We finished our review of the last episode of Star Trek The Original Series last night.
One of our friends sent us this board game she created as a gift for making her laugh. We don't make money from the podcast, everything we've earned we turn around and find ways to spend it to thank our listeners. This is the greatest "payment" we could have gotten.

If you listened in to the podcast this weekend, you heard Dan and I disagree on whether or not there was a violation of the Prime Directive in "All Our Yesterdays".
We're leaving it up to our listeners to decide if Kirk and Spock violated the Prime Directive. If you have thoughts on this, please share here on FaceBook or you can call and leave a message on the Damnit Jim phone line: 509-676-6298.

Listen in today as we discuss "All Our Yesterdays". Dan and Dana discuss the plight of Spock eating animal flesh and we both confess to having been vegetarians at some point in time.

This Friday, we discuss Episode 23, of season 3: "All Our Yesterdays". Dan and Dana believe this might be one of the best Star Trek episodes of season 3. We talk a little about time travel and CDs and Laser Discs, the pick-pocket who (or is it "whom") Dan can't understand a word she says and then there's Spock reverting to ancestors barbaric ways.... As always, there's something for everyone.

Here is the . The guys also wonder if McCoy is the father of an alien child, how Kirk and Spock can make bows and arrows so quickly, and why Dana is so enthralled with the guest actress Julie Newmar, who is still alive -- and we would love to get her on the show!
