In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode Elaan of Troyius, which aired on December 20, 1968, and occurred on Star Date 4373.5
Kirk and crew are playing taxi to Elaan from Elas and an ambassador from Troyius. (She is one of the greatest spoiled brat characters in all of TOS.) Their mission: get everyone safely from point A to point B. Sounds easy, right? Now add Elaan’s near-barbarism, a bit of sabotage, and a hostile Klingon ship. Can Kirk civilize Elaan, evade the Klingons, and keep the Enterprise from blowing up?
