The Corbomite Maneuver

The Cinemondo Tranya tasting party - along with our Special Guest Mark Maddox, beams over to the Fesarius to explore THE CORBOMITE MANEUVER. I think it’s pretty clear that this is one of the true classics of the series. Great writing, directing and fantastic performances by the whole crew. It was the first of the regular episodes to be filmed (aside from the 2 pilot episodes) and it really does a great job of introducing the Enterprise and the crew. The character interplay is great, and the story is one of the very best alien encounters episodes. Kirk and crew take a big chance with a vasty superior alien entity known as Commander Balok, whose distorted and scowling visage reminds Mr. Spock of his beloved father. Join us for an in-depth look at this favorite episode.
