You can listen to the full episode HERE, or you can just hear our comments regarding this single issue below:
For the first time since Star Trek #1, a female crewmember has made it off the ship. Here Uhura is being hit on by George Washington. And right in front of his wife, no less!
Talk about gender neutrality, here Uhura is being beaten by her former admirer. This is a surprise screen for a 1970’s comic aimed at kids.
Another example of Star Trek predicting future: Who would have guessed in 1971 that Anton York would be sweeping the nation in his bid in 2016? Amazing!
Missed opportunity: Should have had Teddy Roosevelt brandishing a club and saying “speak softly, and carry a big stick“. Still, Lincoln, Washington, and Henry VIII is still worth it.
