Howdy Sci-fi fans! Have we got a space thrill ride for you today! You were all absolutely right about this one - not only did we love it, but you were dead on about all the things we needed to know ahead of time to make the watch more enjoyable - being familiar with Original Trek, Comic cons, and general sci-fi tropes. I was surprised at how much we caught actually, but I bet we still missed a ton, so let us know what fun things we didn't recognize!

This is such a wonderful film! I'm a huge Star Trek fan and have The Original Series and TNG with TNG being my favorite. Thought you might be as well given the awesome Enterprise-D model on your shelf :) Some fun trivia: Sam Rockwell based his portrayal on Bill Paxton's performance in Aliens (1986). In particular, his elevated fear of being killed, and his mental collapse upon seeing a motion detector that shows their enemy closing in on them. Gwen DeMarco laments that her TV Guide interview was "six paragraphs of my boobs and how they fit into my suit." This actually happened to Jeri Ryan, who played Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager. Just after the crew arrives via the 'pods,' the Thermians appear without their appearance generators. When the captain asks "Who wants a tour?", Sigourney Weaver didn't know that 'Guy' was going to scream in terror like he did. You can see a very real reaction from her at that moment. The film proved quite popular with Star Trek fans. At the 2013 Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas, it received enough support in a Star Trek Film Ranking, and was included with the twelve Star Trek films that had been released at the time on the voting ballot. The fans at the convention ranked it the seventh best Star Trek film.

Sci-fi recs: Forbidden Planet (1956) Metropolis (1927) This is where it all started. You'll see Blade Runner, Dark City, The Matrix, Star Wars, all of it here. Incredible 4K version with great music on YT (channel name: "stuff channel") here (make sure to increase resolution to 2160p in settings): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s7zySrlE-c Also, classic Trek (top 10-15 episodes) and the 6 TOS movies

So, I thought I watched this reaction when you guys initially posted it, but I don't think I did. Something must have come up to distract me, and then I just forgot. You asked for all the fun references or jokes you may have missed. There are so many great ones, it's easier to leave them as I watch, and since editing comments means Patreon might eat them, I might end up leaving them in more than one. When Nesbit (Taggart, aka Tim Allen's character) walks into the bathroom, there are a row of guys using the urinals dressed as aliens. You only see the backs of them, but judging by their hair and outfits, it looks like they're meant to be a play of Klingons, especially from TNG and the later Star Trek spinoffs. Of course, they could be a play off another race from later in that series. I forget the name of the race, but I remember they played a game called Domjat. The episode had Q in it. Their hair is more accurate to them. When the one guy showed up (I didn't catch his name) Jordan, you commented something like, "There's the young guy." Yeah, he's likely meant to represent Wesley from TNG, but he could also be a play off of the much younger kid from Lost In Space. Wesley was a teenager, but LIS had a kid that looked like he was supposed to be twelve or something. When that same guy in this movie is shown at the convention, he's much younger than in present day, and he also looks about 12 or so, which means it could be a Lost In Space joke. It makes it funnier that the trope isn't isolated only to Star Trek. When they get to the planet to find those spheres, Sigourney Weaver's character makes a joke that Nesbit slept with every slave girl and moon princess on the show. This is clearly a joke directed at Kirk sleeping with so many women in Star Trek: TOS. In one episode of TOS, there is an Orion slave girl, and though I can't recall if Kirk actually sleeps with her or not, he is definitely shown to be attracted to her. In a later part of that scene, with all those cute little miners, there is a part where Nesbit has his shirt off as he's fighting the rock creature. There, he's deliberately made to look like Kirk does in several episodes of TOS where he fights shirtless. Right down to how sweaty and grimy he looks. He's a damn good play off of him.

I feel like I need to rewatch this now knowing all these extra details! It also makes me really want to see the Star Trek original series

I wanted to leave more, but I got tired. This is one of those movies that's almost more fun on rewatches, in part because of the payoffs and foreshadowing, but also because of the callbacks. There are callbacks in every scene, sometimes many in the same one.

Raven Dark

Oh, here's one I forgot to say at the time. When the aliens show up at Nesbit's door, I think you guys made a comment something like, "You can't just show up at his door." Leonard Nemoy (Spock) has talked about how, before the first season of TOS was even finished, he and his family already had fans showing up at their door. His daughter (or someone like that) talked about how people wanted to be invited in and everything. So the aliens showing up that way was likely meant to play with what really happened to cast members.

Maplenuts React

What!? I can't believe people would just show up, that's awful. And expecting to be invited in!

In the early 00s, when Galaxy Quest first came to DVD, I rented it. There was an additional language option, that if selected, allowed you to listen to the entire film in Thermian. (I laughed myself breathless). All my purchased movies are digital, I don’t have a Blue Ray player, so I’m not sure if there’s a Thermian dub still available …
