@36:01 He was. They removed it from the story, but he was secretly high the whole movie.

[@BigGator5]

"Never give up. Never surrender." Fun Fact: Tim Allen admitted that he was quite star-struck when he met Sigourney Weaver, as he's a huge fan of Alien (1979). Allen even asked Weaver to sign some of his Alien Franchise memorabilia between takes. She ultimately did. Expanded Role Fact: Laliari is the first main role Missi Pyle landed in a feature film. Her role was expanded after the producers noticed Sigourney Weaver was the only female main character. Red Shirt Lives Fact: Despite frequent whining about his character Crewman Number Six being expendable and going to die, Guy Fleegman (Sam Rockwell) is the only crew member not to be shot and killed by Sarris (Robin Sachs) during his surprise assault towards the end.

And Sigourney Weaver insisted on her character being a "dumb blonde." The exact opposite or Ripley in Alien

[@jimhoyt5]

The reason they look kind of funny walking is because in reality they have multiple legs and arms, so their natural walk get distorted by their appearance generators. Probably why they seem to clap so weirdly as well.

[@Demigord]

guy doesn't just have a recurring role, he has a last name

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

The Thermians modeled their Society on the Galaxy Quest ‘historical Documents” rather than other shows because one, they too were an advanced space faring race, but were being wiped out due to their Naive and peaceful Nature. Secondly, because the Galaxy Quest ‘crew” represented teamwork and perseverance in the face of hardship, and a willingness to fight for what’s right. ‘Never Give up, Never Surender.” They represented everything the Thermians Aspired to be, so they modeled every aspect of their society on them.

[@bonnievonbraun6276]

Apparently, the casting director loved Enrico Colantoni's (Mathesar) "alien" audition so much, it was used to teach the entire Thermian cast how to move and speak.

[@AlcyoneReacts]

That's awesome, it makes it so much funnier

[@tempsitch5632]

Enrico is in a great little indie called The First 20 Million playing a silicon valley genius.

[@SaguaroBlossom]

And Missi Pyle had the idea to look up when asked to look for the shoe. They loved it so much they had all of them do it.

They received the radio waves for all TV being broadcast on our planet, but they found the "Galaxy Quest" "historical documents" the most interesting.

[@SaguaroBlossom]

Not only is this a fun movie with an interesting premise, It's also a touching homage, and a love letter to the fans. Even the creators and actors from Star Trek have said they love Galaxy Quest. JJ Abrams said it was "one of the best Star Trek movies ever made" a🎉🎉nd at a Star Trek convention it was voted 7th best Star Trek movie at a convention in 2013 (of 12 official movies + Galaxy Quest) George Takei even called it "a chillingly realistic documentary."

[@G1NZOU]

I always love Alan Rickman's delivery of "By Grabthar's Hammer", both with the deflated mood in front of the electronics store opening, and later when he truly finds meaning in the phrase saying it to someone who genuinely looked up to him.

[@AlcyoneReacts]

He's just such a good actor

[@tempsitch5632]

@22:26 The littlest alien there is Dian Bachar. He’s old college friends with Matt Stone & Trey Parker from South Park and he’s in their show and movies. He’s hilarious in Orgasmo and hysterical in BASEketball (a Zucker movie).

[@WilAdams]

An added layer of enjoyment can be found in watching this film IF you are away of Leonard Nimoy's first autobiography 'I AM NOT SPOCK'. In that book he exposed William Shatner's behavior on the set of the original TV series Star Trek. From Nimoy's account--verified by Mr. Sulu and a couple of other performers on the show at the time--Capt Kirk constantly believed that HE was the star of the show, and kept insisting that the writers re-do scenes giving all the lines that the other characters were supposed to speak so that he got the best ones. Also, Nimoy insisted in that book that he was not--in real life--SPOCK and he would like his fans to stop asking him to say 'Live Long and Prosper' which was his 'catch phrase'.

[@michaelestabrook2018]

one of the things about sci-fi is it opens the mind to possibilities-point them at it and they will figure it out.

[@michaelburke750]

“Why isn’t he in pants?” Because he is at home, maybe? Could just as well ask why you are peeping in on him with a camera… lol

[@AlcyoneReacts]

That's a fair point lol

[@rickardroach9075]

24:37 "Sure. They must be like 3 years old."

"Miners, not minors."

[@catsabotage3362]

I always figured that the Aliens just named things they used or discovered after the thing from the show it was closest to, rather than actually creating fictional tech that works.

[@michaelburke750]

They modeled their entire civilization on received transmissions of a television show… barring all inconsistencies, it’s only logical… lol

[@Otokichi786]

Or, they could have seen it as comic entertainment, like Lrrr, the ruler of Omicron Persei 8.;)

[@boristurovskiy351]

I'm a lifelong Star Trek fan and this is one of my all-time favorite movies. It's loved by Star Trek fans and actors alike:) A beautiful example of a parody which is both a love letter to the original, and a genuinely good sci-fi adventure. And yes, please check out the original Star Trek! 1 is a bit slow and 5 is a bit bad but the rest is great!

[@AlcyoneReacts]

I've been thinking for awhile I should check out Star Trek. I've never even seen a episode or anything like that.

[@Otokichi786]

@@AlcyoneReacts For The Original Series, you have two pilots to choose from. The "Too Cerebral" Jeffrey Hunter-helmed "The Cage" or "Where No Man Has Gone Before" with William Shatner facing a God.

[@Otokichi786]

"Galaxy Quest": The best "Star Trek" movie that Paramount didn't make.;) According to what I've read, Sigourney Weaver specified that her character be a Blonde. She felt her IQ dropping every time she wore the Blonde wig, which she began to wear off set...all the way home. Until we bought a Color TV in the late 1960's, I saw "Star Trek" on a Zenith black-and-white TV, and was unaware of "the Red Shirt" thing until later.

The most unrealistic part of this is the claim that the ship model was tiny. I’ve seen behind the scenes for sci-fi shows/movies, those models are huge.

[@tempsitch5632]

“Guy”, Sam Rockwell is well known now but he’s been great forever. See Safe Men for unique comedy or Lawn Dogs for drama.

The walk was suggested by an actor - they walk like Marionettes. With arms moving on the same side oas the leg, unlike normal walk. Also, The actor [laying Mathazar, suggested the voice for the aliens

[@AlcyoneReacts]

It def adds to it, makes them seem more alien lol

[@liabowden8526]

Since we cannot have the full OG cast (😭), it would be neat if they did a sort ofDocumentary Now! kind of thing, where the actors are different every time (I'm sure there's a better example of this, but I can't remember what it was) maybe just making cheesy episodes of the "historical documents" era of the show.

[@rfresa]

This cast is so amazing, and many of them were right at the beginning of their careers!

[@AlcyoneReacts]

I didn't even think of that!

[@Wanda711]

I liked the little detail of the food simulator creating meals for each crew member based on their place of birth. Commander Taggart gets steak that tastes like real Iowa beef, and coincidentally Captain Kirk said he came from Iowa, so they were giving Taggart a similar origin.

[@Demigord]

i do swear by Grabthar's Hammer

[@michaelfisher1395]

Supposedly the bathroom scene is based on an actual thing that happened to William Shatner at a convention. He was in the bathroom and overhead people ridiculing him and the other actors.

[@AlcyoneReacts]

That just sucks!! I've never seen any Star Trek BUT I do know that Shatner is The Man!!

[@Arsonist75205]

Their society was based on Andy Griffith and Leave it to Beaver.

Now you see why it's a cult classic 😊

[@Demigord]

my grandmother pretty much died laughing at "whoever wrote this episode should die!"

[@Missy-24]

Here I come with a suggestion of another movie that works well with its original material: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Some fans of the books don't like it, but many others, like me, like it a lot. Although the movie came out a couple of years after the writer's death, he was involved with the script. I enjoy it a lot and I'd really like to see it for the first time again. Watching someone else's first reaction to it is the best I can hope for.

[@AlcyoneReacts]

I love that movie!! There are soo many movies I wish I didn't already see, but Don't Panic there are plenty that I haven't seen

[@Missy-24]

@@AlcyoneReacts It's not often I find a reaction channel that doesn't do anything to annoy me, so I'll probably keep suggesting movies. I tried to stay on topic so far, and not just dump my list of movies I wish I saw for the first time again.
