    Dan and Kevin get to talk about one of, if not the most, famous Star Trek episode ever made. They also chat about the late Gil Gerard, Ralph Senesky, and how Harlan Ellison couldn't let go of a grudge. Not only is City on the Edge of Forever a famous episode, but the story behind it's creation is just as famous as what you see on screen. Kevin also talks about how this could be connected to Man in the High Castle!

    Dan and Kevin list the many reasons why this episode is a notorious dud from the first season, including Kirk becoming the dumb captain, Lazarus' beard that keeps changing shape, and why if you're not feeling well, maybe just stay the hell away from the edge of cliffs.

    Kevin and Dan talk about one of the seminal episodes of all of Star Trek--Errand of Mercy, which introduced one of the best sci-fi protagonists of all time--the Klingons. They also talk about the Cold War influenced story line and why guest star John Colicos became a legend in two different classic sci-fi franchises--Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. And why maybe Kirk and Spock need to better pay attention to some of the small details.
