Summary

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "The Enterprise Incident," the Romulans have a new bit of technology called a "cloaking device" (just go with it). Kirk pretends to be crazy, then pretends to be a Romulan to get to it. Meanwhile, Spock pretends to be in love. But is he pretending?

Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray
