00:07:57 ◼   ► know Hollywood you know action-adventure [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► TV series school and so there's always [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► something it's like they're not bringing [TS]

00:08:13 ◼   ► happens for ever and star trek you know [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► there's usually a fistfight at some [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► point fairly quickly and dramatic music [TS]

00:08:22 ◼   ► and so even kids race and dramatic music [TS]

00:08:25 ◼   ► well that's true they couldn't you know [TS]

00:08:27 ◼   ► they they just keep reusing it right but [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► shirts with well yeah primary colors [TS]

00:08:51 ◼   ► bright colors and some action right [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► direction where I characters and I think [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► fact that it's not too i mean it hasn't [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► entered the area of of jump cuts and and [TS]

00:09:02 ◼   ► fast editing and that kind of thing it's [TS]

00:09:04 ◼   ► it's kind of the right speed for a kid [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► right of that age who hasn't necessarily [TS]

00:09:09 ◼   ► been ruined by music videos yet so you [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► can you can kind of follow the plot it's [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► not intimidating even if it's an insane [TS]

00:09:16 ◼   ► plot and you think why why don't they do [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► some guests right even though it makes [TS]

00:09:21 ◼   ► it actually works better as a [TS]

00:09:23 ◼   ► nine-year-old because you aren't asking [TS]

00:09:24 ◼   ► too many questions about the plots [TS]

00:09:27 ◼   ► you're just sort of accepting the things [TS]

00:09:30 ◼   ► years worth of science fiction tropes to [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► fall back on to go and that's not really [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► how time travel works well I assume [TS]

00:09:56 ◼   ► anything created 45 years ago on TV [TS]

00:09:59 ◼   ► would be conceivably watchable by a kid [TS]

00:10:02 ◼   ► today it's kind of amazing because you [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► know it's so much of the stuff from that [TS]

00:10:06 ◼   ► era the pit [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► justjust the pacing stuff alone it would [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► be enough to do so much stuff from that [TS]

00:10:12 ◼   ► era is just a snooze even to me because [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► it's so slow compared to what we have [TS]

00:10:17 ◼   ► now but Star Trek you know I think again [TS]
