My favorite among many. Balok had a great one too, "Yes Captain, you and I are much alike. Both proud of our ships." The Romulan Captian, "You and I are of a kind. In a different reality I could have called you friend." Kirks line that I actually use pretty often, usually when going into a bar with friends, "We're going in peacefully, but peacefully or not, we're going in." (Armageddon) There's just so freakin many. Awesome stuff.
Going through the Comments, one can't help but notice that this episode touched a lot of hearts, and had an emotional impact that I can't recall any other having....sniff sniff, bwaaaaaaaaaa!!!
In hindsight, this really does sum up humanity’s basest hypocrisy. Solving problems with violence, then offering empty platitudes and regrets while standing over the rubble.
Love the hightech hand holding the Enterprise back lol. In the beginning notice the two panels with blinking lights on each side of the tele-movie screen thing they were talking to Apollo on. Look at them closer I think they're for buttons on a old 60s elevator! Lol.
This halfassed misrepresenting "apollo" is. But, True Real Apollo God Almighty Holy cant be such he does All and is All and Moves All. He's Omnipresent as God does all things like this and never is lonely.

The saddest thing about all this is that Apollo despite his big ego and megalomania wasn't evil at heart, he truly DID love Humanity and would've loved the Enterprise crew as if they were his own children and he would've made a goddess out of Carol-Lynn because he loved her romantically. Sadly, Humanity could no longer provide him with what he wanted, he should've just gone off and found some low tech Humanoid aliens' planet to settle on and persuade them to worship him, find a woman suitable to love and cherish and produce a new pantheon of gods with her.
There is a type of person who loves people in the abstract, but doesn't care for any particular person very much. This describes Apollo. And, no, he didn't love Carolyn...you can't love someone you know only a few hours. He was just sexually attracted.
The Race Analyst, PHD yes, me too. I also like it when Apollo says take me, & that echo effect. also, an earlier line when Apollo says, & I'll crush it's empty hull.😐
The problem is, just a few laurel leaves is not an option. It’s either move out in our humanity, with all its imperfections and weaknesses, but nevertheless in unending quest-or grovel down in submission to superstition and slavery to religion. There is no middle ground. In “Things to Come” the protagonist frames the question squarely: “All the universe, or nothing! Which will it be? Which will it be-?”
Except that is complete BS. Civilizations that disregard God's laws end up crumbling and destroying themselves from within. Nations that embrace God's laws are the ones that flourish. America was flourishing in the 1950s because America heavily embraced God. Now America has rejected God and is now destroying itself from the inside. Grease and Rome and the Incas and the Mayans and the Babylonians and the Egyptians all became decadent at one point in time and their civilizations collapsed as a result. The huge advancements those civilizations made could not save them because they were too decadent.
He's on a first name basis with the mythologicals...damn. 00:07 The best actor of all Star Treks..."...see what you've done to me..." Then he got on swole before leaving the scene.
I wonder how in the world did NBC get away from this plot airing in the Bible Belt during the 1960s. When I saw this episode as a kid several times, I never really thought the plot may have contained some kernels of truth. The sad ending did stay with me for a long time.
Behind every, Greek "God" of a Man.......is a totally, Smokin' Hot Woman, who will ultimately destroy him !The Star Trek Life Lesson from : "Who Mourns for Adonais?" :- )
I knew a childhood friend who moved across the country (From Florida to California) , and gave up his good job that he had a career in (If he would have just stayed put..), to follow a Hot Brunette Girl that he was dating and wanted to marry. Needless to say, the same thing that happened to Apollo, happened to him. She destroyed his "temple" & he came home to Florida in shame, and had to start all over.
@Anton Boludo There's only one God (big "G"), ma'am, regardless of how many beings are regarded as gods (small "g"). And are you sure that's the OP's intent?
Interesting...... "We can longer worship you and be your slaves" (essentially what Kirk says) then after destroying Apollo's temple, Kirk says "Well.... MAYBE we could have worshiped him a little bit!"
This fascinating! Beings like Apollo are even more human in their behavior than mortals. While other gods or God like beings have a more macro view of existence and look at any other beings below them as ants .
Should we really grow up and stop praying to a God? Mmmm dare I said it should I be struck by thunder? Crazy. This episode made me think in a way I wish I didn't want to think. Cause at time I feel like my mind is fighting with my spirit trying to prove it wrong.
One of the ways that the ancient Greeks honored the Gods was to festoon their temples with Laurel leaves. Kirk was saying that the Greek pantheon of gods was pivotal in the forming of the seminal Greek civilization, from which much of our modern culture arose. He was lamenting the fact that the crew were not able to show appreciation for the contribution of the gods by at least gathering some Laurel for Apollo's temple.
@@stevebishop9468 yes that's true. But a common theme in alot of episodes is that religion is usually just technology that man has worshipped. In this case Apollo gets his power from an "unknown organ". In return of the archons it was a computer. In the episode with Vol... It was a machine... In the squire of gothos it was a computer... There are a few more episodes of that nature as well. RODDENBERRY was a great hater of religion.
If only Gene Roddenberry was alive to see the mess his kind helped create, to see how poorly his philosophy aged. Without God, humans start worshiping themselves and worshiping other humans, like how some people in Hollywood now have giant egos and other people worship the Kardashians as examples, and the ultimate result of humans worshiping themselves and other humans ends up both disgusting and tragic. People like to point out that religion killed millions of people over the thousands of years, but they ignore the fact that atheistic ideologies like communism murdered 100 million people in the span of a single century.
Fallen angels are fake and demons just like your fake good angels and Satan and Jesus and Jehovah/yahweh too they and only they are the fallen angel demon spirits of Evil. Repent. True Gods Almighty Like Apollo prove all show all evil Wrong. Apollo is as he is God Almighty Like the Others. Repent and dont be deceived by Demons and Devils. The True Gods Are as Told and More way way way Way More. Repent and Truth.
I would have loved to watch Kirk "mouth off" to Hera, Aphrodite, Athena OR Artemis! "We're tired of YOU and YOUR PHONY FIREWORKS!" "Mankind had no need for gods. We find the One quite sufficient." "You're no god to US, mister!" The Olympian Goddesses would have killed Kirk on the spot, especially Artemis! And maybe Hera, since she was so ill-tempered.
Let's see. This "god" was quite able to deliver on his promises. In our real life, Earth gods deliver war, pestilence, hunger and suffering and none of them can be seen. So I am on board. I would worship him.
There is no "earth god's" Gods Are Beyond all and Everpresent to all. Gods Almighty like Apollo give pestilence to teach and show sinful wicked humans justice and lessons of Holiness and Piety.

Apollo didn't listen to his counterparts and found out the hard way.
"Would it have hurt us, I wonder, just to have gathered a few laurel leaves?"
One of Kirk's best line in the original series.
One of those philosphical Roddenberry lost-Eden-childhood-innocence thing. Goin' down to Eden, man. . .

Apollo was lonely and didn't know to handle modern educated people
Watch the episode. In the ST universe, it was the Olympians who promoted education in the first place.

did someone watched star trek continues apollos story continues there in tbe first ep its only a fan series but damn good looking like tos
"She spread herself upon the wind until only the wind remained."
Very revealing that his last plea is to Athena...Goddess of Wisdom.
"...See what you have done to me..."...a shout out to all his old friends...a favorite...
The Race Analyst, PHD yes, me too. I also like it when Apollo says take me, & that echo effect. also, an earlier line when Apollo says, & I'll crush it's empty hull.😐
If all the Federation began to worship Apollo,the Klingon and Romulan Empires would never have been a threat again. Price is too high of course.
Apollo: I am a God!
Kirk: Whatever pal.
If Apollo teamed up with Plato's stepchildren, Kirk and his crew would have been in big trouble.
There is no room for gods...
Tell it to Q
..."gather a few laurel leaves". And "Mankind has no need for gods. We find the One quite adequate". STOS was absolutely inspired.
The problem is, just a few laurel leaves is not an option.

Typical comic fantasy
How very true, one of the most applicable comments I've ever read on RUclips,
I like the line in that episode where Kirk tells Apollo that we have no need for Gods, we find the One quite sufficient.
Chris Haywood me too. it's enteresting that on the show this being is known as apollo, but yet the name of the is who mourns for Adonis?🤔
That's one too many, but sure, yeah...
"The One" being Q, of course. :)
I believe thats the only reference to god in the OS. And an unnecessary one at that.
+Lakefront Journal No, nobody had encountered the Q yet, and in any case, there are thousands of Q.
"Larry. . . Moe. . . Curly. . . you were right. . . "
?
+Anton Boludo *facepalm* Yes. I know the names. I don't see what this has to do with them.
@Anton Boludo There's only one God (big "G"), ma'am, regardless of how many beings are regarded as gods (small "g"). And are you sure that's the OP's intent?
@Anton Boludo Oh, always. But like Martin Luther, I've always got a pot of ink handy to give him what for.
@Anton Boludo I am, actually! :-) My dad's a retired minister ("retired" being rather an amorphous term in some professions, including that one).

Toga party!
Picard and Janeway would take a more pacifist route.
By telling him to find a pre industrial society to be worshipped by?
Should we really grow up and stop praying to a God? Mmmm dare I said it should I be struck by thunder? Crazy. This episode made me think in a way I wish I didn't want to think. Cause at time I feel like my mind is fighting with my spirit trying to prove it wrong.
I can't make out Kirk's final line, help?
One of the ways that the ancient Greeks honored the Gods was to festoon their temples with Laurel leaves. Kirk was saying that the Greek pantheon of gods was
pivotal in the forming of the seminal Greek civilization, from which much of our modern culture arose. He was lamenting the fact that the crew were not able to

Frank Kelly , now I got it, thanks! It's sometimes difficult for me to hear what actors are saying.
+Frank Kelly The OP said that he couldn't hear it, not that he couldn't understand it.
Frank Kelly
Thanks. That's why I like some of this original series. There was some really smart writing
Frank Kelly I thought it was just him wondering if he would hurt them over something as basic as leaves. Making them true slaves
What Happened to Apollo?
Friends they were brothers and sisters
How does one Scotty compete with that guy...
Even the gods are no match for a woman's trickery
Leaked footage of the new assassins creed
Another great anti-religion episode. Well acted great story.
Watch the episode more thoroughly...Kirk tells Apollo they find one god quite sufficient.

It's only a story.
Jeez Scottie, Man up! You’re woman is crying over the loss of her Greek God and you’re comforting her?
She was never his woman, he was just being a jealous man child.
So what was he? An alien?
Yes.
It's why Greek mythology died out. The ONE is what survived.
Byron Gordon Can't survive if it never existed in the first place.
God was never a part of Greek belief.
+Sean O "It" does, as a matter of fact, but even if "it" didn't, lots of imaginary things can "survive" simply by being talked about.
We've merely replaced one mythology with another.
+Brian Esposito You mean "Star Trek" replacing Greek mythology.
