Happy #FirstContactDay! Tonight we discuss the 10th episode where we find the crew halted in space by a giant Rubik's Cube. This was the first regular episode produced after the two pilots and the first to include DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard McCoy, Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura (in a yellow uniform rather than red) and Grace Lee Whitney as Yeoman Rand.[2] Because episodes were not aired in production order (a trait throughout the entire run of the original series), audiences had already been introduced to these three nine weeks earlier, in the series' debut episode, "The Man Trap".

Tonight Jeff and I talk to AI Bill Shatner and discuss the movies and video games that should never be remade.
