We all have different sides that make us who we are. The Original Series explored this masterfully in Richard Matheson's story of Kirk's struggle to live with only his good or evil half in "The Enemy Within." When Voyager rolled around nearly 30 years later, the writers once again took us to the realm of Jekyll and Hyde incarnate with "Faces," the story of B'Elanna's struggle between her Klingon and human halves. In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Charlynn Schmiedt and Mariel Keeran to discuss what the story has in common with "The Enemy Within" and where it differs, how the loss of each side affected the other as B'Elanna coped with being fully Klingon and fully human, and how the writers could have taken a bold step on Voyager and turned the actions of the Vidiians into an incredible character arc.
In news we examine the winners of the WeLoveFine Star Trek t-shirt design contest, get you ready for Star Trek Online's debut on Mac, learn about the return of Michael Dorn as Worf in STO, share our thoughts on the rumours of Joe Cornish directing the next Abramsverse film, and get the details of the Japanese Blu-ray release of Star Trek Into Darkness (are all the extras available in one set?). Plus, we find out which energy drink will be sponsoring the next Parrises squares championship.
