Spock chats with a cloud and Uhura saves the day. Join your cartoonish hosts as they revel in the camp and creativity of the first animated Trek series, discuss the pluses and minuses of the animated format, and analyze the struggle between feminist and patriarchal messaging in old school Trek.

Next week: In preparation for our coverage of Lower Decks, we will be discussing the use of humor (successful and otherwise) in the Star Trek franchise. Contribute to our discussion by sending in your favorite and least favorite moments where Trek tried to be funny!

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.
