Those Sci-Fi Guys

The guys celebrate the recent Daylight Saving Time of Spring Forward by discussing their favorite time travel episodes of Sci-Fi and movies. Ironically, they run out of time and need a part 2.

The guys decide to talk about the debut of the Mandalorian Season 3. They note that the second season ended before their show even began. They talk about the beginning of the Season 1 and go through Mando’s journey that led him to the Season 3 premiere. Then they talk about their thoughts on the episode and what their expectations are for the season.

This is a special little episode that McKay had been wanting to explore where Sci-Fi writers use technology wrong or they don’t realize the true ramifications of the tech that is being used. The talk about how Gravity Plating makes Warp drive irrelevant, how Magneto is technically a god, and how the writers of Star Trek Into Darkness were extremely stupid in using “Cold Fusion” to freeze a volcano.

Hell has frozen over. Mack and DT talk about season 3 of Picard and the first episode. And Mack loves it! They talk about the things they liked, some criticism, but the welcome return of Riker and the conjecturing where the season is going to go from there.

DT and Mack remark how it’s Girl Scout Cookie season again and the unearthly appeal people have for them. After discussing the behavior of parents at youth sports and a secret room in DT’s house, the guys then talk about The Cousin Oliver Effect. In which certain sci-fi shows made late character additions and if they breathed new life into the franchise.

Mack opens the show with his opinion that Crocodile Dundee II was a perfect sequel. DT acknowledges he saw that movie in the theater. Then the guys delve into what upcoming in Sci-Fi for 2023 including Star Wars, Star Trek, and Marvel. They detail what they look forward to the most and the least

Mack opens the show with an unexpected loss in the sci-fi community. Then the guys talk about how Mack took Jr. to a doctor’s appointment and the unexpected process that was. DT talks about taking the family out for a nice little jaunt to a small book fair. Then they begin talking about Sci-Fi reboots and how That 90’s Show was the inspiration for this episode.

The guys review the first season of Bad Batch. Mack expresses his appreciation for it in moving the timeline forward and DT fills in a lot of the background behind the lore. They talk about what worked, what didn’t but walked away very satisfied with the season.

The guys continue into their discussion on the chronological development of the Klingons and production in DS9 where both guys agree they reached their pinnacle, how they kind of fell off in Voyager and were introduced to Earth in Enterprise. Then they give 5 minutes on how Discovery ruined them.

Mack finally acknowledges he survived the Atmospheric River… for now. DT discusses his rough football weekend. Then they dig into the chronology of the evolution or development of the Klingons in the Star Trek Universe. They start in the TOS era, go through the movies, and end with the TNG era. It opens things up for a Part 2 because these guys just aren’t efficient enough.
