Episode Date: July 3, 2023

When Voyager slips into an alien’s underspace without asking, they have to find parking on an irradiated planet where they’re faced with the drawbacks of cryotech. But when Seven wakes up a battalion of perfect murderers, Janeway’s knack for counter intelligence leaves two species fighting an ancient space battle. Who will be first to market with direct-to-consumer cryopods? What do all Blue Alert eps have in common? How many ways can you wipe?

Priority 1 message from Starfleet coming in on Secured Channel. Hey friends of Disodo. Before today's episode, we just wanted to take a moment to talk about the historic labor actions being taken by writers and actors in the American Film and Television industry. If you're a fan of the work done by the people who make Star Trek, we hope you'll join us in standing in solidarity with the folks who actually bring these adventures to life. Over the past several years, the AMPTP, the organization that represents the American Film and Television Production Studios, have reduced the profit from movies and TV going to workers. And in so doing,

they've attempted to weaken the labor unions that represent those workers. They wouldn't even engage the unions on many issues in their negotiations. And so a strike was the only course of action to take. Adam, Wendy and I have been having a lot of internal discussions about how best to stand with the unions and we are continuing those conversations in a dynamic situation. We're doing our best to understand where the picket lines are in these digital spaces,

and we would never intentionally cross one. With the information we have, we feel like we can do more good talking about and supporting the strike and continuing our show as planned. We'll keep you informed about what all this means for greatest trek specifically. Today we're making a contribution to the Entertainment Community Fund. This fund exists to help all the people whose livelihoods have been put on hold because the AMPTP refuses to negotiate

in good faith with the unions. It provides financial support for writers, actors, and all the thousands of laborers who make the shows that we talk about here and without whom we wouldn't have Star Trek to cast pot about. Those folks are all out of work because billionaires, company shareholders, and the executives of these companies don't want to compromise on the length of their yachts. We hope you'll join us in supporting entertainment workers in a challenging time, especially after they've already endured several years of challenges brought on by the pandemic

and season two of Star Trek Picard. We've set up a page where you can also contribute. It's at friendsofdecotoforlabor.com. That's friendsofdececoto for Labor.com. That's FriendsOfDecoto for Labor.com. Link in the episode description. Okay, now let's get on with the show. Here's to the finest crew in Starfleet. Engage! Watch your back shot. Hello. I'm Captain Captain Bringengwe. The U.S.S. Border. Captain. Captain. Bringengwa the U.S.S. Border. Captain. Captain. Captain. Welcome to the greatest generation. It's a Star Trek podcast by a couple of guys just a little bit embarrassed about having a Star Trek podcast. I'm Adam Pranaka.

I'm Ben Harrison. Sleep for 900 years. That sounds great. God, doesn't it? That sounds so good. That sounds great. God, doesn't it? That sounds so good. Yeah, that sounds great. Low key, the technology I want the most from Star Trek is cylindrical tube that I could go to sleep in for decades or centuries. And then just wake up in a new time. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Who wouldn't sign up for that? I mean, that's what people are doing when they sign up for cryo, right?

Yeah, I think so. That's the promise of it. You get woken up. for that. I mean, that's what people are doing when they sign up for cryo, right? Like, I think so. That's the promise of it. You get woken up and then you're just ahead. Yeah. And they're like, oh, these silly diseases, these people have are trivially easy for us to fix. The disease of having a body. All of the science fiction depictions of this are always like the people waking up are waking up to something better. Yeah. Where are the examples in science fiction of people waking up into something awful? Because on Star Trek at least it's very much a like $5 carnival guitar situation where

like I could have as many carnival guitars as I want. And the best martinis for the bottom. Sounds great. I mean, I'd say this episode we're about to start discussing is an example of its worst for these people and they wake up, but like. But it's worse because these people are bad, right? Yeah, do you think that given what happens to this dude's wife, you're still as in on sleepy

tube? Like, if one of the risks is that you wake up and you look like a bunch of fucking joint compound, just got poured into a tube. I have been working with joint compound a lot lately. So, yeah. I mean, you don't wake up dead is what happens. This feels a lot like Susie wanting a grave plot next to her husband and curb, right? Even your best self, I'm not interested for eternity.

The hedge against that is same tube, right? Oh, there is a certain type of wife and a certain type of husband that is same tube, right? Oh. There is a certain type of wife and a certain type of husband that would be like, let's just get in the same one. We don't need a king bed. The full is fine. Ugh. And then that's where they are.

And then whatever happens to the tube happens to you both. These tubes are a lot like if you got the same brand of sleeping bag, you can just zip them together. I could never do that. It would be because it's too hot, right? The moments before you go to sleep, too hot. I would be awake for 800 years in one of these tubes.

I could never go completely down. Even at cryogenic temperatures, too hot. Yeah. And in more distance, I'm sticking my feet out from under so that the fan can be on them, you know? But, yeah. And you need more distance. I'm sticking my feet out from under so that the fan can be on them, you know? Please tell me your cryogenic tube has footholes. I'm gonna need one of those.

No kidding, man. God, could you imagine how warm your pillow gets if your head is on it for 800 years before flipping it over? Oh my God, yeah. And then you find out that last 100 years is just 100 years, you know, you're like, fuck, I should have been flipping it over way more often. I know.

God. You know what? In the beginning I thought this was a great idea, but now we both are thrilled to do this awful. Cryotechnology is bad. It's bad and uncomfortable. That's why this episode is sponsored by Casper Cryopods. Yeah.

They would be the first to market. Huh? Yeah, probably. Yeah, the direct to consumer cryopods sounds great. Yeah. Comes right to your house, take it out of the box and it expands, filled the space. They'd be fine with advertising on our show until one of the hosts became too greedy and ran them away. Yeah. That's why we'll never get invited to do cryo advertisements.

Yeah, that's certainly true. Well, as aspirational as aspects of this episode were for me, there were other things about these aliens of which I did not approve, Adam. Do you want to get into it? I really do, Ben. Let's get into Star Trek Voyager season six episode seven! Dragon's Teeth.

Breaver, of course. Unless you've got something a little bigger in your torpedo tubes, I'm not turning the bomb. Bum! Bum Bordman! They're bomb-barding a city. Bum-bard-man? I saw this city, I saw it in ruins.

I wanted to know that Chris Brenner was safe. Oh. This looked like a Chris Brenner city to me. The kind of place that he would like to hang out. Somebody save the channel 90 town Brinner information systems You know interface operations net access channel 90 We cut to underground and

There's a... I thought he was saying G's. I didn't catch, I think it's G'sa. Is the guy's wife. But every time he said her name, I thought he was like, G's, get over here. It's Gedrin and G'sa are running around. Do you think before this bombardment?

Bombardment. Moments where she became upset, he'd be like telling his friends about an argument they had and he's like, God, Jesus cries. A lot. A lot. That was worth going back for, right? Right.

And then like, you know, he tells like a scary story about a time she almost got hit crossing the street and he was like, Jesus on the cross walk really scared me. You know, I just get tired of eating, he did leftovers all the time. Jesus saves.

That's who I married. Jesus not doing any of the saving here. It's, what's his name? Gary. Gedrins. That's Gedrins job. Yeah. And when they make it below the city and to the biopods that are waiting for them, the

pods are their only hope. Pods are their only hope. One would assume that they have already prediscussed the myrium issues with these pods, the hot pillow, the lack of footholes, et cetera. Right. But he's like, look babe, it's just gonna be five years. We can put up with a lot of shit for five years, am I right?

And Jesus, like now is not the time to start yet another argument that could make me cry. Ha, ha, ha, ha. They're getting in, like, he's had to disconnect some of these biopods, but not theirs. Yeah. Where they did? I had no choice.

You gotta be sure. It's really rugged. What's going on? Like, there's stuff fallen from the ceiling. Later, these chambers are described as having been quote to built to last. Unquote, but they're really getting rocked by whatever's happening up on the surface and they get in their pods and asleep. They go.

With what you learn about Gedrin later. When you think about this scene again, do you think Gedrin was completely careful with his wife and the buttons and so forth? Do you think there was any foul play here? Oh, I don't know. I would have liked a moment where you see a rock fall on the panel

of her pod after he's already down? I'm gonna support my argument later because I think there is clear evidence that something fishy happened here. That Gedrin was looking to unburden himself. Yeah. Wow. That's not happiness to see me, is it? We unburden ourselves from the cold open

and get the theme right after this, after which we're back with Voyager, where it's on a kind of space log flume ride. Full of debris. We start in media hole. This thing is almost 800 years old and they pass a vessel going the wrong way. Yeah. I did like that that vessel was like flicking the

braids at the Voyager. Yeah, there's a whole bunch of shit in this hole too. Yeah, it's a mess in there. Yeah. They're not doing their regular clean outs. They're not, you know, opening up for the bidet. The Voyager didn't choose to be there either. It accidentally slipped in.

And this hole is filthy. Whoops. I didn't mean to go in this hole. Can you find a way out? I don't know. Nobody believes you Voyager. That's a dirty trick. Up on screen, they find a very uncomfortable alien who looks like he had his loaf applied and then was antiqued in the jackass parlance You know This guy is not happy to see them This under space belongs to us. Jane was like look We don't want to be here and this was an accident and he was like, yeah, right? Everyone wants to be here. This whole is great people are trying to get into this hole

Left and right people make up all kinds of reasons to be here. This whole is great. People are trying to get into this whole left and right. People make up all kinds of reasons to be in here. You can just slip yourself into my under space. You need to ask. Look at us. We bleach ourselves. So he agrees to help them get out of the room. And what he does is shoot some beam So he agrees to help them get out of the room. And what he does is shoot some beam at their shields

which change the harmonics and they slip out. And he follows them and tells them to prepare to be boarded so that he and his guys can come erase all of the records of what happened to Voyager from their database. That's because the value of how far they've traveled is made clear here. 200 light years and five minutes really impresses Voyager. And Jane was like, we would like to get back on that ride.

We're willing to go back to the line and do it again. There's coffee in that under space of yours. And this guy is like, not only are you not invited back to the log flume, you're gonna forget that the water park even existed. Yeah, and I mean, this has got that kind of haunted water park vibe to it, like they're not keeping up on the maintenance on all the slides.

The water smells a little weird. Yeah, maybe there's a cranky dad that's sabotaging some of the rides. Who knows? Look, I'm just another part visitor. Do do do. Don't you love the smell of a water ride? That is one of my favorite parts of a water ride. A mixture of muddy runoff from a nearby hill, human waste, suntan lotion, and gourd from open wounds.

Love that smell. Yeah, they don't get to enjoy the smell because this turns into a dogfight and Voyager is trading shots at these guys and they're getting their ass kicked and they have to high-tail it to a nearby planet that has been totally irradiated. And they just kind of like take a gamble on the idea that maybe these guys' shields won't be as good as ours. Pretty good gamble because these guys fuck right off, but when Voyager breaks through the cloud cover, it is revealed that there is a destroyed city below,

a destroyed city that looks familiar to anyone who watched the cold open. Yeah, it's like a destroyed city that looks familiar to anyone who watched the cold open. Yeah, it's like a destroyed version of that city from the cold open is what you're seeing. I am yeah Yeah, I'm doing this thing lately where I kind of like describe the premise of a joke you just did I love it. It's kind of a new thing that I'm really into right now. I fully support it. Okay, cool. I won't seem so random anymore. Yeah, so they set down. We don't get the blue alert sequence, but they land the plane in the middle of this town.

The bad guys can't follow them. So it's one of those things where you're going downtown and you're like a little stressed about it because you know that parking is kind of tricky down there. And like despite the fact that like everybody in this civilization is dead, they can't find anything that's less than like $20 an hour. And like nobody validates. You don't want to be super precious about your car because it's just a thing, but like no one wants to park in the completely destroyed part of the city, where a bunch of people have died, right? I'm just asking to get your door dinged, right? Yeah.

Yeah. I read there was a lot of argument in the effects team about how big to make Voyager in relation to the buildings. Oh, that's interesting. Did you have a read on that when the Voyager finally lands? Because initially, they were like, let's make Voyager look super tiny and the skyscrapers look big. But the argument that ended up winning out was, let's make Voyager look big. It's a fucking starship. And when it lands, I like the sense of scale you get off of it. Voyager next to a skyscraper, I think this works.

I thought it worked pretty well. There's a line where Janeway's looking at the Bruins and we see them on the view screen and she's like, This must have been a city of millions. To me, that did not read as a million person settlement. Yeah, it looked like Fresno. It did. And I mean, like that alone makes them not want to part there.

I know. But they do. And the ships continue to circle overhead. Every time we do a bit like that, Danny Barwella texts us and expresses his ombridge. I see you, Danny. Kim gets survivors on his panel and Jane weighs like,

I'm gonna go investigate with seven and two Valk and so she does. And on the surface, they find these chambers just still humming away. Ben, what do you do when you find cryogenic chambers? What's the very, very first thing you need to do? I think what I would probably do

if I found cryogenic chambers is go up to the glass part and wipe away the dust with my palm. You see in this scene that Tuvac kind of fingers the dust buster? Because if Janeway doesn't do this right, she goes directly to the brig. Yeah. As chief of security, I think you're on her bound to kill your captain then and there. Yeah. That frost wipes away nice. Yeah. It does. Very satisfying. They're like, wow, there's like so many of these like we got to look around and Janeway and two buck walk away and seven is just like opening up the tennis sardines without even asking

as soon as the chamber opens you never see this sort of display from seven of nine but the thing like slides back and a bunch of vapor goes into the air and sevens like, hugh! 900 years of sleepfarts. MN8 out of this thing. Remind me to re-equate you with the way mission protocols. Oh, it is gnarly. Really bad.

I mean, that just happens every time G Getron banks his hands against the table. Yeah. Of course, it's locked in. Poor it. You're just going to need to be careful because I'm going to say this once. So Getron wakes up and he's like, Oh man, wow.

Hmm, five years. That's, that is some great sleep. Feels, feels real good. Can't wait to see what happened with my sleep. Feels, feels real good. Can't wait to see what happened with my wife. Let's open her up. Which one is your wife's chamber and Gedrin points over at like a refrigerator

that's been duct tape shut never open, but they do. And oh no, RSVP, Gedren's wife. Yeah, and they'll go, geez, and he's like, how did you know? Ben, this is the scene to me that betrays Gedron's feelings because to Gedron, he fell asleep moments ago with a wife that he quote unquote, loved. His read here when it's revealed that she's dead does not feel real at all, does not feel good,

feel suspicious. Like to him, she just died in front of him instead of died 900 years ago. It feels wrong. Yeah, I mean, he doesn't seem broken up over it in the least. And it never comes back up. Like nobody ever like asks him how he's doing or anything. Like, you gotta fall to your knees and say, why God, why or something, you know, like, you're just meeting these people.

You're making a bad first impression. I don't know, man. You also need to be pretty careful around the guy who just turned his wife into wood filler, like not to ask him about his wood filler wife. You know, that's a raw nerve. Yeah, that's why, you know, like when he moves into his state room on Voyager, like he's, you know, taking his clothes out of the suitcase and he puts the ask me about my wood filler wife T-shirt at the bottom of the drawer. He's not ready to wear that yet.

Yeah, I mean, Gedrin is an interesting character and his portrayal is well done, but something's missing here. Something I was very interested in knowing more about. He notices that seven of nine is a Borgs and he's like, you must recognize me. I'm a Vatuar.

And she's like, I don't know her. I don't know her. I love how Gedrin uses the pointed finger, like the witch pointed finger. He's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like,

he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like,rin here, and he looks like the dinosaur that took down Dennis Nedry and Jurassic Park. The Dylophosaurus. He's got Dylophosaurus neck, doesn't he? Yeah, he does look like a guy that would watch the stick that you threw, but wouldn't actually chase it, you know? And the one that you're extinct.

Yeah. Anyways, yeah, they're like, hey man, maybe you know something about this. There's these aliens called the Tari and we were using their under-space tubes and they got really mad at us. And now they're like, you know, in orbit around this planet, we're hiding from them. And he's like, their tubes, those are our tubes. Yeah. Yeah, real argument about tubes is about to pop off here in this episode. We just don't know it yet. What we know for now is Gedren's hungry.

Yeah. And in the mess hall, Nielix is there to serve. But what is Nielix doing? You don't know what this guy's dietary restrictions are. You come out here with a tray of food? You could kill somebody! Vanduare are a species of alien that is unknown to the crew of Voyager. Therefore, more research about their dietary needs is necessary before taffric and dine

a menu to fit this neighborhood. Interesting pattern between Gedron and Neelix, right? Yeah, because he's like, oh, you're, you're Tlaxse Lezé or whatever. And he's like, I mean, that's like my ancestors called themselves that, but we have cut most of the non-X letters out of most of our words It's such an interesting angle to take with the past person that you don't get in like the $5 carnival guitar group of people or the God what's her name in the voyage episode the the pilot who got lost. Oh, I think her name

Fuck episode the the pilot who got lost oh fuck for name fuck fuck oh fuck oh fuck god damn it my mind is shattered

fucking hell fucking hell amelia airheart okay okay totally lost the thread of what I was gonna argue for here. We're just really on the same page, aren't we? We learned that in Tlaxian, Vadwar is like an archaic term for fool.

So the... Gedron comes from the fool people. Neelix, what are you doing? I'm sure it is. Just coincidence, of course. This is just classic Neelix stepping into this one. Yeah. He didn't even step in it.

He threw it. It's kind of like Kramer, like always saying, like the awkward thing directly to someone's face. Like you just say that to someone. Yeah. Oh, you must be like one of those old fools from back in the day. It's an interesting moment because the ships on the ground,

we get to look out the window, seeing the ruins of the city, and Janeways in this scene too, and she's like, you still got a ton of gear under the surface. Yeah, it's up with all that gear. And he's like, oh, yeah, so like, we were gonna sleep for five years, because like all of these guys were so jealous of our tubes

and we're gonna like, ride it out. I mean, he does say that it's like a battalion and their families specifically, but we're gonna ride it out and then we're gonna like get out of here, assuming that it would take them about five years for their, you know, fragile alliance to fall apart and everybody start bickering with each other over the tubes.

Well we have a lot of, a lot of soldiers down there in tubes and got all of their wives ended up being in tubes that were broken. And it's, I mean, I guess it's sad if it were possible for me to express sadness about such a thing. Yeah. But yeah, real weird, huh? I mean, that's just how the rocks fell on the panels, you know? I should appear to be stupid.

Yeah. Spur the moments. Weird that we situated those particular cryo chambers right under all the folly rocks. It's almost like creating a federation starship bridge directly below a number of girders. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Weird.

Anyways, they don't have time to eat this big spread of beige food that Nielix has made for them because bombs start falling in the city ruin that they're looking out the window at Bums so for fat wars That's all I got I don't have lyrics to that song One two three it's on have you ever killed your wife in a cryo chamber? They can't fire back because the same

Yeah. They can't fire back because the same radiation that they're using to hide is obscuring their sensors. But he's like, oh man, there's a sentry satellite that should be still in orbit and we built these things to last. So I can get you the codes to access the satellite. You guys can fire back. Like a blind person at an orgy.

These are bangers that they can't see. That's a naked gun joke. Don't come at me with your letters. Naked gun did that first. Uh huh, uh huh. Adam, why couldn't he just be a person wearing an eye mask in an orgy? Oh yeah, OJ Simpson was in the naked gun. So back in jail.

Back in jail over here. They fire back and they like disable the lead ship and the rest of the turis start kind of scattering and he's like, great. So just kill the rest of those guys and we should be all set here and they're like, what? And he's like, you're gonna kill the rest of the Tari so that they don't go back and get more guys. Gedren's like, you're gonna kill someone, aren't you? They're like, weren't you wearing that same red sport coat in the last episode? in the last episode. Jane was like, well, at the end of a game of mortal combat, I just let the other person wobble and then fall. That is how I prefer to play it.

Or I do babyality. That's how we spend. He's pretty shocked that they let the Tariq go, but he's not shocked out of being willing to cut a deal with them So they start talking about like these tubes and he's like, yeah, we've got like these under space tubes are a great way to get around They're way faster than warp travel and we've got a map of them that's like super detailed It was like we were the envy of the galaxy in our day. And they kind of cut a deal. Like, you guys will help us navigate out of here via tube

and will help you resuscitate all of your warriors. No one ever brings up the idea that these tubes are full of shit, though. Janeway is like, I would love to be in the tubes, but are you gonna clean them out first? Maybe do like a master cleanse. We almost ran into a lot of crud in the tubes. I hope you have cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and maple syrup stacked away in those caves somewhere, because we are going to need to flush these tubes.

No one brings it up. They're like, yeah, all right, sign this up. Ready to ride. I've got tickets that lock them, get them. All the better large ones here. I've got tickets that lock them, what's not, are you selling a high suit? God.

A greatest gen live show is something you don't want to miss. Why? Well, it's a great opportunity to see me and Ben in person, but that's not all. FODs from all over gather at these shows to cosplay, to do pre and post show hangs, to make friends, and share their embarrassment. Hey, let's make a pretty great name for a tour. Let's do it! The Sherry Reembarishment Tour is coming in August 2023.

We've got a bunch of dates in a lot of great places. Go to greatestgentour.com to get more info. That's greatestgentour.com for dates and ticketing information for the Sherry Reembarishment Tour. I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Jesse Thorne. On Jordan Jesse Go, we make pure, delightful nonsense. We were open awesome guests and bring them down to our level.

We get stupid with Judy Greer. My friend Molly and I call it having the spaceweards. Pat Noswald. Could I get a Balrog burger and some air-gorn fries? Thank you. And Kumail Non-Giani. I've come back with cat toothbrushes, which is impossible to use. Come get stupider with us at MaximumFun.org.

Look, your podcast apps are already open, just pull it out. Give Jordan Jesse Goat try. Being smart is hard. Be dumb instead. Oh, rats, hey, hey, hey, oh, I'm about to count you in line. These clouds are really freaking me out. I hate having to stand in line. And boy, what do I?

These giraffes do not smell good. No, they do not, and they've such short neck. But I'm hearing we need to get on this. We gotta get on the art. It's about terrain, about a spout to destroy humanity. Hey, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Are you Noah? Yeah, I know we look like humans. We're actually, we're podcasters.

We are podcasters, so it's different. Have you heard of Ohno Ross and Carrie? We investigate spirituality, claims of the paranormal, stuff like that. And you have a boat and say the world's gonna end, so seem like something for us to check out. We would love to be on the boats. We came two by two.

What do you think? Ono Ross and Carrie, available on MaximumFun.org. They go down to the Star Trek caves once again to start waking up the battalion and Chicago take gets to say the name of the episode. Great moment for him. You probably need a couple of takes at this to not do the accidental smile, saying the name of the episode. Mm-hmm. It's great.

What a barn find down there, right? Yeah. Oh man. Bunch of classic vatwarships. And just cherry, you know, like really well maintained. Like they're, you know, like it doesn't seem like somebody's been coming in and running them. So the engines are probably going to need some work. Hey, you know what the VatWire should have done is put all the chambers under those ships.

Whoa. The rocks fall on the ships. They're fine. Nothing wrong with those. Well, I think what they did is they put a lot of the cryo chambers like under the ships, but like a couple of the ones with the wives were like just to the side You know and that's where the damage happened. No, it's actually better if you're not under the wing like these ships are dangerous You want some headroom, right? Here I'll put you in first The fuck

Yeah The fuck? Yeah. Later on, we learned that 200 Vadoire soldiers are now awake and no wives, and all of them are pretty psyched about their dead cowardly wives. Like it's not just that they're dead, but this idea that they might have been insufficiently brave for Gedron as brought up later. Yeah. It's a shame she didn't show more courage at the end. With this civilization revived,

the episode starts to feel real different. And we get an interesting cut where Nielix like Pokes's head in to check on Naomi Wildman and Naomi Wildman is having a bad time. She has met some of these bad-wire kids. I don't like them and I don't want to play with them. They're fools, Adam.

Naomi finally realizes how unfunded it is to play with her because that's what she feels for these other kids. Yeah, I took them into my flotter game and they just expanded territory and killed all the characters. How about Nielix getting off of a mess hall shift and going straight to Naomi Wildman's to not read her a bedtime story to tell her that he cannot. Yeah. He's a great dude. She doesn't really want to like open up to him about what she so upset about, but he kind of won't drop it until she does. Well, I mean, that's a great point, right? You cannot force a child to be friends with someone, and that's a mistake that Nielix

makes here. Yeah. Well, and the reason she doesn't want to be friends with them is that they've said means it specifically about him. They hate tolaccians. Yeah. They've been raised to hate tolaccians. And he's like, I don't blame them. I mean, I'm very silly and I do have weird ears and like my feet like don't even get me started on those. I was just going to say, does Naomi not know about the foot situation? Because that seems like the thing you'd make fun of. Right, yeah. It didn't come up when she was hanging out with the bad work. Now, it doesn't feel good to be baddy-shamed,

and that's the feeling that Nielix is kind of obscuring from Naomi here. Yeah. Later in engineering, one of the Vandwares is really chatting up BLT. I would say almost hitting on her. Today is a good day to die. It's like learned a little bit of her language and like really thinks that Klingons are cool. I mean, that's because it's clear to him

that BLT isn't in a relationship. There's no evidence for that at all this episode. Yeah, but she's not totally charmed by this because he's like, I'd love to have you in a cryo chamber right next to mine, but the wing of the ship isn't covering yours as much. We're just another married couple trying to work things out.

They're teamed up on the revival project, the project that serves to wake up everyone in these chambers. But it looks like what revival project BLT is on is reviving the moisture and balance of her hair. Listen, elegant waves. She's rocking a brand new hairstyle here. Yeah, she looks great. Yeah. She can't a brand new hairstyle here. She looks great. Yeah.

She can't be charmed by this guy. Even though he imagines death in a new way every night as he goes to sleep. If only BLT had a stick to throw, oh wait, that wouldn't work against this guy. She throws a tricorder across the room. It's like, what are you doing? We kind of need that to do the work.

But yeah, it's suspicious, right? This guy's interest in her. It doesn't read as professionally interested in who you're working with in order to build rapport. It's just like random. It reads as like, I think, klingons are cool for the wrong reasons. Yeah. I love how obsessed with death you are. Let me tell you how obsessed we are. And then there's a whole lot of examples of that. Yeah. And she's like, how do you feel about eels though? And he's like, mmm.

though. He's like, hmm. Yeah. Neelix is doing a little bit of etymology research and learns a little bit more about the word vaduar in old Tlaxian. He momentarily stumps the computer. He takes a seat in his recliner and he's like computer and then the computer interrupts him like Tlaxian footstep videos Like 30 pages of them like already cashed and ready to go good guess good guess Yeah, but I actually was gonna search something else first. I know what time it is computer and ordinarily This would be great for me, but I need to be an ambassador right now. Do you think we know that they beam the pee and the poo out of you?

Do you think if you crank off on a ship, it beams the ropes out of mid-air? I hate that question. Or do you still have to have a gym sock? I mean, there's so much carpet on this ship. Exactly. Now wonder they have to ration replicator credits, you know? People are stranded. They've got to be cranking off a ton. The tale of the bloody hand.

A more awful question has never been asked on this show. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Have you finally gone too far? They're rationing computer power. Ben? Yeah. True. I don't think they can do that. They're just beaming it into a Nike shoebox for later. Transfer complete.

That's what one of those bins in the cargo bay is. It's just a giant, bins in the cargo bay is. It's just a giant sloshy bucket of gum. I've got to get email for Wendy that she tenders her resignation. She would have every right to. That was horrible, horrible moment in the history of the show. Yeah. Gedron is in the ass lab looking for new plants to colonize. It's a place to call home. And, you know, like his understanding of what's around is 900 years old. So, Sevin is doing a lot of disabusing him of, oh yeah, that would be great.

Like yeah, you could go there, except for you'd be living under the boot heel of a xenophobic alien species. Good luck. The energy here is straight out of like, you finally get allowance money and you can get anything you want. And then you go to the candy aisle in the grocery store and like,

all you can afford is shit. It's like, Fig Newton's, Fuck. Yeah. Yeah, it's nothing but Fig Newton planets all the way down here. It sucks. And you can read it on Gedrick's face. He's like, I killed my wife for this. This sucks.

Man, this plan is actually bad. Yeah. What the hell? Lowkey, one of the craziest things about being asleep for 900 years is like seeing all the territory that you used to have begun. Mm-hmm. He's like, so the Borgs have all of this.

And the Devor also? Yeah, she's like, them's a brakes. And then the other crazy thing about being asleep for 900 years is he looks at his Apple watch and it says he only got like 45 minutes of deep sleep and he's like really? That's it. Is that like good? Is that how much you're supposed to get? I don't know. I get no context for this data. We cut back to a shot of his tube and it is just the rash inside. like 892 years of just rolling around,

constantly, the light sleep of a roller-rounder. So the Hive of McLaughlin group, is your want. This is where they're coming up with the plan for getting everybody off planet. And Voyager is really going to throw itself into the fray to help these people because they are not suspicious of these dudes yet.

You brought up something earlier I want to interrogate though. Oh, okay. Which is that they've woken up 200 people and they've woken up potentially hundreds more. There's a moment in this episode where they're outnumbered. Yeah. And that is such, I know I felt that watching this episode at that point.

And it seems like you did too. And I think that in relation to this moment, and like, why are we helping them? We don't even know them. Yeah. And there are so many, like, it starts to feel less a choice and more something they're forced to do. And that really makes everything from this point more uncomfortable. It feels a little bit naive that they're trusting the entire group based on what this

one guy is telling them about the group, especially given how non-plusty was to find that his wife looks like a bunch of joint compound when they opened her tube. You told me eventually we'd be waking up strong female leads. Where are they? And he's like, yeah, our species doesn't have those because it's like, what would they say? Like, how do you write dialogue for them?

Yeah. It's not just that there are, you know, a dozen T-Ray ships in orbit. It's that there are more and more all the time. Yeah. They're going gonna need Gedrins fleet to help break out of this situation. And two bucks, I got a plan for that. We're gonna use Voyager to surprise attack the T-Ray. And then that's gonna give cover to the VAD warship,

so they can make for the log flume, after which Voyager will follow them in. It's a great idea, right? And Gedrick's like pretty good idea except we would like torpedoes on our ships too because we don't want to just be hanging our dicks out there. Yeah. I mean, I can say that because we're on all male species at this point. We want some torpedoes up in here. And Janeway is like, no, hard no. And Gedrick is like, fine, no deal. We want torpedoes or nothing.

And Janeway is like, fine, blow your shit up then. Blow our shit up. Yeah. I could do this any episode. Janeway does not need to get back to Earth bad enough that she's going to betray herself to these people. Yeah.

These people we barely know. And our suspiciously male. Goal is the, is like the military leader guy that has been thought out. What a bad name for a military leader too. You don't admire goal? I admire goal. I don't admire gole. I admire gole. I don't admire gole. Attention, vatwars citizens. We're about to take off.

Seven is feeling pretty good about this, but Nelix comes to her and is like, hey, so been looking into like old folk tales from my people and turns out vatw wire is a bad word for reasons that seem to be like all over the ancient folklore of my four pairs. Can you like frost reference that with any of the shit you know as a borg's and see if there's anything that you know can corroborate. This sneaking suspicion I have that these are actually bad people. I know what you're thinking, Seven. All of these folk tales sound like the name of metal bands, but get past that. Start digging into whether or not any of this stuff is true. Yeah.

I love the smash cut here because we're in the captain's office with the captain and Gedrin and he basically has some spleen in to do. Like, Seven and Neelix reported to the captain and the next scene is the result of that. And he's like, yeah, I guess we weren't all nice explorer types. Some of us were doing expanding into and murdering of local star system kind of shit. Our main computer did not delete the critical VADWAR theory files. We know all about you. It was 900 years ago. But I can't ignore history, Mr. Gedron.

And the story is almost exactly the opposite of what she'd heard, right? Yeah. It's that the VADWAR were the aggressors and everyone banded together to destroy them because of how they used their log flume. The VADWAR have been going around kind of in hushed tones conspiring with each other at this point. And Janeway sees their evil plan to steal the void you're coming from a fucking mile away. She's like, I didn't wake up yesterday, you did.

So often you get this A to B in a Star Trek episode where it's like you see the conspiracy happen, and then you're like, well, it's up to the captain to have that conspiracy drop down them, and then deal with it in a consequential way. But it is great to see Janeway get out ahead of it and see it before it happens. I thought this was awesome for Janeway and good for Chico today. Like Chico today is really advocating for like, we just got to keep our head on a swivel and watch these guys because, like, we're continuing to try and help them, but now we need to sort of start to think about how we change up some of the terms of this agreement.

And the first way they do is ask Gaul to deactivate the weapons on the ships that will not be participating in the surprise attack on the survive. I want one of those. Oh, is that one of those free cocktails? Yeah, it's a free cocktail. Go get it. Damn.

Now, I'm going to ride the bike after this. I can't do that. This fucking guy. I thought for a second, he would try to wiggle out of this request, but he blows it right back into Janeway. He's like, no, fuck that. We're arming our ships. And Janeway's like fine, we're rolling out without you. Yeah. I mean, he's not wrong. Webs is the key. Absolutely. We've got to have weps. So Janeway's like, all right, we got to go. Like, we, you know,

deal off and they're getting ready to head out and the bad war start attacking them. This is like so many other Star Trek episodes. You want to see these fighterships emerge from the hole in the ground. Yeah. Like, you just feel the bangers, you don't see them. Right.

And there's a bunch of them swarming at Voyager. What you do get, effects wise, is the Voyager takeoff scene. And this is really fun when you follow it through the ruins of the city and they're kind of dog fighting through it. Yeah, the van warships are really small. They're like probably individual fighters. So they're sort of attacking the Voyager

from the mosquitoes perspective. You sort of understand how formidable they must have been almost 900 years ago if even now enough of them could take on Voyager, right? Yeah, and like Voyager takes out a few, but there are so many ships that it's running the risk of overwhelming them. So, Janeway does all she can do, which is switch sides and starts to parlay with

the Tari guy and ask if he'd be willing to, you know, look the other way on them having some data about the log flumes and help them get rid of these fucking vadwar fools that are shooting their butts. You could see by this guy's expression that he's pretty rye for a Tariqai. Hmm. Yeah, I guess you can say that. This about face means everything, because by changing sides, things begin to look good strategically for the

vad war, even with this new alliance formed. Yeah. They have the numbers. Gedron makes a really interesting choice here, which goes to sort of corroborate the thing he was saying to Janeway. Like we're not all bad. This just was like, you know, the reputation of our people, but he decides to help Voyager get out of there.

So he and TuVac go back to the Star Trek caves to give, like, tactical information to the Tari. This is one of those Star Trek episodes that, like, breaks the geographical logic of things because, like, you know the ship took off. Yeah. And you know, we've beamed Tu valken this guy back to the surface. Yeah. With their shields up and also very far away.

I guess. And also, you can't burn a two valken this mission. No. What's two valk doing there? I don't know. Is he there to make sure that Gedrin does his side of the thing? That's sort of all I could come up with. Yeah.

Pretty soon, it's clear that the Tariya are getting the information and starting to drop bangers on the stature caves themselves. And these fools, these Vadwar fools are realizing that they have hit a dead end. They're stupid asshole plan to like reconquer the galaxy is slipping through their fingers like so much sand.

It's really backfired. There's some like fucking around with the impulse engines and sucking irradiated gas into the front of the nacelles shit going on on the Voyager. Yeah, it's not just about the deals that they can make with these species to leave the planet. It's that they actually have a problem with the ship. Yeah. So doing this business with the impulse engines makes escape even possible.

Right. And as they go to warp, they leave like they leave the space battle behind them in the rear view. It seems when they get to space, a bunch of VADWAR were able to make it into the log flume ride, which is disturbing because 50 something ships of these assholes may be people that they have to run into again in the future. Yep, it's not good. I mean, and as troubled as Janeway is by this, in her radio room, Seven shows up and she feels responsible for the whole thing. She hit the button on the hatch that let Gedra now and started this whole process.

And Janeways like, seven, you did make a mistake, but I feel that smelling that fart was punishment enough. And that's the end of the episode. Did you like this episode, Ben? You know, I'm really easy to get along with, most of the time. But I don't like bollocks, I don of the time, but I don't like bullets, I don't like threats, and I don't like you. I love this too. Yeah, definitely a couple of parts like not seeing the Vadoar ships coming out of the

hole, felt a little bit like they cut a corner. It felt bigger and like more fully realized than I think an episode like this could have been in previous iterations of Trek. I thought it was pretty well written. I think Gedren's a really interesting character and a really interesting puzzle for the Voyager crew to solve because he is more like them than the rest of his people. And so like I think that they kind of get a overly good first impression despite the fact that he isn't that sad about his wife looking like construction trash when they open her tube. Yeah, I mean, Geddren didn't kill his wife. I don't care.

Geddren didn't kill his wife. I don't care. But you need that to be true in order for his about face to feel real, right? He can't be all the way evil because in the end, he thinks he's saving the day. But then he gets smushed by a falling rock. Yeah. And it's clear that his great plan didn't really work

Didn't work all the way anyway because all those ships get into the hair. It sucks that like the worst of them got out you know Like if Gedron is the best of them like and yet like we're talking about genocide here, right? Like do you want to ride for the Vodwar losing utterly? At the end, like, is that a good ending to this story? No. But it's upsetting that like the most adaptable Vodwar are the ones that are like the worst of them, you know? Right. Yeah. I like the episode. It's a weird one. I mean, Voyager on the ground always seems to bring about an interesting series of events, you know? Yeah. Yeah. A Voyager on-ground episode

is a vibe. It sure is. You know what else is a vibe, Adam? It is our priority one in box. I always love going and visiting it. You want to head there now? I'm going to put myself on the ground in our priority one messages. Priority one message from Starfleet coming in on Secured Channel. Need a supplement on top. Yes, extra. The interest alone could be enough to buy this ship! Then our first priority one message is from Rachel, and it is to Addison. The message goes like this, happy one year anniversary, my dearest.

Woah, I am writing this before our wedding. But I have full faith that our love is like that of Gary and Bashir, Janeway and Coffee. Thank you for putting a smile on my face each and every day. I'm so excited to be spending a lifetime with you filled with adventure, laughter, D&D, and of course, trek. Oh. The requested date is the seventh, which would seem to mean that maybe the wedding is still ahead?

Is that the wedding date? I think this is the one year anniversary, so they presumably got married on the 7th in 2022. Wow. And we're like four days early for their anniversary, so... Amazing. Yeah, I hope Addison didn't get around to this episode of Greatest Gen until like a little bit later in the week,

and we're actually nailing it! Try to imagine! Ha ha ha! A bride on her wedding day. Knowing what you know about how many things a bride needs to do on their wedding day. Mm-hmm. Taking the time out to go to Maximumfund.org slash jumbo tribe. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Dora Xlash Jumbo, try it. Hahaha. Hahaha. Feeling out of priority one message. Yeah.

Just imagine that. That is the most romantic thing I can imagine. Addison, you better fucking knock it out the park with this bouquet on your first wedding anniversary, because Rachel really did it right. Rachel's cool as hell, but let me tell you something. The bridesmaids that permitted that to happen. Also extremely cool. Yeah, that's pretty good stuff. Adam our next priority one message is from babies 2. It's 2. She who is my wife. It goes like this. Happy birthday and or anniversary! Hmm, I love you so much and my nerd loves your nerd so much.

So as a special treat, here's where I hope Ben and Adam will do their current singing slash saying the theme song from Sesame Street. Nope, sorry. Sorry, baby, Stu. Sorry, sorry babies too. But you're fly in the sky. I can go twice as high. Oh fuck, I'm reading rainbow. God damn it. Song. I do not remember which PBS children's show this song goes to.

The only thing I do know is that these programs are made possible by viewers like me and the letter L. Wow, another anniversary or birthday maybe. Yeah, yeah, it seems like the birthday would be 4-11 and the anniversary would be 7-5. It would write on top of that anniversary date. So we did it again, right on time. Amazing. We're doing awesome here with the Jumbo Trons and if you want us to do awesome with your Jumbo Tron, head to max from fund.org slash jumbo-tron. And get one today.

Jumbo-tron, jumbo-tron, jumbo-tron. Go ahead and get the toilet. Hey Adam. What's up, Ben? Did you find yourself a drunk Shimoda? Go ahead, I'm home. Drunk Shimoda! Ben, this episode was nominated for an Emmy award

for outstanding hair styling in a series. Wow. And the only reason I can think that it was nominated was BLT's hair, right? Is that the only unusual hairstyle that we see? Because I don't feel like the Vennware have pretty intense hair. The Vennware hair isn't too exotic as Star Trek aliens go, right? I mean, it's kind of like a, it's like, what's that called that like French bun

that like goes kind of vertical style? Try to imagine you're the hair stylist on this show and you pick up the phone. It's the Emmy award committee. Oh yeah, calling from Stockholm at like 4 a.m. Congratulations. You've been nominated for an Emmy award committee. Oh, yeah, calling from Stockholm at like 4 a.m. Congratulations. You've been nominated for an Emmy award. Ben, whose hair styling do you think it's for?

You gotta assume BLT, right? I assume BLT. She looks great. The hairstylist for this episode is my drug Shimoda.

Yeah. Mine seven, just for opening the box, you know. You gotta be careful around those tubes. You do. Scan for fucking pathogens before you open it, right?

Also, I mean, Gedrin should have probably wiped the frost off of his wife's tube before they opened it, right? Yeah. Like, you don't just go straight to open. This is why there's a law about wiping the frost off of the tube. You know, interestingly, seven wipes the frost off of the panel. Yeah. There's that computer panel in the back of the tube, and she wipes the frost off that.

What do you, that's not where you wipe? No, no, you know what you do. And you wipe front to back. You do, you have to. You can experiment with other ways, but there's really only one way. There's only one way. Yeah, only one way to wipe on this show.

Adam, why don't you head to gach.biz slash game and find out what we will be wiping next episode. Well, I tell you about it. It's season six episode eight, one small step, a subspace anomaly leads to the discovery of a 21st century space shuttle lost on a mission to Mars. A space shuttle on this show? Lost on a mission to Mars. Fuck you Mars. Then the runabout at the game of buttholes,

the will of the caretaker, pulses comfortably, on square 50. What's out ahead you ask? Well on square 54 we've got a canar with Dermar episode. And on square 56 lies the caretaker and the caretaker square takes us to any square on the board. If I rolled a six, who knows what would happen then? Wow.

We could even land on a special square. Yeah, if I did that. We could land anywhere. You're required to learn as you play. Roll. All right, so with that being said, I'm going to roll the die. Ben, I've rolled a one-worn square 51. Shula! Did I win? Harvey. Those same special squares remain out ahead. And that's a regular old episode for you and me. Okay. All right. All right. Well, this has been a ton of fun, Adam.

Friends at the soda have learned how to wipe this episode. They didn't know already. Important new head cannon about the transporter system. Oh, I, I had forgotten about that. Like, I will never forget it now. Yeah, you can't un-recover this memory. This is, this is gonna be in the front of your mind for the rest of your life. If you have a strong feeling about that kind of humor, support it financially, maximumfund.org slash join.

So you make sure this show, this whole operation continues to operate. Yeah. That's how you say that. Mm-hmm. And if you don't, I don't know, leave a really bad review on Apple podcasts or something. How about new? I mean, we wish you wouldn't, but we would understand. Don't ever do that.

Wendy, if you can only delete one part of this episode, delete that. Keep all of the transporter ropes in. If that's all you have time to do. We got to thank Wendy pretty. The intrepid producer of this program who subjects her precious earholes to all of the garbage before it even goes to air and does a great job. She loves this shit. She loves it. She does such fucking great work and we really are lucky to have her.

We are also lucky to have the Card Daddy Bill Tilly who runs the social media account at greatest trek all over the internet. Got to thank Nick Dittmore who made our show art. Adam Ragusia, who made our original theme music on the model of dark material, who made the original Picard song. Hey, check out Adam Ragusia's podcast. It's fucking great. I listen every week. Every week. Okay, brings it.

Even when he talks about a band, I don't know anything about. I'll listen to that shit. Yeah. You have to. With that, we will be back at you next week with another great episode of Star Trek Voyager. An episode of the greatest generation Voyager that is probably also way off course.
