Court Martial (Star Trek TOS - S1E21)

Send us Fan MailWhen Captain Kirk is hauled into a Starfleet courtroom for allegedly leaving a crewman to die, things get tense faster than a redshirt on an away mission.This week on Treks and Tangents, we dive into Court Martial, the episode where Kirk swaps his captain’s chair for the defendant’s chair. There’s dramatic testimony, suspicious computer records, and at least one moment where you can practically hear Bones muttering, “I’m a doctor, not a lawyer.”Is Kirk guilty? Is the Enterprise haunted by bad data? And how does 23rd-century justice still involve so much standing around in very dramatic lighting?Join us as we object, overrule, and boldly go where no legal drama has gone before.Support the showTreks and Tangents - A Star Trek Watchalong PodcastPatreon: Patreon.com/TreksAndTangentsX: X.com/Treks_TangentsInstagram: Instagram.com/TreksAndTangentsBlueSky: TreksAndTangents.bsky.socialCo-Host JaciInstagram: Instagram.com/JibboomWhatNot: WhatNot.com/GlitterBowBoutiqueCo-Host BrianTwitch: Twitch.tv/PiratePoundTownYouTube Main: Youtube.com/@PiratePoundTownYouTube Second: Youtube.com/@PirateTreasureHuntingBlue Sky: PiratePoundTown.bsky.socialInstagram: Instagram.com/PineappleCannibal
