Hello, I'm Chris Heurin, welcome to the latest edition of The Rankine, which is the special

Empire podcast in which we rank, yes, rank I said rank, the filmography of a director

or a writer or an actor or a franchise. And in this case, we've gone for our first ever

franchise and it is the famous space wars. No, no, space travel, space travel star, space

wagon, space wagon star. Close actually. Star Trek. Yes, it is indeed Star Trek and over

is Vulcan sound like? It sounds a lot like English because they translate it with the universal

translator. And don't they translate cling on with the universal translator? Well, only

when, when plot convenience requires it. Okay. Are you ready to patronise me for the next

four to five minutes or so? Ready and willy enable. Because that's established
