Content warning: domestic violence

No writer in the history of the medium has a batting average of a thousand, but this last work Gene Roddenberry did for the late ’50s western Jefferson Drum is an especially challenging script from the archive, with messages that are both on-brand and off-brand for Gene, and a rare instance of a western tale that barely fits the show it’s in, let alone the style we’ve come to expect from its writer.

Guest starring Brandon Berhman as Jefferson Drum, and Earl Green as Hank. Hosted by Earl Green and Ashley Thomas
