46 (1968) - 10/10
A Private Little War, teleplay by .

1️⃣ One of the most exciting episodes. The action is non-stop. Spock is shot early on and sits out the rest of the story. Then Kirk is attacked by a creature and nearly dies. Near the end, McCoy is wounded in a gun battle. And there are several similar battles throughout. It's a crazy amount of violence for one hour of TV.

2️⃣ It's also one of the most thoughtful episodes. And among the bleakest.

44 (1968) - 10/10
Bread and Circuses, written by and .

1️⃣ When I think of this is the kind of episode that springs to mind. One with a culture and development that parallels Earth in some way.

2️⃣ Great villains in this one. Merik and Claudius are terrific characters. Merik gets a strong arc. As does Flavius. Worth noting that the villains win in this one, or at least Claudius and his society will continue as before. For now.

@VeronicaMBMonks Highly recommend . The first season is a little rough in places, but no more so than the first seasons of TNG or DS9. Many of the overarching themes in have striking applicability to today.

I've also been working my way through for the first time. Produced by using notes from her late husband , it is pretty decent and free to watch! tubitv.com/series/2194/earth-f

Also enjoy , , , & !

Just rewatching one of the most forgotten 's series (at least it's credited to him...)
It has a great plot but it needs more quality.

I found a curious connection in 1956: That year starred in Forbidden Planet and --a WWII infantryman and pilot who a decade later played Scotty on --starred in a Canadian live television play called Flight into Danger; the following year, it was remade a few times, including into a 1957 feature film called Zero Hour!, which was parodied in the 1980 film Airplane!, starring Leslie Nielsen.

Also, before creating Star Trek, had been an airline pilot for and in 1947 crashed in the Syrian desert.

This is literally why we started this podcast! Gene’s humanism informed his storytelling. Yes was a product of its time, clearly evidenced by its sexism and racism, but the whole point was to say that we can be better.

"Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms."
- Gene Roddenberry

Hello all! I just got my personal and trek-based accounts set up on 1701 Home. I hope to provide a place for people to share all their trek-based , and with an option of having an account to post any other life events you would like to share that might not happen to be based. Help me shape this new instance in something Gene Roddenberry would be proud of!

-Live long and prosper
