Chris from @firstflightpod.bsky.social is back for the absolute classic TOS episode Amok Time.

I love @shelfnerds.bsky.social’s insight and intelligence to this and other episodes. If you can handle more than 365 seconds, head to First Flight and give him a listen!

I just finished a rewatch of The Wrath of Khan. There are reasons it still echoes throughout the franchise as peak #StarTrek.

1. Universal character conflict: Kirk’s fear of aging, of becoming useless
2. Montalban’s searing, primal performance
3. Kirk’s renewal despite facing death
4. James Horner

NEW! You can’t be afraid of the wind or the new TrekRanks as we salute Enterprise's heroic NX-01 captain with the “Top 5 Archer Episodes.” From “Broken Bow” to “Terra Prime” & all the temporal shenanigans in between, we cover it all in this very special episode!
🔊 www.trekranks.com/trekranks-podcast
Artwork for the 221st episode of TrekRanks featuring the "Top 5 Archer Episodes." Images include the TrekRanks logo in the upper left corner and an image of him in his dress whites from "These Are the Voyages" top center. Next to that is an image of Archer in his quarters on his bed with his dog Porthos. Across the bottom row from left to right are images of Archer in his captain's chair, in his EV Suit, in cowboy garb (from "North Star") and looking rather pissed off with the Enterprise J in the background from "Azati Prime." As always, to keep you guessing, remember that the episodes reflected in photos here include some choices that were featured in this episode of TrekRanks, some choices that were maybe mentioned in our "Secondary Systems" section of the show, and some choices that weren't mentioned at all.

**🚀🖖NEW EPISODE ALERT🖖🚀**

It’s time to go “Home” with the NX-01 crew, meet Captain Hernandez, T’Pol’s mom, and examine the aftermath of the Xindi attack on Earth—and that’s just scratching the surface of this excellent episode of Enterprise! As Archer would say, let’s go!
