Latest / A Star to Steer Her By
Episode 21 Set Phasers To Picante
We've got another week of doubling up! Two DC Fontana scripts bring us two stories driven by mineral rights and featuring two occasions of Kirk being rather rubbish at diplomacy. Luckily, both times he's got someone there that's better at it than him. In "Journey to Babel" it's Sarek, Vulcan ambassador and Spock's father, and in "Friday's Child" it is, remarkably, the usually-irascible Bones acting as the cooler head. Also this week: Chris can't say Orion, minor "Game of Thrones" spoilers, and Shat hair chat. Timestamps: synopses: 0:30; Journey to Babel: 6:18; Friday's Child: 37:16
