ST01 005: The Man Trap

In this episode:

  • Boy oh boy, the critics really did not like this first episode of Star Trek to premier on TV
  • Uhura gets a great few scenes–is her fourth episode the highlight of her character’s career?
  • We look at the the conflict between the original writer and Roddenberry’s re-writes, and how it resulted in another great Kirk speech
  • Also, I know it’s Nancy CRATER not CARTER. I’m not a bad fan, just a bit dyslexic
