Edited reaction to Star Trek TOS (1966) - Season 2 - The Omega Glory | Canadian Reaction | TV Commentary
We are back this week with some more Star Trek: The Original Series! Today, we are watching THE OMEGA GLORY. In this episode, our crew finds a deserted USS Exeter orbiting Omega IV with strange white crystal powders in lieu of the crew. They quickly find the captain on Omega IV and discover that he's out his own interest above the Prime Directive. This episode was soooo good and the end was even better. This is one of those episodes that give me hope in a better world, and most importantly, in people.
I can't wait to read what you have to say about this one!

What did you say at 4:09. I couldn’t understand it
I said... "please tell me that... (I was going to say please tell me that he didn't die) did he die?" 😊
Hot in Cleveland is a good show 👍
Such a great show! I love it so much!
@@AlexxaReacts me too by the way are you gonna do the golden palace? there's only one season which I believe there should have been more Sofia is at her best in this show...so funny
The opening of the DD Weapon was supposed to look like a gateway to Hell - That's why Commodore Decker (while in shock) said ""Straight out of Hell!!!"
Star Trek predicted TRUMPites in 1968.
One episode out of 3 seasons (five if you also count TAS) that does a little healthy flag-waving and there are still people to this very day who are moved to crap on it for precisely that reason alone. They probably have no idea what the words to The Star Spangled Banner are even all about since their teachers purposefully left that out of their curriculum. This video, while dramatized for effect, fills in that gap: ruclips.net/video/YaxGNQE5ZLA/видео.html
I Remember going to the Movies watching Belly 🍿 when came out 1998 I Miss you DMX😢😢😢
I plan on watching more. The only complaint is, while your voice is super loud, easy to lower my volume, the t.v. show volume is super low, and I canlt fix it.
Thank you for watching and for the feedback. The videos will change as you continue watching. A lot of changes were implemented since the first episode 😊💛
Pleace react to the next Bridget Jones movies! 🙏
Ah, this ending. This goofy goofy ending. Up there with Bread & Circuses. Season 3 does at least have an episode that explains all of these random extremely Earth-like civilisations.
The only TOS episode I find unwatchable. An insult to one's intelligence.
30:05 Mark! 418 Views + Mine! 🎉 Thumb Up #74! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊 Notes: Another jolly good review! However, I was a bit distracted by seeing that someone decorated your wall with a black boot print! 😮 It was to your right shoulder. Kevin, in the original "Wonder Years" on "ABC" he watched "Star Trek" too. His family was Caucasian. The new version set in the same time but within a Black neighborhood. I didn't get to see many episodes before we lost our ability to watch television. So I don't know if he watched "Star Trek" as well, or not. But one special episode with Kevin had him fantasizing about the episode "Spock's Brain" as I recall. It reflects his fears or concerns about asking Winnie out! Wait! That's Grandma's name. Ugh. Maybe her name started with a "W" but I know it wasn't "Wendy" or "Wanda". He was afraid to ask her out. 🤔 This episode's fight scenes have been talked about, but not reenacted! 😅 Bye-bye for now! 🙏
27:29 Mark! 😂 Which option is the funnier visual? That the rescue party arrived on horses? Or in 🏀 uniforms? 🤔 😅 Or those church robes worn by the "Calvary Baptist Church" if I recall correctly? 🤔 😅
Some people like it, some don't. By this point i had come to accept "Earth parallel stories" as part of their world. It might be more palatable for some if this were an alternate universe? At any rate, I liked seeing Morgan Woodward again and the intensity he brings!
25:12 Mark! Alexxa! Psst! "Exeter" and "exerter" have different spellings and meanings! 😉
16:15 Mark! He's been in Westerns and pulled gun triggers, and in the cop shows too, I think, but there are no joke outtakes in which they make PHASER sounds! 😂😅
10:28 Mark! What do I have in common with actress Sarah Michelle Gellar and actor William Shatner? Taekwondo, that's what! But they are belt levels above me! In 1978, I read the issue of "Starlog Magazine" with him on the cover. His school has a color that "Brothers Taekwondo" doesn't have. He had that belt color! Later on in, I think it was "Black Belt Magazine" it said that he had advanced to that status. The point is that the Taekwondo method involves using thumbs on pressure points somewhere in the same area that Spock grabs and pinches. 😊 Hehe! Actor Billy Crystal as his "Soap" character in one episode, in a fit of desperation, tries the Vulcan Nerve Pinch on a much bigger guy, and when it works he shouts at the ceiling, "Thank you, Mister Spock!" 😂 By the way, if I recall correctly about SMG, when she began playing "Buffy Anne Summers" she was a Blue Belt who became a Black Belt by series end! 🥋
9:05 Mark! Ahem. I'm not one of those to ever say that something is so bad that it's good! I either enjoy it and like it or I don't! If I like it, then it is "good"! But some episodes I like more than others because of the factors involved. Sure, seeing a different ship appeals to me. Sure, a good story, theme, or plot appeals to me. Sure, I enjoy a good brawl, fight, or ship combat. But since going through puberty and adolescence, the sex appeal factor of the females has been at the top! 😅 This guest blonde appeals to me. But she's not Teri Garr! "Roberta Lincoln" isn't wearing fur for one. "BAN FUR" as we say! Also, she gets to speak, so she's more than "eye candy" as they say. ❤
8:40 Mark! Not allowed in the 1960s! I blame "America's Funniest Home Videos" from "ABC" for making it a commonplace thing allowed on "family friendly television" when such attacks used to be found only in "adult entertainment"! Like "Breast Fights" still are. Busty babes, instead of using big bellies as the Sumo wrestlers who inspired them do, use their busts to push each other around! Or the Boxing version in which only hits to breasts count! Ditto with slap fights! 😁
3:57 Mark! One aspect about his "Star Trek" appearances that I like is that it gave him a break from appearing in Westerns and Poilce shows. 😊 I'm not sure if I've seen him in a Comedy. 🤔
2:41 Mark! Alexxa, greetings! 🖖 Thanks for unlocking it so that we can view it! 😊 Yay! 🎉 Lest anyone to doubt that this is the DR version. That's the improved version of the Starship Exeter rather than the usage of an expertly put together "AMT" model kit combined with stock footage of the Starship Enterprise! 😎👍
This is one of those episodes that's a good story but has some major plotholes. We're hundreds of light-years from Earth, but the planet is populated by aliens who look exactly like humans? And where did they get the US Constitution and US Flag? Makes no sense as shown. Somebody said there's a deleted scene that explains they came from Earth, but that should not have been deleted, because it doesn't make sense without it. Plus they have to explain why people have there at least 1000 years, when man has only had Faster than Light travel for less than 400 years. lol 🙂 But, it's still a good story, and I loved the video 🙂
Tracy definitely was equal to Kirk in fighting skill. I'd imagine before he changed, he was a pretty formidable starship captain.
No, Alexa. Sorry but this episode is so awful that I will sit this one out. 😫
Where's your patriotism ?
@@stevejoshua9536 Why are you assuming they're American?
Galloway was in the first season episodes "Miri" "The Galileo Seven" and "The City on the Edge of Forever"
Wow, I've seen every episode at least a dozen time and did not know that. I should take better notes.
I think THE ALTERNATIVE FACTOR is the worst TOS episode.
???? You think "The Alternative Factor" was worse than _this?_ Worse than the one where they met those telepathic Ancient Greeks that made them sing and dance around, and forced Kirk to make out with Uhura? What about the one where they jumped back in time as if they did so routinely to discover how humanity survived the nuclear age, for the sake of promoting another Gene Roddenberry show on N.B.C? She hasn't seen this one yet, but what about the one called "Spectre of The Gun"? Or the one with ... Or the episode where the Enterprise was sent to retrieve an early deep space probe, but dropped out of Warp too late, and crashed into it, damaging the ship and stranding them falling into a living black hole? 🤔 Or maybe that was another show.
FUN FACT: During season two, George Taki was cast in a supporting role in the John Wayne film The Green Berets, so he was temporarily unavailable to be in Star Trek for ten weeks, which meant Walter Koenig benefited from George's absence. Sulu's roles for both The Trouble With Tribbles & The Games of Triskelion were rewritten for Walter. Great reaction today! I look forward to your future reactions! ❤️
Yes, Lewis. We know because at least once every two or three of her videos someone or other brings that up yet again. 🙄
Looks like Capt. Tracey will be sent to the Tantalus colony for rehabilitation, by Dr. Van Gelder. That should be a fun introduction, eh? Omega IV: Better than Omega-3 for your health, until you either turn to powder or go crazy. This was one of several scripts proposed to be made as the second original series pilot episode. Obviously, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" prevailed. There is a short (two episode) fan series called "Starship Exeter". It is a very early effort that set the standard for later fan productions. Some say that its episode "The Savage Empire" is better than some actual Trek episodes. It pre-dates the "New Voyages" fan series, which is also quite good.
I hope he will give himself the help he needs.
1. Here we go with the vaunted "Prime Directive" trope. 2. The best part of this episode is the patented "hot girl" that I never tire of.😈 3. Mini flashback to "This Side of Paradise" and why we're stranded on this planet. 4. How deep did they have to dig for that CHEESE?🙄
There is an online archive called, "American Rhetoric," featuring the greatest American speeches. It has a Star Trek subsection, featuring a clip of the "We the People" scene from this episode!
Alexxa: Imprison the RIGHT white folk! HA! This white guy couldn't agree with you more, Alexxa! :)
The infamous Star Trek Blooper Reel featured that shot of Ron Tracey's hand, holding the phaser, and firing it--but the sound effect was a BANG!--as in a gunshot!
Yeah,okay….so,this was one of the worst episodes of all time.I think,this episode of;The omega Glory is still good,even if some people don’t think 🤔 so?And,I agree!The costitution mean’s:”all the people”.Or,as Captain Kirk say’s these words;unless these words mean something,than it mean’s nothing unless it mean’s:”all the people,do you understand?After all the fighting is over,and thing’s have calmed down,than these people understand how to enjoy their freedom,which they all deserve!I wonder,too,what the James Blish story would say,here?I’ll have to check that out if I find the said story!Again,I thought this episode:’meant something!’And,our real America 🇺🇸 is a great country,and we have lot’s of great people here,who enjoy America as well!I can still hear my mom saying;it’s a good thing that they made this show a long,time,ago,because,most of these actor’s are no longer with us,now!Yes,I must agree with her here on that!She’s no longer here,but,some of these memories of her come back to me.Okay,on with another show!Yeeha!😊
Ron Tracey is another Starfleet bad apple. There will be more rogue captains and flag officers ahead. This theme of evil captains becomes a trend throughout Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry and Harlan Ellison once had that epic battle over Harlan's character, Beckwith, in his original script for "The City on the Edge of Forever." Beckwith was a drug dealer and a murderer who was the original catalyst that entered Earth's past and changed the course of history. Roddenberry wanted no bad apples on the Enterprise, so the script was rewritten to make McCoy the catalyst; accidentally overdosing on Cordrazine, entering a crazed state, and leaping through the portal, affecting history. This conflict drove a wedge between the two men for the rest of their lives. The thing is that here in "Omega Glory," this quarrel has come full circle! Now, Gene Roddenberry is OK with the idea that Starfleet has some bad apples, implicitly agreeing with Ellison.
@@datacipher You are a troll. Go away.
@@datacipher You mad this needlessly personal, but "evil admirals" is a more accurate description of the trope.

Great episode with a great message....enjoyed your reaction Alexandra!
Really?This is the worst Star ⭐️ Trek episode?Hmm…..I’ve watched this episode of;The Omega Glory several time’s!Well,I guess,that’s how the cookie 🍪 crumbles in this story?Never the less,I still like Star ⭐️ Trek!😊❤
The ending is profoundly nonsensical, but there is sadly much worse to come...
Well,okay….than,I guess,I have my;”full answer’to this Omega Glory episode,here!Well,too….since Star ⭐️ Trek was made over fifty(wow,I can’t believe it was that many year’s,ago!)year’s ago,one can’t change what’s already happened here!I mean,it started as a serie’s in the fall of 1964.And,the series “lives on’in those James Blish book’s as well.Too,you can’t win 🥇 them all in a show!Now a days,I just watch Mystery on channel eleven,or Masterpiece Theater.🎭
Some people at my apartment complex like soap 🧼 opera’s as well.My mom 👩 couldn’t understand why people liked them.Because,she thought the storie’s were rather,I guess you could say….mixed up?⬆️ There aren’t too many soap 🧼 opera’s on,anymore!We had ton’s of them in my day,back in the late ⏰ 1960”s!Dark Shadow’s is one that come’s to mind.
This has always been on the list of worst Star Trek episodes. People thought it was jingoistic but I always liked it. It also shows how once again these starship commanders go bat shit crazy when they lose their entire crews. BTW, Morgan Woodward, who played Captain Tracy also played Dr. Simon Van Gelder in “dagger of the mind” he was an excellent character actor who was on seemingly every TV show of the 60s and 70s.
Agreed. It’s not necessarily a great episode, but it has its strong points. Captain Tracy makes for a very threatening villain.
@@BfdidcOf course, when you consider that Actor Thomas Morgan Woodward(Capt Tracey) was also "the man with no eyes" in the movie "Cool Hand Luke".
I imagine it must be a tough episode to sit through, when you have no love for your own country.
@@stevejoshua9536 Or when America's not your country.
Thank you for doing this one. I had forgotten the powerful messages that are blending into the story and I so agree that the villain here was portrayed so well. Star Trek The original Series often created a story around planets that mirrored our own and even at times when it might feel a bit ridiculous. But Gene Roddenberry wanted to present these stories so as not to be censored by the Network executives at the time. And yes, he did fight them hard. Some stories he wanted to go much deeper and in some episodes he wished could have been a 2-part story to develop the idea further. Gene held the feeling that all life on Earth was connected and that each person, regardless of race or religion or country were all connected as well. The collective humanity, exploring space together to bring unity to all. This episode was good one with the mistaken understanding of the virus that killed the first ship's crew. So well written.
I love the subtle acting technique by William Marshall. He rushes in all intense saying “THIS IS” then lowers his voice, as if he’s talking to a child and says “my this is Daystrom”. Brilliant, subtle acting technique by Marshall.
This was actually one of Roddenberry's episodes from the first season that wasn't actually made until years later. Features one of Kirk's most epic speeches. At the time I first heard it, had no idea Shat was actually Canadian. I still thought he was an all American boy. Yes, you do know Galloway. Good eye. As it happens, although he got vaporized in this episode, he turns up perfectly fine in a later show or two. McCoy's human body water percentage is way too high, but we are in fact, mostly water, walking around, thinking, loving, fighting, and so on and so forth. The dessication virus turns up in a rather good novel, but it's tied into a later series you haven't begun to watch so I'll say no spoilers. Actually the story wasn't entirely well executed. It would have made more sense if the two factions had been kidnapped from Earth in the 1990s (Tos-verse version). It's beyond belief that an entirely different culture came up with exactly the same wording as was written on Earth for the "document" Kirk recites from. Oh and they just happened to come up with an identical flag. And the same Pledge of Allegiance. Hell no. Anyway, Cheers, Alexa! PS. It's USS X-It-ter. Probably named after HMS EXETER of the British Navy. There was also a USS HOOD named after HMS HOOD.

Hi Alexxa! Nice Vulcan salute!
It's so sad Estelle Getty died as a result of Lewy body dementia. Bea Arthur told that when they went visiting her she didn't recognize them.
The guy who played Daystrom sounded a lot like Gregory Peck!!
The actor for the admiral was the security chief in the horta episode.
Amazing how the more things change, the more they stay the same. Watch a political debate from 15 or 20 yrs. ago & many issues we're dealing w/today are the same (if not worse cuz of lack of solutions). Watch or read old sci-fi & see "warnings" w/tech. & computer progression, machines doing man's jobs & how it effects mankind (for better or worse), strict logic of computing, AI inevitably leading to self-awareness, etc. Yet, for all the warnings, our course is unaltered (sort of like history repeating itself). If only we humans cld really act like the top of the food chain & listen to & learn from ourselves. For all the campiness & datedness of ST Orig Series, it sure did tackle issues that are still relevant today. "That" will nvr get old to me.
Leona refers to Leona Helmsley...the "Queen of Mean" of New York City's society and hotel industry...she was big in the 80's for saying, "Only the little people pay taxes."
