59) The Paradise Syndrome

Enterprise Incidents with Scott & Steve - A podcast by Steve Morris & Scott Mantz

Categories:

While performing a quick survey of an idyllic planet doomed for destruction, Captain Kirk goes missing and is knocked unconscious by an advanced alien device, leaving Mr. Spock in command to avert a disastrous asteroid collision. With the Enterprise long gone, Kirk finally comes to, but has lost his memory and is embraced as a god by the planet's primitive inhabitants. Over the course of the next two months, Kirk falls in love and finds happiness with his newfound tribe, but that paradise will be short-lived, unless Spock can figure out a way to deflect the asteroid in time to save the planet. Hailed by many as one of the finest episodes of the third season (if not the entire series), "The Paradise Syndrome" is a beautiful and powerful "Star Trek" classic that's marked by a terrific screenplay, a sublime score, glorious location shooting and stellar performances from the entire cast -- especially William Shatner and guest star Sabrina Scharf as Miramanee.   You can support Enterprise Incidents right here (think of it as a "tip jar"): https://anchor.fm/enterpriseincidents You can follow Enterprise Incidents on social media at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EnterpriseIncidents Twitter: @enterincidents Follow Scott Mantz @moviemantz on Twitter and Instagram Follow Steve Morris @srmorris on Twitter and @srmorris1 on Instagram --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/enterpriseincidents/support
