0:01 Space the Final Frontier. Join us for a bold conversation our prime directive to recap our favorite Star Trek shows, both new and old, to engage and debate about all things Trek. Prepare to energize with Phasers Set to Stunt. Hello everyone, and welcome back to Phasers Set the Stun, where we continue to show our love for everything Star Trek in this ongoing series from a film by podcast which focuses on every quadrant of the expanding universe of Trek by covering television, animation, movies, directors, merchandise, and so much more. Plotting the course as always a jocal Trek crew, I'm David Burns.

1:02 I'm Scott Hoffman, and I'm Wayne Whited. I shall go ahead and give our normal red alert to our listeners. If you are not caught up with the series, please go do so, as there are spoilers ahead, and big spoilers ahead. I might say from this episode, Captain, We're going to need a bigger landing party. Well, gentlemen, we are halfway through the season already. With Strange New World Season three, with episode five, through the Lens of Time, I got to tell you I had original vibes in this episode of Star Trek. I really really did throughout this and I don't know if you guys would agree with me, but I also had star Tek Stargate vibes in this episode.

1:44 Yeah, I did too. Yeah. I don't know if it was just where they were shooting or what it was, but I mean, obviously they're dealing with ancient history and stuff like that, like ancient aliens and stuff like that. But you know, I just I had that vibe going on with this. I was kind of picking up a little bit of a D. And D vibe. Okay, I could see that ten times. Yeah, I definitely cold get that. There's a lot of vibe going on in this episode. I got an Indiana Jones vibe. All right, looks like we were getting all kinds of vibes. Well, before we move into our different planes of existence, let's keep our communication lines open and Wayne tell our listeners what this episode is all about. The Enterprise is at VDF nine to explore an ancient site discovered by Corby and Chapel. While exploring the temple, a glowing orb explodes in the face of medical assistant Dana Gamble, and he is transported back to the ship just as the others become trapped within, the away team discovers that the temple was built as a prison for extra dimensional parasitic alien beings called the Vesda. Meanwhile, Gamble appears to be possessed by one of the ancient and non Kaporia Vesta and takes Ma, Benga, Scottie, and Pelia hostage while attempting to take over the ship.

2:54 First off, thank you Pelia for deciding to join the Rule back time. It is about time pleasant to have her with the crew, getting the humor that we get from her. She has a few good laughs in this episode, and it was it was fun to have. But I gotta tell you, guys, the way this episode opened, I'm like, oh God, goodbye Nerve Gamble. I just knew it. Yep, I knew when when they started the way they did. I'm like, man, we didn't get to know you, buddy, but it was nice. Yeah, that was pretty obvious when it. I got that same feeling too, Yeah, I mean I really. Liked his character. Man, I wanted to get to know him more. I feel kind of cheated. I mean, there is something that happens at the end with the screen behind mem Benga. I don't know if that's related that we may get something else from I don't know, But I don't know about you guys, but I feel really cheated with Gamble.

3:53 Yeah I did too. I wish, you know, we'll see we're five episodes in. I wish we had seen him in more the episodes. I mean, I liked him. I remember even when we first saw him a couple episodes ago, mentioning that that I really liked the interaction. That they had the idea that they were introducing these secondary kids cast members, but I had no idea they were introducing him just to kill him off. And I kind of wish that they would have developed him a little bit more, maybe put him in, you know, two or three more episodes. Yeah, it seemed like there could have been more runway to make more of a connection with him Benga on. More of a personal level. There was a little bit of a time when I thought we were going to lose Am Benga as well, when he says take me, and I'm like, oh God, please don't another personal Gamble like you know, would love to see to stay around.

4:41 But yeah, it's too soon. I just I liked his interaction with everybody that he had. He had this this excitement, this youth that you get that anybody who's brand new on the job, but you could really feel the excitement in him when he you know, he's on the enterprise, which is a t He knew that, and you know, I think even says that, you know that he was excited to be able to save the enterprise that he's working on, and and the relationship that he had with Membinga, it was almost like a father and son almost kind of thing. And it was almost to the point that you know when when he hugged him, remember, uh, he was almost backed off a little bit because he's like, oh, I shouldn't do this. You know, you're you're my commander basically, not in those words, but you know, that's exactly what it was. And just it was like a little kid when he realized he was going in the away mission.

5:32 And I absolutely loved that. And I'm like, well, you must have been wearing a red shirt because we all know where this is going. But it's just and then when his eyes get taken out, oh my god. That was pretty gory. That was that was pretty gory for Star trek. Yeah, but it definitely set the right tone for the whole episode. I mean it was more horror than I think I was expecting. Definitely a lot of adventure in it, but a very interesting, you know, psychologically kind of scary bend that they took with this. I found myself wondering if there was any gamble left or if it was really just I think it was just the the Vesda. Yeah, I think basically, I think it was just kind of laying in weight and using his memories, using his personality as kind of like a suit that it was wearing around to be able to get back on board. But clearly it used it to great effect to mess with a manga because it was getting into his head, getting into his daughter, which is obviously kind of a big parallel they drew with this to kind of tap into his feelings as a father.

6:49 Yeah. I had that same feeling too. I wasn't sure if there was anything of gamble left that I felt. It was the the Vespit like playing with him, you know, trying to trick him. That's that's exactly the vibe, the feeling I got, I. Know, when he was when he was running the test, when he first got him in the medical bay and put that thing on his eyes to try to you know, get his eyes to come back. And then when he tried to do the reading and nothing was reading, and then he goes and says the let me do that again. Basically, you know, he he was dead. You know, that's that's the creature that's taken over his body. But you know, I remember when I first saw the episode about the Boorg when back in the Next Generation, and you got that that feeling, that imposing doom that you had through the whole episode. I had that in this episode, did you guys?

7:43 Yeah, yeah, I felt that too. Week. Well, first of all, we've got a what could possibly be an all new villain for Star Trek, and I'm really glad that they've done this, you know, rather than just you know, bring back the more familiar ones, we got something new that can that feels like it can be really explored and really established. There could be something big here coming up. I mean, we may be seen the beginning of the storyline for the rest of the series. Who knows. But yeah, I'm extra excited the fact that they did this. But it did feel that way. It felt like something big is coming from this, and I have my it's more than a theory. I'm I get something later. I want to ask you guys to see if you guys caught Okay, well.

8:26 I mean even Pellia you know when she gives that little speech there at the end, like you know this is like pure evil. You know, didn't that remind you of Gynan when she gave the card the warning about the board, Yap. It's exactly what it was. And I had that feeling all over again, and it was just it. I got chilled when when she gave that, of course she wanted to repeat you need to repeat it again for the camera. Well, and that's one of the things, like such a thing into like either she had like a twinge of seriousness to that or that she was trying to be like hype were dramatic and then do you want me to do one for the camera? Yeah, that was that was Carol Kane Gold. Yeah absolutely, Speaking of that, Wayne, I want to go back to something you had said a few episodes ago.

9:13 I think you're right we're going to get a documentary episode because I think this was the setup for that. I really do. It's I'm I think I read somewhere it has been confirmed that that episode that we thought was a documentary is a documentary. It is that good deal. I'm looking forward to that one because I like what they did in this episode with with Helm, you know, I thought that was unique and something start Tuk really hasn't done, to be honest with you, So it's been kind of interesting to see that angle. But anyway, you know, back to this episode, there was there was some humor in this not a lot, but I think they really couldn't do that because what did the subject they were dealing with here, and obviously pressed for time obviously, you know, you have only so much, so many minutes to tell a story, but you know, what's going on in the what's going on in the temple, all that kind of thing. I thought it was very well balanced.

10:04 Yeah, yeah, they did a great job of managing time between the two and just enough intrigue. Like it's really kind of a trippy concept, that quantum instability and being in the same place but on different planes of existence at the same time. I wasn't quite sure the explanation for how the camera could see all three phases at once, but then I put the nifty three k switch on way and then just said just relaxed, enjoy the episode. I thought that was rather odd too, and they didn't explain anything about it. I'm wondering if they do that on purpose or not. I'm not sure. Yeah, I don't know. And then let's talk about Patel, the gorny inside of her, recognizing this creature that was in Gamble, and then you get this incredible fight. I'm going to go ahead eight. I don't know if they did it on purpose, but did you notice when Batell was swinging, there's almost like Gorn from the original Star Trek how he how she? I thought that, Yes, it looked like that. I don't know if I think that was, but I think it was. I think it was intended because it was I I noticed the same thing. Yeah, that was so cool. I'm like, holy crap, are they doing this? And but no, the whole sequence man, where I mean, she just goes crazy. Obviously, the Gorn takes takes her over, and they obviously have to calm her down.

11:32 But kind of the insidance that we had when Spock was mind melding with her and he kind of got that too. But I thought that was a really cool. Scene and obviously obviously these Vasda are mortal enemies of the Gorn. Yeah, you know, it's a nice little establishment about you know what's going on. A little bit. Yeah, Yeah, there's definitely Q guy vibes in that, like this deep seated hate for each other. I think it's beautiful how they're creating language in this episode for that fight scene, but also the character of Angel, and I think Ish Morris did a fantastic job with that character, even though it was a minor character, kind of slipping in and out of language that's familiar. So it's interesting to see, Like I'm watching it with subtitles on, and I can see kind of the language they're using. I wasn't able to dissect it too much, but it seems like there's some interesting specific use of language that they have there between the two. It also kind of made me think of when Spock looks at one of the orbs and sees kind of that that same Gorn head kind of pop out of them or pop out at him.

12:57 What I found interesting though, was that it seemed like it was more of a memory than something new. Yes, so I wonder if that orb was kind of like we saw with Gamble, it's kind of tapping into something inside of him or kind of hitchhiking in his memories more than showing him something new. I don't know. Well, let me throw this at you guys, because I'm not sure if you noticed this or not. And this may put a complete different perspective of everything here too. Remember a few episodes back, on the episode of Wedding Bell Blues with Churlaine Charlaine. Now, keep in mind the planet that they're on right now, it was Vaddy and nine.

13:38 Charlaine mentioned and nine as their whole old home world. And if Trelaine is part of the que continuum and this is their old home world, we you know, these could be evil Q. This are what they used to be. This we could be getting an origin story for. The que oh my. But they did that on I mean, it's definitely on purpose that that those planets were mentioned that would be deep So, I mean, that's that's a good question. Are the are the Vasda the original versions of the Q You know it opens so much like I said, this story this could be the beginning of the storyline that's going to be for the rest of the second half of the series.

14:21 Yeah, I think I think what we saw in this episode is going to be our cliffhanger for this year, because we know it's not gonna be the Gorn again. I think this alien is going to be the rest of the season or at least pop in here and there until the finale, and the finale will be this That's my guess. So two things to build on that. Number One, Wayne loved that idea. I totally got some of those like evil Q vibes when Pelia was talking about it. It could be interesting that these versions of Q can be imprisoned or that they have to hitchhike in some way that they have to kind of you know, possess someone else to get anywhere. But also kind of interesting to think about if this is the villain that's going to cause the cliffhanger for this season. It feels like there might be a possibility that they have to wake up the Gordon that they just put to sleep.

15:19 Oh oh man, oh that would be That would be a good guess, an interesting twist to the story. Yeah, because of the only one that knows any kind of like actual connection or history to them is you know, whatever's happening with Pattel. And along with that, Speaking of Patel, Pike may have to let her go. He may have to allow her to become whatever she's becoming in order to fight this creature to save the Federation. Yeah, I have a feeling is a big heartbreak coming for him. Yeah, that's my theory too, that she's not going to make it to the end of the season. No. Man, that's gonna be some heavy stuff that we're going to deal with this season.

16:00 Which is a shame because she's an amazing character. Yes, absolutely. Speaking of amazing, how about Chris Myer's performance as Gamble, and not just as Gamble but as the creature too. The way he was able to turn it off and on off and on off and on like a switch. I thought his performance in this was phenomenon. It was, Yeah, it was. It definitely deserves recognition because I mean, I don't know whether it's CG or how they kind. Of apply the. Whatever was happening with his eyes to show them like gone. But yeah, the way that he uses like subtle tilts in his head kind of Michael Myers kind of thing. Yep, it was really really well done. It kind of straddled the line between ultra creepy and pity, like you're feeling sorry for Gamble at the same time that you were, you know, wanting to get the heck away from whatever that is the thing was.

16:51 But she didn't know what was going on yet. In my opinion, I really didn't know, like I said before, whether they were just playing tricks or if it really was gamble there, which if it was Gamble, that's even more tragic than what it would be without. I mean, you know that uh, Pellia shot him and and you know, killed him. I could understand her shooting if if if it really wasn't him, but if he was still in there. Oh and you know, speaking of that scene, that right there proved Mimbinga is not the monster that he thinks he is because he did not pull the trigger. He held off because he thought that was gamble and he was not sure what is going on. And obviously Pellia had to step in and shoot from behind. But that just proved right there, from Mimbanga saying that he's a monster, he can he's not.

17:44 He's not, no, yeah for sure, yeah, yeah, And I mean I feel so bad for him because it's a it's a the way that it ended as kind of a horrible perversion of what was happening with his with Rookia, with his daughter, that now there's something being kept in the transport buffer that is inherently evil that they want to get rid of, versus something that's you know, the kind of a paragon of love, like, you know, something precious you'd want to keep. So do you think when first off, Portman being has to call the parents of Gamble at the end of this episode to let him know that he's gone, But the monitor behind him when it starts flickering and stuff like that, So do you think it's the creature or do you think it's Gamble? Or I think it's the creature too. It's it's like infesting the ship.

18:37 But that's that's an interesting point, I mean, interesting thing you brought up there. I mean, it could. I mean, we may not have seen the end of Gamble, I know, you know, really we really don't know. I mean, you know, was he there, is he still part of the consciousness or or what was he? Did he die with his body? Who knows? But we definitely have not seen the end of these aliens. No, not at all. Interesting. So something that just came to mind, there's almost kind of like a Cybock element to these things, is there not, in the sense that he has that kind of empathic ability to tap into somebody's deepest pain, like taps into a mango with Rakia, taps into Rex's mother. I think it is, But it all it seems to be this kind of reading ability that somebody uses as almost a gateway to get inside.

19:39 Did you literally get to bring fun in the Frontier into. This I did? Wasn't there kind of a didn't somebody like dangle a Karen of Yes? Never actually materialized? Well, they're still talking about it, just hasn't happened yet. Yeah, Okay, I hope they do. Come on, give some, give some our trak five. Love years Sybock love a phrase you never thought you'd hear. No, not at all. I feel dirty even thinking about hearing it. But no, I mean these are all good questions, man. I mean, this episode really makes you think that they did a fantastic job with forcing you to use your imagination in this.

20:21 Well, let me just want to come back. I mean, I want to see what's happening next. Yeah, what if what if Sybok was a Vezda all along? Oh, come on now, possibility like his brother never had those powers but then shows up with his ability to read people and take them to the ends of the earth to unimprison God from some kind of God planet. Maybe a stretch. I don't know. That's a q always thought he was God. And if the vesda's already early cues, they may have been looking for God. I don't know. There might be something to that. I don't know. My brain hurts even thinking about that. Too much for one day. All right, let's get back on the high. Good creep. I never thought of you talking about talking about Star Trek five tonight in this episode. But here we are.

21:06 Here, we are. Scott, quit it. No, it's it's good. It's good, good talk, good discussions. I like I like that anything else in this episode, you guys. First off, I want to say, and I hope our producers listening to this again, I want these jackets. I love that Away Mission jacket. Those were fantastic. They are they are cool. I love those two very cool look for them. I was like, man, they look awesome in those I would wonder them in that. I mean, I know it's pretty early, but I mean they make reproductions of everything else. So I could see some one of the companies making this, and I could also see them taking some of my money to get one. I will be buying that jacket if they do make it, so paramount. If you're listening, put that on your store because I want it. Yeah, with the star Trek logo on it coming, I mean that with the not to Strugloge, but the emblem of Starfleet. That's what I want on there too. So yeah, absolutely it must have been cold or something, because I mean where they were filming, obviously they were on location that was not a set, so which I like that too it because it feels so real, so tangible that they're actually using a location somewhere. I really wish they would do more of that instead of all the CGI stuff that we get.

22:17 I think that's where the Stargate fives came from because in every episode that they always looked like when they were filming in Canada, it was always looked like it was freaking cold, so. Here we go, and it probably was that it was, you know, because that's why they were in the jackets. But yeah, they looked fantastic. They really did. They did what else you guys got for this episode, anything that really stuck out to you that you loved. We talked about a lot of stuff here, so. Well, one thing I want to ask, so, speaking of the cave prism, since we're there, did they technically leave it unlocked? No? It shut? Yeah, it did show okay, because Chapel did the blood things, so someone else would have to do that again to open it. From what I would understand. Well, because the signet ring went way out to Polaris nine or whatever. H the tablet had been disconnected, so theoretically all those VESDA were imprisoned. And I just kept thinking about when Krby looks back at that, you know, like you said, the Indiana Jones vibe like leave it, leave it alone, Indiana, let it go, but almost like shouldn't we shut this off?

23:17 I guess it's fine, but. It clothes, We're good, it's locked, all right, let it go, all right. The only thing I want to add is, you know, even though I was really sad to see Gamble die, I think, but I really like the idea of them exploring the death of a secondary character and the implications the you know, the emotions from it. We don't see that very much on Star Trek. You know, usually you know, you follow the main cast and you know they're not going to die, and most of the time stuff for Jetzia. But you know, seeing that, you know, I think they did that in the next Generation one lower decks. They did it on lower decks. Yeah, yeah, And I like that because unfortunately death follows the Enterprise a lot, and many times we don't see the the the consequences of it.

24:09 It's nice that they explore that, although it's sad that it was that character. Yeah, yeah, it was rough to to lose him like that, because I mean he was an innocent he really was. Yeah, he was green, he was a rookie, and you know, obviously he should have touched what he touched. And his first way mission to port. No, that makes it even rougher, man, it really does. And you know, and men being is gonna beat himself up for this, just something else the poor guy needs on his conscience, right, but well, it is what it is. Unfortunately, right, we don't know. We haven't seen the next five episodes. We could see something weird happening coming up, we don't know. All right, Well, let's talk about which characters shine the most.

24:50 I'll let Scott go first. Uh, there were so many of them in this one. I I'm going to give it to ends in Gamble. Who good joy. Yeah, Like, I'm looking at the roster and I'm like, well, Chapel had great moments, but her had some great moments, and Benga had some great moments that Heel had some great moments, Pelly had some great moments. But you know, give it to the one that we're probably not going to see again. Yep, Wayne, what about you? Yeah, You're You're absolutely right. I mean, there are so many of them had great moments, and I want to choose Pellia or your Her, but I'm going to say Gamble to our specifically the actor that played Gamble. He shined because his performance was really phenomenal. I mean, you know, we what two appearances and we really like him and we were sad that he's gone. That's pretty impressive, and you know those scenes with him switching back and forth, which is incredibly acted. So I'm I'm going to give it to the actor that played Gamble.

25:57 I'm gonna agree with both of you. It is definitely antot Gamble. By the time I got to this episode. I knew right away that was my answer to this question. But one of the things I really want to point out about him is the joy that he has in him. And it kind of touched base on that earlier. But he is the epitome of the nurse that you would want if you were in the hospital. Correct, Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because sure he loves his job. He loves what he does, and he loves where he's at. So and he just it bubbles out of him. He can't help it because that's who he is. And I love that very much. Like as soon as it opened up on him, I knew where it was going, but it just made you feel good. He really did. He was warm, inviting, and I don't care who you are, if you're in a bad mood, you're going to mean a great mood when you're around him all the time.

26:51 Yeah. So I think we get kind of a one two punch there for Gamble on his own. Absolutely, when you're giving those descriptions, it feels like a proto Chapel. Yeah, you know, because when we. Were first introduced to her, same kind of things, like the way that she's talking about like I'm just gonna mess around with your DNA a little bit and she winks like then you knew what kind of character she was going to be. And I think for a Benga seeing you know, the successor to Chapel or kind of the replacement for Chapel, being a similar kind of person, but distinctly his own character. Had to feel good. I mean, that's kind of guy that a Benga would trust in his in his sick bay.

27:35 Yep. So yeah, good point, good point. So if you be any character in this episode, who would it be? And why? Wayne you go? First? Well, there's a lot of trauma going on in this episode, so I'm gonna definitely want to be Gamble. I'm gonna say Scottie because he seemed to come out of it the best, I guess, the at least, you know, he didn't have to go through all the emotional terminal and then he gets got to capture the alien at the end and come up with a solution of trapping him. But I'm way to get adding quotes because I don't think he did the job completely. Nope, he didn't, scott What about you?

28:18 For me, it would have been hur uh. Because she had to be like a kid in a candy store, seeing all different kinds of languages to have to translate, and you know, things like that. I used to love Lee did a Superheroes trying to translate interlack, you know, as you were kind of going, so I can I can empathize with that kind of situation, Say what about you? For me, I'm saying far away from that awave mission as possible. So I'm gonna be Una because well she gets to hang back and just be a kind of a voice or reason and not be in any conflict or danger. So I'm good with that. Yep, I do have a question, and I know that well, if they had done that, it would have been much of an episode or whatever. But as they were standing there waiting for the platform, they had to do that leap of faith and other Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade kind of reference. You have a big group standing there, right, and they all have to be connected to chapel, right, So is there a reason they didn't do like safety patrol and just have everybody hold hands. So when she takes that leap of faith, that's like, okay, she's good, and if she's not good, we still have all these people holding you like a tug of war.

29:30 I don't know that would make sense, wouldn't. I was just like, what's the big deal? Everybody hold hands and she takes a leap of faith. That's just Spock getting his revenge. Yeah, dang dark spot there? All right? Ye, all right? So this is a I know Wayne's favorite part ether eggs. Wayne, what do you got? Oh? Not too many this time. They were busy with storyline. But Dana Amill mentions Korby's work on molecular memory and corporeal transference. That ties very nicely into Corby's appearance in the original series What are Little Girls Made Of? And how Krby discovers that ancient machine that creates androids that can copy your brain. They're leading that direction with him.

30:21 I had a little fun, although it was really hard to see some of the names on that map in the conference room, I was able to pick up a couple of names, uh, some interesting ones. One was Trible Prime. I mean, I'm assuming that's the home world the Tribles, but I didn't even know they had a home world, So you know, I can understand a reason why they call it Trible Prime. But I did see let's see you guys, you guys recognize this name? The London cor London Core. Yeah, sounds familiar, doesn't it. That's the planet where Geordie LaForge ended up trapped with that romulent in the Ectionarian episode The Tername. Yeah, there were a lot of other names on there, but those are the two that that stuck out the most for me. Now, pick Dana Gamble mentions that he's been serving on the Enterprise for six months. That means that it's been roughly three months since the episode Wedding Bell Blues. And finally, Will Scotty traps that captured a Vasda in the Transporter of Buffers or as he calls it, nowhere. That was very familiar because he'll use that same trick to save himself on the USS Jane Nolan before it crashes into the Diceon Sphere in the episode Relics. That's right, that's it.

31:34 Good catches on those man, Wow, those went right over my head. Impressive. Well, what do we see you next week? They're really secretly of about episodes that are coming out, which I like. Well, we did get a description of the next episode. I was actually rather surprised to see this. Let me read it to you. Kirk's first day as captain descends into chaos when the Enterprise is captured by a Scavenger ship. Well, okay, I notn't say much, but you know, there it is. Which is interesting, isn't that? The next episode is the Sailout who Ate His Tail? Yes, that is correct. Okay, that does not sound like a Kirk epis. No, it doesn't not at all. I'm not sure.

32:15 Well, we're gonna finally get see Kirk in charge for a little bit of here, so that's gonna be kind of interesting to see. Yeah, I'm sure we'll see him in some Scottie stuff, I would hope. But I hope so too. Well, I mean, I think we kind of know where this is leaning. We've already talked in this episode what we think the season is going. Now. I think it's clear that this is taking over the rest of the story of the season, along with Buttell still fighting, you know, becoming whatever she's becoming with the Gorn. Yeah, which, I think that's all going to come to a head, all of it at the finale, is my my belief in. It sounds like it's going to be a good finale. Though, yes, it does Thankfully they've alreay filmed season four so we don't have to wait a couple of years.

33:00 And you know, I know we'll get it next year, but at least we got something to look forward to. We get some kind of date and not really a date date, but you know what I mean, it'll be something next summer. I'm sure. Yeah, it'll be nice, Yes, absolutely, all right.
