When Commander Data is the only officer able to execute an evacuation mission, he finds the people unwilling to leave. Meanwhile, Picard pores over hundreds of treaty pages looking for a loophole. Will Data convince the settlers to leave before they're killed by the Sheliak? Will Picard convince the Sheliak to give him an extension? Just what type of batteries does a Soong-type vibrator take?

Data spends weeks communicating with a young girl on the internet and learns that her planet is destroying itself. Thankful that Chris Hansen isn't there when they arrive, Data breaks the Prime Directive and probably several Secondary Directives to save his new underage friend. Where is the line when it comes to saving lives? Why is Data more human than everyone else all of a sudden? And why is everyone so quick to perform a memory wipe on an alien child without consent?

When Kirk suffers from amnesia, will the big Manhattan musical go on? How many awful "native American" tropes can one 1960's TV series cram into one episode? Is the transporter a killing machine? Find out this week on Humanist Trek!

When the Enterprise crosses into the Romulan DMZ, Spock fingers a Romulan Commander while Kirk steals a cloaking device (treaty be damned). Is it "OK" to do things during war that would otherwise violate your values? Why does this episode seem to say "yes"? Just what does a Vulcan penis look like, anyway?   Play along with our Starfleet Academy Cadet Challenge -- Share this episode using the hashtag #StarfleetChallenge on social media!   Visit our website at humanisttrek.com

How much do we even remember from Season 2?  And what do we have to look forward to next season?

What's Allie's great idea? Is Data's cat Spot canonically also a hot chick? Why do time travelers always act powerless? Will Kirk allow Marty to make sure his parents bang at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance? What are the rules of time travel anyway? How short can a miniskirt get? This episode asks more questions than it answers.

The TOS writers once again explore the idea "What would have happened if 'x' hadn't fallen?" Not 1920's Chicago. Not Nazi Germany. No, this episode of Star Trek: The Original Series begs the question, "Men: How often do you think about the Roman Empire?"

People's fear of automation operates on "Sarah's Pendulum Theory of Everything". In the 60's? Vehicle Manufacturing. Today? AI. Can AI and the like coexist with capitalism or will ChatGPT take over the starship and start torpedoing the shit out of everything?
