Star Trek: The Original Series, Season 3, Episode 9 - "The Tholian Web" Oct 24, 2013

Show notes

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "The Tholian Web," the Enterprise encounters a ghost ship, and Kirk gets caught on it. It's up to Spock and McCoy to get him back, but can they conquer their own differences first? Plus, madness is hitting the crew and the Enterprise is being webbed in by Tholians! Lots happening as we put The Tholian Web in the Mission Log.

Star Trek: The Original Series, Season 3, Episode 7 - "Day of the Dove" Oct 10, 2013

Show notes

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Day of the Dove," St. Elmo's fire forces a fight between a ship of Klingons and the crew of the Enterprise. St. Elmo's fire as in a ball of lightning, not the movie from the 1980s. That would be an AMAZING episode of Star Trek. Anyway, we're on the verge of war. But why? And what can be done?

Star Trek: The Original Series, Season 3, Episode 6 - "Spectre of the Gun" Oct 03, 2013

Show notes

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Spectre of the Gun," it's "Tombstone" meets "Forbidden Planet." It's "My Darling Clementine" meets "This Island Earth." William Shatner plays Captain Kirk playing Ike Clanton against his will. All he wanted to do was talk. Instead, he has to survive being hunted by Wyatt Earp.

Star Trek: The Original Series, Season 3, Episode 5 - "Is There In Truth No Beauty" Sep 26, 2013

Show notes

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Is There In Truth No Beauty," the ugliest thing almost no one has ever seen - a Medusan - is brought aboard the Enterprise. His handler is gorgeous, and not just a little nutty. Smiling Spock makes an appearance, and we know things won't go totally smooth.

Star Trek: The Original Series, Season 3, Episode 3 - "The Paradise Syndrome" Sep 12, 2013

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "The Paradise Syndrome," amnesia! Ancient technology! Asteroids! Hardly sounds tranquil, but it's everything a forgetful Jim Kirk could ever want.
