622. Escape from the Multicurse: Star Trek (2009)
🕑 Added 2023-08-28 13:00:10 +0000 UTC
Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing.
This week we discuss 2009’s Star Trek.

I think Michael has Tapestry wrong. The lesson isn't that he needs to improve his negotiation skills. It's almost the opposite of that. That brush with death taught Picard to seize every moment. Blue-shirt Picard is the play-it-safe Picard. By comparison, the Picard we know *is* rad Picard.

The Orville actually does a really good episode about this. A crewmate gets stuck back in time and when they go to save him they overshoot by 10 years. Then have to decide if it is okay to go back further and erase his 10 years of happiness on earth by picking him up right away.

I rewound it like 5 times when he mentions the brain thinking I had missed a part before moving on and realizing it was the bit.

I don’t know if it’s on your guys list of movies, but Turtles Forever is a TMNT movie where the 2003 incarnation of the cartoon meets the 80/90’s version and I really enjoyed it, I think it’s worth doing an episode on.

This had the most amazing reveal as to why Swaim was the asshole, and the most amazing sign off. Please do that sign off on every episode. Fantastic.
