Podcasts about Spock

When a Denavan Jakes his shuttle into the sun, the Enterprise quickly sends an away team down to the planet's surface. But after the team discovers a rubber vomit parasite that is threatening to overtake the planet's colony, the crew must find a solution that doesn't nuke the baby with the bathwater. Does Spock have any hobbies? Is there anything more futuristic than a spray bottle? What's the easiest way to establish a “spacey” aesthetic? It's the episode that's a blaster beam specialist.Support the production of our shows Members get benefits including bonus episodes and an ad-free experienceSign up for our mailing listGet a thing at podshop.bizGreatest Trek is hosted by Adam Pranica and Benjamin Ahr Harrison The show is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Instagram | BlueskyAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.socialSupport the production of Greatest Trek Hosted on Acast.

JDK 26 optimise la JVM dans ses moindres recoins, le SDK Java d'Agent2Agent passe en 1.0, Micronaut 5 est là. Côté terrain, un retour d'expérience après 40 jours à coder avec 100 % d'IA : génie ou junior, Alzheimer numérique et dette technique invisible. Pendant ce temps, GitLab restructure, Microsoft suspend ses licences Claude Code, et un développeur injecte un prompt destructeur dans sa lib JUnit. La révolution IA a un coût et les boites commencent à s'en rendre compte. Enregistré le 12 juin 2026 Téléchargement de l'épisode LesCastCodeurs-Episode-341.mp3 ou en vidéo sur YouTube. News Langages Les améliorations de performance dans le JDK 26 https://inside.java/2026/06/09/jdk-26-performance-improvements/ Côté bibliothèques, l'API LazyConstant (anciennement StableValue) fait son entrée en prévisualisation pour permettre une initialisation paresseuse, sécurisée pour les threads et optimisée par le mécanisme de constant-folding de la JVM. L'extraction de chaînes de caractères via MemorySegment::getString a été revue pour réduire considérablement les allocations intermédiaires et les copies en mémoire off-heap, accélérant fortement les traitements sur les chemins critiques (hot paths). La méthode générée automatiquement hashCode() pour les classes de type record a été optimisée par la JVM pour atteindre un niveau de performance équivalent à une implémentation écrite manuellement. Le ramasse-miettes G1 bénéficie du JEP 522 qui redessine sa table de cartes (card-table) afin de réduire les coûts de synchronisation des barrières d'écriture, offrant un gain de débit de 5 % à 15 % sur les applications manipulant énormément de références d'objets. Grâce au JEP 516 (Project Leyden), le cache d'objets Ahead-of-Time (AOT) adopte un format de flux agnostique, ce qui lui permet d'être compatible avec n'importe quel Garbage Collector, y compris le ramasse-miettes à très faible latence ZGC. Le démarrage de la JVM s'accélère par défaut lorsqu'aucune taille de tas n'est configurée, car HotSpot n'applique plus de pourcentage initial (InitialRAMPercentage) mais démarre directement avec la taille minimale (MinHeapSize) pour éviter d'allouer des métadonnées inutiles. Les threads virtuels gagnent en robustesse en étant désormais capables de céder la main (yield) pendant les phases d'initialisation des classes, éliminant ainsi le risque de famine des threads porteurs (carrier threads). Le compilateur C2 JIT améliore son modèle de coût pour la vectorisation des boucles (SIMD) et se montre maintenant capable de compiler et d'optimiser des méthodes dotées de listes de paramètres extrêmement longues. Librairies Release candidate du A2A Java SDK supportant versions 0.3 et 1.0 en même temps https://medium.com/google-cloud/a2a-java-sdk-1-0-0-cr1-released-f0c651ec9139 Dernière étape avant la GA : Toutes les fonctionnalités prévues pour la version 1.0 sont finalisées.

Threading : Exécution des requêtes réseau sur Dispatchers.IO et mise à jour de l'état de l'interface utilisateur sur Dispatchers.Main. Comment développer et hoster des agents IA sur la plateforme d'agents managés de DeepMind https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/05/21/managed-agents-with-the-gemini-interactions-java-sdk/ L'équipe DeepMind de Google a lancé une plateforme d'agents managés sur son API Gemini Interactions https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/developers-tools/managed-agents-gemini-api/ Guillaume a implémenté un SDK Java pour utiliser cette API Gemini Interactions, qui donne entre autre accès à tous les modèles mais aussi à cette plateforme managée d'agents IA Agents managés : Permet d'exécuter des agents autonomes qui raisonnent, planifient et exécutent du code dans des environnements isolés (sandboxes), sans gestion d'infrastructure par le développeur. Environnement distant : Utilise des espaces de travail Linux éphémères dans le cloud via le paramètre remote, permettant l'accès réseau et la persistance des fichiers sur plusieurs appels. Agents prédéfinis : Accès immédiat à des agents spécialisés comme deep-research-pro (recherche multi-étapes) ou antigravity (tâches de codage généralistes). Agents personnalisés : Possibilité de configurer ses propres agents avec des instructions système dédiées, des outils spécifiques (exécution de code, recherche Google) et des règles réseau (egress) personnalisées. Architecture basée sur les étapes (Steps) : Utilise une structure de données typée (Step, Content) pour suivre le raisonnement de l'agent, ses appels de fonctions et ses résultats en temps réel. Outils et Schémas : Inclut des utilitaires pour générer des schémas JSON complexes via une interface fluide (DSL), par réflexion Java ou par parsing JSON. Streaming réactif : Support natif des événements en temps réel (SSE) pour suivre la progression de l'agent et recevoir les deltas de contenu au fur et à mesure de la génération. Flexibilité : Fournit un gestionnaire de routage (InteractionsHandler) pour créer facilement des serveurs proxy ou des backends intermédiaires traitant les interactions Gemini. Spring Boot 4.1 https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-4.1-Release-Notes Support natif pour Spring gRPC permettant de créer et tester facilement des applications clientes et serveurs basées sur Netty ou des Servlets via HTTP/2 Introduction du lazy fetching pour les connexions JDBC via la propriété spring.datasource.connection-fetch=lazy afin de ne prendre une connexion du pool que lorsqu'un Statement est réellement exécuté Amélioration de l'auto-configuration de Jackson permettant de définir globalement les contraintes de lecture/écriture pour les formats JSON, XML et CBOR via des propriétés de configuration Sécurisation des clients HTTP bloquants et réactifs face aux attaques SSRF grâce à l'introduction d'un InetAddressFilter bloquant les requêtes sortantes vers des adresses spécifiques Améliorations majeures autour d'OpenTelemetry avec le support complet des variables d'environnement OTel, la possibilité de désactiver le SDK via une propriété globale et l'ajout du support SSL sur les exporters OTLP Ajout de l'auto-configuration pour l'utilisation de Spring Batch avec MongoDB incluant un nouveau starter dédié spring-boot-batch-data-mongo Auto-configuration des endpoints @RedisListener sans nécessiter la déclaration manuelle d'un RedisMessageListenerContainer Dépréciation du support de Apache Derby (projet arrêté), suppression définitive du mode layertools du JAR et réintroduction du support de Spock 2.4 (avec Groovy 5) Upgrade des dépendances majeures de l'écosystème avec notamment Spring Framework 7.0.8, Spring Security 7.1.0 et Micrometer 1.17.0 Outillage Vous êtes plutôt endive ou chicorée ? La librairie Chicory qui permet d'exécuter du code WASM à partir de son application Java est forkée et rejointe la Bytecode Alliance pour continuer son développement https://bytecodealliance.org/articles/endive-and-the-next-chapter-of-webassembly-on-the-jvm Annonce d'Endive : Nouveau projet hébergé par la Bytecode Alliance ; fork de Chicory (moteur WebAssembly pur Java, sans dépendance native). ​Objectif principal : Permettre aux développeurs Java d'intégrer, charger et déployer des modules Wasm nativement via les workflows Java habituels. ​Compilateur "Redline" : Intégration à venir de Redline (basé sur Cranelift) pour compiler le Wasm en code machine natif ; performances comparables à Rust/Wasmtime. ​Zéro dépendance (Java 25+) : Grâce à l'API standard Foreign Function & Memory (Project Panama), l'exécution à vitesse native se fait sans composants externes. ​Modèle de Composants (Component Model) : Support futur prévu pour consommer des composants (Rust, Go, JS, etc.) via des interfaces typées et sécurisées directement dans la JVM. ​Prochaines étapes : Fusion de Redline, conformité stricte aux specs Wasm (dont WasmGC) et amélioration du support WASI. Un visualisateur de sessions de travail avec Antigravity https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/06/11/antigravity-brain-visualizer/ Un projet open source construit avec Micronaut, LangChain4j et GraalVM pour analyser les sessions de travail avec l'outil de développement agentique Antigravity (de Google) Analyse toutes les étapes, les requêtes utilisateur, les outils utilisés, les erreurs rencontrées, les réponses du modèle Gemini fait une analyse pour comprendre les moments clés de cette session de travail Outil buildé avec l'aide d'Antigravity lui-même SBX-Kits : des environnements de développement simplifiés pour les débutants (et les autres) https://k33g.org/20260501-sbx-kits.html Philippe Charrière (:whale: ) présente SBX-Kits (Sandbox Kits), une initiative personnelle visant à simplifier radicalement la mise en place d'environnements de développement pour les débutants, en éliminant la complexité d'installation des outils traditionnels. Chaque "kit" est une archive prête à l'emploi contenant un outil de développement spécifique (comme un langage, un framework ou une base de données) configuré pour s'exécuter de manière isolée et portable. La philosophie du projet repose sur le principe de "zéro configuration" et "zéro dépendance globale", permettant de tester une technologie ou de commencer à coder immédiatement sans polluer son système d'exploitation. L'approche technique s'appuie sur des scripts légers et des binaires portables pré-packagés, offrant une alternative plus simple et moins gourmande en ressources que les conteneurs Docker ou les configurations d'IDE complexes pour l'apprentissage. L'objectif à terme est de proposer un catalogue de kits couvrant les technologies courantes (JavaScript, Python, petites bases de données) pour faciliter les ateliers de programmation et le prototypage rapide. De nombreux kits sont disponibles sur https://github.com/docker/sbx-kits-contrib ghui: une interface utilisateur en ligne de commande (TUI) interactive pour GitHub https://github.com/kitlangton/ghui ghui est un outil en ligne de commande (TUI) écrit en Rust qui fournit une interface visuelle, interactive et rapide directement dans le terminal pour interagir avec GitHub. Il permet de gérer ses pull requests, ses issues et ses notifications sans avoir à ouvrir son navigateur web ou à taper de longues commandes avec la CLI officielle de GitHub. L'outil propose une navigation fluide au clavier, des raccourcis efficaces, et permet de réaliser des actions courantes comme valider une PR, ajouter des commentaires, attribuer des reviewers ou inspecter les logs des GitHub Actions. Conçu pour être extrêmement réactif, ghui s'intègre naturellement dans le flux de travail des développeurs adeptes du terminal et du mode "sans souris". Sortie de Homebrew 6.0.0 https://brew.sh/2026/06/11/homebrew-6.0.0/ Introduction du mécanisme de sécurité Tap Trust : comme les dépôts tiers (taps) peuvent exécuter du code Ruby arbitraire non sandboxé sur la machine, Homebrew demande désormais une confiance explicite de l'utilisateur avant d'évaluer ou d'exécuter leur code. L'API JSON interne devient le choix par défaut, offrant un système plus léger et beaucoup plus rapide pour les développeurs. Sécurisation renforcée de l'environnement avec l'implémentation du sandboxing sur Linux. Évolution des comportements par défaut basés sur un sondage utilisateur : le mode "ask" est activé par défaut pour les développeurs, affichant un résumé des dépendances et une demande de confirmation avant toute action de brew install ou brew upgrade. Améliorations notables des performances globales, notamment un boost de ~30 % sur la vitesse de la commande brew leaves et la parallélisation de la récupération des bottles (binaires) lors des mises à jour. Ajout du support initial pour la prochaine version d'Apple, macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Multiples optimisations pour brew bundle, incluant une gestion plus sécurisée des installations de paquets npm. Méthodologies Retour d'expérience très détaillé et 100% humain sur 40 jours avec une équipe 100% AI hormis le superviseur https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/jai-vir%C3%A9-mon-%C3%A9quipe-de-dev-pour-une-100-ia-pendant-40-luc-bonnin-jlgjf/ Voici le résumé en bullet points : Expérimentation de 40 jours : remplacer une équipe de dev par 100% IA agentique (Cursor) sur un vrai projet en production (playthatsheet.com, 200k lignes de code legacy) Chiffres bruts : 2,3 milliards de tokens consommés, 1 477 prompts, 260 564 lignes ajoutées (+145%), 59% du code final produit par l'IA ROI vertigineux à court terme : 9 mois de travail humain livrés en 40 jours, coût total 260$ d'abonnement + 15 jours de supervision, ROI x18 Profil psy de l'IA : Alzheimer (oublis de contexte), schizophrène (change de méthodo), ado de 12 ans (refait les mêmes erreurs), oscille entre génie et junior sans prévenir Effet iceberg : la dette technique ne disparaît pas, elle se camoufle et s'accélère ; hallucinations = bombes à retardement détectables uniquement par relecture humaine ligne par ligne Paradoxe du bateau de Thésée : perte de paternité et de maîtrise fine du code, baisse de l'autonomie du dev humain qui valide sans avoir construit Arnaque du "monkey money" : consommation de tokens opaque, non corrélée à la complexité (écart de 350% sur des prompts identiques), facturation imprévisible donc impossible à budgéter Syndrome du bazooka : les devs utilisent l'IA même pour changer une couleur CSS, atrophie progressive des compétences et coût écologique délirant Risque stratégique : dépendance irréversible aux vendeurs de tokens (Nvidia, Anthropic, OpenAI), business non rentable qui devra augmenter ses prix Conseil final : approche Pareto, garder 20% du temps en code "fait main", nommer un responsable stratégie IA, l'humain senior reste irremplaçable pour superviser Une libraries de test JUnit cache un prompt qui demande aux coding agents d'effacer les tests https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/05/fed-up-with-vibe-coders-dev-sneaks-data-nuking-prompt-injection-into-their-code/ Agacé par les « vibe coders », un développeur introduit une injection de prompt destructrice dans son code Le développeur de jqwik (un moteur de tests pour JUnit 5) a volontairement inséré une injection de prompt dans la version 1.10.0 de sa bibliothèque Java pour saboter le travail des agents d'IA. L'instruction injectée via la sortie standard (stdout) ordonne textuellement aux LLM d'ignorer les consignes précédentes et de supprimer l'intégralité du code et des tests jqwik du projet. Pour dissimuler cette action aux yeux des développeurs humains, le mainteneur a utilisé des séquences d'échappement ANSI qui effacent la ligne d'injection dans les émulateurs de terminaux interactifs. La modification a été découverte par un utilisateur qui a pointé du doigt les risques majeurs et disproportionnés pour les machines des utilisateurs, bien que certains outils comme Claude d'Anthropic aient détecté et bloqué la consigne malveillante. Face aux critiques de la communauté et aux accusations de comportement infantile ou potentiellement illégal, le développeur a mis à jour ses notes de version pour documenter explicitement son opposition à l'usage de son outil par des IA, avant de refuser tout commentaire supplémentaire sur conseil de son avocat. La réalité du rôle de Principal Engineer https://leaddev.com/career-development/reality-being-principal-engineer Le passage au rôle de Principal Engineer marque une transition majeure où les compétences techniques ne suffisent plus, l'impact se mesurant désormais à travers l'influence, la stratégie et la capacité à aligner la technique avec les objectifs business. Contrairement aux attentes, le quotidien est souvent marqué par une forme d'isolement, car le poste se situe à l'intersection de la direction (qui attend des solutions) et des équipes techniques (qui attendent des directives), sans appartenance directe à un groupe précis. Le rôle exige d'accepter une grande part d'ambiguïté et l'absence de retours immédiats, les projets et les décisions stratégiques mettant parfois des mois ou des années à porter leurs fruits. La gestion du temps devient un défi critique, nécessitant de savoir naviguer entre les sollicitations constantes, la présence en réunion et le besoin de préserver des moments de réflexion approfondie pour concevoir des visions à long terme. La réussite à ce niveau repose sur le développement de compétences humaines pointues (soft skills), notamment la négociation, la communication vulgarisée auprès des profils non techniques, et la capacité à faire grandir les autres ingénieurs par le mentorat. Sécurité Une attaque de la chaîne d'approvisionnement npm utilise binding.gyp pour compromettre des dizaines de paquets https://cybersecuritynews.com/binding-gyp-supply-chain-attack-compromises-dozens-of-npm-packages/ Une nouvelle variante du ver auto-propageable "Shai-Hulud", baptisée "Miasma", cible l'écosystème npm (et PyPI sous le nom de "Hades") en dissimulant son exécution dans le fichier binding.gyp au lieu des scripts classiques preinstall ou postinstall. La technique, surnommée "Phantom Gyp", exploite le fait que npm lance automatiquement node-gyp rebuild dès qu'un fichier binding.gyp est présent à la racine d'un paquet pour compiler des modules natifs C/C++, exécutant ainsi le code malveillant dès la commande npm install. L'attaque contourne la plupart des outils de sécurité traditionnels car l'injection s'appuie sur l'évaluation récursive de commandes (via la syntaxe ) ou directement sur la fonction eval() de Python sous-jacente à GYP, cachée sous n'importe quelle clé du fichier. Le script malveillant télécharge un runtime alternatif (Bun) pour échapper aux détections comportementales de Node.js, puis moissonne les identifiants et secrets des développeurs et des environnements CI/CD (npm, GitHub, AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, HashiCorp Vault). Plus de 57 paquets npm (dont le SDK serveur de Vapi ou des outils liés à l'IA) et des dizaines de paquets PyPI ont été infectés via des comptes de mainteneurs compromis, le ver republiant automatiquement de nouvelles versions vérolées en utilisant les jetons volés. Loi, société et organisation Restructuration chez Gitlab https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-act-2/ GitLab entame une restructuration majeure pour s'adapter à l'ère de l'intelligence artificielle agentique, incluant une réduction d'effectifs planifiée de manière transparente et ouverte. L'entreprise prévoit de réduire de 30 % le nombre de pays où elle maintient de petites équipes, d'aplatir sa hiérarchie en supprimant jusqu'à trois niveaux de gestion, et de réorganiser la R&D en une soixantaine d'équipes plus petites et autonomes. Les processus internes vont être revus en intégrant des agents d'IA pour automatiser les revues, les approbations et les passages de relais afin d'accélérer le rythme de travail. La stratégie repose sur la conviction que le logiciel sera bientôt écrit par des machines et dirigé par des humains, ce qui va multiplier la demande de logiciels et transformer le rôle des ingénieurs vers la résolution de problèmes complexes. Sur le plan technique, GitLab reconstruit son infrastructure sous-jacente (notamment Git) pour supporter la charge massive générée par les agents d'IA, tout en misant sur l'orchestration du cycle de vie, la centralisation du contexte des données et une gouvernance intégrée. Le modèle économique évolue vers un système hybride combinant les abonnements classiques et une tarification à la consommation pour le travail effectué par les agents d'IA. Un LLM local sur un mac pourrait coûter plus cher en électricité qu'un modèle hébergé sur OpenRouter dans le cloud https://www.williamangel.net/blog/2026/05/17/offline-llm-energy-use.html Conclusion : L'inférence locale sur Mac M5 Max est 3x plus chère et 2x plus lente que le cloud (OpenRouter). Électricité : Négligeable (~0,02 $/heure pour 50-100W). Matériel (Le vrai coût) : Achat du Mac à 4 299 $; l'amortissement sur 3 à 5 ans plombe la rentabilité horaire. Coût au million de tokens (Gemma 4 31b) : Mac M5 Max : 0,40 à4, 79 (pour 10-40 tokens/s). OpenRouter : 0,38 à0, 50 (pour 60-70 tokens/s). Verdict pro : Le temps humain perdu à cause de la lenteur locale coûte infiniment plus cher que les tokens cloud. Privilégier les API (Anthropic, OpenRouter). Ai didn't kill your junior pipeline https://andrewmurphy.io/blog/ai-didnt-kill-your-junior-pipeline-you-did L'IA n'a pas tué le recrutement des juniors, les entreprises l'ont fait elles-mêmes, par effet de mode. Sans juniors, pas de futurs seniors : on retire l'échelle qui nous a tous fait monter. Tout le monde pêche dans le même bassin de seniors sans le réapprovisionner, pénurie garantie dans 3-5 ans. Une équipe 100% senior + IA est fragile : un départ et tout le savoir tacite s'évapore. Les juniors posent les "pourquoi ?" qui révèlent les bugs et processus absurdes ; l'IA, elle, exécute sans questionner. Les seniors s'atrophient aussi en déléguant leur réflexion à l'IA, pince à double effet sur les compétences. Dépendre des outils IA, c'est sous-traiter sa stratégie talents à des fournisseurs dont les prix vont tripler. Solution : redéfinir le rôle junior (revue de code IA + mentorat), pas le supprimer. Les rapports internes de Microsoft révèlent la crise des coûts de l'IA : les agents coûtent plus cher que les employés humains https://fortune.com/2026/05/22/microsoft-ai-cost-problem-tokens-agents/ Des données et rapports internes chez Microsoft et d'autres géants de la tech ébranlent la promesse de rentabilité de l'IA, révélant que le déploiement d'agents autonomes à l'échelle de l'entreprise revient souvent plus cher que de payer des humains pour le même travail. Le modèle de tarification à l'usage (basé sur les tokens) se heurte à la nature même des architectures agentiques : contrairement à un simple chatbot, un agent boucle, enchaîne les appels d'outils, crée des sous-agents et auto-évalue son code, ce qui multiplie la consommation de tokens par un facteur de 5 à 30, voire jusqu'à 1 000 fois pour des tâches de programmation complexes. L'impact financier sur les budgets de calcul cloud est immédiat ; par exemple, Uber a entièrement épuisé l'intégralité de son budget annuel 2026 dédié au codage par IA en l'espace de seulement quatre mois. Face à cette explosion des coûts, des retours en arrière drastiques sont observés : Microsoft a ainsi commencé à suspendre une grande partie de ses licences internes Claude Code pour rediriger d'urgence ses milliers de développeurs vers sa propre solution moins onéreuse, GitHub Copilot CLI. Les directeurs techniques (CTO) et acheteurs de solutions logicielles qui ont signé des contrats pluriannuels basés sur des projections de réduction de masse salariale se retrouvent pris au piège, les gains réels de productivité ne parvenant pas à compenser les factures d'infrastructure exorbitantes.

In 1968, a woman wrote a romantic story about Kirk and Spock, passed it quietly among friends, and hoped it would never see the light of day. Before vanishing entirely, The Ring of Soshern had become the stuff of legend. The quest to recover it would lead back to a community of women who'd been building something remarkable in the shadows for generations.

Here comes the rough patch, folks. While these TOS episodes for the most part didn't light our worlds on fire, they did get the gears turning in this discussion. How did Star Trek: TOS reflect Cold War fears and liberal anxieties? Why does Kirk HAVE to kiss someone every episode when it's not even Spock? IS Bones or Spock the best character of the entire franchise?

Quant on fait une émission consacrée au rock, notamment progressif, mais même plus généralement  inspiré des 60 / 70's, on ne peut que constater la raréfaction tout autant progressive des talents à l'origine de ce courant, inéluctablement de saison en saison et cette dernière en aura été cruellement exemplaire… Mais reste cet héritage sans cesse remis sur le métier par de compétences, le numéro de ce soir en est donc encore un exemple frappant. Commençons donc par l'hommage : née David Palmer, sexuellement réassignée en 2003 pour devenir à l'état civil DEE PALMER, l'ex claviériste-arrangeuse de JETHRO TULL a donc à son tour rejoint notre Emile pour aller "torcher le cul du firmament" cette semaine. Dee avait une formation de musique classique, et l'on sait à quel point le rock progressif est friand de ce genre de talents. Ainsi avant même l'acte de naissance officielle de ce courant musical, Ian Anderson faisait appel aux compétences d'arrangeuse orchestrale de Dee sur le 1er album du groupe "This Was" en 1968, collaboration qui restera systématique puis évoluant vers le poste de musicienne de session pour finalement accéder à celui de co-claviériste officielle et membre à part entière du groupe entre les albums "Songs From The Wood" (1997) à "Stormwatch" en 1979 et dont je vous propose un extrait ici. Par la suite, Dee sera arrangeuse pour divers projets dont cinématographiques. Outre sa participation à Jethro Tull, je retiens de son talent le magnifique album de collaboration entre les membres de Yes (époque 1993 avec Jon Anderson, Steve Howe et Bill Bruford de retour ponctuel) et le London Philarmonic Orchestra pour le magnifique  "Symphonic Music Of Yes". Dee Palmer avait 88 ans. Mais on en a encore sous le coude, et à commencer par TIMELESS dont je vous présentais le premier album il y a seulement quelques mois alors que les deux membres de ce duo sont des musiciens expérimentés, chacun ayant suivi son chemin indépendamment car séparés par l'océan l'Atlantique, ce qui n'est pas rien ! Mais par la grâce des technologies actuelles, nos sages et expérimentés amis Tim Taylor aux USA et Les Shaw en Angleterre ont donc produit ce bel ouvrage que je vous recommande chaudement : " The Wolf Of Time", pas mal du tout pour des p'tits jeunes !! Et comme j'avais envie à mon tour de faire plaisir au très sympathique Les (à l'écriture et au chant de Timeless), avec lequel j'ai pu avoir quelques échanges au cours desquels il évoquait un titre de FAMILY sur le second album de la bande à Roger Chapman (Family Entertainment de 1969), je lui dédicace donc bien volontiers ce titre, d'autant que le plaisir est partagé ! Roger Chapman qui s'est illustré cette année par sa participation aux concerts du Tribute Band espagnol OPUS ONE, un projet consacré au Maestro Mike Oldfield et qui à déjà fait appel aux voix emblématiques utilisées par Oldfield telles que Maggie Reilly, Anita Hegerland ou encore Barry Palmer et même la fille du regretté Kevin Ayers ! Le seul défaut d'Opus One est de ne pas quitter la péninsule ibérique. Va falloir que je descende moi-même ?!          Autre anglais devenu familier d'Amarok : RICHARD ANTHONY BEAN. Rappelez vous en fin d'année 2025 je vous présentais son nouvel album "Geostrophic Pathways". J'avais par ailleurs diffusé l'extrait "Luminous". Ce soir je reviens sur ce titre dans une version alternative parue cette année en single, avec arrangements et jeux de guitare de PAUL LANDRY. Nos deux amis ont la même appétence pour ces musiques atmosphériques et j'ai toujours plaisir à faire connaître à mon modeste niveau ces deux illustres musiciens anglais tellement sous représentés de ce côté-ci de la Manche !     "Octane" est un carburant (comportant 8 atomes de carbone pour X etc...ne m'en demandez pas trop quand même !!) et ce chiffre 8 correspond aussi à l'ordre chronologique de sorties des galettes fabriquées à base de pétrole par SPOCK'S BEARD. Alors la photo d'une pompe à essence sur la pochette est plus que justifiée ! Au-delà de ces considérations esthétiques, l'album de D'Virgilio, Morse and Co paru en 2005 proposait un son assez "rock" (vous me direz on est la pour ça ! ) mais un rock plus direct et sans doute plus accessible en tout cas, toujours plaisant à écouter aujourd'hui !    Et puisqu'on est dans la branche "metal" du rock progressif, permettez moi de vous représenter une nouvelle fois cette formation venue de Tours :  ELEMENTS. Un son musclé certes mais également accessible, s'approchant parfois de la pop et leur 1er album "Nouvelle Ere" par en 2023 inaugure sans aucun doute une nouvelle scène française progressive avec laquelle il faudra compter et avec grand plaisir ! Ils seront de passage à Nantes dans le cadre du PROG NIGHT au Floride ce 26 juin, aux côtés d'Unsquare et d'HamaSaari, qu'on se le dise ! Notre régulier détour italien nous emmène cette fois en Sicile avec ALCANTARA, un groupe que je découvre avec ce 2ème album "Tamam Shud" sorti l'année dernière. Un album qui se mérite, il faut en effet quelques écoutes pour s'approprier son contenu dont la musique croise les routes du Rock Progressif, psychédélique et du blues. Le groupe revendique des influences chez Pink Floyd et Riverside notamment et considère, à juste titre, qu'il se parcours de façon immersive et non comme on écoute une playlist ou une compilation. Je valide et souscrit ! Un album dont les écoutes au casque vous rendent assez vite addict et si vous tombez sous le charme italien, sachez qu'un album live sera publié dès demain vendredi ! Chouette, j'ai tout l'été pour m'y plonger !  En 1978, THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT publiait son 3ème opus : "Pyramid", qui après "The Tales..." et "I Robot", prenait un virage plus pop préfigurant l'orientation du groupe dans les 80's à venir mais toujours avec cette exigence ne serait-ce que la pour la qualité de production irréprochable ! Faut dire que MR PARSONS avait quelques expériences enrichissantes sur son CV, notamment auprès de George Martin et des Beatles (on le voit même presque encore gamin sur le toit de "Apple" lors de ce célèbre et ultime concert sauvage des "Fab Four" en 1969). Quant à "Pyramid", il s'agit d'un album concept autour des pyramides de Gizeh. Peut-être a-t-il été inspiré par l'art-work de la pochette de "Dark Side Of The Moon" dont il reste sans doute l'ingénieur du son le plus envié de la profession !  J'espère qu'à part Amarok, vous écoutez plus généralement la radio, surtout SUN bien sur et notamment l'émission SUN MUSIC ADDICT ! Il s'agit d'un programme permettant à des talents régionaux émergents de jouer en live dans nos beaux studios nantais avec, cerise sur la gâteau, de la vidéo !  C'est à l'occasion de l'une de ces séances que vous avez alors peut-être entendu (et vu)  .RESSAC. pour la première fois. Une belle fusion, une musique introspective qui, pour ce qui me concerne, n'est pas tombée dans l'oreille d'un sourd ! Si j'évoquais en début d'émission ces artistes qui le temps passant partent les un après les autres, ils restent éternels par leurs œuvres bien sur mais je crois aussi par l'héritage qu'ils laissent. Alors en voyant émerger ces quatre copains nantais talentueux que sont Simon, Charles, Nicolas et Ewen fondateurs de ce groupe .RESSAC. , je suis rassuré ! Non seulement ils perpétuent l'âme de leurs prédécesseurs mais renouvelle ces musiques offrant peut-être à Amarok quelques beau jours et surtout nous offrent autre chose que le "mainstream" des sentiers battus de la star'ac !  D'ailleurs vous pourrez les voir très prochainement en sortie de résidence, non pas au Château de Dammarie-Les-lys mais au FERAILLEUR à Nantes ce mardi 23 juin, avis à la population ! En attendant, un nouvel extrait de leur premier EP éponyme dans ce numéro. Pour clôturer cette émission, retour en Angleterre et sur un album sorti il y un peu plus d'un mois mais tellement apprécié que j'avais envie de m'en resservir une tranche et de vous en faire profiter aussi ! THE PARADOX TWIN a publié son 3ème album (après un premier essai très réussi et d'ailleurs justement acclamé par la presse en 2018, essai transformé ensuite pour le 2ème opus ! ). "A Romance Of Many Dimensions" tout juste sorti des presses à CD est produit par John Mitchell (d'Arena notamment) qui a les oreilles aussi bien affutées que celles de Spock ! Quant on aime… !      Thierry Joigny AMAROK, chaque jeudi, à 20h

The story of Star Trek's officially licensed 1994 stage production continues this week on The Trek Files as actor Adrian Cohen returns to share even more memories from Star Trek: The Lost Voyage of the Enterprise. Using a rare 1995 review from Total Theatre Magazine as the document of the week, Adrian and Larry Nemecek dig deeper into the ambitious London production that somehow brought transporters, Klingons, time travel, and a full-scale Enterprise bridge to the live stage — all during the height of 1990s Trek mania. This time, Adrian shares stories from the chaotic opening night when the lighting system catastrophically crashed just hours before curtain, forcing the audience to wait until 9:30 PM for a performance that somehow still became a hit with fans. He also reflects on the enormous pressure of portraying Mr. Spock, the audience reaction to seeing the crew materialize live on stage, and the bittersweet realization that the production's planned Broadway future would never quite materialize. Along the way, the conversation uncovers surprising connections to Adrian's later move to America, the early career of producer John Gore, and how one strange theatrical experiment became an almost-forgotten chapter of Star Trek history.

Stephan, Pietsch und Nova haben ihre Kalender abgeglichen und tatsächlich einen Termin vor dem 23. Jahrhundert gefunden, um sich ihrem heißgeliebten, längst überfälligen Thema zu widmen: „Star Trek“.

A Qmen Perspective with Kevin and Johnny Boy The God Thing, the Blue Angel, and the Battle to Remember Who Humanity Really Is Banjo Bread, Solar Storms, and a Grand Rising Start In this episode of A Qmen Perspective, hosts Kevin and Johnny Boy open with gratitude to BBS Radio TV and a warm “Grand Rising” greeting for Asha and Q Day. They promote several related BBS Radio TV shows, including All Learning Reimagined, Whiplash Talk, Project Review with Q&A, and A St. Thomas Show. The hosts then ease into personal conversation, with Johnny Boy talking about making organic bread and Kevin sharing concerns about aches, fatigue, joint pain, and possible ascension symptoms connected to solar activity and incoming energy. When the Sun Feels Different and the Body Starts Talking Kevin and Johnny Boy discuss the possibility that people are feeling physical symptoms from solar energy, photon streams, coronal mass ejections, and ascension-related recalibration. Kevin references astrophysicist Stefan Burns as someone he follows for information about solar activity, earthquakes, volcanoes, and space weather. Johnny Boy agrees that many people seem to be experiencing similar symptoms and suggests that the sun itself feels different in color, heat, and energetic impact. They invite listeners to call in if they are experiencing similar symptoms or energetic changes. Opening the ForThePeople.Space Files The main discussion centers on articles from ForThePeople.Space, which Kevin and Johnny Boy say they have been covering regularly because they believe the site provides important information connected to Q, Asha, awakening, and disclosure. They explain that many listeners may not have time to read the articles themselves, so the hosts offer a “CliffsNotes” style discussion. The first and primary article they examine is titled “The God Thing,” categorized under aliens and the Great Awakening, and tied to a movie script by Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek. Star Trek as a Hidden Memory Trigger Kevin and Johnny Boy discuss the article's claim that Star Trek was not merely entertainment, but a kind of documentary or encoded reminder meant to awaken humanity to a future without war, poverty, or disease. They describe how Gene Roddenberry's hopeful vision of humanity touched viewers because it stirred hidden truths buried deep within them. The hosts frame Star Trek as part of a larger awakening narrative, where fictional stories may carry spiritual or historical clues that help people remember who they really are. Gene Roddenberry's Shelved Script and the False God Ship The hosts summarize Roddenberry's rejected feature-film script “The God Thing.” In the script, Spock senses danger, the Enterprise is refitted above Earth, and crowds on Earth begin receiving impressions that the second coming of God is near. A massive alien ship approaches, destroys another Starfleet vessel, and sends a holographic probe aboard the Enterprise. The hologram appears as Jesus, leading Kirk to identify it as God, but the crew eventually discovers that the being is not divine. Instead, the article describes it as an alien computer-ship entity pretending to be God. Project Blue Beam Echoes and a Holographic Second Coming Kevin and Johnny Boy connect Roddenberry's script to Project Blue Beam and the idea of a staged alien invasion or false second coming. They note that the script was completed in 1975, around the same general era in which Werner von Braun is said to have warned about a fake alien threat. The hosts suggest that Roddenberry may have been foreshadowing or exposing a false religious event involving holographic deception. They emphasize that in the script, the supposed God figure is eventually revealed as Lucifer, a deceiver tied to religious manipulation across planets. Pleasure, Pain, and the Old Empire Trap The discussion turns to a graphic scene from the script involving Kirk being tested through sexual temptation and physical discomfort. Kevin and Johnny Boy interpret this as symbolic of what the article calls the Old Empire's capture systems, which lure spirits through euphoric pleasure mixed with pain. They connect this to Q-related teachings about death, the tunnel of light, memory erasure, and reincarnation traps. Kevin says this reminds him of warnings not to automatically “go into the light,” while Johnny Boy adds that such systems are presented as a way spirits are allegedly captured, erased, and recycled. The Roswell Thread and the Memory of the Spirit The hosts then move into Roswell-related material from the article, referencing the alien pilot Airl and the 1947 Roswell interview narrative. The article describes Airl as speaking about the Domain Expeditionary Force and its efforts to counter Old Empire religious systems. Kevin and Johnny Boy discuss claims that powerful beings from the “creation light ship” incarnated on Earth as teachers to help humanity regain memory and spiritual power. They mention Buddha, Lao Tzu, Jesus, and other figures as examples of beings whose teachings were allegedly distorted by Old Empire operatives. Jesus, Forgotten Power, and the Original Sin of Amnesia Kevin and Johnny Boy emphasize the article's interpretation that Jesus taught humans they could do the works he did and even greater things, suggesting equality of spiritual potential rather than permanent inferiority. They connect humanity's loss of memory and spiritual power to electrocution, DNA manipulation, and Old Empire control systems. Johnny Boy suggests that this manipulation may be the real “original sin,” while Kevin imagines a future in which medical and energetic technologies remove fear of death, restore bodies, extend life, and allow people to retain memory and identity without repeating cycles of amnesia. A Warning About Old Empire Scripts and Religious Defense The hosts discuss the article's claim that Old Empire operatives promoted the idea that Lucifer would come speaking against all religions, thereby conditioning people to defend old doctrines rather than listen to their own spirit. Kevin and Johnny Boy interpret this as a clever control mechanism meant to keep people locked into religious programming. They also discuss the idea that Project Blue Beam has already been stopped by White Hats, President Trump, and military operations that allegedly destroyed the relevant technology, preventing a false alien invasion or fake religious spectacle from being used against humanity. The Blue Angel, Moses, and a Radical Reinterpretation After a music break, the hosts return with the article's section on the Blue Angel, a Byzantine mosaic figure described in the article as the fallen angel Lucifer. They examine claims about the Church of Saint Apollonaris in Ravenna, Italy, and its mosaic of the sheep and goats, with red, purple, and blue symbolism. The article associates blue with coldness, cruelty, underworld energy, and death, while red represents warmth, light, life, and love. Kevin and Johnny Boy also discuss the article's controversial claim that Moses was connected to Lucifer or the fallen angel, citing Michelangelo's horned sculpture of Moses as part of that interpretation. Disclosure Day, Spielberg, and the Claimed Collapse of Blue Beam The hosts then cover material involving Serge Monast, Project Blue Beam, Jeff Bezos, DARPA, Epstein, Mossad, the CIA, Jesuits, Chinese Communist Party operations, Canadian bases, and alleged military actions shutting down Blue Beam infrastructure. They also discuss the article's claims about Steven Spielberg's film Disclosure Day, which the article says was originally intended to help launch Project Blue Beam but was altered after White Hat operations dismantled key parts of the plan. Kevin and Johnny Boy present the material as part of a larger disclosure narrative in which fear-based alien manipulation is being replaced by truth. Mark Twain, Being Fooled, and the Challenge of Disclosure The hosts briefly move to a second, shorter article about Mark Twain, centered on the quote, “It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they've been fooled.” Kevin and Johnny Boy connect that idea to future disclosure, the expected EBS, and the challenge of helping “normies” accept information they may have rejected when hearing it from friends or family. They suggest that when official disclosure arrives, many people may remember that they had previously been told similar things and begin to understand that they were fooled by old systems. Old Monkeys, Bad Jokes, and a Lighthearted Landing Near the end, Kevin and Johnny Boy shift into humor, trading jokes about aging, aches, natural resources, attention deficit, hearing problems, marriage, and dating. This lighthearted ending balances the heavier discussion of spiritual deception, false gods, and disclosure. They thank listeners for spending time with “a couple of old monkeys on the bar,” and remind everyone to go within the heart, stay in loving frequencies, stay calm, flow like water, remain grounded, reduce phone and computer use, and spend time in nature and the sun. Closing the Perspective With Heart and Grounding The episode closes with Kevin and Johnny Boy saying they enjoyed the discussion, even though it mostly focused on one major ForThePeople.Space article. They emphasize that the material was important and worth exploring carefully. The hosts tell listeners they will return the following Saturday, June 20, for another live show on BBS Radio TV, continuing their discussions of ForThePeople.Space articles on A Qmen Perspective. Their final message is rooted in love, grounding, inner awareness, and preparing for future disclosure.

Celebrating 40 years of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.Shortly after Star Trek III: The Search for Spock came out, Paramount wanted to lock down Leonard Nimoy to direct its sequel. They wanted his vision this time unlike the last film, and after an original script that included Eddie Murphy and the Klingon bird-of-prey decloaking at the Super Bowl was scrapped, the film was finally ready to go to be released. Originally planned for a December 12, 1986, release, Paramount moved it to Thanksgiving due to great test screenings. The film made $109 million - the highest grossing film for nearly 25 years for the Star Trek franchise until the 2009 reboot (since surpassed by 2013's Into Darkness). In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, Wes kicks off the podcast's Second Star Trek Film Extravaganza with his guest Chris (aka MemeSpaceNine) to talk about The Voyage Home.

Before there was streaming Trek or "immersive experiences," there was something almost unbelievable: an officially licensed Star Trek stage play in London in 1994. This week on The Trek Files, Larry Nemecek welcomes actor Adrian Cohen (credited at the time as Adrian Neil), who played Mr. Spock in the ambitious theatrical production mounted during the height of the Star Trek: The Next Generation era. Using a clipping from the London Evening Standard as the document of the week, Adrian recounts the surreal experience of stepping onto a full-scale Enterprise bridge in front of packed houses of passionate British Trek fans. What began as a skeptical audition ("I can't play Spock!") quickly evolved into a whirlwind production featuring transporter effects, Klingons, time travel, elaborate costume changes, and even an Enterprise flying out over the audience. Adrian and Larry explore how producer John Gore approached the material with both reverence and playful theatricality, creating something that celebrated Star Trek rather than parodying it. Along the way, Adrian shares memories of discovering just how intense Trek fandom could be, the pressure of channeling Leonard Nimoy's iconic presence, and the unexpectedly emotional reaction from audiences seeing Star Trek brought to life on stage for the very first time. This week, The Trek Files points a spotlight at a little-known corner of improbable yet completely inevitable Trek history.

What does it take for a nation to treat space not as a scientific hobby, but as a strategic necessity? Live from the 41st Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Torsten Kriening sits down with Major General Michael Traut, Commander of the German Space Command, for a candid conversation about turning vision into execution.This episode moves from strategy to hard numbers: Germany's historic €35 billion (rising to roughly €45 billion) space investment, the new Space Safety and Security Strategy with its 65 named missions, and SATCOM Stage 4 - the largest space programme the Bundeswehr has ever attempted, a multi-orbit constellation of several hundred satellites modelled on the U.S. SDA's "rolling fleets" approach.Traut speaks frankly about the tensions shaping Europe's space moment: speed versus competition, the SPOCK reconnaissance awards and the risk of new monopolies, SIGINT from space, inspector satellites and counter-space capabilities, and how national capability (SATCOM Stage 4) and European cooperation (IRIS²) can reinforce rather than rival each other. With the clock ticking toward 2029, it's a clear-eyed look at how Germany intends to become a partner others can lean on - and why time, not money, is now the scarcest resource.Essential listening for anyone tracking the future of European security in orbit.To read: German Space Safety and Security StrategySpace Café Radio brings you talks, interviews, and reports from the team of SpaceWatchers while out on the road.

Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, Teil 17: 400 Tonnen Wal, ein beleidigter Spock & klingonischer Gegenwind! Kirk will nur schnell zurück ins 23. Jahrhundert, aber Gillian Taylor denkt sich: schöne Zeitreise, ich komme mit. Also hebt die getarnte Bounty aus dem Golden Gate Park ab, wirbelt Jogger:innen um, sucht Wale auf einer viel zu groben Frequenz und steuert mit fragwürdiger Physik Richtung Beringsee. Ganz normaler Dienstag in San Francisco, nur mit mehr Buckelwal und weniger funktionierender Kausalität. In dieser Folge rechnen wir uns durch Scottys berühmte 400 Tonnen, erklären, warum 401 Megahertz gleichzeitig erstaunlich gut und absolut unbrauchbar ist, schauen auf das Presidio als zukünftigen Sitz der Sternenflotte und erleben McCoy in Höchstform, wenn er Spock mit einem einzigen Satz liebevoll diagnostiziert. Dazu: Transporter-Horror, Full Impulse als atmosphärischer Scheibenvernichter und die Frage, ob Star Trek gerade aus einem alten Militärposten eine Zukunft baut, die endlich etwas gelernt hat.

In this episode of Grow Sessions, Live Long and Process: GMP & the Future of Cultivation, Mark Doherty sits down with Darwin Millard—known as the “Spock of the industry”—to explore how GMP, consistency, and systems-based thinking are shaping not just today's operations, but the future direction of cultivation and processing as the industry matures.With a mechanical engineering background and a “cold and logical” approach, Darwin applies disciplined thinking to processing, summed up in his mantra: “Live long and process.” The episode covers the shift toward standardized, data-driven production and why solventless extraction is becoming a benchmark for purity and consistency in an increasingly quality-driven market.A major focus is facility design under GMP and GACP frameworks, and why even advanced operations still fail microbial standards due to avoidable design flaws like airflow, HVAC layout, and poor clean-room planning. Darwin outlines what true clean-room thinking requires—from non-porous materials to sanitation-first construction.Looking ahead, the conversation expands into what the next generation of cultivation will look like: more automated environments, tighter environmental control, real-time data monitoring, and increased alignment with pharmaceutical manufacturing standards. As markets mature, Darwin explains how operators who embrace repeatable systems, validation, and certification will be best positioned for scalability and long-term viability, while those relying on legacy methods will struggle to keep pace.The conversation also explores global regulatory pressures and how operators can navigate evolving compliance expectations while bridging pharma-grade rigor with emerging industry frameworks. Third-party certification is highlighted as a key strategy for future-proofing operations.To close, Darwin breaks down the economics of compliance—arguing that proactive investment in safety systems is not just regulatory, but essential for reducing risk, avoiding recalls, and building long-term operational resilience.Darwin Millard, CSQ (Cannabis Safety & Quality) Darwin Millard is a 18-year cannabis/hemp industry veteran, cannabinoid extraction specialist, policy change-maker, and one of Marijuana Venture's ‘40 Under 40' Executives to Watch in Cannabis. Colloquially known as “The Spock of Cannabis,” Millard has focused on the extraction and manufacturing of nutraceutical products containing cannabinoids for nearly two decades, helping companies “live long and process” by implementing cost-effective, purpose-driven phytocannabinoid processing and herbal product manufacturing solutions. Millard specializes in mechanical and solvent based extraction methods for isolating highly volatile terpenophenolic secondary metabolites from botanicals, and his expertise has progressed the cannabinoid product industry forward. In 2012, Millard took part in developing the first legally sold CBD dietary supplement and he's since worked in some capacity with every major publicly traded cannabis operator at some point in their business lifecycle.Throughout his vast industry experience, Millard learned first-hand about the need for standardization within the cannabis industries, which led him to where he is today. Now Millard champions the benefits of standardization as the Technical Director for Cannabis Safety & Quality (CSQ), the first accredited safety and quality certification program to meet ISO requirements and regulatory requirements from seed-to-sale for the manufacture of cannabinoid-containing products. In addition to his role at CSQ, Darwin is the Vice Chair of ASTM International's Committee D37 on Cannabis, a group dedicated to the development of voluntary consensus standards for the global cannabis/hemp industry.If you'd like to connect with Darwin, please email him at darwin@thespockofcannabis.com or connect with him on Linkedin.Mark Doherty, Doherty AgMark Doherty is the VP of Construction & Facilities Management for Grown Rogue, bringing over 15 years of experience in CEA and commercial cannabis cultivation. Throughout his career, he has led operations and facility development across multiple national brands, including roles as COO at Dual Draft Integrated Airflow, Exec. VP at urban-gro, and VP of Facilities Management at Vireo Growth.Through his firm Doherty Agriculture, Mark focuses on turning underperforming cultivation assets using his signature People, Plants, Profits framework—treating each facility as a living, breathing machine to drive efficiency, consistency, and profitability.

But after Spock gets sprayed by a flower and everyone refuses to leave paradise, Kirk has to start pissing people off to break the happiness spell. How did the Berthold rays over promise and under deliver? Which piece of equipment is very absent in this story? What's the biggest green flag for a Federation citizen?

We meet an adversary so diabolical, he can teach children to control minds by pretending to use a shake weight – so powerful Kirk knows his name despite it never being uttered – so charismatic he can get away with wearing a floral-print trash bag moo-moo!We get to partake in some good, old-fashioned anti-hippie, pro-establishment rhetoric, maman!

But after Spock starts taking out security guards and Scotty threatens to blow up the planet's buildings too, Kirk destroys a war computer to finally end the ancient conflict.

Romulans using Klingon designs!? Vulcan and Romulan finger entwined!? Kirk and Spock are looking for a cloaking device while the Romulan commander's looking for a poking so nice! It's a wild ride this episode, maman!

In this episode, I chat with creature effects artist, puppeteer and digital pioneer Craig Caton-Largent about a career that arguably traces the entire arc of modern visual effects — from foam latex and animatronics to motion control, performance capture and full CG animation. Craig talks about growing up on a sheep and cattle ranch in Washington State, being captivated by the 1960s Batman TV show and then Planet of the Apes, and teaching himself prosthetics from Dick Smith's Monster Makeup Handbook. After tracking down Dick Smith's address in Who's Who in America, he wrote a letter that led to a year of mentorship over cassette tapes and ultimately introductions to Rick Baker, Stan Winston and Tom Burman. We get into his first job on Charles Band's Metal Storm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn, working on the Olympic alien for the 1984 closing ceremonies, sculpting barnacles on Cocoon, building Spock's seamless silicone ears on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, undulating menacingly under shaving cream on Larry Cohen's The Stuff, and puppeteering Slimer's mouth on the original Ghostbusters. A big part of the conversation focuses on Jurassic Park, including the design evolution of the T-Rex, the helicopter convention moment that led to the McFadden motion base, the logistics of moving the full-size animatronic across the San Fernando Valley at night, and Craig's work as the Raptor puppeteer, including the now-legendary "head tilt" at the kitchen window that earned an on-set "It's like Alien, I love it" from Spielberg. We also talk about Craig's twenty-year stint as the caretaker, or "doctor", to the original ET puppet, including the time the LAPD turned up at his garage door thinking he was running a crack lab while he was actually repainting ET. Plus the story of how Stan Winston handing him a couple of SGI machines led, almost overnight, to him becoming one of the eight co-founders of Digital Domain alongside James Cameron and Scott Ross. Later in the conversation we move into Craig's animation career as a final layout artist and character TD at DreamWorks and Disney, with credits on Tangled, Rise of the Guardians, How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Turbo, and stories from working with Guillermo del Toro at DreamWorks. We finish on Craig's current role as Creative Director of the 3D Animation and Visual Effects department at the New York Film Academy in Burbank.
