(00:00):
The show you're about to listen tois very old and comes with a warning.
When we recorded these shows over adecade ago, the world was a
different place and we were little morethan children. As a result of this,
you might hear a few things that, by today's standards, we judge
to be inappropriate or offensive. Pleasedon't be offended. In the years that

(00:24):
have passed since recording these shows,we've all grown up to be wonderful,
loving, liberal, freethinking, openminded individuals. If the US from over
a decade ago say something to upsetthe you of today, please understand that
we're as disgusted with ourselves as youare. But isn't this what life is
all about? Learning and growing.We all said and did things in our

(00:46):
younger days that make us cringe whenwe think about them. We just recorded
it and put it out on theinternet. With all that in mind,
I hope you enjoy the show.Oh and there's just one more thing.
Don't email the or try to entercompetitions. We don't have that email anymore
and all the competitions are over.We do have a Facebook group where you're

It So Episode number forty three.Yeah, I am Mike Dawson. I'm
Richard Smith, and we are theteam that brought you Make It So Wild

(01:30):
stallions. Last week, half anegg, guitar, Echo's coffee in the
other hand. Still in this week, coffee. It's that late coffee.
Yeah. If we don't have coffee, if it gets to half nine,
you know, we're just We're justgone. Yeah. A couple of caffeine
addicts you and I I just Ibegun to love it. You know,

(01:52):
you've begun to love it. Ididn't used to be bothered. But you're
the coffee man. There was nevercoffee in this house until you started coming
here. Now that was just becauseI prefer it to tea. Yeah,
but now I'm I'm a caffeine fiend. There's a big step, and I've
taken that step. See. Idrink two liters of diet cokead day,
So I was already a caffeine field. But now I I thought you were

(02:13):
off the diet coke. No,no, no, no no. I
substituted for Pepsi max and coke zeroevery now and then. Is that the
way you feel that I always goback to diet coke. I knew you
were fixing those blood tests somehow.Yeah, I don't know. Never mind,
I've addicted to diet coke. Yeah, yeah, I could just see

(02:34):
you in it. No, I'mnot even going to because I started making
a drug rehabilitation along these lines.Alice is not crucifying me one day when
I'm not looking, So I'm notgoing to do it. But suffices to
say, I have an amusing situationin my head. Yeah, I have
the same situation in my head.I have thought of it many times whenever
I refer to myself as a cokeaddict. In fact, yeah, yeah,

(02:58):
how many grammars are you doing?I don't know, about a liter
and a half. Everyone in theroom goes, fuck, it's all right,
it's coke zero. Oh you wantcaffeine down the hall to the right.
We're the serious drug addicts. Okay. Anyway, So it's been a
while since we've touched on these ones, but but we have best episode from

(03:23):
season four of Star Trek the NextGeneration. The site I have of you
right now is so you're getting readyto read me a story. What because
you've got my glasses on. You'vegot your glasses on, your sat in
a high back leather chair. You'vegot my legs crossed, and it's the
box set you're holding looks so muchlike a book. And I have a
small cup of coff in my righthand. If you only had the main

(03:45):
light off, it would it wouldbe perfect. Yeah, but I have
a camera phone. Do have acamera poses spectator? This is such a
slow camera phone. There we go, So I will share that with everyone.
You can share that with everyone.Excellent, So if you're ready,
I'll get ready when you are.I'm sitting comfortably. Are you sitting comfortably?

(04:09):
So I'll begin. Okay, So, first episode obviously following on from
the dramatic, drastic first ever seasoncliffhanger for Star Trek ever Best of Both
Worlds Part two, So we kickthis season open with a Belters, a

(04:29):
belter of an episode belting its wayacross our screens and is still one of
the most monumental classics of sci fitelevision to date. We've just seen Picard
as acutest for the first time andbeing hit with it to be continued in
a year. Yeah, we've gotCaptain Reiker in this episode for the first
time. We are with the horribledecision of whether or not he destroys the

(04:55):
ball ship and the captain he loves. You surprise that he doesn't do it
in a kind of well, hedoes do it well, but you're surprised
to the fact that his plan justfails completely. And then there's the wonderful
twist where he says, well,actually I know everything Picard knows, and
so do they, and you're alittle bit fucked. It should have let

(05:19):
Wesley, Oh, I didn't seethat committed you. Yeah, should has
done a different ship anyway, Soit's a barn stummer of an episode.
It is. I love it,but it's you know, if we're going
to be really strict and say it'ssort of best episode of season four,
it can't in might but win becauseit is good, but it is nothing

(05:41):
without the last episode of season three, and that's the season three episode.
Now you see that's a bit unfair, is it unfair? It is a
bit unfair. But half of thisepisode is not another season Yeah, I
know what you mean. Maybe weshould do the best two parts at some
point that it's good when we runout of these, didn't we run out
of episodes? Someone someone suggested onthe forum that we do a Babylon five

(06:04):
episode, and I did quite quicklysay, yeah, that's when this show
is very close to the end ofits lifeline. That is when we do
a BA shows, when we starttalking about other franchises and do a Battlestar
Galactica episode on a Firefly episode andeverything else like that, and then it
becomes the sci fi podcast with Mikeand Rich. I don't know. A
Babylon five podcasts seems like a veryextravagant way of saying you phoning that guy,

(06:30):
yeah, which is essentially want tothink it might be? Are there
enough people interested for a Babylon fivepodcasts? It was a cult hit,
man, it was a cult hit. The cult hit is dead. It
is dead. It is dead nowthere is no such thing anymore. But
back in the day, pre ordasinternet malarkey, there were cult hits,
and Babylon five was one of them. I just never got into it,

(06:51):
with its amega graphics and it's crapacting and chad dialogue and bad dialogue stories.
I didn't care about a themes thatlook like I'd made them. Well
as you see the stories. Thisis again what we went to last week.
Of the stories were what kicked usin Battle on five. The story
was immense, you know, itwas the only reason anyone watched it.
I'm gonna I'm gonna admit to thefact that I don't know anything about the

(07:14):
stories and so probably shouldn't comment onthe quality of the story is actually incredible.
But you're quite right the acting dialogueit never never costumes, makeup sets
all bollocks. Bad move then,really, but how good the story was
kept you watching it? Anyway?Fair enough? Anyway, different show.

(07:35):
Not scraping the particles out of thebottom of that cyber barrel just yet.
Next episode, so we're saying,best of both worlds is a pretty pretty
fucking good one. We know this. Who doesn't know this? Come on,
raise your hands. If with thereal non star Trek fans, please
stand up. Family Episode two.I hate this one. I actually quite

(07:57):
like Family. Piccard goes back toParis to France because he's a Frenchman with
other Frenchman who speak of English accentsand an old, old acting body.
So Patrick Stewart from Rada. Iplay his brother. Did he get to
Rader, I don't know, buthe's one of the old old school Shakespearean
actors. Is very serious and theyspit a lot, those sort of people.

(08:18):
Yeah, he plays the brother andhe's one of those. I really
really has coming back wolves parents.I have all the specsum diagrams at home.
Yeah, that's that's really good walkingaround it was your blood. Yeah.
And Piccard fighting his brother and themurders like they couldn't stop them,

(08:41):
and Piccard breaks down a h PatrickStewart can never actually cry on screen.
Um, And do you know,I'd say this is one you have to
see if you've never seen it.This is a good one for the difference
in an approach to a Star Trekepisode. Now, I'm not saying that
this is the sort of the firsthierarchical storyline we never had in Star Trek,
but you had best of both worldspart one and two. Yeah,

(09:05):
and then instead of just going backto normal and oh, I've just been
assimilated, said oh, I killedlots of people. Oh. Would probably
take most normal people two years toget over this on a basic psychological level,
but the deep seated scars would bewith me for the rest of my
life. But I'm Captain Picard,so next week I'm going to be back
to normal. They actually took thetime and gave you an episode of Recovery,

(09:28):
which it was quite a bold moves, a good idea. I see
what they were going for. Itjust bores me. I quite like it.
I think it's actually quite You're right, it is quite dull on all
the brothers who don't lag each other, and they're French and they're actually English.
Yeah, it is nothing really wrongwith it up until the fight.
I love it at the end whenhe starts goading him and gets Picard to

(09:54):
about the goading. Yeah, andgets him into a scrap and gets into
emotionally unload himself because he can't doit with the crew. No, And
so it goes back and it's hisbrother and it's the first time we've ever
seen percard breakdown at the only timeup until Generations we ever see percard breakdown
and actually get really upset about something. And then of course in Generation this
is about the death. Yeah,that's why it's important, because this is

(10:16):
another little story. It's a characterthat we've met and it's important to meet
these characters because they do have suchan influential sort of role to play further
down the line, even though youwon't see them again. No similar thing.
It's nice that you've met Wolf's parents. Yeah, it gives you a
nice sort of context to them.Yeah. You learn more about you understand

(10:37):
Wolf a bit more when you seehim with his mom and dad. Yeah.
And it is that kind of embarrassmentof your parents at Parents Evening kind
of you know they you know,they drop you off at the health of
party, or you're supposed to gointo No you can't come inside, mama,
or you have to come to thisyear you've got a party to go
to when your parents went to ParentsEvening? No, no, no,
no, I mean like the samethose situations you your parents come with you

(11:01):
the Parents Evening and you're walking aroundand all your classmates are there and they
see how embarrassing your parents are,even though everyone else is thinking to themselves,
God, how embarrassing my parents are. Ye. And the other situation
where you walk into school and andor a party, you get dropped off
at a party and you say,oh, no, he can't come anywhere,
like you know, drop me aroundaround the corner. That's I never

(11:22):
made my mum do that. Yeah, that's mean anyway, next episode,
next episode, Brothers Belter of anepisode Absolute Belter again? Is this the
one with a candy man? Noother brothers Yellow Brothers? Oh sorry,
sorry, no, I thought itwas the one where Ken comes back.

(11:43):
I apologize. That's that guy.It looks like lot like Data. It's
law Law. Is this the firsttime we meet Law? No, it's
the second time Law Laws. Datais evil twin Yeah, but we meet
Professor Union soon. Yes. Again, an astoundingly important episode. Beyond to

(12:03):
see the guy, beyond that,beyond everything else, we have the first
twenty minutes or so, which featuresData taking over, well, having his
homing beacon into and taking complete controlof the enterprise within five minutes. And
that bit when Pat cat to McCardthinks that he can just about get through

(12:24):
to Data at some point or getcommand of the bridge, and then the
computer tells him that another thing isstopping him. And it's a lovely little
moment where Piccard just sort of looksup, just really pissed off. Doesn't
even say anything, there's no linesof dialogue. He just looks really annoyed.
I've just been fucked over by atalking doll by data data. Ah.

(12:46):
And the weird bit as well,where the bridge goes to blue alert
for the first time and only timeever in Star Trek. I think,
is it like an environmental problem?Yeah, the ship's going to explode.
It's just like you're going to decompressionor something like that. Yeah, this
is Spot did it once. It'svery reminiscent, reminiscent of that right Spot

(13:07):
doing it. But that's not aproblem. But not the ship. It's
cool. Well, the cascading forcefield situation as well. Oh, also
very and that brilliant bit where theforce field goes over the the transporter pad.
It's like careful Comada transporters don't takewell to ricochets, the core chambers
don't take well to ricochets. O'Brien, good old O'Brien, brilliant set of

(13:31):
lines. And then of course Lauraand Nunion soon and we have all three
played by Brent Spiner, which atthe time you wondered, how the fuck
did you do that? Now youwatch it and you can tell the eye
lines a bit off, and youcan tell the coma cree the Chroma keying
is a little bit off around theedges and everything. But at the time,
Jesus Christ, you look, it'sbrilliantly done. It's brilliantly done.

(13:52):
Still a feat for television production atthat time. You have to meet Nunian
soon. Yes, this isn't Thisis such a key character to learn about.
And he dies and he well,he dies, and that's why it's
so important that you meet him nowbecause he's talked about so so much.
But then they bring him battle threeor four times. They're different ways,

(14:15):
well, not literally bring Oh heappears his holographic programs and other things.
Yeah, there's that sort of thing. I'm got to help you explore your
dreams. Data in the guffest hourof Star Trek, that one I enjoyed
that birthright, Oh, that's awful. And then he has that dream about
the bird flying down the corridor.You can actually, just as the bird's
about to leave the Enterprise, ifyou look closely, you can see a

(14:37):
crew member in the corner of theboom mic. Really yeah, it's bad.
That's a warf episode though. Reallyyeah. Data bits just to sort
of introduced Doctor to Shir because he'sthe only cast member we've got on site
at the time. Yeah, sortof thing. Oh, there's also the
other part where his sister comes inand there's another holographic thing, so you
see him, you see Nunian soonat the incarnations various times of his life.

(15:01):
I forgot his sister went, herarm falls off. Yeah, that
gave it away anyway, So thatwas a good one. Suddenly Human,
a rescue craft contains a kidnapped humanboy. When his family demands his return,
violence ensues. Oh is this ahuman boy who is living with people
who aren't humans, like raised bywild animals, sort of hunting howling creature

(15:26):
people. Yeah. The first time. We've sort of given another style of
music in Star Trek as well.When he's listening to it in Picard's quarters
and everything shaking, it's like adeath mattile rock and kind of thing.
Futuristic futuristic, don't that noise?Yeah, that sort of thing. Just
get to know that for all peoplein the future, your music still too

(15:50):
alloud and cold noise. Yeah,brilliant stuff. That's that's a fairly weak
one. It's just there. Yeah, remember me. Members of the Enterprise
crew begin to disappear and I've forgottenby the remaining crew leaving only Beverly.
This is a good one. Thisis a good Beverly crush exactly. It's

(16:11):
always enjoyable to watch because I cannever remember whether she has to jump through
the vortex or avoid it. Ithink she has to jump through it,
because she was avoiding it all theway through the key is just to jump
through it. I've actually seen thisepisode rehashed by the TV series Eureka recently,
all right, which didn't occur tome till we've just talked about this

(16:32):
episode now. But it was soblatantly a rip off of this episode that
it must be made by the samepeople in some way, shape or form
otherwise as a lawsuit. Yeah,in the pipe because basically the sheriff of
the town. Everybody started disappearing ina big white vortex and no one could
remember them, and he had togo through it in the end to be
safe. I did love the factthat they get I think Picard is the

(16:53):
last one to go, isn't it. It's very well done. I mean
when she sat on the bridge onher own, well is up to the
piccard one? And then she saidlike it says, well this is how
we've always run the ship, justthe two of us. And she's trying
to explain to us, like,there are enough places for a thousand people
here, where are they? Iwas like, no, it's completely automotively.

(17:14):
Just lie around now, this makesno sense. This makes no sense.
Yeah, it's quite cool, butit is quite cool. It's Beverly
and Piccard. How do you getthat assignment? We'd like to put you
on the ship that holds a thousandpeople, but we're just going to put
you on with this woman that you'vefancied for years, and you two can
just go and fly around the universetogether. Is that all right? And
we'll see what happens. Yeah,we'll see what happens. Yeah, there's

(17:37):
a shift assignment for you. Awful, awful, what a terrible mission.
Anyway, So that was a goodone. Good lots of silly rules.
Beverly, Thursday is naked Day.Thursday, Monday to Saturday is naked Day.
Sunday is naked bar Chocolate Moose Day. I'd say it's something that if

(18:00):
you were going to make rules up, you wouldn't just do one day of
the week, would you now know? Anyway? Legacy the Enterprising counters the
sister of murdered crew. Remember TashiYah, I don't know why I'm doing
these voices tonight. They work well, Okay, now they don't stop doing
them. But this was a sortof let's bring up an old character.

(18:27):
But it's not a bad episode.It's not a bad episode there. There's
also a couple of key points inthis which is quite good. The first
part is the fact that, forthe very first time, when the Enterprise
crew of beaming down into a potentiallydangerous and hazardous situation, rather than have
their phases on their belts and beamdown standing straight into the middle of a
fucking war zone, for the firsttime ever, they actually draw their phases

(18:51):
and point out ready to be readyto go in all directions. So when
they beam down, they're ready fora firefight. Which is the first and
only time there's ever been done.But fucking out, it should have been
done every time. I've seen itdone quite a few times. No,
I don't think you've seen it.You've you've seen someone beam down phase already,
But have you seen them ever doit in the actual I think I
have, But I think it's theonly time, certainly the first time.

(19:14):
That'll be a foreign thread. Okay, yeah, that's yeah, that's a
good one. It also has Datadoing the coolest move with a phaser ever.
Oh, that'll almost the spin roundhis finger. Yeah. I tried
to do that with my toy phaserand never could master it. No,
his would have been weighted differently probably, And again his was a Type two,
Yeah, wasn't it. No,it was a Type one. Of

(19:36):
course, Season four confused with theepisode Comentry because we're doing two in a
row today because Richard's away next week. I think, so, yeah you
are yeah, or this week?Yeah, when this is released anyway,
anyway, Okay, so that waslegacy, wasn't it. Yes, that's

(19:57):
quite good. And it also hasTashi to walking around in a ridiculous cat
suit, ridiculous blue cat suit likecat suits and Star Trek are ridiculous.
Really well, I just wouldn't actuallywear them out in real life. Everyone
else gets those horrible gray things andshe gets this bright blue cat suit just
because she's fit. It's funk here, it's biass reunion. Okay, Wolf

(20:18):
meets Wolf's lover. Kayla returns witha surprise for Wolf and also for Picard.
The surprise coming in the form ofa small cling on boy. The
worst thing ever happened to the serieshappened in this episode. This was worse
and Wednesday crashing over. No,it's not as bad as when you really

(20:38):
need one. It's not as badas Wesley crush because Alexander did not have
anywhere near as not screen time asmuch screen time. Sorry, he had
enough. He didn't have as muchas it happened to the Vulcan science officer
in the motion picture. That shouldhave happened to Alexander. Alexander, Yes,
right, Alexander Lujenko turned inside out? Yeah, end of problem.

(21:03):
Isn't this the one where Kayla dies? Yeah? And then Wolf goes and
murders We have the end. Oh, Because simultaneously with having one of the
worst things in Star Trek ever,it also has one of the greatest scenes
in Star Trek history. It remainsto this day my favorite. Wharf victory

(21:26):
kill somebody as the rest of thecrew come in and go whoa, he
goes, fuck you bang. Itis great. It is so satisfying.
And with the battled sticking out ofhis neck and it just wobbles a little
bit. How undignified this might thisisn't the running for my favorite one so

(21:47):
far, simply for that and simplyfor that moment. Yeah, it is
just it is the shock of it, you know, fuck Jack Bauer.
Warf was there first with the oldyeah, just just kill him. He's
unarmed, he's on the floor.You're superior, offers to tell it,
telling you no, But he justfucking killed the woman you love. What
are you going to do? Areyou going to know? Actually it's against
federation principles, So Federation, I'mgonna put it down right, is a

(22:11):
bit slow on the ball here.He does have a phase of which actually
can stun human beings and clingon's.In fact, if he really wanted to
stop Warf, he would have justshot him. I don't think he really
wanted to stop Warf. Probably not. I think he wanted Warf to do
what he was doing, but hehad to be seen to be making an
effort. Yeah, you know there'sa reason why Picard lets him off.
This. Did this come up inour episode of Ship that people get away

(22:33):
with Us? I think, yeah, people getting away with Ship? You
know, everyone stirred, but Wolfjust gets away with murder. You still
broke the rules warf. You shouldhave been in bother for that, and
no one said a word. Youshould have been charged. We just sweeped
it under the rug. Maybe that'sjust the result of them seeing the batless
stuck in that guy's head wobbling thereand because got that in his mind when

(22:56):
he should be telling him off.Maybe have you learned your lesson? Wolf?
Okay, go on, then don'tstab anyone else. It's just embarrassing
it would be to setting that reportback to Staffleet. Yeah, Wolf,
Wolf, Well he actually went onto another vessel and killed their captain.

(23:18):
I'm going to tell him off aboutit, okay, because he's a big
bloke, he's rather scary, andhe did just lose his girlfriend anyway,
So yeah, that's a that's agood one, I nearly said belter again
there future imperfect. Another good one. This one a Tomolock episode, which
is actually not a Tomerlock episode.And then it's not even a it's a

(23:40):
holiday within a holiday, an alienkid who Rico adopts and we never see
again. Well, there's a surprise. It was never going to keep that
kid around. It was a fishbubble eye kid. Yeah, and he
would have cramped Will style. Hedid bring him back the latest new blonde
Nson home only boy to be inthe corner of the room. I would

(24:02):
have loved it if you'd gotten tosort of like the end of season seven.
Yeah, Riker does Paul and bringsome girl back, and you never
You've not even seen him, Youdon't even thought about him since that episode.
And there he is, just satwith Riker's dinner. I made you
this. Uh, he's actually justwandering around making like a food maybe discovering

(24:22):
one episode. He'd never officially reportthat he brought him on board. He
just keep him in his quarters.Yeah, just just my little man servant,
a little boy servant him what Ifound him. He tricked me,
I have a little man servant becauseI found him in a cave. I
thought I'd bring him back. Yeah, do you want to borrow him?
Great programming Holidex. Oh that's terrible. Yeah, it's terrible. So that

(24:48):
it would have been better if hebrought him back on board. Piccard had
liked him more than Wesley and sortof we had a couple of episodes of
this this fish boy sort of takingover the helm of Bit and Wesley.
What it was fish Boy. Thenwell I'm not flavor of the month anymore.
Fish fish Boys for the win,Yeah, fish Boy for the win,
definitely. I think fish Boy thenwent off and started working with hell

(25:12):
Boy. And I need to knowwhat happened to fish Boy and why didn't
replace Wesley. You don't need suchbetter The Risers don't know. You don't
need to know. Never happened.But yeah, Future Imperfect and it had
the first sort of futuristic It wasquite a cool episode, this one.
When you were young. It waslike, oh, bit of future,
bit of future, but it's notactually future. Um. And then there's

(25:34):
the old Admiral Picard and the theFarangie helmsman. I can get over a
Farrengie helmsman, but the Romulans beingon our side, that's Romulan warship.
This is ridiculous. They say wedon't love Star Trek Mike. I don't
know. I don't know. Bastardsanyway. The final mission another great episod.

(26:00):
Sorry because we got rid of theCount Wesley. Go that was harsh.
I thought we'd agreed that Wesley reallywasn't all that bad. Yeah,
well this is a good one aswell. In fact, actually for a
Wesley episode, this is a goodone. It does have the guy getting
turned into a chrysalis and everything inthe desert. Oh yeah, this one

(26:22):
ruined only again like the last one, by the fact that I've seen it
ninety two thousand times. Of allmy recorded off the tele tapes that I
used to have, it was thisepisode and the previous one that perhaps survived
the longest. I see the seasonthree sets survived the longest for me.
I think season three is definitely mymost familiar season of Next Game, definitely

(26:44):
definitely, which is probably why it'smy favorite. Although season four is a
close second. So it's good.I have to say this is a close
the last half. Not I hada bad episode yet on this list,
Well didn't. We've known about someof the early one a minute ago,
not really the suddenly human actually yeahabout that, but that's a bottom that

(27:06):
anyway. Final mission, So yeah, this is a good one. And
then we also learned for the fullI learned for the first time. You
know, you know, Star Trekteaches you things, yeah, and makes
you're generally smarter human being, umand a nicer, more rounded person.
Before you tell me what it isyou learned. I'm going to guess what
it is you learn, then tellme what you learned. That the alcohol

(27:26):
that the man drinks the hyeah,Yeah, that's what I learned this episode.
I can't believe that. And ifI'm making that up, there's no
way I could. There's no no. He did not just make that up.
We didn't know what that was.He did not know what I was
going to say. But that isexactly what I was going to say.

(27:47):
Yeah, that alcohol d H hydratesrather than quenches your first here you go,
there's proof that Star Trek makes youa clever person, smarter person.
Absolutely, I'm amazed by that.Actually, that's that's that's a brilliant plug
for the TV show. That's brilliant. I can't believe you. I thought
you were going to say something differentand I was gonna go no, no,
no, no, no, it'sthe alcohol makes a dehydrated part.

(28:08):
But no, you actually said it. Fuck me. That's brilliant. Okay,
So the loss Troy's and perfect powersdisappear and she resigns from a post.
In the vital moment, I thinkshe would finally shut the fuck up
with moaning about stuff. Finally weare rid of. Oh I've got this

(28:29):
headache and I don't know where it'sI can hear this music playing, Oh
I can hear you even thought,what can you hear? Nothing? And
you're still moaning? Just say okay, So at the moment ago that we've
not had a bad episode yet,I think the loss is a fairly bad
one. Actually it's not too bad. I can't remember anything about it,

(28:51):
so it can't be pretty much howI've just described, right, Data's day,
and now this is a good oneas well. This is a nice
good one. Lower decks esque,different perspective on the ship. Data goes
around and learns how to tap dance, and you see the replomat and the
night shift, and there's all thissubplot about a romulent agent on the ship
as well, and all that stuff, and it's really good. And he's

(29:15):
actually writing letters to the guy whotried to have him killed a few years
ago. But they're all friends nowbecause it didn't really mean it. O'Brien
Keko's wedding, Oh yes, ofcourse, of course, most importantly,
the only event in the O'Brien's historythat isn't marred by disaster in some way.
Oh, No, they nearly don'tget married, did they? Oh?
Yeah, yeah, they fall out, don't know. It's just we're
all sort of like, why isdata O'Brien's best man? Yeah, how

(29:38):
did this happen? Surely it's Judy, Well, surely it's anyone, because
up until this episode, Chief O'Brienis the guy in the transport a room.
Yes, this is the first sortof O'Brien's real episode. Yes it
is. I mean he had hadhe's had a name for a while,
but we've never really you know,we just first time you see Keiko as
well, isn't it? It certainlyis um Yeah, important episode here is.

(30:02):
Yeah, from a subplot point ofview, Yeah, although we see
Chief O'Brien from the episode one,don't we use that human? And he's
promoted to man on his own intransporter room? Well demote it because he
was an officer on the first one. Of course was the continuity again and
they had never been to the academy. Yeahs perviously enough, what was being

(30:25):
the difference? If he had partof the temporal Cold War timeline shifts and
everything. Maybe that's how you explainall continuity in Star Trek is good?
So Yeah, Data's day is agood one. The wounded to prevent a
war per card must bring a renegadestar fleet captain and his vessel too.
He'll So that's another O'Brien one.This is a Cardassian episode, the first

(30:45):
Cardassian episode. Oh yeah, wehave the very different sort of brown spongey
Cardassian uniforms and yeah, and theweird thing they put over their heads or
their Parlatsian ships. Yeah, wesee those again. And it's golder Cut
not being Goldercut as the first Kardassianmuch in the same way as we had
Quark not being Quark in the firstepisode. And odd that isn't really if

(31:07):
you're on next Gen, you reallywanted to be the first one to play
an alien because they're going to doit later, because you're going to be
the one who plays the main alienin Deep Space nine exactly look at Row.
But then she sucked it up,So that one's yeah, that one's
a pretty good one. That hada cool ship, cool new ship in
that one, like the Galaxy classversion of the Reliant. Yes it is,

(31:30):
which was quite the greatest closing lineof when the Cardassian is on is
in the observation lngue with Piccard andhe walks out, and without even looking
at him, Piccard just says,tell your leaders will be watching. Ah,
yes, and everybody goes you seethat he told you that I watched

(31:57):
him? Yeah, and the cardasking sort of shit? You know,
can really get over that? Yeah, it's good shafty people, right,
we wanted. We wanted a crapepisode because it wouldn't be a season of
Starter about some kind of shit,real shit. Devil's Due. Picard puts
a sultry demon on trial to preventan entire population from signing themselves into slavery.

(32:24):
You know what, the woman inthis episode that Piccard could have run
off with was pretty good for him, and I think he should have done
it right, just saying that's that'sall? You think of the stress that
followed Picard in his life after thisepisode, when he could have just been
spunning around the universe doing what's hername from this one. I suppose that's

(32:46):
true and she's not bad for him, but he's a star fludfs god damn
it, h fuck it. Umshe looked like fun. Yeah, she
came back. In the comics clueswent all accept data are knocked unconscious.
It soon becomes clear that he's hidingsomething. I love this episode. Yeah,
this is another clever one. Everyonebut data doesn't know something. Yeah.

(33:10):
Yeah, it's a good one,so we have to figure out what
it is. And that's a goodone. Wants to men with the big
projected heads. Yes, you'll seewhat we mean when you watch the episode
first Contact, not the film.Injured and taken to a native hospital,
Riker's true identity is discovered with dangerousresults. This is the one of the

(33:34):
scientists who wants to sleep with analien. Yeah. In the most possibly
the most ridiculous Selien star Trek theNext Generation's history, as admitted by Jonathan
Frakes and the writers. Yes,but was pretty good anyway. A nice
reversal because it's all done from thesort of point of view of the aliens.
In discovering other aliens walking amongst them, looking like them. It is
a very nice idea. Yeah andyou want Yeah, nice reversal, A

(33:59):
nice sci fi writing. Not thebest episode of the series. Now keep
going, we have okay Galaxy childGeordie's expectations are shaken when he meets the
real life version of the holographic colleagueLeah Brahms, who he won't sleep with
because she's engaged. I thought shewas actually married. Oh she married one

(34:19):
of the two anyways, against StarTrek morality to sleep of a married woman.
So none for Jordan, None forJordan's takes five minutes to tell us
so, and she's a real bitchas well. Yeah she's not even nice
to him. But they soured themilk, as James Duhand would later say,
when they get the baby off theship and everything. Yeah, some
early weird space alien model work stuff. Great, not a great one if

(34:45):
you want to see good space aliens. Tin Man really of the previous season
was a winner. Excellent space Alien, better Space Alien looks better than this
thing. Okay, Night Terrors Now, this is one of my favorite all
time episodes with the most appropriate titleever in Star Trek Night Terrors. This

(35:07):
this is one of those that pushesthe border with what's acceptable for this kind
of show that Star Trek is yeah, and moves into the all that's a
bit creepy because I think it justtoo creepy. The thing is, did
you know you know? Ring tothe Japanese version, I was surprised to
learn that it was a fifteen.It was rated fifteen on the VHS,

(35:30):
and then I actually studied the backof the DHS box quite closely and it
said raw rated fifteen. Feature israted twelve. Extra material is rated fifteen.
So it was actually rated fifteen becauseof a trailer that was on the
video, which is a hideous point. I was like, why would you
limit your market by actually putting atrailer on the fucking film Anyway, The

(35:52):
point being is that creepy stuff getsthrough the net with sensors, and there's
not really that much gore in this. You don't need gore. It's just
creepy ideas. But creepy ideas getthrough it just as long as there isn't
any blood and guts. Yeah,you throw through, I think without ruining

(36:15):
anything. You just wait for theshot when Doctor Crush is on her own
in the cargo bay. Yeah,with all the body bags. I have
chills just thinking about that, isn'tit. Nothing happens really well, that's
the whole thing. When they goon to the actual ship and it's a
Federation ship and the whole crew isdead apart from one basisoid and all of
the crew have been have been killedby other members of the crew they slowly

(36:37):
discover or have killed themselves. Andand then you see they're really creepy where
you see the captain's logs and Picardstarts going through the captain's logs and she's
like really jittery and paranoid and andlike it's going on about the first officer
creating a mutiny against her. Andwhen they're wandering around the bridge and it's
like this is gores by a fezera close range on a high setting and

(36:59):
the guy's face is melted and thecaptain has been stabbed in the heart by
something in the captain's chair. It'sreally quite distress you. You're like,
well, the fucks haven't there.And another brilliant idea of people just going
nuts because they didn't have enough,because they didn't dream, they don't have
RM sleep. I don't know howfeasible that actually is. It's true if

(37:19):
you don't have if I mean,if you if you stay up for more
than yeah, forty eight hours,you start going insane. You're not safe
to drive after no, no,no, you know, it's you know,
coolent to having quite a bit todrink. So I don't know how
much. I don't know how feasibleis the paranoia or how I think the
hallucinations are probably right because you've you'vestayed up that late and seen spiders in

(37:42):
the corner of the room, haven'tyou. I mean, yeah, you
know, it's always spiders in thecorner of the room. But I mean,
I think the hallucinations that they have, like the bit with a lift
crushes them and stuff like that,that's a bit far fetched, but who
cares. It's good. The onlyproblem with this episode is Deanna Troy,
where are you? Who are you? Floating? In a green thing?
That is actually quite poortant in termsof special effects but fine for the time

(38:07):
doesn't stand up so while now.But hey, we can't get over that
sort of thing. So that wasgood. Another good one identity crisis.
A colleague begins to mutate into anotherspecies and Jordy fears for his own safety.
Jordy slowly turns into an alien.This is also a really good one.
A really creepy scene as well,where he's in the holidayck and he's

(38:27):
got the footage from the guy makingdoing a camera log and he takes I'm
getting chills just thinking about it,and he takes away all of the people
and all of their shadows, andthere's one shadow left on the walls,
like figure it for human configuration,and give me what size of that person
is. And he brings up thelizard like shape where he should be standing,

(38:49):
and it's really creepy. Falls throughin that. An invisible object can't
cast a shadow. But other thanthat, it's perfectly fine. What depends,
No, it doesn't. If it'svisible, you can see through it.
The light isn't blocked by it,so it's not going to cast a
shadow. Doesn't cast a shadow.Yeah, that's true. It is like
being blocked by something, but onlyif it's projecting. If it's not projecting,

(39:15):
if it was actually an object thatwas just projecting an image on the
other side, and surely would stillcreate a shadow because it would still be
an object. Possibly, But theseare just invisible things, right, it
depends. We never really learned themechanism of their invisibility, whether they're actually
invisible or no, they are,that's why they kind of I think you

(39:36):
still would get a shadow. No, yeah, now the ninth degree,
Okay, your dog's in this one, struck by an alien theme nervous crew
member Reginald Barkley rapidly develops supernatural intelligence. This one fucking brilliant as well.
This one was a good one.I'm just going all right, you've got
my next week sorted out for me. Season four of Next again, it

(40:00):
was clearly a very strong season.I was just getting back into DS nine.
Season four of Next Gen is avery good one. In fact,
I think, really, I think, even though I do have a fun
place for step Space nine season three, this is probably the best season.
But I still I still stand byseason three and next year. Yeah,
so this is another good one.Aliens ripped the ship to the other side

(40:20):
of the galaxy, and Rage becomessuper duper smart and creates a massive machine
that points lasers at the top ofhis head and he controls the ship with
his mind. Worth watching for DwhiteScholtz. Yeah, is howling Mad Barkley.
Also the guinea pig doodle. Theguinea pig doodle. There's a guinea
pig doodle in the shape of analien probe. You watch it again.

(40:43):
A guinea pig doodle. I'm tellingyou it's either a piece of guinea pig
pool. Yeah, guinea pig shitor rabbit shit, the specifically guinea pig
shit. The probe looks like aguinea pig shit. I will look for
this when I get home, doit. I'm telling you the probe of
Guinea. Yes, that sounds likea small village in Wales, Guinea pigpool.

(41:08):
Cupid a very silly episode that hasno bearing really on Star Trekking anyway,
shape or farm, but it hasworth saying I am not a merry
man. It also has picards sayingI have a secret for you. I'm
not from Nottingham brilliant, he's nutsfrom Huddersfield. No, of course,
not what we all says from theLavarre Valley in France in the big of

(41:30):
an English accident. So fuck,I don't know what the hell's going on.
Yeah, also as a yeah,I am not a merry man,
and breaking Jordie's anvil and sorry it'sa loot, I believe loot cursh is
it? Sorry that's a line fromAnimal House, but it's done better in
this Yeah. Michael Dawn's comic timingin this episode is priceless, well,

(41:55):
isn't it? As Gates McFadden actuallypoints out in an interview apparently Gates McFadden
and Marna Marina Certus are the onlytwo cast members include not including Patrick Stewart,
who actually trained in fencing and swordfighting, and all they get to
do is wander around breaking pots overpeople's heads. The writing in this episode

(42:19):
is atrocious for Beverly, Indiana.Yeah, but I think it's deliberately it's
not their story. It's meant tobe there. You know. He has
a supporting cast, but enough,it's it's a good one, but it's
it's a Q and Picard and Vash, very silly and all that, all
the cast of Robin Hood and yeah, watch Patrick Stewart in tights. It's

(42:42):
good for a laugh. Yeah,yeah, but mainly wharf. Yeah,
also in tights, all of themtight tights and there are many in tights.
And for a change, big brightcolored costumes. Yeah that never happened.
Never happens and start okay the drumhead. Oh this is a good episode.
Oh, I love this episode.This is so contemporary with the current

(43:06):
problems of erosion of civil liberties andhow because this Juan Crewman's paternal grandfather is
a Romulan and he claims it's aVulcan and his narts he's actually a Romulan,
and then he becomes suspicious because he'sbecause he's part Romulan, and it
just mirrors what is going on soclearly with Eastern Middle Eastern descent. It's

(43:32):
just it's really good and it's sorelevant now, as with that Deep Space
nine episode about teaching kids about theprophets and the scientific approach and blasphemy and
the evolution versus this creationism. Thisis Star Trek at its best. It
most certainly is this is what it'sfor. This is what it's for.

(43:52):
And it also has one of thebest Picard speeches at the end on the
trial when he sat there and hestarts talking about rights, and god damn
it, this is fucking good,you know. I mean, as much
as I love the action episodes andI love the the big something weird is
happening, I also love the thehuman side of it where humans start fucking

(44:15):
up, and this is a goodhumans fuck up episode. That's this is
hitting the front runner for me halfa life. So we go slightly downhill
here a renowned scientist reaches the agewhere he must commit ritual suicide and the
wax Argefroy wanders around going, oh, don't this is just that bloody woman

(44:37):
getting into the program again. Thatwoman, that bloody woman. Well,
she does have a right, butdoes she does really have a right?
She's a bid of yeah, butdoes that give you a right to be
in it? I think as faras any one, if everyone who's ever
written a program have a right tobe in the show, I think I

(44:57):
think you can give her it.It was only one episode out of every
twenty six, and the computer thatmuch. Yeah, she was actually in
every episode. She'll have been paidsomething for every episode pretty much, and
in fact, probably most of thesub really, isn't it. It was
pretty sort of like a nice cashcow. There wasn't it In the back.
I'll produce the show as long asmy wife plays the computer who features

(45:21):
in every episode. Exactly nice,everyone says, one nice guy Jeane was.
But it was a bit of abit of a shifty businessman. If
you asked me, what the hellget your wife a role? Yeah,
I did the same nepotisms alive andwell in every industry I know it is.
Personally, I think it's atrocious tomake media just to put your partner
in it, of course, butnever be guilty of that. No,

(45:42):
it's disgusting. I don't. Thisepisode is the one that I hadn't seen,
you know, for a long time. I had the Irish people,
you had this one. Yeah,we both did pretty badly. I was
lucky to miss it. Not thatI'm saying anything bad about the Irish.
I just mean that episode sucked.Yeah, you were lucky to have mistress.
And were you disappointed when you finallygot around? I was disappointed in

(46:06):
as much as it was a badepisode, but not disappointed in the fact
that it was exactly what I expectedit to be. Right, you just
read that synopsis and you know whatthe next forty four and a half minutes
are about. Yeah, now it'snot interesting. Crusher falls in love with
a parasite, which is transferred toan unexpected new host body. That's a

(46:29):
pretty deceptive title. Is this thisScottish man one? This is the early
trill when the chill didn't look likethe till that we know later on,
probably the reason the guy didn't getthe job. It's the chill again,
but the trill has a different Yeah, and in fact, the makeup for
the trill later on is the makeupused for the aliens in Half Life.

(46:52):
I'm remembering that correctly with the spotsdown the neck, and it also features
Michelle Forbes shotting along as as analien in that episode before her appearance has
Sense and Row later on. Allright, so clearly they saw that,
they saw the trill. So I'mwhat I think it happened in my head
anyway, is that they got toDeep Space nine and then they said to

(47:13):
Michael Westmore or whatever the makeup guy'sname is. Was it Westmore? He
was a technical guy maybe I can'tremember, but the main makeup guy who
did all the all of that greatwork and everything, and they said,
oh, oh yeah, we wantthe Dax to look like that alien that's
from that episode in season four andthat which episode, oh Half Alive.

(47:34):
And then they got it wrong becauseit's the next episode, but they actually
wanted and so they made Dax looklikely all right, that's my theory.
It could be complete bullshit. Maybethis is the one where they were going
to push the whole girl on girlaction. Yeah, and then checking out
the last minute. And I'm gladthey saved it for when they did.
I'm not because it would have madeStar Trek far more legendary if they'd actually

(47:58):
gone through with it at that time, and if they'd had some balls about
that. I mean, like yousay, they tackled every other issue apart
from sexuality, which was unstar trek. It was very unstar trek, wasn't
it. Yeah to shy away fromthat, see, but yeah, I

(48:21):
was because they get some chip aboutit, and they got some chip about
it, I'd like them to.I mean, there's there's things like what
was it Lieutenant Hawk in First Contact? Supposed to be gay and stuff like
that, and and that's all ifyou read the book. I read the
book, and there might be outtakes. Yeah, maybe there's something in the
subplot or whatever else, but youknow, I mean, I don't know
what the outtakes would be. Thengive you the gay point and cross him.

(48:43):
Just in a scene, Riker havinga snug, and Riker turns out
to be by and he really isn'tfussy. He's dancing around in his room
too. I will survive by gloryagain. And that's what happened. I
could see Riker being bisexual. Rikersnot so much bisexual for everyone. Yeah,
not fussy. It's not even that. You just think he's for everyone's

(49:07):
purpose. He's a man's man anda woman's man to just give pleasure,
give pleasure to everyone in any waywhich is possible. Yeah, if that
means having sex with another man,that's what he has to do. A
man, a woman, or acreature with neither. See, I would
have had no problem with that.I would have had no problem with a
bisexual riker. No, no,no, but it would have been Again,

(49:30):
it's a time slot issue. HadStar Trek being a sort of nine
ten o'clock sort of event, thenwe probably wouldn't tell them. They're still
providish about it now, but youknow what, this is precisely what they
tried to do in Torchwood, andlook how that turned out. Yeah,
but Torchwood was girl on girl action. Now, the thing is, if
you do guy on guy action,your ass house, you do girl on

(49:52):
girl actually if you're poor. Yeah, so that's how you get around it.
If you wanted to do a gayrelationship and in a team B show
and be taken seriously, you doguy on guy. If you want to
do it and just look like you'retrying to get the ratings through girl on
girl action, then you do girlon girl action fair enough. Yeah,
I never thought of that before,but you're absolutely right. That's how it

(50:14):
works anyway. So Mind's eye,the Mind's eye, the man Curian candidate
in Star Trek. This is wickedepisode and preceeds what we would later see
in the season finale with the firstappearance of Seila in the shadows completely shade
and then see her face and oh, who's that mysterious woman who sounds exactly

(50:37):
like tashi R? Who is thatwoman who sounds exactly like tashi Ya.
We can't hear her face, butsounds a lot like tashi R. Is
it possibly tashi R? Someone relatedto some weird way. Yeah, didn't
give it away, but it's agood episode anyway, with the Romulin plot

(50:57):
to kill her, to use aguy and staff to set a war about
between Bomulus and Federation and yeada YadAYadA, and there's the cling on traitors
and everything, and I will theSeeker, isn't it? No? My
thinking of generations when they get Jodythrough his visor as well, Yeah,
that's generations. This is such agood damn season of Star Trek. It

(51:22):
is now we're going through them atthe end. No, not yet.
Mind's Eye is. Yeah, Mind'sEye is one of the better ones as
well, and it does have likeyou say, Jody doing a quiz about
his own job at the beginning inthe shuttle Craft, which is quite funny.
I love that shot when when he'sjust leaning back in his chair and
suddenly there's a Romulan war bird outthe window. So it's just name all

(51:43):
of these elements. It's like,oh, that's easy, and the computer
says okay in alphabetic order. Fuckw oh fuck, I didn't see that
coming. And it's like, takesit really seriously. It's just a game
of a computer for God's sake.Yeah, that was it. That was
the sad moment when you realize thatcomputer games have changed from Grand Theft Auto
three to general knowledge about your dailylife. And then you think, I

(52:05):
don't want to see the twenty fourthcentury anymore. Yeah, okay. In
Theory, which is directed by PatrickStewart, Oh really really? Patrick Stewart's
first ever directing television. What didhe direct? What is it about?
The data falls in love with awoman who plays violin. Yeah, and

(52:28):
he doesn't actually fall in love becausehe's incapable of it. But he replicates
it, and she falls in lovewith him, and there's there's, there's
things go on, and the endshe dumps him and he learns about love
and it should do. It's important. Though it's a good episode. I'm
just mocking the story, but it'sactually quite a good episode and it's quite
hard warming, and I'm welling upwhile I'm talking about it right now.

(52:52):
Redemption Part one, which is thebetter part of the Redemption two parts,
which we will come to do atanother time because it's in season five and
it's guff. But Redemption Part twowas very good. And if you hadn't
spotted that it was Denise Crosby's voiceon the episode of Mine's Eye, then

(53:15):
it was a wonderful twist. Itwas an amazing twist when she walks out
of the shadows, blonde haired,Romulin and all with his point of years
and he just went, what thefuck? What the fuck? What?
How did that happen? And everyonethought about it for six months until the
next new season came out and noone got it, and then they did.

(53:36):
The next one was all right.I was never completely stunned by it
made sense and it was just soall right, Well, when they explained
it, it was like, oh, okay, okay, but the first
time you saw it, you justlike, what the fuck? What the
fuck? Good good twist though,and all the walk going off and the
whole crew lines the card off fromturbolift to the bridge and he's got his

(53:58):
cling on uniform. On good episode. Let's be right here, man.
Yeah, it's a good one.It's yeah. Redemption Part one isn't bad.
It's no best of both Worlds partone. But so another year in
Star Trek the Next Generation wrapped upin forty five minutes? What do we
reckon? Rich I'm going to beoutrageous again, just like when we name
the cast of Voyager is the worst? The worst episode ever, the worst

(54:22):
cast character ever. Yeah, mybest episode of Star Trek the Next Generation
Season four is Star Trek the NextGeneration Season four. That's cheating. It's
not they're all fucking awesome. That'scheating. You have no excuse for not

(54:43):
watching all of them. You don't. But that's cheating, Richard. You
can't do that. I was onlyplanning on doing it with season four.
All right, it won't do itagain. But what happens when we come
around to the commentary and then youjust decide, oh, well we'll do
my one. Then all right,okay, you pick one dryhead drumheads.

(55:05):
So because I've got balls, Ican pick an episode that they're also good,
though how many we read out andwe've got oh this one and that
happens and that's true, and it'sso a close second as Night Terrors.
Oh yeah, night Terrors. I'mgoing to go with you on night Terrors.
And yeah, they're the best episodes. But in all serious you can't
get these individuals anymore. You've gotto buy season four. Don't if you've

(55:28):
got season four, don't be pickingepisodes. Put the first one on and
sit there until the last one,because they're all good apart from that bloody
accent and Troy one. Skip thatone or watch it another day. But
they say that lot that we wentthrough, there was only three episodes that
we kind of went The Devil oneand Suddenly Human. Yeah, and to

(55:52):
be honest, Suddenly Human and theDevil one and even that lax and a
Troy one aren't that bad. It'sgot the guy from mashing it exactly.
They're not that awful. They're justthey're just average episodes really, In fact,
they're only awful in comparison to everythingelse in that season. It's an
incredible season of Star Trek. Itcertainly is, and I'm now now that
I've read through it, and Iknow, yeah, it's only because I

(56:14):
have a fond place for it inmy childhood. That season three tops my
list. But that's probably technically thebetter season. I think it probably is.
Yeah. I mean, if you'reshopping for the episodes on iTunes,
get Night Terrors first. But nowif you're getting them on DVD, and
you probably should be, Yeah,if you want to, Yeah, if
you want to proper, if youwant to one of the sci fi weird

(56:36):
Shit Happens episode, Night Terrors isthe one. If you want a sociological,
philosophical issues based Star Trek episode,drumad you, you can't do much
better than that, exactly. That'sa really yeah. Anyway, let's wrap
this one up. Then it's beena long one again. Sorry my answer,

(56:57):
but there go. They're all good. They're all good. Tell me
when you grow a pair of tasticals, Okay, night Terrors, then thank
you, guarantee though, because youknow what I mean, all of them.
I know you do hollow hollow answeranyway. So there are other things
