I'm Ethan Peck and I play Mr. Spock

4
00:00:04.820 --> 00:00:06.820
in season two of "Star Trek: Discovery."

5
00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:08.573
I like science.

6
00:00:11.060 --> 00:00:13.140
Now there's been a lot
of great Trek merchandise

00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:14.040
throughout the years.

8
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:17.618
For instance, check out this
communicator from the 70s.

<v ->"Star Trek" communicators
with a range of 1,300 feet.</v>

Push button, twin-warp sound.

11

Uses one nine-volt battery, not included.

12

<v ->Or even this starship
model toy from the 80s.</v>

<v ->And then, there's this:</v>

18
00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:42.270
The infamous Spock helmet.

19
00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:45.173
I've never seen this
before, so let's dive in.

20
00:00:49.350 --> 00:00:51.477
Makes no sense.

21
00:00:51.477 --> 00:00:53.610
"Official Star Trek helmet,"

22
00:00:53.610 --> 00:00:55.490
which never appeared in the show.

23
00:00:55.490 --> 00:00:56.937
I'm sure Spock doesn't need a helmet.

24
00:00:56.937 --> 00:01:00.827
"Featuring flashing light
emitter with pulsing sonic sound.

25
00:01:00.827 --> 00:01:04.300
"Adjustable solar visor,
telescoping antennas."

26
00:01:04.300 --> 00:01:05.220
Very weird.

27
00:01:05.220 --> 00:01:09.160
So we've got, it looks like some decals.

28
00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:13.160
Oh, you can make it Kirk or
McCoy or Scotty or Spock.

29
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:14.050
That's crazy.

30
00:01:14.050 --> 00:01:15.620
And numbers.

31
00:01:15.620 --> 00:01:17.370
Maybe these are call signs, I
don't know what these are for.

32
00:01:17.370 --> 00:01:18.865
Instructions.

33
00:01:18.865 --> 00:01:19.698
(laughs)

34
00:01:19.698 --> 00:01:21.517
"Put it on," I'm just kidding.

35
00:01:21.517 --> 00:01:23.707
"Your Star Trek helmet
will provide lasting fun

36
00:01:23.707 --> 00:01:25.577
"with proper use.

37
00:01:25.577 --> 00:01:27.137
"Before your stellar journey begins,

38
00:01:27.137 --> 00:01:29.380
"read the following instructions
for maximum enjoyment."

39
00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:31.140
Wow, this is spectacular.

40
00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:32.623
And the helmet itself.

41
00:01:34.490 --> 00:01:37.100
Now I've heard about this
and I've seen pictures of it,

42
00:01:37.100 --> 00:01:40.180
and I'm sure you have too
if you're a "Star Trek" fan.

43
00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:41.780
'Cause it is very, very bizarre.

44
00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:46.320
So here is the helmet,

45
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:50.470
which looks like a European police car.

46
00:01:50.470 --> 00:01:51.710
If it were a helmet.

47
00:01:51.710 --> 00:01:52.870
This is crazy.

48
00:01:52.870 --> 00:01:54.313
This makes no sense.

49
00:01:56.807 --> 00:01:58.940
"Property of USS Enterprise."

50
00:01:58.940 --> 00:02:01.160
I suppose it lights up and all of that.

51
00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:06.140
And maybe you can receive
some signals from outer space.

52
00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:08.170
It looks like the visor's
been kept in good condition,

53
00:02:08.170 --> 00:02:09.360
still in the tissue wrap.

54
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.100
I guess we should see how it looks, huh?

55
00:02:11.100 --> 00:02:13.720
Very carefully to preserve the tissue.

56
00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:15.630
There's the vintage tissue.

57
00:02:15.630 --> 00:02:18.430
If I were 10 years old and I got this,

58
00:02:18.430 --> 00:02:20.633
I probably wouldn't even
think about "Star Trek".

59
00:02:20.633 --> 00:02:24.390
It'd just be some strange object.

60
00:02:24.390 --> 00:02:25.620
Which it is.

61
00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:27.200
It's like a football helmet.

62
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:28.810
It's little snaps.

63
00:02:28.810 --> 00:02:30.275
I'm gonna break it.

64
00:02:30.275 --> 00:02:31.890
(laughs)

65
00:02:31.890 --> 00:02:33.620
I don't know what the commercial would be

66
00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:35.160
to sell this toy.

67
00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:38.237
But maybe something like, "Hey kids,

68
00:02:38.237 --> 00:02:40.630
"wanna be reminded of Spock?"

69
00:02:40.630 --> 00:02:42.400
Just kidding, this won't
remind you of Spock

70
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.300
because it has nothing to do with Spock.

71
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:47.490
This has more to do with a
police car from outer space.

72
00:02:47.490 --> 00:02:48.580
Am I right?

73
00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:49.980
Cops and robbers, maybe?

74
00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:51.230
I have no idea.

75
00:02:51.230 --> 00:02:52.330
And there you have it.

76
00:02:53.190 --> 00:02:55.180
I'm not sure what Spock needs this for.

77
00:02:55.180 --> 00:02:57.780
Maybe it improves his
computing power, I don't know.

78
00:02:59.810 --> 00:03:00.643
Perfect.

79
00:03:00.643 --> 00:03:03.060
Hey guys, this is Ethan Peck.

80
00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:03.893
Stay logical.

81
00:03:05.290 --> 00:03:06.980
If there's any other strange artifacts

82
00:03:06.980 --> 00:03:10.010
you would like to see unboxed
or have one of us explore,

83
00:03:10.010 --> 00:03:12.120
let us know and we'll see you soon.

84
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:13.220
Live long and prosper.
