Kirk and Spock just can't figure out what's even going on! Join your psychidelic self-hating hosts as they discuss weird beards, confusing plots, strange absences, odd-acting regulars, beefy-looking extras, and how all of that still seems to add up to an entertaining, if perhaps exasperating episode of Star Trek. Also, tons of voicemails and emails, Jesse apologizes for helping out, Patrick gets periodically perplexed, and Dan again clarifies the terms of the great meatloaf/hamburger debate. Strap in and buckle up!OR something to that effect - some turn of phrase that will engage your mind such that you want to listen.

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!

Here is a link to the video longtime listener Emanuel has been crafting over the last three years:

Let's give it lots of views so keep Emanuel engaged in this important piece of wondrous art.

Next week: We will discuss Kirk's antics on Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Family"

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.
