00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Hello everyone and welcome to the Untitled Trick Show.

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
How are you doing?

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Remote edition.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Remote edition, yeah.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
I'm very tired.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
It's very hot.

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
I've just finished recording and I'm going to bed.

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
As much as I didn't have as traumatic an evening as you did, I didn't get to sleep until 2 o'clock

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
because my room didn't drop in temperature from 26 last night.

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:38,000
So it's been, unless they're listening to the variety show, a month since they've heard

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
us talking, actually talking to us.

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Because obviously the episode before this one, four nights ago, was the compilation

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
episode of the USS Shit Show stuff.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
It was.

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
So I hope everyone enjoyed that.

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And I've got a little, I know I say on the variety show, I don't do corrections, but

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,000
I'm breaking my own rules because I'm pretty sure I pronounced Reid's name wrong last time.

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Oh, we know you did.

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did.

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Reid Rimer is the chap who made the intro for us for the USS Shit Show.

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Thank you very much, Reid.

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Holy moly, it's a good intro because we've not discussed it, have we?

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
No.

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Because you put it on USS Shit Show, which would have been the first time anyone had

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
heard it.

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Yep.

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
And this will be the first time that we've done it in a talking episode.

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
And I've got to say, when I heard it the first time, shivers down the spine.

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Absolute quality work.

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
It's straight out of Star Trek.

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
It was perfect.

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Yeah.

33
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:49,000
When he asked exactly what I was looking for, I just said, next gen, DS9 Voyager.

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
I think we're the three.

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
I might have said low decks as well, just like that.

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And then kind of short.

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
And I think it's like 55 seconds, I think, something like that.

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Yeah.

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And it was, he sent us the first draft.

40
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
It's like, oh, this is the first draft we've got.

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
It took him a couple of days as well.

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
It was so fast.

43
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
And I was like, this is fantastic.

44
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
And then, yeah, he went off and did even more magic with it and come back even better.

45
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
I was like, oh, fucking hell.

46
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
We're super impressed.

47
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
I had it.

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
So you, me and Carrie know a chat together, aren't we?

49
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
And I put it in there and all three of us were like, this is incredible.

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
We're so impressed.

51
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
It really, really is.

52
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
It's just, just everything about it.

53
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
It hits all the TNG notes.

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
It hits the Deep Space Nine notes with the French horn or flugelhorn or whatever you want to call it.

55
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
It was just magical.

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Really, really was magical.

57
00:02:49,000 --> 00:03:02,000
So find him on Twitter at fabel underscore org, on TikTok at fabelfactory org, Instagram at fabelfactory org or on Facebook at fabelfactory org.

58
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
And when I say org, that's O-R-G org as an organisation, I suppose.

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Yeah.

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Reid, if you're listening, thank you very, very much.

61
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Yeah, thank you very much.

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Right, TJ, as always, have you done and watched or absorbed or listened or whatevered any sci-fi for the last month?

63
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Yeah, we've already talked about it, though, and that was Rebel Moon.

64
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
So if they head over to the Variety Show, they can hear all about it.

65
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
And Gentlemen Broncos, which technically falls under sci-fi.

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
I guess it does.

67
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
But that's it, really.

68
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Nothing else.

69
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
I've not caught up on Doctor Who.

70
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
I've watched a little bit of Star Trek.

71
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Obviously, I've watched the episode that we were going to be talking about today, but watched a couple of episodes of TNG just because I could, but couldn't tell you what they were.

72
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
But that's it, really.

73
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Yeah, nothing exciting at all.

74
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
How about you?

75
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:20,000
So, yeah, we finished Doctor Who, which I don't go into spoilers because you haven't watched it, but very happy with it.

76
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Look forward to having a conversation.

77
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:30,000
I think when we talk about it, we should probably do like a spoiler cast thing because it would be really a shame to accidentally ruin it for anybody.

78
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Well, I was thinking what we should do is a little walk with the remote microphones and we'll talk about it while we walk.

79
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Yeah.

80
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,000
And it'll just be a bonus episode.

81
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
We'll put it out on whatever we put it out on.

82
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
But yeah, I've heard mixed reviews.

83
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
I've heard a lot of people saying it felt rushed and that ruined it for them.

84
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
And I've heard other people say it was absolutely phenomenal.

85
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Really, really satisfying ending to this first series.

86
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
So I'm looking forward to it.

87
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
I just need to get myself the time to sit down and watch it.

88
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
That's my issue.

89
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
I would not at all say that it was rushed.

90
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
I don't think it was rushed at all.

91
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
I know I definitely didn't get that feeling from it.

92
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:26,000
I would, my real only critique is one that you've already said, and it's kind of just how the doctor is and that you don't feel that kind of fire inside him.

93
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
He has moments of it that you like, you feel like, oh yeah, you're just getting to a crescendo of it and it just dies just before.

94
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:44,000
You never get that, you know, oh God, I'm forgetting what the name is, David Tennant or Matt Smith, moments of definite anger.

95
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Or even Peter Capaldi.

96
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
He had some, he had some brilliant Capaldi, Capaldi, whichever way he's pronounced.

97
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
He had some fantastic anger scenes.

98
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Fix this, fix it now.

99
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
It's not possible, I can't.

100
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Yes it is, you can, and you will, or this street will be over.

101
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
I'll show you and all your fun little friends to the whole laughing world.

102
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
I'll bring you in it, I'll bring the Zygons, give me a minute, I'll bring the Daleks and the Cybermen.

103
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000
You will save Clara and you will do it now or I will rain hail on you for the rest of time.

104
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Doctor, stop talking like that.

105
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
You can't.

106
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
I can do whatever the hell I like.

107
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
You've read the stories, you know who I am.

108
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,000
And in all of that time, did you ever hear anything about anyone who stopped me?

109
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
I know the Doctor.

110
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000
The Doctor is no longer here, you are stuck with me.

111
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
And I will end you and everything you love.

112
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Up to the point I've watched, I've just still not seen it with this new Doctor and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

113
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000
It's a new Doctor, so it's a new portrayal of him, but part of me does miss that fire.

114
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Yeah, as I say, you get a little bit of it, but I feel like it's not quite there.

115
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:05,000
But I think it leaves itself like that's kind of opening the door to kind of something else, you know, that I keep coming out more.

116
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000
It's also just, I don't get the whole thing of it being season one again.

117
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
That kind of is a bit weird.

118
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Yeah, that threw me.

119
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
I think it should have just carried on from where it was.

120
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Yeah, just keep going. What difference does it make?

121
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
If you're going to call it season one, then don't do any throwbacks.

122
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Don't have this lady who has been with a previous Doctor.

123
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Don't do these scenes where you're seeing all the other Doctors floating around you.

124
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000
All these things, just like, OK, if you're going to quit season one, then ignore the rest of it.

125
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000
You know, they're pulling all of the, you can't pick and choose.

126
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
I know essentially it doesn't really matter.

127
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
It's just, you know, it's still Doctor Who.

128
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Just keep the series running.

129
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Was that a spoiler?

130
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
I don't think so.

131
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Well, up to the point I've seen, there's been no one that's been with David Tennant, Matt Smith or any of the previous Doctors.

132
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
You would have seen one of his helpers at.

133
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:10,000
So what's that group on Earth? The SHIELD, or whatever they're called.

134
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Oh, SHIELD. Sorry, right. Yeah, OK.

135
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Yeah, there's a woman in SHIELD.

136
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Yeah, sorry, I know what you mean now. Yeah, OK, fine. Yeah, I understand.

137
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,000
No, fair enough. I thought you were going down the route of later on another.

138
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
No, it's just the people in SHIELD.

139
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Ah, fine. OK.

140
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
You know, that's from other Doctors.

141
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
So, well, you know, don't use all these other things from the other Doctor series then.

142
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
That's just my point.

143
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Or use SHIELD, but don't use it with characters that we've already met in the other iterations of it.

144
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Yeah, fair enough. Fair enough. I agree with that.

145
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
That's not a real critique though, is it? That's just...

146
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
No.

147
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,000
I think you might have said it, Disney now are involved and they probably just want to make it their own thing, don't they?

148
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Well, that's it. I think it's purely Disney wants to make their own thing.

149
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,000
And they're saying we're starting it from scratch with our own Doctor, our own ideas behind it.

150
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000
And we're just going to say this is the new generation.

151
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Exactly. Right. Shall we go on with it?

152
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
I think that's a very good idea.

153
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Enter authorisation code.

154
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Trials and Tribulations.

155
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
What an episode. That's all I've got to say about it.

156
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Isn't it brilliant? I was so happy with this episode, honestly.

157
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:37,000
I would almost go out to say it is one of the best Star Trek episodes ever made.

158
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,000
I haven't seen every single Star Trek ever, but certainly it's definitely one of the better ones.

159
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000
I'm just so impressed with it. What year did this come out?

160
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000
1994.

161
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,000
November 4th, 1996, according to Wikipedia. Original air date.

162
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Oh, yeah, you're right. 1994.

163
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Season 5, episode 6.

164
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:09,000
I must be looking at a different Wikipedia to you then, because I'm looking at it here and it's November 4th, 1996.

165
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Which is what you said. Sorry, I'm saying 1994.

166
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Why am I... Sorry, yeah, 1996. Ignore me. You're absolutely right. I'm going crackers here.

167
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Yeah, 1996 and everything about it, excluding the CGI remaster of the Enterprise and the Space Station.

168
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Everything else is just mind-blowingly good.

169
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:39,000
I was so impressed with the blue-screening stuff that imposing them into the old footage,

170
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,000
there's only one bit that's a little bit ropey near the end with...

171
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
We'll get to, obviously, where Cisco is...

172
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000
They're sat in the mess room and Kirk and Spot come in and they go over to the replicator.

173
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000
There's a bit where they pan past Cisco and he's sat at a desk.

174
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Just there, if I'm going to really pick holes, that moment I'm like, Cisco's not there.

175
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:09,000
But every other one, I'm just like, how did they do this? How did they do this in 1996? This is amazing.

176
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:18,000
It's genuinely hard to tell which of the scenes they re-recorded with completely new actors and everything.

177
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,000
I'm guessing that's going to be the majority of the crowd and the corridor scenes where they're walking backwards and forwards.

178
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Yeah, definitely.

179
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,000
And the original scenes from the original series. It's mind-blowingly good.

180
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:41,000
I would assume every scene is re-done unless in the camera shot it has one of the original bridge crew.

181
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I think every other scene is probably just...

182
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
No, because I've gone back and re-watched some of it. And the fight scene.

183
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Large amounts of the fight scene are the original footage.

184
00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:02,000
When there's the barman back on the scenes when all the tribbles are everywhere, you've got the barman sat behind the bar, just covered in tribbles.

185
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,000
That's the original scene. So much of it is the original scene. It's phenomenal.

186
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:15,000
It blew my mind when I first saw it. And even watching it back now, it's just so good.

187
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Yeah, I was really impressed. And also I was surprised at how funny it was.

188
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000
The whole episode is written like it's almost a comedy.

189
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Because everyone's doing little quips and jokes. Maybe that's a Deep Space Nine thing, but the whole thing I was kind of chuckling along at little stuff.

190
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:41,000
100%. It's like the two temporal investigators. They're just facing me. Someone's just said, well, let's do that whole comedy thing of the FBI with FBI.

191
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,000
We don't make jokes here, sir. And they've just done that exact kind of thing that you get in all the films.

192
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,000
And they've done it into Deep Space Nine. And you're right. There's a lot of comedy to be had.

193
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Like the whole thing. Tell Worf he smells of a lilac. That really tickled me.

194
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Yeah, that was funny. It's loads of little quips like that all the way through.

195
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:12,000
I'm just one of those temporal guys. I'm just just now IMDb-ing him. I took a screenshot I'm supposed to do this early because he's in so much stuff.

196
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Is that the taller of the two? Jim Jensen or Jensen. His name is. Yeah, he's in loads of things.

197
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:31,000
So basically, let's get on what the episode is. So it's space timey wimey stuff happens and they end up back in original Star Trek time with Kirk.

198
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000
And it's the episode of the original series where the ship gets overrun with triples.

199
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Yeah, so 105 years ago by the temporal investigation team, they've been gone back 105 years.

200
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:49,000
And yeah, you're right. It's the time of the Enterprise 1701 and I love that as well when the temporal agents at the beginning.

201
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Well, which Enterprise was it? There's been five. No, there's been six. Yeah.

202
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,000
It's all of this. Yeah, it's just a really good episode in general.

203
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Yes, they go back and, you know, time stuff happens and they have to prevent a particular character from affecting the timeline.

204
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Spoilers, I'm sure you can imagine they do. And yeah, that's it. Really.

205
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:32,000
It's quite a simple little story, really. But I think the draw of it is the fact that they've intertwined it with the original footage and put them in with the original actors.

206
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:42,000
And how they did it is magic to me. Well, number one, Darwin and modern Darwin were the same actor.

207
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
So they did use the same actor from. Yeah, that's Charlie Brill.

208
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:52,000
So they used the original actor from the original series episode for the Deep Space Nine episode, which I thought was a brilliant idea.

209
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Yeah, that was such a brilliant addition. But the two things that really surprised me.

210
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Number one, this links and I can't believe I'm saying this. This links discovery with Deep Space Nine.

211
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:13,000
It does. And that took me a little while to figure out. As I'll get to later on, I had to actually ask Miranda.

212
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:20,000
I was like, because Miranda just kept talking about it's Dax, kept talking about Dax. And she's like, it's a Dax.

213
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:27,000
I'm like, what do you mean it's a Dax? Like, she is called Dax, as I'm not understanding. And how did she live?

214
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,000
How is she saying that she had sex with McCoy? How is she saying that she knew all this thing?

215
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,000
And like, she doesn't look like she's a hundred years old. No, I'm not. I'm not even talking about Dax.

216
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Oh, OK. Well, there's two things. I'm talking about the fact that, well, possibly three.

217
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:49,000
So the link I'm talking about is that Darwin is an undercover Klingon who's been of course changed

218
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:55,000
to look human. Of course. Yeah. And we see that in Discovery Season 2, don't we? Yeah, too.

219
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:02,000
We find out that actually he's not human and he's Klingon. So we get that link.

220
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:08,000
And then I was really intrigued to know if you said about in the latest season of Discovery,

221
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:15,000
they find a time orb or something that does the whole time thing. Is it the time orb from the Deep Space Nine episode?

222
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Is it Bajoran or not? Yeah, I don't. I don't think it is that. It's some other thing.

223
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:31,000
But yeah, so that so Dax is one of those symbiotic. Yeah, she's a trill. So she has a trill.

224
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:37,000
That's the race. Yeah, she has a slug inside her basically that when her body dies, they move it.

225
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
And you later on in Deep Space Nine. So I think it's in about a series time.

226
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:50,000
The Dax we know and love, who is a brilliant Dax. She is so good as that character dies.

227
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:59,000
And then we get a much younger new Dax. Yeah. And I think it's Ezra Dax is the new one.

228
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:06,000
I can't remember what. Oh, Jadzia Dax. That's it. So yeah, Jadzia dies and then Ezra appears.

229
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
And not wanting to spoil it, Jadzia marries someone on the station.

230
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,000
And it's not who has been a sex pest for that the entire series of Deep Space Nine.

231
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:22,000
But then the new Dax is just like, yeah, no, sorry, that's the old Dax. See you later. Yeah.

232
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:29,000
It's a really horrible kind of situation. They're kind of they're basically the Stargate gold, gold, aren't they?

233
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Yeah, they're gold. Yeah, no, you're you're you're bang on.

234
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:42,000
That's exactly where that kind of comes around. And funny enough, the episode of the TNG I watched is the first true that I come across in TNG.

235
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:50,000
And what's funny is in the TNG, the slug is this giant half American football sized thing.

236
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,000
But when we see it in Deep Space Nine, it's a much smaller, daintier thing. Yeah.

237
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:06,000
They've got the trill in Discovery and I didn't even clock that they were the same because then because I don't say the word trill in this episode at all.

238
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:12,000
And the kind of facial stuff is exactly the same, obviously, but I didn't clock at any point.

239
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Is that future discovery or future?

240
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Future, so it's not not old timey discovery. So I was just going to say because if that was the case, obviously, then we kind of get that hold.

241
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Oh, because if they are in the old Discovery, so when they're back in the original series era, as it were, then it's a bit of a weird one because Dax obviously is covering up her trill marks to be on the Enterprise when they travel back in time.

242
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
But if trills are existing as part of the Federation, why did she cover them up?

243
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:52,000
There's a character in it. I don't know if they're actually part of the Federation or if they're just on the ship.

244
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Oh, fair enough. That I'm not sure.

245
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,000
That could just be all it is. But I'll just say just little things like that.

246
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:13,000
If you've got, you're going to go back to pre all of this generation, you've got to kind of make sure you're up, you stick with the law of it if you're planning on staying within the same storylines as it were.

247
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:26,000
But otherwise, no, I'm going back to Deep Space Nine. Yeah, the only it really did tickle me that holy shit. Yeah, we've got this discovery link of a human Klingon sort of thing.

248
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
So that did make me laugh.

249
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,000
But yeah, you find out about Jadzia way more if you go back and watch series one of Deep Space Nine, you'll find out all about it.

250
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Yeah, I'll have to watch a lot of Deep Space Nine. I've barely seen any of it.

251
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Like I said in my rant that was released last week, it is some of the best storytelling you'll get from Star Trek in Deep Space Nine.

252
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:59,000
I mean, I know that's an opinion thing, but I do think the stories in Deep Space Nine are better than almost all of the other treks. Yeah.

253
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:05,000
So what it lacks in some ways, it makes up in that way.

254
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:15,000
So, shall we talk about the episode as it runs through? I think that's a very good idea.

255
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Accessing library computer data.

256
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,000
So we start off and they're in Kardashian space collecting an orb.

257
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Yeah, collecting an orb.

258
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,000
And that is where it starts on the actual shuttle when the temporal agents come first, isn't it?

259
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Because it's Cisco talking about Cisco kind of reliving it and explaining it to the temporal agents who are like this great little comedy duo, aren't they?

260
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:47,000
They're proper like straight out of X-Files or something, aren't they? The guys in the black suits, men in black or something.

261
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:55,000
That was exactly I was trying to think of what it was. It's men in black where you get that typical trope of we don't tell jokes here.

262
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Yeah, they say they don't tell jokes, but clearly they're deadpanning all the jokes. They're clearly two funny guys.

263
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Very much so.

264
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000
So yeah, they go and meet Cisco and he starts explaining to them exactly what happened.

265
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:19,000
And I'd like to point out immediately I noticed he has a proper mug. He has a big solid mug with a handle.

266
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Cisco Deep Space Nine is the first Star Trek where they're using proper drinking utensils.

267
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:32,000
It's like we're on Deep Space Nine. We can't have nice things here. We can't have little fine bone china teacups.

268
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
We have to have mugs.

269
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:42,000
It's a big, heavy, almost tankard-esque mug. Green. It was beautiful. And he plonked it down.

270
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:49,000
It went down with a thud and I was like, yes, Cisco, at last. It's normal. This dude is normal.

271
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:56,000
So you could just imagine it would be like, oh no, the Cardassians are invading. Grab the mug. Smashing it around their heads as they invade the bridge.

272
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Knock everyone out with Cisco's mug. Yeah.

273
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Yeah. And my little note here is something, something Orb of Time. Yeah. They go on.

274
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:16,000
He starts talking about collecting the Orb of Time. And I was so surprised. We see Worf. I had no idea Worf was in Deep Space Nine.

275
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,000
I've literally seen so little of Deep Space Nine. They didn't know Worf was in it.

276
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000
To give you a really quick rundown of how that happens. So Next Generation finished.

277
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:33,000
We then get the Next Generation film Generations. Deanna Troi crashes the Enterprise, destroying it.

278
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:39,000
No one should have let her drive, but there you go. Enterprise is destroyed and they all are out of job, basically.

279
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000
And Worf then ends up going to Deep Space Nine. Right.

280
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:51,000
And that's why in First Contact, if you remember the beginning of First Contact, they're having to do nebular crap while the Borg are being confronted.

281
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:59,000
And then Picard's just like, screw this and takes the Enterprise E in to go and destroy the Borg cube.

282
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Report. Main power's offline. We've lost shields. Our weapons are gone.

283
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Perhaps today is a good day to die. Prepare for ramming speed.

284
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Sir, there's another starship coming in. It's the Enterprise.

285
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:32,000
And they save the Defiant from being blown up and they beam Worf back.

286
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Riker makes the whole quip about, let's say a strong little ship and Worf goes, what do you mean little?

287
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000
And Picard says, well, while you're here, you're back.

288
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,000
And that's because he's on the Defiant, which is part of Deep Space Nine. And that's where he's been.

289
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
And is he any survivor of it?

290
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:55,000
No, there's a few people on the Defiant, I think, but they basically just take him off Defiant and just leave the others.

291
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Oh, we're just nicking.

292
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000
No, I'm sure they do probably rescue all the other Defiant crew.

293
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:09,000
But yeah, it's the idea is that that's why he's back into the Enterprise at that point, because yeah, they killed him.

294
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Well, they didn't kill him. They killed off the Enterprise in Generations and they used Worf into Deep Space Nine instead.

295
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Yeah. And they are flying around in Defiant at the moment and it can cloak.

296
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:31,000
It can. So yeah, the Defiant is so many things you've missed by not watching Deep Space Nine.

297
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:44,000
It's an experimental ship that Cisco has helped build. It's got a stolen cloak, which is illegal because it breaks all sort of treaties.

298
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:50,000
And it gets used quite heavily. But it's basically a gunship.

299
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,000
It's a ship that's probably got more weapons than it does actual anything else.

300
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:01,000
I was going to say, I'm pretty sure I've watched a video about all the different starships and someone wrote how many cannons and stuff it's got.

301
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:07,000
And it is literally like a flying tank with millions of turrets and could just wipe anything out.

302
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,000
And they just don't use it in that way.

303
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:15,000
It's a full on gunship, which is why you've got Worf in first contact saying, right, fire everything.

304
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Right, fuck it. Prepare for ramming speed, because honestly, it'd probably survive.

305
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Yeah. Insane.

306
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:30,000
And then, yeah, they go through a particular kind of radiation. Would you like to know what the kind of radiation it is?

307
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Oh, go on then.

308
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
It is a chronotron radiation.

309
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Right. So, yeah, so they get chronotron radiation being picked up.

310
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:44,000
And that's the radiation you always get around time travel in Star Trek. It's always the chronotons.

311
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
That's it. So they hit some chronotron radiation.

312
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:52,000
And I thought this was like foreshadowing for something that happened later, but it's actually just what happens.

313
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:58,000
They say, oh, our shields have been dropped. The teleporter has been activated. And he's like, oh, raise the shields.

314
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,000
And then they kind of don't really say anything about it at all. It doesn't really get mentioned again.

315
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:10,000
But I think that must be the moment that the baddie teleports himself off of their ship and on to the Enterprise.

316
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:17,000
That's exactly it. So the chronotron radiation appears because the bad guy has activated the time sphere, the time orb.

317
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:25,000
They then end up going back and you can't buy Star Trek rules and law and whatever else you want to go.

318
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Except for in the final film of the original series Star Trek films, you can't beam under cloak and you can't fire under cloak.

319
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,000
So to get off the ship, you've got to drop out of cloak and then do what you want to do.

320
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:49,000
So, yeah, that's why then. So, yeah, the bad guy activates the time sphere and then turns off the cloak and escapes the ship.

321
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:56,000
And do we go back very quickly to Cisco again?

322
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Because we have a sexy Deep Space Nine intro. Well, we see the Enterprise. It gives you a shot of the Enterprise.

323
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Excuse me. And then we have the really cool deep space nine intro and then Cisco is explaining to them that the temporal guys about it.

324
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Now, one of the temporal guys makes a little quip. He's like, oh, no, it's Kirk.

325
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Now, they know about him because he's had a few temporal violations himself.

326
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Fourteen, wasn't it? Seventeen, they say. Seventeen. So he's had 17 temporal violations himself.

327
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:38,000
It'd be interesting to find out if that's if any of those are actually an episode, like if all 17 are episodes that you could count.

328
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,000
They will be. I bet they will be. They haven't just made a number up.

329
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,000
And I bet one of them includes generations. Yeah. Seeing that's a whole temporal thing as well.

330
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:53,000
But yeah, I thought that was very good. I like the fact they've got kind of this history going on with everything that they're discussing.

331
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,000
And it's just ongoing. Yeah. Because then you realise it's a little bit redundant

332
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:04,000
because if someone fucks up the timeline, all their data is wrong anyway. Yeah. Because it all changes.

333
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Well, wait, wait, wait. Again, computer program. Right.

334
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Strap yourselves in, everybody.

335
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:18,000
These idiots are going to start talking about time travel like they don't literally share a single brain cell between the two of them.

336
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Feel free to fast forward three minutes and 50 seconds if you don't want to hear all this timey wimey bollocks.

337
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,000
They wouldn't know. I think he might say this later is like, say the timelines change and they will.

338
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:36,000
We wouldn't know the time they could have changed. So their data would always be right because it would have changed.

339
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,000
So nothing would have changed for them. They wouldn't know it's changed.

340
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:46,000
So it's almost like the temporal police are kind of pointless because what are they policing?

341
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Because it's always going to change if he goes back in time and kills. So, you know, Kirk had died, for example,

342
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:03,000
then they could just go, you can't go back in time to save Kirk in our timeline. Kirk died. You have to let him die.

343
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Well, not just that. Let's say they went back and killed Kirk.

344
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Then you wouldn't get the all the origins of the films that they go through, which are huge for kind of like the Federation and Klingon piece.

345
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:27,000
And actually, when they came back, they wouldn't be meeting with the temporal police because they probably wouldn't be on Deep Space Nine at that point.

346
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
In fact, most of them probably wouldn't exist.

347
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Well, that's it. Well, that's the thing. You would they can't go back. I don't think.

348
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:40,000
It opens so many holes and so many issues with going backwards and forwards with time.

349
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:49,000
That's why I try and I know we've said a few points about it, but I always try and gloss over the potentially inaccuracies or things that happen in it,

350
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:55,000
because what are you going to do? You can't make it perfect because there's always a hole.

351
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,000
There's always a loophole somewhere that's going to screw something up.

352
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:10,000
You either can go back if you haven't changed a single thing or if what you go back to do is meant to happen as part of a loop, then that's all good.

353
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:19,000
But if you went back and actually did something, it's like one of those other theory that if you could go back in time, you cut it's actually impossible to change the past

354
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,000
because for you to have got that position, you were you have to do that.

355
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Everything you do in the past is already happened. So you can't go back in time to kill Hitler because if you went back in time to try and kill Hitler,

356
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:39,000
something happens that stops you from killing Hitler because it doesn't happen. It just straight up doesn't happen.

357
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:44,000
And that's kind of implying that there aren't multi dimensions and stuff.

358
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:51,000
But that's why I like the whole string universe theory, because if you're going to go down the route of time travel, the string universe theory is the one that makes the most sense.

359
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:58,000
You go back and you change something, it's not going to affect your current future because otherwise you would never have transported back in the first place.

360
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:06,000
And then you get that whole infinite loop of, well, if I change something and I don't exist, how did I come back in time in the first place to do this?

361
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Whereas with the whole string theory idea is you go back and change and that's now just a new string and it's going to go off in its own historical route of whatever you've changed.

362
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:23,000
You're still exists, but in their dimension or their timeline is now different to yours.

363
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Well, doesn't Doctor Who explain it by being like you're inside the TARDIS's time kind of window.

364
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,000
So by you going back in time, you're now outside of time.

365
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:46,000
So you can't back to the future yourself because now you are pulled out of any timeline that exists until you go back again.

366
00:31:46,000 --> 00:32:01,000
I'm not sure because don't forget we get that whole episode with Christopher Eccleston and Billy when she tries to save her dad from being run over and we get the weird devil angel things flying out the sky trying to kill them because she's screwed with the timeline.

367
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Yes, you're right. Those weird things. I think we need to do.

368
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,000
We're going to have to do a time travel episode at some point. Oh, definitely.

369
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Definitely. Anyway, right. Blimey.

370
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Thank fuck. That's over. Now let's get on with it.

371
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:30,000
I've got a nail appointment at 3pm. Yeah, we finished with the agents and they were back on the define and we're getting a mission briefing with O'Brien and Wharf

372
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:37,000
basically saying we've worked out where we are. We know when we are. This is what we think Darwin is doing. By the way, he's clean on. Yeah.

373
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:48,000
And they all start getting their costumes on. Yeah, which proves a point from four weeks ago. Obviously the replicators make uniforms. Yeah.

374
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Because you wouldn't just carry around some original sick. I mean, oh, right. Quickly check the defiance fancy dress cupboard. I'm sure we've got some old stuff in there.

375
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Yeah, it makes sense for Holodeck stuff, though, doesn't it? If you think about it, it's not like the Holodeck's going to have a matrix esque kind of thing of all the weapons coming out of all different clothes from any kind of possible scenario you could think of.

376
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
It's not going to happen. It probably does do that, but then replicates it for you rather than actually having it physically there.

377
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Exactly. It was a little bit weird and it felt a little bit. This was actually if I have a criticism, I'd say this is a little tiny, tiny, tiny one.

378
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:38,000
It was really weird that they did the whole filming of the putting on the uniform and it felt like it was a beginning of a 90s music video.

379
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:44,000
So you've got them pulling on the top, pulling up the boots. It's like this. This is a little weird.

380
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:57,000
I feel like maybe this is directed here by Jonathan West. I'm looking at the Wikipedia. It makes you wonder if this guy kind of he was like a special guy to come in and do a director of one episode.

381
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:09,000
You know how like Jonathan Frakes did a few. Maybe this is a similar scenario where you get these cool random episodes because they get like these random directors or random writers come in to do special episodes.

382
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Maybe that's why it feels a little bit different. But there's a good joke. Kind of the first time I really noticed that actually this is a funny episode and that is when Dax, they're saying about different clothes and she's like, and women wore less.

383
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,000
And she's got this really skimpy skirt.

384
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:37,000
I'm just going to say 12 year old me and even 40 year old me. Holy fuck. She is hot.

385
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:45,000
I mean, I always, oh mate, she was definitely would have been a pin up girl for me throughout my teenage years watching Deep Space Nine.

386
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:56,000
But her and the original series outfits, which were disgustingly skimpy, even if you look at the original series, they were tiny.

387
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
But man, she looks good in it.

388
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,000
It looks like Dax is going to be the poster on Ensign Tom's.

389
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:10,000
That is a good idea. You've got the female Vulcan from Enterprise.

390
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,000
T'Pol.

391
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Whatever her name. T'Pol.

392
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,000
And I'm going to have Jadzia Dax.

393
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Yeah.

394
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Oh yeah, I like that.

395
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:28,000
And this is when we get a really good look at the set too. They're walking through the corridor of the Enterprise. But it's such a good job recreating the sets.

396
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Oh, so much, so much just care and attention was put into it. I know this was around the 30th anniversary of Star Trek Full Stop, which again, I think that's another 30 years ago at this point.

397
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Well, nearly 30 years ago. So I know they would have put more money into this, especially as it was the original series they were working with.

398
00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:04,000
But it's just so well done. Everything about it, the uniforms, the style. I can't place anything wrong with it.

399
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Yeah.

400
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,000
It was just it. It's perfect.

401
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Next we get O'Brien and the really young looking Doctor stuck in the lift because they can't figure out how the lifts work.

402
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Which is again a brilliant moment. And then they have that bit, I won't tell if you don't.

403
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Yeah, because really you actually have to hold the handle and speak, which is an odd thing.

404
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:41,000
But that's a joke lifted from Star Trek for the Voyage Home, the film. I don't know if you remember. That's the one where they go back in time to save the whales.

405
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,000
One of the 17 times Kirk broke the Temple Lord.

406
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,000
We've got two we've mentioned already.

407
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:54,000
And Scotty picks up the mouse to the Mac and goes, hello computer.

408
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,000
And it's like he gets given the keyboard. It's like, oh, how quaint.

409
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:06,000
And that's exactly the same joke, isn't it? They're on the original Enterprise and they're expecting everything to be voice command. And it's not.

410
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Well, that's like I saw some great videos of this guy. What's his name? Pirate Software is his kind of username.

411
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000
I know who you mean. Yeah. His name's Thor, I think.

412
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:26,000
And he did a Minecraft kind of convention thing and they had loads of computers set up for kids.

413
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:34,000
And he said he made a point that half of the kids went to touch the screen because they thought it was touchscreen, even though the keyboard and mouse were in front of them.

414
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:40,000
And then they had to give them all controllers because none of them could use the keyboard and mouse.

415
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:49,000
So it's that kind of happening in real life. You can imagine Scotty never using a mouse before. It's the same as our kids. Don't know how to use a mouse and keyboard.

416
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Oh, dear. But yeah, so that's Dr. Julian Bashir again, as you don't know, Deep Space Nine.

417
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,000
He is the Geordie of Deep Space Nine.

418
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:08,000
He basically every opportunity he gets for the first four seasons is trying to lay Jadzia every episode.

419
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Oh, gross. And it is pretty great. It's actually uncomfortable.

420
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Yeah, I don't like that stuff. But it's kind of of the era. Not saying that that's right, but like Geordie always trying to get laid, it's just a little bit more constant with Bashir.

421
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,000
But do you feel sorry for Bashir's actor for it?

422
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Yes, because his character, excluding that, is phenomenal. He's got a really good character arc and the actor himself is brilliant.

423
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Yeah. It's just really disappointing that they felt the need to do that. And it is. But anyway, you will find out about that when we watch more Deep Space Nine.

424
00:38:50,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Then we see the first bit now of really good blue screening, because it's when Odo is in the background where the in the mess room after he spoke to that lady about getting Klingon coffee.

425
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:14,000
You see the trader at the bar talking to the barman and he gets a treble out and you see Odo in the background.

426
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:24,000
And that's the first time I was like, oh, oh, well, that's cool. And he looks like he's meant to be there. He looks like there's no I couldn't spot in the short time that you see it.

427
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:33,000
Any kind of normal blue screen artifacts you can see around stuff. It probably looked even better before it got HD-ified.

428
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Well, that's the thing. So Deep Space Nine, I'm pretty sure like Voyager has never been remastered. Hundreds of thousands of people want it remastered, but they stopped at TNG.

429
00:39:47,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Don't ask why. Don't know. But you're right. Watching Deep Space Nine now on the bigger screen in the original format is a risk because obviously it was designed for CRT TVs or small SD ones.

430
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:09,000
And yeah, now we've got them on this big HD screen. You'd expect to maybe see the rough edges of things. But in this episode, that doesn't exist.

431
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Didn't see it. It looked brilliant. Thought I'd always been there. Miranda said to me that when it originally aired, they actually aired the original episode first before the Deep Space Nine one.

432
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:29,000
That I couldn't tell you, but I would not be surprised if they did, because that sounds a very good idea.

433
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Yeah. So you remember watching that and then watching that one straight after. I've just made a comment. This episode's funny. It is. And Worf's here now and he's saying the Tribbles are the mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire.

434
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Oh, got the whole story of like the Klingons sending out Klingons across the galaxy to exterminate them. It's like, wow, you've taken that too far. I love it.

435
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:05,000
And even Odo's there going, really? And he's there being really cute, isn't he? He's like doing a little boobie talk like this to the Tribble like it's a little pussycat.

436
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:15,000
He told me Tribbles like everyone, but this one doesn't seem to like you. The feelings. Feelings mutual. They are detestable creatures.

437
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Interesting. It's been my observation that most humanoids love soft furry animals, especially if they make pleasing sounds.

438
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:34,000
They do nothing but consume food and breed. If you feed that thing more than the smallest morsel in a few hours, you'll have 10 Tribbles, then 100, then a thousand.

439
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Calm down.

440
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000
They were once considered mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire.

441
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:47,000
As a character that I historically don't like, Odo, I think I'm going to have to watch them all again.

442
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Well, just watch them. But whichever ones I've seen, I've always not liked his character and I can't place what it is because I like the actor.

443
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
I just don't know why I don't like the character.

444
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,000
You're designed not to meant to like him.

445
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Really?

446
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:09,000
You're meant to be an antagonist rather than a protagonist for a lot of them.

447
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
It's a weird flip actually.

448
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:19,000
So Quark, as much as he should probably be in Federation jail for the majority of Deep Space Nine for the things he does, and trust me, you will get there.

449
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
We will get there.

450
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:36,000
The number of times Quark is involved in making Deep Space Nine nearly fall to an enemy because he's invited them on board for illegal trading or invited people to come on knowing that they're there to kill someone from the Federation.

451
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,000
He'd be in jail by this point.

452
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:55,000
He should be the protagonist, the antagonist, sorry, the bad guy. But instead you tend to find Quark is more the protagonist and Odo, who should be the protagonist, often ends up feeling like the antagonist because he's stopping the fun.

453
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:11,000
And that's the reason. He is the person there to kind of keep everything moving forward and in a straight, narrow kind of line and legal. And he does it so well that it comes across on TV like, God, he's a party pooper. I don't like him.

454
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:25,000
But there are some good episodes where you actually get his whole background and again the character art for him and you start to not just feel sorry for him, but you will develop an emotional attachment to him.

455
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Yeah. I think you said to me before he gets better by the end.

456
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Oh, 100%.

457
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:37,000
One episode I've seen loads and we've talked about before is the one where he gets stuck in the lift with that woman.

458
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,000
With Troy's mum.

459
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Yeah, because I didn't know that was Troy's mum. Yeah, I remember you telling me it was Troy's mum.

460
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Is he the same race as what they're scared of in Picard?

461
00:43:47,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Yeah, he's a changeling. So Deep Space Nine, basically, he is the first changeling that anyone has ever come across. The Cardassians used him as kind of a pet and then eventually let him be the security officer.

462
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:11,000
And then the Federation came along and said, no, we want you to stay as the Federal as the security officer here. But then in Deep Space Nine, we come across more of the changelings.

463
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:23,000
And then it's those changelings that start, I think it's the Dominion War or help with the Dominion War and they turn out to be utter shits. And obviously they hold the grudge all the way through to Picard.

464
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:28,000
And I don't need to go back to a big lake of liquid or something.

465
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Yeah, he goes to the big Jizz Pool in the sky.

466
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Right. So that's where they all go eventually, is that they all have to return when their time is up.

467
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:46,000
They don't have to. I can't remember, if I'll be honest. They can go back and they can merge into it and then it's like swimming around with millions of your own family.

468
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,000
And you can come out of it though.

469
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Yeah, you can come out of it or you can just start. His rule that is set up in Deep Space Nine is whereas we go to sleep, he has to not have form. He needs to be a puddle in a bucket.

470
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Right. Yeah, that was the thing. Yeah, because he goes in a dress or something. Yeah.

471
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Yeah. And what they kind of say is the Great Lake where all the other changelings are, they've chosen just to stay in the Great Lake rather than take form most of the time.

472
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Right. Okay.

473
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Where were we? Yeah, red alarms go off.

474
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,000
Yeah, and the Klingons turn up.

475
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Yeah, we see this great bit where we see a ship full of people. There's people everywhere.

476
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:31,000
We're walking around. Even I think Dax mentioned it earlier. It's like, oh, they really pack them in.

477
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,000
It's really busy.

478
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Yeah.

479
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Yes, they really pack them in.

480
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:41,000
She toes on about a guy called Ike. I've written down Iks Groth.

481
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,000
Oh, I thought she meant Gout.

482
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Was it? She says Groth, I thought, whatever it is. Somebody seems to know. I don't know who that is.

483
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Yeah. So basically that's an old Klingon friend of hers from when she used to be a man.

484
00:45:52,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Right. So when Sisko first knew, so Sisko is best friends with Dax and Sisko is best friends with the Dax that became Jadzia Dax.

485
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:23,000
So he's having to get to know this new Dax all over again in Deep Space Nine, basically. Although she's got all the memories of all the lifetimes the Triller's been through, when you become a new host, you start your own life with their memories and their teachings and everything like that.

486
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,000
Yeah.

487
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:28,000
So you can choose to do what, so you might not be friends with the people that you were friends with previously.

488
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:37,000
It just so happens that they do become friends and they stay friends. But yeah, she was also friends with Klingons previously.

489
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Yeah. So really this episode does a lot of chopping and changing, doesn't it? It goes around with Dax and Sisko, then it chops between O'Brien and Dr. Man. What's his name again? Sorry.

490
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Dr. Bashir.

491
00:46:46,000 --> 00:47:00,000
There's a lot of flip-flopping between the two of them throughout. And we go back to another lift scene and we get a little bit of I'm my own grandpa.

492
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Many, many years ago when I was 23, I was married to a widow.

493
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Stop. You'll really get us in trouble with this one. We don't need Ray Stevens on our arse.

494
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
Yeah, we get back to the future.

495
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:27,000
Back to the future where this lady is flirting with Bashir and turns out he has a feeling that that might be his great grandmother.

496
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Yeah.

497
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:39,000
And I just love that. I instantly just said to her, I'm my own grandpa. And luckily O'Brien gets them out of there and they teleport, I think.

498
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:46,000
And I kind of thought, what a shame they didn't use the original teleporting image.

499
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,000
That would have been nice.

500
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Just in case they got caught teleporting, you know, I'm sure that all the sparkles and stuff, they could have just had a little bit of fun with it and be like, oh, we have to make the teleporter look like the old teleporter.

501
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:03,000
Hang on, O'Brien. What we're going to do, we've got a whole canister of glitter here.

502
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:11,000
We're going to transport the glitter above your head and then we're going to transport you back. So just stand there in the glitter and it will be fine.

503
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Yeah. I kind of, I got this fun of vague memory of one of the visual effects guys for the original series saying it's actually just a torch shining on tin foil of how they did the graphic.

504
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:28,000
That I can't remember, but that does sound very familiar. It would have been something similar to that. And then it would have been overlaid over the original.

505
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:39,000
Yeah. When we kind of shoot forward a little bit, Dax proclaims that she actually fancies Spock and not Kirk when she sees them both talking on the machine.

506
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:50,000
This is another great scene where we see Spock and Kirk go up to like a communicating to what even now is actually probably out of date, really a phone or a wall, essentially.

507
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:55,000
It's like a house phone. Like, I don't think they'd really be doing that.

508
00:48:55,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Well, don't forget. So the original series, I believe Gene Roddenberry aimed for it to feel very like the Navy.

509
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Yeah.

510
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:18,000
And if you look at naval ships or 50s, 60s and even you didn't have radios and stuff. You had wall panels that you ran up to to speak to the bridge or so. Yeah, actually it kind of fits with where Gene Roddenberry originally.

511
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Yeah. But we said that all the time that they kind of look almost like submarines or naval vessels. We keep saying that, don't we? It feels like that's the kind of feel they're going for. Yeah, you're right. That does suit it.

512
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:36,000
But at the same time, you're thinking they're so far in the future. He would just flip out his little communicator, wouldn't he?

513
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Yes, basically.

514
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:51,000
Yeah. And then we have another really funny bit where they're like, they're all in the mess hall and there's a Klingons there. And then the staff goes, oh, yeah, the Klingons over there.

515
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:58,000
And they're like, there's Klingons in here. And obviously they don't look anything like what Klingons are. And then they all just slowly turn to wharf.

516
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:10,000
It's a long story. That three heads converge into that kind of little loats, that central bit on the screen. And then so, yeah, I don't we don't talk about it. And we don't talk about it with outsiders.

517
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Yeah, it's really is a really funny little little bit because I don't know if they really have said why. If it was like.

518
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:35,000
I don't think they do. And I think it's an ongoing joke because like in Picard season three, wharf basically gets exactly the same line when it's joked that it was wharf's fault about the Enterprise E.

519
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:46,000
And wharf said we don't talk about that. It's almost exactly the same thing again. So it's like, wharf, are you holding secrets from us here?

520
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:54,000
And then we have the fight scene that we alluded to earlier. Who is it? We've got Scotty. Does it Chekov?

521
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:59,000
You've got Scotty, Chekov and the guy they mistake for Kirk, some other guy.

522
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Yeah, no idea who that's meant to be. And then a guy, crew member number three.

523
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Even that, that was incredible. The swapping between the real TOS episode and then characters that have been made up to look like the ones that we see.

524
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:25,000
And the interchanging of it, just all of it, unbelievably clever. Yeah, they have a big ruck.

525
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:38,000
And obviously wharf is probably one of the least adept fighting characters there. He has a bit of a fight, but you'll notice, I think, I think Bashir has some really good little fighty bits.

526
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:46,000
And like he looks like he walloped somebody actually hurts them. And you see Chekov fighting the Klingon, does no damage. He's like punching the Klingon in the chest.

527
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:59,000
Nothing happens. And then you just kind of see wharf kind of grappling with someone who's like, come on, you're meant to be this, we say it all the time, you're meant to be this super duper tactical Klingon dude.

528
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Beat the crap out of everyone. Like he does in Picard, they fixed him in Picard.

529
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Yes they did. They finally fixed him in Picard. It only took him being in his third generation of Star Trek series to get fixed.

530
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:25,000
I kind of get the idea that that's because he's finally accepted who he is. And he's finally accepted everything that's happened with all the meditation, the stuff we see in Picard that he's doing.

531
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Whereas Deep Space Nine and TNG, he's still deeply troubled by the fact that he's Klingon, but he's not been brought up Klingon. And that he's this kind of, he's the black sheep of the Klingon race.

532
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:52,000
And all of the TNG and Deep Space Nine is him coming to terms with that. Whereas I like to think Picard, he's finally come to terms with that, which allows him to actually use his full potential.

533
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:57,000
I agree with that I think. And then the two idiots get arrested.

534
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Yes they all get arrested.

535
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:12,000
I think we have my favourite scene now in the entire show where they have the line up and they've got Bashir and O'Brien in the line up and Kirk addresses them directly.

536
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:17,000
I want to see this scene from the original one. They must have just overlaid them onto two other people.

537
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,000
They did.

538
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:30,000
Okay, that must be what they did. And they must have, he must interact with a random crew member who is now being voice replaced by O'Brien, I'm assuming.

539
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Yes.

540
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:36,000
Because I haven't seen the original episode. And it is, in my opinion, it's flawless.

541
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,000
It looks exactly like they're there.

542
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Again, for something that happened in 1996, this is so good. I think if it happened now and it was a Marvel film it would look shit.

543
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:57,000
It would all be done by CGI and it would have the uncanny valley side thing so something wouldn't look right.

544
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:06,000
I tell you actually, the best way to describe it, it would be like Disney and the second Tron film, which I can't remember its name.

545
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,000
I haven't seen them.

546
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:13,000
Oh, really? Okay, well, I will very quickly send you a picture of what I'm talking about.

547
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:21,000
So in the second Tron film, they had a, just called Tron Legacy. Sorry, that's it.

548
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:30,000
And basically they carry on the story from the original Tron film. Now the original Tron film you have to watch and actually I've got a really big soft spot for Tron.

549
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,000
I've seen the original Tron film.

550
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,000
Oh, good.

551
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,000
I thought you were saying there's two new ones.

552
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:42,000
I don't know. So that continued. So Tron Legacy carries on and there was another Tron film coming.

553
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:53,000
But they basically CGI'd Jeff Bridges to look young. So they had old Jeff Bridges and they had new Jeff Bridges.

554
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:58,000
And I am sending you the image via WhatsApp now so we can do this live.

555
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,000
Okay. I was looking at the riverside.

556
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:07,000
You will see what I mean. It looks amazing, but there's something not right.

557
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Oh, yeah, that's weird. Well, you think you can tell it's him but tell it's not.

558
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:18,000
Yeah, it's something is unsettling about it and it's almost always the eyes or the skin texture.

559
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:23,000
It's the skin texture. That is the skin texture on him. It's too...

560
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,000
In that it's particularly the skin texture, but in other things...

561
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000
It's too smooth.

562
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:38,000
Yeah. And in fact, there's another one. I'm just trying to find a decent quality of it.

563
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:45,000
When you're watching it, it's pretty good when you watch it because he's obviously moving.

564
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:50,000
And I'll send you this smaller version of it because obviously you see what I mean.

565
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:55,000
It looks good when it's small, but you can still see there's something not right.

566
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:01,000
And for me, it's always the eyes. You look at the eyes and either they're not quite looking in the right direction or the right location.

567
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,000
That looks better.

568
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:08,000
It does look better, but it's still not right. And you can't put your finger on what it is.

569
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:14,000
And if we were talking about trials and tribulations now, this is what they would do.

570
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:24,000
They wouldn't necessarily use all the old footage. What they would do is they recreate the footage and they'd use CGI.

571
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,000
Face mapping.

572
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:32,000
They've done that with a Star Wars. I don't want to spoil for anybody that hasn't seen it.

573
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,000
They literally do that. They bring someone...

574
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:41,000
Rogue One. They did that in there as well. Peter Cushing's face, wasn't it?

575
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:45,000
Yeah. No, you're right. And they do that quite well, I'd actually say. That's very good.

576
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,000
That is a good one.

577
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,000
They do it in... What's the Bounty Hunter guy?

578
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Oh, Boba Fett.

579
00:56:52,000 --> 00:57:03,000
The other one. Mandalorian. They do it in Mandalorian Season 2. They bring Luke Skywalker into it at one point.

580
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,000
And I bet it doesn't look very good.

581
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:12,000
It looks very good. But they used somebody who looked like him a bit.

582
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:18,000
And then they did obviously a face thing onto his face.

583
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:27,000
And it's convincing enough. I wasn't there going, oh, that looks weird. It's convincing enough.

584
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:32,000
But that's fine. But Disney are involved and Disney has the moolah.

585
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Whereas if this was modern day Star Trek, even with the budget that Paramount puts into it, I don't think they'd put enough into it.

586
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:45,000
Disney have the moolah, but they don't pay their guys enough or give them enough time.

587
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:50,000
I mean, you've seen some of the recent Marvel ones like the Doctor Strange with the eye.

588
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,000
The third eye is awful in that film.

589
00:57:53,000 --> 00:58:00,000
And I haven't seen the Ant-Man film, but that stretched out guy. I've not seen that film yet.

590
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Yeah, Modoc is awful. It's just a joke. I wouldn't actually watch it. It will break Marvel for you more than it already is.

591
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:19,000
But look, we're getting away from it. So they're at the line up. Yep. O'Brien gets to speak to Kirk, albeit saying, I don't know who started it.

592
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:25,000
And then it comes to Chekov. And the transition is beautiful. It's not faulted.

593
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:30,000
And then they're all sent off to their quarters and told, right, stay in your quarters until this is dealt with.

594
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:41,000
Yeah. And then the kind of story just a bit, a bit of a progressive bit, they realized that baddie, they capture the baddie guy, don't they? Because they spot him at the end of the fights at Odo and Worf bringing back.

595
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:47,000
They discover that there's a bomb inside one of the tribbles. So they have to start scanning the ship.

596
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:59,000
So Cisco and Dax go to the bridge to try and use the bridge computers to quickly scan everywhere.

597
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:08,000
We get another beautiful bit of blue screening where Kirk looks straight at Dax and Dax kind of grins back at him and smiles back at him.

598
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Oh, it's because he sits on a triple, doesn't he? When he sits on his chair, he sits on one.

599
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,000
Yeah, she's kind of oopsie.

600
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:30,000
Yeah, oops. And then it kind of is the next bit where we then are in the mess hall and this is the bit where Cisco's kind of sat front facing on the table.

601
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Not quite. So basically they're scanning and then it goes to Odo, Worf and Bashir scanning all the tribbles.

602
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:48,000
They say, right, we've done two decks, but there's no way we're going to find it. We get the joke that Jed Sears said, well, yes, there's 1,577,000 and whatever the number is.

603
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Yeah.

604
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Yeah. And this is because they populate at this speed, blah, blah, blah. So we get all of that and Cisco's like, oh, sorry, no.

605
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Yeah, Cisco then said, well, we'll go to the bridge and we'll scan from there. No, sorry. I'm all about.

606
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Right. So, yeah, they've come off the bridge to message them. They give their update and then they say, well, we'll go to the mess hall and we'll stay close to Kirk and find out where he's going.

607
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,000
And maybe that will give us an idea where the bomb is, which is fine because that's what they do.

608
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:23,000
And they find out that they're going to the grain silo basically, which is where the bomb triple must be.

609
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:28,000
But he goes to get himself a chicken sandwich and I think coffee.

610
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:33,000
Now, he doesn't call it a food replicator. Well, it's not replicated.

611
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:51,000
So, again, original series. It's so old that it's set up in a way that in the 50s, 60s and 70s, when you used to go to a lower cost restaurant, what you did is they would have a wall full of serving hatches.

612
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:59,000
And what you do is you go on, lift it up and take your food out of the hatch. And basically, you know what was in each hatch roughly.

613
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:05,000
And you take it and then you go and pay for it. And then what would happen is there'd be cooks in the kitchen behind the hatches.

614
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:12,000
And any time there's a slot empty, another dish would then be pushed in. And that's exactly what's happening on the Enterprise.

615
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:25,000
And that's what we saw in the Enterprise episode we watched where the alien race, the quarks race.

616
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:30,000
Oh, the Ferengi. And he goes and nicks all those pies and stuff.

617
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:43,000
Yeah. But what's interesting is in original series and also in Enterprise, you get the idea that actually, well, not the idea, you know that the cook cooks specifically for the captain of the ship.

618
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:49,000
And the food is bought to them normally. But I like the fact that in the original series, they don't just have food bought to them all the time.

619
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:53,000
It's just like, I found you a sandwich. I'll just quickly nip in the metal and I'll grab one.

620
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,000
Yeah. And his is covered in tribbles.

621
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:04,000
Yes. And there's just tribbles everywhere. And they call it a food processor is actually what he calls it. They're in the food processor is what Scotty says.

622
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:07,000
That's the actual wording he uses.

623
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:13,000
Yes, they're in the machinery. He comes in, the tribbles are everywhere, Captain. They're in the machinery.

624
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:21,000
And then Spock says they're in the vents. Oh, there's other vents on the space station like these vents at the grain.

625
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:31,000
Yeah. And that's where they know, oh, right. That's where we're going. Yeah. And then it clips to them coming down the ladder into the grain and they start scanning the thousands of tribbles in there.

626
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:44,000
Yeah. And then we have it's kind of they're in the hatch. I think, aren't they? Where Kirk is underneath and he opens the hatch and all the tribbles start falling on him.

627
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:52,000
And they're in that one where they're all falling out. So obviously they're trying to find it while the tribbles are landing on Kirk's head.

628
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Obviously they find it. Two classic comedy moments there because basically they cut between.

629
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:07,000
So Cisco throws a triple. Yeah. And then it goes to Kirk and you see a triple drop out the hatch and hit him in the head. Yeah. And it's like, oh, so Cisco threw that, didn't it? Yeah.

630
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:17,000
And then Zia does it again in a bit and you get to see it again. I did notice that they're quite happy to just throw the tribbles around after they've scanned them.

631
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:25,000
These are actual creatures. Yeah. OK. You might not like them, but they're just being themselves. They're living their best lives just eating and fucking.

632
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:30,000
You know, and you're just chucking them around just because they're upsetting you. You know.

633
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:37,000
So the funny thing is, is again, they follow on from the original series properly. So in the original series, they check the grain and the grain is poisoned.

634
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:43,000
And that's why the tribbles are dead. Yeah. And that's why they go down. Well, they're gorged on poisoned grain.

635
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:48,000
So they knew it was poisoned without scanning the grain because it's already happened in their history.

636
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:53,000
So they know at this point that grain is poisoned and Kirk will find that out. Yeah.

637
01:03:53,000 --> 01:04:00,000
And then Spock says the exact same number of tribbles that Jack said.

638
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:06,000
And then carries on with the description as well with their replication rate over three days it would be.

639
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:09,000
Yeah. That was a very funny little bit.

640
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Let me see if I can remember. It was like the 10 tribbles every 12 hours across 24 hours.

641
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:28,000
Yeah. Then across three days, I think it then cuts out. But it's just very, very funny that they have that moment revisited.

642
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:40,000
I'm just saying it's the comedy moment again, isn't it? It's been done purely as the comedy thing, because again, Dax shrugs her shoulders while looking at Cisco going, I did say.

643
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:48,000
So 10 every 12 hours. So through asexual reproduction, tribbles can produce with liters of 10 every 12 hours, all of whom will then go on to do the same.

644
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:54,000
A single triple could therefore have over 1.7 million descendants over the course of three days.

645
01:04:54,000 --> 01:05:02,000
And even McCoy even comes on to screen at one point, doesn't he? He says, well, Jim, as far as I can tell, they're born pregnant.

646
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:07,000
Yeah, they're born pregnant. Yeah.

647
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:12,000
They find the triple. They beam it off into space where it blows up.
