Kirk and Kor compete to exploit people they arrogantly underestimate. Join your geopolitically-weary hosts as they discuss an extremely well-written, produced, and performed story that continues to resonate strongly to this day. A story that also includes Spock wearing a hilarious cape, Kirk feeling quite at home in a medieval blouse, and John Colicos laying the foundation for an franchise-favorite culture with his depiction of Kor. Important programming note: Dan sets out to be super calm this episode, FYI.
Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!
Next week: We are joined by a very special guest to discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation's "A Fistful of Datas"
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.
