Enterprise Incidents with Scott and Steve

36) The Doomsday Machine


Listen Later

The Enterprise responds to a distress call from one of its sister starships, the USS Constellation, only to find it destroyed by a massive killing machine that emanated from another galaxy. It's purpose: to destroy planets, consume the leftover debris to refuel itself and then move on to the next star system to repeat the process. Guilt-ridden over the loss of his crew and hell-bent on revenge, the Constellation's lone survivor, Commodore Matt Decker, takes command of the Enterprise, orders an irrational attack on "that thing" and puts the entire crew in harm's way in an effort to destroy it once and for all. It's "Star Trek" meets "Moby Dick" in "The Doomsday Machine," an all-time classic and fan favorite that features high drama, gripping action, a brilliant screenplay (written by Norman Spinrad), briskly-paced direction (by Marc Daniels), an epic score (composed by Sol Kaplan) and -- perhaps most of all -- one of the greatest performances by a guest star on "Star Trek" (William Windom as Commodore Matt Decker).

Special Guest: Dave Rossi (Associate Producer: "Star Trek: Enterprise"; Visual Effects Producer: "Star Trek: The Original Series" Remastered)

Special Guest: Norman Spinrad (Writer, "The Doomsday Machine")
