Death Bracket (TOS S1E14)
Description
When the Entrepreneur gets off course with a theatre troupe, the real reason for the diversion is the lead actor might be Trogdor. But after the last remaining witnesses are eliminated one by one, Captain Kirk’s interest in the young daughter of Karidian ends in another theatrical tragedy. When do you get “the executioner” added to your name? How many colony survivors are rocking full face? Who might sneak into a Sesame Street impression? It’s the episode that introduces a new first-time segment!

Adam: The word you were looking for was "scholar," or perhaps "enthusiast." "Speare head" is a term used by no one, because it's fucking stupid. Ben: I would advise you to never, ever, EVER use that term again. I know how you meant it, but it ain't our place to make jokes about THAT slur. NOT. OKAY.
