Podcast 10: Kang and Cordless Phones

This week, despite the miracle of cordless communication, our major adversary was 15 minute battery life. J.R.'s continued annoyance with Season 3 Trek is another bad vibe worth mentioning. Perhaps the formless creature from "Day of the Dove" got to him. Another factor may be (as he reveals in podcast) that he did actually stare at the Medusan in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" (bad idea).

Notes:

I cut J.R. off before he was able to plug his movie of the month club feature of his blog. Of course if you'd like to participate the address is royfillmore.blogspot.com

Did some quick research and discovered that Mark Lenard, the guy who plays Spock's dad, isn't actually younger than Leonard Nimoy, but is merely six years older.

While editing the podcast I'm kicking myself for not realizing a perfect joke regarding The Prime Directive and "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky." I could have said that The Prime Directive only applies to planets and not planetoids and then made some crack about the directive having no influence on Pluto because of its loss of planetary status. Please feel free to re-word that basic concept into a more humorous joke.

Essential Video for Podcast 9!

Here is that glorious clip from "The Paradise Syndrome" of Captain Kirk doing CPR using the same method as Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber.

Here's that YouTube clip from The Wonder Years that I mentioned during the discussion on "Spock's Brain."

Podcast 9: Kids Belong In Intergalactic Textile Factories

We begin Season 3 with a bang. Not a big bang, mind you. In fact, since we started with four of the most embarrassing episodes of anything ever, we'd probably say that this bang was just about the smallest bang ever. We did have an incredibly fun time talking about them though. Plenty, plenty, plenty of good fodder in what's considered the worst season in the original series.

:40 -- Apologies/welcome/Season 3 intro/continued whining about Blockbuster.com
4:32 -- "Spock's Brain"
14:17 -- "The Enterprise Incident"
25:16 -- "The Paradise Syndrome"
36:02 -- "And the Children Shall Lead"
47:05 -- Goodbyes/end music/outtakes

Podcast 8: My Middle Name Is Not Orville

Finally after a good month's absence we're back with this token episode. No actual episodes of Trek are mentioned, but as promised, we do elaborate on two Trek-themed Futurama episodes and rattle on about some of the work Shatner and Nimoy did in the 70s. Strangely, we take up the same amount of time talking about these episodes as the episodes' actual length.

:40 -- Apologies/theories about short supply of Season 3
6:00 -- Shatner's rendition of "Rocket Man"
8:43 -- Nimoy's rendition of "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"
13:37 -- "Sabotaage"
15:11 -- "Why Must I Be a Crustacean In Love?"
27:05 -- "Where No Fan Has Gone Before"
39:18 -- End and outro

Arrghh! In writing up the chronology I'm now remembering that Janine Garafalo references the pronunciation of "sabotage" in Mystery Men and we didn't talk about it. Arrghh!

Next time we're finally tapping Season 3!
