"765874 - Unification" isn't just the return of William Shatner as James Kirk, it's also the return of Robin Curtis as Saavik and Gary Lockwood as Gary Mitchell. But what does it all mean, maman?We're talking about all of the OTOY/Roddenberry Archive shorts up to the latest, Unification, as well as the extended media that inspired the content from the shorts such as William Shatner's "Return" novels, the Marvel Star Trek: Early Voyages story that introduced the Well of Tomorrows and gave us Yeoman Colt's serial number (765874), Star Trek #400, and the novel "Vulcan Heart" as well as give our thoughts about this short and what it might mean.765874   https://youtu.be/Ng8qTIythnA765874 - Memory Wall  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzeznWVQu5o765874 - Regeneration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KXU2Ob8gYY765874 - Unification  https://youtu.be/mgOZFny7F50Hosts:David C.

Wiz RECOMMENDS Star Trek III: The Search For Spock After three Star Trek films I have come to a realization: I'm a Star Trek fan. The characters are charismatic and interesting. It has a clear and distinct vision. And for someone who likes military on film, Star Trek's intellectual spin on militarism is surprisingly fun and interesting. But Star Trek III: The Search for Spock continues where the excellent Wrath of Khan left off with a simple conceit: Spock is believed to be on the Genesis planet and Kirk has to find a way to get him back. And that simple story leads a fairly brisk 1 hour and 45 minute film. The film is slight, but doesn't feel it: it's just a fun, engaging film that continues the story. But one interesting the film showcases is Vulcan mysticism: the whole concept of Spock's "mind meld" and what it does to Bones is interesting, but it is paired with the fascinating beliefs of the Vulcans. But the film has a few snags: first, the special effects are a step down from Wrath of Khan...which in turn was a step down from The Motion Picture. In defense of Spock, there is one action scene involving the Enterprise and a Klingon warship and it's not a bad sequence, it just isn't as visually interesting. Also, the hand-to-hand combat in the end...laughably bad. But the biggest step down from the last movie is that of Saavik. This character was a training recruit of Spock played by Kirstie Alley, who did a decent job in the role. In this film, it's played by Robin Curtis...which is a rather sizable downgrade. Now, I can imagine that playing a character who is supposed to be unemotional but still someone who is likable is a hard thing to manage...but Curtis essentially plays her as someone who sounds like a robot. On top of that, she looks unnatural in the role itself. Still, The Search for Spock does two things well: make it's story entertaining and want to watch the next story, which is precisely what it did. After Wrath of Khan, it's a satisfying continuation of the story.

We had too much fun this week chatting with the hilarious, Robin Curtis! Whether you know her as Saavik in Star Trek III & IV, or Tallera in Star Trek: The Next Generation, get ready to learn about the woman behind some of your favorite female Vulcans!Each week, we explore and celebrate the lives that the Star Trek universe has forever changed. From former and future cast and crew members to celebrities, scientists, and astronauts whose personal and professional journeys have been affected by the franchise, we sit down and dive deep with a new friend, laughing and learning from their stories. Sit back, grab a drink, and join alongside our hosts, Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer, as we get geeky in The D-Con Chamber.Let's get social! -

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.

On Episode 149 of the RETROZEST podcast, Curtis kicks off a celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the premiere of STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK! This film is a 1984 American science-fiction action/drama written and produced by Harve Bennett, directed by Leonard Nimoy, and based on the television series Star Trek. It is the third film in the Star Trek franchise and is the second part of a three-film story arc that begins with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and concludes with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986). After the death of Spock (Nimoy), the crew of the USS Enterprise return to Earth. When James T. Kirk (William Shatner) learns that Spock's spirit, or katra, is held in the mind of Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Kirk and company steal the decommissioned USS Enterprise to return Spock's body to his homeworld. The crew must also contend with hostile Klingons, led by Kruge (Christopher Lloyd), who are bent on stealing the secrets of the powerful terraforming device, Genesis. Assisting Curtis in this endeavor in an exclusive interview is ROBIN CURTIS, the actress who portrayed Lt. Saavik in the film. Before Star Trek III, Robin had already made several film and made-for-television movie appearances. Her performance in the film drew a mixed reception from Trek fans, since she replaced Kirstie Alley (who portrayed Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan). She reprised the role of Saavik for a brief appearance in 1986's Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and also in the podcast series Starship Excelsior. Curtis and Robin had a great discussion about the making of the film, and how it is her first and biggest acting role. Please connect with her on Facebook and Instagram. Contact Curtis at podcast@retrozest.com, or via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Also, check us out on TikTok!

“Cheers actor Kelsey Grammer was offered the role of Captain Morgan Bateson and accepted. Due to scheduling conflicts, Kirstie Alley was unable to reprise her Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan role as Lt. Saavik. Plans for the USS Bozeman were changed due to the budget, which resulted in a modification to the USS Reliant model created for The Wrath of Khan and the use of the movie-era Enterprise bridge.” - Factually Exclaims wikipedia.org “even better then season 3” - rottentomatoes.com "The worldview, as so often in STAR TREK, is a mixture of humanism and strong moral content which demonstrates that no one can ever be completely consistent in their non-Christian, non-Biblical worldview. The villains are genocidal megalomaniacs" - Proselytizes movieguide.org “Nobody "does it" onscreen, but there are a few mentions.

Pre-pod Patreon-only: Devon remembers meeting Ben's cat. He still has the scar. This episode contains: Ben leads the show, Steven phones it in, and Devon holds on for dear life. Devon has to go to "mandatory" parties for work. Steven's internet is unreachable, so he phones it in this episode. Ben was on the edge of the power outage that hit 5000 people. Ben describes the indescribable fun of the card game No Thanks. Ben's kid won 9 straight games of X-Men vs Street Fighter against Steven and Ben. Jurassic Boom: No supersonic boom for dinosaur tails. The Diplodocid tail did not break supersonic speeds, despite earlier claims. Diplodocis tails were 12 m long, weighed 1.5 tons, and moved up to 33 m/s! A sonic boom occurs at 340 meters per second. Did Diplodocis have a huge-ass neck, or huge ass-neck? Devon's kids are gonna know what a sonic boom is, by golly! Devon's son wants to be a treehouse architect. Steven knows one who does that. Steven workshopped some other titles for Devon's article: "Must Go Faster Must Go Faster" and "Dun-dun-dun-duuuun dun-dun-dinosaurs (sung to the Indiana Jones' theme)". https://phys.org/news/2022-12-paleontology-supersonic-boom-dinosaur-tails.html We've got to go back, Kate: Fifty years later, remastered images reveal Apollo 17 in stunning clarity. 50 years ago, on Apollo 17 the last astronauts went to the moon (for now). Nobody's heard of hasselblad cameras. Why aren't they hasselgood? Remastered photos of Apollo 17 look incredible, but the captions are fire. In case anybody is curious, the crew of Artemis III is diverse. https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis-team/  The moon has an incredible amount of dust and dirt. Astronauts get grimy. Apollo 17 was the 1st mission with a scientist on the moon: Harrison H. Schmitt.  https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/12/fifty-years-later-remastered-images-reveal-apollo-17-in-stunning-clarity/ https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/apollo-17/in-depth/ Science Fiction: Big thanks to Joe Kohr for Steven's birthday gift of Steam cash! Hide and Seek in Among Us is super fun, and different enough from the game. Ben didn't finish the Star Trek: Prodigy episode before recording this week. R.I.P. Kirstie Alley at 71: Saavik from Wrath of Khan. Devon used to watch every sitcom that existed in the mid- to late-90s. Remember Herman's Head? Pepperidge Farm does, and so does Devon. Devon has an encyclopedic knowledge of 90s sitcoms. Why did they recast Saavik between Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock? Money. Devon rewatched the 1st season of Enterprise, and let's just say he's whelmed. Enterprise lacks the high concept scifi that even season 1 of TNG had. Devon wonders if Herman's Head is streaming somewhere... Enterprise could use more space-borne aliens. The original idea for Enterprise was for s1 to be on Earth, building the ship. Ben remembers the show Roswell, and there was a crazy Enterprise tie-in. Steven wonders if Jonathan Frakes is a little nuts. No reason, just wonders. The film Clockstoppers is a little self-explanatory, don't you think? 

BREAKING: The news has just hit the web that actress Kirstie Alley has died after a battle with cancer. This comes as a complete surprise, as the diagnosis was recent and not public. Tonight, we'll take a look at her career, from Cheers to her film debut as Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Cooper and Nolan are having a whale of a time this week when they travel back to the 80s with STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME. It's a movie that's equal parts environmental propaganda and fish out of water comedy, which might be a sign that at this point the producers were running out of ideas. But don't try telling that to Cooper's brother, who makes the podcast's first ever guest appearance to fight for the franchise he loves. Before that happens, the guys spend some time trying to answer the tough questions, like are whales really aliens? Did the Enterprise crew alter the course of history? And Saavik vs. Saavik, which Saavik would you choose? Time to report to the bridge; this episode (featuring a beer from Cameron's Brewing) is boldly going where no man has gone before!

“Well, double-dumbass on you!” The Distinguished Professors travel at warp speed into their time travel adventures with an impromptu episode right after a theater showing of Star Trek IV! Topics discussed include Clink's review of basic time travel theory, Trek time travel's creation of alternate universes, the replacement Lt. Saavik, attempts to resolve whether Liz Taylor was ever in a Star Trek episode, a brief Warhammer 40k digression, why you shouldn't think too hard about this movie, multiple levels of Bloom's taxonomy in Spock's re-education, this movie as the beginning of modern character-driven sci fi, “the even-numbered movies are the good ones” maxim, Kirk's genius, pacing differences between the 80s and the present, nobody got time for the Prime Directive, “colorful metaphors,” the Vulcan nerve pinch, cursing in Trek, the post-scarcity economy, why you don't warp in an atmosphere or build the Enterprise on Earth, thinking too much about JJ Abrams, another failure to give Nichelle Nichols enough to do, placing Catherine Hicks, Kirk's true love, a Quantum Leap digression, a Michael Berryman story, Trek movies inspired by success of Star Wars (just like Star Crash!), nerd-dom requires dedication, Trek books inspired Star Wars, and our plans for the season (and fun home game - keep track of how many movies we talk about that we don't do in the season!).

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was the third big-screen adventure for the Star Trek crew, with the restoration of Spock's eternal soul to his regenerated body leading Kirk to hijack his own starship. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss the best way to deal with a pubescent Vulcan in an isolated setting. In the immediate aftermath of the detonation of the Genesis device, Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise return to Starfleet mourning the death of Spock. Meanwhile, McCoy begins to suffer from some unusual symptoms that appear to be related to the loss of his friend. Back at Genesis, Saavik (now played by Robin Curtis) and David Marcus are studying the effects of the device with the USS Grissom. When it comes under attack from a Klingon ship under the command of Kruge (Christopher Lloyd), they become stranded on the unstable surface with Spock's resurrected form. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was directed by Leonard Nimoy, his first directorial work for the franchise. The screenplay and story were by Harve Bennett. In this episode Gerry and Iain considered whether Klingon dogs belong on the bridge of a starship.

New and old listeners alike can agree on one thing - Benny is not a smart man. He prefers fart jokes and explosions over deep and meaningful dialogue and themes. He makes detailed notes for every episode because he has the memory of a dead parakeet. He got married and had kids. All of the hallmarks of a functional idiot. So it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that he met Jay's praise of Wrath of Khan with surprise, disbelief, and derision. It's classic Trek, Benny said. It's 60's fashion and cheesy fight scenes, without a single awesome Picard monologue to be found. How could it possibly be as good as Jay built it up to be? Well, much like when Jay told Benny not to rub his eyes after wiping post-poop, he was absolutely right in all the best ways. Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan - is every bit the masterpiece people have said it is. It isn't just the best Trek movie ever made; it's one of the best films we have ever seen. The quality is in every scene, every moment…from Kirk's internal battle against the retirement-like oblivion of promotion, through characters like Chekov and Saavik experiencing equal growth and development, to the epically nuanced battle of wits between Khan and Kirk. Hell, even the horrific brain slug provided tension and nausea in equal measures. On the off chance that you haven't watched Wrath of Khan yet, listen to your nerd uncle or dork cousin. This movie isn't just an amazing sci-fi movie. It's cinema at its absolute finest.
