“That Which Survives” (Star Trek: The Original Series S3 Ep17)
Kirk just can’t fall in love with a line, Ira fondly remembers watching the SNL “Best of” videos back in the day, and Bones can’t stop talking about cells getting “blasted.”
“The Mark of Gideon” (Star Trek: The Original Series S3 Ep16)
Breaking News: Kirk gets another girlfriend! This time she’s sick, Kirk finds himself on an empty ship…but there are terrifying faces in the windows. Creepy.
“Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” (Star Trek: The Original Series S3 Ep15)
This episode is definitely about race, that much certain. It’s also about Ira directing Josh to the bathroom on the Enterprise-D, Josh fantasized about decking Chakotay on the bridge, and we watch some really oily, sweaty face make-up.
“Whom Gods Destroy” (Star Trek: The Original Series S3 Ep14)
For the second time, the Enterprise crew find themselves trapped in an insane asylum. This time, there’re fake Spocks, surprise explosions, and that sweet, sweet feeling of unpredictability. Also, Josh confesses he’s watched Galaxy Quest, one of the best “Trek” movies...
“Elaan of Troyius” (Star Trek: The Original Series S3 Ep13)
Trek goes “Taming the Shrew” on us, complete with all the problematic themes, Josh describes his love of Voyager and Deep Space Nine, and we discuss what “soiling” means (hint: it’s poop).
“The Empath” (Star Trek: The Original Series S3 Ep12)
Kirk finds himself a mint-condition Ozaba in his retro strawberry mento uniform, Spock can’t be contained by emotional force-fields, and Josh & Ira consider the inevitable point in human history where candybars are removed from society.
“Wink of an Eye” (Star Trek: The Original Series S3 Ep11)
Kirk gets sped up really, really fast, Josh reminds everyone “you have no idea who you are,” and Ira tries to find the sweet spot in the car-boat of life
“Plato’s Stepchildren” (Star Trek: The Original Series S3 Ep10)
Evil Greek aliens, oh my! The boys consider how far pantomime can carry you in a TV episode, things almost get suuuuper dark, and we get the first interracial kiss on TV!
“The Tholian Web” (Star Trek: The Original Series S3 Ep9)
Almost an entire episode without Kirk forces Bones and Spock to get along, we navigate some microphone issues, and the guys remember how hard it was to talk when trying to stop crying as a kid, and the good old days when Star Trek was actually on the TV airwaves.
“For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky” (Star Trek: The Original Series S3 Ep8)
Can the most poetic Trek title of them all live up to its name? The boys find out, Josh imagines a block-sized piece of street art, and Bones FINALLY gets to kiss the girl.
