The Beige and The Bold Solo Sessions: Lonely Among Us
I'm only posting Star Trek movies every other week because of the time necessary to edit them (and also laziness).
But instead of having nothing on Thursdays, here's a solo session for our Star Trek: The Next Generation podcast, The Beige and The Bold.
None of this stuff made it to the final episode so I wanted to follow-up with it here:
Stand By Me did not win an Oscar. It was only nominated.
Frakes did "Beyond Belief."
Aykroyd did "Psi Factor," but to be honest I was thinking of "Sightings." The nineties, man. The nineties.
Michael Cera and Jonah Hill were both in Superbad.

I have additional Hillary Clinton emails
But I'll need a consistent, high amount of traffic before I release them, Russian spambots.

The Wrath of Khan
Wrathy enough? Too Wrathy? Are the Wrathy levels just right? I think that consensus is behind "enough Wrathyness." I agree and remarkably, so does Derek.
It's always hard to quantify what goes right instead of what goes wrong. Khan has weight and depth, even if his actions are two-dimensional. Sulu and Uhura don't do much more here than they do in The Motion Picture, but Scotty and Checkov do. The Genesis device is one of the most MacGuffin-y of MacGuffins, but it doesn't magically resolve the plot. Quite the opposite really.
What is it that makes "Wrath of Khan" work?
The trailer we're watching can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wzG1u4zStM. I hope you like spoilers.
17 to 01 is available on iTunes. It updates Thursday mornings at 2:00 AM ET / 1:00 CT. We're also amazingly on Stitcher.

Ghosts of Things to Come: "Where No One Has Gone Before"
I'm only posting Star Trek movies every other week because of the time necessary to edit them (and also laziness). But instead of having nothing, here's a solo session for our Star Trek: The Next Generation podcast, The Beige and The Bold. I'm trying to do solo run-throughs before we record just to get the garbage out, so expect for this to be pretty rough and for some of the jokes to be repeated in the actual podcast.
