Kay:

Ahoy,

2

:

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.

431

:

It's a very un

432

:

Vulcan

433

:

Kay: expression.

434

:

Yes.

435

:

Khaki: But she's just

using human phraseology.

436

:

Kay: Yep.

437

:

Chef was planning to make

438

:

fried chicken with potatoes...

439

:

and some of the Minaran spinach

440

:

we picked up on Risa.

441

:

Kay: I'm just gonna call him Joey.

442

:

reminded you

443

:

Khaki: of Joey from Friends.

444

:

You reminded me of the commander of the

Makos who shows up later on, but fine.

445

:

Cadet Joey,

446

:

is there to to assist her, and he

says, well, if you, give me the

447

:

specification for what you want it

to produce, then we can get them the

448

:

protein sequences and because oh, no.

449

:

Because she's going to make

her family's o dang recipe.

450

:

Yeah.

451

:

I don't know what Odang is.

452

:

Do you know what it It's something brothy.

453

:

Kay: Yeah.

454

:

I have no idea.

455

:

Chief engineer Greg here.

456

:

It's no help to the boys here.

457

:

However, for those that

are wondering, oh, dang

458

:

is.

459

:

a Japanese stew.

460

:

That whole.

461

:

She's referring to here, but

there's also oh, dang or.

462

:

A muck, which is a south Korean

fishcake dish From when Japan

463

:

colonized the Korean peninsula.

464

:

That word has stuck around.

465

:

Khaki: Oh, yes.

466

:

Okay.

467

:

I have a wonderful treat for you.

468

:

there's a screen that they

pass that shows the menu Yeah.

469

:

That they were going to

have for the next week?

470

:

Kay: Oh, there.

471

:

Right.

472

:

Yes.

473

:

Khaki: Are you interested in this menu?

474

:

Kay: Uh, I already saw that, it

was in the preparation notes.

475

:

So

476

:

Khaki: there.

477

:

How about, hey, how about we read

these, and how about, Greg, You

478

:

479

:

Come

480

:

Kay: it your what is your obsession

481

:

Khaki: He does really good

softcore porn music, k?

482

:

I just really like his softcore porn

483

:

Kay: enough.

484

:

Fair enough.

485

:

Alright.

486

:

Khaki: Because on Thursday, we're

having fried chicken scalloped potatoes,

487

:

and some of them, menar and spinach.

488

:

You know, The orange stuff.

489

:

The chef thinks he can make it edible.

490

:

How about Friday?

491

:

Kay: Friday.

492

:

It's grilled trout

almandine, rice pilaf, And

493

:

494

Khaki: K.

495

:

I'm making a mockery out of my my

attempt to, like, to do some food porn.

496

:

I thought you'd be into it, but fine.

497

:

We have a lot more to go on Saturday.

:

and peach cobbler also again

504

:

Khaki: olive caviar?

505

:

Kay: Oh, no idea.

506

:

Maybe little green olives turned

into little caviar like balls?

507

:

Khaki: Chief, do you know what

508

:

Green olive caviar is?

509

:

And please use the same tone of

voice so the music can continue.

510

:

Kay: Oh,

511

:

Khaki: Thank

512

:

Green caviar, it looks like

it's one of two things.

513

:

Either caviar made with pimento olives.

514

:

Or.

515

:

Made with sea grapes, a type of seaweed.

516

:

Seaweed.

regret it, but I appreciate

548

:

you, like, doubling down on it.

549

:

Friday, we've got a noodle kugel.

550

:

Do you know what that

551

:

Kay: is?

552

:

Um, I can think of it.

553

:

It's like those, German,

potato dumplings, uh, type.

554

:

Those are often

555

:

Khaki: Oh, it's a yes.

556

:

But with, uh, it's a a a Jewish

dish, I believe, and it's called egg

557

:

noodles and brisket, oh, and cabbage.

558

:

Oh.

559

:

Kay: Uh, on

560

:

Saturday, grilled alpine surprise.

564

:

Kay: Wow.

565

:

Khaki: kitchen is amazing.

566

:

Kay: It's a chef.

567

:

is certainly a, uh, dedicated,

568

:

Khaki: mean, if this was the the

menu on, like, a submarine, imagine

569

:

Kay: that.

570

:

Yeah.

571

:

I mean, also yes.

572

:

Is he just like, cook I mean, how

many people does Enterprise have?

573

:

Khaki: Uh, a little over a hundred.

574

:

Yeah.

575

:

Kay: That's a big You don't Cook

a hundred people, four meals a

576

:

day, with one person, I think.

577

:

Khaki: Well, he seems to have cadet Joey

578

:

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.

590

:

Khaki: No.

591

:

You're not into it.

592

:

Oh, okay.

593

:

Kay: No.

594

:

No.

595

:

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

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.

About the Podcast

The Joy of Trek
Every Star Trek story is somebody's favorite, and that might as well be us!
Two lifelong besties (and their trusty engineer) adventure through the vast constellations of Star Trek's decades on TV, especially the lesser-loved stories.

But instead of bitching about why they’re bad, we’re going to find the joy in each of them, because everybody loves the great episodes, but it takes dedication, insight, and hard-working fools to love the clunkers too.

And by Jove, we are those fools!

Positive, inclusive and optimistic (though not uncritical!) we try to find the brilliance even in the least-loved episodes of our favorite TV shows!
