Stardate 5843.8--Rayna has become self-aware and has discovered the power of choice. Unfortunately, this new found discovery has overwhelmed the vacuum tubes which power her, and she has keeled over from the effort.
I liked the premise of this episode. However, even for a far-out science fiction series it's just too far out to believe that Kirk, a guy who gets more intergalactic ass than a star ship toilet seat, could fall in love with someone after 20 minutes.
00:18 Rytalin cannot be found as a mineral on this planet -- The Earthling called Ron Popeil holds the U.S. Patent on this hair growth aerosol ; you spray Rytalin on any organic surface, and --WALLA-- filaments of real human hair grow where no hair has grown before !

1. Kirk tried to fight for an android woman when he had other chances with real women? 2. I wish Spock had his brandy so we could see his human side come out more. 3. Kirk,you're ship is in trouble. What's wrong with you? 4. Flint could have made another android...
One of those times when the story was more important than the characters. Kirk acted a bit to much out of character. His love has always been his ship. This girl wasn't even his type. But the story seemed to be more about the concept of love and it's multitasking issues and complexity. And a bit about being alone as well and what that might be like. Kirk was just a tool for the story as much as he was for Flint until Flint also became his own tool.
How SELFISH of Kirk, imposing his wishes on her. This is in direct contradiction to how he treated Vanna in the Gamesters of Triskellion where he seduced the poor girl and then just left her!
@naruto5665. Jane Fonda is more then a communists, She visited our troops in a concentration camp collected personal messages that they wanted smuggled out, and then turned around and gave their messages to the commandant.
Bones: oh Sorian Brandy over 100 yrs old...Spock I know you won't have some Heaven forbid those perfect mathematical brain waves be corrupted by this all to human vice"
Spock "Thank You Doctor I will have a brandy"
Kirk: *Shocked face*
Bones: "do you think the two of us can handle a drunk Vulcan? once that alcohol hits that green blood Whoohoo!"
Also, this episode reminded me of the Amber-Wilson story arc from House. For those who know/care, I have always wondered how can Wilson (after 3 marriages and many girlfriends) fall so hopelessly in love with a girl that her death (again not House's fault) causes him to quit his job/ alienate House/ move away. Bit of an over-reaction!
As others have said, the fact that a womanizer like Kirk falls so emotionally in love with an android so quickly does not make sense. And one can't argue that it wasn't the pussy because as an android she specifically does not have 'true' feelings for him. A little wave of the hand on the writers part.
The writer of this episode (Jerome Bixby) has penned a brilliant movie that expands on the idea of being an immortal in the modern world. It is called "The Man From Earth". Do yourself a favor and rent/buy this dvd. I will personally reimburse the cost if anyone is dissatisfied! ;)
Did anyone else want Spock and Rayna to discuss sub-dimensional physics? I know I looked forward to that conversation, LOL! But of course, horn dog Kirk had to mess that up...
I think talked about this theory to a friend of mine regarding a silly video game idea I've got; if a human being, were to be rendered immortal, without the soul being purified first, they would become consumed by hubris.
Poor Rayna, is a monument to Flint's monstrous ego. That is why he loves her.
Huh? Everything affects everything else, sure... but what does that have to do with "soul purification"? Are you suggesting that things around this "soul" be purified in order to prevent hubris?
the human ego is stubborn; you take someone of social, economic and political importance, place them outside in near freezing temperatures, strip them naked and let the cold set in, and even as their body struggles with the cold they'll STILL be arrogant.
That is how monstrous the human ego is, which is why making the soul pure is so difficult.
The reason the monks of the Shaolin temple train so hard at Kung Fu, and endure training akin to torture, is to give the mind no choice but to recognize the body's limits, and hopefully help eliminate arrogance and self conceit. The way the Daoist hermits do it, is by simply withdrawing from society period; no on to criticize, or praise you, no one to destroy, or magnify, your ego. That's where the reasoning comes from.
The way the ancient Hebrews did it, was by living in the desert; alone. The wilderness of Israel, especially the negev, is still some of the most dangerous in the world. If the arid nature doesn't get you, Beduin drug smugglers and gun runners will. In ancient times, it was brigands and thieves. Normally though in ancient times nobody bothered hermits; I doubt modern crooks living in the desert would either.
the argument of most religions is, that Heaven, or "God," or "transcendent reality" whatever you call it, is in fact all around us; it is in fact your own arrogance that blocks it out.
Different spiritual and philosophical traditions have developed different, sometimes strange, ways of crushing the human ego. The Shaolin do it through Kung Fu, the Daoists through living like hermits and "emptying the mind," Muslims, through Jyhad, endless Koran recitation.
Modern Judaism however, is by its very nature corrupt, cowardly, and as interpreted by the Talmud just plain evil. No Orthodox Jew anywhere in Israel, likely believes in God so much, they'd be willing to place their life in his hands, and have the courage to live alone in the desert. They even went so far as to write in the religion, that ALL supernatural phenomena is "magic."
The whole prohibition of magic in Judaism, was made by corrupt Levite priests, so that if any supernatural power wielding faithful to God types showed up, the people would condemn them. How can I put this another way? If you do not want to be exposed as a money grubbing fraud that doesn't really believe in God, the best thing to do, is to condemn ALL miracles, as works of the devil, or as works of magic.
Judaism does not hold the view, that the soul can be purified, the Rabbis do not care if you glow with perfect health, they do not care if your soul is so pure flowers may grow wherever you step even; their condemnation of magic, is rooted in the need to protect themselves from being exposed as the hypocritical frauds that they are. Islam, has a similar prohibition.
Now, not everything supernatural indeed comes from god; virtually all spiritual traditions beyond the Abrahamic ones war, that yes there are demons, yes there are evil spirits, and rather than nourishing your body and soul, they exact a heavy toll for their services. They could demand a piece of your life, causing you to age more rapidly, a child sacrifice, orgies, all kinds of grotesqueries.
Delving in the occult, is EXTREMELY dangerous; the reason witches are portrayed as cadaverous old crones, is rooted in the fact that evil spirits will, again, exact a form of "payment" for their services. Although God, or Buddha, or whoever it is, does not demand payment, the ruler of the universe DOES demand intense effort.
Believe it or not George Lucas actually had it right;
In things dealing with spiritual matters there IS a "dark side," a "quick and easy path."
All magic requires, is ritual, the right incantations, and combinations of herbs and what not, and, anyone can be initiated into it believe it or not. In short its the "quick and easy path."
However attaining the Dao, Buddhist Nirvana, or ancient Hebrew prophethood, by contrast, requires the deepest sacrifices.
I wish you hadn't said all that about Judaism. I understand that arrogance blinds up, yes, but what makes you think that Jews are all arrogant? Wait, no. I think that if I provoke you any more, one or both of us will have some consequences to suffer. The argument you make does, I think you should know, ignore the fact that most religion requires a belief that there is one right path-- and this is always the path of the believer. It fosters arrogance. I do think that your view is off, sorry.
I love how Kirk's entire crew is about to die and all he can think about is getting it on with the android......geez.....talk about misplaced priorities.
What happened to the Prime Directive? How many times did Spock have to remind "Captain" Kirk to keep his mind on the welfare of his crew? Kirk should be restricted from landing party duty and glued to his throne on the bridge.
lol I can so imagine Bones and Spock gluing Kirk's butt and feet to his captains chair with gorilla glue and then go "sorry it's for your own good" lol XD
You're an ass. You throw yourself at anything with a pulse and can't accept it if they don't feel the same way. You always blow off Spock even though he treats you like gold and always protects you from your own arrogance. Jerk. And you think you're soooo fucking charming......well, ya kinda are. That's why you're Kirk, and that's why we love you.
Am I the only one to notice that when Spock touches Kirk's face at the end and says "Forget", it's almost identical to when he touches McCoy's face in "Wrath of Khan" and says, "Remember?"
Trasporter Technology is top of the line Federation tech. but yet the closest they can can get to somthing they need really really bad to make medicine, is 2.14km, what the hell.....2 kliqs is a hell of walk for a damn plant. just beam me 2 feet next to it
Question: At the end, when Spock mind-melds with sleeping Kirk, does he do so to feel Kirk's love for Rayna so that he knows what love feels like (McCoy made a strong point there before he left that could have left him curious) or to help Kirk to forget Rayna because he is a good friend? In short, what was the purpose of when Spock uttered: "Forget" at the end? Did he say it because he had felt love and wondered how anyone could forget, or was he suggesting to Kirk to forget?
I'm pretty sure that the "Forget" was aimed at Kirk. But you're right, I really did wonder if Spock was curious as to exactly what Kirk was feeling. If you watch his face when he melds with Kirk his eyes sort of widen in surprise and this look of sadness comes over his face. I was very touched even though this episode was a bit off putting at times. (She's an android!) Also don't forget, Vulcans can feel emotions even more than humans, they simply do not act on them.
idk why, but kirk rly pisses me off in this episode. The girl has never seen men before, and she is obviously completely innocent in most ways and he simply takes it upon himself to get all over her the first second they're alone. u can see her "wtf" face at around 23 min. normally i'm ok with kirk, but this time just gets on my nerves.
Your a girl, I say that the women was the one who sent the love signals.
If your a male, don't get jealous. But I really think your a girl and obviously you've been hurt in a relationship that formed quickly like kirk and the girl. Their relationship will end badly also? It's not always like that.You can't always understand why you love this person because it comes unexpectedly , kind of like the girl not understanding her love towards Kirk. Like flint liking the girl without even knowing it.
I agree more with turpin here. The droid is totally innocent. The argument against child sexual abuse is that the kids don't understand the significance of sex yet-- and this is more profound a lack of understanding. Kirk is coming on to a being whose emotions have not emerged yet, much less been reasoned out and controlled to a civil degree. She is not in a position to consent. Thus, he is molesting her. Not cool, my friend. Not cool. And no, I don't have relationship issues, thank you. :)
You know I've been a Blade Runner fan since it's release in 1982. I've seen all the versions many, many times and I've never once gotten the vibe that Deckard might be a replicant. It's just doesn't add up.
The storyline in this Star Trek episode is very similar to the movie "Forbidden Planet" which inspired this show.

The argument you make does, I think you should know, ignore the fact that most religion requires a belief that there is one right path-- and this is always the path of the believer. It fosters arrogance. I do think that your view is off, sorry.

He's psychotic; I think the writer of this episode agrees with my sentiment, that someone who lived to be that age would eventually go insane.
A respectable actor; I like how he handled an "immortal character."

yeah, Kirk was a little off the wall in this one, falling for an android-
I love Spock in this- he wants Kirk to keep it together, but tries to keep him from seeing the androids, 'cause it'll hurt him-
And he's so eloquent in this on love and other things-so is McCoy, all in all a great episode

maybe she had a vibrator function; specifically speaking a female android is called a "gynoid," and maybe their pussy could be modified to vibrate.

What happened to the Prime Directive? How many times did Spock have to remind "Captain" Kirk to keep his mind on the welfare of his crew? Kirk should be restricted from landing party duty and glued to his throne on the bridge.

Dear Kirk,
You're an ass. You throw yourself at anything with a pulse and can't accept it if they don't feel the same way. You always blow off Spock even though he treats you like gold and always protects you from your own arrogance. Jerk. And you think you're soooo fucking charming......well, ya kinda are. That's why you're Kirk, and that's why we love you.

Am I the only one to notice that when Spock touches Kirk's face at the end and says "Forget", it's almost identical to when he touches McCoy's face in "Wrath of Khan" and says, "Remember?"

Question: At the end, when Spock mind-melds with sleeping Kirk, does he do so to feel Kirk's love for Rayna so that he knows what love feels like (McCoy made a strong point there before he left that could have left him curious) or to help Kirk to forget Rayna because he is a good friend? In short, what was the purpose of when Spock uttered: "Forget" at the end? Did he say it because he had felt love and wondered how anyone could forget, or was he suggesting to Kirk to forget?
ProfessorSasquatch13 2 years ago 5
He was making him forget her. No doubt about it.
Bobanort 2 years ago 5
@ ProfessorSasquatch13
I'm pretty sure that the "Forget" was aimed at Kirk. But you're right, I really did wonder if Spock was curious as to exactly what Kirk was feeling. If you watch his face when he melds with Kirk his eyes sort of widen in surprise and this look of sadness comes over his face. I was very touched even though this episode was a bit off putting at times. (She's an android!) Also don't forget, Vulcans can feel emotions even more than humans, they simply do not act on them.

idk why, but kirk rly pisses me off in this episode. The girl has never seen men before, and she is obviously completely innocent in most ways and he simply takes it upon himself to get all over her the first second they're alone. u can see her "wtf" face at around 23 min. normally i'm ok with kirk, but this time just gets on my nerves.
turpinx2 2 years ago 2
Your a girl, I say that the women was the one who sent the love signals.
If your a male, don't get jealous. But I really think your a girl and obviously you've been hurt in a relationship that formed quickly like kirk and the girl. Their relationship will end badly also? It's not always like that.You can't always understand why you love this person because it comes unexpectedly , kind of like the girl not understanding her love towards Kirk. Like flint liking the girl without even knowing it.
EmperorJapan 2 years ago
I agree more with turpin here. The droid is totally innocent. The argument against child sexual abuse is that the kids don't understand the significance of sex yet-- and this is more profound a lack of understanding. Kirk is coming on to a being whose emotions have not emerged yet, much less been reasoned out and controlled to a civil degree. She is not in a position to consent. Thus, he is molesting her. Not cool, my friend. Not cool. And no, I don't have relationship issues, thank you. :)

You know I've been a Blade Runner fan since it's release in 1982. I've seen all the versions many, many times and I've never once gotten the vibe that Deckard might be a replicant. It's just doesn't add up.

If that didn't go through... just do a search on "is Deckard a Replicant" the one on the BRmovie Site.
