The Bots Master

[@Mal_Ah_Key]

I think it's nice Dr. Hiss isn't shunned by for his looks.

[@Lumber_jocks]

It's really progressive for the time actually.

[@CSGraves]

I think you mean 'hissss looksssssssss'

[@BrainfulContent]

My mum ordered the 3D glasses required to watch this show from TCC (the children's channel) for me and my sister. After my sister lost her pair at the Leopardstown West Wood swimming pool, she destroyed mine my placing them under a sofa cushion and jumping up and down on them.

[@DreadAnon]

What I’m hearing is that more television programs need sequences of Jonathan Frakes being trapped in a mind prison

[@crabbycat302]

Amen 🙏

[@AlmightyStove]

"So that's him a terrorist now"-- thank you, I will be saying this phrase to myself for the rest of my life

[@gearandalthefirst7027]

The US government when someone decides "genocide bad actually"

[@DeathInTheSnow]

12:27 - "But the body cloning machine got me thinking about the Star Trek Voyager episode[...]" Funny, the body cloning machine got _me_ thinking about what I would do with myself if I looked like _Lady Frenzy_ for a day...

[@LegoSkeleton]

Turning "haha it's so silly they never brought this up again" around into "Isn't it great they can just do thing for one episode without having to bring it up again" is a sentiment I can get behind.

[@crowman8905]

listening to breakbeat every waking moment has got my heart rate higher than drinking coffee, and I'm saving 5 bucks a day. Thanks Owen!

[@hogggyyyy]

thanks for dredging this this show up from the deepest darkest depths of my memory, where it's remained happily forgotten for 3 decades, owen

[@tituslucretiuscarus659]

Lost my job, both my grandpa and father died, got diagnosed with depression and my wife left with the kids, but thank fuck, Owen's still there. We're still here. Maybe I can keep going.

[@derbydali]

A show taking place in a civilisation run by dystopian giant tech conglomerate in 2025? Good thing our real life hasn't been heading into 2025 with that direction amirite fellas haha

[@machinegun7547]

remember when janeway had a person murdered because kes had a cry that she missed neelix, and then kes just broke up with neelix later anyway

[@Seandeclanpatrick]

You truly never fail to pick the most obscure topics possible Owen. Never change.

[@greenhowie]

Dr. Hiss is peak character design, he'd fit in perfectly with either the good or bad guys from Toxic Crusaders.

[@c6m]

That’s nice Owen, have a like on your video.

[@snapperfisch]

it's good that world leaders don't judge Dr. Hiss on his appearance, pity they don't judge him on his words and deeds though

[@godofzombi]

Never mind the cloning machine. ZZ has a full robotic army but it never gets used except for the one episode Blitzy is left in charge and she introduces the villains to the concept of overkill.

[@MattyStoked]

As a fellow lover of episodic TV, I just need to say I absolutely love both Darmok and The Post-modern Prometheus. Both are probably my favourite episodes of those particular shows!

[@SlabMangrave]

Me seeing the thumbnail for this video: Why is Harry Kim there? Is it because he got - yes it's because he got sucked into space, of course.

[@windbuster]

Man it’s old ‘vintage’ and pretty unknown cartoons like this that are so interesting

[@Coopersville]

"zipzoolanderzzforshortyouknowifightthecorpcuzimthebotsmaster" is a little ear worm that still plays in my head decades later. Just now realizing I don't remember what most of the characters looked like.

[@sleepawoken]

Owen if you're taking shots at DS9 we're gonna have a problem

[@FlamezOfGamez]

Those episode titles make it sound like this is a show designed for me.

[@wesleyackerman8211]

I had forgotten about this show but I certainly watched it when I was a kid, and no I didn't have the glasses either. I've always been a big fan of robots and this fueled that for sure.

[@ThisIsYourGodNow]

i used to love this show as a kid lol. lady frenzy shaped my tiny brain

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

Have you considered putting Laser Time segments in your videos and sending the glasses to Patrons only? You could call it Infinite Time.

[@SHINYREDBULLETS]

That ending had me in stitches :D

[@elderlygoose3667]

Miss the intro 🙃 love the content 😆

[@ThePermanentMoose]

couldn't pay attention to anything being said after seeing lady frenzy.

[@Undrave]

You don't need specifically their 3D glasses, you just need shades with one dark lens. It's called the Pulfrich Effect and it's not the only show to pull it off.

[@Gograpefruit]

Jesus, completely forgot about this until now.

[@aprilgwynn]

I feel like I still don't believe this was a real show

[@Skulll9000]

7:58 It seems like it could just be exploiting the Pulfrich Effect, in which case you might be able to just place a pair of sunglasses over one eye to see the 3D effect.

[@Zearo298]

top tier writing as always, Owen

[@Kolbatsu]

Yeah continuous blaring isn't uncommon especially in Saturday Morning cartoons, because the thought was that if there isn't constant sound, kids'll get bored and probably change the channel Edit: we do need episodic shows again. Theyre not "dead" but they're put aside in favor of serialized shows. Imma sound my age but I blame the bingewatch model essentially killing audiences' patience for episodic series. And the best episodes of Star Trek were always the episodic ones. Like all the weirdo horny episodes or the ones where Riker gets trapped in a mind prison. Thats what Star Trek Picard needs. Picard getting it one with an alien succubus while Riker gets trapped in a mind prison

[@kellanb810]

I liked Voyager too, and yeah the good episodes make up for the bad ones.

[@alexapdos]

I think you mentioned a character named "Genesix" but my poisoned mind heard "Genesis" and now I can't think about Gackt appearing in an episode to fuck everything up.

[@MAYOFORCE]

What if Reiker spent 20 years in the mind dungeon

[@snackplaylove]

I kinda miss serialised Who, but this makes me think that episodic is also fine. What a world we live in.

[@desotodesun3449]

We need a star trek infinite review.

[@denismortell5483]

This account is cracking, keep it up boss

[@KRBadonkadonk]

It might interest you to know that Star Trek Online has a whole storyline about how 'our' Harry was brought back to life as a Kobali after that episode you mentioned

[@Hugsloth]

i love when a licensed mmo does creative things with the established lore, like how The Matrix Online had factions based on the remnants of previous iterations of the Matrix universe.

[@Bushipunk]

There has to be some middle ground between, "We've spent three seasons not solving this one murder but at least we've got a lot of other people killed along the way," and, "We solve everything in under 22 minutes because all the characters are amnesiac sociopaths who'll get bored and wander off if it takes any longer." I can't imagine what it could be, though.

[@unthusiasm4541]

The funny thing is that so few people will know what this is - it's like you've plucked this out of an alternate reality

[@Groucho87]

You had said laser time in the virtual boy video. I just accepted it but I now know what you were referencing

[@danielcornwall1585]

Okay, good, I didn't hallucinate this.

[@incorrectbeans]

"Pretty int'resting, huh!"

[@greatbad5618]

Oh nice, that’s next year!

[@Interference22]

Oh god, that 3D gimmick is just the Pulfrich effect again, the same thing they did for the amazingly terrible Doctor Who: Dimensions in Time Children in Need special. Basically one eye in the glasses is darker than the other, making things that move side-to-side appear 3D. The result is, naturally, completely rubbish and the fact everything needs to be constantly in motion for the effect to work is entirely nauseating.

[@rained649]

You watched the whole thing? Jesus...

[@ArtOfDuane]

I just couldn't get into the new Star Trek stuff that Riker was in because they didn't put him in a mind prison for 20 minutes

[@crowofcrius]

What ever happened to your legendary jurassic park games video from mechagamezilla days?

[@jhostmusic]

The lack of music between 10:26 and 13:35 made me uncomfortable.

[@scotchbox]

BOTS MASTAH!

[@shaunhamilton1972]

i loved it

[@ubertuber3d]

Great channel sir I am posting a comment to demonstrate my appreciation.

[@prezfa]

Greatz Videoz Ozen The media of the 90s and early 2000s really wanted to make terrorism against corporations look cool I wonder what changed...

[@creechamop3593]

Couldn't agree more on monster of the week being superior to long boring serialised stuff

[@Venomous9]

this is why DS9 is the best Star Trek, because it's both!

[@TajMalice]

Epic funny 👍

[@carlosmarxismo1804]

In the far future of 2025 many things once thought impossible will be within our grasp.

[@rayner864]

real

[@IncredibleEdibleCake]

Why "The Bots Master" and not "The Bot Master"? The former is so much more awkward to say out loud while the latter also doubles as the title for a Dom.

[@Tertiary]

It was only the shelf of years that roused some distant memory of this show. Likely cuz I hated them

[@Rickbane01]

Us weebs would have been Blitzy fans.

[@chunkymilk]

10:16

[@zivzulander]

Just say no to free hardware upgrades 😑

[@irpwellyn]

you have thumbs like my girlfriend

[@DjynnFlyssa]

BOTS MASTER! A shame you didn't mention the truly awful intro theme rap, with lyrics such as "My name is Ninjzz / The battle hinges / The way I swing my swords, it really singes"
