236: Star Trek TOS, “Way to Eden”

from Trek In Time

One five-minute scene made Matt sit up: a man flatly refuses to accept he carries a deadly disease, and it feels ripped from 2026. Matt and Sean talk about the accidental anti-vax parable buried in Star Trek TOS Season 3, Episode 20, "The Way to Eden." Space hippies hijack the Enterprise chasing paradise, and one man's denial of the science reads very differently today. So is this clunker secretly ahead of its time? Or does the DayGlo nonsense smother the one idea worth keeping?Chapters:00:00: Intro02:37: Mailbag04:17: Today’s Episode05:04: This Time in History10:46: Today’s DiscussionWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFpvsIgEOowSupport the show directly: https://trekintime.show/join/Audio version of the podcast: https://www.trekintime.showYouTube version of the podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@TrekinTimeGet in touch: https://trekintime.show/contact/Follow us on: Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@mattferrell Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/mattferrell.bsky.social Undecided with Matt Ferrell: https://www.youtube.com/@undecidedtechnology Hosted on Acast.
