God, I still get chills when he says that, you know — risk is our business, that's what this starship is all about.

There have been so many parodies of Shatner, William Shatner. The parodies are actually exactly what he really sounds like.

He's so good. He's so good. So, you know, we're going to be having the Hollywood red carpet premiere of the 60th anniversary uh episode at Moonshots Live. And uh he was the executive producer — working on getting him there, which would be incredible. Uh, so that was uh from season 2, episode 20 of the original series, called Return to Tomorrow. Uh, let's go around the horn here. Uh, Alex, I'm going to start with you.

Yeah. So maybe let me just begin with a preliminary statement that you will not find, I think, a bigger Star Trek fan uh among the Moonshot mates, but here we are 60 years on from the inception of Star Trek. I think Star Trek has a real problem. So I'm picking as my favorite original series episode, City on the Edge of Forever, which is one of only two original series episodes — maybe obvious — one of only two original series episodes that won the Hugo Award. For those who haven't seen it, it's a time travel episode. Kirk and McCoy and Spock go back in time and there's a closed timelike loop wherein World War II gets changed and the future of Earth inevitably is impacted, and there's a moral dilemma, as always with the original series. It was a morality play. But the reason why I chose that episode among all of the other episodes is because it's a closed timelike curve.

And I think Star Trek, 60 years on, has a real problem, which is that Star Trek isn't keeping up with the singularity. Star Trek had the Eugenics Wars — for those deep in Star Trek mythology, we were supposed to have the Eugenics Wars in the '90s. That didn't happen. We were supposed to have first contact in the TNG chronology, first contact with the Vulcans, on April 5th, 2063. I actually think if there's going to be a first open contact, it's going to be far earlier than 2063.

There's no singularity at all in the Star Trek chronology. Challenge me if you disagree. Star Trek is not keeping up with the times.

Literally, reality has outraced Star Trek. So, I picked this episode because I think Star Trek, in short, is going to need a lot more closed timelike curves where the future tech and science falls back into the past, in order to retcon a Star Trek mythology going forward that actually keeps up with the singularity herd. But it's the anniversary today, so let's not dump on Star Trek.
