The Squire of Gothos (TOS) The A-Story:  Oops, not that. I’ve never read David’s Q-Squared, but Trelane being a Q is one of the few retcons that kinda makes sense. Rewatching The Squire of Gothos, it’s also evident that Encounter … Continue reading You Talking Trek to Me?

The Conscience of the King (TOS) The A-Story: Kirk struggles with notions of justice and vengeance in investigating if a traveling actor is actually the mass murdering Kodos the Executioner. I don’t really see the resemblance: I’ll admit I was really … Continue reading You Talking Trek to Me?
