A classic style show once again with a look at the TNG episode called “The Price” along with some other geek topics and news. I start off the show this week discussing two recent movies I have seen. The first was “Pacific Rim” which is a giant robot, battletech-style film fighting monsters from the deep. I thought the movie was fun, but I found a few too many cliche’s in the film for it to really be a great movie. The other film I enjoyed a bit more called, “R.I.P.D.” which is a fun movie about dead lawmen who have to come back down to Earth to capture the worst of the dead that have escaped back to Earth. Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds made a good team and the movie is a lot of fun. I also cover some of the recent Comic Con news coming out of San Diego this weekend. It looks like in the next Superman film, Batman will be making an appearance. Also, the next Avengers movies has an official title, “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” There is a lot of video over on Youtube of the various new trailers, panels and so forth from the Con – check it out! And I discuss the upcoming video release of “Star Trek Into Darkness” and a few other Trek topics too.
Then I move on to discussing the Trek episode for this cast called “The Price.” This season three episode is basically a love story for Deanna Troi along with a secondary story about the rights to a stable wormhole. I like this one and we get to see Troi not acting quite like her normal self too. This episode also sets up several things in Trek lore like the 4 quadrants to the galaxy along with travel by wormhole. I play the episode and comment as I watch it for you.
At the end this week, I do a quick review of the new Atlantean Conan sword I recently got off of eBay. This wasn’t super expensive, but it still looks and feels great in your hand. It’s all stainless steel and comes with a mounting plaque for the wall too. I’ve always wanted to pick up this classic sword as seen in the film. Crom would approve of this collectible! Anyway, that’s about all for this week. Come back next week when Ricky Moyer, Jedi Jeff and Bryan will be back to look at the alien ships of “Star Trek.” Take care until then and enjoy your week ahead.
