I always love elseworlds when Sal talks trek. Having Jason on was brilliant, he knows his trek and how to love and laugh at it. A great conversation between you guys, I think you highlighted the positives and negatives of most iterations of Star Trek. Thanks for all you guys do!

[@pianobypc1031]

"I feel young" is from the end of ST2 Wrath of Khan. He was next to Carol Marcus, but Bones asks him how he feels and he says "I feel young."

This was such a surprise episode, I just love Star Trek talk. I have a soft spot for 5 as well. As a kid we had a taped VHS with three movies on it. It was Star Trek 5, Asterix vs Julius Caesar and Masters of the Universe. I watched that tape so many times I could quote every movie by heart.

[@jakecurran6811]

Never been into Star Trek, but the way Sal describes the infectious camaraderie is the exact thing that hooked me on X-Men seeing the first movies as a kid, and i gotta admit its the best sell ive ever heard for Star Trek

[@monstersinthecity]

next generation is quite good. Not for marathoning but picking random episodes since everything gets resolved in 40 minutes. There's barely any continuity except for certain departures in the cast

[@jakecurran6811]

@@monstersinthecity too bad they took it off netflix 😭

[@ethanrichmond3992]

This was one of the most fun live chats to be in during streaming. More Trek episodes!!!

[@Vicksage16]

BIG YES to a Bond episode! As a fellow Dalton Bond fan, I would love to hear you guys talk about any and all Bond flicks!

[@kemmdog4444]

Sal,I appreciate this episode topic.🫡

[@codybryner2122]

I will say as a man in his mid to late 20’s it was the JJ Abrams movies that got me into Star Trek and where I watch the new stuff now as it comes out

[@jdan4752]

2:01 was my exact response when my then girlfriend, now wife was trying to get me to watch Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Stargate. Almost exactly the same response, and the same end result. Love them all now. Probably even a bigger fan than she is at this point. Lol

[@joedee9811]

YES DO A BOND EPISODE! I don’t have much familiarity with Trek other then watching a few episodes of TNG when I was a kid because the host of Reading Rainbows was on the show lol. But that said I loved watching this convo, it was engaging enough even for non trekkies like me. Would love to watch Sal and guests talking about more random movies and non comic stuff!

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

I watched some of the Star Trek movies because of this channel. So far, I get the hype.

[@trevingsly8050]

YES! Ive listened to you and Ethan's elseworlds about star trek a few times, excited to hear you and Jason's thoughts on the movies!

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

I'm not a starwars fan but the Vaders quest episode is one of the funniest and I didnt even understand half the shit that was going on.

[@Codeman1930]

I get why people don’t like Nemesis, but I saw it as a kid on dvd with my grandfather and I loved(and still love) it.

[@Tim_Beitel]

1:12:31 Seth Macfarlane was on a couple episodes of Enterprise

[@BrogiNaric]

A James Bond list would be great.

[@beebaa5946]

I don't konw anything of Star Trek and i didn't get half the refrences but this was a REALLY FUN episode!! :D Please do more and YES to Bond!

[@brianadkins3880]

STAR TREK II:THE WRATH OF KHAN, IV:THE VOYAGE HOME, ST:TNG:FIRST CONTACT are the best ones. Honaorable mention to ST VI:THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY. The 3 Kelvin timeline ones are fun too. Have been told that the initial pitch for what would end up being the last TNG movie, NEMESIS, was to do a "Dark Mirror" movie but it was shot down by Patrick Stewart and maybe a couple of others? It's too bad because who didn't wan to see the TNG crew play evil versions of themselves? lol However, there have been novels and comic books that did stories set in the evil universe, so go check 'em out if you want!

[@flywheelshyster]

great episode, wanted to show support for the new things, just imagine I did it live

[@sandywest4977]

I start after the Wrath of Khan and work my way down. That movie is so good that they remade it twice😎😎

[@ianbruno237]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO A QUANTUM LEAP EPISODE it’s such a cool show

[@davidpledger9842]

Go for Bond

[@flywheelshyster]

sorry i missed it live, busy day at work last few actually. gonna sound weird but i'm not much a fan of TOS show but their movies are my favorite while TNG is my favorite for tv. i guess not weird sal just said the same thing kinda getting pulled in through the original movies. I even like number 5 "I need my pain!" is one of my favorite lines to quote. the first act is so bad I know but I like the final act alot. the bad guy realizes his err and kinda saves the day. its different. but my favorite movie might be Undiscovered Country, I like christopher plummer's Klingon warrior and the bones and kirk in prison and figuring themselves out the situation. so good. I do like the TNG movies too though lol despite the very accurate criticims from mike and plinket of RLM. I still like the schlock of first contact, i love picard's freak out even though its out of character. it's my second favorite

[@sandywest4977]

I need one

[@alexsanchez4289]

Jason da goat

[@Iwoply]

1:01:10 wait. people don't like ryker!!!

[@raistlinmajere5550]

Can we please get the Little Shop Of Horrors episode

[@crunson2000]

I think you guys forgot about the DS9 ep where Vash comes back thru the wormhole after being in the Gamma Quadrant with Q for something like 2 years. And "Its a Fake!" is from "In The Pale Moonlight" on DS9, when Sisko has to lie to the Romulans to get them in the Dominion War on the side of the Federation. DS9 is my fav Star Trek...

[@Israel_hans]

Woah wait! Quantum leap is returning.Can we have Sliders as well please.

[@rhysholdaway]

0h looking forward to watching this one... Easy no. 1. Khaaan!!!

[@jackrucinsky6205]

Cool video.

[@JackSmith-lv7cp]

These are quite the Star Trek opinions. More power to you guys, I won’t yuck your yum. I would however rank TOS higher than TNG for the kitsch factor and City on the Edge of Forever alone. Movie wise, 2 is untouchable, but I also love all three of the Abrams produced films.

[@batsight1]

bonds?

[@flywheelshyster]

omg i feel so vindicated, no way in hell is 3 better than 5! it goes 6 or 4, 2, 5, 1, 3 objectively so

[@sandywest4977]

Sal if you can watch Strange New Worlds. Pike is what Kirk would be now

[@canuckbucks]

Can't believe no one seems bright enough to call ST4 Save The Whales what it is, a fish out of water story. Ratta-tat. Describes and expands for discussion. C'mon you guys..

[@comicpopreturns]

Whales are mammals.

[@canuckbucks]

@@comicpopreturns touche!

[@jeremyharrison2842]

If you guys think 3 is borderline unwatchable see 1 one day

[@ineptgamer3814]

Given how much you purportedly love TNG, I find it odd that you criticise their films. As other far more qualified reviewers have already stated, Picard having an emotional moment in private in Generations makes him human, not weak. His attitude towards the Borg in First Contact is perfectly understandable given his history with them. As much as I hated Lily when she was first brought on the Enterprise, without her to challenge Picard's authority and obstinance, all hope could have been lost. On the subject of the Kelvin Timeline, from what I've heard, Star Trek Beyond is actually the very first of all the Trek films where the crew truly go "Where No-One Has Gone Before".

[@comicpopreturns]

You've been a fan for a very long time, so I'm really surprised to see this kind of close-minded approach to our usual acerbic approach to something we love. Star Trek must mean a lot to you, to give you this sort of reaction. Thanks for watching anyway!

[@ineptgamer3814]

@@comicpopreturns After reading over my comment again the first sentence does seem a little aggressive, but my original intention was instead observational. I have been a fan for a long time and still watch and like every single video you put up because you're both entertaining & educational. You can be very cynical at times, but it's all part of the fun, so I apologise if I seemed confrontational before. My bad. Keep up the awesome work...!
