Gary the Hate Camel presents a podcast with Kirk, Handy and Boom:

Guests: Stratalorian (9), ocmsrzr, Tolstoy, itmaybeokay (45)

Topics Discussed:

0:27 - First order of business is...how Handy makes coffee. Also ocm is late to the SNW party.

4:24 - Handy is still making coffee. Also war on S34? Screenshotting and revisionist history?

10:37 - War in STFC is funner when your enemby takes it personally. Plus they show their true colors.

13:45 - Too much emotional investment in STFC?

19:40 - Does it matter, ultimately, why war was declared? And don't just boot a player immediately for causing war!

24:40 - XBox live lobby is NOT the bar to which we are trying to lower ourselves to.

28:23 - The rejection of reality, and self-righteousness.

33:24 - Sometimes people just need a bad guy to dislike.

37:10 - More gamers need to play sports to understand than an opponent need not be an ideological conflict.

40:09 - In conclusion, DARK is the worst and everyone should hate them.

40:59 - On to regular Star Trek talk! Why the hard-on for the Gorn in Strange New Worlds?

45:55 - Gorn, the one alien that didn't get turned on by Kirk, apparently.

47:29 - Why did Kirk not know anything about the Gorn given how big an impact they are having in SNW? Just like why when Kirk ran into Khan did Spock (who served with La'an) not mention how dangerous augments are?

52:02 - Did, uh, did you get my voicemail about the Gorn?

54:41 - Why, in Star Trek, are starships so easy to hijack? Lock the damn door! Noonien Singh, Noonien Soong, names are hard! And put on a damn seatbelt!

58:51 - Discovery isn't unpopular? No accounting for taste, I suppose...

1:00:29 - Pike is the greatest captain of all time, according to Ocm.

1:02:04 - How is Starfleet SO bad at shooting phasers accurately? Pointing is hard! And flashlights are harder.

1:06:16 - The real costs of the Treaty of Algernon.

1:09:56 - The proud naval tradition of mutiny! The reason most are generally unarmed on a ship.

1:11:31 - SNW fairy tale episode was a lot of fun!

1:13:53 - Audience participation! Seriously, come join us, slackers.

1:15:40 - Latest Orville episode with some gender identity crisis. Solid episode, but many feel the first season episode covered it better.

1:26:16 - Wrapping up Orville talk, still a good show absolutely worth watching.

1:27:13 - StrangeKirk leaves to write erotic fan fiction of Spock and Nurse Chapel.

1:27:53 - For All Mankind is possibly a good show to watch?

And remember...spread the hate!
