Dave returns to the show this week as we set course back to TOS for a Back-Trekking Retrospective on one of the most iconic episodes in all of Trek, “Balance of Terror.” We’ll explore the episode’s Cold War allegory, its powerful themes of prejudice and duty, and how it introduced both the Romulans and Mark Lenard to the franchise. Get ready for a deadly game of starship cat-and-mouse across the Neutral Zone!
As always, available in both video and audio-only formats.
