And so we come to another show, and another Star Trek - The Original Series episode at that. The Man Trap was the first Star Trek episode ever aired. None of us saw that original airing. In fact, 33% of us weren't even born at the time. Didn't stop us from making up for lost time later on.
The recording should be a little bit better this time around than our first failed attempt at this (that we never posted for all the standard reasons, and that, as has been mentioned before, was due to an entirely avoidable set of circumstances that has yet to be fully understood), in that more than one of us was actually recorded. To be perfectly honest however, there is no guarantee that this is, in fact, an improvement.
And we have to apologize for all the long pauses. It has been a long time since we have seen this episode, decades for some, and it may in fact be that none of us have ever seen the unedited version. So we may be a little too busy watching the show and geeking out all over the place to actually get around to speaking. Cuz it's just that good a show. We think. Hope you agree.

Looking forward to hearing your comments.

Oh, we forgot the most important thing, like, ever. If you are to come away from this with anything at all, we hope it will be a fuller appreciation of the vastly underestimated fact that sometimes, a sexy negligee just isn't enough.
Next up: The Corbomite Maneuver. Probably. (And yes, don't worry, we are still gonna do some Guide work. Really soon now. Yeah.)

just listened to and watched your first 2 star trek commentaries/episodes. i LOVED the comedy much better for the man trap! watching star trek reruns since i was a child in the '70's has made it my all-time fave show. i was so excited when i saw your podcasts listed. i look forward to hearing more. i know you said you didn't want anyone to correct you about any of your facts, but i just HAVE to do this this one time. according to leonard nimoy's book "i am spock", it was in the "arena" episode that he and shatner got tinnitis. sorry!
and by the way, here in canada, tos is shown on the space channel every day, but i don't get to watch it as much now that i have kids, so i watch it on my computer as often as i can.
