PATREON EXCLUSIVE SEGMENT - Expectations for the Star Trek Movies
Added 2023-07-29 21:12:08 +0000 UTCThis is the Patreon exclusive segment for our upcoming video recapping Star Trek The Animated Series
Typically we would release this extra segment the same day as the YouTube video, but because our uncut reaction to The Motion Picture will be posted tomorrow, it makes sense for this to be posted first.
Thank you for being a Patron & enjoy!

He's a truly chilling murderer. One of the very few times that Columbo lost his temper and got truly angry.

2023-08-03 14:37:10 +0000 UTCNimoy’s episode of Columbo is one of the best ever. He and Peter Falk act the hell out of it.
Rich Wagener
2023-08-01 22:07:21 +0000 UTCAbsolutely. Another series he was in twice!

2023-08-01 17:18:54 +0000 UTCLets not forget his Twilight Zone appearance a real classic

2023-08-01 15:45:38 +0000 UTCIf you want more Shatner, he was the murderer in two Columbo episodes, "Fade In To Murder" in 1976 (also featuring a Walter Koenig cameo) and "Butterfly In Shades Of Grey" in .94. Leonard Nimoy was a sinister surgeon in "A Stitch In Crime" in '73.

2023-07-31 15:45:52 +0000 UTCJoined patreon cause it turns out the movie reactions were gonna be the ones to get me. Course, now I gotta brute force my way through the uncut final Animated Series episodes first. Lotta interesting pre-show thoughts you guys had. I'm excited for your reactions to some things, am wondering about your disappointment or confusion about other things and I am so glad you opted for the director's cut as it is more the "true" version of the film than the theatrical cut which was so rushed in editing that the film was still wet as it was driven to the premiere. And ironically for being such a rushed cut, it was also terribly slow. Y'lnow, that good ol' bad Trek pacing, lol.

2023-07-30 10:43:19 +0000 UTCPrior to TAS being accepted as basically canon again, most sources (particularly the "Star Trek Fact Files") placed TMP in 2271 which is even worse lol. That's one of my main reasons for accepting TAS as canon, it adds a bit more of a buffer between TOS and TMP.

2023-07-30 07:44:35 +0000 UTCIf you want to see old Shatner act check out Boston Legal, he played Denny Crane one of the senior partners at a law firm who was probably senile and definitely weird and was mostly kept around as a mascot. It's a legal drama by David E. Kelley and starts out relatively serious but quickly settles into a dramedy style with absurd humor and insane characters.

2023-07-30 07:33:48 +0000 UTCThe six TOS crew movies have a reset after The Motion Picture, so if you didn't enjoy the first, you will find the next three quite different. Nicholas Meyer was very important in the remaining TOS films, either as a writer/director, or just a writer. You might find the frequent changes of composer either keeps things fresh musically, or leads to a lack of overall musical identity for the films. You will be surprised by some of the actors appearing in the films.

2023-07-30 06:02:54 +0000 UTCI checked the directors cut on Amazon prime here in Germany and it seems to be the 4k Version you watched. I'll use that to sync up :)
Andreas Schmitt
2023-07-30 05:57:57 +0000 UTCThe pacing of all the remaining movies is great so don't worry, even if you had issues with it in TMP

2023-07-30 05:54:39 +0000 UTCAs a joke, Shatner made a dramatic entrance on the Enterprise bridge during filming of one of the movies decked out in his TJ Hooker cop uniform.
Mark Chrisco
2023-07-30 04:18:28 +0000 UTCIn the early 80's Shatner did a cop show called TJ Hooker, in the 90's he hosted the show Rescue 911 where there would be dramatic reenactment of real 911 calls & in the mid 90's created & was in a short lived show called Tek Wars based on books he wrote of the same name
Retro Tom
2023-07-30 04:00:35 +0000 UTCI loved TJ Hooker, a Cop series starring Shatner in the 80's. So much fun. I'm excited to hear your honest reactions to each film, they're all very different with good and bad elements to each.

2023-07-30 03:36:18 +0000 UTCShatner was great in Miss Congeniality. He also has an album. He was quite eloquent when commenting on going to space on Blue Origin. His fellow passengers were busying themselves trying to catch Skittles with their mouths and he came back looking like he'd seen a ghost. Space looked like death to him. I'm going to post a link to his comments but I'm not sure if it will take. If it doesn't. please search "shatner variety Blue Origin". https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/william-shatner-space-boldly-go-excerpt-1235395113/

2023-07-30 02:14:34 +0000 UTCThere is one bit of Trek movie lore that gets almost lost in the weeds as a result of the way they were produced. Obviously they're set after the series. But they made this weird decision with TMP to set it only a couple years after the series ended. It's not said exactly in the movie, but if i remember right its supposedly taking place in "2273" with TOS taking palce between 2267 and 2269, but then when they made the second one a couple years later, they acknowledge the huge 15 year time gap between the 2nd film's events and TOS. It's an oddity, partially a result of trying to course correct between TMP and TWOK I imagine. So you have the first movie made nearly a decade after TOS ended set only a couple years after the original five year mission came to an end in universe... and then the second movie made just two years later set 15 years after TOS. Also I agree 100% about it being called "The Motion Picture." It gives nothing away and has a certain classy charm to it. TMP is definitely from a different era than the later films. I'm really excited for the TMP reaction. I haven't watched it in awhile, not since the new DC version first came out.

2023-07-30 00:20:31 +0000 UTCOne more item which not many mention is the OVERTURE before the film starts. This is, to my knowledge, the LAST HOLLYWOOD MOVIE which contains an orchestral overture before the picture starts, and it is glorious! Bask in that when you play it, as that feature is the last of its kind in movie history.
Rhett Coates
2023-07-29 23:15:30 +0000 UTCInteresting thoughts and comments from you 2. Your expectations remind me of what Star Trek fans felt when TMP was first released in theaters. We were so giddy with anticipation of what it would look and feel like after a 10-year break from TOS. Since you already have seen TMP as of posting this video, I am even more curious to hear your comments about it after you see it. I hope you brewed a lot of coffee for this first one.
Collin Freeman
2023-07-29 22:22:52 +0000 UTCThe LOVE and the HOPE from the characters, the actors who portrayed them, and all those who created those shows in every TV production craft, which was evident in both TOS and TAS, is indeed present in the movies, and is AMPLIFIED to maximum effect in all of the Star Trek films. I can't wait to see your reactions to TMP. The first time I saw it was on a 50-ft. screen in downtown Williamsburg, Va. - right downtown in the historic district of that small city - and my dad, sitting beside me, said - after seeing it - he just couldn't get over how real the starship appeared in the film. HAHA ...... you'll see! Your ST movie viewing adventure is just beginning.
Rhett Coates
2023-07-29 22:21:49 +0000 UTCWith TMP it is always interesting to think about what if they had stuck with the plan of making this the season premiere of an original series reboot, which is what this story started as. Who knows how the the new series would have worked out. Of course if it had we probably wouldn’t have had TNG

2023-07-29 22:01:52 +0000 UTCI think I'm playing with different ways I can watch the movie along with you.
Dale Gonyea
2023-07-29 22:00:10 +0000 UTCWe've heard arguments for both versions of TWOK so we will probably run a poll this week.

2023-07-29 21:52:38 +0000 UTCFor the movies? Yes.

Josh (Target Audience)
2023-07-29 21:51:07 +0000 UTCI wouldn't say this if I didn't know you'd already watch TMP - but boy that "I hope the pacing is good!" comment aged like milk 😂 The Director's Edition fixes some of the pacing problems in the original, but it's more a 1960s style Sci-Fi movie that's about spectacle (like 2001 A Space Odyssey) than Star Wars. Not to worry, II - VI pick up the pace. Definitely watch the Theatrical version of Star Trek II for pacing. The director's cut has a few nice additional scenes, but they break the flow in a few places where the theatrical version keeps it moving.
Bret Kay
2023-07-29 21:40:22 +0000 UTCAre you still going to do a YouTube edited version?
Dale Gonyea
2023-07-29 21:37:26 +0000 UTCIs there a way to stream the Patreon account? I'm trying to figure it out
Dale Gonyea
2023-07-29 21:36:51 +0000 UTCWell there is a small reason. Without giving anything away it involves the 6th film
Dale Gonyea
2023-07-29 21:35:46 +0000 UTC…and here we go
Gregory
2023-07-29 21:35:30 +0000 UTCI feel like you guys need a big disclaimer before watching TMP. But when I was 10 in '79 we had no disclaimer. There was only the poster that prepped us. And that's it.
Michael Nemo
2023-07-29 21:35:28 +0000 UTCAs the six movies take place decades before TNG--hardly a spoiler--why not watch all six?
Mateo Latosa
2023-07-29 21:24:34 +0000 UTCYou don't want Kirk getting bullied at his butcher job, Obi-Wan style?!? Who wouldn't want that! lol Nostalgia for this movie is always HUGE for me. I grew up when TOS and TAS were all there were, and the first time I saw an ad for this movie, on the back of an Avengers comic (because the movie producers were marketing GENIUSES) I was so shocked and so ready.
