Captain’s Log: Stardate 3842.3



The Trek Cast has returned to the Apocalypse Video airwaves after a lengthy hiatus - just in time…for Thanksgiving. And we thought what better way to celebrate the holiday, than with an awkward family reunion with Spock and his parents. I’m told that Spock hasn’t spoken to his father in eighteen years. I keep asking him about his Daddy issues, but he continues to shoot me down with his usual eye brow raise and glib remark about humans being stupid.



I plan on getting to the bottom of this little family drama, just as soon as I figure out what that spinny disk thing is floating outside my ship, mirroring our every move, and rocking us back and forth with continued laser blasts - all of this, and meanwhile Dr. McCoy performs a dangerous surgical transfusion between Spock and his Father. There’s so many plot twists in this episode, you’ll be shocked it’s not a two parter!



I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me as we try not to slip and call the Tellarites “pig men” are fellow crew members, First Officer Jackie and Lieutenant Michael.



Topics of discussion in this episode include the rare TOS episode that actually delves into the character’s back stories in a meaningful way; we applaud the acting prowess of fan favorite Mark Lenard; and finally, we try to understand what Spock’s beef with Scotty was all about and why he had such an aversion to making him acting Captain of the ship.
