Star Trek Halloween Spock’s Catspaw

Even Mr. Spock could be catty in this one.

Last night, we celebrated Roy’s 50th episode with a discussion of the classic “Star Trek” Halloween episode “Catspaw,” and some Johnnie Walker Red.

On Friday, we’ll be joined by special guest (and Roy’s wife) Shari Bethman-Bjellquist, as we make a meal of “Soylent Green” (1972); and then on Sunday, Roy and I will be back in the saddle for one of my personal Halloween favorites, “The Devil Rides Out” (1968), starring the great Christopher Lee.

Get ready for some serious hooves-on-hooves action. Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner live-streams on Facebook every Friday and Sunday at 7 pm EDT!

Star Trek Catspaw 50th Episode Celebration

Trekker treat!

Roy Bjellquist and I will celebrate the 50th episode of “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner” – and round out an all-television weekend (which began on Friday with an exhaustive discussion of the cult series “Kolchak: The Night Stalker”) – with a conversation about the classic “Star Trek” Halloween episode, “Catspaw.”

In this seventh installment of “Star Trek” Season Two, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beam down to a mysterious planet wreathed in fog, to encounter witches, a haunted castle, a black cat, a warlock, a “transmuter,” and a couple of very unsettling puppets. Robert Bloch, author of “Psycho,” adapted the teleplay from his 1957 story “Broomstick Ride.” He also happens to give Spock some pretty good one-liners.

Set phasers for 50! I hope you’ll be able to join us in raising a glass of Romulan ale to the 50th episode of Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, live-streamed on Facebook, this Sunday evening at 7:00 EDT.
