70s Trek: Star Trek In The 1970s

One of the reasons Star Trek has always been popular is its use of language.  That can really be seen in its episode titles. There’s something lyrical about them.  They sound like they were pulled from classic works of literature...and in fact, some of them were.   Consider these titles: "For the World is Hollow and I have Touched the Sky." "Requiem for Methuselah." "The City on the Edge of Forever." "The Conscience of the King." They’re not straight forward explanations about each episode.  In Fact, 50 years later, many of these titles still confuse fans. Star Trek's episode titles were unique in the 1960s and continue to be today.  In fact, it is a hallmark of every Trek series to have show titles that sound a bit "high-brow." This week co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto discuss their favorite Star Trek show titles.
