RECAP OF LOST LUGGAGE

Khan!!!
(Director:) A little more anger Bill.
KHAN!!!
(Director:) Okay, now just let it all out. Just, just let it go. Really give in to the anger.
KHAAAAAAANNN!!!!

Director's Commentary: Now don't get me wrong, we liked Bill's performance in this scene, but we felt it was a little understated. I mean, that's Bill now isn't it? It's a great example of how much internalizing the man does with his characters, but I think in this case it was a detriment to the film. We really wanted Kirk to be outraged by Khan's actions here, and I just don't think we got that.

So, it was with this in mind that Rick Berman and I started to look around for a captain who could really emote. I mean, EMOTE. Big enough to distract and gloss over the 'plots' we'd be hacking out every week on Voyager. So, you can understand how overjoyed we were to get the frigid zeppelin that is Kate Mulgrew.

(off camera) Yeah, that was a coup.

Director's Commentary: Absolutely.

So does anyone else have these kinds of conversations at work? Please note, the 'frigid zeppelin that is Kate Mulgrew' is the work of my buddy Alex. Kudos!

So, talking about the hassles our techs endure trying to fix things today and we got to talking about the extreme security measures some of our clients have. After being all but strip-searched on the way in for recording devices, our tech gets the same treatment on the way out. Did you want us to fix the damn machine or not?

Then the next guy walks in with a metal briefcase and the guard says 'Oh, it's a printer!' - "Actually, it's a device to measure Radar, but if you want to call it a printer, by all means."

This got us thinking about how to prepare for next time. We're thinking put a Radioactive warning label on the toolkit, and when they go to inspect it, hand them some HAZMAT gloves. Tell them you have a 'training video' of the proper method to open the case and show them a clip of Spock melting in the reactor core from Star Trek 2. Or maybe the opening of the Ark of the Covenant.;)

Now I'm waiting around for a print to finish so I can load the machine for the night and get going. Funtime is all the time.

So remember folks, if you ever feel lost or unsure, just ask yourself "What would Jesus do for a Klondike Bar?"
