Description
As we return to the world of Star Trek, we tackle a pair of episodes that truly represent the highs and lows of this series, as we experience some top flight Shatner-brand hambone acting, meet a swarthy Irish pimp, and take note of more than a few red flags about how early ST treated its women characters.
