In this week's episode, Dana and Dan discuss "Catspaw." The guys share listener comments, talk about how this is the only holiday episode in the original series, and discuss how the writing in this show was, to put it mildly, bad.

In this week's episode, Dana and Dan discuss "The Doomsday Machine." The guys share listener comments, talk about a giant planet killer, and whether it's possible for Dana or Dan to do a good Scotty impression. The guys ramble (surprise!) about union actors, how astronauts go to the bathroom in space, and the difference between a solar system and a galaxy (which most 3rd graders would know). And then there is talk about a diaper challenge...

In this week's episode, Dana and Dan discuss "The Apple." The guys share listener comments, discuss the return of the ramble jar, answer the question "what do you think happens when four redshirts beam down to an alien planet," talk about Scotty saving the ship (once again), and lament the fact that Spock is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. They also ramble about Dana's love for pop-tarts and Dan's obsession with Captain Crunch. And then there is all that talk about adult diapers...

In today's episode, Dana and Dan discuss "Mirror, Mirror." The guys talk about how parallel universes come into contact due to an ion storm which, in turn, creates good and evil duplicates of the Enterprise and everyone on board. Dana and Dan also discuss who Spock, Kirk, McCoy, and Scotty would be if they were the Three Stooges and how evil Spock looks great with his goatee. They also wonder why evil Spock didn't transport Kirk into deep space after Kirk goes on and on and on about evil Spock becoming a force for good (by the way, Dana and Dan would definitely have transported Kirk into the cold depths of deep space...).

In today's episode, Dana and Dan discuss "The Changeling." The guys talk about Nomad, a spacecraft sent from Earth in the early 2000s, and how it has become a killing machine. They also discuss how Scotty keeps getting zapped by aliens, Uhura having her mind completely erased, and how Kirk talks a computer to death (again!). Dan is happy with the number of redshirts that die, and Dana likes how McCoy says one of his iconic lines. And then there is talk about whether whales have nipples...

In this bonus episode, Dana and Dan speak with Steve Miller from Riverside, Iowa. Steve came up with the idea to declare Riverside the "Future Birthplace" of Captain James T. Kirk. Steve talks about coming up with the concept, battling with Paramount Pictures, and meeting celebrities from the original series (including William Shatner, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, and others). Steve's stories are amusing, heartfelt, and (as Spock would say) fascinating!
