@brusselstarlight: as well as Dr. Ann Mulhall, the astrobiologist that was mysteriously summoned as part of the landing party to the transporter room by aliens and became a host body to one of them - Sargon's bride. Season 2, Episode 20. She was even more striking in that episode. Amazing how different she c ame off as Dr. Pulaski though her features and voice remained the same.
When the Indian girl is knocked out by the stoning, she is lying to the side of the opening to the interior of the oblisque. When Kirk hits the musical notes necessary and the oblisque opens, she is directly on top of it.
Kirk did not have on a visor when they left, and should have lost his mind at that point, Spock had his on. and even if he did have one on Kirk is not a Vulcan or blind.
@goback3spaces Sorry but your wrong, Diana Muldaur was 28 when this was made. When she played Dr. Polasky in TNG she was about 47. Birth name: Diana Charlton Muldaur Gender: Female Date of birth: 19 August 1938.
@BondFreek Hooray for Diana, but Dr. Jones (the character) doesn't look 28. Is the implication of your message that a woman of 28 should be called a girl? If so, I agree with you. I do it all the time.
@goback3spaces Oh good. Why don't you tell that to Diana? I think she would love the idea that she looked 40 when she was 28. Get real. She was young and extremely gorgeous.
It's a shame so many episodes are so viciously misogynist - and have such terrible scripts. I can't help but thinking that with a minimum of script supervision/re-writing Star Trek would be even more highly regarded than it already is
Miranda was SUCH a Mary-Sue. Special gifts, beautiful, "brilliant", and has a deep secret. And all the guys are in love with her. I hate Mary-Sue's.
Anyone else like how Spock is revealing how he "really feels" about the crew. Kirk is his bff and he knows Uhura's name meaning and quotes love poetry to her? Suspiiiiicious ;) Spock's a genius but it still wouldn't make sense for him to learn a little Swahili without motivation *chuckle*
@Elfinesmom. Spock knows over a dozen different cultures including meanings of names. He is not in love with Uhura. Spock likes blonds. "All Our Yesterdays", "This Side Of Paradise" and "The Cloud Miners". All blond women, all Spock loved. Spock almost mated With Chapel in "Amok Time" (Scene: Chapel walked in to tell Spock that they were going to Vulcan, Spock talked about how it is illogical to deny attraction.)
@BondFreek I respect your opinion. I'm not really suggesting there was anything between them TOS, however, the new movie is canon and Spock's displays for Uhura in it trump his collective behavior this side of pon farr. Looks like chocolate really does intoxicate Vulcans.
I don't care what Paramount says or makes. The new movie is not canon. It was not produced by Harve Benet, Nick Myer, or DC Fontana. The movie was not executively consulted by the Rodenberry family. Everyone Gen Roddenberry left his legacy too had no say as to what was going to be made. Therefore Gen Rodenberry would not have approved of it. Therefore it is not canon. If Majel Rodenberry had known what they were doing, I doubt she would have loaned her voice to the movie.
@BondFreek Speculation. She did. Nichelle slept with Gene for awhile so her opinion counts. She said she always saw U&S as compatible. They make sense. Nimoy loves it. I think fans have an angels vs whores complex over Spock's sexuality. They want him to remain unattainable to keep him pure for their own fantasies. Well, Spock's got jungle fever and I've been infected.
@Elfinesmom. In the original script of "Platos Step Children" Kirk was going to kiss Uhura, but the censors were afraid of hate letters. So, the writers changed it to Spock and Uhura. Shatner defended the original author by using his reputation as a Self centered actor to get the original script back. He said to the sensors "If anyone is going to kiss Uhura it's me!" He even deliberately messed up the almost kissing shots by crossing his eyes.
@Elfinesmom. It was never about Uhura and Spock. Nimoy loves checks Nude photography pays jack sh#$. Nichelle's opinion does not count. I would not trust that woman's word at all. The so called affair did not come out till Gene Rodenberry was dead. PS Majel Rodenberry states that Gene never told her of any such affair. But did tell her about all the other women he dated. I trust Mrs. Rodenberry over any person who is trying to make a quick buck. PS. Jungle Fever is a racist comment.
@BondFreek I don't care about Plato's Stepchildren. I know there was nothing between them in TOS. If you're going to call Nichelle a liar then there's nothing more for me to say. Now Nimoy's opinion doesn't matter because you're calling him money-hungry? I'm not buying any of your arguments. We haven't got Gene. Sad fact. Nichelle and Leonard are the closest thing we have to TOS approval and they're into it.
@Elfinesmom.Nichelle and Leonard are the closest thing we have to TOS approval WRONG. There is still Eugene Rodenberry JR., Rick Berman, Harve Benet & DC Fontana. He entrusted his legacy to them. They are the only ones who would know what he wanted. If you insist on including actors; there is still William Shatner, Walter Koenig, George Takei & (the only trekker to be cast by Roddenberry) Jonathon Frakes. They dont like the new movie. You can see it on their faces when people ask them.
@BondFreek I'm not pulling the race card on you like all the other U/S shippers do when someone doesn't like the pairing (although I suspect) so don't pull that crap on me. That's classic American slang that even Stevie Wonder incorporated into lyrics. It's a celebration!
@Elfinesmom. That "classic American slang" was started by racist ass holes. It was used to indicate that black people could not control their sexual drive anymore then an animal. I remember because I grew up in the 70s. Stevie Wonder wrote his song in attempt to change the meaning. It worked for some but not most. Even Steve Wonder got in trouble for his song. Stevie Wonder was not the first to try to change the meaning of racial slurs nor was he the last. It still does not work.
@BondFreek Heh. Actually it's about white people who can't control it. Get over it. You're not turning this into a race thing to a black girl who's supporting a mixed couple. Nice try.
@Elfinesmom. I'm not trying to start a racial fight. I'm just telling you it's a racial slur from the 70's. I'm 41 your 21; Two different generations. I was offended because I know the history of that phrase. It means that Blacks can't control their sex drive and if a white person kisses a black that white will become like an animal. It's hate speech. where do you think the phase Once you had black you never go back came from? Its all fear mongering. You don't see it and that's good.
@Elfinesmom. If I had not lived through it I might not have seen the real meaning my self. My point is back in the 70s it was like the N word today. Only Blacks could get away with saying it. I personally want all expressions indicating that one race is superior to another removed from all speech habits. Notice I said "habits" not make illegal. Making something illegal only encourages people to do it. Plus that would be unconstitutional.
@BondFreek We went from a conversation about the canonical value of the Star Trek movie to you telling me, a black woman, that I'm being racially insensitive for using the term jungle fever. You're calling Nichelle Nichols a pathological liar and saying that Leonard Nimoy was only involved in the new movie because he needed money. . . A rational conversation with you is no longer possible.
@Elfinesmom. I take offence at any racial slur; I don't care what race it comes from. Notice I don't mention my race. Thats because race is not important, but words do. I never wanted a race debate with you, I only asked you not to use that racial slur. Anyone else would have just apologized and moved on, but you indicated that you did not understand why I was offended. Thats why I explained it to you. You have every right to use it but remember others find it offensive.
@BondFreek I respect you as my elder but in NO generation is "jungle fever" worse than the N word. This conversation has degraded so much there's nothing left to discuss. I can't take part in this anymore. My apologies to anyone who's just trying to have some fun watching this episode and is getting bogged down by a race debate. Spock has been attracted to more than blondes and the solid new movie has depicted him with a black girl- HE'S NOT COMING BACK.
@Elfinesmom. Name one episode where Spock is kissing some one who is not blond. Kirk Kisses green women, Blonds, brunets, Indians and Uhura. Chekov kisses Blonds and Klingons. Sulu drools over brunets and Uhura. Scotty goes after blonds and brunets. Spock only blonds; Like father like son.
PS Star Trek is dead! Paramount killed it, the same way the killed Mission Imposable.
@Elfinesmom. I never said it was worse then the "N" word. Why can't you young people read? When I was your age knowing what you were reading was more important then spelling. It kept miss communication down to practically zero. Which intern kept violence down to just a shout or two.
@BondFreek "back in the 70s it was like the N word today." Semantics, Dear. I'm afraid kissing isn't the only indication of attraction. As spores and other weird interference of emotional control don't seem to matter to you I'll include all I can think of: T'Pring, the Romulan Commander in "The Enterprise Incident", that chick with the feathers in "Shore Leave", Zarabeth had brown hair, and I think he's jonesing for the jealous chick in this episode in his own controlled Vulcan way.
When I saw 'Star Trek voyager episode: "Threshold" I, thought about this one and wondered why, when Paris rerached warp 10 and could see everything he saw the Madusans he didn't come back crazy.
Most fans agree that that episode is not cannon because of later episodes, like the dinosaurs traveling faster then Trans-warp one and Borg Trans-warp path ways. Even the producers hated Threshold.
I can't stand fans that trash the third season of TOS, but never criticize a single second of TNG. This episode, "Requiem for Methuselah, " The Tholian Web," and "Spectre of the Gun" are all pretty good. Of course, "Spock's Brain," and "Plato's Stepchildren" are awful!
it was unnecessary for us, because it certainly wasnt or our benefit that you wrote that. Any way I completely agree with you. But thats the original. TNG the women have more american looks
DR. Miranda reminds me of Paulina Poriskova. I luv the way she and many star trek woman pronounce their "s"'s. I notice many of the "pretty" star trek woman have that high check bone, east European look.
On an unrelated note, my ass has just barfed out a chain of turds like a runaway train. It spat out like a faucet full of air and water, bust-burbling out, leaving a spray pattern on the toilet. I think I saw the holy Mary in there!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh trust me. it was necessary. As necessary as the toilet paper & the wet dabbing that was necessary to clean up the mess.
Nothing worse than just getting outta bed after a heavy dinner, sitting up, & thinking you are going to fart when you feet a wet-plosion in the seat of your pants. U end up doing this panic-spiral to put your ass up in the air & end up hopping backwards with the "leaky" leg up in the air, praying to make it to the bathroom. U skip the toilet & go straight to the shower
She goes in room, screams, comes back out completely normal saying "It seems I have no choice but to obey you." and then it does a close-up of Kirk's face that seems to be more detailed and super-serious than normal. Not to mention the weird camera angles in this entire episode.
Did the usual producers of the show get the flu or something when this was made? lol
Well, spork811, here's a small list of things Humans can do and Vulcans cannot...
We can laugh, lie, (which can be good, see Kirk bluffing) and have sex more than once every seven years. We also have The ability to control emotion, as opposed to simply blocking it out.
Vulcans can do all of those things. And any Vulcan who tells you that they are incapable of lying is lying. It's the best kept secret. Even to this point, Vulcans are not incapable of emotion. They actually train for many years to control their emotions. They feel them, they just have near perfect control them at almost all times...
Just because of how often I've seen that COlgate commercial, I'll never buy it again.. nor will I watch Brooke Sheilds on TV...She needs to GO TO her GO TO people and get somthing ELSE besides NET commercials... they're gettin' old fast...
Now that ending was just WRONG.... how was it that spoke needed a VISOR to watch the Embassador trasnsport but Kirk, whom was standing in the same room while the Ambassador transported did not WEAR OR NEED A VISOR? If You're going top be congruent witha story line they should have follpowed through to the end..
Best episode of the series. The scene in which Kirk convinces Miranda to save Spock in spite of her jealousy is a brilliant. Comparisons with Shakespeare would not be out of place.
Same with the Brandy at the end of the dinner scene. Kirk pours himself a full glass, takes a sip, say's goodnight to McCoy and chugs the rest then all of a sudden next shot it's half full again.
We caught a good view of the transporter control panel in this episode. Instead of a computer display on there, they seem to have an old-style analog radar screen instead! Same thing at the front of the Bridge. They were pretty good at predicting other aspects of technology though.
The reason why Spock puts on the visor at the end was probably not to shield his eyes from any danger, but to see Dr. Jones' beauty for the last time as he saw her for the first time.
Whoa! Look at 37:55. Major editing gaff! Spock/Kollos at the helm. When we see the viewing screen of the barrier, it's still Sulu at the helm. I don't know how many times I've seen this episode, but I just discovered it.
I love catching all the continuity goofs. At 12:54 Kirk pours a last brandy. At 13:13 he take a sip. Still full. Then after some small talk with Bones at 13:43 he chugs the last sip. Then at 13:48 it's a quarter full again. I know. I know. I've seen these way too many times. But it's either that or start paying attention to the news again and I sure as fuck ain't about to make that mistake. Like The Beatles: Once a Trekkie, always a Trekkie...
download firefox and get the Add Blocker Plus addon. It removes all the adds from these episodes so you can just watch it from beginning to end without interruption.
Also, about the ending: Kirk doesn't have to wear the goggles because James T. Kirk is simply too awesome to allow something being ugly to drive him insane. That and the toupe grants him super human powers. Common knowledge really :D
Backwards Kirk is a simple case of someone in editing flipping the negative. It happens. Like when you see a picture of Jimi Hendrix playing right-handed.
Wow this ep is so trippy.

I can't stand fans that trash the third season of TOS, but never criticize a single second of TNG. This episode, "Requiem for Methuselah, " The Tholian Web," and "Spectre of the Gun" are all pretty good. Of course, "Spock's Brain," and "Plato's Stepchildren" are awful!

DR. Miranda reminds me of Paulina Poriskova. I luv the way she and many star trek woman pronounce their "s"'s. I notice many of the "pretty" star trek woman have that high check bone, east European look.
On an unrelated note, my ass has just barfed out a chain of turds like a runaway train. It spat out like a faucet full of air and water, bust-burbling out, leaving a spray pattern on the toilet. I think I saw the holy Mary in there!

Oh trust me. it was necessary. As necessary as the toilet paper & the wet dabbing that was necessary to clean up the mess.
Nothing worse than just getting outta bed after a heavy dinner, sitting up, & thinking you are going to fart when you feet a wet-plosion in the seat of your pants. U end up doing this panic-spiral to put your ass up in the air & end up hopping backwards with the "leaky" leg up in the air, praying to make it to the bathroom. U skip the toilet & go straight to the shower

She goes in room, screams, comes back out completely normal saying "It seems I have no choice but to obey you." and then it does a close-up of Kirk's face that seems to be more detailed and super-serious than normal. Not to mention the weird camera angles in this entire episode.
Did the usual producers of the show get the flu or something when this was made? lol

Well, spork811, here's a small list of things Humans can do and Vulcans cannot...
We can laugh, lie, (which can be good, see Kirk bluffing) and have sex more than once every seven years. We also have The ability to control emotion, as opposed to simply blocking it out.
scomiche 2 years ago
They CAN, they just choose not to. It's a cultural thing.
It just seems that Spock is immune to things that effect the rest of the crew frequently. There's very little that works the other way.

@scomiche Vulcans CAN lie
jonywangwang18 2 years ago 2
Vulcans can do all of those things. And any Vulcan who tells you that they are incapable of lying is lying. It's the best kept secret. Even to this point, Vulcans are not incapable of emotion. They actually train for many years to control their emotions. They feel them, they just have near perfect control them at almost all times...

Now that ending was just WRONG.... how was it that spoke needed a VISOR to watch the Embassador trasnsport but Kirk, whom was standing in the same room while the Ambassador transported did not WEAR OR NEED A VISOR? If You're going top be congruent witha story line they should have follpowed through to the end..

Same with the Brandy at the end of the dinner scene. Kirk pours himself a full glass, takes a sip, say's goodnight to McCoy and chugs the rest then all of a sudden next shot it's half full again.

We caught a good view of the transporter control panel in this episode. Instead of a computer display on there, they seem to have an old-style analog radar screen instead! Same thing at the front of the Bridge. They were pretty good at predicting other aspects of technology though.

The reason why Spock puts on the visor at the end was probably not to shield his eyes from any danger, but to see Dr. Jones' beauty for the last time as he saw her for the first time.

I love catching all the continuity goofs. At 12:54 Kirk pours a last brandy. At 13:13 he take a sip. Still full. Then after some small talk with Bones at 13:43 he chugs the last sip. Then at 13:48 it's a quarter full again. I know. I know. I've seen these way too many times. But it's either that or start paying attention to the news again and I sure as fuck ain't about to make that mistake. Like The Beatles: Once a Trekkie, always a Trekkie...

download firefox and get the Add Blocker Plus addon. It removes all the adds from these episodes so you can just watch it from beginning to end without interruption.
Also, about the ending: Kirk doesn't have to wear the goggles because James T. Kirk is simply too awesome to allow something being ugly to drive him insane. That and the toupe grants him super human powers. Common knowledge really :D
