1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:24,440
I'm just going to press record now and wonder if everyone can pick up that bloody dog.

2
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,360
How do I make the TV go?

3
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,360
How do I make the Apple TV work up here?

4
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:38,880
Hello. It's a Chromecast, not an Apple TV for God's sake. It was in an HDMI 4.0. I've

5
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,880
been messing around.

6
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,080
Oh, it's all Rob's fault.

7
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:48,280
I've got, I think I might have linked it to you, like a 30 pound composite to HDMI converter.

8
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,760
Yes, I remember you sending me that.

9
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Really good. Genuinely really good. The best one I've seen, I've seen a few.

10
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,840
Okay.

11
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:03,000
It's a change between 480, 720 and 1080. It's got a little switch and yeah, it's a bloody

12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
dog.

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Really going for it tonight.

14
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,040
I think you might not pick it up. The SNES comes through really good on it and so does

15
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,040
the Mega Drive.

16
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,040
Nice.

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,560
Whereas they don't normally come through very well on some and particularly the SNES is

18
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,000
a classic one for not coming through very well.

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,960
Yeah. They always look pretty pony on most of those things.

20
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:26,600
And it's also on a massive television, which also is like a big faux pas. You know, when

21
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:32,520
I had the slightly smaller one, it's going to make me sound like I'm right fucking snob

22
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:38,000
with stuff, but I got a TV from a client because they were going to bin it and I was like,

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,640
don't bin it, I'll just take it. And I got it. I got the motherboard repaired for a hundred

24
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:47,960
quid from a repair place. So it's a 42 inch 4k Samsung for a hundred quid.

25
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,240
Can I just interject though? There are so many things you can do to fix most TVs, especially

26
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:59,040
modern TVs. So Gem, when she lived at her flat had a, well, I can't think of which

27
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,200
make it was now. It was my, it was either a Toshiba or a Panasonic TV. I think it was

28
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,680
a Toshiba TV and the backlight went on it. And I went over, I put my torch against the

29
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,480
screen and it's, oh no, the picture's still there. It's just the backlight's gone. I think

30
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:20,000
it cost me 25 quid on eBay to buy a replacement backlight. It took me 20 minutes to get the

31
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,680
back off, put the new one in and screw it back together. Boom, done. I'm not an electrician

32
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,880
at all. It was piss easy though. And that TV lasted for another three or four years.

33
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,360
I used to solder the pots on say LG power boards because that's always what would go.

34
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,000
We'd all always buy LGs, me, Miranda, a few friends of mine, Chris and Jane. And Jane's

35
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,160
one I think I repaired hers twice over the years because the pots would just go on it

36
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,680
and just, okay, open up, put the pots in the pots. You'd buy like 50 of them for like three

37
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,880
quid and you just sold a new one's on off you go. And they're really easy because they'd

38
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,880
all literally be blown.

39
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,160
It's just, it's, it's really annoying that people just throw away things like that because

40
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,960
it is so easy to fix a lot of them. I know they're not meant to be serviceable by you,

41
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,280
but they've been made pretty serviceable.

42
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,760
Yeah. Some of them at TVs aren't that bad. I don't know really about OLEDs and stuff now.

43
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,120
I've never had to repair any.

44
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,200
No. And things with that dinette. Well, so I've got one of those LED TVs that's got the

45
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,480
area dimming. So if there's no picture on there, it dims it and you, well, you've seen

46
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,600
it in my office. It's almost like an ammo LED. It's almost as black and as dark. It's really

47
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,400
nice. I'd hate to see what the lighting behind that's like.

48
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Yeah. The, if that, when those things go wrong, they do go wrong.

49
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,560
Oh, absolutely. But the TVs we can buy cheap that most people have in like bedrooms and

50
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,040
stuff, you can fix them.

51
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,400
Yeah. Enter authorization code.

52
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,800
That was an interesting start to the Star Trek.

53
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,680
That's a bit of a random start to a Star Trek podcast, granted.

54
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,800
Almost cold open-ish, but without the jokes. So what have you been up to?

55
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,720
Fuck all. Work. It really has just been work. And I've just been writing some sporadic bits

56
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,840
of code that we suddenly needed because we started a new project and we thought rather

57
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,480
than just wing it and build what we need through kind of mouse clicks and stuff, let's actually

58
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,800
do what we do after we've built it and seen it work and just build it from scratch in

59
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,880
code first. And then once we know it's working from that point, it's easier to roll out instead

60
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,480
how we previously, as I said, previously, we normally do things. We just launch things

61
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,400
like Azure portal. We'll create what we need in there and then we'll work it out later

62
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,760
if that works for what they need. And no, we did it a different way. So it's been a

63
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:42,080
bit of a busy week. So I've not watched any TV. I've not watched any sci-fi, not watched

64
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,120
any films. I think the last film I watched was with Jem and we watched the menu, which

65
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,120
had nothing to do with sci-fi, but it's a bloody good film. It's weird. Weird as hell.

66
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,480
Ralph finds in it is amazing.

67
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,120
That's the one where they all go to the place, isn't it?

68
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,000
That's it. They go to his restaurant. It's a little bit weird and things start

69
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,120
not going wrong. It's all for a purpose, but

70
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,320
Is it a bit knives outy? Not the comedy, but the kind of principle of it, like knives out,

71
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,480
they all go to one place and they all start getting murdered.

72
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,600
Basically yeah, they've all gone there, but they don't really know the reason they're

73
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,680
there. They all think they're there because they love this restaurant and they love this

74
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,780
chef and it's impossible to get a table. What none of them realize is that they've all contributed

75
00:05:27,780 --> 00:05:30,640
in some way. It's almost a little bit like saw.

76
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,640
Okay.

77
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,040
It's weird to say when it's such a complete opposite of film style, but in saw, the original

78
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,800
saw, if you remember it, the two people are in the, and in fact all the people in saw,

79
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,620
the reason that he's captured them and he's done these things to them is to remind them

80
00:05:44,620 --> 00:05:50,400
what life is about and not to waste what they have. In the menu, he's basically, everybody's

81
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:58,200
in there. He sees as a failure of humanity and why he doesn't want to really be a chef

82
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,200
anymore.

83
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,200
Yeah.

84
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,160
So weird, but it's really good. Really worth watching. It's on Disney plus at the moment.

85
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,160
He just saw what happened.

86
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,480
I did. I just saw the world's smartest dog open the door and then come, ha ha daddy.

87
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,480
I've opened the door.

88
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,480
He's not the clever one.

89
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,480
Oh, he's not the clever. He's learning.

90
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,120
Yeah, he's learning.

91
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,120
He's learning people. He's learning.

92
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,360
Sorry, that was Link just opened the door.

93
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,360
Right.

94
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,360
When it's only Loki.

95
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,360
It's only Loki. Yeah.

96
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,360
Loki the banana stealer.

97
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:34,240
Yeah, so it's not my turn to talk yet, but I will say what Loki did today was I'd made

98
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,040
all my lunch, zipped up the lunch bag, put it on the kitchen counter, go is and was like,

99
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,000
I need to go to toilet, went to toilet. But time I come out the toilet, the lunch bag

100
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,240
wasn't on the floor. It was still on the counter, but moved unzipped and the bananas were gone

101
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,240
and eaten.

102
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,840
That is an impressive dog you have bred.

103
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:54,040
Yeah, I don't know. It's the unzipping that gets me.

104
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,960
Dog wraps a human hybrid.

105
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,640
Yeah. You've played cult of the lamb.

106
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,080
I have been playing cult of the lamb. Yeah, I've played a little bit, but this week probably

107
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,520
no more than an hour here or there.

108
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,520
Yeah.

109
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,440
And I may have watched an episode of Laura Laura SVU, but really, I haven't done much

110
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,680
else. It really has been a bit of a lemon of a week really.

111
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,480
And panic editing the variety show.

112
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:31,360
I've been playing cult of the lamb, lots of it. Probably about half an hour at least

113
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,400
every night before I was going to bed. Dog's now got a squeaky toy.

114
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,120
I'm so glad I don't edit this one.

115
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:52,240
Oh my God. Yeah, so literally it took me all week to generate 26 sin. Because I wanted

116
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,240
to get a particular...

117
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,240
Sin watch.

118
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,720
Yeah, sin watch. I wanted to get a particular... What is it? A gown? What's the thing that

119
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,720
you...

120
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,720
The cloak.

121
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,960
The cloak thing that the lamb wears and you spend 10 sin. I got to 20 because for some

122
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,360
reason I thought I had to spend 20 on it, but it's actually only 10.

123
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,360
Right.

124
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,680
And I thought that you start with a blunderbuss every time. So I got that. So now every time

125
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,120
I go in something, I will start with a blunderbuss.

126
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,120
Nice.

127
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,400
Which is good because I quite like the blunderbuss. It actually makes some of the smaller, more

128
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,240
annoying enemies a bit easier.

129
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Right. Okay. Because the doctrine that is not doctrine, it might be the doctrine. Whichever

130
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,120
bit I've unlocked, I now start every map straight away with four tarot cards.

131
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,720
Yeah, I've got that too. Yeah, I did that one.

132
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,200
I thought, you know, I'll choose that one. It makes so much more sense than going around

133
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,720
and finding the tarot card by tarot card because it's almost, you're going to end up with those

134
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,960
ones anyway.

135
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,640
That's the cloak. I think that's one of the cloaks.

136
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,640
You're right.

137
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,240
So now I won't have that because I've chosen this blunderbuss one. So I'm going to see how

138
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:55,880
I get on with it. Breeding them like mad. That costs sin. Upgrading the temple. So now

139
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:01,640
as you saw, it's like a horrific hell bone palace. That costs a lot of sin.

140
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,640
It's feeling very cultish.

141
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,040
Yeah. I've got lots of fire totems, all kinds of stuff going on in mine. There's a lot of

142
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,000
sex, a lot of drinking and the little fuckers, when they drink those, they fight. So they

143
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,240
fight each other. So I'm breaking up fights all the time. They damage ornaments. They'll

144
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,240
destroy them. So I'm going around repairing the ornaments that they're destroying.

145
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,840
It's such a weirdly lovely game. It's just got so much to it.

146
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,120
But it's not annoying. That's the thing. When all those things happen, another fight between

147
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,160
the two really adorable fox things.

148
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,480
Don't get me wrong. In the early stages, like I am, it does get a bit draining. You come

149
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,960
back and your faith's down at the bottom. They're all hungry. They've shit everywhere

150
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,480
and your toilets are full up. But I've got to that point now that I've got past that

151
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:55,040
initial phase. It doesn't feel as much of a slog anymore. So as much as I enjoyed that

152
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:00,040
initial slog, it's a bit more calmer now and I can enjoy doing the dungeons a bit more

153
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,480
without thinking, I've got to try and finish this in seven to eight minutes each time.

154
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,000
Otherwise, I know I'm going to go back to just all hell on earth.

155
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,560
When you've got about 12, 13 followers, it's like the sweet spot because you're not really

156
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:17,880
going to lose enough faith. Everyone's working. You've got stuff going on.

157
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,440
They're certainly working in my world.

158
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:25,920
Yeah, we know they're working in yours. So you're not going to come back to a mess. It

159
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,240
really only gets to nine. There's a point again, you have to have 20, which I can't

160
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,240
get over 17. They keep fucking dying or something happening. So I can't at the moment, can't

161
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:42,240
get past 17. And it then starts to feel a bit more like the beginning where you have

162
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,680
to really manage the faith because you get people starting to be funny, being naughty,

163
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:54,680
fighting each other and all of their bad traits really affect a bit more. So lots of cutthroat

164
00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:00,280
with them. I've just spoke a lot about colour. We've watched all of Daryl Dixon, which is

165
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:07,920
Walking Dead. So they've done some spinoffs. I think I said how I watched the Roshone and

166
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:16,280
whatever the main character from Walking Dead is. They did one. Oh my God, they're now fighting.

167
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,000
They are real characters tonight. They're normally good as gold. One of them's normally

168
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,000
down by my feet, quite happy. The other one's on the sofa with you. Tonight they're just

169
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,560
acting up. It's because she took Link for a run. So he's come back, he's all hyped up.

170
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:37,840
Whereas we'd normally done it earlier. So they're knackered, but at this point. And

171
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,600
then we watched the whole of the bins, the whole of the first season of Daryl Dixon,

172
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,040
the book of Daryl. It was brilliant. It's a bit unrealistic. He goes unrealistic in

173
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,240
the zombie thing. He hasn't been to France. So he's gone from America to France. And you're

174
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,200
like, well, how have you got to France? For a lot of the series, how did you get to France?

175
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,280
Yeah. Zombie apocalypse. None of the world exists, but you just so happen to manage to

176
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:05,440
have an aircraft or a boat that's got enough fuel, food supply and talented people to operate

177
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,440
that vehicle to get to France.

178
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,280
Well, it's a big tanker in the end and it does explain it all. It is actually quite

179
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,480
believable. So in the end it makes sense. But for first you're like, come on, you just

180
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:21,680
wanted to do this in France. And, and then we started the season two of it, which is

181
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:26,040
called the book of Carol, which is like his best friend. Darryl and Carol is a bit funny

182
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,080
that they're similar names, but we didn't realize they're not all out yet. So we've

183
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,000
watched two episodes and now we've got to wait every Sunday, which is frustrating because

184
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,200
only six episodes. But then there's another one, which has got two characters, Negan,

185
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,720
who's a massive character in the series, a real bad, bad guy. And one of the girls,

186
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,200
I'm so bad with names. I don't know. We just started that one. That's got the episode

187
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:51,640
out and that was set in New York. Her, her son's been taken hostage. So she's getting

188
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,560
Negan because the person who's taken her son hostage was, was part of his gang when he

189
00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:02,200
was the leader of the gang. So, and they hate each other because Negan killed her husband

190
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:08,560
with a baseball bat in front of a great episode. Family friendly show, family friendly show,

191
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:15,240
watching the children. And that I think is it. Yes. Lots of zombie stuff and cut the

192
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,200
lamb. I think that's it. Oh, a lot of writing. I've been writing. Yeah. We're looking forward

193
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:28,080
to that writing. Yeah. Writing and writing. It's the curve we like to learn on the learning

194
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,640
curve. Season one, episode 16 of Star Trek Voyager. Yes. His last episode of the season,

195
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,680
right? Episode 16 is the last episode of that season. I don't know. Let me have a look.

196
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:43,320
It doesn't really kind of end like a season ending, but for some reason Paramount kind

197
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:49,480
of offered it to me like it was the last episode. Oh, thank you. The dog's just passing me a

198
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:56,120
really wet squeaky toy. Lovely. You know what? I'm just having a quick look here. Episode

199
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:06,240
guide, season one. Yeah. Okay. What is going on? Is it the last episode? So this says season

200
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,960
one episode 15 is learning curve, but all the web pages say it's episode 16. So I'm

201
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,000
guessing it's caretaker or two parter. Yes. Yes. One hour 31. So that'll be why then.

202
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,720
Okay. So yeah, so it is the end of the series. Right. Okay. And then we come onto episode

203
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:28,280
two, series two, which is more like it, which is up to 26 episodes. And it ends with a gap

204
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:34,080
in the middle between episodes like the one where Picard gets turned into the Borg and

205
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:40,200
so on. And I would wonder if I do wonder if they do that because season one of Voyager

206
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:45,680
was, is it going to be hit or is it going to be miss? Is it too much sending them out

207
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,120
into the Delta quadrant and making it all depressing or so maybe they didn't end it

208
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,800
with that kind of typical ending of a season because they thought it's not going to happen.

209
00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:04,720
It might not happen. Yeah. But all in all, I enjoyed this episode. It was odd. Kind of

210
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:10,040
weird kind of parts to it. I've got a lot of notes on it. Not so much about the cheese.

211
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:17,240
No, the cheese, the cheese is a really, really, really, really small bit. Yeah. Considering

212
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:23,840
it's all the cheese's fault. It's actually quite a small part of the episode. And scarily,

213
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:30,400
I'm going to say, Neelix isn't as annoying in this episode as he normally is. I actually

214
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:35,440
got more annoyed with Tuvok through this episode. Yeah. Tuvok was frustrating. Yeah. It's really

215
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:46,680
full on Vulcan dickhead, isn't it? Like, it's so obvious why what he's doing isn't working.

216
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:52,040
And I actually really think Vulcan would notice that that was the reason it was something

217
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:58,560
he was doing. He'd logically be like, okay, what's happening? Occam's razor. The simplest

218
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,280
answer is the answer. Once you've, sorry, not the simplest answer. That's not Occam's

219
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,800
razor. Occam's razor is when all other avenues are gone, whatever's left is probably the

220
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,480
answer. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's Occam's. Anyway, but yeah, the answer is-

221
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,800
Oh, just cut it. He would have bloody well worked out what he was doing wrong. Not just

222
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:25,600
gone and sat miserably near Neelix alone. Yeah. Just sitting there all broody. Because

223
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:31,520
he's not half human. He's full Vulcan. He's full on Vulcan prick. Yeah. So maybe he would

224
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,440
have gone- As we saw in his tight training uniform.

225
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:39,080
Yeah. He might have gone and meditated. I think Realistic would have gone back to his

226
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:44,160
quarters and meditated on it and thought about it. And probably overanalyze the whole situation

227
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:51,080
and go, okay, well remember two of them are human. One's a weird blue guy with a zip down

228
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,080
the middle of his head. And the other one is-

229
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,080
Bajoran. Yep.

230
00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:02,360
So it's like, well, they all've got emotions. They're all, what could this possibly be?

231
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,640
Oh yeah, it's me. I'm the twat.

232
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,280
Yeah. I mean, do you want to do a quick brief rundown of the episode? Do you want me to

233
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,280
do the run?

234
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:15,440
No, I can do it. So it's start, you know, it's things start going funny with some, I've

235
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,440
got it written down in here, some bio-

236
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,440
Bio gel.

237
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:24,560
The bio gel packs, which they're using to run most of the ship's systems. They start

238
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:32,680
acting up. Tuvok catches one of the marquee crew members fixing it and he's not been told

239
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,480
he's meant to, which is against the Starfleet rules. And it turns into a whole thing about

240
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:43,120
loads of the marquee being kind of retaught how to do things Starfleet way by Tuvok, probably

241
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:47,960
the worst person to do it. It felt like it was a punishment to him is what I'll get to

242
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,680
that later, but that's what it felt like. He was the one getting punished.

243
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,360
It's teaching the marquee people to suck eggs.

244
00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:57,360
Yeah, essentially.

245
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:00,280
Who takes the socks off?

246
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:10,520
And then there's a little bit, there's a little side bit about Neelik's making some food and

247
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:18,640
making his own cheese. And it turns out that's what's causing these packs to go get a disease,

248
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,120
a virus or something. And then that's what's wrecking all the system. That's essentially

249
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:23,120
the episode.

250
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:29,200
Yeah, a hundred percent. And then the final part of the episode is the turnaround of Tuvok

251
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,200
basically.

252
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,760
Yeah, which probably lasts a little over one episode probably.

253
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,960
Oh, a hundred percent. And we'll probably never see those other characters ever again,

254
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,480
or they'll die in the next episode.

255
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,160
Yeah, I'm trying to think.

256
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,480
We had an away mission. We lost them all. Oh well.

257
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:50,060
Yeah, it would be good if, what would be a really good thing is if the, if Krum and Dolby

258
00:18:50,060 --> 00:18:56,020
was a returning character, but only a bit character with Tuvok, seeing him having a

259
00:18:56,020 --> 00:19:00,200
drink with Tuvok in the canteen, things like that, seeing actually they've both turned

260
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:06,240
around and become friends after quite a, you know, not a good relationship that they have.

261
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,720
I think that would be a nice touch to not even have to register it for people who have

262
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,640
been watching the series all the way through, maybe like season three, he just has a pan

263
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,480
shot and it's them two just having a drink in the bar. That would be a nice thing. Maybe

264
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,840
they do it. I doubt it.

265
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:25,020
See, I'm absolutely horrible. I'm personally thinking as Tuvok and realising that Dolby

266
00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:29,520
now knows his weakness and has seen a nice side of him, I'd be issuing him with every

267
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,760
dangerous mission that comes up. Just have Dolby, well he's picking on me, isn't he?

268
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,760
He's sending me for every dangerous mission. I've been on holodeck cleanup duty now 30

269
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:44,240
times this month. One a day. And it's Pomfah.

270
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:51,760
Yes. Or be like, it's Tuvok's birthday and Dolby froze him like a surprise party and

271
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,900
Tuvok's are really flustered and you get one of those moments like it's an American sick

272
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:59,400
com of just Dolby going, that's so Tuvok. Do you know what I mean? Like an old friend

273
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,400
just like, ugh.

274
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,880
Spoilers, I don't think we ever hear of Dolby ever again.

275
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,440
I don't think we do either. IMDB will probably say.

276
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,040
He gets flushed out into space at some point, never to be seen again.

277
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:18,400
Right. Let's get on with it.

278
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,680
Accessing library computer data.

279
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:27,920
So as a wonderful episode for any voyager should start, we start in the holodeck.

280
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,720
We do. I've got lots of notes on that. I'm very, very, very quickly looking at Dolby

281
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:39,840
now to see did he at, oh god he was in the happening and in vanilla sky. I'm on salt.

282
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,840
Really?

283
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,960
He was in quite a lot. For such a shit role he had in this, he's actually had some good

284
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,960
roles.

285
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,880
So who would like to know about the holodeck? I feel like most of the holodeck stuff is

286
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:58,240
always Victorian times or mafiosa kind of time periods. There's a massive period of

287
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:05,280
time between them and 2630 whatever the fucking hell Star Trek is in.

288
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,280
Once. He plays Dolby once.

289
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,320
Okay so he's never back again.

290
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,920
So yeah, okay. Right. So the notes I've got on this is what is the obsession, so it's

291
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,400
obviously we're on the same wavelength here, what is the obsession with going back to the

292
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,400
old times?

293
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,400
Pride and prejudice. They all want to be in pride and prejudice.

294
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:28,760
Is the future that bleak for all of Star Trek, next generation voyager, that they look forward

295
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:34,000
going back to a time where basic illnesses killed people daily? Oh little Timmy's got

296
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,280
the cold. I will be dead by tomorrow.

297
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:44,120
What is that? Oh god this is gonna fucking, I'm gonna have to cut all this and be just

298
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:45,120
um, um.

299
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:46,120
What are you looking for?

300
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:47,120
Consumption.

301
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:48,120
Oh yes she died of consumption.

302
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:51,120
It's all because of scarlet fever.

303
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:58,120
Oh so scarletina at that point, scarlet fever yeah, either or. Or German measles.

304
00:21:58,120 --> 00:21:59,120
Yeah.

305
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:03,000
But the thing is, you're right they always seem to go back in time and I just think it

306
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,720
must be so miserable that they go back to this time. And what's even worse, Henry and

307
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,880
Beatrice, the kid actors they got were brilliant.

308
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,120
They were fucking great yeah.

309
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:20,280
They were really great. But Janeway says, computer bring back the characters for Janeway

310
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:26,000
program Lamber One. She wrote this program and she's written Henry to be a little shit

311
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,760
and she doesn't realise he's gonna be a little shit. She's like, what are you saying to me?

312
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:36,560
You programmed him. You programmed him in this Latin. Why are you surprised by this?

313
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,320
You saying that has now made me realise I never noticed that.

314
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,520
She wrote this program yet Henry comes out and starts yabbering Latin. That would be

315
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,560
like me going, right, hmm, what would be a really good game? Oh I know Surgeon Simulator

316
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:56,720
but it's really, really realistic and it really counts on me and I'm gonna get really invested

317
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,200
in that game. I'm gonna go in there and then realise, I'm not fucking surgeon. They're

318
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,320
now asking me to do this complex brain surgery. I'm not going to enjoy this game anymore.

319
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:10,640
Maybe it's just, she's got a folder on the server called Janeway and she's been on the

320
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,920
Play Store and downloaded this and saved the file as Lambda, whatever it was called.

321
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,320
And I bet she's got a folder for Jacote as well.

322
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,400
I bet she's fucking hell. I'd hate to see the extra server space they needed for fucking

323
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,400
dirty Kim.

324
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:32,720
I've also got here, yeah, how many gel packs does he go through a day? Kim, you've got

325
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:38,200
to stop asking the computer to generate so many of those things. I've got, to be fair,

326
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,080
I'd use the holiday experience to work out some of my stress as well. My Latin scrap

327
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:48,760
is it, my backhand isn't though. Kim goes flying across the room. I'm not going to get

328
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,360
in trouble because you're a hologram.

329
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:56,920
And you know what? The perception filter was turned off because he noticed she disappeared.

330
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,280
Well played, well played indeed. The perception filter must have been off.

331
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:06,280
Or set to random.

332
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,560
I hadn't even picked up on that. That's brilliant. Yes.

333
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:15,040
Yeah, because the girl disappears and that's the first sign of the energy grid failing.

334
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:20,480
Yeah. And I've got, don't you just hate how power fluctuations just randomly wipe out

335
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,640
a character of your game? Amazing, isn't it? Your lights flicker at home and suddenly your

336
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,040
game's got no more end boss. You've just completed the game. That was easy.

337
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:33,400
Yeah, easy. And yeah, so I think we are going to finish this episode bit by bit because

338
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,920
it just feels like that's the right way of doing this one.

339
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,920
This one definitely.

340
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,880
Yeah. And then, so she starts moaning about her time and Chakotay's looking to it. And

341
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,320
then we get the scene with Tuvok walking down the corridor. He thinks he just speaks to

342
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,640
Chakotay to go and check out one of these sections.

343
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,280
Yes, he's heading down there.

344
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:57,840
And there we meet the wonderful crewman Dolby who is doing a really good job to be fair.

345
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,320
He's found something wrong with a gel pack and he's just fixing it.

346
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,320
Yeah, absolutely.

347
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,160
He wasn't asked to do it. He was walking past as he says, so we just did it.

348
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,200
Now we see the gel pack later and we'll talk about that later, but we do see it come out.

349
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:14,560
And as soon as I saw it, all I could think of, that looks like a spicy battery pillow.

350
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,320
It's come out, it's black, it's swollen. It looks like a laptop battery that's swollen.

351
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,240
Yeah, it does. But it's filled with like blue soap, hand soap.

352
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,240
Yeah, basically.

353
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,520
That's what it looks like.

354
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,680
Now I've got to say, this is where I start to hate Tuvok straight away.

355
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,680
Yeah.

356
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,480
So I've got, my initial thoughts are, it's just too fiery, isn't it? He literally comes

357
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:41,480
out Tuvok says one thing to him, one thing, and he blows his top and loses it at him.

358
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,160
And then I thought, you know what, I'm thinking about this wrong. I've got, these people were

359
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,520
rebel fighters.

360
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,880
They've been captured by the federation with the idea that they're going to be put into

361
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:58,080
prison. They're then recaptured a second time by an alien being who then puts them out in

362
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:03,000
the Delta Quadrant. So they're probably never going to see their family again in their minds.

363
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,080
So actually I'd be pretty fiery if someone comes up to me and says, well, why the fuck

364
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:13,820
did you do that? It's not protocol. When my entire life has been, I've been on a ship.

365
00:26:13,820 --> 00:26:19,820
If something needs fixing, whoever's nearest tries to fix it because otherwise we all die.

366
00:26:19,820 --> 00:26:25,920
This again is a failure of Starfleet. This is the fate of Starfleet. They've taken this

367
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:31,000
crew in. I know it's all Voyager. So it's Janeway's problem or whoever is supposedly

368
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,600
in charge of that aspect of the ship.

369
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,160
So rather than just taking a script, oh, you're an engineer. Okay. You go be an engineer.

370
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,040
Now put this uniform on. I know that you used to wear that really cool brown leather jacket

371
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:48,280
and studs on it, but now you're going to wear this uniform. Off you go. No, you can like,

372
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:53,840
okay, what you can do is if you want to leave the brig for the whole time we're in the Delta

373
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,880
Squadron, then you need to be part of the crew. The way you're going to do that is you

374
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:04,760
now need to go through this re-education. You're going to get put in the stocks and

375
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,400
once a day I'm going to click a button on you and re-educate you.

376
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:13,680
Yeah. And we're going to, I like it. Nice call on the lammer. I'll go with the clockwork

377
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,120
orange. We're going to pin you down to a chair. We're going to put drops in your eyes and

378
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:20,040
we're going to show you horrible things and then teach you.

379
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,440
Yeah. And that's what they needed. So basically what really happens at the end of this, not

380
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:31,000
at the end, as we go through what Tuvok does, they should have done that, but nice from

381
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,320
the beginning. And if you don't want to do it, okay, then you stay in the brig and you'll

382
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,800
just be in the brig the entire time. And eventually they'll go, okay, I want to come out the brig.

383
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,000
You know, I've been in here for six years. I'd like to come out now, please.

384
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,720
I've seen enough people die. I'm pretty sure I'm ready not to die in here. So let's go

385
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:54,720
for it. Yeah. It's just, it feels so completely wrong. And I'd be as pissed off as he was.

386
00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:00,000
So literally I've just saved engineering a job because I was here and now you're having

387
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:07,200
a go at me. You're saying, I couldn't piss me off. But yeah, Tuvok later goes in, I'm

388
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:12,800
not very far, but literally one or two scenes ahead of this goes in and says, well, they

389
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:18,120
need to be brought up to speed on because the ship can't run without protocol. Well,

390
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:23,440
actually it's running better because he went and did it before anyone realized. And before

391
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:31,680
anyone filled in form 7AB on the bloody tricorder to say, can we send an engineer here? Oh yes,

392
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:37,240
it's been approved by the duty leader. The bureaucracy of Starfleet. I genuinely don't

393
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,520
think looking at it now from this aspect, I don't think Starfleet would have ever got

394
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,880
out of our bloody galaxy, let alone to anywhere else because the bureaucracy would never have

395
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,960
let them. It's interesting. Well, because they put Chikote, who was the captain of that

396
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:58,280
ship as the first officer that they kind of, that makes, really this is a very tall conversation

397
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,880
about episode one of Voyages, isn't it? Kind of makes sense because it brings their crew

398
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,000
into the fold. That was the idea. And that's what you got from episode one. They basically

399
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:12,560
said we need a fair standing. So Janeway said, well, you'll be my first officer then. But

400
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:20,160
then they've put like, Bielana Torres as the lead engineer. But she wasn't. Don't forget,

401
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,400
I think it's midway through season one, she's not head engineer. There is no lead engineer.

402
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:32,320
He dies. So it's her versus another engineer. And the other engineers just, again, he's

403
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,960
a real cunt. He's a Starfleet person. So basically he's a complete cunt going, you're a marquee,

404
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,240
you don't deserve to be here. I went through the academy. I've never been in jail, blah,

405
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:48,720
blah, blah. I should be head engineer. And Chikote puts Bielana forward for it. She doesn't

406
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,320
think it's a good idea. And it's Janeway that persuades her and Janeway eventually gives

407
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:58,840
it to her. So yeah, you're right. But it's just weird.

408
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:05,020
Well, I kind of feel like with her being the lead engineer, she'd be okay with Dolby doing

409
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:07,920
that because that's how they did it on their old ship.

410
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,800
And she trusts him because that's exactly from the old times. She trusts him. But you

411
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:19,440
can't tell me with all that bureaucracy, anything would actually run smoothly. Yeah, it wouldn't.

412
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,160
No, it wouldn't. If he saw that and was like, oh, this broken, okay, I now need to fill

413
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:29,160
out this form to see if I'm allowed to do it. Oh shit, this Jeffrey tubes full of fire

414
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,240
at the moment. I'll go and complete the form, go and speak to the duty supervisor, speak

415
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,360
to the captain, and then I'll go and get the fire extinguisher. Oh, no, they've told me

416
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,040
that that's not my job today. I'm meant to be on holodeck cleanup. So I've got to go

417
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,040
and do holodeck cleanup and hopefully someone else will come and deal with that. It's just

418
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:51,720
it's rubbish. They in any job, there must be some autonomy of the person. Yeah, they

419
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:57,560
must have the ability to just do what they need to, as well as following protocol.

420
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:03,360
So these these two have a big round, don't they? Well, one side of round because two

421
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:09,680
boxes being a stoic twat and Dolby's yelling at him. And then we get to walk basically

422
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:15,300
bitching about him to Janeway in Chicago. So we get to the bridge and Janeway moans,

423
00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:20,600
we've only got 47 gel packs in stock. First of all, who sends out a brand new ship with

424
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,040
that little stock of gel packs? And secondly, who sends out a ship with technology that

425
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:31,520
they can't replicate themselves to fix? Now, can she not replicate it because they can't

426
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:36,440
or can she not replicate it because they have a power of replicator rations because that

427
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:42,160
comes up later because they're rationing the replicators. Yeah, true. But then you wouldn't

428
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:48,520
say we've got 47 stock, they'd say if we run out that 47 worst case scenario, it's going

429
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:53,240
to go to even more rationing of the replicator because we need to make gel packs, it comes

430
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:58,480
more across that they can't. Hence the regions he says, not she's a who says it's maybe

431
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,160
Belana says, why don't we move back? I know Chacote does. Why don't we move some of the

432
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,400
stuff back to the old iso linear stuff? Yeah, yeah. Well, if you've got the old technology,

433
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,880
why aren't you already doing that when you've got 47 of these bloody things left? I would

434
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,000
have got everything onto the old system at that point. Yeah, before that had even happened.

435
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,600
It's like, what's the riskiest part? Well, you know, those blue things in the wall that

436
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,360
really, if they go wrong, we all die. Can we move any of that to a different? Yeah, we

437
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:30,360
can. Let's do that. Then let's do that. Yeah. It's like taking away the kid playing with

438
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,760
matches next to the box of fireworks. Yeah, you do that. You don't just say, well, it's

439
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:40,640
not nothing bad to happen. Let's we'll wait a bit longer. Just again, it's the bureaucracy

440
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:46,760
of it. Yeah. And then yeah, we're in the office. They're moaning about Dolby. And it says like,

441
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,760
he's already been reprimanded for tampering with a replicate to increase the rations for

442
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:56,440
his friend, which I was like, I love that. And then missed three out of his last 10 shifts.

443
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,640
Yeah. So I've got the hacking and the missing shift is a problem. I agree. That's a problem.

444
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,760
But what really pissed me off in this scene, and again, I liked this episode, but a lot

445
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:13,000
pissed me off as well. To what? He nearly lost control. No, he didn't. Yeah. He raised

446
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,680
his voice. You're making it sound like he nearly lumped you and he got in your face.

447
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:21,360
He's like, yeah, come on, bitch. I'll take you on. Yeah. No, he just lost his raised

448
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:26,160
his voice and then stormed off. That's not losing control. That's probably being in good

449
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,840
control. He knew he needed to walk away from the situation. Precisely. Yeah. He's gonna

450
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:38,720
get death gripped. Again, that comes up late. And then yeah, he has this bit I felt was

451
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,640
really condescending how they were saying that they needed a truck. Specifically, I

452
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,480
think they said a crash course in operations to bring them up to speed. Yeah. And I thought

453
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,800
that is really condescending is that they know what they're doing. They just don't do

454
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:58,800
your way of doing it. 100%. And I've got maybe bring some of the Starfleet team up to speed

455
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,800
with dealing shit as it happens instead. Yeah. Who am I going to? Which ship am I going to

456
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:09,800
be want to be on? If I've got two ships there and I've just got a crew of freshly trained

457
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:16,160
Starfleet cadets, or I've got a ship full of marquee people who just do things as it's

458
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,440
needed. I think I'd rather be on the marquee ship. Yeah. Because the Starfleet just gonna

459
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:26,720
go. What does the textbook say about that? The marquee people are going to go shit. There's

460
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:32,280
a giant fire there. Let's put it out. You keep flying the ship. Yeah. It needs that

461
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:38,040
mix. Yeah. And you just don't get it. And yeah, you're right. It's really fucking condescending

462
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,960
to bring them up to speed. Fuck off. And this is where they decide that Tuvok is going to

463
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,800
be the one who has to do the training. And I do feel like it's a little bit of a secret

464
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,600
punishment on Tuvok. Oh, 100%. They know that he's done this. Yeah. Because you can see

465
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:57,520
Jakota in the background have a big smirk. Where particularly when Jakota is the one

466
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:02,480
who has to pick the people. And I think he purposely picks four that are going to be

467
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:09,280
difficult for Tuvok to manage. Yeah. You know, a young guy who doesn't want to interact,

468
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:14,840
Dolby the moody bastard, the woman who's a moody bastard. And then the annoying chatterbox

469
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:20,840
blue zip man. Blue zip man. Yeah. So like all four things that the Vulcan doesn't want

470
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:25,200
to have to deal with. He gets given. What I've got here is it's like that saying, shit

471
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,720
moves up, blame goes down. Yeah. And it feels like, yeah, Tuvok, you're blaming down there.

472
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:37,520
But guess what? The shit's now moved up and you're dealing with it.

473
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:42,720
You normally say that shit goes down because you're shitting down. Yeah. But when it's

474
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:50,120
talking about, so when you're talking in business, if you've got someone who you can't fire,

475
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,620
you promote them. Right. And you promote them into the next level of job. And what you then

476
00:35:54,620 --> 00:35:59,340
hope for is they get that next level of job and they go, Oh, it's time for a job change

477
00:35:59,340 --> 00:36:03,120
because I can get better money elsewhere with this job title. And off they go. And they

478
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:08,880
leave. Right. Got you. Interesting. So the blame normally passes down. How can you do

479
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:15,040
it? I can't fire them because they've technically not done anything requiring being fired. But

480
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,800
if we promote them internally, they'll then get the better job details and they'll go

481
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,120
and get a better job somewhere else. Even though they can't do that job. That's not

482
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,600
our problem anymore. Someone else's problem at that point. Yeah.

483
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:33,040
And that thing about these four people, we meet them in the next bit and I actually quite

484
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,400
like the blue guy and I really how they introduced him because they're doing the other three.

485
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:42,160
He didn't know there was a fourth. And then suddenly he steps forward right in front on

486
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,680
kind of side on and just starts talking. So, Oh, it's a little bit shocked that there's

487
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,400
other persons here and he just talks. But it's interesting because I'll take it. He's the

488
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:56,120
same race as the hairdresser in the next generation who always talks. So it's nice that they've

489
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:02,720
kept that specific species or whatever you want to call race, sorry. Not species yet,

490
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:08,080
is race of person. They're chatter boxes. They're a pain in the ass.

491
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,280
Yeah. And I've always been weirded out by that makeup, that weird crease they've got

492
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,120
down the middle of their whole head and face and calling it a zip because that's what it

493
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,120
kind of looks like. It looks like once upon a time, their head would open sideways.

494
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,600
A bit like Independence Day.

495
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:28,600
Yeah. And have something in there to get you. I've got here, Janeway's probably made a mistake

496
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,840
assigning this to Tuvok. I can see by the end of this, Voyager burning in the middle

497
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,400
of the Delta Quadrant, all hands lost.

498
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:41,080
Yeah. And a big stack of forms that were filled out of being asked to do the jobs.

499
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,680
Yep. Now I've not made any comments about any of the others. So what you're saying,

500
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:53,360
Stolby's moody, woman is moody, Blue Boy's just chassis, Bajoran, right, sorry. He's

501
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,040
just a kid. He's at least fucking 30.

502
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,240
I wouldn't go and say he's 30. He's in his 20s.

503
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:06,880
Oh, he's not in his 20s. He's at least 30. He's got a five o'clock stubble going on.

504
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,640
Yeah. When they call him, he's just a kid. I wouldn't have placed him as just a kid.

505
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,800
He's in college, minimum. Minimum is in college.

506
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,480
Unless he's maybe a little backwards that way.

507
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,880
Well, he's old enough to be on a marquee ship.

508
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:27,920
Yeah, but the marquee accepted children basically. So rebel fighters were from being a child

509
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,880
onwards. So if you could hold a gun, you could be a fighter basically sort of thing, which

510
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,960
is true if you look at any sort of the guerrilla warfare that goes on in some of the third

511
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:43,560
nations of our world, children often are grouped into that. So that's just a carry on from

512
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,560
that basically.

513
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:49,440
And I think Dolby says it, he's absolutely right. Completely insulting. Tuvok just insults

514
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,000
them completely whether he means to or not.

515
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,280
And they leave, then they won't do the thing.

516
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,960
They're leaving. Did you spot what's in the background? It's not Mug Watch, don't worry.

517
00:38:58,960 --> 00:38:59,960
No, what is it?

518
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:04,600
So, oh no, they still have those deadly wharf back breaking barrels in service.

519
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:05,600
I didn't see those.

520
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:06,600
They haven't learnt.

521
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,360
Oh, all right. And funny you should say about Mug Watch because it's now 12 minutes and

522
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,120
44 seconds in Mug Watch.

523
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:21,200
We get our first mugs. Oh, and boy do we get some good mugs here. We get these beautiful

524
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,320
little tea cups and saucers that are kind of fatter at the bottom. They've got like

525
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:33,960
a beautiful silver top to them. Black saucers, like saucers, like a black colour. It looks

526
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:38,800
like it might be matte. Do you notice the handles? They've got a weird shaped handle.

527
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,800
And she was even drinking.

528
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:40,800
They're very elaborate.

529
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:46,160
She was drinking it like she was drinking a posh tea, like she was from some Jane Eyre

530
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:47,400
novel or something.

531
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:48,400
And then...

532
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,360
And let's face it, they would not have had that on the marquee ship.

533
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,360
No.

534
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,400
And then she's like, this is the best thing that's happened. A good mug.

535
00:39:55,400 --> 00:40:01,640
Yeah. And the dude clearly is drinking some kind of alcoholic drink because it's a weird

536
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:10,440
metal pint glass-ish size with weird knobbly bits on the side, like six knobs on it. Really

537
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:16,820
weird. Like it looked like a tin bucket, but the size of a, of a pint glass. Very odd.

538
00:40:16,820 --> 00:40:21,200
Really liked it. Squared bottom, but round at the top, if you noticed. Very nice.

539
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,000
It's a great design choice when they do things like that.

540
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:29,880
And then Tuvok comes in, right? By the way, they were all clearly empty. They could not

541
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:35,220
act drinking them at all. Tuvok, right? I didn't get this bit. He comes in, he picks

542
00:40:35,220 --> 00:40:38,560
up one of those himself from the bar. It just happens to be on the bar in the bind.

543
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:43,560
Chakote, not Tuvok. Sorry, Chakote. Yeah, I didn't see him ask for it. He just picks

544
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:48,800
it up. And then he tuts the blue guy off the chair. He just gets off it.

545
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,200
Does his best Riker spin.

546
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:55,040
Does a Riker spin. He doesn't step over it, but he does turn it round and sit back to

547
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,800
front of it. Starts talking like a bollocks and then wallop. Smacks Dolby in the face.

548
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,240
Yeah, so I've got to go Chakote. Yeah, because he basically says, oh, you want to do things

549
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:09,360
how the marquee do it. Or sorry, or should we say Mackie? Which is it? Because everyone

550
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,160
else calls it the marquee. Chakote calls it the Mackie.

551
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,160
Oh, does he? Yeah.

552
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:19,560
Now is that the actor saying that or is he putting his own little swing on it?

553
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,400
I don't know, but that's the only time you hear it pronounced like that when it's Chakote

554
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,200
saying it. So interesting. But yeah, he just then lumps Dolby and goes, so this is how

555
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,680
you want to do it, do you? Okay, well I'll come and do this every day.

556
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:36,360
Yeah, I'm going to finish it out for you every day. Do you notice how out of breath he was

557
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,320
after that one punch? Yeah.

558
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:44,480
Like is it the adrenaline or overacting or is he that unfit? He wallops someone one time,

559
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,480
one punch.

560
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,760
Might be he's wrecked over it. He's like, oh God, I've missed this. I miss being on

561
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:50,760
my marquee ship.

562
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:59,340
Yeah, Mackie. I wish my Mackies, I missed them. Yeah, and he's massively out of breath.

563
00:41:59,340 --> 00:42:06,640
And then suddenly we're back in the, not loading bay, but in one of the cargo bays. That's

564
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:11,800
the word I was thinking of. And Tuvok is just being Tuvok again. I've got to fuck the dress

565
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:17,600
code Tuvok. You're in the Delta quadrant. It's not like school uniform in the UK. I

566
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,760
understand school uniform being strict and I agree with it. If you've got set rules in

567
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,920
school, it's going to teach your child that when they go to work and work says, by the

568
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:32,080
way, we're not going to accept you coming in in a crop top, tiny mini skirt, fishnet

569
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:37,640
tights and dot Martin boots. We need you to come in smart office apparel. They're going

570
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,760
to accept that. They're not going to come around and go, well, I never accepted school

571
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:47,120
uniforms. Why am I going to accept this? It breeds the right train of thought. When you're

572
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:52,120
in the middle of the Delta quadrant, you're captives, you're being forced to do training.

573
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,800
Let them have one little thing.

574
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,200
Yeah. I think it's good if it does a lot of things though, because it also, it, you know,

575
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:03,880
not all full bright cause it's so he does a uniform then isn't a distraction. But also

576
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:10,640
it is a level playing field for the children that don't have, are the same as the people

577
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,960
that have exactly. And that's a real key aspect to it. But yeah, fuck the dress code. You're

578
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,880
in the Delta quadrant. He says he does say kind of a nice thing is that you've got a

579
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,640
very festive headband. He says to me, she's like, takes the compliment and he's like,

580
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:27,520
it's not a compliment. Basically he's like, I'm joking. Yeah. Yeah. I like to see anything

581
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:32,080
wrong with the headband. No, it's keeping her out of face. And it was star fleet colours.

582
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:39,000
Yeah. It matched. She matched it to the uniform. Yeah. They had a slightly eccentric bow ish

583
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:44,760
on it. Maybe, but really not that bad. Blue zip man. You couldn't see what he was wearing.

584
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:50,280
It was hidden. Following the meme. It was demure. Oh, demure. Yeah. Very demure. Very

585
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:55,760
mindful. So I think that she was fine. And that's the only thing you could pick out from

586
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,320
her. Yeah. And I don't think he should have told the Bajoran to get rid of his ear thing.

587
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,920
I think that's a religious symbol for the Bajorans. It is. Cause they don't care on

588
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:09,080
deep space nine. There's a, you need to watch deep space night because they do kick off

589
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:14,600
about it. And Cisco goes, no, if that's part of your really, basically I need you to be

590
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:20,600
on my side. You wear it. Yeah. He should not have made her take that off. No. Well, what

591
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:26,760
if Starfleet customs was sorry, you can't have pointy ears. Yeah. Uh, so Vulcan's, uh,

592
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:32,080
Oh, that's a, oh, I'm so sorry. I know you say you had it sorted, but that's about three

593
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,840
degrees of a point. It's getting his compass out. Starts checking the angle of his brain.

594
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:43,480
It gets the protractor. It's like, yeah, sorry. Hang on. I'll get the scissors. Do you want

595
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:49,560
to cut them or shall I? One of us is going to, and I can guarantee one of us will enjoy

596
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:54,840
it more than the other. We'll be going home with the correct angled ears. Yeah. It's just,

597
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:59,800
I really hated that scene because there's just, I know it's to give us the idea that

598
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:06,600
Tuvok is just still being this in malleable or unmalleable person that he's not bending.

599
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:12,400
He's not doing anything. He's just being rules, rules, rules. I just felt this was just too

600
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:17,920
much. Even I would have told him to fuck off at this point. Yeah. Hang on. Do you know

601
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,120
if they punched me in the bar last night? Can I just punch Tuvok because that's how

602
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:27,920
the marquee do things. So he has kind of entered it as a precedence. Well, also if he wants

603
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,840
to follow Starfleet rules, he should said to me, I'd like to make him complain to about

604
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:36,680
the first officer. He physically assaulted me. Can I fill out the correct forms please?

605
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:41,560
Yeah. So they didn't do that. Did they? See how we get that beer now they're in engineering

606
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,640
and we get to see a lovely shot. The sexy warp core. I do love the warp core shots in

607
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:52,120
Voyager. It's a nice looking one. It's Dolby and Bielana Torres gas in. Yeah. And they're

608
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:56,860
looking at the gel pack and I've got machine metal always looks good. And what they've

609
00:45:56,860 --> 00:46:01,240
created is the job. It does look really good. It's such a simple design. Yeah. It's a great

610
00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:08,600
prop but the basically some metal blocks, a hand sanitizer bag full of blue hair gel,

611
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:14,600
but beautifully machined valves at the top of it plugged in. It just looks nice. It looks

612
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:21,440
genuinely like something futuristic. Yeah. And of course they're chatting away and another

613
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:27,200
bio neuro circuit fails. Yep. Oh, and guess what? She sends Dolby to go and deal with

614
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,560
it. Yeah. Dolby, you go and deal with that. Yeah. No worries Bielana. Off he goes happily.

615
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,840
I've got a note here, cascade feedback. I'm not entirely sure why I wrote that. So relevant

616
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,880
at some point, but I didn't write any more on my note other than cascade feedback. Yeah.

617
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,840
There's quite a lot of good kind of Star Trek words. I think that's what it's meant to represent.

618
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:48,280
I think it's representing this is a great scene. And there's another scene later on

619
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:53,440
where they really get some good Trek talk. Yeah. Symmetric warp field, for example, we're

620
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:58,760
going to do a plasma blast. Yeah, we get some good stuff. And now one of the best parts

621
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:04,080
of the episode, we're with the doctor. Yeah. I've got kesken bugger off, but here's my

622
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:09,960
favourite cat-girder, welcome back doctor. And it's a great set that the doctor's quarters

623
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:15,360
and the whole kind of that hospitaly bit of Voyager's set is brilliant. And because we're

624
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:21,720
still on season one, so he doesn't leave. Yeah. He just stays where he is. And he, he

625
00:47:21,720 --> 00:47:31,200
has a little joke. Um, what does it say? He says a joke about the patient and they're

626
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:37,000
like, Oh, what is it? I'm sorry. Oh, that's it. Yeah. He's told, he's been told he needs

627
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,320
to improve his, his patient manners. So he's chatting away to the gel pack. Like it's a

628
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,360
real person. No, cause he starts talking about the patient. He goes, no, they, they start

629
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:49,440
talking about the gel pack. And he says that you're not allowed to talk about the patient

630
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:54,120
in front of the patients, a breach of etiquette. Yes, that was it. That's the joke. And then

631
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:58,320
he says he's being told he has to cultivate a greater sensitivity to his patients. He's

632
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:05,880
talking away to the gel pack. Just stop it. Yeah. But he's just great. One thing I noticed

633
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,960
the bit of the bed that comes over, he didn't put the fucking gel pack wasn't under it.

634
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:15,680
No, it's at the head. It's right at the head. I was like, come on. So yeah, that's not going

635
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,440
to get scanned. Where's the continuity guy here to not notice the gel pack wasn't under

636
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:25,040
the fucking sensor. But maybe that's the point. Maybe it's the sensor can do the whole bed.

637
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,840
Cause if you think it's not over their face and it can do head scans and stuff. Yeah,

638
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,480
perhaps. Maybe it's more to do with the bed. Maybe it sends a thing outside. It could just

639
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:37,480
be that that's the display. Yeah. And it does the scan from underneath and that's just like

640
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:42,280
the controls for what the bed can do and show you. Yeah. But he wrote, basically he does

641
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:49,960
find the gel packs have got an STI essentially. Here's what they call dick cheese sometimes.

642
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,360
So Felix cheese is an STI ladies and gents. That's what we get out. One of the best scenes

643
00:48:54,360 --> 00:49:02,360
in the entire show. They find out that there's an STI going around and now we're back to

644
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:07,040
Chewbacca having to train them again. And they're in a, I like the look of their gym

645
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:15,120
clothes. Yeah. It's a nice outfit. Yeah. That the outfits really nice. And I think we see

646
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:24,080
them in a moment. Um, I really, really, really like the trainers. Oh, you do see a close

647
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,000
up version of them later on. Yeah. We'll go not the last. You see them a few times and

648
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:34,640
I'm happy to say IMDB to the rescue. The crew members are wearing modified versions of the

649
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:39,880
Nike Air Jordan X. Oh, that's why they're recognizable. That's why they look so good.

650
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:45,080
Okay. Interesting. They kind of, they kind of black and shiny. Don't they? Black and

651
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:49,080
silver. But yeah, with black and silver and then the rubber sole is black and white lines,

652
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:53,640
which I thought just really nice. So they told they have to go on a 10 K run, but the

653
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,800
10 K run doesn't start until they've gone through some Jeffery's tubes and they have

654
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:05,560
to go to deck 13 via the mess hall, which is like, what 20 decks in the other direction.

655
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:11,640
So yeah, I like this though, because he says it's a 13 K run. And then in a moment when

656
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:18,000
we actually get to the 10 13 it's 10. No. So he says 13 K. No, I thought he said we're

657
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:23,240
going to 10 K run, but it's on deck 13. Oh, possibly then. Okay. No, ignore me then. But

658
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:28,320
yeah, the, the, the Jeffery's view is brilliant. He goes, yeah, you're taking the route. No,

659
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:35,760
no, we're going via the, uh, yeah. And I've got here, it reminds me of elite force. You've

660
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:42,000
playing elite force one or two, and you'll get into a Jeffery's tube or a corridor and

661
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:46,160
there'll be fire blocking the way. You need to just get across from the fire. Yeah. But

662
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:52,480
what you've got to do is you go up, down, down, up, up again. And then after five or

663
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:56,940
10 minutes of doing this, you're literally in front of the fire that you couldn't get

664
00:50:56,940 --> 00:51:02,560
past earlier. And that's exactly what two block is doing here. And it felt absolutely

665
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:03,560
perfect.

666
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:08,960
And we go through the mess hall and you know what? More mugs, more mugs. There's a lovely

667
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:17,760
glass. It's like, um, I guess it's, it's, it's more like a, uh, like a tankard glass

668
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:23,680
without a handle. I think I've seen glasses like it that they are literally like proper

669
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:29,520
beer glasses with the, what's the pattern on a football? Like the hexagon kind of shapes

670
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:33,440
to it. It's one of those. So it's, I think you could just get it in a shop. It's classic

671
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:39,960
pub tankard. And it, but without a handle and yeah, lovely glass. You did miss the funny

672
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,840
line though. So the Bajoran's at the top of the, um, ladder and he stops and the blue

673
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:50,200
bloke's like, Oh, you can wait here as long as you want because he's dripping. And then

674
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:55,360
the Bajoran's word or is it the blue guys? One of them goes, maybe he'll slip and plunge

675
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:56,360
to his death.

676
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:00,320
The blue one said the blue guys, he has zip man, which is brilliant. Two boxes. Why have

677
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,160
you stopped? Get on going. Maybe he'll slip and plunge to his death.

678
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,720
I did like that. I did like that. Uh, and then they, they do their run and then they

679
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:12,640
find out now this, I found this annoying because he says that he's increased the gravity by

680
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:13,640
10%.

681
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:20,240
And someone just walks fucking past, really jointly walks past like there's not 10% extra

682
00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:21,240
gravity.

683
00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:25,840
It's such a dick move. It's like, hang on. So everybody on that deck is having to work

684
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:30,440
harder because of YouTube. Can you imagine if people are sleeping on that deck, they're

685
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:35,640
in bed, they're asleep and suddenly gravity gets 10% heavier. Your chest is going to be

686
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,960
like, Oh God, am I having a heart attack? Why have I got crushing pain?

687
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:45,760
But the other problem was he said he'd cleared that deck. Yes. Yeah. There's people. Why

688
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,040
is that person walking around deck 19? And there's a couple because yeah, then he tells

689
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:54,200
the other two, we left you at least three times. You've got to complete your run and

690
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,960
then more people walk past. Yeah. And then he walks away and doesn't even watch them

691
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:03,400
do it. No. So they probably wouldn't have done it. Cause I wouldn't have. Hell no. Yeah.

692
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:10,360
Now we get to see Mr. Kim because we're now at transporter bay, teleporter bay, whatever

693
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:17,440
the fucking name is called. And we get to hear the first utterance of the word schblick.

694
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:23,320
Yeah. Which I don't really know what it is meant to be, but it's just a weird food group.

695
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:24,600
A thing that that Neil explains.

696
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:28,760
But that's what he cultivates the cheese from, isn't it? He says he cultivates when he later,

697
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:35,720
when we see him, he's saying, Oh, I cultivate the cheese through the schblick that we got.

698
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:41,640
It's also, I think the first time we see a micro resonator. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's

699
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:46,520
a lovely little device. I'm guessing all that would have been, I reckon that was a stud

700
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:52,920
finder. Yeah, probably. And it's like, Oh, no stud. He's using it. Stud. And that's what

701
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,360
caused it to go up and down because I reckon that would be the easiest way to do something

702
00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:00,600
like that. Yeah. But again, why is two folk being such a dick about that? I don't know

703
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:06,400
why he's going to do it with a micro resonator. That's going to take you 26.3 hours. I didn't

704
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:12,240
get the point. What's the lesson? There isn't one. Yeah. When there's kit available that

705
00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:17,480
does it in one go in five minutes. Why would you not do that? Because that's accustomed

706
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:22,480
to a drill sergeant making you clean the bathrooms with your toothbrush. Absolutely. Isn't it?

707
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:29,160
And is that what two folks going for drill sergeant vibes? Because that's not how it

708
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,800
should be. If you're going to teach someone and say, sometimes you need to do things with

709
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,700
a micro resonator because this tool might not be available. What you do is you set them

710
00:54:36,700 --> 00:54:41,040
up and you go back an hour later and go, how are you doing? Yeah. You've done a really

711
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:45,120
good job on that. Right. You can do it with the big boys toy now. Yeah. You don't say,

712
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,720
Oh yeah, we'll see you in 26.3 hours and make you do it. You've been de-gousing for the

713
00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:57,600
last 10 hours. You can now use the big machine. Yeah. Just fucking dumb. And then they go

714
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,760
and do a war game in the holodeck, don't they? Yep. Which I was assuming was going to be

715
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:07,960
the Kobayashi Maru. But it's two box version of Kobayashi Maru. Yeah. And it's such an

716
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:14,720
asshole training move to do. Okay. These are, we're led to believe junior cadets at this

717
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:20,760
point. They've literally come into the academy. So what does Chivok do? He programs a declaration

718
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:25,280
of war. Yeah. Because there's no mention that they're in the neutral zone. They're apparently

719
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:31,780
in federation space. They're going to go and aid a Ferengi and two Romulans decloak and

720
00:55:31,780 --> 00:55:37,100
start shooting at them. Yeah. That's a declaration of war. That's not exactly the first training

721
00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:42,520
exercise you should give someone who you've said is not up to speed with staff fleet requirements.

722
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:47,640
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. And obviously they fail it. They just damaged Ferengi ship,

723
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:52,000
isn't it? And then two Romulan warbirds appear and then they get blown to sky. And he's like,

724
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,960
you're supposed to retreat. Yeah. And yeah, to be fair, all of them are a bit over the

725
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:04,360
top with, oh, you at least we went out guns blazing. Yeah. But I think we all know that

726
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:08,760
you're not just the only four on this ship. That's the most people would have considered,

727
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:13,280
I think, no matter where you're from, what about the other crew on this ship? Yeah, that's

728
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,360
the lesson. Not, I don't think the lesson is that you should run away. I think the lesson

729
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:23,680
is you should run away because you're not the only people on this ship. And then that

730
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:30,240
will match with what Tuvok's point is why he can't just go and change those bags because

731
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:35,700
they affect other systems that other people are using. So yes, the right thing is to do

732
00:56:35,700 --> 00:56:41,760
to fix those bags, but the regulations there in place because we need to make sure what

733
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:46,120
that does doesn't affect other systems, which other people need or are using. And that's

734
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,840
the lesson, but he's not teaching that fucking. You pulled that gel back out. What happened

735
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:54,160
if that had been the one that was tied to life support? Exactly. That's the real lesson.

736
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:58,640
And he doesn't teach that lesson here. He's teaching them that sometimes you have to run

737
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,920
away. That's what he's, but he's saying that I'm teaching you that sometimes you have to

738
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:07,800
run away. No, what I've just said, that's the lesson. And that's what he should have

739
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:14,040
been saying to Dolby. Can you see my point that, all right, this is a massively exaggerated

740
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:19,320
version of you pulling a gel back out, but there's more people on this ship than you.

741
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:24,360
And that's what Starfleet's about. We're all one team working together.

742
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:28,540
I think that their training exercises need to start with the view screen and it just

743
00:57:28,540 --> 00:57:34,600
shows them what's on board. So welcome to training today on your ship. You have 1000

744
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:40,880
crew members, 200 families, and you also rescued 400 really fluffy, happy animals from Andromeda

745
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:45,640
beta three. Yeah. Doing a tie clone that was going on. That's your crew compliment. That's

746
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:51,440
what you've got to think about. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah. Like I think Starfleet needs to

747
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:56,520
allow a bit more of a termination between everything, but at the same time, it does

748
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:00,200
make sense for certain things. I still think Dolby should have been allowed to change that

749
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:06,800
gel pack, but anyway. No, no, I agree. I think don't lay into them. Just say, can you remember

750
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:12,440
notify someone before you do it? So when the sensors suddenly go off because something's

751
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,940
wrong, we don't think, oh my God, it's the end of the world. That's all it needed. Yeah.

752
00:58:16,940 --> 00:58:23,120
Just please give us a heads up next time and you'd be fine. Yeah. But no. And now, yeah,

753
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:28,280
now we get that moment with Nelix. So he's sat there brooding. Yeah. And I'd say Nelix

754
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:32,920
is a better character than Tuvok in this episode. And I hate saying that because I hate Nelix.

755
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:37,640
You know, I hate him and Nelix makes a, you know, it shows that he's actually quite observant

756
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:41,960
because he's like, I know, like he's got to see upset and he was on the opposite fucking

757
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,680
Vulcan. And then he's like, no, you've got no tea. You've got no data pad and you're

758
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,720
sitting on the opposite side of this thing. So it gives you the idea that Nelix really

759
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:54,160
is actually a really good welfare officer basically, because he's paid attention to

760
00:58:54,160 --> 00:59:00,640
everyone that comes in. He calls himself a morale officer. Morale officer. I look at

761
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:05,160
this flower. It's impossible to break. Thanks to the miracles of plastic. Yeah. I like his

762
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:10,000
way he pats, he goes like this onto Tuvok's arm. Yeah. It was like, oh Tuvok will not

763
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:15,280
like that. No. Yeah. Then he goes and shows him these plants and he's like bending a plant

764
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,560
thing. And I was thinking it's clearly plastic, but the same time, like you're not bending

765
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:23,600
that very much. No, but at the same time, it's actually a great analogy for how Tuvok's

766
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:29,680
being. And I know it's such a simple set up, but it works quite nicely. Yeah. And I like

767
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,840
the fact that Tuvok's like, so what you're saying is the recruiter on flexible side.

768
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:39,640
No, Mr. Vulcan. Yeah. Talking about you, you dick. Yeah. That was a good little touch.

769
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:44,440
That was really nice touch. And then obviously he pulls out the cheese. Pulls out the cheese

770
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,240
and they're doing something with the camera, like a filter on that cheese. Cause it looks

771
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:52,160
like it's glowing. And you can see they're doing something. Cause when it kind of gets

772
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:56,280
put behind the flowers, it makes the whole scene goes a bit funny. Like there's some

773
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,760
kind of... I wonder if it's Vaseline on the lens or... Yeah. Maybe they've got a filter

774
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:06,560
on the lens because that shot just looks a bit odd graphically. And yeah. And then that's

775
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:12,560
when... And then of course the man who can't understand, maybe I need to add a little bit

776
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:19,040
of flexibility immediately comes to two plus two is 12 and comes to the conclusion that,

777
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,120
oh, well it's bacteria from the cheese that's caused everything. And wham bam. We've then

778
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:29,920
got everyone in Neelix's kitchen and my God, the slow pan to the air conditioner. Yeah.

779
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:34,360
That looks up to the air conditioner. Oh, the bloody air con of course. Spreader of

780
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,960
colds, moldy air and Neelix cheese. Yeah. So they've got the cheese in like a quarantine

781
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:47,480
container, which is quite funny. A portable something filled, but yeah, basically they've

782
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:54,360
put it in a security field on its own. And then he's got some Lorellian pudding simmering.

783
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:58,240
Now he doesn't know what simmering is because that's fucking boiling. Hey, that's boiling.

784
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:03,160
And again, I've got exactly what you've got here. I've got the amount of fire they allow

785
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:08,800
Neelix to have on a ship stranded years from home, but he's allowed fire. Yeah. Obviously

786
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:16,280
they don't have a shortage of, of like gas and propane and stuff. Yeah. But okay. It's

787
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:24,480
a change in Starfleet technology. Yeah. So there's a TNG episode that they go to a planet

788
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:34,640
and they rescue a load of colonists and all these colonists are basically like 1950s or

789
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:41,600
1940s Irish people. It's an awful episode. It's terrible. And they put them all in a

790
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:48,760
cargo hold and the fire alarms go off and they go down there and the lead Irish man's

791
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:54,000
basically saying, what the hell's going on here? We start a fire to cook some dinner

792
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:58,920
and bolts of lightning come out of the ceiling and put out our fire. And Riker said, yeah,

793
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:05,080
that's the fire control system on the enterprise. Does Voyager have that then or have they just

794
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:12,640
disabled it? Yeah, exactly. I just feel like because day one when Neelix basically steals

795
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:17,520
Jane Way's private office, he just starts a fire in there and no one bats an eyelid.

796
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:23,280
Yeah. And then we've got, Torres says, like, it's not your fault to need some, no, it fucking

797
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:27,360
is. It is your fault. It's not your fault Neelix while she's mouthing to someone else.

798
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:32,280
It's his fucking fault. Because it is his fucking fault. Who's the, who was, what's

799
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:38,280
the problem? The cheese is giving STIs to all the bio stuff. Okay. Who made the cheese?

800
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:43,360
Neelix. Right. There we go. Fault found. Did Neelix ask anyone the safe ways of breed bacteria

801
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:48,800
on a ship? No. Yeah. Is Neelix giving, sorry, is Toothfuck giving Neelix a load of shit

802
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:52,880
for not following Starfleet regulations? Oh, they're besties. I don't think he fucking

803
01:02:52,880 --> 01:03:00,800
is. Is he? No. Anyway. So yeah, obviously then we end up in this horribly painful scene

804
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:07,640
of Toothfuck and Dalby in the bar. Yeah. Fucking, again, new, looks like a stingy New York dive

805
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:13,200
bar. I wonder if that's the bar scene that they use for the TNG episode. Yeah. I think

806
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:18,080
it's the same one, just a different angle. And why Paul and not poker? You know. Well,

807
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,600
poker, yeah, exactly. I feel like they could have done, they could have had all of the

808
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:23,920
characters. They could have, he could have sat down and said, right, we're going to play

809
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:28,080
a game of poker. But really this scene was all about him talking about the Bajoran kid.

810
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:32,400
Well, yeah. But I like the fact that yeah, Dolby has this backstory and he just, he's

811
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:37,520
got a horrible backstory. He runs this backstory and I just, I really wanted Toothfuck to say,

812
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:42,420
yeah, well I have a backstory too. I once killed a man with my bare hands while staring

813
01:03:42,420 --> 01:03:49,120
into his eyes screaming. Just to kind of add to it because it's horribly brutal what Dolby's

814
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:53,720
going on about. It's like, yeah, I was a bad boy. I've got a backstory. It really hurts

815
01:03:53,720 --> 01:04:04,040
when I bend over to the right hand side. No, that joke alert. Dolby has a real heart wrenching

816
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:14,360
story. He joined the marquee because he fell in love with a girl, a Bajoran, who was eventually

817
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:22,400
raped by three Kardashians and then had her skull crushed in by them. So he joined the

818
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:27,480
marquee so he could kill as many Kardashians as he could. Fucking, yeah, so would I.

819
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:28,480
Absolutely.

820
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:32,120
Exactly. I call him the Kardashians again.

821
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,320
And guess what? Toothfuck, I've got my eye on your skull.

822
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:43,120
Yeah, yeah, lucky Toothfuck, they weren't Vulcans. Yeah. And he has got, yeah, that

823
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:47,680
alone was enough reason for you to go, I understand everything about this dude.

824
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:54,840
100%. So yeah, that scene doesn't last long, funnily enough. And then we've got, oh, of

825
01:04:54,840 --> 01:05:02,760
course, Kes has the answer. I hate her. Her and Neelix are such awful characters in Voyager.

826
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:07,880
I love the fact that she just turns into a little puff of light and fucks off one day.

827
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:15,800
I'm looking forward to that day because, sorry, she's there. She's what? Two years old at

828
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:21,920
this point. Yeah. Let's not get into the whole paedophilic side of this horrible kind of

829
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:28,240
scene. She's still a humanoid life form who is reading books, but apparently she can outthink

830
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:33,960
the fucking Voyager computer, which is what the doctor is. The doctor is not a sentient

831
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:40,440
being. He is the fucking computer working out equations and answers, but Kes can beat

832
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:44,680
him to an answer. Yeah. Well, he says it's the most pernicious

833
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:50,240
infective agent he's ever seen. And basically there's a virus inside the bacteria of the

834
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,080
cheese. Yeah, she's, didn't I read somewhere once

835
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:57,240
the bacteria can host a virus? My God, Kes, you're right.

836
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:01,560
Yeah. That would work as a scene if the doctor wasn't a computer.

837
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:05,760
If the doctor was Beverly Crusher. Yeah, exactly. Not the fucking computer.

838
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,240
The computer. That knows everything about bacteria and

839
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:12,880
viruses known to the human race at the point that Voyager left.

840
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:19,600
Which is the literature Kes has been reading. Yeah, which really is the whole problem with

841
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,440
all of the plot points for the doctor. Yes.

842
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:27,720
Not instantly knowing the answer to everything. 100%. Unless they kind of degraded his program

843
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:32,680
on purpose to make him more human like. It's like, no one likes a smart ass. Yeah, just

844
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:36,760
take away his ability to diagnose something and make it like 48 hours for a diagnosis,

845
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:41,080
will you? Yeah, I can program that. There you go. Right. Now you've got a slow doctor.

846
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,120
Because of course that's what the federation want. They don't want just a doctor and go,

847
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,960
hello, what's wrong with you today? But yeah, that's what you've got. You've got space

848
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:53,000
aids. Seconds and it's done. But no, we don't get that, do we?

849
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,440
Yeah, that's what she said. No, we've programmed them. So it's like, I need

850
01:06:55,440 --> 01:07:00,560
two days to work out what's wrong with you. It's a broken neck, doctor. No, two days.

851
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:06,520
My leg is at the wrong angle. It's broken. No, two days.

852
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:11,360
Was that Wharf episode, wasn't it? Where you get his back broken with a suicide one. And

853
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:15,200
then the next episode he's walking around fine. And then we worked it out. Didn't we?

854
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,480
In star dates. It hadn't been even a year to happen.

855
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,560
It was fairly a time at all when he was slightly fine.

856
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:26,160
Yeah, so I don't have to say it's going to be months of rigorous.

857
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,760
It was like a few days. Yeah, it was something like two and a half

858
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:35,240
days by star dates. Excuse me. Yeah. Well anyway, they find out

859
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:37,960
the way to get rid of any good STIs. You just make it hot.

860
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,320
No, we're not there yet. Are we?

861
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:46,960
No. So he's still trying to work it out. So then we've got them in the cargo bay again.

862
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:52,800
We finally see Tuvok below the waist. We see that Tuvok is packing. And they're in the

863
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:59,680
cargo bay ready to do the next thing. And that's when shit starts going wrong again.

864
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:03,440
And we're up on the bridge and we find out that life support's been compromised. The

865
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:08,840
gravitational plates on another deck 15, I think have failed. So people are obviously

866
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,040
floating around on that deck at that point. Yeah, I didn't think of that. Yeah.

867
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:18,440
They're just floating around. Everything's really bad on that deck. So that's all going

868
01:08:18,440 --> 01:08:23,680
on. And then yes, the doctor and Kes work out that, hmm, well, the gel packs can't do

869
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:29,160
what a human body does, which is fever. So we need to get it hot. So then these four

870
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,520
have lost their communication ability. So they don't know what's going on and shit's

871
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:36,780
just exploding around them. So what does Tuvok do? Youngest one. Yeah, climb that ladder

872
01:08:36,780 --> 01:08:40,600
on your own. There's no one holding the ladder or supporting below just in case you fall

873
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,560
off. And I know explosions are going on around you, but I'm sure it will be fine. You go

874
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:48,040
up there and see if that computer's working. It's an interesting thing because obviously

875
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:52,640
this was filmed before, but you can't have a sky engineer go up a ladder without him

876
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:58,640
drilling it into the fucking wall and putting on full mountain climbing gear to go up a

877
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:03,840
ladder, right? How on earth there's Starfleet regulations, let him go up that ladder. Whoa,

878
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:10,040
shit's going wrong. Sheer vertical firstly, no hand guards or anything kind of guard.

879
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,760
But you can even see Dolby's blowing me. He's like, okay, he's going, Oh, I've been called

880
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:18,560
over. Oh, okay. I'll run over here now. He didn't want to leave him going up on that

881
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:22,120
ladder on his own. No buddy system on that ladder. And let's face it, that was on the

882
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:30,600
studio set. That was at least a one story climb on the studio set as well. So that's

883
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,560
another failure of Starfleet. Another one. Yep. And then we're back to the bridge and

884
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:41,280
it's like, Oh, Trek talk arousing symmetric warp fields, plasma blasts. And yeah, we get

885
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:45,080
all that crap and plan is like, it's still not hot enough. It's still not hot enough,

886
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:49,800
captain. So Mr. Paris, basically you've got permission to redline the engine, put your

887
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:55,920
foot down, really give it a good rev. Yeah. And yeah, everyone gets really hot. Everyone

888
01:09:55,920 --> 01:10:00,800
gets really hot. Live support has obviously failed at this point. Yep. And I'm sorry,

889
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:05,880
I am going to bring this up here. These ships really do kill you quick when life support

890
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:14,400
fails. What happened? Because back in the era of Apollo 13, the failure who ended up

891
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:18,360
going around the moon and coming back and having to spend a large portion of that time

892
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:23,180
in the lunar lander, because that's the only place that they had that would be safe enough

893
01:10:23,180 --> 01:10:29,740
to possibly survive. They survived for a lot longer. Voyager, 10 minutes of time without

894
01:10:29,740 --> 01:10:35,480
life support. And they're all nearly unconscious on the bridge, fast asleep and dying. Yeah,

895
01:10:35,480 --> 01:10:40,240
I know. This room, if you sealed off this room, we'd still have a few hours in here

896
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:44,760
before carbon monoxide poisoning was going to start causing us a problem. Yeah. But not

897
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:50,200
on these ships. No, it's really bad. It's interesting, isn't it? How they all just don't

898
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:55,000
instantly want to just die. It's life anti supportive life support fails. We've got a

899
01:10:55,000 --> 01:11:01,080
problem because the ship does try to kill you. It does. So they set, it just turns on

900
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:06,240
the fans and sucks everything out. Yeah, exactly. Life gets sucked out the ship. But they had

901
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,480
a lot of good Trek talk though, leading up to the plasma burst stuff. There's a real

902
01:11:09,480 --> 01:11:14,000
good section of Trek talk. Everyone's getting hot. Garron gets knocked out. Garron Garrett,

903
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:18,800
I can't remember his name. He gets knocked out. Dolby tries to rescue him. Tuvok kicks

904
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:22,360
him out and puts him in an arm lock and says, I will break your arm if you continue with

905
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:27,140
this for the greater good for the needs of the many, outrade the needs of the few, which

906
01:11:27,140 --> 01:11:31,640
is the whole Spock thing from Wrath of Khan. Throws them in and then closes it behind them

907
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:35,880
without getting him himself. What a surprise. The joke of this whole scene is he spent so

908
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,480
long arguing with Dolby. They could have all just gone and got him. They could have just

909
01:11:38,480 --> 01:11:42,200
gone and got him safely. All of them together gone and got him and been fine. And proven

910
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:49,880
that teamwork is beneficial. Instead Tuvok martyrs himself nearly dies doing it. And

911
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:53,960
it doesn't actually even save him because they both collapse. He fails miserably because

912
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:58,080
he's wasted so much time. All he does is get him down the ladder. And then the other three

913
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:03,640
do good teamwork, saves him and I've got, oh God, such a fucking flip flop. It feels

914
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:07,680
more like Dolby suddenly now going to say, Tuvok, I'd be honored if you'll be the godparent

915
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:14,760
to any of my future children. It's fucking awful. Yeah, it's not warranted. It would

916
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:19,440
have been purely, I've got mutual respect for you. Thank you for going back for him.

917
01:12:19,440 --> 01:12:25,320
You know how I feel towards that character. I still don't like you, but I understand why

918
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:29,960
you're doing what you're doing now. And I agree that maybe there's a benefit to working

919
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:35,960
to Starfleet, but instead it's full on happy days finish of everyone's happy. Let's go

920
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:41,280
to the pub together. They should have done it. If they're doing it with Tuvok doing that,

921
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:45,000
he should have actually saved him. He should have actually have got him out or at least

922
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,760
to the door and then been trying to open the door and then they get the door open and pull

923
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:51,360
him out. 100%. Because then you could have a scene where they're thanking Tuvok going,

924
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:56,440
thank you so much. I didn't think, and then have him say, well, I understand now that

925
01:12:56,440 --> 01:13:02,800
being inflexible isn't going to benefit. And then they can say, well, we understand being

926
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:08,360
inflexible actually can benefit as well. And then you can have that bit then or even not

927
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:12,320
even have that, just have them thanking him and then have a really quick ending bit with

928
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,480
him reporting back to Janeway. And she said, well, do you think they're going to make it?

929
01:13:15,480 --> 01:13:19,200
So I think we've got a better chance or something like that.

930
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:25,600
Yeah. I mean, they didn't even do any kind of trick bullshit by saying, oh yeah, well,

931
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:31,240
I did it because Vulcans actually don't need to take as much oxygen as humans or we've

932
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:35,840
got a better tolerance to this chemical. So rather than explain that to you, it kicked

933
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:38,640
you out. And then I got him and I knew I would survive.

934
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:43,480
No, because they screw that up by saying the need of the few outweigh the need of the many

935
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:48,520
outweigh the need of the few. So him saying that one line means he should have gotten

936
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:53,840
with them. Yeah. He shouldn't have gone back then to go and rescue him. We didn't even

937
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:58,720
get the idea of him starting to go through it because they could have even done it. He

938
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:04,880
starts to enter it and then second guesses himself and then goes back. Instead he threat,

939
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:09,080
I'm going to break your arm, get in there and closes it straight behind him. So he already

940
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:12,880
knew what he was going to do, but gives that shit speech about the needs of the many and

941
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:19,120
the needs of the few. It doesn't work. Yeah. And then I say it goes to sickening flip flop,

942
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:24,000
how much they all are really chummy and friendly and love him all of a sudden. No, it just

943
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:30,000
wouldn't be the case. There would be mutual respect barely. And thank you. We might not

944
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:36,640
like you, but this meant something. Yeah. There wouldn't be, Oh, brilliant. Come on.

945
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:51,520
No, it was a bad ending. Transfer complete. Right. So yeah, I think, I think it's a good

946
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:59,600
episode. I did enjoy it. The, the thing that makes the, it not a brilliant episode is Tuvok

947
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:06,160
and he is the sole reason his, the way his character is. And also his character brings

948
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:12,240
in every single plot hole or problem with the episode. It's all centered around him.

949
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:16,920
I would never thought I'd say it, but it needed more neelix and neelix cheese. I really was

950
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:23,460
hoping that it was going to be more like a zany mental episode. That's why I think we

951
01:15:23,460 --> 01:15:28,280
both forgot about neelix cheese. Yeah. Because lower decks brings it up. Like it's this huge

952
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:35,280
kind of storyline to that episode. It isn't, it's actually the sub storyline. It would

953
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:39,760
have been a better main storyline and the sub storyline being the training and having

954
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:47,240
someone like B'lana having to train them because she's been promoted to an actual star fleet

955
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:51,000
rank. She should have been left in charge and the sub story should have been her trying

956
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:56,020
to persuade them. She could have slapped them about saying, because that's more like her,

957
01:15:56,020 --> 01:16:00,900
that's more like that angry Klingon blood that she has. So she should have been the

958
01:16:00,900 --> 01:16:03,560
one slapping them and go, Oh, you want to be like the marquee then I'm going to treat

959
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:08,000
you like the marquee. How do you like it? Now you can see how federation treats you

960
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,960
and she could have been doing it. And then the neelix cheese could have been so much

961
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,840
more. I would have had them in two separate episodes. I would have had that as its own

962
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:20,360
episode and the neelix cheese being a holodeck mishap episode being maybe those kids go mental

963
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:24,680
or just stuff like that. You know, the cheese, the bacteria of the cheese, or maybe it's

964
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:31,320
a sentient virus that is trying to communicate them through the holodeck. I really, he's

965
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:38,160
created a new life for the cheese. It would be really fun. But yeah, they just, they didn't

966
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:42,520
do enough with it. And I guess I don't remember that episode at all. No, I do not remember

967
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:46,280
it at all. And lower decks, when all the cheese is coming out of the control panels, it just

968
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:50,760
made me think, did that, is that what actually happened in that episode? And then you realise

969
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:56,280
actually watching the episode, Oh, lower decks really, really ran with it, didn't they? Because

970
01:16:56,280 --> 01:17:02,040
none of that happened. Yeah. Yeah. Which is a shame. Yeah, it is a shame. Yeah. It doesn't

971
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:06,040
deter from that episode because I love deter from that episode. Even I love that lower

972
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:12,320
decks episode. But dear God, this one is, it could have been so much more as much as

973
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:17,960
I enjoyed it. It could have been way better. Certainly not my favourite one of Voyager

974
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:22,960
and certainly not the favourite episode we've done so far on doing these weird reviews,

975
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:29,880
whatever it is that we do with them, but not the worst. Oh, hell no. In fact, I'd say actually,

976
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,360
it made me want to watch Voyager a bit more, but the first few episodes of Voyager that

977
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:41,160
I went back and started watching again, yawning, boring. I really found them hard to get into

978
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:48,000
this one actually. I didn't mind. So I'll see what season two offers really. Yeah. So I'm

979
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:55,000
thinking pretty good. Shame to Vox was so shit. Yeah. Pretty good. They could have done

980
01:17:55,000 --> 01:18:00,440
it in a completely different way though and had an outstanding episode. Yeah. Who would

981
01:18:00,440 --> 01:18:08,640
have thought more Nelix would have made it outstanding. Oh, geez. You should have said,

982
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:20,280
geez. You missed a trick there. He could have gone, oh, geez. No. So next episode, I'd really

983
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:28,560
like to do questions or just something rather than an episode. Yeah. We'll do a questions

984
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:34,120
episode if we get any questions. We haven't got anyone set up with the Trek roulette sadly,

985
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,360
because that would have been quite a good one to do as well. Yeah. And I'll start with

986
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:43,200
it. It's just because the things going on in my life for the next two weeks, pretty

987
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:48,320
much. Absolutely. I won't have time to do an edit like that. And also I can't really

988
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:53,240
squeeze in. No, that's fine. Trying to watch the show and other bits. Okay. Leave it with

989
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:59,760
me. You get some questions. I will organise the other half of the episode. Okay. I might

990
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:09,400
regret saying that. You might do. Yeah. Leave it with me. Okay. Command functions are offline.

991
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:14,720
You still haven't learnt it, have you? Of course I haven't learnt it TJ. Of course I

992
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:20,800
haven't. Okay. Deep breath ladies and gents. The Untitled Trek Show is part of the Studio

1003
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:25,160
show. The last USS Shit Show was phenomenal. It really was fucking amazing. So if you haven't

1004
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:29,960
listened to the last episode yet and you're only joining us now, go and listen to the

1005
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:37,200
last episode because it's a fantastic ending to an ongoing story arc. Yes, it would be

1006
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:40,800
good if you listened to all of them at the beginning, but even if you just go back to

1007
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:45,680
listen to the last episode, you won't regret it. It's brilliant. Well, you've only got

1008
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:49,240
the compilation, which is the first one to five plus the little ones. Yes. That's about

1009
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:55,200
an hour long. And then the episode called the one that went wrong. The one that I fucked

1010
01:20:55,200 --> 01:21:01,880
up the edit on or the files. That's episode six of the shit show and episode seven is

1011
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:07,280
last last episodes. So there's only two outside the compilation. Which is interesting that

1012
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:12,640
episode six, as you said, it's the fuck up episode. It actually helped tie in a lot with

1013
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:18,720
how we had this story. I think I might have said at the time it expedited a lot of the

1014
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:23,440
story, which was good because it was that episode that afterwards we started talking

1015
01:21:23,440 --> 01:21:32,280
about what we were going to do for Oh, Christmas episode. So we thank Simon for taking over

1016
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:37,100
the role of the captain for us some from who takes socks off. Obviously Karen and Adam,

1017
01:21:37,100 --> 01:21:44,160
as always, they do great work. Like carries on those Adams and absolutely loads of stuff.

1018
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:51,320
And he's really good. He's really, really good. Karen as well. I had big props to Adam.

1019
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:56,760
They're all phenomenal, but I've got to say really big props to Stiddy. Stiddy was standout

1020
01:21:56,760 --> 01:22:02,560
for the whole thing. Everyone that's that's messaged so far has all gone, yeah, we like

1021
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:07,000
Stiddy. So he was going to have to, I think Stiddy might want to do more, maybe we'll

1022
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:12,360
get Stiddy back at some point. I do hope so because he was asking about microphones and

1023
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:19,280
whatnot. So I think we've hooked him. Yeah. And it was really good because he won't be

1024
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:24,880
saying it. Stiddy's like that in real life. So it wasn't a far shot from what he's like

1025
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:29,600
in real life. I think the character was made for him specifically. Well, I mean, I wrote

1026
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:36,800
it so it was. And who else isn't it? Challenging Chipmunk? The challenging Chipmunk did, yes.

1027
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:43,520
People who know Jem's voice won't recognise it because I manipulated it because of her

1028
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:48,320
choice. Basically, the reason she's the Chipmunk on the variety show is because Jem doesn't

1029
01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:52,640
like hearing her voice back record. I don't, but we do a whole podcast and we can't exactly

1030
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:56,800
change my voice for the entirety of it. But for the bits and pieces that Jem does for

1031
01:22:56,800 --> 01:23:02,400
us, we alter. So for the variety show, we just play about with the tone and the pitch.

1032
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:07,520
And for this, we did a little bit extra, which sounds amazing to be fair. It was really good.

1033
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:14,400
Yeah. And yeah, so thank you very much, Jem. And thank you, Valentino, Valencia, whatever

1034
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:18,880
you want to be called at any particular day. As always, love you. Thank you to you.

1035
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:24,240
Thank you very much. Thank you to you. Thank you to me. Yeah, that's enough of that.

1036
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:25,280
Thank you everyone for all the help.

1037
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:31,600
You were so close, so fucking close. But of course, right at the end, you had to fuck it

1038
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:37,280
up. And here I am again, stepping into cover for you two twats. Flower from the A-Pint of

1039
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:43,520
Cthulhu podcast. Thank you. Thank you so much for playing the voice of the anomaly. You went

1040
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:49,200
above and beyond with all your recordings and the boys are incredibly grateful. Now then,

1041
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:54,720
I'm off. I've got to get my vocal trainer on the line. I've got a lot of work coming up.

1042
01:23:54,720 --> 01:24:01,680
Peace out, dickheads. And hopefully, if all goes well, the Christmas one will have even more

1043
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:06,560
people. Oh, it's going to. It's going to. There'll be a lot of AI. I've built a few

1044
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:10,640
favours which I might start calling in. Yeah, let's hope so. Love you, everybody. Thank you.

1045
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:16,080
Love you too. Bye-bye.

1046
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:22,000
