Trekosophy s03e09: To Kill a Keeler

June 11, 2014

NOTE: Due to unforeseen gaming this weekend, I wasn’t able to get this episode edited and posted in time for the usual 11pm Sunday deadline. I cleared it with Ben, with whom I was gaming at the time, and he gave me the okay to edit and post it a few days later, right before we shot some infected in Left 4 Dead 2. So, here’s our most recent recording, well and truly edited for you listening pleasure.


This time on Trekosophy, you won’t be able to get that mantra out of your head, “Edith Keeler Must Die!” Yes, we make a return visit to the philosophy of time travel—or is this our first visit? I just can’t keep the local continuum straight—to discuss the TOS episode, The City on the Edge of Forever. Was Kirk right to hold back Bones from rescuing Edith Keeler? Which ethical systems agree and which disagree? Find out what we think in this episode!
