We're thrilled to welcome back director Ralph Senensky for our deep dive of his sixth and final "Star Trek" episode, the sublime third season classic "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" When the Enterprise is assigned to transport a Federation ambassador back to his homeworld, the mission turns out to be both dangerous and delicate. It's dangerous because the Medusan ambassador's formless appearance must be contained, or the sight of him will drive anyone insane. And it's delicate because the ambassador's devoted aid, Dr. Miranda Jones, has a complex relationship with their accompanying technical specialist, Laurence Marvick, who is smitten with her. When Marvick's jealousy takes a turn for the worst, the Enterprise is sent spiraling out of control into the intergalactic void, where only thing that can save the ship is a fragile mind link between the Medusan ambassador and Mr. Spock. After producing two back-to-back episodes that were among the worst of the series, "Star Trek" rebounded in a big way with "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" In addition to featuring a deeply moving story, the episode if marked by inspired direction from Ralph Senensky, an epic score composed by George Duning and, above all else, magnificent performances from both Leonard Nimoy and guest star Diana Muldaur.

We're thrilled to once again be joined by legendary director Ralph Senensky for our deep dive of his 5th "Star Trek" episode, "Return to Tomorrow." After being lured by a distress signal to a distant planet in an unexplored region of the galaxy, the Enterprise crew encounters the last three surviving members of a long-dead civilization. Led by Sargon, these powerful beings, now housed in receptacles, need the consent of Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. Ann Mulhall to temporarily house their bodies, so they can build android robots for themselves that will permanently host their forces of energy. But the being inhabiting Spock's body has no intention of vacating his flesh-and-blood host, and he will stop at nothing to keep it, even if it means killing Sargon -- and, in effect, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock -- to do it. Despite some inconsistencies and contrivances, "Return to Tomorrow" overcomes its flaws to ultimately succeed as an engaging and entertaining "Star Trek" episode. That's largely due to a number of factors, including a standout performance from Leonard Nimoy, a beautiful score composed by George Duning and, perhaps most of all, the rousing and passionate delivery of Captain Kirk's iconic "Risk is our business!" speech by William Shatner.

We're excited to once again be joined by director Ralph Senensky for our deep dive of "Obsession," the 4th episode of "Star Trek" he directed for The Original Series. After a malevolent force claims the lives of three crewmen, Captain Kirk is convinced that the culprit is the same deadly force that killed 200 crew members from the USS Farragut on his watch as a young lieutenant 11 years before. Among those killed were Kirk's commanding officer, the young son of whom is now serving as an ensign aboard the Enterprise. Driven by guilt and a lust for vengeance, Kirk puts his career on the line and his crew in harm's way in an effort to hunt down and destroy this gaseous creature once and for all before it continues its killer reign of terror across the galaxy. Like "The Doomsday Machine" before it, "Obsession" is another take on "Moby Dick" in space, but this time Kirk is Ahab, and the whale is the gaseous cloud creature from Kirk's past. On every level, "Obsession" holds up as a taut, tense and exciting "Star Trek" classic, and it further deepens the dynamic between Kirk, Spock and McCoy while also featuring superb performances by William Shatner and guest star Stephen Brooks.

We're excited to once again be joined by director Ralph Senensky for our deep dive of "Bread and Circuses," the third "Star Trek" episode he directed, and one that marked a turning point for both the series and the legendary studio that produced it. The search for survivors from a lost survey vessel leads the Enterprise to a planet that closely resembles 20th Century Earth, with one glaring exception -- on this parallel world, the Roman Empire never fell, and slaves are forced to fight in brutal gladiatorial games that are broadcast on national TV. After beaming down to continue their search, Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy are captured by Merik, the former commander of the lost ship who sacrificed his crew in an effort to save his own life. Now Kirk is forced into the same situation, and he must find a way to escape with Spock and McCoy back to the Enterprise without violating the Prime Directive. For an episode that has so much going on, it's surprising that "Bread and Circuses" isn't held in higher regard with relation to the rest of the series. In addition to being an intense, action-packed and ambitious episode, it's also an effective satire of network television that has become even more relevant in the age of reality TV. And it's all perfectly-balanced by returning director Ralph Senensky, resulting in yet another "Star Trek" classic that represents the very best of the series.

We're excited to once again be joined by Ralph Senensky for our deep dive on "Metamorphosis," the second "Star Trek" episode he directed. When the Shuttlecraft Galileo is thrown off course by a powerful field of energy, Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy and Assistant Commissioner Nancy Hedford are forced to make an emergency landing on a small planet in an asteroid belt. But they are not alone. Also marooned there for many years is a man named Zephram Cochrane, who knows a lot more than he is letting on about why they are really there. But time is running out -- Commissioner Hedford must be taken to the Enterprise to be treated for a rare disease, so she can be cured in time to stop a war on a distant planet. But when Kirk's aggressive tactics to escape wind up aggravating the situation even worse, he is forced to re-think his strategy and try a different approach when the true identity of their captor becomes clear. Over the years, "Metamorphosis" has hardly ever been mentioned as being one of "Star Trek's" best episodes. But it should be, because it's a sensitive, brilliantly-written and beautifully-directed story about love, compassion, communication and tolerance that represents what "Star Trek" is all about. And it's bolstered even further by gorgeous cinematography, a sublime musical score and superb performances from William Shatner and guest star Elinor Donahue. Like a fine wine, "Metamorphosis" has aged extremely well, and it has properly come to be reappraised as one of "Star Trek's" finest hours.

We're excited and honored to be joined for our deep dive on "Enterprise Incidents" by Ralph Senensky, who made his "Star Trek" directorial debut with the beloved landmark classic "This Side of Paradise." The Enterprise arrives at the planet Omicron Ceti III, which is being bombarded by deadly Berthold rays, expecting to find no signs of life from the colonists who previously settled there. But to Captain Kirk's surprise, everyone is alive and well -- and extremely healthy -- thanks to the euphoric effect of drug-like spores produced by an alien plant. After the colonists refuse orders to evacuate, the spores quickly spread to infect the crew of the Enterprise, causing them to mutiny and join the colony. That includes the normally loyal and unemotional Mr. Spock, who defies his commanding officer after falling in love with colony botanist Leila Kalomi. Alone on the Enterprise, Captain Kirk must figure out a way to counteract the spores and return his crew to normalcy -- but should he even try, and does he have any right to counteract paradise? As written by Dorothy "D.C." Fontana, "This Side of Paradise" was a brilliant and subtle allegory about the drug counterculture of the 1960s, but it has stood the test of time to triumph as a beautiful, sensitive and deeply moving "Star Trek" masterpiece that features superb performances from William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and exquisite guest star Jill Ireland.

Is There in Truth No Beauty? was the fifth episode of Star Trek's third season to air, with a telepathic envoy's besotted colleague causing problems for the Enterprise. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss the challenges associated with extreme beauty. When a Medusan ambassador, Kollos, comes aboard the Enterprise along with his human envoy Dr. Miranda Jones (Diana Muldaur) and one of the ship's original designers, Larry Marvick (David Frankham) it is the attractive young woman who draws the most attention, rather than the alien described as so hideous the mere sight of him would drive a human insane. It soon transpires that Marvick is jealous of Jones' assignment with the Medusan and, ignoring mandated precautions, he exposes himself to the alien without any barrier.
