#342 - "The Lights of Zetar" TOS S3E18

Kirk, Spock, Scotty, and some non-corporeal aliens keep referring to a respected officer as "girl". Join your confused hosts as they discuss poor writing, missed opportunities, and slap-dash production in relation to some engaging (if nonsensical) camera work and intriguing (if unfulfilled) philosophical ideas. It's what is to be expected in late-Season three TOS folks! Also, Dan and Patrick disagree on something, and Jesse makes various solid points that Dan and Patrick were not paying attention to at the time due to their particular brands of adorable self-indulgence.

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 will be discussing Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Schizoid Man"

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.
