"But do not bring that one, the one with the pointed ears."
Poor Spock! Not only was he treated like everyone's bitch in every episode they were captured by someone, but everyone is always picking on his ears! I think his ears are sexy personally. Would love nothing more then to run my fingers over them ~Panting~
haha I know that this show was a good thing for women and so on...but...well... hearing apollo go "You seem wise for a woman"? That was a little bit annoying... ^^;;
Scotty's been gettin on my damn nerves the whole episode. "But Captain we've got to do something!" Please just shut the fuck up and let Kirk handle situation.....SHEESH!
"Nearly brought a tear to mi'eye." Comments are relatively low, here, curiously. Am I just having a vulnerable moment? Trick of perspective or bout of mood hyper-sensitivity at the thresh of imminet slumber? Bipolar manic euphoria? Kirk gave some of the most eloquent utterances my 40-some years have witnessed yet about humanity. I wonder how that speech would have resonated if speechwriters put it in the mouths of some of our leaders today.
Notice how Spock asked about Apollo even tho the landing party didn't find out his name until after they reached the surface and as well as lost communication with the ship
The commercials are REALLY LOUD. What's that all about? Extremely irritating. Instead of making me want to buy Jimmy Dean sausages, the high volume makes we want to plug my ears with them. WOW....
Script error: At 22:13 Spock calls "the man" Apollo but "the man" did not introduce himself as Apollo until the landing party was present. There was no communications between landing party and ship, thus how did Spock know to call this man Apollo?
agreed. I love to lay in bed and watch this and when the advertisement came on it was like booming loud waking the goddm neighbors!!! Jeeeesus!err I mean apollyon!
WOW! How sexist can you get? Kirk and McCoy had the gall to mention that the Lieutenant is a woman! And that she might just get married! It's offensive! Come on! This show was made over 40 years ago! The political correctness crap didn't exist then because the progressives that started it were still in college. You should hear the way grown men talk about women today when there's no PC police around. I think Kirk and McCoy were being very respectful about her.
@kurtb8474 They weren't upset that she was getting married. They were talking about how He wanted her, but they weren't sure that *she* wanted him. And they put in the 'actually I might lose an officer...' as a joke I'm sure lol
I always expect Kirk to bust out into song at 20:48 - "Say... Five thousand years ago, a highly sophisticated group of space travelers landed on Earth, around the Mediterranean Sea. Pushed off course on a three hour tour. The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed, and slammed into the rocky shore their captain said 'we're lost' ..." This episode could have easily translated into a musical.
The opening conversation between McCoy and Kirk was incredibly sexist. Gene Roddenberry might have been a visionary for inventing the Star Trek franchise, but he really held the series back until he left with his outdated ideas and naive demands about how the Federation would be like.
@tesformes You are completely out of line saying that Gene Roddenberry held the show back. You seem to daft to notice that one of the leading characters in this show happens to not only be a woman, but a black woman. Do you have any idea how uncommon it was to see not only a woman, but anybody black as a lead back than????
Stop writing, you have no clue what you are talking about.
@frndandlovr Yes, but Shelly wrote "Adonais" for Keats, in which he commands people to weep for Adonais. That is the specific work being alluded to in this episode's title.
@TheCommentauthor Personally, I don't think there's any God at all. As sad as it is, I think it really was just one big scientific coincidence that the universe exists today. Sick minds can invent Xenu, why can't they invent a God?
On the other hand, I do believe that people have souls, and that spiritual energy exists in each and every one of us; science just hasn't found a way to measure or record it. And, I believe I could be completely wrong. Hey, anything's possible! :)
@itsmrwinston Point taken I see where your coming from but not to believe in an deity would mean chaos in the world nobody would just wait to die crime rate would jump sky high I don't think that we would even exist as a Race without the belief in god because we are Savages we kill the unknown mentally and would do so physically if we could fear drives us. If there was one word to describe Humans it would be Destroyers. Scientists try to explain everything but in reality they do no such thing.
Dude, get over it. You watch far fewer commercials on Youtube than on TV. They have to pay the bills somehow, right? You should be happy that you only have to watch a handful of thirty second (or less) commercials rather than five minutes blocks of advertising like you do on broadcast TV.
This reminds me of a comedy routine by Louis CK. Look up "Everything is great. Nobody is happy."
@tesformes i bet u get all your comedy from gone with the wind. i thought that was pretty good. and now ur going to say somehing along the lines that i have a horable sense of humor. youre so painfully obvious, you should simply stop writing immediatly and entirely. i hope you dont mind me quoting you, sometimes it takes stupidity and blindness to make a point.
I like this episode it shows the Human nature even when faced with the unexplainable the human mind still resists and tries to find answers where there are none and this is a problem in our world today nobody truly believes that there is a being all powerful keeping an eye on us A universe this delicate cant exist just by coincidence scientist or a normal Joe everyone knows about god and even the Greek mythologies were not just invented by a sick mind there must be a reason behind it all. Peace
@TheCommentauthor You said "...today nobody truly believes that there is a being all powerful keeping an eye on us..."
With all due respect, I must disagree with your hypothesis. It is illogical almost in the extreme to think that mankind is alone in the universe. Someone or some thing must have started all of this at some time in the past. Only human arrogance would allow someone to think that we have no need of a "higher power".
@DeedsResearcher For some reason you took all the good that was meant in my comment and turned it in to something that could light a fire. First of all your opinion is your opinion as mine is mine. I did not hypothesize at all I merely stated a fact. I am 20 years old and I understand that there is one god but I don't push all other faiths or my heritage aside. Your simplistic intellectual approach at reading my comment and understanding it and completely misreading it disappoints me. Take care!
@beachinbeachboy it's not a contrail, it's an edge artifact from the optical process used to make Apollo fade from view in that shot. This was a decidedly non-digital age where stuff was done by cutting celluloid and shooting through mirrors.
no more room for false gods, that is, there is still room for the real ( Creator ) God, who created everything, and still demands His creations worship Him, and they all will, eventually, some in Heaven and some (most) in eternal Hell.
But the death of the Judeo-Hellenic unified deity has very different implications than the vanishing of the Greek pantheon. Gods had died time and again, as demonstrated by a f amine, defeat, or other catastrophe that called into question the viability of a particular god.. These were replaced other other gods. But the Christian conception subsumed the godhead into one entity who was the foundation of morals. TThe death of that god has existential import the death of the gods lacked.
This episode captures the pathos of God's death. Nietzsche famously stated "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us?" Nietzsche attacked the Enlightenment view that once the gods were dead, all would be well . After the atheist Communist and Nazi crusades, we know better.
@sukneh Part of the reason why Shatner and Nimoy is so close in real life is that besides being born just a week apart, they are both of Ukrainian Jewish descent.
I did not know they had that much in common, but would this alone be enough to explain why they worked so well together on screen, and apparently off as well? How does this compare with the SST successor casts - commonality in background, good ollaboration on stage and off? I admit to knowing very little about STNG, DS-9, Voyager, etc.
@BondFreek Leonard Nimoy is most definitely Jewish. It was his idea to come up with the so-called "Vulcan salute". He took a two-handed gesture made by Jewish Rabbis when reciting the Blessing of Aaron, and removed one of the hands. The 2-hand position resembled a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Removing one hand left us with the "salute" that is used with "Live long and Prosper" as well as "Peace and Long Life".
@DeedsResearcher. Does anyone here know how to READ? I said Nimoy was Jewish. I mistakenly said Shatner was not. as in Willam Shatner AKA James T Kirk AKA TJ Hooker. Got it now?
@BondFreek I most certainly do know how to read. It is possible that, in scrolling through the messages, I may have gone past some while my head was turned. You did not have to get into insults by reciting the list of roles that Shatner has played. De Kelly's list of roles goes back a lot further.
The aim of my message was not to dispute Shatner, but to introduce to the discussion how the so-called "Vulcan Salute" came into being. Re-read the message.
@BondFreek I do deny it. If that had been my sole "aim", I'd have stopped after the first line. However, 99% of the people "out there" do not know the real source of the Vulcan Salute. It happens that I grew up in the same general neighborhood as Nimoy: Dorchester. We may even have attended the same synagogue at one time (although I am now Roman Catholic, I was Jewish during my childhood).
I wrote a paper on Apollo, and I mentioned this episode. When I got my paper back, there was a sticker on it and a lolipop (I got an A). I'm a junior in high school.
Enough already! These advertisements are just too DAMN LOUD! I get it! I respect their effots, but come on, more than twice as loud? Been watching these episodes for a couple of days now, and it seems like they're shouting! SHOULD I START TOO?
Sorry, but Apollo was the good guy in this episode. The crew of the enterprise were the bad guys. Now if this Apollo was not a God, why did he continue his "delusion" after they destroyed his temple? How was he able to expand and disappear? Who was he praying to? Capt Kirk played the fool in this one, bigtime. And what the heck was up with that ridiculous Scotty? Jealous wimp!
"He is much like Pan, and Pan always bored me." (Apollo commenting on Spock). I like this line. The actors were all great with communication with their eyes.
Love the exchange between Spock and Uhura when she is attempting to fix the communication station with a sub-communication router (or whatever it was, LOL!). Also, did anyone else get a little tired of Scotty trying to 'save' Carolyn when she clearly didn't ask him for such chivalry?
This is one of several episodes that really make me want to jump Bones. Every girl Trekkie I know has a thing for either Kirk or Spock, I've always had a thing for McCoy.
Apollo- "Don't bring that one; the one with the pointy ears. It's a time for happy faces not sad faces." Poor Spock is not invited to dine with the Gods, due to his inability to show a happy face. xD
Why is it that all a guy has to do in this show is tell a woman she's pretty and suddenly she's in love and will forsake everything for the man. I mean granted he's a goad and everything and has some nice pecs but damn!
@jsbeerman, It's a wig. He was just hired at this point with the double intention to show a "Russian" character and bring in a younger character to hopefully appeal to teenagers. At the time, the Beatles/Monkees mop top look was popular for male celebs intended to appeal to teens; but Koenig's hair was too short when they hired him so they had him wear a wig until his hair grew into the hairstyle.
What?? I'm pretty sure heterosexuals spread AIDS too. I know of no person, let alone anyone who is homosexual, who supports NAMBLA or sex slave trade, although NAMBLA members themselves are certainly homosexual (although pedophiles in addition - and THAT is what makes their organization sick and wrong).
Why pick on gays so much anyway? They don't harm anything. Criminalize sodomy??? Why??? What good could that possibly do?
Dumb Westerners. Being manipulated by what each and every one of you types is such a sad sight. I pity you all. Change to an intelligent discussion on how this episode and entire series reflects not only American but Western thinking.
No Scotty! Change your shirt! Quick, before it's too late!

beachinbeachboy 2 years ago 2
@beachinbeachboy it's not a contrail, it's an edge artifact from the optical process used to make Apollo fade from view in that shot. This was a decidedly non-digital age where stuff was done by cutting celluloid and shooting through mirrors.

no more room for false gods, that is, there is still room for the real ( Creator ) God, who created everything, and still demands His creations worship Him, and they all will, eventually, some in Heaven and some (most) in eternal Hell.

@eddiewetter You're an idiot. Yahweh is just as fake as the Greek gods and every other god.
MrlynMac 2 years ago
But the death of the Judeo-Hellenic unified deity has very different implications than the vanishing of the Greek pantheon. Gods had died time and again, as demonstrated by a f amine, defeat, or other catastrophe that called into question the viability of a particular god.. These were replaced other other gods. But the Christian conception subsumed the godhead into one entity who was the foundation of morals. TThe death of that god has existential import the death of the gods lacked.

This episode captures the pathos of God's death. Nietzsche famously stated "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us?" Nietzsche attacked the Enlightenment view that once the gods were dead, all would be well . After the atheist Communist and Nazi crusades, we know better.

I have watched ST for over 40 years and did not know this. I thought this was true only of Leonard Nimoy. Always something new to learn, I guess.
sukneh 2 years ago
I didn't know either until my teacher told me. He's a big William Shatner fan.
CarusIncendia 2 years ago
@sukneh Part of the reason why Shatner and Nimoy is so close in real life is that besides being born just a week apart, they are both of Ukrainian Jewish descent.
MrlynMac 2 years ago
I did not know they had that much in common, but would this alone be enough to explain why they worked so well together on screen, and apparently off as well? How does this compare with the SST successor casts - commonality in background, good ollaboration on stage and off? I admit to knowing very little about STNG, DS-9, Voyager, etc.

@MrlynMac. Oh. Ok. My mistake. sorry.
BondFreek 1 year ago
@BondFreek Leonard Nimoy is most definitely Jewish. It was his idea to come up with the so-called "Vulcan salute". He took a two-handed gesture made by Jewish Rabbis when reciting the Blessing of Aaron, and removed one of the hands. The 2-hand position resembled a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Removing one hand left us with the "salute" that is used with "Live long and Prosper" as well as "Peace and Long Life".
DeedsResearcher 1 year ago
@DeedsResearcher. Does anyone here know how to READ? I said Nimoy was Jewish. I mistakenly said Shatner was not. as in Willam Shatner AKA James T Kirk AKA TJ Hooker. Got it now?
BondFreek 1 year ago
@BondFreek I most certainly do know how to read. It is possible that, in scrolling through the messages, I may have gone past some while my head was turned. You did not have to get into insults by reciting the list of roles that Shatner has played. De Kelly's list of roles goes back a lot further.
The aim of my message was not to dispute Shatner, but to introduce to the discussion how the so-called "Vulcan Salute" came into being. Re-read the message.
DeedsResearcher 1 year ago
@DeedsResearcher. Next time, re read the posts before you post. PS. Of coarse Kelly's roles out number Shatner's he was older.
Your aim was to correct me period. Don't deny it.
BondFreek 1 year ago
@BondFreek I do deny it. If that had been my sole "aim", I'd have stopped after the first line. However, 99% of the people "out there" do not know the real source of the Vulcan Salute. It happens that I grew up in the same general neighborhood as Nimoy: Dorchester. We may even have attended the same synagogue at one time (although I am now Roman Catholic, I was Jewish during my childhood).

Sorry, but Apollo was the good guy in this episode. The crew of the enterprise were the bad guys. Now if this Apollo was not a God, why did he continue his "delusion" after they destroyed his temple? How was he able to expand and disappear? Who was he praying to? Capt Kirk played the fool in this one, bigtime. And what the heck was up with that ridiculous Scotty? Jealous wimp!

@jsbeerman, It's a wig. He was just hired at this point with the double intention to show a "Russian" character and bring in a younger character to hopefully appeal to teenagers. At the time, the Beatles/Monkees mop top look was popular for male celebs intended to appeal to teens; but Koenig's hair was too short when they hired him so they had him wear a wig until his hair grew into the hairstyle.

Why pick on gays so much anyway? They don't harm anything. Criminalize sodomy??? Why??? What good could that possibly do?
