:fellow hole explorers.
3
:Well, that's off on a good start.
4
:Khaki: And welcome aboard to Joy
of Trek, Uh, Hyperfixation podcast.
5
:Gosh.
6
:Yes.
7
:Exploring the captain's chairs and
Ensign's cerebellums of Star Trek,
8
:Kay: All of
9
:Khaki: I'm Khaki.
10
:Kay: I'm Kaye.
11
:And perfecting my family's
recipe in the galley.
12
:is our chief engineer,
13
:Greg.
14
:Khaki: I wonder what that is.
15
:Together, we're on a mission through
the black holes of Star Trek to find
16
:the parametric scans of Captain Archer's
butt and the excellence in every episode.
17
:Kay: Even the Plumique, Bruce.
18
:Khaki: Because every episode
must be someone's favorite,
19
:and it might as well be us.
20
:Kay: So activate your read
alerts and join us as we fly into
21
:Khaki: The joy
22
:Kay: of
23
:Khaki: of Trek.
24
:Well done, Greg.
25
:Hello.
26
:Uh, this script was was written
for us by our chief engineer.
27
:Fellow whole explorers.
28
:Kay: I'm impressed.
29
:Yes.
30
:No.
31
:Absolutely.
32
:So guess which episode we're doing?
33
:Wrong.
34
:It's the other one.
35
:Uh, no.
36
:It's, um, Enterprise season
two episode nine, Singularity.
37
:Khaki: Oh, yes.
38
:and this was recommended to us by,
Nazzie, at a time when, I hadn't
39
:really fully, like, Figured out,
like, the the the sort of pattern of
40
:recommendations that we're looking for,
the sort of personal recommendations.
41
:Nassy was previously a fan of our
podcast where, uh, listeners, send
42
:in their, uh, humorous synopsis.
43
:Kay: Oh, yes.
44
:Khaki: what we have today.
45
:Thank you to Nazzie for the synopsis.
46
:we've encountered A spatial
anomaly, and everyone except
47
:to Paul is going a little nuts.
48
:Tripp's obsessed with a chair.
49
:Hoshi's going crazy in the kitchen.
50
:Phlox is definitely about to commit
medical malpractice, and Malcolm
51
:accidentally infants the next two
hundred years of Starfleet security.
52
:Do you have any a warp
course that you wanna
53
:Kay: jump?
54
:Oh, Do I have any I don't
really think there are any.
55
:Let me see if I can I have to
say something, but I'm saving
56
:that For my deleted scene?
57
:You.
58
:Khaki: Oh, wow.
59
:You've been taking notes.
60
:Well done.
61
:Kay: Uh, let's see.
62
:No.
63
:No.
64
:I don't think I
65
:have any Wharfcore dumps.
66
:No.
67
:Khaki: Same here.
68
:I mean, at worst, I wanna say
something about, like, the CGI, which
69
:at the time was Really exciting.
70
:Computer generated, like exterior
ships now look dated, but I feel like
71
:they're starting to look dated in
a way that's almost, I don't know.
72
:Sort of nostalgic.
73
:Kay: mean, the the graphics are fine.
74
:It feels a little bit like
you're watching it on VHS.
75
:Khaki: Oh, wow.
76
:Kay: Well, Just a little bit low, res,
but it feels like the entire show is a bit
77
:Khaki: Oh, that's interesting.
78
:I mean, it was filmed in
79
:Kay: Yeah.
80
:Well, yeah, I noticed it's also
widescreen because I noticed that from
81
:the.
82
:Yeah.
83
:It just I don't know.
84
:I mean, The the outside graphics.
85
:Oh, well, the I mean, the asteroid field.
86
:Yeah.
87
:Yeah.
88
:That felt a little bit clunky.
89
:But
90
:Khaki: Had a video but, of course,
like, for the time, these were amazing
91
:effects on, like, the use of a computer
generated imagery a fantastic innovation.
92
:But, yeah, it's I mean,
things have moved on.
93
:We can see how gorgeous
discovery and The brain cell?
94
:The brain cell?
95
:The brain cell?
96
:The brain cell?
97
:The brain cell?
98
:The brain's strange new worlds
are now, and what a what a
99
:feast of the eyes they are.
100
:So, yeah, it it it almost kind of
feels dated in a way that special
101
:effects like, the next generation
felt dated when Enterprise was airing.
102
:Kay: Right.
103
:Khaki: Also, I noticed every episode
of Enterprise that we've watched, and,
104
:admittedly, this is only two, Yeah.
105
:Has been about people losing their minds
and not, like, at being their best self.
106
:Previously, it was the
captain In, chief, remind me.
107
:What was the episode called again?
108
:That would be night in sick bay.
109
:Khaki: Yeah.
110
:Thanks.
111
:Who who Just wasn't himself.
112
:He was having a very bad, no good day.
113
:And now everybody's having
a really weird hyperfixation
114
:Kay: day Yes.
115
:Also referred to as finals
time at Starfleet academy.
116
:Khaki: Oh, wow.
117
:Okay.
118
:There's some interesting head
canon that we're gonna dive into.
119
:Shall we on with the
120
:Kay: Thanks.
121
:Khaki: Did you say hit it on?
122
:Yes.
123
:I like you.
124
:It took me a second to realize that,
oh, I do that fairly often as well where
125
:I just I have an emotion that I wanna
convey, and it's usually very supportive.
126
:And then I trust my brain
to just say some words.
127
:Hey.
128
:You
129
:Kay: Well, it was I I think it
just like with the correlation
130
:between hit it and, uh,
131
:Khaki: get it
132
:Kay: get it home or something like that.
133
:I don't know.
134
:Um, we're opening
135
:with a Gorgeous shot of the, uh, trainery
system that is, uh, featuring in this
136
:episode, and the bridge is in tatters,
And I think it's probably amusing
137
:because my first note is chair's gone.
138
:Khaki: Oh, yes.
139
:It's
140
:Kay: the First thing that
jumped out of me, uh,
141
:Khaki: Very good.
142
:Yeah.
143
:Kay: was missing.
144
:Khaki: there are people sort of strewn
about, and we have to pull monologuing,
145
:Science Officer's log, August 14, 2152.
146
:Khaki: uh, that she's transmitted
147
:Kay: she's yeah.
148
:She's, uh, she's not monologuing.
149
:She's logging.
150
:Khaki: Oh, well, she's monologuing.
151
:Kay: Uh,
152
:Khaki: No.
153
:The
154
:Kay: stress called nearest Vulcan
ship is more than nine days away,
155
:and by the time the they arrive, they
might only find debris even if that.
156
:Even if Enterprise makes it past the
157
:black hole without being destroyed...
158
:it seems likely the crew won't survive.
159
:Khaki: Bam.
160
:Kay: And yeah.
161
:Khaki: seconds, and
we're into the credits.
162
:The
163
:credits which, chief, You
don't need to play them.
164
:I still don't enjoy them.
165
:It's okay for people not to like things.
166
:I'm not gonna harp about it.
167
:I'm not gonna be mean.
168
:No.
169
:But last time, he sort of teased
me with because in the edit, like,
170
:he kept dropping it in as if I'm
some sort of evil evil Scrooge
171
:Kay: like
172
:Khaki: I'm not.
173
:I just I just like a lot of
things, and then, you know
174
:Kay: and the credits are not one of
175
:them.
176
:That's fine.
177
:Um, Yes.
178
:You didn't press the, uh, warp
credits button, so that's Fair.
179
:Khaki: Yeah.
180
:Yeah.
181
:Actually, yeah.
182
:I wanted to, like, really watch
the visuals and sort of tune
183
:out the because the the the the
opening montage is fantastic.
184
:all these, you know, sea ships and,
space exploration vessels and eventually
185
:Kay: Most most of them
bearing the name enterprise.
186
:Yeah.
187
:Khaki: Various spellings, but also like
a little Mars rover and a shuttle.
188
:Kay: was that that was the first one.
189
:The that the first
really successful one, I
190
:Khaki: It was it.
191
:It was a little cutie.
192
:Hey, chief engineer, Greg here.
193
:It's going to save you guys
both a little bit of time here.
194
:You're thinking of Sojourner.
195
:That's the one that you're thinking of.
196
:That's the one that they
show in the credits here.
197
:Kay: Um,
198
:Khaki: And you noticed
I was very proud of you.
199
:You noticed the phoenix in the
200
:Kay: Oh, right.
201
:Yes.
202
:Khaki: Uh, is that from Cochrane's
first warp capable ship?
203
:noticed the design for, like I think
that's the Zinger was, was designed
204
:for, like, a a spaceplane or a a a
wide bodied shuttle, and then finally,
205
:of course, only see it from behind.
206
:It has All of these blue
exhausts between the tortoise
207
:Kay: Oh, right.
208
:Khaki: Yeah.
209
:The Enterprise just has
210
:Kay: Oh, yeah.
211
:You're right.
212
:Exhaust.
213
:Yeah.
214
:Khaki: whatever that ship is, I know
that there was a lot of speculation about
215
:it.
216
:Kay: Oh, it's not the Vulcan
ship from, uh, the same,
217
:Khaki: Vulcans have a very
different design philosophy.
218
:Kay: True.
219
:Khaki: they use let me see if
I'm getting the term right.
220
:Oh, oh, oh.
221
:Uh, we're getting into
cocky's little nerdy
222
:Kay: corner.
223
:Yeah.
224
:Khaki: annular warp coils.
225
:So instead of warping the cells,
like two big honking, chunks on
226
:either side, they have these ovals,
227
:Kay: Oh, right.
228
:Khaki: Um, something that we later
see or earlier see in the Romulan,
229
:uh, the Deradex class cruisers.
230
:Well, also these these ovals.
231
:And I read oh, chief, please help
me out if you know where the the
232
:the source is at the end of this.
233
:I read this awesome sort of head canon
explanation or perhaps even, sort
234
:of a a behind the scenes, like,
philosophizing by the designers.
235
:Mhmm.
236
:These are, two radically different
ways to achieve a warp field.
237
:The Vulcan way is much more efficient.
238
:It's much better, but it requires
you to plot a course, plan your
239
:whole mission, and then you
have to complete that journey.
240
:You can change course.
241
:You can drop out beforehand
242
:Kay: Oh, that's
243
:Khaki: without, like, consequences
damaging your ship, but, uh,
244
:it's much more fuel efficient.
245
:It's much more in a lot of ways.
246
:These two big honking, warping
cells need a lot more maintenance,
247
:but you can stop and start and you
can, uh, explore along the way.
248
:And it really comes down to
a cultural difference because
249
:for for human explorers, like,
the ability to change your
250
:Kay: Right.
251
:Let's go here now.
252
:Khaki: Yeah.
253
:Exactly.
254
:Uh, it's it's a huge value
255
:Kay: Whereas developments
are more like, yeah.
256
:We're just gonna go where
we needed to go anyway.
257
:Khaki: They don't see the problem.
258
:We should have had the right plan to begin
259
:Kay: with.
260
:Yeah.
261
:Khaki: So, of course,
we're going to complete it.
262
:Kay: Uh,
263
:T'Pol is, telling on that this
like, this strange sickness has
264
:stricken the crow.
265
:And it's actually quite interesting
to say how she's completely not
266
:mentioned anything of that, which
we're going of course, going to
267
:learn throughout the episode, which
is essentially one big flashback.
268
:Khaki: Yes.
269
:acTually, maybe that's the warp core.
270
:Sound Pad: I say we eject the war court.
271
:Khaki: She's really burying the lead.
272
:Because in the course of recording
this, log where she's telling this story
273
:we find out that she's actually got a
plan that's more and more urgent Mhmm.
274
:Where by the end okay.
275
:And now it's time to execute my plan.
276
:The thing that she already knew that she
had to do that was very time sensitive
277
:Kay: Yes.
278
:Khaki: That she's just been
kind of ignoring while she's
279
:Kay: Well, maybe.
280
:it's
281
:Khaki: Recording
282
:Kay: know, she she's Just
as in what you just said.
283
:She's made the plan.
284
:She's gone like we've set it up.
285
:I've I've plotted the course.
286
:Um She
287
:Khaki: hasn't.
288
:She has a thing that she needs to do.
289
:She needs to go talk to captain.
290
:Kay: Well, that term She does.
291
:actually, this is what I kinda
disagree with, uh, even to Paul.
292
:Um,
293
:she says, like, oh, we Vulcans.
294
:We are unaffected.
295
:I think she's not.
296
:I think she is just as
affected as the rest.
297
:It's
298
:Khaki: Oh, you think this
log is her obsession?
299
:Kay: This is just her obsession.
300
:Khaki: It's just more spread out.
301
:She's just, like, not having
302
:Kay: just, like not having the
physiological effects of it.
303
:But I think I think she is just
because she I mean, remember,
304
:later on, she's like, oh, yeah.
305
:I haven't been on the bridge in
hours and, like, I would like sensor
306
:suite installed in my, uh, in my
307
:Khaki: You're right.
308
:She
309
:Kay: She is just as affected as
everybody else because she wants to,
310
:like, get out of the way and just do
her thing And work her do her Science.
311
:Yeah.
312
:That's her fixation.
313
:Khaki: Oh, wow.
314
:It's a milder case,
315
:Kay: Yes.
316
:Oh, yeah.
317
:Like I said, she doesn't she's not as
physiologically, affected as everybody
318
:else is because they end up passing out.
319
:Khaki: this episode has a really
interesting structure because it starts
320
:off with actually, Like, all these little
scenes of, sort of trivial matters Yeah.
321
:that there's suddenly
time for because, Okay.
322
:They arrive near a black hole where,
Vulcans have studied two thousands
323
:of them, but never in a trinary
324
:Kay: system.
325
:Yep.
326
:Khaki: And if we approach it carefully
enough on impulse, which will take
327
:about two days, we can get some valuable
328
:Kay: Yep.
329
:Khaki: you know, don't know exactly
why Tripp Tucker is there to
330
:help the captain make a decision.
331
:I don't know why that is.
332
:Kay: the chief engineer, He's just,
Well, wasn't he called to the bridge for,
333
:uh, uh,
334
:I
335
:Khaki: No.
336
:He's he's already just there.
337
:Yeah.
338
:they decide, okay.
339
:Well, take this time.
340
:Archer probably doesn't mind,
like, getting a scientific
341
:trump over Vulcan Science
342
:Kay: Oh, absolutely not.
343
:Khaki: it means they've got
two days of Relative downtime
344
:just cruising on impulse.
345
:And, he says to to Tripp, hey.
346
:if you've got some free time,
347
:I'd love it if you'd look at my chair.
348
:If you've got some free time,
349
:I'd love it if you'd look at my chair.
350
:- Sir?
351
:- The Captain's chair.
352
:Khaki: which very quickly turns into
prioritize my chair over everything else
353
:because it well, I was gonna dump a warp
core or vent some plasma or whatever.
354
:The chair first,
355
:Kay: please.
356
:Yeah.
357
:Because, uh, it it's really bothering him.
358
:He can't sit right in it,
and he is hoping to get that
359
:Khaki: Yeah.
360
:Because he doesn't spend a lot
of time in the chair because he
361
:feels like he's gonna slip out.
362
:Kay: Yeah.
363
:I'm actually wondering if that
was actually a thing that, Scott
364
:Bakula had while he was on set, you
know, that the set chair was this,
365
:Khaki: Oh.
366
:Oh, chief.
367
:Is that true?
368
:I regret to say that as far as
I was able to tell, I couldn't
369
:find anything about that.
370
:Being the reason why this change was made.
371
:Kay: I mean, I noticed
it especially at the end.
372
:he's still sitting
incorrectly in the chair.
373
:The stairs There's there's
still a downward angle to his,
374
:Khaki: Oh, his thighs
375
:Kay: to his thighs.
376
:Yeah.
377
:Khaki: His his knees are lower than
378
:Kay: Right.
379
:So the the stairs The
chair is still too high.
380
:Khaki: I like that they're sort
of leaning over the railing,
381
:sort of looking at that chair.
382
:It's such a cool frame, the two of
them, We're having this conversation.
383
:and meanwhile, Archer's obsession
is he's been asked to write the
384
:preface To a biography about
385
:Kay: To his father.
386
:Who seems to be a great scientist
as well, Warp technology scientist,
387
:I suppose, because he was in
the Montana, Uh, warp research
388
:Khaki: Yes.
389
:He was a a leading scientist
or an or or engineer,
390
:in the warp five program, to build Earth's
first warp five capable engine, was also,
391
:like, Jonathan Archer's inspiration to
go into space and why he was so keen and
392
:driven get the enterprise, uh, and to
get this mission of exploration going,
393
:Uh, because that's his father's engine.
394
:No.
395
:Kay: it?
396
:No.
397
:Chef didn't report for duty
398
:this morning.
399
:He's ill.
400
:- Ls it serious?
401
:- Dr Phlox said it's a simple virus.
402
:He should be fine after a few days' rest.
403
:Ensign
404
:Kay: but Hoshi is willing to take
405
:over The mess.
406
:Khaki: Archer is very briefly concerned.
407
:Is it serious?
408
:No.
409
:No.
410
:A simple virus.
411
:You're in a completely enclosed
412
:Kay: Yeah.
413
:and
414
:Khaki: the person who prepares
everyone's Food has contracted the virus.
415
:Shouldn't you be handing out, like,
inoculations, doing some contact tracing?
416
:Kay: But he instead, he just asked her
for advice on how to go about writing
417
:the preface to, uh, his dad's biography?
418
:Khaki: Because how do you condense
a whole life into, one single page?
419
:And she gets really, really good advice.
420
:Perhaps by focusing on one incident...
421
:a single event that exemplifies
422
:your relationship with your father...
423
:you'll be able to
424
:condense your thoughts.
425
:Khaki: considers that a very
logical approach, and he asks If
426
:she'd be willing it afterwards.
427
:Kay: And then in fact, she tries to
rope her into writing it for him,
428
:which she's like, oh, I don't think
429
:Khaki: For reading, she
says, I'd be happy to Right.
430
:Which she doesn't comment on.

:As a as a sous chef.
579
:And a lot of that comes
out of the replicator.
580
:Oh, maybe, actually
581
:Kay: Oh, replicate they they
have they have replicators on
582
:Khaki: got a protein resequencer.
583
:Kay: Right.
584
:Khaki: So maybe, actually, what we're
dealing with is just the same, nutrient
585
:slurry, except you get a little sort of
scent cup that you can hold under your
586
:Kay: Ew.
587
:Khaki: So you could
588
:Kay: Ew.
589
:I say ew.

:No.
596
:That's
597
:Khaki: I forget who it was.
598
:I might be quoting some comedian.
599
:I might be quoting a friend from college
who was oh, they they sort of specialized
600
:in meals that involve, like, melted cheese
601
:Yeah.
602
:such as melted cheese surprise, Which
is you get something that's just
603
:absolutely slathered in melted cheese, and
604
:Kay: have to figure out what it is.
605
:And
606
:Khaki: it, and you sort of
wonder, yeah, what is it?
607
:You have to sort of guess,
and then you can win a little
608
:prize, which is more cheese.
609
:And the other one was cheese fantasy.
610
:When you eat something like an apple
or something, and you just Imagine
611
:it's covered in melted cheese.
612
:Kay: Wow.
613
:Khaki: It might, in fact, be me.
614
:It's one of those memories I don't I don't
I don't know how to associate it with it.
615
:But, no, Hoshi has eliminated
all this, and she's going
616
:to make Odeng from scratch.
617
:Kay: Oh, dang.
618
:It sounds the the name
sounds unless she's Japanese.
619
:Right?
620
:Khaki: Yes.
621
:Kay: Oh, is she Korean, Japanese?
622
:I don't
623
:Khaki: No.
624
:She's Japanese.
625
:I I wonder if her full family
is Japanese or whether she's,
626
:you know, of, uh, of mixed
627
:Kay: mean, If you say it like that,
it sounds a bit like Indonesian.
628
:It's, uh, it sounds Indonesian.
629
:A
630
:Khaki: of words end in
631
:Kay: Yeah.
632
:Khaki: in
633
:Indonesian or I should
say, like, Javanese.
634
:I mean, I I guess the names of
those dishes are significantly older
635
:than the the national Indonesian
636
:Kay: magazine Right.
637
:Yes.
638
:Khaki: The brain cell?
639
:It was created in nineteen fifties
in response to independence
640
:on wanting to communicate.
641
:But, yes, so she just casually
delete, delete, delete, all that
642
:cool stuff and leave the spinach
to chef when he's better, I'm
643
:going to make a big pan of Odang.
644
:Kay: Yes.
645
:meanwhile, another ensign wanders
into sick bay, uh, with a headache.
646
:Khaki: Travis Mayweather.
647
:And at first, I thought that
Phlox, was also obsessing of
648
:having a culinary obsession
because he's Tipping some granules,
649
:Kay: He's just being he's just
he's just doing his pharmacy Work.
650
:He's just like yeah.
651
:grinding up Powders.
652
:He's got a little floss, and he he
seems a little bit irritated almost at
653
:being interrupted.
654
:Is there something I can do for you?
655
:I've got a little headache.
656
:Nothing serious.
657
:Khaki: Or can't you
just give me something?
658
:And he says very ethically it
would be improper for me to provide
659
:medication without examination first.
660
:Please sit down.
661
:Kay: and that starts off
that particular story.
662
:So, like
663
:Khaki: It's the scariest of all of them,
664
:Kay: them.
665
:Totally.
666
:Totally.
667
:Like, Flox is Terrifying.
668
:Khaki: Because he he starts off with
oh, you know, it it could be nothing.
669
:Because it's just muscular tension.
670
:On the other hand...
671
:Terellian plague starts out
672
:with a simple headache.
673
:Then all manner of nasty things
674
:begin to happen.
675
:Khaki: I love how he says nasty.
676
:Kay: thing.
677
:And then he goes like, okay.
678
:I guess I will be able to sit
here now and, uh, have you examine
679
:me for that a little bit first.
680
:It's been a few days, but
he really wants to get
681
:Like, the instant obsession is
to get back to his job as also.
682
:Khaki: do his job right?
683
:Because yeah.
684
:Yeah.
685
:I might disappoint the captain.
686
:He might demote me to Dexwab.
687
:I'm like a court martialed, executed even.
688
:Kay: Yes.
689
:He gets, uh, very much, uh, nervous about,
like, not being able to go to The bridge.
690
:Tripp is starting to take the chair apart.
691
:He's doing that with his
pneumatic screwdriver.
692
:Khaki: Yeah.
693
:What was this for?
694
:I don't know what it does.
695
:It sounds like a dental
696
:Kay: drill.
697
:Yeah.
698
:I mean, it looks like he he's he's
sitting there with the working at
699
:the glowy bit under the captain's
700
:Khaki: Oh, yeah.
701
:Uh,
702
:Kay: Uh, and no
703
:idea what he's doing, but he's I think
he's just sitting there, and I think
704
:what he's holding is just an air gun.
705
:He's Just like brushing
706
:but, like
707
:Khaki: the
708
:Kay: just like Blowing air out of
the cracks and under the chair.
709
:Khaki: And then we get to the final
obsession, which is a new status alert.
710
:Because the the captain arrives in
the armory, where immediately Reid,
711
:he stands up real straight and says,
oh, I would have come to you, sir,
712
:because he's uptight like that.
713
:He's very, very deferential to his, uh,
714
:Kay: captain.
715
:Yes.
716
:I've been reviewing our encounters
717
:with hostile species.
718
:The crew's response
719
:has been admirable.
720
:But I feel we can do better, sir.
721
:Khaki: what he wants is, like,
some to propose is some kind
722
:of ready state that's that's
723
:The brain cell?
724
:Already known.
725
:So instead of having to issue independent
orders, you know, secure the reactor,
726
:Kay: Polarized.
727
:Yeah.
728
:Polarized.
729
:Yeah.
730
:Khaki: There's just one alert condition.
731
:Kay: That will do Bring us everything
to this, uh reference point.
732
:Yes?
733
:Khaki: I thought that was just normal.
734
:I mean, I'm I grew up with
Star Trek where Red Alert
735
:Kay: Right.
736
:Khaki: which we're
obviously talking about.
737
:Kay: Yes.
738
:Khaki: It's such a normal thing.
739
:I thought that there was, like,
Maritime precedent to this.
740
:Kay: I think so.
741
:I mean, that's what you that's in
at least the impression you gave.
742
:Well I mean, there is because,
743
:Something a bit more comprehensive
744
:than battle stations.
745
:Khaki: Oh, yes.
746
:It's because that's too aggressive.
747
:Kay: Yeah.
748
:Because we're not a military ship.
749
:And really it's like, yeah.
750
:That's very obvious.
751
:He's a bit like.
752
:Khaki: Hey.
753
:Everybody's good at one
754
:Kay: thing, and
755
:Khaki: do you kind of want your
thing to be the most important
756
:thing?
757
:it is to you.
758
:But, like, in Battlestar
Galactica, they just had, like,
759
:condition one and condition two.
760
:Kay: Condition one throughout the fleet.
761
:Yes.
762
:Khaki: and action stations, which I really
763
:Kay: like.
764
:Yeah.
765
:I mean, it makes sense that you have
And, Like, later on, we get yellow
766
:alert and red alert, and those two
have two different, uh, sets of,
767
:sets of things that need to be doing.
768
:Khaki: Yes.
769
:So places where you need to be,
security settings that need to be on
770
:consoles, there's probably a whole,
Like, a whole semester about just
771
:what goes on in, uh, yellow alert
when you go to Starfleet Academy.
772
:You know this was with blue alert?
773
:Kay: No.
774
:Never heard of
775
:Khaki: I only see
776
:Kay: thing Situation?
777
:Khaki: Now you only see it twice.
778
:chief, what what what do we do
again when we do blue alert?
779
:No.
780
:We know, obviously.
781
:We're testing you.
782
:So Bluebird seems to be for different
things depending on the ship.
783
:Uh, it's largely for like
just exceptional situations.
784
:So environmental hazards, power
failure, docking separation,
785
:maneuvers, or Len protocols.
786
:Voyager used blue alert
for lending sequences.
787
:Such as in 30 sevens demons and
dragons teeth, and then the permittees
788
:class use it for their multi-vector
salt mode and message in a bottle.
789
:The defiant use it for their cloaking
device in the search part one.
790
:And then in TNG, when the environmental
systems failed Bleuler was called
791
:for in the episode, brothers.
792
:Khaki: Okay.
793
:Well done, chief.
794
:Good.
795
:Kay: That was well under one
minute and thirty seconds.
796
:Khaki: Yeah.
797
:Okay.
798
:I do have another I do have another warp
799
:Sound Pad: say we eject the
800
:Khaki: Yeah.
801
:Hold on.
802
:We're not there yet, but it's gonna
we're just skipping ahead a little bit.
803
:Like, at some point, um, Reed issues
like An unsanctioned battle drill.
804
:Yeah.
805
:And then he times everyone's, like,
time for reporting to the bridge.
806
:One minute and 49 seconds.
807
:Khaki: Why would the chief
engineer be required on the bridge?
808
:That's not where you're
supposed to re report.
809
:No.
810
:Kay: True.
811
:And he's I kinda wanna go
throw shields up, but Okay.
812
:No.
813
:No.
814
:No.
815
:No.
816
:No.
817
:No.
818
:Because I no.
819
:No.
820
:because I know That's
why I said, like okay.
821
:Because I want I only wanna push
it for a for a genuine situation.
822
:because you are you are You are.
823
:kinda right about it.
824
:It's I mean, probably, it's in
the protocol that he wrote, which
825
:the chief engineer also hasn't
read because he wanted to because
826
:he's been working on the chair.
827
:Khaki: And he just emailed
it, like, Super duper secure.
828
:Kay: Oh, yes.
829
:Khaki: So so secure that nobody can get
830
:Kay: into it, it's like one of those
people who call you up, and they're
831
:like, oh, have you read my email?
832
:Khaki: No.
833
:Yes.
834
:I didn't because that's
not how time works.
835
:But okay.
836
:Speaking of how time works, this is kind
of like, it it's it's kind of difficult
837
:to go through this episode beat by
838
:beat because each of these
plots, like, they escalate.
839
:So Kind of predictably.
840
:we see what's coming pretty early on.
841
:Because while I talked about how exciting
it was to get to see Um, you know, almost
842
:lower decks kind of day in the life stuff.
843
:We already see their, like,
hydrofixation and their, uh,
844
:annoyance with one another starting.
845
:And, Well, obviously, that's what's
gonna keep happening, especially
846
:if there's mysterious radiation.
847
:Kay: Yes.
848
:So, uh, at certain points there,
is, like, a first mention of
849
:symptoms, and I go like, okay.
850
:What I've got written down is Some
symptoms are everybody becomes
851
:even more of an overachiever.
852
:Khaki: Oh, yeah.
853
:Alright.
854
:Yeah.
855
:Kay: Uh, and then my second comment
on that was, being more themselves,
856
:actually, an exaggerated personality,
but that doesn't really work out.
857
:So that's not that a certain aspect
of their personality is magnified.
858
:It's more of a yeah.
859
:They They get a massive obsession
with whatever it was that they're
860
:doing at the point they got infected.
861
:Khaki: Yeah.
862
:It's almost like their I mean, their
their their brain is being affected,
863
:and I and I do recognize that.
864
:Like, I've had I've had, you know,
times in my life when my brain wasn't
865
:working the way that it ought to.
866
:And one of the the the ways that
manifested for me was avoidance behavior
867
:of tasks that I knew were very important.
868
:Well,
869
:Kay: me about it.
870
:Khaki: for a lot of people.
871
:Right?
872
:then you, like, find relief in small
tasks that you can control, that are
873
:usually busy work, but that you can
completely fill your mind with So there's
874
:no room to think about the things that
875
:Kay: and then and then You've
been busy and, like, you could
876
:have been productive but Yes.
877
:But that thing that you
were doing is still looming.
878
:Yeah.
879
:There Overhead, and
that hasn't been solved.
880
:And the US told me about it.
881
:That's, like my my number one issue
that I'm having right now in my life.
882
:Khaki: you know, very recognizable.
883
:And, unfortunately, like, are
methods to deal with that.
884
:In fact, a lot of people seem to be asking
for help, which is normally a very good
885
:Kay: Right.
886
:Khaki: for these hyperfixations
because like, the buddy system, Working
887
:together with someone is like, it
unlocks a lot of this emotional stress.
888
:So, uh, Archer asking for help from
Tepal, and encouraging Reid to, like,
889
:run this, uh, proposal of yours the other
890
:Kay: of yes.
891
:Khaki: get some feedback,
then we'll talk again.
892
:That's Excellent.
893
:Kay: Yes.
894
:Which he that's actually what he's doing.
895
:Because you know, in the mess hall, he's
sitting there talking to, uh, Tripp.
896
:Why don't you just call it
897
:"Security Protocol"?
898
:Well, that's not very dynamic.
899
:Do you think a cupholder's too much?
900
:- Khaki: is such a That's what people
with not a lot of experience in or, you
901
:know, artistic sense or whatever call
whatever they can't really describe.
902
:And it's fine.
903
:It's fine.
904
:It's the Captain's chair.
905
:It's just as important as your Reed Alert.
906
:"Reed Alert."
907
:That's not bad.
908
:Kay: has led in Reed's case to
kind of ignore his dinner to
909
:which Hoshi gets takes a bit of,
offense is not really the word, but
910
:That's where her obsession starts.
911
:this is
912
:Khaki: someone who just, You know, he's
not really hungry at the moment is what
913
:Kay: focusing on my work.
914
:Uh Let's just
915
:Khaki: I'll get you a fresh bowl.
916
:No.
917
:Hold on.
918
:Kay: anything wrong with it?
919
:No.
920
:It was lovely.
921
:And then he just kinda to blow her
off or just to give her something.
922
:It's like I thought it was
a little bit too salty.
923
:She's like, too salty.
924
:It's like, that's fine to me.
925
:Uh, and She Yeah.
926
:Yeah.
927
:Khaki: bowl, which is, you
know this is a great way to
928
:Spread those viruses, everyone.
929
:but, no, it tastes fine,
she says decisively.
930
:And he goes, well, it
must just be me then.
931
:Everybody else seems to be enjoying it,
which is a perfectly normal conversation.
932
:But yet, That
933
:Kay: No.
934
:That doesn't fly when you're When you're
having an uh, overfixation on something,
935
:then you go like something must be
wrong because not everybody likes it,
936
:Which is also a, you know, you can't
you can't please anybody everybody.
937
:Khaki: No.
938
:That's
939
:Kay: good Also a good thing to remember.
940
:is, like, why would you like to Try
to please people you don't like.
941
:You know?
942
:It's
943
:Khaki: Well, hold on.
944
:You're supposed to like your fellow
945
:Kay: good.
946
:No.
947
:True.
948
:But
949
:Khaki: not the same thing.
950
:But that's why Oh, I was about
to say that's why you have,
951
:like, salt and pepper on tables.
952
:Kay: Right.
953
:Khaki: I
954
:didn't see any of that when
I went to Rome a while back.
955
:Okay.
956
:It's Like, apparently, it's just
really not you you get what you
957
:Kay: get.
958
:Yeah.
959
:Khaki: Yeah.
960
:I didn't I didn't see a single,
like, salt shaker on a on any on
961
:Kay: Interesting.
962
:Khaki: And in other places, like, they've
got olive oil there so you can add for,
963
:Kay: Right.
964
:Yeah.
965
:Or
966
:chili flakes and, yeah, veneers.
967
:I've seen plenty.
968
:Was it that like?
969
:Is that like some weird thing that
about uh, salt, pepper, and other,
970
:and it's Like, little that they Found,
like, ancient, uh, or, like, several
971
:hundred year old condiment things, like,
little Trios, and it's like it's what's
972
:salt, pepper, and the other thing.
973
:Khaki: yeah.
974
:The other thing that everyone puts on
their food that we just don't write down.
975
:Kay: No.
976
:Because every everybody has that?
977
:So And we've just never mentioned it.
978
:Salt and pepperoni is also specifically
mentioned, but we know that they in use.
979
:But yeah.
980
:Yeah.
981
:And The other one.
982
:and nobody
983
:Khaki: Oh, woah.
984
:But well, okay.
985
:So did the container also have holes?
986
:Was it also a sprinkle sprinkling
987
:Kay: I don't remember
988
:Khaki: was it like a little
bottle with a oh, no.
989
:But, Kate, now we need to know.
990
:I need to know what
the the other thing is.
991
:It's
992
:Kay: Well, go see doctor Flock.
993
:You're starting to hope of
994
:hyperfixate.
995
:Khaki: I can have the hydrophyx.
996
:No.
997
:No.
998
:No.
999
:No.
:
00:31:28,340 --> 00:31:30,100
I can stop anytime I want.
:
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:32,865
I just really need to tell you
about the Roman dodecahedrons.
:
00:31:32,865 --> 00:31:33,365
Cohedrons?
:
00:31:33,870 --> 00:31:34,370
Kay: Yes.
:
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,120
Khaki: sort of bronze dodecahedron
things with holes in them and little
:
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,585
nubbly bits sticking out that are found
Over many parts of the Roman Empire
:
00:31:42,815 --> 00:31:44,995
Kay: Usually in the more
northerly colder regions.
:
00:31:45,305 --> 00:31:47,465
Khaki: In various forms, and
sometimes people had multiple
:
00:31:47,465 --> 00:31:51,140
ones in multiple sizes, and
Nobody knows what they were for.
:
00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:52,930
No.
:
00:31:52,930 --> 00:31:53,970
That's not true.
:
00:31:53,970 --> 00:31:57,670
There was a lady who said that, oh, it's
actually great for, like, storing yarn.
:
00:31:57,845 --> 00:32:00,725
It's not that great, and
that's not what they were for.
:
00:32:00,725 --> 00:32:04,245
And also, nobody was doing anything
with yarn back then because they
:
00:32:04,245 --> 00:32:05,740
hadn't invented knitting yet.
:
00:32:06,135 --> 00:32:07,800
Kay: Well, that's the thing.
:
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,698
It's it's more of a I recently
saw someone, uh, who, went like
:
00:32:11,758 --> 00:32:15,117
actually, these are perfect for
crocheting fingers for gloves.
:
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:18,686
and they demonstrated that it, like
that there's a crocheting technique
:
00:32:18,896 --> 00:32:19,636
Khaki: Oh, okay.
:
00:32:19,646 --> 00:32:22,451
Kay: Which, you can use those nubbly
things, and you can that's why you have
:
00:32:22,451 --> 00:32:24,173
the different sizes, holes on them.
:
00:32:24,233 --> 00:32:25,273
because you want different
:
00:32:25,483 --> 00:32:26,923
Khaki: Oh, I think I saw that as well.
:
00:32:26,923 --> 00:32:29,903
And I think they're also
crocheting way too modern.
:
00:32:30,108 --> 00:32:31,008
Romans were crocheting.
:
00:32:31,258 --> 00:32:31,578
Kay: Okay.
:
00:32:31,578 --> 00:32:32,218
I have no idea.
:
00:32:32,218 --> 00:32:33,338
how I mean yeah.
:
00:32:33,338 --> 00:32:35,438
I don't know when was
knitting involved invented?
:
00:32:35,628 --> 00:32:37,008
Khaki: Uh, thirteenth
century, thereabouts.
:
00:32:37,033 --> 00:32:37,113
Kay: Okay.
:
00:32:37,113 --> 00:32:39,783
I'm sure crocheting is older than that.
:
00:32:41,273 --> 00:32:47,437
Well, it's a really easy way to, like, get
Yarn to stick that it like, to make make
:
00:32:47,437 --> 00:32:48,657
Make fat things out
:
00:32:48,958 --> 00:32:49,998
Khaki: But so is knitting.
:
00:32:49,998 --> 00:32:50,397
Kay: Yeah.
:
00:32:50,397 --> 00:32:50,877
True.
:
00:32:50,877 --> 00:32:52,657
But it's much It's simpler than knitting.
:
00:32:53,203 --> 00:32:53,703
Okay.
:
00:32:53,918 --> 00:32:54,158
Khaki: Okay.
:
00:32:54,158 --> 00:32:56,633
But if you're doing crochet,
you can do knitting pretty soon.
:
00:32:57,443 --> 00:32:57,923
Kay: Yes.
:
00:32:57,923 --> 00:32:58,423
Maybe.
:
00:32:58,483 --> 00:32:58,883
Yeah.
:
00:32:58,883 --> 00:32:59,443
don't know.
:
00:32:59,613 --> 00:33:01,772
Khaki: Are we passing
through a a black hole
:
00:33:01,838 --> 00:33:02,558
Kay: I think so.
:
00:33:02,733 --> 00:33:03,052
Khaki: now?
:
00:33:03,052 --> 00:33:04,272
Is this what it's like?
:
00:33:04,907 --> 00:33:05,868
Maybe that's the thing.
:
00:33:05,868 --> 00:33:08,108
Maybe it's not a a trinary system
that they're passing through.
:
00:33:08,108 --> 00:33:09,328
Maybe they're all just podcasting.
:
00:33:11,303 --> 00:33:13,003
Kay: I mean, that will work on that, but,
:
00:33:13,242 --> 00:33:14,442
Khaki: Phlox doesn't know which doctor
:
00:33:14,675 --> 00:33:15,482
Kay: hunt Yes.
:
00:33:15,482 --> 00:33:18,927
Khaki: Because he hasn't been able to
find anything over the entire night that
:
00:33:18,927 --> 00:33:20,839
he's been studying, Ensign Mayweather.
:
00:33:20,944 --> 00:33:22,469
Kay: Who still wants to
get back to the bridge.
:
00:33:22,655 --> 00:33:24,075
Your scans didn't show anything.
:
00:33:24,095 --> 00:33:25,455
- That's what concerns me.
:
00:33:25,925 --> 00:33:26,865
Whatever's afflicting you
:
00:33:26,885 --> 00:33:27,825
may be dormant.
:
00:33:27,865 --> 00:33:28,585
I'm going to run
:
00:33:28,615 --> 00:33:30,205
a full bio-molecular scan...
:
00:33:30,205 --> 00:33:32,495
to see if we can find where it's hiding.
:
00:33:33,067 --> 00:33:35,327
Khaki: Time for a
microsection of your brain.
:
00:33:35,497 --> 00:33:36,717
Kay: Oh, that sounds fantastic.
:
00:33:36,996 --> 00:33:38,669
Khaki: first, he puts him
in the imaging chamber.
:
00:33:39,049 --> 00:33:40,979
I really like this Sort of set piece.
:
00:33:40,979 --> 00:33:42,539
Because instead of, like, a bio bed Yeah.
:
00:33:42,659 --> 00:33:43,961
Which which they'd have in the twenty
:
00:33:44,051 --> 00:33:48,176
Kay: They just roll them into a,
kind of MRI machine type thing.
:
00:33:48,236 --> 00:33:51,346
I think they reuse that same set
for the phototopy and launch tubes.
:
00:33:52,686 --> 00:33:54,946
Khaki: Well, this one's
built into into sickbay.
:
00:33:54,956 --> 00:33:55,456
Kay: know.
:
00:33:55,871 --> 00:33:59,231
I think I'll bet you that
the other end of that set.
:
00:33:59,231 --> 00:34:01,651
The back of that set is the Oh.
:
00:34:01,951 --> 00:34:03,331
Khaki: Oh, that's interesting.
:
00:34:04,351 --> 00:34:05,571
That might be the case.
:
00:34:06,108 --> 00:34:07,568
I was about 8 years old,
:
00:34:07,588 --> 00:34:09,478
my father took me on a tour...
:
00:34:09,527 --> 00:34:10,808
of the warp 5 facility
:
00:34:10,848 --> 00:34:12,768
outside of Bozeman, Montana.
:
00:34:13,157 --> 00:34:16,197
Khaki: and now we see things,
like, really taking a turn because
:
00:34:16,197 --> 00:34:21,192
we have Archer, dictating a,
honestly, rather bad preface, Right.
:
00:34:21,331 --> 00:34:25,972
Uh, where he says that, this this sort
of moment where he first visited the warp
:
00:34:25,992 --> 00:34:26,562
Kay: Oh, yes.
:
00:34:26,562 --> 00:34:26,897
Yeah.
:
00:34:26,976 --> 00:34:29,637
The the warp five facility
outside of Bozeman, Montana.
:
00:34:30,417 --> 00:34:36,243
I wonder if, like, a head cannon type like
we can Connect Archer to the, Duttons.
:
00:34:36,963 --> 00:34:37,783
Khaki: To the what?
:
00:34:37,895 --> 00:34:42,690
Kay: there's a series called Yellowstone
with Kevin Costner as the patro familias.
:
00:34:43,260 --> 00:34:44,000
Khaki: Oh, yes.
:
00:34:44,110 --> 00:34:44,909
Kay: And uh It's
:
00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:46,540
Khaki: your hyperfixation this last few
:
00:34:46,830 --> 00:34:49,309
Kay: It's it's a show we've been I've
been watching with my other with the other
:
00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:51,844
Khaki: It's It's come up a
lot on this show that is not
:
00:34:51,844 --> 00:34:53,205
about that, you know, I haven't
:
00:34:53,355 --> 00:34:56,077
Kay: takes But it takes place
close to Bozeman, Montana.
:
00:34:56,167 --> 00:34:56,827
Khaki: Oh, cool.
:
00:34:57,036 --> 00:34:57,997
Kay: around the Yellowstone
:
00:34:57,997 --> 00:34:58,397
area.
:
00:34:58,397 --> 00:34:58,557
So
:
00:34:58,774 --> 00:34:59,006
Khaki: Um
:
00:34:59,136 --> 00:35:01,161
Kay: but, yes, scientists
with names like you.
:
00:35:01,161 --> 00:35:02,541
Tasaki and Cochrane,
:
00:35:03,191 --> 00:35:05,851
Khaki: And he says,
these lines are so bad.
:
00:35:06,151 --> 00:35:10,811
In a way, creating a stable warp
field mirrored the flux of emotions
:
00:35:11,276 --> 00:35:14,897
My father felt when he embarked
on and he can hear himself say it.
:
00:35:15,036 --> 00:35:15,996
Like, the no.
:
00:35:15,996 --> 00:35:16,397
Hold on.
:
00:35:16,397 --> 00:35:19,526
This is this is so this is
like a one man, Uh, stage show.
:
00:35:19,526 --> 00:35:20,006
Oh, hey.
:
00:35:20,006 --> 00:35:20,886
Didn't see you there.
:
00:35:20,886 --> 00:35:21,206
Yeah.
:
00:35:21,206 --> 00:35:23,526
Well, where I grew up, there
sure was a bunch of characters.
:
00:35:23,576 --> 00:35:27,631
Kay: Well, the other thing he doesn't
see is Portos, who is, like, coming
:
00:35:27,722 --> 00:35:29,422
some attention or food, actually.
:
00:35:29,869 --> 00:35:30,639
Computer, pause.
:
00:35:31,079 --> 00:35:32,529
I'll feed you in a minute.
:
00:35:33,257 --> 00:35:34,777
Khaki: And then he barks at Porthos.
:
00:35:34,777 --> 00:35:35,017
Hey.
:
00:35:35,017 --> 00:35:35,257
Quiet.
:
00:35:35,257 --> 00:35:36,397
And poor little Porthos
:
00:35:36,537 --> 00:35:39,097
Kay: He just Goes like, goes over
for a little sulk on his bed.
:
00:35:39,097 --> 00:35:39,417
Khaki: Yeah.
:
00:35:39,417 --> 00:35:40,937
Oh, didn't mean to be a bad boy.
:
00:35:40,937 --> 00:35:44,142
I wonder if this is Breezy again, One
of the two dogs who plays, uh, Portos.
:
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:45,422
Because she did a very good job.
:
00:35:45,422 --> 00:35:47,282
She did a very good sulk there.
:
00:35:47,864 --> 00:35:52,700
you can see Archer sort of struggling
with it, but he can't I I thought this
:
00:35:52,700 --> 00:35:55,917
was really interesting because we see it
a few more times, particularly on Archer,
:
00:35:55,917 --> 00:35:59,917
where he sort of realizes what he's done,
but he can't hold on to that thought.
:
00:35:59,972 --> 00:36:02,292
Kay: For long enough to,
uh, keep going with it.
:
00:36:02,292 --> 00:36:02,612
And then
:
00:36:02,622 --> 00:36:03,982
Khaki: he slides back into the other
:
00:36:04,059 --> 00:36:04,292
Kay: one.
:
00:36:04,292 --> 00:36:04,697
Yep.
:
00:36:04,922 --> 00:36:05,962
Khaki: what a torment that must
:
00:36:07,157 --> 00:36:10,420
Kay: To Paul, meanwhile, summons
her asked Tripp to come over to help
:
00:36:10,420 --> 00:36:13,905
her with the sensory readings, and
he said, I'm working on the chair.
:
00:36:14,566 --> 00:36:15,276
I get it.
:
00:36:16,516 --> 00:36:17,856
You're paying me back...
:
00:36:19,076 --> 00:36:20,266
making me jump through hoops
:
00:36:20,266 --> 00:36:21,806
because I was making too much noise.
:
00:36:23,013 --> 00:36:23,813
Khaki: Uh, which he says, hey.
:
00:36:23,813 --> 00:36:24,853
You can go back to the bridge.
:
00:36:24,853 --> 00:36:26,133
I've I've taken the chair out.
:
00:36:26,133 --> 00:36:26,893
We're down in engineering.
:
00:36:26,893 --> 00:36:27,493
He says, no.
:
00:36:27,493 --> 00:36:27,653
No.
:
00:36:27,653 --> 00:36:28,413
I prefer to work here.
:
00:36:28,488 --> 00:36:30,408
Kay: See, this is what I'm
thinking that, like, she's
:
00:36:30,408 --> 00:36:32,008
starting to get affected As well.
:
00:36:32,008 --> 00:36:34,433
Like, she's she's, like,
she's got the whole focus.
:
00:36:34,433 --> 00:36:35,953
Like, oh, we're above that sort of thing
:
00:36:35,953 --> 00:36:36,353
going on.
:
00:36:36,353 --> 00:36:39,393
Because, like, you know, they're
focused For all their talents and, uh,
:
00:36:39,393 --> 00:36:41,573
skills, they have a few flaws as well.
:
00:36:41,753 --> 00:36:42,393
Khaki: Oh, yeah.
:
00:36:42,393 --> 00:36:42,893
Yeah.
:
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:46,130
also, like, just some cultural
practices, like, they're just,
:
00:36:47,565 --> 00:36:47,725
I
:
00:36:47,725 --> 00:36:50,402
won't even say dishonest, but a they
have a certain way of presenting
:
00:36:50,402 --> 00:36:53,122
themselves that isn't necessarily
consistent with how they're perceived.
:
00:36:53,122 --> 00:36:55,302
But the the same is true
for, you know, humans.
:
00:36:55,347 --> 00:36:59,020
Uh, like to present themselves in Star
Trek as, oh, we're we're above that.
:
00:36:59,020 --> 00:37:00,860
We've we've outgrown these needs.
:
00:37:00,860 --> 00:37:04,320
Uh, that's that's far
from universally true.
:
00:37:04,740 --> 00:37:08,120
Kay: Tripp accuses her of trying
to doing it only to get herself
:
00:37:08,260 --> 00:37:10,360
immortalized in the Vulcan database.
:
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:13,860
Which is A bit a bit
bit of a low blow, but
:
00:37:14,460 --> 00:37:14,960
Khaki: Yeah.
:
00:37:15,376 --> 00:37:19,470
even for the sort of flirty arguing
that they've been doing for a while
:
00:37:19,470 --> 00:37:24,368
because, know, he's a good old country
engineer, and he, uh, doesn't like
:
00:37:24,368 --> 00:37:26,868
all these newfangled foreign ideas.
:
00:37:26,903 --> 00:37:29,078
Kay: The most important thing
on the ship is crew, and we
:
00:37:29,078 --> 00:37:30,708
He makes life-and-death decisions
:
00:37:30,758 --> 00:37:31,338
every day.
:
00:37:31,478 --> 00:37:32,778
The last thing he needs to think
:
00:37:32,828 --> 00:37:34,178
in a critical situation is:
:
00:37:34,378 --> 00:37:35,858
"Gee, I wish this chair
:
00:37:35,858 --> 00:37:37,448
wasn't such a pain in the ass."
:
00:37:37,448 --> 00:37:39,543
Kay: therefore, the
chair must be worked on.
:
00:37:39,868 --> 00:37:40,268
Khaki: Yep.
:
00:37:40,268 --> 00:37:42,348
And she's left alone with a
piece of equipment that she
:
00:37:42,348 --> 00:37:44,243
needed, but no way to install it.
:
00:37:45,548 --> 00:37:45,628
Um
:
00:37:45,923 --> 00:37:49,145
Kay: Phlox, Uh, after
having done the scan.
:
00:37:49,145 --> 00:37:52,185
went like, well, still can't
find anything, so I'm just gonna
:
00:37:52,185 --> 00:37:53,645
have to go in and do it manually.
:
00:37:54,025 --> 00:37:54,345
Khaki: Yep.
:
00:37:54,345 --> 00:37:59,085
He did find some elevated hormonal
levels, uh, that he's concerned about,
:
00:37:59,591 --> 00:38:02,466
which is actually, like, happening.
:
00:38:02,466 --> 00:38:05,666
And, unfortunately, he doesn't scan
himself to see the same, uh, same thing
:
00:38:05,666 --> 00:38:09,295
happening to him because this is the
effect, the the the radiation from
:
00:38:09,295 --> 00:38:11,120
this black hole or whatever is having.
:
00:38:11,855 --> 00:38:13,394
but Travis over obsesses.
:
00:38:13,581 --> 00:38:14,651
Unless you're ready to tie me
:
00:38:14,651 --> 00:38:16,951
to a bio-bed, I'm going back to my helm.
:
00:38:17,206 --> 00:38:17,526
Kay: okay.
:
00:38:17,526 --> 00:38:18,326
Well, I'll just give
:
00:38:18,326 --> 00:38:19,286
you Something for your headache.
:
00:38:19,286 --> 00:38:19,526
then.
:
00:38:19,526 --> 00:38:19,686
And
:
00:38:19,791 --> 00:38:20,991
Khaki: does nothing over his shoulder.
:
00:38:20,991 --> 00:38:22,931
Well, at least let me
give you an analgesic.
:
00:38:23,156 --> 00:38:23,451
Kay: sir.
:
00:38:23,671 --> 00:38:24,171
Yes.
:
00:38:24,766 --> 00:38:24,927
Khaki: Yeah.
:
00:38:24,927 --> 00:38:25,086
Well,
:
00:38:25,086 --> 00:38:26,786
that's what I wanted in the first place.
:
00:38:27,351 --> 00:38:29,191
Kay: And once he gets an analgesic or an
:
00:38:29,727 --> 00:38:30,286
Khaki: Oh, no.
:
00:38:30,286 --> 00:38:31,887
We learned that from chief Greg.
:
00:38:31,887 --> 00:38:32,031
Oh,
:
00:38:32,082 --> 00:38:32,670
Kay: Oh, right.
:
00:38:32,670 --> 00:38:32,965
Yes.
:
00:38:32,965 --> 00:38:33,554
It's not
:
00:38:33,822 --> 00:38:34,562
Khaki: an anesthetic.
:
00:38:35,101 --> 00:38:36,322
Are you proud of us, Steve?
:
00:38:36,969 --> 00:38:40,059
I was going to make some comments about
how can we be proud of you when you made
:
00:38:40,059 --> 00:38:41,769
me do some soft core porn music in this?
:
00:38:42,099 --> 00:38:43,629
And then I remembered, oh, right.
:
00:38:43,749 --> 00:38:47,919
But I'm on the added moans
after like every item you read.
:
00:38:47,919 --> 00:38:49,359
So yeah.
:
00:38:49,359 --> 00:38:49,899
I'm proud of you.
:
00:38:50,665 --> 00:38:51,165
Khaki: Yay.
:
00:38:51,264 --> 00:38:51,853
Kay: us, chief?
:
00:38:51,945 --> 00:38:52,925
Khaki: See, we listen.
:
00:38:53,645 --> 00:38:54,765
Kay: Also, I noticed that, like
:
00:38:54,910 --> 00:38:55,790
Khaki: the episodes when they
:
00:38:55,885 --> 00:38:56,205
Kay: Okay.
:
00:38:56,205 --> 00:38:56,445
Okay.
:
00:38:56,445 --> 00:38:57,005
one more thing.
:
00:38:57,005 --> 00:38:59,805
It's like, because, like the incident,
like, says, like, what are you gonna do?
:
00:38:59,805 --> 00:39:03,280
You're gonna have to strap me to a bio
bed if you if, uh, to keep me here.
:
00:39:03,439 --> 00:39:06,479
And after Phlox knocks him out,
that's exactly what he does.
:
00:39:06,479 --> 00:39:08,500
except he doesn't even
pull him on Straight.
:
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,679
He kinda like still has his legs
hanging over the back end and Phlox
:
00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:13,265
just starts, like, strapping him up.
:
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:14,820
Khaki: Yes.
:
00:39:14,820 --> 00:39:15,219
Yeah.
:
00:39:15,219 --> 00:39:16,260
I think that's fair.
:
00:39:16,260 --> 00:39:19,939
I think that's a sort of a fair
vent of some some more because,
:
00:39:19,939 --> 00:39:21,939
like, an examination table is a
:
00:39:22,210 --> 00:39:23,410
Kay: Maybe a little plasma breach.
:
00:39:23,410 --> 00:39:24,855
not a not a full vent.
:
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:27,197
Khaki: it's a workbench, essentially.
:
00:39:27,417 --> 00:39:27,657
Right?
:
00:39:27,657 --> 00:39:30,642
You you you you need to have
your subject Situated correctly,
:
00:39:30,642 --> 00:39:31,682
there's a proper position.
:
00:39:31,682 --> 00:39:34,002
Also, especially if you wanna do
brain stuff, you wanna be able to
:
00:39:34,002 --> 00:39:36,817
access the brain and not have to walk
around the, uh, the end of the table.
:
00:39:37,399 --> 00:39:40,869
Reid has various suggestions for
noises that we could all enjoy.
:
00:39:41,152 --> 00:39:43,517
Kay: horrible screeching, siren songs.
:
00:39:43,577 --> 00:39:46,697
Khaki: do you which one does you make
you feel sort of more action ready?
:
00:39:46,697 --> 00:39:48,057
Is it this one or this one?
:
00:39:48,252 --> 00:39:50,422
Kay: one gets your anxiety
levels up the most?
:
00:39:51,742 --> 00:39:53,182
Khaki: I mean, it is valid.
:
00:39:53,254 --> 00:39:55,414
do wanna sort of focus test these
:
00:39:55,589 --> 00:39:56,170
Kay: Oh, totally.
:
00:39:56,798 --> 00:39:59,653
Khaki: although I wonder what the
sort of Qualifications would be.
:
00:39:59,653 --> 00:40:02,354
Because I'm thinking, for example,
like sirens on first response
:
00:40:02,354 --> 00:40:06,531
vehicles, which are designed
to be easily localized,
:
00:40:07,261 --> 00:40:08,621
uh, in space behind you.
:
00:40:08,621 --> 00:40:08,741
that's
:
00:40:08,746 --> 00:40:10,186
Kay: the things that's starting to happen.
:
00:40:10,186 --> 00:40:10,426
Yeah.
:
00:40:10,426 --> 00:40:15,527
It's basically the standard notes
of a siren are Easy to hear Yeah.
:
00:40:15,687 --> 00:40:17,947
But very hard to to pinpoint.
:
00:40:18,087 --> 00:40:22,152
Uh, and they found out that, like, adding
a lot of white noise to them Makes them
:
00:40:22,152 --> 00:40:25,112
far more directional for uh, for humans.
:
00:40:25,112 --> 00:40:27,432
That's why they sometimes
you do the the sirens.
:
00:40:27,432 --> 00:40:29,212
They go and then
:
00:40:30,357 --> 00:40:30,857
Khaki: Yep.
:
00:40:31,317 --> 00:40:31,817
Kay: etcetera.
:
00:40:32,563 --> 00:40:34,818
Khaki: an innovation from, I
think, about twenty years ago.
:
00:40:34,818 --> 00:40:35,298
And yeah.
:
00:40:35,298 --> 00:40:38,793
Because, yes, the scenario is when
you're driving a car, You need to
:
00:40:38,793 --> 00:40:41,673
know whether this emergency response
vehicle is coming from the left or
:
00:40:41,673 --> 00:40:42,313
the right so you
:
00:40:42,313 --> 00:40:43,848
can, make space for them.
:
00:40:44,108 --> 00:40:47,788
I wonder what the sort of
Requirements are of this noise.
:
00:40:48,473 --> 00:40:50,793
I mean oh, here's an interesting one.
:
00:40:50,793 --> 00:40:52,473
It's being played over
multiple parts of the
:
00:40:52,679 --> 00:40:52,978
Kay: ship.
:
00:40:52,978 --> 00:40:53,378
Yeah.
:
00:40:53,590 --> 00:40:56,423
Khaki: so there is going to be
some sort of acoustic drift.
:
00:40:56,483 --> 00:40:56,803
Right?
:
00:40:56,803 --> 00:40:57,843
Speakers that are farther away.
:
00:40:57,843 --> 00:40:59,898
You you already see this as concerts Yeah.
:
00:41:00,050 --> 00:41:01,170
are tuned very carefully.
:
00:41:01,170 --> 00:41:02,290
The speakers are out of sync in
:
00:41:02,290 --> 00:41:03,010
order to,
:
00:41:03,010 --> 00:41:04,950
uh, make sure that the sound sounds
:
00:41:05,082 --> 00:41:05,946
Kay: spontaneous Yeah.
:
00:41:06,050 --> 00:41:06,290
Khaki: about
:
00:41:06,290 --> 00:41:06,530
everywhere.
:
00:41:06,530 --> 00:41:07,330
We can never get it
:
00:41:07,330 --> 00:41:07,645
perfect.
:
00:41:07,745 --> 00:41:08,145
Kay: No.
:
00:41:08,321 --> 00:41:11,400
Khaki: So I noticed in the first
one, like, it a sort of repeating
:
00:41:11,780 --> 00:41:14,500
element inside that sort of
sounds echoing, so that might
:
00:41:14,955 --> 00:41:17,340
Kay: I don't think you I don't think you
really need that in a ship like this?
:
00:41:17,420 --> 00:41:19,740
Like, it's it's all bulkheads
and everything, and, like, you're
:
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:22,700
only gonna be hearing the alarm
in the room that you're in.
:
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:26,028
And you need any requirements to know
where it's coming from Because it's just a
:
00:41:26,253 --> 00:41:26,733
Khaki: Of course.
:
00:41:26,733 --> 00:41:27,133
Yeah.
:
00:41:27,133 --> 00:41:27,533
Yeah.
:
00:41:27,533 --> 00:41:29,213
But you don't wanna
mistake it for something
:
00:41:29,269 --> 00:41:29,548
Kay: else.
:
00:41:29,548 --> 00:41:29,948
Oh, no.
:
00:41:29,948 --> 00:41:32,403
But I don't think that's very easy to do.
:
00:41:33,404 --> 00:41:33,697
Khaki: No.
:
00:41:33,697 --> 00:41:34,657
Certainly not the ones that
:
00:41:34,802 --> 00:41:35,042
Kay: I mean, they
:
00:41:35,217 --> 00:41:35,778
Khaki: They're They're
:
00:41:35,778 --> 00:41:36,018
very
:
00:41:36,403 --> 00:41:38,909
Kay: Oh, they certainly toned
it down by the time that, The
:
00:41:38,909 --> 00:41:40,314
next generation rolls around.
:
00:41:40,534 --> 00:41:44,311
Khaki: Well, not enough for captain
Picard who, just like Archer, says
:
00:41:44,408 --> 00:41:45,568
Shut off that damn noise!
:
00:41:45,795 --> 00:41:47,315
Khaki: The very first time red alert
:
00:41:47,570 --> 00:41:48,150
Kay: Red alert.
:
00:41:48,355 --> 00:41:51,255
Khaki: generation encounter at
Farpoint according to the preparation
:
00:41:51,315 --> 00:41:53,175
that, chief has provided for us.
:
00:41:53,568 --> 00:41:54,903
I wonder, like okay.
:
00:41:54,903 --> 00:41:56,743
But once he has one alarm okay.
:
00:41:56,743 --> 00:41:58,426
So now we have, alert readiness.
:
00:41:58,426 --> 00:42:01,306
Well, we probably wanna have,
like, other conditions as
:
00:42:01,586 --> 00:42:02,786
Kay: For special situations.
:
00:42:02,786 --> 00:42:03,106
Yes.
:
00:42:03,111 --> 00:42:03,431
Khaki: Yeah.
:
00:42:03,431 --> 00:42:03,751
Exactly.
:
00:42:03,826 --> 00:42:05,386
Kay: Let me go Let me go work on that.
:
00:42:05,511 --> 00:42:06,011
Khaki: Yeah.
:
00:42:06,921 --> 00:42:08,241
if we don't serve
:
00:42:08,301 --> 00:42:08,811
something soon...
:
00:42:08,811 --> 00:42:10,141
we're going to have a riot on our hands.
:
00:42:11,411 --> 00:42:12,251
Is this too salty?
:
00:42:12,989 --> 00:42:14,509
Khaki: Uh, and she wants
to get it just right.
:
00:42:14,509 --> 00:42:15,149
It's like, no.
:
00:42:15,149 --> 00:42:16,179
It's it's fine.
:
00:42:16,194 --> 00:42:17,259
Kay: just kicks him out.
:
00:42:17,389 --> 00:42:18,109
Khaki: Get some of them.
:
00:42:18,109 --> 00:42:19,864
Oh, some of the cretasins spice.
:
00:42:19,864 --> 00:42:20,444
uh, Cratasenus.
:
00:42:20,504 --> 00:42:23,144
That's the one that they visited in the
last episode that we, uh, that we looked.
:
00:42:23,144 --> 00:42:24,604
The night in the night in sickbay.
:
00:42:26,024 --> 00:42:26,344
Yeah.
:
00:42:26,344 --> 00:42:27,564
She demands carrots.
:
00:42:28,695 --> 00:42:29,425
I'm out of carrots.
:
00:42:29,425 --> 00:42:30,135
- There are 25 people...
:
00:42:30,135 --> 00:42:30,265
- Carrots!
:
00:42:31,989 --> 00:42:32,549
Khaki: And then
:
00:42:32,549 --> 00:42:35,129
she shoes him out, like hardcore.
:
00:42:35,509 --> 00:42:36,069
Get out.
:
00:42:36,069 --> 00:42:36,729
Get out.
:
00:42:37,669 --> 00:42:38,949
She looks good in her apron.
:
00:42:39,304 --> 00:42:39,464
Kay: There's
:
00:42:39,464 --> 00:42:42,664
a pointless little thing that well,
not pointless, but it, like it
:
00:42:42,664 --> 00:42:45,689
it sets to sit more to the scene
between Reid and to Paul about the
:
00:42:45,849 --> 00:42:47,609
security, uh, clearances like yes.
:
00:42:47,609 --> 00:42:50,429
I issued Security codes to all of the,
:
00:42:51,449 --> 00:42:51,849
senior
:
00:42:51,849 --> 00:42:54,669
staff, so we all now have secret
passphrases and handshakes.
:
00:42:54,934 --> 00:42:57,974
And We have to, uh, so we can
identify themselves and to see if
:
00:42:57,974 --> 00:43:01,281
there is not an interloper here who
is impersonating one of the staff.
:
00:43:01,586 --> 00:43:05,186
Khaki: I think you're right that she's
also affected because she just breezes
:
00:43:05,186 --> 00:43:09,986
past this Absolutely bizarre behavior
of unsanctioned security protocols
:
00:43:10,046 --> 00:43:11,726
being implemented and expected of her.
:
00:43:11,726 --> 00:43:15,939
And she just kind of she just sort of
skips over it, he goes, oh, but without
:
00:43:15,939 --> 00:43:18,039
your security code, you could be anyone.
:
00:43:18,579 --> 00:43:18,819
Yeah.
:
00:43:18,819 --> 00:43:19,521
But, whatever.
:
00:43:19,741 --> 00:43:20,941
Uh, and she starts to do her
:
00:43:20,941 --> 00:43:21,441
thing.
:
00:43:21,501 --> 00:43:22,001
She
:
00:43:22,061 --> 00:43:24,146
needs someone to help install All this.
:
00:43:24,324 --> 00:43:25,144
then she notices
:
00:43:25,401 --> 00:43:28,591
Lieutenant, why are you armed?
:
00:43:28,838 --> 00:43:31,902
Khaki: he's got his, uh,
pulse pistol on his hip There.
:
00:43:31,902 --> 00:43:32,962
Fine looking weapon.
:
00:43:33,182 --> 00:43:36,302
Can't imagine that it's very easy
to aim because it has a rounded
:
00:43:36,561 --> 00:43:36,837
Kay: top.
:
00:43:36,897 --> 00:43:37,297
Yeah.
:
00:43:37,402 --> 00:43:38,802
Khaki: Doesn't really have a sight,
:
00:43:39,862 --> 00:43:40,102
Kay: No.
:
00:43:40,102 --> 00:43:42,342
But that's, like, that comes
later with Phasors As well.
:
00:43:42,342 --> 00:43:42,849
You know?
:
00:43:42,849 --> 00:43:43,896
Khaki: they also don't have it.
:
00:43:44,071 --> 00:43:44,571
Kay: Yep.
:
00:43:44,625 --> 00:43:48,705
It actually starts becoming a little dark
because Reid is commenting like, yes.
:
00:43:48,705 --> 00:43:52,385
We have to be armed now in in in
certain areas and, like, to Paul's
:
00:43:52,385 --> 00:43:54,650
like, What's the captain say about it?
:
00:43:54,650 --> 00:43:55,450
Well, I mailed him
:
00:43:55,450 --> 00:43:57,370
the proposal, but he's
not responded to it.
:
00:43:57,370 --> 00:43:58,890
So I'm going ahead And implement it.
:
00:43:58,890 --> 00:44:00,650
and, like, something
needs to be done by this.
:
00:44:00,650 --> 00:44:02,845
It becomes a little bit threatening even.
:
00:44:02,845 --> 00:44:05,585
Like, he's more interested in
Fraternizing with the crew.
:
00:44:05,725 --> 00:44:08,525
And I intend to imply
some long overdue changes.
:
00:44:08,525 --> 00:44:10,945
And if the captain not approving,
then I'll go to Starfleet.
:
00:44:11,130 --> 00:44:12,110
sounds like mutiny.
:
00:44:14,090 --> 00:44:14,330
I
:
00:44:14,385 --> 00:44:16,465
Khaki: there's gotta be
another word for mutiny, but
:
00:44:16,570 --> 00:44:16,730
Kay: No.
:
00:44:16,730 --> 00:44:19,130
It depends on how it depends
on how he acts on it.
:
00:44:19,130 --> 00:44:19,290
it.
:
00:44:19,290 --> 00:44:20,270
sounds like mutiny.
:
00:44:20,740 --> 00:44:21,780
Khaki: Oh, let me go.
:
00:44:21,780 --> 00:44:26,280
Sort of sort of flexibility
read colon chain of commands.
:
00:44:26,660 --> 00:44:27,160
Yeah.
:
00:44:27,377 --> 00:44:29,519
and this is the rest of the the episode.
:
00:44:29,579 --> 00:44:33,696
All of these different combinations
of characters, we we now have, For,
:
00:44:33,696 --> 00:44:35,479
uh, Archer coming down to engineering?
:
00:44:35,674 --> 00:44:37,934
Kay: Chair has been completely
taken apart and redesigned.
:
00:44:38,502 --> 00:44:38,822
Khaki: yep.
:
00:44:38,822 --> 00:44:39,322
Because,
:
00:44:39,635 --> 00:44:40,955
Did you know this chair
:
00:44:40,955 --> 00:44:42,425
is the exact same model...
:
00:44:42,425 --> 00:44:45,245
used on Neptune-Class survey ships?
:
00:44:46,095 --> 00:44:47,845
Is that why you called me down here?
:
00:44:48,305 --> 00:44:50,875
Enterprise is the first warp 5 vessel
:
00:44:50,875 --> 00:44:53,155
in human history, the pride of the fleet.
:
00:44:53,845 --> 00:44:54,765
You're sitting in a chair
:
00:44:54,765 --> 00:44:55,335
they've been using...
:
00:44:55,335 --> 00:44:57,675
on warp 2 ships for over a decade.
:
00:44:58,215 --> 00:44:59,245
You deserve better.
:
00:44:59,795 --> 00:45:03,448
Kay: and from another bit of the
trivia that was provided for us
:
00:45:03,448 --> 00:45:08,375
is, like, there's A lot of All the
features that, Tripp is suggesting here
:
00:45:08,375 --> 00:45:12,990
are are pretty much Things that we see in
later, chronologically later Star Trek.
:
00:45:12,990 --> 00:45:13,870
You know, the Oh, yeah.
:
00:45:14,030 --> 00:45:17,070
Being able to, uh, manage
the status displays and doing
:
00:45:17,070 --> 00:45:18,110
a little sometimes even a
:
00:45:18,110 --> 00:45:20,208
little bit secondary helm from the chair.
:
00:45:20,328 --> 00:45:20,828
Khaki: Controls.
:
00:45:20,888 --> 00:45:21,208
Yeah.
:
00:45:21,208 --> 00:45:24,168
All that all that stuff plus
oh, and this one is really
:
00:45:24,168 --> 00:45:26,091
interesting microinertial dampeners.
:
00:45:26,630 --> 00:45:27,130
Kay: Yeah.
:
00:45:27,485 --> 00:45:28,125
So they don't
:
00:45:28,125 --> 00:45:29,245
have to Or a seat belt.
:
00:45:29,245 --> 00:45:29,720
You know?
:
00:45:30,365 --> 00:45:30,765
Ever heard
:
00:45:30,790 --> 00:45:31,095
Khaki: on.
:
00:45:31,175 --> 00:45:32,555
This is this is revolutionary.
:
00:45:32,615 --> 00:45:35,796
I don't know if microinertial dampeners
have ever been, like, explained
:
00:45:35,796 --> 00:45:39,621
before, but a microinertial dampener
might be better than a seat belt.
:
00:45:40,661 --> 00:45:40,901
Right.
:
00:45:40,901 --> 00:45:42,341
Because a seat belt can
cut into your flesh.
:
00:45:42,341 --> 00:45:43,301
It can be restrictive.
:
00:45:43,301 --> 00:45:43,701
It can,
:
00:45:43,946 --> 00:45:45,706
Kay: they still haven't they
still haven't gone around to
:
00:45:45,706 --> 00:45:47,085
them in uh, next generation.
:
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,785
Khaki: I'm saying is what if they
all have them and the ship shakes
:
00:45:49,945 --> 00:45:54,105
So hard every time that even the
microinertial dampeners in every
:
00:45:54,105 --> 00:45:56,094
chair and workstation can't handle it.
:
00:45:56,094 --> 00:45:58,899
And that if they had been wearing seat
belts, they'd have been cut in half.
:
00:45:59,369 --> 00:45:59,734
Kay: Yep.
:
00:45:59,894 --> 00:46:00,394
Well,
:
00:46:02,294 --> 00:46:02,374
I
:
00:46:02,374 --> 00:46:03,494
mean, I've always found the
:
00:46:03,494 --> 00:46:04,294
inertia dampness.
:
00:46:04,294 --> 00:46:04,794
I
:
00:46:04,934 --> 00:46:06,454
said the press that I'm
:
00:46:06,639 --> 00:46:09,424
Khaki: defending all of Star Trek
canon where people complain But,
:
00:46:09,424 --> 00:46:10,784
oh, why don't they wear seat belts?
:
00:46:10,784 --> 00:46:12,944
They've got something better than
seat belts, and it also doesn't work.
:
00:46:12,944 --> 00:46:14,839
And if they're worse wearing
seat belts, they would die.
:
00:46:14,869 --> 00:46:18,784
Kay: Well, I mean, there you have already
have the regular inertial dampeners which
:
00:46:18,784 --> 00:46:22,455
stop you from turning into a paste on
the wall whenever a ship goes into warp.
:
00:46:23,100 --> 00:46:23,260
You.
:
00:46:23,260 --> 00:46:23,460
Yes.
:
00:46:23,650 --> 00:46:24,610
Khaki: Very, very handy, those
:
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:25,020
Kay: things.
:
00:46:25,020 --> 00:46:25,760
Very useful.
:
00:46:25,810 --> 00:46:26,254
Khaki: Uh-huh.
:
00:46:26,616 --> 00:46:27,116
Archer
:
00:46:27,256 --> 00:46:29,937
tries to recite another pretty terrible,
:
00:46:30,135 --> 00:46:34,036
The opening paragraph Tripp who's
completely uninterested and just wants
:
00:46:34,036 --> 00:46:36,796
to, uh, scan him with a science gun.
:
00:46:37,033 --> 00:46:39,053
Isn't that used for aligning phase coils?
:
00:46:39,623 --> 00:46:40,773
You won't feel a thing.
:
00:46:40,793 --> 00:46:40,813
As
:
00:46:41,156 --> 00:46:44,916
Khaki: It's a really cool special effect
because this beam passes over Archer,
:
00:46:44,916 --> 00:46:48,116
and then you see this this sort of grid
appearing over him like he's being three d
:
00:46:48,426 --> 00:46:50,426
Kay: Well, which is actually
literally what he's doing.
:
00:46:50,426 --> 00:46:53,421
So uh, while he's, like, yeah,
he gets him to turn around.
:
00:46:53,421 --> 00:46:57,901
Again, we have a a scene where two
people are completely doing their
:
00:46:57,901 --> 00:47:02,275
own thing and Only tolerating the
other person's presence in the room.
:
00:47:02,335 --> 00:47:02,655
Yes.
:
00:47:02,655 --> 00:47:04,415
They're kinda completely ignoring what
:
00:47:04,415 --> 00:47:04,815
what they're
:
00:47:04,955 --> 00:47:05,855
Khaki: at one another.
:
00:47:05,855 --> 00:47:06,205
Kay: Right.
:
00:47:06,801 --> 00:47:10,065
Khaki: do wanna point out, like,
a small detail, which is Archer
:
00:47:10,065 --> 00:47:11,745
has a particular way of walking.
:
00:47:11,745 --> 00:47:14,465
He has this really
exaggerated shoulder swagger.
:
00:47:14,465 --> 00:47:14,770
Yeah.
:
00:47:15,153 --> 00:47:18,989
sort of tipping back and forth like a
sawhorse even when he's just, turning
:
00:47:18,989 --> 00:47:21,951
around, Which obviously is going
to throw off of the measurements.
:
00:47:21,951 --> 00:47:27,151
But it's not until the scanning beam gets
to waist height, that Tripp says, okay.
:
00:47:27,151 --> 00:47:28,051
Now hold still.
:
00:47:28,326 --> 00:47:30,166
Like, oh, the rest of the
measurements must be off.
:
00:47:30,166 --> 00:47:32,006
But, no, he only cares about the
:
00:47:32,162 --> 00:47:32,446
Kay: butt.
:
00:47:32,446 --> 00:47:32,946
Yeah.
:
00:47:32,970 --> 00:47:34,612
Khaki: he's a full on butt obsessed
:
00:47:34,712 --> 00:47:36,972
Kay: He needs he he needs the chair get
:
00:47:37,607 --> 00:47:37,687
is.
:
00:47:37,687 --> 00:47:38,187
Yeah.
:
00:47:39,138 --> 00:47:40,722
Khaki: The chair is all about the butt.
:
00:47:41,527 --> 00:47:43,172
Kay: Well, and the back
of the thighs, really.
:
00:47:43,263 --> 00:47:45,402
Khaki: And the back of the
thighs and the small of the back.
:
00:47:45,775 --> 00:47:46,995
I have 83 people to feed,
:
00:47:47,005 --> 00:47:48,245
not just senior officers.
:
00:47:48,255 --> 00:47:49,105
All I requested
:
00:47:49,105 --> 00:47:50,265
was a bowl of plomeek broth.
:
00:47:50,265 --> 00:47:50,585
I don't
:
00:47:50,835 --> 00:47:52,375
Khaki: I guess the line's been growing.
:
00:47:52,515 --> 00:47:55,635
I guess she's been in there so long
that those twenty five people have, I
:
00:47:55,635 --> 00:48:00,240
think, by now either died or They've
repopulated the planet, and these are
:
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:03,680
now their eighty three descendants
or the rest of the you know, it
:
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:04,500
could be anything.
:
00:48:04,815 --> 00:48:05,055
Kay: Uh
:
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:06,020
Khaki: a few days.
:
00:48:06,504 --> 00:48:09,042
Kay: so, like, running a ship,
the ship obviously, has twenty
:
00:48:09,042 --> 00:48:10,549
four hour, uh, operations.
:
00:48:11,479 --> 00:48:11,719
Khaki: Look.
:
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,199
It's always been kind
of iffy on on Star Trek.
:
00:48:14,199 --> 00:48:15,559
Like, when does anybody sleep?
:
00:48:15,559 --> 00:48:19,186
Sometimes they acknowledge that
there are second and third shifts or
:
00:48:19,186 --> 00:48:19,586
sometimes
:
00:48:19,606 --> 00:48:20,646
Kay: know, night night shift.
:
00:48:20,646 --> 00:48:20,806
Yeah.
:
00:48:20,806 --> 00:48:23,241
I mean, I think four
shifts to be a normal.
:
00:48:23,388 --> 00:48:26,527
Running a chip like that, like,
assuming twenty four hour operations.
:
00:48:26,587 --> 00:48:29,227
you would want, uh, you
know, four meals a day.
:
00:48:29,227 --> 00:48:29,912
Just like every
:
00:48:29,912 --> 00:48:31,422
six hours, there's a meal, I think.
:
00:48:31,952 --> 00:48:32,352
Khaki: Yeah.
:
00:48:32,352 --> 00:48:34,132
On on the enterprise d
:
00:48:34,872 --> 00:48:35,432
Kay: Oh, everybody
:
00:48:35,432 --> 00:48:36,472
has a bloody replicator.
:
00:48:36,472 --> 00:48:37,752
You can, like, eat whatever you
:
00:48:37,752 --> 00:48:38,042
want.
:
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:39,277
just talking
:
00:48:39,287 --> 00:48:41,590
Khaki: about the shifts because I know
in, an episode when another captain
:
00:48:41,590 --> 00:48:44,575
comes aboard, captain Jellico, he wants
to introduce a different number, and
:
00:48:44,592 --> 00:48:45,272
We have a standard
:
00:48:45,272 --> 00:48:46,312
three-shift rotation.
:
00:48:46,412 --> 00:48:47,252
I'd like to change that
:
00:48:47,252 --> 00:48:48,422
to four starting tonight.
:
00:48:48,632 --> 00:48:50,792
Khaki: But, you know, whenever
something interesting happens, they
:
00:48:50,792 --> 00:48:52,232
never have to wake up the captain.
:
00:48:53,192 --> 00:48:56,537
the day shift is always at their station
whenever interesting stuff happens.
:
00:48:57,171 --> 00:48:58,721
This is a Tactical Alert.
:
00:48:59,041 --> 00:49:00,861
All hands report to your stations.
:
00:49:01,271 --> 00:49:03,751
Khaki: everybody busts onto the
bridge, in particularly the captain.
:
00:49:03,751 --> 00:49:04,076
Look.
:
00:49:04,156 --> 00:49:04,956
What the hell is this?
:
00:49:04,956 --> 00:49:06,461
I didn't authorize any drills.
:
00:49:06,551 --> 00:49:09,036
Kay: Well, Wouldn't know that it
was in the drill, if it's, like,
:
00:49:09,116 --> 00:49:10,636
which is like a bullshit argument.
:
00:49:10,636 --> 00:49:14,286
like like, we wouldn't be a good test
if everybody knew it was a drill.
:
00:49:14,286 --> 00:49:14,526
No.
:
00:49:14,526 --> 00:49:14,926
well.
:
00:49:14,926 --> 00:49:15,406
Kinda.
:
00:49:15,406 --> 00:49:15,941
You know?
:
00:49:16,291 --> 00:49:16,611
Khaki: Yeah.
:
00:49:16,611 --> 00:49:18,771
The the senior staff
needs to know about it.
:
00:49:18,771 --> 00:49:21,334
It's a battle readiness for
everyone, but it needs to be
:
00:49:21,482 --> 00:49:21,704
Kay: approved.
:
00:49:21,704 --> 00:49:23,144
And you need to practice these things.
:
00:49:23,144 --> 00:49:23,569
you know.
:
00:49:23,729 --> 00:49:25,909
Like, if you have you have new
protocols which you're implementing,
:
00:49:26,049 --> 00:49:29,989
you're not just gonna go, like, full
balls out surprise implementation.
:
00:49:30,449 --> 00:49:33,274
First, you're first, you're gonna
Practice these a few times, you know, like
:
00:49:33,984 --> 00:49:36,864
Khaki: that also adds the extra
complication that now from now
:
00:49:36,864 --> 00:49:39,499
on, You have to also say this
is not a drill when it's not
:
00:49:39,499 --> 00:49:39,579
a
:
00:49:39,632 --> 00:49:40,224
Kay: drill Hell
:
00:49:40,539 --> 00:49:42,239
Khaki: Which is a waste of time.
:
00:49:42,493 --> 00:49:42,993
Kay: Yes.
:
00:49:43,197 --> 00:49:43,677
Khaki: Right?
:
00:49:43,677 --> 00:49:45,998
Wouldn't you want people to know that
it's not a drill when they hear the
:
00:49:46,230 --> 00:49:46,493
Kay: alarm?
:
00:49:46,493 --> 00:49:49,654
I guess it's I mean, I can
understand why it's done.
:
00:49:49,794 --> 00:49:51,334
Because a lot of the time,
:
00:49:51,873 --> 00:49:55,233
especially when the training drills
happen much more often than the real
:
00:49:55,233 --> 00:49:59,793
ones, People are going to be likely to
assume that it is yet another training
:
00:50:00,023 --> 00:50:00,318
Khaki: drill.
:
00:50:00,698 --> 00:50:00,938
Right.
:
00:50:00,938 --> 00:50:04,778
But then shouldn't you make it clear that
the training drills are training drills?
:
00:50:04,778 --> 00:50:06,043
Because The brain cell?
:
00:50:06,043 --> 00:50:07,153
Everybody's gonna know when it's
a training drill because you
:
00:50:07,153 --> 00:50:09,013
don't hear this is not a drill.
:
00:50:09,073 --> 00:50:11,173
So why not give the training
drills a different alarm?
:
00:50:11,233 --> 00:50:11,633
Yeah.
:
00:50:11,633 --> 00:50:14,053
What I'm saying is we need to
have seventy different alarms.
:
00:50:14,193 --> 00:50:16,327
So this one is Slightly less stressful.
:
00:50:16,327 --> 00:50:17,868
It's maybe a little bit more relaxed.
:
00:50:17,928 --> 00:50:20,348
Maybe it's oh, here's a fun one, chief.
:
00:50:20,408 --> 00:50:24,267
How about a combination of one of these
alarms and your softcore porn music?
:
00:50:24,883 --> 00:50:27,623
Kay: What is it with your obsession
with softcore porn music recently?
:
00:50:27,833 --> 00:50:29,033
Khaki: Chief Greg doesn't no.
:
00:50:29,033 --> 00:50:30,153
He just does great
:
00:50:30,329 --> 00:50:31,043
Kay: softcore porn No.
:
00:50:31,043 --> 00:50:31,283
I know.
:
00:50:31,283 --> 00:50:31,363
I
:
00:50:31,433 --> 00:50:32,073
Khaki: our podcast.
:
00:50:32,073 --> 00:50:32,713
I'm a huge
:
00:50:32,838 --> 00:50:33,078
Kay: Bad.
:
00:50:33,078 --> 00:50:33,238
No.
:
00:50:33,238 --> 00:50:33,478
No.
:
00:50:33,478 --> 00:50:33,958
I agree.
:
00:50:33,958 --> 00:50:34,618
I was
:
00:50:38,567 --> 00:50:38,648
Khaki: Oh,
:
00:50:38,648 --> 00:50:38,888
wait.
:
00:50:38,888 --> 00:50:39,368
That could be
:
00:50:39,446 --> 00:50:39,898
Kay: it.
:
00:50:42,043 --> 00:50:43,083
Khaki: This is really cool.
:
00:50:43,083 --> 00:50:47,063
I love the sort of handheld, filming that
enterprise gets to do very often because
:
00:50:47,063 --> 00:50:50,457
it has such excellent, onset lighting
that everyone can just walk around.
:
00:50:50,457 --> 00:50:52,937
You can point the camera
anywhere, and people will walk
:
00:50:52,999 --> 00:50:54,120
into interesting lighting.
:
00:50:54,315 --> 00:50:57,055
Uh, and so we just have this the scene
where everyone's sort of complaining
:
00:50:57,115 --> 00:51:00,395
about this noise, and very quickly, it
passes out of their brain, and they're
:
00:51:00,395 --> 00:51:01,595
back to obsessing about their own
:
00:51:01,673 --> 00:51:02,135
Kay: thing Yep.
:
00:51:02,135 --> 00:51:02,335
Uh
:
00:51:02,395 --> 00:51:02,875
Khaki: And blaming
:
00:51:02,875 --> 00:51:04,095
each other for not caring.
:
00:51:04,140 --> 00:51:06,640
Kay: And actually come it
actually comes to blows.
:
00:51:07,149 --> 00:51:09,419
You ignored a Tactical Alert for this?
:
00:51:10,269 --> 00:51:11,339
I want to run some colours by you
:
00:51:11,339 --> 00:51:12,019
for the headrest.
:
00:51:12,129 --> 00:51:13,759
This is all a big joke to you!
:
00:51:14,039 --> 00:51:14,789
- Give it a rest!
:
00:51:15,256 --> 00:51:16,797
- Khaki: Archer has to come between them.
:
00:51:16,857 --> 00:51:19,111
he blocks, a a a trip up against the wall.
:
00:51:20,576 --> 00:51:22,916
Kay: get this this preface finished.
:
00:51:24,686 --> 00:51:25,186
Khaki: Yep.
:
00:51:25,246 --> 00:51:28,446
And he tells to Paul, like, unless
there's a real emergency, like a reactor
:
00:51:28,446 --> 00:51:29,921
failure, I don't wanna be disturbed.
:
00:51:30,081 --> 00:51:31,141
Kay: Because preface.
:
00:51:31,548 --> 00:51:35,303
Khaki: he's sitting in his
room alone Sort of grumbly.
:
00:51:35,653 --> 00:51:37,219
and, of course, DePaul comes in
:
00:51:37,343 --> 00:51:38,643
Do I have to start locking my door?
:
00:51:38,973 --> 00:51:40,333
Khaki: And she's trying to tell him
:
00:51:40,713 --> 00:51:41,763
Kay: There is an emergency.
:
00:51:42,028 --> 00:51:42,528
Khaki: Yeah.
:
00:51:42,588 --> 00:51:44,814
The crew, he won't listen.
:
00:51:44,874 --> 00:51:47,914
But he he also has the same
situation that I talked about before.
:
00:51:47,914 --> 00:51:48,794
Like, she's explaining.
:
00:51:48,794 --> 00:51:49,034
Okay?
:
00:51:49,034 --> 00:51:51,076
Everybody's obsessing
with trivial matters.
:
00:51:51,076 --> 00:51:53,636
It's one particular thing that
everyone's everyone's doing.
:
00:51:53,636 --> 00:51:54,856
And for you, it's your preface.
:
00:51:55,156 --> 00:51:58,091
And for a second, like,
he's he sees her point.
:
00:51:58,171 --> 00:51:58,571
You can see it
:
00:51:58,571 --> 00:51:59,451
on his face.
:
00:51:59,451 --> 00:52:02,571
He recognizes her, and it
sort of glances off his mind.
:
00:52:02,571 --> 00:52:03,931
He he can't hold on to it.
:
00:52:04,181 --> 00:52:04,841
Kay: I'm busy.
:
00:52:05,221 --> 00:52:05,941
Go away.
:
00:52:05,941 --> 00:52:07,041
He kicks her out.
:
00:52:07,896 --> 00:52:08,216
Khaki: Brilliant.
:
00:52:08,526 --> 00:52:09,506
Kay: True's in danger,
:
00:52:09,646 --> 00:52:12,446
and he goes like, well, yeah.
:
00:52:12,446 --> 00:52:13,746
Now you're out.
:
00:52:13,806 --> 00:52:14,606
Stay out.
:
00:52:14,606 --> 00:52:17,361
Otherwise, I will have
you kicked off the ship.
:
00:52:18,121 --> 00:52:21,501
I'll call a call to the nearest Vulcan
ship, and they can come take you away.
:
00:52:21,951 --> 00:52:24,191
Khaki: So to Paul, uh,
she does the right thing.
:
00:52:24,191 --> 00:52:25,471
Like, first, she goes to the captain.
:
00:52:25,471 --> 00:52:27,216
The captain is not to lead the ship?
:
00:52:27,216 --> 00:52:27,536
No.
:
00:52:27,536 --> 00:52:30,196
So we go to the medical officer
who's the only person on board.
:
00:52:30,816 --> 00:52:32,176
Uh, well
:
00:52:32,274 --> 00:52:33,301
Kay: I'm pretty sure that, like
:
00:52:33,456 --> 00:52:34,976
Khaki: As a first officer,
she'd be able to do
:
00:52:34,976 --> 00:52:35,296
it.
:
00:52:35,296 --> 00:52:35,631
Yes.
:
00:52:35,871 --> 00:52:38,304
But much more rational path, I guess.
:
00:52:38,399 --> 00:52:39,319
Kay: Would be to get yeah.
:
00:52:39,319 --> 00:52:41,094
to get the doctor to confirm, at least.
:
00:52:41,481 --> 00:52:41,746
Khaki: Yeah.
:
00:52:41,746 --> 00:52:44,146
Because this is not so much
about, like, he's he's unfit
:
00:52:44,146 --> 00:52:45,266
or he's making bad decisions.
:
00:52:45,266 --> 00:52:46,266
Like, he's
:
00:52:46,544 --> 00:52:46,821
Kay: ill.
:
00:52:46,821 --> 00:52:47,321
Yeah.
:
00:52:47,461 --> 00:52:50,921
Flock is delighted that DePaul has
come to help him perform the surgery.
:
00:52:51,798 --> 00:52:51,868
you.
:
00:52:51,868 --> 00:52:53,918
You're just in time, Subcommander.
:
00:52:54,468 --> 00:52:55,378
There's a surgical gown
:
00:52:55,378 --> 00:52:56,778
in the compartment by the microscope.
:
00:52:57,578 --> 00:52:58,778
This is a rare opportunity
:
00:52:58,778 --> 00:53:00,018
to explore the human brain.
:
00:53:00,528 --> 00:53:01,268
Kay: Ah, yes.
:
00:53:02,438 --> 00:53:04,458
Khaki: Grab the head clamped
and the skullcracker.
:
00:53:04,918 --> 00:53:06,218
There's a there's an extra
:
00:53:06,843 --> 00:53:09,483
Kay: I'm going to re extracting
the first twelve millimeters
:
00:53:09,483 --> 00:53:11,298
of his per parietal lobe.
:
00:53:11,618 --> 00:53:12,658
Peri perithel lobe.
:
00:53:12,813 --> 00:53:13,313
Khaki: Parietal
:
00:53:13,373 --> 00:53:14,593
lobe, I think it's pronounced.
:
00:53:14,658 --> 00:53:15,158
Kay: Parietal
:
00:53:15,538 --> 00:53:15,698
lobe.
:
00:53:15,878 --> 00:53:21,158
Khaki: I'm intrigued by how does Phlox
put on his gown when the buttons are off
:
00:53:21,181 --> 00:53:21,663
Kay: back?
:
00:53:21,723 --> 00:53:22,703
Uh, very cleverly.
:
00:53:27,693 --> 00:53:28,673
Khaki: Moving on.
:
00:53:29,358 --> 00:53:30,798
Kay: Maybe he's just quite flexible.
:
00:53:30,798 --> 00:53:34,238
I can, like, pretty much reach
every part of my back with my hands.
:
00:53:34,358 --> 00:53:35,578
Khaki: Because you tie buttons?
:
00:53:35,998 --> 00:53:37,448
Kay: Well, that would be more difficult.
:
00:53:37,718 --> 00:53:38,118
Khaki: Even if
:
00:53:38,203 --> 00:53:39,618
Kay: Maybe magnetic snaps?
:
00:53:39,833 --> 00:53:42,073
Khaki: All the way from the bump
to the the the top of the neck?
:
00:53:42,073 --> 00:53:42,393
I guess
:
00:53:42,603 --> 00:53:42,978
Kay: snaps.
:
00:53:44,106 --> 00:53:44,943
But, uh,
:
00:53:45,083 --> 00:53:45,583
Yes.
:
00:53:46,278 --> 00:53:49,958
She he's, like, about to cut into him,
and she just, like, stays his hand, and
:
00:53:49,958 --> 00:53:52,698
he's like gives this really threatening
:
00:53:53,097 --> 00:53:54,147
Please remove your hand.
:
00:53:55,587 --> 00:53:56,737
I won't ask you again.
:
00:53:57,168 --> 00:53:58,288
Khaki: He says while holding a
:
00:53:58,421 --> 00:53:58,783
Kay: scalpel.
:
00:53:58,783 --> 00:53:59,283
Yes.
:
00:53:59,751 --> 00:54:00,228
Sure.
:
00:54:00,228 --> 00:54:00,548
Alright.
:
00:54:00,548 --> 00:54:02,293
I'll go and neck pinches him out.
:
00:54:02,758 --> 00:54:03,258
Khaki: Yay.
:
00:54:03,994 --> 00:54:05,774
then just sort of looks away.
:
00:54:05,854 --> 00:54:06,174
Kay: Yeah.
:
00:54:06,174 --> 00:54:06,894
Wanders off.
:
00:54:07,749 --> 00:54:10,401
Khaki: she sees what, he had on
his overhead scanning screen.
:
00:54:10,481 --> 00:54:12,901
She sees the elevated hormonal levels.
:
00:54:13,582 --> 00:54:15,442
Kay: And she is back to her microblogging.
:
00:54:16,778 --> 00:54:18,658
Ironically, Dr Phlox's obsession
:
00:54:18,658 --> 00:54:20,008
with Ensign Mayweather's headache...
:
00:54:20,008 --> 00:54:21,498
has provided some useful data.
:
00:54:22,038 --> 00:54:23,148
His cerebral scans
:
00:54:23,148 --> 00:54:24,398
have helped me determine that...
:
00:54:24,448 --> 00:54:25,498
the radiation coming
:
00:54:25,498 --> 00:54:27,088
from the trinary system is causing...
:
00:54:28,479 --> 00:54:28,639
Khaki: Oh,
:
00:54:28,639 --> 00:54:31,219
she's wandering through the ship
and finding everyone unconscious,
:
00:54:31,279 --> 00:54:33,999
which at first, I thought, has
she just been neck pinching
:
00:54:34,244 --> 00:54:34,564
Kay: Things?
:
00:54:34,564 --> 00:54:34,724
Yeah.
:
00:54:34,724 --> 00:54:38,724
So I thought I thought, like, I'm trying
to make our way to the maybe that's
:
00:54:38,724 --> 00:54:39,864
your deleted scene.
:
00:54:40,244 --> 00:54:41,204
Khaki: That kind of was.
:
00:54:41,204 --> 00:54:42,759
I'm giving you a little preview of it.
:
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,880
She walks into the kitchen, finds
Hoshi slumped and a and a pan boiling
:
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,479
over, which she does not turn off.
:
00:54:47,479 --> 00:54:47,880
Hey.
:
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,959
That's that's a bad thing to do.
:
00:54:49,959 --> 00:54:52,853
You're it's cool that you got
automated suppression systems,
:
00:54:52,853 --> 00:54:53,813
but don't rely on them.
:
00:54:53,813 --> 00:54:55,833
Turn a cooking pan off
when it's unattended.
:
00:54:56,083 --> 00:54:57,763
Kay: Uh, and she starts, like, okay.
:
00:54:57,763 --> 00:55:02,362
She starts to realize that it is The
radiation from the black hole which
:
00:55:02,362 --> 00:55:08,207
is doing this, and also realizing that
she can't They'll turn the ship around.
:
00:55:08,207 --> 00:55:08,367
Yeah.
:
00:55:08,367 --> 00:55:10,227
Because It'll take two
more days of radiation,
:
00:55:10,695 --> 00:55:10,935
Khaki: Yep.
:
00:55:10,935 --> 00:55:12,267
Because the field is asymmetrical.
:
00:55:12,267 --> 00:55:14,822
It's being projected in the
direction that they that came from.
:
00:55:14,902 --> 00:55:15,802
But Yeah.
:
00:55:15,942 --> 00:55:19,722
If she can thread the needle and get
the ship in between this incredibly
:
00:55:19,782 --> 00:55:21,062
tumultuous gravitational system
:
00:55:21,537 --> 00:55:24,250
Kay: there's a direction in which
the radiation is not being flung.
:
00:55:24,571 --> 00:55:25,590
Khaki: she can't fly that alone.
:
00:55:25,590 --> 00:55:28,160
She needs to study environment in
order to be able to set course,
:
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:29,760
and somebody has to pilot the ship.
:
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,898
And it can't be Travis,
because he's been anesthetized.
:
00:55:32,961 --> 00:55:33,413
Kay: time.
:
00:55:33,413 --> 00:55:33,913
Yes.
:
00:55:35,036 --> 00:55:36,716
Khaki: and so she goes back to,
:
00:55:36,976 --> 00:55:37,216
Kay: to
:
00:55:37,216 --> 00:55:38,196
Archer Yep.
:
00:55:38,716 --> 00:55:41,534
Khaki: Who's very groggy on on
the side of unconsciousness.
:
00:55:41,594 --> 00:55:44,989
And, like, Did you figure
out what she was going to do?
:
00:55:44,989 --> 00:55:49,809
Because she's she's just grabbing
him and plunking him into the shower.
:
00:55:50,074 --> 00:55:54,068
Kay: Well, I mean, I think we've we've
probably seen the shower design at first,
:
00:55:54,068 --> 00:55:58,888
but, uh, when she was, like, Manhandling
him around into the shower cabin.
:
00:55:59,273 --> 00:56:02,119
It reminded me of, like
we have in Amsterdam.
:
00:56:02,259 --> 00:56:04,439
There are public toilet facilities
:
00:56:05,199 --> 00:56:05,679
Khaki: Uh, yes.
:
00:56:05,838 --> 00:56:06,544
the curl.
:
00:56:06,544 --> 00:56:06,699
Yes.
:
00:56:06,878 --> 00:56:11,244
Kay: Or a p curl if you want to, uh, call
it, which is, yeah, basically a kinda like
:
00:56:11,944 --> 00:56:16,630
spirally shaped, piece of sheet stamped
sheet metal, Uh, are sitting on legs.
:
00:56:16,815 --> 00:56:20,095
Uh, And you can just kinda kinda
walk in there and, like, pee and then
:
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:20,680
Khaki: Yep.
:
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,600
For those of us who were
are equipped to pee standing
:
00:56:22,663 --> 00:56:23,135
Kay: up Yes.
:
00:56:23,215 --> 00:56:23,375
As,
:
00:56:23,435 --> 00:56:25,675
Khaki: uh, as people in Amsterdam
have been doing for a thousand
:
00:56:25,797 --> 00:56:26,095
Kay: years.
:
00:56:26,095 --> 00:56:26,440
Right.
:
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,620
Also used for illicit encounters.
:
00:56:29,595 --> 00:56:30,335
Khaki: Is it?
:
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:33,600
It's it's awful cramped, and you
can still count the number of
:
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:33,920
legs.
:
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:34,160
Yes.
:
00:56:34,315 --> 00:56:36,154
Kay: Well, but it was
still apparently in use?
:
00:56:36,154 --> 00:56:37,205
Like, there's a
:
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:38,020
Khaki: Alright.
:
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:38,900
Well,
:
00:56:39,545 --> 00:56:40,425
Uh, there's a time and a
:
00:56:40,425 --> 00:56:40,825
place.
:
00:56:40,825 --> 00:56:41,145
Yeah.
:
00:56:41,145 --> 00:56:43,225
And, apparently, this is
now the time of the place.
:
00:56:43,225 --> 00:56:43,465
Yeah.
:
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:43,840
Kay: guess.
:
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:44,320
But it's no.
:
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:44,560
No.
:
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,980
She's just she puts him in
the shower, turns it on.
:
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,600
Khaki: I see what you mean because
it does have the I don't know.
:
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,356
It's almost like a croissant wrap because
the the the sheet does sort of decrease
:
00:56:54,356 --> 00:56:58,501
in length as it, widens, so Increasing
in privacy as you get toward the center
:
00:56:58,566 --> 00:57:01,306
Kay: It is it it it it
is very suitable for,
:
00:57:01,310 --> 00:57:02,406
Khaki: For having a pee in
:
00:57:02,851 --> 00:57:03,171
Kay: Right.
:
00:57:03,171 --> 00:57:06,451
But, also, I was gonna say for,
Like having a, uh, a shower
:
00:57:06,451 --> 00:57:09,131
cubicle where you can get a
still get a long range shot into.
:
00:57:10,056 --> 00:57:10,616
Was it like
:
00:57:10,961 --> 00:57:13,841
Khaki: A long range shot
into what are you talking
:
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:14,216
Kay: about?
:
00:57:14,216 --> 00:57:15,176
For a camera crew.
:
00:57:15,176 --> 00:57:16,671
So it's like it's it's perfect.
:
00:57:16,671 --> 00:57:16,831
for,
:
00:57:17,201 --> 00:57:17,521
Khaki: Oh.
:
00:57:17,551 --> 00:57:18,611
Kay: someone In the shower.
:
00:57:18,776 --> 00:57:19,736
Khaki: Oh, yes.
:
00:57:19,736 --> 00:57:20,056
That's
:
00:57:20,133 --> 00:57:20,271
Kay: right.
:
00:57:20,271 --> 00:57:23,551
I was approaching the Shower design
not from its functionality as a
:
00:57:23,551 --> 00:57:26,986
shower, but the requirements that
it being a a movie set uh, come
:
00:57:26,986 --> 00:57:27,381
with.
:
00:57:27,461 --> 00:57:29,001
Khaki: I understand that now.
:
00:57:29,301 --> 00:57:33,941
I also know that you are a marksman
and a teacher in marksmanship.
:
00:57:33,941 --> 00:57:36,706
So a long range shot into his
Jared cubicle, My mind goes
:
00:57:36,706 --> 00:57:37,926
to you in different places.
:
00:57:38,546 --> 00:57:38,786
K.
:
00:57:38,786 --> 00:57:39,826
So I'm very glad to hear it.
:
00:57:39,826 --> 00:57:43,746
But, yes, she just sort of muscles
him into the shower and props him
:
00:57:43,746 --> 00:57:46,321
up and then goes Outside, which is
where the temperature controls are
:
00:57:46,341 --> 00:57:46,776
Kay: are Yeah.
:
00:57:46,961 --> 00:57:47,461
Khaki: Apparently.
:
00:57:48,001 --> 00:57:51,201
and she blasts him with cold water, and
she hands him a thermos that she brought
:
00:57:51,201 --> 00:57:53,281
from his own desk with apparently terrible
:
00:57:53,681 --> 00:57:54,181
Kay: Yeah.
:
00:57:54,321 --> 00:57:54,801
That's right.
:
00:57:54,801 --> 00:57:55,351
It's tea.
:
00:57:56,996 --> 00:57:58,421
Khaki: to shake him out of it.
:
00:57:59,556 --> 00:58:02,756
aNd she's she's got her hand
pressed up to the glass, almost like
:
00:58:03,001 --> 00:58:05,481
Kay: Again, we have another
reminiscing of the scene between
:
00:58:05,481 --> 00:58:07,081
so, Spock and let her go.
:
00:58:07,081 --> 00:58:07,581
Yes.
:
00:58:07,721 --> 00:58:07,961
I
:
00:58:07,961 --> 00:58:08,861
noticed that.
:
00:58:09,001 --> 00:58:10,281
I was thinking that as well.
:
00:58:10,281 --> 00:58:11,821
That was exactly the
:
00:58:12,506 --> 00:58:15,166
I I'm convinced that that's
what they were going for.
:
00:58:15,386 --> 00:58:18,753
Khaki: And I think it's really valid,
because you can see Archer sort of
:
00:58:18,753 --> 00:58:22,078
struggling through, like, yeah, Nobody
loves being doused in in cold water.
:
00:58:22,078 --> 00:58:22,318
Yeah.
:
00:58:22,318 --> 00:58:25,218
But it is helping him
think a little straighter.
:
00:58:25,638 --> 00:58:28,418
I mean, probably a phlox
was, uh, corpus mentus.
:
00:58:28,623 --> 00:58:31,763
He'd be able to prescribe
something very sensible, but Yes.
:
00:58:31,983 --> 00:58:34,703
She's doing the right thing and
not just randomly guessing some
:
00:58:34,762 --> 00:58:35,083
Kay: something.
:
00:58:35,223 --> 00:58:35,463
No.
:
00:58:35,463 --> 00:58:39,518
Especially especially in Floxx's
laboratory I would not to Take that risk.
:
00:58:39,658 --> 00:58:41,418
Um, she tells him yeah.
:
00:58:41,418 --> 00:58:43,838
It'll take seventeen
minutes to get this done.
:
00:58:44,378 --> 00:58:45,508
Uh, That's all I need.
:
00:58:45,941 --> 00:58:46,451
Travis.
:
00:58:46,561 --> 00:58:47,531
- He's been sedated.
:
00:58:51,961 --> 00:58:56,291
I'm in no condition to fly a starship.
:
00:58:57,691 --> 00:58:58,911
We have no other choice.
:
00:58:58,911 --> 00:58:59,061
More
:
00:58:59,838 --> 00:59:00,158
Khaki: And he
:
00:59:00,158 --> 00:59:02,878
pulls it together just like
he did in a night in sick bay.
:
00:59:03,018 --> 00:59:07,658
even at his worst, Archer pulls it
together, straps himself into the seat.
:
00:59:08,108 --> 00:59:09,568
Kay: And starts flying.
:
00:59:10,333 --> 00:59:13,503
I feel like I'm in flight school again.
:
00:59:14,393 --> 00:59:15,333
You're doing well.
:
00:59:15,343 --> 00:59:15,353
New heading: 006
:
00:59:15,618 --> 00:59:21,223
Kay: because he's getting his bearings
wrong And his, uh, His readbacks to, uh,
:
00:59:21,363 --> 00:59:25,443
to Paul are incorrect, and then he's,
like, kinda just drifting off anywhere.
:
00:59:25,523 --> 00:59:26,343
Khaki: really like that.
:
00:59:26,978 --> 00:59:29,298
Because, see, you know, it starts
off with we're too far to port.
:
00:59:29,298 --> 00:59:29,378
Hey.
:
00:59:29,378 --> 00:59:30,178
You said two point four.
:
00:59:30,178 --> 00:59:30,338
No.
:
00:59:30,338 --> 00:59:30,818
I said twelve
:
00:59:31,052 --> 00:59:31,438
Kay: four.
:
00:59:31,438 --> 00:59:31,998
Oh, My bad.
:
00:59:31,998 --> 00:59:32,478
Yeah.
:
00:59:32,498 --> 00:59:34,338
Khaki: he gets it right,
and he and he focuses on it.
:
00:59:34,338 --> 00:59:36,773
And you can see how how
difficult it is him?
:
00:59:36,773 --> 00:59:38,737
Like, he's really struggling to hold on.
:
00:59:39,296 --> 00:59:41,008
and she says you're doing great.
:
00:59:41,548 --> 00:59:44,853
Kay: Until he doesn't because she
goes way off course, and there's
:
00:59:44,853 --> 00:59:47,936
this massive rock out outside
the front screen then it's Like,
:
00:59:48,042 --> 00:59:49,492
New heading: We need phase cannons.
:
00:59:49,872 --> 00:59:51,432
- They'd take too long to charge.
:
00:59:51,837 --> 00:59:52,237
Khaki: Wait.
:
00:59:52,237 --> 00:59:52,637
Hold on.
:
00:59:52,637 --> 00:59:53,437
The phaser banks are
:
00:59:53,627 --> 00:59:53,987
Kay: charge.
:
00:59:53,987 --> 00:59:54,227
Yeah.
:
00:59:54,227 --> 00:59:54,547
Because
:
00:59:54,867 --> 00:59:55,447
whoop whoop.
:
00:59:55,757 --> 00:59:56,207
Khaki: Yep.
:
00:59:56,999 --> 00:59:57,545
Kay: yellow alert.
:
00:59:57,881 --> 01:00:01,081
Khaki: had already set red alert
to be triggered by a a significant
:
01:00:01,081 --> 01:00:02,441
impact on the hull Right.
:
01:00:02,521 --> 01:00:03,401
Like they've had.
:
01:00:03,401 --> 01:00:07,850
So It has already been charged and came
online, now they can blast it apart.
:
01:00:07,850 --> 01:00:11,370
I talked about how, uh, you know,
dated the the the graphics look.
:
01:00:11,370 --> 01:00:12,125
I don't care.
:
01:00:12,205 --> 01:00:16,125
It's so cool, especially this this
handheld shot of, like, the the view
:
01:00:16,125 --> 01:00:17,405
screen where you're looking outside.
:
01:00:17,405 --> 01:00:21,045
It almost looks like, you know,
modern view screens on, on modern Star
:
01:00:21,045 --> 01:00:22,985
Trek, also windows and magnifiers.
:
01:00:23,605 --> 01:00:26,265
Uh, so you get a real
sense of space and place.
:
01:00:27,260 --> 01:00:28,140
I need to hold on.
:
01:00:28,140 --> 01:00:29,660
We need it we need another six minutes.
:
01:00:29,660 --> 01:00:29,980
Okay.
:
01:00:29,980 --> 01:00:31,420
I'm good for six, he he
:
01:00:31,554 --> 01:00:31,820
Kay: said.
:
01:00:31,820 --> 01:00:32,700
Not entirely, but
:
01:00:34,327 --> 01:00:35,167
New heading: How much longer?
:
01:00:37,047 --> 01:00:38,217
Less than 10 seconds.
:
01:00:38,866 --> 01:00:40,731
Kay: Finally, nothing more on sensors.
:
01:00:41,729 --> 01:00:42,986
Khaki: And people start waking up.
:
01:00:42,986 --> 01:00:43,486
Yep.
:
01:00:43,626 --> 01:00:46,286
Tripp, who was on the
bridge for whatever reason.
:
01:00:46,641 --> 01:00:47,361
Kay: He was probably just
:
01:00:47,361 --> 01:00:49,441
Like, where doing some
wiring for the chair.
:
01:00:50,671 --> 01:00:51,471
Khaki: Oh, yeah.
:
01:00:51,471 --> 01:00:52,191
Oh, maybe.
:
01:00:52,191 --> 01:00:52,591
Maybe.
:
01:00:52,591 --> 01:00:53,091
Yeah.
:
01:00:53,466 --> 01:00:54,906
Kay: Oh, I I love his first comment.
:
01:00:54,906 --> 01:00:55,066
It's
:
01:00:55,066 --> 01:00:55,226
Like,
:
01:00:55,456 --> 01:00:56,736
New heading: Did we get some nice pictures
:
01:00:56,736 --> 01:00:57,626
of the black hole?
:
01:00:58,317 --> 01:00:58,637
Khaki: Yeah.
:
01:00:58,637 --> 01:00:59,837
Because that's where he started
:
01:00:59,837 --> 01:01:00,157
with.
:
01:01:01,437 --> 01:01:03,757
Like, everybody's mind is
functioning again, and you can
:
01:01:03,757 --> 01:01:05,137
have more than one thought.
:
01:01:05,563 --> 01:01:08,046
doctor Flock's sickbay is is pretty busy.
:
01:01:08,181 --> 01:01:11,541
Kay: Because Everybody's coming by to
check, uh, especially from the bumps and
:
01:01:11,541 --> 01:01:14,281
bruises they got while, uh, falling over.
:
01:01:14,611 --> 01:01:18,311
Khaki: You can see that he's pretty
uneasy with what he's done, but he's
:
01:01:18,611 --> 01:01:20,371
correctly hyper focusing on treating
:
01:01:20,386 --> 01:01:21,285
Kay: the Yes.
:
01:01:21,933 --> 01:01:23,793
New heading: I appreciate your intervening
:
01:01:23,803 --> 01:01:25,503
before I got any further...
:
01:01:25,503 --> 01:01:27,473
with Mr Mayweather's procedure.
:
01:01:28,033 --> 01:01:29,313
I wasn't certain it would work
:
01:01:29,313 --> 01:01:30,933
on a Denobulan.
:
01:01:30,953 --> 01:01:32,023
It worked quite effectively,
:
01:01:32,023 --> 01:01:32,713
I can assure you.
:
01:01:33,183 --> 01:01:35,223
What procedure on Mr Mayweather?
:
01:01:36,082 --> 01:01:37,301
Kay: it'll be my report.
:
01:01:37,932 --> 01:01:38,242
yeah, Yeah.
:
01:01:38,242 --> 01:01:38,402
Yeah.
:
01:01:38,562 --> 01:01:39,202
to report that,
:
01:01:39,202 --> 01:01:39,281
Yeah.
:
01:01:39,332 --> 01:01:39,812
Khaki: he knows?
:
01:01:39,812 --> 01:01:43,362
he well, you know, if he's held
responsible for this that may very well
:
01:01:43,362 --> 01:01:46,342
be a court martial or an investigation,
and that would all be justified.
:
01:01:46,477 --> 01:01:47,757
He's going to face that?
:
01:01:47,757 --> 01:01:48,940
The first the crew.
:
01:01:48,940 --> 01:01:51,181
I really respected and,
:
01:01:51,321 --> 01:01:53,916
oh, I like that, Archer calls Reid
:
01:01:54,656 --> 01:01:55,296
In for
:
01:01:55,296 --> 01:01:56,116
a for a conversation.
:
01:01:56,576 --> 01:01:57,616
Uh, it says, okay.
:
01:01:57,616 --> 01:02:00,256
You you implemented all these
things without without approval.
:
01:02:00,256 --> 01:02:00,496
Yes.
:
01:02:00,496 --> 01:02:01,456
I've already removed them.
:
01:02:01,456 --> 01:02:01,906
Oh.
:
01:02:02,031 --> 01:02:03,631
Kay: Well, I think they're a good idea.
:
01:02:03,631 --> 01:02:04,431
Khaki: Put them back Yeah.
:
01:02:04,591 --> 01:02:06,671
Because those weapons came
online right when we needed
:
01:02:06,784 --> 01:02:06,991
Kay: them.
:
01:02:06,991 --> 01:02:08,191
But for god's sake, man.
:
01:02:08,191 --> 01:02:09,091
Change the alarm.
:
01:02:12,676 --> 01:02:14,436
Khaki: And he says,
I'll get right on that.
:
01:02:14,436 --> 01:02:16,836
And then he hyper focuses
just for normal reasons.
:
01:02:16,836 --> 01:02:17,076
Right?
:
01:02:17,076 --> 01:02:18,436
Just for just normal people
:
01:02:18,901 --> 01:02:19,460
Kay: As it should.
:
01:02:19,460 --> 01:02:22,341
We get the, the final scene in
where the chair is put back and
:
01:02:22,341 --> 01:02:24,821
the captain and archer is like,
oh, It just looks just the same.
:
01:02:24,821 --> 01:02:26,100
Oh, that sits very good.
:
01:02:26,100 --> 01:02:26,901
Oh, this is nice.
:
01:02:26,901 --> 01:02:27,140
Yeah.
:
01:02:27,140 --> 01:02:27,221
I'm
:
01:02:27,366 --> 01:02:28,086
Khaki: so smug about it.
:
01:02:28,086 --> 01:02:28,246
No.
:
01:02:28,246 --> 01:02:29,526
Just just give it a try.
:
01:02:29,526 --> 01:02:30,406
Just cross your legs.
:
01:02:30,406 --> 01:02:31,046
I said, wow.
:
01:02:31,046 --> 01:02:31,926
It's like a completely
:
01:02:31,926 --> 01:02:32,166
different
:
01:02:32,199 --> 01:02:32,366
Kay: shape.
:
01:02:32,366 --> 01:02:35,426
Which apparently is
also a, uh, a reference.
:
01:02:36,281 --> 01:02:36,921
Khaki: OH, yeah.
:
01:02:36,921 --> 01:02:37,421
Kirk.
:
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:39,040
Like the
:
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,928
Kay: how Kirk always sits in the chair.
:
01:02:41,229 --> 01:02:44,769
Khaki: Leading sideways like a
nineteen fifties talk show host.
:
01:02:45,478 --> 01:02:46,198
New heading: What did you do?
:
01:02:46,318 --> 01:02:48,948
It seems totally different.
:
01:02:50,638 --> 01:02:51,208
I lowered it...
:
01:02:52,798 --> 01:02:53,248
by one centimetre.
:
01:02:54,076 --> 01:02:56,257
Khaki: That's all it sometimes takes.
:
01:02:56,472 --> 01:02:57,592
But, yes, you're right.
:
01:02:57,592 --> 01:02:58,472
It's still too high.
:
01:02:58,472 --> 01:03:00,077
Like, his heels barely touched the floor.
:
01:03:00,563 --> 01:03:01,943
Kay: and then one more.
:
01:03:02,323 --> 01:03:02,823
thing.
:
01:03:03,348 --> 01:03:06,708
Archer walks up to the pole
with his data pad and hey.
:
01:03:06,708 --> 01:03:07,429
How does this sound.
:
01:03:07,429 --> 01:03:08,708
It's like we go Yeah.
:
01:03:08,708 --> 01:03:09,188
Because it's
:
01:03:09,833 --> 01:03:12,173
Khaki: Because it's you know, even
though it's not a hyperfixation,
:
01:03:12,343 --> 01:03:12,983
Kay: it's still
:
01:03:13,113 --> 01:03:14,973
Khaki: still one of
the tasks on your mind.
:
01:03:15,433 --> 01:03:17,133
Oh, I love this episode.
:
01:03:18,188 --> 01:03:21,708
I mean, I'm kind of into just only
watching enterprise episodes where
:
01:03:21,708 --> 01:03:23,088
everybody acts out of character.
:
01:03:23,308 --> 01:03:24,908
Maybe that's gonna be
our pattern for a while.
:
01:03:24,908 --> 01:03:25,788
We'll see how that goes
:
01:03:25,923 --> 01:03:26,883
Kay: the, Well, let's see.
:
01:03:26,883 --> 01:03:29,909
There's actually, there's one
more thing that, uh, we have here.
:
01:03:29,909 --> 01:03:32,915
That the episode, uh, this episode
had the team of the Star crew being
:
01:03:32,915 --> 01:03:34,355
affected by a phenomenon which makes
:
01:03:34,355 --> 01:03:35,955
everyone on the ship
lose emotional control
:
01:03:36,195 --> 01:03:36,395
Yes.
:
01:03:36,595 --> 01:03:38,275
Completely grinding efficiency to a halt.
:
01:03:38,275 --> 01:03:41,810
This team has been used several
times previously whether treated
:
01:03:41,870 --> 01:03:43,890
tragically or comically by the script.
:
01:03:44,110 --> 01:03:47,310
Examples include but are not limited
to The Naked Time, nineteen sixty
:
01:03:47,310 --> 01:03:49,150
six The Naked Now, nineteen eighty
:
01:03:49,150 --> 01:03:53,275
seven, Saric, nineteen ninety, and
Fascination in nineteen ninety four.
:
01:03:53,275 --> 01:03:55,755
So I guess the first
two of those were sorry.
:
01:03:55,755 --> 01:03:58,010
the first one is original
series and the two would
:
01:03:59,370 --> 01:03:59,870
the
:
01:04:00,170 --> 01:04:02,490
next generation fascinations,
or is that a d s nine?
:
01:04:02,660 --> 01:04:03,460
Khaki: That's DS nine.
:
01:04:03,460 --> 01:04:06,020
That's where, uh, Loxana
Troy arrives on the ship and
:
01:04:06,020 --> 01:04:07,300
starts projecting her emotions
:
01:04:07,505 --> 01:04:08,425
Kay: Oh, yes.
:
01:04:08,739 --> 01:04:09,239
Khaki: unintentionally.
:
01:04:10,339 --> 01:04:11,715
Sarek was a very good one.
:
01:04:11,715 --> 01:04:15,322
that's where, uh, uh, Sarek is
suffering from Bandai Syndrome, and
:
01:04:15,322 --> 01:04:20,807
Picard hosts His chaotic mind and,
the naked now in the naked time
:
01:04:20,807 --> 01:04:22,167
are essentially kind of the same
:
01:04:22,418 --> 01:04:22,633
Kay: story.
:
01:04:23,270 --> 01:04:26,330
Khaki: A really weird choice for
starting the Next Generation's
:
01:04:26,470 --> 01:04:30,845
second episode to have the characters
acting contrary To their established
:
01:04:30,845 --> 01:04:32,285
character their barely established
:
01:04:32,285 --> 01:04:33,085
character, but, oh,
:
01:04:33,085 --> 01:04:34,130
well, still interesting.
:
01:04:35,014 --> 01:04:35,330
I
:
01:04:35,330 --> 01:04:36,210
kind of like this.
:
01:04:36,210 --> 01:04:36,450
I'd
:
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:36,790
Kay: Yeah.
:
01:04:36,790 --> 01:04:38,090
I think it was a fun episode.
:
01:04:38,290 --> 01:04:40,870
Khaki: And I'm really intrigued
by what what Odeng is.
:
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:42,725
Do you have any deleted
:
01:04:42,965 --> 01:04:45,205
Kay: I have I I have I have two, in fact.
:
01:04:46,165 --> 01:04:46,485
Yes.
:
01:04:46,485 --> 01:04:52,160
The first one is deleted scene is where
chef is desperately hiding in sickbay
:
01:04:52,220 --> 01:04:56,700
trying to avoid for because Sheff is
only mentioned at the beginning of the
:
01:04:56,700 --> 01:04:58,635
episode that he is, like and
:
01:04:58,635 --> 01:04:59,115
that He's
:
01:04:59,115 --> 01:05:01,995
gone to he's called in sick,
presumably gone to sick
:
01:05:02,275 --> 01:05:02,755
Khaki: He's already
:
01:05:02,874 --> 01:05:04,450
Kay: and we never see him.
:
01:05:04,529 --> 01:05:08,290
So I he is hiding in the cupboard
somewhere and is trying to, like, avoid
:
01:05:08,290 --> 01:05:12,290
flocks when the attack flocks is rummaging
through cabinets looking for stuff
:
01:05:12,290 --> 01:05:14,955
to treat the, Ensign wig with Andy.
:
01:05:14,955 --> 01:05:17,055
Like, he's just, like,
trying to crawling away.
:
01:05:18,084 --> 01:05:20,265
Khaki: And Sheff is just
like this this little person.
:
01:05:20,725 --> 01:05:21,225
Oh.
:
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,720
Kay: You can see there's like, a
shot of him sitting in the cabinet
:
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:27,160
and then Fox opening the door and
then him hiding behind the table
:
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:28,940
Jurassic Park style while Fox
:
01:05:32,604 --> 01:05:36,838
And the second one is A somewhat
long winded technical scene where
:
01:05:36,838 --> 01:05:39,973
Topol is sitting there, and the uh,
the end conclusion is that she's
:
01:05:39,973 --> 01:05:41,673
now solved the three body problem.
:
01:05:41,813 --> 01:05:43,173
in trying to plot a course.
:
01:05:43,173 --> 01:05:44,793
through this trinary system.
:
01:05:45,173 --> 01:05:45,413
Oh,
:
01:05:45,583 --> 01:05:45,823
Khaki: Yeah.
:
01:05:45,823 --> 01:05:47,823
That would definitely put you
in the annals of the Vulcan
:
01:05:47,928 --> 01:05:48,248
Kay: I know.
:
01:05:48,248 --> 01:05:48,568
Right?
:
01:05:48,623 --> 01:05:48,943
Khaki: Yeah.
:
01:05:48,943 --> 01:05:49,733
Well done.
:
01:05:50,628 --> 01:05:51,108
Oh, see
:
01:05:51,128 --> 01:05:51,608
Kay: Actually, No.
:
01:05:51,608 --> 01:05:53,768
that that'll be the the
final scene at the end of it.
:
01:05:53,768 --> 01:05:57,573
Like, when there's, little, uh, ceremony
where it's, like, she's been, Like,
:
01:05:57,573 --> 01:06:01,933
she she sends in this application
to the Vulcan, uh, science academy
:
01:06:01,933 --> 01:06:05,533
and, like, with With with her proof
of the uh, solving the three body
:
01:06:05,533 --> 01:06:06,938
problem and then, Like,
:
01:06:06,938 --> 01:06:08,218
take that, Malcolm.
:
01:06:08,218 --> 01:06:08,538
and
:
01:06:10,168 --> 01:06:11,388
Khaki: As she wins the Topobel
:
01:06:11,481 --> 01:06:11,758
Kay: Prize.
:
01:06:12,298 --> 01:06:12,538
Yeah.
:
01:06:12,538 --> 01:06:13,038
Nice.
:
01:06:14,113 --> 01:06:14,193
I
:
01:06:14,413 --> 01:06:15,933
Khaki: mine is going to be about Ensign
:
01:06:15,933 --> 01:06:16,433
Joey.
:
01:06:17,133 --> 01:06:18,893
Because I think he's full of shit.
:
01:06:18,893 --> 01:06:22,493
I think that there's really not that
many people waiting for for food
:
01:06:22,493 --> 01:06:26,628
out there, But his obsession is he I
mean, he had a choice between either
:
01:06:26,628 --> 01:06:28,228
working for his aunt's, restaurant
:
01:06:28,458 --> 01:06:29,438
Kay: As a line cook.
:
01:06:29,658 --> 01:06:29,818
Or
:
01:06:29,918 --> 01:06:31,293
Khaki: Or, Uh, going to Starfleet.
:
01:06:31,293 --> 01:06:34,093
And he went to Starfleet because
it it seemed like a little less
:
01:06:34,413 --> 01:06:35,533
Kay: And then they put him in the mess.
:
01:06:35,533 --> 01:06:36,273
hall anyway.
:
01:06:36,333 --> 01:06:39,698
Khaki: But he's still kind of, Like,
probably in his spare time, he goes
:
01:06:39,698 --> 01:06:42,338
on the on the whatever version of the
holiday they have in the enterprise
:
01:06:42,338 --> 01:06:45,218
and, like, imagines running a restaurant
because he likes kind of the stress.
:
01:06:45,218 --> 01:06:46,283
I'm like, yes, chef.
:
01:06:46,443 --> 01:06:49,563
And he's sort of cosplaying or, like,
role playing that this is happening.
:
01:06:49,563 --> 01:06:50,363
It's not really happening.
:
01:06:50,363 --> 01:06:51,003
Everybody's fine.
:
01:06:51,003 --> 01:06:53,163
They can just get space kit
caps from wherever, get some
:
01:06:53,223 --> 01:06:54,063
Kay: a little bit slow.
:
01:06:54,063 --> 01:06:54,353
Yeah.
:
01:06:56,608 --> 01:06:56,848
Khaki: But
:
01:06:56,848 --> 01:07:00,048
he just likes the opportunity of running
back and forth and saying that it's way
:
01:07:00,278 --> 01:07:00,938
Kay: than you.
:
01:07:01,078 --> 01:07:01,818
Oh, yes.
:
01:07:02,518 --> 01:07:04,438
Kinda like cooking mama,
but then you know, on the
:
01:07:04,773 --> 01:07:05,673
Khaki: There you go.
:
01:07:06,713 --> 01:07:07,213
Kay: Alright.
:
01:07:07,753 --> 01:07:07,993
So
:
01:07:08,853 --> 01:07:10,693
Khaki: I feel like we
need another segment.
:
01:07:10,693 --> 01:07:10,933
Like,
:
01:07:11,033 --> 01:07:11,433
Kay: I know.
:
01:07:11,573 --> 01:07:16,429
Khaki: to sort of come down,
Right after, who do you think
:
01:07:16,429 --> 01:07:18,129
did, like, a really good job here?
:
01:07:18,774 --> 01:07:19,254
Kay: Um,
:
01:07:19,254 --> 01:07:19,489
let's
:
01:07:19,549 --> 01:07:22,644
Khaki: give, like, a a a little
sort of gold star to someone
:
01:07:22,644 --> 01:07:23,683
who did a really good job.
:
01:07:23,683 --> 01:07:26,404
And it can be, like, in in set design.
:
01:07:26,404 --> 01:07:28,904
Like, who do you wanna,
like, shine a spotlight
:
01:07:29,019 --> 01:07:29,519
Kay: Okay.
:
01:07:29,659 --> 01:07:30,159
Oh.
:
01:07:30,379 --> 01:07:30,759
Character.
:
01:07:30,884 --> 01:07:31,384
Khaki: character.
:
01:07:32,079 --> 01:07:35,619
Mine's gonna be Breezy because I think
she did a very good sit and sulk.
:
01:07:36,559 --> 01:07:37,059
Yeah.
:
01:07:37,279 --> 01:07:38,339
Well done, Breezy.
:
01:07:38,594 --> 01:07:38,809
Kay: that?
:
01:07:39,198 --> 01:07:40,374
Khaki: That was your cat.
:
01:07:40,409 --> 01:07:40,809
Kay: No.
:
01:07:40,809 --> 01:07:41,209
Oh, no.
:
01:07:42,649 --> 01:07:43,149
Okay.
:
01:07:43,369 --> 01:07:45,169
Who was doing a bit of a talk,
:
01:07:45,814 --> 01:07:46,054
Khaki: Yeah.
:
01:07:46,054 --> 01:07:46,989
She was doing a breezy.
:
01:07:48,924 --> 01:07:49,084
Kay: Uh,
:
01:07:49,084 --> 01:07:51,084
because she is once again in kitty jails.
:
01:07:51,084 --> 01:07:52,544
We're trying to chew on the cables.
:
01:07:52,549 --> 01:07:53,029
Khaki: Yeah.
:
01:07:53,029 --> 01:07:53,748
It's gonna be the
:
01:07:54,044 --> 01:07:54,284
Kay: Yeah.
:
01:07:54,284 --> 01:07:55,004
I'm afraid so.
:
01:07:55,004 --> 01:07:57,939
I mean, we gave her the option
to sleep it off in the on on
:
01:07:57,939 --> 01:07:59,619
on her little cat tree, but no.
:
01:07:59,619 --> 01:07:59,859
No.
:
01:07:59,859 --> 01:07:59,939
No.
:
01:07:59,984 --> 01:08:01,104
Khaki: There could have been peace.
:
01:08:01,219 --> 01:08:04,691
Kay: had to come down and,
I think mine would have to
:
01:08:04,691 --> 01:08:09,218
go to Malcolm for doing a damn good
job in implementing his security
:
01:08:09,218 --> 01:08:09,537
protocols.
:
01:08:09,537 --> 01:08:12,337
I mean, the the obvious choice
is to Paul for saving everybody,
:
01:08:12,337 --> 01:08:15,077
but I think Malcolm is, Yeah.
:
01:08:15,202 --> 01:08:15,682
Khaki: Yeah.
:
01:08:15,682 --> 01:08:19,487
And he he did establish apparently two
hundred years of Starfleet protocol.
:
01:08:19,591 --> 01:08:19,752
Kay: Yes.
:
01:08:19,752 --> 01:08:20,392
Which is, Like,
:
01:08:20,392 --> 01:08:23,006
at at least or at least he started it.
:
01:08:23,247 --> 01:08:23,737
Khaki: Yeah.
:
01:08:24,835 --> 01:08:25,006
And,
:
01:08:25,367 --> 01:08:25,846
Kay: So yes.
:
01:08:25,966 --> 01:08:26,127
Khaki: mean,
:
01:08:26,127 --> 01:08:29,252
a bit overzealous in implementing it
before it was approved, but This is a
:
01:08:29,287 --> 01:08:29,527
Kay: Yeah.
:
01:08:29,527 --> 01:08:32,747
But that was made because of the
Weird the weird circumstances.
:
01:08:33,002 --> 01:08:33,402
But yes.
:
01:08:33,402 --> 01:08:37,822
And and and I thought the, like, the the
whole read alert was quite quite cool.
:
01:08:37,881 --> 01:08:38,122
shot.
:
01:08:38,122 --> 01:08:38,761
I didn't like that.
:
01:08:38,761 --> 01:08:40,301
Let's just make it red alert.
:
01:08:41,227 --> 01:08:44,747
Khaki: See, everybody I I must be the
only one who doesn't absolutely love
:
01:08:44,747 --> 01:08:47,381
that because I wasn't Totally charmed
by it because, hey, it doesn't rhyme.
:
01:08:47,381 --> 01:08:48,182
It doesn't sound anything
:
01:08:48,182 --> 01:08:50,422
close, but apparently, everybody loves it.
:
01:08:50,422 --> 01:08:52,922
Maybe it's just my, uh, my
sort of response to Odengstoop.
:
01:08:53,062 --> 01:08:53,542
Must just be
:
01:08:53,542 --> 01:08:53,942
me then.
:
01:08:54,062 --> 01:08:54,562
Kay: Yes.
:
01:08:55,301 --> 01:08:55,742
Alright.
:
01:08:55,742 --> 01:08:57,917
And with that, I'm leaving Starfleet.
:
01:08:59,147 --> 01:08:59,647
Khaki: Energize.

01:09:02,804 --> 01:09:06,374
