Accessing USS Shitshow crew member log files. Please select required crew member.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Ensign Cort selected, commencing playback.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Ensign's log, stardate 26239.4. The captains assigned me a very special mission. Find out where the moisture goes from holodeck simulations.

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
I did ask engineering but they told me to piss off. Guess I'm on my own with this one.

5
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,280
The

6
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:09,280
I think I caught the burp. I didn't get the la la la of it but I caught the burp.

7
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:16,180
I don't even know the words I'm just making up now.

8
00:01:16,180 --> 00:01:18,480
Robin Williams is a really good one I'll add.

9
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,440
He does it, it's really fun to do.

10
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:27,200
Hello everybody.

11
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,720
Hello everyone.

12
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:43,200
I don't cut any stuff out.

13
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,840
No you don't.

14
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,440
Welcome to the Untitled Trek Show.

15
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,440
Hi.

16
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,800
This is actually number one science fiction indie podcast on Goodpods previously.

17
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,960
Goodpods are doing us well.

18
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,840
They are looking after us thanks to our fans leaving great reviews.

19
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,960
I say Goodpods aren't really doing the looking after, it's the fans going and, I say listeners

20
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,360
rather than fans, listeners going and reviewing and commenting.

21
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,560
That's true but Goodpods has actually created quite a good idea.

22
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,720
A community based podcast player.

23
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,160
A brilliant idea.

24
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,680
It's a really good idea, yeah.

25
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,080
Just needs a little bit more polish.

26
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,280
I don't know what the iPhone app's like but the Android one certainly needs a bit of more

27
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,280
work.

28
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,400
But they are very good at fixing the things when you tell them.

29
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,080
Oh yeah, I mean the iPhone one, iPhone?

30
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,080
iPhone?

31
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,280
Sorry, I come from somewhere in Europe.

32
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,280
iPhone.

33
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,720
iPhone one has been pretty good.

34
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,280
It did use to have a few bugs.

35
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,360
It was pretty slow.

36
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,720
It's a little bit slow now I would say.

37
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,440
But otherwise it's pretty solid.

38
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,080
Just waiting on CarPlay.

39
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,360
That's the big thing I'm waiting on because then I can move to it.

40
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,200
Because I listen to so many podcasts in the car, if I don't have CarPlay I'd have to fiddle

41
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,120
around with the phone which is obviously illegal in the UK so I can't use it.

42
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,480
Yeah, if I'm using Spotify I can press the skip buttons on the radio and it will skip

43
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,640
ahead a certain time.

44
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:11,640
It doesn't work.

45
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:17,200
I don't know what it's like if you're using your headphones and the buttons on them because

46
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,200
I never use them.

47
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,960
I only do the double tap pause.

48
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:20,960
That does work.

49
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,960
Oh fair enough.

50
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,480
But that should just trigger the phone now.

51
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Again we're not going into Android versus iPhone because that's nothing to do with this

52
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,880
podcast.

53
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,880
Neither of us care.

54
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:38,200
But the one thing that iPhone does do is the majority of all the music players or podcast

55
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,600
players are forced to use Apple's APIs and stuff for music.

56
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,120
So when you go into now playing it will show you whatever's playing and it will take you

57
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,320
to the app that's playing.

58
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:55,480
In effect it's basically using the same start, play, fast forward, rewind buttons and you

59
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,760
can bring in a few extras that other apps might not use.

60
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,260
So no matter what you're controlling it via it works.

61
00:04:03,260 --> 00:04:09,400
Is it almost just like putting a different skin over Windows Media Player?

62
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,400
In effect yeah.

63
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,960
I mean for the programmers out there you basically download the developer kit and it's just like

64
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,920
right well I'm going to use a music player and Apple provides you all the music player

65
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,960
functionality that you just drag and drop the new code to do what you want but it's

66
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,520
still using their base code basically.

67
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,880
That's a really good idea though.

68
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,560
But then they're that eco stick.

69
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,840
It means that you're stuck within the Apple infrastructure and their ecosystem whereas

70
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:42,720
Android I'm pretty sure if you wanted to develop a fully pledged music player on your own for

71
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,440
Android you probably could.

72
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,400
I'm sure Google do provide the ability like Apple do but if you wanted to ignore them

73
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,640
just do it straight up yourself you can probably also do that.

74
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,640
That's just what it is.

75
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,440
But anyway we're rambling a lot about it.

76
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,320
Not having to do a sci-fi or a Star Trek.

77
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,720
So as always any sci-fi in the last fortnight?

78
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,720
Other than Helldivers 2.

79
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,720
Other than Helldivers 2.

80
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,720
Which is actually sci-fi.

81
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:06,720
Yes.

82
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:16,800
I've watched another episode of Twisted Metal which I'm still really enjoying.

83
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:25,840
The level of comedy and action and thriller that they've kind of fit into it works really

84
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:26,840
well.

85
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:31,520
I'm genuinely surprised as I put it on thinking I think this is going to be a bit crap.

86
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,520
I can't see how you're going to make Twisted Metal into a TV show but they've managed it

87
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,440
and I hear that they've also done Fallout justice.

88
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,560
I'm two episodes into Fallout and it's very good.

89
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,120
Well all I'm seeing is rave reviews for it at the moment.

90
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,200
So that's been added to my list to watch after I finish Twisted Metal.

91
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,800
So I'm going to add that on but otherwise exciting news I finally after four failed

92
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,480
tickets have seen Godzilla X Kong.

93
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,480
Yay!

94
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,960
Is it the new Empire or something like that?

95
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,720
Yeah I've finally seen the new one.

96
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,720
And?

97
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,720
Loved it.

98
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,400
I love all the new Godzilla stuff.

99
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,560
Since the 2014 first film and then you've got Godzilla King of the Monsters, then you've

100
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,600
got Godzilla vs Kong, now you've got this one.

101
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,600
Love them all.

102
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,760
There's one that I didn't particularly enjoy but I will go back and give it another chance

103
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,400
because I didn't really watch it properly.

104
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,520
We were around a friend's house when I was watching it and we were just chatting more

105
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,520
than anything.

106
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,520
It was Kong Skull Island.

107
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,480
I don't know if I've watched that.

108
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,640
I've watched a Godzilla film that had Millie Bobby Brown in it.

109
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,560
Yep so that is King of Monsters.

110
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,080
Okay so I think I've seen that.

111
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,600
I think I've seen that.

112
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,600
Yes.

113
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,200
They're just I think they're all really good.

114
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,440
They do Godzilla beautifully.

115
00:06:52,440 --> 00:07:01,320
I mean the styling of the films, how it looks, the sound, everything I just think is really

116
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,760
good and I think the stories are pretty good.

117
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,120
Bryan Cranston, is he in Millie Bobby Brown 1 too?

118
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,120
He's in the first one.

119
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,480
Okay so I've seen that and I've seen Millie Bobby Brown 1.

120
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,380
So yes, Godzilla 2014 is Bryan Cranston's story.

121
00:07:14,380 --> 00:07:16,720
His wife gets killed.

122
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,840
He's trying to uncover what they're really doing at this nuclear accident which turns

123
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,840
out to be Godzilla.

124
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,720
He finally dies and it's about his son trying to get home and stop Godzilla etc.

125
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:36,840
Then you've got King of Monsters which is Godzilla versus a handful of other monsters,

126
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:43,400
Titans, shouldn't you call them monsters, Titans by their title start appearing and

127
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,600
Godzilla beats them all down and that's the Millie Bobby Brown 1 and it ends in the football

128
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,600
stadium.

129
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Again, really good.

130
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,600
Is that a sequel?

131
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,640
Yes, that's the sequel to the first one.

132
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,760
Then the third sequel I'm guessing should technically be Skull Island because it's about

133
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,000
the discovery of Skull Island.

134
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,480
Well yes, it would be.

135
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,200
So it's about the discovery of Skull Island, the discovery of Kong, the discovery of the

136
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,000
little deaf girl who's part of the Iwi tribe and she's the last survivor.

137
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:20,280
Then you get to Godzilla versus Kong which was surprisingly good.

138
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,360
I don't think I've seen that.

139
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,960
It's got Mechagodzilla in it which is a brilliant addition.

140
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,720
I was not expecting that.

141
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,280
Just thinking it's going to be Kong versus Godzilla, big punch up and then Mechagodzilla

142
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,280
rolls out.

143
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,280
That's pretty cool.

144
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,520
And do they then fight him?

145
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,520
Yeah.

146
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:49,280
Then this final one, it's almost the Kong equivalent of the new Planet of the Apes films.

147
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:56,080
So there's the whole, without going into too much depth and too many spoilers, Hollow Earth

148
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,000
is now known about by the entire world.

149
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,920
So it turns out the earth is hollow and on the inside of the earth is this pretty much

150
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,960
untouched, beautiful land of monsters that man has never set foot in.

151
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,720
How does it get light?

152
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,720
Yeah.

153
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,200
Let's not even go there.

154
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,600
I'm sure it does explain it and I can't remember.

155
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:25,520
But we basically go back there, Kong is there because that's where he chooses to live.

156
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:34,760
And then oopsie daisy, some evil big monkeys manage to escape their prison that Godzilla

157
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:35,960
trapped them in.

158
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:43,120
They also discover the Iwi tribe are actually on the Hollow Earth hidden away in plain sight.

159
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,680
And then basically Kong has to go and get Godzilla to help him come and beat up the

160
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:52,960
bad monkeys and trap them all and stop them from wanting to come and destroy them.

161
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,240
The whole story is that the bad monkeys were locked away by Godzilla many years ago.

162
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:05,600
They are enraged by this because the reason they were trapped away was because they want

163
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,120
to take over the surface.

164
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,040
So when you say look them away, he just closed the hole up.

165
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:20,520
He basically trapped them in a kind of lava filled horrible cave system and that was it.

166
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,680
I'm just trying to think, remember what they said.

167
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:28,720
Basically Kong is the protector, I think Kong was meant to be the protector of nature and

168
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,320
Godzilla was the protector of the overworld.

169
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,120
Or vice versa anyway.

170
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,000
And either way, I've made it sound really boring.

171
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,720
There's a lot of information for two monsters fighting.

172
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,320
Yeah, well it's not two monsters fighting which is really not.

173
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,840
And you know what the whole Godzilla does, turns up at the beginning of the film but

174
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,800
doesn't really turn up much until towards the end when we get the big fight scenes which

175
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,960
Godzilla films just always do really well.

176
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,960
But there is one that actually I might watch with you at some point, I've literally put

177
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,960
it on Amazon and it came up on my TikTok.

178
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,920
TikTok seems to show me some random things, some of them I really don't want to see, other

179
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,160
ones I really want to see and it's called Shin Godzilla.

180
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:23,000
And it will be a completely subtitled film but it's a 2016 film of the origin of Godzilla.

181
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,320
So this weird mass comes out of the ocean and it shows him evolving through the stages

182
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,400
to the Godzilla we know.

183
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,000
And it looks really dark and twisted and it looks really well done as well.

184
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,880
And for six quid on Amazon I thought you know that's worth a punt.

185
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:40,880
Yeah.

186
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:41,880
What have I done?

187
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,880
Hell divers.

188
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:43,880
Two obviously.

189
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,880
Fallout.

190
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:45,880
Yeah.

191
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,880
And I've watched some Discovery.

192
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,640
Oh yes Discovery is back.

193
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,960
Discovery is back and it's good so far.

194
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,960
Nice.

195
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,720
I know I'm doing it in a funny voice, there's no caveat to that.

196
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,640
It's extremely cinematic that first episode, it's like watching a film.

197
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,640
Right.

198
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,640
Just so much action.

199
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:11,880
But you know what that's kind of what, if you told me or asked me sorry to say what

200
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:17,800
did you think the style of Discovery was, is it more TV episode, is it more film?

201
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,040
I would say everything I've watched has been more film like.

202
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,040
Yeah.

203
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,240
If I was going to take Strange New Worlds and say Discovery, Strange New Worlds feels

204
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:36,880
like what Star Trek is, episodic, next gen, that kind of stuff but just you know.

205
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,040
Back to the beginning almost.

206
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,040
Yeah we're going episodic.

207
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,960
We've got a couple of storylines that are ongoing but on the most part each episode

208
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,480
is just a new day in the world of the Enterprise.

209
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:55,160
Whereas Discovery is very much a streaming service idea of what Star Trek is.

210
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,640
Because Netflix started it didn't they?

211
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:58,640
Yeah.

212
00:12:58,640 --> 00:12:59,640
Or it was on Netflix.

213
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,920
Yeah so Paramount created it but it first originated on Netflix because Paramount Plus

214
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,200
didn't exist at that point.

215
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,400
But you can tell.

216
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,440
Right.

217
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,080
Just staring at the machine.

218
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,680
I know just making sure it is actually recording.

219
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:17,360
It's recording the red numbers are going up.

220
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,640
Yeah sorry I'm so used to having it in front of me and I was looking at it and I'm sure

221
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,480
the screen changes and I can see the red dot now so don't worry.

222
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,920
Really feeling full of panic.

223
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:36,800
So yeah it feels because every episode literally Lisa next, Lisa next, Lisa next and yeah it

224
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:43,040
does have you know episode, episode so it does kind of solidify a story in each one

225
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,560
but it's driven by the overall story.

226
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:51,400
Yeah so each season it's its own dedicated storyline isn't it really.

227
00:13:51,400 --> 00:14:00,000
Whether it's the initial Klingon war that they're going on about through to like you

228
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,680
say with this season and is it the progenitors?

229
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:06,160
Yes I text you didn't I?

230
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:12,120
You did text me yes but it's not ruining it for me because I again maintain I don't really

231
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,640
care about discoveries.

232
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,200
Not that I'm going to say I hate it because that's an unfair thing to say and I need to

233
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,560
give it more of a chance but it's just more I don't really mind knowing spoilers for it.

234
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,960
From my perspective of it it's a shame in my opinion it took four seasons to get to

235
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,960
what I was called quite uncalled good.

236
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,960
Right.

237
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,160
I really had to force the third series down me.

238
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,880
I had no interest in watching it at all and my wife was like let's watch it please because

239
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,200
she really liked it.

240
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,200
Okay.

241
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,600
I just stuck with it and I'm glad I did because I really think season four is so good.

242
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:52,560
But you know what it's we've said it before it's turf we've already treaded many times

243
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,560
before.

244
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Treaded?

245
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,560
Tread many times before.

246
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:04,600
And that is discovery will be some one Star Trek just like episode one Star Wars was someone

247
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,600
Star Wars.

248
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,600
Mine.

249
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,000
Rogue one was someone Star Wars.

250
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,360
That is the truth about it really.

251
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,320
It might not be made for traditional Trek heads they may enjoy it but on the most part

252
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,680
it's been designed for a new market to try and keep the Star Trek name going.

253
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,680
Yeah.

254
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,200
And in which case your wife is a prime example.

255
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,320
I know she loved Star Trek anyway or she enjoyed Star Trek but the fact that she enjoyed all

256
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:36,400
the seasons of it shows that it was made more towards her than you and it's taken you that

257
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:41,080
much longer to get into it because of how it has been.

258
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,240
That's not a negative that's just saying different markets exist.

259
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:50,760
Different people are out there and you can't just attune one series or one show to one

260
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,760
type of person.

261
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:57,160
Because you'll never have any movement you'll never have any new fans or old fans because

262
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,160
it'll get sterile it'll get boring and see you later.

263
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,360
And there are a lot of people out there that don't want Lower Decks to end.

264
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Bastards.

265
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,360
Entrance log.

266
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,360
Star date 28544.2.

267
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:17,400
Maybe I need to find out where the moisture comes from to find out where it goes.

268
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:26,320
Engineering still aren't returning my calls.

269
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,320
Entrance log.

270
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Star date 29935.6.

271
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,520
Working theories where the moisture comes from.

272
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:40,240
A. It's hydrogen collected from space and liquefied through science in the ship.

273
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,400
Or B. The replicator makes the water.

274
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,200
Still not sure where the moisture goes.

275
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,720
After my testing I was able to spray water pistols, water bombs and buckets of water

276
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,640
through the arch.

277
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,520
And my clothes stayed wet going through the arch.

278
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:05,320
And they left moisture all up the floor as I left the arch and out of the holodeck.

279
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,920
Make-divines weren't entirely happy but I still think it was a very very important experiment

280
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,000
and I'm sure the captain would agree.

281
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,920
Accessing library computer data.

282
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,600
The Next Generation Season 5 Episode 16 Ethics.

283
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,600
Ethics.

284
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:26,600
Ethics.

285
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:32,080
So before we get so crazy into it, did you like it?

286
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,920
First of all, it's a pretty dark episode.

287
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:46,560
As much as Star Trek is dark I guess, the whole idea of it being around a cultural choice

288
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:55,960
and because of an injury wanting to die, mixed with the side story of I'm a doctor but by

289
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:02,160
the way I'm also just testing all of my theories on live patients without real permission,

290
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,600
makes it just a little bit darker than most Star Trek episodes are of that era.

291
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:13,200
So I mean we haven't got to Deep Space Nine yet, Deep Space Nine has some very dark stuff.

292
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,880
For TNG this is probably one of the darker episodes.

293
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:18,880
I like it.

294
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,880
I liked it.

295
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:26,200
I really enjoy Ethics as an episode and it goes hand in hand with what I tell people

296
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,400
is Season 5 is probably one of the best seasons of The Next Generation.

297
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,400
Yeah, when I was going through it, because I couldn't remember what season or episode

298
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,160
number it was but I remembered it was called Ethics, so I just literally went to the first

299
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,520
episode on the Paramount app on the Apple TV and just made my way through and saw the

300
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,720
little pictures of every single one all the way up to then.

301
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,800
By the time we got to Season 4 and 5 they looked really like the graphics of the pictures

302
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,280
looked really good.

303
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,200
Don't forget though what we're watching is the remastered versions.

304
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,640
And you can tell because I'm making it.

305
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,040
All the screens have been redone, the outside, the panics have all been redone.

306
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,480
You can tell in this episode.

307
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,480
Oh yeah.

308
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,640
Yeah, there's a couple of moments but we'll get to that.

309
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:13,840
So essentially, just to summarise what happens in this episode, there is an accident and

310
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:21,480
the lightest barrel you've ever seen in the world manages to crush the security man, Worf.

311
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,320
Probably the biggest pussy on the rocket enterprise.

312
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,240
You can't call him Worf.

313
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,240
Yes you can.

314
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,240
Yeah, to be fair.

315
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:36,520
He waves his torpedo around but as soon as he hasn't got his torpedo to hand, he just

316
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,400
gets beaten up.

317
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:47,960
And so he becomes paralysed and part of their culture, I've written down what it's called

318
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,800
but we'll get there, is that when they're not useful to their family or they can't fight

319
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,640
whatever, they have to kill themselves.

320
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,280
And it needs to be a family member that does it.

321
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:02,880
So not really killing themselves, we're actually getting a family member to kill them.

322
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:08,040
But it's all about him trying to get people to kill him and then another doctor comes

323
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:13,240
on the spaceship and she's like a researcher and she has this newfangled way.

324
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,080
Well she's a neuro specialist.

325
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:23,520
So she specialises in neurological and neuro based injuries.

326
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,100
So spinal cord, brain injuries, stroke, you name it, those sort of injuries.

327
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:30,520
And she wants to fix him.

328
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,760
We'll get into the rest of it but that's basically the summary of what it is.

329
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,100
Yeah, 100%.

330
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:41,360
So it has a really unfortunate start in that they start talking about fucking poker.

331
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:42,600
Oh I know.

332
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:48,120
So first of all, Troy is crepit bluffing, well that doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

333
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:51,680
Even though she's the one that's basically reading everyone's mind going he's happy,

334
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,800
he's happy, he's happy, that means I've got a good hand, I won't play this hand.

335
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:02,240
And also, as we said, Geordie would be doing, he cheats.

336
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,400
Right, okay look, if you've never played poker, you won't understand this.

337
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,480
But even if you've played friendly games of poker with your friends, like we have, we

338
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,200
had Poker Night, we used to love, we've got to have another Poker Night at some point,

339
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,760
just not Star Trek based.

340
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,760
No.

341
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:26,720
But there is a, I guess you'd call it a gentleman's rule there, if everyone basically checks out

342
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,660
and goes nope, I'm not going to carry on, and you take the hand, you're not expected

343
00:21:32,660 --> 00:21:33,720
to show your cards.

344
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,320
You do not have to.

345
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,680
It's your choice and if you choose not to, that's fine.

346
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,680
You can be arsed too.

347
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:39,680
Because yeah, you can be arsed.

348
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:40,840
You can still say no.

349
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:47,160
But unless someone matches your bet, you've got no need to show.

350
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,760
And that's just the gentleman's rule and it means that no one can say were you bluffing,

351
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,560
weren't you bluffing, who knows.

352
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:59,440
Yet, there you go, Geordie, oh, only peek after the hand is finished.

353
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,840
It's a really shitty thing to do.

354
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,280
And he blames Worf for not bringing the cards.

355
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,320
For not bringing cards that aren't susceptible to infrared light.

356
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,040
What a jerk.

357
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,680
Okay, guess what, Geordie, I've got 52 cards.

358
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,160
They're about one metre long now because they're made out of solid titanium.

359
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,160
Fuck you.

360
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,120
Yeah, what a knob.

361
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:25,120
It's really shitty.

362
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:26,120
Yeah.

363
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:27,120
Really shitty.

364
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:28,120
Why did a barrel land on him?

365
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:29,120
He's dead.

366
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,120
No, he would have brushed it off.

367
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,120
Worf's the person you remember.

368
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:34,120
Oh, don't.

369
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:43,760
And that hit, oh, no, a light plastic barrel has bounced off Worf.

370
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,200
The thing is, I'm very familiar with that particular kind of bat.

371
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,480
It's basically a water butt.

372
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,760
They're not heavy.

373
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,520
They're designed for shipping.

374
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,960
So you can put dry goods in them or you can put liquids in them.

375
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,720
But they're designed for you just to pack them, seal them and send them off to a shipping

376
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,720
agent.

377
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,440
It's probably full of something because you see it kind of, I think it's acting like it's

378
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,920
pressurised with something because when it's all coming out, you can see it disforming

379
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,480
with the weight of the one above it.

380
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,200
So I get what they're going for.

381
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,400
It's meant whatever the chemical is that they say, oh, we've got a dangerous leak.

382
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,800
We don't know what's going on.

383
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:23,440
But then there's something about watching people pretend that it's heavy when they try

384
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,000
and move it away, which unsold its heaviness to me.

385
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,920
Yeah, it just didn't work with them.

386
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,240
We have seen it before.

387
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,440
We've seen Riker and Co lifting girdle soft people.

388
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:43,280
And on the most part, they don't do a bad job at making it look heavy.

389
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:48,360
It's when they throw it and it bounces or the polystyrene surroundings that fall on

390
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:50,840
them bounce that it gives it away.

391
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,320
But in this one, it's just so hammed up and overdone.

392
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,840
It's just, it didn't work.

393
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,160
It needed like a sound effect or it needed something.

394
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,800
Boing! Because they weren't selling the weight of it.

395
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,600
The Geordie and whoever the other dude was that was driving it.

396
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,600
There's not.

397
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:15,000
And honestly, they should have cut it when it hit him.

398
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,040
Not hit him, bounces off and then cut.

399
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,160
That little extra second earlier would have sold it way more.

400
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:29,120
Now after that bit, we're then in like the medical bay.

401
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:34,800
Now at this point in time in technology, they can rebuild hearts.

402
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,200
Picard has a fake heart.

403
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,920
He has a, yep, he has a robotic heart.

404
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,520
Now that's complicated.

405
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,520
Absolutely.

406
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,840
Could they not fix this dude's back?

407
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,840
So talking about modern medicine as we are now.

408
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,600
So don't forget artificial hearts exist right now.

409
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,320
There are people that have lived in hospitals and I've gotten one the longest.

410
00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:00,680
I think it was over a year, the longest someone survived with just an artificial heart with

411
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,360
no other heart in their chest.

412
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:08,200
Basically it's a pump and the tubes led out to a box that circulated the blood and it

413
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,240
had a battery and they could walk around, do normal day to day activities with this

414
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,440
saddle bag on basically and that's an artificial heart.

415
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,780
So it exists.

416
00:25:17,780 --> 00:25:25,600
The problem is with the spinal cord is it is a bundle of million, well thousands of

417
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,600
nerves.

418
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:34,360
And as kind of Beverly and Dr. Russell, who we later introduced to say, it's surely the

419
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:42,040
genotropic thing that Russell wants to do is better than just trying to stick nerves

420
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,040
back together.

421
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,200
And that's exactly where we are at the moment.

422
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:53,320
So in current kind of technologies term, what we have is a very special kind of nerve glue

423
00:25:53,320 --> 00:26:01,000
and that's what there's a weird Russian scientist and a Russian paralysed man who's dedicated

424
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,560
his body and his head to science saying, as soon as another body comes up, I'm willing

425
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,200
to let you do a head transplant.

426
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,460
It's ridiculous.

427
00:26:12,460 --> 00:26:19,660
But basically the idea is, is they need, they use the world's sharpest knife to sever, sever

428
00:26:19,660 --> 00:26:25,040
even the spinal column and it's got to be the most perfect cut.

429
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,880
And then they use this glue to basically stick it back together.

430
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,680
And in theory, the glue allows the conductivity between the cut nerves, but that's where we

431
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:35,680
are at the moment.

432
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,480
So you think that many time years in the future, we would have got better at that.

433
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,520
Do they keep his head alive?

434
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:44,520
You know what?

435
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,640
There's all sorts of things you could say there.

436
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,440
Um, yes, you could.

437
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,440
And there's videos for black and white videos from kind of world war two era of rats, heads

438
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,320
being kept alive with blood being pumped to them externally.

439
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,120
Because if you think about it, the brain requires oxygen and blood.

440
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:02,400
That is it really.

441
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:09,460
So as long as the artery in the vein is doing the send and receive and the blood it's receiving

442
00:27:09,460 --> 00:27:14,440
is oxygenated, the brain will stay alive.

443
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,480
It's more the shock of what's happened.

444
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,260
That's probably going to cause damage and kill it.

445
00:27:19,260 --> 00:27:21,680
So you, you, how would you overcome that?

446
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,680
You can't.

447
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:29,280
And, uh, coming back to then the future, yeah, you would have thought they may have improved

448
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,080
on what we already have, but it doesn't seem that they have, has it?

449
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,520
It's very much, we'll just plug some things into you and anyway, we'll get to that.

450
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,760
We're ahead of the game.

451
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:48,600
What I didn't like and it's unusual for Trek, because normally it's much more accepting

452
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:54,600
of things, but I've just got Beverly really shitty with the customs of Klingons at this

453
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,520
point because her words are, Oh, he's just grumpy.

454
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,600
No, he's not grumpy.

455
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:06,960
He's paralyzed and he wants to die because that's his customs of his race.

456
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,040
You're just saying, Oh, he's grumpy.

457
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:15,200
No, he's paralyzed and expecting to die shortly because of that's what he wants.

458
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:21,640
But even if he wasn't a Klingon and was a human, I'd be grumpy too.

459
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,640
Really bad bedside man.

460
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:23,640
I love it.

461
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,640
Not good.

462
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:25,640
It really pissed me off that bit.

463
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,840
I said, I know I don't like that at all.

464
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:34,320
And then of course, then you've got, um, the ship's log.

465
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,360
The wharf has been put on, um, has been taken off active duty.

466
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,360
Yeah.

467
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,040
So I've got here, well, we've said it before.

468
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,640
HR is needed on the enterprise.

469
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,640
Disability awareness.

470
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,160
Anyone wharf's not allowed to work.

471
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,160
What?

472
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,160
They can't get an electric wheelchair.

473
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,160
Yeah.

474
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,680
They can't make, make changes for him, you know, lower his console so he can still fire

475
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:55,680
torpedoes.

476
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,680
Yeah.

477
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,920
So I mean, that was, so we've had the intro, which looked brilliant as always.

478
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:01,920
Yeah.

479
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,920
And then, yeah, Dr. Russell appears.

480
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,920
Yeah.

481
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,960
It's first meeting of Dr. Russell, isn't it?

482
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:08,960
So that's no.

483
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,240
So before Russell agree, uh, arrive, sorry, we've got Riker.

484
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,240
So he's called it.

485
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,200
It goes, it goes intro, then Dr. Russell and then Riker.

486
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,200
Sorry.

487
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,200
Yeah.

488
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,200
So yeah, Dr. Russell now, now Riker.

489
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,200
Yeah.

490
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,400
So we're introduced to Dr. Russell and it's, Oh, hello.

491
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,040
Thank you, I'm the neuro specialist.

492
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:33,360
So why is Dr. Russell there in your opinion?

493
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,960
I think that she's only come there to see war.

494
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,640
I thought that was the point.

495
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,760
Remember that because that's exactly what I'm assuming.

496
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:42,760
It makes sense.

497
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:48,680
She's the specialist neuroscientist in health dedicated to neuro injury.

498
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:49,680
I thought they asked her to come.

499
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,680
I thought that was the point.

500
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,680
Exactly.

501
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,680
Fine.

502
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,680
Okay.

503
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,760
Keep that in mind for after we talk about the next bit with Riker.

504
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:56,760
Okay.

505
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:02,720
One of the things that she says is they haven't done any new research.

506
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:03,720
That comes next.

507
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:04,720
That comes after the Riker.

508
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:05,720
I've written that before Riker.

509
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,080
Oh, because I wrote it in the order of, oh, maybe I've got it in the wrong order.

510
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,000
And then it says normally they let the patient die.

511
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,000
She says, is this the bit that they talk about the Klingon anatomy?

512
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,160
And I've never seen so many redundant systems before or backup systems or is that after

513
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,640
Riker on yours?

514
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,640
That's after Riker.

515
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,640
Okay.

516
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,640
No, you're right.

517
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,280
So yes, they come in.

518
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,560
Beverly says, I've tried to speak to the Klingon health council and whatever.

519
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,840
And they say, normally we just let the person die.

520
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,840
Yeah.

521
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,600
Which again, Bev, you were really shitty earlier.

522
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,480
Even the Klingons have said, we just let them die because...

523
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,320
That's what you and I said in the last episode.

524
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,320
Yeah.

525
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,320
Yeah.

526
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:48,320
Wasn't it?

527
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,080
That they're just, we're going to talk about the spaceship, the Klingon's spaceship.

528
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,400
So just let them die.

529
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,400
Exactly.

530
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:58,760
So you're going to be a doctor serving a multi race on your ship.

531
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:04,800
Surely the Hippocratic oath, which we discussed in the last episode, should include the rights

532
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:10,480
and the customs of your patient of whatever race they are.

533
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:16,720
So if you're not going to follow the Klingon race's wishes, should you be treating them

534
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,060
in the first place?

535
00:31:18,060 --> 00:31:20,380
And we know it exists there, don't we?

536
00:31:20,380 --> 00:31:21,380
We do.

537
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:26,080
And then the Riker appears leaning on a piece of equipment with the symbol on it.

538
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,760
How do you pronounce it?

539
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,760
Cadacus?

540
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,760
Cadacaus symbol?

541
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,760
Yeah.

542
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,760
The Cadessius symbol.

543
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,760
Yeah.

544
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:34,760
Yes.

545
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,760
Which I have tattooed on my arm.

546
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,760
The sword and two snakes.

547
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:37,760
Is that what it is?

548
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:38,760
A sword and two snakes.

549
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:39,760
It's a staff.

550
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:40,760
Staff and two snakes.

551
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,840
Staff, two snakes and normally wings.

552
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:44,840
Yeah.

553
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,360
So we know that they are still using that.

554
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,360
Precisely.

555
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,120
So if you're going to use that, then you're following that.

556
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,120
So yeah.

557
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,320
Do you notice how shit that room was?

558
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,320
To be in for three days.

559
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,640
I want to know what the pink and blue gel was.

560
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:00,640
Oh yeah.

561
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:01,640
Because that's in every room.

562
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,960
Every room in Medi-Bay, there's blue gel, pink gel, blue gel, pink gel.

563
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,520
It's the same gel you get in the haircut.

564
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,080
It's probably in the bloody hairdressers one, isn't it?

565
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,040
They didn't have the room.

566
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,480
So they've just put them in style in St Albans.

567
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,960
Yeah, where's the TV they put your credit card in?

568
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:23,960
There's nothing in there.

569
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,960
No, exactly.

570
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,960
What are you going to do there?

571
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:27,960
You're paralysed.

572
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:28,960
You're laying there.

573
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:29,960
You've got to put...

574
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,960
Beth being shitty.

575
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,960
What else are you going to do?

576
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,160
Why is that going to go over the heads of the Americans that listen to this?

577
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,160
In the UK hospitals, you can get a television and you have to put your credit card in.

578
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,600
I'm sure US hospitals have that as well.

579
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:43,600
The same kind of thing.

580
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,600
I would have thought so.

581
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,000
The amount that poor Americans have to pay, they probably don't get televisions.

582
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,720
I bet they do.

583
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,080
On a ward, I bet you do because then it gets charged you insurance.

584
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,560
Yeah, I guess so.

585
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,000
Well, either way, you're right.

586
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,120
There's no entertainment.

587
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:04,920
But saying that, if you were to watch the entirety of The Next Generation, you would

588
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:11,240
assume the only entertainment available to them is Data playing violin, reading poetry

589
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,240
or Riker on the trombone in 10 Forward.

590
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,760
That's all it seems to ever be.

591
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,160
No one ever goes, no, I'm just going to go back to my quarters.

592
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,280
I'm going to watch something on the view screen and get an early night.

593
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,280
You don't get any of that.

594
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,480
Oh, Picard listens to music, sorry, in his quarters.

595
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,480
Going to go watch EastEnders.

596
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,960
Does that still be going, won't it?

597
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,320
Yeah, it will still be as miserable as ever.

598
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,640
Kat Slater is back for the 300th time.

599
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:39,640
Yeah, Kat Slater.

600
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,880
It's just her head in a jar like in Futurama.

601
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:49,200
There in Alfie Moon at the pub.

602
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,680
The ceremony is called Hekbar.

603
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,240
Ah, the headbutt.

604
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,240
Yeah, Hekbar.

605
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,240
Hekbar.

606
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,240
Hekbar ceremony.

607
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,240
Yeah.

608
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,240
Yeah.

609
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:58,240
And you know what?

610
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,960
I actually fully understand Riker's position on this.

611
00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:06,280
And I like what they do with this part of the story, with him being challenged about

612
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,120
his feelings towards doing it.

613
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:14,160
Because I don't think anyone should have, if it's not being against someone's culture

614
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,680
not to do something that you don't agree with.

615
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:28,680
So for example, if I didn't agree with, oh, what could we say?

616
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,600
What's the type of meat that...

617
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:32,600
Halal.

618
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,600
Halal.

619
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:39,960
If I didn't agree with halal meat and someone said, oh, have a kebab, it's halal.

620
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,760
I wouldn't feel bad about saying, I don't agree with halal, so I won't have it.

621
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,120
Thank you very much for offering though, but I'm not going to.

622
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,560
Now obviously I'm not against halal.

623
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:49,560
Meat is meat.

624
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,560
It's delicious.

625
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:51,560
I love a kebab.

626
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:58,240
But there is nothing wrong with someone saying, I don't agree with it, so I'm not going to

627
00:34:58,240 --> 00:34:59,240
participate.

628
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:04,640
There's something wrong with you saying, I don't agree with it and I think you're a horrible

629
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,760
person and I wish you would die because of it.

630
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,160
That's a completely different thing.

631
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:14,080
And what we get here is Riker basically saying, I don't agree with your culture here, Worf.

632
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,400
I'm your friend.

633
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,160
I want you to see, I will be sad if you die.

634
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,240
I don't think I can do this.

635
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:29,680
It's like he needs to, like Riker I think should be a little bit more understanding to Worf,

636
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:35,720
but then Worf should accept Riker's position on it because Worf knows that Riker is a human

637
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:37,880
and this is not his culture.

638
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,760
And from Riker's point of view, he'd be murdering his friend.

639
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:47,840
And you would think Worf would understand that more being brought up by human parents.

640
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:52,200
You'd think he'd understand more about the human culture and the human sensitivities

641
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:57,040
to something like euthanasia.

642
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,040
But he doesn't.

643
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:04,080
He's being stoic and typical blunt Klingon, I guess.

644
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,400
But yeah, I kind of understand Riker's position on this one.

645
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,840
And when later when he's seeing Picard, we'll talk about it when we get there.

646
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,200
Not sure I liked that bit much.

647
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:21,620
I was back and forward with who I agreed with throughout the episode, based on how they

648
00:36:21,620 --> 00:36:24,160
spoke about it and how they reacted to each other.

649
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,600
Yeah, I mean, just throwing it out there, and I know this is meant to be a fun comedy

650
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:35,080
podcast, but it's okay to have a differing opinion on things.

651
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:41,460
And for example, for me, euthanasia, I think it should be legalized.

652
00:36:41,460 --> 00:36:43,480
Not wanting to get political or anything like that.

653
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:49,680
But for me as a person, I think if you're compos mentis, you're dying of something fairly

654
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:56,040
horrendous and you want to say, I want to end it while I'm comfortable and able to do

655
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,040
so.

656
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,280
I don't think that's that's a bad thing.

657
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,000
I think that should be absolutely allowed.

658
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,960
I don't agree with people saying, oh, but if you allow euthanasia, then random people

659
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,920
are just going to say, well, I want to die.

660
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,120
So I'll go and do it.

661
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,600
No, that's a completely different matter.

662
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,340
And that's the story we're getting here, aren't we?

663
00:37:13,340 --> 00:37:19,560
Should wharf be entitled to euthanasia based on his culture and what his race would do?

664
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,440
Now, absolutely, he should.

665
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:27,760
But his former euthanasia is having somebody else kill him, which is not the same.

666
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,760
It becomes a very sticky situation.

667
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,840
And that's my point.

668
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:36,880
It's okay to have a differing opinion on something, especially when you can actually put an argument

669
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,960
in place to explain why.

670
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,400
But in this case, yes, wharf is entitled to euthanasia.

671
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,240
He's not entitled to make someone that's a different race, a completely different culture

672
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,760
to take a dagger and shove it through his heart.

673
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,440
I think it's one of those things where his brain is still there, but he's not physically

674
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,720
able to do it himself.

675
00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:59,600
Again, I would disagree with that.

676
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,600
His arms are working.

677
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,840
What does that mean?

678
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,120
But by culture, it says he has to have someone else do it for him.

679
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,120
That's the difference.

680
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:15,400
Otherwise, it's suicide and many cultures see suicide or not even cultures see suicide

681
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,400
as cowardly.

682
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:23,120
We're not even going to get into that one because it is bullshit.

683
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:28,000
But you could go down a whole discussion point on that and that's for another day, another

684
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,000
whole different thing.

685
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,400
That is someone else's podcast.

686
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,400
Yeah, exactly.

687
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:39,080
So we're now looking at Dr. Russell and Troy looking at a really great CGI floating spinal

688
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,080
cord.

689
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,080
Beverly you mean?

690
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,080
Beverly.

691
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,080
What did I say?

692
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,080
Troy.

693
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,080
But no, you're right.

694
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,080
Sorry, I'm really horrible about Troy.

695
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,080
I just said fuck that.

696
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,080
I didn't mean it.

697
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,080
Sorry.

698
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,080
That really angered me in this episode.

699
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:55,720
And out of all the episodes, this is the bit that I hated the most with it being written

700
00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:58,120
in it existing.

701
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:06,600
There's parts in the episode I don't like, i.e. I don't like that some of the dark side

702
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,680
of what Russell is doing, but that's not I don't like the episode.

703
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,840
It makes me feel ick because of what she is doing.

704
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:14,840
That's fine.

705
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:15,840
That's different.

706
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,120
I don't like how they wrote this.

707
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,120
She's there.

708
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,560
Oh, I've never seen this before.

709
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,840
And they're looking at the diagrams and everything and saying about, look at all the redundant

710
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,040
systems and so on.

711
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,200
It's almost as if it's the first time she's even bothered to look at Klingon anatomy.

712
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,960
So yeah, you've been called specifically to come and deal with the Klingon.

713
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,400
Would you not do pre reading at this point?

714
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,200
Yeah, you'd think they'd know this.

715
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,200
How many Klingons?

716
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,200
They've had wars with them.

717
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,560
Did they not take any of their bodies and just die?

718
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,480
Well, poke at them a little bit and have a look.

719
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:52,400
Well, no, but you'd think if you've got a Klingon in your service, you should have as

720
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,240
much medical knowledge as you are.

721
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:59,080
It's almost like Russell arrives on the ship with no real knowledge and she's like expecting

722
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,880
to be able to walk her through the systems that exist.

723
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:09,200
Now the redundancy has a name and it is a Bracklow.

724
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,280
Oh, Bracklow.

725
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,080
Every vital function has a built in redundancy.

726
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,080
Now then.

727
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,080
Nice.

728
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,080
I didn't catch that.

729
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:21,880
I have written down the extra things that they have because she says what they are.

730
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:22,880
Oh, right.

731
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:23,880
Okay.

732
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:24,880
Oh, go on.

733
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,000
What would you do if I said no?

734
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,280
Shall we play a game?

735
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,840
How many ribs has a Klingon got TJ?

736
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:36,840
26.

737
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:37,840
27.

738
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,000
Oh, no, just a bit less.

739
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Oh, was it?

740
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,000
23.

741
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Oh, shit.

742
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,040
Was it an odd number too?

743
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:54,560
Because I would imagine they've probably gone with the whole religious aspect that lots

744
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:59,080
of people believe that men have an uneven number of ribs compared to women because of

745
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,640
Adam's rib was removed to make a woman.

746
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,280
We have the same number of ribs.

747
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,640
Then again though, wasn't he quite, was he religious though?

748
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,760
I don't know actually.

749
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:11,760
I don't know.

750
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,240
I'm not going to answer that one.

751
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:17,000
How many livers?

752
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Two.

753
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Yay.

754
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,800
How many chambers in his heart?

755
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:21,800
Eight.

756
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:22,800
Yay.

757
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:23,800
You did remember.

758
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:24,800
So you were missing.

759
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:25,800
Yeah, there are some things I was paying attention to.

760
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:30,760
He has a double lined neuro-pia-mata.

761
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:31,760
What is that?

762
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,280
It's the lining on the outside of the brain.

763
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:35,280
Right.

764
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,280
It's double lined.

765
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:41,240
Which basically, so you've got the skull but then you've got various layers of tissue between

766
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:45,800
the fluid that protects your brain and the brain itself.

767
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:51,160
For example, you couldn't just get a buzz saw, cut the top of someone's skull open like

768
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,560
you do in films and just see brain.

769
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:54,560
That's not true.

770
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,680
You'd lift the skull cap off and then you'd have a layer of tissue that you'd have to

771
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,080
then cut through and reveal and there's the brain.

772
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:02,080
They do that in Hannibal.

773
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,840
He removes the tissue out of it.

774
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:04,840
There we go.

775
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,400
So he's been double bagged.

776
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,400
Yeah.

777
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,400
Gotcha.

778
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,400
For the rest of us.

779
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:15,120
Worse brain is double bagged.

780
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,960
We get lots of Star Trek stuff happens.

781
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:18,960
Loads of Trek talk.

782
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:19,960
It's brilliant.

783
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:20,960
Yeah.

784
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:21,960
Genetronic replicator.

785
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:22,960
What a great name.

786
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:23,960
Genetronic is a great word.

787
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:24,960
Great, great word.

788
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:33,800
Now, I would say, she says, oh, in our kind of hollow tests, it's been 37%.

789
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,240
I know.

790
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:37,240
Even that is a shit.

791
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:43,680
It reminded me so much of when Kim said, we'll give it a try with the transporter.

792
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:44,680
100%.

793
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:51,000
Again, as much as I don't like how Russell goes about things, she's kind of also right,

794
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,000
isn't she?

795
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Yeah.

796
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,920
It does have to eventually be attempted on a person.

797
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:56,920
Yeah.

798
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,880
But I get, where do you draw the line?

799
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:08,380
If after, let's say, 1000 tests, you've still only scored a maximum of 37%, do you just say,

800
00:43:08,380 --> 00:43:09,440
it's just not a...

801
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,060
It's just not there.

802
00:43:11,060 --> 00:43:14,680
It's just not something that's ever going to work, therefore, no.

803
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:19,560
Or do you say, there's a fundamental problem with it being the hologram, as in the human

804
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,920
body or a humanoid body is always going to be ever so slightly different that a computer

805
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:28,960
cannot replicate, so we have to try it on a real person just to show that actually,

806
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,680
yeah, the hologram's right, it failed, we definitely won't try it again.

807
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,840
So you're kind of stuck in that point.

808
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,800
I kind of get that, yes, she's partly right.

809
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:44,960
She just needs to get out of her own head and stop being so fixated on the way she's

810
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,400
doing it and look at, what am I actually doing wrong?

811
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,920
There could just be something that's not right.

812
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,880
But why is there all this urgency about it?

813
00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,480
I know, obviously, Worf wants to kill himself, but they've immediately contacted Starfleet,

814
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:07,040
they've immediately sent out Dr. Russell, but if I was Dr. Russell, I'd say, I'll be

815
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:12,520
there, but I want you to send me over all of Worf's medical logs, I want you to scan

816
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,800
his body completely, put him through the transport and bring him back, let's say.

817
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,400
That'll probably fix it for him.

818
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,160
Look, we've got the old spinal cord on record, we'll just scan that.

819
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,080
Oh yeah, it's like you with a buffer, saving everyone's backup.

820
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:30,520
Exactly, but yeah, what you would do is you'd send all that data over, so then Dr. Ruskin

821
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:37,040
would say, right, scrub the hologram, the hollow sweet stuff we've been doing, we've now got

822
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:42,040
a new test subject data and bring that in, because all the test subjects she's been doing

823
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:50,280
it on have just been humans, yet she's expecting it to translate to Klingon, which why?

824
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,280
Why will it?

825
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,880
There's no guarantee there.

826
00:44:53,880 --> 00:45:01,640
It's like saying, I know how to remove the spleen of a dog, so I'm going to wing it, hoping

827
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,560
that it's pretty much the same for a cat.

828
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:09,080
No, the likelihood is it probably will be, but you still wouldn't risk it.

829
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:15,280
You'd still do the research into it first before you would say, let's try implementing

830
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,840
it.

831
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:22,040
I know it's for the episode, I know they have to do it because you couldn't just say, well

832
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,560
off's now paralyzed for 10 episodes and then we'll bring Dr. Russell back.

833
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:32,720
I understand that, but it doesn't sit right, does it, that you basically say, we brought

834
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:38,080
them in, they want to try this brand new thing that's never been tested or works, but we've

835
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,680
only ever tested it on human.

836
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,680
It's just, yeah.

837
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:43,680
Yeah.

838
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,600
She was woefully unprepared, wasn't she?

839
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:48,600
Absolutely.

840
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,320
100% woefully unprepared.

841
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:52,960
Yeah, didn't turn up with the pre-reading.

842
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:58,680
I was surprised she even knew what a Klingon was by how she fucking is.

843
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:03,560
Then we cut to the ready room and Vryka is angry.

844
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:12,400
No, no, we get the bridge first because they call the Beverly to the bridge, Beverly.

845
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,680
I was like, she's leaning against the door frame when the door opens.

846
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:23,440
And Picard basically says transporter has been hit by a gravimetric mine left over from

847
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,080
the Kardashian war.

848
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,040
That was damn Kardashian.

849
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,040
Sorry, Kardashian.

850
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,400
I know I'm ripping the piss.

851
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,800
Yeah, from the Kardashian war, how many people are on board?

852
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,240
Well, normally it's a crew of 23, I think he says.

853
00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:37,840
No, it might be a crew of 26, actually.

854
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:43,240
It might be where I got 26 from, but actually it had 517 colonists on board as well.

855
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:48,120
I'll need all three shuttle bays and off she goes and all the civilians that have got medical

856
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:49,800
training must go there.

857
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,400
So I've got, yeah, if you've got your first aid at work badge, get to the shuttle bay

858
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:54,400
please.

859
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,640
Can you imagine St. John in the future must make a mint.

860
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,680
Yeah, you're going to be red and black tagging everyone.

861
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,720
Every person on the Enterprise has a little first aid certificate, green certificate with

862
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:03,240
the St. John logo.

863
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:07,320
They've done their one day EFA course.

864
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,560
And then yes, Vryka says, can I speak to you in your waiting room?

865
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:12,560
That's it.

866
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:13,560
You're so shouty.

867
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,280
And he's shouty straight away, isn't he?

868
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:16,280
Yeah, he's angry.

869
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,960
Yeah, I've got Vryka, stop shouting.

870
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,000
I know you're angry, but Jesus.

871
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,000
I felt it really jarring.

872
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,760
Has a few times Star Trek's done that, they'll do jump cuts and be right in the middle of

873
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,080
an argument or something.

874
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:29,080
Oh, okay, right.

875
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,280
We're in the thick of a conversation here that I wasn't quite ready for.

876
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,280
Yeah.

877
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,000
But this is where I felt uncomfortable.

878
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:41,280
Vryka has explained his position and Picard's just sat there with a bit of a shit eater

879
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:46,960
grid on his face going, we've got to understand from Worf's position.

880
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,160
I think you should consider doing it.

881
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,280
Well, Picard, why don't you go and stab him then?

882
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,760
I think that...

883
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:59,760
I think I write later on, the way Picard is in this episode.

884
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:00,920
It's odd.

885
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:07,720
He's very... he's really making people make the decisions that he wants them to do without

886
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:10,120
telling them to make those decisions.

887
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:15,400
He's being a manipulative captain a little bit, really subtly.

888
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:21,280
So he plays devil's advocate in every situation that he's in with them.

889
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:26,800
And with the doctor later, basically gets her to do exactly what he wants without ever

890
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,840
telling her that's what he really wants her to do or that she should do it.

891
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:30,840
So does that make sense?

892
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:31,840
Yeah, 100%.

893
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,480
And kind of the same with this one.

894
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:38,680
He does make Vryka think again and more about it than just go for the hot headed instantly

895
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,720
know where we know what Vryka's decision is at the end anyway without even watching the

896
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:43,720
episode.

897
00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:49,360
But he makes him go back and think about it just by doing a bit of devil's advocate.

898
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,440
And I didn't mind Picard in this scene.

899
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:56,080
I actually thought, no, he's doing the right thing to kind of get into Vryka.

900
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,280
By the end of it, I didn't mind it so much.

901
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:03,160
But the start of it, I just felt really much like you're not listening to Vryka at all.

902
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,520
You're just saying your friend wants to kill himself.

903
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,440
You should go and do it, Will.

904
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,080
He's got what I got from it.

905
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,160
I didn't quite feel he basically does say that.

906
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:18,320
But I think it's more like what he's saying is from our perspective, he's just told you

907
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:19,320
he wants you to kill him.

908
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:25,480
But from his perspective, you are his most trusted friend in the entire world.

909
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:26,720
And it's very important to him.

910
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:28,240
And he's chosen you.

911
00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:34,240
So don't just so flippantly just disregard it so aggressively as you have done.

912
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:40,600
Go back and explain to him exactly why you can't do it because it's your culture to not

913
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:41,600
want to do it.

914
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:46,040
I felt that's more how Picard was trying to play it rather than saying, no, go back and

915
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,040
do it.

916
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,920
I don't like because Picard doesn't want his security officer to die.

917
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:49,920
Of course he doesn't.

918
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:50,920
I hope he doesn't.

919
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,000
But then again, they might save a few torpedoes.

920
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Not every day having to shout a wharf going wharf.

921
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,840
Don't take your finger off the button.

922
00:49:58,840 --> 00:49:59,840
Wharf.

923
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:00,840
No.

924
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:01,840
They're civilians.

925
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,360
Okay.

926
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:06,400
You know what?

927
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:07,400
You've swung me on that.

928
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,920
I kind of understand that.

929
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:15,480
But then we're thrown into another really big conversation that there's so many points

930
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,920
in this episode we could spend hours talking about.

931
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:27,200
And as much as I don't like the Alexander character, this is a hard episode for me because

932
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,780
I feel for him throughout all of this.

933
00:50:29,780 --> 00:50:35,720
And it's a really strong point that not many people try and make, which is the child who

934
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:39,000
doesn't care about what the culture is.

935
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,200
He's young.

936
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,320
All he cares about is his dad.

937
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,000
His mom's already dead.

938
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,000
He just wants to his dad and be with his dad and get his dad to be okay.

939
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,680
Was his mom human?

940
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,240
She was half human, half Klingon.

941
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:53,240
Right.

942
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:54,240
Okay.

943
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:55,240
Yeah.

944
00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:58,200
And they had angry sex, which made him.

945
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:04,880
But it's a really kind of...

946
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,300
As a parent, it was hard to hear because you know what?

947
00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:11,020
We don't have a religion in the household.

948
00:51:11,020 --> 00:51:13,640
We don't follow anything.

949
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:22,480
But I would hate K or T to kind of wake up in the morning and be told, oh, your dad doesn't

950
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:29,280
want to see you because this thing is stopping you from seeing him based on what they believe.

951
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:34,160
It's horrible because as a kid, they just want their parent.

952
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:41,320
So a really horrible moment that part, basically saying, no, he doesn't want to see you.

953
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:42,320
Yeah.

954
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,480
I think then Troy goes to see Seawolf, doesn't she?

955
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,800
And I think she's a bitch to him.

956
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,600
I'm never nice to Troy in this show.

957
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,400
I don't know why, but she just...

958
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:51,680
The episodes we've chosen, she's not.

959
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,880
One of my least favourite characters from there.

960
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:59,520
But okay, you're going, you're doing exactly what I did though.

961
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,920
I didn't like Picard because I felt that he was going to be really harsh against Riker.

962
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,520
He was just airing his wishes.

963
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,100
Now you don't like Troy because she's going in and being a bitch to Worf.

964
00:52:09,100 --> 00:52:13,440
But realistically, she's trying to get Worf to see from the other point of view, which

965
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,320
is what Picard was doing to Riker.

966
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:16,440
Yeah, that's it.

967
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,040
I just think she doesn't go about it in the same way.

968
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:23,720
She just gets into the fact, Andy, she's a bit of a twat.

969
00:52:23,720 --> 00:52:27,960
I am with her, but not how she said it.

970
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:33,520
But knowing Worf as a character, that's probably the only way you're going to get through to

971
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:34,520
him, isn't it?

972
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:39,000
You can't have a nice lovey-dovey long winded conversation about it.

973
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,160
He'll just shut off and say, fuck off.

974
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:48,200
And now they've got the Doxa and Russell are there.

975
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,920
And they start giving him his options.

976
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,640
Oh yeah, you might get 60 to 70 percent of your movement back.

977
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,400
Yeah, and he's not happy with that, is he?

978
00:52:55,400 --> 00:53:00,920
I don't want to be the freak Klingon lurching the corridors.

979
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,120
I think that's brilliant.

980
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:04,280
I don't blame you.

981
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,440
And then obviously Dr Russell jumps in and is like, let's do this.

982
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:08,880
Oh, Bev's death stare.

983
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:14,280
Oh, she was fucking annoyed.

984
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,080
I bet Picard's seen that a few times.

985
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,800
Yeah, she was upset.

986
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,560
Yeah, but she acted it really well.

987
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:30,640
I've got to say, Beverly as an actress is brilliant in The Next Generation.

988
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:34,280
How she conveys her emotion on set.

989
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,280
I think she's wonderful.

990
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:41,560
Not so wonderful in the ghost sex episode, but that's a whole very special episode.

991
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,960
I don't know, there's so many I haven't seen.

992
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,880
I've seen so much Star Trek and there's so much I haven't seen.

993
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,480
Oh yeah, the whole Irish sex ghost episode is very...

994
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,280
I think that's season five too.

995
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:55,960
It's a very odd episode.

996
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,640
With a really pale dude.

997
00:53:58,640 --> 00:53:59,640
I can't remember.

998
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,640
I think it's season five too.

999
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:07,160
Anyway, sorry, so you've got death stare from Bev.

1000
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,720
Then they go back to the medical bay and have an argument.

1001
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:13,000
And they're right in each other's face.

1002
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,640
They did the close up four by three filmed scene.

1003
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,400
I was like, I hope they've both had a breath mint.

1004
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:19,840
Because they were right.

1005
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,160
No one does that.

1006
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:27,920
I don't like bureaucracy normally, but when it comes to medicine, Bev's kind of right

1007
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:28,920
there.

1008
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,960
Yes, bureaucracy sucks, but it's there for a fucking reason.

1009
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:39,000
If you haven't done all the paperwork, all the trials, all the tests, you can't guarantee

1010
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,040
what you're going to do.

1011
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,240
Including her bedside manner.

1012
00:54:43,240 --> 00:54:48,160
Well, not so much bedside, but the way she talks about Wolf by his back is actually what

1013
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:49,680
I mean.

1014
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,160
She's actually right the entire episode.

1015
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,200
Out of everybody.

1016
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:58,120
She's actually the sane one in the whole thing with the correct way of doing it.

1017
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,560
They just think she's a bit of a knobby on his back, calling him grumpy all the time.

1018
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,840
She's not actually thinking about...

1019
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,840
He might actually be upset.

1020
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,760
Didn't the EMH learn more about how to handle patients than she does?

1021
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,000
Yes, break her back and see how grumpy she is.

1022
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:18,440
And then we get to see what Trek is really good at.

1023
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:19,440
Burn victims.

1024
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:20,800
Oh God.

1025
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:26,480
The makeup that they do for like phaser burns and stuff, because it's like a triage.

1026
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,000
They're just really good.

1027
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,400
The makeup teams in Trek always do a really good job.

1028
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:32,680
And particularly good at...

1029
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,440
They're really good at wounds.

1030
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:42,120
Not so much random bits of blood, as we... I think was it the Jallad episode?

1031
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:43,120
Was it with the pigmen?

1032
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:44,120
Oh, Darmok.

1033
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:45,120
Darmok, yeah.

1034
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:46,120
When there was some blood on.

1035
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:50,280
I was like, just don't put the blood on because it ruined it, if you remember.

1036
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,280
Yeah, absolutely.

1037
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,160
Shuck her when the walls fell.

1038
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,280
This one, completely different.

1039
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,960
All of the makeup looked brilliant, all those people that were over there.

1040
00:55:59,960 --> 00:56:00,960
Yeah.

1041
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:01,960
And then I've got...

1042
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,800
Jesus, she's testing on everyone.

1043
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:04,800
Fuck me, she's evil.

1044
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,480
Yeah, I was calling her Dr. Frankenstein.

1045
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,520
She's just so matter of fact about it.

1046
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:10,520
Yeah, he's dead.

1047
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:11,880
Oh, did this not work?

1048
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,400
Oh, he was allergic to that.

1049
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,000
Oh, so this didn't work.

1050
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,000
That's unusual.

1051
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,880
Oh no, I decided to try something I've been working on.

1052
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:19,880
Yeah.

1053
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,720
Again, it's like Kim saying, let's just give it a try, shall we?

1054
00:56:23,720 --> 00:56:24,720
Yeah.

1055
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:25,720
It's really dark.

1056
00:56:25,720 --> 00:56:26,720
Yeah.

1057
00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:27,720
And then she just relieves, doesn't she?

1058
00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:28,720
Well, yeah.

1059
00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:29,720
She's...

1060
00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:30,720
Yeah.

1061
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:32,920
Where am I?

1062
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:33,920
Fuck you, Russell.

1063
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:34,920
Bev drops the hammer.

1064
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:35,920
Yeah.

1065
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:37,680
Get out of my shuttle bay and medical.

1066
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:38,680
Get out of my pub.

1067
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:39,680
Get out of my pub.

1068
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:40,680
With pleasure.

1069
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,880
You're not performing medicine here anymore.

1070
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:45,880
Yeah.

1071
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:50,800
Yeah, so she kind of bans her from doing any medical work on the Enterprise, which as Chief

1072
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,360
Medical Officer, she's got the right to.

1073
00:56:54,360 --> 00:57:00,200
And I'm pretty sure she would be stripped of all medical rights at that point.

1074
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:01,640
I think that point, that's it.

1075
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,440
But surely it's like you deal with the incident and then you'd go and speak to Starfleet and

1076
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,320
say, this is what she's done.

1077
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,600
And the medical council would be like, well, we need to convene and we need to decide what

1078
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:11,720
her punishment's going to be.

1079
00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:14,400
I was wondering if she had some kind of...

1080
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,720
What's the word I'm looking for?

1081
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,700
Dispensation, is that the word?

1082
00:57:18,700 --> 00:57:24,120
From Starfleet to do certain things that normally the other doctors wouldn't be allowed to do.

1083
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:28,040
Just because they called her in, she does these kind of research things.

1084
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,840
She didn't have any remorse for that person dying.

1085
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:31,840
None at all.

1086
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:32,840
She just did her thing.

1087
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:38,600
And that's what makes this episode so dark, is that you've just got this doctor who's

1088
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:44,200
willing to go about and just try things and ignoring the fact that it could just result

1089
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:49,920
in death, just to get some figures and numbers that will benefit her later on.

1090
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,400
It's really horrible.

1091
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,240
And it kind of reflects what's happened in the past, I guess.

1092
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,120
But yeah, geez.

1093
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,840
But then we're back to Medical Bay and Picard turns up.

1094
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,400
So I'm going to tell you exactly, I wrote a little paragraph here.

1095
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:06,400
Go for it.

1096
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:10,960
And I've wrote, because I liked this scene, and I wrote, this is a really nice side of

1097
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,760
Picard to see him like this.

1098
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,040
He's not angry.

1099
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:18,000
He's just talking quite calmly.

1100
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,600
And again, he's being devil's advocate.

1101
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:25,040
And I wrote, he's being very personal with everybody that he's been with, the few times

1102
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,680
he's been in the episode so far.

1103
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:31,000
And I said, he seems like a really good captain at this point in time.

1104
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:36,040
He's giving opinions and not outright ordering anybody to do anything, but he still gets

1105
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,960
them to make the decision he wants them to do anyway.

1106
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:46,640
What I've written here is, has he really got the right to try and override Beverly though?

1107
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:52,160
I don't think, from understanding what other episodes of Trek have done, he can't tell

1108
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,280
her to do fucking anything.

1109
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,800
He can captain her and he can tell her what to do.

1110
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:04,920
But ultimately, if she decided to turn around and say, you're unfit to be captain medically,

1111
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,760
she could have him straight off the ship.

1112
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:12,360
So it's kind of a little bit of A, little bit of B. I don't think either could cancel

1113
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:17,240
each other out without good reason to.

1114
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:27,000
But yeah, I kind of just felt like, you're basically saying, we talked about parenting

1115
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,000
before.

1116
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:33,280
It's like having two parents, the child coming up and say, oh, can we go to the park?

1117
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:34,920
No, we can't go to the park today.

1118
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,400
You've been in a little shit bag.

1119
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:38,880
Why should we take you to the park?

1120
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,080
No, that's my final answer.

1121
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,480
Going and then speaking to the other parent and the other parent going to be, oh, go on,

1122
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:45,840
let's just go to the park, shall we?

1123
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:49,440
It completely undermines the other person.

1124
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,080
And that's exactly what's happening here.

1125
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,880
Picard's basically saying, you should reconsider.

1126
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,600
Worf's going to kill himself anyway.

1127
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,240
Just let Russell do it.

1128
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:02,960
No, because that absolutely undermines what Beverly has said, which is, I don't agree

1129
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:03,960
with your tactics.

1130
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,120
I don't agree with how you're going about things.

1131
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:07,360
I think you're dangerous.

1132
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,920
I think your procedure is dangerous.

1133
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:12,400
It's untested.

1134
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:17,760
Well, because the captain said so, I'm going to let you give it a try anyway now.

1135
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,520
It undermines Beverly completely.

1136
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:25,640
And I would expect her to be so much more angry or upset about that.

1137
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:26,640
Yeah.

1138
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,520
Yeah, agreed.

1139
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,520
I think he does undermine it.

1140
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:31,920
It's one of those weird things.

1141
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:36,040
You can still kind of see that, well, Worf wants to die.

1142
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,600
Why don't we just try this anyway?

1143
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,200
Because he's quite likely to die anyway.

1144
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,480
I think that's what Picard's point is, isn't it?

1145
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,600
Well, there's 37% chance he won't die.

1146
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,640
But then Beverly goes on about, I will not let him commit suicide.

1147
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:52,840
Way to go there, Bev.

1148
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:56,040
Just proving the point that you don't give a shit about someone's culture.

1149
01:00:56,040 --> 01:01:01,480
I will keep him in a restraining field for weeks, months or a year if required.

1150
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,480
Again, really shitty behaviour there, Bev.

1151
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,360
You're now putting yourself in a bad light.

1152
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,800
I think she'll probably get struck off then by doing that.

1153
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,760
Because now she's just keeping him in prison.

1154
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:13,240
And you haven't even given him a TV.

1155
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,920
He's been there for a year.

1156
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,360
In that awful room.

1157
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:22,320
The pink and blue gel is only fun for all of five minutes.

1158
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,680
Yeah, we like the smell of it, but it gets boring.

1159
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,120
And then we've got, right then, Riker goes in, doesn't he?

1160
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,640
Yeah, so I've got Riker's had a taste of law since Measure of the Man.

1161
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:32,640
He's obviously gone and done his research.

1162
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,760
He's like, well, I did research for Data.

1163
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,640
I'll do research for Worf.

1164
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:43,000
But the first thing I've got here, if your friends keep dying, maybe don't be a friend

1165
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,000
with Riker.

1166
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,000
Yeah.

1167
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:50,400
The first thing I noticed is he tries to get his attention by throwing his coat on his

1168
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:51,400
legs.

1169
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:55,360
Well, I think that's kind of a ceremonial gaub or whatever it can be.

1170
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:59,840
But my point is Worf paralysed.

1171
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:00,840
What's that going to do?

1172
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,360
If he doesn't hear it, he's never not felt it.

1173
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:04,360
Oh, sorry.

1174
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,200
I spilt my coffee on here.

1175
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,160
Worf doesn't matter.

1176
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:14,920
But yeah, it's just Riker's on about how many of our friends have died, ending with Tasha

1177
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:15,920
Yar.

1178
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:20,320
It's like, I'm starting to get an idea, Riker, that you might be bad news for your friends.

1179
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:21,320
Yeah.

1180
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:26,800
I think he goes a little bit too far because he proper slags off the Klingon culture.

1181
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,680
Yeah, he really goes for the throat of the culture.

1182
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:30,680
Yeah.

1183
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,040
Which is a bit mean.

1184
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,360
Whilst I agree that it is twattish, their culture.

1185
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,040
Yeah, but it's their culture and their race.

1186
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,320
What right does Riker have to say that?

1187
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:41,320
Precisely.

1188
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:45,560
And then again, it gets darker again when he just suddenly throws out there, well, I've

1189
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,720
done the reading on it, Worf.

1190
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:51,280
And it says, it has to be your nearest family member that does it.

1191
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:52,960
And that's your son.

1192
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:54,960
He's just a child.

1193
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:58,640
And a Klingon is an adult when they can wield a blade.

1194
01:02:58,640 --> 01:02:59,640
Shit.

1195
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:00,640
Yeah.

1196
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,920
And I thought you're a fucking asshole for doing that, Riker.

1197
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:08,600
Because clearly maybe Worf was trying, knew that already.

1198
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:09,600
Worf fully well knew that already.

1199
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,920
And he was trying to just not have his son do it.

1200
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:13,920
Exactly.

1201
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,720
Doesn't want to traumatise his son.

1202
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,800
But no, Riker's happy with it.

1203
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,560
What if Worf had called his bluff?

1204
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:20,560
Yeah, precisely.

1205
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:24,000
I'll go and get Alexander then.

1206
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,000
What do you mean?

1207
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,000
No, I want you to go and get him.

1208
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:27,000
Yeah, go on then.

1209
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:28,000
You bought the knife.

1210
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:29,000
So go and get Alexander now.

1211
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,920
We'll finish this.

1212
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,320
I will put this here.

1213
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:43,200
After how Riker has been with him and all the slagging off he's done, I could not see

1214
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:47,920
Worf forgiving or ever being a proper friend with Riker after this whole incident.

1215
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:49,340
No, I think it's done their relationship.

1216
01:03:49,340 --> 01:03:50,340
But it doesn't.

1217
01:03:50,340 --> 01:03:51,340
It doesn't.

1218
01:03:51,340 --> 01:03:52,340
We know it doesn't.

1219
01:03:52,340 --> 01:03:59,920
But if that was real life, no way that's ever going to be moved past easily anyway.

1220
01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:04,600
And then we get Alexander comes in the room.

1221
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:05,600
Yeah.

1222
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,560
And Worf breaks tradition.

1223
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:09,560
He breaks tradition.

1224
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:14,960
Now, sorry, but I'm just going to say this one.

1225
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:15,960
Security to medical bay.

1226
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,960
We have a child with a bladed weapon.

1227
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:19,960
Put it down.

1228
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:20,960
Security.

1229
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,960
We've got one down.

1230
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:24,960
Taser deployed.

1231
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:25,960
Did you see how he...

1232
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:26,960
He's just walking around.

1233
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:32,640
He's got the blade pointing up and he's just running around out into the corridor with

1234
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:33,640
his...

1235
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:34,640
Jesus.

1236
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:35,640
I noticed that straight away.

1237
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,400
It was just like, it's like walking or running with scissors.

1238
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,880
How you meant to hold the end.

1239
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:42,480
Do something with that knife.

1240
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,760
Riker pulls it in, in a pouch because he pulls it out.

1241
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,720
You see him pull it from the pouch.

1242
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,160
He's like, maybe give Alexander the knife.

1243
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,400
And he's holding it like he's wielding a flaming torch.

1244
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,400
I'm going to go and stab someone.

1245
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:56,400
Yeah.

1246
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:57,400
I'm going to go and stab someone.

1247
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,400
I'm coming for you.

1248
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:05,480
And then Troy comes in and wharfs like I need to go after my son.

1249
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:06,480
Yeah.

1250
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:07,480
Oh yeah.

1251
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:08,480
I've got it.

1252
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:12,200
So Alexander says, oh, I'm the fastest at maths, my teacher says.

1253
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,660
I was waiting for him to say, oh, good warrior must know maths.

1254
01:05:14,660 --> 01:05:15,660
Well done, Alexander.

1255
01:05:15,660 --> 01:05:17,880
Just to kind of throw that one in there.

1256
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:21,540
And then, yeah, could she not sense what he was about to ask her?

1257
01:05:21,540 --> 01:05:22,540
Yeah, exactly.

1258
01:05:22,540 --> 01:05:23,540
She's not very good.

1259
01:05:23,540 --> 01:05:24,540
Shit.

1260
01:05:24,540 --> 01:05:25,540
I think it's just all a con.

1261
01:05:25,540 --> 01:05:28,560
She's just like a snake oil merchant.

1262
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:33,040
She just reads the Starfleet version of Facebook before they come in the room each time.

1263
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,040
Oh, let's see the latest profile update.

1264
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:36,040
Oh no.

1265
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,600
Oh, they lost that promotion.

1266
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,160
Oh, come in, come in.

1267
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:44,040
Now, I'm sensing you're feeling pretty down at the moment because you lost the promotion.

1268
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:45,840
She's a cold reader, isn't she?

1269
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:46,840
It's a cold reader.

1270
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:47,840
That's what she is.

1271
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:48,840
She's a fucking cold reader.

1272
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:55,840
She's just like, maybe she's just really good in bed and because Ryker just can't get past

1273
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:56,840
that.

1274
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:57,840
That she's just got here in the fucking...

1275
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,840
You can't get past it, but fuck me, he's nailed a fair few fucking women in front of

1276
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:02,840
her, hasn't he?

1277
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,840
Yeah, I've actually felt that one.

1278
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:05,840
Right.

1279
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:06,840
Oh no.

1280
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:07,840
I just thought he's...

1281
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:12,840
I'm glad we're laughing at some point in this.

1282
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,840
If we've got 48 minutes into this and we're laughing at last.

1283
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,840
Can she not sense that coming?

1284
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:22,840
Then we've got about Ryker having said, can she not sense him coming?

1285
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:23,840
Just laying there.

1286
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:28,840
I started going to say, no, no, no, he's doing it again.

1287
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:30,840
Oh dear, I did wait.

1288
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:35,840
What is it when you're linked on a subatomic level across distances?

1289
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,840
What's that called?

1290
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:39,840
Quantum locked.

1291
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,840
She's emotionally quantum locked with his orgasm.

1292
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:44,840
Every night is a nightmare.

1293
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:46,840
It's a different person.

1294
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,840
Oh my God, it's like three in the afternoon.

1295
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:50,840
What's happening?

1296
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:52,840
He's going to be on shift.

1297
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,840
He's on a lunch break.

1298
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,840
Computer, where's Commander Ryker?

1299
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,840
Commander Ryker is in holodeck three.

1300
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,840
Oh no.

1301
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,840
I've lost my page.

1302
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:05,840
Get the mop and bucket.

1303
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:06,840
Yeah, where were we?

1304
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,840
Oh, they're in their Willy Wonka suits.

1305
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,840
I liked those suits.

1306
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,840
They just looked a bit absorbent.

1307
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,840
Yeah, they didn't look practical for surgery.

1308
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:23,840
It reminded me of the scene in Willy Wonka where they're all in white and they shrink

1309
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,840
the person into the television, but they're in red instead.

1310
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:27,840
Sorry, hang on.

1311
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:29,840
The one bit I've got before that.

1312
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,840
So when Troy says, yes, of course I'll have Alexander for you.

1313
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:39,840
I'd be honored and I promise I'll only send him to the Starfleet orphanarium a month after

1314
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:45,840
you die, because that's the way of TNG.

1315
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,840
Right, so yeah.

1316
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:49,840
I did love the entire medical scene for this.

1317
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:54,840
The spinal column in the box, I think looked really good.

1318
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:56,840
The laser scanning for it.

1319
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:57,840
All of that.

1320
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,840
I really like it.

1321
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,840
You've got to have a bit of pink goo there, which I'm pretty sure they just stole from

1322
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:04,840
Ghostbusters 2.

1323
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,840
But there is no thought about Worf's comfort.

1324
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,840
He's face down on a metal grid.

1325
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:13,840
He's unconscious at this point.

1326
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:18,840
Yeah, but the table hasn't got a hole for his face.

1327
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:21,840
Did you see what he was on?

1328
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:23,840
We couldn't budget for a hole in the table.

1329
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:33,840
Right, so my greenhouse is on this plastic square grid and inside the holes of the grid is stone.

1330
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:34,840
Yes.

1331
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,840
He's on that without the stones.

1332
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,840
If you go back and look at that scene, he's on one of those grids.

1333
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:42,840
That would hurt.

1334
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:44,840
His face is just like...

1335
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,840
Just flat onto it.

1336
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,840
Starfleet, we don't care about your comfort.

1337
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,840
We'll just knock you out and we'll be done.

1338
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:54,840
Knock him out and line with a bed of spikes.

1339
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:55,840
What do we care?

1340
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:57,840
We'll hold him in place.

1341
01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:58,840
I just thought...

1342
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,840
Yeah, I didn't think that was right.

1343
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,840
So yeah, you've got the spinal columns out, they're working on it.

1344
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:12,840
Then we go to Alexander and Troy sat outside waiting and Alexander's playing a Star Trek game,

1345
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,840
which I'm pretty sure is just the Seiko pyramid talking clock from the 80s.

1346
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:18,840
Yeah, it looked like that.

1347
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:20,840
I was looking at the thing and I recognised that.

1348
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:22,840
It's a digital clock of some sort, I'm sure it is.

1349
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:29,840
And then we also see Riker and Picard having boring conversations with each other about...

1350
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,840
Have you heard anything?

1351
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:33,840
Not yet.

1352
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:34,840
And that was it.

1353
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:35,840
It's Riker.

1354
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:36,840
What are they talking about?

1355
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,840
They're talking about the really boring day to day, which is...

1356
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:48,840
I'm glad they put it in there because it does give you the idea that there is day to day activity on the ship that has to be dealt with.

1357
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:53,840
Someone's got to organise who's taking the trash out on Deck 13.

1358
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:55,840
So yeah, no.

1359
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:57,840
We get the call again, spinal call again.

1360
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,840
Yeah, well, yeah, out comes the long slug that she had just blocked.

1361
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:06,840
You think wouldn't you beam it in so you've got like precision?

1362
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:10,840
But she's saying it must be 15 centimetres from the brain stem.

1363
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,840
OK, then do it with the transposer.

1364
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,840
Don't just bring it out on what looked like two pencils.

1365
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,840
Flop it in and then just start poking it up and down until it's the right kind of distance.

1366
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,840
What is that worm thing?

1367
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:27,840
It was just like a really gross looking tape worm, wasn't it?

1368
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:28,840
Yeah.

1369
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:30,840
Put that on your back, mate.

1370
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:32,840
Funny enough, your spinal column doesn't look dissimilar.

1371
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,840
Well, spinal cord, sorry, not the column.

1372
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:37,840
That's what it was meant to be.

1373
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:47,840
Yeah, it was meant to be the spinal cord and then they generate the spinal column around it with the tissue growth, which is the genotronic side, I'm guessing, which should look really cool on the display.

1374
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:52,840
Yeah. Seeing it kind of growing in there.

1375
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:55,840
But does it work?

1376
01:10:55,840 --> 01:11:02,840
Well, she shoves in so much anaprovalin, whatever the fuck that stuff is.

1377
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,840
Oh my God, she couldn't get enough of it.

1378
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:09,840
25 milligrams, 50 milligrams, 75 milligrams.

1379
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:17,840
And then, yeah, then it's like on goes the cortical stimulator, which we first see.

1380
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:26,840
I'm pretty sure we don't see it in the original series, but we see it in the Star Trek films when...

1381
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:28,840
Is it Chekhov?

1382
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:38,840
Yeah, Chekhov falls off the ledge and basically gives himself massive brain damage because they stick the cortical stimulator on him and bring him back to life.

1383
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:41,840
It's their version of a defibrillator basically, but for the brain.

1384
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:43,840
Didn't we already watch an episode where they do that?

1385
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:44,840
Yeah.

1386
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:45,840
I'm like, what the fuck is it doing to him?

1387
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,840
There's a couple. It's basically a defibrillator for the brain.

1388
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:48,840
Yeah.

1389
01:11:48,840 --> 01:12:04,840
Which is quite a cool idea. But yeah, I've got here, it's actually quite graphic for Star Trek because, yeah, you see a portion of his back exposed and they're putting things in and it's quite graphic.

1390
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:05,840
Yeah, he died.

1391
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:07,840
He does die.

1392
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:15,840
And this bit pained me and I'm sure it's only because now I'm a dad. It's Beverly going out and telling Alexander your dad's dead.

1393
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:16,840
Basically.

1394
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:17,840
That was pretty gut wrenching.

1395
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:27,840
I hate that. I can't deal with that anymore. I really struggle because I immediately put my kids into it and it's just like, I don't like it.

1396
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:29,840
She acted that really well.

1397
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:34,840
She did. The kid did. And then demanding, no, I want to see my dad.

1398
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:39,840
And they turned him over. Thank fuck for that. He hasn't got as a grill marks all over his face.

1399
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,840
Don't worry. His ridges will go back to normal.

1400
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:49,840
Yeah. So they've turned them over and then Beverly spots something.

1401
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:59,840
No, well, just before then, he, like the guy playing, the kid playing Alexander does a really good job. But you can see he was told he's not allowed to touch his makeup.

1402
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:00,840
Yes.

1403
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,840
Because he has to put his hands over his face, but you can see he's kind of.

1404
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:05,840
He's not trying to touch the ridges.

1405
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:10,840
And then, yeah, she sees something and I had to rewind it because I didn't see what she saw at first.

1406
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,840
But he kind of does a weird twitch with his head.

1407
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:14,840
Doesn't he?

1408
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:18,840
Yeah. It's kind of a nose, cheek, eye area kind of twitch.

1409
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:24,840
Now, was this whole Klingon redundancy thing invented for this episode?

1410
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:25,840
Yes.

1411
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:27,840
Right. Just specifically for this.

1412
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:28,840
I presume so.

1413
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:37,840
Because somebody wanted to do this episode, the writers, now they've canonised the basic Klingons are bloody Time Lords.

1414
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:45,840
I was going to say, I wonder if Doctor Who played any part in that idea with the fact that the Time Lords have got two hearts.

1415
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:56,840
I'd be interested because you know how sci-fi lines up and typically sci-fi writers will also watch and pay attention to what other sci-fi things have done.

1416
01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:58,840
Yeah.

1417
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:05,840
And now, so they get him to come back alive with some more randomly named drugs.

1418
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,840
And now we've got.

1419
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:12,840
I keep, I've called her Troy all the way through all my notes.

1420
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:13,840
Weird.

1421
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:14,840
I don't know why I've done it.

1422
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:16,840
So Beverly is now giving her the silent treatment.

1423
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:17,840
Yeah, I've got.

1424
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:19,840
Are you fucking child?

1425
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:23,840
Yeah, I've got silent treatment and I've got.

1426
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:25,840
Oh, those backup systems.

1427
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:29,840
Who could imagine that little bit of information from the beginning would come into play in this episode?

1428
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:30,840
And.

1429
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:32,840
But quick question.

1430
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:33,840
Yeah.

1431
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:37,840
Have you ever seen the original Addams Family film?

1432
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:38,840
Yes.

1433
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:40,840
Okay, so you.

1434
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:42,840
What's the wife's name in it?

1435
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:44,840
Morticia.

1436
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:45,840
Morticia.

1437
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:53,840
So in the Addams Family one and two films, the way they were filmed was that any time you had Morticia, they had.

1438
01:14:53,840 --> 01:15:04,840
A mirror doing the light across the eyes and they did that kind of 1940s, 30s film style where it was kind of Vaseline around the outside of it.

1439
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:05,840
Soften it up.

1440
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,840
I swear they do that for Beverly Crusher.

1441
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:14,840
And at least in this episode, anytime you've got just her face on screen, it's really soft.

1442
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,840
They absolutely do it in season one.

1443
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:20,840
Absolutely for her and Troy.

1444
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:23,840
They both of those two get that treatment.

1445
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:24,840
Yeah.

1446
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:24,840
Absolutely they do.

1447
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:28,840
And Beverly gets it at this point when it's up close on.

1448
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:30,840
They do it to her.

1449
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,840
I don't know if it's basically trying to warm you to her.

1450
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:34,840
Yeah.

1451
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:35,840
Or what?

1452
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:39,840
Or going to make it out kind of the whole good versus evil.

1453
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:40,840
So I don't.

1454
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:41,840
I honestly don't know.

1455
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:42,840
It might just be they're just trying to.

1456
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:43,840
Yeah, like the good versus.

1457
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:48,840
They're trying to harden the other woman up and soften her up because I wrote a few.

1458
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,840
The word I was looking for was smug.

1459
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:56,840
That's the words were, but I couldn't think of that word at the time because I was so annoyed by how Dr. Russell looked.

1460
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:58,840
I've wrote smarmy twat.

1461
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:00,840
Yes, isn't she?

1462
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:08,840
She's basically lucked out because the Klingon physiology that she had no fucking clue about saved her bacon.

1463
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:09,840
Yeah.

1464
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,840
I said she's a boasting smart ass.

1465
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:13,840
Yeah, absolutely.

1466
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:14,840
Leaning up against the wall.

1467
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,840
They're like really looking smug.

1468
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,840
Like, oh, see, I'm so brilliant.

1469
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:21,840
My plan worked all along.

1470
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:31,840
And I really did like as much as the silent treatment is really childish, I did really like Bev's speech ending with, well, I hope you enjoy your laurels.

1471
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:32,840
Yeah.

1472
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:33,840
Because you know what?

1473
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:34,840
It is cutting.

1474
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:40,840
It's just like you came here and you said you respected my research, my papers and you were looking forward to working with me.

1475
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:41,840
And now you're leaving.

1476
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:48,840
And basically I'm saying to you, I really hope you enjoy what you've come up with and you get from this.

1477
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:49,840
Yeah.

1478
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:50,840
Not in a good way.

1479
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:51,840
No.

1480
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:54,840
Yeah.

1481
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,840
We get the final scene is a really good scene with Warfleet.

1482
01:16:58,840 --> 01:16:59,840
The physio.

1483
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:00,840
Yeah.

1484
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,840
Yeah. And they're like, oh, no, let you do it on your own.

1485
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,840
And he's like, no, we'll do this together.

1486
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:07,840
I want my son to help.

1487
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:12,840
Which was a really nice heartwarming end to what is quite a dark.

1488
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,840
If we've not managed to get much comedy out of it.

1489
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,840
So it's not a funny episode.

1490
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:26,840
It's not one that you can have that much fun with because it's a good episode, but it's a dark episode.

1491
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:28,840
I mean, again, I'm a sarcastic bastard.

1492
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:33,840
You know this and I've got Beverly says it's going to take time.

1493
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:37,840
Don't rush. And I've got, yeah, you've got at least until next episode.

1494
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:38,840
Yeah, just.

1495
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:45,840
I genuinely want to watch the next episode, see what the star date is and see if warf's in it walking around normally.

1496
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:47,840
Oh, yeah, we'd have to do that.

1497
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,840
Can you imagine the star dates literally two days apart and warf's basically done.

1498
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:56,840
I don't know if they mentioned star dates in this episode at all.

1499
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,840
Because there's only one log and it's a supplementary doctor's log.

1500
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:02,840
That's true.

1501
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:06,840
So I and I don't think she mentions a star date.

1502
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:14,840
So unless it's written on a screen somewhere, I think there is a database that says when all the star dates are for episodes.

1503
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:17,840
That's literally what I'm looking up. Good old fandom.

1504
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:19,840
Yeah. Let's have a look.

1505
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:23,840
Because I was going to do the same. I was going to write down the star date, but I don't think it ever gets mentioned.

1506
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:31,840
In universe date four five five eight seven point three two three six eight in brackets.

1507
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:37,840
Right. So we now know four five five eight seven point three.

1508
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,840
Now, if I'm going to open up, what do you say? Four four five eight seven.

1509
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,840
That's okay. I'll open up in another. I'll open up in another tab.

1510
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:49,840
But hang on. If I open this up in another tab and look at what the next episode is.

1511
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:53,840
Oh, I don't even need that.

1512
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:55,840
Oh, for fuck's sake. Yeah.

1513
01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:02,840
Ethics four oh two seven five. Oh, actually, is that? That's not. Oh, that's production number. Sorry.

1514
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:06,840
Ignore me. I was getting grumpy there because it was a different number.

1515
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:13,840
Right. Ethics four five five eight seven point three four five five. Yep. Eight seven point three eight seven point three.

1516
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:21,840
The next episode is the outcast and the first date for that is four five six one four point six.

1517
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:27,840
Right. Everybody who's trying to figure out what star dates are without Googling star dates fucking work that one out.

1518
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:31,840
Didn't we kind of work out it's almost like one number is a day.

1519
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:35,840
I'm not entirely sure. I'm at that stage.

1520
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:42,840
Let's have a look. I'm genuinely I want to know. I want to know kind of.

1521
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:48,840
No, we're supposed to be working it out based on their shitty understanding of only knowing it from episodes.

1522
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:54,840
No, right. Right. Right. I've got a calculator. I've got a calculator.

1523
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,840
Here we go. You got a star date calculator. I have a star date calculator.

1524
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:01,840
If we put the star date in, it will tell us the date.

1525
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:06,840
OK, here we go. Oh, fuck. No, it's not copying and pasting properly.

1526
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:12,840
Come on. Four five five eight seven point three. Right. Copy. Here we go.

1527
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:15,840
Fuck off, copilot. I don't want you to tell me about the text.

1528
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:20,840
I'm fine with it without. Right. OK. Star date. Here we go.

1529
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,840
Star date. The date is August 2nd, 2368.

1530
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,840
I don't care about the time. We just care about days at this point.

1531
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:35,840
August 2nd. August 2nd, 2368. OK.

1532
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:41,840
And then the outcast. How do they work this out?

1533
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:49,840
There is maths involved, so Alexander should be able to do this by now.

1534
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:53,840
Four five six one.

1535
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:59,840
He's the quickest in his class.

1536
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:03,840
Thanks for filling us up with such useless information.

1537
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:09,840
Four five six one four point six point six. OK.

1538
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:14,840
Oh my God. It's been ten days.

1539
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:21,840
It's the 12th of August. It's the 12th of August. 2368.

1540
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:26,840
I can't. It takes Worf ten days to get back.

1541
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:31,840
That is if he's actually in the episode. What's the next episode?

1542
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:35,840
Outcast. Outcast. Right. OK. We're just going to write that down.

1543
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:39,840
I'm going to watch that. That's not for the next episode.

1544
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:43,840
We can talk about it. That's not what we're going to do next episode.

1545
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:48,840
No, that's actually made me so.

1546
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,840
Riker falls for a member. What a surprise.

1547
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:56,840
Riker falls for a member of an androgynous race who lost a couple of their people in an unmapped region of space.

1548
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,840
Oh God. All right.

1549
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:04,840
And I'm going to very randomly scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub.

1550
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:09,840
And oh, you know what? Worf might not turn up in this episode.

1551
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:11,840
Oh, you got it there. Yeah.

1552
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:17,840
I'm literally scrubbing through the episode now and it's a very Riker centric episode.

1553
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:24,840
It's Riker and the androgynous female. They're in ten forward now. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

1554
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:27,840
Is he a delton? He's basically trying to knob her.

1555
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:31,840
She's proving that she's a pilot as well, which is arousing William.

1556
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:35,840
Oh, Bev's there treating her, not caring about her culture, no doubt.

1557
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:39,840
There he is. Worf's playing poker. No, he's fine. He's in full uniform.

1558
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,840
No, he's in full uniform. Oh, fuck off.

1559
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:44,840
Ten days. There you go.

1560
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:48,840
Worf needed ten days to get back into operational order.

1561
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:52,840
Screw you, Star Trek. I love you, but God damn it.

1562
01:22:52,840 --> 01:23:04,840
Ensign's log, Stardate 31111.1. I've had a great idea to find out where the moisture goes and comes from. Those old scientists, they went back in time to 1986 with the whales.

1563
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:09,840
Looks like I'll be spending a few weeks visiting Holodeck, San Francisco.

1564
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:18,840
Ensign's log and do the Stardate automatically.

1565
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:23,840
Ooh, could I have just said, computer, record personal log.

1566
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,840
No, no peeps.

1567
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:33,840
I've been testing water down in the Holodeck. It's... I can't get anything... It's not helpful.

1568
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:39,840
Engineering are being just dicks about it. I don't know why. I don't know what I've done to piss them off.

1569
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:50,840
Still no definitive answers. I think water might get teleported away, but there'd be comets and stuff behind us if that was...

1570
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:55,840
I don't know why engineering won't help me with this. Twats.

1571
01:23:55,840 --> 01:24:03,840
Command functions are offline. I know we're at the end. Yep.

1572
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:12,840
And you're expecting to say what our next Trek thing is, because we've said we're going to do Trek Trek Talk. Trek Trek Talk.

1573
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:19,840
I don't want the next episode to be Trek, weirdly. I know this is a Trek Show podcast.

1574
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:28,840
I would like you to watch the first episode of The Orville with me. Because when the first episode of Orville came out...

1575
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:42,840
It was around the same time I believe Discovery had arrived. And for me, it was the best non-Trek Trek at the time.

1576
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:54,840
And I still genuinely feel that actually The Orville has done Trek better than a lot of Trek of that time still to this day.

1577
01:24:54,840 --> 01:25:02,840
So my friend Stiddy's seen them all. And he would constantly tell me, you love Star Trek, you need to watch this, you need to watch this, you're going to love it.

1578
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:10,840
And I just... I never watched it. And I never was that interested in it because I just thought it was going to be Family Guy in Space.

1579
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:18,840
And that's what I was just going to say. So it's Seth MacFarlane. He was a big Star Trek fan. And he wanted to do something different.

1580
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:22,840
And whenever I've spoken to anyone, I've said, right, what do you know about The Orville? Oh, it's Seth MacFarlane.

1581
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:27,840
So I say, what do you expect it to be? And it's exactly what you've just said there. You've just proven my point beautifully.

1582
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:36,840
Which is they always say, well, it's just going to be Family Guy in Space, isn't it? And it's not. It is comedy, yes.

1583
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:44,840
But so many of the episodes take what Trek has done, run with it, and done it brilliantly.

1584
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:55,840
There's an entire part of The Orville where there's the security officer of The Orville. Looks a bit like Darmok, funnily enough.

1585
01:25:55,840 --> 01:26:08,840
And they are an all male species. And they partner up and the male of the species lays the egg.

1586
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:16,840
And they have a child. And the child is born and it's a girl. And you think, well, hang on a moment. We'll talk about comedy.

1587
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:27,840
The entire two part episode we're talking about is about forced gender reassignment and one parent saying, I don't agree with this.

1588
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:33,840
And the other parent saying, well, I do and I want it to happen. And The Orville having to decide, shit, what do we do?

1589
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:41,840
Do we follow this person's culture or do we follow what we think is right? Which no one expected of Seth MacFarlane.

1590
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:48,840
Some of the storylines are really deep and actually straight out of Star Trek.

1591
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:55,840
And that's why I genuinely feel Orville at points has done Trek better than Trek has done itself.

1592
01:26:55,840 --> 01:27:02,840
It's absolutely worth watching. Yes, you do get some Family Guy style humour in there. You can't avoid that.

1593
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:08,840
But overall, it's actually really good sci-fi.

1594
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:15,840
So episode 12 of the Untitled Trek Show shall be season one, episode one of The Orville.

1595
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:23,840
Yeah, but you've got to understand. Is it episode 12 or episode 13? Episode 13, I believe. This is 12.

1596
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:31,840
This is 12. Next one's 13. And it's going to be an episode of The Orville. But I think people need to understand that Trek went on to influence so much.

1597
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:35,840
I mean, at some point, I want us to look at Galaxy Quest. That's a great movie.

1598
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:42,840
It's a brilliant film and it's straight up lifted piss take of Star Trek.

1599
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:49,840
I did say that, I think it was last week, I did say I want to do sci-fi in general, mainly Trek.

1600
01:27:49,840 --> 01:28:00,840
Yeah. Well, it would be nice to do sci-fi that has been influenced by Trek. And in this case, The Orville fits that perfectly.

1601
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:10,840
And for those of you that are following along and that want to watch it and don't have access to it on DVD, it is streaming every season on Disney+.

1602
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:17,840
So if you've got Disney+, you can watch The Orville. Otherwise, I'm sorry, I don't know where else it streams, so I can't help you on that one.

1603
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:25,840
But yeah, episode one of The Orville. It might not be very Trek, but I think you'll see what I mean.

1604
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:26,840
Wicked.

1605
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:32,840
Ensign's Log. The San Francisco mission with Kirk and Spock and one of them that's going nowhere.

1606
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:37,840
Once you're banned from SeaWorld, it's over. But sop the water.

1607
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:43,840
I don't know which of those old scientists programmed this, but holy shit, this is what you're going to want to do.

1608
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:50,840
Load the simulation, observe the mission. Don't sign in as a participant. While they all go on their mission,

1609
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:58,840
say you want to explore the time periods, arts and culture that unlocks the map beyond the mission.

1610
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:01,840
Pay close notes and listen to the tension.

1611
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:06,840
Now follow these instructions very closely.

1612
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,840
It's going to be a long time.

1613
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:16,840
Head north from the landing sites for about five minutes.

1614
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:20,840
Someone asleep on a blue towel with a grey backpack.

1615
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:26,840
Wait until the lady walking the dog goes past, then steal a bag and their shoes.

1616
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:29,840
Walk to the bench, take the wallet out from one of the shoes.

1617
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:37,840
When the guy selling the music comes by, offer to swap him the shoes for his jacket and take a cab to Hide Ashbrook.

1618
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:39,840
This is important.

1619
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,840
Give the cabby $200.

1620
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:46,840
He will drive you anywhere for as long as the mission lasts.

1621
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:51,840
Any less than that and he gets called away in an airport run after you leave him waiting for half an hour.

1622
01:29:51,840 --> 01:30:00,840
Also, set a timer to get back to the landing site before the mission ends or the side quest makes the simulation glitch and freeze.

1623
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:05,840
You have to walk all the way back to the landing site to use the arch to get out.

1624
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:10,840
And computer, set this to private.

1625
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:14,840
So thanks everybody for listening.

1626
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:15,840
Thank you.

1627
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:16,840
I didn't say watching this time.

1628
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:17,840
Oh yeah.

1629
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:18,840
I said listening.

1630
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:19,840
Boom.

1631
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:21,840
So when are we going to see them next?

1632
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:23,840
When are we going to see them next?

1633
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:24,840
In a fortnight.

1634
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:26,840
Oh damn it, you're not going to say next week.

1635
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:28,840
Well, no, technically.

1636
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:33,840
Well, if you follow both shows, we will see you next week.

1637
01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:34,840
Yeah, okay.

1638
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:35,840
Mr. Pedantic, you're right.

1639
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:38,840
On the Channel 84 variety show.

1640
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:39,840
Absolutely.

1641
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:44,840
I'd really like you to rate us 10.

1642
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:46,840
Whereas here is a fortnight.

1643
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:50,840
Yeah, you'll see the Untouchable Trek in two weeks time.

1644
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:51,840
Where can you find us?

1645
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:56,840
You can find us on channel84.co.uk, our lovely website.

1646
01:30:56,840 --> 01:31:01,840
And on there has all of our socials, has very rarely nowadays posts.

1647
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:03,840
We just need to get back into it.

1648
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:04,840
We are going to get back into that.

1649
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:05,840
It's just...

1650
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:10,840
Finding a rhythm because we've done so much podcast stuff and so much extra things, haven't we?

1651
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:17,840
Yeah, it's been a very, very busy past six months, I would say, where we've changed up our game.

1652
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:22,840
We've introduced now weekly recording as when we first set up the page.

1653
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:23,840
We were only doing it every two weeks.

1654
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:24,840
We had time.

1655
01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:26,840
We had time to write stuff, yeah.

1656
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:28,840
Whereas now the stuff we're writing are podcast things.

1657
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:30,840
It basically ends up in the podcast.

1658
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:37,840
So yeah, it's hard to find a median that we can sit on, but we will.

1659
01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:40,840
And there will be posts going up again.

1660
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:41,840
Yeah.

1661
01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:43,840
We'd really love you guys to join us Discord.

1662
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:44,840
We've got Trek areas.

1663
01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:46,840
We've got normal chat areas.

1664
01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:50,840
We've got film areas, TV show areas.

1665
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:55,840
You know, we just opened up an arty crafty bit if you didn't know.

1666
01:31:55,840 --> 01:31:56,840
It's for Flower.

1667
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:57,840
Yeah.

1668
01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:00,840
And they do their own 3D printing or their own craft stuff.

1669
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:01,840
Anything at all.

1670
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:02,840
Chuck it in there.

1671
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:03,840
Chuck it in there.

1672
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:04,840
Everyone's super friendly.

1673
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:09,840
And you can get there by going to channel84.co.uk forward slash Discord.

1674
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:10,840
Is that right?

1675
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:11,840
That's the wrong, well done.

1676
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:16,840
And that will immediately accept you to the invite link.

1677
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:17,840
Email us.

1678
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:21,840
You can email TJ at TJ at channel84.co.uk.

1679
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:22,840
Correct.

1680
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:25,840
Or myself, Rob at channel84.co.uk.

1681
01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:27,840
Or podcasts.

1682
01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:28,840
Plural.

1683
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:29,840
Plural.

1684
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:30,840
At channel84.co.uk.

1685
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:32,840
And that will go to both of us.

1686
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:37,840
See, the funny thing is it now makes sense that that's plural because we have the other

1687
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:38,840
types of Trek chat at Channel 8.

1688
01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:43,840
It wasn't anything to do with me fucking up in the early days and making it plural.

1689
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:44,840
Yeah.

1690
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:48,840
If you want to follow Trek on Twitter it's at underscore untitled Trek.

1691
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:51,840
That's me that manages it, but we both see it.

1692
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:55,840
And the same with the right show at underscore channel 84.

1693
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:56,840
That's the one.

1694
01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:58,840
You manage that, but we both see it.

1695
01:32:58,840 --> 01:32:59,840
Correct.

1696
01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:01,840
I think that's everything.

1697
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:06,840
Facebook, Instagram, all the other stuff that I don't check.

1698
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:07,840
We do check.

1699
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:09,840
Rob might not, but we do check.

1700
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:10,840
I do check.

1701
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:11,840
I just like saying that.

1702
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:13,840
I just don't look at them.

1703
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:17,840
And if you fancy supporting the running of the show, you don't have to.

1704
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:19,840
We don't expect it.

1705
01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:24,840
But if you do have a few nuggets in your pocket spare, feel free to jump over to Kofi where

1706
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:27,840
you can find the channel 84 variety show, which is both shows.

1707
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:29,840
We're just not going to open two separate Kofi's.

1708
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:31,840
It's just too messy.

1709
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,840
And that money really does just go towards the running of the show.

1710
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:35,840
It doesn't go in our pockets.

1711
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:37,840
It goes towards new equipment.

1712
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:39,840
It goes towards our Google mail account.

1713
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:41,840
It goes towards the webpage hosting.

1714
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:45,840
We're saving up for a new kind of podcast recorder.

1715
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:47,840
Although we love the zoom that we've got at the moment.

1716
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:51,840
We'd quite like to get the podcast a pro too from road because then we can plug phones

1717
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:54,840
in and have actual phone conversations with people easily.

1718
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:56,840
So that's what that money goes towards.

1719
01:33:56,840 --> 01:34:01,840
So if you do have the inclination, which you don't have to, we don't expect it to donate.

1720
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:03,840
Chuck it over there.

1721
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:09,840
And we'll even add you to then the special discord page that gets monthly meetings with

1722
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:12,840
me and Rob where we just chat about stuff and you get to just chat with us.

1723
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:14,840
We have got some stuff coming up.

1724
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:15,840
We haven't organized a date yet.

1725
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:17,840
We've got that starship.

1726
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:19,840
Starship Simulator.

1727
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:21,840
We're going to play together.

1728
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:22,840
Aren't we going to stream it together?

1729
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:24,840
So that's going to be cool.

1730
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:26,840
That is going to be very cool.

1731
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:27,840
But we'll keep you posted.

1732
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:31,840
There'll be another reason to follow on Twitter or every announcement gets put on

1733
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:34,840
discord and we do announce stuff on Twitter as well.

1734
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:39,840
But, you know, do one or one or both if you want to find out when these things are.

1735
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,840
Did you just tell our audience to do one?

1736
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:46,840
Well, I mean, you could clip that and yes.

1737
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:50,840
Anyway, see you later everybody.

1738
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:51,840
Bye bye.

1739
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:52,840
Bye bye.

1740
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:56,840
Hey, Rob here.

1741
01:34:56,840 --> 01:35:00,840
Didn't know at the time of recording what I was going to do with the edits.

1742
01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:08,840
So I don't have a live thank you, but a massive thank you to Adam Court for all of those crew

1743
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:10,840
log entries for EntenCourt.

1744
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:14,840
They I think they're absolutely brilliant.

1745
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:15,840
He gets me.

1746
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:17,840
He gets the shit show.

1747
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:19,840
Definitely understood the memo.

1748
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:21,840
Got the email.

1749
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:23,840
He knew what he was doing.

1750
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:27,840
Go over to Twitter at Mr Court.

1751
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:28,840
Give him some love.

1752
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:29,840
I think they're brilliant.

1753
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:31,840
Thank you very much, mate.

1754
01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:33,840
Thank you for the show.

1755
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:35,840
Bye bye.

1756
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:37,840
I can't do these things.

1757
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:41,840
Why am I whispering?

1758
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:42,840
There's no one here.

1759
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:43,840
I've got to leave this in.

1760
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,840
It's my M.O. Bye.

1761
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:01,840
Thank you for listening to the Channel 84 Untitled Trek Show.

1762
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:05,840
This station is now shutting down and will be back in two weeks.

1763
01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:07,840
Excelsior.

1764
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:25,840
Enten's log investigating where the moisture goes in the holodeck has officially been reassigned to engineering.

1765
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:29,840
All future log entries to be approved by the captain.

1766
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:35,840
And log.
