Garth is an idiot, if he was smart he could have stayed disguised and Spock and tried to convince Kirk that he really was Spock by acting as if he suspected Kirk of being Garth.
@TheWatchGoesTick I was actually thinking that as that scene was going on; the only logical answer I can think of was that Spock wasn't sure that Garth would go back to looking like himself when stunned, and he didn't want to deal with a pair of unconscious Kirk-a-likes.
15 men trapped on a planet with only a single female and the leader orders her to be blown up? He must be really and truely insane! I want to hook up with one of those green Orion babes, they have got to be HOT!
I think Captain Garth would make a great addition to the next Trek prequel. The story of how Garth loses his sanity would make a great story, especially as he is a hero of Kirk's. Plus we will get a chance to see the mysterious shape shifters that healed him.
@BondFreek Oy-Vey. What I'm saying is there is probably a force field that holds them in place once they are in the chair. It was made to calm violent inmates it would make sense that it would activate once someone is sitting in the chair.
Isn't it funny how everyone fights and fights to avoid going in "the chair", but then is completely content to stay in it (unrestrained I might add) once they are there. It must be a "comfy chair".
Garth is freaking hilarious! If he isn't throwing a tantrum, he's either yelling at someone, or having delusions of granduer. Easilly one of my favorite episodes.
Too many "reality" shows instead of real creativity.
My goodness, how can a talent show featuring dance or singing be as good as TOS? Answer: It IS NOT.
Spock is super-cool in this: he dismisses Garth at 20:22 and his logical mind cannot comprehend insanity. He'd have a hard time with Hollyweird today! ROFL!
Are you confusing him with Dr. Spock that wrote the books on child care in the 60's?
I'm a LONGTIME TOS fan, but I've NEVER heard of Spock being a Dr. He's a Lt. Commander then got promoted to Commander in the TV series I believe btwn Season 2 & 3.
no im deff not confusing him with the writer, its just that ive always heard the name as dr spock everwhere (except in the series it seems, lol)
I also assumed that he might have recieved an official science doctrate later on. I wonder if he is refered to ad DR in one of the movies or in a cameo appearence in tng or voy? if not then its very wierd and withdraw my statement, with an embarassment factor exceeding warp 10
Actually, come to think of it, everyone who i speak to who have ever mentiond star trek may be confusing with the author, and over the years, the title has impressed itself on my subconsious. ty for pointing it out :) certain friends and aquaintences will be dying tonite.
although if u do check the propper channels that would be amazing, coz it has been bugging me for a while. TYVM :)
The story is that when Gene Roddenberry named the character Spock, he hadn't even heard of the famous Dr. Benjamin Spock. That's a bit hard to believe.
when garth is on the floor yelling after trying to board the enterprise, after he transforms back into garth, something falls off his costume and spins around on the floor.
My favorite Garth line is: We are going to take the Enterprise. Do you hear me. We are going to take her if I have to shatter every bone in Capt. Kirk's body.
I kept wondering what would happen if a random person (mainly my sister, who hates Star Trek and thinks it is one of the oddest shows every created - which it kind of is at points, but still) walked into the room sometime during that little freakout.
This episode has always stood out for me, it deserves a trophy of some kind, the gold plated canned ham. I think it is well written, Garth and Marta come in and knock it out of the park, so what if Spock did not like this one, Garth is a breath of fresh air for the 3rd season.
In another episode, Spock mentioned there had never been a recorded mutiny on a Federation ship. This episode clearly contradicts that. Now I have to figure out which episode it was where he said that, but I am fairly sure it was another season 3 ep... maybe The Empath?
Why wouldn't Spock just zap both of them and sort it out later? At least the Mayor didn't die, I pegged him as dead as a red shirt from the first moment we saw him.
