This episode has it all! Aliens, telekinesis, mind control, and....the KISS.
Welcome to Watchers of Tomorrow! A podcast where we go through the world of science fiction television episode by episode, talking about the themes, concepts, ideas, the good, the bad, and the weird. We are great fans of sci-fi and would like to invite you on our journey through the weird and strange worlds that we are to explore… Today’s episode: Is this society of fragile but mentally powerful people a real model of Plato's Republic? Or are they just bullies who can throw their weight around while slapping a useful label on it? Either way, they should probably chill and stop being jerks to the crew and their new friend. ====== Who are we?

This week, the crew encounters a person of short stature, and we're all on the edge of our seats to find out what Philippe is going to say to get us banned from the Internet. Erin smokes us all with her celebrity encounter story. Shawn's favorite moment in The Original Series rears its horsey head, and he celebrates by explaining some pathetic "incel" behavior at least twice.

This week, The Trek Files parallels two memos from different eras. First, we'll look at the specific requests made by NBC Standards about the now-iconic kiss between Kirk and Uhura in "Plato's Stepchildren." Then we'll dig into a Michael Piller memo from nearly a quarter century later about how to handle sexual content on Star Trek. Special guest Rene Echevarria joins Larry this week on The Trek Files.

22. November 1968: Es hätte ein Ausflug ins antike Griechenland werden können, stattdessen erfindet Star Trek ein neues Genre: Spoxploitation! Da vergessen Simon und Sebastian fast, über die historische Kussszene zu reden, die oft das Einzige ist, an das sich Menschen erinnern, wenn sie an diese Episode denken. In Deutschland: Platons Stiefkinder, ausgestrahlt am 25. April 1988.
Evil Greek aliens, oh my! The boys consider how far pantomime can carry you in a TV episode, things almost get suuuuper dark, and we get the first interracial kiss on TV!

The BBC Banned Episodes. When Miri first broadcast in the UK in 1970 it caused such a stir that not only did the BBC take it off the airwaves for decades, but three other episodes (Plato's Stepchildren, The Empath and Whom Gods Destroy) were completely banned until 1990! In this episode of Standard Orbit we explore British vs. American censorship and sensibilities when it comes to entertainment, and what we think might've made these episodes too hot for TV in the UK. Could the graphic depictions of disease and torture have gone too far in Miri and The Empath? Might the legendary interracial kiss between Kirk and Uhura have factored into the decision to ban Plato's Stepchildren? What's so offensive about Whom Gods Destroy? What other notable censorship edits did the BBC make to the episodes the did broadcast? All this as well as Ken and Zach's thoughts on two modern day sitcoms they just can't stand.

The Original Series Season 3 - Essential Trek Philosophy. Season 3 of Star Trek: The Original Series is sometimes criticized for having lost its way without the creative direction of Gene Roddenberry. But in this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling compare their top picks for Essential Trek Philosophy from season three of Star Trek: The Original Series. From philosopher-kings in "Plato's Stepchildren" and philosophical zombies in "Spock's Brain," to the Marxist and collectivist themes in "The Cloud Minders," Mike and Zachary compare their favorite philosophical insights from the final season of Star Trek: The Original Series.

The Paradox of the Philosopher King. In the third-season TOS episode "Plato's Stepchildren," the Platonians claim to have modeled their society on the ideals of the Greek philosopher Plato. Parmen, the leader of the Platonians, even claims to be a philosopher king as described in Plato's dialog, the Republic. In this episode of Meta Treks, find out what the Plutonians got right and what they got wrong about Plato's philosophy. Hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison discuss Plato's Paradox of the Philosopher King in "Plato's Stepchildren" and other places in the Star Trek universe, such as: General Martok as leader of the Klingon High Council, Commander Riker as the captain who wouldn't sit down in the Big Chair, Captain Picard as the captain who wouldn't become an admiral (or a badmiral), and Quark's brother Rom as the unlikeliest candidate for Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance.

In this episode, Mike and Molly renew their hatred for Star Trek polls and move on to tackle TOS episodes "The Tholian Web", "Plato's Stepchildren", and "Wink of an Eye."
CNN remembers "Plato's Stepchildren" (more or less) As part of its current retrospective on the 1960s, CNN highlighted the Original Series episode "Plato's Stepchildren" as an example of how, in that tumultuous decade, "Television [began] to tackle serious issues." As long-time fans know, this third-season episode is best remembered for a moment often touted as network television's first interracial kiss, when the telepathic Platonians force Captain Kirk and Lieutenant Uhura to lock lips. Unfortunately, CNN didn't summarize the episode with 100% accuracy, but it still highlights the importance of Star Trek in breaking new ground. Read the full CNN article, "5 surpising things 1960s TV change." Lost Apollo continues the Five Year Mission in TOS style Since 2009 we've gotten roughly four hours of content from the rebooted J.J. Abrams Star Trek. That's barely one new TV episode per year. At the end of Into Darkness the Enteprise is ready to finally start that famous five-year mission. Of course, we'll never see it in any substance in the theatre. IDW, however, is bringing us the adventure in comic form through the Star Trek Ongoing series. The last issue, "Lost Apollo, Part 1" delivers the goods with a story that feels very reminiscent of The Original Series. Read TrekCore's review by Patrick Hayes.

It’s not dead, Jim: The third season roars back this week. “The Tholian Web” features a new alien menace, growing madness among the crew, a disappearing starship, and Spock and Bones at each other’s throats. “Plato’s Stepchildren” features telekinetic jocks, the first (sic) interracial kiss on television, and a singing Spock. Plus! Scotty gets drunk ...
