Pike and M'Benga avoid trying to say the "Z" word. Join your moss-loving hosts as they discuss genre-hoppping plots, hats on hats on hats, and continued additions to the rapidly expanding (if still frustratingly one-dimensional) corpus of Gornlore. Also, there are lists and doody or no doodies and silly voices and listener mail and, perhaps, a digression or two. Importantly, we foo...

Spock teams up with his romantic rival to set things right. Join your engaged hosts as they discuss the value of silly plots for examining not-so-silly emotions, varying views on the incorporation of existing Star Trek lore into this episode, and continuing the franchise's tradition of humiliating the Irish.
