We’re throwing ourselves through The Time Tunnel as Casual Trek decides to travel back to the past and to the future in a discussion about Time Travel. Kirk, Spock and Erickson (who is THE worst) break history and Spock have to fix it in “Yesteryear,” Janeway and Paris have to dress up in Burger King Uniforms when they travel back in time a day in “Time and Again,” and La’an and *A* Kirk try out poutine and Chess hustle in Toronto in “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.”
Timecodes:
0:14:38 – TAS: Yesteryear
0:37:17 – VOY: Time and Again
1:07:10 – SNW: Tomorrow And Tomorrow And Tomorrow
Talking Points include: We never know anything about The Time Tunnel, David McCallum’s The Invisible Man Fleshsuit, Roger Corman’s ‘The Terror,’ The Monkees’ movie- Head, 90s Direct to Video Movies, Shin Kamen Rider and all the excitement that entailed, Miles’ Mum’s past as a teeny bopper, Stevem Segal, Sarek is still the worst father in all of Trek, He-Man fashion and Godzilla’s sound effects, the cavalier use of the Guardian of Forever, no-one cares about Erickson, how the shorter run time of The Animated Series means we have to rush through some pacing issues, the Grandfather Paradox, what to do when you meet your younger self, Charlie tried to make both Long Hair and Fetch happen, giving our younger self some good music, Miles thought Cotton Eyed Joe was a meme only, 4Chan, the podcast Inform, Educate, Entertain, the terrible outfits that look like Burger King uniforms, the Prime Directive, does traveling back a day count as time travel? How protesters are seen in pop culture in the 90s, child death and endangerment, why isn’t time travel a course in Starfleet Academy, how double-dating with siblings is weird and neither of us like the idea, how Voyager completely didn’t go in a way Miles found potentially interest way back in episode 1 of the show. Tom Paris, Leave that Child Bride Alone! Time travel episodes of Red Dwarf. How Mornington Crescent made one of Miles’ university tutors unfriend him on Facebook. The best Shakespeare quotes for future episodes of Star Trek, how Canada has been used for everything, sliding timescales both in Star Trek and the Marvel Comics and how the Time War in Doctor Who ended up causing it’s own problem, how Strange New Worlds reacts to Time Travel much differently from TOS.
PEDANTS CORNER: Nothing to be Pedantic about this week, if you see something we missed, let us know!
NEXT TIME: We get a Guest-Star in Celeste as we talk about the Trills.
