A classic show covering the TOS episode, "Elaan of Troyius." I also talk about a cool Trek web series, some movie news and much more. Hope you enjoy the podcast!

I remember this one - and never liked it when I was a kid.  Have to check it out again.

This is a favorite episode for one reason... space battle!
The Enterprise is in a tight spot and we see Kirks battle tactics.

Okay, maybe two reasons... the beautiful alien princess turns the tables on Kirk by working her mojo on him. :)

Best line: McCoy to Spock "The women on your planet are logical. That's the only planet in this galaxy that can make that claim."


Season 2 of Enterprise tried the same plot when Commander Tucker is kidnapped and then escapes with a spoiled and beautiful alien princess.
Blah - it fell flat, what were they thinking!

Yeah, I forgot about that somewhat similar Enterprise episode.  Good comparison.
