Patrick CotnoirHOST
And we would normally wait until the next time we were recording, but I'm going to New York for a little bit, and, uh, this is gonna come out while I'm in New York, so we don't have any time to actually record this a different time.
Patrick CotnoirHOST
Today, we're talking to composer Chris Westlake, who did all the music for Star Trek: Lower Decks.
Patrick CotnoirHOST
A really amazing score, one of my favorite Star Trek scores, um, out there.
Patrick CotnoirHOST
It really...
Jon M. WilsonHOST
Mm-hmm.
Blaine DowlerHOST
Which is one of the things I like about it, 'cause if this was a Star Trek show ... [laughs] I mean, Star Trek has done a story arc where a character had a substance or had an addiction problem, and the only-
Jon M. WilsonHOST
The next week you didn't know it.
Blaine DowlerHOST
Um, no, th- this, this arc lasted more than one episode.
Blaine DowlerHOST
[laughs]
Jon M. WilsonHOST
Yep.
Blaine DowlerHOST
And then, now before we close off, we will talk about actual Star Trek stuff.
Jon M. WilsonHOST
So trying to think of what else I had for this episode.
Jay ShepardHOST
I remember him from the Re-Animator series of films, and he's done a bunch of other stuff as well.
Joshua StolteHOST
Yes, he is one of the actors that has played the most roles in the Star Trek franchise.
Joshua StolteHOST
Oh, right.
Joshua StolteHOST
Yeah.
Joshua StolteHOST
He's played up to 11 different roles, different characters in a variety of Star Trek shows like Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Enterprise.
Joshua StolteHOST
So maybe Voyager as well.
Joshua StolteHOST
Voyager too, yeah.
Ben LindberghHOST
Just what's in our S tier? What's in our A tier? What are the shows that we've watched and we've liked, or we haven't watched? And what do we think of Apple TV as a whole, which [laughs] has a whole lot of huge critical darlings, not as many mainstream hits.
Ben LindberghHOST
We will also get into Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Season 4, the penultimate season, and we'll assess the state of Star Trek at the 60th anniversary of the franchise.
Ben LindberghHOST
We'll also talk about Hope, the big budget South Korean sci-fi flick, which is a, a monster alien movie.
Ben LindberghHOST
A little nod to Practical Magic 2 at the end of that second segment.
Ben LindberghHOST
As always, I solicit your nominations and recommendations for next month.
Ben LindberghHOST
You can email us your comments or your suggestions for other properties to cover in October and beyond at ringerverserecommends@gmail.com. I'll be back at the end of the episode to remind you of that address and also give you a bonus recommendation of my own for this month.
Ben LindberghHOST
But right now, let's talk Silo, followed by Dark Matter, Star Trek, Hope, and more.
Ben LindberghHOST
All right.
Marlessa StivalaHOST
So let's assume that this is what the writers were going for.
Marlessa StivalaHOST
So Sheldon is speaking from the very literal standpoint of being disappointed that William Shatner was not in the new Star Trek movie.
Marlessa StivalaHOST
Mm-hmm.
Marlessa StivalaHOST
But, you know, Shatner very infamously has a reputation of having a really big ego and being difficult to work with.
Marlessa StivalaHOST
of some of these series.
Marlessa StivalaHOST
But, well, for Sheldon, though, he's not...
Marlessa StivalaHOST
Sheldon doesn't think that, you know, because Sheldon is... wouldn't be aware of like Sheldon is speaking I think very genuinely as oh like I'm like the William Shatner like he's speaking as I'm upset that William Shatner was not in the new Star Trek movie and he to him he's just like William Shatner is Captain Kirk and he loves him as Captain Kirk the writers though would know about William Shatner's reputation so that's the commentary that they're at
Katie DeFonzoHOST
oh of course and I I mean too that I think right how when Howard has that comment I'm so glad you asked it that way I think there's this understanding that the other three would understand that too.
Erick EricksonHOST
I didn't even realize we were paying for it.
Erick EricksonHOST
Probably getting rid of Paramount+ now that, um, Star Trek is a...
Erick EricksonHOST
What a terrible season of Star Trek, by the way.
Erick EricksonHOST
It was just awful.
Erick EricksonHOST
Strange New Worlds, I liked the first and second season.
Drew BaxterHOST
Are we actually heading out into space? Or are we discovering what all those years of searching for the final frontier helped me to understand? Yes, I am an unapologetic Trekkie.
Drew BaxterHOST
I started watching Star Trek when I was eight or nine years old, and I've been watching it ever since.
Drew BaxterHOST
Of course, as is so often the case, the reasons I watched as a child and the reasons I watch as an adult are rather different.
Drew BaxterHOST
Back then, it was the strange new worlds, alien species and adventures in space.
Drew BaxterHOST
A future without poverty, racism or prejudice.
Drew BaxterHOST
Well, that was the ideal.
Drew BaxterHOST
And across the years, Star Trek has continued to evolve through new generations.
Drew BaxterHOST
As I wrote this chapter in 2026, Mrs.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Check.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Uh, Star Trek connections, MCU connections.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Well, there's some obvious ones, but let's get in there.
Scott JohnsonHOST
What do we got?
Randy JordanHOST
I'll give you, I only got one Star Trek connection for some reason.
Randy JordanHOST
These, these people are all fighters.
Randy JordanHOST
They're not really space travelers.
Randy JordanHOST
So it's one, it's one Star Trek, many Marvels.
BrianHOST
I had completely stopped caring about comic book stuff at this point.
BrianHOST
i was i mean heavy i mean 90s star trek and me it was just it was all 90s star trek and um military stuff because i was getting into junior otc and i you know next gen and ds9 were just roaring along at this point on television and i freaking loved those and um was that was all of my my nerd i mean it was either science fiction or it was it was um or just in real life, my military stuff.
BrianHOST
But, uh, this movie, I remember going to think that going to see this movie and just being like, this is dumb.
BrianHOST
Sorry.
25 MINS LATER
BrianHOST
It took me
ZachHOST
until I had subtitles to realize that in that scene when Two-Faced is diving off this helicopter, that he's saying, have the good taste to die.
ZachHOST
Because I was raised on Star Trek.
ZachHOST
I thought he was saying, it's a good day to die.
Travis SmithHOST
And so stuff like this is super easy to dive into.
Travis SmithHOST
I've also been playing, like, uh, the Star Trek Captain's Chair.
Travis SmithHOST
I've really been enjoying that.
TimGUEST
Oh, yeah.
