RSS Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Since the last time Dan and Mike recorded, two Star Trek luminaries passed on: the incomparable Leonard Nimoy and visionary producer Harve Bennett. Join the hosts as they pay their respects to these men, then cover two more episodes from the franchise they made the legacy it is today. Those episodes are "The Changeling" (in which Kirk must thwart another super computer) and "Mirror, Mirror" (which sees four members of the crew transported to an alternate reality).

Koete Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 So "archivist" is the new "mythos." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Did I mispronounce archivist?If that's the case, wait 'til BOTI 143 in which I bring back a cross-podcast mispronunciation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 So, in that case it's more like the new Mandragora? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
org Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Re- the episode title for The Changeling- I seem to remember that Kirk references the old fairytale idea of a Changeling being a fairy that disguises itself as a human child and is brought up by parents cuckoo-style, but quite how that relates to Nomad and the episode has always alluded me.

Dan Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 There was a very weak explanation, but it was a huge stretch. It really felt like they thought of a cool title and tried to think of a way to make it fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJRogers Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Eagle eyed Trek fans (BTW, where do you guys stand on the whole Trekkie, Trekker, whatever debate?) will notice there is one Classic Era scene in Deep Space Nine's Trial and Tribbulations episode that was not from The Trouble With Tribbles, and it is the final scene from Mirror, Mirror (a bit of irony considering DS9 was the show that picked up the thread of the Mirror Universe and carried it for a few episodes during its run) where Ben Sisko interacts with Kirk.

Rjoyadet Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 A light went off in my head when you guys suggested that this story sounds good as prose but awful as a film. It is so silly that MST3K tore it apart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8UCWD8NL1U It starts at 3:41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
