[TS]
00:01:26
◼
►
what what okay so started beyond it was
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
it's here it's a it's interesting i've
[TS]
00:01:31
◼
►
seen a lot of people that everybody was
[TS]
00:01:34
◼
►
really negative after the trailer came
[TS]
00:01:36
◼
►
out like they're like oh well Justin Lin
[TS]
00:01:38
◼
►
he's a fast and furious director they're
[TS]
00:01:39
◼
►
just going to give us an action movie
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
I don't know how long it's going to take
[TS]
00:01:43
◼
►
if ever for people to twig to the fact
[TS]
00:01:46
◼
►
that if you make a large budget sci fi
[TS]
00:01:48
◼
►
movie that drops in the summertime it's
[TS]
00:01:51
◼
►
probably going to be a tentpole action
[TS]
00:01:53
◼
►
movie even if it's called Star Trek
[TS]
00:01:55
◼
►
because that's sort of the business that
[TS]
00:01:57
◼
►
they're in and and so you know they used
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
in action director here I i think i
[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
think this is a pretty ambitious movie I
[TS]
00:02:05
◼
►
think there's a lot of action and I
[TS]
00:02:06
◼
►
think they tried to do some stuff that
[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
was true star trek Lissa I'm gonna I'm
[TS]
00:02:12
◼
►
gonna reverse everything that's going to
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
be kind of topsy-turvy I wanted to ask
[TS]
00:02:15
◼
►
everybody just upfront what were you
[TS]
00:02:17
◼
►
what you know walking so walking out of
[TS]
00:02:19
◼
►
the theater your first thoughts uh how
[TS]
00:02:21
◼
►
do you feel this one rates in terms of
[TS]
00:02:23
◼
►
the JJ Abrams Star Trek trilogy because
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
JJ Abrams still producer on this even
[TS]
00:02:29
◼
►
though he didn't direct it
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
and maybe in terms of Star Trek movies
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
as a whole
[TS]
00:02:33
◼
►
David what about you I loved it I i
[TS]
00:02:36
◼
►
walked out of the theater ready to see
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
it again i know they announced the
[TS]
00:02:40
◼
►
fourth one and I I want them to just let
[TS]
00:02:43
◼
►
Simon Pegg do that one too just let them
[TS]
00:02:45
◼
►
write it so where do you think your
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
rates uh well i think it's it's for me
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
it's the best of the JJ movies and and
[TS]
00:02:53
◼
►
you know i think i have to see it again
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
just to let it sink in but it's it's in
[TS]
00:03:00
◼
►
the top third of all the trek movies for
[TS]
00:03:02
◼
►
me I think kristen i enjoyed it that
[TS]
00:03:04
◼
►
much Erica what about you
[TS]
00:03:06
◼
►
interesting that you ask for the walking
[TS]
00:03:07
◼
►
out of the theater feeling because
[TS]
00:03:09
◼
►
because I was actually feeling pretty
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
good by the time I walked out of the
[TS]
00:03:13
◼
►
theater but it took at least two three
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
quarters of the movie to get me they're
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
so so yeah it in the end I I i like the
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
end of it but I think when it comes down
[TS]
00:03:24
◼
►
to the walking out of the theater
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
feeling I don't think anything is going
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
to compare with the elation of the 2009
[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
movie which I saw with some of my
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
deepest like geekiest Star Trek fan
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
friends and they had been very worried
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
about it and really enjoyed it so coming
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
out of that was just like kind of a
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
feeling of of great elation and this was
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
this was fine it wasn't great elation
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
and i am one of those people that
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
actually enjoyed star trek beyond quite
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
a bit for not starting yet I mean I'm
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
into darkness quite a bit so I mean if I
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
am forced to rate them this is actually
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
at the bottom of my list currently and
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
Scott worried about you
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
well when I left the movie theater i was
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
happy i enjoyed the the movie i also get
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
a free movie pass for another movie so
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
that helps i think but even if I didn't
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
get that I would have been happy because
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
I enjoyed it i thought was fun and
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
really isn't the whole point of going to
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
a movie is to have a little fun unless
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
you're going to like some swedish movie
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
or something
[TS]
00:04:27
◼
►
nobody has fun sweetie always right take
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
that Sweden yeah the seventh seal is a
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
blast you kidding me in imax and so is
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
where i rank them in john scalzi posted
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
something that I thought was interesting
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
he said he thought it was the best of
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
the third
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
Star Trek movies question you know
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
you're here
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
comparing it to insurrection and star
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
trek 3 the search for spock so i think
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
that is true it is the best time yeah
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
the third entrance in structuring
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
franchises go with that I thought it was
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
my second favorite of the JJ Abrams
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
movies star trek 2009 i think still
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
beats it because just like what Eric was
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
saying it was so new and exciting to
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
have a star trek movie again that wasn't
[TS]
00:05:14
◼
►
kind of petering out because the last
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
couple of next-generation movies were
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
not very good so the star trek 2009 had
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
low expectations but it blew me away
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
into darkness was fine i liked a lot but
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
I didn't have the guy i watch 2009 again
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
over the weekend to prepare for this
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
podcast i was gonna watch into darkness
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
and I just didn't get around to it but i
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
don't like it i like Robocop so thumbs
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
up to that Admiral robocop that's right
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
my I'm kind of in the same camp as Erica
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
here I actually really like star trek
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
into darkness and I wallet while I think
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
it is telling that i have not really
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
watch star trek into darkness as many
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
times as I have already watched Star
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
Trek 2009 and so as a result i would
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
certainly rate you that the first of the
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
the JJ Abrams movies over it i don't
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
think i would rate star trek beyond over
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
it and I actually it's funny because my
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
expectations have been lowered somewhat
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
by that trailer and then they had been
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
raised by some of the good word of mouth
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
that came out as the movie was was was
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
arriving and when I went to see it what
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
I found
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
I thought was something that was has a
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
lot of good stuff in it and I want to
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
see it again because I suspect that
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
perhaps it just hit me wrong and i wanna
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
i want to give it its due as a Star Trek
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
fan but at the same time I saw a lot of
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
laws in it that made me think like okay
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
what are you doing right now and that's
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
not a great that's not a great position
[TS]
00:06:51
◼
►
to be and I think I felt like and we can
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
get into this but I feel like the
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
director
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
was really ambitious and his talent
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
didn't really allow him to fulfill all
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
of his ambitions I like I felt like his
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
his reach exceeds 20 his grasp Thank You
[TS]
00:07:07
◼
►
mr. writer man punching above his weight
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
yeah i mean i love that he i loved the
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
ambition of some of the visuals in this
[TS]
00:07:14
◼
►
but i don't think they were executed
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
very well yes what was that note I I
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
like I want Simon figure-eight Nick I
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
didn't say anything about who should
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
direct oh but I thought it was a is
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
competent yeah and I thought it was a
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
very different feel to the movies right
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
so I know there's a lot of people on
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
Twitter that follow that are like oh
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
it's not real star trek whatever real
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
star trek is this argument i don't buy
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
the sets are cardboard come on you can I
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
mean you totally everyone is entitled to
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
their opinion but kind of judging what
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
real star trek is and what it isn't i
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
think is completely bogus right and
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
they're people like well it's not
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
cerebral so it can't be star trek and I
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
think really have you watched a lot of
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
Star Trek because there are some
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
cerebral episodes of Star Trek but by
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
and large there are a lot of that arms
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
but actually the century more common
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
really exactly thats but i thought this
[TS]
00:08:09
◼
►
was so JJ Abrams has a very particular
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
kind of style and obviously the first
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
two movies had that style so this was
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
kind of a refreshing new take on it a
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
very frenetic which i think almost
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
worked in some scenes but didn't quite I
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
had trouble and Jason you and I were
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
talking about this in slack i had
[TS]
00:08:29
◼
►
trouble sometimes knowing what I was
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
supposed to be looking at and what was
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
going on
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
you just never a great thing in a movie
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
I think unless they're trying to confuse
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
you which I don't think they were trying
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
to do here but if they were mission
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
accomplished
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
ok I hadn't thought about the not
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
knowing what I was supposed to look at
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
thing but you're right now that you say
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
that I think that was one of my problems
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
my other problem was the camera movement
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
and my I appreciate it when a director
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
tries to go for camera movement because
[TS]
00:08:56
◼
►
i think it can be really really cool but
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
I felt like well you know how in classic
[TS]
00:09:01
◼
►
classic Star Trek you know that the
[TS]
00:09:03
◼
►
ships would only ever meet each other in
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
two dimensions and it was you know you
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
basically get one kind of
[TS]
00:09:08
◼
►
goal of the ships and stuff I felt like
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
like this was trying to make up for
[TS]
00:09:12
◼
►
several decades of traditional up and
[TS]
00:09:15
◼
►
all in one hour and a half minutes that
[TS]
00:09:18
◼
►
was just it honestly made me physically
[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
ill and that has not happened to me
[TS]
00:09:21
◼
►
since I think the third jason bourne
[TS]
00:09:23
◼
►
movie those are these are the only two
[TS]
00:09:24
◼
►
movies that have ever made me feel sick
[TS]
00:09:26
◼
►
in the theater good i saw it in imax 3d
[TS]
00:09:28
◼
►
so there was a lot to watch what you're
[TS]
00:09:31
◼
►
gonna say there's a lot of vomiting
[TS]
00:09:33
◼
►
going I didn't see anybody but I think I
[TS]
00:09:36
◼
►
think I I don't want to say i was
[TS]
00:09:38
◼
►
reading somebody's review of middling
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
review of ghostbusters where they said
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
that a that they thought that puffy just
[TS]
00:09:45
◼
►
couldn't direct action and I remember
[TS]
00:09:47
◼
►
thinking after i saw Star Trek beyond
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
like I don't know I felt like at least
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
in ghostbusters there was a sense of
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
geography and I think we just landed i
[TS]
00:09:55
◼
►
don't want to say you can't direct
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
action because he can direct action i
[TS]
00:09:58
◼
►
think though there's certain kinds of
[TS]
00:10:00
◼
►
action that he's very good at directing
[TS]
00:10:01
◼
►
and when we see Captain Kirk riding
[TS]
00:10:03
◼
►
around on his little motorcycle and
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
stuff like that i think that the
[TS]
00:10:06
◼
►
geography makes sense when people are
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
fighting each other hand to hand I think
[TS]
00:10:09
◼
►
the geography makes sense but once you
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
get into those scenes where you are in
[TS]
00:10:13
◼
►
space or your enemy of the Yorktown the
[TS]
00:10:17
◼
►
Starbase where there which I are again I
[TS]
00:10:20
◼
►
think the visuals of that space station
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
are stunning the idea that because
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
gravity is artificial you can have
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
different cityscape sort of pointing at
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
each other and perpendicular directions
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
and stuff I think that's great but I
[TS]
00:10:31
◼
►
think in those scenes he couldn't really
[TS]
00:10:34
◼
►
get across the geography he was trying
[TS]
00:10:36
◼
►
to convey and it ended up confusing in a
[TS]
00:10:38
◼
►
way that even something that was trying
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
to mess with your mind like Inception
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
didn't it didn't confuse me in the way I
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
think Christopher Nolan did a much
[TS]
00:10:49
◼
►
better job of keeping his filmic
[TS]
00:10:51
◼
►
geography intact and I I just don't
[TS]
00:10:53
◼
►
think that Justin Lin managed it right i
[TS]
00:10:55
◼
►
mean even even the fight scenes the
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
hand-to-hand fight scenes for me they
[TS]
00:11:01
◼
►
didn't land because the camera is
[TS]
00:11:03
◼
►
continuously moving and zooming and
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
cutting and twitching and shaking and
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
jumping and swooping and you don't know
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
what's happened until the fight is done
[TS]
00:11:10
◼
►
it looked like they were choreographed
[TS]
00:11:13
◼
►
very well I mean I fight choreography is
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
something to pay attention to but the
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
camera work was insane
[TS]
00:11:20
◼
►
same for those and and and especially
[TS]
00:11:22
◼
►
the swooping shaking a camera sequence
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
of camera in the Yorktown sequence it
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
didn't make me physically ill only only
[TS]
00:11:32
◼
►
rainbow road and mario kart can do that
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
oh god yes it is it was it was too much
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
because you couldn't focus on what was
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
going on you couldn't i'm even even when
[TS]
00:11:42
◼
►
the cameras doing the shaking chittering
[TS]
00:11:44
◼
►
thing like a look-see we're pretending
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
its cinema very day it's not it doesn't
[TS]
00:11:48
◼
►
have to shake you don't need that
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
let the ship and the people shake keep
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
the camera still it's okay you know it's
[TS]
00:11:56
◼
►
not a car it's not the fast and furious
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
so yeah I i did not like any of his
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
action direction for the most part I i
[TS]
00:12:07
◼
►
like the concept i like scenes i like
[TS]
00:12:09
◼
►
the the design of things
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
yeah but I did not think that as soon as
[TS]
00:12:14
◼
►
it went into the the full-tilt action
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
mode i did not think it was very very
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
effective
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
I'm and maybe it's because he's used to
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
you know fast furious is fast and
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
furious but their cars right it's two
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
bedrooms you don't really see a lot of
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
floating cars flying writers there's
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
gravity
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
exactly and I think he just was trying
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
to do a whole lot with this he had a
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
third dimension was like we've got to
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
use the hell out of this third manage
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
ambition right I appreciate being bitchy
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
absolutely absolutely didn't come off
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
no but I did like the Yorktown a lot
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
thumbs up I guess the design it's so
[TS]
00:12:46
◼
►
beautiful I I like those moments I i saw
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
some people online complaining about the
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
fact that that a starship emerges
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
through water again and it's like me but
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
I thought that it was so it was like so
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
so perfect that it got to that point
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
because we we had to let up to that
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
point I i love the idea that not only
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
are all those spaces perpendicular to
[TS]
00:13:03
◼
►
each other because it's all artificial
[TS]
00:13:05
◼
►
gravity anyway so it kind of doesn't
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
matter but that you've also got little
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
tubes that star ships come into and you
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
can see them going by i'm not sure how
[TS]
00:13:12
◼
►
practical that is and i also have some
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
questions about their defense which
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
appeared apparently as everybody sit
[TS]
00:13:18
◼
►
inside and greg grunberg will look at
[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
the computer and tell you something's
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
happening just just feel safer already
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
if you've got millions and millions of
[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
people living in this in this should
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
there be like Federation starships all
[TS]
00:13:30
◼
►
around and shouldn't have liked more
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
guns and things on the outside to
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
protect them and apparently not
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
apparently they don't but Greg Grunberg
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
he's paying attention so there should be
[TS]
00:13:39
◼
►
shields beyond the glass dome right he
[TS]
00:13:42
◼
►
would think right but I expense I mean
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
it's pretty it's but it's but it is such
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
a super I i love the production design
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
on this really i think i think this
[TS]
00:13:52
◼
►
ship's look good i think the the
[TS]
00:13:54
◼
►
Yorktown looks good i love a lot of the
[TS]
00:13:57
◼
►
planet stuff i like i like the Franklin
[TS]
00:13:59
◼
►
sets i think those are a lot of fun
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
oh by the way who would have thought
[TS]
00:14:03
◼
►
that there would never be like if you're
[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
a fan of Star Trek Enterprise this is as
[TS]
00:14:07
◼
►
close as you're ever going to get to an
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
enterprise movie so I hope you are doing
[TS]
00:14:09
◼
►
it right so good in people who have idea
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
the Yorktown appeared early enough in
[TS]
00:14:15
◼
►
the film and I hadn't been completely
[TS]
00:14:17
◼
►
sort of turned off by the way happy
[TS]
00:14:19
◼
►
camper with moving and I was just I mean
[TS]
00:14:21
◼
►
that first sequence there i was kind of
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
ja a gape just in awe
[TS]
00:14:25
◼
►
it was it was amazing i had a thought
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
like if the incomparable ever does a
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
space station draft that may be near the
[TS]
00:14:30
◼
►
top of my list because i want to go to
[TS]
00:14:34
◼
►
it's beautiful it's just a beautiful
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
thing I i think one of the things that
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
film can do is make your drop like that
[TS]
00:14:41
◼
►
and have that moment of like I I can't
[TS]
00:14:43
◼
►
believe what I'm seeing now and I think
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
that's pretty rare and I felt that same
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
way which is like wow this is like a
[TS]
00:14:49
◼
►
real fascinating visual from a star trek
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
movie which honestly doesn't happen as
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
much I like Star Trek movies that you
[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
know jaw-dropping visuals is not a thing
[TS]
00:15:00
◼
►
that they tend to do and i was very
[TS]
00:15:01
◼
►
impressed with that when i went with my
[TS]
00:15:04
◼
►
eleven-year-old and every time the
[TS]
00:15:06
◼
►
Yorktown came on-screen he would lean
[TS]
00:15:09
◼
►
over and say I want to go there
[TS]
00:15:11
◼
►
where is that American we can we go that
[TS]
00:15:13
◼
►
great a film that is that I think most
[TS]
00:15:15
◼
►
of it by existence
[TS]
00:15:18
◼
►
yeah just go to devise just like that
[TS]
00:15:19
◼
►
pic just hit yourself in the head with a
[TS]
00:15:23
◼
►
brick when you buy
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
I'm gonna see anything on the Yorktown
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
and I'll i like what it kind of says
[TS]
00:15:30
◼
►
about the the this moment of the
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
Federation where they could build
[TS]
00:15:34
◼
►
something like this and they're just so
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
confident in their technology because
[TS]
00:15:37
◼
►
something crazy and you can't build
[TS]
00:15:39
◼
►
something like this if you're not super
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
confident that it will stay together
[TS]
00:15:43
◼
►
right because they're their buildings
[TS]
00:15:45
◼
►
all over the place
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
spaceships are flying through its it
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
doesn't make any sense but if you did
[TS]
00:15:49
◼
►
you know the the parallel to the culture
[TS]
00:15:52
◼
►
books is striking into people who have
[TS]
00:15:55
◼
►
read the culture books and see this
[TS]
00:15:57
◼
►
movie and so I just thought you know
[TS]
00:15:59
◼
►
this is portraying a federation that is
[TS]
00:16:02
◼
►
very confident in its technology and
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
then we see obviously later
[TS]
00:16:06
◼
►
technology is a theater price goes up
[TS]
00:16:08
◼
►
basically spoiler i think there are
[TS]
00:16:12
◼
►
elements of lots of other Star Trek
[TS]
00:16:14
◼
►
movies in this movie and interesting
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
ways but one of the things that struck
[TS]
00:16:17
◼
►
me was the story that is really in Star
[TS]
00:16:20
◼
►
Trek the motion picture and also
[TS]
00:16:21
◼
►
instruct her to which is the idea that
[TS]
00:16:23
◼
►
you know Captain Kirk gives up his
[TS]
00:16:25
◼
►
command and he becomes an admiral and
[TS]
00:16:27
◼
►
then he regrets it because he wants to
[TS]
00:16:29
◼
►
go and be a captain that's his best
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
thing that he can do and in this movie
[TS]
00:16:34
◼
►
what we get is we get chris pine's
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
captain kirk and they've been out there
[TS]
00:16:38
◼
►
for 43 years so I which I thought was
[TS]
00:16:41
◼
►
kind of clever because that's how long
[TS]
00:16:42
◼
►
we saw the original Star Trek's
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
five-year mission was the first three
[TS]
00:16:45
◼
►
years right now I got canceled and he's
[TS]
00:16:47
◼
►
kind of burning out like he's he's just
[TS]
00:16:49
◼
►
they've been doing this he says
[TS]
00:16:51
◼
►
everything is episodic which made me
[TS]
00:16:52
◼
►
laugh because yeah that would happen
[TS]
00:16:55
◼
►
you're on a TV show do not know and um &
[TS]
00:16:58
◼
►
ripped by shirt again and he's high know
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
right it and he's burned he's burned out
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
and he goes back and talk to her egg
[TS]
00:17:06
◼
►
dash luat at Yorktown and she's like
[TS]
00:17:08
◼
►
what we got your application to you know
[TS]
00:17:10
◼
►
be able to be an admiral what so what
[TS]
00:17:13
◼
►
did what people think I've had about
[TS]
00:17:14
◼
►
that storyline and then in parallel
[TS]
00:17:16
◼
►
there's a core Spock dealing with his
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
mortality where we we get this stuff
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
about about learning Moyes Spock uh
[TS]
00:17:22
◼
►
obviously a hat tip to learn Nimoy that
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
we hear that ambassador Spock has died
[TS]
00:17:27
◼
►
and so Zachary Quintos Spock is dealing
[TS]
00:17:31
◼
►
with that too
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
so what do you think about those those
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
themes because that's sort of the the
[TS]
00:17:35
◼
►
character beats we get right at the
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
front of the movie Chris Pine fell
[TS]
00:17:38
◼
►
the Kirk easiest i think of all of the
[TS]
00:17:40
◼
►
above all the movies up to this point so
[TS]
00:17:42
◼
►
I mean he I feel like he's sort of
[TS]
00:17:44
◼
►
settled in the role and I mean that if
[TS]
00:17:47
◼
►
you like that the friendship between all
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
of these characters is earned at this
[TS]
00:17:50
◼
►
point because they've got three years
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
under their belts as opposed to being
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
all squished together and you know us
[TS]
00:17:56
◼
►
supposed to think that yes so this makes
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
perfect sense after they've just met so
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
on that level it worked but I just I
[TS]
00:18:05
◼
►
don't know it felt very sort of dour and
[TS]
00:18:07
◼
►
and kind of glum and I did maybe it was
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
because the camera was making me sick
[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
but I kind of didn't care until we
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
started pairing characters off and that
[TS]
00:18:17
◼
►
was when I started being interested in
[TS]
00:18:20
◼
►
the interplay between the characters
[TS]
00:18:21
◼
►
again probably because they're their
[TS]
00:18:24
◼
►
friendship is earned by now but when it
[TS]
00:18:27
◼
►
was just you know I don't really care
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
about about Captain Kirk's man next
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
sorry just don't write that that sort of
[TS]
00:18:36
◼
►
lived-in feeling for all the characters
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
is part of why I like this why i think i
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
like the best of the three just because
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
they have earned it
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
they have a comfort level with each
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
other that they didn't have even into
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
darkness i would i would say and so yeah
[TS]
00:18:51
◼
►
it I mean it was it was a little tower
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
in the beginning that's that's a great
[TS]
00:18:55
◼
►
word for it but I think it's meant to be
[TS]
00:18:58
◼
►
i mean it is that these are sort of like
[TS]
00:19:00
◼
►
these momentous life changes they're
[TS]
00:19:02
◼
►
thinking about and the end Kirk and
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
Spock haven't told each other what
[TS]
00:19:07
◼
►
they're thinking about doing yet but yet
[TS]
00:19:10
◼
►
is it is a little slow
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
I think the scene with mccoy in the
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
beginning where they're having a drink
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
is is a little bit to try and lighten
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
the mood a little maybe except there
[TS]
00:19:22
◼
►
except it's really dark and they're
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
drinking while the guys in death and you
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
know but other than that it's pretty a
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
bright lights and and i will i will say
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
that the eleven-year-old leading zeros
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
why is dr. McCoy searching Chekhov's
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
locker that's not very nice
[TS]
00:19:38
◼
►
yeah there's like four sentences that's
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
fair enough you you'd think a good old
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
Southern doctor would be able to get
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
alcohol without relying on the Russian I
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
think that scene pays off some things
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
with not only doesn't have a rest
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
instead the first two original Star Trek
[TS]
00:19:53
◼
►
movies but it pays off
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
what we've seen of Kirk's origin in the
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
original surgery 2009 and I like the
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
residents of that it's it it's his
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
birthday and starter to Captain Kirk is
[TS]
00:20:05
◼
►
going through a birthday and regretting
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
that being a captain anymore and I I
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
mean maybe no Simon Pegg and presumably
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
John although i don't know as much about
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
they know what they're paying off here
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
from like old star trek movies and new
[TS]
00:20:18
◼
►
star trek movies and I liked it
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
although even then it goes on too long
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
and it's and it's you on the nose
[TS]
00:20:23
◼
►
especially that scene where he's like I
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
know your father bit the dust on your
[TS]
00:20:27
◼
►
birthday was like yeah we saw that we do
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
decide we know we got it got it
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
yeah got it Scott what about you what do
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
you think about the about the captain
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
kirk retirement you Admiral stuff and
[TS]
00:20:41
◼
►
the spock stuff so the problem here that
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
we talked about this every time we talk
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
about the new star trek was right is
[TS]
00:20:47
◼
►
that these this crew doesn't have the
[TS]
00:20:50
◼
►
history that's the original Star Trek
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
crew did right so they didn't three
[TS]
00:20:54
◼
►
years of the show and then we have all
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
these movies you know we don't have
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
episodes that we miss it we're totally
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
episodic but we didn't see and the
[TS]
00:21:02
◼
►
characters are younger so some of it
[TS]
00:21:05
◼
►
like it didn't really make much sense to
[TS]
00:21:07
◼
►
me that he would be a vice-admiral other
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
than the fact that he's super-awesome he
[TS]
00:21:12
◼
►
seems a little young to be a
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
vice-admiral yeah but I thought it was
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
clever that they compress that
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
three-year mission in the front to you
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
know that montage of boredom for Kirk
[TS]
00:21:23
◼
►
and we see the little aliens and the
[TS]
00:21:26
◼
►
little aliens which I understand very
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
funny scene
[TS]
00:21:28
◼
►
yeah i was nicely done you get that
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
first look bigger than they were little
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
and they were no eating a muffin he had
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
to get ready so i thought was
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
interesting because it's so there's a
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
lot of shorthand writing as a Star Trek
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
fan I know the relationship so i can i
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
can fill in a lot of the cap so it
[TS]
00:21:45
◼
►
worked for me but I could understand how
[TS]
00:21:47
◼
►
it's just kind of rushed because they
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
asked don't have the time their movies
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
they can't you can't make a teen movies
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
before you can get to this plot right
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
now they don't have to imply that we've
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
seen 322 episode 66 episode 3 you know
[TS]
00:22:02
◼
►
three seasons and now there
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
like remember how Star Trek at three
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
seasons it's kind of like that but you
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
just kind of have to take it forward and
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
they're young so I you know as kirk is
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
this kirk wanted to be an admiral that
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
seems awfully premature because didn't
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
just graduate from surfing academy like
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
four years ago
[TS]
00:22:19
◼
►
yeah i mean he seemed a little too young
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
for that but again one of the things i
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
like about this that the other two films
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
just pissed me off is that he actually
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
applied he went through channel asteroid
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
he did it properly it wasn't like oh by
[TS]
00:22:34
◼
►
the way you're captain now
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
oh you can do this in my headcanon sorry
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
aghdashloo before before Kirk ends up
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
saving the entire Yorktown which change
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
changes the the the equation a little
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
it's like well thanks for saving all of
[TS]
00:22:50
◼
►
us you save millions of people my
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
headcanon is that what she was going to
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
say is basically snap out of it i'm not
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
going to make you an admiral you just
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
became captain you're good at it you
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
need to you need you need to not she
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
turned out you take it takes some shore
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
leave and get back to it
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
stop being a man baby and that would
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
have been a nice scene
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
yeah but instead you know he saves
[TS]
00:23:09
◼
►
everything she's like all right you can
[TS]
00:23:10
◼
►
be an admiral if you want whatever it is
[TS]
00:23:13
◼
►
like yeah nevermind I'm the hair don't
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
but i don't want to be now which is good
[TS]
00:23:17
◼
►
because that I mean again that's the
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
special character are trying to give him
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
it just it seems a little premature and
[TS]
00:23:22
◼
►
and yeah the reason that I go with it is
[TS]
00:23:24
◼
►
because i have seen all of those other
[TS]
00:23:26
◼
►
movies i did like the stuff about his
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
dad and the whole idea of like why did
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
you why did you join because he's not
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
like William Shatner's Captain Kirk he
[TS]
00:23:34
◼
►
didn't join for those reasons he joined
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
for the Dare that that that Christopher
[TS]
00:23:38
◼
►
Pike gave him and star trek 2009 and
[TS]
00:23:40
◼
►
that part was that part was interesting
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
so but yeah it was
[TS]
00:23:44
◼
►
it's dark and dour and then I do like
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
their I do like how they try to give us
[TS]
00:23:49
◼
►
a flavor of an episode at the beginning
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
of this and star trek into darkness
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
where there's you you're catching them
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
in in the middle of something I think
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
that's good although i think that that
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
was a problem that I had with it is i
[TS]
00:23:59
◼
►
have read reviews of this that say oh it
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
feels like a like an episode it's like
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
well no it doesn't because they finish
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
an episode and then he gets and then
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
they had this whole like we're gonna
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
send you on this mission and it turns
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
out to be a whole grand conspiracy that
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
threatens the whole of of Yorktown
[TS]
00:24:15
◼
►
and like that's not really a star trek
[TS]
00:24:17
◼
►
episode of Star Trek episode would be
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
that they would find the planet and it
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►
would be a trap but that's sort of not
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
anyway it's a minor point but i felt
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
like i couldn't we could we have just
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
had them out on their mission having
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
these questions why I have doesn't have
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
we're going to you know get get waylaid
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
from our mission and go in and have this
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
movie at least the fate of the universe
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
wasn't steak and and one nice thing
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
about the dour beginning is that it does
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
have everyone a little off balance when
[TS]
00:24:46
◼
►
they wind up in this trap and wind up
[TS]
00:24:48
◼
►
getting split up into different groups
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
because now they're they're not just out
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
of sorts now it's it's not Kirk and
[TS]
00:24:55
◼
►
Spock is it it's kirk and check off its
[TS]
00:24:57
◼
►
Spock and McCoy it has weird
[TS]
00:24:59
◼
►
combinations so it's not even the best
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
combination of the crew right or quote
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
unquote the best combination and they
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
wind up having to work through that
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
through the movie which was I like that
[TS]
00:25:12
◼
►
I thought that was you i disagree i
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
think it I think it was the best
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
combination with phones bak well yeah i
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
know i absolutely are gonna keep harping
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
on you know Kirk and Spock Kirk and
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
Spock yet no I i agree Spock McCoy is
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
the best that one of the things that
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
this movie does but i think very few of
[TS]
00:25:28
◼
►
the Star Trek movies do well I think
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
about you know Star Trek for does this a
[TS]
00:25:31
◼
►
little bit stricter three does a little
[TS]
00:25:33
◼
►
bit but they make an effort to have
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
every character get some moments and
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
with seven characters it's a it's a tall
[TS]
00:25:39
◼
►
order to get seven of your characters
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
and give them things to do that are
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
interesting and that not everybody's
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
going to get to do a lot but everybody
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
gets to do something and by pairing them
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
and grouping them the way they do it
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
gets to be I mean that that's a good way
[TS]
00:25:53
◼
►
of doing it it's it's a not a bad
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
conceit to give them all a little moment
[TS]
00:25:58
◼
►
in the Sun because if it's seven people
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
standing on the bridge of a spaceship
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
it's it's not gonna happen right but but
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
they split them up
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
that said splitting them up really i
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
felt slow the movie down because we kept
[TS]
00:26:10
◼
►
on having to go from pair two pair from
[TS]
00:26:12
◼
►
group to group and and that's when the
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
movie felt like a sort of ground to a
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
halt and we skipped over the enterprise
[TS]
00:26:18
◼
►
getting blown up by the way which we
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
should probably mention enterprises get
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
blown up all the time right and i
[TS]
00:26:23
◼
►
thought this was a I thought this was
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
again waterway is doing it right with a
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
little little ships that smash
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
it into little pieces and I didn't
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
understand people were like they're
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
blowing up the enterprise it's how could
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
they do this like they do it all the
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
time all the dates it's not a shock even
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
in the third original movie they blew up
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
the enterprise so it's not like it's a
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
shocking pink although this one I think
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
maybe about my favorite enterprise
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
blowing up scenes
[TS]
00:26:52
◼
►
yes I had to close my eyes for a lot of
[TS]
00:26:54
◼
►
that scene because that was that was
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
that was pretty much where I lost ya all
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
ability to pay attention to the film for
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
quite awhile simply because it was very
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
very hard to physically watch a lot of
[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
swooping lot of shaking the swooping I

◼
►
like oh ok this is probably something
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
ok it's not probably not just there
[TS]
00:32:22
◼
►
because we're supposed to be wistful
[TS]
00:32:23
◼
►
about the poor people who died a hundred
[TS]
00:32:25
◼
►
years ago
[TS]
00:32:26
◼
►
that's ok probably right probably which
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
actually reminded me of Star Trek
[TS]
00:32:29
◼
►
insurrection right where its people here
[TS]
00:32:32
◼
►
now really old much older than they
[TS]
00:32:34
◼

should be but they've unnaturally kept
[TS]
00:32:35
◼
►
themselves alive but now they don't look
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
like they used to look they look
[TS]
00:32:38
◼
►
horribly disfigured and stuff it's like
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
that scroll it's the same deal you may
[TS]
00:32:42
◼
►
have murray Abraham little machine for
[TS]
00:32:44
◼
►
all we know his little face stretching
[TS]
00:32:46
◼
►
machine but he doesn't have the the
[TS]
00:32:48
◼
►
official masseuses that's true he just
[TS]
00:32:51
◼
►
has suspended when he's got the bumps on
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
his space instead you know masseuses I
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
exaggerated a little bit i did recognize
[TS]
00:32:58
◼
►
yourself before the credits but it it
[TS]
00:33:01
◼
►
generally yeah he was he was so so
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►
covered up that I mean I'm still a
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
little mad at myself for not right
[TS]
00:33:07
◼
►
using his voice because i like it was
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
one of those things where like I know
[TS]
00:33:10
◼
►
this voice why can't I place it just
[TS]
00:33:12
◼
►
because it was on the spot and then by
[TS]
00:33:14
◼
►
the time that he was revealed that was
[TS]
00:33:15
◼
►
like I almost feel like I wasted all of
[TS]
00:33:18
◼
►
this time just trying to figure out who
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
that is under the makeup and that was it
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
was a distraction from in well from
[TS]
00:33:24
◼
►
tolerating that character from I just
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
didn't care about to start with I feel
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
like it was a mistake to make him so
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
alien because its star trek we would
[TS]
00:33:33
◼
►
have given them a pass if it looks like
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
it's elbow with some bumps and stuff we
[TS]
00:33:37
◼
►
would have been like oh well you know
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
what Star Trek they're making him an
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
alien but then you don't get the twist
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
well no I think you would still get I
[TS]
00:33:43
◼
►
think you would still get the twist
[TS]
00:33:44
◼
►
right i think i think you would know who
[TS]
00:33:46
◼
►
a is at first yeah because he doesn't he
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
doesn't really say his name for most of
[TS]
00:33:50
◼
►
the movie and then you know not to get
[TS]
00:33:53
◼
►
too many check-ins in here but when they
[TS]
00:33:54
◼
►
first get into the Franklin Scotty goes
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►

00:34:03
◼
►

[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►

►

◼
►

[TS]
00:34:25
◼
►
economy going on that like everything we
[TS]
00:34:27
◼
►

[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
mean I appreciate that they set it up
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
but on another level at some point if
[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
there are no red herrings in there if
[TS]
00:34:34
◼
►
there no like interesting details that

00:34:36
◼
►
don't matter you realize that it all
[TS]
00:34:38
◼
►
kind of like everything it only exists

◼
►
in order to service the plots like oh we
[TS]
00:34:43
◼
►
saw the Yorktown it must be under siege
[TS]
00:34:45
◼
►
later because why would we see it
[TS]
00:34:47
◼
►
otherwise and then like every character
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
becomes relevant in in some specific way
[TS]
00:34:53
◼
►
which I would I you know again I find I

[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
little machine that makes him less bumpy

the idea that a former like earth marine
[TS]
00:35:18
◼
►

[TS]
00:35:21
◼
►
against his will gets lost in a wormhole

[TS]
00:35:36
◼
►
Federation I i can accept all of that

[TS]
00:35:43
◼
►
mining stuff boy mining stuff is

[TS]
00:36:49
◼

thing yeah he had a huge coincidence I i
[TS]

like for instance i had no idea how he
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
was supposed to be making himself look
[TS]
00:37:20
◼
►
that way and how he managed to change
[TS]
00:37:22
◼
►
into mostly human by the end and now
[TS]
00:37:25
◼
►
I've seen it explain when you get here

00:37:28
◼
►
he sucks the life out of right on a
[TS]
00:37:31
◼
►
Starfleet people that I got but part of
[TS]
00:37:34
◼
►
is that he supposedly absorbs part of
[TS]
00:37:37
◼
►
them them into him and that alters his
[TS]
00:37:40
◼
►
appearance throughout yeah i didn't i
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
didn't notice that up until the last

[TS]
00:37:49
◼

different and he changes a couple of
[TS]
00:37:50
◼

times M one of the things that I really
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
liked about the the trailer and that i
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
actually was disappointed in the movie

00:37:58
◼
►
was I really like the idea where we're
[TS]
00:38:01
◼
►
crawl says what this is where the
[TS]
00:38:02
◼
►
frontier pushes back right like the idea
[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
like Star Trek is going to say what if
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►
there's an alien race out there that
[TS]
00:38:08
◼
►
that is like doesn't like the Federation

[TS]
00:38:18

it's completely undercut because in the
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
end it's just a guy from the Federation
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
who's mad added because I mean he's not

00:38:32
◼
►
revenge again again using mining
[TS]
00:38:35
◼
►
equipment to destroy some mining
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
equipment in the end of that he's he's
[TS]
00:38:39
◼
►
scared of the frontier he's scared of
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
the unknown and that's what sort of
[TS]
00:38:44
◼
►
pushes him too bad he's not he's not
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
he's he's not scared of it he wants to
[TS]
00:38:48
◼
►
beat it up
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
he's a war out and he annoyed that the
[TS]
00:38:51
◼
►
Federation has turned in
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
he has earned everything in his life is
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
about battles and winning and the fed
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
all of a sudden Federation comes along

00:39:16
◼
►

[TS]
00:39:18
◼
►
they don't rescue him and so is like
[TS]
00:39:20
◼
►

[TS]
00:41:54
◼
►
bought all of them as the characters and
[TS]
00:41:57
◼
►
and so those those interactions did have
[TS]
00:41:59
◼
►
a little more weight to them like i
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
don't i don't know that they could have
[TS]
00:42:03
◼
►
gotten away with some of that Spock and
[TS]
00:42:04
◼
►
McCoy stuff in 2009 because right it is

willing to forgive certain plot

00:42:20
◼

I didn't see in the other the other two
[TS]
00:42:23
◼

[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
think that there are lots of things
[TS]
00:42:27
◼
►
wrong with the plot and the filling and
[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►
some of the direction but the character
[TS]
00:42:31
◼
►
stuff is is good and fun and I can see
[TS]
00:42:35
◼
►
why people say things like it's like a
[TS]
00:42:37
◼
►
star trek episode or reminded me of the
[TS]
00:42:39
◼
►
original star trek in that way which is
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
which is you get the sense that they've
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
day these characters have been together
[TS]
00:42:45
◼
►
a long time the actors have earned the
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►
shorthand of thinking about the the not
[TS]
00:42:50
◼
►
just the relationships in these movies
[TS]
00:42:52
◼
►
but the relationships these characters
[TS]
00:42:54
◼
►
had in the past movies and TV show you
[TS]
00:42:56
◼
►
get you can kind of extrapolate you
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
granted to them and and they use that
[TS]
00:43:00
◼
►
and they show you their character they
[TS]
00:43:02
◼
►
know each other and that they've served
[TS]
00:43:04
◼
►
together and that gives you them license
[TS]
00:43:07
◼
►
to have those character moments that are
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
all you know all fun i think i think
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
it's amazing that in this third movie
[TS]
00:43:12
◼
►
they take the time to do what they felt
[TS]
00:43:15
◼
►
like they needed to do for fans in the
[TS]
00:43:17
◼
►
original Star Trek movies because you
[TS]
00:43:19
◼
►
know we had those those seventy-odd
[TS]
00:43:22
◼
►
episodes of the original Star Trek that
[TS]
00:43:24
◼
►
everybody watch for 20 years
[TS]
00:43:25
◼
►
that's what they were servicing here
[TS]
00:43:27
◼
►

[TS]
00:43:29
◼
►

00:43:31
◼

2009 and they kind of earnings at this
[TS]

[TS]
00:43:42
◼

[TS]
00:46:00
◼

there's that perspective shot where
[TS]
00:46:01
◼

you're looking at kind of like the the
[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
the neck of the of that connects the two
[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
sections of the enterprise and that's
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
what you're watching when it goes into
[TS]
00:46:09
◼
►
warp which is a weird angle and I don't
[TS]
00:46:12
◼
►
think that
[TS]
00:46:12
◼

get and that the that the work by the
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
warp-drive effect is also kind of
[TS]
00:46:16
◼
►
strange and I i agree i don't think
[TS]
00:46:19
◼
►
those work particularly well that said I
[TS]
00:46:22
◼
►
really do like the swarm of ships
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
attacking the enterprise and destroying
[TS]
00:46:27
◼
►
it i think that looks really good and is
[TS]
00:46:29
◼
►
not something that I feel like I've seen
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
before so I think they're good
[TS]
00:46:33
◼
►
there's good stuff too oh yeah during
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
that second during that part i was i was
[TS]
00:46:37
◼
►
thinking of nothing so much as more than
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
1 D&D campaign being attacked by a swarm
[TS]
00:46:42
◼
►
which are my least favorite thing to be
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
attacked by Scott don't listen don't so
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
no i don't and yes i was just i actually
[TS]
00:46:50
◼
►
did sort of feel their frustration more
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
than I think i would have otherwise
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
because yeah fighting this morning's
[TS]
00:46:56
◼
►
really hard so I you know good for
[TS]
00:46:58
◼
►
trying enterprise but there's nothing
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
you can do person and yeah the moment
[TS]
00:47:03
◼
►
when you know you're watching that and
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
you think oh they just want to destroy
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
the enterprise and then the moment when
[TS]
00:47:07
◼
►
they start attacking the the lifeboat
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
ships was I was I don't know what are
[TS]
00:47:12
◼
►
they doing and I guess they're just
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
capturing them for some unknown reason I
[TS]
00:47:15
◼
►
don't know why they were doing that to
[TS]
00:47:17
◼
►
use to keep the crew so they could drain
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
the manga second suck their life out of
[TS]
00:47:21
◼
►
them and get the the thingy because
[TS]
00:47:24
◼
►
Soviet crawl has been doing everyone's
[TS]
00:47:26
◼
►
logs so he can somehow I guess what's
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
happening at it doesn't make much sense
[TS]
00:47:31
◼
►
but no one one shot i did really like is
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
where I guess it's when Kirk rejects
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
from the saucer and the social keeps
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
going forward and you just see his
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
reflection as he's watching the ship
[TS]
00:47:43
◼
►
that was very nice and I'm i'm usually
[TS]
00:47:46
◼
►
reflection shots are getting our gimmick
[TS]
00:47:49
◼
►
so it takes a lot for me to like 1i like
[TS]
00:47:52
◼
►
yeah i thought that was good i also like
[TS]
00:47:54
◼
►
when they crashed the saucer which
[TS]
00:47:55
◼
►
brought back yes structure generations
[TS]
00:47:57
◼
►
to me i like that because that you feel
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
very final and then they go back there
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
and that little bit of its much someone
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
yeah i thought that was really great
[TS]
00:48:07
◼
►
that they don't know it'sit's yes crash
[TS]
00:48:09
◼
►
we're gonna go back into the crash and
[TS]
00:48:11
◼
►

[TS]
00:48:14
◼
►
who doesn't who has to be speak through

[TS]
00:48:21
◼
►
the traffic i like that the part where

00:48:23
◼
►
she had to step into like the universal
[TS]
00:48:25
◼
►
translator booth or whatever and then
[TS]
00:48:27
◼
►
yeah give her a little thing I like all
[TS]
00:48:29
◼
►
yeah and I i like i like that subplot to
[TS]
00:48:33
◼
►
of of showing Kirk thinking a couple
[TS]
00:48:36
◼
►
moves a hit he's playing

00:48:37
◼
►

[TS]
00:49:11
◼

think is fundamental that check out in
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
the original series 2 which is that he's
[TS]
00:49:15
◼
►

[TS]
00:49:18
◼
►
very capable but he has a lot to learn
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
and here he sort of learning about being
[TS]
00:49:22
◼
►
you know being a commander and and the
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
tricks that Captain Kirk as and i like
[TS]
00:49:27
◼

[TS]
00:49:29
◼
►
interesting little love little pairing
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
between those two armed
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
oh I wanted to mention the other thing
[TS]
00:49:36
◼
►
that I i thought i saw in the trailer

[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
actually you know that and people after
[TS]
00:49:42
◼
►
they saw the movie where we're talking

[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►
using the Beastie Boys yes yes yes it
[TS]
00:49:50
◼
►
was broad and it was silly and yet I
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
felt like it was properly set up the
[TS]
00:49:53
◼
►
fact that that jayla is listening to
[TS]
00:49:56
◼
►
fight the power earlier and Scotty make
[TS]
00:49:59
◼
►

[TS]
00:50:00
◼
►
that she says she likes the beat and all
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
of that and and again this is a movie
[TS]
00:50:04
◼
►
where every single thing that you see is
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
set up for later in the movie baby comes
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
back around but the fact that they know
[TS]
00:50:11
◼
►
that it's funny and that the and that
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
she pick sabotage and that Kirk goes
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
good choice and like is that classical
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►

[TS]
00:50:20
◼
►
have to use the radial pulse to disrupt
[TS]
00:50:22
◼

[TS]
00:50:27
◼
►
doctor who plot resolution
[TS]
00:50:28
◼
►

[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
set it up properly and it just made me I
[TS]
00:50:32
◼
►
just enjoyed it
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
I I don't have

◼
►
my eyes I wasn't cynical about it was

00:50:38
◼
►

[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
win ok to me that retro actively makes
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
it work and in 2009 I didn't like it in
[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
the 2009 when I was like come on this is
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
stupid and is this makes it pay off
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
this is a beautiful use of it and I mean
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
I i think i said in slack
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
it's almost like a throwaway gag from
[TS]
00:51:01
◼
►
spaced come to life it's like you know
[TS]
00:51:03
◼
►
what if the enterprise had to you know
[TS]
00:51:05
◼
►
fight off the thing using radio and
[TS]
00:51:07
◼
►
these wrap something rap yeah it just
[TS]
00:51:11
◼
►
seems like a joke simon pegg would have
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
made years and years ago and now he gets
[TS]
00:51:14
◼
►
to actually make it happen and I i like
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
that i thought that was great
[TS]
00:51:18
◼
►
yeah that that scene actually it it kind
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
of won me over at the beginning of it I
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
was not I was not on board simply
[TS]
00:51:25
◼
►
because the way that everything was put
[TS]
00:51:28
◼
►
together it was like this is supposed to
[TS]
00:51:29
◼
►
be a really fun scene like you're
[TS]
00:51:32
◼
►
supposed to go along for the ride and at
[TS]
00:51:33
◼
►
that point I kind of had been having a
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
lot of fun to the rest of the movie so I
[TS]
00:51:37
◼
►
was like you haven't earned this film
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
like why am i why should i be having
[TS]
00:51:40
◼
►
little bit but the music for LG
[TS]
00:51:44
◼
►
entertain me with the music and and just
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
the way everything had been properly
[TS]
00:51:49
◼
►
setup at least 44 for that particular
[TS]
00:51:51
◼
►
part it's sort of i couldn't help it i
[TS]
00:51:54
◼
►
ended up i was smiling by the end of it
[TS]
00:51:56
◼
►
and I i liked it in spite of my in spite
[TS]
00:51:59
◼
►
of myself so so yeah it it took a couple
[TS]
00:52:02
◼
►
of of seconds for me to sort of settle
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
into it because I was like wait a minute
[TS]
00:52:06
◼
►
what are you trying to do to be movie
[TS]
00:52:07
◼
►
but you know what it did it to me
[TS]
00:52:09
◼
►
so there you go there's some there's
[TS]
00:52:11
◼
►
some joy to that seem right like that
[TS]
00:52:12
◼
►
they're kind of their kind of moving to
[TS]
00:52:14
◼
►
the music and they are doing their job
[TS]
00:52:16
◼
►
and they are beating the bad guy and
[TS]
00:52:18
◼
►
they have figured it out and they're
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
smart and they're going to win all of
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
those things happen in that moment which
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
is which is what really gets me on its
[TS]
00:52:25
◼
►
side to is like everybody's having a
[TS]
00:52:26
◼
►
good time being the bad guy
[TS]
00:52:29
◼
►
yeah let's do this we're all having a
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
good time now and they figure it out as
[TS]
00:52:33
◼
►
it isn't just current or Spock which is
[TS]
00:52:36
◼
►
a nice touch
[TS]
00:52:37
◼
►
it's like they all they all realize this
[TS]
00:52:39
◼
►
and they put it together together which
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
that was very nice
[TS]
00:52:42
◼
►
now once once they get into the Yorktown
[TS]
00:52:45
◼
►
and especially once they get to know
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
because you have to have the fist fight
[TS]
00:52:50
◼
►
I thought I i did think the setting of
[TS]
00:52:54
◼
►
the fist fight was clever I kind of
[TS]
00:52:55
◼
►
liked having you know a clear room and
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
you know in the middle of space where
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
we're gravity in the air of ya and I
[TS]
00:53:03
◼
►
like the weird gravity lot you know
[TS]
00:53:04
◼
►
again it was a clever concept was it
[TS]
00:53:07
◼
►
shot well I don't think so
[TS]
00:53:08
◼
►
I fundamentally i have a problem with
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
that you know the MacGuffin it is such a
[TS]
00:53:12
◼
►
MacGuffin like to literally to the point
[TS]
00:53:14
◼
►
of we have a box that if you open this
[TS]
00:53:17
◼
►
room with me I will kill everybody
[TS]
00:53:19
◼
►
it's just you know I don't know a I like
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
you said there's got to be a fistfight
[TS]
00:53:24
◼
►
at the end I guess I had that moment in
[TS]
00:53:26
◼
►
this movie where I thought oh I think
[TS]
00:53:28
◼
►
the problem with the series is that they
[TS]
00:53:30
◼
►
are they all it all last one
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
confrontation too long like in Star Trek
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
into darkness if they had ended it where
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
they defeat the the big ship and cons
[TS]
00:53:42
◼
►
ship crashes the end that's a or or con
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
ship is blown up and that's the end I
[TS]
00:53:49
◼
►
think that's a better i think that's a
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
better movie it is i think in in this
[TS]
00:53:55
◼
►
movie when as much as I like the look of
[TS]
00:53:57
◼
►
the Yorktown stuff I felt like they had
[TS]
00:53:59
◼
►
already earned their victory and so now

00:54:16
◼
►
it's like let's do the end of into
[TS]
00:54:18
◼
►
darkness maybe a little bit more
[TS]

[TS]
00:54:22
◼
►
yeah yeah i'm also McCoy and Spock were
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
flying around in that little ship while

◼
►
the whole climax goes on for a very long
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
time but yes we're well he did say he
[TS]
00:54:33
◼
►
didn't know how to land so I see if he's
[TS]
00:54:35
◼
►
always yes it is also he did a couple of
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
circuits in the hallway and exactly and
[TS]
00:54:40
◼
►
that place is really big swing from the
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
splashdown or something but knowing they
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
had to save save Kirk in the end what
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
have we not covered that that you think
[TS]
00:54:49
◼
►
we should mention well one of the I'm
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
not a person who
[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►
notices whether or not the special
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
effects are all that good but one of the
[TS]
00:54:58
◼
►
things that I did notice was there
[TS]
00:55:00
◼
►
seemed to be and this could be someone
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
can check the actual footage and see if
[TS]
00:55:04
◼
►
it's true or not but there seems to be a
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
lot more aliens just kind of milling
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
about in this movie and then in the
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
previous two which I really liked
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
because you always feel like you know
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
their budgets and things that you can't
[TS]
00:55:14
◼
►
have that many great aliens but it
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
always felt like there are humans all
[TS]
00:55:18
◼
►
over the place and then you've got
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
someone who looks kind of like a human
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
but he has a bump on the snows and
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
there's your alien this one they are
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
actually aliens kind of will not
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
actually put their representations of
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
aliens in this fictional universe that
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
are just kind of there at one of my
[TS]
00:55:35
◼
►
favorite moments in the movie is when
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
Kirk is off to separate the saucer and
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
he sees an dancin and he's like I need
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
your help and you think oh she's good
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
she's gonna help him you know with the
[TS]
00:55:47
◼
►
the separating separation of thought
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
yeah but then she disappears you like
[TS]
00:55:51
◼
►
what happened there and then spin once
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
again that you know Jason it gets paid
[TS]
00:55:55
◼
►
off later when she opens her head yes
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
open your head and out comes the part of
[TS]
00:56:02
◼
►
the government the top suit or whatever
[TS]
00:56:04
◼
►
because yeah then choose she's
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
disintegrated with it as a thank you
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
yeah she was kind of dumb I mean I like
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
I liked her aesthetic but but really i
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
don't i don't see why she gave up so
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
quickly like you know people are gonna
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
why don't you just use one of our main
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
characters you decide though I have to
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
say them
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
yes but overall I say thumbs up to
[TS]
00:56:26
◼
►
having lots of aliens everywhere because
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
it makes you feel like Star Trek has
[TS]
00:56:31
◼
►
budget I I loved all the the grace notes
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
and references and in jokes that you
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
know peg being a fan is going to put in
[TS]
00:56:40
◼
►
there right right down to McCoy wearing
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
a medallion at the very end like you
[TS]
00:56:46
◼
►
want to go back out there you go back
[TS]
00:56:48
◼
►
out there that was a nice touch and and
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
he admitted on twitter that yes that was
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
intentionally the the you know McCoy
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
showing up in the motion picture with
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
the medallion and when he they say yeah
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
whatever happened to the front whether
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
rumors that encounter giant green hand
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
and space yes
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
I I was the only person who laughed in
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
the room which was in the credits
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
yeah during the closing credits
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
sequences so there's a little leak and
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
see like just this the side of a giant
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
green hands like a look at know there's
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
a lot of little bits a lot of movie
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
things like i said i felt like i was
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
reminded of many Star Trek movies good
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►
and bad in the little bits that they
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
took that I I felt were you know kind of
[TS]
00:57:29
◼
►
intentional like the dune buggies in
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
emphasis is echoed by the by the
[TS]
00:57:34
◼
►
motorcycle and we got the enterprise
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
blowing up that land which is in
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
although practically all the Star Trek
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
movies but you got kirk's a curse whole
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
thing with his his birthday bothering
[TS]
00:57:43
◼
►
him and him thinking about being an
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
admiral that's a that's a call back i
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
had those interaction feelings about
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
about crawl that you know I is a bunch
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
of different star trek movies kind of
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
remember it all and episodes too and I
[TS]
00:57:58
◼
►
saw a lot of deficits
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
oh yeah so you know in the end I want to
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
see it again
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►
um I didn't I didn't dislike it i just
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
found it I found it kind of flawed and
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
I'm disappointed i guess that the plot
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
didn't make more sense that the address
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
elva wasn't better used I felt like you
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
know the plot was engineered to get us a
[TS]
00:58:18
◼
►
moment of surprise about his origin that
[TS]
00:58:22
◼
►
it didn't really earn and that made him
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
actually like much worse of villain
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
because his story was to truncated and
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
obfuscate adapt and it's too bad that he
[TS]
00:58:34
◼
►
could have been a straightforward alien
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
or a straightforward angry human and it
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
would have been fine but instead he's
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
like a magic trick and it's not as good
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
that way so you know that it's just bits
[TS]
00:58:45
◼
►
of it that I i disappoint me but it's
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
not a bad movie i would say i think it's
[TS]
00:58:50
◼
►
a good I think it's a good movie by the
[TS]
00:58:52
◼
►
standards of star trek to as we've done
[TS]
00:58:53
◼
►
on several episodes there have been some
[TS]
00:58:55
◼
►
really bad Star Trek movies this is one
[TS]
00:58:58
◼
►
of those I just was hoping I think for
[TS]
00:59:00
◼
►
more than I know I got and I have to
[TS]
00:59:02
◼
►
sort of take my pleasure in the parts of
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
it that I do like which is the character
[TS]
00:59:06
◼
►
bits and some of the visuals and and a
[TS]
00:59:08
◼
►
few v specific scenes there there are a
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
lot of scenes that could have been
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
better lit oh it's so dark it's so dark
[TS]
00:59:14
◼
►
I saw 3d showing and that makes it even
[TS]
00:59:17
◼
►
and-and-and like the scenes the fight
[TS]
00:59:20
◼
►
scenes on the enterprise
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
I couldn't even see it wasn't even on
[TS]
00:59:23
◼
►
camera movement I couldn't see what was
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
happening it was so dark and yeah I I
[TS]
00:59:28
◼
►
and i don't know i hope that would look
[TS]
00:59:31
◼
►
better in a 2d screening but maybe not
[TS]
00:59:33
◼
►
AJ's not what I had and I just had
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
moments in the in the enterprise a
[TS]
00:59:38
◼
►
boarding scenes where I i thought to
[TS]
00:59:41
◼
►
myself i have no idea what the hell is
[TS]
00:59:43
◼
►
going on now because I can't see
[TS]
00:59:46
◼
►
anything when when they go back to the
[TS]
00:59:48
◼
►
saucer it's the same thing it's you know
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
it's darker than the saucer flips and
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
you go okay yeah yeah i think overall
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
for me I i would say maybe like roughly
[TS]
00:59:59
◼
►
a quarter
[TS]
00:59:59
◼
►
a quarter
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
of the film and i don't mean this
[TS]
01:00:01
◼
►
chronologically I mean of everything put
[TS]
01:00:02
◼
►
together and I think I actually disliked
[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
about a quarter of it there's a quarter
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
of that i thought was just kind of man
[TS]
01:00:09
◼
►
there was a quarter but I sort of liked
[TS]
01:00:11
◼
►
and there's a quarter that I really did
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
like so I mean on the in the whole ends
[TS]
01:00:15
◼
►
up being positive but it was really kind
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
of a wide split their their peaks and
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
valleys that were sharper than I had
[TS]
01:00:22
◼
►
hoped going in Scotts quite a journey
[TS]
01:00:25
◼
►
I enjoyed the movie it's not perfect
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
obviously star trek though I was excited
[TS]
01:00:31
◼
►
to see ya
[TS]
01:00:32
◼
►
no matter what its form is and I think
[TS]
01:00:36
◼
►
they mean the cast is great
[TS]
01:00:38
◼
►
yes so that the NBA I feel like they
[TS]
01:00:40
◼
►
even in 2009 felt like they were kind of
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
clicking into the carrier the characters
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
that they were playing pretty well and
[TS]
01:00:46
◼
►
now they're doing even better than they
[TS]
01:00:49
◼
►
were before so it's just fun and that's
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
why I like Star Trek is because the
[TS]
01:00:53
◼
►
characters interact with each other so
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
the rest of it is just kind of fun for
[TS]
01:00:57
◼
►
me so that if I enjoy the character
[TS]
01:01:00
◼
►
interactions and I feel like the
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
characters are acting the way that I
[TS]
01:01:04
◼
►
think they would in these situations i'm
[TS]
01:01:06
◼
►
happy and in some Star Trek movies you
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
don't get the head so i think this one
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
hit that base for me so kudos to them
[TS]
01:01:15
◼
►
for that you know I i wonder how much of
[TS]
01:01:17
◼
►
it is the weight of being the 50th
[TS]
01:01:19
◼
►
anniversary of the show right
[TS]
01:01:22
◼
►
how how much weight they feel they had
[TS]
01:01:24
◼
►
to put into all of these references and
[TS]
01:01:27
◼
►
all of these you know it because it's
[TS]
01:01:29
◼
►
guy I had the same feeling with the
[TS]
01:01:30
◼
►
specter the Bond film where it's like
[TS]
01:01:33
◼
►
here's a bond reference and here's a
[TS]
01:01:34
◼
►
bond reference and they forgot to
[TS]
01:01:35
◼
►
actually make a good movie and and this
[TS]
01:01:38
◼
►
i thought was better than Specter but
[TS]
01:01:40
◼
►
you know would would have been with
[TS]
01:01:43
◼
►
they've had more freedom to craft the
[TS]
01:01:46
◼
►
script more they I know they wrote the
[TS]
01:01:48
◼
►
script very quickly to my life I feel
[TS]
01:01:50
◼
►
like maybe this is the pressure that
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
Simon Pegg felt as a as a fan to do
[TS]
01:01:54
◼
►
right by the franchise right at two yeah
[TS]
01:01:56
◼
►
like I said I i think it was fine
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
I the things that i liked about it i
[TS]
01:02:01
◼
►
really really like and intervene
[TS]
01:02:05
◼
►
yeah it's five days out since i saw it i
[TS]
01:02:08
◼
►
buy i changed into darkness about two
[TS]
01:02:10
◼
►
weeks after i saw but I think I will
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
end up watching this more than certainly
[TS]
01:02:15
◼
►
more than into darkness maybe even more
[TS]
01:02:17
◼
►
than the 2009 when I don't know let's
[TS]
01:02:20
◼
►
see but I it's just those interactions
[TS]
01:02:22
◼
►
were so good for me
[TS]
01:02:24
◼
►
well the the other thing i thought when
[TS]
01:02:25
◼
►
i left the theater was you know what the
[TS]
01:02:27
◼
►
next new star trek is it's a TV show
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
that's right anywhere it's true
[TS]
01:02:34
◼
►
not available on your TV it no we went
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
if you're my ambulatory for the world
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
you can get it on netflix if you're in
[TS]
01:02:42
◼
►
canada can watch it on space and if
[TS]
01:02:44
◼
►
you're in the u.s. you get to watch the
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
pilot on CBS and then you'll need to pay
[TS]
01:02:47
◼
►
for CBS all access but you know the
[TS]
01:02:49
◼
►
upside to that is that CBS all access
[TS]
01:02:51
◼
►
also includes all the star trek series
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
as well so you can watch all the Star
[TS]
01:02:55
◼
►
Trek that you want and I think I is so
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
that that was gonna be my last topic
[TS]
01:02:59
◼
►
before we go thinking about the star
[TS]
01:03:02
◼
►
trek discovery is now the the name of it
[TS]
01:03:04
◼
►
and I was thinking about about where
[TS]
01:03:07
◼
►
where the star trek franchise goes and
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
the box office for Star Trek beyond has
[TS]
01:03:11
◼
►
been ok it's not great and it's not as
[TS]
01:03:13
◼
►
good as the first two movies but it is
[TS]

[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
three star trek movies have all been
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
released internationally and the first
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
two did very well internationally much
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
better than any star trek movies
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
previously so you know let's let's just
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
assume it's gonna do fine and they're
[TS]
01:03:33
◼

going to make a fourth movie
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
okay great i think about where this
[TS]
01:03:39
◼

franchise goes I think about like do
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
they want to marvel eyes it right and
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
have more movies that are not just about
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
this cast but our other movie set in the
[TS]
01:03:47
◼
►
star trek universe do what path they
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
want to go down and have a moment of
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
almost like an epiphany where I realized
[TS]
01:03:53
◼
►
the problem is first off I'm not sure
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
enough people love star trek for to be a
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
star wars style movie franchise as much
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
as I love star trek i'm not sure that
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
there are enough people and there's
[TS]
01:04:05
◼
►
enough money for them to put to make a
[TS]
01:04:08
◼
►
machine to release Star Trek movies
[TS]
01:04:10
◼
►
every every year but there's the bigger
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
picture we talked about and passed
[TS]
01:04:14
◼
►
incomparable episodes is Star Trek's not
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
a movie franchise you know it's just not
[TS]
01:04:20
◼
►
it's all its strength is in TV and
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
although you can make these movies and
[TS]
01:04:25
◼
►
if they make more that's great i'll pay
[TS]
01:04:27
◼
►
to see them in the end I think what's
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
what's behind peoples you know lack of
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
enthusiasm for its another sci-fi action
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
movie is just the fact that what a lot
[TS]
01:04:41
◼
►
of people want out of Star Trek is not
[TS]
01:04:44
◼
►
something a movie franchise can give
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
them because star trek is not a movie
[TS]
01:04:48
◼
►
franchise it's a TV series with some
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
spin-off movies so I that moment coming
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
out of the theater which is these movies
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►
are nice i hope they make more of them
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
but at the same time I really am more
[TS]
01:04:58
◼
►
excited about coming back to TV because
[TS]
01:05:00
◼
►
I think that's what Star Trek is and I
[TS]
01:05:01
◼
►
think that Star Trek's like ideal form
[TS]
01:05:03
◼
►
that's what its best at and these things
[TS]
01:05:05
◼
►
are fun but even the original series
[TS]
01:05:07
◼
►
movies right
[TS]
01:05:09
◼
►
it's kind of up it's not what it's it's
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
not what Star Trek's good at its it's
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
not it's best destiny too huh
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
put in Captains terms yeah you know it
[TS]
01:05:19
◼
►
they made the right choice in recasting
[TS]
01:05:23
◼
►
in the way they were able to create a
[TS]
01:05:25
◼
►
second universe of Star Trek for the
[TS]
01:05:27
◼
►
movies because i think to the bulk of
[TS]
01:05:29
◼
►
the world star trek is Kirk and Spock
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
and McCoy and his other people who hang
[TS]
01:05:33
◼
►
out with them and that's fine
[TS]
01:05:36
◼
►
I you know I love them but i think you
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
know part of part of why we fell in love
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
with it was because we saw it every day
[TS]
01:05:43
◼
►
in syndication when we were kids and and
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
the generation after his got next
[TS]
01:05:48
◼
►
generation and deep space nine and
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
Voyager and got to see those every week
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
and then every day and for you know I
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
watch my kids it's it's a presence in
[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
their lives because i like Star Trek
[TS]
01:06:00
◼
►
it's not because they're watching TV
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
it's not because there's a lot of choice
[TS]
01:06:05
◼
►
on TV and like you have you have to
[TS]
01:06:06
◼
►
physically make the choice to watch
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
stuff right
[TS]
01:06:10
◼
►
the stuff that's just you know if you
[TS]
01:06:11
◼
►
just turn on the TV it's probably going
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
to be friends or seinfeld or the big
[TS]
01:06:15
◼
►
bang theory and reality shows
[TS]
01:06:17
◼
►
so you have to actively choose to watch
[TS]
01:06:20
◼
►
something it's great that you can it's
[TS]
01:06:22
◼
►
great that it's all there on netflix and
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
CBS access and all that stuff but it
[TS]
01:06:26
◼
►
doesn't have the same presence for them
[TS]
01:06:29
◼
►
you know and and even star wars star
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
wars is omnipresent because of Disney
[TS]
01:06:33
◼
►
because of you know the same thing with
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
Marvel it's just everywhere and you go
[TS]
01:06:37
◼
►
to the mall and there's the store you go
[TS]
01:06:39
◼
►
here you go and
[TS]
01:06:40
◼
►
and I mean they were asking me where the
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
star trek toys and so while they're in
[TS]
01:06:43
◼
►
the specialty shops because nobody's
[TS]
01:06:45
◼
►
making them for this movie right it's
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
all the older stuff you know if it's
[TS]
01:06:49
◼
►
like it's just not there but if it's a
[TS]
01:06:52
◼
►
new TV show and if it's actively like
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
hey here's the thing here's a new thing
[TS]
01:06:57
◼
►
next week here's another one
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
the excitement you know the
[TS]
01:07:00
◼
►
eleven-year-old walked out friday night
[TS]
01:07:02
◼
►
and said when's the next one that was
[TS]
01:07:04
◼
►
amazing i want to see more
[TS]
01:07:06
◼
►
well you're gonna have to worry about
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
three or four years now we get to see
[TS]
01:07:09
◼
►
something that's going to be a little
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
brainier and tie into the whole universe
[TS]
01:07:12
◼
►
of 600 and however many episodes of
[TS]
01:07:15
◼
►
shows we've got and it's gonna be on
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
every week for a couple of weeks i like
[TS]
01:07:20
◼
►
that a little excited really felt that
[TS]
01:07:24
◼
►
one of the things you said early on
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
there and that's just talking about the
[TS]
01:07:28
◼
►
characters because when I think about
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
the parts of this movie that I like the
[TS]
01:07:32
◼
►
as I said before it was really the
[TS]
01:07:33
◼
►
character parts and for me the Platonic
[TS]
01:07:37
◼
►
ideal of Star Trek is absolutely a TV
[TS]
01:07:40
◼
►
show and that's in part because you get
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
a chance to like you said without it's
[TS]
01:07:45
◼
►
not just the repetition but it's the
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
fact that you get to spend more time
[TS]
01:07:48
◼
►
with these people and you get to know
[TS]
01:07:51
◼
►
them and I think the only reason that we
[TS]
01:07:53
◼
►
are feeling so warm and fuzzy with these
[TS]
01:07:56
◼
►
characters in the movies is because we
[TS]
01:07:58
◼
►
knew the prototype characters in the
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
show back in the day I i do not think
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
that I would have the same same feels
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
about those pairings on this movie if I
[TS]
01:08:10
◼
►
hadn't seen what can I went before
[TS]
01:08:12
◼
►
actually have a friend who had not seen
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
any of the Star Trek movies previously
[TS]
01:08:15
◼
►
done and I don't even know if she'd ever
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
seen the show and she went to this movie
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
was not particularly impressed by it and
[TS]
01:08:21
◼
►
I can't say I blame her because there's
[TS]
01:08:23
◼
►
the E the roots of this movie go back so
[TS]
01:08:27
◼
►
so deeply and it's because of the TV
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
show so i am looking forward to a new
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
crew a new type of star trek on
[TS]
01:08:35
◼
►
television that will have a chance to to
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
let those characters breathe and we'll
[TS]
01:08:40
◼
►
get to see them do more than just one
[TS]
01:08:42
◼
►
thing every couple years you know i wish
[TS]
01:08:45
◼
►
i wish the economics of entertainment
[TS]
01:08:48
◼
►
were such that we could watch even you
[TS]
01:08:50
◼
►
know six or eight hours of
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
these characters doing episodes right
[TS]
01:08:57
◼
►
because i think they would be very good
[TS]
01:08:59
◼
►
at it but they also it would never
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
they would not be able to afford them
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
right it's prohibitively expensive TV TV
[TS]
01:09:07
◼
►
and movies are getting closer together
[TS]
01:09:09
◼
►
and we may we may reach that point but
[TS]
01:09:11
◼
►
that's the unfortunate thing is that you
[TS]
01:09:13
◼
►
can get such a great cast but you can't
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
get them together for a TV show you can
[TS]
01:09:16
◼
►
only get them together every three or
[TS]
01:09:18
◼
►
four years for one movie and that's too
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
bad but that's the power of of TV is
[TS]
01:09:23
◼
►
they're going to cast cast for Star Trek
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
discovery and those people are going to
[TS]
01:09:26
◼
►
be together for at least that you know
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
10 hour or 13 hours or whatever they do
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
season and hopefully for more after that
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
so yeah
[TS]
01:09:37
◼
►
Star Trek so Scott do you do you gasps
[TS]
01:09:40
◼
►
when I said star trek is another
[TS]
01:09:42
◼
►
franchise but there what do you what do
[TS]
01:09:44
◼
►
you think I'm calling on your gasp well
[TS]
01:09:47
◼
►
technically I have to be that way it is
[TS]
01:09:50
◼
►
in fact a movie franchise but you know
[TS]
01:09:52
◼
►
it i agree with you that it is far
[TS]
01:09:54
◼
►
better suited as a television show
[TS]
01:09:56
◼
►
because as erica was saying you can have
[TS]
01:09:58
◼
►
I just watched an episode of deep space
[TS]
01:10:01
◼
►
nine for random track that focused on as
[TS]
01:10:05
◼
►
Redax for some unknown reason but a
[TS]
01:10:06
◼
►
whole hour of her going off and visiting
[TS]
01:10:10
◼
►
her family and you wouldn't that totally
[TS]
01:10:12
◼
►
would not be if they did a deep space
[TS]
01:10:13
◼
►
nine season 7 movie or season 8i guess
[TS]
01:10:17
◼
►
you totally wouldn't have an 45 minutes
[TS]
01:10:19
◼
►
of that movie devoted to ESRI decks just
[TS]
01:10:21
◼
►
going off and chillin with her family
[TS]
01:10:23
◼
►
but when you have whatever 24 episodes
[TS]
01:10:26
◼
►
in the season you can do that because
[TS]
01:10:28
◼
►
you need to fill a lot of time basically
[TS]
01:10:31
◼
►
but you also get to see more of the
[TS]
01:10:33
◼
►
character and it develops and so it's
[TS]
01:10:35
◼
►
great so i am very excited for the TV
[TS]
01:10:39
◼
►
show to come I'm not excited for the
[TS]
01:10:43
◼
►
inevitable articles from Star Trek fans
[TS]
01:10:46
◼
►
that will tell me how this star trek
[TS]
01:10:48
◼
►
isn't real star track and he doesn't
[TS]
01:10:50
◼
►
Hugh to the Roddenberry wishes and all
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
the stuff and there's you know there's
[TS]
01:10:56
◼
►
too much of this and not enough of that
[TS]
01:10:58
◼
►
whatever there are always fans who are
[TS]
01:11:00
◼
►
ready to tell other fans that their
[TS]
01:11:02
◼
►
Fanning it wrong and as we've said
[TS]
01:11:04
◼
►
before on this very podcast those people
[TS]
01:11:07
◼
►
are bad people
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
nobody gets to tell other people what
[TS]
01:11:12
◼
►
they like extract I think it's like I
[TS]
01:11:14
◼
►
said earlier I think it's fine if you
[TS]
01:11:16
◼
►
you you don't like something that's cool
[TS]
01:11:18
◼
►
but uh you know nobody is the arbiter of
[TS]
01:11:21
◼
►
what makes something something even the
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
person who creates it is not the arbiter
[TS]
01:11:26
◼
►
of that once you such release it into
[TS]
01:11:28
◼
►
the public you lose all that control so
[TS]
01:11:32
◼
►
when you know going back to talk about
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
episodes thinking back on our favorite
[TS]
01:11:37
◼
►
Star Trek stories you know across all of
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
the media
[TS]
01:11:41
◼
►
what are you one of the best episodes
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
you know the inner light you're never
[TS]
01:11:46
◼
►
going to get a big screen movie that
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
tells the story of the inner light
[TS]
01:11:49
◼
►
that's a great story never gonna happen
[TS]
01:11:53
◼
►
in a big movie right
[TS]
01:11:55
◼
►
sitting on the edge of forever the
[TS]
01:11:57
◼
►
visitor no but it's gotta be big big
[TS]
01:12:00
◼
►
movie has to be what it has to be
[TS]
01:12:02
◼
►
yeah at and so basically what you're
[TS]
01:12:04
◼
►
getting is you're getting the action
[TS]
01:12:05
◼
►
sequence of a story and that's all you
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
because there aren't other na in a TV
[TS]
01:12:12
◼
►
season you can have all of those
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
different the ebb and flow and the
[TS]
01:12:15
◼
►
different kinds of stories being told
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
but in a in a blockbuster movie in the
[TS]
01:12:19
◼
►
Marvel movies have the same issue which
[TS]
01:12:20
◼
►
is I like civil war because it for many
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
reasons a that are some water starter
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
beyond a they spent they did some
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
character stuff and they're paying off
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
character things from previous movies
[TS]
01:12:31
◼
►
but in the end it's a you know there's a
[TS]
01:12:35
◼
►
maximum amount of time you can spend on
[TS]
01:12:36
◼
►
one of these movies to two-and-a-half
[TS]
01:12:38
◼
►
