Episode Description
[Hailing Frequencies Open]
In this episode of Treks and Tangents, we take on Journey to Babel, an episode packed with diplomacy, family drama, murder mystery, medical crisis, and a suspicious little ship causing big problems.
Spock’s parents, Sarek and Amanda, arrive aboard the Enterprise, giving everyone a front-row seat to Vulcan family tension, finger-touch affection, and Spock’s struggle between duty and family.
We break down why this episode matters to Star Trek history, from the debut of Sarek and Amanda to the first appearance of Andorians and Tellarites... while also asking why nobody thought to take Sarek to an actual hospital.
