Court Martial

[missdexterity]

phaser: descendant of the hot glue gun?

[iGuerraphoto]

with luck he could fix the ship?? he pulled three wires out and it was done, wtf?

[jeffrags2]

I hope the singing fish burn Hillshire Farms down to the ground blinding the flames with science.

[Nikanaiko]

I love old, crazy bibliophiles. <3

[Enterprise1967fan]

WHY are ALL the commodores SUCH ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!! 

[ParadigmPenguin]

@Enterprise1967fan

Aww. What about Commodore Decker? D: He was pretty cool.

[Enterprise1967fan]

@ParadigmPenguin meh

[waveali]

@Enterprise1967fan Probably the same reason why all Sargent Majors are assholes. lol

[wardenphil]

@Enterprise1967fan  Part of the job description, even in the 20th Century.....

[Enterprise1967fan]

@wardenphil *sigh* hopefully the future wont suck >.>

[carch117]

Does anyone else think finny looks a bit like willem dafoe in spiderman?

[Tjalys]

One to the fourth power = one.  So basically the sound booster does nothing.

[MarcusTrinnias]

@Tjalys That is treknobabble at it's finest.

[Masturbov]

Even chicks that are trying to prosecute Kirk end up underneath him with their legs spread. What a universe!

[camp168]

That McCoy is a smooth operator!!!

[camp168]

You mean they still use paper and pens?!?!?....damn, the future still sucks!

[pavelthe2]

When they were detecting heartbeats, I half expected Finney to be under the floorboards like from that Edgar Allan Poe poem. Tell-Tale Heart I believe it was called.

[alex49carson]

@pavelthe2 ahh.. one of my favorite bedtime stories

[pavelthe2]

Come on. Everyone knows Kirk would never just murder a man. If he really wanted to have someone on his ship killed, he could have just dressed them in a red shirt and beamed them down to a random planet.

[violinmerchant]

lol trials don't work like this at all.

[len120453]

I won't buy the stuff in these commercials just because they piss me off!!!!

[3link1]

Now this was a good episode

[greendayfan234]

@ArwinUndomiel i remember in another episode they had a chair with a light on it in the enterprise and it was like a lie detector,

[DesiluTrek]

I love the 1966 idea of 23rd-century lounge music.

[mtntuber]

Kirk was awful handsy on that young girl. Once a dog always a dog.

[ghost2171]

Kirk - NO, I told you NOT to follow the Klingon's panel design.

[PrinceFX]

In The Menagerie, Part I Kirk stated that no ship's computer keeps a video log of the ship's deck. How come they have one now? :s

[AceOfHeart2012]

"And what happens when orbit begins to decay?" A fellow Starship Captain (Chandra) doesn't know? And Kirk's career is in HIS hands? Jeesh! I would have motioned to have Chandra removed for ineptness. JEESH!!!

[bucinaus]

They should change the name of that button that said "jettison" to "screw him". Or better yet do a close-up of Kirk's lips to read "I've always hated that a__hole, now's my chance!"

[annenna]

re Kirk's chair. I'm more disturbed that none of those buttons had some kind of flip top covering them. The bridge crew get tossed around a lot and Kirk could accidently bang that panel with his arm.

[OzzyCoop]

All they need are some Vulcan lawyers to probe Kirk's mind. No expensive lawyers or wasting of StarFleet's time.

[aeternamente13]

I thought Spock's heart was on his side, and yet Dr. McCoy still pointed that heart thingy at his chest. Oh, and Kirk definitely had an ex parte conversation with opposing counsel.

[Runawaybreaks]

hahaha!

Kirk Sits down and lets out a sigh " ..... She's a very good lawyer."

Spock: Obviously.

Mcoy: Indeed she is.

XD Made me giggle :D

[kittiekat10105]

Whose idea was it to put those buttons next to each other in the first place?!

[tsartodd]

i do't know what the canons of ethical behavior are for attorneys during the 23rd century, but in this century Lt. Shaw would've broken a number of them by communicating with Kirk the way that she did.

[MarkOates]

What 'cha wanna bet they found some officer to pose as Finny so Kirk could get off scott free.

[MarkOates]

"Let's see... We'll do a yellow alert, a red alert... and... let's just throw in a pod jettison button, too."

[waffleownage]

i hate the commercials, they cause the video to glitch

[dcbandnerd]

"Captain Kirk! Did you order the red alert?!"

"You want answers?"

"I want the truth!"

"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

[scully2222]

books in the 23th c ?! :O how archaic

[wills2222]

Dr. McCoy used this "whie sound" devise, that looks like a singers microphone.

[gamgee87]

Haha! In the future, girls will wear 60s school girl dresses...but they'll be SHINY!

[neveruse513]

these episodes no longer works reliably on adobe flash x64 for linux

:(

[SuDokuMaster]

When all else fails, play chess with a computer. It's very enlightening...

[insaned12]

so fucking gay this commercials are

[AmayaAnime]

I had to pause this when Finney's daughter first walked in because I was laughing so hard. I know, it's supposed to look "futuristic" and all, but honestly, she looks like a bad Sailor Moon cosplayer.

[kristov29]

Interesting how Kirk's graduating classmates in the bar all seem to wear a single Lt stripe while Kirk made Capt.. I noticed that when masking the heartbeats of the persons still on the ship Dr. McCoy placed the device directly over the center of Spock's chest, as though his heart was in the same location as a human rather than along his side where we have been told a Vulcan heart is located.

[sarahcaul]

KIRK: "She's a very good lawyer."

SPOCK: "Obviously."

Hahahaha

Such a typical Kirk / Spock dialogue. :-P

[jimmyboo121]

I'm getting pretty good at turning down the volume just before a commercial plays...

[HubertHoratio]

woah kirk pronounced "sabotage" roughly like a normal person

[miri1186]

"I do not dispute it. I merely state that it is wrong....if I let go of a hammer on a planet that has a positive gravity, I need not see it fall to know that it has in fact fallen..."

Tell her Mr. Spock! Oh, I love thee. =)

[KaraLVRogueLZ]

i love how it won"t play the whole episode thats fucking great full episode my ass.

[gamgee87]

@KaraLVRogueLZ I've had this problem as well. just refresh the screen.. You might have to watch a commercial again...but it should play to the end. (I've had to refresh multiple times before...)

[mordanai]

Sounds like it was designed by Microsoft.

[kittiekat10105]

Kirk should get decorated again for this.

[Dogsledfan]

Damn! Did I ever have a thing for Uhura...

[Sherlockrulez]

Wow...so Spock saves Jim's rep and career, and he doesn't even get a "Thank you, Spock." Way to go Kirk.

[MrlynMac]

I wonder how many illegitimate children and stds Kirk has.

[29708520]

probably millions

[EverlastingDaydreame]

Ok, I know its been said before, but I'm saying it again, the only one who needed to face a court marshall is the dummy who designed that control panel.....

"Do you think it would cause a complete breakdown in discipline if a lowly Leuitenant kissed a Starship Captain on the bridge of his ship?"

Yeah... because, like, they have never seen him kiss a pretty woman before. XD

[bigmandrel]

Yeah, I agree, that control panel, the one in court, was lame. My 60's Light-Bright looked more sophisticated.

[MrEGNigma]

They are never dead until Bones says ,,He's Dead Jim.

[slicingwater]

You mean the microphone, star trek may not be that far off in the future.

[TrekkersAreUs]

hey wait a minute...

Bones held up the micro--excuse me "white sound device"--to spocks heart where a human heart would be, but we already know that Spocks heart is in another part of his body

[BondFreek]

That's right, McCoy silenced Spock's liver. lol

Old joke from the 70s.

[tatisample1]

@TrekkersAreUs LOL Thats true!

[TrekkersAreUs]

lol i love how Bones automatically knows that any pretty girl who looks confused is associated with Jim Kirk

[MegaAwesomeFilms]

That Lawyer is good.

Too good, maybe?

[sporks811]

38:20--1 to the 4th power is, uh, 1, Jim.

[PadawanPictures]

@sporks811 Glad to know I'm not the only person who found that completely ridiculous.

[2007ASpaceOdyssey]

"This white sound device"

looks like my parents old karaoke microphone

[Fourstring04]

The Commodore is not the Admiral who tried to frame Kirk & co. in the later movies, that was Brock Peters. I heard that some of the southern affiliates tried to block this episode from airing as they didn't want any part of the main character answering to a black senior officer. Thankfully they weren't successful. The Commodore is wearing red since most of his career was spent in services or engineering, a choice you have once you reach flag rank.

[BondFreek]

@Fourstring04, "I heard that some of the southern affiliates tried to block this episode from airing". You will be glad to know that it was just a roomer. It never happened. Even the controversial kiss had the opposite affect of what the censers feared. Star Trek broke new ground in every aspect with out even a ripple of controversial discussion. It seems the racial audience just thought of it as Sci-Fi drivel.

[Pandadruid]

I think i detect a re-dub, on 34:34, "Elevated that machine" seems to be in a different tone and doesn't follow his lips like the rest of that sentence.

[kristalcarolyn]

Does anyone else think that, compared to other episodes, this one looks a bit... sped up? It looks a little different somehow...

[ChibiKiraTora]

For one, 19:20 - 19:30 Did she really look to check that, yes, it is Capt. Kirk?

For two, @Salger12, I want to lock that girl in a room with a Gorn! She is SOOO evil!

[kikioshia]

Kirk keeps ripping his shirts. >:C

[Valkes]

I bet it's his tailors doing, making sure he has a good source of work. . .

[amorach]

Why is it that every episode has death in it?

[thatbiologygirl]

@amorach To avoid overpopulation of redshirt. We have to maintain a good blue:yellow:red shirt ratio :p

[Opiatist]

From 34:19 - 34:50, Zach De la Rocha might have shed a tear or two.... :D

[melollylolly]

percy rodriuez in 21:46

[RichardMontalban]

I like how normally Spock is "Vulcan" whereas in this episode he is "Vulcanian."

[kristalcarolyn]

I think in "Mudd's Women" Spock is also referred to as "Vulcanian".

[Salger12]

Am I the only one who wanted to punch Finney's daughter this whole time? Her face is so fucking annoying.

[Bobanort]

They guy that plays Finney sounds like Dr. Sevren (the space hippie leader).

[Demithegoddess]

@Bobanort The space hippy leader is also in the episode "Patterns of Force", he's the head nazi.

[fawnknudsen]

Kirk is a total badass, the best MMA fighter of all-time.

[Salger12]

I think it's hilarious how he throws himself all over the place

[fawnknudsen]

@Salger12 If you mean "funny" because he's so awesome, I agree.

[Salger12]

Exactly

[me10496]

I say they should court martial whoever designed that panel, because that person should have known better than to put those buttons together. What a stupid design.

[Susana1027]

It's really yucky that we can't download any of the CBS videos!

[TearJerker2011]

That would be piracy it seems. They probably still want you to buy the DVD set or whatever. Or maybe their just afraid people will sell illegal copies. Pity, though. It would be nice to have these on my hard drive or portable devices just for personal viewing. I so love Star Trek... The level of writing is really excellent.

[thajr]

I've watched the episode a million times and enjoy it. Could someone explain the purpose of this `pod.' Lets see...we are heading in to this storm guys, why don't u crawl in side this 'pod' take some readings and run like heck at a moments notice. I mean,really. this ship is studded with sensors...do we really need a coffin attached to it that we can jettison during a storm? How about a read out on the bridge. Perhaps its was the same design team that came up with the life/death buttons!

[ghost2171]

You think that's bad, you should see the Klingon's play Checkers. :)

[PabloPena108]

The "logic" of chess here is completely wrong. Even now 3 decades after this was filmed the best computer chess software on earth (Probably Rybka) is far from playing perfect chess. In fact ocassionally a strong GM will beat it. And in computer tournaments they beat each other quite often. It's simply an unfathomable game. And 3 dimensional chess...

[blueskunk12]

@PabloPena108

I think you miss the forest for the trees.

COGLEY: And I repeat, I speak of rights. A machine has none. A man must.

My client has the right to face his accuser, and if you do not grant him that right, you have brought us down to the level of the machine.

Indeed, you have elevated that machine above us. I ask that my motion be granted, and more than that, gentlemen.

In the name of humanity, fading in the shadow of the machine, I demand it. I demand it!

[judiluvshercules999]

isn't that the same guy who played dr.daystrom in "the ultimate computer"?

[mikethegent]

NopeThe guy who played Daystrom was the actor who played Blacula in the blaxploitation flick(WILLIAM MARSHALL) Percy Rodrigues played Commodore Stone

[ghost2171]

Hmm, interesting panel design on Kirks captains chair. Lets put two buttons right next to each other. But don't accidentally push the wrong one first or you could kill someone.

[PabloPena108]

Did I just kill someone? Ooops I did it again, I hit the wrong button got lost in the game...

[PrinceFX]

@ghost2171 So I get it why the Captain's chair would have a yellow alert and a red alert button but I don't get why (considering how big the ship is) they would put an ion pod ejection button right next to these two :s

[ashenvale1]

One of my favorite episodes. The writing is superb.

[sean1usa]

CBS and your Advertisers, it's laughable if you think this idiotic scheme is working. The volume blast, missing episodes, stopped video so you have to start it all over...just a joke. Be real. Stop the bull.

[DBZskyhigh1]

Dont laugh at me: The other night i had the strangest dream, maybe one that other people may have had before. i was walking down my street when i was hit by a magnetic storm. when i awoke, i was in a medical bay at Starfleet Headquarters in the 24th century. I signed up for Starfleet and then my dream went ahead 4 years. i was Commander serving onboard the new USS Enterprise NCC-0701-F. we had been teleported via a strange Nebula to the newly discovered Omega Quadrant which is where i woke up...

[TheBellTolls4Me]

Cool story bro

[soumya181]

So the "considerable damage" was fixed by pulling out 3 wires :D

[WatDiBloodKlat]

This Star Trek was also very Gay. Kirk is a homosexual who likes to fuck men's asses.

[TiffKing]

at first I thought that it was interesting that they had serial numbers, but then I realized so do we: social security numbers, lol

[emiwright]

the daughter of the guy who died looks like she is wearing a Salior Moon suit

:P

[WatDiBloodKlat]

Yeah, somethng out of like The cartoon show The Getsons.

[GodzillaBoy3]

I swear if I hear that Brooke Sheilds Colgate Total ad one more time!

[mashvideo]

so be it?? mens shouldn't not depend to much on cumputers.

[danuisortiz]

"Mr Spock, elimiate his heartbeat"

click click beep...

*transporter man dies*

Anyone else wondered bout that?

[kamikazeedriver]

hahahah best comment!

damn hahahahahahah

[overthair]

Any compartment in the ship can be electromagnetically isolated from any other.

[MarkOates]

@danuisortiz HAHahahahaha!  Hilarious.

[titusand]

That dentist has the whitest teeth I ever came across

[overthair]

Did you notice her name? Dr. Fang.

[blaze9169]

Dr. McCoy is real smooth with the ladies. LOL

[1bichon1]

Why doesn't Brooke Shields do some condom commercials? I might not mind that.

[1bichon1]

Where's gorgeous Yeoman Rand! Captain Kirk and her make the best hot couple that there is. There should have been an episode about it. Not the one with the rape scene either

[goback3spaces]

It's unbelievable how Spock owns Lt. Shaw as she questions him on the witness stand. He makes speeches, he steers the course of the testimony ... no lawyer worth his salt would put up with it. Cogley, frankly, isn't much better. He has no clue as to what the truth might be until Spock points it out to him. It's Spock who saves Kirk's ass, and the two incompetent attorneys who go head to head are a mere footnote to the story.

[adventmrp]

45:24 - Love the ol' monkey wrench just sittin' there in the corner of the engineering room. I guess you CAN fix anything with that thing. It's the universal tool...literally. (LOL)

[overthair]

Good eye! I noticed it immediately. Comes from being a mechanic for 30 years. You don't think Scotty would be caught without one do you?...crescent wrench on a star ship, gotta love it!

[emiwright]

audio capability can be multiplied by 1 to the 4th power? 1 to the 4th power is 1 and 1 times anything is the same as what you multiplied 1 with. OMG Star Trek you will always have a special place in my heart!

*lol* :P

[themadhare1]

that one had us laughing since it first ran in the 60's

[earp1673]

See how back in the day men were men, and women were glad of it. 3:59

Their behavior is SO not... ...LIBERAL aka "effeminately enlightened"? No, it seems to be more militant; TOUGH even! **GASP** dare I say it...?? Even*gulp* ..CONSERVATIVE??? Say it isn't so!! How can it be?

Could it be possible to grow on an evolutionary scale not just in technology and science, but on a greater scale of understanding, with worldwide, even galactic unity while not embracing effeminate liberal philosophy??

[sveatch40]

From past episodes, I thought there were ways of locating anyone on the Enterprise without a heartbeat detector, so why was the devise necessary in this one? Also, I thought that Spock had no heart (from The Omega Glory). Oh well, it's still a great episode.

[barongorn]

His heart is in a different location from humans. I THINK its lower in the chest

[doveswife]

Actually, when they were checking heartbeats I caught the mistake as well. Spock has a heart, but it's on the lower right hand side. (Showing my geekiness, but oh well!)

[prufenful]

OH MY GOD NOT GUILTY DUN DUN DUN

[prufenful]

NO WAI

[prufenful]

COMPUTER IS WRONG!

[blueskunk12]

Looks like all their ships are being repaired in this episode.

[scaryblue]

Haaa Haaaa LMFAO the female ensine at 18:42 looks just like Sulu with a wig on. Oh man I split my appendix laughing so hard

[frankenshizzle]

wait is that girl the one from that one episode where theres only kids on the planet?

[cikaris]

No, it is not the same girl although there is a resemblance. The girl in "Miri" who resembles this girl was Kim Darby. Darby is most well known for her part in "True Grit" with John Wayne.

[cygnustsp]

kirk cant keep his hands off the daughter lol

[BTony21]

Around 5:30, McCoy lays the mac down on the lady.

[Ooshbala]

fuck youtube and their 90 fuckin decibel advertisements. shove that tube of colgate up your ass you overly commercialized fiend whore.

[prufenful]

don't put it up your ass it has flouride

[MegaAwesomeFilms]

Yeah! BAN FLUORIDE!

[B0bthebum]

hahahahaha so true!

[abasstrombonist]

They could have tried a bit harder with Kirk's stunt double... his shirt isn't even ripped in the wide shots.

[abasstrombonist]

"Mr. Spock, eliminate his heartbeat"

[abasstrombonist]

Clearly the captain's daily duties are to signal yellow alert, red alert and to jettison pods which is why there were such buttons under his right hand... reminds me of a Far Side comic where an air line passenger has a "wings stay on" and "wings fall off" switch at his seat.

[TroyDavidAlexander]

Capt. Kirk is the man. Plain and simple.

[doctorkazoo]

Hey I just started watching and that first scene of the Enterprise flying toward the blue planet is pretty impressive!

[wwwlogionorg]

The real criminal here is the engineer that designed the control panel. You would never put a control that could cause a person to die in a row of switches, in addition, there should have been a cover that would have to be opened first before the switch could be activated. But then they wouldn't have a story I guess. Another faux paux is that 1 to the 4th power is 1. I think they probably meant 1 x 10^4.

But these stories are fun to watch

[piscean60]

this is a good one- Elisha Cook's a hoot-

and this is a bit more complex than alot of the other scripts

Shatner's pretty good in this as well-

[cokefan3]

wait, what happend in the begging? how did that guy die?

[BondFreek]

Watch carefully. This is a thinker episode.

[cokefan3]

no, how did he die as in when the pod jettisoned, how would he have died if he was there.

[BondFreek]

Your asking the wrong question. The question is what kind of pod was it? If it is a life pod your right. But it is not. agian, Watch carefully.

[cokefan3]

does it show the pod? and y is there so many ppl clicking the thumbs down on our comments -.-

[BondFreek]

No the episode never shows the pod. We are getting thumbs down because you have little emagination and I'm an ultra Treker.

[cokefan3]

lol nice

[reaganitis]

I always like the looks McCoy gives Spock after an insult that Spock thanks him for. I laugh every time!

[and0the0drums]

mccoy is looking hot in his dress uniform

[StrTrekLuvr]

"She's a very good lawer."

"Obviously."

"Indeed she is."

Not awkward at all lol

[bosox381]

anyone else notice kirk and the lawyer change seats?

[Fronator]

Sigh. Normally Kirk restrains himself atleast partly out of sight before kissing people.

Commodore stone (I think) plays that guy who makes the computer that almost destroys 3 star fleet ships in "The Ultimate Computer," right? He plays someone who is convinced the computer is right then too.

The thing that blocks certain peoples heartbeats from the booster doesn't look any different than a microphone. You think they could have spiffed it up a little!

[joel1975]

They are different people:

Commodore Stone is portrayed by Percy Rodriguez; and William Marshall portrayed Dr. Richard Daystrom in 'The Ultimate Computer'...and would go on to play 'Blacula' and the King of Cartoons on Pee-Wee's Playhouse...

[Fronator]

Um...Jamie Finney's face is not good looking.

LOL, crazycoolone. Agree on the Spock comment. I think the writers should have written in Spocks character a more rigidness/laxness of logic to account for his time spent with humans.

[SHADOWfang5]

It's funny how, Kirk, with luck, makes repairs of the prime energy circuits by yanking out high voltage cables.

[chicknumero1]

god, aren't those minidresses short enough without the slit up the back???

[drowninginbishie]

But what if we forget to stare at her lovely womanly figure? It's just a friendly reminder.

[20tatertot07]

my god i know right!

[beautifulpassion]

prude.

Viagra... for all your star trek needs

seriously that commercial is so out of place
