Need a concrete example for why the prime directive is so important? Alternatively, looking for any sort of contrivance to watch Captain Kirk and Commander Spock dress up as sexy gangsters? Whichever is your pleasure you will get served nicely in ‘A Piece of the Action,’ episode 17 of the original Star Trek’s second season. Join your fawning fedora fan hosts as they debate the morality of interstellar interference, the difference between art and dogma, and the sheer joy of William Shatner’s acting in this episode.

Next week: We investigate the time-cycling shenanigans of one Harcourt Fenton Mudd in ‘Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad’ – the seventh episode of Star Trek: Discovery’s first season.

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
