#247 - 'The Corbomite Maneuver' TOS S1E10

Things go down hill fast after Doctor McCoy puts Captain Kirk on a diet. Join your lettuce-nibbling hosts as they discuss the deft dance between character development and plot movement, admire the many roles of Sir Clinton Howard, and revel in the unhinged mania of a near-death Lieutenant Bailey. Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware! Next week: We will discuss the series finale of Star Trek: The Animated Series, "The Counter-Clock Incident" followed by a retrospective discussion of TAS and its place in the larger Star Trek universe. Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
