Episode 70: Kool-Aid Jacuzzi (S3E23)

25th September 2016

When a legendary Vulcan diplomat starts acting strangely ahead of an important conference, the Enterprise crew chalks it up to old age. But when his brand of mental disability becomes contagious, glass tables around the ship aren’t the only thing in jeopardy. Can we workshop a worse throw-to-title scene? Is this episode “canonical Ghostbusters 2”? What happens to a kid at a bar fight? It’s the episode where we learn, “Never mind-meld with your heroes.”

About the show

The Greatest Generation is a comedy podcast about Star Trek, beloved by everyone from people who’ve never seen an episode to hardcore nerds who are fluent in Klingon.

Once a week Benjamin Ahr Harrison and Adam Pranica watch an episode of Star Trek and tell you what’s great, what’s bad, and what’s hilarious about the show they grew up loving, and still do. It’s a little bit nerdy, a lot filthy, and exposes some of Adam and Ben’s most embarrassing stories from their dorky childhoods.

Check out Greatest Trek, our spinoff about all the new Star Trek series!
