The Lights of Zetar.

You probably already know that it’s not a good idea to stare

into a bright light. When there are many lights—and they’re
multi-colored—doing so becomes an even worse idea. You could damage
your eyesight, or perhaps have you brainwave replaced by that of a
group of alien minds searching for a body to call home. That’s what
happened to Lt. Mira Romaine in “The Lights of Zetar,” the
third-season TOS episode that plays with character personalities,
limited financial resources, and has a connection to a beloved
children’s show.

In this episode of The Ready Room, we’re joined by Larry Nemecek

and Brandon-Shea Mutala to discuss Memory Alpha, Scotty in love,
how you can blame anything on space, and why horses might not make
the best engineers. We also delve into some Season Three trivia,
production shortcuts, and remastered TOS elements.

In our news segment, Chris and Larry discuss whether the

ascension of Les Moonves to Chair of CBS Corp. will have an impact
on Star Trek, when we’ll hear first details about the Star Trek
2017 series, and the future of Star Trek on streaming services not
called CBS All Access. Plus, Larry fills us in on the latest
happenings in Portal 47.
