For the landmark 550th episode the Regular Joe's are again joined by Irregular Joes Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix. After an extremely far reaching round of Random Topics, the hosts discuss the just released Star Trek short, 765874 Unification, from OTOY studios in collaboration with the Roddenberry Archive. With callbacks to the unaired pilot, the original series, the Next Generation, the Kelvin Universe, Discovery, and Picard, the brief video is deeply routed in the Star Trek universe. For fans who were underwhelmed by Kirk's death in Star Trek: Generations, or disappointed by the brief reference to Spock's death off screen in Star Trek Beyond, unification provides some intensely satisfying closure for one of the greatest friendships in sci-fi lore. And, because Brian somehow always knows how to be at the right place at the right time, he shares his experience watching the premiere of the short alongside William Shatner. How's that for a phaser drop? There's also around of What's in the Box. Thanks for listening!
