This event will earn you 3 point in the Cosmic Quest, the last day of the mission
Join us from July 22 to September 1 for Cosmic Quest, where you can earn souvenirs and help our friends fuel their spaceship through geocaching!
In my favorite Star Trek series, Deep Space Nine, there is an excellent 2-part episode (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Past Tense) where they go back in time to TODAY!
The episode takes place in the "Mission District" in San Francisco, so we are eating pizza at Mountain Mikes on Mission blvd. (I'm too lazy to go to SF, plus if the Bell Riots really happen we will be safe and full.)
We won't be watching the episode or dressing up or anything. I just thought it would be cool to have a little geocaching star trek pizza party.
nano nano.
I will have a modest raffle, we can move trackables or just discover them. This will be a casual event without organized activities, just chatting and eating. I made it 2 hours so everyone can stop by at their leisure. I'm not renting the place out or anything, just a meet up.
Here is some tidbits about the episodes
Memorable quotes
"It's not your fault things are the way they are."
"Everybody tells themselves that. And nothing ever changes."
- Julian Bashir and Lee
"Woosh! I'm invisible."
"If you say so."
"You can see me?"
"Just barely."
- Grady, Jadzia Dax, and Julian Bashir
"You know, Commander, having seen a little of the 21st century, there is one thing I don't understand: how could they have let things get so bad?"
"That's a good question. I wish I had an answer."
- final lines, spoken by Julian Bashir and Benjamin Sisko
Background information
The writers based the Bell Riots on two historical incidents, both of which took place in the early 1970s: the Kent State shootings of anti-war protesters in 1970 and the Attica Prison riot in 1971.
Clint Howard, who plays Grady in this episode, earlier portrayed Balok in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Corbomite Maneuver". However, the character of Grady was actually written for Iggy Pop, who turned out to be unavailable at the time.
The boxing advertisement visible in the 1930 scene with Kira and O'Brien showcases the same boxers as an advertisement that can be seen in The Original Series episode "The City on the Edge of Forever". (The ad from "The City on the Edge of Forever" is for a bout at Madison Square Garden; the ad in this episode is for a bout at Bay Land Garden, and notes that it is "their first rematch since Madison Square Garden" ) The reason this poster was used was to give a subtle hint that O'Brien and Kira were on Earth at exactly the same time as Kirk and Spock.
Sisko discusses the London Kings and Buck Bokai with Vin, played by Dick Miller. Both the player and the team were first mentioned during Miller's first Star Trek appearance, in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Big Goodbye".
In this episode, aired in 1995, Sisko states that the 2015 London Kings were the greatest team in baseball history. Vin claims it was the 1999 New York Yankees; in reality, the Yankees did indeed win the World Series in 1999, but the Yankees team of the previous year won sixteen more games and has been often called one of the greatest teams ever. The accuracy of the prediction is surprising given that, while the Yankees were clearly a team on the rise in early 1995, there was little to suggest that the team would go on to dominate the latter half of the 1990s the way they did. Incidentally, the real-life winner of the 2015 World Series were the Kansas City Royals, a team with a similar mascot, logo, and primary color to the fictional London Kings.
After Sisko tackles Vin to the ground, B.C. is impressed and, in reference to baseball, says that he'd hate to be a catcher seeing Sisko barreling towards home plate. At the time this episode aired, plate collisions were still a fairly common occurrence and were among the most violent plays in baseball. In real life, plate blocking rules in baseball were changed for safety reasons in 2014 and home plate collisions are banned in nearly every circumstance.
