Friday’s Child.
When fans think of Klingon episodes on TOS, they think of
“Errand of Mercy,” “Day of the Dove,” and “The Trouble with
Tribbles.” The second appearance of the classic villains was made
in what is really a Bones story—they just happen to be there.
“Friday's Child” gets overlooked by fans, yet it builds upon the
Organian Peace Treaty and allows Dr. McCoy to step into the
spotlight all at the same time.
In this episode of The Ready Room, we’re joined by Larry
Nemecek, Charlynn Schmiedt, and Zachary Fruhling to discuss the
other Vasquez Rocks show, those dastardly Klingons, wearing carpet
in the desert, how Dorothy Fontana handles the symmetry between
Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, and whether or not “Friday’s Child” is the
most undervalued TOS episode.
In our news segment, we discuss the recent Beverly Crusher Day
and upcoming Deanna Troi Day, more from the Star Trek Beyond Dubai
set and its alien faces, and we discuss the StarTrek.com poll that
asked which series has the saddest episodes.
