    May 21 2026

    Kevin and Dan talk about how this episode serves as a sneak peek at what would become The Motion Picture, which would come out about a decade after this first aired. They also talk about how maybe this isn't the most fun to re-watch, but it does give some insights into parent/child relationships, how Kirk is becoming an expert on talking computers to death, and what must it have been like for Leonard Nimoy to talk like a robot after all the acting experience he had. Nomad-sterilize, Nomad, sterilize, Nomad, sterilize. . . .

  • Amok Time
    Mar 20 2026

    Kevin and Dan talk about one of the seminal episodes of the Original Series, the one the introduced us all to Live Long and Prosper, the Vulcan hand salute, and Dan's favorite weapon of all time, the Lirpa. Kevin talks about how Strange New Worlds has slightly retconned Amok Time, and how the last line that Spock speaks on Vulcan stayed with Leonard Nimoy for the rest of his life. They both talk about why it might be a good idea to figure out what you're getting into before accepting a challenge because, who wants to fight to the death and not know about it? And why, deep down, Stonn is a schmuck.
