Star Trek Minute by Minute
[14] The Worst Bet of All Time // Giant Florida Spider
Two hermanos talk about time travel again and theorize on first contact again again again, debate the fine points of terraforming, give an exclusive insight into the pod's production, run through the story of Tiffany the psycho killer/charming scientist, and look at the USS Enterprise from an intersectional point of view. Albert loses an inhuman amount of money.
[Notes]
It took me about 30 days more than I was planning to edit this episode. Wish I could say I was swamped down in work, but really I was just enjoying the not-working-on-anything. At this pace it would take us one too many decades to get through this movie, so I can basically promise that we won't take this long of a break again. We're hoping to get to a weekly or almost-weekly schedule for the foreseeable future, but that's a hope and not a promise. Also, Jesper still hasn't made a bluesky account, so who's really the slow one? ~ Albert

26:50||Season 3, Ep. 13Two single men discuss a corporeal hologram for most of an episode, and air vents and shirt colors for the rest of it, all without ever saying the words "yeah", "no", or "so".In case you're curious, Jesper says it 9 times more than Albert but we're gonna go over that in the next episode.12. [26] Deck 16 // Is Data a Data Guy?
22:25||Season 3, Ep. 12Two kinsmen discuss just how much the Borg seem to be dominating, question Data's computer skills and the general way computers seem to function in this universe. That's most of it actually, and we do it in two longer segments. So, you know, if you don't like computers this might be the one to skip. On the other hand if you love computers, this might be the one to replay and replay. See, I was always told to create things hoping that people will love it, instead of worrying that people will hate it. I guess I never realised what they meant until now.11.
