#66 – ‘The Trouble with Tribbles’ TOS S2E15

Captain Kirk faces off against aggressive administrators, insulting Klingons, and a shipload of hairy meat.

#60 – ‘Mirror, Mirror’ TOS S2E04

Spock sports a menacing beard while Kirk desperately tries to avoid having sex with a subordinate. Join your interdimensional hosts as they discuss Star Trek’s first foray into the mirror universe.

#33 – ‘Wink of an Eye’ TOS S3E11

A fast lass covets Kirk’s “space seed” while Spock saves the day with a little inspiration from Dark Helmet. Join your easily-confused hosts as they discuss the threshold for immoral action when your entire species is in danger, lament the general slip in writing-quality during TOS’ third season, and inquire as to precisely how long Kirk spent hanging out with Deela in his quarters.

Next week: Data is having some trouble sleeping and Worf gets excited for cake in ‘Phantasms’ – the sixth episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s seventh season.

#25 – ‘A Piece of the Action’ TOS S2E17

Need a concrete example for why the prime directive is so important? Alternatively, looking for any sort of contrivance to watch Captain Kirk and Commander Spock dress up as sexy gangsters? Whichever is your pleasure you will get served nicely in ‘A Piece of the Action,’ episode 17 of the original Star Trek’s second season. Join your fawning fedora fan hosts as they debate the morality of interstellar interference, the difference between art and dogma, and the sheer joy of William Shatner’s acting in this episode.

Next week: We investigate the time-cycling shenanigans of one Harcourt Fenton Mudd in ‘Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad’ – the seventh episode of Star Trek: Discovery’s first season.

#20 – Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

If you thought Picard liked Shakespeare, wait till you get a load of these Klingons!

We also, of course, discuss knee-balls.
