What's Allie's great idea? Is Data's cat Spot canonically also a hot chick? Why do time travelers always act powerless? Will Kirk allow Marty to make sure his parents bang at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance? What are the rules of time travel anyway? How short can a miniskirt get? This episode asks more questions than it answers.

The TOS writers once again explore the idea "What would have happened if 'x' hadn't fallen?" Not 1920's Chicago. Not Nazi Germany. No, this episode of Star Trek: The Original Series begs the question, "Men: How often do you think about the Roman Empire?"

People's fear of automation operates on "Sarah's Pendulum Theory of Everything". In the 60's? Vehicle Manufacturing. Today? AI. Can AI and the like coexist with capitalism or will ChatGPT take over the starship and start torpedoing the shit out of everything?

When the Enterprise discovers their sister ship Exeter in orbit of a planet, they find the Exeter crew has been raptured.  What’s “Left Behind” is just piles of crystal meth. Meanwhile, in a different episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, some people are doing some performative jingoistic American Christian nationalism.  How are these two stories connected?  Very tenuously.

When powerful aliens capture Kirk and the gang with another Landru device, the crew defeat them with irritation, jealousy, and boners. Roll for initiative!

Sarah and Allie slip on some armbands and kick march around the studio... No, I'm not doing this. I refuse to put swastikas on our cartoons and there's no good jokes to write here about this literal Nazi episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. Listen to this episode, punch a Nazi, and learn from history.   Play along with our Starfleet Academy Cadet Challenge -- Share this episode using the hashtag #StarfleetChallenge on social media!

It's the 1-year Anniversary of Humanist Trek! Allie and Sarah's bodies are taken over by ancient aliens that may be our great great great grandparents, Dr. Pulaski's excited to host an alien katra, and Nurse Chapel finally gets Spock inside her. OH MYYY.

When Kirk and company discover the Klingons providing arms to one side of what used to be a peaceful planet, we're reminded of the many times the USA has gotten itself involved in wars across the globe. Is it right to step in and maintain equal firepower--and where does that end?  You say Gumato, I say Mugato. Let's call the whole thing off.   Play along with our Starfleet Academy Cadet Challenge -- Share this episode using the hashtag #StarfleetChallenge on social media!

Sarah and Allie board the Magic School Bus and shrink down to microscopic size. As the bus penetrates a giant space amoeba's boundary... actually, maybe this is all too dirty to make jokes about a kid's TV show. Join us as we blast some antimatter inside a nucleus. Seriously, did these writers know what they were doing?
