This weekend I cover a TOS episode from season one that I haven’t gotten to yet.\u00a0 The episode is called “Dagger of the Mind” and is a different type of Trek tale.\u00a0 I cover this one with just audio clips and some commentary from myself.\u00a0 But first, I chat briefly about my job situation (which changed again).\u00a0 I also talk about all the great Sci-Fi I’ve been enjoying on TV and what I’m looking forward to at the movies in the next few weeks.\u00a0 Been really liking the recent episodes that have been airing on shows such as:\u00a0 “Dollhouse”, “Stargate: Universe”, “Clone Wars”, “Fringe”, “Smallville” and many more.\u00a0 So check some of these shows out when you get the chance.\u00a0 Not a lot going on with Trek right now, but you can read that movie scene they were thinking of doing with William Shatner HERE<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s an interesting read and nice scene, but ultimately not probably really needed for the recent movie.<\/p>\n

Then I move on to the episode discussion.\u00a0 “Dagger of the Mind”<\/a> is actually one of the episodes from season one of TOS that isn’t really a big favorite of mine.\u00a0 I think the guest stars are good and the story ok, but I think there are some holes in the plot and some things that are hard to swallow.\u00a0 This episode introduces us to a few things like Dr. Helen Noel, the Vulcan mind meld, and penal colonies in the Federation.\u00a0 I think the episode is kind of unique and splits the story and cast a bit, with Kirk and Dr. Noel down on the planet and Spock and McCoy back up on the ship investigating things still.\u00a0 I do enjoy some of the moments in the episode and it has some odd ideas about mental health that I find a bit strange right now in the year 2009.\u00a0 But, it’s fun still to watch again and share some info with all of you about the story.<\/p>\n

I wrap up the podcast with a real quick look at a collectible.\u00a0 It’s the Delorean Time Machine car as seen in “Back to the Future II.”\u00a0 It’s a cool 1:15 scale car and lights up and even has sounds from the movie too.\u00a0 The doors swing up and it’s got a really detailed interior.\u00a0 I still have mine in the box, but here is a picture from Entertainment Earth<\/a> of the item made by Diamond Select.\u00a0 It looks to be sold out currently, but check eBay or other sites for a possible one to purchase.\u00a0 It’s a great item and well worth getting if you enjoy this set of movies.<\/p>\n

That about wraps things up this weekend folks.\u00a0 Next weekend I’ll be doing a podcast covering the first Indy movie, “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”\u00a0 Been wanting to cover all the Indy movies for awhile now, so I’m starting next weekend.\u00a0 Take care until then and I’ll talk to you again then.<\/p>\n
