Great, it is almost a perfect Sunday. If only there was a reaction channel that had the old school Battle Star Galactica and/or Buck Rodgers in the 25 Century to watch, then it would be perfect. But who has a channel like that..........? Who would be so daring?
Hi, may I ask a favor please? I think you mentioned Mr. Feeney from Boy Meets World in a recent reaction. (Forgive me if that was not you.). I wonder if you could react to the movie musical 1776 starring a young Mr Feeney and post it on the 4th of July please? It’s such a great movie from the early mid 70s. And thank you for reacting to ToS. As an 11 year old boy in Spock ears, I got to meet Nichelle Nichols and she was as lovely, kind and gracious as you could possibly imagine to this dorky kid asking for her autograph!
Everyone mentions Mark Lenard's role in this episode, which is wonderful, but I think the real inspired casting choice was Jane Wyatt as Spock's mother. Everyone watching this when this first came out would have recognized her as the Mother in the popular TV show "Father Knows Best", a role she won 2 Emmy awards for.
As someone who's been a Trekkie for 50 years, I found it quite impressive that you immediately recognized Mark Lenard from Balance of Terror, and popped the name of the episode out right off the top of your head. You seem to actually be enjoying your foray into ST:TOS unlike some reactors who only do it for views.
It sounds like you do know perfect well why you like the assassin so much. I dare say if you looked up the word "Fiend" in a picture dictionary, you would find a picture of _him_ smiling that evil smile. "😈"
Court, also, in one of the books, I want to say it was called "Spock's World", a news reporter asks Sarek's wife what it is like to be married to "a little green man" (meaning, an alien) and she replies "there is nothing little about my husband." lmao 😂🤣😂
What makes the episode so great is that the plot points at the beginning of the episode come into play later. Sarek being Spock's father will play into the blood transfusion. The fight in the rec room causes people to suspect Sarek of being the murderer. The Assassin attacks Kirk just before Spock is ready for the blood transfusion.
You win the gold star for correctly recognizing Spock's father (portrayed by Mark Lenard) was also the Romulan Commander in the Balance of Terror episode. Fun fact Mark Lenard and Leonard Nimoy both appeared in an episode of the TV series Mission Impossible. After Star Trek ended Nimoy had joined the cast of Mission Imposible in 1969 but left the show after two seasons. Many of the guest stars that appeared on Star Trek often wound up as guest star villains on Mission Impossible. Nimoy was cast as a sleight of hand / Master of disguises type character. Even William Shatner Guest starred twice on MI as gangster ( I think Nimoy had left the show before Shatner appeared) . But Nimoy and Shatner would appear together outside of Star Trek on a show called T.J Hooker albeit one episode.
Also, Shatner and Nimoy appear in an episode of _'Man From U.N.C.L.E.'_ prior to their roles on Star Trek. The title of that episode is 'The Project Strigas Affair'.
Hey, Courtney! "Journey to Babel" is one of Trek's essential episodes. It introduces the other founding species of the United Federation of Planets besides Humans and Vulcans which are the Tellarites and the Andorians. It introduces Spock's parents, Ambassador Sarek and Amanda Grayson. Mark Lenard is Trek royalty. He not only played the Romulan captain in "Balance of Terror" but also played the first modern Klingon in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture". He reprised the role of Sarek in an episode of "Star Trek: The Animated Series", "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock", "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" and two episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation"! It introduces Vulcan PDA which is the touching of fingertips. It features a terrific dilemma for Spock and a trinity of crises to resolve. "Metamorphosis" introduces a key player in future Earth history and Trek lore: the inventor of the faster-than-light warp drive, Zephram Cochrane. It was his test flight that alerted the Vulcans to humanity as a space-faring-capable species which prompted them to make official contact with Earth and guide humans to the stars! Zephram Cochrane is brilliantly played by James Cromwell in the Next Gen movie "Star Trek: First Contact" which is the eighth Star Trek film.
Enjoyed your reaction. My favorite episode particularly for finding out about Spock. Spock's attitude about not relinquishing command was quite understandable to audiences at the time because it was what the culture was very well aware of in the military from WWII and at that time Vietnam.
True story about Leonard Nimoy: I remember this, in part because I was a SERIOUS Trek fan while it was still current. Nobody could get between me and an episode of ST. At that time, biracial kids were comparatively rare, but the story of Mr. Spock's conflicted racial identity made a big impression on pretty much anybody who watched the show, especially a young girl (quite possibly my age, which was 12) who was both black and white, and having a hard time with it. Nimoy was getting so much fan-mail, at this point, that he had to hire his own assistant to help with it, and he didn't usually reply with more than the usual photo and thanks, but this girl's letter hit him pretty hard, and he replied to her. His reply was made public, and it was the kind of classy thing you'd expect from, Nimoy: kind, supportive, sympathetic, really powerful. I think the story got into TVGuide, which I always read, and that's how i know. But it's common knoledge: Nimoy was a mensch of the highest order.
"Journey to Babel" is definitely one of the better episodes. The plotting is good, the pace is good, and we get character revelation. We also get a small feast of alien species, which fans of science fiction normally enjoy.
I'm watching these out of order because I cannot wait for your reaction to Journey to Babel. Like button preemptively pushed! Yes, that was wonderful, this is my top Spock episode. Jane Wyatt nails the role of Spock's mom, and as usual DC Fontana turns in a masterful script.
Yes. Mark Lenard played the Romulan commander in Balance of Terror as well as a Klingon commander in the opening scene of Star Trek The Motion Picture.
Spock is usually the one to say when others are in "error", but I think HE might've been this time by not turning the ship over to Scotty. Our favorite engineer has space battle experience over the years and can handle stressful scenarios. Spock could've saved himself from Amanda's slap! I've always wondered if the Companion and Cochrane had any kids. Such children may have interesting powers..
Two of my most favorite episodes since 1966. Since the last time you could see an episode again (summer reruns) I would record the show on my dads reel-to-reel so I could at least listen to it, while working on my hobbies. Have these memorized. Still have these tapes.
JOURNEY TO BABEL is my favorite episode. Eleanore Donahue ("Commissioner Hedford") and Jayne Wyatt ("Amanda") played daughter and mother in the 1950s sitcom FATHER KNOWS BEST.
You are well rounded and you clearly understood these episodes,BRAVO, I on the other hand did not until you stated what was going to be the conclusion. I watch these reactions on RUclips and you are the only one who come closer to everyone else.
Interesting. My take on the episode is that it's a love story between two people who are not members of the crew. Kirk, Spock and McCoy are merely observers to events of the story. Kirk gets to make his speech and feel like he's doing something but ultimately it was all just between Cochrane, the Companion and the commissioner. It's not a bad episode, it's just an unusual one that doesn't follow the normal conventions. The look of the episode, the set, the planet-scape, the colors, it's all very interesting.
Of course, nobody knew when they made "Balance of Terror" that Mark Lenard would be back as Sarek. As is, it creates a big head scratcher moment in canon. Spock made no mention of the Romulan commander looking and sounding exactly like his dad. Yet in "The Corbomite Maneuver," he looks at the Balok puppet head and tells everyone that it reminds him of his father. "May heaven help your mother," said Scott.😅
"Not all Vulcans look alike." LOL 😅 Great catch by you that actor Mark Leonard first played the pointy eared Romulan in Balance Of Terror before being cast as the pointy eared Vulcan Sarek
Journey to Babel is a wonderful episode - Nimoy, Lenard and Jane Wyatt combine to make a perfect examination of this alien family's dynamics. Most series at the time would have glossed over this in broad strokes and concentrated on the action - Trek was unique in that it took the time, here and in other episodes, to craft a whole culture for Vulcans. Wonderful.
Court, have you watched the episode about Apollo called "Adonis"? There is an interesting sequel to the story played by the same actor (Apollo) 40 years later, on the first episode of "Star Trek: Continues". There were only 12 episodes of this brilliant fan-made show on RUclips. They were so damn good, and nobody ever reacts to it. Will you be the first Star Trek reactor to do it and 'Boldly Go Where No Reactor Has Gone Before'?
Great reactions today! If you ever want to see a heartwarming & heartbreaking follow up to Journey to Babel, I highly recommend the animated series episode Yesteryear. It is both a sequel & prequel to Journey to Babel and Mark Lenard also appears in the episode as Sarek. As always, I eagerly look forward to your future reactions! ❤
I truly enjoy your _STAR TREK_ reactions. Not many reactors react to it, but what's more, your discussions during and after the episodes are interesting and even fun. *EDIT:* Great catch with Mark Leonard!
A great reaction and understandably difficult to understand some motivations. One of my very favorite episodes since it reveals so much about Spock. Spock's attitude about not relinquishing command would have been quite familiar to audiences at the time whose fathers would have been in the military in WWII and particularly coming as it did during the Vietnam War. The way he behaved was military chain of command requardless of his ethnic background.😂
You sure look cute in that purple jacket 😍😍 Isn't metamorphosis a weird one? They never really address if the Ambassador is ok with this alien taking over her body and her having to live with that for possibly a couple centuries or more... 😲 Sarek is shown in several other episodes of Star Trek, and in The Next Generation as well! I don't think they ever say exactly how long Vulcans live, but it's hundreds of years. The prequel series "Enterprise" which was shown on the UPN/CW network in early 2000s, and takes place before The Original Series, gets into the Andorians (the blue guys with antennas) a lot more. I don't recall them being mentioned in TNG but I could be wrong on that 🙂 Glad you're still continuing Star Trek, and you're still beautiful 🙂
20:25 yummy yummy playdough Courtney a while ago you were contemplating skipping season 2 and jumping straight into the movies, I urged you not to. That's because journey to Babel is one of those episodes that is fairly essential for understanding Spock's character. There are several more and I'm glad you're going to watch further episodes before doing the movies. 🖖🏼
Part-2, I know Spock is your favorite character in the series and that is great. One of the lessons from Star Trek is that logic alone does not solve problems.
28:09 "I understand all sides. However, I- I- I'm not on Mr. Spock's _side,_ with this one." Yeah. Neither am I. There is _no_ reason Mr. Scott can't take command. Every Starfleet vessel is behooved to keep its upper ranks filled with redundant, qualified officers, ready to take command in the event it's needed, whatever the circumstances. You don't want a Starship unable to function just because the CO and XO were both rendered inert. You dare not have a chain of command with only two links.
Maybe you can consider this, my father picked up on this when he first saw this episode: Sarek never married his "betrothed" for one reason on or another. He still got "hot & bothered" when his Ponn Far time hit. At that time, he met Amanda and she got pregnant without being married. Therefore it was logical to marry the mother of his child and avoid embarrassment to him and his family. What do you think?
"Journey to Babel" is one of my favorite episodes. While I do appreciate the updated look of the CGI shuttlecraft as it approaches the Enterprise, overall, I prefer the original practical effects... especially the phaser fire from the Enterprise. If memory serves, this was the first episode to show the new effect for the Enterprise firing phasers, and it is one of the best effects of the entire series, used though out the rest of the series when it fires phasers. ruclips.net/video/K8FnIjzGCVY/видео.html
But remember, Sarek wasn't just Spock's father. He was also an important diplomatic official. Had another Vulcan diplomat besides Sarek gone on instead, and needed such an operation, would Spock still have denied to help him?
Excellent reaction yes Spock‘s dad is a Vulcan ambassador and the expert on humans for the welcome people being that his grandfather was the Vulcan who first made contact with humans so his family has been talking to humans and through every so it’s quite logical the Vulcan, ambassador to the humans would marry one one of the Federation‘s best ambassadors And volcano is one of the key members of the Federation the Volcons Tellarights AKA the pig people the end Dorian those are the races of the federation key members and the galaxy’s mob that’s Orion syndicate most known for their Orion, sex slaves female. The males can be slaves to the females and they’re all pirates that’s how they. The make money and gambling too and drugs they live outside the Federation. They have been been trying to get them to be members and to be not criminals anymore for a long time they don’t war they’re just a problem they’re actually a buffer between the Klingons Roulin and Federation thanks for the fun until next time.
Fun fact: Mark Lenard was gay. At a Star Trek convention back in the 70's, he was looking over some merch at a booth when he came across a slash 'zine with a drawing of a chained, half-naked Spock on the cover. Lenard then sighed and murmured, "Oh, my son, my son." 🤣
How is everyone doing on this lovely Sunday?!
Great, it is almost a perfect Sunday. If only there was a reaction channel that had the old school Battle Star Galactica and/or Buck Rodgers in the 25 Century to watch, then it would be perfect. But who has a channel like that..........? Who would be so daring?
pig people indeed....i think fancy having a sunday roast pig after this
Wind gusts up to 60 m.p.h. but it is bright & sunny and the temperature is in the mid-forties. So, overall, a good day.
How is your Sunday going?
Hi, may I ask a favor please? I think you mentioned Mr. Feeney from Boy Meets World in a recent reaction. (Forgive me if that was not you.). I wonder if you could react to the movie musical 1776 starring a young Mr Feeney and post it on the 4th of July please? It’s such a great movie from the early mid 70s.

@@RLucas3000 I second your request for her to see _'1776'_ as that is an excellent movie.
Everyone mentions Mark Lenard's role in this episode, which is wonderful, but I think the real inspired casting choice was Jane Wyatt as Spock's mother. Everyone watching this when this first came out would have recognized her as the Mother in the popular TV show "Father Knows Best", a role she won 2 Emmy awards for.

Mark Lenord was a Shakespearean actor. Did you notice how it came through in both of his episodes?
I've seen him in a few other shows like mission impossible and here comes the brides he always exudes gravitas
Excellent way to describe him. That man was the embodiment of gravitas.
I don't know why but I like the smarmy assassin. He's so damn smug and has that evil smile.
"Speculation Captain!"
Yeah, the Andorians in this episode rock. I didnt like how they changed their look in Enterprise.
It sounds like you do know perfect well why you like the assassin so much.
I dare say if you looked up the word "Fiend" in a picture dictionary, you would find a picture of _him_ smiling that evil smile. "😈"
Court, also, in one of the books, I want to say it was called "Spock's World", a news reporter asks Sarek's wife what it is like to be married to "a little green man" (meaning, an alien) and she replies "there is nothing little about my husband." lmao 😂🤣😂
This was the security team's time to shine. Not only did they find the body. They also prevented the assassin from escaping.
Great point! There's a lot cool of things that happen in this episode. It's probably the single biggest world building episode in the entire series
What makes the episode so great is that the plot points at the beginning of the episode come into play later. Sarek being Spock's father will play into the blood transfusion. The fight in the rec room causes people to suspect Sarek of being the murderer. The Assassin attacks Kirk just before Spock is ready for the blood transfusion.

Hooker before he and William Shatner appeared
together on their episode.
McCoy's final line in "Babel" is one of my favorite moments in all of Trek. He's the best!
Hey, Courtney!
"Journey to Babel" is one of Trek's essential episodes.
It introduces the other founding species of the United Federation of Planets besides Humans and Vulcans which are the Tellarites and the Andorians.

The commissioner came out a winner to...she finally found out what it's like to be loved.
Enjoyed your reaction. My favorite episode particularly for finding out about Spock.
Spock's attitude about not relinquishing command was quite understandable to audiences at the time because it was what the culture was very well aware of in the military from WWII and at that time Vietnam.
Delighted that you could review “Metamorphosis” with us. It was a beautiful story!
True story about Leonard Nimoy:

I think the story got into TVGuide, which I always read, and that's how i know. But it's common knoledge: Nimoy was a mensch of the highest order.
I love the bit where the companion
stares through the dress it's one of the best STAR TREK scenes and yet so simple
"Journey to Babel" is definitely one of the better episodes. The plotting is good, the pace is good, and we get character revelation. We also get a small feast of alien species, which fans of science fiction normally enjoy.
Hello my name is Michael and I enjoy watching Star Trek with you it's nice❤❤😂😂
I'm watching these out of order because I cannot wait for your reaction to Journey to Babel. Like button preemptively pushed!
Yes, that was wonderful, this is my top Spock episode. Jane Wyatt nails the role of Spock's mom, and as usual DC Fontana turns in a masterful script.
12:27 "Wait a second. Did I get this right?"
Total shot in the dark and you hit your mark.
Yes. Mark Lenard played the Romulan commander in Balance of Terror as well as a Klingon commander in the opening scene of Star Trek The Motion Picture.
"Journey to Babel" explains a lot about Mr. Spock.
Spock is usually the one to say when others are in "error", but I think HE might've been this time by not turning the ship over to Scotty. Our favorite engineer has space battle experience over the years and can handle stressful scenarios. Spock could've saved himself from Amanda's slap!
I've always wondered if the Companion and Cochrane had any kids. Such children may have interesting powers..
I would think Sulu would be a better officer in a militarily tactical situation like this one.
But, was he even in this episode? 🤔
Two of my most favorite episodes since 1966. Since the last time you could see an episode again (summer reruns) I would record the show on my dads reel-to-reel so I could at least listen to it, while working on my hobbies. Have these memorized. Still have these tapes.
31:59 Thelev: "You're _bating_ him."
Sun Tzu: "All of warfare is based on deception."
Journey to Babel is a Top 5 TOS episode. So good!
26:25 The Tantalus field control panel! I wonder if Bones was zapping people with it after having a drop of the true.
JOURNEY TO BABEL is my favorite episode. Eleanore Donahue ("Commissioner Hedford") and Jayne Wyatt ("Amanda") played daughter and mother in the 1950s sitcom FATHER KNOWS BEST.
Babel is my third favorite, after Amok Time and Mirror Mirror. Gene L Coon and Dorothy Fontana are the unsung heroes of Star Trek.
Spock is totally correct in reasoning considering the circumstances. His duty outweighs his personal problem
Is it personal?
Spock was also saving a high diplomatic official.
Most of the guest actors in each episode is either famous, or went on the widespread fame.😊
Yes Mark Lenard was in the episode Ballance of Terror and he was in Star Trek:The Motion Picture as a Klingon commander.
You are well rounded and you clearly understood these episodes,BRAVO, I on the other hand did not until you stated what was going to be the conclusion. I watch these reactions on RUclips and you are the only one who come closer to everyone else.
I say this with no reservation or caveat, Metamorphosis is my favorite episode.
Interesting. My take on the episode is that it's a love story between two people who are not members of the crew. Kirk, Spock and McCoy are merely observers to events of the story. Kirk gets to make his speech and feel like he's doing something but ultimately it was all just between Cochrane, the Companion and the commissioner.
It's not a bad episode, it's just an unusual one that doesn't follow the normal conventions. The look of the episode, the set, the planet-scape, the colors, it's all very interesting.

Babel is my fav of these 2, however Metamorphosis I Iike a lot, with Glenn Corbett & Elinor Donahue. Great reactions Courtney. 🙂

It is both a sequel & prequel to Journey to Babel and Mark Lenard also appears in the episode as Sarek. As always, I eagerly look forward to your future reactions! ❤
Great call predicting the plot twist! You're definitely a Trekkie!
I truly enjoy your _STAR TREK_ reactions. Not many reactors react to it, but what's more, your discussions during and after the episodes are interesting and even fun.

There are several more and I'm glad you're going to watch further episodes before doing the movies. 🖖🏼
lol and quite accurate " the pig people"
I love Metamorphosis. It's a beautiful and underrated love story. And Journey to Babel is easily one of my top 10 episodes.
Part-2, I know Spock is your favorite character in the series and that is great. One of the lessons from Star Trek is that logic alone does not solve problems.
28:09 "I understand all sides. However, I- I- I'm not on Mr. Spock's _side,_ with this one."
Yeah. Neither am I. There is _no_ reason Mr. Scott can't take command. Every Starfleet vessel is behooved to keep its upper ranks filled with redundant, qualified officers, ready to take command in the event it's needed, whatever the circumstances. You don't want a Starship unable to function just because the CO and XO were both rendered inert. You dare not have a chain of command with only two links.
The abysmal CGI didn’t even bother to match the live action shuttle like the original model
Perhaps you should offer your expert services to remaster it properly.
Maybe you can consider this, my father picked up on this when he first saw this episode: Sarek never married his "betrothed" for one reason on or another. He still got "hot & bothered" when his Ponn Far time hit. At that time, he met Amanda and she got pregnant without being married. Therefore it was logical to marry the mother of his child and avoid embarrassment to him and his family. What do you think?
"A TEDDY BEAR?! 😃😃😃"
"Journey to Babel" is one of my favorite episodes. While I do appreciate the updated look of the CGI shuttlecraft as it approaches the Enterprise, overall, I prefer the original practical effects... especially the phaser fire from the Enterprise. If memory serves, this was the first episode to show the new effect for the Enterprise firing phasers, and it is one of the best effects of the entire series, used though out the rest of the series when it fires phasers. ruclips.net/video/K8FnIjzGCVY/видео.html
It really was a great ethical conundrum. Save your fathers life and risk mass murder and in terplanetary war.
But remember, Sarek wasn't just Spock's father. He was also an important diplomatic official.
Had another Vulcan diplomat besides Sarek gone on instead, and needed such an operation, would Spock still have denied to help him?
This woman should be an engineer. Figures $hit out very quickly.
Excellent reaction yes Spock‘s dad is a Vulcan ambassador and the expert on humans for the welcome people being that his grandfather was the Vulcan who first made contact with humans so his family has been talking to humans and through every so it’s quite logical the Vulcan, ambassador to the humans would marry one one of the Federation‘s best ambassadors And volcano is one of the key members of the Federation the Volcons Tellarights AKA the pig people the end Dorian those are the races of the federation key members and the galaxy’s mob that’s Orion syndicate most known for their Orion, sex slaves female. The males can be slaves to the females and they’re all pirates that’s how they. The make money and gambling too and drugs they live outside the Federation. They have been been trying to get them to be members and to be not criminals anymore for a long time they don’t war they’re just a problem they’re actually a buffer between the Klingons Roulin and Federation thanks for the fun until next time.
Fun fact: Mark Lenard was gay. At a Star Trek convention back in the 70's, he was looking over some merch at a booth when he came across a slash 'zine with a drawing of a chained, half-naked Spock on the cover. Lenard then sighed and murmured, "Oh, my son, my son." 🤣
Hardly. Your assumption doesn't fit with his wife and 2 daughters.
"I'm gonna call them the pig people" love it...
AND I am gonna call you one of my favorite trek nerds....
