There can be few episodes of television more well-known than Balance of Terror, and few which have contributed quite as much to popular culture. So this week, it's time to tackle an episode that really does live up to the title of "all-time classc".

But does the episode deserve that reputation? Can William Shatner manage to carry the dramatic heft of the episode? And can Star Trek easily absorb influeces that go far beyond the western?

Plus in Recommendations we have a pair of classic horror movies, some anime and a comic-book TV show.
