  • this episode had so many great moments, not the least of was spock finding gambling exhilarating

  • 16:40 This ain't no radio. It's motherfuckin' starfleet technology, biyatch!

  • Anyone else notice the big fat flat screen TV's in this episode? We don't even pay them any mind because they're common place these days. It probably blew the minds of everyone in the 60's.

  • "Well send him down naked if you have to!"

    Damn, we came SO CLOSE to having Kirk, Spock and McCoy shirtless.

  • The charactor who says " Death to Zayans" is played by Skip Homeier, who also played the charactor of 'Dr. Sevrin' in the episode " The Way To Eden" in the 3rd season. Robert Lansing was the actor who played the charactor of 'Gary Seven' in the episode "Assignment: Earth" in the 2nd season of the series.

  • Kirk AND Spock shirtless?!?!? *faints*

  • The Guy who says Death to Zayans.. is Dr Seven as well.. in Season 3 !!..

  • Why do Vulcan men have nipples?

  • My my my. Talk about the full range of acting skills. He went from a super psycho hippie, to a super psycho Nazi . . . . . wait a second . . .

  • Kirk: "This is Doctor Macoy our chief medical Officer, Daress, secretary to the national socialist party."

    Macoy: "How do you do." Looks around, "What in blazes is this!!"

  • 25:43 Ah . . . Spock? It's got . . . they're just . . . well, they're just blanks. Blanks, Spock. Hmm . . . Most illogical. [Power of suggestion: Vulcan succumbs. Film at 11:00.]

  • McCoy in his uniform....pure awesome.

  • Shirtless Spock :D

  • Spock to Kirk:

    "You should make a very convincing Nazi."

  • Sophie Scholl and others of the White Rose were arrested by the Nazi's the same day Goebbels made the "Totaler Krieg" speech. They were tried in Freislers "peoples court" the next day. At 5 p.m. they went to the guillotine. Their graves are marked next to the prison in Munich.  The movie "Sophie Scholl The Final Days" is posted on YouTube.

  • The look on that guy's face when he gets shot is priceless ;)

  • Zeon = Zion? I get it.

  • @3link1 But they don't look Druish!

  • @klutterkicker hmm a Spaceballs reference in a star trek/Nazi video...I guess I can see how it connects?....kinda...

  • Kirk: ... Spock.. you ever realize how so much stuff from 20th century earth happens around us?

  • I!!!!

    ...dont care ifyouhitthe broad-side-ofabarn just do it

    lol cpt. Kirk

  • "You will make a convincing Nazi". Too funny! Aren't fascists just the cutest thing? Wouldn't it be fun for the USA to become fascist? I live in Arizona, and we are fast on our way there. Heil the Fuhrer, Jan Brewer! Where are you papers?! Don't you just love that the tech guys remembered to make Spock's whip wounds bleed green? "Who are you people? Where do you come from?" "Uh. Earth!" Did you notice the Mercedes?

  • @arklat So when you get pulled over by a police officer, or say you are in a disturbance, or perhaps you wish to report your anal beads have been stolen from your home....you ARE away you will be required to identify yourself right? The law simply states that the police in the normal performance of their duties must investigate those who they suspect of ILLEGAL Alien status. There is no order to profile or harass. This is the reason that a large majority of the Country think you are a douche,.

  • @pieceomeat speaking of douches..You obviously have a very narrow idea and understanding of what Nazi Germany was. arklat was making a comparison between us and the Nazis by pointing out that both of us share the same xenophobic fears and a tendency to use minorities as scape goats from the real issues. And the fact that Nazi Germany used our model for the Indian reservations as the model for their concentration camps just adds to your ignorance on this matter.

  • @CaeserAexix

    Not to disagree with everything you have said, but I do detect 1 error.

    You say: "One can hardly say a nation has any rights when that nation is guilty of genocide and xenophobia"

    and I understand your sentiment. However, if this were universally accepted, no nation would ever have any right at all.

    In short, I agree that injustices are wrong, but, the people of today are not the same people who committed those genocides, etc.

    We must move forward instead of dwelling on the past.

  • @PanKrato You are very logical PanKrato, In all practical purposes nations' have all the rights necessary to govern as they see fit...But as for not dwelling on the past, I would like to point out the "point" of history (aka dwelling on the past). To understand the past in order to make a better future. A trial and error that never ends.

    I would like to state that nationalism is something we tried and has turned out to be "error," and a step towards one global government would be intriguing.

  • @arklat The simple truth is any modern nation should and has the right to control its borders. You may dream of a borderless World. That's fine. But there isn't one. That's just in your head,. Our Federal Govt has CLEARLY demonstrated it has NO DESIRE to enforce the law. ("We are a Nation of laws") This is pretty to clear to most Americans across the political, financial, racial demographics. I am sure you are a nice person...but you are clueless here and your Nazi comparison is sick. Clearly

  • @pieceomeat I find it interesting that you are so willing to justify and defend an obvious injustice. Some laws are meant to be broken (especially the proposed or already existing immigration laws in the US, if that is what you are referring to) One can hardly say a nation has any rights when that nation is guilty of genocide and xenophobia. (referring to the slaughter of the Native Americans) The problems we are having here all stem from European colonialism..so fuck off you nationalist cunt..

  • @pieceomeat All in all I would say you are clearly the clueless one in this conversation, because you took arklat's post far to literally. "Like" and "Is/are" are two different abstract concepts. Like infers that the compared subjects are similar NOT EXACTLY THE SAME!. So by saying America is LIKE Nazi Germany arklat has made a vague yet accurate statement. Not only do you emanate the historical understanding of a high school student but your understanding of English is elementary.

  • @arklat you have a rudimentary understanding of the Nazis and what occurred in Nazi Germany. The comparison is just rediculous. Let me know when we start rounding up Gypsies, Jews, the Educated, Catholics Jew and other peoples for extermination. If I had been in a Nazi camp....I would spit on your comparison.

  • there are no words for the spock i see *drools*

  • LoL How many of you said, "Oh Crap" when the one NAZI ordered Spock to remove his helmet? xD

  • @MsTwinkle101 a lot

  • someone please tell me that I'm not the only one who thinks McCoy is strangely sexy in nazi uniform, cause I think it's the 2nd bast part of the episode, right after the deliciously Spirky goodness of Kirk and Spock both shirtless and handcuffed!

  • i love 33:08mccoy is just strugling to get the boot on. XD how hard is it?

  • Spock almost seems sarcastic in this episode. 

  • Lol @ Nazi Spock!

  • I swear Kirk just brings Spock to the planets that resemble Earth just so he can be made fun of his ears. That's his only time he can really get back at him. :P

  • Ohh! I'm excited now =D

  • I remember it when it showed 

  • I remember how my dad told me about this episode, but he didn't give me the name of it because he probably doesn't remember.

    Man, the minute I saw 5:13 I gasped and went, "nooo," in shock.

  • Alone with Gill, Kirk should have markered on a Hitler moustache for fun while he was out.

  • OMG nazi spock

  • How is it that they speak english on evry planet?

  • @sqa6368 I believe that is what we call a "plot device".

  • Zeons=Zionists(Superior)

    Ecos=Goyim(Cattle/Useless Eaters)

  • @sqa6368

    How is it that they speak english on every alien planet?

  • I suppose there's a planet right next to Ekos that practices the patterns of Fascist Italy.

  • The one time they have an assured escape plan and could have been beamed back to the ship, they fuck it up and take out their transponders. Brilliant.

  • spock is so sexy ^.^ **blush**

  • One of my personal favorite episodes.

    It tells a great story, has a great moral, and the people that made it had the BALLS to do it the way that it was done.

    Hardly anyone had the moxie to do anything like this back then and they basically aren't able to really do anything like this today.

  • @Watcher3223 you're so right! TV today sucks because they are afraid to deal with issues like TOS did in the 60s.

    Look at tv today, it is horrid.

  • @crazycoolone

    Tell me about it.

    For modern programming, I've found myself watching the Discovery, History and Science channels. On occasion, AMC and Fox Movie Channel may have something of interest.

    The rest is a big bunch of BLAH, so I've hardly been watching anything on broadcast TV save for what's on the aforementioned channels.

    And, thank goodness for video cassette and video disc. Buy entire TV series you want and never have to tune in ever again!

  • Great new book (Did these stories really happen?) has Shatner dedication! Book at amazon!

  • I DON'T CARE!!!!...if you hit a broad side...of a barn Spock just aim carefully!

  • @Ghostboy177 Captain? Why should I aim at such a structure?

  • @Tinbuster00 Spock....its an order...WE...DON't...HAVE... the TIME for....exPLANATIOn.. at theeee MOment!

  • The group of men at 34:35 look like a group of morons.

  • Comment removed

  • The group of men at 34:35 look like a group of morons.

  • God I wish this show lasted...... Think of all the crap shows on TV that lasted five years, and this one only got three!

    =[

  • is this the natzi episode?

  • @startrekgirl258. No this is the clown episode were they take over a planet using balloon animals. LOL.

    Here's your sign.

  • The 'Zaons' vs Palestine hmm interesting!

  • The 'Zaons' vs. Palestine... interesting!

  • 11:21, Spock rolls his eyes in a, "well duh" sort of way.

  • Stupid thing keeps stopping and loading. Darn. it.

  • For those of you who hate the commercials as much as I do, simply play them all through muted before watching, and you can watch the whole thing commercial free. =)

  • I don't see any advertisements.. guess I must have done something with Firefox's AdBlock a long time ago @_@ Either that or something is going wrong on their end.

  • I swear they mess up on the collar insignias *historian nitpick*

  • looove at 11:34 when spock flinches when kirk cries out in pain :) they love each other so much!

  • @DresdensDoll234

    OMG I NEVER noticed that until now =D thanks for pointing that out (:

  • I think I've figured out how the two planets were named:

    Zeon = Zion (i.e. Israel, Jewish, etc.)

    Ecos = Echo (i.e. Repeat of Nazi Germany)

    Does this make sense to anyone else???

  • @wardenphil I get it now that you point it out! So cool!

  • Why does the episode skip to 21?

  • Holy Shit the nazi women sneaking in the good guys as a camera crew to see the fuhrer!?!?! Inglorious Basterds stole part of their movie from this episode.

  • @fads90 Kirk even pronounces it "Natzi" like Brad Pitt did in the movie.

  • @TheIrishCowgirl

    I think that may be due to Mr. Shatner's upbringing as Canadian; he may have inherited specific dialect.

    That's also the reason why he sounds kind of weird when he says "sabotage."

    Nah-zee

    Sah-ba-tash

  • @Watcher3223 Oh, I'm not mocking Shatner's pronunciation. I live in Tennessee, and I know plenty of people who pronounce the word Nazi "Nat-zee." fads90 was mentioning that part of this episode seemed to inspire the movie house sequence in Inglorious Basterds, and I was simply noting that Shatner pronounces Nazi the same way Brad Pitt did in the movie (his character was, incidentally, from Tennessee).

  • @TheIrishCowgirl

    "Oh, I'm not mocking Shatner's pronunciation."

    I was not presuming that you did. Apologies for not being more clear.

  • @Watcher3223 No prob, new friend. I do have to ask, though:

    "Who watches the watchers?"

    :)

  • @TheIrishCowgirl

    More watchers, that's who. Heh heh.

  • @fads90 LOL! Who ever said that Tarantino was 'original'? I'm sure he was probably a Trekkie too. Every nerdy comic book fan his age watched TOS.

  • HOLY CRAP ITZ NATZI SPOK!!!

  • 16:37 lol...

    Spock is totally flipping us off! :O

  • i saw that its tru

  • I love how Kirks all whining about being beat and Spock doesn't even flich...

    What a sexy beast :)

  • A nuclear warhead is generations ahead of where a people with crude interplanetary capability should be technically? If you want to consider the Apollo missions as crude interplanetary capability--and it would be crude, all right--the two developed more or less at the same time. If you're going to set the bar for interplanetary capability higher--we've had the missiles since, well, since before TOS was on, but if we got serious about going to Mars we'd be lucky to get there before 2030.

  • I made a similar comment to IMBD. The first theromonuclear device was IVY MIKE, detonated on 1 NOV 1952. In 2010, Earth still lacks a manned interplanetary capability.

  • I'm not sure whether "treatment of history as causes and motivations rather than dates and events" was so remarkable in the 60s, but how I hope that by the 23rd century it's not considered revolutionary!

  • okay- is it just me, or would the bed RIGHT NEXT TO THEM have worked as a better platform than Captain Kirk? (Pragmatically if not aesthetically, Mr. Spock. xD)

  • Beds? Logical? Oh, you're silly! that's like saying Joe Biden and Stephen Harper discussed politics the other day! AHAHAH!

  • The bed was too far away from the light.

  • 17:08 I'm surprised that Kirk didn't just pass out :)

  • Comment removed

  • Who was Li Kwon? Was that a real person or did they just make it up?

  • made up

  • Spock takes off his shirt ... and there's a sweater underneath!

  • Hmmm, a scene of Kirk and Spock half-naked getting whipped by Nazis? I bet there was NEVER any gay fan fiction about that...

  • there big fuckin nazis arent they???

  • Maybe just a bit too cheeky and light-hearted for the theme of Nazis and genocide?

  • @celebratecows Not at all, if they approached it any harder, no one would watch it. Viewers become "uncomfortable" when they think something is being ground into them as a serious situation. By this time they didn't know they were going to get canceled in the third season( naturally) and were just trying to keep the show going.

  • Spock: "You should make quite a convincing Nazi" xD

    Kirk: >:C prick

  • o___o Shirtless Spock looks very awkward

  • I love Spock in skull caps! :)

  • YES! Kirk's captain "bitch" slap is the cure to any coma!

  • I am so sick of the colgate total commercials. Brooke Shields isn't even that good looking!

  • @kachinababe I haven't been able to look at Brooke Shields the same way since she was on Nip/Tuck and had Christian's name tattooed on her ass.

  • sad but true :(

  • 16:26 Spock has guns! d00d!

    *_*

    <3

  • Yes.... Is it just me or he like morphed when the shirt came off... "*sigh*

  • It's kinda weird, not to long ago, people were wowed by the stuff they saw in StarTrek. Stuff we don't even notice anymore because it's commonplace.

    Flat Screen monitors = Flat Screen TV, Communicators = Cell Phones, Food replicators . . . .freakin' microwaves man! LOL. I think the only thing we really notice now is how HUGE the computers are. Takes a whole room full of circuitry on this show to do the same job as a blackberry.

  • @Demithegoddess

    And memory tapes! lol.

  • "An excellent plan, with only 2 minor flaws..."

  • Shirtless and handcuffed Spock...Please escort the prisoner to my bedroom ^_^

  • The passageway scene starting at 19:00 has some problems. The "prisoners" should be handcuffed - Kirk could have put them on in mock fashion to make their appearance more credible. Look also at the way he points his weapon at the guard at 19:37 (and away from the "prisoners").

  • A "Subcutaneous Transponder" would have come in handy in all the previous episodes where they didn't have their communicators and needed beaming up.

    n00bs, lol

  • wat "top stylist" is watching star trek on youtube.... these companies rrly need to learn who their audience is...

  • Well, those who get really into Star Trek will need gels of salon quality to coif their hair just like Spock's.

  • oh yes then i get into my Cadillac and use my chase card on a dress instead of going on vacation with my husband.

  • nice how the ads play just fine and the episode stalls...nice going YouTube!

  • Poor Spock. He seems to be everyones bitch in this episode, and a couple of the others. Sheesh.

  • I think they used footage of Hitler Around six minutes in.

  • I love Spock's face when the guy tells him to take off his helmet lol, probably the only time he ever regretted getting his father's ears.

  • @Dogcrazii If Spock ever encounters Mike Tyson's great(X10) grandson, that will be a second time. LOL

  • ZOMG. Spock shirtless. Hellz yeah! =P

  • =A=

    Kirk says Nattzi

    intead of Nazi...Illogical.

  • It's kind of sad that I was utterly confused by the fact that the hot girl in this episode never made out with Kirk.

  • Spock's hat looks familiar. I think he wore it in one of the other episodes.... I found one just like it Wall Mart for $6.00....

  • @dianaberry9393

    Yea, he wears it on the Season 1 episode: "The City on the Edge of Forever", the one where Kirk and Spock go back to New York in the 1930s to find a drug-induced crazy McCoy :P, he uses the hat, like now, to hide his ears lol

  • I think it's funny that you intend the word "nerd" to be offensive. If you would kindly remember that those who invented the internet (and most other things you use every day), are nerds.

  • Holy Fuck man take a chill injection, you must have been on of those freaks in highschool who picked on the smaller people because your life sucked... damn, man...

  • It's Spock's hat from "The City on the Edge of Forever!" Spock with no shirt! -dies- Bones in uniform! :D I love military uniforms, even the Nazi ones.

    Spock was awesome in this episode with his line about excitement and thrill.

    This reminds me of 1984 with the telescreen and the shouting of victory and the figurehead.

  • wow. i didn't know it was even possible for spock's hair to get mussed O.o

  • Yes, smile and... *pinch*

  • whoever doesnt go into a coma or seizure upon seeing spock in this episode or in the episode 'a piece of the action' is blind XDDD

  • This is my favorite Star Trek episode precisely because we see Spock without his shirt! :-) I don't go into a coma or seizures, but I do find it exciting!

  • Or lesbian.

  • @svrldsmntlsfan1 i didnt go into a coma or seizure.......i DIED...

  • O bones you pull the Nazi uniform off well

  • Comment removed

  • might want to see a shrink

  • "What in blazes is this?!" LOL!

    I just love the scene when Dr Mccoy beams in and he's pissed and complaining about everything. I love this episode just for that scene.

  • This and The Immunity Syndrome are my favorite episodes.

  • i cant be the only one here who replayed that shirtless 'transponder laser' segment.. O3o

  • Today's episode was brought to you by the Vulcan Nerve pinch without which none of the events would be possible.

    I must admit I like this espisode, but probably for the wrong reasons . . .

    *eyes shirtess Spock

  • Ohhh, Lord. Spock shirtless with handcuffs. Ohhh, my. *goes into a coma*

  • Spock is extremely sexy, yet he doesn't even know it!

    He'd be standing there shirtless while I'm drooling and my heart racing....and he'd be telling me that my reactions are 'most illogical'

  • One of the BEST Episodes!

  • yes, kirk does make a convincing nazi

  • omfg Spock and gambling. Yes.

  • 27:55 Does that woman have the most beautiful eyes or what...

    Damn fine looking woman; I love her eyes

  • Spock... so sexy.. so very sexy...

  • Spock is so sexy!

  • I see the simularites. Zeon/Zion or jews

  • spock looks coolniss in that outfit :D

  • Spock in a Nazi uniform! CLASSIC!

  • Kirk: I don't care if you hit the broad side of a barn!

    Spock: Why would I aim at such a structure?"

    He is so brilliant yet so nieve at the same time.....

  • I love the Nazi camera they use! Hilarious!

  • This is one of my favorite episodes... next to Mirror, Mirror, the horribley hilarious episode " Plato's stepchildren" and the episode when spock falls in love because of the flower's pollen......

    I wish that Spock got more episodes about himself and his culture....

  • lol the way kirk says 'nazis' makes me laugh. he sounds like he's from jersey.

  • nancy germany!

  • McCoy is the funniest! What in blazes is this!

  • With everything going on in my life i couldnt survive without the help of my go to people.

  • AND I WANT MY SCALPS.

  • love it. kirk's hand cuffs were unlocked from at least the 15min mark.

  • this is my favorite episode

    ive gotta start watching this show again

  • this ep was kinda funny

  • 7:50 Hot!
