One Sentence Synopsis
Nurse Chapel’s Ex is a Mad Scientist with a dream, a dream of replacing all humans with androids.
Scene setup
Kirk lands with Nurse Horsey Face Producer’s Squeeze Chapel to meet her ex, Dr. Roger Korby. Trapped on a dead planet, Korby has come up with the brilliant idea to start up the previous owners’ business of exporting androids to serve and replace people. Kirk suspects this is a bad idea once Korby creates a RoboKirk.
But how to stop this terrible business plan?
Kirk devises a dual strategy: first, use Kirkly swagger to confuse the female android about love.
Secondly, sabotage RoboKirk– a VERY popular Trek trope– to create a walking HR violation to raise Spock’s suspicions. Because The Good Captain has proven himself a level headed, effective manager thus far.
Vital Statistics (This episode / series to date)
| What Happened? | This adventure | All time | Notes |
| HR Incident | 1 | 10 | RoboKirk is totally bigoted and contemptuous towards Spock in this episode. Legally, I suppose Kirk is off the hook but I’m still counting it. |
| Shirtless Kirk | 1 | 4.5 | Not even a mad scientist would create RoboKirk from a shirted mold. That’s just wrong. |
| Hookups? | 2 | 4 | Kirk kisses Andrea the Android who is so excited about the feelings that stir deep inside that she kisses Nurse Chapel’s ex. Not a good look. Andrea then tries to hook up with RoboKirk who rejects her advances in Spockian fashion. Andrea kills him for that. Andrea, still desperate for love, tries to hookup with Dr. Korby- who phasers her for the effort. I’m scoring these latter two attempts as a half hookup each for the delicious connection of sex and death. |
| Encounters with exes? | 1 | 2 | Christine’s ex is full of surprises. That what she gets for letting him go. |
| Redshirt Kills? | 2 | 2 | Finally! The Seal is broken, Ladies and Gentlemen! |
| Non Redshirt Kills? | 0 | 9 | Three non redshirted guest actors killed by the salt sucker. |
| Offscreen Federation Kills? | 0 | 74 | |
| Non Federation Kills? | 0 | 171 | No one was truly alive on the planet so no points there… |
