Written by Barry Trivers, directed by Gerd Oswald.

Stardates 2817.6 through 2819.8 (August 2267)

"I no longer treasure life, not even my own." - Kodos

The Enterprise is diverted from its course by Doctor Thomas Leighton (William Sargent), a childhood friend of Kirk's, simply to watch a performance of Macbeth. Doctor Leighton explains that he believes the lead actor, Anton Karidian (Arnold Moss), to be none other than Kodos the Executioner; a colonial governor that was responsible for killing over 4,000 people after the planet suffered a blight that caused a severe food shortage. Kirk is extremely skeptical of Doctor Leighton's accusation despite having been there with him all those years ago. Kodos was suppose to be dead. But once Doctor Leighton turns up dead himself, Kirk arranges to have Karidian and his troupe travel to their next destination as guests onboard the Enterprise in order to give him time to conduct his own investigation.

"Can you imagine the mind emptied by that thing? Without even a tormentor for company." - Captain James Kirk

The Enterprise is sending and receiving supplies between the Federation penal colony on Tantalus V when a prisoner makes an attempt to escape by stowing away in a cargo container. When subdued, Captain Kirk and Doctor McCoy discover that the escapee is in fact Doctor Simon Van Gelder (Morgan Woodward), part of the colony's staff. The Administrator of the penal colony, Doctor Tristan Adams (James Gregory), explains that Doctor Van Gelder's condition was the result of an accident when he was testing experimental equipment meant to rehabilitate convicts. However Doctor McCoy becomes suspicious of Doctor Adams' story after closely examining the mentally-addled Doctor Van Gelder.

If he really sees himself as Frank Underwood I honestly can't disagree with him. Let's give him a nice, padded Oval Office.

Paramount will apparently be getting Warner Bros. and with it all of DC.

I'm posting this here because I'm worried this is going to have some kind of adverse effect on any new and existing Star Trek (that Paramount's priorities will likely shift to DC).

Do you think this is good or bad (or irrelevant) for Star Trek? Because it feels bad to me.

 

The Minecraft soundtrack. Gamers unite. For an unabashedly left field selection, Jerry takes on one of the most iconic game soundtracks - and it's...different. What are your thoughts on this album? Let us know what we should listen to next.
