Luckily, none of them thought of the Staypuft Marshmallow Man. 😂
In one of his books, William Shatner claims he tried to convince Gene Rodenberry that it would be good if Kirk got to wrestle the tiger. He says they were walking as they discussed it and Rodenberry, knowing what he was doing, lead Shatner past the tiger cage during feeding time. He said, after he saw the tiger tearing into a big piece of meat, he changed his mind.
"Well there's something you don't see everyday."
😂😂😂😂
That was my very first thought. "It's the Staypuft Marshmallow Man."
Or the old Giant pitcher of talking Kool Aid from those old 70's and 80's commercials. 😏
"Hey kids want some Kool Aid?!" you say no and he starts chasing you with a knife!😁
Emily Banks, one of the prettiest yeoman of the series. (Dr. McCoy certified!)
Agreed!
Barrows > Rand
This was the 1 Star Trek she played in. She was a beauty pageant contestant and landed the gig for one show. I saw this for the first time in 2010. I was disappointed when I found out she was not in any more shows.
She passed away on September 17, 2023 at the age of 90. Rest in peace, Emily.
Absolutely hilarious to watch someone named, "bunnytails" react to a TV episode which has a bunny rabbit in it. Priceless!
My first thought when I saw the episode title.
Bunny reacts to Bones reacting to a bunny.
This is the circle of life.
Saying this like this… is why you guys never had any friends. 😂😂
Nice that a near 60 year show can still impress with its originality.
Wagon train to the Stars.
One of the best episodes of original Star Trek.
16:05 The Vasquez Rocks pop up a lot in this show as a filming location, being one of the most alien-looking landforms close to Hollywood. People still call that particular peak in the park "Kirk's Rock". It has its own TVtropes article because it has so many appearances in movies and shows.
Love that many episodes of Star Trek TOS were written by sci fi writers from that golden age. Theodore Sturgeon wrote this one.
This is the first of a handful of light hearted episodes. I love all of them.
Yes. Star Trek had a knack for having light-hearted episodes follow the very deep, somber ones.
@@hanoc101 Balance of Terror....followed up by Shore Leave. That girl had just lost her fiance, and was back in the game again -only to get shot down by her new boyfriend's fantasy WW 2 airplane...whew!
Fun episode, fun reaction. You're right on target about Yeoman Rand, though Barrows was gorgeous.
Great reactions, as always, Bunny.
And I agree about missing Yeoman Janice Rand.
It's a shame what happened to Grace Lee Whitney.
Thanks!
One of two OST episodes written by SF legend Theodore Sturgeon. The other was "Amok Time".
'Wabbit twacks. I'm hunting him with a phaser. Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah..."
"Shhh. We have to be vewy vewy quiet."
Unlike the TV show Fantasy Island that came years later, this is more like Fantasy Planet but at a faster reactive pace. Fun episode.
Leonard Nimoy included the actor who played Janice in the 3 Star Trek movies he was involved in producing and directing. 3, 4 and 6.
The episodes were written by well known science fiction writers. Very creative people. Due to the prejudice against women being capable of writing however you will find the name D.C. Fontana on a few of the most famous episodes particularly those focused on Spock. She was very good.
Don't forget the episode of Voyager she was in.
I've heard Nimoy forced producers to cast her in ST:1 TMP too. She was the transporter beam operator when it malfunctioned.
The actress playing Angela, who runs smack into the tree, is the same one who played Angela in the episode "Balance of Terror." She was the one who was going to get married but for the fact that her husband-to-be is killed in the Romulan attack. Nice to see that she got over that.
In my personal head canon she is indeed the same character, though she seems to have gotten over the loss of Tomlinson rather quickly. In real life the actress was married to Joe d’Agosta, Trek’s casting director. She also appears in the final TOS episode “Turnabout Intruder,” though the character is unnamed and wearing a red uniform this time.
Didn't now that ! LOL
When I first saw that scene,Angela didn't smack into the tree,she was shot by that plane,then fell to the ground severely injured,then her fellow crew mate holds her in his arms crying out her name gently.
She moved on fast!
I just watched Turnabout Intruder. Her character is named ... Lt. Lisa (odd last name).
Actress Barbara Baldavin who played Angela just passed away on March 31, 2024 at the age of 85.
"Don't think about dangerous things!" The Ghostbusters fully agree....
And thus the elusive ATTACK TRIBBLE was born.
What's so dangerous about an adorable confectionery company mascot?
@@cyberingcatgirls7069 ….It could have been worse. The Destroyer could have been a giant Bert & Ernie or Bugs Bunny….
Ruth's Theme is a melody every Star Trek fan would recognize if we heard it anywhere. This show had by far the best incidental music of any TV show, and this episode has several examples, of which Ruth's Theme is the most beautiful.
Finnigan's Theme as well.
Agreed. The incidental music from TOS lives rent-free in my head
My, you have sensational taste and very, very accurate
One of my favorite episodes. Written by one of the greatest science fiction writers of the 20th century: Theodore Sturgeon.
One of the few TOS episodes to be filmed on location, not a set. William Shatner does more running in this episode than the entire rest of the series and all the movies.
Shatner’s “Tom Cruise moment?”
I think I recognized Vasquez Rocks (the site of the Gorn fight), when Kirk was fighting Finnegan. I assume the meadow scenes were filmed somewhere else?
@@JJ_W those scenes were filmed at Africa USA, an animal theme park.
I agree with you. And the great Sturgeon returns for the superb "Amok Time." But it's not quite fair to say this was one of the "few" TOS episodes filmed on location. You've got "Arena," "This Side of Paradise," the dreadful "Alternative Factor," "A Private Little War," "Operation: Annihilate," "Friday's Child," "Paradise Syndrome," "Bread and Circuses," and others. Of course, by the third season they barely could afford to do it.
You must have been thinking of a beautiful dress,and their it was bunny 😊
"Follow the rabbit. I'll backtrack the girl." Typical Jim Kirk. 🤣
William Ware Thiess was the costume designer. He usually designed very beautiful outfits for actresses, but he enjoyed them showing a lot of skin. As Shatner pointed out very beautiful, and very chilly actresses. :)
Just so you know Janice did appear in the movies with upgrades in rank
Yup, 1, 3, and 6.
@@ecthelion1735 And the actress was in 4, but it was likely a different role.
@@johnmackendrick5173 Ah, I think that could apply to III as well. I and VI were definitely as Rand, though.
Good episode with another yummy guest actress. One of the many things I love about Trek & Gene Roddenberry's legendary womanizing.
I really liked her. Wish they would of kept using her.
Gad you liked it, certainly one of my favourites , however I had never considered what if the Yeoman Rand character had still been in place instead of Barrows for this episode. Yeoman Rand did have a certain quality and I was lucky to get a selfie with her, many years ago, long before we knew the word selfie, when she came to a Star Trek convention in England
We saw an actor in a bunny suit. And two actresses in bunny garb. I think we should see Bunnytail in a bunny costume.
For completeness, you understand.
Yeoman Tonia Barrows was the hottest yeoman ever! 😍
The girl that lost her fiancee, in balance of terror is in this and she has already moved on! 😂
Yeoman Rand has a few small cameos if you pay attention. She's in Star Trek: The Motion Picture and in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. She's also in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager when Tuvok was remembering his days serving on the Excelsior with Captain Sulu and Commander Rand. -OG
I see so many young women raving about dresses and outfits from the 60s, 70s and 80s. But I rarely see them wearing something resembling that era. Seems odd to me. Just go for it! Make a statement! Nice episode. But not my top ten. The resolution at the end was too rushed.
This was such a fun episode... love it. Great reaction bunny. More to come.
"Someone's trying to beam down from the bridge." I beg your pardon, Sulu, what?
LOL. Didn't even notice
I have to agree. They should have kept Rand. She would have been great in this one.
I wonder if this episode inspired that scene in the 1984 Ghostbusters movie when Gozer said "Choose the form of the destructor!" and Dan Aykroyd accidentally thought of Stay Puft Marshmallow man who magically appeared
The beautiful music score in this episode was composed by Gerald Fried, who composed music for such diverse television series such as Mission: Impossible, The Man From UNCLE, Gilligan's Island, and Roots. He also composed the music for director Stanley Kubrick's first few films. ❤️
Oh cool !
Mr. Fried unfortunately passed away earlier this year at the age of 95 on February 17th. Loved his musical scores on Star Trek and all the other stuff he did in his lifetime.
Lovely reaction, as usual! This episode was written by Theodore Sturgeon, probably the best SFF short-story writer of his generation. Finnegan is, hands-down, my favorite part of this one; not only is he a memory, he is the spirit of youth, of yearning. Over and over he tells Kirk to remember his old days, not to forget who he once was. It’s beautiful and terrible.
As a ten year old, I was around to watch Star Trek during its first run. I remember being very disappointed when Janice Rand disappeared from the show. I am glad you appreciate her as I did, Bunny (Bunnytails?) !!
Great reaction. Classic Kirk fight with Finnegan (who gets his own musical score), some awesome production camera work and flying kicks.
Finnegan jumped over that bolder like Super Mario!
One of the few fights where people actually get beat up.
What a treat! Two in a row...made my day. Really made my day when Kirk took care of Finnegan, who irritated the heck out of me. Having McCoy get impaled by the knight really added some drama to ground the episode a bit from the lighthearted goings on. Fun episode! :)
If you have been in outer space for 6 months straight, with no trees, sand, grass, mountains, lakes, fresh air, open spaces, breeze, rain etc., I think that most people would be really happy to go a simple beautiful environment.
Good point!
@@bunnytailsREACTS I like that you are getting into a show that I grew up watching the 80s. They have been showing re runs since the 1970s. People still love it. Try Watching the Doomsday Machine next. Arena is probably my number 2 episode.
I personally love this episode, as it shows that James Kirk isn't flawless. He was a victim of bulling in the academy, and it stuck with him, haunting him even into his adulthood. This is one of those episodes that really shows us Captain Kirks character. It's excellent. Thanks for this. Cheers eh :)
If i had been down on that planet and someone had explained to me how it all works there would be only one thing that would just pop into my mind.
... It's the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
😱
One of the better episodes of the original Star Trek. There's an episode of the sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf with a similar premise (Better Than Life), where the crew knows beforehand that their imagination will become reality, but they still manage to get into trouble.
Good reaction!!!! Was wondering when you would get to this awesome episode. Anyway, IF you have not already seen the movie "Galaxy Quest" you need to give it a look now that you have plenty of "Star Trek" episodes under your belt.
Thanks! You're right, I need to watch that and Forbidden Planet. Ahhh!
Note that this episode was written by the SF author, Theodore Sturgeon. He would also pen the Season 2 premiere episode, Amok Time, which is one of the best and much beloved Trek stories ever written.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898) was a mathematics don at Christ Church College, Oxford. He also wrote poems and stories, under the pen name of Lewis Carroll. He came up with a very strange story which he told to his young friend Alice Liddell. She begged him to write it down. "Alice's Adventures Underground" became "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland", published in 1865.
The first use of the "he's dead, but not really" plot device.
Consider that the crew has been on missions some lasting weeks/months with their only breaks on ship. Remember also this is before the introduction of holodeck technology, so all they have is the gymnasium and the recreation room both we have seen in other episodes. Also remember that on this ship are 430 crew of which only 43 are officers and only officers get their own rooms all other crews have to share bunk space. Just being able to stretch their legs on this planet would be welcomed. Also if their are no animals their is no danger of a crewmen getting hurt and possibly dying from an attack. Shore leave planet idea is very similar to a later tv show in the late 70's called "fantasy island" both had Ricardo Montablan. In Star Trek he played Khan but in Fantasy Island he played Mr Rourke. Fun fact it was write after Fantasy Island had been cancelled after I believe 7 seasons that he was hired to play Khan in Star Trek II. The caretaker and the amusement park were designed for aliens who had understanding of what to expect where the Entrprise crew did not and it took the caretaker until the end of the episode before he realized this. Most of the ideas are actually quite simple what makes them unique is the spin that is included to fit it in Star Trek. The writers pulled from their own experiences and remember what we today think of as amusement parks with rides and such is not the only meaning especially in the 1960's. So while we today would not think of it as an amusement park in the 1960's it fit the very concept of what one was.
The fight between Kirk and Finnegan is said to have held the record for the longest two-man fight on American television for many years. The two sequences together take more than six minutes, more than ten percent of the episode.
I have always loved this episode, especially 1) Spock's delightful manipulation of Kirk;
2) the funny banter between Kirk and McCoy; 3).Kirk's reaction, when he sees Ruth, going from capable, businesslike, competent Captain, to a 19 or 20 year old with his girl, in seconds, then, back again; 3).When McCoy returns, alive, with the 2 showgirls!!
I liked the episode of TNG where Crusher tried the same tactic on Picard, but Picard was too genre savvy, he wasn't fooled for a second. Nevertheless, he accepted the doctor's prescription without resistance.
Good thing they didn't think of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from "Ghostbusters". 😂
They really missed an opportunity to have Sulu fence with Don Juan.
Two Star Trek reaction in as many days? What did we do to deserve this?
Someone should keep track of all the times you say "I want that dress!"
Just don't make it a drinking game!
Loved your little chair dance. Great reaction.
Thanks!
That's the "playful music" that your're hearing.
💙💙😎😎💙💙
"I want that dress!" 😂😅
I have been waiting, for WEEKS, for you to reach this episode…and to be confronted with your archnemesis, the bunny who was waiting to meet you!
Seriously, this has always been one of my low-key faves. Glad you liked it.
Fan Fact: Did you notice that the "Angela" in this episode is the same "Angela Martine" from "Balance of Terror" who was going to marry Tomlinson who died in that episode. This episode, "Shore Leave", was the VERY NEXT episode! Angela is seen in this episode romantically linked to Esteban Rodriguez!! I guess she really meant it when she said to Kirk at the end of "Balance of Terror" ... "I'm alright." Yikes!!
I told you Bones was a player.
And a gentleman.....
😆
You are so right about Yeoman Janice Rand. The show does many great things but really dropped the ball on that one. Love your Star Trek reactions!
Another really entertaining episode. Can't wait for you to do "Mirror Mirror" and "City on the Edge of Forever".
I love how Spock is supposed to be cold and emotionless, but every once in a while we get a joke and a little knowing smirk from him! :P
Also, BunnyTails, you should totally cosplay some classic Star Trek ladies! There are tons of amazing options but I'd say #1 is Andrea from "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"! ;) XD
Also, the fight scenes from classic Star Trek always crack me up!!!! XD Just wait 'till you see the episode "Arena"!! :P
I wonder if this was the inspiration for West World, Michael Crichtons novel turned into a film in the early 70's and the series made in the 2015? .
Most of this episode was shot at the Africa USA compound on Soledad Canyon Road, a few miles from the Vasquez Rocks. There was a massive mudslide in Soledad Canyon a few years later, after which Africa USA moved out. I am amazed that they were able to produce things as quickly as they did with all the location shooting which was often involved.
Something sour... like Finnegan!!
The actor who played Finnegan was annoyingly very energetic and a pretty good fighter. Boy,did he run-EVERYWHERE !!!! Yet still had the energy to bounce Kirk all over the place. LOL. Good job by the stunt men also. LOVED the light tone and outrageous situations the crew found themselves in.
The noted Theodore Sturgeon wrote this one. He was trying for a lighter touch. I dunno. I guess I like the heavier stuff.
"Why can't she think about him being nice?" Yeah. If Yeoman Barrows likes it rough (and I'm not one to kink shame) she should have imagined herself a safe word.
Nice reaction - is this the first episode where we finally encounter a space bunny? Maybe the most famous sci fi that explores this scenario is Solaris (I mean it explores desires manifesting, not space bunnies lol) - Stanislav Lem's original novel came out in 1961, but the best-known adap is Tarkovsky's 1972 film, a response in some ways to 2001, and also cited as one of the finest sci fi films - Soderbergh did another excellent version in 2002, less well-known, w George Clooney - the work looks at the fragility of sanity in the face of wish-fulfillment
- Tarkovsky's film is spiritual, looking at our disconnect from nature and its impact on our sense of reality, and Soderbergh's is emotional, looking at the powerful undertow of grief and loss on our sense of balance - in the words of Lawrence Durrell, "reason is feeble"
- this Star Trek episode is fun, but it's unusual, in light of what we've seen, in its lack of concern re the philosophical underpinnings of the scenarios it sets up - my impression is that the episode itself was maybe a kind of shore leave for the show runners - they just kicked back and looked for some ways to have fun w the show and its characters - nice to see moments that show us other sides of these familiar characters, but nothing that we really see explored anywhere else
- again, this pastoral entry feels most of all like some kind of palate-cleanser - especially following the unusually grim and horrific elements we encountered in the previous Menagerie outing - and I have to say I did feel relieved and grateful for this shift into levity - this variety of moods gives a cumulative richness to the series
Yeah-us! An overall fun and imaginative episode. Love it. Trek was always good at injecting light-heartedness into the seasons. Break-up the monotony of a string of serious episodes.
I would defiantly think about the stay puft marshmallow man
Bunny, would you have hung out with the White Rabbit-??? You could have worn “that dress”. 😉
Definitely!
This is a nice, lighthearted episode, but one thing that has bothered me about it is that I really think Captain Kirk should have recognized the potential danger much more quickly and transported everybody back on the ship until they were able to figure out what was going on. I suppose we might have to attribute that to his being fatigued and not operating at peak proficiency. Thank God McCoy ended up being okay.
The Enterprise stumbled upon this planet and didn't know it was owned/used by some other race and specially formatted in the way we saw. Love this classic episode and remember first seeing it in 1976, when my father dragged me away from it to go shopping on a Saturday morning in downtown Montreal. Had to wait years to see it again. "The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play" is a classic line.
Really ?... Saturday at noon everything STOPPED in our house so me and Dad and eventually my little brother could watch Star Trek lol.
This is the episode i was watching when the TV picture went out and i had to LISTEN to the rest. The black and white TV went to the shop and fixed before the next episode. I never missed an episode, but it's better when you can see what's happening.
Oh god!
Well, I think you have new cosplay idea. You're gong to have to copy that dress! They never really replace the role of Rand - instead they do like this episode and put in "one shot" characters.
I’m pretty sure this episode was my first exposure to Star Trek, maybe six months before the first movie came out. I was three years old, and hooked.
This is a ridiculous episode. I wouldn’t put it on my list of essentials, but that’s why this channel is great: we get to see all of episodes, so we don’t have to pick and choose!
Ah., we're here already, Shore Leave.
In this episode we have Captain Kirk manifesting a guy he knew at the Academy, named Finnegan, with whom there is a mutual loathing. In Court Martial Captain Kirk has a adversarial relationship with a man he knew from the Academy named Finney. Now, I'm not 100% certain but, like I'm 98% that this was intended to be the same character, but doing so was vetoed by Bob Justman on the tenuous basis that it would be confusing to viewers. Which is interesting, only, because it's one of the cracks that show how much work was being put in to the groundwork, the writer's bible had extensive background details on the main characters, the nature of the Federation and the galaxy at large, the technology, all that jazz. Now, this is how you do it normally, but it was over the top for the sixties, and yet is the reason why this show is so consistent.
The costume department is, broadly speaking, just William Ware-Theiss. Which is a great name for a costumer given it's only a typo away from Wear-This.
Yeoman Barrows was meant to be Rand, but, you know, that whole galaxy spanning monster thing.
She's wearing red, which is one of the reasons I get irked when people get fusty about the uniform colours. In TNG who wears what is well defined, but in TOS, it's much looser. With McGivers in Space Seed, TOS red is security, engineering, but also yeomanry and history. Blue is sciences, medical. Gold is command but also navigation, weapons, essentially misc.
This is the best episode for showing just how much game Bones has, he starts off wooing Barrows and ends up with a pair of Vegas showgirls, and doesn't think anything of it.
The thing about Shore Leave is - just as with the robot world, this planet is never mentioned again, and yet, it OUGHT to be an absolutely critical asset for the Federation, even just as the default holiday planet, but, anything you can think of they replicate in seconds, that's a hell of a thing. Need a new starship? Bazoinkies. Need to fight a war? Bazinkies, a whole army of terminators. Never mentioned again. Could be that there are hard limits, but they never mention any such thing.
They do gain a vacation world in TNG, but that kinda sucks as it's a pretty juvenile idea of paradise; it's Tahiti-world populated by supermodels who consider it rude to not bazoinkie anyone who asks. A premise they used more than once in TNG. Writers are lonely people.
Common Strek burblings agrees that Ruth ought to have been Carol Marcus, or rather Carol Marcus ought to have been Ruth, simply because it adds some more pathos to Wrath of Khan. Which is fine, I tend to agree.
The idea of a world where anything can happen, based on the minds of the occupants, and guided by a single individual mind, is so good it has been used by several other sci fi shows, including Stargate and is essentially the premise of Fantasy Island, which stars Ricardo Montalban of Wrath of Khan and Herve Villechaise who was much shorter but who also shared a love of rich Corinthian leather and probably grey poupon.
I have no scriptgag for Shore Leave, that's odd...
"Who comes up with these ideas" In this case, Theodore Sturgeon & Gene Roddenberry. Theodore Sturgeon was one of a number of science fiction writers who wrote for Star Trek. It's said that the "Golden Age" of science fiction was from 1938-1946, but the 1960's is when it was maturing. A lot of sci-fi ideas originated around that time, and they have been recycled ever since, with varying degrees of success. That's why many who have seen more recent sci-fi tv shows and movies find the older stuff predictable, but it was the older ones that had the ideas first.
Love your little Irish dance! 😆
Great reaction! FYI, Theodore Sturgeon didn't just write "Shore Leave" and "Amok Time," he was (and remains) one of the best sci-fi/fantasy/horror writers of his generation, very thoughtful, with beautiful prose and ideas ahead of his time -- woke before wokeness (kind of the anti-Harlan Ellison... though I love a lot of his work, too). My (half-completed) Sturgeon journey began with "E Pluribus Unicorn," a great short story collection, including some of my personal favorites: "The World Well Lost," "Fluffy," "Scars," "Die, Maestro, Die!" and "The Professor's Teddy Bear."
I met Sturgeon at a talk he gave with Gene Roddenberry at Roddenberry’s alma mater Franklin High School in 1974. There was already lots of buzz about a Trek revival even then, and Ted made it clear that if Gene came-a-calling he’d be more than happy to sign on again. Shame it never happened.
@@michaelhall2709-- That's awesome! I imagine he had quite a presence. What a shame the mid-seventies revival never happened! A 1975-76 (pre-Star Wars), Sturgeon-written, original-cast Star Trek movie could've been epic! But directed by whom? Who would've made it truly special and unique -- Hal Ashby, Norman Jewison, Sidney Lumet, a 14-year-old Tarantino, displaying his Mozart-like talents at a young age? It's fun to speculate.
4:30 I think after a few months in a confined space without fresh air and blue sky most people would be quite happy about a bit of nature.
I have to say you continue to impress me with your deduction skills, often you have the whole core of the episode figured out quite early. It's a joy to watch.
And I agree there are some confusing elements. Why is the communication distorted? Why is Lt. Teller not there at the end? (Did you recognize her as the woman who tried to marry in "Balance of Terror"?) Why did they even "allow" the knight to hurt McCoy, he probably didn't "wish" to be turned into a kebab.
McCoy didn't wish to be harmed, but Barrows talked about being fought for by a knight, and that set up the attack. He didn't buy the reality and the Caretaker let it happen because it could be fixed.
It's basically Westworld - but for a civilized people that would never get in fights. So the safety features are a bit negligent but the ultra advanced medical first aid compensates good enough.
Sometimes when you try not to think of something, you think of it. Know what I mean?
as a Navy vet, you are correct...some would wonder where the bars were the first 10 minutes on the planet...(and the "Rand Incident" was handled awfully)
Talk about the flirtiest Yeoman ever - she is a cutie tho 😆
As soon as I saw the white rabbit I knew this was going to be a very special bunny tails! Lol
"...think about puppies." I never liked this episode much but I enjoyed the reaction!
Thanks very much!
I live in the country. Thats not shore leave, thats my yard.
Because I liked fairy tales, this episode was the one that made me a fan.
Great Reaction as Usual 👍👍👍👍
Thanks !
15:39 Yes Bunny, all actors with horrible Irish Accents are really leprechauns.
I KNEW IT
Hey! What's wrong with tigers? 😁
In this instance Theodore Sturgeon is the person who came up with the idea. He was a science fiction writer, one of many who wrote stories for the Star Trek.
How can I get you that dress bunny if I don't know your size?
If you find it anywhere, you can add it to my Throne and I have the option to select the size!
Don't know if you were aware, but you got a very nice shout-out in the latest episode of the Inglourious Treksperts podcast. It happens at the 2 hr 42 minute 11 second mark in their holiday special counting down the Top Ten Seasons of Star Trek. Of course, I wouldn't recommend listening to the entirety of the episode (or much of the rest of their content) because it will spoil huge swaths of Trek for you. But congratulations on the plug!
I was not aware! Thanks!
The other woman, Angela Martine, in the landing party was going to to get married to Robert Tomlinson before he was killed in "Balance of Terror." Yes, you could tell that first scene on the bridge was written with Rand in mind. The fight with Finnegan, on rocky terrain, was one of the most violent fights on TV to date.
This was always a favorite of mine as a kid, probably because it had the characters running around outside and using their imaginations, which was exactly what I always did.
" a fencing weopon" priceless!
Yeah, that pointy thingamajig! 😂
Oh nice! Glad to see these more often!
This two-parter won a Hugo Award, SF's finest accolade.
