re: #101 No Malarkey!

Which is why Star Trek was set entirely in space where the crew met new aliens every week to have conflict with. I can’t think of any episodes of the original series set on Earth.*

*Except when they time traveled into the past where conflict did exist.

**which they did when they ran out of wardrobe budget and had to make use of existing stocks of gangster, Cowboy, WW2 or Greco-Roman costuming.
