The new podcast is up now for the week.  I look at this classic TOS episode from the end of season one.  Of course, I also talk some about the Trek teaser trailer and some other geeky topics too.  Enjoy the show folks!

Me too Bryan, it's such a cool sci fi show!   I've had work so I didn't get a chance to send a comment in.   Kind of reminded me of puppet masters.

Just listen to podcast 414 last night on the mp3 player.  I remember watching this episode in reruns in the 70s.  to me it is one of the more classic episodes of the series.  I always thought it was neat that a real locations were used for the secnces showing the science bldg of the colony.  I always wondered where that was, I heard that it was the UCLA science center.  The story is reminisces of the puppet masters, I think that maybe it was were the writer got the inspiration for the story.  overall the episode was a great drama.

Glad you guys liked the podcast and the episode.  Another TOS classic tale!

The flying flapjacks episode was one of my favorites as a kid.

Pretty scary to see everyone on the planet suffering and going nuts, but I also got to see how strong Mr. Spock really was after being stung.

And at the end of the day it was Bones and Spock who saved the planet - Spock totally owned this episode.

I also learned a new term at that young age, "Deus ex machina".
It would have been great for Spock to get a visor or even Bionic eyes. (which could easily been forgotten about in later episodes.)

Realy enjoyed this podcast.  I am a little behind on the casts and it was great to catch up with a TOS favourite.
Thanks Rico!
