He guested on _I Dream of Jeannie_ playing the evil Blue Djinn, the one who trapped Jeannie in her bottle 2,000 years ago. Eden's real-life husband playing Jeannie's nemesis!
great classic Star Trek episode, dealing with an unknown alien force, and messages against war and against racism, and yet another example of Star Trek having been woke since day one! 😃 And you were beautiful as always 😍
@@stevejoshua9536 "as "woke" is stretching the definition a bit too far." What are you talking about? Woke has ALWAYS meant anti-racism. It's about supporting all unfairly marginalized groups. LGBT, different ethnicities, etc. You are "woke", meaning you are "awakened" to injustices. If you're saying you're "against woke", it means you support racism and bigotry. So either you're anti-trump and don't realize it yet, or you just don't understand what you hear from fox news. "Stay woke" is something people said in the 60s, it was about the civil rights movement, and it's still used in that context. (it actually goes back prior to the 60s, but has always meant "remain vigilant against injustices against marginalized groups".) Protests against the Vietnam War were going on at the same time, late 60s, so yes, "stay woke" encompasses that as well. (and no, maga is NOT associated with anti-war protests in the late 60s. The equivalent at that time was very much in favor of the vietnam war, and was very much in favor of going into Iraq in 2003.) Jack Dorsey had "stay woke" shirts printed for Twitter employees, to express that they were against racism. Musk made fun of them in a video he made on Twitter because he's a racist from apartheid South Africa and very much subscribes to the attitudes of whites in South Africa during apartheid. And the guy you voted for gave him power nationally, at the White House. So what does that say about trump, and what does it say about you. The election in 2024 had a clear good side and a clear bad side. Many Republicans spoke out against trump. Bush 43 is close friends with Obama....but doesn't want to be seen in public with trump. I don't capitalize trump's name. I don't capitalize the names of "men" whom I do not respect.
@@stevejoshua9536 Well, seeing as people who use the term unironically can't ever properly define what they mean, other than "things I don't like." It's as good as any use of the word.
Excellent episode on racial and social issues culminating to the tragendy of blind hatred and how senseless it is. Man, I wish the world would learn from a show made over 60 years ago that was trying it best to tell us to get the fuck along or we are doomed!
I am wondering if the Enterprise layout and specifications are just general plans that anyone can access or are they files that have restricted access and a security code or specific authorization is required to view them?
Actually, we might have a slight disagreement here, between the original series and TNG, as there may be a Klingon "satan", who is referred to as "Fek'lhr".
In fact, the writing staff were careful to refer to Fek'lhr as being the "guardian of Gre'thor" in order to be consistent with Kang's statement claiming that Klingons have no devil. Since Fek'lhr and Satan are vastly different in origin, etc.
2 points: I was curious if you found the fact that some or all of the Klingon actors wore a dark tone makeup offensive... (It has been criticized before) I sincerely hope it didn't offend you.... And point 2: looking at this episode through today's political lens, I couldn't help but see how the aliens power fed off of division and negative propaganda... Gee, I guess that makes the "RED" alien you know who... 😊 peace & love... to all! ❤
love this reaction and episode.
You've now seen the Triumvirate of Great Klingon captains.
Some trivia: Michael Ansara, who plays Kang, was married to Barbara Eden for a number of years....was always jealous of him for that.😄

Now the computer sounds like the Beta 5 computer from Assignment Earth. Someone must have liked the voice.😊
I've always wanted to see the Star Trek (TOS) computer talk to Mother from Alien.
Klingon weak spot, the elbow.😂😂😂
Security Guard Johnson must be Galloway's twin brother who was vaporized by Captain Tracy in The Omega Glory.🤔🤔😮👍😊

Referring to anti-war and anti-racism as "woke" is stretching the definition a bit too far.

To your point, since the Klingons heard propaganda about the Federation I wonder how much of what we know about the Klingons is accurate.
Bottom 1/3 for me on this one. The redemptions are the various character development and how they made a hot Klingon woman.
some may say its like what the Devil ( if you believe in him ) is doing in present day. from a religious point of view.
