The Hearse (1980)

My rating: 5/10

In Star Trek, random pipes on the starship sets are often labeled "GNDN", which stands for "goes nowhere, does nothing". This movie reminds me of those.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode 9 Easter Eggs & References

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This Star Trek: Lower Decks article contains spoilers for Episode 9. You can read our review here.

If you started watching new Star Trek in the past ten years, that means your introduction to the franchise might have been the J.J. Abrams reboot films. From 2005 to 2017, there wasn’t any new Trek on TV, making the movies the only representatives of new stories set in the Final Frontier. This was also true for a big chunk of the 80s, before The Next Generation debuted in 1987. Arguably, without the success of the Trek films — either in the ‘80s or in the ‘00s — subsequent renaissances of Trek on TV wouldn’t have been possible. The latest episode Star Trek: Lower Decks is fully aware of this fact, and in episode 9 of season 1 — “Crisis Point” — the show tips its hat to the larger-than-life cinematic voyages of Starfleet. 

Along the way, there are references to all 13 Star Trek feature films, at least two versions of Star Trek that were never made, and one iconic shout-out to Aliens. Here’s all the Easter eggs and references we caught in Lower Decks episode 9, “Crisis Point.”

They’re eating those guys!

The lizard aliens Mariner is trying to liberate seem to be oppressed by an alien that looks suspiciously like an Antican. In the TNG episode “Lonely Among Us,” the Anticans were self-described carnivores who kind of looked like dogs. In that episode, the Anticans were rivals with a reptilian-like species called the Selay. These lizard people don’t look like the Selay, but the reference seems clear. 

This is the ‘80s!

Mariner complains about how she doesn’t need therapy because “this is the eighties!” She’s right! Lower Decks takes place in 2380 and depending on how much time has passed in Season 1, we might be in 2381. This also seems like a reference to the fact that even though we think of TNG as a ‘90s show, it debuted in 1987. 

Mariner’s therapist is Paul F. Tompkins

The bird-like therapist (maybe an Aurelian?) is played by Paul F. Tompkins. In our universe, Tompkins is the co-host of the current official Star Trek Podcast; The Pod Directive, along with Tawny Newsome, the voice of Becket Mariner. 

Da Vinci on the Holodeck

When Mariner enters the holodeck, Tendi, Boimler, and Rutherford are all shooting skeet with Leonardo da Vinci. This references da Vinci’s appearances as a holodeck character on Star Trek: Voyager, as played by Jonathan Rhys-Davies. However, this is also, possibly a reference to an unused script idea for a TNG feature film that was never made. Because this entire episode is about movie-versions of Trek, it seems possible that this is a slight nod to a script called Star Trek: Renaissance, which was developed shortly before First Contact became the second TNG film. In that unfilmed script, Data would have traveled back in time and become da Vinci’s apprentice. Really!

Boimler’s simulated crew

Boimler creating an entire holographic version of the Cerritos crew has several precedents, but the most on-the-nose episode being reference is probably the Voyager episode “Worst Case Scenario.” In that one, Tuvok created a holonovel that simulated a situation in which the Maquis tried to retake the USS Voyager. The simulation even meant that Tom Paris encountered his holographic self at one point, which is exactly what happens with Mariner later in the episode. 

Opening credits

The opening credits to Mariner’s “movie,” are mostly reminiscent of the opening credits to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, although the warping streaks behind the letters recall a brief title style used by The Next Generation during the season 5. The way the letters are flying past the Lower Deckers might reference the opening credits to the original Christopher Reeve-starring Superman film from 1978.

“You were kind of a Xon, to be honest”

Mariner says that in her movie, Boimler would be “kind of a Xon,” and that he might not make the final cut. This references David Gautreaux’s Vulcan character Xon, from the unmade ‘70s series Star Trek Phase II. Xon was intended as a kind of replacement for Spock because, at that time, it was unclear if Leonard Nimoy would return for the role. David Gautreaux does appear in Star Trek: The Motion Picture as a human named Commander Branch. 

Artistic license

When the Cerritos is sent to track down a mysterious imposter starship, Boimler says “If this was actually happening, they’d send the Enterprise, but you know, artistic license.” This references the Enterprise itself, obviously, but also the idea that in several Trek movies, the Enterprise is bizarrely the only ship available to respond to a distress call or strange situation. In The Wrath of Khan, the Enterprise is sent on a dangerous mission involving a top-secret project. In Generations, the Enterprise-B is the “only ship in range” to assist refugee ships caught in an energy ribbon. In both cases, it feels odd that the Enterprise is the only ship that can help out, but you know, artistic license. 

The long approach via shuttlecraft

Think it took a long time for the shuttlecraft to land on the Cerritos? This is an extended joke that references the loooong wordless scene in The Motion Picture in which Kirk and Scotty lovingly stare at the newly refitted Enterprise until, eventually, docking and getting on the ship. In TMP,  the reason why Kirk and Scotty make the long approach via shuttlecraft (rather than just beaming over) is that the transporters aren’t actually working. But, in subsequent Treks, from TNG’s “All Good Things…” to “Caretaker” in Voyager, people tend to take shuttles to get onto big starships, even if it makes zero sense. Perhaps the only scene like this that makes actual sense (other than TMP) was in the first episode of Enterprise. In 2151, the transporters weren’t reliable! 

Lens flare

The bridge of the Cerritos is bathed in lens flare, referencing the extensive use of this camera technique in the J.J Abrams-directed, 2009 Star Trek reboot film. 

Warp Me!

Captain Freeman saying “Warp Me!” references her workshopping a catchphrase in the earlier Lower Decks episode, “Envoys.” In that episode, she wondered if “It’s Warp Time!” was a good thing to say before ordering the ship into warp.

The “movie” warp speed effect

When the Cerritos jumps into warp, the effect is way more bombastic than on the show. This references the warping effect in Star Trek Into Darkness, but also the rainbow warp speed effect from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

“Our revels now are ended”

As Vindicta, Mariner says “Hell is empty and the devils are here” and also, “Our revels now are ended.” Ransom asks, “Is she quoting The Tempest?” The answer is yes, which not only references The Tempest by William Shakespeare but also the fact that General Chang (Christopher Plummer) said “Our revels now are ended, Kirk!” as he was attacking the Enterprise in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. More recently, Picard quoted The Tempest during Data’s “death” in the season finale of Star Trek: Picard, “Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2.”

Mariner’s energy weapon 

The super-destructive phaser used by Vindicta/Mariner has a similar vaporizing effect as lasers used in the TNG “As Loud as a Whisper.” 

The pah-wraiths and Jax’s giant phaser

In the Cerritos bar, Jax says “When you get to hell, tell the pah-wraiths that Jax sent you; special delivery from Bajor!” The pah-wraiths are the “evil” versions of the Bajorian prophets, which first appeared in the DS9 episode “The Assignment.” Jax’s giant phaser seems to be a reference to a huge weapon Guinan busted-out in the bar in the TNG episode “Night Terrors.” The design of this phaser rifle also seems a lot like one of the giant weapons used by Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch) in Star Trek Into Darkness.

The Pirates Orions

Tendi pushes back against the stereotype that all Orions are pirates and slavers. The Orions were first established in TOS episodes “The Cage,” and “Whom Gods Destroy,” and later in the TAS episode “The Pirates of Orion.” It wasn’t until the Enterprise episode “Bound” when it was revealed that certain Orion “slaves” were actually manipulating their “masters” to create an illusion of who has the real power. Tendi isn’t the first Orion we’ve seen serving in Starfleet — Uhura’s roommate Galia (Rachel Nichols) Star Trek 2009 was Orion — but it’s never been fully explained the relationship between the Orions and the Federation. In TOS, TAS and in the Short Treks episode “The Escape Artist,” we get the general idea that every aspect of Orion society is connected to crime and pirating. Tendi points out this isn’t true, and that some Orions haven’t been pirates for “over five years!” So, it sounds like some kind of Orion reform happened in 2375!

The destruction of the Cerritos 

When the Cerritos burns up in the atmosphere of the planet, the effect is similar to the way the Enterprise burned up in the atmosphere of the Genesis planet in Star Trek III: The Search For Spock. But, when the saucer crashes on the planet’s surface, that references the saucer crash of the Enterprise-D in Star Trek: Generations. The Enterprise’s saucer also crashes on the surface of a planet in Star Trek Beyond.

Weird movie beaming

Rutherford says he uses a “a rapid repeating transport sequence” to beam the entire crew to safety. Billups is utterly confused as to how this is possible, and Rutherford says “No, it’s a movie you can beam whatever- you can do all sorts of beaming stuff in a movie!” This references several times that beaming tech in Trek film has been downright miraculous, as opposed to the slightly more reasonable beaming in TV series. In Star Trek: Generation, Scotty is able to beam 47 people off of one ship with a touch of a button. In Star Trek (2009) Spock helps Kirk and Scotty beam from a planet and onto a moving ship traveling at warp. In Star Trek Beyond, Scotty converts a cargo transporter so it can beam up dozens of people at the same time. In The Voyage Home the crew beam up some humpback whales. You get it.

Get off my mom, you bitch!

Holographic Mariner’s battlecry against Vindicta is not a Trek reference! This line is a reference to the climax of Alien in which Ripley said “Get away from her, you bitch!”

Toby Targ on Halloween

Mariner apparently dressed as “Toby the Targ” when she was a kid for Halloween. A targ is a type of Klingon pet that kind of looks like a dog crossed with a pig. The educational children’s character “Toby the Targ,” comes from Voyager. B’Elanna Torres owned a plush Toby the Targ, and the Doctor was familiar with the publisher of the “Toby the Targ ” stories, Broht & Forrester.

Rickety catwalk

Throughout the episode Mariner is obsessed with having a fight on a “rickety catwalk.” This probably references the ending of Star Trek: Generations, in which Kirk and Picard fight Dr. Soren on a series of rickety catwalks. But, Riker and his duplicate, Thomas Riker, also have a big confrontation on a rickety catwalk in the TNG episode “Second Chances.”

Do you like turtle necks or just standard uniforms?

Boimler absent-mindedly asks Captain Freeman if she likes “turtlenecks or just standard uniforms.” This seems to indicate that the DS9-style turtleneck uniforms might still be in service in some parts of Starfleet in 2380. Either that, or Boimler is wishing those uniforms could make a comeback.

Mariner is buried in rocks

Captain Freeman buries the body of the holographic Mariner in a strange grave made of rocks. This references the ending of Star Trek; Generations, where Picard buries Kirk in the exact same way. Why did Picard not wait to have Kirk’s body taken back to a starship? Why would Freeman have her daughter buried on a random planet? It’s a movie! Don’t ask questions!

Vindicta’s return

Before being shot by da Vinci, Vindicta rises out of a photon torpedo tube. This references the ending of The Wrath of Khan, which shows that Spock’s casket landed on the Genesis Planet. During the filming of the The Wrath, this scene was actually filmed at the last minute, and was overseen by Robert Sallin because director Nicholas Meyer was opposed to hinting that Spock was still alive. In other words, the photon torpedo casket was a small retcon inside of The Wrath of Khan, which is why it’s fitting to have it as the coda in this episode. Just when you think it’s over — somebody’s gonna rise from the dead. 

Da Vinci shooting Vindicta with a shotgun could be reference to the very first episode of Enterprise — “Broken Bow” — when a farmer shoots a Klingon with a shotgun in the first scene.

Signatures at the end 

At the very end, all four of the Lower Deckers sign their names in spacey blue ink across a starfield. This references the ending of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country in which all seven cast members of the original series sign their names over the ending credits. This concept is interestingly used for the ending of Avengers: Endgame, probably because Marvel president Kevin Feige is a self-professed Star Trek fan. So, is this a reference to the TOS crew and the Avengers? It’s an episode of Lower Decks, so it seems like you can totally have it both ways.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Star Trek: Lower Decks will air its Season 1 finale next Thursday on October 8.

The Hearse * (1980, Trish Van Devere, Joseph Cotten, David Gautreaux) - Classic Movie Review 9952

The Hearse * (1980, Trish Van Devere, Joseph Cotten, David Gautreaux) – Classic Movie Review 9952

Director George Bowers’s 1980 film The Hearse stars Trish Van Devere as San Francisco schoolteacher Jane Hardy, who for the summer moves into an old house inherited from her deceased devil worshipper aunt in the rural town of Blackford, and is frightened by the forces of darkness.

Jane experiences supernatural occurrences, including witnessing apparitions of her aunt and a ghostly black hearse…

Time for Friday Reads! Here’s what we’re working on:

Arts Editor Tom Cole: I’m reading Tim Gautreaux’s recent collection of short stories, Signals. He’s such a great writer.  Just finished one called “Radio Magic” about a guy who wants to be famous and an elderly comedienne who remembers her late son (a radio repairman) saying that sound never ends -- that it keeps going out to the stars. Of course we all know that in space “no one can hear you scream,” but it’s still kind of neat to think that all of our work is sailing out toward infinity.

NPR Executive Editor Edith Chapin: Janesville: An American Story  by Amy Goldstein

NPR Founding Mother Susan Stamberg: Outline by Rachel Cusk

Blogger Colin Dwyer: Back, at long last, in Knausgaardland. Settling into an ARC of Autumn with joy.

Book critic Annalisa Quinn: I'm reading David Sedaris' Theft by Finding: Diaries for a review next week, plus The Handmaid's Tale for my book club.

Your turn!

Blu-ray Review: The Hearse

Like so many other low budget horror movies from the era, 1980′s The Hearse apes on several popular trends of the time. At its core, the movie is a haunted house chiller in the same vein as The Amityville Horror and Burnt Offerings, albeit on a much smaller budget. It also incorporates slasher elements borrowed from Halloween, along with dashes of Gothic horror, satanic panic, and killer car action.

Struggling with personal issues, Jane (Trish Van Devere, The Changeling) is eager to escape to a small town where she has inherited a house from her recently-deceased aunt. The locals are anything but charming; they become instantly cold toward Jane when they learn where she's staying. The only two people who pay her any mind are Paul (Perry Lang, Jennifer 8), an enthusiastic young handyman, and Tom (David Gautreaux, Star Trek: The Motion Picture), the dark and mysterious type.

While the two men clamor for Jane's attention with romantic intent, she's subjected to a variety of strange incidents. She's the victim of a presumed break in; she's plagued by vivid nightmares; a hearse driven by a creepy, mustachioed man (Dominic Barto, Shaft) runs her off the road; she learns that her aunt dabbled in the occult. Are the locals playing tricks on Jane, or is she really in a house haunted by Satan himself?

The Hearse director George Bowers (Private Resort) went on to make a name for himself as an editor on such films as From Hell and A League of Their Own, which is ironic considering how clumsy his pacing is here. Although released in 1980, Bowers and writer William Bleich (The Midnight Hour) carry over the slow and melodramatic sensibilities of the 1970s.

Not without its merits, The Hearse offers a couple of genuinely creepy moments - most notably: a long, suspenseful, point-of-view tracking shot seemingly inspired by the opening of Halloween - and a rather effective, if repetitive, score by Webster Lewis (Beat Street). It's also fun to see old Hollywood star Joseph Cotten (Citizen Kane) pop up in one of his final roles; he plays a lawyer who believes he's the rightful owner of Jane's property.

The Hearse makes its high definition debut in a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack from Vinegar Syndrome, newly restored in 2K from the original 35mm negative. The discs include a trailer, TV spot, and still gallery, but the real highlight is a new interview with Gautreaux. The actor spends a good chunk of the 20-minute interview discussing sex scenes. More entertaining than the movie itself, it's impossible to top the quote, "Epic fornication, cunnilingus, the whole nine yards."

The Hearse is available now on Blu-ray/DVD via Vinegar Syndrome.

New Royals ownership group includes familiar names such as KC native and actor Eric Stonestreet

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On the same day the Kansas City Royals introduced the franchise’s controlling owner local businessman John Sherman during a news conference at Kauffman Stadium Tuesday, they also released the list of everyone in the ownership group that also owns a potion of the franchise.

Actor and Kansas City native Eric Stonestreet, who is known for consistently supporting the Royals is on that lengthy list.

The others include:

Brooks Sherman Knothole Sports, LLC Paul Edgerley Co-Founder/Managing Director VantEdge Partners Bill Gautreaux Managing Partner, MLP Holdings Carl Hughes Hughes Sports, LLC Terry Matlack Co-Founder/Managing Director, VantEdge Partners PJM Baseball, LLC The Dunn Family and JE Dunn The Lockton Family Michael Haverty The Michael and Marlys Haverty Family Seventh Inning Stretch, LP Peter and Veronica Mallouk President, Creative Planning Rob Kaplan Business Leader/Venture Philanthropist PlayBallKC LLC Alan Atterbury, Blue Note, LLC J.B. Hebenstreit, Don Wagner Mariner Kemper UMB Financial Corporation, along w/the Kemper Family Kent McCarthy President and Founder, Jayhawk Capital Management Jay A. Pack President, Pack Family Partnership Dan Dees Co-Head of Investment Banking, Goldman Sachs Mark Demetree Chairman, MCD Investments LLC

Last week MLB comissioner Rob Manfred confirmed league owners unanimously approved the sale of the Kansas City Royals to local businessman John Sherman and these co-investors.

The ownership group will be the third owner of the Royals since they were formed in 1969 when Ewing Kauffman brought the team back to KC.

In August David Glass released the following statement after news broke of the sale. It said, in part: “The decision to sell the Royals was difficult for our family. Our goal, which I firmly believe we’ve achieved, was to have someone local, who truly loved the game of baseball and who would be a great steward for this franchise going forward.”

“In John Sherman we have found everything we were looking for in taking ownership of this franchise.” Read Glass’ full statement below.

“I am enormously grateful to David and the Glass Family for this extraordinary opportunity,” Sherman said, “and am humbled by the chance to team up with a distinguished group of local investors to carry forward and build on this rich Kansas City Royals legacy.”

“Our goal will be threefold: to compete for a championship on behalf of our fans; to honor their passion, their experience and their unwavering commitment; and to carry their hopes and dreams forward in this great Kansas City region we all love — for decades to come.”

  Glass purchased the Royals in 2000 for $96 million. USA Today reports he sold the club for $1 billion though the Royals have not confirmed that.

Lower Decks Just Retconned Xon, Star Trek’s ’70s Faux-Spock

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This article contains spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode 9.

Lower Decks has made its most obscure Star Trek joke yet. Unquestionably, when Mariner drops the name “Xon” in Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode 9, “Crisis Point,” only a fraction of the Trekkie population will truly get it. And that’s okay because this joke not only cuts deep, but it also might have brought a very specific Vulcan back from pseudo-canon purgatory. Want to know who the hell Xon is and why Mariner referenced him in connection with a fake Star Trek movie? Read on!

When Mariner tells Boimler that she didn’t think he was going to “make the final cut’ of her holodeck movie, she points out that she considered his role in the movie as “kind of a Xon.” When Boimler says “Who’s Xon?” Mariner responds, “Exactly!”

Yes, that’s right. A lot of Trekkies have never heard of Xon, and that’s for a very good reason: Xon is a Star Trek character who never actually appeared in a Star Trek movie or TV series, but, at one point, he very much was going to be a major character in a rebooted Trek TV series called Star Trek: Phase II. This character was real enough to have been cast, too. If you look around the internet, you can even find photos of Xon rocking a gold TOS command uniform. He’s a Vulcan with a feathery, dreamy ‘70s haircut that feels closer to Apollo from the 1978 Battlestar Galactica or your boy Luke Skywalker in A New Hope. Although Xon was a Vulcan, he was definitely not Spock.

But why Xon? Or more importantly how Xon? The answer is pretty easy. In 1977, Paramount, Gene Roddenberry, and most of the TOS cast were in the planning stages of doing a TV series generally known as Star Trek II or Star Trek: Phase II. This sequel series would have been set aboard the refit USS Enterprise, under the command of Captain James T. Kirk, but with no Spock. Leonard Nimoy declined to be in the series for various reasons. In his second memoir, I Am Spock, Nimoy says that Spock’s role on the show felt more like a few cameos. In that book, Nimoy theorized that it was possible he was being offered a diminished role because his first book, I Am Not Spock, gave everyone the impression he didn’t really want to be associated with the role anymore. He also felt like it was kind of an insult. Either way, he said no. And so, Roddenberry cooked-up a Spock replacement: Xon.

Xon was to be played by actor David Gautreaux, who did several screen tests in costume, and in full Vulcan makeup. Unlike Spock, who was all about repressing his emotions, the idea behind Xon was that he’d be more curious about human emotions because he was fully Vulcan. In this way, Xon predicted the story arcs for Data, Seven of Nine, and T’Pol. But, of course, Xon himself never actually appeared in any version of Star Trek on screen. When Phase II was transformed into Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Leonard Nimoy agreed to return as Spock and the character of Xon was eliminated. David Gautreaux was given a small role as a human officer named Commander Branch, who, in the movie, is the guy at Epsilon station giving Starfleet intel about V’Ger. You might remember him as the guy who said the oh-so-famous line, “That’s in Klingon boundaries. Who are they fighting?” Yes, this is the person who nearly replaced Spock. That’s Xon.

So, outside of a funny reference, does Lower Decks actually add anything to the story of Xon? Well, maybe! If we consider Lower Decks to be canon — which is pretty easy to do — then how does Mariner know who Xon is? The simple answer is that, at some point in Starfleet history, Xon was a real person. A directory placard in the Starfleet Academy set in The Wrath of Khan lists the offices for a Captain Xon, which seems to indicate that, even before Lower Decks, Xon was canon, but in the background. This episode of Lower Decks is the first time his name is spoken. We already know Mariner is something of a history nerd when it comes to Starfleet’s colorful past, so it’s possible that she does know who Xon is, and that his Starfleet career is super interesting.

Or. Mariner is aware that Xon was once bound for greatness, but for whatever reason, didn’t make the final cut of his own life. Either way, if Lower Decks decides to bring Xon out in the flesh, it will be a homecoming for a forgotten Vulcan, 41 years later. Clearly, in cultural memory, Xon has lived long. Whether he’s prospered is up for debate.

Star Trek: Lower Decks airs its season finale next Thursday on October 8 on CBS All Access.

Señaló que los Cuerpos Colegiados apenas tenían cinco miembros disponibles para solucionar las controversias entre usuarios y prestadoras, lo que dijo dio lugar a un cúmulo de trabajo que aumentaba con la cantidad de expedientes que llegan día a día al Indotel, generando “una situación que afectó tanto a usuarios como a prestadores”.

“Cuando llegamos al Indotel había más de mil casos pendientes en el Centro de Atención al Usuario y un grupo importante de expedientes también por ser conocidos por los Cuerpos Colegiados”, enfatizó Del Castillo Saviñón, precisando, asimismo, que desde que llegó a la institución reguladora se dispuso resolver la situación existente en dicho organismo.

“Nos abocamos a resolver esa situación, no se convocaba este proceso –de actualización de los miembros de los Cueros Colegiados- desde el año 2012, es decir, que pasaron cuatro años para poder renovar esta lista”, insistió.

Destacó que “ya hoy en día completamos un cuerpo multidisciplinario de 45 integrantes que fueron juramentados para dar agilidad a los trabajos del citado organismo.

Del Castillo Saviñón invitó a los profesionales juramentados “a ejercer esta labor en el marco de la Ley 153-98, en el marco del reglamento orgánico y funcional de los cuerpos colegiados”.

Los exhortó igualmente a “asumir estos compromisos apegados al debido proceso y que sus decisiones sean adoptadas en apego a los principios que rigen nuestro ordenamiento jurídico, la imparcialidad, la equidad y la tutela administrativa”.

“En nombre del Consejo Directivo del Indotel y en nombre del mercado al cual ustedes van a servir como integrantes de los Cuerpos Colegiados, tanto consumidores como prestadores, nuestro más profundo agradecimiento”, subrayó el presidente del Indotel.
