  • not the most consistent episode, but a damn funny one. And some good quotes outa Bones and Spock

  • I'm a doctor, Jim. Not a bricklayer.

  • "He's a healer, let him heal." Fascinating, simply fascinating. His technology and training has nothing to do with silicone life forms, but he's going to heal him. Hmm.

  • Wow the chief looks like one of the BP guys. Hope th deyo somthing for the Horta when thy finish tunneling the F out of the whole planet. Maybe they will relocate the Horta to Sarasota or maybe Luoisiana. Hope the Government is on the case, sure wish the Horta has good luck trusting the BP guys.

  • Spock acting his ass off with his hands on a giant gummy bear

  • wow....i just watched, it wasnt that bad. Wow i actually like star trek! Im a nerd noooooooooooooooooooooo

  • @A7XXrocks77 lol Congratulations, I suppose... Afterall, the original series is awesome.

  • @AlleluiaElizabeth lol ty

  • I have to watch this shit for my university class.....

  • Goddamn people were sweaty back then

  • Thank God complete episodes are available on Youtube! Thank you so much CBS!

    I like how Spock is all about protecting the Horta at first, but as soon as Kirk is cornered with it, he's all, "Kill the damn thing!" Awwww...

  • he must have been wearing a red shirt beneath that orange at 8:37

  • A great episode! A top ten in my opinion.

  • 14:44

    Hmmmm. . . . . who's not going to live?

  • The Carlin Gold mines in Nevada extracts 5,172.41 tons of gold ore to produce a mere 50 pounds of gold at a profit. If the same effort is made with granite rock then an equivalent of 5,172.41 tons of granite can produce: 413 tons of aluminum, 258 tons of iron, 31tons of titanium, 4 of manganese, 1.8 tons of chromium, 1.03of nickel, .77 of vanadium,.51tons of copper, .25 tons of tungsten.10tons of lead,.06 tons of thorium, .027 tons of uranium. Unfortunately man's priorities seems illogical.

  • A planet that can meet the mineral and metal needs of 200 billion people is already here and it is called Earth. Professor Harrison Brown once said that 100 tons of ordinary igneous rock like granite can produce: 8 tons of aluminum., 5

    tons of iron, 1,200 pounds of titanium, 180 pounds of manganese.,70 pounds of chromium, 40 pounds of nickel, 30 pounds of vanadium. 20 pounds of copper, 10 pounds of tungsten, 4 pounds of lead., 2.64 pounds of thorium, .88 pounds of uranium.

  • @darthvader5300 By the time in history that TOS takes place most of the resources we have had been mined out.

  • Also, 32:50. Just ... 32:50.

  • I love this. At about 6:40 in, Kirk totally defends Spock. He's all like, "Bitch, don't insult my commander!"

  • 27:59 You DO care!! :D Aw, that's so cute!!!!

  • I was eating meatloaf when I watched this episode for the first time.

  • @CaeserAexix - I bet you weren't eating meatloaf when you watched it for the second time !! LOL

  • I was at a Star Trek con this weekend, and Shatner talked about filming this episode while on stage with Nimoy. During the filming of this episode, William Shatner's father died, and he filmed part of it right after learning about his death. He told on stage about how Nimoy was a physical presence and silent support to him that day. That Nimoy was simply his friend, and it meant the world to him. I wonder how much of that came through in the filming

  • its the slaher episod harharhar

  • I hope Hillshire Farms goes out of business.

  • @jeffrags2 YES. Freakin ads. If you have firefox, you can download adblocker plus and it will rid you of those pesky things.

  • @jeffrags2 Or if you have Safari, there is also adblocker on the apple extension site.

  • 15:43 - The redshirts obediently going to their deaths. Good soldiers, all.

  • ...jews in spaaaaaaaace !

  • SIgh...I think this show was cancelled because of the low production values. I realize this was the 60's, but they must have had better than this.

  • @3link1 Most people I talked to watched the show because of the story not the visuals. And if it did get canceled for that reason then our society is even dumber than i thought. But in all honesty it had way better production than any other sci fi tv show. and even better than some full length picture movies at the time. Star wars didn't come out till the 70s and that was considered to be top notch spec effects so this isn't so bad if you compare the two.

  • This reactor provides heat and air for the entire planet and can poison half of it just as easily.....thats why we put only ONE guard on it. Smart, very smart.

    Just Kidding. Star Trek Rules!

  • @CrazySchool09 its like sending your ships top commanding officers on the incredibly dangerous missions. its almost safer to be a grunt in this show...preferably a yellow shirt...Scotty seems to be the only red shirt who DOESN'T die.

  • concentrate your fazer fire at what appears to be it's head

  • @monnaeliza not to be a nerd but its phaser not fazer

  • It's Pizzadahutt!!!

  • @gothtigger92 exactly what i thought rofl

  • lol lava monster

  • I'm a doctor NOT a bricklayer!

    XD

  • I wonder if this was the inspiration for the magma-based life forms in Runescape?

  • poor Spock.

    Some of these episodes, I feel like he could really use a hug (though, of course, he would never admit to it).

  • looks like pizza!

  • damn, serving with Captain Kirk carries the death penalty

  • @jdskinny212 only if you're a red shirt. :-)

  • lol! the horta LIKES spock's EARS!!!!!!!!!!! XD

  • spock hides his insults behind logic and big words kirk and mccoy's insults are by telling him he is becoming more human.

  • I understand now why Red Shirts always die, It's because they're IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That one guy had just gotten his orders to kill the monster on sight and yet, when he was standing right in front of it, he just screams! although, It may just be bad writing because their's some of it right after when Spock says, "He didn't even have time to fire," and Kirk says, " we didn't hear any screaming." HE WAS STANDING THERE YELLING! sheesh.

  • I love spock <3

  • Spock made a funny!

  • "Jim! JIM!" Aww, Spock was really worried about him :)

    I like how the horta proves that basically all females, no matter what species, have a thing for Spock

  • @GodIsArEdsoXfan hear hear!

  • Spock: Captain she's a highly intelligent and sensitive creature.. With impeccable taste.

    Kirk: Because she approved of you.

    Spock: Really captain, my modesty.

    Spock= totally awesome!

  • ASBESTOS? NOOOOO, everyone's gonna get mesothelioma!

  • Oh no! It's a giant glob of lasagna!

  • Pizza the Hutt! Run!

  • are these the original or remastered ones?

  • at 5:22 the man has to open the door by pushing a switch on the table far away from the door. I'd hate to live in those times when you can't even open a door when your standing right in front of it. You have to walk over to the table.

  • Where did Spock get those odds from? 2,228.7 to 1?

    Isn't it more like... 100 choose 2 to 1? or 4950 to 1?

  • @kabooby0 Someone who knows statistics! There are 100 people in groups of 2. Chances of kirk and spock being in one group is 4950:1. Chances of the Horta approaching 1 group is 50C1. Probability of it being "Spirk" group is 50*4950, 247500:1. If groups are not random, chances of an encounter are 50:1. The only place Spock's # could have come from is the Horta's ability to kill a group. But, as a statistician once said, 20% of all statistics are made up... probably includes Spock's!

  • Poor Schmitter

  • "I suspect you're becoming more and more human every day."

    "I see no reason to stand ere and be insulted."

    OMG!!! LOL! That was awesome!

  • 19:33 The skin is breathing...that's gross

  • @SuDokuMaster Not at all; it's "fascinating." Lol, of course, it's strange how they just pick it up, considering its ability to secrete corrosive compounds...

  • @ChibiKiraTora For f2@k sake,people who are friends with their boss often call them by their first name. My mother calls her boss 'Jenna' and is very good friends,but that does not mean that they are having an affair. Several research assistants whom I knew called their professor Lin'iang [first name],but I highly doubt that two gay and two straight affairs were happening to the same person. Grow up.

  • @196508847BH I agree a close working invironment often results in first name-calling. It shows they share trust. They are valuable friends to one another and fear for each other's safety.

  • I wonder how the hell the Horta managed to carry out the unit with it's physical form

  • So what happened to seek out new life?? The creature is obviously intelligent if it's going after their power source yet the first reaction is to kill it?

  • The Horta looks like the gross "lasagna" served by my high school cafeteria.

  • @wardenphil Hahaha, you can ask for some "Horta" next time; or, ask your friends, "so, you going to have some of that Horta today?"

  • Ok, I love how if I want to skip to a spot by clicking a point in the time bar, the fuckin thing just plays a "foxy line" commercial and then starts over. I just want to watch the last 10 minutes and it won't let me. In all seriousness, watching these episodes is the most frustrating experience I've ever had with youtube.

  • Wow, the producers broke out the ol' sketch book for this one.

  • 7:25 ...and.......there goes another redshirt......jeez we relly need to stock up on these guys at the rate their being burned,eaten, shot, strangled, sttruck by lightning, killed by plants, falling off cliffs, getting stabbed, getting viruses, getting sucked into the endless void of space, disappearing.....you get the picture

  • 5:54 **insert fangirl squeal**

  • I actually like the idea that the show begins by showing the audience a little bit of what the danger of this episode is before the Enterprise discovers it.

  • Starting at 14:12, it is funny that Scotty needs no Radiation Protection when improvising a Reactor Primary Circulating Pump. The crew of K-19 would definitely roll their eyes at this one...

  • @hayitsscott. You need to finish watching it. The explinations are all in the second half. The second half gives the whole point of the episode and the moral of the story. After seeing it I'm convinced that you will love the episode.

  • a positive rating for content but a thumbs down for a :30sec ad at the beginning ... what a bunch of S*#t

  • Oh no!! It's the attack of the giant cheeseburger!! I LOVE Star Trek!!

  • "Captain, I see no reason to stand here and be insulted.."

    Oh Mr. Spock. How much do I love thee, let me the count the ways.. Fantastic episode.

  • In the future, men will defend themselves with laser weapons fired from the hip

  • Was this the episode with one of McCoy's most legendary lines: "Dammit Jim I'm a doctor not a brick layer!" ???

  • man, one of the best episodes ever. I've always like animals, so I guess that's why this one appealed to me. I just wish one thing THAT THEY WOULD'VE SHOWN A CLIP OF THE BABY HORTA. I don't care how ugly the horta's are, their babies would still be cute. :) A pretty funny episode too I might add. ah, if only all animals were as intelligent as the horta. We could negotiate so much. Well, only as long a we had a Spock, lol.

  • 14:55-14:57

    Sheesh Kirk. Don't you watch you're own show? You just told a legion of Red Shirts not to die.

  • Soooo many things I love about this episode and not enough room to talk about them all. ;)

    Lets just put it this way: Sar Trek is the best. show. ever! =)

  • i love this one. Spock mind-melding with a big pile of poop!!!lol

  • I forget which interview it was, but it was Shatner and Nimoy and on that interview, they were discussing this very episode. Apparently when Nimoy was yelling "PAIN!", Shatner in the background yelled "Get that man an asprin!" and that made everyone laugh, except for Nimoy.

  • I saw that! Yea Nimoy was Pissed for a long time

  • @Guderian41. That's right but it was Nimoy that was off camera. Shatner came back from a funaral and had to do his sceens.

  • 23:13 OMGBAMFWTFAWW! Spock is stuttering! That entire scene is way too adorable.

  • hahaha 25:15 everyone has a phaser except one guy ... who gets a stick

  • Earth already has an Earth version of Janus 6 containing virtually all the mineral needs of this planet. Siberia, in the Amur region. Alaska, in the Northern regions. Tibet, all of it's area is densely mineralized. All these areas are highly accessible and contains all the elements in the periodic table. The question is geopolitically in nature, who's allowed to mine it and at under what conditions and terms. Mining technologies are already advanced enough to prevent ecological damages totally.

  • what does kirk mean by "you guys will be rich"?

    have they forgotten that money isn't used in the Trek world?

  • And let's not forget the "Rich, lonely lithium miners" from Mudd's Women.

  • @imapuppylover

    You are partially correct. Both Kirk & Picard make reference in ST movies of the lack of pursuit of material wealth. Within the "utopian" socialistic community of the Federation, that may be true. However, these miners, along with the miners in Mudd's Women are outside the Federation and are good old capitalist

  • The Horta has got good taste...

    Seriously Spock's ears are sooo freakin sexy =)

  • Kirk: "Its possible our phasers may not affect it"

    Spock: Certaintly not phaser 1, which is far less powerful than phaser 2

    Oh Mr. Spock your logic never ceases to amaze me ;) <3

  • a random beam at 30:36 i love it lol

  • His face at 37:30 means a lot of pain!

  • XD All the ladies love Spock!

  • @RRainey20 Even those not humanoid!!

  • In the beginning, this one had all the setup of a Scooby Doo episode. Anybody else feel that way?

  • Kirk: "I suspect you are becoming more and more human all the time, Mr. Spock."

    Spock: "Captain, I see no reason to stand here and be insulted."

    LMAO

  • Haha I like how at the beginning Spock is undermining Kirk, saying Don't kill it! Save it for science! and then once Kirk is in danger he's all, It must die!! He's so obvious.

  • But starfleet rules demand that you protect the ship's captain. Especially if you are the captain's first mate! So that has precedence over the scientific need to preserve the creature.

  • Comment removed

  • Going through the comments is almost as entertaining as watching the episodes.

  • I love that when Spock gets worried about his captain, he calls him Jim. Can you feel the love?

  • @Demithegoddes

    I agree completely. Spock is the greatest, and even I would jump him given the chance.

  • Spock is so awesome. He makes Kirk the Captain he is. Without Spock, Kirk would be SO freakin' lost. Spock knows all and figures everything out! Go Spock!!!

    and I don't care how old Leonard Nimoy is, I'd still jump on that!!!

  • actually, Leonard Nimoy is 78 years old until March

  • HELL YES.

  • @Demithegoddess

    Hell yeah!

    He's still hot.

  • I love Star Trek , it's awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • 30:32 Homeboy w/ baby bat and purple onesie hah!

  • 28:42 IT LIIIVES!!! :D

    I love this show

  • Why do they always flippin' split up?!?!?! It NEVER works! Oh well, =P.

  • if you read the book i am spock he speaks often of this episode its when william shatters dad passed

  • @ 25:35 to 25:39 was I the only one chanting "KISS! KISS!!! KISS!!!" Aloud? XD THEY NEED TO JUST KISS ALREADY! D:

  • So this is what Pizza the Hut did before Spaceballs.

  • 1:44

    WHY exactly are they leaving somebody alone when there's clearly a dangerous monster nearby? I guess with a name like "Schmitter," nobody is going to care if you die.

  • @GoCrazy333: It's called - and this is not to start a race war since we're all Trek-kin here but - "Caucacinematitis." Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle types would articulate it as "Stupid White People" - a secretive investigational observation in black circles in context of film lore. Extraordinarily intelligent people constantly decrying their own wisdom by depicting their kind as obtuse. Ex: phasers "didn't even make a scratch." Yet? Keep posting single guards. With? Phasers. Huwuh? Hence? SWP

  • Spock doesn't like Italian food, but apparently Italian food likes Spock.

    (And by "Italian food," I mean the pizza monster.)

  • So the Pizza Carpet Monster can speak English and writes in all capital letters. Fascinating.

  • this proves that there are tunneling pizza monsters out there in the universe somewhere, which means the flying spaghetti monster exists also

    lol, just kidding...but think about it, though...

  • 27:49 Spock got so nervous when Kirk didn't reply immediately. That's so sweet...

  • I'm a doctor not a brick layer!

  • Immediately after Spock and Kirk take a shot at the creature, blasting off a chunk of it's body, they casually pick up a piece of the monster and calmly go about discussing it's incredibly dangerous, corrosive properties while holding the still pulsating chunk of monster flesh in their bare hands.

    God, I love the Star Trek series, but this kind of shit makes me wonder whether the continuity guys on the writing staff were dicking about in the wings, smoking dope and dosing on LSD.

  • @ArtemisBF1942 after its dead it may lose that corrosive ability =)

  • A room full or redshirts, this cannot end well.

  • @Trainian that's exactly what I thought

  • "...she really liked those ears?"

    YES OF COURSE, JIM!! They're sexy.

  • it looks like a pile of vomit

  • More like pizza either digested or on uncooked dough

  • "it wont die!!" as hes covered in its blood

  • That was concrete.

  • I hope by this time 2400 we get to this point in technology. But something tells me that's gonna take 800 years from now i totally believe though 400 years from now we will find and communicate with a alien civilization.

    P.S. These are all just some theory's

  • Heheh, it purrs like a kitten!

  • I love how Capt. Kirk just walks around like he's the cat's pajamas - hubba hubba!

  • This is a classic.

    Patterns of Force was my favorite though.

  • "Captain, we are being watched."

    "Are you sure? Intuition?"

    "No sir. We are being watched."

    Spock is officially a hopeless case.

  • lol at Bones' face regarding Spock at 40:52

    LOL @ 42:43

  • I love how Spock is all for life preservation despite the deaths the Horta caused, and yet, the minute Jim Kirk is standing in front of it, Spock is all, "Life preservation? Did I say that? My captain's life is in danger, ROAST THE BASTARD."

    Spock totally loves Jim. D'aww.

  • I'm a doctor, not a brick layer! Love Bones.

  • ofcoarse u never leave another person alone,epecially if they are a nevouse kind.

    although the creature doesnt appear 2 b very fast.lol

    i almost feel sorry 4 the creature

  • start and stop the reactor in intervals, duh.

  • it's a distorted meatball

  • of course that guy was gonna be the first one killed, he was nervous about it and they left him alone, it was only a matter of time, lol

  • "It's life Jim, but not as we know it. "

  • The monster looks like a moldy pizza or something....

  • Wow... Really? A MAUVE jumpsuit? I feel bad for that guy, no wonder he's so pissy.

  • It's a giant piece of fake vomit! pain! pain!

  • a runaway tampoon.

  • The guys in the beginning sound like they are from New York City!

  • I thought that thing looked like some kinda zerg from Starcraft.

  • run little red shirt, run...

  • lol

  • captain i see no reason to stand here and be insulted... oh ho ho ho spock!

    finally star trek on youtube... my life is now complete

  • small pleasures are nice!

  • Is it just me or is the background at 0:09 the same as the one during The Gamesters of Triskelion ep?

  • I agree

  • I must watch this again, as I remember the "monster" looking much like a big piece of lasagna. It would also explain the fact that it burned so many crewmen (hot lasagna is dangerous stuff, you know).

  • I'd like to thank Colgate for making me detest Brooke Shields. Otherwise, an excellent episode.

  • This is my favorite video so far in the series. It is very sweet and the dialogue between the Captain and Mr. Spock is hilarious!

  • Similar to the episode "Arena", with the Gorn. They were only protecting themselves.

    When we stop being scared enough try to talk with them, understand them, then we can work with them.

    Peace instead of war.

  • Schmitter was my Go To People. Now what am I gonna do?

  • This is awesome!!! On demand Star Trek!!

  • Who are you "Go To" People?

  • You know what might be interesting? The USS Enterprise encountering the Aliens; Queen bitch fighting Spock perhaps; ah but then again, Star Trek technology could make short work of the Aliens...

    ...but maybe if the Enterprise encountered a ship of Predators...??

  • 14:43

    *whispers*

    I see red people!
