I still can't believe that you and Jon argued for so long.
Monday, May 11. 2009Podcast 17: It's A Twofer
[ Another summary by Joey, due to network outages afflicting Peter.] After two consecutive weeks of just Peter and myself, we decided to take the fate of the podcast in our own four hands and attempt something no podcast has ever done before - two guests AT THE SAME TIME! OK, so maybe someone else has actually done it before, but we were both very excited to welcome back the self-proclaimed 'Father' of Trek West 5, Peter's Friend Jon Madsen of J.R. watches Star Trek for the first time, as well as our favorite Deviant Artist, Anne's sister Katie. Of course, with two guests, we found twice as much to talk about, so the final tally for this episode is about 10 minutes shy of 3 hours.
This podcast covers episodes 21-24 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 3. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: More Things Joey Hates: Gene Roddenberry Star Trek:TNG and Flux Capacitors Holo-Addiction Jon proclaims himself the Father of TW5 More Things Joey Hates: The Mona Lisa Collections Joey and Jon Argue Vulcans, Vulcans, Vulcans Jon teaches us about the Ferengi and Vulcan written languages - follow the links to see examples Pursuing Women Peter reveals why he's still single Direct MP3 Download RSS Feed Subscribe Using iTunes Here are the ratings that we gave for each show: Hollow Pursuits: 41min 45sec

This was one of the more enjoyable podcasts, I must say. I thought it was interesting the discussion about Barkley. It made me wonder if people who have vivid imaginations have few friends? Or maybe only someone who escapes from their reality because they don't feel comfortable in it.
Regarding Barkley, I also wondered about adjusting or allowing others in our environment to be different. I think sometimes we are more tolerant of those we identify with, and maybe find ourselves less tolerant when they are more different? I find myself immediately turned off to some individuals and I must say I can't pinpoint why. And I think it turns out to be their communication delivery or I just don't understand where they're coming from. Yet I think one of the things that makes society so flavorful is the uniqueness that we all have. I enjoyed the statement that is similar to "Your past does not excuse current behavior." I agree with that, but I also feel that our past often contributes to current behavior. This might seem like I'm disagreeing with myself in some ways, but I think we are all required to have a minimum amount of decency and follow the law and other things that should make us all have a minimum code of behavior. Johnny Elbows on :
When a large sea-going vessel comes in to dock, it is not uncommon for the dock to send out a pilot to steer that ship in. The ship already has a pilot who navigated during the entire voyage, but the pilot sent out by the dock is familiar with the currents, obstacles, and issues of the port, so he takes over during the process of docking.
It seems to me that having a tactical officer would serve a similar purpose. The navigator knows how to get from point A to point B with maximum speed and efficiency. He knows the obstacles and issues associated with open space navigation. On the other hand, the tactical officer is trained in the psychology of war. He knows how to predict the actions of the enemy. He knows the capabilities and limitations of his ship and its weapons systems. Just as it makes sense for the pilot of a ship to turn the ship over to a docking pilot, it makes sense for the navigator to turn the ship over to a tactical officer during battle. |
