Displaying Our Exploded USS Enterprise D
Vložit

- Our movie and TV memorabilia museum is expanding! We are now the proud owners of pieces of a 4 foot model of the Enterprise D. This model was blowed up in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Cause and Effect". It was shipped to us in a ton of pieces (it was exploded) and we had to figure out a way to display it. If we didn't do it soon it would be doomed to sit on a shelf somewhere forever as we are all pretty lazy (except Rich and Jay). So Mike and Dick the Birthday Boy spent many a nights discussing how to do this. A plan was made. Since this was a pretty long process, we decided to make a little documentary about it. What else are we gonna do with our time?

I like these episodes where the writers humanise Mike's character.
Its strange to see them acting like normal people
It’s a nice try but it’s way too late. He has done so many horrible things to so many innocent people.
Patton Oswalt will never be the same again
@@NothingIsKnown00I know. The Rich Evans torture arc has been going on for so long now that its hard to redeem Mike at this point.
@@NothingIsKnown00 It just hasn't been the same since the flight logs came out.
Nothing cuter than watching an elderly couple enjoying a shared hobby.
😂
I literally came on to post that exact same thing word-for-word. Damn you.
Every time they make a Star Trek video, I enjoy not only the content but the fact they make Jay film it.
"Isn't that right Jay?" "Yes. I love the star treks"
"Isn't that right Jay?" "Yes, I thought a tiny shelf held up by two anchors in a drywall would be able to store 15 harddrives."
We do plan to expand on this. Possibly adding a frame or a shadow box. Certainly fixing the paint, etc... Trial and hopefully no error.
You guys did the hard part. You might be able to outsource having a shadow box custom made.
I am a professional framer, and I have to let you know you did a great job.
this video was very wholesome, going to show it to my 14 year old daughter and fellow TNG enthusiast when she gets home
Meanwhile in the props storage...
Gremlin: .... ...hello? ☹
If you're looking for ideas... re-create the shape of the whole ship, filling in the blank spaces with clear resin/perspex, then hang it with steel rope wire anchored into the perspex parts, so it can be hung "flying" - it would be like a 3d puzzle with missing pieces, and you'd be able to see both sides of the parts. (hopefully that makes sense)
"this isnt one of your fucking gremlins, this is the enterprise." is one of my favorite picard quotes
playground :D
If only we could have a Gremilns/StarTrek crossover series
@@sageoz9886Omg, gremlins on the enterprise.
There are FOUR Gremlins!
William Shatner was the guy from the Twilight Zone episode about a gremlin attacking his plane.
I MADE THAT DISSECTED VHS FRAME. Mike, the highest honor is when you tossed it. 😂🙏🏼
My heart goes out to you
Didn't look like it ever actually left his hand. Clever edit and sound FX.
That things super neat by the way.
@@willjack1988 I knew the sound was added.. that frame would never make that much clatter 🤣 I assumed he maybe tossed it to a chair or something. Then I went back and screen recorded the video and took it back and forth. And I’m pretty sure he didn’t throw it also.
I laughed so hard on the first watch. He could have frisbee’d it into the wall and I would have clapped 😂
@@TheodoricFriede thank you!
Hi, museum/ art historian here: if you’re concerned with the pegs not being secure enough to hold the back piece of the Enterprise, try cutting a notch into the support pegs where the object will rest, with one side parallel to the end of the peg, and the slope of the notch pointing back towards the object. You can change the depth to suit, but this should help assuage your worries about it falling forward! What you guys did is very similar to how galleries and museums i’ve worked with handle delicate items with weird shapes!
Love seeing you guys preserving these objects, have a great day!
That's fascinating to learn! Thanks for the comment as it's like an extra esoteric geekery comment on top of this extremely geeky video and I am eating it up lol
Ratio
I had the same idea about cutting a notch into the peg while watching
It's funny how such simple solutions don't occur to us sometimes.
A french cleat would also be a good idea.
Mike has the shattered hull of the Enterprise D on display just as Tomalak boasted he wanted to do in Defector.
I thought of this too. It's a real Romulan move
To buy movie memorabilia and write it off as a bussines expense. Mike is living his best life in his golden years.
“Golden years”? Isn’t that a thing the elderly say
This guy wants taxes. Can you harbor freight your taxes. Or do you just get my love.
Meanwhile Rich Evans will be the guy in the sewer with a pocket watch in Scrooged.
@@mathieuhendeyMike is the secret 4th golden girl
@@voidmayonnaise*alcoholic years
Why am I not surprised Mike made a 23-minute video showing off his enterprise model
More like he needed to be able to make the video to file the money spent on the model as a business expense.
Gotta double dip
I’m honestly not mad about it. We get to see a cool prop that hasn’t been seen in around 30 years.
I can't remember what tums festival was
@rustylasagna oh for sure, I'm always happy to see their prop collection. I wish they made videos like this more often tbh
I'm a combat veteran who's 100 percent disabled from PTSD. This CZcams channel and all the Star Trek references are one of the most enjoyable things in my life. Thanks guys.
As they say laughter is the best medicine, well it fkn helps at least. Keep safe fella!
Not a vet but I’m also really struggling to deal with ptsd and in an outpatient for getting better. I wish you all the best ❤ from one internet stranger to another
Rich's genuine excitement when they open up the Enterprise for the first time made me smile. Like watching a kid opening presents on Christmas Day.
For a fleeting moment he was Dick The Birthday Boy again.
And watching mikes embarrassed smile as if he is above all of this ha
I fucking love Star Trek!
Two old men talking about Star Trek. The best series on this webzone.
I'd love them to do more of their top 10 episodes, from any of the series.
I'm the same age they are, thanks for calling us old....
@@salemcripple so am I 😂
What's better than this? Guys bein dudes.
The boomer generation has much to teach us.
My heart goes out to the fan who made the dissected RLM VHS.
I disagree, fuck em for making something they knew would be mistreated.
What ? That was the highest honor Mike could give that VHS.
The fact that Rich Evans even looked at it should be an honor
I would expect nothing less if I sent something to them
It's flattering to have it shown in a video, but even more so that they stole the idea from it to make his prized enterprise displayable.
Happy to see these guys are still making Nerd Crew videos.
I'm happier watching Mike and Rich play with their toy than getting a present myself. This must be what it feels like to be a parent.
Hahahaha aaaaaah fuck no. You want to feel like a parent? Add crippling tiredness, high anticipation for your child's reaction to the present you sought long and hard for and then top it off with insane frustration and disappointment when they say "I wanted a blue one."
@@thirdeyenz Color is important to kids. I still remember the disappointments 30 years later
@@vornamenachname594 Yeah me too. My kid's autistic so it gets far worse than just colour, it's like "Oh this toy doesn't do everything the cartoon character does?" and so on... with just about everything we buy him so it gets frustrating when we're constantly trying to do something nice for him and he just picks on the bad points. But that's autism, you just have to deal with it.
Jay needs to get in the action with purchasing horror moxie collectables. "Look, guys, it's the plastic bag from Black Christmas. It cost $10,000!"
It's the "GARBAGE DAY!" Garbage bin
I think Jay mentioned that most of their spooky Halloween stuff was his crap, ha ha.
They should see if there's any auctions for the cane from citizen kane.
Mike finding Rich is like Paul McCartney finding John Lennon. I can't think of another person in the world who would share such a passion for Star Trek , crappy VHS movies, and memorabilia.
AND also be willing to put up with his kind of humor while behind funny on their own!
As a horror fan myself Jay is my favorite, but Rich and Mike have a one in a million chemistry.
Mike and Rich know nothing about Star Trek, it's all an act.. Jay writes up the scripts.
@@brelshar4968OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD! 😮
Does that make jay George and jack ringo?
One in a million hahaha.
I half expected them to go through all this mounting business only to have Mike say in closing “Are you ready Rich?” and then push a button and blow up his newly mounted Enterprise.
Rich interrupting Mike by running the saw feels like a small justice 😂
The entirety of Star Trek is more believable than Mike going to church
He never said what church he goes, so I say it's a Star Trek Church.
"All power to the engines"
Even the bit where they "decontaminate" by lubing each other up in Enterprise?
He's the depressed man sitting in the back row holding a revolver pressed to his temple.
@@1zymn1 He's the Man With No Name whistling Willy's Wonderland
They treat the fragile things with no care, but they get an already exploded and destroyed Enterprise and theyre taking great thought and caution into preserving and not damaging it further
😂😂 That's exactly right!
Well it ain't no f*cking gremlin...
Something about watching Rich Evans build stuff is surprisingly entertaining
In 1992, the props department at Paramount Studios built a disposable replica of the Enterprise D which was to be used in the demolition shot of that season's 18th episode. The ship was destroyed. The episode was a hit. The crew began working on the next episode. A custodian swept the pieces into a bin, and that was that. Or so we all thought....
I feel like the true purpose of this channel is finally coming out. For Mike to purchase enough star trek props to create his own show.
There's a guy who makes entire episodes of TNG in Blender and fully voices them. I was half expecting it to be Mike when I heard the description.
@@heyeveryoneimcool I'm gonna need a link to that sir
We'll finally get to see a live-action adaptation of Mike's fanfic, Star Trek: Galaxy
Just like Seth McFarlane.
Joke's on you, Mike isn't going to film any of it. He's going to "live" his Star Trek experience.
Honestly some of my favorite RLM stuff isn’t even when they’re watching bad movies. I love these kinds of videos.
Well now I need to know the story of the 15 hard drives sitting on a shelf suspended by two drywall anchors.
probably something to do with video editing I expect
Red Letter Media appears to be the best job in the world. Making a living on your passion is never a bad thing. And to do it with your friends by your side is even better.
I'm already thinking "boy I hope Red Letter Media's studio/warehouse/office/clubhouse never burns down" and then I notice the missing fire extinguisher behind Mike.
They are so not cool about fire safety.
this is all one huge insurance fraud scam, these wisconsin alcoholics only made this channel as an alibi
If the human who sent the mounted RLM VHS tape is a true fan, having Mike toss it across the room was the highlight of his life.
The day Stoklasa graced his village was the greatest day of OPs life. For him, it was just a Tuesday
The human posted in the comments, he loves it- and is confident it wasn't actually thrown. ;)
I made the frame! He could have frisbeed it to the wall and shattered it and I would have clapped. 😂
*her
They commented above. It was.
Jay displays a remarkable amount of patience for Mike's Star Trek obsession.
He has no other choice.
Just think of all the horrifying sex pervert props Jay has accumulated they're just not allowed to talk about on youtube.
It's part of being a boyfriend.
Watching them excitedly unwrap the Saucer like children on Christmas was actually adorable.... which is something I'd never thought I say about Mike and Rich Evans
Start with solving a mundane problem, muse a bit on mortality and the impermanence of man, end on a happy note. A true Star Trek moment.
Big props to Rich for actually being a skilled carpenter and showing they're not Hack Frauds.
That was Staged to get you off their scent
I'm very proud of Rich for wearing safety goggles. You only have one pair of eyes, folks. Protect them.
@@PingMe23Where are the goggles we need to get the goggles.
@@PingMe23 "Za goggles.... zey do nuzzzing!"
@@onepureturtleReddit Letter Media
I've never watched an episode of Star Trek in my life yet I've watched almost every video of Mike & Rich talking about Star Trek! Watching these two hacks talk about something they're so passionate about is actually very endearing!
Do yourself a favour, give it a go. If you don't like it you can always stop but I did off the back of these two talking about it and I really enjoyed it.
Check out a couple of the famous episodes; the show is episodic enough that you're really not missing context by not watching from the start. If you like it, you can always go back (it's just that TNG season 1 is famously awkward and not representative of how good the show gets).
I watch this episode a lot, and I laugh every time I see the explosion; the buzzard pops off, you can see the wires suspending it, you can see that its hollow. The fact that they kept this model is amazing, and the fact that I get to see it now in its present form fills me with so much glee. Thank you.
I can’t believe how strong they built the model to be blown up, it didn’t really explode as much as just violently twirl apart / around on its wires
The exploded USS Enterprise D is about family and that's whats so powerful about it.
True thank you for this. Princess Picard said this and not everyone knows this
I CLAPPED! I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!
Somehow, the Enterprise-D has returned.
It took 12 years to make!
Guinann definitely stocked Corona back there somewhere
This better be leading to that Rich vs Mike Star Trek trivia we were promised, goddammit
Would be cool to maybe 3D print the missing parts in clear plastic and include them to show what should be there
& 3D print proper brackets to hold that one part instead of using a peg plus caulk
This is probably my favorite video you guys have put out in years. It’s like top gear for movie nerds but w/ Mike and rich as hosts.
9:25 the legendary "folding chable" has a cameo
How does "folding chable" still have the ability to make me chuckle after all this time? 😄
This is why RLM is one of the best content creators on this platform and anywhere else.
They document what some would consider mundane, but make it entertaining in the usual RLM way.
Plus, they don’t shove products/sponsorships in your face and beg for likes. True professionals at their craft.
Subscribed for 12 years and never disappointed.
Yup. Same here. I would watch them do almost anything at this point lol
20:10 Mike and Rich speaking directly to my heart there regarding the Enterprise-D and I'm sure the hearts of many Trekkies out there. This ship was as much a character as any of the main cast members and it did feel like a second home to me.
It became my favorite ship after seeing it pointlessly destroyed in Generations. Bergman suxxxxx.
@@FASAfan I can actually rewatch Generations now and not be so pissed off because I know that she was brought back and restored to her proper place in history.
@@ange1uk
I rewatched Generations recently and it was actually worse than I remember. The only TNG film I particularly enjoyed was Insurrection. Peoples main complaint seems to be 'Its more like a TNG two-parter' which is the exact reason I like it.
Finally, they've started to appreciate their movie memorabilia. Brings a smile to my face.
I'll get the acetone.
I used to work for Prop Store and recognize a few of these pieces, including the Enterprise D and the Baby Bink doll.
Glad to know you picked em up!
My guess with the resin nacelle tips as that they had the molds and thats a fast/cheap way to produce them.
I kinda half expected them to do all that in depth discussion about how to display the model and then have the ending just be them blowing the display up. 😂
Nice display guys, looks great. I recently built a replica of the 4' Enterprise D filming model using casts from the original moulds for The National Film & Sci-fi Museum here in the UK. Getting the hull colours as exact to the original as possible was EXTREMELY tough, it's way more blue and green that it looks on screen!
I really love how crafty Rich is.
I'm sure Jay is very excited to film more and perhaps even host Star Trek episodes.
They did say they're gonna do a Mike vs. Rich Star Trek Trivia episode at some point.
Rich says, "Oh, I'm so glad comedy didn't happen." @ 15:49
We need a monthly RedLetterMedia series where it's just Rich and Mike talking about any topic they choose. They can make anything fun and interesting. From Jerry Springer to pop culture to US secession post-2030. They are true entertainers.
Indeed, just do it in place of HitB, no one cares about that series anymore, including Mike, Jay and Rich.
@@brelshar4968I won’t hear this HitB slander. Easily my favorite series of theirs.
@@brelshar4968 I was hoping they would replace “Best of The Worst”. All those VHS tapes are just a stream of broken dreams and promises.
BotW is the best series they do, especially Black Spines and their holiday episodes.@@da009999
Just wait until you go to the channel and find out that that’s pretty much the whole thing 😂
Rich is a really talented tradesman. Well done Rich
I like these vids where the boys are just talking about something. Like I love these guys so much I just wanna hear them talking about their hobbies, and interests lol. RLM thank you for giving us just a glimpse into your life
Holy shit! Where did they found that 1:1 Rich Evans replica?
an abandoned gas station in utah
Goodwill
And how is it operated?
I can't believe how poorly they treat this mint condition genuine Rich Evans prop
That's just a repurposed Dick the Birthday Boy replica.
Jay knows a lot about Star Trek.
he’s really the trekhead of the group
He came in 2nd place in a Star Trek game show!
Jay is owed a sixpack for having to endure this nerd fest.
He also seems to know a lot about stacking hard drives apparently
@@orsonzedd And silicone c*cks (aperently) - 16:40
I have a warm, fuzzy feeling in my heart knowing you guys have this and get to enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.
9:37 speaks to my soul. The absolute reverence that "This is an Enterprise." Abuse all the other props but this is like touching the Holy Grail.
Rich sitting with rhe Enterprise model on his lap like a man-child Bond villian is everything.
Wish he was petting it
18:12 Rich drives a Rav4, his reputation as a supremely rational and practical man is upheld.
Truly a suitable steed for Richard The Reliable, Builder of Stuff.
Dick the birthday boy.
lmao was looking to see if anyone else noticed
It belongs in a museum!
I've really enjoyed all the behind the scenes/DIY videos you've posted recently. That this one intersects with my favorite episode of one of my favorite shows only makes it better.
I genuinely love watching you guys bringing us along with you on projects like this and the deep dive video into the Dick the Birthday Boy lore. And I'm glad you get to enjoy your memorabilia however the hell you want to.
Nice to see Rich getting his monthly human interaction.
He's still to take his diabetes medicine.
Rich Evans is gradually acquiring drip and becoming the most stylish RLM
A lot of love and a lot of craft went into that display. Nice job boys!👍
As someone who loves Gremlins it brings me so much pain to see how much care they put into their enterprise but treat their Gremlins like coasters.
I love the increase in releases. Thank you, everyone involved with Red Letter Media, for the earnest entertainment over the years.
I feel like Half in the Bag is the best successor to Siskel and Ebert's At the Movies.
I love it when they ask jay Star Trek questions & he’s just off camera
Well he's usually behind a camera.
My first thought was to 3D print the entire Enterprise-D at that scale, subtracting the parts you have, then attaching the parts to the 3D model, which would be matte black or some unassuming color. Kinda like what they do with dinosaur skeletons.
I love watching arts and crafts day at the old folks home, can't wait for the next one
The Star trek content is by far my fav.
Jay is laughing at you right now.
@@__Tazzzono, hes crying into his popcorn while watching Texas Titty Slasher 12
It's the worst of the best! 😬
For a concept that could have gone REAL stale, REAL fast, Cause And Effect is written and directed to perfection. CLASSIC sci-fi.
When Star Trek was cleverly written by intelligent writers.
Not really. I love the episode, but it takes unmitigated incompetence to fuck up a time loop story. It's always interesting.
17:36
I keep coming back to this. 😂
“Ay yeh yi you freaked me out!!”
God Bless Rich Evans.
I love this video. I love hearing you guys talk Star Trek. Makes me so happy.
It makes me so happy how proud these two are of their Enterprise.
Yeah they're like proud parents displaying their baby's golden booties.
More of these videos please! Also we are long overdue 1 paranormal investigation Mike! Please drag Jay and Rich out to some old spooky place for the night.
I would settle for quiz shows that become increasingly esoteric and philosophical in nature forcing them to answer questions that they don't understand with mundane humour and sillyness.
Mike doesn't allow them in his house
7 minutes in and this is already my favorite video on RLM, no joke. I'd love to see them find more props they appreciate and do similar deep dives
Presenting this in a way that takes us along for the journey was very well done, very entertaining to watch
This kind of stuff is so cool. I teach college and one of my student’s dads worked on the American Godzilla (1998) movie and brought in one of the fish props from the movie. It was cool because it looked like it was meant to simply “read” as a fish from the paint, but the fins were stapled on, as if they just had a fish factory going at one point.
@@HelpAnimalsPleaseE"helped" the animals
Thats alot of fish
I'd binge an entire series of you guys discussing movie memorabilia.
YES. Like a sarastic version of Rhetty For History's channel
It's strangely comforting to see these two speak nicely to each other.
I love these behind the scenes type videos, guys. Keep making them!
This is how it starts, next thing you know, they’re going to be building a full scale replica… And I’m all here for it
They really should pursue more esoteric SciFi garbage like Zardoz' codpiece or the boob ship from Battle Beyond the Stars.
Knowing that this part of Star Trek TNG is in the hand of true fans makes me happy
I just love when these guys talk Star Trek
One addition I would suggest is a sheet of plexiglass or lexan mounted on posts directly above/in front of the model so that it can't be bumped into. This would also make it look more like a museum piece, reflecting the care you have for such an item.
I want to see more of the "Handbook for the Recently Deceased."
Good to see the boys are "investing" their money into things that matter.
Hey, that Enterprise model contains a sick bay that can cure countless diseases we can't cure in 2023.
you know what? i'm happily watching any ad i can see on their channel just to support that kind of stuff
It gives them content and stuff to entertain us with, so it's money we'll spent. Having a prop from the show you always loved is just a nice benefit.
I can always tell when Mike writes the descriptions for the videos, he's got such a way with words
I'm so glad you guys got this model! I have also caught the prop collecting bug this year, and this auction was my first. I won the tos spock ears - the one thing I've wanted from my favorite show! And since then, oh my goodness, I've been picking up deals when I can, and thank God for the Greg Jien collection! And for him being the master he was, such an incredible model maker who did such fantastic and historic work. His stuff belongs in the museum
Having your own warehouse studio must feel amazing. Your talents deserve it.
its fun til it gets too cold to do anything inside of it (milwaukee moment)
One of the reasons RLM is a massive cut above most web producers, they actually need and EXTENSIVELY use their studio. Half of them buy a studio, then have no idea what to do with it. I think about the only other exception I can think of are the Viva La Dirt League people.
Seriously I can think of so, so many examples someone bought a studio they didn't need and had no idea what to do with it.
More episodes like this everytim you get a prop, please! History, where it was used; any behind the scenes etc etc :))
Mike's love for Star Trek actually made me respect this series alot more.
Been loving the recent content. I love pretty much all of your content, but lately it's all been special imo
If you guys want to contrive a reason to keep buying film memorabilia, I'm sure we would all enjoy a continuing series surrounding the arts and crafts of displaying the memorabilia, and background on how and why you bought it.
Mike and Rich living every Trek fan’s dream right there
Damn, that prop is awesome. This is probably my favourite TNG episode. It was the first Time Loop story I'd ever soon and I have been hooked ever since. Commander Tomalak would have been proud to see you mount the Enterprise on your wall.
I love this vid doubly much:
1) I get to see a couple of knowledgeable Star Trek fans nerd out over some awesome Star Trek memorabilia.
2) I get to go re-watch one of the best TNG episodes that it's from afterward.
I trust Jay about the strength of the adhesive. He's an expert in all things caulk.
That's my favourite episode of Star Trek: TNG. I'm glad you guys ended up with the prop because you are real fans of the show.
"All hands abandon Ship!! Repeat all hands.... "
I remember the first time I saw it. I think it was one of the first eps I saw, probably in the early 90s. I would have been 10 years old or so. I remember being captivated by the concept.
When he gets cut off before saying abandon ship, it gives me the willies so fucking bad for some reason.
Yeah because we are not supposed to see the Enterprise Explode That's why It's an awesome episode@@evansfanily7510
This warms my young collector's heart. Knowing that I too can be this passionate about my collections in my old age is the motivation I need to keep going :)
You two are so much fun to see. Really wish I could meet all of you guys and have a laugh
