Not a great episode, but loads of fanservice...did you see how high the skirts were riding up? At least I now am reassured that there really are matching swimsuit-bottom things attached to those dresses! And Spock and Scotty on the floor was...well, wonderful. Not a sight I'd expect to see in a show of this vintage -- apparently the concept of a bromance is not as new as it sometimes looks.
Even though this story is fictional, there is at least one plausible element in this story - the smoke in the Galileo's cabin during its re-entry burnup. In the (real) 1969 Soyuz 5 Mission, the Equipment Section failed to separate after the de-orbit burn. Aerodynamic forces caused this combination to re-enter nose-first. The rubber gasket on the upper hatch began to smoke, and the paint on adjacent surfaces began to peel off.
They were harsh on Spock but once one crewman had died on his watch. He should have defended their position with lethal force. Even though he allowed a second to die, these types of deaths were not atypical of star trek. I wish they hadn't written Spock to be impractically and foolish when it comes emotional beings but I suppose the episode wouldn't work if he wasn't. I also must assume the writers wanted to leave room for growth as I dare not think they only desired ridicule logic.
@utubesuperstation I know. People are racist to the Klingons and Romulans. And that planet with the "Neo-Nazi's" and those black and white guys in Season 3.
@3link1 I feel I must mention that the deaths in this episode consist of two gold shirts and one unseen crewman. No red shirts were killed, except perhaps the unseen crewman mentioned before, but that may well be impossible to confirm.
The shuttle crew was amazingly rude. They complained about not being able to get home and then the ungrateful punks wanted to just hang around. I'd give you a good alternative. First course a stomach full of fist, Second course a nice sedative to sleep and finally a long nap for dessert.
I LOVED Spock in this episode. He is completely unselfish, and in his own way, he's sweet (sorta). I hated the way they treated him. Spock was trying to save them, and they treat him like dirt.
Best part was the ending......oh Spock. You are so stubborn...
Every time I watch this episode I LOL like a motherfucker at Spock's "commander" pose. Hands on your hips, that's how the humans know you're in charge!
I don't see why they all laughed at him at the end--all other options would have lead to failure, and that action had the only chance of success, however low. To choose the unlikely over the absolutely hopeless, when those are the only options, IS logical.
I think it's pretty mean to laugh at Spock like that. He probably doesn't even know that they're making fun of him. It's like making fun of someone with Asperger's Syndrome. I hate how they were always trying to provoke him and tease him. He had really poor human social skills and he only developed them much later. It was funny but it got kind of cruel. He couldn't help it and they took advantage of him.
I'm glad that at least some people online actually grasp what Asperger's Syndrome is, I've been dealing with plenty of jerks who don't even know what it is or realize the fact that I'm arguing with them because they provoked me.
So, how come they don't use more phaser rifles? Don't get me wrong, the phaser pistols are cool and all. But I'm in the Army, and I wouldn't want to go on a patrol with nothing but a side-arm.
@diomedes39 Actually, they're very military. the SS Enterprise is part of a fleet, like the Navy. And power is one thing. Accuracy is another. Rifles are more accurate because of the steadier base of the shoulder and the longer distance between the front and rear sight posts. That's what I'm concerned about.
@jimmyboo121 Yes, they are part of a fleet, but it's more of a science and exploration fleet than military, though they may serve that function. I don't think that they want to be viewed as military which they would if armed with rifles.
@diomedes39 I think it's more like Enterprise is a ship in a military fleet that was assigned on a peaceful exploration mission. The rank structure and academy all point to Enterprise being part of a futuristic naval fleet, and they describe themselves as military men several times in the series. And I think the lack of phaser rifles has more to do with the limited budget.
@jimmyboo121 The Phaser Pistols (Phaser II) are very powerful. They couldve easily killed every single creature within a mile radius of the shuttle. However, Spock, being a man of peace, decided against using them for that purpose.
@Sodiumreactor Power is one thing. Accuracy is another. Rifles are more accurate because of the steadier base of the shoulder and the longer distance between the front and rear sight posts. That's what I'm concerned about.
BondFreek Carful everyone greg5566 is a talented TROLL. He'll push the right buttons to get you mad enough to take up an entire video page. He is a, none educated slick talking manipulative ASS hole. He's going to be president one day. Lol!
wait....so THEY (all of the EMOTIONAL pure-bred humans) tell spock they should ATTACK the creatures to make them go away, and spock relunctantly agrees...and then when that strategy fails, bones lectures spock for choosing such an un-emotional plan????
Nice how they don't even mention that there's two people missing when they're beamed back on board. And why did they forget to wear their red shirts?!?!?
If you notice Kirk's face it was a mix of relief and sadness. It would have been pointless to bring it up and would have dragged the episode over the 50 minute mark.
While I agree that it is sad and unfortunate that men were killed, you don't hold a funeral in a hostile environment. You can mourn them later. I have to side with Spock in this episode, although he could have been a little more gentle about it.
Ha ha, that's funny. You call yourself a star trek fan, yet you criticize the cheesy filming. Its about the core, the moral questions posed, the adventure, the unknown. Im sorry star trek isn't flashy enough for you. Maybe we could replace the cap with Ben stiller, and have a couple of gay crewmen running around, since you seem to be into that sort of thing. Fucking dumbass.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I am a huge Star Trek fan; I've seen every Voyager, Next Gen and DS9. Therefore, it pains me to say that the original series is the worst TV show I have ever seen in my life. Kirk cannot act his way out of a transvestite's distended anus, and if they couldn't make more realistic exterior shots, they should've done without.
You have to think about when it was /made/. These were the sixties for God's sake, what do you want from it? You can't judge older shows based on current effects, because they didn't have the stuff to pull that crap off back then.
Pretty effects or no, Star Trek has its own type of charm going for it that more than makes up for its shortcomings.
Alternate Spock in "Mirror Mirror" would have shot each and everyone, or even used Talshya for merciful execution when they got disobedient and insubordinate. I miss Alternate Spock :(
Although, either way I'd still want a piece of that Vulcanian :)
The 'red shirt' - security officers on Star Trek are basic characters who are placed in peril to depict the mortal danger of the situation. We cannot kill off the main & main supporting characters so enter the security guys.
The Commissioner was compleatly in the right for being unhappy with Kirk. Delivery of medicine for the plague should take priority...but being mean and smug doesn't help matters.
I'm surprised when Gitano(spelling?) and Spock are having out about whether to attack or not. Spock should have reminded Gitano that the Prime Directive clearly states they should all die as opposed to letting a pre-warp culture become damaged by their interference. Shame on them all. Everyone who survives should be drummed out of starfleet.
You bitches need to shut your whore mouths. Spock is doing his best to save your ungrateful asses while you stand around and gossip about how he doesn't have a heart.
Bones is the only one allowed to say shit like that, cause he's everyones favorite racist and we all know banter is integral to their epic bromance or menage a trois with Kirk or whatever.
(2) The black guy really has it in for Spock and is constantly insubordinate in this entire episode. He really ought to get the chip off of his shoulder and learn to respect a senior officer.
(3) I do not understand why it was necessary for the two guys to go prancing around away from the shuttlecraft. Stay by the ship--there is safety in numbers.
I know with a limited budget, they tried to do their best, but having McCoy and the yeoman come into the shuttlecraft through a perceived "second entry port" in the back of the craft is pushing it.
I don't understand how Brooke Shields comes so loud and clear while all the shows are so dim in volume. Could some one explain that to me. When they uploaded the series someone messed up!
It must have to do with the audio quality of the original footage, which is notably not as good as modern technology allows for. I'm sure they could have done SOMETHING though, because I'm tired of Brooke Shields raping my ears every ten minutes.
You obviously don't know much about space then. It doesn't take alot for something to withstand pressure, but a rock, even a small rock, flying through space at sublight speeds, is basically an unstoppable object.
This was the first ST episode I saw in its entirety (1966 premiere broadcast, when I was in second grade).
What most impressed me then was how these astronauts of the future, with all their firepower and technology, were getting their butts kicked by CAVEMEN!
He DOES have feelings he just suppresses them and they are taught to do that and how to do it. And even more so because he is half human which makes it harder to suppress his feelings than the average vulcan. Even though he is doing a very good job at it, what you should say is they should remember that he is a person too
On the other hand, what I don't like about this episode is it presumes in dire situation human beings will cling to emotion rather than efficiency and discipline, when we all know damn well we've got Marines, 82nd Airborne, SEALs, etc. not to mention civvies(like me!) who can adapt to desperate situations and follow orders while still regarding life. So many humans have accepted death in order to save lives! We can be logical too. Don't forget-the Enterprise is first and foremost a military ship
Here's an expression of species prejudice; almost like racism(in a way) against Spock; the humans involved chose to regard their own ability and desire to express emotion(while still obeying rules and regulations of course) rather than respect the Vulcan in charge. They should've appreciated his efficiency and regard for life itself; and the goal of saving as many as possible in logical fashion. Spock said "I am frequently appalled by the low regard you Earth men have for life" . .fascinating :)

Leave Spockie alone! He's trying to save your butts. Geez, people.

I know with a limited budget, they tried to do their best, but having McCoy and the yeoman come into the shuttlecraft through a perceived "second entry port" in the back of the craft is pushing it.

"They were perfectly predictable to anyone with feeling."
Then why didn't he predict it?? Srsly.

1. Because you dont question a commanding officer.
2. Because that would eliminate the climax of this episode :-p

Ha ha. I only meant that he shouldn't be telling Spock that he should have thought of it if he didn't think of it himself. That's all.

So Brooke Shields couldn't survive without someone telling her which toothpaste to use? Wow, poor thing.
Michael55443 2 years ago 16
I don't understand how Brooke Shields comes so loud and clear while all the shows are so dim in volume. Could some one explain that to me. When they uploaded the series someone messed up!
vk92007 2 years ago 4
I think the video was loaded too quietly. Brooke, as annoying as she is, is the normal volume for videos.
Michael55443 2 years ago
It must have to do with the audio quality of the original footage, which is notably not as good as modern technology allows for. I'm sure they could have done SOMETHING though, because I'm tired of Brooke Shields raping my ears every ten minutes.

A lot of the conflicts set up in the episode seem very artificial and forced.

That hull can take the pressures of space but a rock????? can damage it?
anglimited 2 years ago
You obviously don't know much about space then. It doesn't take alot for something to withstand pressure, but a rock, even a small rock, flying through space at sublight speeds, is basically an unstoppable object.

This was the first ST episode I saw in its entirety (1966 premiere broadcast, when I was in second grade).
What most impressed me then was how these astronauts of the future, with all their firepower and technology, were getting their butts kicked by CAVEMEN!
baraxor 2 years ago 2
That reminds me of an episode of "Angel" where there was a big argument about who would win in a fight, astronauts or cavemen.

He DOES have feelings he just suppresses them and they are taught to do that and how to do it. And even more so because he is half human which makes it harder to suppress his feelings than the average vulcan. Even though he is doing a very good job at it, what you should say is they should remember that he is a person too

amazing how there are still 400 people on the starship when about 4 die per episode
LionandLambLovestory 2 years ago 18
lol! Yeah. huge outbreaks of disease, mass murdering, women, you name it. it kills off the crew faster then CBS could sign their actors contract.

On the other hand, what I don't like about this episode is it presumes in dire situation human beings will cling to emotion rather than efficiency and discipline, when we all know damn well we've got Marines, 82nd Airborne, SEALs, etc. not to mention civvies(like me!) who can adapt to desperate situations and follow orders while still regarding life. So many humans have accepted death in order to save lives! We can be logical too. Don't forget-the Enterprise is first and foremost a military ship

I see what you mean, but don't YOU forget that this is a 60's tv show! It doesn't exist in the confines of reality!!!

Correct Captain.
Soultaker1982 2 years ago
Here's an expression of species prejudice; almost like racism(in a way) against Spock; the humans involved chose to regard their own ability and desire to express emotion(while still obeying rules and regulations of course) rather than respect the Vulcan in charge. They should've appreciated his efficiency and regard for life itself; and the goal of saving as many as possible in logical fashion. Spock said "I am frequently appalled by the low regard you Earth men have for life" . .fascinating :)
earp1673 2 years ago 2
The crew were very emotional, but it was their very emotionalism that made them disobey Spock's order, go back, and save Spock's life.
