Summary
When the Entrepreneur is crossing a space desert on the way to Beta VI, the crew detect an unmapped planet and no one seems interested in stopping by. But after Sulu and Kirk disappear from the bridge, an away team beams down to find their chaos agent poised for an unfair fight. What’s the best lead-in for a Dr. McCoy impression? Who hasn’t seen Sinners? How many things can a sharpie dick mean? It’s the episode that touched the void.
