WEBVTT

00:00.500 --> 00:01.700
Don't fit well and

00:01.700 --> 00:04.100
form-fitted

00:04.100 --> 00:04.800
uniforms.

00:04.800 --> 00:06.200
I'm too lumpy

00:06.200 --> 00:07.700
for Star Trek.

00:07.700 --> 00:09.800
My name is John Benjamin are

00:09.800 --> 00:10.400
some

00:10.400 --> 00:11.800
say h John Benjamin.

00:11.800 --> 00:12.500
I

00:12.500 --> 00:14.800
say,

00:14.800 --> 00:15.300
mr.

00:15.300 --> 00:18.300
John Benjamin, I play Edward in the short track

00:18.300 --> 00:20.100
that's trouble with

00:20.100 --> 00:23.900
Edward.

00:23.900 --> 00:26.900
The trouble with Edward is about a young captain

00:26.900 --> 00:29.000
gets reassigned to a

00:29.000 --> 00:30.600
science

00:30.600 --> 00:31.200
vessel.

00:31.200 --> 00:33.600
We've been sharing Resources with the soil Department together.

00:33.600 --> 00:35.300
We're hoping to get the pH levels in our

00:35.300 --> 00:38.100
targeted areas up to 6 .0 within a decade

00:38.100 --> 00:39.300
that sounds promising.

00:39.300 --> 00:41.900
I'm glad you took the initiative on collaboration

00:41.900 --> 00:44.900
and I play Edward who is a science officer

00:44.900 --> 00:47.300
on the ship who

00:47.300 --> 00:49.800
is not quite doing the work that the other

00:49.800 --> 00:53.100
scientists are doing Edward Larkin.

00:53.100 --> 00:54.500
What is your department been up to

00:54.500 --> 00:55.400
I don't have a department.

00:55.400 --> 00:56.600
It's just me,

00:56.600 --> 01:00.800
you know, because Edward just is a little bit

01:00.800 --> 01:02.000
like off

01:02.000 --> 01:03.000
on his own

01:03.000 --> 01:05.800
and a bit of an outsider and the crew.

01:05.800 --> 01:07.500
I

01:07.500 --> 01:09.300
played that part really well

01:09.300 --> 01:11.300
in real life.

01:11.300 --> 01:13.700
I'm not easy to get along with

01:13.700 --> 01:15.600
and people look at me askance.

01:15.600 --> 01:17.100
I also

01:17.100 --> 01:18.600
I didn't know it was sharing resources.

01:18.600 --> 01:19.500
So

01:19.500 --> 01:20.700
yeah,

01:20.700 --> 01:23.200
okay.

01:23.200 --> 01:24.000
I

01:24.000 --> 01:26.800
discover

01:26.800 --> 01:27.500
a

01:27.500 --> 01:31.100
creature an organism called a Tribble which for many

01:31.100 --> 01:33.300
Star Trek fans know

01:33.300 --> 01:34.900
the triple from the

01:34.900 --> 01:36.400
original series

01:36.400 --> 01:38.400
trouble is this Venture Kostas

01:38.400 --> 01:39.200
people call them

01:39.200 --> 01:41.600
Tribbles for short

01:41.600 --> 01:42.700
pretty darn cute.

01:42.700 --> 01:44.800
And I also discovered that

01:44.800 --> 01:46.200
the Tribble is edible

01:46.200 --> 01:47.000
and if you

01:47.000 --> 01:51.100
take all the fur off underneath, it's all meat.

01:51.100 --> 01:53.200
like a scallop

01:53.200 --> 01:56.000
blood red

01:56.000 --> 01:56.700
the triple

01:56.700 --> 01:57.900
apparently tastes

01:57.900 --> 01:58.700
like

01:58.700 --> 01:58.800
a

01:58.800 --> 02:00.500
scallop

02:00.500 --> 02:02.800
so fishy perhaps

02:02.800 --> 02:07.700
Briny,

02:07.700 --> 02:09.300
so I think or

02:09.300 --> 02:10.100
like chicken

02:10.100 --> 02:13.300
somewhere between chicken and fish.

02:13.300 --> 02:16.700
They did a cross section of one for the

02:16.700 --> 02:19.400
first scene where I was actually eating one

02:19.400 --> 02:21.100
and it looked like

02:21.100 --> 02:22.400
more like

02:22.400 --> 02:25.000
prime rib.

02:25.000 --> 02:26.700
With fur on the outside

02:26.700 --> 02:28.400
in my mind I would have liked if I'm

02:28.400 --> 02:30.300
eating out and I ordered triple.

02:30.300 --> 02:33.300
I would want the fur taken off.

02:33.300 --> 02:35.000
So I get very hung up on the idea

02:35.000 --> 02:37.700
of using it as a food source.

02:37.700 --> 02:40.000
Nobody else wants to do that because of the

02:40.000 --> 02:42.100
moral implications,

02:42.100 --> 02:43.500
but I am

02:43.500 --> 02:44.900
a lunatic

02:44.900 --> 02:46.500
it feels a meat on these

02:46.500 --> 02:49.300
and I did eat 1818

02:49.300 --> 02:53.300
one, but it was like

02:53.300 --> 02:54.100
it was

02:54.100 --> 02:56.500
like made

02:56.500 --> 02:57.500
cloth,

02:57.500 --> 03:03.100
but I had

03:03.100 --> 03:05.000
This is a very short episode.

03:05.000 --> 03:09.900
I'm sure God but you know, what was it

03:09.900 --> 03:12.500
two years? It's just took two years to shoot

03:12.500 --> 03:14.000
we shot for to yeah.

03:14.000 --> 03:15.200
It was like

03:15.200 --> 03:17.400
apocalypse now

03:17.400 --> 03:19.100
just to get that one short of

03:19.100 --> 03:21.200
I was like the Brando of the

03:21.200 --> 03:21.900
set.
