Captain Kirk’s ghost spooks the crew. Join your interphasic hosts as they praise the writers for examining Spock and McCoy’s relationship by removing Kirk from the equation, discuss how this episode is connected to the larger Star Trek universe, and debate the viability of the Tholians’ languid plan.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We slip into a slightly-sideways dimension with Geordi, Ro, and a rascally Romulan in Star Trek: TNG’s “The Next Phase”

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.
