27: "The Mark of Gideon" (TOS) with Jean MacDonald

Listen Later

Jean MacDonald, founder of App Camp for Girls, joins Scott to talk about “The Mark of Gideon” (TOS S3E17). Overpopulation, cranky Spock, the Gideon’s seeming complete lack of knowledge about how disease works, and the horrible life sucking powers of bureaucracy are all touched upon.

Random Trek shirts are available for a few more days. You don’t want to be the only one at the Star Trek convention without one, do you?
