This week we're thankful for...Star Trek! We show some love to one of our historian's favorite episodes from Season 1 of TOS, "Conscience of the King." In an episode that's hefty even by our standards, we discuss how the heightened drama and over the top acting makes this part of our top 3 for TOS. We also try to square the logistics of killing 4000 colonists without leaving a trace of your identity, partly by following the logic of Dayton Ward's Discovery novel Drastic Measures. We could have talked about this episode for another hour, easily.
