Kirk and Spock dress up as Nazis, but it's all in good fun. Join your beany-wearing hosts as they discuss a clever (if somewhat improbable) premise, tonal discordance that somehow doesn't get in the way of the story, and the glorious majesty that is Spock's chest hair. Note that Dan get uncomfortable during the chest hair conversation, which itself should be sufficient enticement for any fence-sitters out there trying to decide whether or not to listen to this episode.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

A reminder for everyone to check out Patrick on the Trek Cast podcast to discuss the current state of Trek - available now wherever you regularly consume podcasts or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgX5WChawSQ

Next week: We veer away from stories that are too close to reality and instead will revel in the silliness that is Star Trek: Enterprises' 'Acquisition'

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
