Episode notes
When a destructive blue cloud is headed toward Earth, Admiral Kirk takes back the Entrepreneur and Spock gets groomed for duty. But when their new navigator starts getting ideas about fashion and wants to merge with the creator, Commander Decker decides how this movie can make things up to him. Which Star Trek Podcasts do we have a red-phone relationship with? Who is the most optimistic character in sci-fi history? How else is Spock like his brother? It’s the episode that’s all fly-bys and long conversations.

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.
