The Cloud Minders

[utscuba]

That girl is TOO skinny. I know thin is ideal but not THAT thin. . . 

[webstonne]

Spock always had an eye for the ladies ...

[syngar99]

volume is really low.

[CoyoteBuddy]

So many cardboard sets, so many memories!

[WEAKKNEED]

Diana Ewing (portrayed Droxine, the privilged daughter in love with Spock) would be a top model now; her current doppelgänger is Marloes Horst. So classically beautiful, fragile and sexual.

[tribunalfunk]

A size 00 chick with boobs the size of a planetarium dome? Quite fascinating, indeed. Either they had some stellar plastic surgery back then, old girl Droxine stuffed her bra, or she was born next to a nuclear waste facility.

[syngar99]

@tribunalfunk better than the fatasses in the ghetto industry

[tribunalfunk]

@syngar99

Whatever dude.

[clintonearlwalker]

@tribunalfunk It's been a very long time since I've heard that reference, since i was in high school, when this episode of star trek was made.  It was quite common back then for girls to "stuff". I guess nowadays it's plastic surgery, back then it was toilet paper.

[assassin7999]

4:27, the trademark kirk dropkick. gotta love it

[196508847BH]

@HellsOnlyBelle: I think the difference is whether he is discussing it with his boss or discussing it with an attractive woman.

[arklat]

She is hitting on you hard, Mr. Spock. Go for it!! show Captain Kirk that you can get a cute girl too! and that troglodite gal cleans up nice! And, can't that little blondie have other outfits to wear? Maybe a cute little stripper thong? She's ready to experience Vulcan lovin'!

[Fritheby]

Where's Lando?

[nightflower6489]

a girl with taste - spock over kirk.

[blackeyerat]

04:06 watch Kirk's lips he says something but his lips do not move

[EarlPitsII]

dem tittehs

[Bestmanme08]

Great bio (All About Jeffrey Hunter) at amazon-kindle for just a $1.09! Shatner dedication in bio!

[gmanmp1821]

I am four episodes away from finishing up this series...this sux...

[chicknumero1]

Wow, that fight sequence at the beginning was actually pretty good

[b4ifly2paradise]

11:38 I'll bet that was a nasty fall!

[utscuba]

@b4ifly2paradise It wasnt a nasty fall no, but a VERY nasy impact lol

[brisingerx]

I still don't believe that william shatner was ever that good looking, sorry to anyone who disagrees, but THAT is NOT the priceline negotiator.

[fanbutton]

These dam commercials are killing me.  I can understand one commercial, but a whole barrage of them makes no sense, and then they have to play em so dam loud. WTF!??

[neveruse513]

1) I've gotta get my hands on some of that zienite gas

2) Droxine is so effing hot

[peterinbrat]

Definitely some of the best eye candy of the series. They used double-sided tape on some of those costumes...

[86pannu]

extreme feminine beauty is always disturbing !!!

[gonats08]

The best line in star trek ever "the best example of anti gravity suspension I have seen" then young women wearing a dress with bakini type top shows up. Plus the high advisor of the planet actually say to some one I advise you.

[gonats08]

The most remarkable example of anti gravity enginering I have seen. Then girl wearing a dress with bakini type top, and full skirt enters, good greif how did this get network OK.

[HubertHoratio]

Why doesn't this violate the prime directive?

[HubertHoratio]

1:57 They are a miniature people, who live in a dollhouse in the sky

[prosciaorg]

Where's the atmospheric bubble to contain the air over Stratus? Or does their atmosphere extend 50 miles above the planet?

[Albacorewing]

She is very skinny by nature. She is not anorexic. Some people are like that.

[Zalibaba]

Then again, I actually have to wonder whether they put such a skinny girl in there as a comment on how a decadent upper-class society would favour such an extreme body-type or whether it's a case of the people in charge of casting thinking such an extreme body-type is attactive -_-

[Zalibaba]

Somebody needs to feed blue-dress-girl. It's probably windy up there and she might get blown away.

[MrlynMac]

The girl looks emaciated.

[MrlynMac]

I love how Kirk always gets some female to wrestle with.

[Sherlockrulez]

"I've never met a Vulcan."

"And I've never met a work of art."

Spock, you flirt!

[leedfoot]

At 14:20 i like yum yum

[jnootens]

that girls blue outfit is crazy hot! id move to stratos

[MrBiblia]

I hate these stupid commercials!! Yet again, thanks to them I can watch Star Trek!! haha

[123wrotgirly]

i swear they had the girls wear as little as legally possible

[Wonaneektte]

Oh what a life of luxury and quiet contemplation must be led, that all the women of Stratos should have abs like Droxine!

[blaze9169]

Looks like Droxine was wanting a bit of that specialty, Cock a la Spock.

[Demithegoddess]

I love how in Amok time, he's tight lipped about what's killing him, in this one he's giving her an entire Vulcan Biology lesson.

Interesting way to bust a movie, Spock.

[kplady13]

Wow. His daughter isn't attracted to Spock

/at all/.

[Demithegoddess]

OMG . . . someone feed that chick a cookie! Sheesh!

[Wyrmshadow]

or a freaking burger!!! She's attractive, for a skeleton.

[HerrMac]

Shut up, envious fat people.

[Wyrmshadow]

I'm not fat, but she looks anorexic.

[nocrusadesplease]

7:22 That fork! That was part of the scenery in the primitive computer-worshiping people who don't know about sex episode!

See, I remember props, but not titles. ^-^;

[Hossfly12]

saw it when just a pup, still think that the cave dweller is hotter than miss stratos. and yes, by 69 their writng was indicative of their budget. get a life, losers. :o)

[czarinaofall]

this is a great one!! i love how most don't pay attention,having more fun being destructive about the props,starwar babies that never saw star trek when it was brand spankin' new

[AndromedaObscura]

Haha nuuu Spock and Nurse Chapel forever XP

[jbranstetter04]

The Disruptor's are idiots, they destroy art forms. Why do they not just do as they are told? They need to stay in their place.

[satinbarbi]

Damn right. Just like those terrorist Patriots back in 1776 shuld have paid the taxes and shut up.

[goji2099]

@satinbarbi Not only were they terrorists, they represented only a minority of people. On top of that, their actions were sometimes deplorable, burning down the homes of entire families simply because they refused to join the revolutionary cause. Our history has been whitewashed to a point where you can't even mention this in a history class. Some people find it almost blasphemous, others feel such talk is unamerican. But we really can't just 'Deny' our history.

[jdskinny212]

@goji2099 not to mention that one of those patriots represented the British officers responsible for the so-called Boston Massacre, getting six of them acquitted while two were convicted of manslaughter. He later became President.

The difference between patriot and terrorist is invariably the difference between ignorance and extra-cultural exposure.

[buerm009]

Hahaha, I Love how the mask on Kirk face isn't even around his entire mouth and nose at 32:44 33:28. Better fire the engineer who made that one :P

[JuggernautJeep]

Epic Suicide Success.

[RodneyAHampton]

They tried to shank spock right off the bat. Not cool.

[SarahRoss89]

This was another episode in which Leonard Nimoy looked a lot like Quinto.

EXCELLENT casting, on their part.

[MegaAwesomeFilms]

Yeah!I thought they looked nothing alike,

then BANG!!!!

They do look alike!

[HellsOnlyBelle]

Also: I don't understand why Spock is discussing pon farr with a stranger. He was so adamant about not telling Kirk, his best friend, anything at all about it because Vulcans just don't talk about it. And yet, he's chit-chatting it over with Droxine. Continuity fail.

[DarlingMsM]

Actually, logic-win. Spock no longer has a bonded mate. It seems he's looking for a replacement. Best to get the business of pon farr on the table, ASAP, if he's serious.

[GangstaGeisha666]

Can i be a possible candidate? XD lmao

[HellsOnlyBelle]

Wow. Droxine is major DNW.

[Hidazuu]

filled with violence deseperation yet she has time for lipstick. might as well look good if your gonna attempt murder i suppose..

[StewieSwan]

I love how kirk speaks and his mouth doesn't move when they're first captured after beamdown

[TheBullBearReport]

How did these assholes ever get into the Federation? Somebody at Fed HQ was not on the job!

[jeanclaude36]

Hey wait a minute! Isn't this the same cave that we saw in "That Which Survives".?

[xxbeautybabesxx]

ok, I'm sorry, but at 4:53 it looks like someone just threw that guy at Kirk! I couldn't help but laugh!!

[MegaAwesomeFilms]

That is sooooo true!

[madebutante]

hot spock scene!!! whoo hooo!

[kabooby0]

am i drunk or is this the worst episode ive ever seen?

[HellsOnlyBelle]

It's certainly up there with some of the bad ones. At least this one had a message, unlike Spock's brain. WTF was that nonsense?

[bealio721]

Nope, this is one of the worst. Easily in the bottom ten.

[elwoodc]

I'd say it's one of the most underrated.

[guyd00]

25:30

[t0t3n3ng3l]

Is it just me or is that orange, sunset-esque sky used in every beam-down to an alien world?

[stonesundial]

28:18-28:24... preemptive self-sacrifice, or negating thereof, by Kirk. Heh.

[Ghosafizzle]

Spock straight mackin on "young Droxene"

[Sprcrzymnkyfish]

ha! 2:15! look at kirks mouth!

[oxymomo]

That was a cool Spockian voice-over at around 12:00.

Oh, and all you skinny-girl haters, stop it! I think she's awesome.

[bmaguire1981]

Geez, someone give that girl a sandwich.

[sbmrunning]

hahhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa ! oh my goodness ! aaaaaaaaaaahhahahahahahaahaaaa­aaa!

[hexalm]

"I'm trying to reach Lando Calrissian..."

"I've just made a deal that'll keep the Empire out of here forever"

"I am altering the deal! Pray I don't alter it further!"

[DarlingNikki2]

I think Droxine's earrings weigh more than she does, LOL!

[sbmrunning]

hahahahaaaaaaaaaa !

[SalvoBrosEnt]

Perhaps the "Haves" will b battling "The-Have-Nots" in the future!?

[ajannjones]

That girl is WAY too skinny.

[sbmrunning]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahahahahahah­aaa !

[Callithyia]

the sudden transition at 16:19 in conversation = LMAO XD

[manipulaxn]

Girl: I have never met a Vulcan

Spock: And I have never met a work of art

Spock is one smooth operator.

[musicluverJmarie17]

@manipulaxn lol I was like OMG Spock said something stupid and yet complementary <3. XD

[johnmonk66]

i am so sick and tired of brooke sheilds shouting about her goto people, and showing us her large mouthed dentists fake ass smile. why are the commercials so damn loud, yet i need my speakers on full to hear star trek?

[ruthzine]

Welcome to commercial Television.

[SpockAndLoad]

4:40

Spock just pushes her and she just falls over. (:^)

4:53

Was that guy THROWN at Kirk?

This is probably one of the best fight scenes in TOS. Spock was totally kicking ass.

[pyromaniacchica]

"Do you think that Captain Kirk and his very attractive officer..." YES! I like this chick already!

[TylerDurdon777]

what is wrong with the sound levels?  Can't hear this well. Have to turn it all the way up and it is just barely loud enough

[crazycoolone]

OMG!!! Spock has GAME!!!! XD

He was coolly kicking it to Droxine while Kirk was asleep. LOL!!!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Spock!!!

I LOVE Droxine's earrings... very cool!

[soz94]

Cool I would put Spock in a lasso. XD

[DemonH2]

wow is she actually supposed to be attractive?

[shawnwoolsey117]

11:30 did he live

[SiennaElderly]

The Councilor's daughter is so skinny! She a freaking barbie doll!

[garyeberly916]

4:52, looks like Capt. Shatner's wig is loosened

[orkutster]

I thought spock mates only once every seven years!!

[danceangel323]

i think he is driven to mate every 7 years, but he can anytime he wants

[orkutster]

This must be where George Lucas got the idea for the suspended city in StarWars 5.

[garyeberly916]

ya, he just made it cooler

[orkutster]

The cloud people must have very efficient lungs to be living at such a high altitude!

[orkutster]

at 4L17 Kirk is heard talking but his lips aren't moving!

[LETHLSS]

it's called 'thinking out loud', i think =P

[13katty13]

4:17

[phantomphiddler5]

it doesn't fit spock to start hitting on girls with barely any clothes on, that's why i don't like this episode that much or all our yesterdays. but this side of paradise was the sweetest and it worked out nicely.

[garyeberly916]

Well what the hell is he supposed to do, let the chicks beat the snot out of him, and let him stand there 'uh, I'm not supposed to hit back, it's not logical and undignified...'

[phantomphiddler5]

But he's just too straightforwardly emotional in these episodes, it's not Spock at all, and the girls aren't even that pretty or nice!

[garyeberly916]

Perhaps he's appearing emotional to let them build up a false sense of security. Hmm, I don't know about not being pretty, the brunette looked pretty good in that sexy blue number she was wearing, especially when she was wrestling with Kirk. That guy had it made, wooing the green ladies

[SiennaElderly]

Nevertheless, I always think it's cute when someone besides Kirk gets a girl.

[aztecgoldsax]

well, i guess so, but this side of paradise was still a lot better cuz spocky had a logical reason for acting so emotional, and the one where McCoy falls in love in for the world is hollow...is also sweet!

[tkofighter123]

I love how they re-use the scenes for different planets

[InkSound4]

The sculpture at 7:08 has been an alien weapon in past episodes. Gotta love that small budget.

[pesmith8768]

Gotta love the Shat ventriloquist overdub in the 1st scene after the title credits. By this point, there was no point in re-shoots, since they knew the series was ending. The 3rd season is full of these quirks.

[dontcallmesurely]

Those boob harnesses are stellar.

[foxboro27]

Kirk was wrong here! In Friday's Child for example, they visited a culture that was also violent, and didn't interfere because it was "wrong to do so."

[CGBossi]

captain kirk and his very attractive first officer? NICE! lolololol

[MCdogma77]

How funny, a notion to labor and terrorism, along with the idea of class equality and social status.

[orlandobabe]

Okay I will admit that Spock is aluring, mesmorizing and very hypnotic but after I get to know him, I think I would be turned off and driven away. Did Spock ever have an excellent relationship.

[xdjxminix]

Call me its my birthday!

585 507 3257

[countbloodula]

List of Star Trek charcters that rule the show:

1. KIRK !

2. Spock

3. Bones

new star trek sux!

[irvingklaw57]

Hmmm, white dust that drives people crazy... hmmm...

[RabbitDance]

Damn. I totally want to do my make up like those girls. It's so neat!

[etherpirate]

Kirk is a douche. More for glory and poon than duty and finishing the mission at hand. How many planets have come minutes or hours away from dying off because of him.

[FatherMcKenize]

is that steve carell?

[sunwing28]

cheney and bush could teach them some torture techniques

[hansumjoe]

yeah, maybe making the troglodytes stand naked on a human pyramid will get them to deliver the zenite...or maybe pretending to have dogs bark at them...yeah, that's real torture...how about beheadings or tying them up and throwing them off of Stratos, one by one...no, that's what the Arabs do now.

[magicianspirit]

How come this comment isn't voted down but say something negative about Obongoo and oohhhh boyyyyy!

[rosesfororion]

Spock... soooooo hot. Love when Droxine is trying to seduce him.

[orlandobabe]

You think if it wasn't for Kirk's call would she have been successful?

[virgy45]

Guantanamo in the sky!

--Are we so sure of our methods that we never question what we do?--

[orlandobabe]

"and his very attractive officer?" no offense to some Spock fan but where is the beauty in him?

[prreynolds]

oooohhhhh boy, you sure going to stir up the crap now.

[imaftergodsheart]

from the side I find him quite attractive. otherwise.. not nearly as much. XD

[KeePinitREAL1025]

That girl that come in at 7:44 seconds is as skinny as a crackhead

[sumpseudonym81]

She must be the origin for the term hair head. How a propos.

[bookgurl316]

spock really has a thing for blondes.

[Demithegoddess]

Almost makes me sad that I dyed my hair black four years ago and kept it that way.

My mother swears I'm the only Strawberry blond to have ever done that to her parents LMAO

[oldladyfan]

I didn't know there were anymore Strawberry blonds--what happened to them all--the REAL ones, I mean!

[tom03570]

who was the actress who played droxane she sure looked hot!

[persepolipse]

droxine looks about five years old.

[SpockLuvsLogic]

Um, I'm sorry but I have to say an Amen to that sentiment, I shuddered so hard I got a headache when I realized that was the chick everyone was referring to...

[JAVAGOIL]

Should have called this one "Conscience is a Killer".

[GrandFunker]

I feel this episode had a big impact on the charachter of the Spock in the new movie. It's an odd one, considering how much Kirk and Spock change roles. Kirk's usually the one to make the pithy comments that turn the dippy blonde on!!

[robjirasama]

talk about your ream job on plato...

[Vixtopher]

hahah captain kirk and his very attractive officer

[hanoc101]

The actress playing Droxine looks like she threw on that dress and almost missed. ST:TOS had some xtremly hot women. This one goes for Spock.

[Setebos]

William Theiss gained a well-earned reputation for creating the most daring costumes for women ever to appear on television, and this episode features one of the better examples.

[clokverkorange]

I like how Kirk always has to call the Enterprise 3-4 times before anyone actually "picks up".

[littlepuppy89]

I am a fan of Spock!!!

[hanoc101]

Spock's got some game in this episode.

[homeygfunk]

i agree spock has wicked cool game here

Spock "the 7 year cycle is inherantly bological"

Droxine " and nothing can disturb this cycle?"

Spock " extreme beauty is always disturbing"

boldly go for it dude

[ART13autotune]

yes this is simply the first step for the Troglites

note the mask will make them smarter and stronger

the ruling class will lose control
