Hmm, back when me and my dad watched Original Series episodes together, we used to think Shatner was a great actor. I suppose we were just wrong then.
Sad the scene for that was more interesting: "Give me a Brandy!" he just walking into the room, and he says that, GRANDIOS, I will do that, next time when I go to my office!
That's one thing that always did disappointed me. The producers and directors should have done the same thing with the cast of TOS like they have done with the rest of the other Star Trek shows. Focus equal amount of attention onto other characters and not so much mainly on William Shatner's character.
To Magicguitaraxe; I think you had a typo...Shatner best OVER-ACTOR ever!! LOL!! Don't get me wrong. I like him, but he always had me laughing when he strangled some of his lines ala Shakespearian malefactor style. He became the favorite target of impersonaters the world over for this reason. Watching Kevin Pollak and/or Joe Alaskey imitate him (you can find them on YouTube) always brings tears to my eyes because they peg him spot on!!
Shatner's "overacting" is due to his theatre training. When he was in theatre productions, you had to over act back then to grab the attention of people in the back rows, away from the action. In "The Enemy Within" (The first transporter clip) the way he enters frame with his back to the audience and swivels round is a very theatre move, and something which makes you keep watching him.
I think he's a good actor tbh, imagine how boring Trek would be without him?
I agree. Being a naturalistic actor is not the same thing as being a good actor. Some actors are magnetic and entertaining even if they don't seem to behave in a "real world" style.
The actor Paul Darrow had a similar effect on the old BBC sci-fi series "Blakes Seven" as the character Avon. He was theatrical and borderline hammy, but, boy, he MADE that series work at times. He was the best thing in it.
@Robotdrummerzzk Lol it doesn't matter what the reason is it is still stupid as hell. I think he's a terrible actor because I don't try to rationalize away what is right in front of my eyes.
At 0:26 there are those damn windex spray bottles. You mean to tell me that they haven't figured out a better way to wash the windows in the 23rd Century? Talk about a cheap prop.
Crazy?? I do this every Saturday night man, well, except for the part about looking at the ensign like I want to suck his balls or something. There is no question though, on Saturday, I AM CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP!!!!
I like the " I said gimme the Brandy sceen " best , I can relate to that , being as a recovering alcoholic myself !!! I also think If i was aboard the ship I'd be the Yomen for sure !!! Yomen Sierra !!!!
@SuperSoldier87 I always hated how Kirk tried to rape her in this episode--and would have had the crewman not come along, and they tried to make it look like she wanted it to happen. Only in the '60s could you get away with something like that.
Its my ship! Im captain of the ship, its my ship, my ship! IM CAPTAIN KIRKKKKKK! LOL That is such an immortal piece of dialogue from, the Star Trek show.
The music does sound disturbing at that point as he swigs back a few, glugg, glugg, glugg IM CAPTAIN KIRKKKKKK! LOL
look, The Enemy Within has some of Shatner's best acting, and I'm not even joking. It's one of my favourite episodes of Star Trek the original series and when Kirk acts subdued as the good side of himself, he's very convincing and does a great job. Shatner's just a dramatic guy, and just because of that, it doesn't make him a bad actor. He's a charismatic guy with loads of personality, and he has his own style of acting yes, but it certainly isn't bad acting!
thankyou magicguitaraxe, he IS good, he's just a dramatic guy, and Shatner really worked hard on this episode, on both Kirk's evil and good side, it was one my favourite episodes and he did a great job.
@billyboyjennings As a matter of fact, I don't even think that comment was even remotely funny. You're not funny. It's a comment that doesn't relate to Kirk, or this clip. Unless you're a 12 or 13 year old boy, then take your retarded, sick, fucked up humor somewhere else. Unless of course you would prefer us to call you a pedophile?
@billyboyjennings Just because you get the thumbs up, doesn't mean jack. That only proves that there are other sick bastards out there agreeing to your comment. You have no morals.
How dare you say I have no morals! I am truly insulted.
Oh well, I would continue this argument, but I am so awfully fatigued from all the random murdering and raping I just did. Nothing like running butt naked through the streets, eating babies and beating heads in with rocks! Perhaps we can finish this some other time?
@billyboyjennings You have no morals, simple as that. You seem to get your rocks off by using immoral comments to see who will make you feel wanted. If you can't make a constructive comment, then don't bother. Have a good life.
Great early ham-bone performance by Shatner. It's still a good ep, examining how even our negative sides have uses. As Kirk discovers, without his "evil" half, he can't be captain.
lol I'm only 13 and I watch Star Trek on channels that show classic tv shows. I think it's funny how in alot of episodes Kirk ends up kissing a girl lol
I think that Shatner was at his best when he did this part, so much emotion and so out of character. Too bad now these days all he does is go around being a bumbling wise-crack. :\
Prophetofog: You are on point. It was a different era then, and TV was a bit more melodramatic. It's only fitting that Shatner's at times over-the-top performances would be underscored by overly dramatic music as well. For my money, his "I said give me the brandy" is probably the best Kirk line ever!
