From new tattoos to new friends (including Star Trek's Randy James!!), Allie and Sarah had a great time as usual at RetroMania 2024 in Aurora, Colorado. Then, when the women of Star Trek are finally given the lead, will they choose a planet full of men or bears? Does this episode make up for the Enterprise stranding Melllvar in the first episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series? Can we please have more Uhura in command?

Humanist Trek ·

2024/04/11

James Kirk, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk walk into a bar. Speaking of, this episode of Star Trek: The Original Series sets the bar pretty high. This week, Kirk and the gang stumble into a scathing indictment on the class inequality in American and around the world. Is capitalism killing us? Are the people who are most subjugated essentially forced to become criminal to survive? Again... why haven't we eaten the rich yet?

When Star Trek revisits the Plane'arium storyline, the proverbial inmates have taken over the asylum led by a shapeshifting madman. Once again questions of rehabilitation, medication, and individual rights and liberty come to the fore. What effect does this new medication have on the inmate?

When Star Trek trades in Cowboy Diplomacy for Marriage Diplomacy, Sarah and Allie find themselves in a very discomforting place. Why is the Federation forcing this woman to go through with the diplomatic marriage she doesn't want? Why are the Klingons even in this episode? What even are those stones in that necklace, anyway?

Did they even try saving any of the other aliens on the other planets in this system? Why don't people just ask for help?

When a bunch of Children of the Corn on a scientific outpost cause their parents to Jim Jones themselves, they call to the guardians of the watchtowers of the East and release "he who walks behind the rows" back into the galaxy. Star Trek continues to be relevant as ever as we question whether innocent followers who don't know any better are just as liable as the evil people pulling the strings?

When the Enterprise crosses into the Romulan DMZ, Spock fingers a Romulan Commander while Kirk steals a cloaking device (treaty be damned). Is it "OK" to do things during war that would otherwise violate your values? Why does this episode seem to say "yes"? Just what does a Vulcan penis look like, anyway?
