In which McCoy consoles Kirk, Sulu finds some life signs,  Spock #3 surges into Spock #4, and we theorize what happened to the remains of the Enterprise… 

In which we discuss the different code destructions, if Kirk made the right decision and did he know what he was doing, crazy spectral hands helping flying Klingons, and how emotional this scene is for Chris…

In which we discuss hand held versus rifles in the trek universe, bridge lighting choices, Kruge dialogue, Klingons being non-tactical, and how Klingons have fillings…

In which we discuss the cool burning graphic, villain school stopwatches, the simplicity of the codes used in Starfleet, beaming technology and the signage in the transporter bay…

In which Kruge calls for success, Kirk sets his plan in motion, Chekov reluctantly plays along, and we discuss how difficult it is talking to our computers today...

In which Kruge sends his crew off on a mission, McCoy tries to offer some solace, Kirk recovers way faster than we expected, and we try to do a little ret-conning…
