Episode Description
[Hailing Frequencies Open]
On this episode Treks and Tangents, we break down Operation -- Annihilate!. Also known as the episode where Star Trek decided, “What if the villains were just… really gross?”
These flying brain parasites look like someone weaponized spoiled jellyfish, and somehow they only get worse the closer you look.
Kirk’s racing to save a planet, Spock volunteers for a very questionable science experiment, and meanwhile… Sam Kirk gets the most casual send-off in Starfleet history: left behind in his lab like he’s just part of the set dressing.
Saving the galaxy: easy.
Family funeral services: apparently, not so much.
