Here's to the finest crew in starving. When it comes to my crew, you won't get any argument from me. This is a parody. Paramount owns the song. Welcome to the greatest generation. It's a Star Trek podcast by a couple guys just a little bit embarrassed about having a Star Trek podcast. I'm Ben Harrison. I'm Adam Pranika.

Adam, I was getting myself some lunch today. Oh? Went down to my beloved local Popeye's franchise. Oh, what you're describing is your secret lunchtime rendezvous that you hide the garbage from your wife after enjoying. I do do that. Not because I'd be in trouble, per se. I just don't want to get the look. I think all husbands out there understand the look.

Yeah, yeah. It's because of the look that I have gone for the record. Yeah. Yeah, you get the look too often, you might end up just getting divorced. Yeah, exactly. So this is a relationship enhancement technique that I go throw the Popeye's garbage away in the outdoor trash, where she's never going to see it. Sure, yeah, because she's never taken the trash out to the outdoor trash. That's my job.

That's my shit. She doesn't know the combination. I was noticing, though, that there's currently a promotion going on at Popeye's Adam, where it is Popeye's X Hot Ones, and there are a number of menu items that are, I guess, spiced in the way of the chicken wings on the Hot Ones program. Right. You've got your The Bombs and Other? Yeah. I didn't write anything down for this, so I don't remember what they were. But it just got me thinking, you know, because we're, I mean, we're no less an internet sensation than hot ones. Some would argue, a greater internet sensation than hot ones. I don't see anybody getting tattoos of hot ones.

I think they are. I think we just don't swim in the same social media pool. I'm just saying when and if the opportunity comes for us to collaborate. with a quick surface restaurant chain, what do you think we do? What's our, what's our angle on that? What, like, what chain? I mean, you know, McDonald's has, like, their celebrity meal, and that doesn't even have to have, like, a special item, right? It's just like, this guy gets his burger this way with french fries and a Dr. Pepper or whatever. I don't know. I don't know what any of the meals are, but you follow? You're asking me, were we to have a fast,

food collaboration with which fast food purveyor would we collaborate? Yeah, and how do you see it going? Like, what would we make? What would it be? I know how this is going to come off. This is going to come off as I don't even own a TV guy. But, like, I don't really eat fast food except for the rare road trip occasion. And even those are exceedingly rare. Like, I think Taco Bell is maybe my favorite fast food. okay but even that I'm only having very rarely yeah yeah I mean I only get it like two three times a week so I'm not yeah I'm not saying like I'm any different from you we're on exactly the same level yeah see what I'm doing is I'm eating healthfully for lunch and then

putting my trash on top of the garbage can like I don't even put it in because I want my wife to see it I want her to be proud of me because I crave her approval yeah yeah Yeah. I mean, I do too. I mean, if I'm going in for lunch, I'm making a big salad, and I'm walking at pastor going, ah? Ah? Pour a morning cup of coffee, go out into the back bathroom. Eh? Regular. Regular again.

Maybe it could be a coffee place. There's plenty of coffee chains we could work with. Like the idea of that. Helping the FODs get regular by patronizing a peats or whatever. What's the most embarrassing fast food item across all of fast food, do you think? Man. Is it the KFC double down, the sandwich where it was two pieces of chicken instead of two pieces of bread? I think people were pretty excited about that at the time, weren't they? Yeah.

Yeah. The thing about fast food is there really is no shame. It's not what it's about. You eat it in your car away from people to hide it. Yeah. Man. Which is to say they're hiding their shame. Yeah.

I feel like you have something chambered. What are you proposing here? No, I thought we could riff on it. But I mean, I'm really liking the idea of coffee because coffee is something that is done a little bit more publicly. Like, you know, there is the green straw of the Starbucks cup that has been made iconic by TMZ and is like something people do out in public. Is there a fast food brand that's like that but the opposite? Should we start over? I'm really trying to help.

This premise sucks. I'm trying to help. I just don't have the life experience of it. All right. Well, with help like this, why don't we just start over? Let's take a different run at the beginning of the episode. How about new? I think we've got something here.

I'm just trying to think of like what is embarrassing versus what you want to be seen with because I think what you're describing is, like, did you say TMZ popularized a Starbucks drink? Well, I just feel like the people on TMZ all have the Starbucks cup, and it's like the straw is the identifier on that in a big way. Okay. And, like, I think coffee bean, you know, went with purple straw in reaction to this. So, like, the different coffee places are now all color-coded the way the cell phone providers are all color-coded. Yeah. I mean, in parts of the south, you could get yourself an alcoholic beverage through a drive-through window. Do those have color-coded straws? I feel like that would be more our speed.

This is interesting. Is Purple Zebra a big enough chain to do Greatest Gen X Purple Zebra? I really feel like the meetings at Purple Zebra H.Q are going badly. Far worse than is generally no. I think there's contraction there, Ben. They're probably getting high on their own supply, you know. Little too many people coming to the meetings with a hoof for them to be taking care of business as a business. They don't seem like, as a customer, to be very enthusiastic about their own product. Yeah.

Maybe we could change that. Maybe Greatest Gen X Purple Zebra is the thing that starts turning things around for that business. as someone with a best friend who's a restaurant tour. Leave me out of that one, my friend. I think the very last thing you'll ever find me doing is getting involved in a restaurant or restaurant idea, if any kind. Oh, it's just a licensing play for us, man. They're just paying us on every unit sold. Oh, then perfect. Sign me up. I'll sign anything with that kind of deal. Well, I think that the one thing that they've got to do is modify the hoof so that it fits in a cup holder, you know. I think that's where they went wrong. What I think they should do is put two hooves connected so that you could use both cup holders in your car.

Because how often have you ever encountered a single? I feel like whenever you see cup holders, you see two. They're always paired up, yeah. Yeah. And this way you get the stability. what you don't get is the side-to-side danger of a single cup holder. At least you're locked in there. But if you're hitting the gas or the brakes, watch out.

You've still, you've got that forward and backward momentum. I guess it depends on if your pair of cup holders are aligned with the axle or aligned with the drive train. This is what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly it. Because I have drive-train cup holders in my car.

So I feel like it's the corners that I'm going to be worrying about with the double-off. have axle cup holders. How about that? This would never work. You know, Purple Zebra are not thinking about these things, and that is probably a big part of why, you know, they can't hold on to real estate at the Rio. Right. Right. I also could never advocate drinking a hoof drink and driving, but I just think that's dangerous to put out of the world. I think people shouldn't take their drinking and driving advice from Star Trek podcasters. I say, you know, you use your own judgment on that one. Very, very true. Yeah, freedom. We would never want to infringe upon your freedoms to do whatever the hell you want. Well, look for the greatest Gen X Purple Zebra

Colabo coming, you know, just after Star Trek Las Vegas next year. Probably missed the timing on it. Oh yeah. If there's one regret I have about STLV and there are Miriam, it's probably how little we drank at the booth. Probably could have made better decisions there. There needs to be a bar in the vendor hall, you know? The thing is, policy was fairly specific about not bringing alcoholic beverages in. Now that we've done it once before, we know no one checks and no one gives a shit. The extent to which no one gives a shit cannot be overstated. The extent to which most people we encountered were having something, I think, was

Pretty clear, starting from day one. Yeah, yeah. Well, people give a shit in today's episode, Adam. A rousing, stirring episode about giving a shit about Nazis in America, something I thought everyone gave a shit about. Do you want to get into it? Heroically put, Ben. Let's get into Enterprise Season 4, episode 2, Stormfront, Part 2.

Got free speech and guitar. Opening on some newsreel footage. Showing the furor, visiting New York City, a city that he conquered. Look at him, cozying up to Lady Liberty. Pressing the flesh with all of the fine people of New York City's high society. He's seeing all the sights. I feel like if you're Hitler, you got to see all the places he went to. If you're going there to give a speech, I mean, you got to do a little bit of light tour

also. I know that I had the image of George Washington, you know, in the Madison Square Garden rally that Hitler was attending in this newsreel. Like, I'm aware of what that actually is, but I don't think Hitler is standing in front of a giant picture of somebody other than Hitler, personally. I mean, maybe due to his many victories in this timeline, he's kind of mellowed a little bit. You'd think his ego has had the edge taken off of it, I just like repeated success. I think this episode is pretty forceful with the idea that many, many things have changed in this timeline, that perhaps being one of them.

Maybe so. Yeah. Maybe this is a softer, less selfish Hitler. Yeah. He's talking about like the parasitic elements in American society that they're going to get rid of. I thought it was an interesting moment here because I was like, I know why this. their dog whistling because you don't want people somebody like flipping through the channels and

just seeing something that appears to be like a horrific condemnation of like jews and immigrants or whatever on your on your network this is not a network show right it's syndicated to uPN i guess ben are you suggesting that hitler may be against jews and immigrants what well they they don't put those those terms in specifically it's like it's it's it's dog whistles right and And I wondered if that was like because of standards and practices being like a little we're uncomfortable with like saying that explicitly on the air. Oh, who knows? I think this is a message that is common with quote unquote strongmen who want to quote

unquote save the economy and the working man. You know, there's always going to be a threat out there. And in this case, financial profiteers is the whistle. I think you're referring to. Yeah, yeah. So that is our cold open. With the news reel over, we go to the White House where that field marshaly guy

is pretty stressed out about the coming Allied counterattack on the beachhead that the Nazis have formed on the entire eastern seaboard of the United States. Ben, let's just say, for argument's sake, you're Hitler, okay? I'm going to invite the FODs along with this thought experiment, okay? Benjamin R. Harrison is Hitler.

He and his army have invaded the eastern seaboard of the United States. Now I'm going to ask you. And he's visit, sorry, not he, I am visiting New York to like, you know, glad hand and celebrate my big victory. Absolutely. A victory that is absent many of the large photos of yourself that you tend to speechify in front of. or at least used to. You know, it was a cult of personality for a while, but now everybody just sees that the ideas are good enough,

that it doesn't need to be about me. I got to ask you, Hitler, Benjamin R. Harrison, you're visiting the United States. I got to believe you're going to eventually see the White House. Why is repairing the damage to the White House not a priority? This thing is kicked. like all they did was was set up some a tank out front in the in the lawn

but like a whole corner of this thing is fucked and I got to ask you Hitler like is that the reason you're not visiting the White House because it's not ready for you you know what the problem that the Nazis had is they don't have enough bunting it's all banners it's all long banners hanging everywhere and bunting can cover up shit like that

You just put a bunch of bunting around the crown of the building. That'll hide that stuff. Bunting is great. Bunting is so great. It's very festive. No evidence of Hitler actually visiting. That's the question I'm more interested in an answer to than like dog whistles or whatever. Is like is the image of Hitler at the White House something they ever discussed?

Because what an incredible image that would be. Like, I want to be provoked by a storyline like this. And I think all of the risks that this episode doesn't take leave me feeling a little disappointed in that way. Yeah. Like, we'll provoke, but not too much. Just banners. Just banners and armbands and stuff.

Yeah. I mean, like, the field marshal guy doesn't seem, like, he's a general in the German army, but he doesn't, like... He's not bad. He's never given any personal, like, actions to condemn him, you know? He's merely a functionary. Like, you get Hitler in the...

room with Vosk. Now we're fucking talking. Did they not want to cast for Hitler? Yeah, German general guy, like, the only downside to him is administrative. Like, he just can't get on the same page as Vosk. Yeah, they're basically having a clerical argument, you know, like, when are we going to do what? Just going to sit here and wait for the American counterattack. No one wants to do that. I mean, I guess Vosk doesn't give a shit, but this German general kind of wants to do something instead of weight. What they're arguing about is this squadron that Vosk does not want to deploy yet. Vosk is saying the squadron is not ready.

German general is saying it doesn't matter. We've got this big counterattack coming. You swore an oath to defend Germany. This is Germany now. And the squadron in question, like I'm picturing the footage that we got shown in the previous episode of the guy, you know, taking out a tank with. with a handheld weapon. Big argument over

what to do with the squadron. And Fosca's like, he really big dogs the shit out of the field marshal. He's like, you are such a pipsqueak. Your goal is to conquer land. I'm expressing my will across time. I'm doing big shit over here.

You're doing little shit. Leave me alone. Pipe down. It's a hell of a way to win an argument when like what you're trying to do is get supplies and arms. to fight a war and Vosk

Vosk just tells you I could erase you from everyone's memory if I wanted to I just choose not to yikes the next time you feel the urge to threaten me

remember this I wanted so badly for them to leave the room and those two guys standing guard at the door to like exchange a look or anything like does this not impress them

at all? Yeah it seems like every conversation at this level is eavesdropped on by guards like you're saying only no one registers that they are hearing any of it the way that they should yeah ben can you imagine being a nazi i mean i've been doing it so far i'm still visiting new york in this right yeah that was the pause for effect okay but but you're still like a private and your your job is door duty like door duty like door doork for aliens, like actual aliens.

And then when you leave, they're like, don't tell anybody about what you're seeing, you know, with the Martians. Yeah, that's incredible. Up on Enterprise, Alicia Travers is up in the dead Ensign O'Malley's quarters. Just kind of looking through her things. Kind of thought that you take that stuff down. After the letter is sent, I think, maybe. Right.

once trip breaks the news to the parents you put it all in a foot locker and ship that stuff home to them sure not a great time for Archer to walk in but he does the gazing window isn't working like anyone thought it would I think in this scene I love that

they took another run and how Alicia would react to learning about what the future is like and they were like oh it will seem like it sucks to her like from where she's sitting like she's on like the most fucked up busted starship all we're learning about is like florida getting taken out by war with

the zindi she's she's like this is like warhammer 40k stuff that you're talking about i don't want to go into this future i want to go back to bensonhurst this is so interesting that like the dream for a science fiction enthusiast is often like beam me up like take me to the future take me to the starship that i believe to be there so i can live my life in the future and And the idea that you probably have a fair chance of being beamed up to a ship that is busted and shitty. Because why else would a future species want to interact with you unless they were desperate? Yeah. They're coming back here because something went terribly wrong for them.

The good starships don't need you. Yeah. I mean, like, Dr. Gillian probably should have come to the same conclusion when she saw what the inside of the HMS bounty looked like. Yeah. I mean, not to mention what Lily saw on board the E, you know. It was a fucking nightmare up there. The thing that underscores this entire idea is that Archer's like, look, I could send you anywhere on the planet down there. Where would you like to go?

And she's like, well, back home is where I want to be, that apartment specifically. Bensonhurst is where I want to be, where I can shoot Nazis. Yeah, she also has some pretty good ideas about bombing Berlin from. orbit. She's like, you got this fancy starship. I don't know what it can do, but if you could help, that would be pretty huge. Start with Berlin. Wipe that damn place off the map. Fucking A. Archer promises to help, but not in the way that she's asking or that she thinks that they should. And that has got to be so crushing for her. One of the many ways and moments that she has crushed this episode, I think. Yeah. The future is deeply disappointing. But she's going to help

them figure out where Tripp and Travis got taken. Archer is going to break his promise not to use the transporter on her anymore because the shuttles are busted. Archer broke a promise. Darn, Archer. You know as soon as he grows that five o'clock shadow, he is going to start lying constantly. Because you really think it's fair use. Vosk is told by one of his guys that the entrepreneur is from a future that does not have time travel yet. This is very interesting information to him, but he's a little distracted because they're testing their time conduit thing. And it does not work.

The test is a bust. And we learn in the scene that they're pretty short on time, or at least Vosk believes that they are based on. how antsy this German general is getting. It's like, yeah, I don't know how much longer they're going to, like, actually play ball with us, so we better get this thing figured out. There's some talk about, like, what about all these guns and stuff? Like, why don't we just give them that?

Like, that will, like, buy us some forbearance from the Germans. And he's like, they could point those guns at us, man. Like, I'm not giving them stuff that could tip the balance of power in their favor. That is a interesting argument. from Vosk and a group of people that I'm trying to figure out how we're supposed to feel about them because they sort of like they start off by making fun of enterprise and like, God, these people don't know anything.

They don't even know, they don't know how they got here. They don't have time travel capabilities. They don't have capabilities for the time travel. And like this whole 180 that Vosk takes about, like, you know those prisoners that I, that I, that I know or getting the shit kicked out of them. Why don't we give them some proper medical attention? And, you know, sometimes I'll, like, wink at people and say proper medical attention.

I mean, like, enhanced torture. Like, I don't know how to convey that I actually mean, like, proper and good medical attention. Right, right. Like, like, I'm not saying proper medical attention like I'm stringer bell talking about something on a phone I'm not sure is safe to talk on. I'm actually saying proper medical attention. This is what's so confusing about being evil is, like, even when you're being sincere, everyone thinks you're being evil. They're like, boss, are you feeling okay? Do you need medical attention? So Tripp and Mayweather are dragged to their concrete cell, and it looks like they've been roughed up pretty bad.

Hard to know whether the sullabon on the ceiling is going to be an improvement to their situation or not when it falls on top of Tripp. we learn a bit more about the revision of history in a little McLaughlin group it seems like the the point in time where stuff started changing they figured out is when Lenin was shot and killed and therefore did not rise to power and the Bolsheviks never had their revolution and so when Hitler got his war going he considered the Russians not to be a threat and therefore focused all of his efforts on rampaging westward rather than eastward. And there's some rumors about Lennon's killer having vanished into thin air, which could be cloaking like a Sulebun or could be beaming away.

Sure. But I thought it was very useful that they reminded us like one scene ago that Sulebans can go invisible because I was like, oh, it could have been Sillic. Right. Or somebody that rolls with Sillic anyways. And we're learning so much about this. alternate history, almost setting up the series of novels that could be then adapted into an Amazon Prime original television series. But we got to go. Read describes kind of a chill

Hitler who's not so vain the way he might have been in their prime timeline. Captain, he would give a speech in front of a picture of somebody other than him. One thing that is almost exactly the same between timelines is the complete lack of bunting between Nazis of this era and our own. The Germans just

never considered it and hard to believe, but it's actually kind of a weak point for them. Just then Vosk blows in a call to Enterprise, which Archer takes on the bridge. This conversation is about prisoners and meeting up to do an exchange for them

and we do that immediately. like hey do you want to meet up and exchange prisoners okay and then we're there in this wooded area where archer and a couple of makos beamed down to and there's good old vask arriving in a apc and everyone is armed i was a little surprised by this like there was no discussion beforehand about like you bring two and i bring two and no weapons allowed and like we'll do that thing where we pat each other down at the center of the bridge or whatever there is none of that like everyone one's armed, everyone's pointing things at each other. I wondered at this moment, could you just shoot Vosk with the phaser set to kill? And that solves the, like, does that just like jump you in time? Everything goes, goes correct? I don't know, Ben, that just kind of sounds like a really Hitler sort of idea from you. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah, it is interesting traveling to the past and that not being like the main focus on everybody's mind. Tripp and Mayweather are brought out, and they look very surprised to see Archer, which was a reminder to me that they don't know that Archer's alive.

Yeah, easy to forget this, given all of the confusion of the last two episodes leading up to this. But they believed Archer to be dead, although I did like the way Connor Turner played Tripp realizing this as a little understated, a little like, oh, ha ha, you know. Right, knowing what we find out a little bit later about him. Yeah. Yeah. So Vosk wants to know, like, what do you know about me, Archer? And Archer starts, like, telling him all of the shit that Daniels told him, why give this information up? Like, what is in it for you, Archer, to tell Vosk exactly what you know about him?

This is more dork, Archer, you know? It truly is because he seems to be speaking like someone who's just nervous and babbling. What I like about this moment is how wrong. he is. Yeah. Voska's like, wrong! You ever think that maybe you're on the wrong side of this whole

temporal Cold War, Archer? Because the thing about Daniels, and I'm sure you've noticed this, Daniels does not like to watch. Daniels likes getting involved in the timeline. Don't you think that's a little aggressive for someone who purports to be all about the coldness of this temporal war? he describes.

And it is a little bit challenging. And Vosk starts to describe the people that Daniels is aligned with as being the real tyrants because they maintain and manipulate the timeline, but they do things that benefit them specifically. And Vosk feels like there should be like more democratization of time travel technology. And you should be able to get to do what you want and like fix the timeline up the way you think it should be fixed up. He's a real 2A time travel guy.

Societies and cultures can be improved through careful manipulation of historical events. Got to say, I found his argument very persuasive. And I think a big part of it is just how unlikable Daniels is. And how squirrely he is with his reasoning and so forth and his manipulations of Archer. Then again, Fosk did go back in time. and not kill Hitler, so, you know. Fosk has an amazing offer on the table for Archer. He's like, look, if you just fuck off and leave me alone to do my time travel business,

I'll send you back to a corrected future that was just like the way it was when you left it. Like, I'll fix all the bullshit that you're seeing down here and make it right. But just leave us alone to do our work, all right? It is an interesting pitch. I mean, you really have to extend a ton of trust to Vosk to buy this because he's like, like, you're going to go home and then I'll stay here and I'll make sure everything is right when you get there. There's not a lot of assurances surrounding that. We don't have a lot of time to go down this tangent, but like if this was the moment that becomes back to the future part two,

where like, yeah, Archer and Enterprise are returned to their future, but something again, It's not quite right. Like, this could be the entire season of just fixing time travel shit. Reed's Biff in the Back to the Future two parlance, right? Like, there's no way they return and read isn't a total monster. Yeah, read, what he's gotten is a copy of all of these letters that he wrote in the future to various girlfriends. And now he's using those letters to get into the pants early of these women. He's groundhogs daying all of these women.

Yeah. Doing it perfect. You speak French. What a monster. But what Vosk really wants is, like, tech from the enterprise. He's like, you see what we're working with down here. I might as well be banging rocks together. You're not much better, but you're better enough that it will speed up my ability to build my time conduit.

Like, this is good for me and good for you. And Daniels is an asshole. So what do you say, Archer? and Archer's like, all right, I'll give it some thought. Which is real big city, fuck you. Whenever you say that. It really is. Legally, it's just a far joke.

You will never take the greatest chin alive. Ben would rather die. Back on Enterprise and Six Bay, Archer talks to Tripp and Mayweather in there when Dr. Flax does that conspicuous, hey, take a look at this scan I just scanned of Trip Tucker and kind of does the, uh, the Seinfeld looking at the ticket that hits the table, like his eyes get all wide. Whoa. Who ordered the market price lobster?

The conversation almost immediately gets really awkward until Tripp and Archer just get into a full-blown tussle. Yeah. And then Sulaubon Tripp runs the hell out of there and gets shot in the back by two Makos in the corridor. I wish we threw to Mayweather a little bit more in the scene, like for React. Yeah. Give me Mayweather React here. Like in the way of the guards in the White House, like I want to know what somebody that didn't get to see the scan is thinking in this moment.

I know. I know. They roll the body over and it is revealed to be Silic. Pretty exciting. but we cut away to Bensonhurst where Bobby Bacola is getting a gunshot wound tended to by Alicia and he heard a little something about her and Archer vanishing into thin air and I wondered how famous the assassination of Lennon was and if he was like anything to do with that like oh yeah like if he were to tie the two things together that would have been very interesting yeah he also went through her jacket and found her star trek communicator and she is she feels very violated by this like like why are you going through my shit and relax i was looking for a

cigarette i also found this and it's it's like the uh the plastic circle case of birth control He's like, I thought your husband was out of town. She's like, I take it for hormones. It cleared up my acne. What the fuck is wrong? Just more and more shit from her purse, he produces. And what about this? And he just like holds up her keys.

And he's like, do you really need all these keys? And she's like, shut up. There's definitely some that I need to take off. I just haven't gotten around to it. He wants the truth. unclear at this point whether he's going to get it, though. Archer steps to Silic, who has been taken to the brig, starts questioning him about, like, what did you find down there?

Because you had this great, seedy rum tucked into your pants pocket. I've been going through your jacket, too. That's funny. And it's a schematic of Vosk's facility. Was it referred to as a complex? Oh, it could have been a fun. Felicity also. Yeah.

Ben, are you surprised that there is a brig that can hold Silic on the ship? Or do you think Silic wants to be here? Because I personally don't think that any brig on Enterprise could hold him. You're saying it's like Joker getting taken to the major crimes holding cell. Precisely. This is exactly where he wants to be right now. Might be. So we know that Silic.

has a ghost boss who cannot actually travel back in time, but Vosk can. So there's this theory that's proffered here that, like, the guy you're working for is trying to get the tech that Vosk has. So it looks like, yeah, sometimes I'll go to work and there'll be the shadowy figure there. He looks like he's wearing a wig. And like his uniform doesn't look quite right. They're like a camera crew is following him around too for some sort of documentary. Don't quite get that. He said at the end he's going to give me and my family $10,000. I guess billionaires are good. I love how Silic is so sure, Jan, to Archer here. Like, yeah, data disc being stolen is a thing that I dislike, but the extent to which I need your ship to accomplish my mission should be

evident to you by now, but I cannot tell you how little of a shit I give about Tripp Tucker. Like, what does he have to do with anything? We have a felicity to get down to. At some point, Archer opens the door and starts getting physical with Silic. Isn't that a joke, too? I love Silic noticing that Archer is Dark Archer now. Yeah. I mean, this close, you can see the stubble. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean, Silic's people, don't grow hair. So it must be really alarming to him. Like, what's wrong with your face?

Man. I wish I knew with the Suleban what was possible to hurt them with. Like, if you held him up against the wall by his neck, does that hurt or not? I don't personally think it does. But then later on, something even more painful happens to him. And I was very surprised by that scene. Yeah. I thought it would be T-1,000 a little bit more, you know? I don't trust just two Makos standing at the door could keep him in there when the door swings open. Not at all. I feel like the Makos got really lucky outside Six Bay. Anyways, Tripp wakes up, and he's hog-tied in a closet.

But not hog-tied that good. Like, he's able to unbind his feet pretty quickly. But, yeah, he's somewhere in the complex. Do you think he's fully restrained with how he's tied up? I would say he's not. Wow. Yeah. It's really good.

It's really good, Adam. Are we out of handcuffs? This is the 40s. Do we not have the steel for handcuffs? This is what Silic was able to accomplish in the, like, I need to impersonate this guy and get up to the entrepreneur context, so maybe he just didn't have time to, like, get the correct supplies. Yeah. Because it did look like, the hands look like they're maybe bound with peacord, but the feet

looked like they were bound with, like, dental floss or something. Yeah, and the knots are hasty. You see these knots, you know it to be true. Yeah. We get another hail from Vosk, another archer offering a lot more information to Vosk than he really needs to. But, yeah, they've got guns pointed at each other. like Vosk has a plasma cannon, Archer has phase cannons, who do you think shoots first in a Vosk and Archer are having a little disagreement about whether Archer is going to help situation.

I mean, it's a fun question. It seems like mutually assured destruction. These two armaments seem fairly even, don't they? It seems like they would be. I mean, I guess the earth-based ones are under a shield, so there's that. Vosk is able to hurt the entrepreneur, and they fire back a couple of times, but those shields protect Vosk. I guess my point was Archer in dialogue as like stating a real mutually assured destruction concept that does not exist here. I think he's expecting a fairer fight that it ends up becoming.

Yeah, yeah, good point. Well, with the ship damaged, Archer's like, fuck, we got to figure out about those shields. Topal, here's that data disc. You figure out how to knock out the shields. He goes to talk to Silic, and Silic's like, yeah, I'll help you bust into there. You know, I'd prefer to work solo because of my genetic advantages that enabled me to slip in there undetected. And Archer's like, no deal. And then Topal like wheels around the corner, and she's like, all right, I figured out how to disable their shields.

It's a real sending Vulcans on the away mission, you know? We have completed the mission. You may return us to Enterprise. It's really fun. And it is almost as fun to see a Suleban in street clothes as it is seeing Vulcans in street clothes. Yeah, it's good stuff. The plan is we're going to go down there. We're going to sneak in.

We're going to get the shields down. Once we do that, give us 10 minutes to get away so that we aren't killed in the bombardment and then nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. In Vosk's base, he's told by the Nazi general that, that American resistance forces are headed for Washington, D.C., and also that Hitler is ordering Vosk's squadron of fighter planes to be transferred to his command. And there's some pushback here because these planes are going to require some special training.

You just can't shove a Luftwaffe pilot into these things and expect them to know what to do. The training doesn't matter at all to the general. Yeah, he's like, get her done. Vask is very very frustrated here and declares to his his inferiors that it's going to be tonight that they're going to have to leave. Even though they haven't seen a good test of the time conduit yet, like it's do-or-die-time. It really feels like dad's being mean to me and I'm going to run away, like that kind of vibe. Fucking hate that guy. That Nazi general is always such a dick to me.

Even though the conduit doesn't work He's told to his face That thing has never worked It's never worked for more than a fraction of a second Vask is like Fuck it man We're going tonight Manifest Destiny has been such an inspiration to Vosk

Yeah If we change the words Then it's fair use all day long In his little mop closet Trip shimmies himself up a sewer pipe and busts a light bulb so that he can get a little piece of glass to cut the bonds on his hands. And we see Archer and Silic walking around. Silic has de-aliened himself. He now looks human. Which has got to be, if you're the actor who plays Silic, your favorite day

on set. What a relief. Oh, man, it's got to be so nice. I checked to make sure that they didn't just cast someone else as human Silic. Because would Isn't that have been the greatest insult? It's like, oh, man, so, so like on day three, like, I'm reading the script, and it seems like I'm on the street with Archer and I look human. Like, that's my day, right? No, we got another guy for that. You know, somebody whose face we like.

You have a face for Sulabon, and that's where we need you. Sillig is talking to Archer about, like, yeah, like, I didn't, I thought all of you humans were such wimps based on all of our interactions and then I go back at the past and you guys are nuts and I am genuinely impressed with how you've drawn on the savage history of your people to make this new character of dark archer. We learn a little bit more about the relationship between the sulibon and Vosks people in that Vosk's species hate the Sulabon to the extent that they tried to time travel back in time to a point where they could stop the Sulaubon from becoming sentient. And that is a pretty hard action to forgive, according to Sillic.

Archer's like, they tried to make you a Lenny culture? And Silic is like, yeah, but Daniels and those guys stopped them. And Archer's like, well, why are you fighting Daniels then? What gives? Yeah. Yeah, it's weird. I almost would prefer no backstory to this backstory. It kind of feels like maybe they got a little bit of the lenienting done, you know?

Fair, yeah. Silicon Archer make their way to a burn barrel with some do-woppers. They ask about Alicia Travers. Hey, you know Alicia Travers? There she is. She just pops up from behind a corner, along with Bobby Bacola. Very fun. They're like, well, glad you're back. and Archer is here to rope them into an attack on the complex. We learn on the bridge that the Allied attack has begun, and the fighting is not close to New York City, so we're not worried about this swamping or overwhelming the efforts of our away team.

And we also learned that the repairs to the ship are going slow, and that the targeting array is one of the things that's messed up. their job of blowing up the site from orbit is going to be made very difficult by the no-targeting array situation. And what do you know? Their chief engineer is one of the unaccounted for members of the away team. Reed is like, now, as long as you don't expect too much for me, in terms of being able to hit the target, I want to reiterate that I want to keep your expectations low. And everyone was like, yeah, read, sure. Yeah. We'll do what. best. You said that the target is very big? Oh, thank fuck. On the streets of Brooklyn,

Silic is about as frustrated by how slow the plot is moving as anyone and wants to ditch Bobby Bacola and Alicia Travers right there. But Bobby and Alicia are not on the same page and she's going to go ahead and help them no matter what Bobby wants to do or say about it. So we cut to Vosk and his guys. Fosca is sort of a villain monologue slash captain's speech for his creepy friends. The mastery of time has allowed us to perfect ourselves to reach our full potential as a people. I mean, this is good. You got to do that. Like, if you're about to flip on the switch to the suicide booth, what is eventually going to be a suicide booth? You want to make sure the troops are ready to run into it. You do. Right? There can be no

doubt and that's what this halftime speech is for yeah trip has uh has gotten into the room he's hiding in the shadows listening to this and it made me wonder like the my brothers were going home speech did he say that in german or in english or in his own like does trip understand what is being said in this room was a question on my mind how great would a hunt for red october translation sequence have worked here It would have been great. That would have been cool. Bobby Bacala has been talked into this.

So the mafia stage an attack on the entrance of the time travel device complex. And meanwhile, Archer and Silic are going to go sneak in a back way where Silic is going to like gooey himself through an air vent and then like open the door from the inside. And there's a funny little pregnant moment where like, I hope, uh, open. he does actually come back and open this thing up for Archer. And he does. Good old Silic. He can always count on him. What is that fucking vent doing right next to the door like it's a mail slot?

No one has ever installed a vent next to a door in the way that this one is. Have you ever seen this before in your entire life? It looks like a really, really big version of the vent that my dryer puts the hot air out of in the side of my house. That's it exactly. I didn't get the sense that they were doing a ton of laundry at this facility. No, no. Unlike the facility in the Golden Eye game where it's almost all that happens there. And also unlike Felicity, who does a bunch of it when she goes off to college.

Inside the base, they are aware of this breach, but Vosk is like, pay it no mind. That's Nazi work. Vosk work is operating this. time travel phone booth. Speaking of calling it Voskwork, like I was persistently annoyed that we never got a name for this type of alien in watching this episode. I was like, can we name them? Like, I want to know what they are. Yeah, they have a name on like memory alpha, but it's never said in episode. That's why I choose not to say it. Yeah, I didn't look it up. So they're activating the conduit in another part of the building, Archer and Silik managed to get the shields down.

doing a lot of firefighting enterprise enters the atmosphere of the planets to go on its bombing run but archer and silica are under a lot of fire and silica is like could i please arm myself like do i just have to cower behind the the 55 gallon drums with you while you do all of the shooting like i i do have some game here like i could be an asset in this battle This was the moment where I started to question the imperviousness of the sullabon to all sorts of things. Like, is it just an energy weapon that could take him down or could anything else do it? Because, like, there's a really brave moment where Silic climbs up a bunch of shit and then, like, gets the jump on some people with guns and, like, does clobbering moves. And I'm like, oh, yeah, he's fine.

He's got a gun now, but like, it's not like, bang, bang to the back. Like, Silic's down and he's dead. Like, almost, as these thoughts are occurring to me, I'm like, oh, shit, really? Yeah. I was really surprised that he bled red. So did I. Yeah. Doesn't look like he would bleed red.

Do you think after all the things that Silic did, he might have gotten some red dead redemption? Hmm. I don't know. I mean, all I feel like I can say is RSVP, Sillic. Yeah, yeah. Archer goes to, like, move his eyelids down, and his hand just goes into his face. He closes those two eyelids and two more eyes open up.

He's, like, back and forth, like, no, I can't close both all four at the same time. Oh, now it's all over me. He, like, wipes his hand on his, uh, And now Cilic eyes are all over the front of his uniform. I'm like, oh, come on. Oh. And I've got faith of the far heart. Legally, it's just a far joke.

With the entrepreneur heading toward them, Vosk decides to deploy his special squadron to defend the facility. And the Nazi general walks in and he's like, not so fast. I told you that they were going to go do blah, blah, blah, because Hitler ordered it. And Foss just shoots him. him dead. RSVP, the general. I mean, Vosk probably wondering why Hitler's being so unreasonable here about the fighter plan seems like kind of a departure from the chill Hitler that, like chill on vacation

Hitler that was depicted earlier on the episode. Why is he acting like he's in the bunker already? This is nuts. I know. I know. Vosk is in charge now, Ben. Archer tries to radio the enterprise but they don't pick up Silica I guess is still like breathing a couple of his last breaths

and he's like oh yeah they won't be able to because of the ionization and the atmosphere were you hoping for something more substantial as far as words to say with your dying breath I was like really all he's going to say is like yeah you're your your walkie-talkie's not going to work if they're in the atmosphere Not any sort of like Dark Archer is my favorite Archer

You son of a bitch But I suppose I can settle for this I mean there was the like You were a worthy adversary But like I wanted Archer to be like Who's the shadowy man in the column of light Like yeah I've been coughing up

Information left and right this episode Why don't you cough some now Yeah I was hoping for that myself So Archer starts walking away from this corpse and bumps into Tripp in the hallway and Tripp believes him to be Silic. I loved this moment, too. Because Tripp doesn't know archers alive.

He still doesn't know. Yeah, it's great. I love this moment. But they got a happy reunion once Tripp gets to see the dead body of Silic lying there with a bunch of Nazis. Up on the bridge, Reed realizes he's going to have to take out

the facility the old-fashioned way. Just as long as everyone gives me a half a dozen shots just Mayweather if you could just circle around the area several times so I can orient myself

toward the target I wanted to take out the felicity the old fashion where you know dinner in a movie she turned me down and this was post haircut can you believe it

how great are the shots of Enterprise descending through the atmosphere. It's so pretty. Beginning with its descent, I thought they really did these effect shots right. They really did. So the mob starts to fall back

because they're told by Archer that this whole site is going to be going sky high. Archer's like, look, I'm not sure there is a safe distance away from here. We've got Reed up here trying to hit a target, and, I mean, Reed normally not very good at that.

So... We'll be shooting in the dark. Go is full. Fast as far as you can. Archer promises to unfuck the timeline to Alicia and says his goodbyes. I love this moment as they depart because Alicia's like, look, Archer, you got to fix racism when you're fixing the timeline. Like, you got to make sure that goes away.

You got to make sure that there's justice for black people like me. And there's a big pause. And she's like, no, I can't ask you for that. I'm just going to ask you to stick me back into my apartment with my husband. I'm like, what? Alicia, ask for more. Please. Like start your negotiation with a big number so that you can work your way to something reasonable.

You don't start yourself in the hole. Way too modest with, I think, what could be demands on her part. She has done an awful lot and risked an awful lot for Archer. she's a fucking badass she deserves an awful lot he's like yeah as long as you don't need me to fix anything systemic that's fine into your apartment with your husband you will go yeah hopefully he's not one of those 1940s husbands who gets a little uh loose with the temper is he a time traveler too is he from like the 80s he's a little softer i'm not not too soft you know not like a 90s husband.

Alicia's like he loves me, I promise. He just gets angry sometimes. Archer's like, all right, good enough. Sounds good. I will fix nothing. That's good enough for Dark Archer. I also can fly off the handle in terms of my temper. So I get it.

So we get some pretty cool combat footage with the modified Stuka dive bombers that are now fixed with space weapons, archer's on the bridge. Vosk gets his conduit fired up and it seems like the temporal hole is going to stay open long enough for him to walk through. I really like that it's Vosk that goes first. Like say what you will about Vosk, complicated person, definitely a Nazi. However, he wasn't the sort of Nazi that's going to stick a hench through the time hole first. He's going to go first on his own. Yeah. Let's just say Vosk was doing time travel the right way.

Yeah. Yep. All this happens is Enterprise dogfights above New York City. I fucking love these scenes. So beautiful. I had no idea I needed this and I needed it so bad. I think it's one thing to depict Enterprise above New York City dog fighting against World War II-era aircraft. It is another thing to add the frosting.

that is the time of day that this takes place. Like, it's so golden and beautiful in addition to all that's happening here. I love that extra step. Yeah. They set this at like the crack of fuck so that it would be so fucking beautiful. Yeah. Almost as beautiful as seeing Fosk's body warp and rip apart when they fire on the facility at close range and destroy the time conduit. Oh, you don't believe he got through the portal and it was just a little more pain.

painful than he was expecting you don't think transit was a success no because suddenly we're in like the kind of movie that you go to in a theater at a history museum and yeah this is this is like the the the theme package to a mid-90s PBS show that chooses a different historical moment for every episode Archer and Daniels are in this liminal space Why is there a stairway in this liminal space too? Because like we're

with Archer first and you see like starting from the feet like the still suit of a Daniels and the camera like slowly rises up and you're bracing yourself because you're like I mean we saw that guy in Six Bay. He was not easy

on the eyes like with his hair up in a messy bun and those glasses, no way. Would not. In this liminal space, Daniels is beautiful. He does a bunch of exposition about how everything worked out good. And Archer's like, okay, good. Well, I would like to be left the fuck alone. Like, I was really sold Star Trek Enterprise as like a prequel series and not a fucking crazy time travel series can we have a prequel series please I was absolutely

feeling the energy of that Ben that the things that Archer was saying were things that Dark Archer felt but also things that like we the viewers are feeling like done with Daniels done forever sick of you

don't care anymore you know what don't come back on any Star Trek series you will be unwelcome My real name is a bit of a red directive in and of itself. Don't even try and work it in in the last 15 minutes of one. Like, we'll be pissed. You're going to think it's a pleasant surprise or whatever?

It won't be. No one will like it. Everyone is okay. The temporal Cold War is coming to an end, and we're back on the bridge. The earth is there on the view screen. It looks beautiful. But what day is it? It's the right time.

It's the right time. And I guess they know it because of the armada of human and Vulcan ships that approach that are not weapons hot. Nice little ship parade welcome home or the entrepreneur. They have got to be horrified at the condition of enterprise. We don't get the react in this moment. But I wonder if we will in the next episode, Ben. Yeah. Curious to get there.

But before we do, I've got to ask, did you like this episode? It's fun to get some laughs out of the episode, but I really thought it was thin. And I think the reason why you started to articulate at the beginning of the episode was like just how shallow it became when it had to deal with anything having to do with Nazis or race or whatever. like I would have complained if it if it proselytized too much in a Star Trek way so I know I can't like have it both ways but like have Vosk shoot Hitler out of desperation like have something crazy happen it just didn't feel crazy enough to me in a weird way and like if you have the benefit of fucking with the timeline and having there be no consequences by the time Enterprise is sent back into their proper future. get messy get way more messy than this way more messy than lasers on stucas you know

like I wanted it to be grosser I wanted it to be bigger I wanted something like more explosive at the end but I guess I guess we got that with the destruction of this indie weapon I guess we're going for

a different kind of victory here a more cerebral victory I don't know like I think that you know like at the beginning of Inglorious Bastors there's that scene where Christopher Valtz is in the farmhouse and it's just like one of the most tense scenes

and it's because he is a true believer and he's like articulating what his horrific ideology is you know like if you're going to go ahead and set your show in a past where the Nazis are rampaging around like you don't need to like pull your punches they're fucking Nazis you know punch the Nazis and I didn't feel like this delivered enough of that you know Yeah, I just wanted it to be weirder

than it was And it's too bad Because I think it represents I mean they clearly had a great big budget for this A lot of big sets A lot of locations Big effects shots Scrape a little bit off of the plate

And onto a practical Hitler actor Or I don't know A submarine shooting laser weapons That's fucking cool I don't know I think there are all sorts of ideas that could have worked here. I wonder to what extent this represents a return to Star Trek form. Like a book feels like it has closed here on a very long storyline that I wonder will bring on, you know, more episodic Star Trek from here until the end.

Makes me wonder. We shall see. We shall also see what is in the priority one inbox, Adam. You want to head over there with me? Oh, Ben. You know what's in there? Hitler. Oh.

Priority one message from Starfleet coming in on secure channel. You need a supplemental. Supplemental. Supplement. Yeah, it's extra. The interest alone could be enough to buy this ship. Adam, this is a promotional priority one message. It looks like this.

I especially appreciate your love for the orchestra. 2025 has been a tough one between my corporate IT job and parenting, but your humor has helped me through. Also, hearing your pandemic stories is helping me make sense of my own. Whoa. By the timpianist by night. Oakland. All right.

Thank you, Dan. What a great job in the symphony. My eye is always drawn to the timpani in any orchestra. They're doing the big swings. It seems like they're having the most fun. It does. It feels like there have got to be like long stretches where you're like, oh, fuck, I wish I could be on my phone, like dicking around on social media or something, though.

That's an interesting point. Like, you've got to remain fully engaged, even when you're not doing it. anything. It seems like it takes a lot of concentration. Yeah. Well, thank you for the kind words, Dan. Hey, you only have three more years of episodes to listen to. Yeah. I wonder if Dan has dipped into greatest trek yet, because there's plenty more over there. Oh, yeah. If the well starts to run dry. Dan's got something to listen to during the parties he's not playing. Yeah. Yeah, just one earbud, though, right? Like kind of, kind of split your focus there. Yeah. All right, well, if you'd like to get a priority one message on the show, you can do it. Go to maximum fun.org slash jumbotron and book

yours today. Hey, Ben. What's that, Adam? Did you find yourself a drunk schmota? Incredible. Drunk Shimoda! Yeah, I got to give it to those White House Nazi guards. I mean, there were many people on screen that confused me. Like, some of Vusks, people are walking around wearing Nazi armbands and some are not? And I was like, I wonder what they're like, are they like, I'm not, I mean, I'll participate in the war effort, but I'm not a party member, even though I'm an alien. See, I think that's a chill Hitler policy. He's like, look, we're relaxing the rules on the uniforms a little bit. You can opt in or not. But the people that perplex and delight me most of all are the guys that are like, yeah, I got a pretty cush job guarding the field

marshal who's been installed as the governor general of north america and is operating out of the white house and occasionally i do you know provide body coverage for him when he's having meetings with the extraterrestrials that are giving us the superweapons that we're using to prosecute this war and yes occasionally they do threaten his life but i don't say anything about it i mean maybe they're just sleeper agents you know like maybe they've just gotten themselves in in a sensitive area, and then they're waiting to strike. Maybe they got one earbud in, you know, you can't see, but they're actually listening to, like, old episodes of the greatest generation.

They're, like, halfway through the Deep Space Nine episodes right now. That's how you stay saying. So they're kind of, they're a little bit focused on that. They're going to miss the, uh, they're going to miss their cue, is the problem. Yeah. Yeah. I think mine is going to be just the decision to dress Silic and Archer in head to toe philson gear giving Archer the hat again God damn he looks great in a hat

but Silic looking like a Philson ad for folks that work with toxic waste I thought was so fucking funny to me and in a way that wasn't I don't think intentionally supposed to be funny

he looks ridiculous does look very silly faith of the fart very silly indeed Adam and sometimes we do this show in a way that is very silly indeed. We play this game at the end of every episode. It's called The Game of Buttholes, Will of the Riker, Quantum Leap, and it determines how we will be doing the next episode of the show. The next episode of this show is Season 4, Episode 3,
