I have listened to it. No interview with Pattie. I appreciate what Phil has done in this regard.

EDIT: There are only 36 episodes. The last one was his three-part with Garrett Wang (delightful person to meet). I hope that Phil plans to continue this if he can find anyone to speak with in the future. That last episode was April 2024.

Their name is Morn.

Are the sequels worth watching?

Jesus Christ. Charlie Kelly is smarter than him.

I’m a stringy ensign meat pie.

There is a Dax joke someone could make here.

Is Kock off the table?

My understanding was they had heard TNG referred to as what saved the franchise but didn’t agree with that sentiment. They were trying to argue (with no citation, just pure anger) that the TOS cast saved themselves.

At some point the conversation shifted towards complaints about modern conventions (I should have said I overheard this at STLV). They complained about the modern pricing and seating arrangements we have today. That lead them to mention the year the convention hall named the vendor’s room after Roddenberry. This seemed to upset the person even more and say that it was a disgrace that anyone let the TNG cast attend the convention that following year. Possibly I missed some context that explained why they felt so adamantly negative about TNG. All I could say was that the opinion being given seemed to ignore the fact that Roddenberry created that series. If it was anything else, I would understand. This I was having trouble understanding.

EDIT: The cherry on top was this person was wearing a Kirk heartthrob shirt.

EDIT 2: I understand there are people who only care about TOS and have no interest in the rest of the franchise. I’ve met those people. I respect that. But this person seems very upset with the fact that the franchise exist beyond TOS.

I don’t know.

I encountered a person who said after Roddenberry died, the entire TNG cast should have been banned from attending STLV.

EDIT: I should clarify that the topic of discussion I overheard was unclear to me. One complaint is that TNG saved the franchise, when according to the aggrieved, it was always TOS.

I’ve met people who are offended by the notion that anything exist after STVI.

Has he been tested for schizophrenia? I am legitimately curious because he has written books about these people.
