HoM: Star Trek - "Day of the Dove" & more

Series 4, Episode 5 - "This alien parasite does love some LARPing." Hello again Federation, warriors of the Klingon Empire and everyone else who enjoys a good podcast. This week our Klingon-focused series continues with a deep look at the TOS episode "Day of the Dove". It's a two-hander this week as D.K is joined again by Trek neophyte and friend of the podcast Will Templar, in our continuing attempt to make a Trekkie out of him, or at least force him to watch a few episodes. No "Hit or Miss" section this week as Will can still count the number of stories he's seen on one hand (for now) but plenty of discussion on this episode, with the dual perspective of a total newbie and a seasoned Trek veteran. Our duo touch on comparisons to Doctor Who (of course), controversial 1960s attitudes, budget restrictions, Star Trek always being "woke", great guest stars, brilliant Shatner acting, iconic imagery, the first appearance of a female Klingon, decent special effects, the infamy of TOS season 3 and more. We wrap up with a stacked audience response section and our usual conclusions and scoring. So put down that magically appearing sword, avoid the hate creature (insert your own joke here) and enjoy this great episode. Apologies for the slight audio distortions at times from D.K, we've made every effort to make your listening as smooth as possible but a little glitching still remains that was unavoidable.
