Cinemondo Explores: ARENA

ARENA is one of those episodes of the original Star Trek series that everyone remembers. Kirk fighting the Gorn on the asteroid with the cool angular rock formations. It’s the one where he cleverly identifies some various elements and minerals and builds a radio out of coconuts… no wait… wrong 60s TV series. Kirk does his best when what he can find lying around, but there’s so much more to this episode. There’s an attack on a destroyed outpost, some fun ops on the bridge, and that exciting battle between the two starship captains staged by the superior beings. It’s an episode with everything. Kathy, Mark, and Burk are once again joined by our friend and Star Trek 

Written by Gene L. Coon (based on a 1944 short story of the same name by Fredric Brown) and directed by Joseph Pevne.
