756 – Buck Rogers in the 25th Century – Return of the Fighting 69th

Description
Who’d have thunk it? Buck Rogers in the 25th Century decides to tackle issues of ageism, the mental anguish of disabilities, and questions of identity as related to the concept of “fixing” a disability. Or at least, it would have been if the production staff had given this episode much thought.
John and Eugene, on the other hand, give this episode way too much thought as they look at the Return of the Fighting 69th.
