We're excited to welcome award-winning author Alan Dean Foster back aboard "Enterprise Incidents" for our deep dive of "The Slaver Weapon," which Foster adapted -- and greatly expanded upon -- for his 10th and final installment of the landmark "Star Trek Log" book series. Aboard the shuttlecraft Copernicus, Mr. Spock, Lt. Sulu and Lt. Uhura are en route to Starbase 25 with very previous cargo: a stasis box, constructed by a long-dead civilization known as the Slaver Empire. When the box they are carrying emits the presence of a second stasis box nearby, Mr. Spock alters course to the frozen world of Beta Lyrae to retrieve it, only to be captured by the Kzinti, a race of catlike predators who will stop at nothing to keep the contents of the stasis boxes for themselves. Adapted from Larry Niven's own short story "The Soft Weapon," "The Slaver Weapon" is not only a perfect fit for "Star Trek," but it is also one of the most ambitious episodes of "The Animated Series," not to mention the most unique, for it is the only original or animated "Star Trek" episode in which Captain Kirk does not appear (not including "The Cage").

One thing no one can go to bat for, however, is Alan Dean Foster's tossed off, undercooked, overwritten steamer of a novelization. Who is this book even written for, at its 200+ page length and with its SAT prep ten dollar word vocabulary? One of the hardest books to get through any of us have read. John Goodman gets off easy by reporting in on the junior novelization by Dan Jolley, which sounds like a merciful reduction of Foster's sins.

If you're an OG "Star Trek" fan or a member of the Syndication Generation, you know the name Alan Dean Foster. In addition to writing the story for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," he also wrote the 10-volume "Star Trek Log" book series back in the 70s, which adapted (and expanded upon) every episode of "The Animated Series." We're excited and honored to have Foster join us as a special guest for our deep dive of "One of Our Planets is Missing." While exploring the outer fringes of the galaxy, the Enterprise encounters a giant cloud that has the ability to consume everything in its path. Next on that path is the planet Mantilles, the most remote world in Federation space and inhabited by 82 million people. Compounding the issue is Mr. Spock's discovery that the cloud is an intelligent life form, and destroying it would be a crime against science. With time running out (and in more ways than one), the Enterprise crew must figure out a way to communicate with the cloud and stop its path of destruction, or Captain Kirk will be forced to destroy it. Written by veteran "Star Trek" director Marc Daniels, "One of Our Planets is Missing" is a quintessential "Star Trek" adventure that lives up to the high standards established by "The Original Series." In addition to being a race against time to stop a massive destructive force from posing a threat to the galaxy (like "The Doomsday Machine"), the episode also explores the burden of command on Captain Kirk (like "Balance of Terror") and the importance of communication with a misunderstood antagonist (like "The Devil in the Dark"). And it does all of this in just 24 minutes (and that's with the opening and closing credits). If there's any episode of "The Animated Series" that says what "Star Trek" is all about, it's this one.

So, the government really did bug Edda's bikini bottoms. And her response to that is to dangle her recently removed bikini from a window to confuse the agents of the Creepy National Furtiveness Agency (you know, the CNFA). Somehow, Edda knows to lower the bikini bottom down to the open window (she knows it's open somehow?) where two children are talking about inflatable office buildings. As if "inflatable office building" is a toy that children can buy and/or would be interested in for some reason. The children talking about "blowing up" these inflatable buildings convinces the CNFA that actual buildings are being exploded. So they arrest Amos & Edda (hooray!) only to let them go immediately (boo!). They explain that they overheard the plot on Edda's bugged bikini bottom. Edda, wearing a dress, explains that she is not in fact wearing her bikini bottom under her dress. Because that is something that needs to be clarified. Edda talking about not wearing her bikini bottom convinces the CNFA agents that she's likely not wearing underwear, I guess. So it short circuits their brains, because that's what women talking about undergarments does to men ALWAYS. Edda & Amos leave the short-circuited agents in their apartment and go to dinner. And at dinner, Edda tells Amos she's not wearing her bikini bottom and that short-circuits him too. Because men are incapable of hearing about undergarments without being paralyzed. Fun stuff!
