generation

Mm-hmm.

Like, the Enterprise faces the Borg, it faces Khan, it faces, you know, the most amazing threats imaginable, and it's always destroyed by, like, a random guy with a utility belt, you know? Like, it's this, you know, this stupid, you know, one little Klingon bird of prey, you know, it's Generations, you know, it's, you know, Star Trek Beyond, where, you know, some nanomachines fly at the Enterprise and it's blown off 20 minutes in.

You're just, I mean...

It's always terrible.

Won't they be on our tail in like five minutes? I love the Excelsior,

right? And it's never been shown like what is meant by transport drive, right? Like, I mean, that varies from movie to movie, series to series, you know.

But I love the design of the Excelsior, right? I mean, it's the Enterprise 1701B, you know, and Generations, you know.

i i i love the excelsior design i love the sense of the generations changing right that's their like that's a kind of follow-up on star trek 2 right like you know our ship is old as well right um but you know you're right like i i sort of feel like this has moments of greatness this has moments where it's you know coming at it like a a minus level And then the very next moment will be a moment that's like just an F, you know? And it's so weird this way to me.

Because they do exist, they just never added them.

I would love to see Generations.

Yeah, you would

see some newer ones mixed in there, even some 5s.

Uh, and also Jerry Ordway, I think, was the other one who was inking him, and that was, uh, again, a whole different look.

I mean, I don't wanna just rag on John Byrne [laughs] but to an- like, to really just answer your question, Dal, what, what my perception is, is that if what we saw were things like the Generations book and things like that, he wouldn't have become the John Byrne, the iconic John Byrne.

We're...

It, it's-

The interior light is likely coming from the regular star, but is there an open end of the cave allowing the light to flow in? And if so, is there a force field holding the air and atmosphere inside the cave? I have so many questions.

Meantime, quick thought about Star Trek Generations, an entirely different movie, Mary.

While in the Nexus, Kirk is living with a woman named Antonia.

So whenever I see Generations, I always wish Kirk's partner in the Nexus was either Edith Keeler from City on the Edge of Forever or Carol Marcus.

B.B. Besch was still alive at that point.

Instead, it was Antonia for some reason who we never see prior to the events of Generations.

And by the way, the next time we see Dr. Carol Marcus on screen was Star Trek Into Darkness, played by actress Alice Eve.

And worth noting, David Marcus returned in the form of a hallucinated baby in the Strange New Worlds episode in season four called The Griffin Incident.

The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum.

the adoption the master woodsman suddenly rose with knitted brows there is a strange presence in the forest he declared Then the queen and her nymphs turned and saw standing before them Nesil, with the sleeping infant clasped tightly in her arms and a defiant look in her deep blue eyes.

And thus for a moment they remain, the nymphs filled with surprise and concertation, but the brow of the master woodman gradually clearing as he gazed intently upon the beautiful immortal who had wilfully broken the law then the great ak to the wonder of all laid his hand softly on the seal's flowing locks and kissed her on her fair forehead

Sherrod Brown.

Um, I know that Spock and Kirk meet each other in one of the later ones.

Is that Generations or-

S- Spock and Kirk-

Not Spock.

Picard and Kirk

...

Picard and Kirk, yeah, Generations, and that's, that's terrible.

Again, shouldn't know that, but it is awful.
