Friday's Child (TOS - S2E11)

Send us Fan Mail[Hailing Frequencies Open]This week on Treks and Tangents, we’re trekking through Friday’s Child, where the Enterprise arrives on Capella IV to negotiate for valuable minerals and instead finds a Klingon rival, a deadly coup, a pregnant leader’s widow, and enough running through rocky terrain to qualify as a Starfleet fitness test.McCoy finally gets a chance to shine... though mostly as an unwilling obstetrician and accidental baby daddy, while Kirk and Spock build primitive weapons, Scotty chases fake distress calls, and everyone struggles with Capellan customs, questionable choreography, and some truly majestic space-pony fashion. Is this an underrated McCoy episode, or a chaotic pile of unanswered questions wearing a feathered cape?[End Transmission]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
