#60: Star Trek: The Original Series, season 3, episode 4 "And the Children Shall Lead"

Written by Edward J. Lakso, directed by Marvin Chomsky.

Stardates 5029.5 through 5041.1 (October 2268)

"The universe will be mine to command, yours to play in." - Gorgan

The Enterprise responds to a distress call form Triacus. When they beam down, they find the entire research team dead, except for one who appears to be paranoid and unable to recognize people before also dropping dead. They are survived only by their children, who are found playing together as though nothing has happened. Not only can Doctor McCoy not understand the motivation for what appears to be mass suicide on the researchers' part, but he is also confused and concerned by the childrens' inability to accept the reality of the situation. Even during a funeral for their own parents, the children can't sit still for a moment before running off to play again. Once back onboard the ship, Nurse Chapel arranges for the children to be cared for until they can be transferred to a Starbase. But they don't want to do anything but play. As Captain Kirk prepares the Enterprise to leave the planet, himself and other crewmembers start to exhibit the same symptoms as the researchers down on Triacus did before they killed themselves.

Originally released: 11 October 1968

#59: Star Trek: The Original Series, season 3, episode 2 "The Enterprise Incident"

Written by D.C. Fontana, directed by John Meredyth Lucas.

Stardates 5027.3 through 5027.4 (October 2268)

"It would be illogical to assume that all conditions remain stable." - Commander Spock

Doctor McCoy is becoming increasingly worried that Captain Kirk is being overworked and is beginning to buckle under the stress of command. As Kirk becomes increasingly short with his crew he suddenly orders the ship to enter Romulan space seemingly without orders to do so. The Enterprise is almost immediately surrounded by a small armada of Romulan ships under the control of a female Romulan Commander. Kirk and Spock are taken aboard her flagship and interrogated. But Spock unexpectedly reveals that Kirk's transgression into Romulan space was of his own accord, which causes him to break and try to attack Spock in anger. Thrown into a Romulan prison cell, Kirk is left suffering from a mental breakdown and in a catatonic state while the Commander sets her eyes on Spock to attempt to lure him over to her side in more ways than one.

I think I saw someone else say he would have to pay about $14 billion.

And still be a three-digit billionaire.

Imagine how much social, education, and medical service a $14 billion state windfall would pay for.

Coming relatively late to the game in 1961, IRELAND's history with the medium of TV is far from being a boring one! Delayed starts, over-investment, terrorist attacks and more! All within the first 25 years of Ireland's main broadcaster, RTÉ being on the air!

The word "INSANE" is overselling it. But considering that Ireland lagged behind, basically started as a cheap copy of British television, and barely had the talent and resources to keep the lights on during the first few decades, RTÉ managed to suffer through all of its growing pains, rose to a few significant challenges that made the world take it seriously, and has a few notable records under its belt.

I am 99.9% sure that Trump wrote a tweet about Barrack Obama back in 2014 or so about how all the bad press about him is proof he’s a bad person.

This also covers loved ones and business partners collecting your full paycheck after you’ve died.
