Episode: Episode 19 Not A White Whale But A Black Cat
Description: "The Doomsday Machine" hits us over the head with an unsubtle Cold War allegory so we hit back with sex toy jokes, and then "Trek" tries its hand at some light Lovecraft in "Catspaw." Also this week: Captains and Commodores; kitty fighting and fighting a cat; and Monkees and monkeys.
