Show Notes

Captain Kirk navigates a tricky situation. Join your outpost-hopping hosts as they discuss the terrors of institutional inertia, well-intentioned but ultimately naïve attempts at social justice, and the curious ease with which one character reacts to the death of their partner.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: O'Brien gets paranoid in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's season two "Mess with Miles" classic, "Whispers"

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.
