Without Old Landru
Parody of U2's with or without you
By Rick Moyer
See the brown robes really thick
See the hollow big long sticks
And they serve Landru
Sulu underneath his charm
The population he does harm
And they serve, Landru
It's all about Landru
It's all about Landru
The Red hour comes and then they all
Lose control for Festival
And They serve Landru
It's all about Landru
It's all about Landru
They can't live
without Old Landru
Are you part of the body
Are you part of the body
Are you part
Are you part
Are you part of the body
Kirk he tries
And tricks Landru with his mind
Sparks they all fly
Nothing left of him...
And they blew Landru away
And they blew Landru away
And they blew
And they blew
And they blew Landru away
Was all about Landru
Was all about Landru
Beta Three without Ol Landru
Without old Landru
Woooo ooooooooooooo X3
It's all about Landru
It's all about Landru
They can't live
without Old Landru
Great song Rick! Thanks for doing another masterpiece for us! :)
almost 6 years? *gasp* wow!
Rico,
Just finished listening to the podcast, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was great to revisit this episode after so long. Like you, I tended to dismiss this one because it seemed a little silly to me, especially the "Your daddy can put them up, can he?" guy. Now, I want to revisit the episode.
Some of the elements brought out are classic TOS. Kirk outsmarting the computer is always one that puts a smile on my face. The concept of "Colossus (the Forbin Project)" — computer as father figure — machines that manage "perfect societies" is another recurring TOS story element.
You also brought up how McCoy does crazy really well, which gave me a good laugh. That's true. This episode and "City on the Edge of Forever" showcase that. It's like the genie let out of the bottle. McCoy's big emotions can easily be amplified into nutty (or nervous breakdown). I hope they pick up on that in the next Star Trek movie, or the next one. Karl Urban kind of played half-crazy in the shuttlecraft scene with Chris Pine. Or was that just anger? Oh wait, he was playing recently divorced. I can relate to that.

Yep, McCoy does crazy and cranky very well. And good catch about Urban in the shuttle scene in the 2009 film. Great little nod to classic Bones attitude.
Thanks you guys, you make me smile.

Hopefully, Urban will flesh out the character. McCoy was more than just a cranky complainer. He could exude that smooth Southern charm as well. He also made a great counselor or father confessor. That's a key element to the Kirk/McCoy relationship.
Catching up on my TSF's and had two episodes today. I don;t remember this episode and i know i have seen this so again a memory catch up. Great show Rico and great tune Rick. Brilliant Treks in sci fi again :D
Thanks Meds.
Didn't remember this episode. And for being one your not very fond of you had a lot of really good info about it. Which you normally do anyway on your podcast. And another great song by Rick and I feel safer knowing that Rick took care of those Zombies for us when he was younger! :biggrin
