🎙️ Federation Friday: Episode Review – “Who Mourns for Adonais?” 🖖

The Enterprise crew meets a god—or at least someone who thinks he’s one—in this mythologically charged installment of Star Trek: The Original Series. Captain Kirk and company find themselves face-to-face with Apollo, the Greek deity himself, who demands worship, obedience, and a permanent stay on his planetary estate. But Kirk didn’t sign up to be anyone’s altar boy.

💥 We break down the classic moments, from that iconic giant glowing space hand, to Scotty’s aggressive crush-defense strategy, to Lt. Uhura doing some unsung engineering magic behind the scenes. Oh, and that gold lamé toga? Absolutely discussed.

Is Apollo a tragic figure with daddy issues, or just the galaxy’s most dramatic cosplayer? Join us as we unpack the god-sized ego, the cultural commentary, and the high drama of this unforgettable Season 2 opener.
