Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everyone from the Decon Chamber family. We've had a
rough couple of days here in Los Angeles. Tragic. Frankly,
We've had friends, people that you're fans of, lose homes.
I've never experienced anything like this in the thirty years
I've lived in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is I've seen some scary stuff here, but this
really it is tantamount.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
And listen, people need help, animals need help. We are
going to show you a list of places that you
can donate to. We would really encourage you, as part
of our wonderful community to donate anything that you can
because it's it's look the fires are slowing, but it's
the aftermath that's going to be a real, real job

(00:45):
of reconstructing what city looks.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
And not least the donation to the first responders, the
Los Angeles Fire Departments and all their affiliates, I mean,
the brave, incredible work that they do. We can only
thank them from the bottom of our hearts. They saved Hollywood.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
And there are people and there are animals that need
our help. And if there's anything that you can give,
it would be much appreciated.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, so what you can, thank you very much. Guys,
and we hope you enjoy the show. Nonetheless, this has
been a tough time for lay.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Stay safe, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, trekkies and trekkers.
Welcome back to another episode of The decont Shamber. As always,
I am with my best friend, cast mate and a
partner in crime, dominic Katie. Hi there, Hello. So here's

(01:49):
what we're doing. This is going to be our very
first watch party. We've been excited to do it in
the past of just having guests after guests, I just
wanted to incorporate what episodes of enterprise at THEA. Here
we go. We are going to watch the pilot Broken Boat,

(02:13):
directed by James Conway, and as always our show Sundays
at eleven am PST, and we want to hear comments.
So I think we're just going to fire off and
talk about Yeah, so we watched it. I watched it
last night, you watched it yesterday as well done.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I watched it yesterday and then again I watched it
this morning. Actually with the commentary we did ten years ago,
or more than ten years ago for those Blu Ray
DVD releases, So I listened to former us talk about
it when we were even a little younger with Brannon.
I forgot, you know, I've forgotten Brandon was in the

(02:52):
room and Dan Curry and James L. Conway.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Should we forget?

Speaker 2 (02:59):
He'll get pissed about that. But yeah, it was a
very good watch.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
And yeah, nice, So you know, off we go and
the initial scene with Archer and his father. By the way,
having watched this episode and I've seen it a few times,
I think it was the third most expensive pilot ever
shot at that point.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Thirteen million. And I heard Brannon say in the commentary
in Today's Money, which was what ten twelve years ago,
twenty mil.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, it wasn't cheap. Well, it looks like it. And
you know, let's start.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I mean that chase scene in the cornfield. They grew
that cornfield in Bakersfield, did you know?

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Did not know that.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
They went to that spot? They chose it as the
location the farmers there was no corn. The farmer said
give me three months. Our ideal won it nine feet
and they grew that entire field, built that silo and
blew it up with real pyros. Yeah that was a
real explosion.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Lest we forget, an rip to the king, I was.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Looking not to bring this down too much at the
beginning of all this, But Gary Graham's gone, Jerry Fleck,
our first da d gone.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I know it was really.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
You know, God bless them, and they were they were
great people.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
It's a fantastic action scene.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
It really is. And the Sulaban I think I'm right
and saying they were a new you know, nemesis to
star Fleet created by Brannon and Rick the c g I,
which was expensive and new, couldn't have been better. I mean,
you know, having them slither under that doorway and love

(04:59):
the at that the first one slithers underhead rolls under,
he goes, and then then they're not paying for another one.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
He opens the door up and the other one walks.
The one walks through. He trade the door, buddy, He's like,
I'm waiting, you know. And and then that that that
first scene where the Vulcans and the Federation are all
doing together. And I was a little shocked as to

(05:30):
how terse and relatively negative it was. And even even
Scott's reaction to all of this was.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, it was in the face of a what of
what a lot of what the audience prior to this,
I mean, we were a prequel, and I think Brannon
explained it as like, well, you know, relationships between us
and the Vulcans, this stage in our relationship history with them,
it's not great. And they were holding us back. This

(06:02):
wasn't your Spock and Captain Kirk relationship at all, and
there was a friction and they were, you know, as
it were keeping us on our guard rails and the
tricycle with the with the with the training wheels on,

(06:23):
and we were fed up. We were just fed up
of it. And Scott, I think HiT's a great tone
straight away, and you know, I can't imagine anyone else
playing that part. When when I heard that he'd been cast,
I was like, well, you know, if you couldn't get
Harrison Ford, hell, yeah, no disrespect to Scott, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
I was. I was thrilled when when I found, you know,
that it was Scott as the captain totally.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, you know, he didn't get cast. You know, the
process you went through quite a grind to get it.
Apparently they always knew it was going to be you,
and why they had you back seven times I'll never know.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
But no, no, no, they had a person on retainer.
That's right, that's that the studio wanted this guy, right,
and they didn't.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
They want do we have any idea? We never had
any idea? Who that is?

Speaker 1 (07:17):
No? I think I do. So it was the blonde
guy who wound up being in Brannan's next show after Enterprise.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Right, was that the one because I went up for
the mathematician that little dinklice got.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, God bless him. Can I say that? I don't
know if you can say it just that way? He
was very good, he was, and I was I auditioned
for another part in that that that guy got, right,
but he was the guy who was on retainer for them.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
So, all right, we haven't touched on the theme song yet,
should we?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
I didn't mind that.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
You know what, here's the thing. I love nothing wrong
with it the great there's nothing wrong with the sign.
I love the fact that it wasn't, you know, just
a symphonic theme song. Who cares well?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
They all did for a day time, and I think
it's still rankles with some of them.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Uh and I.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, I mean I and I know there was some
sort of deal between Diane Warren and uh and the
powers by Yeah, and you know it was another Oh
bless another song. She wasn't going to win an Oscar.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
For I think she's the most nominated in the history
of the Oscars.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
And they're no kidding and still, you know, look, I'm
sure she's not crying in our house in Malibu or.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Wherever she lives, waiting for a new doorstop or anything.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
So h and I just love that that that that
we were on a mission right away to take this
cling on back to Cronus. Uh and uh, you know,
and then then then then we find you doing the
once around the ship and banging into the Pape's.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
It's so funny that I look at that episode and
I said this last night, and watching it, this little
small scene, m hmm was the one thing that had
me go to Mexico for a week with Tequila. It
was this one thing that I didn't see enough awe

(09:30):
in my imagining of it in this small room at Paramount.
Did the Sequila help? It made me forget that I
hadn't been cast, I can tell you that much. And
you know, when I watched that scene and I think
to myself, wait a minute, you guys couldn't have had it.
I had to wait a week for you to think

(09:52):
that maybe I could have had enough awe looking at
the ship.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
I'm gonna I'm gonna embarrass you now because when I
went in with the sea and I I had was
when I was the stuff was being transported for the
first time, and it was they'd given me plasma cells
instead of something else. And apparently the word came back
was that you could just when I was looking out
at them, and you know it was back in the
days when you'd stare at all of them staring back
at you, Apparently they could see the transporter in front

(10:19):
of me. Sorry. Yeah, Well, and I had an heavy
ambottle in my hand as the plasma coils instead.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Well, that's why you had two auditions and I had
no ship.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
So once around the ship and that was that was
a CGI ship. That was the first time they'd not
built an actual, you know model, amazing stuff. Dan Curry
helped enormously with Ronby Moore. Of course, some of the
stuff that they were doing was just I mean, you know,

(10:57):
and we remind ourselves that this lot of this crew
had all been with this show as it were in
iterations for now. This is I think coming sixteen seventeen
years It was and I think that helped us enormously,
that the cogs were well oiled.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, and to look at it as a television show,
to see that that first opportunity to view the Enterprise
the NXO one, this is two thousand and one.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, yeah, and it was such a such ay, you're right,
given that we were a prequel and that, you know,
our technology couldn't be anything like next Generation for instance,
or Voyager. And of course we know that they visited
a nuclear submarine down at Sampedro to get a sense

(11:49):
of the cramped space that they were trying to emulate
on our ship, which I think.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
They did beautifully on all the sets.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
I mean, the one set that had sort of spaciousness
was the Sick Bay, which was Brannon's favorite set. It was,
it was Conway's favorite set to to shooting. He shot
it every which way. He literally there wasn't an angle
he didn't get. Yeah. Yeah, but I then the given
that they were going for a retro feel, but it

(12:19):
was for a two thousand and one audience, I think
they they walked that line like a tightwrite artist.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
It was beautifully done. Did we shoot this in order? No?
Not really, No, I mean some, but no, I mean
I remember it because I was going to bring up
what your memory is of the first day of shooting
for you. I was the first shot shot.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
I was the first It was a pop at my
little desk on the bridge. I remember taking that first
step up and going.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
It goes.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
It was a sort of you know, yes, captain or
you know no, captain.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Pop.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
It was nothing much, but it was We had the
the crane at that they'd use, especially there's another crane
that they wanted to use that's got a special name
something like. But they were very expensive, and so Marvin
and Jim had designed just using a you know, a

(13:18):
camera on the end of a basically a dolly with
a crane on it, and they could push it in
and swivel it around. And that's what we use mostly
for all those bridge shots. So you could get someone
from the turbo lift, bring them to wherever they were,
and then swivel around to get Anthony as Mayweather flying

(13:39):
the ship or whatever. And they were those were inter
Remember how intricate those shots, well, you weren't didn't do
so much bridgework, but they were very intricate, you know, tight,
tight shots that you actually you couldn't be an inch
off your mark when they were doing that stuff, otherwise
you'd be out of focus. And we shot on film,
remember thirty five mil. Yeah, you can see the you

(14:01):
can see the grain in us, which I didn't mind
it may you know. I think by the time we
got to shoot on the red camera it was still
quite infant. Did digital and we all look a little
you know, if you had one pimple. It was like
all I saw.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
I remember, I remember my first shot in engineering. I
do this run from say stage right, m all the
way over the warp corps, run down the left, scramble
down the ladder, jump up to the you know console.
And they were like, well listen, you're gonna go here,

(14:41):
here and here and here. And I was like one second,
can you give me like five minutes? I had to
try it?

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yes, yeah, and they want it done. And Jim do
you remember him? And he took no prisoners. I mean
when we interviewed him for our last show. You remember,
I actually said to him, I said, you know, you
know you were you weren't exactly friendly with a shame.
Where's that your style?

Speaker 1 (15:07):
You know? Somewhat? Yeah? Yeah, And I just remember being
so scared.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, that's what I said in funny Enough this morning,
listening to the stepping up onto the bridge, my heart
was going out of my chest, like, you know, don't
screw this up, dumb and well, I was.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
So convinced I was just going to get fired. And
then I thought later on, but but yeah, and then
I think that's when you and Anthony uh Mayweather walk in,
and I do for maybe, I think I only said
this line two times in the entirety of our show,

(15:51):
which was keep your shirt on and keep your shirt on.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
I'd already refrained it with him at the in the
transporter scene about Commander Tucker getting his nickers all in
a twist of me, you know, and I love There
were some lovely refrains in this. It was a really
well written pilot, if I might say so. I mean,

(16:14):
I've seen all the pilots of all the shows now,
and I'll say this about all the legacy ones, without
beyond a shadow of a doubt, ours is the best pilot.
It's the best written, it's the best story I think
our cast. Sheelled immediately. I knew that from the read through.
When we went to Paramount and we finally met.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
All each other.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Do you know Scott had only been cast two.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Days before, he'd come from Canada in Toronto.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, he hadn't actually got into sign on the line.
And Jolene was the other last one. They saw seventy
five girls for Joelene, they saw about twenty five of you.
I think I I remember Brandon saying, but they always
knew they wanted Scott, And when we had him on

(17:07):
the show, you know, last season, he told us the
story that you know, he went there to pitch another
show with his mate and it was a meeting, Oh
you know, we.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Actually we want you for another sci fi show and
his mates his mate must have gone and at the
time he wasn't interested until they described exactly how it
was going to go.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
That was going to be a prequel and you were
going to be the first and he was like, oh, okay,
now I'm interested, I'll do that. And he was brilliant
that read through at Paramount. I remember, just you know,
I'd had one other experience in England of being on
a quite a long running show, that show Desmond's I did,
and I knew from the read through of that one

(17:50):
that we just had chemistry. There was you know, there
were no there were I mean I often say that,
you know, you go and do a play or you
do something, there's if there's one asshole in the fucking
uh uh you know cast, it's one bad apple. Yeah,
and it can ruin things. And and there really wasn't.

(18:14):
And there was just this lovely camaraderie between us.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
All yeah. Yeah, we were in the right spot at
the right time.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
We're really good zeit guy stuff. So we're on the ship,
we're taking what was the character's name, the Klingon.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Did he have a name? Cling?

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Clang, clang clang. Yeah. I love those scenes with Linda
when he enrolls her to come on as the linguist
and uh and he goes to Brazil, which was Malibu,
to go get her. She's brilliant in those scenes.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
She really is. I mean, I was thinking about, you know,
my own self. You know, I watched that episode and
I don't necessarily cringe a little bit, but I'm working
too hard me too a bit, I have to say.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
I mean, I I you know, I yes, I mean,
I remember doing scenes with Jolene on the bridge and
I'm like, I can't hear her what's saying, you know,
congish girl act and then you look at then you
actually look at the finished product, and she's smoking you
off the screen because she looks like, you know, a

(19:22):
million and a half bucks and with with with with
an eyebrow raised up.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
She's speaking pages, you know. And I found in watching it,
I thought to myself that one I thought John was
really centered in what he was doing, and I thought
that Linda was as well.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Oh very much. So yeah, she I mean, and not
easy stuff to do all that, you know, I mean,
and she you know, she hit the note every time.
Her interest in hearing King on for the first time,
you know, you're immediately drawn onto her interest. She's she's

(20:03):
funny when she needs to be funny. Remember that scene
in the sick bay when he's she's now translating for
him and what did he He's obviously in some sort
of you know, post knockout dementia, and.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
He says, she's she's funny.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
I mean, she hits the comic beat.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Later on, he says, you know, tell her him to
shut up, and she goes, shut up, shut up A.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah, and John, as you say, you know, he's just
a very you know he's a very look he's the
one of us that's carried on and kept her career
going for twenty years after the event.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
And you know that ain't no coincidence. I will say
this about sorry to interrupt, I will say this about
the flocks smile.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yes, I'm glad they did not keep doing that. They
didn't need to, and they realized they didn't need to.
John had plenty of characters poring through the mask and
and that smile probably costs twenty grand.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Oh god, I think I did. Yeah, yeah, no kidding,
I mean.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
It looks and and it just looked a bit weird.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Did and he didn't need it, you know, exactly.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
H So we're on our way with Klang and then
the Sulaban come aboard. Some of those scenes, those when
when when the ship goes dark and now we're really
in this submarine environment, and we lit a lot of those.
Do you remember how much we should have been paid
the lighting bump? But we did a lot of lightning

(21:33):
with those flashlights.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
From the r and we had to learn, we had
to learn that you can't point it at their face,
put out the chest, yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
And we lit those scenes in the Jeffrey's tubes and
the like. And to see those cgi Sulaban creeping up
the walls was you know, really.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
It was, you know, good stuff. It was pretty great,
pretty great. And when the Bond show up and their
ability to disappear and and all that that, yes.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
The chameleon esque of them and the Yeah, then it
sees one of them.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
On the ladder and uh that is that when Scott
gets shot.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Somewhere in that sequence. I think, I'm pretty unless it's.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
It's it's on it's on that landscape.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
I think it's when we when we land on the pod,
when you fly the pod and you and you you
you you break the scrape the paint of theirs as
well give you in that pod when you go to
there to the Sula band sort of you know hive,
which is all made up of pods. I think it's
on the snowy landscape. That snowy landscape. Man, that was

(22:46):
that was one of the best sets we we had,
Jim said. Jim said, that's the best set that he's
ever shot on and one of the best fight scenes
he's ever orchestrated.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
It was pretty great. Yeah, it was remember those what
were those fans called there's the name for them, I
think yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
And that and the snow was snow was soap flakes.
It's detergent, yes, ruined anyone's shoes. Yeah, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah yeah, And that was like you know, that's based
straight out of the Okay Corral. Yeah yeah. And then
and then and then before that we've gone down into
the marketplace.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Well that's that right, so we we we So how
do we hear about sarrehen? We get that from.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Clang I think Plane says it, and then Paul says,
he says three or four words, and then and then
Archer says, what what do you?

Speaker 2 (23:47):
And then she knows about she knows that is it Riel.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Ten's I believe.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
She says, yes, it's Rachel, the tenth planet of Richel Ten.
And that's when we go there in pursuit of who
these Suliban are, right, and of course we know the
night before we've been at Paramount for the for the
big European sales event and bunting to a girl that

(24:15):
I knew from London from twenty years but ago. That
was one of my best mate's girlfriend who now lived
in Greece and was buying for Greek TV. Really yeah,
and that was quite a small world event anyway. You well, yeah, he.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Said, I'm sure that a lot of people know the
story already. That night, I was at a table with
John and Bonnie and you know the drinks for free, Yeah,
brief drinks and free food. Actors come right to the table,
and at the end of the evening, really kind of hammered,

(24:57):
I think I have the great idea. To John, It's like, listen,
I think the paramount owns all the liquor. Yeah, it's
ours too.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, so you've both got macintoshes on, haven't you.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Like I grab two bottles, He grabs two bottles. You clink.
John gives his two bottles to me. Go home, wake
up the next morning, hungover, like you can't imagine.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
And then the location we're on location in this.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Abandoned sewage was a working working sewage plant in Long Beach,
and we're like seven floors down and it just smells
like house. And I spend the first and I'm looking
at myself in the in the scene and I'm like,
you don't look too bad. There were moments where.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
I was like, oh, it was a long day in
the but my god, I mean the set dressing that
Herman had done. I mean it was amazing, wasn't it.
I mean it looked like Blade Runner. Frankly, absolutely, that
was the inspiration.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
I think.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
And you know, let's not forget the butterfly girls. I
mean they were the highlight of our day.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
I mean back in those days, you know, showing them
like that and like that mould have been like on
edge of like oh do or not do?

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, they were definitely pushing the envelope. And I know
this came up in the Na's book that you know,
she felt the exploitation of Ladies of Star Trek. But
I yeah, I know it, you know, because we haven't
we haven't got to the you know, the very name
of our show, the Decon Chamber yet, but yeah, we're
going to get there. But yeah, this was definitely but

(26:45):
you know what in sci fi terms and and TV,
I don't know, call it titillation. They were fantastic and
the cgi of their tongues coming out to watch catching
those butterflies was amazing. I thought it wasn't gratuitous. They
were sprayed in latex, well a little bit, a little bit.

(27:09):
I mean they were sprayed in latex. It wasn't a costume,
so there was you know, and they were twins. They
were real life twins from I think Poland, if I'm
not mistaken. And they were lovely. They were they were
really nice, nice girls. He said, I married one of them. That, uh.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
I love how in that in that scene, you know,
I mean you stepped out of your own self, in
your in your shyness about the whole thing. I did.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, I certainly did, as that Dom's grin. And somehow
they got to Scott to kiss his first girl quite quickly,
as you know, in homage to Captain Kirk. She ended
up going she did years on c S I uh,
and then also on the Kita. Brandon rather weirdly said

(28:07):
in the in the commentary, is it strange that I
like to better as a sulaban. Well that's funny.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Because yes, a little bit, because I saw her as
a sulaban now and I was like, yeah, she had
these beautiful eyes.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
She's a very very very very attractive lady. And and
that was Scott's first kiss, and and it came off
very well. That's so then we we figured we get
from Saren that Klang is holding something.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Is that what?

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yes, yes, yes, and that the Suliban have now managed
to augment themselves and they are what's the word, you know,
they are regenerated, and uh, you know, never we never
got to the never got into the explanation of future

(29:03):
guy who is the overlord of going.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
On, didn't We didn't, But I did think it was
back to the Suliban thing in that scene that that
John has with Archer or that yeah, that John has
Archer where he's you know, he's got this suliban opened
up and all the three heart ventricles and the particular
kind of eyes like he can he can see things

(29:27):
that you can't even imagine. Yeah, all right, that stuff.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
That you know.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
There was also that doctor Flox was modeled on a
real life doctor.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Called doctor I think his name's Wheel or Wile, who
used still to I think he's still alive. He is
a a is an actual Western medical medical doctor. But
he likes to use all sorts of other medical you
know actually yeah, dr while and so yeah, he does

(29:58):
he uses uh, you know, Amazonian whatever slugs and leeches
and to good effect.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
And that's who he was based on.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
So where are we in the telling of all this. Well,
we we leave.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
The snowy compound, Yes, that's right, we get back on board.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Have we lost clang at this moment? Because this is
an important part, because you know, we've got we got
one mission to show the Vulcans that we can get
this right, and we haven't even sort of stepped, you know,
got into the fact that you know, Joelene has come
along as to Paul to assist us, and there's.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Some monitor us.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Really yeah, and there's rankle about that. I love that
dinner scene that you guys have when she's trying to
cut the Italian breadstick with her knife repot because they
won't touch me with their hands.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
I mean, funny, funny little tidbit about that. Eventually, because
I was just like eating, eating, eating, and on other
people's coverage, I was still connor stop that they had
to give me like a pad underneath everything so you
couldn't hear what I was doing, because you know, I thought, yeah,

(31:17):
I thought, look, you know, I want to be there
for my my partner in the scene, and now I
don't want to be faking what I'm doing, so I
was I learned later that you know what if fake
don't do that. It's like, exactly, well, we should back
up on that because you know, by the time, it
must have been that scene where we were shooting on

(31:39):
because I don't think i'd shot a face pistol into
the night. And they were like, no, no, no, that
was that was later.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I was later, Yeah, like, what's that noise?

Speaker 1 (31:51):
I don't know, let's go again, Who's who's what is that? Connor?
Are you making sounds? And I was like no, And
then we did it again and they were like, Connor,
you're going.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
To be told. I think I did too. It was
Charlie Props came over to me. He said, a little secret.
Just squeeze the handle like you and it makes you feel.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Like you're doing something and there's no kickback, you know.
It was just and he grabbed my.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Bottom and he said like this. He said, I'll see
you in court.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Playoffs. We're talking about playoffs.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Oh yeah, you bet we are, mate.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Get in on the action at Draft Kings sportsbook and
official betting sports partner of the NFL.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Tell me, Colin, what's the best way to get about this?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Okay, well, scoring touchdowns is the key to winning in
the playoffs. Huh. And you can score big by betting
on them. At DraftKings the number one place to bet touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
So let's say I'm ready to make my first bet.
What am I doing? Okay?

Speaker 1 (32:54):
So basically what you can do is you can bet
on a player scoring touchdown. You can bet on the
score of the game. You can bet the over under
of that game. You can bet the winning team. You
can bet any number of ways. And with that, DraftKings
gives you the availability to do it right online as

(33:15):
you're watching the game. As you're watching the game, you
can bet as you're watching the game.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
I guess one of the easiest ways to make a
bet is who's going to score six? Yep? Yeah, And
that would be like, as you're right, okay, I'm up
for that, I'll give you five bucks. Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
So then we get back from you know, we've we've
dragged Archer back in the shuttle pod. He's injured, he's
been shot in the leg. And then I believe, don't
we go to the do you cont chamber?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
So yes, because you've come back, that's right. You only
you and Joelene apparently have got the pathogens, not lot
Linda or me or Anthony or Anthony. We did spend
most of the time in the shuttle pod.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
So fair a dues.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
But you and you and Joelene, God bless her, you know,
and my god, you were ripped in those days.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Mate. Oh just but it's so it's so funny that,
you know, I look at that scene and it's actually
quite a good scene. It is a good scene.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
And uh, and I think Jim shot it just with
the right tone.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
It was.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Gratuitous with a very small g h. And I thought
it was sexy. You know, And.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
I like the perfunctoriness of.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
It too, that you're not there's there's no there is
no sense of you know, what would you call it,
you know, getting close or stepping over any central line
or it's just got to do this.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
You know. Yeah. The funny side note to this is
that when I was shooting the scene with Anthony where
he's sitting on top of the the in a sweet
spot in the sweet spot and I go up and
I visit him. When we were shooting that, they were
testing the gel they wanted to use on two bodies,

(35:57):
on two like you know, naked models. Yeah, and we
were like, what's ald it? One of them was pretty
good looking and they did that for hours route to
get the right gel. And the thing about the gel
was they wanted to use wound up using K. It

(36:20):
had sparkles in it. K.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Why was sparkles in it?

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah? Well I think it was. It was an actual.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Yeah, it was it from loreal right for the pleasure
chest because you deserve it, that's right.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
But the thing about that scene, people outside of l
A won't know what that is.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
I got taken to the pleasure chest in my first
ten days of being in this really Oh my god,
Larkin McLain, Thank you, Larkin.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
But the thing is is that one it is it
is a sexy scene, but the content of the scene isn't,
which makes it sort of dynamic and interesting to me. Yeah.
But the reality is is that, you know, I've been
asked this over and over and over again, like who
was like shooting the scene with Julie, And I said,
you have to understand that behind that camera there's thirty

(37:13):
people scrutinizing everything about you, and yeah, exactly, and then
and then every after every take where we applied the
gel to wipe it off with a dry towel. Yeah,
so by the end of it, we looked like lobsters. Yeah,

(37:33):
cup Yeah, really sexy.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of ladies stop on that
side shot of you.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
It's so funny. They put me and I never wore
it again. They put me in a dance bell and
do you mean what like a like a ballet dancer
dance bell, you know when you see a ballet dancer,
a male ballet dancer on stage like wonk, you know,
and and so it.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, they're right, so that's underneath the shorts. Yeah, it
was almost like wearing a like a like a crookeet box.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Ye, like it's like a cup. Honestly it all up
and touch it right against.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
All these years, I've been super jealous.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
The magic of movie making some of them, know how
the rest of that sentence goes if you know, you
know that's right scene Juline, Well she already says before
we leave that station that she's taking over.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Right, that's right.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
That's a big moment. Yes, right, it is.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
And your face is a picture of like, yeah, you look,
your face looks like the two steaks that arrived to
the dinner table, right, exactly like a confused good old boy.
What So we lose Klang, the one thing we've been
you know, tasked with, uh, and to not show the

(39:13):
falcons that we we can we're not going to screw
this up. We lose Clang and he's not not he's
a big lad to lose. But he's suddenly gone and
now we have to go and get him. And uh,
that's when we end up going to the the Suliban
beehive as it were, the hornets nest, right, and we.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
See that that gas giant and they think that it's yeah,
they think that it's just peripheral energy going and then
they focus in more and it's actually it's Sulla bunch ships.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Yes, it's a fantastic shot. Apparently Dan and Ron Moore
worked on that for you know.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
That was days and days of.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Work to get that right, I'm sure. And Brannon said
that he loves loved, you know, ever since first contact.
He just loved seeing a space ship going into any
kind of gaseous giant and finding its way through. And
I'd just say, looking at this again. I looked at

(40:14):
it for the first time properly when we were doing
the other show, and now a couple of times now.
I you know, I really have an appreciation of how
good the writing is, how good the storytelling is, how
well gin Conway directed this.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
He was flawless.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
He nearly didn't nearly get to do it because he
was spelling and they wanted him to do something else.
But luckily it was all owned by Viacom and they
got him out of his commitments to spelling, and so
he was available and we really couldn't have been in
better hands.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
That's true. And here's something most people don't know. I
think if you or the director of a pilot and
then goes to series. Yes, you get a piece of
every one of those episodes for as long as that
show goes because you set that tone. Yeah, yeah, he did,

(41:15):
and a really good tone.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
I mean it's a lot of responsibility, and uh, you know,
I do remember we used to play golf all together,
and he was a pretty good golf for gym. But
I remember once he hooked one ball off the tee
somewhere where we were playing, and he got sort of
got pissed off, and then I remember I just heard
him in a side going, yeah, well Tiger Woods couldn't

(41:40):
shoot a seven page with a three page fight scene,
so well exactly. So we're in the Klingon hornets nest. Yeah,
the sulabun horn. It's the I love that effect that

(42:03):
that they It's called an echo effect. I think this
is what they were calling it. When you know the
space time, the spatial time awareness is moving as they're shooting.
It reminded me a lot of that lovely mirrored scene
in the Man of the Golden Gun the James Bond movie.
Do you remember when when they're and he's constantly looking

(42:25):
around for them and he won't show himself and and
then all of a sudden clang comes out of the darkness,
you know, and changes, you know, his cameleonesque, and suddenly
they're on the floor together. And I know that what
Brandon had written about the face pistol being fired, this
was a bit sort of like the matrix the bullet

(42:47):
being is the face pistol, you know.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
What he call it, not walk, it's like a tracer,
the tracer before.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Yes, and that you know, they I remember that apparently
they are Jim, you know, can you put that on screen?

Speaker 1 (43:03):
What I've written?

Speaker 2 (43:04):
And he goes, yeah, And you know, as actors and
you said this in the commentry or we just say
yes to everything.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
If you're the director, you better get it done and
you don't bring it. They go, but you said you
couldn't exactly, that didn't work.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
And he did, He really really did. He It was
there was no doubt in your mind's eye what happened there.
And so that when the actual face pistol fire came
and he dodged it, it was it was a great moment.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
It was it was such a homage to what's the
the movie that we would just mentioned, you know, with
the shooting of the gun and Keanu Reeves goes matrix.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Yeah, you know, I mean it really was.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
Do we shortly follow them into the Suliban command center
where I broke all of the face. Yes, that's it
pretty much.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Yeah, two, we had two. They were expensed.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
They were about ten grand each.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
They were the prototypes that they were heavy.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
And you and Scott had them to fight the Sealer van.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
And uh, yeah, well I had, you know, I did.
I did the first drop it.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
What did you do?

Speaker 1 (44:21):
No, I did the first take and I was supposed
to bash into one of these consoles and then fall down.
And I bashed and fell down and I fell on
the holster and it broke, and Charlie propped the look
on his face, Oh my god, you know, and then
we had to go again, of course, and he looked Scott. No.
I looked at Scott and I was like, can I

(44:42):
use your face pistol? And he looks at me and
he's like, don't break it, and I was I work, fine,
I'll drop a fall on the other side. Action bang
bang bang.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Broke them both, I mean literally after that, and they
weren't even in the toy store at this point.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
I don't know it didn't know.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
They must have glued that glued them back together.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
We used the ones from from we did we.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
They took out the they took out the noise and
and the and the and the red and the red
light in the front in the front, like the front something.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
But those would open up and those prototypes wouldn't open up.
They were just the ones were you used in the end.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
And I was glad of it because frankly, those other ones,
I mean they must have been about three four pounds.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
They weren't light.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Yeah, they're running around with those for sixteen hours would
have been uh, would have been something.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
I'm just easier than the ev suits. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Our first use of the transporter getting Scott back was great.
That was great and and apparently not easy. Dan said
it was the hardest transporter work he'd ever done because
Scott was at a run and he had to get
the exact same run from the corridor that he was

(46:04):
running from and then onto the transporter where you were
bringing him back in.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
It was really tricky stuff.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
I mean that I got to say the special effects department, well,
all those departments, but special effects just tomnled really, Ben
really did amazing stuff. And I've always think when I
look at his face when he arrives back on the transporter,
it reminds me so much of how he looked on
a couple of shots.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Of Consumtly Frank.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
It really is. It's got such a sort of reminiscence
of his the character he played on that show for
all those years.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
I mean, speaking of Scott, we have to.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Say again how incredibly lucky we were to have that
man at number one on the call sheet, and he
made from from day one day one, he was just amazing.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
He was the best leader. He was the most h.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Generous and playful, and he you know, and cool head,
level headed, and he has.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
This extraordinary ability to without ego. He's just he's the boss,
and he's the boss. He's the boss. But but but
without being a dick about it.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Yeah, yeah, you It's reminded me when I used to
work in restaurants, so I met my best buddy.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
He was the other manager.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
He got people to work for you by you liking
him and not wanting to make him look bad. The
other manager was an a hole and he just barked
at you for nine hours and you kind of got
the job done, but it was the longest nine hours
of your life.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
You weren't doing your best work.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
And for Scott, you you, you just it was a
joy every day showing up and and and he set
a bar that was that you wanted to match, and
a yeah, without a doubt. If there was an extra
on that bridge set on any given day that he
didn't know the face of, he was the first one

(48:16):
over with his hand out to welcome them to the set.
We've said it many times. We were so fortunate to
have him, and I pinched myself. We were at Paramount
when it was still so much the studio. There was
so much life there, There was so much production. The
commissary was amazing. The walls which Angels sh shot just

(48:39):
down from us, just down from us, charmed those through charming, charming.
God bless Aaron Doroty, God bless her.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
And she's just gone.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
And we shot on those stages eighteen eighty nine, I
mean eighteen You know, hitch shot rear window there, it's
got the buzzby Berkeley swimming pool underneath.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Man.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
You know, uh, two trailers. You look up onto those
balconies and that's where William Holden went to.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Meet the girl in.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
You know, we walked through the Paramount looking back at
the water Tower, through the Godfather Alley and we were
just at that signing and the Hollywood Show and there
was Hush I think that's his name. He played Johnny Fontaine,

(49:38):
loosely based on Frank Sinatra, you know.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
And then also in the parking lot when you pulled
in that that big wall was painted for the Truman Show.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Yeah, when he bounces up and it's it's a it's
not the sky at all, right, and every now and
again you couldn't part there because they'd filled it with
water for some other sea.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Yeah, amazing stuff. Man. We were very lucky.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Just the makeup department, Michael Westmore and all those wonderful
makeup artists we had who just you know, brought us,
you know, for everything to life.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
It's funny speaking of those departments, you know, in the
I've seen other episodes recently of Enterprise in the first
season to Paul's hair is pretty good in the pilot, yeah,
and then it becomes a ball cut.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Well it was a bit of a bowl cut in
the pie, but then it really becomes something.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
That becomes terrible. Yeah, you know what, they won an
Emmy that year. The only Emmy that our show garnered
was for hair Sugar. Yep. Well, I never.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Because I mean, I mean, you know, we we it's
it's jokingly. It was always referred to as hair trek.
It was Kerry McCluggage. His only notes were always about hair, apparently,
and mine. And if you've seen Kerry McCluggage, I mean
he has a head of hair. Does that guy knows hair?

Speaker 1 (51:06):
It's well cloth, it's well yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
I honestly I walk into the into the makeup if
it was your if it was your hair Tuesday, you
had a small village around it.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
Oh yeah yeah, and I could I could probably take
radio stations from your carrier, all the luminum foil, and
it would change from episode to episode.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
Yeah, I mean it looks mighty cute, honey, you know,
mighty cute.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
And also, you know, we should mention our makeup was
so easy because they just got the spray things, hadn't they.
Jeff Lewis, our makeup guy, had the spray gun. It.
They think they've been using it for a while. But
I had Brad look, Brad look Brad used it. I
had not had it used on me before. You'd go

(51:56):
in there. Yeah, af you win, off you go.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Yeah. And Susie Diaz who did Scott, and she and Juline,
she did Joline and lovely job on. I mean Joline
looked at a million bucks. God bless her, lovely. If
we can get her on sometime, we'll see. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
And then Brad, I believe was responsible for John who
had the mote.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
He did John, he did, he did the prosthetics, and
he did Linda and every once in the blue moon
he did me. And I had to say whenever Brad did.
And no disrespect to Jeff because he was great, but
he was much more workmanlike, if you will, and uh,
and Brad is a lovely sort of a soft, gentle
gay man. His his his touch with the with the

(52:46):
with the airbrush was just like it was so soothing.
I can't even tell you it was really was. It
was like, oh, I'm no disrespect to you, Jeff, but
you know this man, he walks on water.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
What else?

Speaker 2 (53:06):
So uh, we we get Clang back to Cronos and
they find that the the information is in his DNA.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
And I know Jim said, he he shot, you know,
other scenes for other u iterations of Star Trek. He
loves shooting Klingon scenes. All those actors were just you know,
just to the hilt scenery. Yeah, sure, but beautifully with
your you know, I love the.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
Look on the lead Klingon's face. He just sort of
sees it newsic. Yeah, yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
And then he comes up to to Scott with the
knife and barks at him in playing on him. And
Scott looks at Linda and said, what did he say?
And he she goes something something something, I don't think
you want to know. And then she goes, you don't
want to know. She has to say, I mean her
comic timing's very good.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Yeah, she very funny.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
It was only about her third job.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
God bless her. I believe it was her second job.
The first one was she had a small part in
Jurassic Park three. Yeah, and then she'd just come out
of college. And there's a funny story to this. This
was her second job, I believe, maybe your third.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
I think she had something, she'd done something else this.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Episode of something. Yeah, but we're sitting there one time
and she's asking him. This is very early on I
might have even during the pilot and she asked, She's like,
you know, well you're an actor. You lived in New York,
you know what did you do? And I said, well,
you know, I did stuff up and down the Eastern Seaboard.
And I went up to Boston because I know that
she went to be u and in the theater department,

(54:47):
and I said, yeah, I went up to Boston and
played Septimus in Arcadia. And she goes, you're Septimus. That
was you? And I was like, yeah, that was me.
And she goes, we all had terrible crushes on ah

(55:07):
and that was it.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
So and then we come back to Earth and we
have the presentation in front of star Fleet. Uh, I'm
just trying to think this through because we're still out
in space, aren't we And we get the word that
we're we're not going back.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
So what was what were those scenes when well we
we we give Clang back right, but we are there?

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Is there is a couple of scenes when there's tears
of us Are we on Earth there? Gosh, isn't that funny?

Speaker 1 (55:50):
You know we should mention Von Armstrong Forest, you know,
the fantastic.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Yeah, and this first time as a human and and
but the most time, he's the he's the actor that's
played the most parts on Star Trek in its entirety.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Yeah, twelve twelve, we said twelve or thirteen. I think so, yeah, yeah,
God bless uh they they they c g ied in
a second level of.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
People because it didn't look like it was important enough. Yeah,
and and that worked very well. But I love that
that bit where you know, Scott announces to us that
we're you know that we're now going on on a
on a mission and there's a there's a planet some

(56:39):
five light years away with humanoid beings on it.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
And that was one of the moments I'm sorry. And
that was that was on moments where I've sort of
felt like, oh, you overdid that one, Connor.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
It was almost like, yeah, I love the refrain because
it starts off with Mark Moses playing Jonathan Archer's dad,
who I used to know very well from the Y
m c A. And and that young boy playing young
Jonathan Archer, and they're they're trying to they're they're originally

(57:12):
painting the spaceship in the boy's bedroom and then they
fly it at the end on the beach in Malibu,
and and there's that lovely refrain of you know, you
can't be afraid of the wind sun, and it's a
beautiful ending to the to the episode.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
I also thought it was a really lovely moment when
to Paul decides to come along, to come along, Yeah, yeah,
it is. Yes, you know, I I know that she
I know that she was terrified Joline uh for what
she was doing. I mean, it's such a hard part
too to really to find that that really delicate balance

(57:59):
between I don't don't feel anything or I'm not showing
you I feel anything, and yet feeling something. Yeah, and
she she she wound up doing a great job, she did,
I have to say.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
And we were all sort of it was it was
not something we were used to that she had her
acting coach on set in that first season, at least
for the first few episodes.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
We would run sceanes together all the time, all the
time with him and her, yeah trailer, and we found
that would you the three of you you were I
didn't know that yeah all the time.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Oh and did you find that helpful having someone else's
input like that in or was he only ever really
directing her as it were?

Speaker 1 (58:43):
Oh? Yeah, he didn't he left me. I mean, yeah,
he left me alone. It was clear that he knew
what they were doing. Yeah, and it would have you
know she, I mean, god knows.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
I mean there we've told these is a couple of
times about Richard Burton complaining bitically that Liz Taylor was
giving him nothing in Cleopatra, and then you know, being
shown the dailies and he's like, oh, she's wiping me
off the screens, smothering Olivier and Marilyn Monroe.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
Yes, exactly.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
And this was another very much a case in point.
The camera just there wasn't a there wasn't an angle
you could put the camera at Joe Livne that wasn't
you know, just easy on the eye and perfect. And
she she she's she nailed it. She moved well.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
And you know, I think she spent some time in
a d R. I think I tell you one thing
about Joe.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
She was a very she was a sponge like and
she watched others on the set, Scott maybe and yourself,
and and she just you know, soaked up how to.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Do this, you know, yeah, agreed, agreed, And she hadn't
done much before that, No, she hadn't. She was a
quick study.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
And not to give ourselves any airs and graces, but
you know, we were very fortunate with the cast we
had and how well we gelled immediately. And yeah, I
mean we were we were a crew and we were
and we should. You know, let's not forget. We must
mention Marvin Rush He shot and lit these scenes, but

(01:00:31):
Billy Pete's lit them, and Billy Pete's I mean, but
under Marvin's you know direction, God bless Billy Pete's And yeah,
I mean all those guys, I mean, it's all our
costume people were so wonderful and amazing attentive and it
was honestly, you know, we've said him many times con

(01:00:53):
I mean, some of the happiest years of my life,
without a doubt. And it brought us together as lifelong
friends now and you know we've we've been through a
lot together, mate, in this in this.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
Town of Angels, and we won the World series. That's right.
That was amazing. That was crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Yes, So to put this in context right with the timeline, yes, yeah,
God bless the Dodgers. And I know that probably won't
piss off too many Star Trek fans, so God bless them.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Well, you know, I think ultimately, as we send ourselves
off after this pilot episode and doing this watch party,
you know, as as is our paraphrase this what they
say in the show is like, you know, let's go
see what's out there, see what's out there. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to to to getting through the episodes.
And and I think, well, it wouldn't be it wouldn't
be a bad idea, So we don't have to go
chronologically just through our show. I think, you know, I
was thinking to myself since we were at the Hollywood Show,
I was sitting next to Barbara Luna. We should get
Barbara on absolutely like this to talk about her episode

(01:02:16):
of the original show. And I think this would be
a great thing to do so and and and have
other guest stars on similarly for other episodes, not necessarily
our show. And uh and we'll Sultan Sultan pepper it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
Yeah, I think that's I think that's exactly what we
should do.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
Yes, yeah, well, it's been lovely taking a memory and
when we were young and gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Goodness, I know you could cut stone with their bodies.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Oh my word, honestly, I mean yeah, I remember, I
mean I've told this story a couple of times. I
was a bit older than you and Anthony, and I
was engaged. And I remember being at Target. I was
buying a pair of chinos to play golfing and they
were thirty two inch weighte and I was.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
Like, oh, well, you know, I'm getting engaged. I'm getting
the married a forty It's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
And then and then said, I must have seen you
in that decon chamber scene. And when that's not happening,
that's what I took the bed out of my trailer
in the bench. Yeah, god bless I'm glad I did.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
And yeah, so yeah, thank you for that. Yeah, well welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
I remember you used to the bagels at craft Service.
You remember you used to scoop out the dough.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
The bagel. Yeah, yeah, God bless you. I mean it
really know. You know you had to fit those damn jumpsuit. Yeah,
in the jumpsuit yeah, no ship. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Anyway, it's been a love very fun time. I hope
you all enjoyed our remembrances of our.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
First pilot episode.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):

here it is.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
There, it is there, it is that is the original
first part of Broken Bow with all the signatures of
everyone on the front page.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
It's so it's so original. It doesn't even have the
logo on. It's just a blue cover and.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
It doesn't have anything on at all. It's just got
my name at the top that I wrote. And then
I went to everyone's trailer and might have told him
it was for charity.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Still is Still is all right, all right, you guys. Damn,
that was fun. That was really fun.
