Maman! Hey, Maman! I'm glad we caught you! I wanted to invite you to take a trip with Effie and myself to New York City of 1968. Specifically 811 East 68th Street, Apt 12B – a quite extraordinary apartment with an exceptional new tenant – Class 1 supervisor 194 – Codename: Gary Seven. He, his "cat" Isis and his secretary Roberta Lincoln will be taking over the season 2 finale of Star Trek – and while they were making it, they may have even thought it would the series finale.

From fedoras to tommy guns, the Iotians built an entire society modeled after 1920s gangland culture, maman.
