Wink of an Eye

[sevadaj]

When Kirk and Deela made love, Kirk must of been faster than a speeding bullet, If you know what I mean! :-)

16:54

THE MATRIX

[Kreityl]

haha 48:55 spock makes a punny :p didnt know you had in ya spocky boy lol

[supereg0tist]

they have the cure... why not help "repopulate" the planet before leaving?

have a quickie...

[wardenphil]

@supereg0tist Had I been a male crewmember, I would have graciously volunteered for this assignment!!!

[shakikhan08]

K 10

very sexy lady

[tienen23]

I found it an accelerating experience

[us1776]

sould have taken that water with them and used it every time they got into trouble

[bringdbeatback]

anyone got a pudding cup?

[charlesvan13]

At 11:20 the computer was programmed by a Frenchman.

[lonelygeorgeturtle]

i love how spock thinks that the coffee made kirk dissapear

[stanfordsan]

Deela's plan went wrong when she told kirk she will be the only woman he'll be with the rest of his life.

[Fritheby]

Attack of the Killer Bs

[GodIsArEdsoXfan]

8:48 of course the redshirts are thrown back, yet Kirk and Spock are fine.

[yourcollectables1]

That chick can come aboard my ship anytime.

[b4ifly2paradise]

Kathie Browne as Deela = HOTTEST STAR TREK BABE EVER!

[MrRicardoSpears]

Had they given Ila and her group the antidote, it wouldvn't have mattered. It was in their planetary water supply. They would have been forced to drink it again to stay alive.

[BondFreek]

Warning!!! "aquaristic" is a Troll, and admits it proudly!!

[jimmyboo121]

Call me weird, but I have a HUGE crush on McCoy's nurse...

[aperson22222]

"There is a scientific explanation for it, but all that really matters is. . . . " How refreshing! On any of the later Star Trek series, she'd spend two full minutes saying something like "Our temporal quantum position is out of phase with yours because a trasspectral polaron field has inverted our gravimetric distortions by a coefficient of 1.72 percent. . . . "

[mungeclimber]

seat cushion defense manuever!

[MrSpockify]

Even though Kirk and Spock could move in the wink of an eye... Wouldn't their phasers still move normal speed? So, the phaser would shoot really slow at 45:52 ish?

[PrometheusWithLight]

Haven't gotten to that part yet, but technically, no. Their phasers shoot a beam of energy, which travels at light speed. Because of relativity, light seems to move at the same speed no matter how fast you go.

[BondFreek]

@PrometheusWithLight. Kirk is traviling at the speed of light. why do you think the title is called "wink of an eye"?

[PrometheusWithLight]

No he damn well is not. If he were moving any faster than the speed of sound, there wouldn't be buzzing, but explosions. Have you never heard of a sonic boom?

Furthermore, if they were moving that quickly, time dilation would cause the normal people to stop. They were still moving to Kirk, just very slowly.

The title is a reference to the fact that Kirk couldn't be seen by the human eye, which is hypothetically possible at below-sound speeds.

[BondFreek]

@PrometheusWithLight. Sonic BOOM only happens when the sound bearer is broken the first time. you will not hear it after mock 1. The buzzing sound is the sound of Kirks voice slowing down to the speed of sound. That's why it takes hours for anyone to hear them. Finally people would not come to a stop. they would look frozen but come back an hour later and they would have moved.

[wardenphil]

@BondFreek An aircraft traveling at supersonic speed makes a continuous BOOM along its ground track. An observer on the ground only hears it momentarily because the aircraft has gone on its way.

[BondFreek]

@wardenphil. Are you a jet piliot?

[BondFreek]

@wardenphil. You did not answer my question, therefore I'm going to assume the answer is No.

[PrometheusWithLight]

Oh, you wanna go?

1. As you move faster than the speed of sound, you create a vacuum silhouette. As air rushes in to fill this vacuum, it creates a pressure wave, in other words, a sound. This isn't usually noticeable with supersonic aircraft, partially due to our distance from them, and partially because they're very aerodynamic; only a very small silhouette is formed. Because lightspeed exceeds the speed of sound by a considerable amount, and because Captain Kirk isn't very aerodynamic, a

[PrometheusWithLight]

very large silhouette would be created, thus resulting in a very loud noise.

2. Increased speed also means increased air friction. If he were moving at near light speeds, he should be setting himself on fire just by walking.

3. At light speed, time no longer exists, at least as we perceive it. It involves a bit of physics. Do study relativity a bit. You know how Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen perceived every moment simultaneously? That's a bit like how it works from the photon's point of view.

[PrometheusWithLight]

As for the buzzing sound, no, that's not how sound works.

Because time, for kirk, is sped up, the frequency of his voice increases, thus changing it to an insect-like whine. The wavelength, naturally, decreases, thus increasing the tempo of his speech to the point where it can't be understood. It's comparable to the Doppler effect, if you're familiar.

[unhacker]

@PrometheusWithLight And people say Trekkies are geeks. I cannot /imagine/ why! ;)

[PrometheusWithLight]

@unhacker

Bitch, I'm a nerd.

Yes, there is a difference.

Besides, I learned this physics stuff years ago! I only started watching the show sometime in the past few months.

[MrlynMac]

Lt. Uhura has a sexy voice.

[MrRicardoSpears]

Nurse Chapel (Majel Barrett Roddenberry) would've made a great first officer. I'm talking about the original pilot with Captain Pike. It's too bad that they had to retool that aspect (among others) by the time it aired. I would also like to say R.I.P. to Mrs. Roddenberry. (December) You will be missed.

[justsum1ukno]

To the indiv who commented about the Bose-Einstein Condensate, it would be facinating to see the results of a test in which the light was slowed down in isolation along with something that naturally changes visibly with time

[StuPadazzo]

LOL. Kirk brings pillow to knife fight... 38:43

[HerrMac]

Kirk freakin' rode that pony. Hell yeah.

[Vegue]

lmao oh kirk, you and your funny way of saying things <3

[ninjalinkninja]

Dodging a phaser makes them faster than light. Might be possible if Einstein was wrong. He was right about matter and energy being interchangable, though. So, we won't know if he was right until we reach light speed or learn more about the properties of light with Bose-Einstein Condensate, which is able to slow light down to 1 mile an hour. The question is: are we slowing the light down, or are we slowing time down inside the condensate?

[GangstaGeisha666]

lol 8:47 no redshirts allowed!!!!

[EnterprisePhantom]

Lol at 20:13

Spock: At 8 AM today, someone poisons the coffee. Do NOT drink the coffee. More instructions will follow. Cordially, Future Spock.

[ronniejoe1967]

why are all the damn videos locking up or freezing

[Spencerianism]

You're gettin that too ha? Starting to peave me a bit.

[AceOfHeart2012]

Kirk: "I believe in honest relationships myself." (Check the simultaneous hair kino. What a smoothie!)

[VinMan182]

lol scimpy outfit

[nejisacco]

Invisable People!!! LOL

[polysmart]

What a loyal bunch of security personnel.

[steph88nyc]

OMG she is SO ANNOYING.

[JETEYE2012]

Why didnt they share the antidote? Are those not the gayest male alien costumes ever? A corsage communicator in silver lamé?????? Phallic aluminum ray guns??? Why was there no federation women being abducted? There were two alien men in need..... or were they?

[titusand]

maybe that looks like your phallus... lol! Sorry, I couldn't help it.

[vfabs31]

the guys were sterile she said

[wardenphil]

I also wondered why they didn't share the antidote. As this was hardly a "normally developing culture", sharing the antidote would not have violated the Prime Directive.

[tatisample1]

That's what I was trying to figure out. Why didn't they give them the antidote. In a sense, they kind of left that species on there barren planet to die. They can't reproduce. This episode was disappointing :(

[JETEYE2012]

The 23rd century and they dont have cup holders on the bridge

[wardenphil]

Note also that, except for the Captain's Chair, the seats aren't fastened to the deck. This always did seem absurd to me, especially for the Helmsman & Navigator.

[wardenphil]

@wardenphil The lack of sturdy seats with occupant restraints always puzzled me as well.

[clintonearlwalker]

@wardenphil U realize this program was made in 1968, in 1968 NO ONE wore seat belts, most people didn't even know what they were. Cars had them, but there were no seat belt laws an no one wore them, I know many people that still don't wear them to this day. Many things in this sci-fi program are far from reality, probably occupant restraints was simply overlooked.

[wardenphil]

@clintonearlwalker Yes, but even in 1968, both astronauts and the helmsmen on nuclear submarines were restrained in their seats - both were public knowledge.

[clintonearlwalker]

@wardenphil I doubt if the people that made this TV show were either astronauts or helmsmen. They prolly rode to work everyday in a car, and u can bet they didn't wear any seatbelts. Having restrained crew members may have been an oversight, or may have been purposeful for the dramatic effect of having crewmen bouncing around simulating turbulence. This effect can also be seen on WW II movie ships on occasion.

[planetiowa]

Spock seems awfully formal starting at 1:32. I'm thinking Nimoy didn't want to be on the set that day!

[ErzengelWeiss]

Haha I love how Spock enjoys the effects of the water.

[ManBearPigWolf]

Spock on acid 43:00. Haha

[ManBearPigWolf]

Them redshirts get murdered LOL. I wonder what life insurance premiums are for redshirts.

[Totalwar476]

13:19 Kirk is like looks like another woman to seduce and giver her a STD

[earp1673]

Hence the sexy music

[OzzyCoop]

Those hospital beds are awesome! 6:20 Im surprised nobody makes those.

[Hidazuu]

wait lol they didnt give them the antidote???? wdh? theyre louder than the show because the show was made quite some time ago. its quality had to be digitally amplified while the commercials were made in decent 192kbs +. therfore the commercials appear to be louder than the actualy show. ampplifying them any more ie to match the volume of your computer and\or commercials would probably distort the sound into unrecognizeable sounds. (lol thats my mr.spock-answer for you)

[twhis]

don't leave a voice message, just write spock a darn note!!!!!!

[xXTheSharpestLifeXx]

Apparently they don't have a pen and paper in the 23rd century! haha. :)

[TheDeathofGrace]

thats exactly what i thought he would do. wth.

[twhis]

we see a new room on the enterprise - and its pastel colored! :^)

[AceOfHeart2012]

A Battle Class Star Ship floating in space. The Captain setting his coffee on his main control panel without the benefit of a cup holder. Real smart!

[bwworld]

Yeah, I noticed that too. They hadn't invented future cup holders in the 60s. LOL!

[madebutante]

i love that purple outfit that's crazy!

[LudicrousTachyon]

I wonder if google measures the ratio of commercial related comments to show related comments, because the commercials are ridiculously loud. Is there a way we can bitch at them? I don't know what any of these commercials are about because I mute them all for being 10x louder than the show.

[madebutante]

you can watch all the commercials first by clicking on the marks on the play bar, then go back to the beginning and watch the whole show w/o LOUD interuptions!

[hoyaDPM]

Why are the commercials much louder than the show? Does anyone else have this problem?

[madebutante]

I'm guessing because the shows are older the quality of audio isn't that great....and the commercials are newer, louder.

but you can watch all the com'ls at the beginning by clicking on the marks on the play bar, then go to the beginning with the volume HIGH w'o fear of getting eardrums imploded!

[wardenphil]

Why are the commericals so much louder? To get your attention, same as on regular TV.

[thedipstick33]

the show was recorded in a different audio type

[jeanclaude36]

So Kirk must of bust a nut in 0.100th of a second.

[TheWilliamcale]

note to self watch this episode next

[ktenn1]

lol scotty must have had time to go to the ship's barber and get a new do before the landing party beamed up

[HappyGirl01234567890]

Kirk getting his boot = they just had sex X]

[HappyGirl01234567890]

At about 12 minutes did Kirk just get kissed by an invisible alien or is he just pondering what going on? lol

[yougotmefriend]

am I the only one who lols everytime i see the colgate commercial with "dr. fang"?

[StarTronAlpha]

This was probably one of the really low budget episodes (most scenes on the enterprise), that Nimoy mentioned in TVLegends to save money. It was STILL a great episode!

[EVEMASTER99]

kirk was geting it ownnnnn

[101wuzup1]

she is the fastest woman i have ever seen. in more ways than one

[Kennedy47407]

Spock: "That was quite an accelerating experience"

haha

[DedyPhlincke]

SCIENCE!

[Knerdzilla]

Scotty looks weird in the Captain's chair...>>;;

[Aniwan78]

And thusly yet ANOTHER lost in space love child has been conceived by the infamous Captain Kirk.

[IndieComedyFilms]

well said.

[Nightsurf59]

On that score, it could be said that Kirk was the James Bond of outer space......

[MartialArtsfreestyle]

lol man out in the universe even real advance species still have horny bitches who do crazy shit for cock. and they blind themselves by callind it love lol

[Fronator]

Everyones hair looks really bad in this episode.

[DemonH2]

I immediately noticed that city backdrop is the same one used in the episode where that planet that used computers to wage war, and then send their people into suicide booths when the computer labeled them as dead...

[d3sst]

definitely one of the trippiest episodes

[d3sst]

and another red-shirt bites the dust

[barrelrollfangirl]

I betcha the Federation could've found people willing to leave this level and join theirs... Granted, those willing guinea pigs would show up and meet the grandsons and granddaughters of the people Kirk met...

[orkutster]

This episode makes no logical sense.

If the captain is moving many many times faster than spock and McCoy, then everything that happened between Captain in the accelerated form would have taken 1 microsec in Spock time. So by the time Spock and McCoy discovered the antidoe, Captain kirk would have died of old age in the accelerated form.

Am I right? or am I missing something here? I remember thinking the same thing when I watched this episode 20 years ago.

[nubzz]

After an episode: "Mr. Sulu, plot a course for outpost 22, we need another crate of red shirts."

[Fronator]

LOL, you are completely correct!

[dontcallmesurely]

Mr. Spock saves the day!

[soz94]

Again!!!

[Shinimegami23]

seriously, Spoke is always saving the crew!

[dldupuy]

yummy sexy Kirk!!!

[nitindev]

come on, go for sperm banks,, you don't need men to mate...

[glimmer2158]

Faster than the speed of life!

[bellcms]

I don't blame her for taking Kirk. The telosian men dress like fairy princes.

[BlazingOwnager]

What a bunch of dicks they are sometimes. Keeping it secret that they can cure the acceleration problem, instead condemning them back to their own planet.. I guess Kirk didn't want to pay child support in the case his job succeeded.

[prreynolds]

Maybe we can give Kirk the benefit of the doubt He'll make a full report to Star Fleet, which will be passed on to the Federation, since it involved an alien planet. Since this was year 3 of a projected 5 year series, there may have been a sequel planned. I'd like to think that Roddenberry may have wanted the Scalosians & the Federation to have come to some type of mutually beneficial arrangement. They appear to offer advanced technology. Federation has the cure. win-win

[Gutpunchtaker]

It's also a shame the Telosians never made a third appearance. Surely if they were widly disbursed, they could have avoided using their power of illusion. Instead they didn't even try to addapt them selves. Even after Captain Pike came back to them they just stayed on their planet.

[crazycoolone]

They cannot decellerate the people of that civilization because they die when they've tried in the past.

Kirk probably got her knocked up & that's his contribution to their society. Plus, Compton did his thing too.

The Thelosians got what they bargained for... I don't think they should do anything but quarantine that planet since they were trapping folks all the time... do you?

LOL!!!! That's the Venus Fly trap planet!!!!

I think they should have re-named this episode.

[Karbear955]

poor red shirts.. they nvr get a chance... lol

[collapseofthedollar]

funny how they use the same backgrounds. also funny , a random rookie always dies right in the beginning

[dancefever6am]

LOL when kirk gets those pillows for defense, and then throws them at him. 38:38.

[Relativaty]

Why didnt they give the cure to them?

[Rivin2e]

Space... the final frontier....

TOS was the best!

[MisterGibs]

"What are you going to do with us?"

Federation answer: What do you want us to do?

Typical effete Terran response.

Romulan answer: orbital bombardment.

Long Live The Empire!

[theVIIStar]

which is also why the Empire will eventually span the galaxy... >B}

[virgy45]

She's a dog--highly resistable.

[BookwormGirl16]

lol, I love me some red shirts

[mikeyvengeance]

Why didn't they share the cure to the acceleration with them?

[SpockLuvsLogic]

They were stuck there because of radiation, thye were staying so that they could find human mates faster to repopulate the species becasue all of the males were steryl. Not only that but I don't know if they could be slowed down... Great ep though!

[KeePinitREAL1025]

its weird thinking that these women are hot cuz if you think about it they are probably walking with a cain right now damn there 75 year old women lol

[nurdeens]

lol she has large tits and this is kirk checking em out 32:55

[runner305]

@nurdeens rofl

[benzifernozle]

9:00 i am afraid you are wrong spock it is only because they are dead, i mean red, shirts

[doneidson]

Happened so fast, I couldn't see it.

[clyde2801]

Kirk has his first experience with expresso.

[CJTVProductions]

yeah- it was made in the 1960's- you think it's going to look real if it was made 40 years ago?

[armand1280]

It looks a damn sight more real than CGI. Computers ruined entertainment.

[clokverkorange]

LOL 12:57 Kirk is like "DAMN what was in that coffee?"

[msprecious1]

How did Scotty know that Spock was anywhere near the transporter room? Opps Butterfingers.

[lad500]

A great episode. Suffers from the flaw that the Scoloseans would have been hanging out for a year by the time Bones discovered the antidote and Spock walked back to the bridge. They had plenty of time to foil those plans. Oh well. Time disparity is a tough concept to portray.

[sweetleaf2009]

cuz he be the man.....DUH!

[wileyc0y0te]

Why do all females of even alien races have the hots for Kirk?

[JawsVictim]

Because Kirk is a MAN. At least, by Star Trek terms.

[beautifulpassion]

Or any terms ever.

[hanoc101]

coz Kirk has game.

[wardenphil]

Starting at 38:30...CAPT James Horndog Kirk.

[JawsVictim]

What a typical youtuber comment. It's all in caps, to denote the lower intelligence of the poster who is shouting, it uses the term "Gay" in a derogatory sense, indicating the commenter is unenlightened, young, and foolish. (Possibly even a closet Homosexual.) Your statement is illogical.

[Orypeci]

"Gay" was used in the campy sense of the word, and the day that the culture built around that word is dead is the day I'll stop using that word.

Capitals were used to emphasize-just as you did, "Because Kirk is a MAN" sound familar?

The rest of your insults don't matter to me, so I won't address them-except to say that I can use big words just as well as you can. Good day.

[JawsVictim]

I was kidding. I wrote it like Spock would. Seeee?

[mooniemoney]

Majel Barrett was pretty hot.
