    Hah, was that the deus ex machina they ended up going with? I’ll be honest I’ve tried to watch Shore Leave at least 3 times and I don’t think I’ve ever made it to the end. It’s just so silly. Allison Pregler did a pretty funny breakdown of the episode.

      Oh, my gosh. That video is hilarious. Makes the episode 10 times funnier, and it was already beautifully campy to begin with.

      And don’t forget the sequel episode in TAS, in which the planet tries to kill them because it’s depressed about its creator dying. Although it’s not as hilarious an episode as the one where Captain Kirk literally defends the human rights of Satan.

        Hahaha TAS had some absolutely unhinged episodes, I’m glad I watched it just to see the callbacks in LD. Love that they brought back the three-part alien to do that crew evaluation in the holodecks. Also not just Satan, but needlessly sexy space-wizard Satan.

          Although we haven’t really started it yet beyond session 0 yet, the chief medical officer I made in Star Trek Adventures campaign I have with my siblings is a Pandronian who really hates being asked about the three parts thing.
