Right. But then Tappao realizes or reveals that they have to fight to the death, which is the thing here. So they're fighting and fighting. Hilarious, we're kind of doing a wide shot of this fight. The guy who is William Shatner's stunt double looks almost exactly like a young Robin Williams. Yes, he kind of does. It's very awesome. It was very distracting when he started to free associate a little bit, you know?

That was weird. Yeah, I didn't appreciate the improv on this Star Trek fight. And they're really getting into it. I didn't know it's in the Land of the Elves. Oh, he's a delight. Those rainbow suspenders were of it. Again, a touch distract. Just a bit much.

At one point, like, Kirk goes down hard. this is after like the chest slicing and bones comes in and he's like all right now wait a minute your oxygen levels aren't like they are on earth and he's basically saying like Kirk is at a disadvantage and he's got a little hypo spray and he's like let me

just like give him this and it'll balance him out let me give him some HGH real quick now to pal when would a nice fella like myself lay a bet on this this right where could a young man such myself oh good uh to pow

while we're in betwixt rounds of the fight here, where's the concession stand? I need a drink. Got 16-ounce beers or those damn 10 ounces? Oh, yeah, I got a Georgia-style mint julep back there behind a chance. To pal, hold on here. I'm trying to order three mint juleps, which is how many are drinking and a sitting.

This guy says he can only sell me two? Only selling me as many as I can carry in a hand. To pal, he said it's after the third round. Can't sell me any alcohol. This is ridiculous. I'm an adult. I want a refund. And also, to pal, these juleps are in cubes.

I don't appreciate it. Southern gentlemen like myself, I used to drink his jup, not eat it. Your booze cubes here on Vulcan. I already stood for your nonsense national anthem. I got to ask for chicken fingers. I don't know what the fuck you served me. But so no, this is when, as Chris says, the next... You start with this really cool fucking thing.

They break. They're like, now the most deadly weapon of all. Straps. Just a couple of straps. We're just whipping these scarves around each other and tripping each other. They meet everybody. They spend a special time with Jordi, and it's like, oh, you know, you're blind. I'm deaf.

Right. You kind of understand what this is like. He's creeped out by data being a robot. Just one off scene of Jordy, like, going to Dr. Pulaski to check out his eyes that comes to nothing. Right. Never really mentioned again in the show. Oh, really? I thought that it was going to be like a thread that comes up later. Nope. Because she's like, there's an experimental procedure that, you know, it might kill you.

It might give you perfect sight. Yeah. It's like early days of laser eye surgery, I guess. She says that she's successfully. performed it twice before. It sounds like a crock of shit to me. I wouldn't trust this. Everybody forgets. Like 400,000 people got killed from Lysick

before it became so mainstream. Before then. People got it. They didn't know what was going to happen. True. Well, a lot of those just didn't take it. After a while, you know, after a while you think you got your vision fixed, dude. Then one day you're walking down the street and your eyeballs explode.

Well, that'd be a cool horror movie. Yeah. Oh, you get LASIC. You know what I mean? Right. Oh, wow. It's called 2020. It's, yeah, 2020. Oh, nice. But then, like, ghosts start fucking with you because you got LASIC. Oh, yep. Oh, and the people that got Jerry Orbach's eyes are also terrorized by his ghost.

Jesse O. Martin keeps coming to your house. You're like, hey, this is pretty cool. Yeah, cast one of the girls who's in, like, one of the popular CW shows in it. You've got it. It's done. A question, I think I know the answer, though. Like, once Jerry O'Bock's eyes are in another person, when they die, can you remove those eyes and reuse them again? probably fucking rotten from reattaching them.

I think you get once off. That's just rot town. I wouldn't want twice used eyes. It's better than known. That's true. Yeah. So Riva's like, let's go. Troy, you can come have dinner in my suite. That'll be pretty cool.

And you know what, dude? Here's the thing, Reva. It's totally fine to have dinner with Troy. That's, you're right. But you've got to bring the whole thing. The whole gang. The game is like, intellect and harmony, you relax. Horny, you're with me.

Come on, Horny. The wingman, dude. It's just like when you're on a first date, like slapping your condom on the table. I'm just going to leave this here for a while. No big deal. Just hanging out. There it is.
