Ryan and Brady dig into this classic Star Trek episode to judge if it's worth basing a movie on. We find some pretty retrograde views on women (though certainly not the worst we've seen from the original series) and a pretty rockin' performance from Ricardo Montalban. Throw in a couple of really good scenes from Bones and Uhura and one very strange, (accidentally?) resonant rumination on how humanity lionizes its greatest killers, and you have a solid outing on your hands. Hopefully you think that about our episode, too.
