2 Trek Nerds

Dan and Kevin review the Richard Matheson classic The Enemy Within where we talk about the duality of humanity, some insights into Spock's character, and just how good of an actor William Shatner is. Yes, really.

Dan and Kevin talk about the episode The Naked Time where we learn that Sulu is a swashbuckler, Kevin Riley likes his Irish singing, and Scotty says he can't change the laws of physics, but manages to anyway. We also talk about which X-Men movie this serves as backdrop for.

Dan and Kevin riff on the second pilot episode that sold Star Trek to NBC. And try to avoid going to the edge of the galaxy, if you can.

Kevin and Dan talk about how this episode demonstrates that absolute power corrupts absolutely. And how teenagers are the same, regardless of century.

Dan and Kevin take you through the first broadcast episode of Star Trek, the Man Trap. Make sure to have some salt available.

Listen to Kevin and Dan riff on the episode that started it all almost 60 years ago.
