Space the Final Frontier. Join us for a bold conversation
2
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:17.760
our prime directive to recap our favorite Star Trek shows,
3
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:23.320

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:32.000
things Trek. Prepare to energize with Phasers Set to Stunt.
5
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.960
Hello everyone, and welcome back to Phasers Set to Stun,
6
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.920
where we continue to show our love for everything Star
7
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.600
Trek in this ongoing series from a film by podcast
8
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.359
which focuses on every quadrant of the expanding universe of
9
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:55.799
Trek by covering television, animation, movies, directors, and much more.
10
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.840
Plotting the course as always as your core Trek crew,
11
00:00:58.920 --> 00:00:59.759
I'm David.
12
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.560
Burns, I'm Scott Hoffman, and I'm Wayne Whiten.
13
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.280
In this episode, we are going to continue our Trek
14
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.000
Spectations where we're going to share our expectations for the
15
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.280
upcoming slate of Star Trek projects, both rumored and confirmed.
16
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.519
We're gonna be talking about possibly coming soon to theaters,
17
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.480
streaming platforms, as well as merchandise at other cool events
18
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.640
happening across the universe. All right, let's get started, gentlemen.
19
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.799
I know we're gonna be talking about this one in
20
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.760
our next episode, a Phaser Setistan but we obviously need
21
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.239
to mention it because it is in the world of
22
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.959
Star Trek, and of course that is Star Trek Section
23
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.480
thirty one that will be premiering on Friday, January twenty
24
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:44.719
fourth on Paramount Plus, so rather really soon after this episode,
25
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.519
so we'll be talking about it shortly. I know this
26
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.319
is a what an espionage focused style film? That does
27
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:52.920
that sound right? What I think this is gonna be?
28
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.200
Yeah, you know, that's that's what they've been calling. It's
29
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:56.719
something different for Star Trek.
30
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.319
Yeah, it seems like, I mean, Section thirty one is
31
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.120
kind of like they're their spy division almost teams, like
32
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.599
there's aspects of like a heist, like it feels like
33
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.560
there's flavors of Ocean's eleven in there.
34
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:07.079
Yeah.
35
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.120
Yeah, And I know Michiel Yaal coming back playing Philippa again,
36
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.360
who we know came from Star Trek Discovery, so it
37
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.360
should be quite interesting. I think the trailer seems still
38
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.240
kind of odd to me. It looks like something different
39
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.400
for Star Trek, but hey, I'm open for it.
40
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.919
That's what they're that's what they're wanting. Actually, yeah, yep.
41
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:27.520
So I'm I'm willing to see it.
42
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.439
And also during when I was looking for the research,
43
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.520
because we had mentioned we were weren't certain about the
44
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.080
time frame on this, I completely forgot that on her
45
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.879
last appearance on Discovery she went back in time with
46
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.240
the Guardian of Forever and we never did find out
47
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.039
where she went. So that's where this this time difference,
48
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.960
This takes place between Star Trek and Star Trek the
49
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.759
next generation, which really is on explored territory for them.
50
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.560
Wow, that could be quite interesting in my opinion.
51
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.919
Yeah, there's some some hints that I've seen without spoiling
52
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.199
too much, I know that there's some kind of mention
53
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.680
of a connection with Captain Rachel Garrett. Yeah, Yesterday's Enterprise,
54
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.080
and it looks like there's hints of like a seeing
55
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.719
Georgio's family, like Georgia in the past, the mom and
56
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.479
dad and things like that. So that'll be interesting to
57
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:17.520
see how this hops around.
58
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.719
Yeah, and you know something we mentioned recently on our
59
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.400
the motion pictures that the Daltons, you know, we never
60
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.319
really saw them again at Star Trek, and I just
61
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.000
read that one of the characters is a Dalton in
62
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.080
this series, so I'm yeah, I'm interested to see those.
63
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.479
Yeah, if you look in the Catha AMDB, so it's
64
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.039
not giving away anything. There is a young actress that
65
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.039
is playing Georgia, so obviously they're going to go back
66
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:40.840
to see her past.
67
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.719
So I'll be interested to see where they plan to
68
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.919
go from this. Like obviously, if it does well enough,
69
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.400
there could be a sequel to it, obviously, but yeah,
70
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.080
is there something else that opens up into Does it
71
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.840
have any kind of connections to things like Starfleet Academy?
72
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:56.520
Be interesting to see.
73
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.080
Well, I know the producers had stated that, you know,
74
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.520
the section thirty one that we saw in Discovery is
75
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.240
very different from the section thirty one that we saw
76
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.560
in d Space nine, and that this movie should explain
77
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.479
why and how those differences came to be.
78
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.280
Good, good, definite think the areas of Starchek that needs
79
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.879
to be explored. So that's that's interesting. I'm excited for that.
80
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.560
So something something different, something new, we need that exactly.
81
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.079
Yeah, the franchise will benefit from doing something like that,
82
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:21.639
I think.
83
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:22.480
Yeah, Oh, I think so.
84
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.319
And you know, this is great because you know, being
85
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.279
the first streaming movie. I hope there's more coming. I
86
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.839
hope they start trying new and different things like this,
87
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:32.839
and I hope it's a good film. I'm looking forward to.
88
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.000
Say, do you too. I wanted to be successful because
89
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.120
that means we could get a lower decks film. Yes,
90
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.000
please let this be successful. Everybody out there watch this,
91
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.800
please please. Well that leads U s Gott. You kind of
92
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.759
mentioned we're gonna talk about next and that's Starfleet Academy.
93
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.360
That's the next series that Paramount Plus is going to
94
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.519
give us beyond strange new worlds. Obviously, I don't think
95
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.319
we're gonna see this till next year, maybe even twenty
96
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:55.879
twenty six.
97
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.839
Yeah, probably, I would say that too, very early twenty
98
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.240
two twenty six, Yeah, probably January, my guess.
99
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:02.680
I think.
100
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:02.800
So.
101
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.399
I know they've already greenlit a second season, so obviously
102
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.160
they see something in it, which is good. You know,
103
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.800
I'm kind of odd that the season's not even out
104
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.600
and you're a green leanding the second season. Yeah, so
105
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.720
they obviously see something in it that you know, we
106
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.560
don't know anything about yet. I know they've got a
107
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.959
big cast already on it, and Holly Hunter and I
108
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.079
know Robert Paccardo both have joined the cast of this,
109
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.399
So I'm very intrigued of what's going to happen with
110
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.600
this series. So they started filming this what in March
111
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.600
of twenty twenty three or August summer twenty fourth, somewhere.
112
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.240
In that neighborhood they've been working on for a little while. Yeah,
113
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.160
and Jonathan Franks is directing episodes. The first two episodes
114
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.000
of the series is directed by the producer himself, Alex Kurtzman.
115
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.560
No, nice, Okay, cool? That should Yeah, I mean.
116
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.720
They should have a broad appeal, I think to a
117
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.040
variety of Star Trek fans, because, like I mentioned, Robert
118
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:04.040
Priccardo would appeal to Voyager fans obviously, first contact fans, prodigy.
119
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.439
I think he's got a toe dipped in that, yes.
120
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.600
And then you've also got connections obviously with Discovery you've
121
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:14.879
got Mary Wiseman, take Nataro odin Fair coming back. And
122
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.759
then as far as big names, you've also got Tatiana
123
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.560
Maslani and Paul Giamati. So they're not skimping on the
124
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:22.639
Star Star telling.
125
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:23.759
With No, they're not.
126
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.279
And I think it was smart bringing in Robert Paccardo.
127
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.720
I mean, one, I loved his character, I'm glad to
128
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.759
see him. But you know, two, with this being a
129
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.759
continuation of Discovery, there were a lot of Trekkis and
130
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.879
fans that didn't really give Discovery a chance or kind
131
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.160
of were turned off on it, and hopefully this his
132
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.839
appearance in the series might bring some of them to
133
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.199
watch it and hopefully like it.
134
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.199
Yeah, so too, we shall see. I know it's ten episodes,
135
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.839
I believe is the length of the season, so we
136
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:52.800
should have a quite a lot to watch.
137
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:54.160
Yeah, that is for sure.
138
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.040
Well, we haven't really gotten much of the Academy of
139
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:01.519
Life a few, you know, Crusher episodes and then things
140
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:03.800
like that, so it'll be good to see how they
141
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:05.959
kind of leap into this if it has to like
142
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.839
infuse some new blood in the franchise pretty literally, and
143
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.480
there's different places where it could split her off.
144
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:13.639
Into We've talked about that before.
145
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.879
Yeah, they've really wanted to do this. I mean, how
146
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.360
many times did they mentioned they were going to do
147
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.639
a starpleet Academy series over the years, so films, So
148
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.959
finally they were getting Finally we're getting it.
149
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.439
Yeah, it's about time. Speaking about about time, I cannot
150
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.360
wait that we're going to get Strange New Worlds season three.
151
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.759
They've not given us a date yet, assuming it's gonna
152
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.160
be anywhere between April and May. I'm thinking I hope so,
153
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.600
because I'm very excited to see where this goes because
154
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.959
we led they left us with the cliffhanger on season
155
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.240
two with battling the Gorn, so you know, some of
156
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:49.120
our heroes were captured by them, and we got the
157
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:53.360
lovely introduction of Montgomery Scott played by Martin Quinn, who
158
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.879
did a fantastic job and I cannot wait to see
159
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:56.319
what else he.
160
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.560
Brings his character. I noticed that he's been promoted to cast,
161
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.240
so uh, probably be in every episode.
162
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.920
Good he needs to be because he was awesome.
163
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:07.160
Yeah.
164
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.920
Well, I mean and in Engineering, we only got the
165
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:09.959
taste of Carol Kane.
166
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.920
Yeah, she's coming back, super.
167
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.319
I had also seen that, so season three is obviously
168
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.560
coming back. It sounds like they have started production on
169
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:19.399
season four.
170
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.720
Yeah, yeah, that's right, which is I.
171
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:23.800
Mean, that's that's great news.
172
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.680
It's great to hear that we have, you know, more
173
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.480
to come when we're anticipating the next big thing.
174
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:30.720
Now, this has been a long time coming. It's been
175
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:35.600
two years now since season two. Because of the strikes
176
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.080
that they had, this is delayed hits, So I mean
177
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.960
that was one heck, of a cliffhanger that we got
178
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:41.320
with it.
179
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:41.799
I love that.
180
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.879
So this we're still yeah, we're still hanging. I can't
181
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.919
wait to see what they do to solve that because
182
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.399
I have no idea. You know, they've really showed very
183
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.440
little or given very little about what this series is
184
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.399
going to be, what the new season is going to be,
185
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.759
surprisingly considering how close we are to the to release.
186
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.240
But then they did that with season two. I mean
187
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.360
they didn't announce the release date for the first episode
188
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.440
until like, what was it, like a month before it
189
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.600
it was you know, it's not surprising.
190
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:09.759
Yeah, And what did you say as the release date
191
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.000
of this They didn't say yet.
192
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.159
We don't know this season, Okay, No, we just know
193
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:14.519
it's coming this year sometime.
194
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:16.840
Yeah, hopefully sooner than later. It's all that.
195
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.679
Well, yeah, and hopefully they give us a little bit
196
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:20.240
of I mean, obviously they give us a little bit
197
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:21.840
of warning. But I'd kind of like to brush up
198
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.840
on where we left off with last season, maybe without
199
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.960
going back through the entire season, but just to kind of,
200
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.399
you know, refresh before we kind of leap back into
201
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:29.679
the action.
202
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.480
And I'm curious. I know Reese Darby is joining the
203
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.559
cast as a guest, so I'm curious to who he's
204
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:35.200
going to portray.
205
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.960
I don't know. They haven't announced or said anything about
206
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:38.879
his character.
207
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.480
Some caves too, which is kind of a nice you know,
208
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:43.000
let it be a surprise because.
209
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.799
They haven't really said I mean, they really haven't said anything.
210
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.080
I went and did research to see if anything was said,
211
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.960
you know, new bits about this next season, and everything
212
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:56.440
I found I mentioned on the last track expectations he did,
213
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.759
so you know, they are really keeping this secret good.
214
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:01.919
I'm glad. I don't want anything ruined for me. I
215
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.519
love surprises, Like when Scotty popped up, I'm like, what, no,
216
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.519
because I didn't see that coming, you know. I love that.
217
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:09.159
Yeah, really well.
218
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.200
And they're doing a good job of just like slowly
219
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:15.159
kind of opening up the tap right and not flooding
220
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.360
it with all these familiar characters. I think they're doing
221
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.360
a fantastic job with the writing going in and do
222
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.759
territories for sure, which we talked about before. But it's
223
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.200
it's great to know there's another Star Trek series where
224
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.480
you're eagerly anticipating its return and just knowing that you're
225
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:33.399
gonna get great stuff.
226
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.559
Absolutely now the next one we're going to talk about.
227
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.559
Nothing really much has been mentioned about it, but I'm
228
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.600
super excited about it because it sounds like it's gonna
229
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.159
be the first live action comedy for Star Treks, and
230
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.600
that's Toddy Newsom's series that she is working on with
231
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.440
Justin Seaman, so I'm curious on what this is going
232
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:57.279
to be about. I saw a few comments that she
233
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:02.519
had made from SDCC where they were being interviewed, and
234
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.399
they said it is going to take place in the
235
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:09.039
twenty fifth century, which is you know where Picard takes place, obviously,
236
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.360
And she says, all I can share with you is
237
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.519
that we keep writing it, and we keep turning things
238
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.600
in and they keep saying please keep writing. So as
239
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.000
long as they allow us to do that, and they
