Tonight we watched an exceptionally silly episode of Star Trek, in which Kirk and the crew have to outwit a planet full of humanoids who model their entire society off of the Chicago mobs of 1920s Earth (right?).

I especially liked the "Fizbin" scene below, not just because the Kirk/Spock interactions are hilarious and Bones karate chops a guy...

...but because it reminded me of when the Monkees trick a guard by playing "Creebage" in The Frodis Caper (trippiest Monkees episode ever, btw. Watch at your own discretion).

Oh man. 60s TV is the greatest. Mark this one down as another "Nikki finds a way to relate two completely different things to each other" post and let's call it a night.
