In part two of our deep dive of "Star Trek III" on "Enterprise Incidents with Scott & Steve" (along with special guest John Rocha), Admiral Kirk and his loyal crew violate Starfleet orders in their efforts to save Spock and McCoy. They steal the Enterprise and return to the Genesis planet, only to find that the Klingons are already there interrogating the survivors of the U.S.S. Grissom -- Lt. Saavik and Dr. David Marcus -- about the so-called Genesis "doomsday weapon." But the Enterprise is not up for a full-on battle with the Klingons, forcing Kirk to make a huge sacrifice and once again turn death into a fighting chance to live. The second half of "The Search for Spock" features many scenes that are among the very best from any of the "Star Trek" films: the stealing of the Enterprise, the battle with the Klingons, Kirk's emotional reaction to the death of his son and, of course, the destruction of the Enterprise itself (which, for many fans, was even more traumatic than the death of Spock at the end of "The Wrath of Khan"). But rather than end with a big action scene, "Star Trek III" concludes on a more intimate note with the resurrection of Spock and his reunion with his friends. It's an emotionally satisfying conclusion that's more effective now than it was back in 1984, thanks to the benefits that come with time and perspective. To put it another way, think of it like this: If Spock died saving the Enterprise in "Star Trek II," then the Enterprise returned the favor in "Star Trek III." "The Search for Spock" may often be criticized for being a bit too somber when compared to its more vibrant and exciting predecessor, but the mood would definitely pick up after that during their voyage home.

Lolani is the first of the really focussed "issue" episodes of Star Trek Continues. It examines the theme of slavery, but even moreso, the theme of apathy in the face of evils such as slavery. It's a hard-hitting drama that really makes you stop and think. Join me as I delve into this latest episode of Star Trek Continues to see what it's all about. ----more---- Transcript Welcome to Nerd Heaven.  I'm Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars. And I am a nerd.   This is episode 96 of the podcast. Today, we're talking about the Star Trek Continues episode “Lolani”   The description on StartrekContinues.com reads A survivor from a distressed Tellarite vessel pulls Captain Kirk and his crew into a moral quandary over her sovereignty.   The teleplay was written by Paul Bianchi With story by Huston Huddleston and Vic Mignogna It was directed by Chris White And it first aired on the 8th of January 2014   And you'll notice that's a good 7 months since the last episode came out. That's the reality of a fan-made web series. This is a show of professional quality, but it's being made by amateurs. It's not their full-time job. They get the work done in the time span that they can. But it meant that each new episode was an event, like a new mini movie coming out. Of course, now, you can binge the entire series, which is great.   First of all, I'd like to say how happy it made me to see this show portraying Kirk as a bookworm. Which of course, he is. I found that the Kelvin universe movies kind of misunderstood Kirk's character, especially his younger self. They portrayed him as this hard-partying bad boy. And I know it was already a new timeline, and the absence of his father explains the differences, but that's not the Kirk we knew in the original series. Young Kirk in the prime timeline was a nerd. He had a reputation at the academy for carrying books wherever he went.   Anyway, Cool to see him so disappointed to have to leave his book behind when the Enterprise picks up a distress call from an unidentified ship.   And cool to see Sulu's viewer rising out of his console. Nice touch.   The ship is Tellarite in design. And this is where we meet Ensign Tongaroa. My first thought when I heard him speak was “Ugh. American's can't do Australian accents.” But I was very quickly corrected when the character says he's from New Zealand.   But he didn't really sound Kiwi to my ears either. Admittedly, I'm not from New Zealand, but we do hear the Kiwi accent, and it has a lot of similarities with the Australian accent. Some definite differences too. Certain vowel sounds come out very differently.   Anyway, I looked up the actor, Daniel Ogan. Turns out, he is indeed from New Zealand. And not only that, as a child, he played Boba Fett in Star Wars Episode 2: Attack the Clones. Which is really cool. Interestingly, in Star Wars, he sounded much more like what I would think of as a Kiwi accent. So I don't know if his accent has changed over time as he's gotten older, or if I'm just talking rubbish and don't have a good ear for these things.   Anyway, it's really cool to have him in the show, and it's always fun to see a fellow Australasian in Star Trek. (and if you're not aware, Australasian is a blanket term that includes both Australia and New Zealand).   There's only one life form aboard, life signs are erratic and life support on the ship is failing. Despite this, Spock is not convinced it would be a good idea to beam the survivor on board. He doesn't really give a reason, other than this being an unknown lifeform.   So what's the alternative, Spock? Just let the person die?   Kirk orders security to the transporter room, which is a reasonable precaution. As Kirk and Spock enter the transporter room, they both say, in unison, “Mr. Scott, you have the bridge.” Kirk remarks at this being strange. And I agree. No explanation is given. Kirk is in command of the bridge at present, so why would Spock get involved?    They're expecting a Tellarite, but instead, they find a scantily dressed Orion woman, an Orion slave girl, threatening the transporter chief with a knife. But she quickly runs into the corridor and ends up cowering near a Jefferies tube, holding the knife. She looks genuinely afraid. And we meet Chief of Security Drake. We never got to know who the chief of security was in TOS. That position didn't really exist in Star Trek lore until TNG. Anyway, the situation is resolved when Spock is able to incapacitate her with a nerve pinch.   She seems a little calmer when they visit her in sickbay later. According to records, she was recently purchased by a Tellarite. She's got some cuts and bruises, and the Tellarite crew are all dead. The obvious conclusion is that she killed them, no doubt due to the way they were treating her.   Obviously, this episode is going to really delve into the issue of slavery. This is the first of the issue episodes on Star Trek Continues. Last episode had some thematic stuff, but this one is very much exploring an issue. We'll see there'll be a lot of these in the series, which is a very Star Trek thing.   The Tellarites were founding members of the Federation. That means we have Federation citizens engaged in the purchase and exploitation of a slave. And that's pretty horrifying. But as we'll see in coming episodes of Star Trek Continues, the Tellarites are a rather problematic member race. Which I think is really interesting. We tend to think of the Federation as this big club where everyone has the same values. But the reality of holding together so many disparate species would be somewhat less utopian. There would be internal struggles. It would be a constant effort to keep this thing together. I don't think that goes against Roddenberry's utopian vision, but it's a much more DS9 kind of take on it. I like it.   There is an elephant in the room when looking at the idea of Orion Slave girls. And that is Enterprise. Enterprise season 4 did an interesting episode that explored Orion Culture more so than had ever been done before. They were practically an untouched species, which is interesting, given that date all the way back to TOS. The big revelation of that episode was that it was the men, not the women, who were really the slaves, due to the women having a pheromone they can use to control the men.   Now I interpreted this a little less literally than it seems the writers of this episode did. The way I saw it was that, yes, technically the women are bought and sold as slaves, but with their powers, they manipulate and control the men, behind the scenes, from a position that appeared subservient. And that idea, I think, is not at odds with anything else portrayed in Star Trek about them.   This episode addresses the issue with Spock explaining that around 70 years ago, Orion women held dominion over men but there was a revolt and civil war. The men gained control. Rather than ending the slave trade, they made it worse.   This dialog is clearly meant to be a way of reconciling this episode, and the rest of Star Trek, with Enterprise. But I'm not convinced it actually works. It implied that the women enslaved the men in a more literal way than I think the Enterprise episode intended to suggest. And I'm not sure any reconciling really needed to be done.   But either way, it's a fascinating concept. Think about it. A civil war between the two sexes. Procreation of the species would be very difficult under such circumstances. And in fact, the only way that the species could have survived takes my mind to a place that I don't really want to think about.   At this point in time, Women are kept uneducated and subservient to keep them from rising up again, and as punishment for the past.   The age-old problem of trying to make a right with two wrongs.   The slave doesn't speak until Dr. Makenna arrives. She reveals her name is Lolani. She didn't know whether the crew of the Enterprise were friend or foe, so she kept silent, and listened. Not a bad way to go. Listening less and speaking more is usually wise.   To add extra tragedy, she was born off-world, but forced back to Orion and into slavery when her parents died. So she has known freedom and then been forced into slavery. I can only speculate, but I suspect that may be even more painful because you'll know what you're missing.   Lolani is played by Fiona Vroom. Fun bit of trivia, Fiona Vroom appeared in Star Trek Beyond as an Orion crew member. So ….. Was that the Kelvin timeline version of Lolani? My headcanon would like to say it is. Beyond came out 2 years after this episode, so I can't help but wonder if her cameo was a deliberate reference to this episode. I believe JJ Abrams was interested and enthusiastic about Star Trek fan productions, and even spoke in defence of the controversial Star Trek Axanar during their lawsuit with Paramount. Who can say, but in my headcanon, in the Kelvin timeline, Lolani had a better life and entered Starfleet. I guess her parents didn't die in that timeline.   Kirk feels like he has rescued Lolani, but Commodore Gray has some bad news for him. According to Orion law, Lolani reverts to being the property of the one who sold her, once her owner dies. The Orions are not members of the Federation (they'd never qualify while they support Slavery). The owner has been notified and is already on his way.   This kind of thing is a very real problem in our world. Different nations have different rules. If we want them to respect our laws, we have to likewise respect theirs. Even if we disagree with them. But what if one of their laws is something as immoral as slavery?   What it comes down to, as the commodore admits, they can't afford an inter-stellar incident over one person.   Mackenna and Lolani talk as they walk through the corridor. There's a lot of echo in the dialog in this scene. A rare moment when the ameteur nature of this show peeks out from behind the curtain, perhaps. There was also something about the acting at the start of this scene that didn't quite work for me somehow. Mackenna explains that while there are some generalised differences between males and females, people in the Federation are treated as individuals. They are not defined by their gender. There are a whole bunch of different things that make up a person.   We get a very 60s TV moment when they arrived on the bridge all the male crewmembers stare with googly eyes. Now, the sight of an attractive woman wearing very little clothing IS distracting. I can't deny that. That's just biology. But when you're at work, you don't ogle people like this. I'd have expected the crew of a Federation starship to show a little more professionalism than that.   I don't think Scotty is flirting with her when he takes her to see his station. I think he's being friendly, but also he sensed that Mackenna needed a moment to speak with Kirk privately.   Spock has found physical evidence that Lolani was involved in the death of the Tellarite, and likely is the killer.   Kirk is subtly encouraging Lolani to think about changes that could be made to her planet's culture, for the better, by lending her a book.   When confronted with the evidence, Lolani tells an implausible story about how it all just happened while she was hiding with her eyes closed. When Kirk doesn't buy it, she asks “if you were a slave, wouldn't you just want to be free?” And Kirk agrees. He hates the idea of a sentient being enslaved, but he says something that I think is very important. “The truth always matters.”   When she learns her previous owner is on his way to collect her, Lolani tries to use her sexuality to manipulate Kirk. And given the circumstances, the bleak future that lies ahead of her, it's hard to blame her. She'll do anything to escape that brutal mistreatment she knows is waiting for her.   Kirk tries not to succumb, because he's not an idiot. He knows what is appropriate and what isn't. He knows getting involved with Lolani in that way is a bad idea. But remember female Orions have those pheromones with which they can influence people.   It's Uhura's call on the intercom that helps Kirk snap himself out of it. There's a nice moment where they both apologise. Kirk promises to do whatever he can to help Lolani.   But she can't just leave it at that. Again, I don't blame her for doing anything she can to escape her fate. And she continues to use the one tool she feels she has. The transporter chief has less moral strength than Kirk. He's trying to fly her away in a shuttle craft.   With evidence that proves two of the Tellarites were killed by Lolani, Spock says “she is no longer an unfortunate slave. She may be a murderer.”   Of course, it's likely that she is both.   Notice that Spock says she MAY be a murderer. They know she killed two of those tellarites. But there may have been extenuating circumstances. She may have killed them out of self-defense, which is technically not murder.   With Lolani confined to quarters, Kirk asks McCoy if there is a medical defence against Orion pheromones. McCoy says there is a known inoculation and he can begin immediately. If the issue is so well known that they already have an inoculation on file and ready to go, I have to wonder why it's taken this long before anyone has thought about it.   In fact, I wonder why it isn't included in the standard set of vaccinations for Starfleet personnel. In the real world, military officers are inoculated against all sorts of things as a matter of course. You can't afford your soldiers getting sick from preventable diseases when they're busy in the line of duty. I imagine Starfleet would be the same. We know there are a lot of dangerous alien diseases out there. It would be quite logical to inoculate starfleet officers against Orion pheromones as a matter of course. The risk of one of your people being mind-controlled seems a reasonable reason to do so.   It's possible Lolani may have blocked out much of what happened on the Tellarite ship, and genuinely doesn't remember. So Spock is going to mind meld with her. The fact she's willing to trust him and consents to the procedure suggests she's not deliberately hiding anything.   She killed the tellarites in self-defense, while they were trying to rape her.   Kirk and Spock are in a difficult position. They know Lolani is right. It's wrong to send her back to be beaten, and worse. She could be a voice in the Federation for her people, but not if they send her back in chains.   In the conference room, MacKenna plead's Lolani's case to the senior crew. She makes a good point. “Starfleet aren't here. Perhaps if they were, they'd see things differently.” In a lot of ways, this ties into a classic Star Trek theme. The needs of the many vs the needs of the few - or the one. Starfleet is willing to turn a blind eye to one woman's slavery because to do otherwise would risk an inter-stellar incident - perhaps war.   When the owner, Zaminhon, arrives, Kirk's plan is dinner. Pull out all the stops for him. All Kirk can hope is that they can somehow change this man's mind.   He's a very intimidating-looking bloke. The actor has an amazing deep voice. I don't know if there's some artificial enhancement going on, or if it's all natural. But it really suits the big Orion.   I laughed at Scotty's line. “He seems nice. For a slave trader.”   The transporter chief, Kenway, fabricates a story about orders to get into Lolani's quarters to see her. He still seems very smitten. Despite his inoculation, he seems to still be suffering effects from his previous exposure to her pheromones.   That said, he seems to genuinely want to help her, not because she's attractive, but because it's right. Lolani has some good things to say. Kenway feels that he's nobody. That he can't make a difference. Lolani says that everybody is somebody. That's the message that needs to reach people on her planet. And she mentions a quote that is apparently falsely attributed to a guy named Edmund Burke. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” And that is what's happening here.   In the end, Kenway just says sorry and leaves. What can he do? It must be very difficult for the crew to laugh and chat with this slave driver. Especially McKenna. Zaminhon confirms that the male Orions do have a natural scent, but it's been kept from developing the same potency as the female pheromones.   Whatever Kirk's plan, in trying to charm Zaminhon is shattered when Scotty casually says “Lolani says you're a brutal monster.”   Zaminhon just laughs it off and says he treats his slaves well. Kirk's plan starts to come out as he plays along, pretending to be as comfortable with slavery, even offering McKenna to him for a price. Zaminhon surprisingly sees and even defends McKenna's value as a person. She is civilised and capable. Slavery is not for her. An interesting admission from him. Then Kirk drives in the knife. What about Lolani? She is every bit as capable. She has a thirst for knowledge. But even without that, as a woman, she has a fundamental right to be free.   Of course it doesn't work. As Zaminhon points out, “We're not going to change each other's minds over a fine dinner.” Which is quite true.   Still, Kirk had to try. That's who he is. That's the Starfleet way. You talk. You reason.   With the crew out of ideas, it's Spock who has to verbalise it. “Then it might be time to say goodbye.”   The guard at Lolani's door is terrible at his job. You don't just abandon your post to check with the captain because a visiting alien tells you he'll take it from here. He has orders, and until they are countermanded from up in the chain of command, those orders stand. By walking away he leaves the door unguarded so Zaminhon can enter Lolani's quarters.   Zaminhon doesn't even wait to get off the Enterprise before starting the physical abuse. Honestly, I don't think he cares. Starfleet have to abide by Orion law in this case and he knows it.   Of course, that doesn't stop Kirk from intervening when he enters to tell Lolani the bad news.   The re-used TOS music fits so well into the scene. It's a lot more than just a copy-and-paste job.   Kirk has one last-ditch idea. And it's something of an ethical dilemma. He offers to buy Lolani from Zaminhon. It's a trope you often see in fiction. The hero buys the slave for the sole purpose of setting her free.   On the one hand, it's a good thing as it's an effective way of freeing a slave. On the other hand, it means taking part in the morally reprehensible practice. It is morally justified to engage in slave trade in order to free a slave? Probably.   Zaminhon is not impressed. He refuses to sell, out of spite, for Kirk's hypocrisy. There is no price he'd accept to sell Lolani to him. He won't let Kirk win this one.   Commodore Gray is not impressed. She likens his intervening when Zaminhon hit Lolani to striking a foreign politician. She reiterates the Federation's position. They will noit risk war over one slave. And I do understand their point. How many will die, be tortured and abused if this leads to war? I'm not saying they're right, but I certainly understand their position. Gray says it's the job of the diplomats to fight this issue of slavery. Kirk is ordered to return Zaminhon to his ship with Lolani. I can't see that these diplomats are going to be very effective in their efforts, unfortunately. Orions have practised slavery since they discovered fire. And they're now an interstellar civilisation. Zaminhon leads Lolani to the transporter pad, back in her skimpy slave outfit and chains.   Kenway is on duty so he has to be the one to push the button. He doesn't take it well.  The look on the actor's face sells it beautifully. This is where Kirk realises Kenway's feelings, whatever they are, are real. Not something you can inoculate against. He knows this because he's feeling it too. Not a sexual attraction, but a desire for justice. It's going around and around in his head. He was determined to help Lolani. And he failed.   That's when he announces to the crew that he is about to commit a direct violation of his orders. He'll take full responsibility. This is a very Kirk action. Even Picard has been known to do something like this.   As the Enterprise closes on Zaminhon's ship, ready to beam Lolani aboard, the ship explodes. Everyone is devastated. Evidently, Lolani sabotaged the ship, preferring to due than to live as a slave. If Kirk had been just a few minutes sooner he could have saved her.   But then, what would have happened to Kirk? I suspect it would have ended his career. This isn't Admiral Kirk of the movie era, who can get away with anything. This is young Captain Kirk, still in his first 5 year mission.   Lolani left a video message for Kirk. She believes her death will mean nothing, but Zaminhon's death may light a fire in the hearts of the people on her world - young girls desperate to be free, and maybe some men, who don't want to be a part of enslaving them.   Kenway asks Kirk for a leave of absence from Starfleet. He has been deeply touched by Lolani's words. Her message. He wants to take up her cause. Kirk gives him Lolani's recording. Will he make a difference? I don't know. But a good man is about to stop doing nothing.   This was actually a really powerful message show, perhaps one of the best that Star Trek has ever done, which is saying a lot for a fan-made production.   I really like this ending. It's not a happy ending, but it's a fitting one. And it gives hope. Even meaning to Lolani's life and death.   I think when you get down to it, the real message of this story is about apathy. I mean, you'd be hard-pressed to find a human being in this world today that believes slavery is a good and acceptable thing. But how does that belief affect our actions?   Slavery does still exist in some form in our world today. Not like it used to be, not like the Orions suffer, but it does exist. I don't know enough about it. I find myself feeling challenged to learn more. To see what might be able to be done.   How about you?   I hope you've enjoyed my thoughts on Lolani. Next time we'll be looking at another amazing episode. A direct sequel to the original series episode Mirror Mirror.   Until then, have a great 2 weeks Live long and prosper. Make it so.

From Hell's heart, we take a stab this week at encompassing the excellence of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"!New York Times and USA Today best-selling author David R. George III returns to the show to discuss the sequel to "The Motion Picture" and many fans' pick for the best Star Trek film. As he turns 50, Admiral Kirk has resigned himself to the fact that his days of space-faring danger are behind him. But when an old flame asks for his help recovering a dangerous experiment, he'll learn that danger isn't through with him and that some debts can never be repaid. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" wasn't exactly a failure, but Paramount had no interest in spending another $45 million dollars while dealing with Gene Roddenberry. So instead, they spent $12 million dollars and hired TV producer Harve Bennett to make the sequel to the first film. Eventually, Bennett hired novelist, screenwriter, and Trek virgin Nicholas Meyer to direct (and later write) the film. Meyer envisioned Star Trek II as a rollicking naval adventure in the style of Horatio Hornblower . . . apparently unaware that the British naval hero was one of the chief inspirations for the Original Series. Meyer changed a lot about what audiences knew about Trek, both on the big and small screen, but he did so in a way that only underlined the core of the characters we had come to know and love. On this episode, we talk about the human and relatable themes in WoK, Meyer's incredible achievement in writing the script in 12 days, the bold use of negative space in the film, the film's impressive editing, the controversies associated with the film, and its lasting legacy.We also discuss getting old, literary antiheroes, injecting some fresh blood, bucking tradition by embracing a different one, fixing the air conditioner, and killing Spock the *right* way!It's the most fun movie about, death, loss, and absentee parenting!Learn more about David's work and read his film reviews!https://drgiii.comhttps://moviereviewsbygeorge.com/Learn the story behind your favorite Trek episodes with BackTrekking!http://www.twitter.com/backtrekkingLend us an ear on Facebook and Twitter and the Just Enough Trope Discord!http://www.facebook.com/eistpodhttp://www.twitter.com/eistpodhttps://discord.gg/WVvCHVWqzfBuy us an apple on Patreon and Ko-Fi!http://www.patreon.com/eistpodhttps://ko-fi.com/E1E01M2UASubscribe to the show on iTunes!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprising-individuals/id1113165661?mt=2

Star Trek: The Motion Picture was the first big-screen adventure for the Star Trek crew, with Kirk's return to the Enterprise leading to problems in the chain of command as Earth faces an existential threat. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss killer clouds and old friends. Alerted to the approach of a deadly cloud, presumed to be masking some kind of weapon, Admiral Kirk wrestles control of the Enterprise away from Commander Decker (Stephen Collins) and sets an intercept course, stopping along the way to put the band back together. With Decker's former lover Lt. Ilia (Persis Khambatta) aboard and the commander smarting over losing his vessel, there is tension in the air even before the strange entity is encountered. Kirk and his crew must find a way to prevent Earth's destruction and persuade the entity to stand down before it is too late. Star Trek: The Motion Picture was directed by Robert Wise, his only work for the franchise. The teleplay was by Harold Livingston from a story by Alan Dean Foster. In this episode Gerry and Iain considered whether a refit is as good as a rest! The discussion continues in the comments below and please keep in touch with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram where we're @trekpodcast. You can listen to the show here on the website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Pocket Casts, TuneIn, Stitcher, Google or wherever you find your podcasts. Star Trek: The Motion Picture was released in 1979. It is 2 hours and 12 minutes long. It can be viewed on Paramount+ in the United States and is available on DVD and Blu Ray in other countries.

This week on Fabulous Film and Friends we're transporting you into our largest, swankiest and most epic discussion panel yet, taking two full shows to dig deep into 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture, directed by Robert Wise, Produced by Gene Roddenberry, creator of the late 1960's TV show from which The Motion Picture's premise originated, and starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForrest Kelley, Stephen Collins, a strikingly bald Persis Khambatta as well as the rest of the TV crew in what was and still is one of the most unusual, hotly contested, debated and derided successful sci-fi film franchise launches ever to hit cinema houses.  Making their Triple FFF debut on this embarrassment of cerebral riches are the co-hosts of the eponymously named Ken and Dante Show, my friends and former roommates, Kendrick Wright and Dante Oliviero.  It should be noted that their Youtube program was the one that inspired me to pick up a mic and start blathering my own opinions into the frontier we call cyberspace.  Returning for his second appearance on the Triple FFF podcast after his dazzling 2001 breakdown and analysis, fellow East Bay denizen friend and mentor, Sound Mixer extraordinaire Bob Gitzen.And rounding out the panel, back once again, a friend who beat me hollow in the world of Star Trek memorabilia collecting, fellow Trekkie Burton Brown.Before we warp  to the edge of the mind, the synopsis! Star Trek:The Motion Picture begins two and a half years since Admiral James T. Kirk has logged a single star hour as commanding officer of a starship, but when a mysterious and highly destructive energy cloud known as V'ger destroys a Klingon fleet on its way to Earth, Admiral Kirk gets his ship the U.S.S. Enterprise back, replacing a very testy and outspoken Captain Willard Decker, who objects to Admiral Kirk's taking command when he has a distinct lack of knowledge about the newly refitted and highly advanced Starship Enterprise. Deckard stays aboard as Executive Officer and Kirk is joined by his old crew personnel, including the logical Vulcan Mr. Spock, Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott, Master Helmsman of the Universe Hikaru Sulu, Communications Officer Nyota Uhura, Weapons Officer 8 Pavel Chekov, Dr. Christine Chapel, Commander Janice Rand and a new Navigator, the Deltan Lt. Ilia who is completely bald and who once had a love affair with Will Deckard on her home planet.   With his crew at his side, Kirk faces the V'ger threat head on and takes the Enterprise deep into the energy cloud. For its part, V'ger sends a probe that invades the ship and  randomly zaps Lt. Ilia, completely disintegrating her, only for her to return as a fully functioning advanced robot than can communicate directly with Kirk and his crew.  Discovering that a machine planet found an old 20th Century NASA Voyager probe with a grease splotch covering the o-y-a, hence the name V'ger, whose programming was to learn all that was learnable, the machines built an enormous ship for V'ger to accomplish that aim.  Achieving a higher consciousness and a need to evolve in the bargain, V'ger threatens to destroy Earth unless it can meld with a human in order to achieve its ultimate kernal of wisdom: carnal knowledge. And lo' Will Deckard sacrifices his life to join with V'ger in its Ilia form and a new being is born.  Having saved Earth from V'ger's destructive force, Kirk, Spock, McCoy and crew warp off to new adventures.  Was there a point to this film? And was it indeed BORING? Find out!   

Review time so soon? Actually this is the right time, we are finally gettin our heads out of butts and doin it right. Six films today and we ain't wasting no mo time. Today we start off with (No deposit no return 1976). Don Knotts and the guy whose rad wife broke his electric sex lamp star with one of the kids from escape from witch mountain, in this not silly enough Disney film that really does not promote street smarts. Cue Don Knotts doin bug eyes. Next we Have James Caan and the first captain Janeway n this western that actually has a 70's car in it for a second. It also has bad ass Susan Tyrell as a teacher giving the kids arms training. We coulda of used her to teach street smarts in the last film. (Another man another chance 1977) was quite a pleasant surprise for me, and I like those. Onward into (Damnation alley 1977) Where Jan Michael Vincent, Rorschach, and a cool van see to it that Paul Winfield, who's never even met Admiral Kirk, gets killed off way too soon. (Fire sale 1977) has Alan Arkin in the director's chair again for this wacky arson thrill ride that I liked better than the other 2 Decade under the influence crewmates. Please see this film under the influence. Next up we see my parents and friends parents roll their eyes and sigh as lil me once again grabs (Attack of the killer tomatoes 1978) off the video store shelf. Our fearless crew finally take on this low budget spoof and see if it holds up to adult eyes, or will we just roll them. Lastly we review (St. Jack 1979). R.I.P. Peter Bogdanovich, who actually appears in this film way more than your usual directors cameo's. Also we found him to look like an older brother to Rick Moranis. St. jack follows Jack, played amazingly by Ben Gazzara as he walks around Singapore knowing absolutely everyone in town. Thanks y'all, and if for some reason you like our shows please spread the word. Our people are out there somewhere, please help us find them.

As every fan of the original "Star Trek" series knows, the classic Season 2 episode "The Changeling" and the first feature film "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" have a whole lot in common -- so much, in fact, that fans have often referred to that first movie as "Where Nomad Has Gone Before." And, actually, it's true! That's why we're following our "Enterprise Incidents" deep dive of "The Changeling" with the deep dive conversation of "The Motion Picture" that co-hosts Steve Morris & John Rocha did on their podcast series "The Cine-Files," where they were conveniently joined by special guest (and "Enterprise Incidents" co-host) Scott Mantz. And as it turns out, their love for "The Motion Picture" ran so deep (and so long) that they had to divide it into two parts. In Part 1, an alien of unbelievable destructive power is heading towards Earth, and the only Federation Starship in interception range is the USS Enterprise. But after going off in separate directions for the past 2 1/2 years, it turns out that the original bridge crew is a little rusty, not to mention the fact that Admiral Kirk pulled a nasty move to get the Enterprise back. Plus, the Enterprise has been completely refit, and Scotty is still working out the kinks. And what of Mr. Spock, who rejoins the crew with questionable motives? There's a lot going on in just the first half of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," a largely underrated film that has actually aged better than any other "Star Trek" movie over these years and now stands as one of the very best of the bunch.

In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films and one of the films most widely considered to be the favourite film of fans and non-fans alike of the "Star Trek" motion picture franchise: "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" directed by Leonard Nimoy. The third part in an unofficial trilogy of films, the story of the film sees Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew of Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Scotty (James Doohan), Sulu (George Takei), Chekov (Walter Koenig), and Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) returning home to Earth from a three month exile on the planet Vulcan to stand trial for the events of the previous film - most notably stealing the USS Enterprise NCC-1701, which lead to the ship's destruction, and taking possession of a Klingon Bird of Prey type starship. However, as a result of an approaching alien probe that threatens all life of Earth if a response cannot be found to answer the powerful transmission of the probe, and after a planet-wide distress signal is broadcast warning all approaching vessels to stear clear of Earth or face the same fate. Admiral Kirk and his crew aboard the Klingon Bird of Prey, the "HMS Bounty", after analysing the call of the probe, realise that the only lifeforms capable of responding to the alien probe are the now-extinct species of humpback whales - which leads Admiral Kirk and his crew to determine that the only solution available to them is to attempt to time-travel to the 20th Century to find some humpback whales so that they can be returned to the 23rd Century so that they may assist humanity in their time of need and desperation. The film also stars Catherine Hicks as Dr. Gillian Taylor, Mark Leonard as Sarek (Spock's father), and Jane Wyatt as Amanda Gryson (Spock's mother). The beautiful soundtrack of the film was composed by Leonard Rosenman. And the dedicated to the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger which broke up 73 seconds after takeoff on the morning of January 28th, 1986. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/markthepoet/message

In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite "Star Trek" films, and one of his favourite films of all time: the 1982 American science fiction film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" directed by Nicholas Meyer. The story of the film sees Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 face-off against an old adversary of theirs by the name of Khan Noonien Singh (played by Ricardo Montalbán) - a genetically engineered criminal from the 20th Century - who in his opinion was marooned with his crew and his beloved wife 15 years before by then Captain Kirk on a planet that over time was transformed from a world filled with life to one that now resembles a wasteland. However, when Khan learns that there is a secret "Genesis Device" that has been created capable of transforming a lifeless planetoid into a perfect haven for his people, Khan decides to steal a starship in order to obtain this new device that could be seen as a weapon - and Khan also decides to impart his wrath of revenge against the now Admiral Kirk for all the loss that has been sustained. The film once again stars Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, and also stars Bibi Besch, Merritt Butrick, Paul Winfield, and Kirstie Alley. And the phenomenon score was composed by the late great James Horner. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/markthepoet/message

Serpents In the Garden. In the classic episode "A Private Little War," Captain Kirk took it upon himself to balance the power between two factions on a primitive world when it is discovered that the Klingons are backing one side. It was a story that demanded a follow-up, but one never came. Until now. In his new novel Serpents In the Garden, Jeff Mariotte puts now-Admiral Kirk back into battle on Neural when it is learned that the Klingons may once more be interfering in the planet's affairs. Taking matters into his own hands yet again, Kirk embarks on a secret mission to expose the Klingons while trying to minimize the damage that he may have caused decades earlier. In this episode of Literary Treks we're joined by Dan Gunther of Trek Lit Reviews to discuss the book, the use of red shirts, an invicible Kirk, and a more mugatos than you can shake a fire stick at. We also explore the naivity of intervention and how the story both succeeds and fails depending on how you approach it. In our news segment we share initial thoughts on IDW's graphic adaptation of Harlan Ellison's original script for "The City On the Edge of Forever," learn about Highscore Music's upcoming German audio drama adaptation of Death In Winter, and take a peek at IDW's September Star Trek comics lineup.
