A Taste of Armageddon

[missdexterity]

20:48 - 20:49 is one of those moments where spock turns a certain way and i think, "holy shit, zachary quinto is leonard nimoy's mini-me."

[ssgcody]

Why does everyone look like they work for the Queen of Hearts?

[phangirl91]

Always looking forward to any fun poked at Spock at the end. Ho ho ho, he's not human and his third-party perspective on humanity warrants some mild teasing. :P

[peajink]

he got knocked out with a rubber weapon

[Gminor7]

Aye, Scotty! Get 'em lad! Foolish Councilman should know better than to mess with Mr. Scott.

[irvingklaw57]

My favorite episode of them all!

[wardenphil]

At 5:15, I sure do love the way they wear those hats LOL.

[brendanrobertson123]

everytime the advertisment come up im afraid my headphones are going to break

[Salger12]

"Dude, we've been blown up by the computer!" "Shit, we need to walk into the disintegration machine now!"

[AceOfHeart2012]

Ahh, commercial free streaming Star Treks on YouTube. I'm lovin it!

[Supuhstar]

This is why I hate Kirk...

[BigPoppaChump]

Maybe somebody should have told the Eminians that trying to shoot down an orbiting starship using sonic weapons will not work since sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum.

[jkamelo]

"MOOOM, the latest war report got in! We've been hit!"

"Oh well. To the disintegration machine!"

[Masturbov]

The blond chick appears to be wearing sheer-to-waist black pantyhose and a scarf over her breasts. Why can't more women dress like this?

[Masturbov]

The Asian chick in this episode always gives me a hard-on. Great legs!

[Zwei4815]

Dumbest war ever.

[chainbluelightning1]

Spock stops the girl from immolating herself, just one reason why this is one of my favorite episodes. That and Robert Fox, jerkweed ambassador to the stars. Love his character, everything from when they take his Federation yearbook away from him to when he replies in the most polite, almost sedated voice, "You mean, we are to be killed?" And that painting of Eminiar 7, that's better than all of today's computerized effects.

[adrianascitip]

world of warcraft taken WAY to far.

[bucinaus]

The future of the radical left-wing. Kill your own through computer games and call everyone else dirty and barbaric!

[grimjanitor]

@bucinaus hahaha, radical left-wingers don't fight wars, they end them.

[bucinaus]

@grimjanitor

Really? Including Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, and the Viet Cong? Does the mass extermination of your own people (i.e. China, Russia) not qualify as starting a war? Like I alluded to in my previous comment, a radical lefty will kill so as to "cleanse" people because they are uneducated, barbaric and need help. A lefty's motives always seem justified in our pop-culture because it is for "the good of the sheeple". Your comment about "radicals" not starting wars does not make sense.

[bucinaus]

@grimjanitor

And if you want to talk about middle lefties, did not Kennedy and LBJ really escalate that Vietnam thing? Didn't Truman drop the bomb (oh that's right, he ended the war)? Didn't Wilson send us to Europe in 1917? I could go on if you wish but I've made my point enough. Oh yeah, where are we now with Obama? Out of Iraq and in another country; and nobody seems to know why! Everyone (righty or lefty) seems justified to fight wars because it is for the good of all.

[macchappy]

how the fuck do you end up in a situation like that?

[bodasfa]

Man, the costume designers can really work a couple of yards of fabric...LOL

[PanKrato]

The only thing I dislike about TOS is that everybody's so damn grim all the time... except for McCoy of course :P and Spock's just Spock ftw.

[Obobbyss]

Mr. Fox looks like Larry Flynt.

[talltreehill7]

this old stuff is filled with "tinfoil" theory .. 1984 , NWO , animal farm.

pretty goofy in presentation , but thoughtfull in plot .

[SuDokuMaster]

@jonomander...sorry I suck at spelling...I got what he was saying, I just couldn't spell it

[aprlk]

So much for the PRIME DIRECTIVE

[GunboatDebater]

@aprlk Only applies for pre-warp civilizations.

[basserase]

When the guys playing the guards on the planet were handed those hats, they had to be thinking, "Please don't make me wear this. "

[SuDokuMaster]

"You'll stay here and prevent this young lady from emulating herself. Knock her down and sit on her if neccessary. This is a killing situation" Spock, dear sir, you are the best.

"I'm a barbarian. You said it yourself." Kirk, you are a close second.

[jonomander]

@SuDokuMaster I agree, but I think he was using the term "immolate," i.e. "...prevent this young lady from immolating herself." An excellent word not often heard, except when talking to people like Spock... or Data... or medieval history professors.

[SuDokuMaster]

"The best diplomat I know is a fully activated phaser bank" God I love Scotty.

[SuDokuMaster]

"The best diplomat I know is a fully activated phaser bank" God I love Scotty.

[changeling0203]

Jesus. Finally Scottie's nay-saying has come in handy.

[Chazbc]

They should make a ride out of Star Trek.

[jimmyboo121]

Sir, there is a multi-legged creature crawling no your shoulder.

[Lazerus53]

I am the Spock

[miri1186]

Go Scotty!

[miri1186]

Its Barbara Babcock! Love her! Wasn't she also in Plato's Stepchildren?

[hanoc101]

@miri1186 Yep that's her. She was a hotty back in the day

[rahungry]

I get it!......this is like playing battleships XD.

[BondFreek]

@rahungry. Ya, Only you murder real people to avoid real destruction.

[puppetMattster]

Wow! That was a good one!

[JamesTKirkCobain]

ffff

[JamesTKirkCobain]

You see how Kirk kicked that gaurds ass? THat cause he BAD! Yo my man Kirk is one bad ass!

[EverlastingDaydreame]

"Sir, there is a mulit-legged creature crawling on your shoulder." XD

One of Spock's best. lines. ever!

28:47 - You tell him, Scotty! lol

[Phycodemented]

hahahahahaha!!!

oh spock... how i love thee

[niraha]

That girl looks like she's wearing a square iPod

[whippetgirl1]

"We're human beings" Kirks says as he glances at Spock...lol

[gharra7]

well he IS half human

[supah1337B]

the original series is better then TNG,

thenextgen. was just what you watched when you were a kid probably

[Spheremaster0001]

wholly crap they took the MMORPG WAYYYY To far!

[Cat2000Lover]

sir, there is a multi-legged creature growing on your shoulder. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Masturbov]

Yoeman Tamula was so hot! Great legs. I got an instant boner the moment I saw her. Wonder if she used Ben Wah balls back in the day.

[Masturbov]

"Sir, there is a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder.''

Oh, that Spock. One of my favorite lines in the series.

[CapitanBluebeard]

The best diplomat i know is a fully activated phaserbank. lol i love scotty

[kevinFahring1324]

i dont know y but i like TNG better

[aveitre]

TNG is the best. But this is not bad at all.

[kevinFahring1324]

no i still like this episode, i just like data

[plasticvideo]

Mr. Scott is the secret weapon

[superbobfulspiffy]

6:32 Kirk looks over at Spock, and is surprised to find that Spock is looking at him. (Or is that Shatner surprised that Nimoy is looking at him?) hm... either way, a cute little moment. ;)

[iiUseanM4]

we are at war... *cricket chirp*...see? did you see that fusion bomb? *chirp chirp chirp*

[drszusz666]

Not to dis Star Trek (blasphemy!), but how is it that most planets they go to have aliens that look human and speak English?

[KarateKidX]

@drszusz666

Some ancient civilization bred and spread to many planets of course.

[nevet1212]

@drszusz666 upright humanoid creatures? makes sense to me, but the whole speaking English is this multi lingual translator that is explained somehow by someone, but I don't know it.

[iiUseanM4]

over time english was learned by the galaxy and since ancient times the human evolution spread out upon the universe.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

human looking aliens; a TNG episode explained it, humanoid species were "seeded" by a sort of "proto humanoid" alien.

oh yeah, as to why they all speak English, that's Hoshi's doing; that chick named Hoshi was the inventor of the universal translator.

[prreynolds]

Sargon in the TOS episode "Return to Tomorrow" tells of a similar story

The TNG episode you are referring to is "The Chase"

[MrlynMac]

@drszusz666 And why are all the aliens white?

[BondFreek]

@MrlynMac. They arent some are green, some are brown, some are gold, some are blue, some are pigs and some are harry. As for episodes like this one make up is two expensive. As for race of actors um it's the 60's.

[Roadvirus1]

The whole "war by computer" scenario is like a combination of Battleship and Atari's Missile Command.

[amorach]

@XceptingDeniall blup

[XceptingDeniall]

Convoluted logic is still logic.

[kngkrl22]

I don't blame scotty for disobeying orders from the douche bag ambassador, in regards to lowering the sheilds. If I was in Scotty's shoes, I would have done the same.

[FoilFaerie]

hahaha! sir, there is a multilegged creature crawling on your shoulder. *nerve pinch* that was amazing.

[ChibiKiraTora]

"Sir, there is a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder." Nerve pinch!

Yes, Spock is "the man", syfyMango... *nods*

[slightreturn3589]

Sounds like Logan's Run...

[kikioshia]

lol@ 20:42

[syfyMango]

LOL @ 36:12

Knock her down and sit on her... wow...

Spock is the man :D

[Shock1224]

Hawt asian yeoman!

[ImperatorDerGalaxis]

It's somewhat a stupid episode. On the one hand, the aliens are willing to disintegrate their own people so that their war will not come to physical conflict. Then on the other, they are willing to fire on the Enterprise and risk bringing about total destruction for their planet. Really, illogical, as Spock would say.

[Elisha2Kings]

@ImperatorDerGalaxis

And how logical was the war with Vietnam or the Cuban Missile Crisis? This whole episode was an extended metaphor for the Cold War. I suppose it seems absurd in hindsight, but the entire point was that an extended war with another civilization without actually attacking one another directly was absurd!

[AceOfHeart2012]

What commercial? Have you not discovered Mozilla Firefox AdBlock Plus yet? It's wonderful. No more insipid, annoying commercials.

[Demithegoddess]

Did anyone else notice that the "No interference" directive was . . . pretty much . . um . . . forgotten and disregarded in this episode?

[Solar2]

@Demithegoddess The "Prime Directive" states only that you do not interere or contact planets without warp speed (long distance space travel) capability. If they discover or invent warp speed, they can contact them and try to get them to join the Federation. :)

[Demithegoddess]

@Solar2 But they already were contacted and they said no. Then of course they're was actually a ban put on that planet that they obviously wanted there.

No means No Captain!!!

It seems as though they just didn't like how things were being done so they jumped in and changed it to their liking.

Not to sound like Spock's biggest groupie, but it is a different yet affective method of population control. Relatively quick and painless, no disease, no hunger, etc. They sort of messed that all up.

[AuroraStarW]

well, I think that Kirk was less than willing to die for the sake of the directive

[corolla858]

11:09

Anan7: "Activate the attack unit"

Guard: "Yes Sir" Anan: "Launch immediate counterattack!.......i said attack!"

Guard "Sir the computer is lagging!"

Anan: "Guard! Make contact with Youtube, tell them to stop the advertisment loading!"

35:02 Owned

36:48 haha knocked out and DRAGGED outta there within 3 seconds.

[madmanmatalawag]

Uhura in the opening scene !!

[SpicyTaco29]

Scotty FTW.

[jaxzurr]

Captain Kirk from the "Alternate Universe" would have impaled the council leader. Better yet, would have destoyed the planet from orbit.

[121crowbar]

And People say gory videogames make killers, those people such as Jack Thompson should see this episode.

[sbmrunning]

i gotta tell ya ! that is one HOT GIRL in that chase saffire commercial..........FINALLY a commercial worth looking forward too ! thar dress is AWESOME on her ! ................lol !

[tropix93]

If only it wasn't so nonsensical...

[Trainian]

Scotty is awesome!!!!!

[jbranstetter04]

Kirk: "I didn't start it council, but I'm liable to finish it."

The ultimate bad-ass.

[saitheninjedi]

@CaptainJohnBates So... you are on the Star Trek Online thing coming out Feb. 2?

[tiemedown]

she sounds just like amanda and dude must kirk be freaking out. this is exactly like the kodos situation.

[vfabs31]

that yeoman is so asian

[tiemedown]

36:00 knock her down and sit on her lol

[buerm009]

I'm In

[elryacko]

Wait a minute. Why would people be scared of being shot when they are about to enter a disintigration chamber?

[lolwatches]

I dunno bullets hurt?

Geez your dumb.

Would you get shot? NO

[elryacko]

I dunno. Disintegration hurts?

Geez.

[lolwatches]

Anyways I watched the episode if they get shot but not disintegrated it doesn't count towards the sum total of people killed by the enemy attack, which breaks the treaty. It doesn't matter if they're still dead because the computer doesn't register people who got their asses beat by Kirk as causalities.

[bustybossoms]

most retarded logic ever lol

[DBZskyhigh1]

LOL

Spock "Sir, theres a multi-legged creature on your sholdier" *Pinch*

[wardenphil]

Where can I get one of those cool hats?

[McCoYiSaWsOmE101]

lol!! at 19:10 spock and that red shirt chick crowed together in that corner to hide form the guy walkin past in the hallway... but it looks like she tries to REALLY cuddle up next to him............. i dont blame her though!! <3

[Bardlettt]

Knock her down and sit on her if necessary. Make sure you videotape it for my er..records.

[Badwolf42903]

"Thank you, Mr. Spock."

"My PLEASURE, captain."

[sporks811]

"Captain, you almost make me believe in luck."

"Why, Mr. Spock--you almost make me believe in miracles."

WOAH THERE.

[prufenful]

I was referring to Nazi Germany and all of the "Soviet Union's" various little was.

[jonnham]

What the hell is wrong with tthe bags under fox's eye ehhh...

[bzfan]

To all of you who think you are "sticking it to the man" by boycotting colgate, try installing the Adblock Plus addon for firefox.

No more ads, ever.

[ltd6996]

yea ive been using it, its awesome

[TiKa458]

Thanks :)

[Bardlettt]

I wish I knew about that 20 episode ago! This is awesome :D

[LeksServices]

Doesn't work with my browser. But then, I really don't see the point in changing browsers, just because it's becoming popular. BTW, I really do hope Firefox becomes the dominant browser on the interwebz. Then we'll find out how unassailable it really is!

[rabidfoxsavior]

seen the ad too many times now. Boycotting colgate as well.

[Firetruck0809]

kirk is awesome

[indianacheckers]

why do people have to argue here on youtube, its pointless and unecessary

[HotaruXchibaSDK]

there is a multi legged ceature on your sholder!

[yugherdoob]

I HATE Brooke Shields and Colgate Total. I appreciate that CBS has made these videos available to the general public. But it should learn that people who watch Star Trek do not want to see Brooke Shields. CBS - please change your poor marketing strategy. In the meanwhile, I am boycotting Colgate Total!

-LLCK

(Long Live Captain Kirk)

[stantler16]

what commericals are you people talking about?

[anozwe123]

get over it

[Fronator]

I agree. Most people who watch Star Trek are smart enough to not care whether Brooke Shields is marketing something. Try scientific proof instead.

[t0t3n3ng3l]

I have to say... Kirk would make a hell of a Security Officer.

[Whatsissname]

that would be an insult to put kirk as just a security officer

[sergeantalpha]

Spock: "I'd assumed you needed help, I see I'm in error" lol

[Bestmanme08]

Bill Shatner dedication in great new bio (All About Jeffrey Hunter) at amazon!

[madebutante]

Oh ya, Africa beneifted wonderfully from slavery. Also from Chevron taking their oil and destroying their villages. Wonderful!

[earp1673]

Hey you guys- careful with that intelligent conversation based on the plot of the show; you might end up having some pseudo-enlightened jackass remind you "it's just a tv show".

God those types make me power barf.

[MrBiblia]

I TOTALLY LOVE Star Trek...

[prufenful]

You're a fool if you think that war wasn't necessary inorder for the Bolsheviks to maintain their power.

[PERIZ99]

Thanks a million to CBS for giving us another chance to watch Star Trek !!

The resolution is great.

[synthesizerman]

Boycott Colgate Total toothpaste, untill they turn down their adds.

[prufenful]

I wouldn't buy it anyway for it's fluoride.

[FarrenfollowsBen]

A computerized war! That does indeed take out all the destruction and messiness of actual battle. It seems like a logical solution, but it is not ....because a war that has their people experiencing killing and seeing bloodshed will end sooner than a war that does not. Although they have found a way to eliminate the negative effects of war, their solution stops them from thinking of an alternative, keeping them involved in this lengthy war with no progression...for 500 years. Most illogical

[FarrenfollowsBen]

(cont. )

And as Spock clearly said "I do not approve...I understand." Spock is the best!!!!!!!!

[chickensandwich77]

Too bad Brooke Shields and those Colgate commercials could not walk into one of those disintegration chambers.

[prufenful]

Think what a waste of flesh that would be. Think of the energy wasted teaching them to talk, to eat, to think. They could at least do manual labour.

[frankenshizzle]

they were playing wow for 500 years....

[bloodrunsclear]

'I do not approve...I understand'

I love that line

[KISSPhace]

The redshirts survived! : )

[johnadams8000]

Bones is the best!

[sabbiconsymptom]

i still think scotty should of treated them to a few dozen photon torpedos

[SpockAndLoad]

I'd certainly love to recieve a Vulcan nerve massage from those "multi-legged creatures" of Spock's. *wink*

All Hail Star Trek llVlh

[spocksvulcanpinch]

Well, a Vulcan nerve massage does work pretty quickly, I understand, and from what I've seen of it, you do sleep quite soundly afterward. ;-)

[webkinzkid98]

Colgate is terrible, crest pro health is best ALL HAIL CREST!

[sunnchilde]

Vulcanians?

[p3eta]

hehehe.... Popinjay.....Mealymouthed.....­"The haggis is in the fire"....

Scotty... ye got guts. Aye, i'll gi ye that

My new fave TOS character is now scotty :)

[doctorkazoo]

I think its interesting that they are called screens in these earlier episodes instead of shields. Unless there are screens AND shields...maybe I just never noticed?

[p3eta]

Na, I guess they just thought ita be cool to use the word 'screens' in that episode

ofc, nowadays, its generally accepted that 'shileds' is the best word to describe an apparantly invisible, extendable mobile field that will absorb energy from many differnt sources and render it harmless. 'Force field' was used for a while but that became impractical as its takes longer to say. Although "Explosion dampening barrier" sounds REALLY cool its too specific and also contains too many syllables :)

[wwwlogionorg]

The point 'the Rod' was making with this episode is that war must never be sanitized. Otherwise you see things like the present day situation in Iraq, and previously in Vietnam and Korea. Carried to its logical conclusion this episode illustrates what will happen.

If we must fight wars, the best thing is to use any and all weapons at our disposal to completely demoralize, disrupt and destroy the opponent. No tactic or strategy should be artificially removed.

[Thurisaz314159]

You'd think Spock and Kirk would look more horrified to see people being disintegrated.

[cokefan3]

so if you get hit by a computers fusion bomb, you dont get hurt but you have to kill your self instead? wow...

[myrobotpanda]

5:11 - is that the background from 'Wink of an Eye'? i know i've seen ti somewhere...

[p3eta]

Lol yeh, it IS the same backdrop as wink of an eye. maybe its the same planet and what happend to those guys is the ultimate result of a virtual fusion bomb attack

[sturnfield7783]

This was in the height of the cold war

when both sides NATO and Warsaw Pact nations, had Mutual Assured Destruction .

In this episode it is like a battle of Risk.

[Catalina650013]

Barbara Babcock looks like the queen of the disco in that costume. Another William Theiss winner.

[StrTrekLuvr]

ahahahahahaha

"Sir, there is a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder."

ROTFLMAO.

lol I seriously had to pause it just to laugh.

[wanderersrock268]

Oh my God, how the heck did people do that? It's like they turned into a different kind of Vulcan. They were emotionless, but in a different kind of way. It's totally impossible. Fight, you idiots!

[BondFreek]

It is not imposable. People will do anything to live in comfort. just look how people react when their electrical power is gone.

[LeksServices]

Proof of our own unemotionalness can be seen in the laws we promote for "safety over freedom!" Crazy, crazy laws.

Hey! I have a law proposal! Let's force all people who commit any crime while drunk in to an alcohol offender registry, so they get treated like sex offenders! That will promote security over freedom! Hooor-RA!

[shmoofoobean44]

"there is a multi legged creature crawling on your shoulder." lol

spock had some amazing quotes in this :D
