New show is up now. I think this was easily our biggest Skype chat ever - 11 of us in total. Big thanks to everyone that joined in. Everyone had some great things to say and it was very interesting and fun! I know people will enjoy hearing it.

My reaction to this is odd!
I'm scrambling to download a new TSF podcast before work even though I actually took part in it live and have a fairly good memory of the conversation!
I'll listen again :)
Thanks Rico and all who joined in.
I find it's still fun to listen even if you were there too.
yeah, they always bring a smile to me as I'm out walking, even though I already know what is going to be said! :)
I found I actually missed some bits yesterday but I'm not sure how! Fun time :)
Chris brought up the fact I called "Nero" a god of the sea! I KNOW Nero was a Roman Cesar! I'm a history buff...why in the heck did I say that? Annnnnd this is why I edit like crazy on Anomaly. Sometimes we say stupid things and we must appear to be brilliant for marketing purposes. :D
I had fun too. I was glad Angela got to join the discussion. :)
I don't edit much Jen. It's more fun and "real" that way. I wondered a bit about that comment when it was said but I just kind of let it go. It was fun to have Angela with us too. She is quite "spunky" - hehe!

Spunky means something totally different here in the UK, LOL

I nearly said that on the podcast call.
...and Meds...leave it! ;)
Shortly after the show it dawned on me I blindly ran in Ricos trap.
Rico: "She wrote me she would only say three words..."
Me: "No, no, it was five words! ..."
Pwned. Damn. :)
It was a fun experience, I'd do it again! :)

And now I've learned my new word for today! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. ;)

I totally bought Nero god of the sea, besides knowing better. Seems I've listed you under 'authority'. :)
And it's great Angela was there, I really enjoy hearing from experts. :)

Is the site I look up the unusual stuff.
Well - for us and me, spunky means "full of spirit", "energetic", "says what's on their mind", etc. At least that's the way I meant it.
LOL! I don't even want to know what the Brits mean by it now. It seems .... naughty.

Wise move! But to be fair, we do understand the American meaning and took Rico's comment in that light.

Not at all.... But I'm afraid to call you any particular word or phrase now as our UK friends seem to have invented a whole new language since we crossed the ocean. ;)
Ha ha. Ah Shakespeare would be proud of us Brits. ;-)

I don't intend to decorate the whole forum with Orci quotes, but as we discussed it in the skype call:

QUESTION:
I understand it was a movie, but wasn't giving a 3rd year cadet a promotion to Captain (one rank below Rear Admiral) after one mission a little rushed and forced just to get Kirk in the captain's chair?
———————————–
Yes it would be if there were no other extenuating circumstances (like saving the world, or the recommendations of Spock Prime and Captain Pike.
People said the same about about a one term senator who jumped to the Presidency, (JFK, an inspiration for Kirk, as well as Obama).
Great show guys; lots of cool insights on the film. And I'm impressed that even with a group of participants so large, everything flowed together flawlessly. Y'all rock! :)

I know! I was shocked when I counted it up and realized we had 11 people with us. Everyone did great!
Wish I'd been there as this is the one very rare topic I could go on about for hours.
Still listening to it. Did anyone mention its success & wide appeal is due to its script? I think its script was far stronger than the rest of the movie. I thought the writing & story was super strong, and hard for the execution of the screenplay to live up to - which it did for the most part, but not always.
I think the script is what makes this movie appealing to the everyman (& woman).

I sort of mentioned the script in that they went back to the basics.
Another thing that I realized is the people got emotional about a character's death that we had actually never seen before. To me, that's some mighty fine writing.
Doesn't seem to be a link to the podcast from the front page. Just now found it here. Ah, now I can get my fix.
