The Doomsday Machine

[thetwilighthall]

Where did all the other episodes go?

[TheMcCubby]

@thetwilighthall i was wondering the same thing.

[RiverKWhite]

@thetwilighthall this is not cool. Youtube took them down. now i will have to spend three hours a day doing something.

[clintonearlwalker]

@RiverKWhite I don't know where the other episodes went either :( I watched one almost every day :( Sometimes YouTube really sucks.

[TheMcCubby]

@RiverKWhite Why did they only take down ALMOST all of them? Why leave those few?

[physicalKinetics]

effing subspace interference...

[flossjw1]

35:01-35:37.........i have come to the conclusion after having examined all individual star trek series that anybody with the rank of captain or above..........never get into a hand to hand fight with them 'cause they will------KICK------YOUR------­-BUTT----! ! ! !

[HuasoPodrido]

McCoy would suck at trivial pursuit

[mrbrianmccarthy]

One of my favorite Star Treks---Great story.Heres an episode that would've really benefitted from CGI special effects.

[m9078jk3]

@mrbrianmccarthy This episode was one of my favorites as well.

I remember the time seeing it when it originally aired almost 43 years ago.I was in a hospital to have my tonsils removed.The other kid in the hospital room had never seen Star Trek on TV and he was awed after watching it.Television shows in the 1960's were exciting back then with other great sci fi series airing.

[JWA8402]

I do think that green outfit kirk wore was one of the best, even if it doesn't fit with the uniform code.

[nismobeach]

Decker reminds me of a dysfunctional drunkard! LOL

[enterprise314]

"Mr. Scott .. try inverse phasing" Try her now Mr. Kyle! Bridge!! We got him through!! Energy output .. zero radiation level ... normal. Welcome aboard Captain."

[solomonkane23]

@TBow009  the doomsday machine / berserker is a recuring charictor in norman spinrad stories. also im pretty shure jonny williams ripped off the jaws shark attack music from this episode.

[photonicus]

Commodore Decker =best mental breakdown scene ever.

[mrbrianmccarthy]

@photonicus The guy who played Captain Decker did a great job!

[starmanz]

I'm a doctor Jim, not a mechanic!

[utscuba]

Whats the episode where- this is gonna sound weird but it IS an actual episode- a midget rides Kirk as Kirk pretendes to be a horse and Spock sings and or tap dances?

[kianzhi]

@utscuba That'S from the episode ''Plato's Stepchildren''.. where kirk and party land on a planet where people have powers to control others..!

[mars188]

Doomsday Machine sure let one lose at the end talk about Gas

[2bee1wabby]

46:26 "Gentlemen! Beam me aboard!"

[SSPerfectChaos]

No wait, that isn't right. The Redshirt was actually putting up a fight.

[Bettyfan92614]

Robert Ryan was originally cast as Decker.

[DogPatch1149]

Why no photon torpedoes? Remember the antimatter in the warp drive pods being deactivated by the DM? Photon torpedo warheads consist of matter and antimatter, and with deactivated antimatter, that means they don't go boom.

Why no phasers down the maw? The power of the phasers would be absorbed by the machine's total conversion drive, in essence feeding it.

Why'd the fusion explosion kill it? I don't think it did. I think it overloaded the DM's conversion drive and put it into a coma.

[CommodoreHorton]

@DogPatch1149 Someone where knows their Treknology. Give this man an Andorian cookie.

[Roadracer987654321]

This episode showcased Mr. Scott's Engineering Talents. Scotty should have after this been more developed as a charaacter and had more episodes cenetred on him and his past career. Captain Christopher Pike would have picked him to be on the Enterprise after he left so her new, young Captain would have the best of the best leading the Engineering Crew of the Starship Enterprise.

[hanoc101]

@Roadracer987654321 Scot's the real hero in this episode.

[iamzhippoppotimus]

The Angry Icicle Condom of Fire is gaining on the Enterprise!

[Masturbov]

Real good episode. I watched an interview with James Doohan back in the day in which he said this was his favorite episode. Shatner didn't get laid, so it probably wasn't his favorite.

[hanoc101]

Kirk always counts on Scotty to be a miracle worker - and Scotty often is. Scot's the man.

[offthehook80]

was sulu a butt pirate back then?

[suggsb2010]

I wish they would Incorporate this episode into a new movie!

[spiderblue43]

William Windem's performance (and great script akin to the Maine Cutiny and other references) was the best of any guest star, by far! In fact, his character son was a pivotal player in the movie version in 79 as many already know. It shows the love of the Decker character.

Forget about your theories!!! What are you going to do about it? His sacrifice to the weapon is the most chilling moment in the series history-lasting.

[charlesvan13]

The space joint.

[baelordddd]

I just did "The Doomsday Device" on STO, had to see this backstory, Ffin' awesome.

[aperson22222]

Can't they use the Constellation's transporter to beam themselves to the Enterprise?

[chaosopher23]

@aperson22222 The transporter was broken. About 10 minutes in, Decker informs Kirk that the crew was beamed down to planet 3, and then the Thing attacked and took out the transporter while the Thing ate the planet.

[cdost]

My favorite for sure. Just cannot top it for plot, action and message. In the 25th Anniversary special it was rated number for in a poll of all fans. I think City on the Edge of Forever was Nimoy's favorite and #1 in the poll.

[hardright03]

i would say that the hand held is a nextel with even the noise maybe gene was not thinking of the future but knew of the coming the gov if fifty years ahead of the regular people

[jsbeerman]

blue tooth 43 yrs before it was invented. Gene Rodenberry saw the future.

[craesykid]

This is probably my favorite episode in the entire original series, and all of star trek at that. the city on the edge of forever is so overrated.

[pantsghost]

@craesykid i agree with you about the city on the edge of forever

[jsbeerman]

@craesykid Your not a trek fan......can't be. City on the edge of forever, is with out a doubt their best......remember this show helped invent EVERYTHING today

[craesykid]

@jsbeerman COTEOF is not a bad episode. It's actually quite a good one. I've watched it twice now, and I still haven't even watched all the episodes. But it's not perfect like people act; they act like it is a godly masterpiece, when really, its just a great episode. Parts of it seemed rushed and silly, but thats more due to there being so much content. This episode, however, had perfect pacing, characters, special effects, and so forth. This episode moved me.

[jsbeerman]

@craesykid good stuff

[lonelygeorgeturtle]

DO SOMETHING SPOCK

*blank stare* lol

[batfly]

The older I get... the more I like Star Trek.

[PrinceFX]

Jaws Deja Vu :p

[Catalist0101]

lucky thing that the doomsday machine did not blast the constellation as it was heading in on its suicide mission

[Yoshi741852]

this is rated G? sometimes i think it shouldnt be.......just a random comment

[jsbeerman]

@Yoshi741852 Wat??? Are you resdy to give a 43 yr old tv show aa adult rating? Are you the same person who thinks beer shouldnt be sold in supermarkets....or the government should run everything including our thoughts?

[Yoshi741852]

@jsbeerman i was having a bad day srry

[jsbeerman]

@Yoshi741852 it happens

[jgberndt]

The engineering explosions sound like lightsabers dueling!!!

[flowertrue]

One of the Star Trek books had a plot based on the idea that the DoomsDay machine was a prototype made by a highly advanced race to fight the Borg. Its a pretty good theory if you ask me.

[evildaveprime]

The Federation should have sent scientists to the Doomsday Machine to reverse engineer it and use it against the Borg.

[bigfoot30045]

I'm glad that thing ate commodore dumbass.

[whitethronebooks]

Epic music in this episode.

[Napoliana]

@whitethronebooks I thought the same thing too, heh.

[whitethronebooks]

William Windom ... what a performance!

[gargoyle2bad4u]

@whitethronebooks William Windom gave a magnificent performance in this episode. Too bad his character had to die. Commodore Decker was a fine flag officer.

[SAMMYJS991]

@gargoyle2bad4u good thing he's dead, so I'm not complaining.

[kobyashi45]

2nd Fav after " Balance of Terror " !!!

[Roadracer987654321]

This Episode was Darn Good. We see Captain Kirk sticking to his Guns and standing up agaisnt one of his Superior Officers who he respected and Admired when he felt he was wrong. That alone could have cost him his Command. he showed that he is the Horatio Hornblower of the Royal navy in Outer Space...

William Windom was perfect as Fleet Commodore Decker who knew he screwed up and Killed his whol Scew out of Refusing to believe he could not win.

Kirk wondered in private aboard his Sanity.

[GreenX3Tea]

..how do you fall to the side in space?

[kobyashi45]

@GreenX3Tea generated gravity field environment within ship fails ???...lol

[Beandude202]

@GreenX3Tea artificial gravity is generated within the ship. the reason they fall to the side is the same reason why they don't float around inside the ship. if that's what you were asking.

[csiLover889]

ok i'v heard this line a lot but i don't know what episode it's from. " Very funny scotty, Now beam down my cloths" i would love if somebody told me what episode its from

[piplupsingularity]

that self-destruct countdown took longer than 30 seconds

[ForceMaximus84]

Chekov must be opening Uhura's hailing frequencies.

[butcherboy2008]

"You mean, youre the LUNATIC whose responsible for almost destroying my ship."

It's not "little dick."

[midwestclare]

The commodore appears to have a sparkly pretzel on his tunic.

[Runawaybreaks]

... Did he say little dick? If he did he's awesome. xD

"You mean you're the little dick who almost destroyed my ship?!"

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

@Runawaybreaks Lunatic.

[hoax4254]

That commodore's a bastard.

[Roadracer987654321]

Commodore Matthew Decker Screwed Up in the battle he had aboard the Starship USS Constellation against the Planet Wrecker. He was overconfident,unable to realise he could lose a Battle in Peacetime. He also with the Rank of Commodore was unwilling to admit in front of his Crew that he could not succeed in stopping a threat to the Populations to entire Star Systems that would need his protection. His Guilt at Causing the Deaths of his Entire Crew turned him into a Captain Ahab. He wanted Victory.

[Tinbuster00]

STUPID ADDS:STOP MAKING THEM TWICE AS LOUD AS THE SHOW

[julsf14]

@Tinbuster00 I agree. 

[EliteKids]

CBS, PLEASE post the remastered version

[frostyslug]

@EliteKids No, please do not swap out our cheesy, b-movie, sci-fi graphics for your fancy shmancy supercomputer graphics. We like ours where they stand.

[frutrot33]

who played the commodore of the Constellation?

[Kolimin68]

@frutrot33 William Windom played Commodore Decker

[NCTaikoDrumboy]

Here's a little piece of trivia for all of you... the gentleman out of the supporting cast who plays the role of Lieutenant Washburn, and whose real name is Richard Compton, went on to become a successful director in film and television. Exactly twenty years to the day after completing his work in THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE, Compton completed the directing of "Haven," one of the first episodes for the first season of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION.

[caitlinjane92]

OMG, I was surprised to suddenly hear Shatner use the "d" word here on this episode.

[lonstar70]

Why didn't they ever try photon torpedoes?

[WILLIAMCOOKE]

I hate these g*dd*mned commercials!!!!

[PhatFarm60]

This episode could be spliced into a "Trek meets Death Star" spoof.

[StewieSwan]

Should have checked the transporter logs first thing when they didn't find anybody.

[88pie88]

poor Matt =(

[stonesundial]

21:05 I love McCoy.

"Doctor, you are out of line."

"So are you! . . . sir."

[Starrfoxxxx]

Norman Reedus could've made an awesome McCoy but Karl Urban got that distinct McCoy dialect down pretty good, he did a fine job imho

[MetaKnightFan98]

gross...

star trek....

[HuasoPodrido]

I am no expert, but if somehow and if possible! they could replicate the hair spray Kirk uses,and use it on the dooms day machine, they may be able to just hold it in space!

[WC3POchannel10A]

@HuasoPodrido Kirks' hairspray, also known as "The Tholian Web."

[jipsieyes]

I remember this being one of the "scariest" episodes of Star Trek I'd ever seen, as a young child, when we'd watch the series on prime time in the late 60's (yep, I'm OLD)... but in later years, I found it corny, and that the Doomsday Machine looked more like a log burning from within, than anything truly menacing. Now, I can appreciate and enjoy the campiness... thanks for sharing, CBS. ;-)

[idcmore8]

I think Norman Reedus would have a 10x better Bones in Star Trek 2009.

[MoeDaMoe88]

@idcmore8 I love him but I don't think he could have done the accent. Karl Urban was GREAT as Bones. I cant wait to see more of him!

[idcmore8]

@MoeDaMoe88 I was just commenting on the looks. Its remarkable how similar they look.

[MoeDaMoe88]

@idcmore8 I can see it, but I dont think its thaaaaaaaat similar. I see it much more in Karl Urban. :)

[frndandlovr]

You worry about your miracle, Scotty. I'll worry about mine. Get to work. - AWESOME!!!!

[PabloPena108]

I would like to see Star Trek come out again on T.V. I think the perfect cast would be Stephen Colbert as J. Kirk, President Obama as Mr. Spock, Sanjay Gupta as Dr. McCoy, Jessica Simpson as Uhura and Bill O'Reilly as Scotty. What a hit!

[zaiuswasright]

This has always been my favorite episode of all Star Trek episodes! Watching Decker die is simply creepy. When I first saw this, I cried.

[megglet514]

kirk. get rid of that shirt. PLEASE. for the sake of your fans.

[RCSonicjet]

@thkaal1

No,not true,it was the Ncc-1017,Uss constellation,same class as the enterprise, in fact the numbers are just switched,he knew how to make it work,it's his job.

[jhunter1163]

At 28:30, there are two guys next to Scotty in engineering... but at 28:44, when they fire up the engines, Scotty is alone. Whoops!

[AceOfHeart2012]

Sulu: "Do you think the shuttle craft explosion might have done some damage?" See. It was the shuttle craft exploding that killed Commodore Decker.

[AceOfHeart2012]

What killed the Commodore? Maybe it was the shuttle craft exploding. Hard to get happy after that happens. William Windom was just superb in this ep.

[bieberlover992]

cool

[DragonerPhoenix]

I always wondered... what exactly inside the Doomsday Machine killed the Commodore? The radiation?? What do you guys think?

[PabloPena108]

@DragonerPhoenix I believe it's a combination of extremely compact ionic gasses capable of disrupting the molecular structure of all matter and causing a chain-reaction of implosions that reduce everything to subatomic particles. But, ya know, its of the cuff, I could actually be wrong.

[DragonerPhoenix]

@PabloPena108 But if these so called extremely compact ionic gases disrupted the molecular structure of the matter, then, how then would the commodore feel pain? It would destroy him immediately. Also, when the Doomsday Machine attacked the Enterprise with its jet wouldn't that destroy the shields as well as the hull, because it imploded the molecular structure? If your method of it working is correct, then the machine must be many times more powerful than depicted! I dont think that would work.

[PabloPena108]

@DragonerPhoenix Lol I was kidding. I just spurted out some random nonsense. I try not to analyze Star Trek too deeply. If you take it seriously you'll see there are huge flaws everywhere. If they ever approached light speed time distortions would be so bizarre that their universe wouldn't be possible. They'd fly to earth at Warp 9 only to find it's a 100 years in the past. But even at sub light speed others would age at an incredible clip. Good episode though.

[DragonerPhoenix]

@PabloPena108 Even so, the "random nonsense" you said actually could be possible somewhere in the universe. :) I agree, there are so many flaws it isn't funny, but isn't that the fun part; to find them? I love looking at mankind's past attempts to understand the impossible. It's fun to watch the errors. I love star trek because of this lol

[Spartacus217]

Next time the electricity goes out in my house I'm going to try the 2G6 circuit.

[PabloPena108]

@Spartacus217 Oh it's always the 2G6 circuit dude, always.

[Spartacus217]

Next time the electricity goes out in my house I'm going to try the 2G6 circuit.

[xxbeautybabesxx]

"I'm gonna ram her down that thing's throat!"

[saml760]

has always been in my all time top 5 from the original series.

[HubertHoratio]

Has a redshirt ever won a fight in the history of the series?

[anditslikethat]

Uh, why not shoot the phasers inside its mouth?

[tenkgent]

always has been in my Top10 among the OriginalSeries.

[gljohnson33]

damn !!

Hell Yeah!!!

ya gotta love the loyalty of security for Spock !

YES!!

i so love Spock... my hero....

slap that Commodore down!!

[couerl]

"There was, but notnymore"!

lol

[bartj777]

"I'm a doctor, not a mechanic."

[kittycat07223]

the best!

[therealkraas]

Where's Uhura? Shore leave?

[scdevon]

@therealkraas I thought Lt. Palmer did a fine job!

[landline00]

Not sure... Maybe some night club gig or a family emergency? Chekov is also absent.

[Kermitfrog101]

its tchekhov, by the way

[Renshen1957]

@therealkraas The Enterprise had three crew shifts, no one can be on duty 24/7.

[Aetrion]

*shakes fists* Answer me!

[niraha]

I actually had some respect for the red shirt at around 35:00-ish, he lasted longer than most in a fight.

[Aetrion]

He was kicking some ass at first, but he made the mistake of not finishing the comodore when he was down. :D

[Gandhiablo]

Srat Trek us a Lost in Space ripoff

[BondFreek]

Star Trek Voyager was a lost in space rip off. This was not.

[88pie88]

@Gandhiablo lost in space is a shit pile.

[frutrot33]

wasn't there an episode 8 in season 2?

[noobspure]

i used to hate this show, im actualy starting to like it more now that i watched this episode

[EmergencyMedHologram]

Were the call numbers of all ships seen in TOS a mixture of the numbers 0,1,1,7? : )

[AlvaroAndfriends]

This one was pretty intense i love it.

[theScytheofGod]

I love any program/movie where someone says, "Don't you think I know that?"

[roguelol]

is it just me, or do I keep noticing camera spanning on girls with their uniform covering barely down to their ass???

[theScytheofGod]

@roguelol it's not you, if this were on cable, they wouldn't even wear underwear, because you know, there aren't any panties in space.

[neneshubby]

Mister Scott.

[EnonimusTransmission]

Their vision of the future sure did involve a lot of random flashing lights.

[PC3900]

Shatner, Nimoy, and Windom did the best acting of the series in this classic episode.

[bigjoetube]

I would say excellent acting by all three, but the best of the original series in my opinion was "THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER" with Joan Collins. A true TV classic.

[RyuDarragh]

@bigjoetube: Despite the fact that TV produces bowed to the forces of PC even then. The original script was to involve recreational drug abuse, but that was felt to be "too controversial", so it was, very reluctantly, changed to a medical accident involving a drug for a hysterical injured crewman. Still one of the best, though. I especially loved the scene where Mr. Spock cobbles together a vacuum tube (valve) based adjunct to his tricorder to play back the video of the Guardian of Forever.

[BondFreek]

Wrong episode. The episode your thinking of was "The City on the Edge of Forever". Where McCoy had a drug problem and O.D.

[RyuDarragh]

@BondFreek: Uhm.. that *was* the episode I referred to. "I am the Guardian" was what the ring shaped time travel device called itself.

[BondFreek]

Then why did you not put the comment on that episode? It is posted here on Youtube by CBS.

[RyuDarragh]

@BondFreek: Because the comment is related to temporal paradox and the rewriting of the timeline, not a specidic espisode.

[BondFreek]

It was later chainged to an acidenttal injection.

[landline00]

@PC3900 Agreed. This is a wonderful epp that is flawless!

[cutis1000]

@PC3900 Why do you consider this the best acting of the series?

[fehlrock]

@PC3900  Oh HELL YAH !

[xero989]

i would say the best episode in TOS

[Kondaar]

15:54 lol it looks like a inflatable :D

[Docthewrench]

wow commericals non stop hell I will piss in vick daquil products from now on and put them back on the shelves

[videouzleg]

Wow the ancient bluetooth headset was really stylish! :D 0:30

[pigsticker762x54r]

Its a giant flying space turd!

[666ofdoom]

I enjoy the video keep up the good work.

[TheAgressiveSniper]

That is so old!

[mlbgecko]

And yet so insanly interesting and capitvating. That's the miracle of Star Trek, low budget with "astronomical" results. It's just as good 43 years later

[CarusIncendia]

They were referring to Bob, I believe. Not Star Trek.

[Zaz7y]

35:36 wow, that red shirt actually put up a good fight for a change. Go red!!

[nightwalk15]

LONGEST MOIVE I EVER SAW ON YOUTUBE!

[CapitanBluebeard]

Scotty is a wizard with the mecanical stuff gotta love him

[elmovans]

lets laugh search "Elmovans" and i garantee youll laugh

[Varegous]

I don't need clean teeth damnit! Stupid Colgate commercials...

[lifevest1]

39:18 and 47:20 = EPIC MUSIC!

[supressorgrid]

4:13 This is why smoking is not allowed on starships.

[landline00]

Kirk rocks and Picard only talks! :)

[landline00]

@4G63FD Did you actually watch the episode? This was explained.
