Introduction
The Enterprise crew travel to Deneva, a Federation colony and home to Captain Kirk's brother Sam and his family.

This episode is a sad let down from the previous City on the Edge of Forever. Hokey effects and pacing issues drag this episode down to a 2 from both of us for a total of 4. The best part of this episode is the interesting typographic choices in the title. A whimper of an ending to an otherwise bang-filled first season. Our next post will be recapping some thoughts on the first season of Star Trek, but for now, enjoy the episode and the podcast.
