- One of my favorite moments from the original series.
Shore Leave
Star Trek: The Original Series episode (season 1, episode 15)
In 2267, the USS Enterprise discovered the Shore Leave Planet, an artificial world where complex machinery could bring fantasies to life. After he picked up a flower, Kirk, now a captain, thought of his long-lost love. Reading his thoughts, the planet computer created a robot that was a duplicate of Ruth. (TOS: "Shore Leave").

Music: "Ruth" by Alexander Courage & Gerald Fried.

Say what you want about William Shatner but he could act, the way his facial expressions and tone convey his conflict at the love of his past, Ruth, and the love of his present, the Enterprise. He goes back-and-forth between the confident starship commander and the lovestruck teen all within seconds of each other. Great acting.
And those pair of absolutely gorgeous eyes (Ruth's) need no acting!
She has cats eyes !
This is what makes Star Trek special. Not only the story lines, but the actors who portray them
Don't forget the music
This is one of the best scenes from Star Trek TOS, I remember it fondly from when I was 13 years old or so. I am now 65, and it brings tears to my eyes, when I see Ruth meeting Kirk after so many years, the music, Ruth's attire, her hair, her beauty. Really liked Kirk's line "Don't you like birds, Mr. Rodriguez?" and Ruth's suppression of a laugh at that line. Maybe my favorite scene from Star Trek TOS ever, wish it went longer... :)
well said 74bshs😀
There is a storyline behind that. Look up Kirk and Ruth cartwrigh On google
this music is perfect! will always love this tune
This beautiful romantic theme was first used in this episode, which is why it will forever belong to Jim Kirk and Ruth.🌹🌹🌹
Excellent acting by William Shatner. Great episode. Lots of fun.
I always assumed that Ruth had died sometime in Kirk's past, which would explain the note of longing in his voice. Superbly underplayed by Shatner
The music in this episode was superb, from Ruth's theme to Finnegan's theme excellent
This music always makes me cry.
The hammy, exaggerated impressions of William Shatner that became a stand-up comic staple belies what those of us who grew up watching TOS have always known: William Shatner was a *great* actor. Throughout the first season especially, there are countless moments just like this, where Shatner sells a moment of great emotional depth with barely a few words. And the incidental music just takes it to another level.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
A woman so powerful to Kirk, made him forget his true love, The Enterprise for the briefest of moments.
When he sees his old girlfriend again and with the music it made me all choked up!
😪You are me alike!
That song "Ruth" was written by Gerald Fried. Hauntingly beautiful and evokes deep emotion. Used again in the scene where Spock tells Leila goodbye, and he cannot be with her on her planet. So sad.
Grow up! ~ ALL Females are EVIL!!! 😈
I LOVE the piec e of music they wrote for this. Stuck in my mind for all time. Very emotional.
Always liked this emotional piece of music from the love story episodes of Startrek
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
For my money the most beautiful woman in the whole series. And what grace, poise, gentility and innocence she portrays here.
The original series is in a class by itself.
The tune is exquisite! She is nice too!
This is one of the best sountracks that I've ever heard
With the decided exception of Dr Janice Lester most all of Kirk's reunions of this type amounted to, "Good to see you again, let's have a drink." This one is decidedly different. Near the end of this episode he just about drops what he's doing to meet up with what amounts to an idealized simulacrum. His and Ruth's backstory must've been...fascinating. And if this is your effective introduction to the writings of Theodore "Ted" Sturgeon then be assured he wrote a lot like this and very much hit home. Treat yourself to that.
The one And ONLY SHORE LEAVE
This episode relaxes me for some reason
❤Growing up watching star trek , thinking how beautiful it is to fall in Love .
1:45 I like seeing him happy. All those years on that 5 year mission facing death at every turn, and he is happy here.
Kinda breaks my heart with her not being real.
One of my favorite episodes. What can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic. Ruth is just beautiful, you can see their love is still there. To have the man I love look into my eyes like that is the best feeling in the world. Shame they never became a permanent couple back when on Earth 😔
star trek is just so relaxing to watch
Wouldn't we all react the same if we saw our first great love?
I did. When I saw my first love again, and we were free to be together. It only took 30 years. But, if that music could have been playing at that moment, it would have. We were together till Bud passed away this past September 2022. I will be in love with him for all eternity.
The soundtrack for the entires series seems so perfect.
*"Ruth" (in my opinion) ranks #1 out of all of Kirk's women during the three years of Star Trek - sorry, "Edith Keeler" - but "Ruth" was Kirk's most beautiful love, and radiated a moral goodness that made "Edith Keeler" seem like a Satanist by comparison. And made Kirk's other loves seem like street hookers. What a lot of Star Trek fans may not realize, but "Ruth" was played by the former star of a TV series herself - "My Sister Eileen". The actress's name is Shirley Bonne, and, yes, as of 2020, she's still alive - aged 86 - three years younger than William Shatner, who's 89.*
so true
My two all time favorite actors: William Shatner and James Garner
Ain't he just lovely, that man certainly floats my boat!😍
55 YEARS AND TREK GOING STRONG
Ever since I first watched this (when I was ten, at the most) I thought she's dead in reality. I can't say why I got that vibe, but I still feel like that.
I never felt that. I just felt that Captain Kirk was, for a moment, once more that youthful young man, re-living this great love, and realizing what he had sacrificed - although he's seeing an idealized, still-young version of his years ago true love. William Shatner'sacting, , plus that beautiful score, brings us all of the poignancy of his missing those relatively carefree, youthful days, and missing her.
I always assumed she had died also.
There's a story line behind it. She was his girlfriend When he was in starfleet training She disagreed with him doing it and they broke up. I think her name was ruth cartwright in the story line behind them and there relationship
It's classic. The fairest in the land on this episode though is Yeoman Barrows. But,that's with my taste. Even more than Janice. I loved the strafing plane & Sulu finding that police revolver too.
Shirley Bonne as Ruth was just STUNNING!! ❤
Equally lovely was Emily Banks, who played Yeoman Barrows in this episode and was a possible romantic interest for Dr. McCoy. ❤
And Barbara Baldavin was very delicious as Lt. Angela Martine. ❤
All of these alluring women are still alive as of 12-06-2023.
!In the James Blish novel, she was supposed to have died in a shuttle craft accident.
Mr. Spock you haven't told me your first name. You couldn't pronounce it.
That's where this music was reused to a even more dramatic effect.
@@teedup8995 Indeed it was. "This Side of Paradise." One of the most powerful scenes in the whole series.
I love her earrings!!
Best argument for Elon to make love robots. Because you need her back.
Hi Jim! I'm here.😂
"Send me an Angel, Right now" That's what Kirk got. This song sounds like the OST theme. ruclips.net/video/0R6WIbx8ysE/видео.html
Law of attraction!
The way the scene was written and the way The way MR Shatner was acting, trying to be serious but affected by his meeting his old love, and the wonderful music, always makes me cry. Original Star Trek at its finest I cried when I first saw it in the sixties and I still cry now.
I understand it was an old love. My question is was she dead in life.
What I read about Ruth is that she was Kirk's love when he was in Starfleet Academy. He ended up choosing his career over his love with her. She was alive in the universe, which is why Kirk was surprised by her not aging and still looking like she was 20.
