eBay Live Auctions item 1834314676 - Capt. Kirk's Bridge Command Chair. I've been going through a Trek fandom rivival recently, thanks to slow summer TV schedules, the SciFi network, and TiVo. Before every episode, I wave my hand and dismiss the show as mere cheesey fun, with low production values and lousy writing. After every episode, I run out into our apartment complex's courtyard and herald Star Trek as the greatest television show ever made.

Like the one where they pick up a band of singing hippies that subsequently try to take over the ship to get to a planet they call Eden, only to find out when they get there that the grass is highly acidic and the fruit is poisonous; Spock takes a liking to them and jams with them on his Vulcan autoharp ("The Way To Eden").

Or the one where they pick up two people in the middle of a race/class war, where with one of them the left side of his face is white and the right side is black, divided straight down the middle, and the other the right side of his face is white and the left side is black, and they've been chasing each other for 300 years, and when they get the Enterprise to take them home to their home planet, they find out that both races wiped each other out in the war, but they beam down to the desolate planet anyway to fight some more ("Let That Be Your Last Battlefield").

Or the one where there's an plague on the ship and the only cure requires a material only found on a particular planet inhabited by some guy who's really secretive, but it turns out he has a wife that's young and beautiful and has the equivalent of 17 PhD's worth of education or something but never knew true love, and Kirk instantly falls in love with her, and the guy knows but doesn't do anything to stop it, and it turns out she's an android he built because he's immortal and lonely and was born on Earth thousands of years ago, and was actually many influential people in Earth's history (like Brahams), and he lets Kirk fall in love with her to awaken her emotions so she will love him eventually, and by the end Kirk is crushed and McCoy says something about "if only he could forget" and leaves the room, and then Spock mind-melds with Kirk and erases his memory ("Requiem for Methuselah").
