Episode Info

Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beam down to a dying planet 3.5 hours before it’s sun goes SUPERNOVA! They want to find out what happened to the planet’s population, who had all disappeared. All but one. Through a unbelievable miscommunication, they couldn’t figure out what happened. Then, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy accidentally went back in time. Apparently the planet’s population retreated into the past – into a past where phasers don’t work, but tricorders do, and you somehow assimilate your culture from that time. What happens? Find out in this episode of Treknologic!

Lt. Kevin Riley preparing to avenge his parents by murdering Kodos the Executioner

Star Trek TOS: The Conscience of the King, TNL Rating: 5/10 Average, running time 1:44.

Join the crew of the USS Relativity in the 31st century as they travel back in time to review the TOS episode The Conscience of the King. The crew will also try to earn a quatload of quatloos by answering historical trivia after the review. So join Captain Chris Sixx, Science Officer Keri, Chief Engineer Mike, and Helmsman Bill for this week’s mission.

This episode’s photo shows an excellent shot of Lt. Kevin Riley sneaking up on Kodos during the play. We thought it was really great to see some of the background characters get more screen time, and this background on Riley was great. Too bad he was only in two episodes.

Star Trek TOS: Journey to Babel, TNL Rating: 9/10 Inspirational, running time 1:31.

Join the crew of the USS Relativity in the 31st century as they travel back in time to review the TOS episode Journey to Babel. The crew will also try to earn quatloos by answering historical trivia after the review. So join Captain Chris Sixx, Science Officer Keri, Chief Engineer Mike, and Helmsman Bill for this week’s mission.

This episode’s photos show’s an amazing and probably unique Kirk-fu move: the Full Facial Butt Smash. Dramatic and insulting at the same time. Brilliant! Here’s a link to the full battle where you can see this move in action (thanks to Kayla Iacovino for having this clip on YouTube). Don’t forget to listen closely to hear a cartoon sound effect when Kirk hits the floor after this attack.

Can anyone make an animated GIF of this??? THANKS OMEGA47!!

Join the crew of the USS Relativity as we discuss Star Trek TOS: Friday’s Child. Captain Chris, Mike, and Bill try to  earn some quatloos playing trivia hosted by Question Master Keri.

This episode’s picture shows Maab, who came to the realization of what being a Teer (leader) really is – it’s a responsibility for the rest of the people. He realizes that he caused the problem, and, to make things better, he sacrifices himself for the good of the people. Spock would say he was very logical.

This episode’s pictures shows the miners beating the redshirts. In particular, note the redshirt on the ground on the right. He is savagely beaten in the head with a pipe at least three times while being held down by two other miners. Surely they should be tried for murder, right?

This episode’s picture is Captain Kirk’s fuzzy hat. Go ahead and click the picture for a bigger view. Yes, this hat has been recycled in way too many movies for its own good. It’s definitely seen better days. Perhaps Shatner had a big head, and this was the only hat that would fit him… However, I must admit. The only time I noticed was when I watched this episode in high definition. But, hey, maybe fuzzy hats were the Iotian’s style!
