SB66 92 – Mailbag




Starbase 66 show

Summary: Once again chaos reigns on the Starbase as the crew open the mailbag. Show notes: Written to the Starbase lately? And by "lately," we mean since...oh, around February of this year? Then this might be your lucky week! That's right, the Starbase crew finally receive all those subspace communications that our listeners have been sending us. Seems that Chuck in the Mailroom (second cousin once removed of Dave in the Brig) was accidentally rerouting communiques to the wrong place! So if you've received a response from us recently, ignore it. Turns out, someone named "Kiki Velour" was getting our messages and responding to them. Don't worry, though. The Admiral sent the Bajoran militia after Kiki and all is well again. Chuck, however, might appreciate being brought back in from his...accidental spacing. Pre-topic tangential musings this week include news on Star Trek 2: The Tribble Shit Strikes Back and that fabled 50 hours of filming (http://www.nbcwashington.com/blogs/popcornbiz/George-Lucas-Does-NOT-Have-50-Hours-of-Star-Wars-TV-in-the-Can-122876484.html) for the Star Wars television show. Kennedy mentions Kevin Smith's Bionic Man comic is now available and Ro mentions that the second season of the Lindsey Wagner Bionic Woman show is now on DVD. Then, somehow, this comes up: And, yes, I do believe Sandra Bullock's character calls Wagner's character "Julie" toward the end of this scene. Believe it or not, the crew are then able to segue perfectly from Bionic Bullock to Nana Visitor's upcoming appearance on Torchwood, then to more Game of Thrones talk, followed up by Kennedy and the Admiral discussing a potential future Superman book club discussion (Ro missed this portion of the show while she was mixing up a fresh Dark and Stormy). She, did, however, return in time to hear about this: All she can say is...Wonder Woman isn't blond. Jeri Ryan, however, is. And her show, Body of Proof, has been picked up for a second season. To celebrate, here's a random Seven of Nine photo. Obviously, the Borg never had to take phaser training.

(http://www.trekcore.com/) Smallville is over, Darren Aronofsky really should do that Batman movie of his, the Admiral reviewed Pirates 4 for Simply Read, Kennedy still isn't convinced that The Green Lantern isn't going to suck but he and Ro are totally digging the chatter about X-Men: First Class...and finally! Finally, they dive into the mailbag. But you're just going to have to listen to hear about that part of the show...
