So, who let Sulu have a gun? And why is there a man-sized Rabbit running around? And WHY IS FINNEGAN LIKE 50 YEARS OLD???

Josh contemplates what to say to himself five years ago pre-Trek, we meet the Romulans for the first time, and we talk inspiration.

Ira turns the theme song into “Manamana,” we grapple with morality and “the greater good,” and Josh learns about the meaning of the term “shipping.”

The conclusion to the only two-parter of the Original series!!! Listen to hear if it lives up to the bar set by the first part, and watch to see footage from the original Trek pilot “The Cage.”

Did you know that Kirk is short for Kirkolowitz? Or that Spock and Kirk go back so deep? Or what’s going to happen next in the conclusion???

Josh teaches us all the “Trek Test,” we can’t decide if the titular maneuver is a ship move or some Kirk Kung Fu, and Clint Howard blows our minds.

We decide that Kirk is the Michael Jordan of Star Trek, the spinny light on the ceiling is actually super scary, and a woman finally kicks some ass on the show!

Ira and Josh debate the worthiness of the JJ-verse, Kirk demands “No blah blah blah!,” and Ensign McClenney and Heinichen realize there’s NO ONE LEFT UP ON THE SHIP.

Either someone is or isn’t a Trek fan, Ruk does some impressive quad lifting, and we lose Matthews (R.I.P. 2266 - we’ll never forget)

The boys realize that Shatner and Roddenberry are kindred spirits, break down the logistics of the after-Enterprise house party, and try to figure out what Mudd’s plan actually was to nab Kirk’s ship.
