So the Guardian is like, hey, by the way, you're here in this weird time nexus with me, so that's cool, but everything you know and understand as your existence has vanished entirely. And they're like, oh, fuck! right because the enterprise vanishes they call the enterprise it's not there like oh shit so then Kirk goes to Scotty is like look me and Spock by the way the best actors on this show so you guys can chill out

are going to go into this thing and we're going to make this last ditch effort to say everything by the way if this doesn't work wait a period of time and then you jump in your best guess and you try again and oh by the way

and if it doesn't work out for you just find a period of time and settle there at least you'll be safe you know and that's the move man when you're dealing with time travel hijinks when the stakes are too high and it looks like you're about to bite the big one just find a period of time

and settle in it's like Emmett L. Brown in 1885 I'm gonna go to the 1970s gonna fuck my way through all of San Francisco but you'd go crazy right because like you'd be living through let's say the 1990s or something.

You're just like, I know that Star Wars prequels are going to be terrible. They're going to be terrible. And no one's going to listen to you. They're going to think you're crazy. Right, but then you turn out, dude, like 20 years later to be totally right.

Yeah. You know, you're vindicated. But, you know, so many people on Star Trek are like scholars of world history. Sure. It's like having the ultimate knowledge of like Biff's fucking sports all that. Oh, totally.

I mean, you're betting on, you're betting on World Series left and right. Presidential. Yeah, Jim Boy, I went back in time, put all my money in Weezer. You see that gangly motherfucker with the glasses? Yeah, I'm putting all on him. Or maybe Bones would go back in time and like cover all the famous songs before they come out. I think that that fucking stupid as balls looking Danny Boyle movie.

Oh, what was that? It's coming out now. It's called Yesterday. Yeah, it's about a dude who wakes up. day and he's the only person on the planet that knows of the Beatles and then he starts like playing their tunes. Well, I'm the only person on the planet

that knows about Weezer and my sweater has come undone, I'll tell you that much. You know what, Jim Boy, I have the foresight as I create Weezer to stop after fucking Pinkerton if you understand what I'm saying, Jim Boy.

I'm not singing with no fucking Muppets, Jim Boy. I'm fucking with those Franks and Bean. or whatever that song. Covering fucking Tota. So they go back in time. It's 1930, a rather barbaric time in your planet's history, fuck face.

Yeah, and don't worry, we're about to show you how barbaric it is and also pretty barbaric for the 1960s as well. Because they immediately get stopped by, they try and find some clothes, they find some clothes hanging in a... Kirk's like stealing laundry. and like this like cop is like swinging a fucking nightstick

is like where are you going with that not really that but he looks like an Irish cop yeah he does got all the buttons and everything this is after Kirk is like he's caught talking shit yes is the idea is because Spock's like what if someone sees what we're doing and he's like all the people at this time period are too fucking stupid to catch me

because he turns around like I could steal the world oh by the way my friend is obviously Chinese. Man, oh man, is that something? The Chinese is one thing, which is bad. But then he's like, oh, and his ears were injured in a rice picking accident? And I'm like, were they?

E-pop. Wait, aren't you from like the 24th century, dude? Like, yeah, why would you say that? Well, I think because he's like, I'm going to play into their hatred of the Chinese. Oh, that's right. He's a scholar of world history. Chinese Exclusion Act. Look it up.

Exactly. My friend is a Satanist. Oh, that's in the 60s. Shit. Okay. All right, what if he's a Chinese Satanist? We are Chinese Satanist. Good night.

There's a great moment where like some some street urchin is like hassling Picard in this. Oh, right. Grabbs his finger and it's like destroying this. He's just squeezing, like, the tip of this dude's pinky or something. And this guy's like, I want to see Data do ultraviolence to this dude. Data unleashed on this. You know what?

All right, Moriata, you want the fucking hammer? Data destroy him. The old in-out, in-out. I'm singing in the rain, Mr. Data. All right, Moriarty. We didn't come to bargain. You see what's in this rolled-up blanket? It's a fucking hammer.

That's what I'm here for. gonna bust your fucking noggin open mister all right moriarty here it comes it's a huge ceramic dick get ready halla replicator let give me an oozy i'm fucking sick of this shit i want to relax Thank you.
