00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:17.440

5
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.399
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Phasers

6
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.039
Set the Stun, where we continue to show our love

7
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.079
for everything Star Trek and this ongoing series from a

8
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.200
film by podcast which focuses on every quadrant of the

9
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.520
expanding universe of Trek by covering television, animation, movies, directors,

10
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.920
and much more. Plotting the course, as always is your

11
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.039
Core Trek crew.

12
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:08.079
I'm David Burns, oh, I'm Wayne Whitey, and I'm Scott Hoffman.

13
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:18.079
Nice, guys, Nice, what a newbies? Good? All right? Red

14
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.560
alert lower deckers. This episode is full of spoilers, so

15
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.920
if you haven't seen it, please go do so and

16
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.760
then come back to join us. We will be waiting.

17
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.239
I promise this episode is going to be cling on

18
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.159
as hell. As we are discussing season five episode for

19
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.680
a Farewell to Farms, written by Diana Tay and directed

20
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.319
by Megan Lloyd. Guys, we get a very unusual opening

21
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.519
credit sequence for this series, a much more theatrical one

22
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.680
in my opinion. That sort of feels like Star Trek

23
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.799
Insurrections opening in my opinion. Oh yeah, we also get

24
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.640
some focus on the side of the Klingons we have

25
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.359
never seen. But before we dig into all of that,

26
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:59.920
Wayne tell us what this episode is all about.

27
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.560
On the planet Kronos, Ma, a Klingon lower Decker who

28
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.959
was promoted to captain and then demoted back to lower Decker,

29
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.319
is in disgrace after his crew had mutinied against him.

30
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.840
Ma works to find a new place in the universe

31
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.560
and with his family business, with a little help from

32
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.719
Marner and Boemer. Meanwhile, on the us of Cerritos, doctor

33
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.120
Miglimou gets a visit from his fellow Kloican food critics,

34
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.159
a highly regarded position in their society, who seem to

35
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.400
have it against the doctor and find his cooking to

36
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:33.439
be a disgrace.

37
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.800
Two different stories here, completely opposite, different spectrum. Yes, two

38
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.560
completely different, I have to say, Ma story, it's it's

39
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.960
sort of like wolf Wharf, you know, and the fact

40
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.919
that like he's following his own path, which is really

41
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.560
not the Klingon way at times. It's his own way,

42
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.680
which I really really like that about this episode.

43
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.960
Yeah, I felt the same way exactly that it really

44
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.039
reminded me a lot of war. But I I really

45
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.080
liked this episode is I'm sure, And you know that's

46
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.400
that's saying a lot because I'm not a big fan

47
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.759
of the Klingons and they're they're episodes. But this this

48
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.759
is a really good episode and it felt very cinematic,

49
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.199
you know that, especially with that opener, which I loved.

50
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.039
I love when shows do that anyways, create a you know,

51
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.080
different types of title sequences or does does their openers

52
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.840
different that this was, This was perfect, but it was

53
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.360
a great story. I actually enjoyed both both storylines this time.

54
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:33.360
I did too. And you know, Wane, I think you

55
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.800
and I kind of mentioned a little bit that score.

56
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:37.319
That opening score was amazing.

57
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.639
Oh yeah, we don't talk enough about the music that

58
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.199
Chris Westlake. He is phenomenal. He's done such an incredible

59
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.240
job over these last five years. They need to put

60
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.400
more out on as a soundtrack for us to get it.

61
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.560
But this episode is a great example of what he

62
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:53.479
can do. Is beautiful.

63
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.120
Well, and Dave, like you said, like the look of

64
00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:00.759
this I think Megan Lloyd needs a lot of this.

65
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.120
One, yes, because it's gorgeous to look at.

66
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.960
Like I going back for a second viewing, I devoured

67
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:16.279
those opening sequences and the fight scene toward the end. Yeah, yeah,

68
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.839
oh my god, the fight choreography, the movement, it was

69
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:20.680
just phenomenal.

70
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.480
You know, much beautiful animation in this one. Yeah.

71
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.600
There's one shot that was in an opening sequence that

72
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.720
just blew me away. And it's that where the sunset

73
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.240
is going down and MW is like going his chores

74
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.199
and he throws the communicator because it goes off and

75
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.600
he's getting pissed off obviously. Yeah, dude, that shot was incredible.

76
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:41.199
Yeah.

77
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.240
I know it's animated, but like the cinematography, you mean,

78
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.000
the photography of me is like, oh my god, that

79
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.279
is incredible.

80
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.680
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's beautiful.

81
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.800
Yeah, And the whole episode was like that. And Wayne,

82
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.360
just like you, I enjoyed both stories going on here.

83
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.800
I mean I was really unlike you. I don't like

84
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.920
a lot of cling on episodes. Sometimes I find them

85
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.800
a little dull, but this one was fan I was

86
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.560
totally pulled into the story.

87
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.000
I love klingon episodes. I'll be on the other side

88
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.160
of it. I think they're I think they're interesting, they're exciting.

89
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.079
There's a lot of like, I guess I'm right there

90
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.079
with Boemler, you know, being fascinated by the pr C

91
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:21.879
and he loves getting beat up in the bar.

92
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:24.360
But I don't know.

93
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.480
I think they they brought a lot of Klingon callbacks

94
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.879
that I know we're going to hit into with Easter eggs.

95
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.600
But we've we've never seen where they make blood wine,

96
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:36.240
to say nothing else.

97
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:38.480
I'm still not sure where it comes from. I mean,

98
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.839
that was a Targ farm, and you tell me blood

99
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:42.480
wines the blood of the Targs.

100
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.519
I guess I don't know.

101
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.160
They only show us how they make the sausage, which

102
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:48.519
is good.

103
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.800
I mean, we've never seen Klingons being farmers. So here

104
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:54.079
we go.

105
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.519
No, you're right, not really, Yeah, no, there.

106
00:05:58.480 --> 00:05:59.720
Was kind of a unique episode.

107
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.240
There was an interesting line in the beginning when he

108
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.360
started to getting the calls from Starfleet and he was like,

109
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:06.800
that's just a furrengus gammer.

110
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:13.560
I was like, oh, there, we obviously have to mention

111
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.000
that Boyer's facial hair is still coming in more.

112
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:20.639
Like a little caterpillar.

113
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.519
I loved doing this. I love it.

114
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.519
I love that he uh, he got some kind of

115
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.160
praise from Mariner and he was like, oh, it's the

116
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.279
beard and she's like, is that what we're calling it?

117
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.879
Like this, there's a couple more lines drawn on your face,

118
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:35.519
but that's about it.

119
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.920
And his like crazy attitude of like wanting to jump

120
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.160
in and like fighting violence, and all of a sudden,

121
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.680
even Mariner makes that comment like you're just scared. You're

122
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.720
afraid of violence. You scared when you went down the

123
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:52.480
ski slope. He's like crazy in this episode.

124
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:53.839
When he jumps on the side of the targ and

125
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:58.759
he's like, yes.

126
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.079
That was fantastic. I'm really glad they brought the mob

127
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.519
back because I love his character. I know he was

128
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.920
very an important part from Mariner last season and what

129
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.720
the inner fight in Old Friend's New Planets. I believe

130
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.920
you know, he was very important to that, and I'm

131
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:17.879
glad they revisited that again, that connection. And I love

132
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:25.519
the fact that the Mariner's excuse to why they're there, Yeah, sure, okay, fine, whatever.

133
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.480
You did all this to look for holes?

134
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:32.879
Yeah in space, in space, But the whole all three

135
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.959
trials that they had to go through, I thought were

136
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.439
so well done and thought out that first one when

137
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.519
they were getting electrocuted, I thought was so hysterical when

138
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.639
his brother was like, get over here and colluct me,

139
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.680
you coward.

140
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.920
Yeah, that didn't make me want to go back, and

141
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:54.519
I know it will come up in these dregs, but

142
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.480
it once makes me want to go back and revisit

143
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.800
that episode that where Warf had to go through that.

144
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.680
Yes, a lot of good stuff, but I thought all

145
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:06.480
three trials were awesome, especially the final trials, which you know,

146
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.560
we kind of touched based on that a little bit already.

147
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.439
With the choreographing and the fighting and the violence that

148
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.160
was in this episode, it's like, holy crap. Okay, yes,

149
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:21.319
and yeah, yeah, you almost forget you're watching the animation.

150
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:22.600
You know, we kind of touched based on this in

151
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.240
the last episode where you know, anyone who doesn't watch

152
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:27.720
Lower Decks because it's animated, you're missing out, you know.

153
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.480
In this episode, I mean, I literally forgot I watched

154
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.720
watching animation because I was so pulled into the story,

155
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.440
pulled into the characters of what was happening, that I

156
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.360
had to remote this is this is an animation, But

157
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:38.000
who cares?

158
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.519
Because this is a great example of that. You know

159
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.440
we were talking about don't don't ignore it just because

160
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.480
it's animation. This episode is a perfect example of why

161
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.279
you shouldn't, because this is just it's it's beautifully done,

162
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.360
beautifully animated. It's great Star Trek.

163
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.879
Yeah, it absolutely And I'm glad we got some more

164
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.559
doctor meaglely Mo's some more of him. Yea. I really

165
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:00.399
like the getting to see some of that, get see

166
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.240
some of his wraith. And his line is I am

167
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.159
more of a chef of the mind. Okay, yeah, all right, yeah,

168
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:08.000
sure we'll go with that.

169
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.039
He's got the pincers and he's just tossing him.

170
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:11.840
Yeah.

171
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.279
Yeah, I think the the's not a klookan food critics

172
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.440
were a very nice touch, a very interesting touch when

173
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.720
they come out and they just they hate everything. The

174
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.679
carpet smells, the lights are horrible.

175
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.720
It's an interesting concept too. You know, we really after

176
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.639
five years, really hadn't learned too much about him, and

177
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.399
now we you know, got a name for his race,

178
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.080
We've got their their beliefs and the ideology and you

179
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.559
know the how they revere food and cooking and stuff.

180
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.360
And I love that. I mean that, that's that's interesting.

181
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.480
It's nothing something that's never been done in Star Trek,

182
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.720
and and it was hilarious. I mean that that's what

183
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.799
his That's all that storyline really was for this episode

184
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.440
is the main story was the kling On one. But

185
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.440
it was just for humor, but it was it was

186
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.679
very well done and it was funny. I mean they

187
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:00.360
did the job.

188
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.720
Yeah, you needed that lighthearted story a little bit. What's

189
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.440
going on with the Klingon, So I guess that's why

190
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:05.879
they put.

191
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:06.039
It in there.

192
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.159
Well, I thought the there was a subtle thing, but

193
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.799
the bird shaped fork pincer that they would use to

194
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.799
take bites was basically the shape of a little bird head,

195
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:18.440
so it would like chew it up for the bird

196
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:19.799
first and then they would eat it.

197
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:21.240
I thought that was a very little touch.

198
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:24.279
Yeah, the whole thing at the end, Tim when they

199
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.360
how they tricked them, Oh yeah, with it, with it

200
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:28.559
with this tastes like shit.

201
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.000
We replicated manure.

202
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.759
And then Attend holds up this little I don't know

203
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.639
what you call it, like a confectionery.

204
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:36.320
Kind of thing.

205
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.919
Yeah. I would have said to Tending, you didn't need

206
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.360
to bring that with you. It's okay. Everybody can smell it.

207
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:45.440
Everybody knows what it is.

208
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.159
The only thing that I'm really aggravated about on how

209
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.080
good this episode is the fact that this is our

210
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.600
last season, guys. Yeah, and it feels it really feels

211
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.279
like they are just going gangbusters now. I mean, all

212
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.519
the episodes have been great, all the stories have been fantastic,

213
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.639
but it really feels like just letting it all out now,

214
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.080
you know, and they're just finding their own and I

215
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.480
hate it. I hate it because come on, let's get

216
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.080
another Let's get a movie. Come on, we can someone's

217
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:09.919
got to happen here, Paramount, you got it. You cannot

218
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.360
let lower Deck have difficult.

219
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.519
Yeah, because I mean, all these characters are getting such

220
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:17.440
great development over this and last season, and I'd hate

221
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.200
for this to be it because we want to now,

222
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.519
we want to see where it goes, where these characters go.

223
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:22.240
Yep.

224
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.600
Well, it's definitely a proof of concept that this could

225
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.200
be cinematic, because that is right. I mean, this is

226
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.919
just kind of like a sampling of what they could

227
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.879
do with what we've already talked about with the music,

228
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.799
the choreography, the direction, the the look and the feel

229
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.320
of this, like all of it could lend very well

230
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.559
to a full length movie. And I think one of

231
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.639
the lucky things about this we had the crossover with

232
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.720
Strange New Worlds. We've had a lot of character development here.

233
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.519
I think there's a lot of opportunity for these characters

234
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.639
to continue elsewhere. Oh yeah, if it's not a continuation

235
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.799
of Lower which we would love to have, paramount, but

236
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.039
if it doesn't make it there, at least we know

237
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.960
these are characters that we can come back to in

238
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.879
some form. And if they can resurrect this at some

239
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.000
point in the future, I think it'd be a very

240
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:13.679
smart idea.

241
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.200
Yeah, great, and this cast things to start going to

242
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.759
conventions everyone, now, your listeners. We love going to conventions.

243
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:20.919
But Wayne has this amazing Star Trek poster that he

244
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:22.799
clearly needs to get this cast on.

245
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.639
Ya, I need Lower Decks. Come on, appear, let's gonna

246
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:26.919
move on.

247
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.679
Come on, come on, guys, show up. But no, I mean,

248
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.840
this is a fantastic episode, guys, I really I watched

249
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.240
this one a couple times, and I typically don't do

250
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.519
that one i'm prepping for a podcast for Lower Decks,

251
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:39.039
I usually watch it once and I'm good to go

252
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.759
with this one. I actually wanted to revisit because I

253
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.120
had such a genuine good time. And again, all the

254
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.600
episodes are fantastic, do not get me wrong. This one

255
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.720
just stuck out to me for some reason that I

256
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.639
just really step back and just enjoyed it so much.

257
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.320
This is an episode that does, in my opinion, require

258
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:59.240
a few viewings because there's so much in it, so

259
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.720
many little things, just things in the background, the way

260
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.000
the characters move, the lines that they say. It took

261
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:06.480
me a couple of times to catch a few of

262
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:08.519
a few of the easter eggs that I'll mention, but

263
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.919
it's it's worth watching more than well.

264
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.000
Another nice aspect of that is that there aren't really

265
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.200
any stakes in this one. It's not something you have

266
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.120
to rewatch because you're like, oh, I wonder what's going

267
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.639
to happen. It pretty much resolves itself as sets up

268
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.480
some nice threads that we can pull on later for

269
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.720
obviously the cleon friends to come back, the somebody designing

270
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.519
holes in space, obviously Miglimo is going to be elevated

271
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:36.440
into a higher role. But yeah, you can just watch

272
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.720
it again to enjoy it with having to overanalyze it.

273
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:39.320
Absolutely.

274
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:43.679
All right, guys, let's talk about our pitworthy moment which

275
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:45.559
character stole this week's episode?

276
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:49.080
Wayne, Okay, I know, I hope I haven't been butchering

277
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:53.039
his name. Maha. I want to choose one of the

278
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.799
main characters. But really, this is his episode. I mean

279
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.519
that the others are all in the background. They're there,

280
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:02.360
they're secondary to him. This is his journey, and it's

281
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:07.279
it's a great journey between the three trials, you know,

282
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.759
everything we learn about him, his brother. I loved all

283
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:15.039
the characters, but this is his and he shines.

284
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:17.159
I agree, Scott, what about.

285
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.879
You, I'm gonna go the other side and go with

286
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.440
doctor Migley, of course, I mean, but I mean, you know,

287
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.840
he persisted in the face of these a whole what

288
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.360
came on and gave him nothing but grief. He's thrilled

289
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.559
to see them, and they told him that everything about

290
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.200
him is horrible, and at the end he ended up

291
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.360
helping them anyway, you know. And I mean, if he's

292
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.360
not cooking klook and food, I'd love to, you know,

293
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.559
sample some of what he was cooking, because it sounds

294
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:58.440
like he cares a lot about flavor and taste. Weird fish,

295
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.840
the multiple eyes, no thanks Simpsons.

296
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.679
No, But anyway, Dan, what about you?

297
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:10.240
Yeah, so again listeners, Wayne's reading my notes. Maha is

298
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:12.360
definitely the guy I would go with. It was definitely

299
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.360
his story and to feel like it was war a

300
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:19.039
warf episode is what it felt like to me from

301
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.200
from the next generation, and it just felt like home again.

302
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.159
It felt comfortable, and I loved his character and I

303
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.360
love where they went with it and the fact that

304
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:30.360
you know, they were able to wrap up some of

305
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.000
that of bringing Marinder back in him connecting again and

306
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.000
him wrapping up his story with the Klingons, and the

307
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.639
way it ended of him basically going on off with

308
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.200
his brother now being a captain again. I think that

309
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.720
was a fantastic way to take it. And I would

310
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.000
love to see more episodes about him and his brother.

311
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:47.080
I really would.

312
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.759
And I'm glad Scott you actually choose migelm because other

313
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:55.279
than I mean, we both chose Maha, but he also

314
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:56.799
shines in this episode.

315
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:02.399
Does Yeah you can't choo is wrong in this one? Yeah?

316
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.240
It's both all right choices.

317
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.200
Yes, absolutely all right. So let's get into that Turbo

318
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.600
left which lower Decker team would you join on this

319
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.799
raytoast for this episode? Scott? What about you believe it

320
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:14.039
or not?

321
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.799
Boymer like I was having the time of his life,

322
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:20.600
even though he had and during the pain sticks I'm

323
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:24.519
not so sure about that, but you know, he was.

324
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:25.759
He was having a ball.

325
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.960
He was soaking up so much of the Clanon culture,

326
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.480
which is also a bit funny because you know, Riker,

327
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:35.919
I would say, is the one who has had kind

328
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.480
of the crossover taste of Cleon culture the most from

329
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:43.559
TG yeah, having been transferred to the other ship. So

330
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.840
I feel like at some point he'll probably share a

331
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:46.960
couple of blood wine with Riker.

332
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:49.840
Nice Wayne, what about you.

333
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.240
Well, it was either one of those two, and since

334
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:54.399
she chose Boimler, I'm gonna say, Marner, I'll be right

335
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:58.399
alongside you, just because you know, as I mentioned, I'm

336
00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:00.159
not a big fan of the Klingons, but this so

337
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.480
that I really liked the Klingons and being there on

338
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.319
Chronos having the fun which it looked a lot like

339
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:10.400
a lot of fun and seeing everything. That's where I

340
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:10.759
want to be.

341
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.519
For me. It's actually to be probably tendy in this one,

342
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.720
because someone's got to taste the food that doctor Miglimu's making.

343
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:20.680
Except for that weird fish, I don't want anything to

344
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.960
do with it at all, But I would like to

345
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.160
eat her just because of hanging out watching him cook,

346
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.440
getting all those smells and getting to taste that wonderful

347
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.920
food that he was making.

348
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.920
So that's that's a brave choice because you have to

349
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:34.519
hold that manure filled confection.

350
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:36.279
This is true.

351
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.200
If we ever see the lower deckers on Strange New

352
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.559
Worlds again, we need to get Migli mu and and

353
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:43.440
Captain Pike together, don't we.

354
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:48.880
That would be awesome. Yes, good call out there, Wayne

355
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:49.720
and Tendy.

356
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.920
Yes, she could taste both of them.

357
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:55.319
Yeah, I would love to see that. Make that happen paramount.

358
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.200
All right, let's talk about I know Wayne's a favorite

359
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:01.839
part of the podcast. Let's talk about them ether egg Wayne,

360
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:02.559
what did you find?

361
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.839
Okay, there were a lot of Klingon Easter eggs here,

362
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:09.359
and so I'm gonna skip a lot of the more

363
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:12.119
obvious ones and try to get some of the the

364
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:15.960
the harder to find ones. One thing about I've noticed

365
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:20.000
the architecture, the Klingon architecture on the family farm of

366
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:24.640
MAHA's family farm. It really look it matches perfectly the

367
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.960
same type of architecture that you saw at the beginning

368
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:34.359
of Star Trek Enterprise when Captain Archer visited Kronos. Also

369
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.440
we got we got the return of General Korn who

370
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:40.200
was in the first season all the way back in

371
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.599
first season of the Lower Decks episode called en Boys.

372
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.960
And then we brought up the pain Sticks. Anybody want

373
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:49.359
to see more with the of those and go back

374
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:51.559
to the second season of Star Trek de Next Generation

375
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:54.160
episode called the Icarus Factor, and that was the best

376
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.160
part of that episode. And then we talk about the

377
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.480
strange fish. This one, this is one of the two

378
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:01.720
that I really had to go back and see for

379
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.920
a second time. But that was called the Hogfish Jella Team,

380
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.240
and they said it came from a planet called a

381
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:12.599
Nara Prime. Now this planet is a planet that we've

382
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.519
we've seen before in the Delta Quadrant. In Star Trek Voyager,

383
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:19.079
it was an episode called Remembrance, so that that fish

384
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:23.880
could come from a long, long way. And then finally

385
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:26.359
and this one, this one really kind of blew my

386
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.240
mind when I heard it. At the end of the episodes,

387
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:33.039
when those bones off the spaceship following the the Loure,

388
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.000
he shouts at out that he can he can see callis.

389
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:42.079
But the original one that does impressions now. It was

390
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.720
a really really deep easter egg. This goes all the

391
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.960
way back to the original series Zips called the Savage Curtain,

392
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.920
which was the first appearance of Callis, and he looks very,

393
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:54.599
very different than the one where he used to seeing

394
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:57.880
in the Next Generation Deep Space nine. But in that

395
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.000
episode he impersonates the wastes of both Syric and Abraham Lincoln.

396
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.519
So that's what that references to. And that one made

397
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:06.519
me laugh out loud.

398
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:10.720
I love that. That's awesome. The one I caught was

399
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.279
just the flip communicator that Male uses the beginning that

400
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:15.440
was used the Klingons and the original series, which I

401
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:16.559
thought was a nice touch.

402
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:17.240
Looked just like it.

403
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:20.680
The one that caught my eye and pun intended, I

404
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.759
guess is the Riveted eye patch.

405
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.400
Oh yeah, I didn't think about that one. Good catch.

406
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:27.839
As soon as I saw that, I was like, I'm

407
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.799
discovered country general chain.

408
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:32.759
Yeah, I forgot. I didn't even catch that one.

409
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:36.200
I didn't either. That's that's a good catch, man. See,

410
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:38.400
I must my I must have my eyes closed or something.

411
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:45.359
I just want to, Oh right, any anything else guys

412
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:45.920
that you caught?

413
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:50.240
And I guess I just wouldn't want to see what

414
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:51.480
kind of cuss words.

415
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:54.119
They were using and threading out.

416
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:59.799
Yeah, I know that they were. They were saying like.

417
00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:59.359
They were bleeping them out.

418
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:00.480
Yeah, I know. There was like.

419
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.119
Two like cover bikes or something that had like a

420
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:04.640
near miss early on, that's right.

421
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.079
Yeah, and one was like experience.

422
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.039
For cock or something like that.

423
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:10.079
Listen. I wonder you remember back in the eighties they

424
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.640
had it, they released a Klingon dictionary. I wonder if

425
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:13.400
that word's in there.

426
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:16.680
I remember had one of those, and only cover it

427
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:17.759
had Christopher Lloyd.

428
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:19.079
Yeah, that's right.

429
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:20.480
Yeah, Yeah, where free shot?

430
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.440
