It's worlds that couldn't be more unalike this episode, but either way Spock is in a mood. First up, Kirk is kidnapped to be the solution to an overpopulation problem while Spock is salty at diplomacy in "The Mark of Gideon." After that, Kirk, McCoy, Sulu, and doomed extra D'Amato are stranded on a rock inhabited only by the specter of its old owner whilst Spock is feeling SUPER pedantic in "That Which Survives."
Also this week: Jake rewrites one episode, Ames tries to solve both of them with cannibalism, and we discuss Kirk's suddenly-sparked libido.
