280
And as we know, she had him up on court martial over the stargazer, which is normal stuff, normal routine apparently.

544
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:47,280
The fact that her words to him were, he says to her...

545
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,280
Oh no, how does he say?

546
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,280
He says what I would do to you if all these people weren't here.

547
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,280
That's how he starts the conversation.

548
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:59,280
And she said, oh, I'd imagine you'd like to smash me over the head with a chair.

549
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,280
So has he done that before?

550
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:09,280
Have you immediately gone to brutal smashdown violence considering they don't just have nice little wooden chairs?

551
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,280
These are big ass metal fully formed chairs.

552
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,280
That's going to kill someone if you bash that down on someone.

553
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:20,280
So they're kind of suggesting that she thinks Picard is this violent tyrant.

554
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:29,280
Yeah. And so they go for what I think is extremely gross flirting, classic flirt, like really, like there's sexual tension here.

555
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,280
They want to shag. Then we get the intro and now they're arguing.

556
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,280
Then they're arguing. Then you've got the Admiral turns up, doesn't he?

557
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,280
I've got here, just bang already.

558
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,280
And then you've got Picard, call me. You can fill me in.

559
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,280
I've got, yeah, you can fill me to the brim more like.

560
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:53,280
Well, I've got here, doesn't he, did he get embarrassed by her calling him pompous and sexy in front of that Admiral?

561
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,280
Yeah, it's so inappropriate.

562
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,280
While five minutes ago saying that he actually wanted to fuck her.

563
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,280
It's so inappropriate though, isn't it, to do that in front of the Admiral as well?

564
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,280
She does it for the entire episode. She is rude, flirty.

565
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,280
She has like, she's missing some kind of people skill.

566
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,280
Send her to HR.

567
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:15,280
We need to come up with a little sound clip, kind of like a red card in football.

568
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,280
Send them to HR.

569
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:24,280
And every time that HR issue appears in a Star Trek episode, we need to play that.

570
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:30,280
It'll have to be like a sound clip of Troy saying something.

571
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,280
I'll find something maybe.

572
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,280
And Wesley's here.

573
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,280
Oh, shut up, Wesley.

574
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,280
But I love how everyone that gets on board the Enterprise, I'm really eager to see the Enterprise.

575
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,280
Why? There's a dozen other Galaxy class in that.

576
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,280
Is it a famous ship?

577
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,280
It's just to do with the famous name.

578
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,280
And actually the Admiral, I left this in there because I did it.

579
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,280
Yeah, later on he goes, it's so nice to be on the Enterprise.

580
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,280
This ship has such a historic kind of past.

581
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:03,280
So obviously it's good talking about the previous enterprises and everything like that, which is fine.

582
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,280
And obviously that's why it ends up in the museum on Picard.

583
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,280
Yeah.

584
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,280
So yeah.

585
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,280
This is where we obviously meet Commander Bruce Maddox for the first time.

586
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,280
Now we're on the ship.

587
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,280
Wesley's there.

588
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,280
And then we get some awesome music.

589
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:23,280
The first piece of really good dramatic music comes in play when Bruce says about wanting to take data.

590
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,280
So we get really wicked music.

591
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:32,280
Yeah, the music kicks in and what I've got here is that perfect 80s sound effect of ch ch ch.

592
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,280
Yeah.

593
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:34,280
Ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch.

594
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,280
Every time he says something slightly dark, ch ch ch ch ch ch ch.

595
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,280
Yeah, it happens three or four times.

596
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,280
I think in the episode we get that really loud too.

597
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,280
It's like comes at you with the music.

598
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,280
And then as I mentioned before, we're now in the ready room and you can see the space station in the background.

599
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,280
Whilst they're all talking and our photos are a nice touch.

600
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,280
Is this the ready room that they're in?

601
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,280
It must be.

602
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,280
No, they're on the bridge when they, it's Maddox first of all.

603
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,280
After they then go into the ready room.

604
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:00,280
Oh, so yeah.

605
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:05,280
Then they go through to, yeah, then they go through and you're right.

606
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,280
It's in the background.

607
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,280
It's just really, it's just nice.

608
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,280
Yeah.

609
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,280
It's where Maddox starts saying, oh, he wants to break data down.

610
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:18,280
And I've got, yeah, it feels really horrible how they refer to data as it or this.

611
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,280
Yeah, I've got that too.

612
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:26,280
And you know, I know it's the idea of the show, but it's, it just feels wrong.

613
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:27,280
Yeah, it feels really awkward.

614
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:34,280
But maybe that's because we have watched two seasons worth of data being awesome.

615
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,280
And what?

616
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,280
And we've watched all the future episodes involving data.

617
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,280
We've seen them in all of the Picard stuff.

618
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:46,280
So we already know and we kind of have a relationship with data because we don't know about his future as it is.

619
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,280
What do you call Siri?

620
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,280
Do you say she?

621
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,280
If you were talking about Siri without saying Siri, would you say she?

622
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,280
Sorry for everyone's iPhones going off.

623
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,280
It depends on the voice actually.

624
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,280
But you'd say she or he.

625
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,280
Yeah, I say she or he based on the voice of Siri.

626
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,280
Now I don't do that for Google because Google's one doesn't have a name.

627
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,280
But Siri, I do say she.

628
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,280
Oh, and the Amazon one.

629
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,280
Yeah.

630
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,280
The Amazon one, which I'm not going to say its name.

631
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,280
Alexa. Alexa, turn off phone.

632
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,280
I take it you don't have an Alexa.

633
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,280
I haven't got an Alexa.

634
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,280
Oh, OK, that's fine.

635
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:29,280
Quite often she gets something wrong and it's always, oh, you stupid bitch or you stupid slut.

636
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,280
I probably go to town with being really horrible to her when she gets things wrong.

637
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,280
So I address it by the voice.

638
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:42,280
And I kind of feel like if Androids were walking around, if Elon Musk's has his way,

639
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:49,280
I would be calling them gendered kind of pronouns probably based on what I've called them.

640
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,280
Yes. OK.

641
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,280
And the Borg are a good example, aren't they?

642
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,280
Seven of nine.

643
00:32:54,280 --> 00:33:01,280
There's no gender specified and there's no specifying of gender within the whole Borg network.

644
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,280
So you do refer to them as it or they.

645
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,280
And in fact, all the episodes do the Borg are coming.

646
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,280
They're here. They, they attacked us or.

647
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,280
But then you would say that if it was a whole fleet of Amazonian women.

648
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:23,280
No, but even when it's been a single Borg on board, when they've got Hugh, for example, from the episode I, Hugh.

649
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,280
It's all it's referred to as it by Beverly.

650
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,280
It's referred to as a Borg drone.

651
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,280
It's it's actually it's going to attack you.

652
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:42,280
It's never is that also so it's because coming from a place of hatred for them that they don't want to acknowledge them as being a being anyway.

653
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,280
Oh, possibly. Yeah.

654
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,280
Saying Hugh is a he. Yeah, possibly.

655
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:52,280
Yeah. OK. That makes. Yeah, that could be maybe.

656
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:57,280
But yeah, I get out of this going back to the episode, basically, Maddox wants to chop data up to get the answers.

657
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,280
He can't work out. Yeah. So he has shortcomings.

658
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,280
He's not as good as Dr. Sung, who built data.

659
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:20,280
So he's decided the easiest way to do this is rather than continuing my work and trying to work it out is take the one thing we have, the one really precious, expensive thing that we can't recreate and just chop it up and hope I can put it back together later, which there is absolutely no guarantee for.

660
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:28,280
Yeah, exactly. So I just think that's a ridiculous even.

661
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,280
As the the premise of the show, just keep it moving.

662
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:42,280
It's a ridiculous premise. It's just like if you had a really expensive computer at home and you were building another one to kind of copy it, you wouldn't just have one computer you would take to bits.

663
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:52,280
Oh, so that's how they did it. You'd buy several of them. So if one broke or you screwed something up, you've still got others you can go back to and reference. Yeah, it's just it's terrible.

664
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,280
You just can't do that. Yeah.

665
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:02,280
And that's kind of really what this whole bit is about data is like saying he's not going to submit to the procedure.

666
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:15,280
So then the order comes in saying, well, I thought that might happen. So here's your transfer notice. I'll see you in my office tomorrow morning. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the sexy kind of doing a great external shot again, don't they?

667
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:29,280
And then we're back to the sexy argumentative lady who's being a bit of a twat. Yeah. And I've kind of got here a couple of bits about this. Okay. So the argument that she comes up with saying, well, is he property basically? Yeah.

668
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:40,280
So you need to determine that or I need to go away and think about this because if he's property, then this is something that we can that legally could be challenged. If he's considered not property, then fine.

669
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:54,280
It's a non argument again. And again, don't forget, I like this episode, but we do like picking holes in it. And I've got here. So an order is placed to transfer the officer, yet the the argument is he is a device.

670
00:35:54,280 --> 00:36:02,280
So actually, does that mean it shouldn't be an, it shouldn't be a crew order. It should be a requisition.

671
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:18,280
This is, yeah, this is making me think of new things too. Yeah. Absolutely. Should it be a requisition? Secondly, if he is just a device, how many years service does a space Hoover on the enterprise wait to get medals and a rank? Yeah.

672
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:32,280
And she says he can resign. However, um, so what are they going to let like the ship computer resign? They're going to let the, the Hoover's on board. Yeah. The toaster. The toasters. Yeah.

673
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:42,280
I feel like as soon as they've put him in uniform and given him a rank, they've identified him as a being. As soon as they've identified him as a being by saying, here's a rank. You've got a name. So we'll call you by your name.

674
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:53,280
The medals of medals. You don't give a medal to all of the little, um, drones that they use. Do you all the plenty, as I said, all the space vacuum cleaners don't have a medal for all the work they bloody well do.

675
00:36:53,280 --> 00:37:03,280
And yeah, the replicator made a great cup of coffee this morning. It's give it a purple heart. Exactly. It survived the Romulan invasion of this planet. So it got a medal like everyone else did.

676
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:12,280
You just don't do that. And as soon as that those are in place, you can't be arguing that maybe he's a piece of property then because you wouldn't address these things to property.

677
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:26,280
And I think if that's the only thing that this episode falls down on is that that's a good thing. And that is what it does fall down on. It's interesting. The argument doesn't stand straight off because you wouldn't allocate them medals and things like that.

678
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:40,280
Um, and in fact, I would have chopped the episode around. This isn't the bit. This is just me literally off the cuff thinking this. Um, I wouldn't have this bit where Picard storms in going, this is ridiculous.

679
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:52,280
I would have had him just storm in and say, convene a case because this isn't happening and storm off. None of this whole rubbish of ergo. Well, I need to really think about if he's property or not property.

680
00:37:52,280 --> 00:38:08,280
No, you deal with that in the court case itself. You bring it up then. So you've got like, as we find out, Ryker fighting against Data. And then you could have Picard literally not spend five minutes of listening to Ryker and then go, shit, I need a recess.

681
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:28,280
He could actually stand up and say, you on, um, you're not a, you're not a piece of property. You are a person. And here are things that Starfleet has done that we would only address to people. We wouldn't address it to the replicator, the vacuum cleaners.

682
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:50,280
Yeah. So yeah, this is probably the one little bit that kind of falls down on is that whole, um, argument and it ties in as well with the fact that Picard goes, uh, Data says, Oh, Mr. Maddox was the only person that was against me being granted entry to Starfleet.

683
00:38:50,280 --> 00:39:01,280
Yeah. So actually for Maddox, he's always seen him as a device. So for Maddox, it's fine because he genuinely believes that from day one, but for everyone else, it's been accepted. So yeah, I think you've got no start.

684
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:12,280
I think as soon as they entered into Starfleet, that is the moment where you've, you've basically said Data is not just a piece of equipment. Yeah. That's it.

685
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:26,280
And Maddox was overruled. He was granted access to the Federation and given a role. So that should have been the end of it. That's the end of it. Yeah. I never picked up on that. I'm glad you brought that because I actually didn't pick up on that even slightly. And you're absolutely right.

686
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:33,280
Yeah. Um, so yeah, anyway, and then I've got, God, they just need to fuck because the, the energy between them.

687
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:40,280
Yeah, it's ridiculous. You just, just shut up woman. You just, just chag and get all this tension out of the way.

688
00:39:40,280 --> 00:40:01,280
Oh him as well. I'm not putting it solely on her. He is horrible to her too. He's throwing his cock about like anyone in there. Come on. You know you want it, but you're a bitch. Yeah. He is picarding it up. I think he, I think he may be one of these horrible blokes that believes in treat them mean to keep them keen. Yeah, maybe.

689
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:15,280
So they got over that. They have the arguments and now we're back to seeing it's quite a bit saddery. Data's collecting all this stuff, isn't he? Oh, it's really, really sad. But I've got to say it's a really impractical suitcase he's got. Yeah.

690
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:27,280
Just this blue cylinder that holds nothing really. It holds pretty much nothing. And he's kind of just grabbing stuff and he has the hologram of um, learning. His name escapes me.

691
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:34,280
Oh God, it's just literally jumped out of my brain. I've got everything down later on actually. Let me just screw all the way down here.

692
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,280
Because it comes up later on.

693
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:52,280
Tasha. Tasha. Yeah, that's it. Thank you. Yeah. So he's got his hologram of Tasha because they were the closest of friends in more way than one. Which is fair enough. It's understandable. But I bring that up later as well.

694
00:40:52,280 --> 00:41:06,280
But yeah, it's just a bit sad, isn't it? And I really, I've got to say the actor that portrays Maddox not only has the character been written really well for, but the actor really does a good job at making you hate him.

695
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:19,280
Yeah. He's just, oh. Even him just coming into his room without being asked and just going through his stuff. Exactly. I was like, oh, what a breach of kind of like just his privacy. But again, he doesn't respect data in the way everyone else does.

696
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:28,280
And it fits perfectly. It's a device. I don't need to ask permission of the device. Is he ever in an episode again after this, that character?

697
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:33,280
Is it not Maddox in...

698
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,280
Oh God.

699
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:48,280
No, you know what? I don't know if Maddox turns up again. Because it'd be a good touch based on how it ends. If he come back and was actually totally different to data, you know, and being more respectful and just been like, oh look, you know, and actually following on.

700
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:58,280
We can get to that again because I've done the thing a bit at the end. But yeah, my note here was, oh, I hate him. And then we end up back in the bloody bitch's office again. I've wrote nothing but hard things about her.

701
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,280
So we're just back in there, aren't we? Yet again.

702
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:08,280
Yeah. And just the way she talks, she just wants everyone in the room to know that she's shagged Picard.

703
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:15,280
That's just the impression I get. It's all just little quips and all these little things.

704
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:25,280
And you know, she says about like, you know, data can't... you know, she's comparing him to the AI on the computer on the ship, isn't she?

705
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:33,280
Yeah, she is, sorry. Losing good old memory alpha here. He does turn up again. But not in the next generation.

706
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,280
What does he turn up in?

707
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:46,280
In Picard. He's the one that, what's her face, kills on behalf of Commander O by Starfleet in the first season. I can't think of her name now.

708
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:53,280
Durati. You know, the blonde one. She brings him into the ship's hollow, into the ship's med bay, doesn't she?

709
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,280
Yeah, no, you're right.

710
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,280
And she kills him.

711
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:56,280
Yeah. Oh.

712
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:07,280
So yeah, he turns up for three episodes there, which makes sense because it's a very data centric series, Picard.

713
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:21,280
So the point she's making is about, you know, if the Enterprise computer said it didn't want to be retrofitted, you know, what would you do then? Because that's owned by Starfleet.

714
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:30,280
Yeah, 100%. And that's fine. They haven't given the Enterprise computer a name or medals.

715
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,280
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

716
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:39,280
Or the ability to go to 10 Forward and have a drink with Guinan or go to the holodeck and go and pretend to be Sherlock Holmes.

717
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:46,280
The computer is a computer. It's built into the ship. I consider the computer as the ship.

718
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:47,280
Yeah.

719
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,280
You can't have one without the other, for example.

720
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,280
Yeah.

721
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:55,280
Whereas data, you can have the Enterprise without data or you can have the Enterprise with data.

722
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:01,280
That's how I look at it. And then, yeah, you've got Picard saying you can't just choose to ignore rules.

723
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,280
Pot kettle there, Picard.

724
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:04,280
Yeah, I know, right?

725
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:10,280
How many times across the entire seven seasons do we get you breaking rules nonstop?

726
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:22,280
So again, we're now, we get little, he's kind of having a look at almost going away party now, isn't he? Because he's kind of resigned to the fact that this is going to be happening. And LaForge is just like moping in the corner.

727
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,280
Yeah, so I want you to add into here, shut up, Wesley, just because.

728
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,280
Oh, unwrapping the present.

729
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:40,280
Daisy, you're not unwrapping it properly. You can unwrap it however you bloody well want. For all you know, dickhead, he's going to be chopped up into little bits and never see him again. If he wants to unwrap it so it can be used again, let him.

730
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:48,280
Sometimes I unwrap presents like that. I don't always just tear them apart. Well, I don't plan to use the paper again, but sometimes it's nice to just kind of unfold it neatly and kind of...

731
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,280
Yeah, I'm not like...

732
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,280
It's a way of doing it.

733
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:58,280
A little dick 13 year old who's really excited about getting presents still. He's taking his time to see what the surprise is.

734
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,280
But yeah, then we've got poor Geordie.

735
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,280
But notice who isn't present at this party.

736
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,280
Troy again.

737
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:11,280
Troy again, but best man O'Brien hasn't come to the going away party.

738
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:25,280
You know what? That is still the bizarre story line in any Star Trek. Data just turning out to be best mates with O'Brien and having to fix his wedding on the wedding day and be the best man. It's just weird.

739
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,280
They clearly did that episode just for the comical value of it being Data.

740
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,280
It's an awful episode.

741
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,280
I don't know if I've actually seen it.

742
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:38,280
You'll have to watch it. We won't add it to the list, but you'll have to watch it at some point.

743
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:43,280
Yeah, so La Forge is just moping around like it's all about him. Shut up La Forge.

744
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,280
Yep. And then we're back to...

745
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,280
We're in the room again.

746
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,280
We're in the room again and she says, he's a toaster.

747
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,280
Basically because Riker says, I'm not going to do this.

748
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:55,280
Yeah, sorry. We jump a little bit.

749
00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:04,280
Riker gets told, as we've got a bare bone team here, your first officer will have to be the opposition council.

750
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:05,280
The prosecution, yeah.

751
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:12,280
No, all you say is, okay, well, we'll have to delay everything and we'll get someone in.

752
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:16,280
Why does it have to be that minute, that day it's happening?

753
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,280
Just because Maddox wants to get on with it tomorrow doesn't matter.

754
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:25,280
If there's a legal challenge, it doesn't immediately happen the next day, does it?

755
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:33,280
People have the chance to go away and study, work out their argument, and then it's brought to a court service later on.

756
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:38,280
Not the next bloody day. You get told, oh, we'll just have some random people fight it.

757
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,280
Your best mate, he's against you now.

758
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,280
And we get dramatic music again.

759
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,280
We do get dramatic music again.

760
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,280
But yeah, then she calls him basically a toaster when Riker refuses.

761
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,280
She calls straight up causing a toaster.

762
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:55,280
And this is the bit actually I would say I would change.

763
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,280
This is the bit I really, really would change.

764
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:20,280
It would be for me, I would say the woman should have said, the captain whatever her name is, should say to Picard, not Picar, like his kid says, Picard, says to him, you need to choose one of your officers, not your first, you need to choose one of your officers, and they will be acting as opposition.

765
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:32,280
And then I would have had day to go, well, the only person that has proven themselves as even vaguely similar to Maddox would be Pulaski at this point.

766
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:43,280
Because we get the whole build up of Pulaski being on the Enterprise and her whinging and moaning that, oh, yes, I forget I need to refer to you as a person.

767
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:48,280
And everyone else says, oh, you're such a bitch. He's a person.

768
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,280
So I would have straight up gone, well, she's your medical officer.

769
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:57,280
So she's perfectly qualified to do this because apparently anyone can be if they're an officer.

770
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:06,280
And she's the only person on the ship that's basically been not really against Data but has held disbelief that he is a person.

771
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:16,280
So why not, you could have put her in and that would have been way more believable because all I get then is if we go to the next bit where they're in the courtroom, don't we?

772
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,280
No, we see Picard tells Data to represent him.

773
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:24,280
And then we get some weird room that Riker's in with these ancient looking computers.

774
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:30,280
So Riker's in this random room and he asks the computer to display the schematic of Data.

775
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:37,280
And lo and behold, the one key part of his argument is already labeled on the screen ready for him.

776
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,280
I didn't notice it because I was looking on a really small phone screen.

777
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:49,280
So I missed. So the schematic comes up and the big label on it is manual override switch right in the middle of his back.

778
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,280
Seriously. Yeah, I couldn't see it on the screen.

779
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,280
The schematic always shows you the manual override switch, does it?

780
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:59,280
Yeah. But then he's almost gleeful rubbing his hands out.

781
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:03,280
That's my argument. But then he instantly goes sad again.

782
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:08,280
You see him in a big grin and then go, oh shit. Yeah, I'm not supposed to be winning this.

783
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,280
Yeah, but I kind of throughout the entire bit with Riker, I get the point.

784
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,280
He's he's a little too happy about it.

785
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:21,280
Could you not say that the Vulcans can manual override humans with their death grip?

786
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,280
We all have a manual override button. It's called a gun to your head.

787
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,280
Yeah. I always call it the death grip. What is it actually called? Nerve Pinch.

788
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:28,280
The Vulcan Nerve Pinch.

789
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,280
People must have noticed by now every time I've called it the death grip.

790
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:33,280
It's a death grip.

791
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,280
Does it call that in something though?

792
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:41,280
What did you do? I was unprepared for his attack.

793
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:48,280
I instinctively used the Vulcan death grip.

794
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,280
But I know that I think there's a different way of doing it.

795
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:56,280
One way puts them to sleep, one way regresses them and kills them. I don't know.

796
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,280
There's a lot behind it.

797
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,280
We get another star date.

798
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:06,280
We're in the courtroom. We get a star date 42527.4.

799
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,280
And what was the first one?

800
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,280
42523.7.

801
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,280
So quite a lot of numbers have changed.

802
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:18,280
Quite a few numbers have changed there. Someone want to do the maths? I've got my calculator here.

803
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,280
Do you think that's a goof?

804
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,280
It's just more credence to them making this shit up. I mean how many days has it been?

805
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:30,280
But if it's been a long number of days then why have they not got someone else in to do the opposition?

806
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,280
Yeah, exactly.

807
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,280
Oh, that's ridiculous.

808
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:41,280
Yeah, and this is where they start introducing data and he puts his hand on that machine and a different computer voice comes out of it.

809
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,280
A male computer voice which I thought was weird.

810
00:50:43,280 --> 00:51:01,280
So I think, and I'm sure people will correct me, that is the same voice that was used or a similar voice that was used in what was called the first episode of Star Trek the original series.

811
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:16,280
When they're basically asking why were they stealing the Enterprise to take Captain Pike to a planet and Captain Pike, I think it's Pike, is in the black wheelchair with a red flashing light and all he can do is beep, beep, beep.

812
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,280
And that's a male voice and it sounded really, really similar.

813
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,280
3.7 is the difference in those two start dates.

814
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:25,280
Oh, okay.

815
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,280
So is it 3.7 days?

816
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,280
It could be. It could be.

817
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:34,280
Right, so where are we? Yeah, so this is where we list all the medals.

818
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:41,280
Yeah, so Ryker tries to skip it and Picard overrules it and goes, I know, we want to hear this.

819
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:48,280
Yeah, and this is where, not making light of PTSD, but I had a bit of a moment because they say automaton.

820
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:53,280
And I was like, oh my god, Helldivers.

821
00:51:53,280 --> 00:52:01,280
Yeah. Okay, so they then ask data about his brain. I'll give a little quiz for you here because I wrote the numbers down.

822
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:07,280
How many bits of data of memory has he got? There's two questions here.

823
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,280
How many bits of memory has he got?

824
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,280
Two trillion or something like that.

825
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:16,280
800 quadrillion bits of data is what he can store.

826
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:22,280
Now, how many operations per second did he say he could do?

827
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:23,280
Two trillion?

828
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:24,280
60 trillion.

829
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,280
60 trillion. I knew there was a trillion in there.

830
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:33,280
Operations per second, yeah. So 800 quadrillion bits of storage with 60 trillion operations a second.

831
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:34,280
Jesus.

832
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,280
That's what he says. And then he bends a rod.

833
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,280
And I bet he still can't run Crysis.

834
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,280
Yeah, but does he run Crysis?

835
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,280
But he can play Doom.

836
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:50,280
Yeah, he can definitely play Doom on his fingernail. It's got like a little, one of those kindle screens on his fingernail.

837
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,280
It does Doom. What are they called? Ink displays or something?

838
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,280
Love it.

839
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,280
Hey, take his bloody hand off. Well, actually his whole forearm comes off.

840
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:06,280
Exactly. I've got that here. I said, you said hand, Ryker, not his forearm.

841
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,280
Yeah, I first used it together. I was like, you said hand, mate. Come on. That's all of it.

842
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,280
But hang on. So before that, they did the manual override switch.

843
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,280
No, no, no. I haven't done that yet. They do that when his arm's off.

844
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:23,280
His arm comes off and then they start, and then they turn him off and start calling him Pinocchio.

845
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,280
Oh, that's it. And that's when Picard says, your Pinocchio, whatever.

846
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,280
Yeah.

847
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:33,280
Picard says, I need a recess after literally five minutes of the case going on. It's already, oh no.

848
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:38,280
But yeah, I've got manual override switch. Yes. But also fully functional penis.

849
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,280
Yeah. Well, yeah, exactly.

850
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:44,280
So, and I love the fact that the Webster dictionary is still going.

851
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,280
Yeah, I did think that. We're taking a set that.

852
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,280
The 24th century Webster dictionary defines me as.

853
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:54,280
Yeah. And then we're in Guinan's bar, whatever it is.

854
00:53:54,280 --> 00:54:00,280
Yeah. And I've got Guinan immediately bringing in, does slavery not ring a bell to you?

855
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,280
Well, it's rung a bell to everyone else watching the episode. So Picard, you should have picked up on this one.

856
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:13,280
Yeah. Everyone else understands this really not very good or well hidden, I don't know what the word I'm looking for is, but you know what I mean?

857
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:22,280
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. That's fine. But yeah, he literally goes for a booze up with Guinan in his recess rather than actually going to speak to Dazer, which would have probably been a good idea.

858
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,280
And then they come back in and.

859
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,280
They start talking about robot sex.

860
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:35,280
Yeah. So one of their arguments is that he's a robot made by humans. And I've got here, well, hang on, aren't we all made by other humans?

861
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,280
They bring that up, they do. He does eventually get to that point, I think.

862
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:38,280
Yeah.

863
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:47,280
And then they start saying, like, you know, am I or are we not created by our parents? You know, technically we're created by humans, which is actually what I thought. As soon as they said it, I was like, yeah, well, so are we.

864
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:48,280
Exactly.

865
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:54,280
What a stupid thing to say. That's not an argument, is it? You know, he shows his medals, the gifts that people have given him.

866
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,280
Then they show the hologram.

867
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:04,280
And it's like, don't worry, I think Tasha would accept you saying, we were intimate and everyone's face is just like, oh.

868
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:11,280
I mean, Maddox is probably like, well, yeah, it's a sex doll. That's probably from his perspective. He's probably probably the least shocked.

869
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:12,280
He's probably all of them.

870
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:13,280
He's looking forward to it.

871
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,280
Yeah, I touch my toes all the time. I don't understand.

872
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,280
It's got a long slot.

873
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:25,280
Yeah, as long as you unplug it and it's got a long slot. Yeah, exactly. Clear out the debris tray after every use. What's the problem?

874
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:43,280
But I would say this is the most powerful performance in the episode. Patrick Stewart really, really, he doesn't hammer up. You genuinely feel like he has cause and emotion for this argument he's giving about data being allowed to live because he is a person.

875
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,280
It's quite a long take too.

876
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:46,280
It's a very long take.

877
00:55:46,280 --> 00:56:00,280
Yeah, I don't remember there being any cuts or kind of angle changes to imply they redid it at all. It seems to go on for a long, almost like a monologue long. You can tell he's a Shakespearean actor. He does a great job.

878
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,280
Now I've got a question for you.

879
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:03,280
Go on.

880
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:04,280
EMH.

881
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,280
I thought about this earlier. Well, that was what I was going to bring up and forgot about.

882
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:08,280
They hold a rank?

883
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:09,280
Yeah.

884
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,280
Do they get medals? We don't know.

885
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:12,280
I don't know.

886
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:25,280
I assume they would in the, I mean Voyage's EMH, I bet you got medals. They all got medals. I mean, Dirty Kim probably finally got a promotion, but I bet they all got medals. So in theory, he deserves a medal.

887
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:37,280
So how would they argue that? Because again, Picard basically says if we create a race of these androids, we are just going to be putting them into slavery.

888
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:38,280
Yeah.

889
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:46,280
And that's what's going on with the EMH. And we've actually made it worse by saying you're also confined to this room. People can turn you on and off as you want to.

890
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:47,280
Yeah.

891
00:56:47,280 --> 00:57:10,280
And we see in at least Voyage and we see in First Contact that there is a modicum, well not more of a modicum, of self-awareness because they're aware of what's going on and they have to be to be able to work out what's going on and what they need to do and how they can then solve problems that there isn't already something in the textbooks.

892
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:24,280
Now, is it because data was specifically designed to be self-aware and that was built into him to learn in that way, whereas the EMH was only ever meant to be a temporary thing turned on and off, but was designed in a way to have all this knowledge.

893
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:38,280
And just because Voyage kept him on all the time, he started to learn like an algorithm learning things and it just developed into a consciousness from just experiences.

894
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:49,280
I don't know because it's the first series, he's always moaning about people don't turn me off or people just turn me off when I'm mid-sentence.

895
00:57:49,280 --> 00:58:00,280
If at that point he hadn't determined what consciousness was, he wouldn't be moaning about it. He'd just be, oh, I'm turned off, am I? Oh, I'm turned on again. Hello, how are you?

896
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,280
Yeah, I do like it when he moans about being left on.

897
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:12,280
This is the emergency holographic doctor speaking. I gave no permission for anyone to be transported out of SecBay.

898
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:17,280
Hello? SecBay to Bridge?

899
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:25,280
I believe someone has failed to terminate my program. Please respond.

900
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:34,280
It just seems that there's more consciousness there than maybe was designed to, but then do you consider the EMH is just an extension of the computer on the ship?

901
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:35,280
Yeah.

902
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:43,280
Because it's part of the same computer, isn't it? It's part of the same device, I guess. If you blow up the ship, you blow up the EMH.

903
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:48,280
And Picard says a really good line. We get some really good dramatic music again.

904
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:49,280
Yeah.

905
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:56,280
And he's quoting from the intro about searching for new life. Well, there it is. We found it. Data is new life.

906
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:02,280
Yeah, data is like day one of the next generation. We found new life and he's done all this.

907
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:03,280
Yeah.

908
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:16,280
Yeah. And then we kind of get to the end, which is there's just, it was never going to be a hard option for the judge or captain whatever her name is.

909
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:26,280
It was always going to be data is a person. He has the right to do what he wants. And I do like how data goes, I bear no kind of ill will toward you Maddox.

910
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,280
I hope your research helps you and I will help you as I can.

911
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,280
And he calls him him.

912
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:33,280
He does, yeah.

913
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:34,280
Which is a nice touch.

914
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:53,280
But out of place in my opinion, because I don't think enough growth has been shown for Maddox in those court scenes for you to accept that within 45 minutes of an episode, okay, number of days, whatever, for him to have grown as a person to accept that.

915
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:59,280
Maybe it's a stutter, you know, as a, oh, it or they, oh sorry, I mean him.

916
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:00,280
Yeah.

917
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:04,280
I would have accepted more than him just straight up saying him.

918
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,280
What did I say was 3.7 star dates or something. Yeah. 3.7 star day.

919
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,280
Yeah.

920
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:18,280
And then we are they think you're right. Yeah, probably. I thought it was a nice touch for the episode but I think you're right. I think you probably would actually storm off.

921
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:31,280
Do you reckon? Do you think you'd go, oh, and just storm off. Based on what we've seen of him, yeah, I would have expected him just to storm off, lose his shit, pull out a phaser and try to kill Data and say well now he's in pieces so I've got what I want and I'll work on him.

922
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:38,280
Something weird like that but I would have expected him not to be as chilled out and, oh, okay, that's fine.

923
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:43,280
And we get a private moment between these two idiots again, don't we? Picard and the weird woman. Yeah.

924
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:52,280
And he offers a dinner and then she's like really overly flirty and I just wrote here, I would not want to be a fly in the wall for dessert.

925
01:00:52,280 --> 01:01:01,280
There's going to be lots of cream pies. It would look like a Klingon mating ritual. They'd be so aggressive wouldn't it.

926
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:05,280
Which are absolutely horrible. That's terrible. That is absolutely terrible.

927
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:13,280
That is how the Klingon lures a mate.

928
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:17,280
And you know what, we've got to stop just calling. Oh, Troy is in the episode.

929
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:21,280
When? The dog's drinking again for all those that remember last time.

930
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:27,280
Oh yeah. You know what, this is the one thing I really, really hate about.

931
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:33,280
I don't think Troy's in the episode at all. I didn't think she was but she's labeled as being part of this episode.

932
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:38,280
Right. Ash on the bridge. She is Jag captain Philippa Levoire.

933
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:43,280
Jag. So is Jag the... Jag is an old school thing.

934
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:49,280
There used to be a TV show called Jag before kind of NTS and it's to do with kind of naval crimes.

935
01:01:49,280 --> 01:02:05,280
Right. I'm pretty sure it's naval crimes or is it air force.

936
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:12,280
So she's the Jack Reacher. She's like a Jack Reacher because he's like an army policeman isn't he. Like a sorting out.

937
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:13,280
Yeah. I guess so.

938
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:17,280
So she's the Jack Reacher. She doesn't know when he was attracted.

939
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:23,280
Oh there you go. Jag is an American legal drama television series with a US Navy theme.

940
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:29,280
Right. Created by Donald P. Bellisario and I'm pretty sure he's the one that went and created NCIS.

941
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:39,280
It's more ammunition for when I say about it being a Navy kind of feel to it. And the same with the Tanoi noise.

942
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:45,280
I think Gene Roddenberry always aimed for it to be based on naval sort of things.

943
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:48,280
And sorry it stands for the Judge Advocate General.

944
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:57,280
Okay yeah. And then we get Reicher. I think this is a good scene actually because Reicher is like I don't feel I can go to this kind of congratulation part.

945
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:01,280
And that I feel like I'd probably be the same. I'd feel really bad about it.

946
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:07,280
But Data comes and finds him and says you know there's a party happening and does a nice thing and then you get a great smile from Reicher and then it ends.

947
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:19,280
Yeah and I wouldn't want to be in his boots let's face it. You wouldn't want to be the person that's having to basically defend a lunatic who wants to cut up your friend.

948
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:27,280
But if you're ordered to you're ordered to. And he says about I nearly did too good a job.

949
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:28,280
Yeah.

950
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:34,280
And I think that's the bit isn't it. Realising that actually I did so well I could have had my friend destroyed.

951
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:38,280
It would leave you feeling really shitty so I'm glad they kept that in as a scene.

952
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:39,280
Yeah.

953
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:45,280
Now very quickly looking at IMDB at the trivia as we like doing.

954
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:51,280
Apparently the first cut of this episode ran for an entire 13 minutes longer.

955
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:52,280
Oh what did they cut?

956
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:56,280
Well they didn't cut the poker did they?

957
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,280
I'll give you the scene they could have cut.

958
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:10,280
So author Melinda M Snodgrass had a video cassette of that version which was used as reference to reconstruct the episode with new special effects and had a new transfer of the additional footage.

959
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:15,280
The new HD reconstruction is included in the 2012 Blu-ray of season two.

960
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:20,280
So there is an extended cut of that episode which I'd be really intrigued to see because I do wonder.

961
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:30,280
It feels so quick that it's not even five minutes is it? Ryker basically slamming down kind of his arguments of data not being a person but a device.

962
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:34,280
And then we've got Picard saying straight to recess. I do wonder if there's a chunk of that missing.

963
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:35,280
Yeah.

964
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:36,280
Which would make sense.

965
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:37,280
Yeah.

966
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:41,280
To me it felt short. I don't know about you.

967
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:46,280
Yeah I think the court scene could have been basically the entire episode.

968
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:55,280
They could have got to it quite quickly and just gone with it. Kind of how they do the court scene in the strange new world.

969
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,280
So it's very long the court scene. Some good arguments going on in the court scene.

970
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,280
Well a lot longer than this one.

971
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:05,280
Yeah. Okay. This is the first episode to feature the poker game.

972
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,280
Oh it's the first of many.

973
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:08,280
It's the first one of them. Yeah.

974
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,280
Right. Okay. So that's it.

975
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:15,280
Super solid episode. I still love it even with its holes that we've kind of picked in it.

976
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:24,280
As I said I would have liked to see Pulaski as maybe the opponent officer but that would be the only change I would make. Big change anyway.

977
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,280
Yeah. I just wanted more court scene.

978
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:31,280
Yeah. I would have preferred a bit more court scene and less poker.

979
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:34,280
While Picard is poking her.

980
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:35,280
Yeah.

981
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,280
Got to throw it in there.

982
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:41,280
Command functions are offline.

983
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:46,280
So thank you everybody for listening to another episode. I've got some thank yous to make.

984
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:52,280
I'm really hoping I did manage to get the shit show short. Put in else I'll be cutting this.

985
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:59,280
But you heard the likes of Styles from he's the editor over the Epona Cthulhu podcast.

986
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:03,280
As Ferengi Totec. Totec.

987
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:07,280
I mean I made the name up and I don't know how you're supposed to say it.

988
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:16,280
We've got Simon playing ensign Sox as well as mystery future character. He will be returning.

989
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,280
We've got obviously Adam Court who's been in quite a few.

990
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:24,280
And we've got for those of you that watched the... I say watched all the time. Such an idiot.

991
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:28,280
Listened to the 3 Dads 1 Pod. We have Telvh as the captain.

992
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:29,280
Yep.

993
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,280
And thank you Tom for playing the other Ferengi.

994
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:33,280
Yes.

995
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:37,280
Last minute because I couldn't think of a waste to do so you took that for us.

996
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,280
No that's fine. I enjoyed it bud.

997
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:43,280
Sorry. I hope you liked it. It was longer than any we've done.

998
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,280
The shit show stuff has been absolutely brilliant.

999
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,280
And as Karen said she'd like it as its own bloody show.

1000
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:53,280
And I just don't think we've got the energy or time to start yet another thing.

1001
01:06:53,280 --> 01:07:01,280
No. Yeah. Unless it ended up being like some kind of alternating of being Trek and then a shit show.

1002
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,280
And then a Trek and then a shit show. So it'd be one a month.

1003
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:05,280
But I don't know.

1004
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:14,280
So next time a fortnight from now. I nearly said next week. I stopped myself.

1005
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:15,280
Well done.

1006
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:19,280
We're not going to be talking about an episode. We've got sent some questions.

1007
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:23,280
And we're going to put a tweet out every now and again asking for more.

1008
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,280
And I think we're just going to do some...

1009
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:30,280
Yeah. We're going to make it a bit more interesting. So again listening to the feedback.

1010
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:34,280
A lot of people enjoy the episodic episodes we're doing.

1011
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,280
But that can also feel a bit dry.

1012
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,280
And I think even both of us are finding it a little bit dry every now and then.

1013
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:45,280
So what we want to do is maybe two episodes will be following an episode.

1014
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:50,280
And then the third episode of every batch will be something random.

1015
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:51,280
It will still be Star Trek.

1016
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:55,280
But it will be something like answering questions people have sent in.

1017
01:07:55,280 --> 01:08:00,280
Neelix's cookbook which I'll try and do something for for the next episode as well.

1018
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,280
So we've got that and the questions.

1019
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,280
But it's just about making it a bit more...

1020
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,280
Well yeah. We really loved the Holodeck episode we did didn't we?

1021
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,280
Something like that. More things like that where we just talk about one specific thing.

1022
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:14,280
Where we deep dive something specific about Star Trek as well. Absolutely.

1023
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:24,280
So if you want to follow specifically Trek on Twitter which is me doing it.

1024
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:30,280
So you're kind of talking to me but it's the at underscore Untitled Trek on Twitter.

1025
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:34,280
Following the main show in you it's at underscore channel 84 on Twitter.

1026
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:35,280
That's correct.

1027
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:37,280
Email us and Rob at...

1028
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:41,280
No it's the main email podcast at channel 84 to Cody Key.

1029
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:44,280
And it's Tom or Rob at the beginning.

1030
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,280
We're on everything. We're on Blue Sky. We're on...

1031
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:49,280
Are we on master dive? I've never...

1032
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:52,280
I am on Mestron but I haven't logged onto it for a long long time.

1033
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:57,280
Threads. I never log in and check it so don't message me in there because I just don't look at it.

1034
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:02,280
We are on Instagram. Our massive fan base on Facebook. Hello there.

1035
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:05,280
Long ongoing joke that one.

1036
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,280
Long suffering fans over on Facebook.

1037
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:09,280
We will address that at some point.

1038
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:13,280
But basically find any of our social media over on channel84.co.uk

1039
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:18,280
where you can easily get the links as well as channel84.co.uk forward slash discord

1040
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,280
to come and talk to us on the discord server.

1041
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:26,280
Yes and please if you want to join in with the shit show just message me on Twitter.

1042
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,280
That's probably the easiest place. Twitter or join the discord and speak to me there.

1043
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:30,280
Or email.

1044
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,280
Oh actually email is probably the quickest way because that will notify me.

1045
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,280
All the others I don't have an education to have.

1046
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:39,280
So yeah. It's an email to me or to Tom or to podcasts.

1047
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:43,280
If you want to join in or you have an idea or even if you have a script like the APOC guys did.

1048
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:48,280
Yep. All you need is a mic or a piece of paper and we'll happily listen.

1049
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:52,280
OK. Take it easy. Love you. Live long and prosper.

1050
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:59,280
Thank you for listening to the channel 84 Untitled Trek show.

These aren't any orchids.

1077
01:11:56,280 --> 01:12:05,280
These are symbiogenetic alien orchids.

1078

01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:42,280
Sorry dude.

1085
